Pengcheng, Ziyang Academy.

Originally, it was a two-hall courtyard, with bookshelves in each individual room, including the middle living room, which was blocked by partitions to make a library of books.

Then it is classified according to astronomy and geography, farming and water conservancy, the art of war, war books, and so on.

Later, the poetry club was a great success, attracting more than 2,000 poor students, and the two courtyards seemed much smaller.

Zhen Rong also included the warehouse next door, which was enough to accommodate hundreds of people to read.

If they can't accommodate it, they can only borrow books and take them to the private house where they settle down to read hard.

Unfortunately, there have been no offensive battles recently, so the collection of books has not been increased, and there are only more than 5,000 books in the entire academy.

After the poetry meeting, some poor students who came to the university donated their collection of books, which was worth more than 6,000.

If you want to expand the academy, you can only conquer other states and counties and collect them from those treasury.

If you can attack Jizhou, then no joke, you can easily double the size of the academy, and if the land grabbing method is implemented, the family will not let go, and the five times will not be a problem.

But for now, it's actually pretty good.

At least the old father-in-law was very satisfied, he looked around at the busy students and the neatly stacked books, and sighed with some emotion, "Yunwen, when he was in Luoyang, Cai Yong was known as the person with the most prosperous book collection in the world, and his family had more than 10,000 volumes of books.

But I never imagined that one day I would be able to collect books like him. ”

Indeed, in this world, books are the best decorations.

While the two were chatting, a man in the inner room, who was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a washed faded Confucian robe, greeted him and waved at Weng and his son-in-law, "In the next order, I have seen Wenhou and Lanlinghou." ”

The man's appearance is ordinary, and he belongs to the kind that will not make people look at it more when placed in the crowd.

Weng and his son-in-law glanced at each other, and Lu Bu smiled: "Follow me." ”

The group of three left the quiet but crowded academy and came to the council hall next door.

Xu Shu stood in the middle of the hall, Lin Mo stood next to the desk, and Lu Bu sat on the handsome chair, then looked at Xu Shu, looked up and down and said with a smile: "Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi." When I was in Xiaoguan, I looked forward to meeting you every day. ”

The very simple opening remarks made Xu Shu take two steps back, and a frightened look appeared on the face of Gu Jing Wubo, and his mouth opened and closed, and he stopped talking.

Lin Mo on the side pressed his hand and explained: "Yuan Zhi killed people in the downtown area back then, and changed his name in order to avoid trouble, even now in Xuzhou, worried about the safety of his mother at home, he didn't dare to treat him by his real name, after all, Yingchuan is Cao Cao's lair, and your worries are reasonable." ”

If Lu Bu's words just now made him feel uneasy, then Lin Mo's words made him feel like he was shocked, and he opened his mouth to clean up all the details.

He looked at Lu Bu for a while, and Lin Mo for a while, but he couldn't remember anything if he had prepared a stomach.

"Dare to ask the Marquis of Lanling, how do you know so much about the next place?" Lin Mo would investigate the students of Ziyang Academy, which he had known for a long time, after all, he also knew that this Ziyang Academy was Lin Mo cultivating his own power in the final analysis.

But in addition to a few close friends in Jingzhou, there are only a few classmates in Yingchuan who know about it, so there is no reason to find out so quickly.

Lu Bu smiled proudly, "Xu Yuanzhi is talented, but he is not a mere person, have you heard of Zhao Zilong's name?" ”

"General Zhao is brave and invincible, single-handedly broke into the position of thousands of Cao troops to find the Marquis of Lanling, and then retreated to save the Lord in the hands of Dian Wei, no one knows about this." Xu Shu looked suspicious, not knowing why Lu Bu asked like this.

"That Ling knows that he is just a military marquis under Gongsun Zhan, and later he was idle in Changshan for three years."

Xu Shu nodded, "I have also heard about this matter, I heard that it was the Marquis of Lanling who knew Qianli Ma in Qianmo, and the Marquis of Wen wrote thirteen letters, and finally asked General Zhao to come out of the mountain to help." ”

"That's right, my son-in-law has the talent of Bole, that is, an unknown person, as long as he has real talent and real learning, it is all included in my son-in-law."

Lu Bu's index finger and middle finger were put together, pointing at Xu Shu, "Just like your name Xu Yuanzhi, Yunwen told me." ”

Regarding Lin Mo's ability to recognize people and things, he has also heard of it, such as Gan Xingba, such as Xu Wenxiang, such as Zhao Zilong, but Xu Shu was surprised that he was also included in the other party.

However, Xu Shu was still very confident in his talent, but he didn't understand why Lin Mo knew so many things, and he was even more curious for a while.

"Yuan Zhi, since you have chosen to stay in Ziyang Academy, you naturally have the same ambitions as us, and you hope to treat each other with sincerity in the future."

Xu Shu made a gesture at Lu Bu, "Wen Hou was a thief back then, and now he wants to save the Son of Heaven from the wolf's den. ”

This sentence alone was enough for Lin Mo to affirm his judgment, he was also a man of integrity and loyal to the Great Han.

