“.......”
The few of them looked at each other. They did not expect that their attitude would still be so unyielding after taking out Chen Wen's document.
He stared at Lin Chen and asked with a serious expression,
"Could it be that Lord Lin wants to disobey the orders of the Provincial Governor?”
Hearing Cao Cao's words, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's handsome face as he said casually,"
"The provincial governor does have the authority to supervise the prefect, but he does not have the authority to order the prefect.”
"If he wants to punish me for not allowing you to recruit soldiers in Lujiang, he can report it to the Imperial Court and remove me, Lin Chen, from my official position.”
"Or perhaps, Lord Cao can give it a try and personally help the Provincial Governor capture this Lin?”
Lin Chen's voice was still unhurried. He lowered his voice as he looked at Cao Cao again.
Cao Cao raised his head slightly and met Lin Chen's gaze.
In an instant, Cao Cao had an answer.
Lin Chen was not someone Chen Wen could intimidate.
The bearded man smiled brightly.
"Hahaha, I was just joking. I, Cao Cao, appreciate the heroes of the world. Lord Lin is young and promising, and has an extraordinary bearing.”
"Since there are no soldiers to recruit in Lujiang, I'll wait for other places to recruit.”
"It's just that…I still have a few questions. I wonder if Lord Lin is willing to answer them?”
"Just say it!"
If they really wanted to fight, Lin Chen wasn't afraid at all.
His current martial strength was no longer what it was in the past. The 216 Tiger Guards were all well-trained, and there was also Dian Wei who had participated in the special training. He was enough to face any powerful enemy.
"Is this city defense reform really from Daren's hands?”
Cao Cao's gaze was still sizing up Lin Chen's handsome face, hoping to get some useful information from it, but it did not.
Obviously, even though Cao Cao could tell that Lin Chen had an extraordinary bearing, he was still unwilling to believe that such a city defense reform was actually thought up by a 20-year-old kid.
Furthermore, Lin Chen's previous reputation was indeed not good. In front of Cao Cao, Lin Chen was like a huge mystery. What he saw today completely overturned Cao Cao's understanding of Lu River.
Although he did not know what Cao Cao was thinking, there was nothing to hide.
"It's just some strange ideas. I'm afraid Lord Cao won't take them seriously.”
"With this city defense registration and identity token as a pass, it will probably take a few months for Lord Lin to grasp the situation of all the people in Lujiang.”
"This move can understand the people's feelings and improve public security. It's killing two birds with one stone. If this doesn't enter my eyes, then I'm afraid my standards are too high.”
Although he already had an answer in his heart, he was still shocked when Lin Chen admitted it.
It was hard to imagine that these things were really thought of by a young man in his early twenties.
Lin Chen was still indifferent." It's just for convenience.”
After regaining his senses, Cao Cao asked a second question,
"There is a second question. Is Lord Lin going to the Chen Liu Alliance Meeting?”
As soon as Cao Cao said this, Dian Wei and the City Defense Army behind Lin Chen turned their gazes over. Clearly, Lin Chen had never revealed whether he wanted to go and attack Dong Zhuo.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Lin Chen's eyebrows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"May I know when Lord Cao is preparing to head to the alliance meeting?”
These days, he had been worrying about the exact time the dukes would start the discussion.
It was useless to go early. It would also delay the development of Lujiang.
If they were late, they would not miss anything. Every time they missed a famous battle, they would lose countless faith points.
Now, Cao Cao had come to his doorstep. After confirming the time for Cao Cao to participate in the alliance meeting, wouldn't Lin Chen be able to arrange his own time?
Cao Cao was also slightly stunned. He didn't expect Lin Chen to suddenly ask him a question and tell him the truth.
"The day before yesterday, Yuan Benchu sent a letter, preparing to make a blood oath with us on the second day of the second month to discuss the great plan.”
Lin Chen understood. The second day of February, that left him with plenty of time.
"This Cao has a suggestion. Would Lord Lin be willing to hear it?”
Hearing that Lin Chen was also going to take part in the debacle, Cao Cao's eyes became even more fiery.
"Oh?"
Lin Chen asked suspiciously," What suggestion does Lord Cao have?”
"I will go to the other counties to recruit soldiers first. After the recruitment is over, I will meet up with Lord Lin. At that time, the two of us will join forces and head to the alliance meeting together.”
Hearing Cao Cao's suggestion, the smile on Lin Chen's face grew wider. Indeed, the rulers of the three kingdoms all relied on deception. He had thought that Liu Bei was already good enough, but he did not expect Cao Cao to be so good.
"What good will it do me to join forces with you?”
Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry to refuse. He wanted to hear what Cao Cao had to say.
"He's trying to get his position in the Dong army!”
"Oh?"
Lin Chen was suspicious again. He could roughly guess what Cao Cao was going to say.
"Although I couldn't kill Dong Zhuo, everyone knows that I assassinated Dong Zhuo. If I go to the alliance meeting, I will definitely have a place in the alliance army.”
"That's right."
Lin Chen replied appropriately.
"As far as I know, Lord Lin's reputation isn't that good, right? As far as I know, this position of Lujiang Prefecture should have been bought by your father from the imperial court, right?”
Lin Chen nodded and did not interrupt Cao Cao.
