Chapter 6 Lin Mo breaks the situation
"Of course he can't help it. He will definitely send fast horses to the front line, waiting for Lu Bu and Liu Bei to decide the winner, and then capture them all!"
Lu Bu frowned, showing a hint of bitterness, "The question is, how to tell Cao Cao in advance what day in the evening Lu Bu will send troops?"
This plan should be to use a time difference to catch Cao Cao.
But Lu Bu couldn't figure out how to cause the time difference.
"This is not simple. As long as Lu Bu convenes a civil and military meeting and explicitly orders an attack on Liu, but due to food and grass restrictions, the date of dispatching the troops will be postponed for a few days. Someone will naturally pass the news to Cao Cao."
"Who?"
This sentence is obviously saying that there are collaborators in Xuzhou City. Lu Bu could not suppress the anger in his heart, clenching his teeth and protruding his jaw.
"Why are the powerful families in Xuzhou unwilling to rely on Lu Bu?"
Facing Lin Mo's rhetorical question, Lu Bu was stunned and silent.
Yes, some of them must have their hearts set on Cao Cao.
As long as he finalizes the attack on Liu in front of Chen Deng, the powerful people in the family will receive the news within a day.
How could someone who wanted to curry favor with Cao Cao miss such a God-given opportunity?
However, this is no longer important.
Because Lin Mo has analyzed it to this extent, Lu Bu's plan is completely clear in his heart.
"I understand what you mean. It's called dealing with Liu Bei, but it's actually waiting for Cao's army to fall into a trap."
Lu Bu raised the last question, "The only unreasonable thing is that if Liu Bei takes the initiative during this process, wouldn't Lu Bu have to be involved in a two-pronged battle?"
"No."
Lin Mo firmly picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake representing Xiaopei and waved it in front of Lu Bu, "As long as Lu Bu comes to Peicheng and takes out the secret letter of collaboration with the enemy to accuse Liu Bei, he will definitely not leave the city.
Because once he leaves the city, it is equivalent to admitting that he is connected with Cao; secondly, if he really has another letter in his hand, he will immediately understand that this must be designed by Cao Cao or Yuan Shu.
No matter what the situation is, he would rather stay inside Peicheng and not come out."
Under Lin Mo's well-founded explanation, Lu Bu suddenly understood that this boy really wasn't just talking nonsense, he had planned everything out from the beginning, which is amazing.
A quarter of an hour ago, he felt that Cao Cao's plan was shocking. Not to mention Chen Gong and Chen Deng, even if they tied up all the wise men in Xuzhou, they might not be able to think of a way to break the situation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mo used his strength to not only disrupt Cao Cao's conspiracy, but also took advantage of him.
"Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect you to have such a city and strategy at such a young age. In the past, Han Xing's soldiers may not have been able to do this, with good means and good calculations!"
Lu Bu, who was used to hearing flattery and flattery, would inevitably feel a little proud in his heart, and he rarely praised others.
But at this moment, he felt that no words of praise could be used too much on Lin Mo.
Not only because he solved the deadlock for himself and turned the tide.
Especially because he is my future son-in-law!
I have a virtuous son-in-law, Lin Mo, so why should I be afraid of mere thieves?
Previously, he was a little annoyed that his daughter was spoiled by him and had too strong personality. Even if he did not choose the Yuan family with four generations and three nobles, at least she had to be from a powerful family to be worthy of her, so he chose a lowly refugee.
Now, he just wants to say to Lu Lingqi that she is a good judge of people.
"So, my son-in-law has passed the test of my father-in-law?"
Lu Bu didn't answer and stood up slowly.
The sunlight behind him shone on the burly body like a city wall, making Lin Mo unable to see his expression.
"Yunwen, I have approved your marriage."
Probably, Lin Mo hadn't realized what the sonless Lu Bu meant by these words. He only knew that he could escape Xuzhou as soon as possible, so he smiled and bowed:
"Thank you, my father-in-law! I wonder when will your father-in-law prepare to return to Wen County?"
"No rush."
Lu Bu, who sat down again, waved his hand and said, "I still have some things to do in Xuzhou, but you can rest assured. I am familiar with Lu Wentao. Even if Cao Jun invades, hiding in the Lu family can maintain peace."
."
Lin Mo was completely relieved now.
Cao Cao did know how to massacre cities, but the people he massacred were refugees and ordinary people, and he would not go to the homes of powerful families to kill people.
"By the way, according to your opinion, among the powerful families in Xuzhou, who is most likely to pass through Cao Cao?"
Lu Bu tried his best to relax himself, as if chatting, without even looking at Lin Mo.
"Chen family, there is no doubt about this."
Chen Deng?
Lu Bu does not rule out this possibility.