Although the old Liu family is now a withering talent and the court is in decline, there are still many people in the world who want the Han family.

This is also the reason why Weng and his son-in-law want to teach Xu Shu a lesson.

"Yuan Zhi, let me ask you, who is the national thief today?" Lin Mo suddenly asked.

"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven internally to respect himself, and bullied the princes externally to self-prestige. Today's imperial court has long been under its obscenity, and etiquette has collapsed, Cao Cao is a national thief, why should the Marquis of Lanling ask knowingly? When Xu Shu said this, he held his head high and looked in awe.

"Yes, not entirely."

Lin Mo took two steps forward towards Xu Shu, looked at him, and said unhurriedly: "There is also a national thief, Yuan Shao." ”

Xu Shu's eyes sank slightly, and he said tentatively: "What the Marquis of Lanling said is that Yuan Shao didn't save the Son of Heaven?" ”

"At that time, the Son of Heaven had ordered all the princes to protect King Qin, and Yuan Shao could have sent a fast horse from Ye County to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to rescue, but he didn't go, is it reasonable, do you need me to explain it again?"

Regarding this matter, he talked about it with Sima Hui and Pang Tong when he was in Jingzhou, and it was almost certain that Yuan Shao was short-sighted and was busy marching into Bingzhou to swallow Gongsun Zhan's territory, otherwise, with his strength at that time, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to grab it.

One is called the emperor, the other is not under the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the two brothers of the Yuan family are also ashamed of the Han family of the fourth and third dukes.

"Yuan Shao is indeed a little ignorant about this matter, at most he has not fulfilled his ways, and he can't talk about the name of a national thief, right?" Xu Shu didn't have a good impression of Yuan Shao.

"Not at the moment, but if you think about it, a person who can see the annexation of other states and counties as more important than rescuing the Son of Heaven, if he destroys Cao Cao in the future, won't he become the second Cao Cao?"

Lin Mo's words were sharp, his eyes were burning, and he looked like a loyal minister of the imperial party, and said coldly: "There is another thing I don't know if Yuan Zhi knows, after Yuan Shu's army was defeated, he asked for help from the northern country, do you know what Yuan Shao did?" He actually chose to accept.

Yuan Shu is a person who usurped the emperor, isn't Yuan Shao's behavior rebellious? Aren't these people national thieves? ”

Xu Shu is such a smart person, of course he knows that what Lin Mo said is reasonable.

If you really want to study it carefully, he also thinks that if Yuan Shao drinks the Yellow River and wins the Central Plains, there is a high probability that he will be the emperor like Yuan Shu.

And, at that time, no one could stop him.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu arched his hand towards Lin Mo, "The meaning of the Marquis of Lanling is understood, if you want to save the Son of Heaven and clear the universe, you must first join Cao to fight against Yuan, and then destroy Cao."

I just don't know what Marquis Wen and Marquis Lanling need to do. ”

See, this is smart people, it makes sense at one point, and it doesn't need to be explained too complicatedly.

"Yuan Shao's soldiers are more generals, and the grain, grass and ordnance are inexhaustible, even if he joins forces with Cao Cao, our chances of winning are also extremely low, and, according to my estimate, he should send a team of soldiers out of Qingzhou to contain us, and then raise a large army from Jizhou to the south to attack Yanzhou.

If Cao Cao is defeated, we will naturally be cold in our lips and teeth. ”

After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lu Bu stood up directly from the handsome chair, walked up to Xu Shu and put his hands on his shoulders, and said earnestly: "Therefore, in order to return to the political emperor and to rejuvenate the Han family, we need Yuan Zhi to bend over and go to the northern country, which is the internal response." ”

Xu Shu's heart sank, although the two armies were facing each other, and the soldiers were not tired of cheating, but this kind of thing of being an undercover agent was a little difficult for Xu Shu, who had integrity in his heart, to accept.

This is why later commentaries like to say that the fraudulent surrender plan was used by Eastern Wu, Cao Wei and Shu Han, and most of the people who claim to be orthodox value integrity and will disdain it.

The second master always scolded Dongwu for being a rat, and this accounted for a large part of the reason.

Lin Mo added in a timely manner: "The people who enter the northern country this time must not only be talented, but also have the heart to endure humiliation for the Han Dynasty. ”

This is contrary to the educational concept that Xu Shu has received since childhood, but with the cooperation of Weng and his son-in-law, he is indeed shaken.

In order to save the Son of Heaven and maintain orthodoxy, what about the people in my generation who bend their knees

"I will dedicate my life to the Northland!"

After a short period of consideration, Xu Shu made a gesture towards Lu Bu and Lin Mo, and then said with some embarrassment: "But, how can you help Wen Hou defeat Yuan Shao?" ”

He thinks he has some talent, but the problem is that the people of the Northern Kingdom who want to take refuge in Yuan Shao can line up from Jizhou to Yuzhou, not to mention that even Guo Jia has done things under Yuan Shao's account.

