"Yunwen, who is the woman in your house just now?"

There is still a way to go to the banquet parlor, Zhao Yun inquired casually.

"Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji, the daughter of Cai Yong in the service, has just been redeemed from the Xiongnu tribe."

Lin Moquan should satisfy Zhao Yun's gossip psychology, and gave a brief introduction to Cai Yan's general situation, including the purpose of redeeming her back.

The look in Zhao Yun's eyes changed from bright to sad at first, and finally became as gloomy as Cai Yan.

He didn't expect Cai Yan to be from a famous family, but he had such a tragic experience, and he was in a mixed mood for a while, and Zhao Yun didn't even know why he was affected by a girl who had only met once.

"Yunwen, apart from asking her to help you stabilize Ziyang Academy, do you have any other ideas?"

Lin Mo's eyes rolled and shook his head, "I didn't expect it for the time being, it's hard to say now, let's take one step at a time." ”

Cai Yan, as a talented woman, has the reputation of the great Confucian Cai Yong, and her influence cannot be underestimated, and she may be able to make other arrangements in the future, but she has not thought about it yet.

Zhao Yun sighed, "Yunwen, I think she has a rough time, it's best not to let her get involved in the power struggle." ”

Hearing this, Lin Mo stopped and looked at Zhao Yun playfully, "What, do you know her?" ”

Zhao Yunne shook his head, "It's just that I feel for her life experience." ”

"Whether she will be drawn into a power struggle depends on who says it." Lin Mo smiled, in this troubled world, wolf smoke is everywhere, it can't be said that Cai Yan's experience is not bitter, but Zhao Yun, who has seen the cruelty of the battlefield, must know that there are many people in this world who are bleaker than her.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hmm"

Lin Mo showed a meaningful smile, "If you are just sentimental about her situation, then I advise you to be nosy; If you're asking me in the name of my brother, then I'll have to weigh it. ”

Zhao Yun's face was red when he was teased, and he knew that Lin Mo was not enough to play tricks, so he immediately urged: "Wen Hou is still waiting, go faster." ”

Inside the banquet room.

Xin Bi was treated as a guest and sat in the chief position, and he was accompanied by Chen Gong, the governor of Xuzhou, Jia Xu, the Taishou of the East China Sea, Gao Shun and Wei Yue, and Lu Bu, the lord of these two states, who gave enough face.

Even Xin Bi had five tripods and four tripods in front of him, which was the specification of more than 2,000 stone dignitaries in the imperial court, even in the northern country, Xin Bi did not enjoy this kind of treatment, and he was a little fluttering for a while.

Of course, he hadn't drifted away enough to forget the purpose of his trip.

After enjoying the song and dance, Simpi started his performance.

first touted Lu Bu, what a pillar of the Han Dynasty and a pillar of the South Heaven, he was ordered to kill Dong Zhuo's Han Room to survive.

Then, he said that after Yuan Shao's death, there were riots of varying degrees in various states and counties in the north, and even there was a situation of internal fragmentation, and now the new master Yuan Shang was about to attack Yuan Tan, so bad that he couldn't look at it directly.

Why does it seem to outsiders that although the northern country is a little chaotic, it can be so calm on the whole? Isn't it because of our Xin family brothers who are struggling to maintain it?

If it weren't for our Xin family brothers, Yuan Shang would have attacked Yuan Tan a long time ago, and there are forces in several counties in Jizhou that are ready to move, and it is also for the sake of our face that they have been restrained.

As for Yuan Tan's life and death, he never mentioned it.

This made Lu Bu a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't say the prepared lines.

Chen Gong and Jia Xu are like mirrors, this product is raising its own value, the family's usual means, and the interests of the master can only line up behind the interests of the family.

"I have long heard that the brothers of the Xin family are the twin masters of the northern country, and if this is the case, if the original brother had reused Mr. earlier, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago, come on, I will toast you." Lu Bu was a little impatient when he heard it, and he almost opened his mouth to ask for help.

Even Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head, why don't you take advantage of the wind and soar to 90,000 miles.

Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Xin Bi's face was flushed, he was already a little drunk, and finally began to cut to the topic.

"Wen Hou, now that the chaos in the north is about to break out, could it be that Wen Hou doesn't plan to take action?"

Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong and Jia Xu, and then said with a smile: "I have already stated in the letter that if the virtuous nephew needs my help, I should do my best." ”

"Not really."

Xin Lian waved his hand again and again, "Yuan Tan Lian's position as the son of the world can't be kept, how can he keep the land of the thirty-five counties of the four states in the north, for the tens of millions of Li people in the north, so what the Han Sheji thinks, I think that Wen Hou can completely replace him!" ”

"Oh yes, my Xin family is willing to stabilize the states and counties for Wenhou." At the end, Simbi did not forget to add.

These remarks directly scared Chen Gong and Jia Xu stupidly, weren't you sent by Yuan Tan to ask for help, how could you sell him after changing hands, is it really fake?

