At present, except for Langya's Taishou is vacant, the five counties of Xuzhou have arranged their own people.

On the merits of the Chen family, and Chen Deng also contributed several times, it is indeed not too much to give a Taishou.

However, Lin Mo shook his head, "Langya can't." ”

Lu Bu sneered, "What's the matter, you really plan to give Zhenrong, I wonder, how can the flattering people please you so much." ”

His son-in-law is good in everything, but he likes Zhenrong, he just can't get used to it, and without waiting for Lin Mo to respond, he snorted coldly: "Let's make it clear to you today, it's impossible for me to let Zhenrong be in the position of Taishou." ”

Rong, I've done my best, and the cake I painted was eaten by my father-in-law again.

Lin Mo smiled, "Even if you don't give it to Zhenrong, you can't give it to Chen Deng." ”

"Why?" This time, Lu Bu was interested.

"The Chen family's power in Xuzhou is too great, as the first family here, its appeal and influence are not small, if he is allowed to be Langya Taishou, after a long time, there is a risk of getting out of control."

This is not Lin Mo's alarmism, the power of a taishou is beyond imagination, how many princes have come out of the position of taishou?

Changsha guards Sun Jian, Dongjun guards Cao Cao, and Bohai guards Yuan Shao

In this position, Liu Ye can do it, but Chen Deng cannot.

"Are you worried that the Chen family will rebel in the future?" Lu Bu asked tentatively.

"The power of Langya Taishou, combined with the influence of the Chen family in Xuzhou, it doesn't matter whether he is against it or not, the important thing is that the Chen family can rebel at any time once they have anti-will, which is equivalent to letting the Chen family out of our control, how can we let him be this Taishou?"

Lu Bu recalled that when he was making Quyuan ploughs and keel waterwheels, the Chen family did let the eight major families in Xuzhou gather in the Chen Mansion overnight, and even Lu Wentao had to give some thin noodles.

In Xuzhou, the energy of the Chen family is indeed very large.

From this point of view, his son-in-law's worries are not unreasonable.

Especially since he had a bad record of secretly communicating with Cao Cao before, he was not a clean person in Lu Bu's heart, and he just said that he would give it to a Taishou, but because the territory was big, he didn't delve into the essentials.

was so touched by Lin Mo, he immediately lost this thought, and frowned, "You still see it thoroughly." ”

Then, he asked in a deep voice: "But the merits of the Chen family can't be ignored in the end, and they always have to give some feedback." ”

This thing, be careful when you give it, and be careful if you don't give it.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and then nodded: "It can be too guarded, but Langya can't, Anfeng, isn't Anfeng not too guarded?" ”

"How's that going to work?"

Lu Bu leaned back a little when he heard this, "At that time, I promised Ziyang, the important officials in Anfeng counties all let Yangzhou Shizi take up the post, and he was responsible for lobbying all the powerful families to contribute money and efforts to restore the order of Anfeng, including your poetry club, which was also in this transaction." ”

"Yes, we agreed to Ziyang, aren't we doing the same now?"

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth outlined a touch of cunning, and he smiled sheepishly: "But, we didn't promise him to let Huainan Shizi take the position of Taishou, one Huainan walked out of two Taishou, and the situation would not be what we want to see." ”

Indeed, Lu Bu leaned his whole back on the handsome chair, looked up at the dome, and felt that his headache was getting worse and worse.

As the plate continues to get bigger, there are more and more things to worry about.

When he calmed down and seriously thought about Lin Mo's considerations, the melancholy in his eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a touch of brilliance, "I understand, you let Chen Deng go over to be a Taishou, but the people below are all Huainan scholars, and there will be a delicate balance between the two."

It is not easy for Huainan scholars to set up the Chen family, and Xuzhou scholars will be excluded if they want to enter Anfeng, right? ”

Lin Mo held the back of his head with both hands, leaned against the pillar, and sighed: "Actually, I don't like this method, it's just to increase internal friction, but there is no suitable choice at the moment."

Wait a little longer, wait for the scholars of Ziyang Academy to come out and slowly infiltrate the states and counties, and the situation will be improved. ”

In fact, this road is very far away, and it may not even reach the end.

Because this means that they confronted the worldly torrent head-on, the three emperors and five emperors, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin emperors, Han Wu, Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, all failed to escape the situation of the Son of Heaven and scholars ruling the world together, you can imagine how huge the power of the family is.

In the face of such a fierce beast of the times, how can you be able to defeat it with just one Ziyang Academy?

