Xu You was an uncertain factor, although he had tried his best to tie him to his chariot before, and predicted the direction of the overall situation.

Not to mention anything else, the surrender of Cao alone could not have happened in the Central Plains War, for the simple reason that the Battle of Guandu was advanced by two years.

Therefore, let Zhenrong bribe Xu Yu by purchasing war horses, and the money became a constraint to choke his neck at the critical time when Er Yuan was fighting for power.

In fact, it is also very smooth, not to mention anything else, at least there is no difference in the prediction of the northern country going to this piece, it was originally an excellent layout chess piece, but now, his attitude began to waver a little.

When Ma Yan was the vanguard, he had someone send a letter, specifying that Lu Bu should lead his troops to sneak attack, and even pointed out the attack point and retreat point, in order to make his position clear to Lin Mo, which could be regarded as a vote.

But who would have expected that Zhang Yang would be killed, Lu Bu insisted on doing it, and he had to kill Sima Yi.

Lin Mo is a traverser, not a god, he is just an ordinary person, with seven emotions and six desires.

He is Lu Bu's weakness, and Lu Bu is not his shortcoming, seeing him so painful, even if he takes the risk, he can only give it a go.

However, this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for Lin Mo, when he was in Anfeng, the three armies regarded him as the commander, and he also felt that he could become the commander in charge.

In fact, it's still not qualified.

He hopes that Lu Bu will not be swayed by negative emotions, and he can focus on the overall situation, and it is best to be like the generals who will go down in history.

However, after Lu Bu and Zhao Yun left, Lin Mo's own state had been in a state of unease, and he didn't dare to take risks.

It is true that there is Xu Sheng by his side, purely in terms of force and bravery, after the Siting Pillar is gone, Yuan Shang's subordinates are afraid that there will be no one who wants to kill him head-on on the battlefield.

But the problem is that in terms of reversal, breakthrough, and direct attack on the battlefield, Xu Sheng is not far behind the super-first-class generals.

This is also the key reason for Lin Mo's hesitation.

In retrospect, the smooth road in the past relied entirely on two points, the first was the prophet and the understanding of the character's character; The second is the dependence of fierce generals like Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.

However, the commander who can really take charge of himself has never only played a good situation, when Wuhou Liu came out of Qishan, he reached the point where Liao Hua was a pioneer, and it is conceivable to what extent the fierce generals are scarce.

But he still fought vigorously, and at this point, it was no longer a dimension.

After Yuan Tan left, Lin Mo calmed down and seriously considered this issue, the future and the choice.

When Lu Bu and Zhao Yun come back, of course it will be much easier, but the only certainty in life is uncertainty, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

In other words, from the day they embark on the thousand-mile pursuit, they will have to take the risk of not coming back, whether you want to accept it or not.

I can't blindly wait for an uncertain one, maybe they will delay, or even make a mistake on the way, then the date of coming back will only be delayed again and again, don't you fight?

Thinking about this truth, Lin Mo didn't plan to delay it anymore, Yuan Tan couldn't afford it because of his grain and grass, and Lin Mo actually couldn't afford it, because his layout didn't allow him to drag it anymore, otherwise the previous layout would not only be wasted, but he and his 20,000 army might also be in danger, and even the pattern of the Central Plains would change dramatically.

"Wen Xiang, do you know Wucheng?" Lin Mo looked at the sunny boy standing aside.

"A small Guo in a hundred miles north of Xiajin, less than 2,000 soldiers, no general to guard, if you need to cross the Qingshui River around more than ten dense forests and depressions, you can reach it in three days on foot." Xu Sheng spoke like a few family treasures.

This made Lin Mo a little impressed, although these days are getting along day and night, but there are not many opportunities to really talk about the use of soldiers, and today I found that he has changed so much.

Looking at Xu Sheng Lin Mo in a trance, he was no longer the nurse of Pengcheng Lin Mansion.

"How do you know that?" Lin Mo asked with interest.

"I've seen the terrain and cities around me on the map, but it's a pity that I don't have time to visit them one by one, but I've asked the guide officer, and it's pretty much the same."

Catching up with Lin Mo's suspicious gaze, Xu Sheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, "It's all taught by General Zhang." ”

Lin Mo showed a sudden expression, forgetting that he had been in Guangling for a year and a half, and he had learned a lot from Liao Shen, obviously this was a Liao God who was not limited to fiction and reality.

"If you are asked to take the city, how many soldiers and horses will be needed?" Lin Mo held his cheeks with one hand and looked at Xu Sheng obliquely.

