The next work becomes very simple, just wait until the rain has passed and the weather will clear up to receive the prisoners directly.

With the outcome already decided, Lu Bu didn't even wait for Liu Xun's letter of surrender before throwing a celebration banquet.

The scale of the celebration banquet is generally particular. After a victory, those above the rank of captain and those directly involved in the battle will have a first-class banquet. Those under the command of the captain and the commander of the army will have a second-class banquet. The rest will participate in the third-class banquet depending on their military contribution.

This time, because of Lin Mo's design, only a thousand cavalry actually participated in the battle against an enemy of 20,000 people. It can be said to be the least attended celebration banquet in history.

However, Lu Bu was very magnanimous and claimed that because of Lin Mo's plan, the soldiers had no chance to use it even though they had suppressed their strength. The standard would be changed. The first-class banquet standard would remain unchanged, and the rest of the people would celebrate as a second-class banquet. This is

In disguise, let them all remember Lin Mo's kindness.

"Yunwen, I didn't realize it until yesterday when the river embankment was dug up and the flood washed away Liu Xun's camp. You did a great job. It was me who was stupid before. This cup is my apology to you!"

At the banquet in the Chinese army's tent, Wei Yue came to Lin Mo with a wine jar in one hand and a wine bowl in the other. He grinned and said: "To be honest, I never thought that war can be so calculating. It's true.

Marquis Wen is a wonderful son-in-law."

Lin Mo picked up the wine bowl and stood up. Before he could speak, Zang Ba and Sun Guan also came over, "My uncle is so talented and well versed in the art of war. It is an eye-opener for us. I would like to take advantage of your celebration today."

Let me give you a toast. If there are military orders from now on, we won’t dare to doubt you!"

I am still young and I will rely on your guidance in the future. This is a humble statement.

Of course, Lin Mo didn't want to shout loudly in front of them: "Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi, don't bully the poor young man," but today is indeed an opportunity to establish his authority.

As the territory expands, he will have to take charge of his own business sooner or later. Without some skills, he may not be able to suppress this group of people.

When it comes to showing off, Liangzi's skills are quite high, and she immediately decided to learn a lesson: "I know the art of war well but I dare not say it, but those who fight have both visible and invisible weapons.

The visible soldiers are the swords of the halberds and warriors of the flesh; the invisible soldiers are the sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, water and fire, the aura of mountains and rivers, and all things and phenomena can be used as soldiers.

This time I used this invisible force to defeat Liu Xun, but I can't even talk about deep penetration."

Visible soldiers, this is what they can understand.

But this is the first time I heard about this invisible soldier, the sun, moon, stars, wind, cloud, water and fire...

This remark was unheard of, and upon closer inspection, I felt that this was not what Lin Mo used.

It’s really unfathomable.

Several people had solemn expressions on their faces, with admiration and admiration in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Wen's martial arts skills were unparalleled in the world, and when he found a son-in-law, his strategy was astonishing. With such a skill in both civil and military skills, it was really difficult for him to find an opponent.

That's it, people, when you succeed, everything you say is right.

After everyone drank all the drinks, Lu Bu stood up from the handsome chair, walked over, pressed Lin Mo's shoulder with one hand, and said solemnly:

"Yun Wen is not what I am today. Without his assistance, I would not be able to retreat from Cao's army or advance into Shouchun. At the same time, he is Ling'er's wishful husband and my son-in-law who can ride a dragon. From now on, I hope you will be the leader in our army."

Mark my words.”

"The final general should obey it."

Looking at the overall situation and calculating people's hearts, Lu Bu may be an amateur, but when it comes to how to establish power for Lin Mo in this military camp, he has his own method.

After a few people returned to their seats, Gao Shun, who had been silent all this time, finally came up slowly. He was holding a tea cup and raised it in front of Lin Mo, "Yunwen, I have only served one person in my life, and he has been on the battlefield thousands of times.

Marquis Wen, who comes and goes freely in the army; now it seems that you are the second one, I offer you tea instead of wine."

Lu Bu nodded with a smile and added: "This is true, he doesn't even accept Wen Yuan."

Gao Shun has always been one of Lin Mo's favorite generals before time travel.