Lin Mo has a clear understanding of this, and he also understands that if he wants to win this game of chess, he needs to lose more pieces.

"That Langya's position can't be left empty, otherwise the Chen family will think about it again sooner or later." When Lu Bu said this, he obviously agreed with Lin Mo's concept just now.

"Harmony." Lin Mo once again firmly said this name that disgusted Lu Bu.

"You have always been very intelligent, why do you repeatedly make mistakes in this person, did he pour you any decoction?" Lu Bu lost his patience, and his words became sharper.

Lin Mo sighed, "I don't know what kind of person he is, but if he is not deaf or blind, he is not worthy of being in charge, I can only help him all the way to the top, and the scholars of Xu and Yang will believe that I also have a weakness, and I also like to listen to flattery."

In this way, they will not be like a great enemy when they face the poor students who came out of Ziyang Academy.

Moreover, the situation of Xuzhou's dominance is also time to change. ”

This time, Lu Bu was a little confused.

It also sounded like a balancing act, and he couldn't delve into it, and in this day, he had accepted too many ideas that he had never heard of before, and his brain was a little muddy.

I only know that my son-in-law is not confused about Zhenrong, but really uses it, which is enough.

He nodded heavily, "I don't understand these aspects either, and besides, I can't believe it when other outsiders mention it, so you just let it go." ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to laugh at himself and looked at Zhao Yun, "Honestly, without this kid by my side, I don't think I can take care of it no matter how big the territory is." ”

"Wenhou has this good son-in-law, and it will be passed on as a good story."

Are you complaining? You are clearly showing off, that is, Zilong is sincere.

No, he is not sincere, he is still moved, and he can't extricate himself.

After Cao Cao in Xiangxian County received Lu Bu's letter, he laughed out loud, his face was full of contempt and disdain, and he casually threw the letter to Xun You.

This made the Xiahou brothers at a loss, what did Lu Bu say, so happy, both of them couldn't help but lean over to look.

When they first saw Zhang Liao's battle report on the destruction of Jiangdong, they were all stunned and their expressions were stiff.

These two are veterans of the battlefield, and they know too well how difficult it is for Zhang Liao to do this, and how fat he needs to be guts, which is really amazing.

However, for the content behind, he was a little puzzled, and he could only look at Xun You.

"Jiangdong's defeat will inevitably enter a long period of dormancy, Lu Buqiu's edict, the goal is also very clear, that is, when you want to fight with Yuan Shao next, there will be no more backyard fires, it's not simple."

Cao Cao leaned on the handsome chair and glanced at Xun You, and said slowly: "How can Lu Bu have such a brain, it's not Lin Yunwen's idea for him, this kid, the art of war, strategy, vertical and horizontal, it's really a tricky trouble."

What's going on with Zhang Wang? ”

Xun You shook his head, "He said that he hadn't even seen Lin Mo, and he was afraid that it wouldn't work at all if he wanted to know it with emotion and reason." ”

"This thief has harmed me very much, and if he can't do anything, there is no need to go back to Wen County." Whenever he thought that Lin Mo had tried his best to defect to him but finally became the most terrible opponent, Cao Cao felt heartache.

This matter, in the final analysis, is to let Zhang Wang give disaster, if he can go as scheduled, there will be no such bad things at all.

Xun You smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's not easy to kill." ”

Cao Cao's eyes were cold, and there were people I couldn't kill?

Seeing this, Xun You sighed and said in a deep voice: "Sima Jiangong has sent a letter, is Sikong not?"

Hearing Sima Jiangong's name, Cao Cao reflexively sat up and swept away the casual appearance just now.

Sima Jiangong is also Sima Yi's father Sima Fang, as the contemporary head of the Sima family, five of his eight sons are on errands under him.

Moreover, the Sima family is also a northern family, and there are countless protégés and former officials, and under the shaking of the arm is the connotation of a hundred responses, and the energy of the Sima family can be said to be second only to the Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family of the fourth and third princes.

Of course, what can make Cao Cao so solemn is not the background and heritage of the Sima family, but Sima Fang himself.

Because strictly calculated, he Cao Cao is Sima Fang's protégé.

Cao Cao's first official position as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang was recommended by Sima Fang.

Therefore, Cao Cao still respects the former sponsors.

"The Sima family personally came forward to protect him?"