"Three thousand, you will definitely be able to take Wucheng!" Xu Sheng patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay, allocate 500 cavalry and 2,500 foot soldiers, but you don't need to forcibly attack the city, just do the siege momentum, of course, if you have a way to take the martial city, you can also make your own decisions, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and the generals must learn to adapt on the spot."

"Don't worry, Childe!" Xu Sheng excitedly gave the order.

It's been delayed here in Xia Jin for almost a month, and he hasn't done anything, and Xu Sheng can't stand it anymore.

However, the battle he thought was just to follow Lu Bu or Zhao Yun's side to be a charging deputy general, but Lin Mo allocated 3,000 soldiers and horses to him this time, and he was completely in charge, this was the first time he led the troops alone, and for a while, only what Zhang Liao had said to him countless times came to mind.

General Zhang, rest assured, you will not be disgraced by your prestige!

In Wen County on a rainy night, the county commander, the county lieutenant and the county Cheng died violently, and the Sima family was also killed, which caused an uproar in Hanoi.

Two people can turn a Wen County upside down and almost kill the Sima family of the Kanto Wang, which is definitely explosive news.

In fact, just because of the lag in the delivery of the news, after a while, this news will only shock the thirteen states of Dahan.

Slaughtering a wealthy family, this is a terrifying existence in any place, Sun Ce just indirectly killed Lu Kang and was almost drowned in saliva, this is a bright door-to-door killing.

Is there still a royal law, is there still a law?

The most frightening thing is that there are only two people coming, which is almost a fantasy, for a time the Hanoi family is in danger, and they began to strengthen their own armaments, expand their armaments, and strengthen the night guard.

The protégés of the Sima family began to make a lot of condemnation, accusing the person who did the work of going against heaven, and the more intimate marriages or interest families began to look for the mastermind more directly.

Cao Cao was originally in Huaixian, although Miao Shang's surrender was not worthy of being appeased by Sikong himself, but he also brought 40,000 troops on this trip, and he was preparing to go north and merge with the state to make a difference.

Although the soldiers are fast, and although the military aircraft cannot be delayed, such a major event has happened, and he must personally come to Wenxian.

Fortunately, he has not completely handed over the affairs of Hanoi, otherwise such a tragedy that is almost the extinction of the family has happened in his own land, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to smoothly lead the troops to the north and merge the state without giving an explanation.

Sima Fang, who was lying on the couch, was very excited when he saw Cao Cao coming to the door, his saliva flowed down again, his right hand was raised with great difficulty, and he pointed at Cao Cao tremblingly, babbling and not knowing what he was talking about.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the real culprit and uphold justice for the Sima family." Cao Cao had an expression that I knew what you wanted to say, patted Sima Fang's hand soothingly, and symbolically said a few words of reassurance before turning away.

He asked several noble ladies and children who had survived that night, and the answers were basically the same, and there should be no mistake, but what Cao Cao didn't understand was why they were so afraid of him, as if he could eat them.

In the end, I think I must have been scared.

Subsequently, Cao Cao went to Zhang's mansion again, but failed to get any valuable clues, because that night it was Zhang Wang who ordered no one to disturb their conversation, if it weren't for his little daughter sneaking in later, I was afraid that no one would know that the three of them died in it at dawn.

The Zhang family's family members were even worse than the Sima family, they didn't even see what the people Zhang Wang brought back looked like, and they couldn't answer anything.

But there is one thing that is very interesting, Zhang Wang's youngest daughter is the size of eleven or twelve years old, but she is the only one who does not cry, and she is not afraid of people.

"This girl will definitely do something when she grows up." Cao Cao touched her head, feeling that there was a complication hidden under her eyes that should not be at this age.

Later, I inquired and learned that the city gate guards on duty that day had seen Zhang Wang take the two into the city, but they didn't look at it at all, so they couldn't draw their looks.

In the end, I can only push all this matter on Zhang Wang's head, no one knows what happened, but there is one thing you can't change, the person was brought in by you Zhang Wang, and even the Zhang family is willing to admit this.

Out of the city gate of Wen County, Xu Chu finally began to speak, "Sikong, one of the two is likely to be Zhao Yun. ”

Cao Cao, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned his head out of the window and said with a smile: "What nonsense, didn't Zhao Yun follow Lu Bu to Qingzhou at this time, can he kill people thousands of miles away?" ”

Is Zhao Yun capable of doing such a thing? The answer is yes.

But Cao Cao wouldn't believe that he could run to Wen County from thousands of miles away to kill people, whose boss used people like this, this one could accidentally bury the bones of a fierce general who was not easy to bury thousands of troops.

