In fact, the family is all scum when it comes out, including the Yuan family itself, which is not an unshakable mountain.

The problem is that the interests of the family are often the same, and in this context, it is easy for them to huddle, and the 700,000 troops in the north are essentially derivatives of the family's huddle.

Therefore, to deal with these families, the usual method used by the princes is the art of balance.

Yuan Shao used Henan people to confront the Hebei family, and Cao Cao used the power of the clan to contend with the Yingchuan family.

Lin Mo's original idea was not to change the original state of the northern kingdom and use Henan people to contend with the Hebei family, but he forgot one point, that is, the representatives of the Hebei family, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Xiao Ji, have all become dry bones in the grave.

In this context, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Zhaojun Li clan have become the new leaders, and Lin Mo failed to win them over in time, or it may be that they still look down on Lu Bu's background, in short, the road is getting farther and farther now.

Therefore, Lin Mo urgently needs to use a new means to achieve a new balance, preferably to suppress them and at the same time be of use to me.

This sounds like a paradox of the Arabian Nights, but after thinking about it for a few days, it really made Lin Mo find a good way.

"Of course, it's excellent for two peaches to kill three soldiers, but what way can you summon the major families to Yecheng, and now there are some people who don't even follow Yuan Shang's orders."

After hearing this, Lu Bu pouted and shook his head, "The original poetry meeting was because the major families didn't know what medicine you sold in the gourd, and they all wanted to make a reputation, but now they are deliberately alienating us as if they have discussed it, I think this matter hangs in the balance." ”

Lin Mo leaned on the pillar beam of the pavilion and chuckled, "If you want two peaches to kill three soldiers, you have to see if your peaches are attractive enough." ”

"How many guards are there?" Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo tentatively.

"This method is too clumsy, how can they be so easily fooled, besides, the major families have a faint alliance potential, and a few too guarded positions can't shake their determination."

Lin Mo walked to the stone table under the pavilion, sat down in front of Lu Bu and poured himself a cup of tea, "At this time, either you don't make a move, and if you make a move, it must be a huge profit that makes these people rush, or even something that is enough to change the fate of their family." ”

"Change the fate of the family?"

Lu Bu couldn't help but sneer, "This breath is a bit big, do you have this thing?" ”

"Absolutely."

Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Lord Yue, just wait and see, I have already let Zhenrong let out the wind, when the time comes, which family can bear it, I really admire him." ”

"I've always been relieved of your work."

Lu Bu didn't want to delve into it, he wasn't interested in these things in the first place, but instead pinched the teacup and whirled and smiled: "Actually, you know, nothing is more reliable than marriage, if we can marry the Qinghe Cui clan or the Zhaojun Li clan, their alliance will inevitably split." ”

"Marriage? Are you or me? Lin Moquan was joking with his old father-in-law.

"It doesn't matter, it's fine, as long as the goal can be achieved, I don't mind."

Ah Zhen, you're really here.

Seeing that the old father-in-law really didn't look like a joke, Lin Mocai shook his head seriously, and said helplessly: "Just think about it, there's no need to put it into action." ”

Lu Bu also sneered, "Don't humiliate yourself, right, what's the big deal about this group of rotten Confucians." ”

In this era, marriage is of course the most stable way to form an alliance of interests, there are often marriages between families and families, and princes will also marry in order to win over the family, not to mention, the marriage between Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi is actually a political marriage between the Yuan family and the Zhen family.

The question is, are you worthy?

If you want to talk about marriage, the families in Xuzhou and Huainan regions, now seeing that Lu Bu is getting bigger, may indeed have the idea of marriage, but in the north, this is almost impossible.

This group of guys now looks at Lu Bu Weng's attitude and the two of them have already heard of it, one is a Pengcheng homeless and the other is a Bingzhou homeless, they are all guys who can't get on the stage, it's just that they were lucky and kidnapped Yuan Shang, otherwise we wouldn't even want to talk to you.

This is really not a joke, since ancient times, Yan and Zhao have many righteous people, and Shandong, as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, of course, values a gift the most.

Their etiquette is not a polite etiquette, this is a class etiquette, and it is a shame for them to want to marry their family as a homeless person.

Think about it, even Li Er, who became the emperor, was disgusted when he wanted to marry his daughter to the Qinghe Cui family, and finally refused, these guys have a high vision.

"Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy things, I'm going to go to Taihang Mountain." Lu Bu stretched his muscles and bones, looking very excited.

"Hit Zhang Yan?"

