"Yunwen, tell me how the pioneer general will decide this time." Lu Bu raised his forehead at Lin Mo, and at the same time hinted with his eyes that he chose Wei Xu, so that Weng and his son-in-law would not have disagreements on this kind of matter.

These words naturally made all the Wenchen generals focus their attention on Lin Mo.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mo still decided to follow his heart.

This team is no longer the same team as it was two years ago, and he is not a strategist, and even every sergeant in the army, Lin Mo treats it with his heart, and he can't joke with the lives of the soldiers.

"General Gao is the vanguard, Zilong is the deputy general, leading 10,000 troops, and set off to Linqu Xiazhai after 15 days." After Lin Mo finished speaking, there was silence in the council hall, and everyone could see that Lu Bu was obviously hinting just now, so that Gao Shun and Zhao Yun were stunned in place.

"Need me to repeat it, don't you?" Lin Mo straightened his waist and asked in a deep voice.

"Command!" Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, who had reacted, hurriedly came out of the queue to make a move.

Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo, and then at the group of old teammates, their smiles stopped abruptly, obviously, they were all a little unconvinced, with complicated expressions on their faces, and the eyes looking at Lin Mo were also a little weird.

In the end, it was Wei Xu who stood up and said earnestly: "Yunwen, I know that Zilong saved you, but our old brothers also followed Wen Hou from the blood of Guanzhong, so we can't favor one over the other."

Peping and Zilong have fought several times, so this time let our old brothers take the responsibility of the vanguard lieutenant. ”

In the council hall, Zhang Liao and Wei Xu have the deepest relationship with Lu Bu, after all, they are both fellow villagers in the state, and Wei Xu is Lu Bu's relatives inside and outside, and he also talks like an elder.

It's nothing on weekdays, and if you let it go, you will let it go, but in the battle of survival, how can Lin Mo let it, he was patient, and squeezed out a smile, "Uncle Wei's lesson is that I will remember it in the future, but under the military order just now, it is not good to change the order overnight." Lin Mo, who has long ceased to be the main bookkeeper, worshiped the Marquis of Lanling, and at the same time, his military rank was also changed to the superintendent, saying that it was a military order, but it was not an exaggeration.

"What's the day?"

Wei Xu smiled dryly, and said seriously as if jokingly: "Isn't this gone, if you haven't received the military order, you should give your uncle a face, we old bones, no one will have an opinion." ”

Behind him, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng all smiled and said yes.

You're forcing the palace. Jia Xu glanced at it and hurriedly lowered his head, don't bother me.

Lin Mo frowned, and could only look at Lu Bu, but found that Lu Bu was also hesitant.

In his heart, he felt that he owed something to this group of old brothers, because Wei Xu was telling the truth, without this group of old brothers who followed him in the bloody battle, he was afraid that there would be no prosperity today.

In the past two years, their official positions have not changed much, on the other hand, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng and other newcomers have been advancing all the way, and they have even been treated well by demoting the general, and it is indeed not too much to give a pioneer official position.

In fact, Lin Mo had long expected that the old and old factions would collide, but he never expected it to be at such a critical juncture.

If this is on weekdays, it can still be reconciled slowly, but now, if it is not dealt with by thunderous means, this place will become the second Yuan Ying.

The old father-in-law can't make up his mind, so I'll come.

He stepped forward, looked at Wei Xu, and said in a sonorous voice: "The military order has been issued, and it cannot be changed overnight." ”

Wei Xu was stunned, and angrily stretched out his trembling finger and pointed at Lin Mo, "Do you still recognize me as an uncle?" ”

"There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there is only law and discipline in the army."

These words made Wei Xu's old face red, and the faces of the people behind him were also ugly, after all, they were all brothers on weekdays, although they called Lu Bu Wenhou on their faces, they also regarded them as robes in their hearts, so they could come to this point firmly.

Now that Lin Mo said this, it seems that the love in his heart has been denied, and there is a desolate feeling of being abandoned.

"Marquis Lanling is young in the end, in the past, Marquis Wen treated us and his brothers in a robe and treated each other, but now it is like this, it is chilling."

"Mo Feilanling Marquis thinks that we are all old and decrepit, and I can't compare to the people you brought into the barracks, right?"

"If you want to talk about the law and discipline in this army, it seems that the Marquis of Lanling also seems to be suspected of nepotism."

For a while, there was some surging sentiment in the council hall, and it was not until Lu Bu slapped the case that the sound of thunder stopped the hustle and bustle.

He stood up and walked in front of everyone, first giving him a cold look, and this glance alone made everyone including Wei Xu bow their heads.

Lu Bu's eyes are really not something that ordinary people dare to look at directly.

Then he laughed dryly and looked at Lin Mo, "Yunwen, in fact, the most important thing in this battle is our Chinese army, and the vanguard is just to open the way to the village in the final analysis, and generally won't do it, and there will be no problem if they let them go, change it?" ”

Lin Mo also smiled back, and arched his hand: "This is easy to do, in fact, Lord Yuezhang only needs to change one person, then this pioneer and deputy general can be replaced." ”

"For whom?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.

