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

Chapter 289 Chapter 288 The natural protagonist

Zhao Yun's empty camp plan was very successful, and it really frightened the troops of the ten troops in Guanzhong.

It is normal to have never deceived Pang Tong. The problem is that Pang Tong, who entered the camp in white, has the ability to turn things around, but he may not be able to make ten people who are not united to listen to his orders.

In fact, let alone him, even Ma Teng often needs to mediate between various parties. After all, the princes themselves are making a living in the land of Sanfu. There are still times when teeth bite tongues. There have been more or less dissatisfactions in the past. .

But, no matter what, these two days were spent peacefully.

Lu Ying Dazhai finally survived until Lin Mo's [-] troops arrived at the front line, and the entire Dazhai became much more substantial.

"The last general will plead guilty!" In the Chinese army tent, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Man Chong knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.

Lin Mo, who was sitting on the handsome chair, looked at the three of them, calmed down for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Before the expedition, I made it clear again and again that the troops from the Tenth Division of Guanzhong would definitely come for a sneak attack, and you also swore that they would not. Something happened and you ended up killing nearly two thousand of my cavalry in one go. Do you know your guilt?"

"This is the fault of one person, the general. I am willing to accept the military law!" Zhao Yun, who was kneeling on one knee, turned away and bowed his hands.

"The end will be guilty!"

"The last general is also guilty!"

Zhang Xiu and Man Chong expressed their opinions one after another.

In fact, Lin Mo certainly didn't have to blame anyone for this matter.

On the way here, he had already read the battle report sent by Zhao Yun, and understood the cause and effect of the incident. It was really no wonder that they were so angry. It could even be said that it was not easy to do this.

Anyone else would be worse off than Zhao Yun.

However, this team is no longer the former small team of ten thousand people. What does the army of hundreds of thousands rely on to unite the morale of the army and distinguish rewards and punishments? If Zhao Yun only rewards but not punishes just because he saved himself, other generals will feel guilty if they know about it. ideas.

Moreover, if you want to request military law in the future, who will obey you?

"Zhao Yun, the vanguard, used his troops carelessly and caused over [-] casualties to our army in the first battle. According to the military law, the staff is eighty heavy!"

After Lin Mo finished speaking, Zhao Yun sighed. Zhang Xiu and Man Chong's faces turned pale with fright. Those were military sticks. Eighty military sticks would kill an ordinary person with forty military sticks, even for someone with Zhao Yun's physique. People can't get off the ground for half a year.

Just when he was about to share the responsibility, Lin Mo directly pressed his hand and said first: "Remembering that I am a vanguard general, when I am hiring people now, I will write down this military stick first, and I will be punished for my crime. If I commit it again, I will be punished." Crime and punishment!"

"Here!" After Zhao Yun took the order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get up." After Lin Mo waved his hand, the three of them dared to stand up.

This is quite interesting.

How could they be so scheming that they first hid three thousand cavalry under the Taihang Mountains.

This number is controlled very accurately. If there is more, it will be easily discovered by the scouts. If it is less, it will not have the effect of storming the village. Unexpectedly, there are capable people in the ten tribes in Guanzhong.

Lin Mo clenched his chin and rolled his eyes, was he Cheng Gongying? Among the ten men, he was the only one who knew some about the art of war, strategy, and the city's mind. There seemed to be no other person.

If this was really his idea, it seemed that he had underestimated this guy before.

It seems that things will get a little tricky next.

Originally, in Lin Mo's plan, he came with this [-]-strong army. He was not in a hurry to take action, as long as he maintained the confrontation.

Although the people of the Ten Divisions of Guanzhong have settled in the rich three counties of Guandong, they must not have fully digested this territory at this stage, and their food, grass, and ordnance must be greatly insufficient.

Especially for food and grass, as long as the two parties waste it like this, people's hearts will fluctuate over time. If the time comes, if they follow Cao Cao's example and send a corrected peace letter, there is a high probability that this will happen.

Now it seems that this idea is probably not feasible. Now that they have won a big victory and are full of momentum, they will definitely pursue the victory. The empty camp plan is just to buy some time.

After they have rested and recuperated, they will come to provoke them every day without any accident. Of course, avoiding the fight is also a way, but after a long time, it is hard to say whether the morale of the military will be shaken.

