Although Sun Ce was defeated very completely, it can be said that the foundation is about to be destroyed, but in fact, after the Huainan side experienced this war, many order restorations are best for Lin Mo to sit in it.

At present, its territory covers the seven prefectures of Xu, Qing, You, Hebei, And, Yang and Si, but the most ferocious place in the war is only the three counties of Huainan in Yangzhou.

In addition, the scholars here came out of a Liu Ye, and he only hung up the position of Taishou, and the Huainan scholars will inevitably have a sense of déjà vu that they will be raised by their mothers.

From this point of view, it is not to blame them for posing as a wall grass after Sun Ce came in.

Even now, Lin Mo's way of stabilizing the chaos in the three counties of Huainan is through the combination of letting Chen Gong sit in charge and Liu Ye as a supplement.

This is really not that Lin Mo is stingy and unwilling to give Liu Ye a fake official, if you want to blame it, blame the three mutual laws of the imperial court, Liu Ye is a relative of the emperor but he is a native of Yangzhou, and he can't fake Yangzhou Assassin History.

If you want to transfer him to other states to do assassination, Lin Mo is worried that Chen Gong has just come over, and he may not be able to fully understand the pulse of these families.

Lin Mo didn't dare to take this question lightly, after all, the scholars of the three counties of Huainan were in the same vein as the family at the end of Jiangdong, and it was clear that they still wanted to be the overlord of the land, and it was very likely that Sun Ce would be used as capital to plunder resources.

Therefore, Liu Ye can't go yet, based on this, he can only be too shou now, which is no way.

However, his marriage to Er Qiao has spread, coupled with Qiao Gong's standing in line in the Huainan War, this in-law is definitely his own person, with him and Liu Ye sitting together, Chen Gong should be able to cut off the possible tacit understanding on the north and south banks of the Jiangnan River.

In terms of soldiers and horses, 20,000 people were stationed in Anfeng, and the rest of Lin Mo was brought back to Xuzhou.

The same is true for the generals, let Yan Liangwen Chou continue to garrison in the past.

After the normal battle, the only person who was promoted was Hao Zhao, who was directly promoted from the captain to the general of Pingnan Zhonglang, which can be regarded as a three-level promotion, but no one in the army dared to have any opinions, after all, if it wasn't for Hao Zhao, Anfeng City would have been lost.

With 5,000 troops, he first supported the Jiangdong attack and then withstood Guan Yu's attack, this domineering spirit is really not something that can be done by just one person.

What's more, Lin Mo knew very well that in his plan to rebel against Huang Zu, in fact, he indirectly helped a lot, and this matter did not matter whether it was successful or not in the end, he had all the credit in it.

Therefore, in terms of rank, Hao Zhao actually became the same level as Wen Chou, and half a level higher than Yan Liang, of course, the command has to be in Wen Chou's hands.

At this point, I believe that Hao Zhao does not dare to have any ideas, in the end, his qualifications are far inferior to Yan Liangwen's ugliness.

"Ling'er, of course it's my fault that I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, but how to say it, I'm not a person who wants to see it, the situation was more urgent at that time, and I was worried that Cao Cao would take advantage of Lord Yuezhang's rebellion in Sizhou to use troops against Xuzhou, so I need to urgently attack Shucheng.

As a Confucian in Huainan and the head of a family second to none, Qiao Gong can't lure him with a famous name, and he can only become a family member to make him willing to take risks.

Moreover, this matter will be harmless to us in the long run, after all, it can be regarded as seeing hope for Huainan Shizi.

I say that, you get the idea, right? ”

Pengcheng, inside the General's Palace.

Lin Mo is like a child who did something wrong when he was a child, explaining the reason to his parents.

Whether it is nominal or in fact, Lu Bu is Lin Mo's father-in-law, an existence like a father, and Lu Lingqi is his wife, a genuine one, so this kind of thing must be agreed by them.

It's not a taboo, it's a rule.

The old father-in-law is easy to explain, he is very open to this kind of thing, Lin Mo is worried about what Lu Lingqi will think.

"Okay, I didn't say anything."

Lu Lingqi was wearing purple leather armor, and it was difficult to hide her proud figure in a strong suit, and her full breasts would not make Lin Mo tired no matter how she looked at it, she glanced at Lin Mo and said casually: "That pair of sisters also helped you when you were in a poetry meeting, I know, how does it look?" ”

"Hey, this is not nonsense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national color and a fragrance, Ling'er, have you ever heard a sentence, called Jiangnan Xiaoqiao, Hebei Zhen Miqiao"

Seeing that his wife was so generous, Lin Mo became bolder, maybe the girl who grew up on horseback didn't like red clothes and loved military clothes since she was a child, so heroic.

