Chapter 62: Everything is in plan
"It's okay now, look at the situation is going to rain down, Huainan is full of moisture, I don't know how long it will rain, when the earth is soaked, the war horse may be stuck at any time, and our army's biggest reliance will lose its effect."
"The trouble doesn't stop there, our army's grain road is hundreds of miles, and there are many inconveniences under the heavy rain, I just hope that this rain will not fall for too long."
"What do you think, it's the rainy season! Ming'er may also go down the day after tomorrow, alas, it's a pity that it's a good time to rush into battle twice. ”
......
Lin Mo's declaration of victory was drowned in a sea of verbal criticism, but because of Lu Bu's prestige, no one dared to accuse him in person.
In the end, the noise of everyone was annihilated in Lu Bu's gaze, which made people dare not look directly.
"It's all gone!" With a roar, the generals walked out one by one with their heads bowed.
After the generals left, Lu Bu's face with evil aura eased, he stood up and walked to Lin Mo's side, patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, there is a father-in-law here, I will support you in a big trouble!" ”
Lin Mo was a little surprised, he really didn't expect Lu Bu to have such patience with him, and asked with a wry smile: "Lord Yue, don't you really blame me for delaying the fighter?" ”
This time, Lu Bu's hand was directly on Lin Mo's shoulder, leaned over and whispered: "I said, we are a family, and the family advances and retreats together, understand?"
Besides, our army has no losses, it's just a matter of spending some grain and grass, okay, don't worry about it. ”
After speaking, he turned to look at Lu Su and asked loudly, "How does Zijing think he should deal with himself now?" ”
Lu Su glanced at Lin Mo, not only to test whether he had a plan to prepare, but also to remind, brother, if you didn't think about it this time, then the brother is here, don't mind.
"In fact, what General Pepping just said is not unreasonable, it is inconvenient for our army to fight under heavy rain, and the grain route is lengthy and variable. Now it is better to send some money and Chaohu Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo and others, and ask them to send troops to occupy Anhui County, and said that after the matter is completed, they will allow grain and grass to show the court's reward, and the two bandits are greedy for profit and will be moved. ”
Lu Bu chewed carefully, Anhui County is Liu Xun's lair, as long as Anhui County is lost, the front-line soldiers and horses will inevitably be in turmoil, and at that time, it will be easy to clean up Liu Xun.
"I forgot about these bandits!" Lu Bu laughed.
"I also reminded Yunwen before the expedition, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered these people." Lu Su's brain is still very alive, and he coaxed Lu Bu and Lin Mo in one sentence.
"Very good, very good, both of you have merit, and the first credit is still the one of Angelica." When Lu Bu turned around and returned to the handsome case to write a letter to Zheng Bao and them, Lin Mo finally spoke.
"No need, Lord Yue."
Under the suspicious gaze of Lu Bu and Lu Su, Lin Mo said calmly: "On the eve of the war, I carefully explored Liu Xun's camp, which is only two zhang away from the height of Anhui water. ”
Then he walked to the mouth of the big tent and then raindropped bean-sized raindrops from the sky, nodded and said: "Such a heavy rain, if it rains for several days, the water level in the upper reaches will definitely rise, but because we blocked the Anhui water, it is impossible to judge the water level in Liu Xun's position."
When the time is right, take out the sandbags, the flood will flood Liu Xun's camp into a vast sea, and will also turn the 20,000 troops into fish and shrimp in the water, and Lord Yuezhang can lead the army to take prisoners. ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, his expression was dazed, and he didn't seem to fully understand the meaning of Lin Mo's words.
After a while, the pen in his hand fell on the handsome case, and the whole face was visible to the naked eye from confusion to surprise and shock.
So, that's why you must take the road of Wanshui?
In other words, you thought about doing this when you were in the spring of life?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Lin Mo was too demonic, how did you calculate all this so accurately...
"But... But what if, what if Liu Xun moves the camp these days? ”
If Lin Mo didn't take the initiative to tell this matter, Lu Bu didn't think so far-reaching at all, and he believed that Liu Xun would also be in the dark.
But after knowing this, it is inevitable that he will explore the flaws in the whole plan, and he is more willing to listen to Lin Mo say some countermeasures, showing his otherworldly layout.
"No, it won't."
