"Joke!"

Lu Bu leaned back on his chair and laughed loudly.

Use Liu Bei to attack me?

This sounds to Lu Bu as if someone told him to stab him with Fang Tian's painted halberd.

"Do you know that if I hadn't...if Marquis Wen hadn't shot the halberd at the gate, Liu Bei would have become a withered bone in the grave. How dare he have any different intentions?"

What made Lu Bu most proud of in his life was shooting a halberd at the gate, earning Yuan Shu 200,000 stones of food and grass, and selling it to Liu Bei as a huge life-saving favor.

Liu Bei would only guard the door for him wholeheartedly, how could he attack him?

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law would like to ask, who was the lord of Xuzhou before Lu Bu arrived?"

Ah this...

It seems to be Liu Bei.

He knew that Lin Mo was reminding him not to forget that Xuzhou was snatched from Liu Bei's hands after all. No matter how good he was in shooting halberds at the gate, he would never be able to make Liu Bei miss him.

Lu Bu was speechless for a moment, and could only sip his tea awkwardly, and then said unwillingly: "Even so, Liu Bei is unlikely to defect to Cao Cao!

Who knows that Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou a few years ago and massacred the three counties of Dongguan, Langya, and Donghai. The people of Xuzhou hated him to the bone. Liu Bei claimed to love the people, so how could he join Cao Cao?"

From this perspective, it is indeed unlikely that Liu Bei would defect to Cao Cao.

In fact, even without this reason, Liu Bei himself is ambitious, and it is unlikely that he would defect to anyone if he was not at the end of his rope.

Lin Mo picked up the burning kettle beside him to add water to Lu Bu, and said leisurely:

"Master Yue-Zhang, what I just said is that Cao Cao can use Liu Bei, but I did not say that Liu Bei would defect to Cao Cao."

"What's the difference?" Lu Bu asked suspiciously.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mo felt that his father-in-law was not a very smart man, so he turned around and walked to the table beside him, picked up a dry brush, dipped some ink in it, and started writing quickly.

Not long after, he handed a bamboo slip with the content written on it to Lu Bu, "Master Yue Zhang, what do you think would happen if Lu Bu found this letter from a suspicious merchant?"

There are only a few strokes, and the content is very simple. Lu Bu has taken my city and bullied me too much. I am willing to surrender to Duke Cao. I ask Duke Cao to send troops quickly and we will attack Xuzhou together.

Even though he saw the letter written by Lin Mo with his own eyes, Lu Bu's heart could not stop trembling and his eyes sunk slightly.

He did not explain, but he knew in his heart that if the letter was found from a suspicious vendor as Lin Mo said, then Liu Bei's death would be near.

He will lead an army to attack Xiaopei. Once Liu Bei is lost as gatekeeper, Cao Cao's army will be able to march straight in.

This stratagem is really clever.

"Marquis Wen may not be able to see through it, but don't forget that Chen Gong and Chen Deng are beside him. Both of them are resourceful and may not be able to hide from them." Lu Bu twitched the corner of his mouth in dissatisfaction.

"My father-in-law thinks highly of them."

Lin Mo could see that although 'Zhang Xing' refused to admit defeat, he actually agreed with it in his heart. It seemed that the purpose of showing his saint in front of others was achieved, so he simply relaxed and sat directly next to Lu Bu.

"Chen Gongtai is wise but slow, and he may not be able to see the mystery for a while; Chen Yuanlong is different from what he looks like, and he only thinks about the future of the Chen family, so how can he sincerely advise Lu Bu?

To put it bluntly, even if the two of them see through it, do you think Lu Bu, with his headstrong character, will listen to them?"

Lu Bu's heart tightened, as if his head had been hit hard.

The words are not pleasant, but there is no flaw in every word.

Yes, if this letter is "accidentally" discovered by me, whoever tries to persuade him will definitely think that he is secretly communicating with Liu Bei.

Unexpectedly, the city of Xuzhou, which he claimed to be impregnable, was destroyed with just a letter from this guy.

Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo blankly, this kid is not simple.

Come to think of it, Lingqi has been very ambitious since she was little, so how could an ordinary person win her heart?

It's a pity that he is a lowly person. If there are some sects that can help me, I may not be able to help him.

It is undeniable that Lin Mo gained Lu Bu's favor after a conversation, but in the end it was not enough to make him let go.

Lu Bu stood up, walked around the hall twice and looked at Lin Mo, "You are quite talented. What are your plans for the future?"

This trick of appearing holy in front of others is really useful.

After seeing that his future father-in-law's attitude had changed drastically, Lin Mo stopped holding on and immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"I hope that my father-in-law can recommend me to be a filial and honest official. If I can improve my connections, it would be best to go to Xuchang to serve."

"You want to defect to Cao Cao?" Lu Bu's eyes flashed sharply.

"Right now, Cao Cao is our best choice." Lin Mo, who didn't catch Lu Bu's unhappy expression, discussed the matter.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart. After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Lin Mo playfully and said, "Fortunately, you are in Xuzhou at the moment. If you were in Cao Ying, based on the plan just now, Xuzhou would really be in trouble."

A small nuisance."

"That's really not me and my father-in-law bragging."

Lin Mo, who became more and more relaxed as we chatted, walked over and whispered: "If Cao Cao is willing to listen to me, Lu Bu, I can use more than a dozen different methods to make him break the city."

After the manifestation was successful, Lin Mo felt that it was okay to be exaggerated. If he was not given more confidence, how could he be willing to invest in himself in the future?

Lu Bu had a dark face and said nothing. His heart, which had finally calmed down, was rippled.

Is my majestic Lu Bu so miserable?

He wanted to shout loudly, hold up Lin Mo, and tell him word for word, I am Lu Bu, what do you want!

But if he is really a talented person, then not only will Xuzhou be able to survive, but he will also have a promising future.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu walked to the door and turned his back to Lin Mo, "Let me think twice about this matter. Even if I want to be a filial piety for you, I have to go back to Wen County. I have to stay in Xuzhou for some days. Let's talk about it then."

."

Lu Bu, who could not make up his mind for a while, decided to let it go for now.

At present, I still often encounter various troubles and problems, and I just use these problems to test Lin Mo.

If he was really a genius, he wouldn't be able to escape if Lingqi tied him up.

"Farewell to my father-in-law."

It wasn't until Lu Bu left the other courtyard that Lin Mo took a deep breath.

Even if things haven't happened yet, the plan just now is the best one. He can be so calm.

I originally thought that after this contact, 'Zhang Xing' would happily take him back to Wen County, and then use his family's heritage to cultivate himself.

After all, as a son-in-law, I will be successful in the future, which will also be of great benefit to the Zhang family.

I didn’t expect that he would continue to test.

Lin Mo stretched his waist. No matter what, he had finally taken this first step, which was much better than being chased around.

Moreover, in addition to the Battle of Xuzhou, there are also the Battle of Guandu, the Jade Belt Edict, and the Battle of Chibi. There are many opportunities to earn meritorious deeds, and Lin Mo is not in a hurry.

After gathering his divergent thoughts, he walked towards the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, picked up the knife on the side, and started polishing and carving a piece of wood.
