The Nameless of the Common Clans

When Yuan Shao got the news that Lv Bu had killed Wang Kuang, Lv Bu had already fled with his men.

"Too arrogant!" Yuan Shao was furious when he learned of his friend's death. He slammed the table and stood up, looking at the princes in the tent and said, "Lv Bu is cunning, who can capture and kill him?"

Although he knew that Lv Bu could fight, he had only met him for a short time. In Yuan Shao's eyes, Lv Bu was just a brave but foolish man, not to be feared. Who would have thought that Lv Bu would suddenly come out and kill him so painfully? Wang Kuang was Yuan Shao's friend and supporter. Now that Wang Kuang was dead, it was not just a simple loss of princes for Yuan Shao.

The princes were silent when they heard this. Although Lv Bu had few men and horses, they were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, just like the sudden attack on Wang Kuang this time, they would run away after hitting, and you couldn't catch up even if you wanted to.

"Mr. Yuan!" Gongsun Zan, who had just arrived, stood up and saluted Yuan Shao, saying: "Lv Bu's troops are only two thousand, but they are all cavalrymen who come and go like the wind. It is quite difficult to capture and kill them. I think we should lead the army across the river, break Chenggao and go straight to Luoyang!"

"Yes, we have been here for several months, but have not made any achievements. Now we are bullied by Lu Bu. If it gets out, how will people in the world see us?"

"Our army is now far stronger than Dong Zhuo, so why worry about not being able to defeat the enemy?"

Seeing the indignation of the crowd, Yuan Shao also nodded in agreement: "In this case, who can be the vanguard?"

The originally noisy big tent suddenly fell into a strange silence, and everyone looked at Yuan Shao at the same time.

As the actual leader of the alliance, at this time, the leader should do the work. If you don't do the work, why should you let others die for you?

Cao Cao wanted to step out of the line. Someone had to take the lead at this time, but Xi Zhicai pulled him back and shook his head imperceptibly. Cao Cao had already sent troops once and suffered heavy losses. At this time, Cao Cao could not be allowed to go no matter what.

Yuan Shao's face darkened. These people only wanted benefits and were unwilling to contribute at all.

Just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, he saw a general quickly walk in from outside the tent and bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "Mr. Yuan, news came from Chenggao. The Grand Tutor, the Grand Minister of Rites, and the Yuan family members in the capital were killed by Dong Zhuo's men yesterday morning. Now, the heads of the Grand Tutor and the Grand Minister of Rites have been hung on the Chenggao city wall!"

"What!?" Yuan Shao's face turned livid when he heard this. If he didn't kill them earlier, but killed them at this time, wouldn't it be like roasting him on the fire?

"If I don't take revenge, I will not be a man!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Who is willing to be the vanguard? As long as Chenggao can be conquered, I will recommend him to be the leader of the alliance!"

At this point, there is no time to worry about many things. Yuan Shao himself does not have much wealth, but if he wants the princes to mobilize troops, who will listen to him if there is no benefit?

Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Are you serious, Yuan Gong?"

Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "You are all here, you can be a witness!"

"Okay, I am willing to go!" Gongsun Zan was not vague either. After clasping his fists to Yuan Shao, he strode out of the tent, gathered his troops, and rushed straight to Chenggao.

Yuan Shao was worried that Gongsun Zan would be in trouble, so he ordered Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi to lead their troops to accompany him. Yuan Shao himself led the coalition forces to cross the river. Tao Qian and Han Fu occupied Ao Cang, and the rest followed Yuan Shao to prepare to attack Xingyang.

After several months of stationing troops in Suanzao, the 200,000-man coalition army finally set out. The news could not be concealed, and Dong Zhuo soon got the news.

Not only Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shu also sent troops from Liang County. He was faster and had already commanded his troops to attack Yique Pass. The next morning, an emergency document from Yique Pass came from Luoyang.

"Grandmaster, the coalition army led by Yuan Shao is the main force of the enemy army. Although Yuan Shu's offensive is fierce, his fierce general Sun Jian is dead, so he is not to be feared. You only need to order a general to garrison Yique Pass. However, in the direction of Chenggao, Yuan Shao's three armies are coming together, and they are arrogant. We should gather heavy troops to defend." After reading the battle report, Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo.

"Yique Pass?" Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Who is willing to guard Yique Pass?"

"Grandmaster, I am willing to go!" Chen Mo stepped forward and saluted Dong Zhuo. He had a falling out with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao was in a real war. It was not suitable for him to participate at this time. It would be better to go to Yique Pass to gain some military merits, which would also make Dong Zhuo trust him more.

"Grandmaster, I am willing to go too!" Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong stepped out of the line and saluted Dong Zhuo.

"It is rare that all three generals have this intention. Let Chen Mo be the main general, with your 8,000 soldiers and horses, and your army of 10,000 people to defeat the enemy. Hua Xiong can be the deputy general, and Hu Zhen will be the military supervisor." Dong Zhuo looked at the three and smiled.

Chen Mo has made a lot of efforts in the relocation of people during this period of time, and he also had the merit of killing Sun Jian before. Now Chen Mo personally asked for the order, and it was not easy to refuse. But Dong Zhuo did not trust Chen Mo, to be honest, so he sent Hu Zhen, who was somewhat at odds with him, as a military supervisor, which was also a check and balance on Chen Mo. As for letting Hu Zhen or Hua Xiong be the main general and Chen Mo assist them, that would not work. Now Chen Mo's position is comparable to the nine ministers, and he has many military exploits. Whether in terms of official title or reputation, he is not comparable to Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong.

