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

Chapter 268 Chapter 267 Lu Fengxian is in a damaged mood
Zhao Yun returned to Zhuoxian.

No matter what, this can definitely be regarded as a triumph that shocked the world. He wiped out both the Black Mountain bandits and Bingzhou in one strike.

In addition, Zhang Yan is also returning with us, so of course he must be received with the highest etiquette.

But after Lin Mo told Lu Bu about this, he just nodded indifferently and let Lin Mo be responsible for the reception.

What's going on? Something is wrong with my old father-in-law. Isn't it because he doesn't support his attack on the Central Plains? Why is this?

Lin Mo wanted to open up and communicate with Lu Bu several times. After all, they were a family. He was also the one who said at the beginning that there was nothing a family could not be honest about, but now he seemed to be hiding secrets in his heart that he did not want to tell.

Unfortunately, the old father-in-law just waved his hand and didn't want to say much.

Helpless, Lin Mo had no choice but to go out of the city to greet him in person.

"Yunwen? Why don't you see Marquis Wen?" Zhao Yun's first words after meeting were Lu Bu who asked him first.

"Thank you for your hard work, Zilong."

Lin Mo deliberately changed the topic, then looked at Man Chong and Zhang Yan and smiled slightly.

Both of them bowed politely and said, "I will be favored by you for your sins. Please pay my respects to Marquis Lanling."

"Zhang Yan from Taihang Mountain has met Marquis Lanling."

Lin Mo already knew the news about Man Chong being conquered, so he wasn't too surprised.

This battle can be considered a success. It not only dealt a heavy blow to Cao Cao, killed Xiahou Dun, captured Bingzhou, but also brought back Man Chong and Zhang Yan.

One is to help Cao Ren withstand Guan Yu's fierce attack, and the other is to occupy the Taihang Mountains for more than ten years. Several princes have no choice but to do anything, and it is not easy. They can well enrich the middle level of military officers.

"I've been looking forward to meeting you two for a long time. Come on, come on, follow me into the city. I've prepared a reception banquet for you." Lin Mo held each one up with one hand.

For Lin Mo, this was the first time the two had met, but the name was already known to everyone. Seeing a living person today, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and followed his footsteps towards the city.

At the reception banquet, Lin Mo, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Tu, Man Chong and Zhang Yan had a good atmosphere, drinking and drinking, and the atmosphere was high.

Listen to Yan Liang and Wen Chou's joy in besieging Xiahou Dun; listen to Man Chong's domineering attitude of beheading the white horse to condense the military's morale; listen to Zhang Yan's heartfelt admiration.

We are like long-lost friends reminiscing about the past and expressing our feelings.

In fact, both Lin Mo and Zhao Yun were absent-minded, and the smiles on their faces were more like coping.

In the past, when had Lu Bu been missing in such an occasion?

Zhao Yun asked several questions but was avoided by Lin Mo. He didn't understand why Lu Bu avoided seeing him.

In fact, not only him, but even Lin Mo, who was good at calculating people's hearts, didn't know what happened to his old father-in-law.

I obviously supported him in attacking the Central Plains, so why did he still start a fight?

Therefore, after the dinner was over, Zhao Yun did not go back when the party was over, but wanted to ask questions clearly.

If he was just a warrior, of course he shouldn't be involved in this kind of lord's family affairs, but from the beginning to the end, Lu Lin's son-in-law never treated him as an outsider.

They dared to put the hidden clue of Hongxiu's trick in front of Zhao Yun, and Qianli Murder also pointed out themselves. It would be difficult to feel at ease if they didn't ask clearly.

Lin Mo didn't intend to hide it from him, but because there were outsiders just now, it was inconvenient to tell him too much. Now that they were the only two in the hall, he told all the causes and consequences of the matter.

"Marquis Wen's move is a bit greedy and rash, but Yunwen, you also support him, why are you still so depressed that you don't even want to see us." Zhao Yun asked in confusion.

Lin Mo shrugged, "I don't know either, so go ahead and give it a try. Maybe I'll be willing to talk to you."

You are the husband-in-law. If you don't even tell me, how can you tell me? Zhao Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, but nodded.

If he really figured it out, Lin Mo would certainly be happy, but he was afraid that his old father-in-law might have some resentment in his heart and not say it out loud.

Over time, the seeds of darkness will take root and sprout in my heart.

Therefore, it is still necessary for Brother Yun to make this trip.

