Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

238 Chapter 237 Lu Bu is dead, Lin Mo is defeated

In fact, the aristocratic families are all scumbags individually, including the Yuan family itself, which is not an unshakable mountain.

The problem is that the interests of aristocratic families are often the same. Under this background, it is easy for them to form a group. The 70 army in the North Kingdom is essentially a derivative of the aristocratic group.

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

Yuan Shao used the Henan people to counter the Hebei family, and Cao Cao used the clan power to counter the Yingchuan family. Once the balance was broken and they were able to form a group, a situation like Jingzhou would appear, and the princes and overlords could be emptied.

Lin Mo's original idea was not to change the status quo of the Northern Kingdom, and use the Henan people to counter the Hebei family, but he forgot one point, that is, the representatives of the Hebei family, Tian Feng, Jushou, Pang Ji, etc., have all become dead bones.

In this context, the Qinghe Cui family and the Zhaojun Li family became the new leaders, and Lin Mo failed to win them over in time. It may also be that they still look down on Lu Bu's background. In short, the road is getting further and further away now.

Therefore, Lin Mo urgently needs to use a new method to achieve a new balance. It is best to suppress them and at the same time use it for me.

This sounds like a paradox of polar opposites and the Arabian Nights, but after thinking about it for a while, Lin Mo really found a good solution.

"Two peaches kill three scholars, of course it is excellent, but how can you summon all the great families to Yecheng, and now some people even start to disobey Yuan Shang's order."

Lu Bu pursed his lips and shook his head after hearing this, "The reason for the poetry meeting at the beginning was because the big families didn't know what medicine you sold in your gourd, and they all wanted to make a name for themselves, but now they are deliberately alienating us as if they had made an agreement. I see this hanging in the balance."

Lin Mo leaned against the beams of the gazebo and chuckled, "If you want two peaches to kill three men, you have to see if your peaches are attractive enough."

"How many eunuch positions should you set aside?" Lu Bu tentatively looked at Lin Mo.

"This kind of method is too clumsy. They are not so easy to be fooled. Besides, there is a faint alliance between the major families, and the positions of a few prefects can't shake their determination."

Lin Mo walked to the stone table under the gazebo, sat in front of Lu Bu and poured a cup of tea, "At this time, you either don't make a move, or if you make a move, it must be a huge profit that will make these people flock to it, or even enough to change their family. The stuff of fate."

"Change the fate of the family?"

Lu Bu couldn't help but sneered, "You're a little out of breath, do you have this thing?"

"Of course there is."

Lin Mo shrugged, and said indifferently: "Master Yuezhang can just wait and see, I have already asked Ruo Rong to let the news out, and when the time comes, which aristocratic family can resist coming, I really admire him."

"I have always been at ease in your work."

Lu Bu didn't want to delve into it. He was not interested in these things at all, so he held his teacup and twirled with a smile: "Actually, as you know, there is nothing more reliable than a marriage. If we can marry the Cui family of Qinghe or the Li family of Zhaojun Marriage, their alliance must be divided."

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

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

Jane, you are serious.

Seeing that the old father-in-law really didn't look like he was joking, Lin Mo shook his head seriously, and said helplessly: "Just think about it, there is no need to take action."

Lu Bu also sneered, "Don't ask yourself to be humiliated, right? What's so great about these rotten scholars."

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

The question is, are you worthy?
Speaking of marriage, the aristocratic families in Xuzhou and Huainan may indeed be thinking about marriage now that they see Lu Bu growing up, but in the North Kingdom, this is almost impossible.

Weng and his son-in-law have already heard about this group of guys’ attitude towards Lu Bu’s son-in-law. One is a refugee from Pengcheng and the other is a refugee from Bingzhou. Willing to talk to you.

This is really not a joke. Since ancient times, there have been many righteous men in Yanzhao, and Shandong, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, of course values ​​a gift the most.

Their rites are not polite rites, they are class rites, and it is a shame for them to want to marry their family as a refugee.

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

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, I'm going to go to the Taihang Mountains." Lu Bu stretched his muscles and bones, looking very excited.

"Hit Zhang Yan?"