There are 8,000 Xiliang troops accompanying him, plus Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong, two Xiliang generals, Chen Mo can't betray even if he wants to.

"I obey the order!" Chen Mo stood up, took the order, and left with Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong.

As for how Dong Zhuo arranges the defense in the direction of Chenggao, Chen Mo will not care for the time being. He will deal with Yuan Shu first, and then take care of things here.

After the three of them gathered their troops, they met outside Jinmen.

"Two generals, Yique Pass is in urgent need right now. We must rush to rescue as soon as possible. Please restrain the troops. We must rush to Yique Pass before tomorrow!" Chen Mo led a group of soldiers and looked at Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen said.

"Of course I should." Hua Xiong nodded. His relationship with Chen Mo was not good, but it wasn't too bad. Naturally, Chen Mo was the master of the Grand Master this time. Regarding Chen Mo's orders, as long as they were not too outrageous, he would not will object.

Hu Zhen just nodded and led his troops to leave. Chen Mo had made him lose face before, so naturally he would not look good with Chen Mo at this time.

"This person is so rude!" Dian Wei frowned and looked at the direction Hu Zhen left, with an angry look on his face.

"Let's go, it's important to hurry up." Chen Mo shook his head and signaled Dian Weimo to say more. He and Hua Xiong each led their troops and went straight to Yique Pass.

After two days of fighting at Yique Pass, Yuan Shu attacked fiercely and had elite soldiers and generals under his command. After two days, the defenders at Yique Pass were already somewhat inadequate. If this continued, even those who were exhausted would be killed by Yuan Shu.

When I heard that reinforcements were coming, I immediately greeted them personally.

"General Yang Ding, the general guarding Yique Pass, meets General Chen!" Yang Ding naturally recognized Chen Mo. Chen Mo had passed by him when he made a circle in Yingchuan before.

"General Yang, there is no need to be polite!" Chen Mo took Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen into the city. He looked at the city full of wounded and said, "General Hu, send some people to the city to replace the defenders and let these soldiers have a good rest." "

"General, the general's soldiers have also driven all the way, and they are already exhausted. The general is so kind, why not let the general's men go to the city to defend the enemy?" Hu Zhen replied casually.

"You dare to disobey military orders!?" Dian Wei had long disliked Hu Zhen. Hearing this, his eyes widened and the two iron halberds fell into his hands.

"Crash~" A group of personal guards behind Hu Zhen immediately stepped forward to protect Hu Zhen.

Hua Xiong also stopped in front of everyone and said to Chen Mo: "General, don't get angry."

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Han Kai!"

"The general is here!" Han Kai took a step forward and bowed.

"Lead your troops to the city, take over the defense of the city defenders, let the defenders rest, and find all the doctors you can find to treat the injured soldiers!" Chen Mo glanced at Hu Zhen and said to Han Kai.

"General, take your orders!" Han Kai agreed, glared at Hu Zhen, and strode away.

"General Yang, make arrangements for injuries and come see me later!" Chen Mo looked at Yang Ding and said.

Yang Ding agreed, but secretly complained in his heart. In the face of this powerful enemy, why did the reinforcements seem to have conflicts within them?

Chen Mo arranged for the people to rest again. After assigning everyone's stations, he took Dian Wei and others to the meeting hall.

Along the way, Dian Wei complained dissatisfiedly: "My lord, why didn't you let me kill that Hu Zhen just now? This man obviously disobeyed military orders."

"Except for our more than 3,000 troops, almost all the Xiliang troops here are Xiliang troops. You said you just killed Hu Zhen, will these Xiliang troops listen to me?" Chen Mo shook his head and said: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan. As for Hu Zhen, there are many opportunities to deal with it, but not now!”

"But I get angry when I see him!" Dian Wei said gloomily.

"Me too, let's not talk about this. Let's discuss things first and see how this battle should be fought?" Chen Mo nodded as he walked.

Since leaving the city, Hu Zhen has been tit for tat with him. Chen Mo doesn't like this kind of person very much, but the other party has a lot of troops in his hands.

When Chen Mo brought Dian Wei to the meeting hall, Yang Ding and Hua Xiong were already there. Hu Zhen sat lazily in the position where Chen Mo should have been, but did not say anything when Chen Mo arrived.

Did you kick your nose into your face?

Chen Mo walked straight to Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen frowned and looked at Chen Mo, but Chen Mo kicked him away without saying a word.

"Chen Mo, you..."

"How?" Dian Wei took a step forward and looked down at Hu Zhen.

"General Hu, I am the commander-in-chief of this army. You are also a veteran general. Don't keep doing things that bring shame on yourself." Chen Mo sat on the main seat with a golden sword, without even looking at Hu Zhen. Yang Ding said to the side: "General Yang, tell me about the war in the past few days. How many soldiers and horses does Yuan Shu have? With the strength of Yique Pass, he asked for help so quickly?"

"Back to the general, Yuan Shu's attack is quite fierce this time." Yang Ding smiled bitterly and said: "We have all kinds of siege equipment, and we also sent people to the mountains on both sides to shoot arrows into the city. It is really difficult to resist, and he also has many powerful generals under his command. He is not afraid of death, and one of the young generals is even more brave. He has scaled the city wall several times and killed many of our soldiers!"