After all, he had been defeated for a while, and he was Zhao Yun, a man with unparalleled bravery who took over from his old father-in-law. The blow to his morale caused by this defeat can be imagined.

It can be said that this was almost the same shock as Lin Mo being plotted against.

When he first entered the camp, he noticed that the morale of this group of vanguard soldiers was a bit low. This thing was contagious, and everyone would inevitably discuss it in private.

If he comes to challenge him next but avoids fighting, you can imagine what the soldiers will think.

It's not that it will definitely be defeated, but it will definitely not be as simple as Lin Mo imagined at the beginning.

No wonder he was able to kill Cao Cao until he cut off his beard and discarded his robe. He was really a strong man.

There is a saying in later generations: One Lu, two Zhao, three Dianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei. It is said that in this ranking, except Lu Bu, who is recognized as the number one, if the other famous generals in the future really fight with their lives on the battlefield, whoever loses will win. It is possible.

It seems true today.

Ma Chao is very strong.

Coupled with the brave and skilled Xiliang army, this battle is really harder than imagined.

If that doesn't work, you can consider using Sima Lang. This guy is Cao Cao's secret agent and is working with Zhang Chunhua to plot against him.

After using him to regain some disadvantages, the battle situation can return to the way it was at the beginning.

But this is somewhat of an overuse.

When he was lost in thought, a scout quickly ran in, knelt on one knee and bowed: "Report! Lord Marquis, ten troops from Guanzhong were found to the west, heading towards our stronghold!"

Everyone's hearts tightened when they heard this, it happened so quickly.

"How many people are there?" Lin Mo asked calmly.

"There are so many, you can't see the end at a glance, they are stretching all over the place, no more than 3 people!" The scout was breathing heavily, and he didn't know if he was scared.

It seemed that he was about to challenge us. Lin Mo raised his forehead and looked at Zhao Yun, "Let the soldiers shrink their defenses and place the crossbowmen on both sides. They will not fire, and they will be on standby!"

"Here!" Zhao Yun promised and then took Zhang Xiu and Man Chong out.

Lin Mo held the Baihong Sword on his waist with his right hand and walked out. He wanted to see the Xiliang Army's formation.

Lin Mo, who climbed up to the observation platform, saw that the end of the distant horizon began to become thicker and thicker. Thousands of people came over like a tide. Ten flags were floating at the center of the army.

It seemed that although they did not have Stud, all ten princes were present.

However, the military formation was not strict. Except for the soldiers under the banner with the word "horse" in the central army, they looked somewhat well-trained. The other troops were more like stragglers.

But Lin Mo knows very well that these guys are just like the Wuhuan cavalry under his command. It is difficult for them to skillfully use various military formations, but if you throw them on the battlefield, the bravery they show will definitely scare you. One jump.

"Zhao Yun, get out of here. Aren't you known as the most brave general in the North? How dare you come out to fight our young general!"

"Zhao Yun, get out of here, get out of here!"

"Zhao Yun, you cowardless bandit, come out and duel with the Major General!"

At the beginning, all kinds of unpleasant words came one after another, but they did not dare to get too close for fear of being shot by bows and arrows, but the place where the arrows were shot was enough for their insults to reach everyone's ears.

"That's Ma Chao." Zhao Yun, who also climbed up the watchtower, pointed to the man riding a white horse, wearing silver armor, and holding a spear outside.

"People say that Jin and Ma Chao are truly well-deserved." Lin Mo nodded and just watched Ma Chao riding his horse back and forth in front of the three armies.

This guy's attire is really similar to Zhao Yun's. Both of them have white horses and silver spears, and a sword on their waist. In terms of appearance, they both belong to the level of first-class handsome guys.

If I have to say something different, it is that Ma Chao does not wear a tasseled helmet, and his hair is tied up with a silver bridle ribbon, making him look very energetic.

"How sure are you if you are a general?" In fact, in Lin Mo's heart, Zhao Yun is truly second in the world, second only to his old father-in-law. However, judging from the battle report, he is actually the same as Ma Chao. After seven or eighty rounds, they were evenly matched.

"Within 120 rounds, I'm afraid it will be difficult to decide the outcome. His shooting skills are slightly inferior to mine, but his strength is superior to mine. In the end of the fight, I guess it will depend on who has stronger endurance and who reveals his flaws first.

