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

Chapter 228 Chapter 227

The acceptance of Qingzhou is much easier than imagined. When the prefects of the six counties came to meet Yuan Shang, they would directly bring all the taxes, cadres, treasuries, money and food, etc. of their respective territories, full of sincerity. to prove his determination.

Of course, these things are just appearances and cannot be dug deep, otherwise there must be tricks.

But Lin Mo didn't care about this. A Xuzhou, he has governed for two years and still can't make all the counties clean, and he has replaced the prefect with his own people.

As for the six counties of Qingzhou, even with the name of the Yuan family, they can only stabilize temporarily. It will take a long time to completely follow the path of Xuzhou and replace them with their own people, and it will be a blunt knife to cut flesh. .

There is no big problem with the government order, and the personnel cannot be transferred, so let's seek stability first.

The military problem is a bit bigger. The number of soldiers and horses after the integration of Eryuan is not as many as expected, only 12.

But this is an army that has been streamlined. For example, tens of thousands of people escaped before the reception, and after the reception, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be laid off.

Including Lu Bu's own soldiers and horses, there are more than 15 people.

What made Lu Bu and Lin Mo more excited was that from now on, they should not be too worried about cavalry issues. There are tens of thousands of war horses of Er Yuan alone, which is not counted as his own war horses.

However, the quality of Yuan Jun's cavalry is not good, and there are only about 3000 people who can be used. These are all the cavalry legions left by Wen Chou.

This is impossible. Yuan Shao's most elite cavalry were all lost during the Great War in the Central Plains. Yuan Shang could buy war horses from the frontier, but he could not train powerful cavalry in a short period of time.

For this, we can only rely on Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu.

All of this is good news, but the tricky thing is the officers.

12 Yuan Jun, just to change the army, you have to prepare 300 people to come out, plus Sima, Duwei, Xiaowei, and partial generals, you get 600 people.

And these people not only want to be loyal to Lu Bu, but also have to have two brushes, otherwise how do you lead troops and how do you convince the crowd.

Even if all the generals in Lu Bu's army were transferred to this number, it would not be enough. What's more, if they were all transferred, who would command their own people.

In desperation, Lin Mo could only find Gao Shun, and wanted to disband the trapped camp. At present, only by placing them all in Yuan Jun as generals, can the troops be quickly integrated and form a new combat force .

When Gao Shun heard that the old problem of facial paralysis was cured on the spot, his expression was distorted, and he waved his hands again and again, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Brothers and I have been with me for so many years, if we say goodbye, why don't you disband the Bingzhou cavalry, and then let us go again?" Otherwise, it’s okay to recruit Wenyuan’s personal guards.”

Lord Yuezhang and God Liao know if you say so, will they do something?
Lin Mo smiled helplessly: "Just pretend that I borrowed it from you, can't you? After half a year, the whole battalion will return to the team after half a year. Now there is really no other way."

Gao Shun rolled his eyes, "You said, only half a year."

To be honest, Lu Bu originally had eight strong generals under his command. Unfortunately, except for Zhang Liao and Zang Ba, the others were dead and rebellious, otherwise they could have helped.

At present, we can only go too far, but fortunately there is a camp, and these veteran generals will lead the soldiers of the two Yuans who have just been mixed together, and they should get started quickly.

Having said that, Lin Mo really wouldn't be willing to disband the trap camp.

After finalizing these matters, we can consider marching towards Yecheng.

Jizhou was originally Yuan Shang's territory, so there was no problem of appeasement and acceptance.

This trip is mainly to convey a thought to the soldiers and civilians in Jizhou. Your master has become a puppet.

This process will definitely be hindered, and Lin Mo is also prepared in his heart. The only trouble is that he cannot use a knife.

Therefore, the red sleeve move is very critical.

Only by penetrating into their interior can one have the opportunity to control the most real situation and break down one by one.

I have already written to Guo Zhao, and she should be able to handle it well. This little girl is actually quite capable, but she is a little too young.

Before leaving Yecheng, there is one last thing to do, get rid of Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain thief.

Zhang Yan is not a small trouble, it is no problem to ask him to make some noise and cause damage with [-] gold, but it is unrealistic for you to use [-] gold to buy someone else, otherwise Yuan Shao would have already taken advantage of him .

He has an army of tens of thousands at hand. Although these guys are bandits, they have been dealing with Yuan Jun for so many years, and with their understanding of the terrain of Taihang Mountain, they cannot be taken lightly as ordinary bandits.

But it's not enough to let it go, such a team, even if he doesn't run to your land to rob, it can't prevent Cao Cao from getting angry with him.

Therefore, the black mountain bandits on Taihang Mountain must be dealt with, and it is best to collect them for their own use.

