"Of course I know that Yunwen's article on thieves will definitely be sung at home and abroad, and it will be popular for thousands of years, but I never expected that Cao Cao would be critically ill."

Lu Bu was as happy as a child of more than two hundred catties, throwing the bamboo slips in his hand up and down, whistling.

After the poetry meeting, Chen Gong analyzed with him how great the strategic significance of Lin Mo was this time, which would basically form a shackle on the family that supported Cao Cao, at least in the short term, they would definitely persuade Cao Cao to give up attacking Xuzhou, so as to win the most critical time.

Everyone knows that after Yuan Shao holds Youzhou in his hands, the next step will be to go south, as long as it drags on for half a year, then Cao Cao has no second way to go except to join forces with himself to fight Yuan, unless he is iron-hearted and dies, and finally he is annexed by Yuan Shao.

Obviously, Cao Cao was not so stupid.

Therefore, in Lu Bu's cognition, the biggest gain of this poetry meeting is not that Lin Mo won the poetry award, nor that Ziyang Academy received the injection of new students, but that Cao Cao's troops were slowed down, which is the key to changing the trend of the battle.

The result? After receiving the information from the Xuchang scout, Lu Bu almost couldn't straighten up without smiling.

I know that your thief is very good, but I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this.

Cao Cao, he is critically ill, if he can't afford to go down to talk to Dong Zhuo, then this matter will be interesting.

The imperial court, which is supported by the great families, will immediately lose its internal balance, and various conflicts will break out on the huge territory in order to compete for the interests of the family.

Well, of course, you can't miss this critical period, rush up and take a bite of this piece of fat.

Even Lu Bu had a plan to send troops in his heart, all the way from Taishan County to Yanzhou, all the way from Xiaoguan to Yuzhou.

Who can stop that time? Who dares to stand in the way?

This is the grand blueprint of Lu Bu's heart, but Lin Mo is not so optimistic.

said that Cao Cao was critically ill, and what he subconsciously thought of was that Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Jingzhou.

Cao Cao in history was because he was committing a head stroke, and then he was scolded by Chen Lin's thief and his blood flowed backwards, and he was fine on the spot.

The situation is changed, and if you break the sky, you will have a head wind attack that scolds him, how can you scold him to be critically ill.

Who is Cao Cao?

His strength is not only in military and political affairs, but he also has the same strong psychological endurance as Liu Bei.

Whether it is the defeat of Wancheng or the defeat of Chibi, after every defeat, unlike ordinary people's regret and chagrin, he will be surprisingly calm, reflect on his own mistakes and immediately make judgments on how to deal with them.

How could such a powerful person be scolded for being critically ill.

Could it be that he is like Lu Meng who cheated on the disease and sneaked up?

After all, this thought was only fleeting, because the preconditions were not met.

Lü Meng deceived the illness to confuse Guan Yu to transfer the remaining Jingzhou army to Fancheng to increase the pressure on Cao Wei, but no matter how much you cheated on Xiao Guan and Peicheng's soldiers and horses, it was impossible to move, and there was no war with the outside world now.

Is that to invite you into the urn to lure us to attack the county of Qian or Taishan?

It's hard to say.

"What's the matter, great news, you seem to be sorry for Cao Cao." Lu Bu was a little dazed, obviously he should celebrate with his hands.

Lin Mo clasped his hands on his chest and looked at Jia Xu.

Should I say it or not, I really don't know what Cao Cao wants to do, the old yin should have a clue.

What do you want me to do? I don't know. Jia Xu subconsciously lowered his head, and then felt the scrutiny from Lu Bu.

"What are you waiting for, Mr. Jia? Let's talk about it. Lin Mo smiled.

"Wenhe, this is not good, what is always hidden in your heart, you are a great talent in the world, others don't know if I don't know, say it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for transferring you to Xiaoguan to garrison." Lu Bu looked like a teacher asking for sin.

Jia Xu waved his hand again and again, "Wen Hou praises me, just below, I dare not be ashamed." ”

Then he stroked his black and white beard and pondered, "I thought that Cao Cao should be cheating." ”

"I agree, but I don't know what he wants to do." Lin Mo nodded approvingly.

Hearing that both of them agreed that Cao Cao was a fraud, Lu Bu's heart cooled.

It seems that the dream of annexing Yu and Yan'er Prefecture has been shattered, damn Cao Cao, why can't he really be critically ill.

"After the news of the poetry meeting spreads, Cao Cao will inevitably face pressure from both sides, the morale in the inner military camp is low, and the powerful in the outside family will have a cowardly mood, in this case, Cao Cao will be in a dilemma.