If I have to say it, [-]%. "

Zhao Yun has never been a person who likes to boast, and even he said so. It seems that it is a bit difficult to defeat Ma Chao by fighting generals.Regarding endurance, Lin Mo really didn't dare to let them try.

Brother Yun can go in and out of Changban Slope seven times, and even carry Adou back. This endurance is naturally unparalleled.

But as for Renma Chao, he can fight Xu Chu for 230 rounds on the Weihe River, and he can fight Zhang Fei for 220 rounds at Jiameng Pass. This kind of endurance is also unparalleled in the world.

The biggest problem is that defeating Ma Chao does not actually have much strategic significance.

As far as Ma Chao's prestige in Liangdi is concerned, if Zhao Yun wins, it will indeed make the ten men and horses frightened, but it will also bring about another disadvantage, which may make the ten men and horses feel the crisis and become a rope.

Unless you can crush him, then you can play some tricks. Obviously, this is a bit difficult for Brother Yun.

"When the enemy's strength fades in the afternoon, can I go out to fight?" Zhao Yun asked Lin Mo for his opinion.

Lin Mo smiled slightly, but finally shook his head, "I believe you can win, but it's not necessary."

"Why?" Zhao Yun asked puzzled.

"During the Battle of Puyang, six generals of Cao's army came out to besiege my father-in-law. At Hulao Pass, Liu, Guan, and Zhang fought against my father-in-law."

After that, he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Except for Ma Chao, Pang De and Yan Xing are all top-notch masters among the ten tribesmen in Guanzhong. If they suddenly rush forward, I'm worried that you may not be able to get away. "

This doesn't sound good, but it's true.

Zhao Yun didn't know what level Pang De and Yan Xing were, and he didn't even know these two people, but he knew that Ma Chao was on the same level as him.

If they were fighting with him and two people suddenly came out, he would not be able to resist at all.

Of course, he also has senior brother Zhang Xiu by his side. The problem is that both Man Chong and Wei Yue are very strong in commanding troops, but their personal martial arts are barely second-rate, and they cannot share Zhao Yun's pressure at all.

This kind of thing was too risky, and Lin Mo didn't dare to take the risk.

Unless Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Yan Liang are all there, the situation will be different. Just open the village gate and go out to fight.

If Pang De and Yan Xing dared to help, there would be a fight between generals.

What's more, being brave and fierce is not what Lin Mo is good at. It's unwise to give up one's strength to one's shortcomings.

Let them make a fuss. It will affect the morale of the army, but it will not be fatal. It's almost time. If you turn Sima Lang's line out, you can also make some money back.

Just like that, the Xiliang army outside shouted at the top of their lungs, but Lin Mo inside stood still.

It was not until dusk that they retreated one after another. It seemed a bit messy, but Lin Mo was not ready to go out to pursue them. The enemy was strong and we were weak, so it was better to be honest.

Early the next morning, the Xiliang army came over again, and this time the number was obviously larger than last time.

He was the quintessence of Chinese culture as soon as he opened his mouth, no matter how rude he greeted him, even Man Chong covered his ears after hearing this. Wei Yue's violent temper almost made him kill before Zhao Yun could stop him.

Day three, day four.
By the fifth day, the Xiliang army became more and more unscrupulous, and even began to circle around the military camp and curse people. They were sure that the people in the stronghold did not dare to come out.

"The bastard just won't come out, you coward!" Pang De snorted coldly. He has been holding him back for the past few days. He has rehearsed it in his mind countless times. He is sure that as long as Zhao Yun dares to come out, once he fights with Ma Chao, , within ten rounds, either he will die under his own arrow or Ma Chao's gun.

But who would have thought that he could be so tolerant and refuse to come out even after scolding him for so many days.

"Haha, Meng Qi is so brave, let alone Zhao Yun. Even if they go to Pengcheng to invite Lu Bu, what will happen?" Cheng Yin laughed.

"Brother Cheng's words make sense. Meng Qiwan was born a few years ago. Otherwise, Lu Bu wouldn't have had the chance to show off his power when Hulao was locked up." Yang Qiu also agreed.

"I'm a bit young and still need some practice." Ma Teng said with a smile.

In fact, the princes from all walks of life certainly wanted to flatter Ma Chao, so that he could rush forward.

But in their hearts, Ma Chao is indeed almost invincible in their hearts.