If you really don't agree, you can only use soldiers.

"I go."

Lin Mo had just proposed an idea, and before Lu Bu could comment, Wei Yue begged for his life.

Lu Bu glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's right for you to go. When dozens of cavalry swept tens of thousands of black bandits, you almost killed Zhang Yan. He has enough deterrent power to go."

Lin Mo thought for a while, Wei Yue was really suitable to go, Ruo Rong couldn't handle this kind of thing at all, and the old father-in-law's end seemed to be too cheap, and if he was not careful, Zhang Yan would be scared and voted for Cao, which would be troublesome.

"Then bring the Bingzhou wolf cavalry." Although they were used to calling Lu Bu's old team the Bingzhou cavalry, Lin Mo always called them the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

They also seem to enjoy this title, which sounds more domineering.

"Anyway, it's unlikely that there is any sign of going out right now. You take them with you. If the negotiation fails, you can decide whether to fight or retreat."

Lu Bu thought for a while, and then added: "If he is willing to surrender, he will rule the land and give it to a prefect. This is the greatest sincerity. If you are not greedy, then ask him if he still remembers how Fang Tian painted the halberd to kill people."

Wei Yue laughed passionately, "Don't worry, Marquis Wen, you will live up to your trust!"

Two days later, Wei Yue led the Bingzhou Wolf Riders to the direction of Zhongshan, while Lu Bu and Lin Mo protected Yuan Shang and drove towards Yecheng.

After Zhao Yun and Gao Shun led the Chinese army, the team was too large to march fast. It is estimated that it will take at least 20 days for them to arrive in Yecheng.

"On the other side of Youzhou, I think your [-] gold is in vain. Gongsun Kang has the ability to protect himself. Let him lead troops across the border. He doesn't think much of that money."

On the way, Lu Bu said leisurely.

It was Xu You who asked Ruo Rong to go to the North Kingdom to bribe, and one of the [-] gold was given to Zhang Yan, and the other was given to Gongsun Kang.

The old father-in-law was right, the money given to Gongsun Kang was indeed in vain, but there was no way around it.

At the beginning, Lin Mo's idea was that Yuan Shang would flee to Youzhou after a big defeat, as in history, so as long as Youzhou was captured, the only way out for their brothers would be Gongsun Kang.

But Lu Bu is not as deterrent as Cao Cao in history, and may not be able to scare Gongsun Kang to cut off their brothers' heads, so he made the final preparations.

Later, Lin Mo discovered that Yuan Tan was no longer someone he could control, so he could only change a puppet in desperation, which led to the [-] gold given to Gongsun Kang, which was probably in vain.

"It's okay, I still have a second hand to deal with Youzhou."

"I just like hearing you say that."

When Lu Bu heard this, he burst out laughing without asking questions first.

There is no way out, my son-in-law has never failed in this regard, and he has the capital to be proud of.

"but."

"But what?" Lu Bu's eyes sank.

Lin Mobei looked in the direction of Youzhou, frowned and said, "The people I sent to Zhongshan came back and said that Ruo Rong had already left the Zhen family, what happened, why did he leave without saying goodbye."

"That's not like that guy's style."

Lu Bu also felt puzzled, "In the past, we were in such a difficult situation, and he was still in front of you. Now that he is about to take over the Northern Kingdom, does he still want to retire?"

Lin Mo said that he didn't know either, it was really not like Ruo Rong's style of doing things.

But Yuan Xi still has to deal with it. Maybe he really doesn't have any ambitions, but since he chose the path of coercing Yuan Shangling to the North Country, he must not allow a second Yuan family to appear here.

If one day he suddenly got up and said that he was the orthodox Yuan family, it would be more troublesome.

On the Anfeng side, Lu Jun’s behavior has been very suspicious recently. They kept transferring supplies to Yanhui Ridge. At the beginning, they were food and grass, and there were not many guards. Xiahou Dun wanted to go out to play a sneak attack, but Guo Jia rejected.

In the current situation, it is best to stop calmly. The opposite side is clearly using food and grass to attract us to attack, but in fact there are ambushes around.

After all, there are many mountains and forests in Huainan, and there are many places where thousands of people can be ambushed without showing any traces.

As time went by, Guo Jia felt that things might not be that simple anymore, because the transportation teams in Anfeng City would leave almost every two or three days, and they were no longer limited to food and grass. Going back to the mountains to transport, it seems that millions of troops can be stationed there.

"Zhang Liao, if you can't trick us once, won't you use another method? Even a door-to-door challenge is more effective than this method!" Xia Houdun only felt that Zhang Liao was a bit stupid. Since we didn't sneak attack for the first time, we naturally wouldn't do it later. Go, what do you think.