Lu Bu nodded, "What he promised Wei Yue was to give a reply in three months, seeing that the time was about to come, our people came back to report that they didn't have the slightest trace of moving out, dare to perfunctory me, just out of breath!" ”

"Yuan Shao has been fighting for so many years and has not been able to defeat it, but I am afraid that it is not so easy to deal with." Of course, Lin Mo had already known that this guy was perfunctory, and when Wei Yue came back to talk about his attitude, Lin Mo was clear.

"It depends on who fights."

Lu Bu smiled, "The soldiers led by Yuan Shao are not much stronger than the bandits. ”

"I believe that."

Lin Mo nodded confidently, after all, the old father-in-law had pressed Zhang Yan to the ground and rubbed it, "Our son-in-law doesn't even look at Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the like, so why not be afraid of Zhang Yan."

However, if I keep him, it will still have a little effect, so Lord Yuezhang will raise his noble hand. ”

Lu Buyi, who sat down again, didn't even have the last punching bag, and gently beat his temples with his fists, "Since I came to this northern country, I feel that I am not as happy as when I was in Xuzhou, and now I feel like I am trapped here, and I can't go to Anfeng to see Wenyuan, and I can't make a move on these small people who are dancing with teeth and claws." ”

"Lord Yue, please be more patient, governing mountains and rivers is a very boring thing, besides, whether it is Jiang Yiqu in Liyang, the family in the north, or Zhang Yan and Yuan Xi, these need to be treated with caution, and if you are not careful, it is likely to become an impact that subverts our control of the north."

"Understood."

Lu Bu tilted his head, "Just complain a few words casually, I also know that you are working hard these days, I just, I want to go back to Xuzhou." ”

"Why don't you bring the little lady here?" Lin Mo quipped.

"Then your mother-in-law will probably come over with her, so there's no need for that."

I felt sorry for my mother-in-law for a minute, but I was disgusted by my old father-in-law.

No way, men are big pigs' trotters.

If there are new dishes now, it is estimated that the old father-in-law will not want to be a little girl.

It's a pity, the little lady is too smart, although she is over thirty, she is still graceful, bright and moving, even if she is Ling'er's age, she is no better than her.

As for Anfeng's battle, it is not a big defeat, but the loss of troops will be a fact, and they don't know whether Zhang Liao died or not, so the ambush in the last battle is not a meritorious achievement.

After Cao Cao understood the situation, in a fit of anger, he crowned Xiahoudun as the general of Jianwu, led the history of the state assassination, and asked him to go to the border of the state.

Later generations evaluated the often defeated generals as having never won a war and never stopped being promoted.

In fact, there is Cao Cao's helplessness here, Xiahou is defeated, and there are naturally more capable people in the army, and it can even be said that Xu Huang and Zhang He's generals are not under Xiahou.

The problem is, they are not clan relatives, with the expansion of the territory, you always need someone to take care of it, Xiahoudun wants to go to the border of the state, always have to be justified, and you can't give a history of merging the state.

"I probably know everything before and after, and I don't blame you for this."

Cao Cao took his beloved Guo Jia for a walk in the back garden, and said with emotion: "It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Bu still has such a capable person, and it is really not easy for you to fight wits with him in Anfeng." ”

"Failing to take Anfeng and letting Zhang Liao run away is the fault of the next." Guo Jia was still very ashamed, he swore an oath before going out, but in the end he returned in vain, and he felt that he had lived up to Cao Cao's kindness.

"I said, I don't blame you. I know Yuan Rang's temperament, and it's the same as Miaocai, sometimes I'm too confident. ”

Cao Cao walked in front with his hands on his back, the expression on his face was very pleasant, obviously he was in a good mood, he took two steps and suddenly stopped, "By the way, let me tell you a few good news." ”

"Yuan Xi has agreed to fight against Lu Bu with the Sikong Alliance."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia who was a little surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Alliance Yuan Xi against Lu Bu was a choice made by Cao Cao after taking the state, and Guo Jia was still in Anfeng at the time, which was a little unpredictable.

"After taking the two states of Hebei and Qingdao, Yuan Xi should plan for his own life even if he has no ambition." It is not difficult to guess at this point, Guo Jia is not happy about this, and is obviously still annoyed by An Feng's trip.

"Actually, Lin Mo should really want to take Youzhou quickly, but it's a pity, now the group of families in the north has made him anxious."

Cao Cao smiled quite proudly: "He thought that if he took Yuan Shang, he would be able to stabilize the entire northern kingdom, can the Yuan family really compare with the royal family?" ”

He told Guo Jia these news, and seeing that he still didn't smile, and didn't even take a sip of wine, Cao Cao frowned, "It's just a defeat, why don't you make your will depressed." ”

In fact, Cao Cao understood Guo Jia's suffering.