What to do, simply fall ill, in this way, there is a statement both internally and externally. ”

Even Lu Bu could understand the meaning of Jia Xu's words.

After all, he must have bought a war horse to start a war, and to start a war, it is inevitable to require the support of the powerful family, and the impact of poetry will make the powerful family retreat.

But if you really give up, where is the face of the court?

At such a time, if you have a head stroke and you can't afford to get sick, then the battle plan can only be shelved, and you can finally let things go a little later.

"There is another possibility, this is Cao Cao's strategy to underestimate the enemy, so that Wen Hou will be arrogant and even take the initiative to attack."

Jia Xu continued: "Therefore, in the next suggestion, the defense of Peicheng and Xiaoguan must not be slackened in the slightest, the soldiers and horses can only be increased and not decreased, and the training of various departments is still the same, and at the same time, multiple scouts are sent to keep an eye on the incoming troops from the two directions of Qian County and Taishan County.

As long as he waited until June of the following year, Cao Cao would have no more thoughts about Xuzhou, and he would not dare to act rashly. ”

The analysis of the old yin goods can be said to be an overview of the overall situation, and he explained what Lin Mo thought of and what he didn't expect.

No matter which choice Cao Cao made, he suggested taking the most stable path, that is, to ensure that there would be no fighting before June next year, and after this point, Yuan Shao had probably pacified Youzhou and became Cao Cao's number one threat.

At that time, he had to give up Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was completely enlightened, but he still habitually looked at Lin Mo with a verifying gaze, and saw the latter's affirmative nod, before he spoke: "Okay, the training of all departments is still the same, Xiao Guan Peicheng's defense will not move, and then increase the activity area of the scouts, so as not to respond to all changes." ”

Cao Cao is obviously critically ill, and he is still facing a great enemy, Lu Bu feels that the old yin is a little too cautious.

Sometimes it is reckless to fight.

After all, Lin Mo also nodded, and although Lu Bu was very disappointed, he reluctantly complied.

"Lord Yue, in fact, a truce with each other and a joint fight against Yuan is the best for us, there are some things that Cao Cao can do, but we may not be able to do it." Seeing Lu Bu's loss, Lin Mo comforted him with a joking tone.

"No matter what time it is, Yunwen can clearly judge the situation, and he admires it." Jia Xu smiled and arched his hand.

At first, it was a kind of appreciation for Lin Mo, but after the defeat of Donglinkou, he saw the identity of Lin Mo's bearer clearly, and confirmed that he was Lu Bu's successor.

He is the master of the day, and compared to accurate insight into the battle situation, it is more important than this strategy.

For example, Lin Mo's words before, Jia Xu thought it was true.

Cao Cao can start wars again and again because he tosses up, if he really defeats Xuzhou and Huainan, he also has the ability to quickly stabilize the situation, because behind him is the imperial court.

But Lu Bu couldn't, he took 10,000 steps back and said, Cao Cao is really dead, and he took Yu and Yan Erzhou by luck, and Lu Bu doesn't have the ability to stabilize the situation in a short time.

To stabilize Xuzhou, it is the Chen family and the Lu family to work behind the scenes, and to stabilize Huainan, it is the influence of Liu Ye and the Qiao family.

Yu and Yan'erzhou, especially Yanzhou, have been controlled by Yingchuan for a long time, and Lu Bu can't control Yingchuan Junjie at all, and in the end he just has a backyard that doesn't stop being smoked.

What's more, in the confrontation with Cao Cao, he can fail once, twice, or even three times, but Lu Bu can't, he can defeat him in one time.

This is the heritage, the heritage of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, the heritage of the Yingchuan lineage, and even the heritage of the puppet emperor Liu Xie.

This kind of heritage is not something that can catch up in a year and a half by virtue of ingenuity or those inventions.

Lu Bu didn't understand this truth, but Lin Mo understood it, which was enough to make Jia Xu feel at ease.

Anyway, you sons-in-law, you have to be small.

"Anti-Yuan."

Lu Bu was in a trance for a moment, his past memories surfaced, and he couldn't help but smile with emotion, "I had at least three chances to kill him back then, but it's a pity." ”

He remembered the young man who dared to draw his sword above the court and shouted to the powerful Dong Zhuo: My sword is not at a disadvantage, and nine years have passed in a blink of an eye.

"Lord Yue, don't despise Yuan Shao, he is not Yuan Shu, he deserves to be the first prince of today."

Lu Bu waved his hand and sighed, "I know, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuan Shao had no less than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 20,000 iron cavalry alone, as well as all kinds of chariots that rushed into battle, inexhaustible grain, grass, and ordnance, I never dared to despise him."

It's just a momentary feeling. ”

"So much?" This time, Lin Mo was stunned.

