After the strategy of how to fight was decided, everyone dispersed. People need to prepare food and grass when it is time to prepare food and grass, and people also need to arrange troops and generals.

Although Lin Mo has not officially paid a visit to Lu Lingqi, he still lives with Lu Bu in the general's mansion. Naturally, he stayed in the mansion after the military discussion.

Lu Bu, who was in a good mood, took Lin Mo to the pavilion in the courtyard to have a few drinks.

He was quite satisfied with his son-in-law's performance today, and even drank dry food without peanuts.

"While your father-in-law is in a good mood, please read this letter. If there is no problem, please make a few copies of it." Lin Mo took out the letter he had prepared and put it on the table.

After Lu Bu glanced at him, he put down his wine glass, wondering what he was trying to do again.

At first he thought he was following Cao Cao's alienation tactics, but he ended up writing to a man named Zhao Yun in Changshan County.

The above are mostly words of praise. To put it simply, I have always known that you are a talented person. It is not a problem to hide at home all the time. Now that the world is in chaos, it is precisely people like you who are needed to help the country. If it were not for the isolation.

We are too far away and have too many enemies. I want to come to invite you. I hope you can come to Xuzhou and join me in this great cause.

"Who is Zhao Yun, worthy of your concern?" Lu Bu felt that the content of the letter was a bit disgusting, and closed it with disdain.

"A strong general."

"How fierce." Hearing the word fierce general, Lu Bu subconsciously showed contempt. In front of me, the Great Fengxian, who can bear the word fierce?

"No less than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei." Using them as a yardstick to measure, my father-in-law's understanding should be deeper.

Sure enough, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment when he heard the names of these two people. Then he put down the wine glass he was about to drink and asked suspiciously: "How can such fierce generals stay in the mountains and forests?"

"If my father-in-law hadn't mistakenly recognized my son-in-law, wouldn't people like me have to live in the streets? A thousand-mile horse also needs to be appreciated by Bole." Lin Mo didn't mind giving his father-in-law a high hat to wear.

It makes sense, Lu Bu nodded.

He thought of Xu Sheng again. Lin Mo found out that a man who could fight so well had gone to work as a nurse. It seemed that this boy had done enough homework to defect to Cao Cao.

It's a pity, I was given the advantage.

Thinking this way, Lu Bu felt better.

"Is he really that good at fighting?" Lu Bu asked again.

Shutting down Zhang and Zhang, we can tell them why the flowers are so hot and red when it comes to dueling Lu Bu, but these two always like to besiege themselves.

The same is true for Cao Cao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun. They are not afraid of wheel battles, but they prefer not to talk about martial ethics.

If he had such a strong general under his command, someone would have to share the pressure in the future, so he wanted to confirm it carefully.

"My father-in-law, let's give it a try. It's just a matter of a few letters. If we can get a strong general, why isn't it worth it?"

Lin Mo smiled and poured wine for Lu Bu, "If he really comes, if what he said is proven to be false, just throw it away."

Lu Bu thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Mo has been planning this matter for many days.

Even if Lu Bu now holds the title of General Zuo, it still cannot hide the fact that his background is too shabby, and the number of people he can win over is very limited.

If such a letter were written to Lu Xun in Jiangdong, he would probably think that Lu Bu drank fake wine.

Huang Zhong can't do it either. He is now the Zhonglang General, and his boss is a descendant of the Han Dynasty Queen and a governor like Liu Bei. His strength and reputation surpass Lu Bu.

Even Liu Ye, who was under Liu Xun, couldn't do it. Like Liu Xun, he thought that even if he defected, he would have to hug Cao Cao's lap.

The Jinfan thief is even worse. He is now more like a robber who has committed all kinds of robberies on the Yangtze River. However, Zuo Rong was already on the way to deal with him, so Lin Mo did not include him.

After much deliberation, he persuaded the other party through letters that Zhao Yun had some hope.

He took his tribe to seek refuge with Gongsun Zan, but he only became a centurion. Perhaps it was because of this feeling that he was not appreciating his talents that he became flirtatious with Liu Bei.

For such a person, it will be very useful if someone tells him that you are a great talent and I want to entrust you with important tasks.