It was Lu Su who spoke, and the confidence on his face just now faded, replaced by a kind of admiration, "Yunwen's layout this time should have started when Peping first rushed into battle."
The two charges made Liu Xun see the strength of our cavalry, and at the same time made him realize the containment of the cavalry by Wanshui, so you hope that during the period of waiting for the rain, Liu Xun will rely more and more on the geographical advantage and dare not leave the side of Wanshui, and finally collapse with a blow from the water of heaven! ”
Each of these moves seems unrelated, but in fact it is to make the pieces on the board fall the way he expects.
He is really a master of the game.
Lu Su had seen Lin Mo's methods before, but this time he couldn't help but be impressed by his delicate thoughts.
Maybe it's because he also wants to go with the generals, after all, every step he took before was deceptive.
When he took the Wanshui route, he thought he was just trying to lure out Liu Xun; When Budai blocked the river, he thought that he was just so that the war horse could not be affected by the Anhui water, and at this point, he finally understood that all this was just a part of the plan.
Good means, good calculations, good strategies, good layouts...
"Why don't they make a few ridiculous remarks about you?" After listening to Lu Su's analysis, Lu Bu was no longer worried about Liu Xun's relocation of the camp, and walked to Lin Mo's side again and asked.
"Things are made in secret, and words are defeated." Lin Mo's answer was only eight words, but it made Lu Bu's eyes shine brightly.
is worthy of being my son-in-law, this pattern, this mind, how do you look at it and like it, I really want to beat Boping to celebrate, and Chu Nan, just break a leg.
In fact, Lin Mo has not been revealed just because of his lack of prestige in the army.
Such a plan sounds seamless, but there is no possibility of mistakes in the middle, such as heavy rain during the march, and Liu Xun is as timid as a mouse and does not dare to fight.
It's just that even if this strategy fails, it won't bring too much loss, so he will give it a go.
Besides, these fierce generals can always pick out thorns when they are not convinced, and instead of following them every step of the way, it is better to let them witness the results in the end.
I believe that after this battle, their prestige in the army should be enough to make their attitude towards them no longer look like looking at the Lu family's son-in-law.
"Yunwen, at first I was a little worried about whether the military career made you uncomfortable, you don't seem to have the sharpness you had when you came out in Pengcheng this time."
Lu Bu was happy, revealed his heart, and said with a smile: "I still want to give you some time to slowly run in, it seems that you are still the Lin Yunwen who is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away." ”
"Lord Yue's words are serious, in fact, no matter how we fight, I believe we will not lose this battle."
Lin Mo showed a calm expression on his face and said softly: "I just hope that there will be fewer casualties, after all, it won't be long before we and Cao Cao will have a big battle that will decide life and death, not only to preserve our own strength, but also to absorb others." ”
The opponent who is really a headache has not yet appeared, and Lin Mo has always been clear about this.
The other party has the army, grain and grass and reputation to crush his side, plus the military generals, and only when he really has the strength to fight against Cao Cao can he be qualified to relax.
Lujiang, Guangling, and Xuyi, as long as these counties are handled properly, they can increase their own strength.
On the other hand, on Cao Cao's side, after Lu Bu's army went out, he also received information from Xuchang, and Cao Cao sent 150,000 troops to attack Wancheng in three ways.
Lin Mo clearly remembered this history, and the next trend was that Zhang Xiu surrendered directly at Jia Xu's suggestion.
But the wife Cao because of a sentence: Mrs. is willing to share the bed with me tonight, and directly put Cao Ang, Dian Wei and tens of thousands of elites into it.
In this way, it is also a trade-off.
The only thing that made Lin Mo a little worried was that history had changed because of his own intervention, so he didn't know if the Battle of Wancheng would change because of this.
"I'm ashamed, I've been immersed in how to defeat Liu Xun, and Brother Yunwen is already preparing for the future war, which is ashamed." Lu Su folded his hands and lowered his head and laughed at himself.
Lu Bu didn't care about this, he walked out of the military tent directly, exposed to the torrential rain, and let the rain slap his resolute face.
After so many years of fighting, it seems that I have always disliked the heavy rain on the march.
Only this time, he hoped that the rain would fall more and longer.
This rain helped him and made his son-in-law famous in the army.
At this time, the rain washing on his face seemed to have a sense of intimacy, and Lu Bu felt that it was not rain, but reinforcements invited by his son-in-law.