Loyal, able to lead troops, not drinking, and strict military discipline, any of these are enough to make a military commander deeply loved by his master, not to mention that he can do all four in one person.

He also put away the fun he had just played and said solemnly: "Master Yuezhang often told me that General Gao led his troops well and blocked the rear of the army. During the Battle of Puyang, if the general had not fought to the death to block the pursuers, the army would have been in danger.

."

Gao Shun, whose face was paralyzed, raised the corners of his mouth in a rare move and nodded. His eyes did not hide his admiration for Lin Mo, and he drank the tea cup in one gulp.

That night, everyone in the Chinese army's tent, except Gao Shun, was carried back.

Lin Mo was in a drunken mess,

Two days later, I finally received Liu Xun’s letter of surrender.

After Lin Mo's reminder, Lu Bu did not appear arrogant in front of Liu Xun. Instead, he showed an attitude of not wanting to meet Liu Xun until late and dragged him into the tent to drink.

I even said respectfully that it was not my personal idea to beat you, and there was nothing I could do about it. The imperial court had an imperial edict saying that you were rebelling against the party by joining Yuan Shu in proclaiming himself emperor. In fact, how could I not know that you, Governor Liu, were a benevolent gentleman?
p>

This really confused Liu Xun. Didn't they say that the border refugees didn't understand etiquette? Why did he win the battle as if he was suing for peace?

Lu Bu is the best.

The two drank until late at night before someone helped Liu Xun to rest.

"Is it necessary to treat him like this?" Lu Bu felt that what he just said was too disgusting, and he felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

"My father-in-law, haven't you always been curious about why others are more willing to defect to Cao Cao and Liu Bei?"

Lin Mo said with a smile: "In addition to their outstanding reputation, their facial skills are also first-class. If you treat Liu Xun so kindly today, the 20,000 troops under his command will think that if Marquis Wen can treat Liu Xun so kindly,

Treating us so kindly is worth our efforts."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, this was something he didn't expect.

In the past, when recruiting prisoners to surrender, sometimes they would worry about surrendering and refuse to surrender, so they could only abandon them and use Liu Xun as a show for them. How clever.

"Of course, the most important thing is to show Liu Ye and everyone in the world."

"Liu Ye..."

Lu Bu looked at him intently: "Liu Xun's staff?"

He is not as simple as an aide. Lin Mo laughed twice and said: "Liu Bei claims to be the emperor's uncle after Prince Jing of Zhongshan, which makes the world's scholars look at him with suspicion. Does your father-in-law know who Liu Ye is? He is Emperor Guangwu.

After that, in terms of status, he became much more noble than Liu Bei."

There was something like this. Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested.

When princes from all walks of life recruit scholars, the extent to which they can do so mainly depends on two aspects. The first is influence. For example, Xun Yu was a very influential figure in Yingchuan; the second is talent, which is mostly

I heard he came back.

Liu Ye possesses the gold-lettered signboard after Guangwu, which is very popular. Lu Bu knows that holding him in his hand is equivalent to plating the gold-lettered banner with the word "Lü".

Winning him alone is equivalent to winning the imperial court's golden medal.

"Then why should I accompany Liu Xun? I should accompany Liu Ye." Lu Bu was a little anxious.

"That's not necessary, Zijing has already gone."

Lin Mo raised his hand to block Lu Bu who was about to leave the tent, and said calmly: "He and Liu Ye are old friends, so we will be more confident."

Hearing this, Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, half of the reason why I accompanied Liu Xun tonight was to win over Liu Ye. Going to see him directly gave people the impression that I was too purposeful.

Yunwen's arrangements are still appropriate.

"If Zijing fails, I will invite him out of the mountain even if I come to invite him in person."

Lu Bu showed his determination not to give up until the matter was accomplished, "Now that Jiujiang is in hand, Lujiang is also in hand, but Yuan Shu is still alive, and the wealthy families in Yangzhou are all waiting and watching. We really need someone who can unite people's hearts to stand up."

Lin Mo agreed with Lu Bu's view.

Winning Liu Ye alone is equivalent to gaining the support of half of the descendants of aristocratic families in Huainan.

Of course, he can be regarded as a very strategic person, but compared with Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xu Shu, there is still a gap.

At least, Lin Mo does value his influence after Guangwu more than his talent.