Cao Cao was a little surprised, and after seeing the affirmative look in Xun You's eyes, he nodded, "Let him figure out his own way to see if he can trick Lin Yunwen into going to Wen County." ”

"Whoa."

After Xun You answered, he looked up at Cao Cao, "Sikong, how do you reply to Lu Bu's reply?" ”

Cao Cao stretched his waist and breathed a long sigh of relief, "What else can I do now, if you become a king or lose a villain, you have to admit it, the 30,000 army is swayed by the army of 800 people, Sun Jian is really dead." ”

"Yes, Lu Bu still has more than 8,000 prisoners of war in our army, not to mention, next step is to join forces to resist Yuan, if you don't cut off their worries, I don't think there will be peace talks." Xun You also sighed.

"Let's be demoted to the Marquis of Yong'an, and the marquis of Zhang Liao is also given."

Cao Cao lost his patience, it was useless, and he couldn't count on help in the future, so he didn't need to worry about Sun Ce's feelings, so he waved his hand, "Stand down." ”

When the three of them were about to leave, Cao Cao gave Xiahou a look, and the latter stayed knowingly.

When only the two of them were left in the hall, Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Cao Ren and Cao Hong, how are they?" ”

"The captain of the school touched the gold and led the people to dig up Nanyang, and the utensils were sold for more than 40,000 gold, and Zixiao wrote that they were ready to continue the search in the direction of Hanoi.

Zilian searched all over Runan, and also got more than 30,000 gold, and was ready to go to Lu and Chen to have a look. ”

It's not very glorious to touch gold, so not many people know about it, except for the Xiahou brothers, that is, Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

More than 70,000 gold, which is not a large amount, but for Cao Cao, who is poor at the moment, it can be of great help.

You must know that this crusade was completely unable to get any support from the family, it was a forced war, and in the end, he had to swallow this bitter fruit, which was enough for him to bear.

In the next half a year, there was a break to deal with Yuan Shao, but the cost of armaments that needed to be expanded was an astronomical amount, and it could not be done without the support of the family.

He knew Yuan Shao's army very well, not to mention the cavalry and heavy armor soldiers, so how to deal with the thousands of chariots was enough for a headache.

In addition, I don't know how long this battle will last, and these all need money.

In addition, he was also worried that the successive defeats might make many people in the rear begin to flatter Yuan Shao, and how much strength could these people expect them to support him.

And the biggest crisis comes from the generals, Yuan Shao is now known as having three or four hundred thousand armor, and there are no less than 1,000 generals, but under his command, the fierce generals have folded too much.

In the battle of Guangling, even Yu Ban participated in it, he spit out a mouthful of turbid breath weakly, and muttered: "Yuan Rang, why does Wen want to betray me." ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable, big brother doesn't have to be sad."

Xiahoudun didn't know how to comfort Cao Cao, but his emotion reminded him, Xiahoudun's eyes lit up and he hugged his fists and said: "By the way, eldest brother, didn't you say before that we should train more generals in the army, which reminds me of one thing." ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiahoudun, waiting for him to continue.

"When I came, I passed through Runan, and I heard Zilian say that there was a person who was not weak in martial arts among the newly recruited soldiers in the city, and Zilian asked him to lead a tun chief."

That's it?

Cao Cao looked disappointed, and said what kind of good news, but Xiahou Duan continued: "Zilian told me that what he admires most about this person is not martial arts, but the growth of the troops he brings is growing rapidly, obviously the same batch of recruits, and the armor soldiers brought by that person have an elite style in terms of military appearance and drills. ”

Cao Cao sighed lightly and immediately became interested, Cao Hong he understands, and the person who can make him have such a high evaluation must have real materials.

Moreover, it is not easy to bring a recruit to show his elite appearance after a period of time.

"What is the name of such a man?"

Forehead. Xiahoudun scratched his head and sneered: "At that time, I just asked about touching Captain Jin, and I didn't pay much attention to this person. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but glance at him, you really don't know what the situation is now.

He took a deep breath, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, "There are so many people in the barracks who can lead soldiers, it is too necessary to have a new person to take the position, and immediately write to this person to see me." ”

"Whoa!"

After Xiahou replied, before he walked out of the door of the council hall, he was stopped by Cao Cao, "That's it, anyway, Lu Bu will release him soon, and I will take a detour to take a look when I return." ”

Cao Cao felt that at this time, it was still necessary to show the attitude of Corporal Lixian.

A wizard of military training. Cao Cao repeated this sentence in his mouth, and his eyes were full of excitement.