Of course, this was the next day.

When meeting Lu Bu, Zhao Yun had the same idea as Lin Mo. He felt that the man in front of him no longer had the brilliance of Lu Bu in the past, as if he was a depressed old man who had closed himself up.

After Zhao Yun sat down, he tried to use the conversation skills that Lin Mo taught him. It was obvious that he was an honest person and didn't know how to beat around the bush, so the clichés seemed very lame.

"Zilong, let me tell you what you are trying to say here and there. If you have any nonsense, hurry up!" Lu Bu soon lost his patience.

"Why Marquis Wen wants to return to Pengcheng at this juncture, I don't understand." Zhao Yun scratched his head, well, sincerity is the last resort.

"Did Yunwen ask you to come?"

"That's what I want to know too." Zhao Yun quickly added.

Hearing this, Lu Bu sighed heavily, as if full of powerlessness. He looked at Zhao Yun and said casually: "Don't you miss home?"

"Marquis Wen, you said that the young lady Yunwen and I rescued in Xiaoguan are your own family, so you will let me go with you when you travel thousands of miles to Wen County to kill people."

Of course, Zhao Yun didn't believe that it was just because of missing home. He said seriously: "Since we are a family, we should treat each other sincerely no matter what."

Perhaps he didn't expect Zhao Yun to say these words. Lu Bu was stunned, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Of course, you are the same as Uncle Zhi and Wen Yuan in my heart."

Zhao Yun said nothing more and looked straight at Lu Bu, waiting for his next words.

"I didn't lie to you, I really miss home."

Seeing Zhao Yun frown, he took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and threw it on the table, "Ling'er sent it a few days ago. Before I had time to tell Yunwen, I will tell him when I see him later. .”

The content of the letter is concise and concise. Guo Zhao has found out Cui Xian's problem very clearly. Her details are not clear yet, but it is certain that this matter is led by Cao Cao. If he wants to completely dig out Cui Xian's identity, it is estimated that It will take some time.

Cui Xian has a problem, which means the Cui family has been instigated to rebel.

Not sure if it was related to the fertilizer distribution rights, Zhao Yun frowned.

The problem is, this incident will not make Lu Bu depressed and want to go home. You have never met Cui Xian and have no feelings, so how can you be affected.

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Zhao Yun's heart, Lu Bu leaned back on the handsome chair, looked up at the dome, and said feebly: "Zilong, most of what we have endured today is due to Yunwen's hard work.

Among the capable generals, one is you, the other is Xingba, Wenze, Ziwen, and even Yan Liang, Wen Chou, it is actually because of Yunwen that he came to me.

Jia Wenhe, who defeated Cao's army in Anfeng, Liu Ziyang, who stabilized the overall situation in Lujiang, and Xu Yuanzhi, who took command in Xiaoguan, were all talents that Yunwen attracted.

There are also thousands of troops under his command.
I've often been thinking about a question recently. This team may not have any impact without me, but without Yunwen, it will soon fall apart. "

This is not a feeling of fear due to great achievements, but as the commander of this army, Lu Bu, who was once proud among the people, and Marquis Wen, who made the generals in the world change their expressions, has now become a dispensable person. people.

No one could tell the powerlessness deep in my heart, especially not to Lin Mo.

"Marquis Wen, even if he has thousands of troops, he grew from the seed of Marquis Wen. Without Marquis Wen, even if Yunwen is talented, he will still be a counselor who is inferior to others."

Zhao Yun still clearly remembered that under Xiaoguan City, Dian Wei gave him the chance to be the savior because Cao Cao wanted to take Lin Mo for his own use.

The problem is that in Cao's camp, no matter how much Cao Cao values ​​him, it is impossible to overwhelm the group of people in Yingchuan, because they are not only outstanding in resourcefulness, but also have the support of aristocratic families behind them.

Lu Bu waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Do you know why Cao Cao sent Cui Xian to marry me instead of marrying Yunwen?"

Zhao Yun shook his head, and Lu Bu laughed at himself: "Because everyone knows that no one can control Lin Yunwen's tricks. Only a common man like me can do it.

I don’t know what Cui Xian’s methods are, but what is certain is that Cao Cao is driving a wedge between Yunwen and me.

They can't deal with Yunwen, so what should they do? I think they can succeed if they start with me.

Therefore, my current value is only being used against Yunwen. "

Could it be that this was Wen Hou's dilemma and that his state of mind was damaged?

