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

159 Chapter 158 Lin Yunwen is the real power holder

"Yunwen, tell me how to decide the vanguard general this time." Lu Bu raised his forehead at Lin Mo, and at the same time hinted with his eyes that he should choose Wei Xu, so that Weng and his son-in-law would not disagree on this matter.

These words naturally made all civil servants and generals focus on Lin Mo.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo still decided to follow his heart.

This team is no longer the team it was two years ago, and he is not a counselor himself. Even Lin Mo treats every sergeant in the army with heart, and he can't make fun of the lives of the soldiers.

"General Gao is the vanguard, and Zilong is the deputy general. They will lead [-] troops. They will set off for Linqu Xiazhai in [-] days." After Lin Mo finished speaking, there was no sound in the council hall, and everyone could see that Lu Bu had just hinted. So much so that Gao Shun and Zhao Yun froze in place.

"Do you need me to repeat it?" Lin Mo straightened his back and asked in a deep voice.

"Take orders!" Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, who came to their senses, rushed out to bow to each other.

Lu Bu looked at Lin Mo, and then at the group of old team members, his smile stopped abruptly. Obviously, each of them was a little unconvinced, with complex expressions on their faces, and strange eyes looking at Lin Mo.

In the end, it was Wei Xu who stood up and said earnestly: "Yunwen, I know that Zilong saved you, but our old brothers also followed Wen Hou from wrestling in Guanzhong's bloody water, so we can't favor one over another.

Boping and Zilong have fought several times, this time let our old brothers take the responsibility of leading the vanguard and lieutenant general. "

In the council hall, Zhang Liao and Wei Xu had the deepest relationship with Lv Bu. After all, they were both from the same township in Bingzhou.

It's nothing on weekdays, if you let it go, you will let it go, but in the battle of life and death, how can Lin Mo let it go, he is patient and squeezes out a smile, "Uncle Wei taught me a lesson, I will remember it in the future, but just now Below the military order, it’s not easy to change the order from day to day.” Lin Mo, who had long since ceased to be the chief bookkeeper, changed his military rank to the supervising army when he worshiped the Marquis of Lanling.

"There is no such thing as changing the order from day to night."

Wei Xuqian smiled, and said seriously as if joking: "Didn't you leave here? The military order has not been received yet, so just treat it as a face to your uncle. We old bones, no one will take your fancy. Opinion."

Behind him, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng all smiled and said yes.

You guys are forcing the palace. Jia Xu quickly lowered his head after taking a glance, don't get me involved.

Lin Mo frowned, and could only look at Lu Bu, but found that Lu Bu was also hesitant.

In his heart, he felt that he owed this group of old brothers, because what Wei Xu said was the truth, without these old brothers who followed him in the bloody battle, I am afraid that today's prosperity would not have been possible.

Their official positions haven't changed much in the past two years. On the other hand, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng and other newcomers have made great strides all the way. .

In fact, Lin Mo had expected that the old and the old factions would collide a long time ago, but he never expected that it would be at such a critical juncture.

If this is normal, it can still be reconciled slowly. Now, if it is not dealt with by thunder, this place will become the second Yuanying.

The old father-in-law couldn't make up his mind, so I'll do it.

He stepped forward, looked at Wei Xu, and said sonorously: "The military order has been issued, and it cannot be changed overnight."

Wei Xu was stunned, and angrily stretched out his trembling fingers to point at Lin Mo, "Do you still recognize me as uncle?"

"There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there is only law and order in the army."

These words made Wei Xu blush, and the faces of everyone behind him were also ugly. After all, they are usually called brothers. Although they called Lu Bu Wenhou on the surface, they also regarded him as a robe in their hearts, which is why they have come to the present firmly.

Now being said by Lin Mo, it seems that the love in his heart has been denied, and there is a sense of desolation of being abandoned.

"Marquis Lanling is young after all. In the past, Marquis Wen treated us and his brothers with robes, but now he is so chilling."

"Could it be that the Marquis of Lanling thinks that we are all old people, not as good as the people you brought into the barracks?"

"If you want to talk about the law and discipline in the army, the Marquis of Lanling seems to be suspected of nepotism."

For a while, there was a sense of turmoil in the council hall, and it wasn't until Lu Bu made a case that the clamor of thunder stopped.

He stood up, walked in front of everyone, and gave him a cold look, which made everyone, including Wei Xu, lower their heads.

Lu Bu's eyes are really not something that ordinary people dare to look directly at.

Then he gave a dry laugh and looked at Lin Mo, "Yunwen, in fact, the most important thing in this battle is our central army. After all, the vanguard is just to open the way to the village. They probably won't do it. Let them go and there will be no problem. , change it?"