But before he finished speaking, he met Lu Lingqi's eyelids and sank, and immediately reacted, he coughed dryly, "Of course, if you compare it with Ling'er, it is still a little far worse after all." ”

Lu Lingqi sneered, "It's not in shape." Don't worry, it's common for men to have three wives and four concubines, so I won't be unable to see this, bring it in and I'll take a look. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, although it hasn't been a ceremony yet, but the new concubines who have entered the door have been hanging them for half an hour, so that they can know who is their day when they enter this house." Lin Mo stepped forward with a smile and hugged Lu Lingqi with a princess.

Women always say it doesn't matter, if you really want to make them happy, you have to do it.

"Then I don't think it will take half an hour, right?" Lu Lingqi pursed her lips and smiled.

"Look down on whom!" Lin Mo hugged Lu Lingqi and entered the bedroom.

I don't know if it's because of the martial arts practice since childhood, or because Lu Lingqi's maintenance skills are in place under Diao Chan's teaching, and her figure is not out of shape at all after giving birth, but it adds a bit of charm.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Mo lay on the mountain peak, panting and smiling awkwardly.

"Actually, I like the way you looked when you explained it to me just now, silly and silly."

Lu Lingqi's eyes shone with a soft light, a rare coquettish tone, and murmured: "I can't take care of you taking concubines in the future, I just hope that you can care about me like this in the future." ”

Lin Mo didn't speak, just gently dropped a kiss on her forehead.

Although three wives and four concubines are the main theme of this era, as a time-traveler, after all, he was influenced by the education of later generations, and he will always have some guilt when facing Lu Lingqi when he is a sugarcane.

"Get up, don't let people think I'm so difficult." Lu Lingqi urged with a smile.

"It's really a sensible big sister." Lin Mo was deeply moved.

Receiving this kind of thing, Lu Lingqi can be regarded as taking out the posture of the eldest sister, or maybe it is an innate aura, don't say that it is a little girl like Qiao Wan, or a woman like Qiao Ying, who is a little arrogant on weekdays, she can't help but have some stage fright when she sees it.

Lin Mo could only wait in the courtyard, and he couldn't get involved in the rules or anything according to etiquette.

"Yunwen, Yunwen!" Outside, Gao Shun ran in quickly.

"Why is Uncle Gao here? But Xiao Guan has an enemy? When he saw Gao Shun, Lin Mo was subconsciously a little worried.

"No, it is reported that Cao Hong, who was originally stationed in Xiangxian County, suddenly withdrew, Xu was evacuated in batches at night, and I only received the news now, but I didn't dare to rush into the army, so I came back to discuss with you."

After Gao Shun finished speaking, he added, "Oh yes, Mr. Yuan Zhi said that Cao Cao's war was unfavorable on the Sizhou side, and now he is shrinking his forces, once Cao Cao's army is defeated, he will immediately abandon the Central Plains and retreat to Jingzhou and Yizhou in order to get up." ”

Hearing this, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something was wrong, looking at it this way, it was good news.

"At this time, the shrinkage of troops may indeed be at a critical juncture, when Cao Cao chose to go to Sizhou, he was already betting on the two states of the Central Plains, and if he lost, he could still go more simply."

"Then do we need to move the line forward and station it in the county?" Gao Shun asked.

"Let me think about it." Lin Mo slowly got up and walked out of the pavilion, and the snowflakes fell on his big cloud.

In fact, the question of whether the army line is moving forward is not critical at all, if Cao Cao is really defeated and has to withdraw, there are so many passes along the way, it is obviously impossible to chase and kill all the way, and when you pull out these areas, I am afraid that people will run away.

can do the pursuit, except for Sizhou, there is only the old yin left, but with his character, it is estimated that he will not dare to rush into the army, and there is no need for him to act at the risk of posing a trap to lure the enemy.

The most critical part of this matter is that if Cao Cao is really defeated, should he snatch back the Son of Heaven Liu Xie on the road at all costs, which is also the only action that did not defeat Cao Cao but had a chance to recapture the Son of Heaven.

On this issue, Lin Mo actually has some dilemmas.

Over the years, I have long been accustomed to the fact that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but with the disappearance of one force after another, the role of the Son of Heaven is actually weakening.

Of course, Liu Xie's pole is still the most appealing, not to mention anything else, the role of the Son of Heaven is absolutely irreplaceable in suppressing the family and attracting talents.