In terms of fame and prestige, he is far inferior to Guo Jia, and he entered the north alone as a poor family, so I am afraid that he will not even be able to see him.

"You can rest assured that this section is straight, Yunwen has already arranged it for you, just waiting for you to leave."

Seeing that Xu Shu had agreed, Weng and his son-in-law were both relieved.

Can this be arranged?

Of course, Xu Shu knew that Lin Yunwen's means were all over the world, and he took advantage of the poetry meeting, and it was also because of his talent at that time that he strengthened his confidence to stay.

But he had even made arrangements for this kind of thing in advance, and Rao was as smart as Xu Shu also felt a little stunned, "Please show the Marquis of Lanling." ”

"You go to Hanoi to find Zhang Yang."

"Zhang Taishou?"

Lin Mo nodded, "If you go to the northern country, they may not look down on it, but if Zhang Taishou goes, he will have a certain status." ”

Xu Shu took a step back, it turned out that Zhang Yang was also your person

Then, his chaotic mind instantly cleared up, wonderful, Zhang Yang is too guarded, of course he will be taken seriously, at least he will do it for the world to see.

But after all, he is a martial artist, brave and unstrategic, and when he can't contact behind enemy lines, he often needs to make his own ideas, and at this time he needs a strategist to help him come up with advice.

This game of chess is not small, and Lin Yunwen's methods are still as amazing as when they first met the poetry club.

"Zhang Taishou still has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he shouldn't all be brought to the north, even if he brings them over, he will be guarded by Yuan Shao and filled into the battalions, so the Marquis of Lanling should be ready to let him enter the north as a defeated army." Xu Shu guessed along Lin Mo's train of thought.

"Yuan Zhi is very intelligent, it is true."

Lin Mo gave Xu Shu a big hat to bring, but the latter hesitated, "The last worry, the posture of the defeated army appears, with Yuan Shao's current strength, even if he accepts it, he will not be entrusted with a heavy task, how to break the situation?" ”

Lin Mo smiled, "Don't worry, I have already given Zhang Taishou the countermeasure, and when you get there, he can leave at any time." ”

Even this has been arranged, Xu Shu smiled dumbly, and arched his hand: "Admiration, admiration, Marquis Lanling said this, I want to leave for Hanoi immediately, but I want to see how your wrist allows me and Zhang Taishou to gain a firm foothold in the northern country." ”

Looking at Lin Mochengzhu's expression in his chest, Xu Shu knew that he was not pretending, but it was really difficult to grasp the proportions here.

The most basic point is that you must have enough status after the past, and if nothing else, you must be able to participate in the military at least, and this alone is extremely difficult.

In the other camp, the judges, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Xin Bi, Guo Tu, and Xu Yu are either from famous families and have profound backgrounds, or they are resourceful and have great military achievements, how can they compete with them for that position?

Secondly, it is necessary to gain enough trust, and at critical times, it is even necessary to set out important news such as grain and grass, marching routes, etc.

The most difficult point is how to ensure that he and Zhang Yang enter the Qingzhou front, instead of following Yuan Shao into the Cao front?

This point is not only difficult, but also the most critical link, if you enter the battle line of Cao, you will not be able to help Lu Bu deal with Yuan Shao at all.

You can't help Cao Cao fight Yuan Shao, right?

This thing is too difficult, Xu Shu is also a little talented when he asks himself, but he can't think of any way to do it to this extent.

However, Lin Mo didn't say it, so he didn't want to ask too much, after all, today was the first day of formal understanding, and it was very good to be entrusted with a heavy task.

It's just that the difficulty of this matter is tantamount to ascending to the sky in Xu Shu's cognition, and the more this is the case, the more the damn competitive spirit in his heart will drive himself to get the answer.

"Marquis Wen, Marquis Lanling, we will leave for Hanoi tomorrow to meet Zhang Taishou!" Compared with the confusion and suspicion at the beginning, Xu Shu is full of energy now, and he can't wait to come at dawn.

Lu Bu then said: "Yuan Zhi can go with confidence, I have sent someone to Yingchuan secretly to pick up Ling's mother." ”

Xu Shu was stunned, as a filial son who could give up his uncle Liu Bei for his mother, he was very moved.

Without waiting for him to say thank you, Lu Bu continued: "I didn't tell you just now, I didn't want you to feel threatened by me, don't worry, I will definitely treat Mother Ling with the gift of the guest." ”

Among the people who straddled the two states and held the male soldiers in his hands, Lu Bu thought about himself like this, and it penetrated his heart in an instant, Xu Shu's nose was sour, with a little choked, and he said in a deep voice: "Wen Hou rest assured, even if he is full of liver and brain, he will definitely live up to the trust, as long as he enters the Yuan camp, he will definitely be brought into the abyss of no return!" ”

"I'll wait for you to come back." Lu Bu nodded heavily.

Lin Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.

The most crucial move finally fell in the most perfect form.

Placing a strategist ceiling in the opposing camp to cooperate with you is something to look forward to when you think about it.