Guo Jia smiled, and murmured: "It seems that Lu Bu's subordinates are indeed not only capable of Lin Mo, but also someone who is pointing out Zhang Liao."

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Xia Houdun didn't understand why.

"He should have seen my plan to flood Anfeng. On the surface, he used the transfer of food, grass and ordnance to attract us to sneak attacks. It would be good if he could lay an ambush. Even if he couldn't, he really needed to send These things were transported to Yanhuiling.

If I'm not mistaken, when the rainy season comes, the defenders in the city will move to Yanhui Ridge. "

Guo Jia pursed his lips and said with emotion: "It's really amazing, it almost made Lu Jun invincible, this person's talent is definitely not inferior to Lin Yunwen.

Now I finally understand why the army on the Yanhui Ridge was not dispatched that night when the surprise attack on Anfeng was made. It was Lu Jun's last resort to save his life. "

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun's pupils suddenly converged, "Isn't the master's plan of flooding useless?"

Guo Jia's fingers tapped lightly on the table, but he didn't answer Xiahou Dun, obviously thinking about something.

After a while, his fingers stopped, and his palms were pressed directly on the table, a sharpness flashed in his eyes, "Then. Let's see who is faster then."

Xiahoudun blinked, a little dazed, he hadn't recovered from the calculation just now, had he already calculated to another level?

After only a short period of excitement, Guo Jia began to rub his temples, showing exhaustion from excessive use of the brain.

Or maybe, it's tiredness.

Anfeng's battle was far more difficult than he had imagined. One Chen Deng feigned surrender and killed more than [-] people in the army, but even so, there is still a secret available, if it can defeat the enemy invisible.

Unexpectedly, an expert would appear beside Zhang Liao out of thin air, and the other party had already seen through his own thoughts of being drowned. Guo Jia understood today what it means to have a sky beyond the sky and someone beyond people.

It seems that in the end, it can only be the details of fighting with each other to see who will suffer.

By the time Lu Bu and his party arrived in Yangping, this was the last post back to Yecheng, and the doubts in Lin Mo's heart were finally resolved.

"Ru Rong, governor of Langya, pay my respects to Marquis Wen!" Ruo Rong appeared at the gate of the post station, and bowed to Lu Bu's red rabbit horse. Lu Bu instinctively turned his head and looked into the distance.

Ze Rong ran up to Lin Mo nervously, "Brother, a day is like three autumns, Brother Yu, I have been waiting for you here for five days, I know, you must pass through the Yangping Post Station when you go to Yecheng." Yes, hehe, finally the emperor paid off, seeing my brother again, I feel all the tiredness in my body is swept away, I feel so at ease, so comfortable."

After Lin Mo dismounted, he sized Ruo Rong up and down, looked at him with a flattering smile, and said displeasedly, "Didn't I tell you to wait at Zhen's house?"

"My dear brother, I'm not familiar with the place. I've been there long enough. In the northern country, far away from my hometown, apart from seeing my dear brother, I feel at ease. I really feel like an abandoned person."

"Stop playing tricks on me, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Lin Mo gave him a white look.

This guy ran back in disobedience, just to enter Yecheng with his old father-in-law and himself.

As the political center of the Northern Kingdom, the core officials are all working in Yecheng, and those officials must come out to welcome the team that returned under the banner of a triumphant squad. This is the most precious opportunity to show their faces.

Ruo Rong chose to enter the city with him at this time, in order to tell the northern scholars that I, Ruo Rong, have an unusual relationship with Wenhou and Lanlinghou, so you better take it easy.

After all, I promised to let him be the governor or governor of the state if I had the opportunity. If there is no deterrence, I really can't do it.

Therefore, he chose this time to disobey his orders and run back to gain a sense of presence.

"Brother, what kind of tricks are you? Brother Yu will always look naked in front of you. How dare you play tricks? I really miss you." Ruo Rong had a grievance on his face.

Lost, Lin Mo pushed Ruo Rong away in disgust and walked towards the station.

You are not suitable to play with me, go to Guo Tu, you two are brothers.

He's already here, and he can't really drive him away. He will go to Youzhou after entering Yecheng tomorrow to get acquainted with the people. Anyway, he himself is not too tired.

In fact, the task of Lin Mopai does not have to be compatible with him, but people are like this. After doing too much dirty work, they don’t want to change people. After all, finding one more person means that one more person knows about those unbearable dirty things. dirty.

But now that there is an extra Guo Tu, it is estimated that Ruo Rong will be much more relaxed in the future.

Lin Mo said that the two of you will be crouching dragons and phoenixes in our army from now on.