In the previous confrontations with Lu Bu, he suffered losses, and Guo Jia was also involved, but he still couldn't compete with Lin Mo.

During the battle of Guandu, Lin Mo directly pulled the distance between the two out of the clouds, making this young man who was as proud as the scorching sun almost fall into the shadows.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Lu Bu and Lin Mo to go to the northern country, to make a difference, and to return the color, who would have thought that he would kill a hidden wizard in the sky.

After switching from Yuan Shao's command, he was talented but had never been able to make contributions, and it was inevitable that he would have a knot in his heart.

But Cao Cao's love for him was not reduced by half a point because of Guo Jia's failure to make contributions, and he attributed these failures to providence.

"Okay, I'll take you to meet two people, and after you meet, you will definitely be excited." Cao Cao pretended to smile mysteriously and led the somewhat confused Guo Jia out of Sikong Mansion.

went out of the door, turned around and came to a mansion, and the two of them stayed for more than half an hour.

When he came out again, Guo Jia was indeed smiling, and he was shaking a vermilion wine gourd in his hand, and his eyes were bright.

"Well, I'm not wrong." Cao Cao laughed loudly, and saw that Guo Jia was happy, as if he could finally be happy.

"This time, Lu Bulinmo may be doomed." Guo Jia's eyes flashed with excitement.

In the carriage, Cao Cao sat on the deerskin cushion, shook his head with a dry laugh and said: "That's not so exaggerated, but it's not difficult to earn tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now they have absorbed Yuan Shao's foundation, and the troops are already above us." ”

Cao Cao sighed, "We need a big victory so badly. ”

"Sikong, with all due respect, judging from the past battles, we have not been able to win in terms of fighting soldiers and generals, that is, we have earned tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is still unknown who will die in the end."

Guo Jia calmed down and said solemnly: "But sometimes to win, you don't necessarily have to use swords, there is a plan under you, you will be able to make Lu Lin fight evil, no matter who loses the two, they will be defeated!" ”

"Dissensive?"

Cao Cao paused, his eyes were confused, "I'm afraid it won't work, their relationship is extraordinary, and Lin Mo is very wise." ”

"There will always be some traces of ordinary discord schemes, and I also believe that if I want to hide from Lin Mo and other heroes, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Guo Jia shook the wine gourd in his hand and said in a deep voice: "But there are some things, even if he knows that it is a trap, he can only jump into it." ”

"What do you mean by that, say it quickly!" Seeing Guo Jiacheng's appearance of bamboo in his chest, Cao Cao moved his buttocks.

After Guo Jia explained the plan in his heart, Cao Cao was stunned, looked at Guo Jia directly, and couldn't come back to his senses even if the carriage swayed.

Even, the carriage stopped at the gate of Sikong Mansion, and Cao Cao was still in shock.

Until Guo Jia couldn't help but ask, "What does Sikong think?" ”

Cao Cao finally slowly let go of his clenched white fist, and said softly: "I thought that this person might come in handy, but I didn't know that Feng Xiao could be used here, Lu Bu was dead, and Lin Mo was defeated!" ”

The last eight words, Cao Cao almost gritted his teeth and said them, and his hands were trembling with excitement.

He couldn't have imagined that Guo Jia could think of such a clever plan so quickly after meeting people, and this blow hit the two of them.

Even if their son-in-law is friendly, even if they are in love with father and son, it will not work, once this plan is successful, it is only a matter of time before the two become enemies.

With only one person, he didn't even need a sword soldier to disintegrate and shatter the Lu Lin legion, this move was really ruthless.

"I'm not worried about anything else, the only thing I'm not worried about is that behind Cui Yan is the Qinghe Cui family, the Cui family is in the north of the country, even if Yuan Shang is not dead, he is afraid of them."

Cao Cao couldn't help but straighten up, held Guo Jia's hand, and said excitedly: "The Cui family may not listen to the edict of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"It doesn't matter."

Guo Jia smiled confidently, "Guanglu Xun Xi and Cui Yan both worshiped under Zheng Xuan's door and had a friendship with him, so I will look for him later and teach him how to persuade Cui Yan in person." ”

"Do you need me to come along?" Xi Xi is just a small character, but he still has this kind of relationship, so Cao Cao doesn't mind coming to the door in person.

If necessary, it's okay to let Liu Xie go with you.

"No need to Sikong, Xi Xian has a good relationship with Zaixia, I know that with great righteousness, he will definitely be willing to go to the north for Sikong."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and made a gesture directly at Guo Jia, and the frightened Guo Jia hurriedly held it.

"Sikong has never repaid the great kindness, and he does not dare to accept this great gift."

Cao Cao didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." ”