If you want to say that he will send an assassin, he believes it, and if you want to say that such a fierce general should be an assassin, this is absolutely unbelievable.

"I don't know."

Xu Chu squeezed out a bitter face with an embarrassed face, and then explained: "But I asked the soldiers who fled for their lives, and according to what they said, there is no difference between the body shape and weapons of Zhao Yun. ”

"That's not enough." Cao Cao waved his hand.

"There are not many people in the world today who can hold a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, and the armor-clad soldiers can't get close to them."

Of course, Xu Chu didn't want to debate with Cao Cao, but just put his conjectures together, "At the beginning, under Xiao Guan City, Zhao Yun was a green sword in his left hand and a bright silver spear in his right hand, and he couldn't kill our army.

I've checked all those broken armors, and they were indeed split by a very sharp sword, and all the wounds on the body of the soldiers were killed with one blow, and I can't think of anyone else except him. ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, at first he thought it was nonsense, but after listening to Xu Chu's analysis, he felt that it was a little bit possible.

A fierce general with a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, there is no second one in the world except Zhao Yun, this is the truth.

Although it cannot be concluded that he did it, it is at least suspicious.

But after thinking about it, he still denied it, because he had no reason to be in this place.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that Zhang Yang's death stimulated Lu Bu, and it is impossible to guess that this matter is related to Sima Yi.

Therefore, this idea was still denied by Cao Cao himself.

"And what about the other person?" Cao Cao poked his head out again and asked.

"This, I can't guess it, it's also with a gun, and listening to the soldiers, that figure doesn't look like Zhang Xiu."

After Xu Chu finished speaking, Cao Cao was completely uninterested in listening.

This is not, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun came here to kill people together, it is completely impossible.

People are dead, and there is no point in talking about what is there and what is not, Cao Cao has always been a person who is good at summarizing, and he is not interested in digging deep into who the person is, because he knows that it is in vain.

However, how the other party came, he must find out, because he can't keep it up again.

This is also the only harvest of this trip, according to the confession of the sergeant guarding the door, Zhang Wang has been going to the ferry for a few days, that is to say, the people who come are taking the river.

Xia Jin could indeed swim upstream from the Yellow River, but he still didn't think that this matter could have anything to do with Lu Bu, unless he was already crazy.

However, it is true that in the future, it is true that it is necessary to strengthen the management and protection of the river, and now that I think about it, in addition to the tax on the river, I have really never asked about the defense.

But if you have more than one mind, it is possible to avoid this tragedy.

It's a pity that Sima Yi died so badly so much.

This is the only painful thing about Cao Cao, he originally thought that he could absorb a great talent, but who would have expected such an episode.

That's it, I wouldn't have done this if I had come to vote for me, he should have ended up like this, and he couldn't complain about others.

Fortunately, this incident did not affect his own northward annexation, and Xiahoudun had already set off with his troops, and he couldn't wait any longer.

Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief and lay down in the carriage with a blanket.

Yuan Shang set up three large villages here in Xiajin, and the 150,000 troops were laid out in a zigzag shape, so that no matter which direction Yuan Tan Lu Bu wanted to attack from, he could respond to each other.

Yuan Shang, who was on the handsome chair in the big tent of the Chinese army, was lying in a posture of Ge You, very comfortable, and now he finally had a trace of the comfort of the lord of the northern country.

originally thought that this trip would be a bloody battle of life and death, and it might even be a decisive battle as soon as we met.

Because he also judged before he came, Yuan Tan's biggest advantage was to invite Lu Bu, and the biggest disadvantage was that he couldn't fight for a long time due to lack of food and grass, so this trip focused on a defensive counterattack.

Anyway, as long as the army is transferred to the front line, it is enough to let the family be strong, and let his second brother and senior cadres see the majesty of the new lord of the northern country.

Therefore, on the way here, he was trembling, and he was worried that Ma Yan would be attacked when he didn't arrive, and when he arrived, he was worried that Lu Bu and Yuan Tan would play with him.

But after a month of confrontation, I found that not only did the other side not make any big moves, but there was not even a challenge in front of the wall, and it seemed that he had put on a posture of fighting a protracted war like himself.

Of course, this is excellent, and it is right in the middle.

"My lord! The scout reported that a unit of the Lu army was found crossing the river in the upper reaches of the Qing River, and the target was Wucheng! After receiving the news, the forward general Ma Yan hurriedly ran in and bowed to Yuan Shang.

Overtime, the second one tries to get out before six o'clock
