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

Chapter 109 The fish bit the hook

Liu Bei has been worried recently.

The situation became more and more unfavorable, and he always felt that the three-legged situation in front of him should be broken soon.

In fact, people with a little knowledge of the art of war also understand that Cao Cao needs to rest after the two battles in Anfeng County and Donglinkou. When he rests, he will attack Liu Bei, who is the weakest of the three parties.

There is no way to retreat yet.

Liu Qi did express his willingness to take him in, but there is obviously something else behind this matter. In this era of filial piety, very few heirs dare to make decisions beyond their father.

Unless, to the point of last resort.

Liu Bei, who didn't understand the intricate forces in Jingzhou, just took Liu Qi as a last resort.

To be honest, going to Cangwu is better than going to Jingzhou.

After all, if you go to Cangwu, you will always have a place to live. If you go to Jingzhou, you will risk being turned away and Cao Cao chasing after you.

Liu Bei was sitting in the council hall that had been simply repaired and still looked dilapidated. Guan Yu was sitting beside him kneeling on the couch, stroking his beard with one hand, and holding a book of Spring and Autumn with the other.

"Big brother! Big brother!"

At that time, Zhang Fei ran in quickly, with an excited expression on his face.

Liu Bei smiled wryly, "Killing a few scouts today made you so happy."

These days, there was no battle to be fought, so it was training, and that was all there was to it. It was really boring, so Zhang Fei took a group of people out to catch the scouts.

The actions of scouts are often single or double, with the main purpose of inquiring about military situations and monitoring operations.

The number of scouts depends on the strength of the princes.

Rich people have war horses, and the number of scouts is relatively large, so the timeliness of military information is naturally much higher.

Like Liu Bei's current situation, he can't call out a few groups of scouts a day, and considering the patience of the horses, he can only roam around.

It was different for a big family like Cao Cao, of course there were many scouts, so Zhang Fei went out to catch the scouts every day as if he were hunting.

If he is caught, he will inevitably be tortured to extract a confession. The information given is useful. Consider letting him go, and his bones will be smashed to pieces if he talks too hard.

"In recent days, the number of Cao Jun's scouts has decreased."

"Then you are still so happy?" Guan Yu on the side still looked at Chunqiu and asked casually.

"Second brother doesn't know something. Today I searched all the way for more than 20 miles, but I didn't see a Cao Jun scout. I've been thinking about it. I went to see the situation of Cao Ying. I don't know if I don't see it."

When Zhang Fei paused, Liu Bei keenly noticed that the third brother should have discovered some important information, and even Guan Yu put down the Spring and Autumn in his hand, and his eyes wandered over.

"I found that all the soldiers in Cao Yingli were pale and listless, and even the guards on duty were leaning against the gate, as if they had fallen ill."

Having said this, Zhang Fei continued with a smug expression on his face, "I intend to lead people closer to Cao Ying. After Cao Cao's cavalry chased us out, they just drove us away, not chasing us like before!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other with suspicious expressions on their faces.

This is not like Cao Cao's military habits.

"Could it be that the people in Cao Ying can't stand the water and soil in Anfeng?" Guan Yu murmured.

Liu Bei shook his head, "Our Pei Guo soldiers did not have such a situation, not to mention that most of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are from Qingzhou, where the water is also abundant, it should not be."

"Hey, it doesn't matter whether he is acclimatized or he is ill. It looks like he can't even hold a weapon. I think, if I don't lead people to kill him tonight, I will definitely defeat Cao's army!" Speaking of excitement, Zhang Fei It was a wave of arms.

The trick to lure the enemy?

Liu Bei thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Third Brother, don't be abrupt. Cao Cao is very good at using troops. This may be a trick to lure the enemy, so don't act rashly."

For Cao Cao, whether he wants to admit it or not, at least at this stage, Liu Bei is instinctively timid.

Whether it was the fire and poisonous attack in Anfeng County or the double ambush in Donglinkou, Cao Cao and Lu Bu could bear it, because they are now considered a big family.