That's right, the Hu people he once killed gave him the nickname "Flying General". He once looked down upon the eighteen princes at Hulao Pass. He once retreated in Puyang with one enemy against six, and he once shot a halberd at the gate and retreated smartly. Huainan Army.

Back then, who wouldn't be frightened when they heard Lu Fengxian's name?

But now, he is no longer needed on the battlefield. Outside the battlefield, he has become a stumbling block piled on Lin Mo's road by the enemy.This feeling is a humiliation for any military commander who has ever dominated the battlefield.

At the same time, there is a sense of powerlessness.

Because he is no longer a scorching sun that cannot be looked directly at, but a chess piece that is declining and is regarded as a liability.

Zhao Yun looked at the person in front of him, who was once regarded by the people of the world as an insurmountable peak that stood before the current military generals, and he felt inexplicably that Lian Po was old.

"Marquis Wen, I have gained some insights in marksmanship recently, but there are some areas where I have been unable to break through. I wonder if Marquis Wen would be willing to give me some advice?"

Zhao Yun wanted to use the blood of battle to infect Lu Bu's damaged state of mind, but the latter turned a deaf ear and said melancholy: "I dreamed about Uncle Zhi a few days ago.

He told me that he really shouldn’t have ignored Yunwen’s words and insisted on returning to Hanoi. If he hadn’t left, what happened next would not have happened. "

After saying that, when Zhao Yun was still thinking about how to comfort Lu Bu, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Yunwen wants to attack Sizhou, and I want to attack Cao Cao. Zilong, if I don't listen to him, Will he also become the second uncle?"

This.
Zhao Yun's face sank, I really can't answer you.

Could it be that this is the real frustration in Marquis Wen’s heart?
What Lu Bu said made Zhao Yun feel confused and speechless for a moment.

"There are more and more things that I can't figure out recently. In fact, if the territory is bigger and there are more troops, it doesn't necessarily mean that we will be happy.

I want to go back to Pengcheng, back to the original place. Maybe there is the answer I want to know there. "

Having said this, Lu Bu stood up and walked to the window sill aside. He looked at the scorching sun outside the window. He didn't know what he was thinking. He just turned his back to Zhao Yun and said, "Go ahead."

"General, I will retire." Zhao Yun bowed his hands and retreated.

When Lu Bu said this, Zhao Yun no longer knew how to enlighten him. It sounded like he was moaning for no reason, but only those who have truly climbed to the top can understand.

Even Zhao Yun himself will wonder if one day, when he is old, anyone will still remember the name of Changshan Zhao Zilong.

After Lin Mo learned the entire conversation between the two, he just nodded and said nothing.

He didn't know if his father-in-law was really old, but he was certain that his mood was really damaged.

If it were in the past, if he knew that Cao Cao was playing tricks like this, he would definitely be furious and become even more determined to conquer the Central Plains.

But this time, when I saw Ling'er's letter, I was so calm, and I felt like a different person.

Lin Mo didn't know whether his old father-in-law's mood was damaged because of Cao Cao, because of the uncle in the dream, or because he had a disagreement with him.

However, Lin Mo knew that his father-in-law was not a power-hungry person, otherwise he would never leave willingly at this time.

At the same time, it also indirectly illustrates a problem. One day, Lu Lin's banner will be filled with the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the royal family's struggle for power and the bloodshed will definitely not happen.

This made Lin Mo feel inexplicably at ease.

As for Cui Xian, the shady queen did a great job in verifying her unknown origins while not lifting the curtain.

Anyway, my old father-in-law has plenty of time after he returns, so he will check it out slowly. He can really find out some useful information.

Even if it doesn't, it won't be a loss to oneself.

Perhaps because Zilong and the others came back, the old father-in-law felt that there would be no more trouble in Zhuoxian County, so he simply rode on the red rabbit horse and left Youzhou.

He didn't bring any Bingzhou wolf cavalry, nor even any accompanying guards.

That's right, he was so strong in the past. Could it be that in his own land, he still has to lead a team of soldiers to admit the fact that he is getting old?

Seeing his old father-in-law walking away, his back under the setting sun a little lonely, Lin Mo's nose felt a little sore, and he murmured: "Actually, I have never felt that my father-in-law is old, but as a coach, I no longer need to go to battle in person. Kill the enemy"

After the old father-in-law left, the General's Mansion did not become lively because of Zhao Yun's return, but instead became even more deserted.