"Overseer."

"Oh, that's okay, just change it" Lu Bu, who reacted, was immediately stunned, aren't you the prison army, what about messing with me? It's impossible for anyone to change you Lin Yunwen.

This kid is not like this in plain life, I think there is something else to meaning, otherwise I can't even refute my face.

The corners of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but scold Wei Xu angrily in his heart, okay, what are you doing to provoke Yunwen, now it's okay, let's be embarrassed together.

"Yunwen, you are too disrespectful, don't be incoherent all the time, otherwise you will suffer a big loss in the future!" Wei Xu looks very much like those relatives and elders who complained to their parents in later generations, and took out the appearance of me beating you for your good.

"It's not that the prison army can't be replaced, I'll look for a candidate later."

Of course, Lu Bu got off the donkey, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian were happy, the young boy didn't understand the feelings of the army in the army, or Wen Hou felt sorry for us.

Even Jia Xu, Chen Gong and the others frowned, squinting at the pair of Weng sons-in-law, is this going to make trouble in the council hall?

Yunwen, it shouldn't be like this, he is your father-in-law, and he is also Lu Bu, the commander of the three armies, how can he accept such a rebuttal behavior.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ease the relationship, Lu Buyi said in a righteous manner: "But before changing the prison army, first act according to the military orders of the prison army, Gao Shun is the vanguard, Zhao Yun is the deputy general, lead 10,000 troops, and rush to Linqu Xiazhai in 15 days!" ”

The corners of Wei Xu's mouth outlined a touch of disdain, and just wanted to teach a few more words, only then did he react to what Lu Bu said, and immediately said, "Wen Hou? ”

"If you dare to dissenter, you will be dealt with by military law!" Lu Bu turned his back to them and shouted.

"Whoa!" Seeing that Lu Bu was real, of course no one dared to have anything to say, and Wei Xu could only bow his head honestly.

"The rest of the people went back to the camp to prepare, and after the autumn harvest, they rushed to Linqu to fight to the death with Yuan Tan!"

"Yes!"

When everyone retreated, they were all confused.

Jia Xu twisted his beard and shook his head, Wen Hou's tolerance for Yunwen was a little outrageous, and he thought that there would be a farce that would be difficult to end.

Looking at Wen Hou's eyes just now, it is clear that he is protecting his shortcomings, and a family is a family.

But it's good that there is someone who can persuade him, otherwise according to this kind of temperament, no matter how great the foundation is, it will be ruined in his hands.

From this point of view, Lin Yunwen is the real person in charge of this team, and Jia Xu feels that his Donghai Taishou can sit very steadily.

It wasn't until only this pair of Weng sons-in-law were left in the council hall that Lu Bu sighed helplessly, "Yunwen, if you do this, they will think that our Weng and son-in-law will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and they will not be able to accommodate the heroes of the past." ”

"Lord Yue, I have said many times that those in charge of the army are most taboo to have distant relatives, I have a clear conscience about this, I don't need them, it's because they don't have that ability."

If history doesn't change, Song Xian was killed by Yan Liang in three rounds, and Wei Xu was even more stabbed in seconds, what did he fight? At this level, you are still a pioneer?

Lin Mo shook his head and continued: "Moreover, several of them have an air of arrogance, as if the Northern Army is made of mud, Lord Yue, don't forget, we are facing three times the number of enemies, the other party has excellent equipment and chariots and heavy cavalry that we don't have, if we are not careful, we will lose everything!" ”

Seeing Lin Mo's rare seriousness, Lu Bu realized that the matter was indeed more serious than he imagined, and said softly: "Is it really so dangerous? ”

"I don't have any certainty of victory over the Northland." Lin Mo said what was in his heart very frankly.

This is not Lin Mo's modesty, it is an army of 200,000, no matter how brave the military general is, he will be as small as an ant in it.

Moreover, the euphorbia, the first to the camp, the eight thousand cavalry with a distinction of light and heavy, plus a few hundred chariots, to put it mildly, this is a one-sided crushing.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're saying this for the first time."

Looking at the melancholy on Lin Mo's face, Lu Bu couldn't laugh anymore, and slowly bowed his head and said, "I understand what you mean." ”

"However, whether they are brothers who were born and died with me, we still have to find a way to settle them properly in the future." At the end, Lu Bu added again.

"Let's talk about the northern kingdom after the war." Placement, Lin Mo has no opinion, even if the old father-in-law does not resettle, he has to resettle them, after all, in a situation like today, one time is enough, and there cannot be a second time.

Frankly speaking, these people do have military exploits and can lead troops to fight, but the breath of veteran oil on their bodies is too heavy, and they will not be able to look at the rising stars of the new generation.