Lin Mo also smiled back, cupped his hands and said: "This is easy to handle. In fact, Mr. Yuezhang only needs to change one person, and then both the vanguard and the lieutenant general can be replaced."

"Who should I replace?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.

"Supervisor."

"Oh, that's okay, just change it." Lu Bu was stunned immediately after reacting, aren't you the supervisor of the army, are you making trouble with me?It is impossible for anyone to change you, Lin Yunwen.

This kid is not like this usually, I think there is some other meaning, otherwise I can't even refute my face.

The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help scolding Wei Xu angrily in his heart, what are you doing to provoke Yunwen?

"Yunwen, you are too disrespectful. Don't be incoherent once you succeed, or you will suffer a lot in the future!" Wei Xu looks very much like those relatives and elders who complained to their parents in later generations. It is for you that I beat you good looking.

"It's not impossible to change the supervisor, I will find a candidate later."

Of course Lu Bu went down the donkey, Wei Xu and Cheng Lian looked happy, the young boys don't understand the feelings of the army's robes, it's because Marquis Wen loves us.

Even Jia Xu, Chen Gong and the others frowned, squinting at the Weng and his son-in-law, are they planning to break up in the council hall?

Yunwen, it shouldn't be like this, he is your father-in-law at any rate, and even more so, Lu Bu, the commander of the three armies, how can he accept such a rebuttal behavior.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ease the relationship, Lu Buyi said righteously: "However, before changing the prison army, first act according to the military order of the prison army. Gao Shun will be the vanguard and Zhao Yun will be the deputy general. They will lead [-] troops and rush to Linqu in [-] days. Get down!"

The corner of Wei Xu's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he was about to teach him a few more words when he realized what Lu Bu said, and immediately said at a loss: "Marquis Wen?"

"Anyone who dares to dissent will be punished by military law!" Lu Bu turned his back to them and shouted sharply.

"Here!" Seeing that Lu Bu was serious, of course no one dared to say anything, and Wei Xu could only bow his head obediently.

"The rest of the people went back to the camp to prepare. After the autumn harvest, they rushed to Linqu to fight Yuan Tan to the death!"

"As ordered!"

When everyone retreated, they all looked confused.

Jia Xu twirled his beard and shook his head. Marquis Wen's tolerance towards Yun Wen was a little outrageous, and he thought there would be a farce that would not end well.

Looking at Wen Hou's eyes just now, he was obviously protecting his shortcomings, a family is a family.

But that's fine, there is someone who can persuade him, otherwise, according to this kind of temperament, no matter how big the foundation is, it will be destroyed in his hands.

From this point of view, Lin Yunwen is the real person in charge of this team, and Jia Xu feels that his East China Sea prefect can sit securely.

It wasn't until the Weng and his son-in-law were the only ones left in the council hall that Lu Bu sighed helplessly, "Yunwen, if you do this, they will think that we, Weng and our son-in-law, will not be able to accommodate the former heroes."

"My lord Yue Zhang, I have said many times that the leader of the army is most taboo to have close relatives. I have a clear conscience about this. If you don't use them, it's because they don't have the ability."

If history does not change, Song Xian was beheaded by Yan Liang in three rounds, and Wei Xu was killed in seconds after going up with a knife. What is the fight?Still a pioneer at this level?

Lin Mo shook his head and continued: "Besides, they all have an air of arrogance, as if the Northern Army is made of mud. Don't forget, Mr. Yuezhang, we are facing three times as many enemies. With excellent equipment, chariots and heavy cavalry that we do not have, if we are not careful, we will lose everything!"

Seeing Lin Mo's rare seriousness, Lu Bu realized that the matter was indeed more serious than he imagined, and asked softly, "Is it really so dangerous?"

"I don't have any confidence in defeating the Northern Army." Lin Mo spoke his mind very frankly.

This is not Lin Mo's modesty, it is an army of 20, no matter how brave the general is, he will be as small as an ant inside.

Moreover, the euphorbia warriors, the [-] cavalrymen who boarded the camp first, plus hundreds of chariots, to put it bluntly, this is a unilateral crush.

"If I remember correctly, this is the first time you said this."

Seeing the melancholy on Lin Mo's face, Lu Bu could no longer laugh, and nodded slowly, "I understand what you mean."

"However, after all, they are brothers who were born and died with me, and we still have to find a way to settle them properly in the future." At the end, Lu Bu added another sentence.

"Let's talk about the Northern Kingdom after the war." Lin Mo has no objection to resettlement. Even if the old father-in-law doesn't resettle them, he has to resettle them. After all, in a situation like today, one time is enough, and there can't be a second time.

Frankly speaking, these people do have military exploits, and they can also lead troops to fight, but they are too old-fashioned, and they will not look down on the rising stars of the new generation.