But Liu Bei can't, he can't stand the toss with just such a small number of people.

If you want him to give it a go, unless he has full confidence, he would rather stay in Ankou County like he is now. Even if Cao Cao attacks by force, Lu Bu will most likely not sit idly by.

When the three of them were discussing, Sun Gan ran in, "My lord, Lu Bu sent a letter on horseback!"

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and immediately took the bamboo slips.

The above content instantly made Liu Bei's scalp tingle, and his eyes stared straight.

"Brother, what's the matter?" The impatient Zhang Fei couldn't help asking.

Liu Bei paused for a moment, then closed the bamboo slips abruptly, his eyes changed from uneasiness at first to admiration, and finally to an unprecedented firmness.

"At first, I thought that Lin Mo was beaten by Cao Cao, so he made a foolish move. I never thought about it."

Liu Bei slowly closed his eyes, took a breath, and sighed, "You are truly a great talent!"

"Brother, what's the matter?" Even Guan Yu seemed a little hasty, brother, please don't break the chapter.

"Didn't the third brother always suspect that Cao Jun fell ill just now? Now it seems that this matter is true."

Liu Bei raised the bamboo slips in his hand, and continued: "Do you still remember the five thousand stones of grain and grass that were robbed by Cao Jun earlier? Lin Mo poisoned it."

hiss.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Qian couldn't help but leaned back and gasped.

Immediately afterwards, enlightened expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

I see, no wonder he asked us to send multiple messengers, no wonder he didn't worry about the food being robbed, it turned out that the food was originally prepared for Cao Cao!
It's really not easy for this son to have the art of the city.

"Poisoning the battlefield is certainly disgraceful."

Liu Bei stood up slowly, held the bamboo slips in his right hand and tapped it on his left palm, and said happily: "For the sake of the 400-year-old foundation of the great man, sometimes we always use some extraordinary means.

Second brother and third brother! "

"Here!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stopped bowing.

"Assemble the army and prepare for war. According to Lu Bu's letter, at midnight tomorrow night he will attack Cao Ying from the East Village, and we will start from the West Village, double-teaming, and annihilating Cao Cao!"

Liu Bei's eyes were piercing, and with the force of his right hand, it gradually creaked, "This time, we must kill Cao Cao!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, all of them were full of fighting spirit, and said proudly: "Obey!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help protect the Han Dynasty and eliminate thieves for the country, only in the bright night!
No matter how worried Liu Bei was before, he did not dare to send troops lightly, but with Lin Mo's layout, he didn't plan to leave any behind. There was only one blow in the big battle, and for this blow, he chose to press the whole army and strike with all his strength. !
Under such circumstances, even though Lu Bu lost most of his elite troops and his own strength was mediocre, the odds of winning were definitely not a problem. The key question was whether Cao Cao could be killed.

Even if he couldn't, Liu Bei didn't panic.

Lu Bu's letter has already stated that he will be given Cao Cao's grain and grass, and Cao Jun's cavalry. With these resources, he can gain a firm foothold and re-develop Anfeng County.

Among the twelve counties in Anfeng, seven counties have been ruined, and only five counties are still in order. That's because there is a powerful Wubao.

But as long as he has soldiers and horses, food and grass, and has the name of emperor's uncle, I believe many people are willing to follow.

An Feng
Liu Bei couldn't help but look around, looking at the somewhat dilapidated council hall, he was filled with emotion, after all, he finally had a place to settle down.
Wei Yue's foundation is good, and he has gradually begun to gain consciousness, and he can eat porridge.

Of course, I still can't move.

Therefore, he didn't even know about this action.

But Zhang Xiu was different from Xu Sheng in that he suffered minor injuries and hadn't fully recovered yet, but he could move freely a long time ago.

After learning of the action plan, he screamed for a fight.

"Marquis Wen, Thief Cao insulted me too much, if he can't beheaded, he will be unwilling!"

"Marquis Wen, the last general will be ashamed in the battle at Donglinkou, and a few minor injuries are not worth mentioning. Please, Marquis Wen, allow the final general to fight!"