The friction between the old and the new factions is really indispensable everywhere.

This matter, that is, I was caught in the middle, and the old father-in-law could tolerate it, and if it was replaced by Chen Gong, it was estimated that it would not be so easy to handle, no wonder he would be so close to these veterans, just for fear that something like this would happen today.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

The armies of all parties are in full preparation, Yuan Tan took 150,000 troops from here, but the number of troops invested in the frontal battlefield is still 400,000.

For 400,000 people, it takes more than half a day just to give orders, and it takes more than half a month to assemble, assemble and then set off.

Yuan Shao, who had already finalized the route of the march, was ready to take White Horse City first.

White Horse City is the front line of the Cao army south of the Yellow River, holding the vital route of the northern army to the south, and it is impossible to march into the Central Plains without taking White Horse City.

Therefore, Yuan Shao was ready to surprise and attack him unprepared.

The army is going south after the autumn harvest, but the vanguard is not, and it is necessary to take the White Horse City before Cao Cao can react.

"Lord, although General Yan Liang is a brave champion of the three armies, he is not strategic, and he cannot be sent as a vanguard, so I suggest that you choose one of the two of Zhang He or Gao Lan."

As soon as he heard that Yuan Shao was going to send Yan Liang to attack White Horse City, he immediately took the initiative to persuade him.

But right now, Yan Liang has already gone to order the army, how can Yuan Shao agree to wave his hand indifferently and say: "Gong and too worried, I have sent people to monitor White Horse City for a month, and the Cao army has not increased its troops, Liu Yan in the city is only 4,000 soldiers and horses, and Yan Liang led an army of 20,000 to attack, how can it be unreasonable?" ”

In Yuan Shao's view, this is not a thing to consider at all.

"Lord, I don't worry about Yan Liang conquering White Horse City, the problem is that White Horse City is less than two hundred miles away from Xuchang, Cao Cao can come to the city if he wants to rush to the aid in two days, and our army still has half a month to send troops, and I am worried that Yan Liang may not be able to defend the arrival of our army!"

Prudence is a good thing, but if you are too restrained, Yuan Shao will lose patience.

Recently, he has received many secret letters from Xuchang officials, all of which are flattering and betraying the military situation, in Yuan Shao's view, this is almost a battle without suspense, and there is no need to be too cautious.

Therefore, he naturally couldn't listen to the words of frustration, Yuan Shao, who was standing under the pavilion, threw out the fish material in his hand, looked at the group of fish surging up and grabbing food, and said with a smile: "This is wrong, if Cao Cao dares to come to the rescue, our cavalry can also arrive in White Horse City within three days, what's the matter, do you think Yan Liang will not be able to hold on for three days?" ”

In the northern country, Yan Liangwen and Chou are all known as the three armies of Yongguan, and their martial arts are not inferior to Lu Bu's existence.

And between the two, they often put Yan Liang in front by default, which gives people a preconceived impression that Yan Liang is the first person in the 700,000 army in the northern country.

Coupled with 20,000 elite soldiers, it is ridiculous to say that they will be deflated in White Horse City.

"My lord."

"You stand down first." Without waiting for more frustration, Yuan Shao had already issued an order to expel the guest.

With Tian Feng's previous experience, Fu Zhu estimated that no matter how insistent he was, he would inevitably eat the Yuan family's specialties and 'fork out', so he could only sigh and shake his head and leave.

Liyang is north of the Yellow River, Baima is south of the Yellow River, and the two cities are the strategic frontiers of Yuan and Cao, guarding the passage of the Yellow River.

At this time, Yan Liang, who was wearing dark armor with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and green tendons and knots on his arms, led 20,000 troops out of Liyang City and marched towards the Yellow River crossing.

The most dangerous time is when the army has not yet landed across the river, so it is often necessary to send a few teams of men and horses to do the outpost work in advance to ensure that there is no possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack.

It was relatively easy for foot soldiers to cross the river, but it was the cavalry that was a little troublesome, and they had to be divided between men and horses, which led to several more transportations.

However, since there were no heavy horses, no building carts and other siege equipment, half a day was enough time for them to reach the opposite bank.

"Brothers, take White Horse City, have enough wine and meat, kill Liu Yan, and the official will be promoted to one level!" Yan Liang, who was on the back of a tiger, raised the golden-backed knife in his hand and shouted, and the northern army rushed towards White Horse City one by one like chicken blood.

More than ten miles away, in the blink of an eye, it has been killed.

The four gates of White Horse City were closed, and the Cao army on the city gate looked at each other, pointing at the Northern Army that was surging and gathering like a tide, and the cowardice of war jumped on his face.

This is very good, it seems that there is no need to attack the city, the corners of Yan Liang's mouth rose quite proudly.

"Listen to Cao Jun in the city, I am Yan Liang, the general of Jizhou, and those who open the city will not die, otherwise, the city will be captured, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"