Long before Xin Bi came, Lu Bu had thought of all kinds of polite words, but he didn't expect that he would be speechless and endless, and he suddenly felt a little suspicious in his heart.

You can't be tempting me, are you?

This is not good, Yunwen has laid such a heavenly situation for me, if I show covetousness for the northern country at this time, he will go back and report it, where will Yuan Tan dare to invite me to Qingzhou?

With the thought in his mind, Lu Bu suddenly slapped the case, got up suddenly, and glared at Xin Bi angrily, "I am willing to help show that the virtuous nephew respects him as a human being, and you think I am a wolf with ambition?" Today, if you are drunk and talk nonsense, don't care, if there are any more lies, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Xin Bi was also stunned when he heard this. Everyone in the world knows that you Lu Fengxian is greedy for profit, how could you have such a great righteousness, why did you rob Liu Bei's Xuzhou in the first place, is he not enough to stand up to the sky?

I understand, I am an outsider, he does not trust me enough, and at this time I must take a stand so that I can leave a way out in the future.

So, Xin Bi got up directly from his seat and walked to the middle of the hall, held his head high and said: "What I said today, every word comes from the bottom of my heart, and it is really invited by the people of the four states to seek fame and fortune, if Wen Hou does not allow it, please kill me!" ”

Hiss~

In order to test that I can do this, okay, I can't let you underestimate it, Lu Bu shouted, "Left and right, drag it out, and hit the forty boards!" ”

"Whoa!"

So, Xin Bi was pulled out in a state of bewilderment, and until the sergeant raised the stick, he still felt that Lu Bu was tempting, until there was a heart-rending pain in his buttocks, and he finally realized that he seemed to have misjudged the other party.

Lin Mo, who had just arrived, heard Xin Bi screaming again and again before he entered the door.

"Stop!"

Lin Mo hurriedly stopped the executing sergeant, "What happened, why did you punish the guests of the northern country?" ”

I won't be a little late for you guys, don't make trouble.

Then, Lu Bu walked out and explained the general situation.

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, this can't be blamed on Chen Gong and Jia Xu for not seeing the problem, you just play this trick when you come up, who knows what you want to do.

If Lin Mo hadn't clearly known that in history, he had sold Yuan Tan as soon as he saw Cao Cao, and he would probably agree to give him a beating.

At this point, Lin Mo could only hurriedly help Xin Bi to the side hall and explained softly, "Sir, it is Lin Mo below, there are many people in the banquet living room, my father-in-law has to do it as a last resort, in fact, it hits Mr. and hurts in my father-in-law's heart." ”

Look at it, this is a bit artistic, and we don't say that we just want to eat the northern country, but the suggestiveness has been given to the extreme.

Xin Bi probably realized that he did seem to have gone a little too far, lying on the cushion, grinning in pain, and gasping: "The Marquis of Lanling should have arrived earlier!" ”

"It's been delayed, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Mo bowed with a smile.

The next negotiation was with Lin Mo as the spokesperson, and the old father-in-law stood aside, just nodding or shaking his head when he expressed his position.

No wonder the elder brother would say that Lu Bu was obedient to Lin Mo, or careless.

However, with this layer of confirmation, it is much easier to talk.

Everyone doesn't say it thoroughly, but they have expressed their position openly and secretly, no matter when, your Xin family is a great hero, and you can put your heart in your stomach.

As for going north to Qingzhou, we have to go, but we have our difficulties.

For example, you have to provide food and grass, right?

For example, the most scarce war horse now, Zhenrong has not come back, and the entire Xuzhou is full of five hundred war horses, and Zhang Liao's five hundred war horses are counted, and there are no more than two thousand horses, how can they fight?

As for the other ordnance problems, it is not too big, that is, the armor is relatively scarce, and it is reasonable to bring some iron ore over, right?

Then the old father-in-law understood that the original negotiation was to be discussed like this, although Xin Bi couldn't call the shots on many things, but Lu Bu also knew in his heart that Yuan Tan was now meat on the chopping board, and he could cut it as he wanted.

Grain and grass were supplied until the end of the war, with 3,000 horses and 20,000 stone of iron ore. In the end, Lu Bu suddenly found that Lin Mo's asking price exceeded his expectation of adding more than 10,000 prisoners of war with Wen Chou, and his heart was too dark.

In the end, Xin Bi lay on the mat and said in a deep voice: "The requirements of the Marquis of Lanling are a bit high, and now in a corner of Qingzhou, I am afraid that it may not be able to be supplied, but I will persuade Yuan Tan with my brother when I go back, don't worry." ”

That's sort of. Promised?

Lu Bu didn't dare to think, my God, the war hasn't started yet, and my strength will skyrocket first?

It's a pity that Simbi can't make a decision, and it's still unknown whether all this is a painted cake.

