After rushing out of Donglinkou, it is naturally impossible to go to Ankou County again.

I had no choice but to go around in a big circle, and the sky was already dark, so I returned to Dazhai.

In this battle, Lu Bu was full of spirit, and he felt that the blood of the past was boiling again.

In particular, the thousands of Cao troops were frightened and did not dare to pursue, which was not a small blow to morale.

It's just that after returning to the camp, after the soldiers counted the casualties, Lu Bu was stunned.

The 5,000 people brought by Wei Yue only survived more than 1,300, and the most elite ace team of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry he brought with him also lost more than 400 people, and Zhang Xiu, Wei Yue and Xu Sheng, who led the troops this time, were wounded respectively.

Zhang Xiu and Xu Sheng are okay, although there are six or seven knife wounds and gunshot marks on their bodies, they are not too serious, at least they are sober.

And Wei Yue, who was hit by an arrow in his arm, was wounded by a knife thirteen, and had been fighting at the forefront of the battle, and fainted before he returned to Dazhai, and it was the soldiers who carried him back, and the military doctor also shook his head after seeing it, saying that he could only try to treat it.

Lu Bu sat in the tent of the Chinese army and drank bitterly and drank sullen wine, and he no longer had the vigor when he rushed out of Donglinkou.

He knew that he would be ambushed and suffer losses in this battle, but he never imagined that the casualties would be so heavy.

I'm afraid that it will be more embarrassing than Xiahoudun being burned and poisoned in Anfeng County.

In fact, if it had been more than a year ago, Lu Bu would have been very uncomfortable with such a defeat, but it would not have been like now, and a strong sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

It's like not being interested in everything, including all military rules and discipline.

Obviously, he issued a strict ban on alcohol, but he didn't drink it in his own tent, but ran to the Chinese military tent and drank it unscrupulously.

It's not the first time I've lost a battle, what's wrong with me today.

Lu Bu also asked himself in his heart.

The more you drink this wine, the more sober it becomes, and your troubles increase instead of decreasing.

Finally, he seemed to understand why he was doing this today.

It's been more than a year, and it's been more than a year since the ambush battle outside Xiaopei City.

Since Lin Mo's assistance, he has crisscrossed the two states and recovered the three counties, and he has not tasted a single defeat, which time has he not achieved the greatest success at the lowest cost.

Lu Bu himself once felt that he seemed to have no opponents, Cao Cao, who coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shao, who was the third prince of the fourth dynasty, and Liu Biao, who rode into Jingzhou alone and held an army of 180,000, are all waiting for me to clean up one by one.

Not to mention Li Dao, Guo Yan and other departments who were surviving in Guanzhong, Sun Ce of Jiangdong District, and Xiliang of Qianghu chaos.

Today's defeat not only caused the loss of these thousands of soldiers and horses, but also caused Lu Bu to suffer a blow head-on, knocking all his hopes to pieces.

He looked at the map on the handsome case in a daze.

Scold.

There were still more than 100,000 horses in Cao Cao's rear, and the front line was only 30,000, so he tossed himself into this appearance.

If he is heartbroken and directly presses the army, how should he deal with it?

Lu Bu does not have Cao Cao's background, although he also has the land of nine counties behind him, and he also has the support of the powerful family, but compared with Cao Cao's heritage, the gap is not half a star.

If it is exchanged for such battle losses, it must be you who loses in the end.

The gradual calmness and profound analysis not only did not make Lu Bu panic, but on the contrary, the sense of powerlessness that lingered in his heart at the beginning was dispelled, and it was replaced by a kind of solemnity.

It's been too smooth, and for more than a year, whether it is the gathering of talents, the growth of the army, or the expansion of territory, it has been too smooth, so that people are arrogant.

This kind of arrogance is not only in oneself, but more importantly, it has spread throughout the entire army, Wei Yue, Zhang Xiu, Xu Sheng, and then the captains, captains, and even the lowest sergeants.

They all seem to have forgotten that they are facing the most powerful opponent in the world, an opponent who can dominate the Central Plains and cross the north and south.