It seems that everyone is worried.

It was also after many days that Lin Mo came to Zhao Yun to discuss the attack on Wuhuan.

It had been a month since he came back. Maybe everyone was in a low mood, so Lin Mo didn't say anything about it for a long time.

But when he heard about the attack on Wuhuan, everyone seemed very excited.

"Okay! Yunwen, you don't know that Wuhuan has been entrenched in the three counties for many years and crosses the border to plunder from time to time. The people are suffering terribly. If you can defeat it in one fell swoop, the people of Youzhou will be grateful to you!"

"There's one thing I can't understand. Don't they say that General Gongsun's White Horse Yi Cong is unparalleled in battle? Hu Qi is no match at all. But I checked from the lists in the county newspapers. Starting from the Zhongping period, Xianbei invaded the border. There were 85 plunders, 52 by the Xiongnu, and 39 by the Wuhuan.

Moreover, every time the counties were plundered, they suffered heavy losses. Why? "

Lin Mo has never been able to figure this out. He remembers whether he read novels or movies or TV shows in later generations. Didn't they all say that beating these aliens in the late Han Dynasty was as easy as bullying a child? How could he be so embarrassed?

Zhao Yun sighed, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, "Yunwen doesn't know something. All the people of Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan are soldiers. Everyone in the army is good at riding and shooting. However, General Gongsun's white horse followers only have more than 3000. I can't withstand their multiple attacks and plunders.

Moreover, once our army's sergeants are left alone, they are no match for these barbarians.

Although General Gongsun also led us to fight some beautiful counterattacks and even destroyed several large tribes, it was far inferior to the barbarian invasion. "

Understand, that is to say, if it is a hedging war, some will fight, but if it is an individual combat capability, the Han army cannot compare with the Hu people.

That's right, each of these barbarians has been skilled in bow and horse since childhood. If a small force collides, the Han army will really not be able to defeat it. This is a fact.

If you want to send a large army out to encircle and suppress you, but they won't play a positive role with you, there is no place in the vast prairie where you can't retreat.

One day, if you can fight your way out of the pass, you must imitate the champion's lightning tactics and resupply wherever you hit.

But for now, let’s take care of Wuhuan first.

"Master Hou, there is someone outside the city who calls himself Tian Chou and wants to enter the city to see Master Hou."

"Bring it in."

Lin Mo smiled. The letter he sent to Wu Ending a month ago seemed to have an effect.

"Who is he?" Zhao Yun asked.

"A Han who hates Wuhuan."

Lin Mo twisted his sore neck and said leisurely: "Our guide."

The three counties of Wuhuan are located around the Yanshan Mountains. There are many mountains and they are rugged and difficult to navigate. Even with a map, ordinary people can get lost among the mountains.

Therefore, if you don't have a guide, if you want to invade the three counties of Wuhuan, it will take half a year to find them.

In history, Cao Cao relied on Tian Chou as a guide to achieve the feat of surprise attack on Liucheng, and Liao Shen was able to achieve the brilliant record of beheading Tadun on Bailang Mountain.

Regarding the God of Liao, the most popular thing in later generations is his brilliance in Xiaoyaojin. In fact, the battle at Bailang Mountain was also a victory with less, and it can also be regarded as a glorious achievement recorded in history.

In fact, of course this battle is most suitable for Liao Shen to repeat, but Lin Mo also thought that if he took the general's head from the rebellious army, Brother Yun would definitely be stronger than Liao Shen.

What's more, there are two brothers, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, who are still in a better situation than Cao Cao back then.

By the way, there is also Man Chong, a cruel official. After letting him rush into Liucheng, he will implement torture and tyranny against Wuhuan, which should be a strong deterrent.

Tian Chou entered the city.

And further away, there were two people approaching.

Two young men in armor ride on war horses.

One of them pointed at Zhuoxian County and said in surprise: "Look, that's Zhuoxian County. Boning is waiting for us there!"

I have been traveling for more than half a month, and I have been rushing here non-stop since I received Man Chong’s letter.

The invincible Lu Fengxian, the white horse and silver spear Zhao Zilong, and the unparalleled Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the Northern Kingdom.
These people are the pinnacles they look up to.

Of course, there is also Lin Yunwen, who is said in Man Chong's letter that his skills are as high as the sky and that one person can be a million soldiers.