The problem is that Lin Mo hasn't really figured out where his future is.

The current Son of Heaven has been controlled by Cao Cao for many years, and it is unrealistic to say that he is not blackened, and it is estimated that he will no longer trust all the warlord forces in the world.

Then there will be a problem of self-treatment here, of course, the Son of Heaven can greatly suppress Cao Cao, the question is whether to return to the Son of Heaven after taking him back, or to control the government like Cao Cao?

The old father-in-law is Hanchen in his bones, and the most domineering thing he says is nothing more than to lead the world's soldiers and horses, isn't that the position of the general, so let him be Cao Cao, he may not be willing, at least Weng has never discussed this issue between Weng and his son-in-law.

Because he is Cao Cao's second, what will he do in the future, do you learn from Cao Pi to abolish the emperor, don't dare to say anything else, the old father-in-law will definitely not agree to this.

If he is a son of heaven, no one knows what kind of person Liu Xie will become after all these years of humiliation.

The so-called loyal ministers of the imperial party, if they calculated at that time, Lin Mo was not even sure that there would be civil strife in the foundation he had worked so hard to manage.

After all, there are still more people who are towards the orthodox Han family in their hearts.

Others don't say it, Chen Gong, Xu Shu, Lu Su, these teams, and the generals of the ten departments in Guanzhong, are definitely devoted to Liu Xie, not to mention the families of all parties.

Even Zhao Yun, Lin Mo didn't dare to guarantee whether he would support it.

Of course, Lin Mo is not without a way to counterbalance this drawback, and he can even cultivate a strength that is absolutely loyal to himself to replace some people who are unwilling to surrender.

The problem is that such a big action must be approved by the old father-in-law and the son-in-law must work together, otherwise something will happen.

usurping the Han, to be honest, Lin Mo never thought about it, and being an emperor may not necessarily be so comfortable;

But if you want to talk about Fu Han, the old Liu family's traditional bird is hidden with a bow, even if it is the work of Kuang Fu Sheji, after Liu Xie really takes power, the biggest threat is Lu Lin's son-in-law, who said that he can tolerate Lin Mo or not.

What to do then, and then seize power? Isn't that redundant?

In the long run, I still have to find a way to get Liu Xie back first, and as for the follow-up, I still have to find a suitable opportunity to discuss with my old father-in-law.

If the negotiation is not proper, then you can only ask the old yin and Zhen Rong to come back, these two people are tied together, and they can do something.

"Uncle Gao, you take people to Qian County, remember, march slowly, advance with Xiang County as the edge, it doesn't matter how much territory you recover, as long as you make Cao Jun panic." Lin Mo settled down and said.

Gao Shun nodded, "This is easy to do, when the time comes, every time you go to the next city, you will first change the defense, the speed will be much slower, but the victory is stable enough." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Gao."

"Then I'll go first."

After a short exchange, the two didn't say too much, originally Gao Shun was a stuffy jar, but a person like him who doesn't drink said that it must be a stable batch.

After Gao Shun left, Lin Mo immediately asked people to pass Zhao Yun over.

"Yunwen, what's so urgent?" Zhao Yun, who had just come from the academy, got straight to the point.

"I'm sorry Zilong, I originally promised you to accompany your sister-in-law well, but now there is one thing you can only do." Lin Mo poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Yun and said earnestly.

"Do you need to be polite between you and me, say it." Zhao Yun was simply there.

"Take the wolf and ride back to Huainan."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun instinctively frowned, "Didn't you just come back?" ”

"Go to Anfeng."

"What are you going to do in Anfeng?"

"Save the Son of Heaven back."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, Zhao Yun first took a deep breath, and then said in surprise: "This day is in Xuchang, even if Cao Cao's army is defeated, I will have to chase after Anfeng thousands of miles away."

What's more, there are so many passes along the way, I'm afraid that cavalry alone won't work. ”

Lin Mo chuckled and nodded, "This time, it is indeed a thousand-mile attack, but I have a way to let you pass through these areas, and when the time comes, let Yan Liangwen Chou follow you to act." ”

Afterwards, Lin Mo took Zhao Yun into the hall, where there was a sand table and a map, and made strategic deployments.

"This kind of thing is big or small, how can he agree?" After listening to Lin Mo's plan, Zhao Yun was a little speechless.

"I don't know, let's try."

Lin Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But I think it should be fine." ”

After pondering for a while, Zhao Yun nodded dryly, "Nacheng, I'll go to put on armor and order troops now." ”

"There's no need to rush it."