Therefore, when the news of the defeat spread throughout Dazhai, the morale in the barracks fell directly to the bottom.

After defeating the battle, it was normal for morale to be low, but when Fang went to visit Wei Yue and them, Lu Bu could see from the eyes of the soldiers that it was a slump that should not be there.

Just like the original self, it was not because of this defeat that I was uncomfortable, but because I had a strong sense of powerlessness in my heart.

Lu Bu finally understood the crux of the problem, and felt that this defeat was still very valuable.

However, he only understands this truth, he needs to make everyone understand the mystery.

Thinking that he was about to do it, Lu Bu stood up and prepared to go out to gather all the generals above the commander to give a lecture.

There are still more than 10,000 people in the barracks, and it is impossible for them all to gather for political lessons.

He had just walked out of the military tent when a sergeant hurriedly ran over, "Wen Hou, Master Lin and General Gao have arrived, and now they have just entered the camp!" ”

Interestingly, the reports in the army are sorted according to the size of the official position, and the sergeant reports the Lin master book first, and then General Gao, and Lu Bu doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

From his point of view, this is of course the best, but he doesn't seem to realize that his son-in-law's prestige in the army has overshadowed Gao Shun.

"Yoonwen is finally here!"

Lu Bu was immediately overjoyed, with him, he can always make people feel at ease, "Go, welcome them." ”

At the gate, Chen Gong, Liu Ye and Jia Xu were already waiting there, and when they saw Lu Bu coming, Lin Mo, Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun walked towards them, "Lord Yue, father, Wen Hou."

The three of them saluted separately, Lu Bu first looked around at the three of them, and then pressed his big hand on Lin Mo's shoulder, and said with emotion: "You have finally arrived!" ”

In addition to the three of them, there were a thousand cavalry, and at this point, all the cavalry was assembled in place.

"Master Yue, they have explained the situation to me just now."

Lin Mo frowned and sighed, "No one would have thought that Cao Cao would dare to use troops like this, transfer the only soldiers and horses to Donglinkou, and deliberately set up two ambush lines. ”

Chen Gong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he also advocated going to the rescue, and he was responsible.

Therefore, when Lin Mo said this, Chen Gong looked at him with obvious gratitude in his eyes.

"Fortunately, Wenhe finally reminded me that they were not wiped out."

"I heard from the soldiers that Wen Hou blocked the pursuit of Cao's army with his own strength, and this battle was all due to Wen Hou's bravery, and he didn't dare to take credit for it."

Jia Xu has always been so low-key, but Lu Bu's words obviously also intended to elevate his status in the military camp, which Jia Xu understands in his heart.

In fact, when he was willing to adopt the third remedy, Jia Xu knew that he would have a place in this Lu camp in the future.

Lin Mo and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and both nodded their heads in favor of each other.

He is Jia Xu, a famous poisoner from the Three Kingdoms, and he really lives up to his reputation.

Jia Xu's upper, middle and lower three strategies Lin Mo is still not clear, but he only learned about today's defeat at the Yuanmen guard, but what Lu Bu said just now sounded that it was obvious that Jia Xu had made a great contribution.

"Master Yue, I want to go and see them first." Now is obviously not the time to get acquainted with each other, Lin Mo wants to go and see Xu Sheng.

"Let's go."

Lu Bu opened the way ahead.

After walking for a while, before he arrived at the camp for wounded soldiers, Lin Mo looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Yuezhang is really good at managing the army, ordinary troops have suffered such a big defeat, it must be low morale and low morale."

But our army is well-groomed, and it doesn't look like it's lost in a battle. ”

I heard that Lu Bu thought that Lin Mo was not mocking himself, but he looked at him with admiration, not like sarcasm.

He raised his eyes and looked around, only to find that whether it was a sergeant on the night patrol or a sentry standing guard, they were all holding halberds, holding their heads high and their eyes calm.

Ahh

That's right.

At night, these guys drooped their heads one by one, their eyes were confused, and they were a little afraid, so they thought about summoning the military generals above the commander to give lectures.

How can the kung fu in the blink of an eye be as majestic and high-spirited as if he had won a battle.