"Yunwen, your price is a bit ruthless, I'm worried that Yuan Tan may not be able to accept it." After walking out of the side hall, Lu Bu complained helplessly.

"Don't worry, Lord Yue, Yuan Shang's knife is about to hit Yuan Tan's neck, so he can't help but agree."

Lin Mo smiled and turned his head to look at the side hall, "What's more, at this time, the asking price is high, and Yuan Tan will be more convinced that we just want to fight the autumn wind, rather than the northern country." ”

Lu Bu thought about it again, it seemed to be right, he was not a good person, Yuan Tan would not be stupid enough to think that Lu Fengxian was an easy person, the higher the asking price, the more comfortable he was.

"Hahaha, you still think people's hearts thoroughly enough." Lu Bu stretched his waist relaxedly, and finally made up for the injustice of the Central Plains War in his heart.

It's not that Yunwen doesn't want it, all the transactions are secretly marked at the price, and this big drama is really beautiful.

"By the way, how many people are we going to go by then?" This question Lu Bu has a bit of a headache.

After the Great War in the Central Plains, excluding the garrisons of Guangling and Lujiang, there were only more than 40,000 active troops, although a group of strong men had recently been recruited, and the total was only 60,000 people, and there were too many new soldiers, and the combat strength did not come up.

If Yuan Shao hadn't died, he would have dared to swagger and take him forty or fifty thousand people to Qingzhou, because Cao Cao would be jealous.

The same problem, Yuan Shao does not die, and he has no chance to go north, and Cao Cao will also covet the north because of Yuan Shao's death.

But if he goes less, will Yuan Tan believe in himself?

There is a dilemma here.

"Twenty thousand, but we all have to go north."

"Twenty thousand? Less, right? Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo in some surprise.

"Xuzhou is our foundation, we must not be threatened, not only to leave 40,000 people, but also to be elite, fortunately, Yan Liangwen and ugly are here, and the pressure on the generals will not be too great."

Lin Mo analyzed slowly, and then continued: "Besides, fewer people are less, it depends on how you use it, Yuan Tan himself has an army of 100,000, together, it's almost there." ”

"If you go to such a few people, aren't you afraid that we may not be able to get out of the way after we succeed?"

This question impressed Lin Mo, and the old father-in-law finally began to think about the coach.

He smiled and said, "Master Yue, don't worry, these little sons-in-law have already been arranged. And reinforcements. ”

"Reinforcements?"

Lu Bu thought about it for a while, but didn't think that there would be reinforcements jumping out of the army, so he shook his head and said, "Don't play dumb riddles, say it quickly." ”

When Lu Bu was pulling Lin Mo to prevent him from leaving, a sergeant ran over, "Report, Wen Hou, Zhenrong's letter." ”

"Rong?"

Lu Bu frowned, took a look, and then was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and looked at Lin Mo with a dry laugh, "This is your reinforcements?" ”

"What, isn't he worthy?"

Seeing Lin Mo smiling so calmly, he knew that his guess was correct, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I have to be glad that I didn't kill him with a halberd at the beginning, after all these years, I almost forgot about him, and you let Zhen Rong go to him."

Although I don't look down on him, if he sincerely helps, it will indeed be a reinforcement from heaven. ”

"This time and that time."

Lin Mo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, this game of chess in the north country can be regarded as a painstaking management, and it took more than a year, and it can come in handy after all.

"He's going to Youzhou? Also looking for reinforcements? Lu Bu glanced at the end of the letter, and didn't think that Youzhou could pull out anyone who could use it.

"Youzhou is not so important, just in case."

Lin Mo said this, Lu Bu didn't care anymore, and said with a smile: "This is enough, you can leave 40,000 elite soldiers for Xuzhou, in the final analysis, as long as they stabilize Xiaoguan, Xuzhou will not be chaotic, and when the time comes, they will have to stay with Wenhe, Yuanzhi, and Boping." ”

Lin Mo bowed slightly, his eyebrows were a little tight, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Guan is important here, I don't know if the south will be normal once we leave." ”

"You mean Sun Ce?"

Lu Bu laughed loudly, "He was killed by me and Wen Yuan in Guangling and fled, I guess it will be difficult to ease this breath in the past few years." ”

"Lord Yuezhang forgot, Cao Jun can also march to Anfeng from Runan, once Anfeng is lost, Lujiang Jiujiang will change hands in an instant."

It can't be helped, this is that when the territory is bigger, the points that need to be defended will also increase.

Lu Bu scratched his head and said in a muffled voice: "Indeed, it seems that the deployment of this soldier and horse still has to be pondered. ”

If you lose an Anfeng, if you lose Jiujiang and Lujiang, the loss will be beyond Lu Bu's ability to bear.

Although An Fengwen has Chen Deng, and Wu has Cao Xing, Song Xian and Cheng Lian, but to block the iron hooves of Cao's army, I am afraid that it is necessary to send some more soldiers and horses.

There's also a chapter that was given in the afternoon, sorry