Lin Mo was still a little guilty, as if Zhao Yun hadn't stopped since following him, "There's still plenty of time, you can go to the academy to say goodbye to your sister-in-law first, and set off in two days." ”

Zhao Yun scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not your sister-in-law yet." ”

"It's not a matter of time or time, okay, I won't bother you, remember the route and plan."

After Lin Mo finished instructing, Zhao Yun arched his hand, "Don't worry, as long as they really appear, I will definitely be able to succeed." ”

After Zhao Yun left, Lin Mo immediately wrote two letters and handed them to the sergeant.

After doing all this, Lin Mo let out a breath of turbidity, this action can be regarded as a direct decision on the future of himself and his old father-in-law, and even the question of whether he can die well, which seems to make him nervous for no reason more than before.

In fact, it seems that it is too early to do all this now, because the current arrangements are based on the premise of Cao Cao's defeat in Sizhou.

But so far, the only news that Lin Mo knows is that Cao Jun's front battle will be killed by his old father-in-law, and then Cao Cao will set up an ice city to form a confrontation.

No way, the communication in this era is too broken.

Even so, Cao Cao can shrink his forces, and the war on the other side of Sizhou is in a disadvantageous state.

According to the time calculation, in two months, the ice city will melt, so the results of the battle should come out during this time.

In the ice city outside Tongguan City, Cao Cao frowned and paced back and forth, the uneasiness on his face permeating wantonly.

"According to the calculation of time, Uncle Zhi and they should have succeeded a long time ago, why didn't Zhong Xuan's people report for a long time."

The original plan was that Chen Zhi would enter Chang'an City to take over the defense after he succeeded, and then Zhong Xuan sent someone to inform him, the advantage of this was that he was worried that once Chen Zhi missed, he would not be calculated.

But until now, Zhong Xuan's people have not come to inform him, which means that something went wrong halfway.

The previous battle was defeated, Cao Cao did not panic, and after the camp was killed, there was an ice city, and he still did not panic.

However, Zhong Xuan's people didn't come for a long time, and he was really panicked.

Because no matter whether Chen Zhi can succeed or not, even if the sneak attack on the grain and grass camp fails, Zhong Xuan should also get the news to tell him.

Now, there is probably only one possibility, either Chen Zhi missed, or Zhong Xuan was exposed.

Either way, you'll be in a desperate situation.

Even if Chen Zhi burned the grain and grass, if he couldn't seize Chang'an City with Zhong Xuan's cooperation, Lu Bu could still retreat back and continue to wait for help to rest.

Fa Zheng himself understands this truth, so his expression is not better than Cao Cao's.

"Xiaozhi, tell the truth, what do you think in your heart." Cao Cao, who sat back in the handsome chair, lowered his head and asked in a mournful voice.

"Sikong, there is no news for so long after the time is later than expected, and it is estimated that they may indeed have missed."

Fa Zheng swallowed his saliva, he also wanted to know what was going on at the end of the pass, he was so calculating, it was also a serial plan, and he even took into account that the unstable factor of the Ma family was likely to trigger the conflict between Lu Bu and Pang Tong.

One is a strategist who has just surrendered to the past from the ten subordinates of Guanzhong, and the other is a self-righteous and suspicious master, Pang Tong sees through the discord and tries to persuade him, and then Lu Bu becomes suspicious and suspicious, which is reasonable.

In the end, the camp was moved to transfer food, and then the defenders were transferred away by the power of the discord plan, so as to succeed in one blow.

Fa Zheng really didn't understand what went wrong.

However, instinctively, he knew that the current Cao Jun was in extreme danger.

After all, once the ice city melts, they will be exposed to Lu Bu's cavalry, and half of these 70,000 people who fled all the way east will not be able to return.

"Do you want to withdraw?" Cao Cao lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, but his voice was obviously mournful.

"Sikong, send scouts to investigate, if Chang'an City is no longer in sight, then we must withdraw immediately, withdraw now, there is still a way to retreat." Fa Zheng let out a long sigh.

He wanted to show his skills in Xuzhou, but he touched a nose of dust here in Sizhou.

In the end, it's still a little hasty, but life is like this, and what is the one thing that gives you enough time to prepare.

When the unexpected comes, it is never announced in advance.

Cao Cao didn't speak, just looked at Fa Zheng deeply, and remembered that sentence in his mind for no reason, if Feng Xiao is here, why should I be like this.

Finally, nod your head heavily.