Didn't they realize this problem at the same time when they drank and realized that the arrogant soldiers were bound to lose?

Is there such a tacit understanding?

Lu Bu scratched his head in confusion, and when he wanted to step forward to ask a few words, he caught a glimpse of the embarrassed gazes of Chen Gong and Jia Xu out of the corner of his eye, and instantly understood what was inside.

Where is this to realize that it is time to suffer a defeat, it is clearly because of Lin Mo's arrival that the military morale of the entire team has been inspired.

He Lin Mo is not only my son-in-law, not only my dependence, the consecutive victories for more than a year, unconsciously, have established a reputation for the undefeated myth in the army.

So as soon as he came, the soldiers immediately changed their mentality.

In a trance, because of his appearance on the battlefield of Donglinkou today, the picture of the soldiers suddenly rising up to kill the enemy appeared, and the reason was the same.

No wonder these guys look at me like this, what's the matter, do you think I'm going to be jealous of my son-in-law?

Joke! He is my son-in-law, the heir of the Lu family's foundation!

Lu Bu generously admitted, "Yunwen, don't hide it, before you came, they were all depressed.

This military appearance is all due to you, and your current prestige in the army is not under me. ”

Lin Mo looked around in amazement, a little unbelievable, am I so powerful?

After catching a glimpse of Chen Gong's affirmative eyes, Lin Mo smiled and said, "It's all taught by Master Yue." ”

Lu Bu's originally proud eyes were a little resentful, why did I sound like he was teasing me?

Lu Lingqi was originally in a very dignified mood, she knew what such a fiasco meant for an army without fighting, but when she also understood that Lin Mo had become a person who could carry the burden in the army, she couldn't help but feel a little arrogant in her heart.

This can be worthy of being my man, not to mention invincible in the world like my father, but his prestige in the army must be unmatched.

Walking through the wounded barracks, the strong smell of medicine came to my nose, and all around me were painful moans, and from time to time I could hear sudden screams, and then there was a smell of burnt meat.

The healing methods in this era are very rough, for some serious knife wounds, they will choose to directly press the soldering iron to disinfect and stop bleeding, as for whether they can survive depends on fate.

The long aisles are depressing.

Walking to the innermost, it is the place where Wei Yue is recuperating.

At this time, Wei Yue was lying unconscious on the couch, his face pale.

Next to him are Zhang Xiu, who hangs his arms with coarse cloth, and Xu Sheng, who is lying on the couch.

Zhang Xiu is okay, except for hanging colors, but some trance.

But Xu Sheng, lying on the couch, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were moist, he was obviously crying, and from time to time he would suddenly twitch like a nightmare.

Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu have long been accustomed to this, and people who have not experienced a decent battle will have this kind of post-war frightened reaction when they suddenly encounter a desperate battle.

The battle in Guangling City, in the final analysis, was too easy.

The battle of Donglinkou really made Xu Sheng see the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time.

After everyone entered, because Zhang Xiu had never seen Lin Mo, he just stood up and saluted Lu Bu, but Xu Sheng was excited to get up, and shouted in a choked voice: "Childe."

"Don't get up, lie on your stomach."

The most taboo in the army is to have distant relatives, and Lin Mo has always asked Lu Bu not to have too obvious favoritism towards Zhang Liao and Wei Xu.

But people, after all, they are emotional animals, and Xu Sheng is different from others for Lin Mo after all.

He sat next to Xu Sheng and looked at the wounds on his body, which were full of seven paths, shocking.

"I'm fine, I can't die, but the brothers under my hands."

After seeing Lin Mo, Xu Sheng had a sense of intimacy when he saw his family, and all kinds of grievances poured out, and he cried directly, "They died in front of me, falling down one by one, I can't do anything."

Lin Mo didn't know what words of comfort he could say, he only learned the approximate number of battlefield casualties from the Yuanmen guards, of course, there was no way to have the same sense of impact as an immersive person like Xu Sheng.

Come to think of it.

Under Guangling City, he just watched the number one hundred and ten people being burned to death and had an uncomfortable reaction, but there were three or four thousand people who fell next to Xu Sheng.