Not to mention the troops, 20,000 cavalry alone is scary enough, as well as chariots

It's embarrassing to say, I've been assisting my old father-in-law for more than a year, and I haven't even seen what the chariot commander looks like.

If you look at it this way, Comrade Yuan is really inhumane, and it is embarrassing to lose to Cao Cao.

"The most important thing is that we have never fought against Yuan's army, and I don't know how strong they are." Jia Xu couldn't help frowning.

After analyzing Cao Cao's fraud and should not be able to set off too much of a wave, the topic of discussion has changed to next year's confrontation with Yuan Shao.

Zhao Yun, who had never had a chance to speak, finally spoke, "There are four generals under Yuan Shao, known as the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei. Yan Liangwen and ugliness of the three armies, Yuan Shao praised the courage of the two of them.

The last general had a battle with Wen Chou, and his marksmanship was fierce and extremely brave.

There are also two people Zhang He and Gao Ran, and it is reported that these two are also brave champions of the three armies, and they are extraordinary. ”

Hebei Siting Pillar.

Lu Bu was not shocked, he was the least afraid of the other party's bravery, Yuan Shu also said that Ji Ling's courage was not under him, and the actual water was only seen on the battlefield.

Seeing that Lu Bu was unmoved, Zhao Yun continued: "When it comes to combat strength, the most elite under Yuan Shao's command are two teams, one of which is the first to enter the camp, and the number of people who arrived in the camp first is eight hundred, all of them are armed with heavy crossbows, and they are extremely accurate.

At the time of the Battle of Jieqiao, General Gongsun led the White Horse Yi to break Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao will first go to the camp and hide in the queue, and when the White Horse Yi approached, the queue dispersed, and the two thousand White Horse Yi were not close to the enemy fifty steps before they were lost more than half, and finally only a few hundred horsemen were spared. ”

Recalling the tragic situation at that time, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for the former robe, and said in a deep voice: "Because Bai Ma Yi has lost all the losses of General Gongsun and lost his reliance, it is embarrassing to lose again and again. ”

Before and after the Battle of Jieqiao, Lin Mo was still relatively clear, and it could be said that it set off the beginning of Gongsun Zhan's defeat.

But the old father-in-law and Jia Xu didn't know much about it, and their expressions were solemn, "I only know that Gongsun Chan was defeated at the Jieqiao, but I don't know that there is such a story in the middle. ”

Whether it is Cao Cao's elite cavalry in Anfeng County, or the more than 1,000 wolf cavalry under his command, they are all as fast as the wind.

But in terms of speed alone, I am afraid that it will not be more brilliant than Bai Ma Yicong, and even they will not be spared, which has to be said to make Lu Bu a little worried.

After all, like Gongsun Zhan, his biggest reliance is on the cavalry under his command.

"What about the second one?" Jia Xu couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Yun continued: "The second group is the Euphorbia of Commander Zhang He, I heard that Yuan Shao selected a thousand elites from more than 200,000 troops after annexing Qing, Merge and Hebei Prefectures.

All of them are holding halberds and giant shields, wearing heavy armor, although their movements are not fast, but once they are close, they are all torn apart.

Yuan Shao formed this Euphorbia to deal with General Gongsun's White Horse Righteousness, but after the boundary bridge, White Horse Yi never recovered, so people in the world did not hear much about the name of Euphorbia. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu had already begun to rub his swollen temples.

In this way, Yuan Shao not only has many soldiers, but also has elites who do not lose to the camp.

This battle is difficult.

No wonder Wen He and Yunwen both concluded that as long as they survived this half a year, Cao Cao would definitely not dare to have any ideas, and Yuan Shao was the most powerful opponent.

"Fortunately, Zilong came, but it made me know a lot about Yuan Shao's situation." Lu Bu cast an appreciative glance at Zhao Yun.

"Wen Hou is serious." Zhao Yun bowed his hand.

The general situation is clear.

Lu Bu did not feel a little relieved because he learned the other party's information, but felt depressed.

"Fortunately, even if Yuan Shao goes south, Cao Cao will bear the brunt, and we are still in a relatively safe situation, but if the battle situation falls, Wen Hou also needs to help Cao Cao." Jia Xu reminded.

Lu Bu laughed dryly, the world is like chess, and there may be earth-shattering changes within a day.

Yesterday, he was still working hard to resist Cao Cao, and today he has to worry that he will lose to Yuan Shao, so he has to help him.

"What do you want Yunwen?" Seeing Lin Mo's silent contemplation, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at him.

"Now that the enemy has changed from Cao Cao to Yuan Shao."

Lin Mo, who came back to his senses, said quietly: "Then, give him two gifts in case of emergency." ”