And I have witnessed it with my own eyes. When it comes to fighting alone, it is impossible for anyone to be Ma Chao's opponent.

"Zhao Yun is a fierce general in the world and a man. It shouldn't be like this." Ma Chao muttered in confusion.

It's okay to be tough, but in his heart he knows that the other party's strength is definitely not inferior to his, so it's impossible to say he's afraid of him.

Why didn't he go out to fight? Could it be that he really didn't have a decent lieutenant around him to help, so he was worried about being beaten by us when he came out?
"How can this go on? Go to the military camp and take a look. Every one of the soldiers has their heads hanging down and their morale is low. We are humiliated by them every day without doing anything. If we come back tomorrow, just let me take the lead. Forget it if a group of cavalry charges for a while, even if you die in battle, you will be better than now!"

After retreating on the fifth day, Wei Yue could no longer suppress his inner anger and came to the Chinese army tent as if to vent the frustration accumulated in his heart.

It was okay for Man Chong. When he was in Jinyang City, he was much more desperate than this, and his morale did not collapse. What's more, Lin Mo was sitting in the middle army, so it was not so exaggerated.

In the final analysis, it was just Wei Yue who couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

"General Wei."

Lin Mo didn't even raise his head to look at him. He just wrote something on the desk, "Without my military order, you can't mobilize the troops."

"Actually, I think what General Wei said makes sense. We can't let them continue scolding us like this every day. After holding it in for so many days, they must also think that we don't dare to leave the stronghold. If we suddenly attack tomorrow, they may be allowed to Caught off guard.”

Wei Yue was one of the few generals left in the veteran team. He could vent as much as he wanted in front of Lin Mo, but Zhang Xiu didn't have the ability yet.

Although he was once a prince, he had been slowly getting used to being a general during the years he had stayed in Lu Ying.

"Senior brother, just follow Yunwen's instructions. Neither you nor I can make our own decisions." Zhao Yun weakly advised Zhang Xiu.

"Then I'll go alone!"

Wei Yue got mad and roared hysterically like a crazed lion, "I can't bear this kind of day anymore!"

"I said, anyone who leaves the stronghold without permission is disobeying military orders!" Lin Mo slapped the counter and shouted.

Wei Yue was different from Wei Xu. The latter was very successful but had little ability. However, Wei Yue's illustrious military achievements were all achieved by following his old father-in-law to bleed desperately on the battlefield. There was no nepotism at all.

Moreover, he does things well, but his temper is a bit too impatient.

If not, Lin Mo wouldn't tolerate his misbehavior again and again.

However, this hole cannot be opened. If he really leads people to kill, the matter will be out of control. Lin Mo does not believe that the Xiliang army has no deployment at all.

Now I am just receiving some bad words, which will have an impact on the morale of the army, but it is definitely not fatal. If you lead a group of cavalry and are wiped out, it will not be a joke. Lin Mo doesn’t know how many white horses he will kill. Only then can we stabilize the morale of the military.

Wei Yue suddenly turned around and looked directly at Lin Mo, clenching his fists so hard that his back molars were almost broken.

After holding it in for a while, it seemed like it was about to explode again. Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside the tent, which was quite loud.

what happened?

Everyone couldn't help but turn around and look, thinking it was the Xiliang army coming to attack at night.

Lin Mo even ran to the door of the Zhongjun tent, but when he listened carefully, there were cheers after cheers.

Listen carefully, someone is shouting 'win'.

While several people looked at each other in confusion, a familiar figure led the crowd to the Chinese military tent.

The person who came was holding a Fangtian painted halberd, riding a fiery red red rabbit horse, wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, and the animal face on the chest was ferocious and arrogant.

The shouts of 'must win' came from far and near, sweeping into a sound wave.

He walked to the Chinese army's tent, dismounted and glanced at everyone, "I heard that Ma Chao challenged me for five days in a row, but you are actually indifferent? You are quite tolerant."

"Marquis Wen!" Several people bowed their hands in excitement, and even Zhao Yun couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Master-in-law, why are you here?" After Lin Mo realized what he was doing, he ran over happily.

"Let's go in and talk." Lu Bu patted Lin Mo's shoulder, and led everyone into the tent amidst the shouts of the soldiers.

Some people are born to be the protagonists. Even if one person moves forward with his head held high, there will always be thousands of troops behind him.