"If you go by what you just deduced, after defeating Cao Cao, you can go back and deal with the Chen family. As long as the Chen family is punished for collaborating with the enemy, other powerful families will definitely defect to Lu Bu. It's really wonderful."
p>
After the stone hanging in his heart was put down, Lu Bu felt relaxed and said with his legs crossed.
"No."
Lin Mo shook his head and sighed: "Actually, we are in a different place. What the Chen family did is absolutely right. He just wanted to choose the master in his heart and find a future for the Chen family.
You know, there is more than one powerful family in Xuzhou who wants to join Cao Cao, so Lu Bu can't kill them all."
Lu Bu frowned and said nothing. He knew that Lin Mo was telling the truth.
In fact, Chen Gong also said this. The reason why they have always been inconsistent with their appearance is simply to stabilize themselves first and then join Cao Cao after finding a suitable opportunity.
"So..."
Lin Mo raised his head and said: "The wisest thing to do is to hold on to the evidence of the Chen family's crime of collaborating with the enemy but to be open-minded. This not only tells the Chen family that Lu Bu can deal with them at any time if he wants, but also cuts off the Chen family's desire to continue to surrender to Cao."
Think.
The most important thing is that if Lu Bu does this, his bad reputation in the past will be remedied to a certain extent.
The wealthy and powerful people in the aristocratic families will think that Lu Bu is really a ambitious hero, and perhaps it is the right thing to join him. After the incident spreads, it will not only be Xuzhou, but also the powerful and powerful families in other prefectures and counties will be ready to take action."<
/p>
It's amazing, this gaze can see far enough, Lu Bu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
According to his character, if it is confirmed that the Chen family is really connected with Cao Cao, he will not be able to get out of his bad mood without killing his entire family.
After listening to Lin Mo's analysis, he realized that what's the use of winning a temporary battle of emotions? Getting the maximum benefit is what a smart person does.
When the time comes, why won’t the Lu family, Zhang family, Zhao family, and Zuo family still submit obediently?
For a while, Lu Bu felt that Xuzhou was simply a hot potato. In addition to gaining a large number of common people, not a single powerful family was attached to him, and he also had to provoke the covetousness of Cao and Yuan.
After today, he was shocked by Lin Mo's words and he had a clear idea.
It turns out that it’s not that I can’t use all this, it’s that I don’t know how to use it.
No wonder he said that this battle can solve all these problems at once. From the beginning of the battle, to dealing with it in the middle, and then to gathering the family at the end, he actually planned it all. He is really a monster boy.
Lu Bu even felt grateful to God for no reason, otherwise how could he have met such a monster boy...
No, I should be grateful to my sensible daughter for finding a good husband.
"Yunwen, it's almost time. I also made an appointment with Lu Wentao for a drink. If you still need something in your house, you can tell me."
After having a clear direction and goal, Lu Bu was full of enthusiasm and energy. He immediately got up and prepared to go back and make plans.
"My father-in-law, there is no shortage of other things. However, since my father-in-law is so good with the Lu family, can you introduce Lu Zijing to me? I have some things I want him to help with."
After thinking for a while, Lu Bu nodded, "This is easy to handle. I will ask Lu Zijing to come over tomorrow. He is quite heroic. You young people might as well get closer."
Although the Lu family is unwilling to enter the scene, they will still obey this small request honestly. Lu Bu is very confident in this.
"Thank you, my father-in-law."
After bidding farewell to Lu Bu, Lin Mo returned to the osmanthus tree and took out several pieces of silk cloth from his arms.
The records above are all small inventions, such as wine making, steel making, soap, perfume and so on.
After selecting for a while, Lin Mo took out one of the silk cloths and murmured to himself: "In this era, there are already saddles and stirrups, but there are no horseshoes yet. Making some horseshoes is very practical."
When he just traveled through time, Lin Mo was ambitious and confident.
I thought that even if I didn’t have the prophetic skills, I would be able to live a lifetime of carefree with these inventions.
Later, he finally realized that this idea was a bit stupid.
Regardless of any invention, your sales target cannot be the common people. The reason is very simple. It is very difficult for most common people to make ends meet. How can they have the money to buy soaps and perfumes?
Green salt and iron-making are not as simple as I thought. During the Western Han Dynasty, salt and iron were monopolized by the imperial court, which triggered a battle for profit between aristocratic families and the imperial court for nearly a hundred years.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there was no explicit intention to lift the monopoly, the aristocratic families had already extended their hands to the salt and iron business, and the court probably turned a blind eye.
But that is an aristocratic family, not a business that you, a time-traveler with a humble status, can touch.
It can even be said that if any invention or business wants to make long-term profits, it cannot be achieved without the backing of strong powerful families or princes.
Lin Mo's original plan was to defect to Cao Cao, make some achievements, and then contribute these inventions, at least he would not be exploited too miserably.
Now, we can try to borrow the power of the Lu family.