And the person who said this is still the best general in the world, Zhao Yun will be even more flattered.

Of course, there is a possibility that he can't be persuaded, so Lin Mo plans to ask Lu Bu to write a few more copies, and one will be sent to him every once in a while after the expedition. The main theme is sincerity.

If he still doesn't want to come, then there is really nothing we can do. It is impossible for Lu Bu to really lead people to Changshan to invite him.

While pushing cups and changing cups, the two of them had already drank a lot. After Lin Mo pondered for a moment, he asked curiously: "Master Yue Zhang, was He Jin already dead before Dong Zhuo came to Beijing?"

Lu Bu was startled and looked at Lin Mo inexplicably. This topic was too exciting. After a moment, he nodded.

"Well, after his death, Yuan Shao and others led troops into the palace and captured the eunuchs. At that time, Emperor Xun and his Majesty escaped from Luoyang City and happened to meet the Dong thief who rescued him."

"It's really strange that a dignified general of the imperial court died so easily." Lin Mo sighed and shook his head.

"It's just a strong person on the outside. If you put him in the army, he will be a captain at best." Lu Bu sneered.

"But how did such a strong-willed man become a general of the imperial court?"

Lu Bu, who was a bit drunk, smiled slightly and wanted to teach his son-in-law, "It's not because of his good background. His sister was Empress He who was the regent at the time. You know my cousin."

Lin Mo looked like he suddenly realized something, and after sighing, "To say that relatives became stronger, it started from the generation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"Then you know that, and you still ask me." Lu Bu smacked his lips, feeling that Lin Mo was looking for something to say.

“I don’t know clearly.”

After Lin Mo chuckled, he sighed sadly: "In fact, the root of the decline of the Han Dynasty has been laid since then. Over the past two hundred years, the relationship between relatives, eunuchs and aristocratic families has gradually formed.

From this point of view, Cao Cao is better than them, because Cao Cao knows that one should not hire people based on their relatives, but on their talents."

Lu Bu nodded silently and said: "People should make the best use of their talents and everything should be put to good use. This is indeed profound."

After a while, Lu Bu, who was drinking, suddenly stopped and looked directly at Lin Mo, "Do you want to say something?"

"No, I was just chatting with my father-in-law. By the way, I lamented that nepotism is too harmful. A dynasty has declined because of it. If a prince..." Lin Mo waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of educating you.

.

Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo with some displeasure, and took a sip of wine, but found that the wine was no longer fragrant.

He knew that Lin Mo was talking about him. In fact, he himself also knew that the atmosphere of closeness and distance should not be too strong in the military, but he could not control the barriers in his heart.

When I think about it, I feel that it is understandable. Whoever is in power will naturally be more willing to trust his closest relatives and be wary of his subordinates.

But Lin Mo's simple chat just now made him couldn't help but re-examine this issue.

Lu Bu put down his wine glass, stood up slowly and walked under the eaves.

A dynasty may decline because of this, let alone a prince.

In the past, I have never been considered a prince. Most of the time I was either running away or on the way to escape.

Even after taking control of Xuzhou, I never felt that I was secure.

But things are different now. Xuzhou has tightened its grip, and even Huainan has been included in its territory, and the family business has grown.

So this guy started to worry that I would decline because of this problem.

Being educated by his son-in-law is certainly not something to be proud of. He turned around and glanced at Lin Mo, feeling quite comfortable in his heart.

This kid is really smart. His hints like this saved me a lot of face and made my father happy.

It is certainly wrong to employ nepotism, but as the territory expands, you really need to learn how to employ people.

I’ve written this down.

Lu Bu turned his back to Lin Mo and said in a deep voice: "We will go into battle in a few days. The military career is not as good as in the city. It will be very hard. You will have to adapt well when the time comes."

After saying that, he was about to leave. After taking a few steps, he went back and picked up the bamboo slips on the table. This was a letter to Zhao Yun, so he couldn't miss it.

"My son-in-law sends his father-in-law a respectful greeting."

Looking at Lu Bu's back, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth raised slightly.

It's okay to be arrogant, as long as you listen.

My good-hearted old father-in-law has a shining future. My son-in-law is proud of you.