The friction between the old and the new faction is really indispensable everywhere.

This matter, because I was caught in the middle, the old father-in-law could tolerate it. If it was Chen Gong, it would probably not be so easy to handle. No wonder he got so close to these veterans, because he was afraid of what happened today.

Jizhou, Yecheng.

The armies of all parties are in the midst of preparations. Yuan Tan took away 15 troops from here, but there are still 40 troops devoted to the frontal battlefield.

For 40 people, it will take more than half a day just to send orders, and it will take more than half a month to get ready, assemble, and then set off.

Yuan Shao, who had finalized his route of attack, was going to take Baima City first.

Baima City is the frontier of Cao's army south of the Yellow River, guarding the vital route for the Northern Army to go south. Without taking Baima City, it is impossible to enter the Central Plains.

Therefore, Yuan Shao was ready to catch him by surprise.

The army went south after the autumn harvest, but the vanguard was not. They wanted to capture Baima City before Cao Cao could react.

"My lord, although General Yan Liang is brave enough to win the three armies, he lacks strategy and cannot be sent as a vanguard. I suggest you choose one of Zhang He or Gao Lan."

As soon as Jushou heard that Yuan Shao was going to send Yan Liang to attack Baima City, he immediately came to persuade him.

But right now, Yan Liang has already gone to order troops, so how could Yuan Shao agree to wave his hand indifferently and say, "Don't worry too much, I have sent people to monitor Baima City for a month, Cao's army has not increased its troops, and Liu Yan in the city is no more than four. Thousands of soldiers and horses, Yan Liang leads an army of [-] to surprise attack, is there any reason for them to be invincible?"

In Yuan Shao's view, this is not something to consider at all.

"My lord, I am not worried that Yan Liang will conquer Baima City. The problem is that Baima City is less than [-] miles away from Xuchang. If Cao Cao rushes to help in two days, he can come to the city, and our army still has half a month to send troops. I am worried that Yan Liang may not be able to." Wait until our army arrives!"

Being cautious is a good thing, but Yuan Shao will lose his patience if he is too cautious.

Recently, he has received many secret letters from Xuchang officials, all of which are flattery and show of favor, and even betray military sentiments. In Yuan Shao's view, this is almost a battle without suspense, and there is no need to be too cautious.

Therefore, he would not listen to Jushou's words. Yuan Shao, who was standing under the gazebo, threw out the fish material in his hand, looked at the shoals of fish rushing up and snatched food, and said with a smile: "This statement is wrong. If Cao Cao dares to come to rescue him, Our cavalry can reach Baima City within three days, why, do you think Yan Liang will not be able to defend for three days?"

In the Northern Kingdom, Yan Liang, Wen Chou are all known as the brave champions of the three armies, and their martial arts are not inferior to Lu Bu's existence.

And between the two, Yan Liang is often put first by default, which gives people a preconceived impression that Yan Liang is No. 70 in the 1 troops of the Northern Kingdom.

With the addition of [-] elite soldiers, it is ridiculous to say that they will suffer in Baima City.

"Lord."

"You step back first." Before Jushou could say anything more, Yuan Shao had already issued the order to evict the guest.

With Tian Feng's lessons learned, Ju Shou reckoned that no matter how persistent he was, he would inevitably end up eating Yuan's special dish "fork out", so he could only sigh, shake his head and leave.

Liyang is to the north of the Yellow River, and Baima is to the south of the Yellow River. The two cities are the strategic frontiers of Yuan and Cao, guarding the passage of the Yellow River.

At this time, Yan Liang, who was wearing a black armor with sword eyebrows and star eyes, with knotted veins on his arms and a golden saber on his horse, led [-] troops out of Liyang City and marched towards the Yellow River ferry.

It is the most dangerous time for the army to cross the river and have not yet landed, so a few troops are often sent to do outpost work in advance to ensure that there is no possibility of being attacked.

It is relatively easy for infantry to cross the river, but the cavalry is a little troublesome, and they have to be separated, which leads to more transportation.

However, since there were no heavy cavalry and no siege equipment such as building carts, half a day was enough time for them to reach the other side.

"Brothers, take down Baima City, enough wine and meat, kill Liu Yan, and be promoted to a higher rank!" White Horse City rushed.

The distance of more than ten miles has been killed in the blink of an eye.

The four gates of Baima City were closed tightly, and Cao Jun who closed the city gate looked at each other, pointing at the assembled Beiguo army coming in like a tide, with a fearful expression on his face.

This is very good, it seems that there is no need to attack the city, the corners of Yan Liang's mouth rose in complacency.

"Listen, Cao Jun in the city, I am Yan Liang, the general of Jizhou. Those who open the city will not die, otherwise, if the city is captured, no one will be left behind!"