At the central army tent, Lu Bu rubbed his index finger among the people, with hesitation in his eyes.

If Cao Jun was really poisoned, then this battle would be easy and enjoyable, and it would be no problem to bring them along.

But if you invite the king into the urn, then you have to be cautious about this matter.

You know, Cao Jun's combat power crushed Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei wiped out his troops, at most he would drag Cao Jun into a chaotic and slightly fatigued state, and he would not be able to unilaterally crush Cao Jun.

Under such circumstances, the risk is extremely high for the two of them to join the battle.

As a coach, not only the safety of the generals must be considered, but the morale of the army cannot be ignored.

General soldiers are courageous, if they are killed on the battlefield, it is likely to cause their subordinates to panic.

Seeing Lu Bu hesitate, Zhang Xiu looked directly at Lin Mo
Now that Lin Mo's status as the second bearer in the army is confirmed, he estimates that only Lin Mo's words can be listened to by Lu Bu.

Lin Mo quickly looked away, good guy, thanks to my father-in-law, do you want him to point at me and say, see what he does, am I the master of Xuzhou?

As a human being, sometimes you have to be careful, otherwise you will die miserably.

"Yunwen, Wen Xiang was recommended by you to join the military camp. What do you say?" Lu Bu asked directly, seemingly not paying attention to Zhang Xiu's actions just now.

The old father-in-law asked, and Lin Mo finally opened his mouth, "Master Yuezhang, I see that he and General Zhang are recovering well in the past few days, and we should give him a chance to avenge his shame."

Lu Bu gave a long hum, nodded slowly and said, "Okay, since Yunwen has spoken, then let the two of you join the battle."

In fact, in his heart, Lu Bu also wanted them to participate in the war.

Now there are not many generals available in the barracks, Zhang Liao and Wei Xu are not here, Hao Meng and Hou Cheng are in the rear, Gan Ning is in Guangling, Zang Ba and Sun Guan are in Lujiang, plus the seriously injured Wei Yue, that is, Gao Shun up.

If the two of them are not used, I really don't know who to send to lead the army.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen, if you are not victorious, the last general will be willing to be a military law!" The two bowed in a tacit understanding.

"All the ministries will return to the camp to rectify their troops and horses, and follow me to the Cao camp tonight to make meritorious deeds!"

"Here!"

At Lu Bu's order, the generals waved their cloaks and walked out at leisure.

After everyone left, Lu Bu was also about to get up and leave, and Lin Mo seemed to be a little absent-minded when he glanced out of the corner of his eye.

"Yunwen, the ambush has been deployed according to what you said, is there anything else to worry about?"

"nor."

Lin Mo bit his lower lip habitually, "Cao Cao's ambush is indeed arranged, but... Liu Bei"

Cao Cao is all elites here, and there are many fierce generals. It is easy to defeat him, but it is difficult to kill him.

But Liu Bei, Lin Mo was thinking of any way to keep his head in Anfeng.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult, and there will be no spare manpower."

Lu Bu walked up to Lin Mo and patted him on the shoulder: "It's up to man to make things happen. You don't have to think too much."

Since the first battle in Donglinkou, Jia Xu's status in the army. Strictly speaking, his status in Lu Bu's heart has soared.

During this period of time, apart from listening to Lin Mo's story about the God of War with a crooked mouth, he would also go to Jia Xu to talk at night by candlelight from time to time.

After a lot of contact, Lu Bu also began to feel that some things are really destined, and people can only pursue, not force.

Lin Mo smiled lightly, and said casually: "I am a person who always believes that my fate is up to me."

This made Lu Bu laugh out loud.

"Well said, it's the same as when I was young, what kind of fate, I will break it with a single halberd!"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu became sad again, and sighed: "Maybe, I am really old, and I have long since lost the viciousness in my bones."

"Master Yuezhang is old when he is fighting?"

Lu Bu chuckled and said, "You are the only one who can talk, let's go, don't think about it."