He could only repeat as if he were soothing a child: "It's okay, it's okay"

"Ahem."

After a while, Lu Bucai coughed twice, and then introduced to Zhang Xiu, who looked confused: "Ziwen, he is my son-in-law, Lin Mo and Lin Yunwen." Yunwen, this is Xiliang Zhang Xiu Zhang Ziwen. ”

After a brief introduction, Lin Mo understood Lu Bu's reminder, and immediately got up to look at Zhang Xiu, and said with a smile: "The name of the Gun King of the Northland is also like thunder, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name." ”

Zhang Xiu was a little happy because he finally saw Lin Mo, but when he heard him say this, he felt a little resentful in his heart like Lu Bu just now, he shook the injured arm that was hung around his neck by the strip of cloth, and sneered: "Ashamed, ashamed"

Realizing his gaffe, Lin Mo hurriedly changed the topic, "I heard that the general's Hundred Birds Chaofeng marksmanship is extremely powerful, with a combination of rigidity and softness, and I hope to have the opportunity to see the demeanor of the Northland Spear King." ”

Lin Mo didn't just divert the topic at random, he said this to test Zhang Xiu's reaction.

It is said that Betty Bear Zhang Xiu inherited the gun Wang Tongyuan, but I want to see if it is true.

Before Zhang Xiu could speak, there were bursts of cries outside the tent.

"Master Lin is here!"

"Master Lin is in the general's tent!"

"But Wen Hou's son-in-law, Master Lin?"

"Do we have another master book in our army?"

"Quick, help me to see!"

Oh, good fellow, after a while, there were people standing outside the tent, some of them hung their arms with cloth bands like Zhang Xiu, some of them had their whole legs deformed and were supported by robes, and some of them had their heads wrapped with gauze, and they were still red with blood.

However, after seeing Lin Mo, everyone's eyes were full of joy.

This scene made Lin Mo's nose a little sour.

He has always felt that only the love and righteousness in the army can make them firm in their hearts, so when Lu Bu stands in the crowd, the soldiers will be determined.

I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, I would have such prestige when I couldn't even recognize many captains in the barracks.

Naturally, Lin Mo also has a sense of substitution as the protagonist of this team.

So much so, looking at the injuries on their bodies, my heart will be mixed.

"At this time, you should go and say a few words."

Lu Bu leaned over and reminded in a low voice, and then added, "You must lift your spirit." ”

Lin Mo nodded, looking at the wounded soldier in front of him who had changed from a lonely mentality to a hopeful one because of himself, and felt a feeling in his heart.

He stepped out, only to find that the outside of the military tent was already full of people, and everyone consciously made way for him.

Behind him, Lu Bu and the others followed him within one step, and even Xu Sheng stood up and followed.

He looked around at the crowd and saw anticipation in their eyes.

Although Lin Mo was excited, after all, he didn't have this kind of experience in teaching, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Bu could only glance frequently.

Lifting, cheering.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, there has never been an army that wins a hundred battles, only those who are defeated and do not retreat, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, and the final victory must belong to them!"

I've always known that you are such an army!

Finally, I want to tell you that I, Lin Mo, and Lin Yunwen are here, and the defeat of our army ends here, and the defeat of Cao's army begins. ”

Lin Mo's words were like morning bells and dusk drums, as if an invisible force was violently hitting everyone's hearts.

Some people looked at each other in amazement, some people were like hearing the sound of heaven, and some people burst into tears.

This is the end of the defeat of our army, the defeat of Cao's army, and it is up to me to clean up Cao Cao.

Such an arrogant declaration, uttered at such a time.

For another person, they are unbelievers.

But Lin Mo said so, they believed it!

After a moment of silence, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Victory!" Win! Win! ”

A roar echoed through the barracks, hovering above the nine heavens, roaring in everyone's heart.

It is said to be encouraging, but at the moment, this team is screaming as if they are swearing before going on the expedition.

Well done, Yunwen!

Lu Bu's heart blossomed, because he, like the sergeants, firmly believed in Lin Mo.