Lu Bu nodded, "He promised Wei Yue that he would give a reply in three months, and the time was about to come, and our people came back and reported that they had no sign of moving out, so you dare to perfunctory me, because there is no land. Get angry!"

"Yuan Shao hasn't been able to defeat Yuan Shao for so many years. I'm afraid he won't be so easy to deal with." Of course, Lin Mo knew that this guy was perfunctory. When Wei Yue came back and talked about his attitude, Lin Mo knew it.

"That depends on who hits."

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

"I believe it."

Lin Mo nodded confidently. After all, the old father-in-law once pressed Zhang Yan to rub against the ground, "Our son-in-law doesn't even look down on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so why be afraid of mere Zhang Yan.

However, it is still useful for me to keep him, Mr. Yuezhang, please hold your hand high. "

Lu Bu, who sat down again, lost his spirits, and now he lost his last punching bag. He lightly beat his temples with both fists, "Since I came to this northern country, I don't feel as happy as when I was in Xuzhou. Now I feel like I'm trapped in Once here, there is no way to go to Anfeng to see Wenyuan, and there is no way to take action against these flamboyant Xiaoxiao."

"Master Yue Zhang, please be more patient. Governing the mountains and rivers is a very boring thing. Besides, whether it is Jiang Yiqu of Liyang, the family of the North Kingdom, or Zhang Yan and Yuan Xi, all these need to be treated with caution. could be the shock that upends our hold on the Northland."

"clear."

Lu Bu tilted his head, "It's just a few casual complaints. I also know that you are working hard these days. I just want to go back to Xuzhou."

"Why don't you ask someone to pick up my little lady?" Lin Mo joked.

"Then your mother-in-law will probably make a fuss and come here together, there's no need for that."

I felt sorry for my mother-in-law for 1 minute, but was turned away by my old father-in-law.

There is no way, men are big pigs.

If there are new dishes now, it is estimated that the old father-in-law may not want to miss Xiaoniang.

It's a pity, the young lady looks too juicy, even though she's over thirty, she's still graceful, bright and charming, even Linger's age group can't compare to her.

As for Anfeng's battle, it's not a big defeat, but it's a fact that the army was lost, and they didn't know whether Zhang Liao was dead or not, so the ambush in the last battle was not considered a meritorious service.

After Cao Cao learned about the situation, in a rage, he named Xiahou Dun as General Jianwu, led the governor of Bingzhou, and asked him to go to Bingzhou to guard the border.

Later generations commented on the often defeated generals as saying that they never won battles and never stopped being promoted.

In fact, there is Cao Cao's helplessness here. Xiahou Dun's defeat is a defeat. Naturally, there are people in the army who are more capable than him. It can even be said that Xu Huang and Zhang Yun's generals are not inferior to Xiahou Dun.

The problem is, they are not clansmen. With the expansion of the territory, you always need someone to take care of it. Xiahoudun is going to Bingzhou to defend the border. He must be justified.

"I'm probably clear about what happened before and after, so I don't blame you for this matter."

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 there are such capable people under Lu Bu. It is really not easy for you to fight wits with him in Anfeng."

"It's my fault that I failed to win Anfeng and let Zhang Liao run away." Guo Jia was still very ashamed.

"I said, I don't blame you. I know Yuan Rang's temperament, just like Miao Cai, sometimes he is too confident."

Cao Cao walked in front with his hands behind his back, with a very happy expression on his face, obviously in a good mood, he stopped after walking two steps, "By the way, I have some good news for you."

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

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia who was silent in Gujing with some surprise, "How do you know?"

The alliance between Yuan Xi and Lu Bu was the choice Cao Cao made after he won Bingzhou. Guo Jia was still in Anfeng at the time, so it seemed a little bit unpredictable.

"After winning Jizhou and Qingzhou, Yuan Xi should make plans for his own life even if he has no ambition." OK.

"Actually, Lin Mo should really want to take Youzhou quickly, but unfortunately, those aristocratic families in the Northern Kingdom have made him burn out."

Cao Cao smiled proudly: "He thought that if he captured Yuan Shang, he would be able to stabilize the entire Northern Kingdom. Does he really think that the Yuan family can compare with the royal family?"

He told Guo Jia the news himself, 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 did it make you depressed."

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

In the previous confrontations with Lu Bu, he suffered a disadvantage, and Guo Jia also participated in it, but he still couldn't compete with Lin Mo.

During the Guandu battle, Lin Mo's few tips directly pulled the distance between the two of them out of the clouds and mud, which almost cast a shadow on this young man who was as proud as the scorching sun.

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of Lv Bu and Lin Mo's trip to the Northern Kingdom, to make a difference and pay back, but who would have thought that a hidden genius would appear out of nowhere.

After switching from Yuan Shao's command, he has no talent but has never been able to make achievements, and it is inevitable that he has depression in his heart.

But Cao Cao's love for him was not reduced by half because Guo Jia failed to make achievements. He attributed these failures to God's will.

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

After going out the door, he turned seven turns and came to a mansion garden. The two of them went in and stayed there for more than half an hour.

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

"Well, I'm not wrong, am I?" Cao Cao laughed loudly, seeing 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, smiled dryly and shook his head: "That's not so exaggerated, but it's not difficult to earn them tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Now that they have absorbed Yuan Shao's foundation, their strength is already ahead of ours." up."

Cao Cao sighed, "We really need a big victory."

"Sikong, I'm sorry to say that judging from the past battles, we have not been able to win the battle of soldiers and generals. Even if we earn tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is still unknown who will die in the end."

Guo Jia collected himself, and said solemnly: "But sometimes to win, you don't necessarily have to use swords and weapons. I have a plan to make Lu Lin turn against each other. No matter who loses the other of these two, they will be defeated!"

"Divorce?"

Cao Cao paused, his eyes blurred, "I'm afraid it won't work, their relationship is extraordinary, and Lin Mo is very smart."

"There will always be some traces of ordinary divorce schemes. I also believe that if you want to hide Lin Mo, a great talent like Lin Mo, I'm afraid you 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 it's a trap, he can only jump into it."

"What do you mean by that, tell me quickly!" Cao Cao moved his buttocks when he saw Guo Jiacheng's chest.

After Guo Jia confided the plan in his heart, Cao Cao was stunned, staring straight at Guo Jia, even though the carriage was shaking, he couldn't recover.

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

Until Guo Jia couldn't help but asked, "What do you think Sikong thinks?"

Cao Cao finally let go of his clenched white fists, and said softly: "I thought this person might be useful, but I don't know that Feng Xiao can be used here, Lu Bu is dead, Lin Mo is defeated! "

Cao Cao almost uttered the last eight words through gritted teeth, his hands trembling with excitement.

He could never have imagined that Guo Jia would come up with such a clever plan so soon after meeting someone, and this blow was exactly on the fate of the two of them.

No matter how friendly their husband and son-in-law are, even if they are sympathetic to father and son, it will not work. Once this plan is successful, it is only a matter of time before the two turn against each other.

With only one person, even without the need for weapons, the Lv Lin Army was smashed to pieces and smashed to pieces. This move is really ruthless.

"I'm not worried about anything else. The only thing I'm worried about is that Cui Yan is backed by Qinghe's Cui family. The Cui family is in full swing in the North Kingdom. Even when Yuan Shang was alive, he was still afraid of them."

Cao Cao couldn't help straightening up, holding Guo Jia's hand, and said excitedly: "The Cui family may not obey the emperor's edict!"

"It's okay."

Guo Jia smiled confidently, "Both Guang Luxun, Chi Chi and Cui Yan once worshiped under Zheng Xuan's school, and they were classmates with him. I will go find him later and teach him how to persuade Cui Yan face to face."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Xi Xi is just a small character, but he still has such a relationship, so Cao Cao doesn't mind going to the door in person.

If necessary, it is also possible to have Liu Xie together.

"There's no need for Sikong. Xixi has a good relationship with this subordinate. I know that he is righteous, and he will definitely be willing to go to the North Kingdom for Sikong."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and made a bow directly to Guo Jia, who was so frightened that Guo Jia quickly supported him.

"Sikong has never repaid his great kindness, so I dare not accept this great gift."

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