The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 261 Seizing Power

Xu Huang withdrew decisively. Although Chen Mo ordered people to pursue him, Xu Huang had already ordered people to notify Yang Ping to come for reinforcements. They bypassed Xu Huang's defeated army and came to attack Chen Mo. When Chen Mo saw this, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, but Yang Ping couldn't bite him. Let go, even though Xu Huang's side was safe and started calling for gold, Yang Ping ignored it and kept chasing Chen Mo's soldiers and horses.

"My lord, the last general invites you to fight!" Dian Wei was furious. He had obviously won, but who was next? Are you still fighting after winning the gold medal? How did Xu Huang become the emperor? Now he asked Chen Mo for orders.

"Okay, you can go with one of your troops to help our army return to camp, but remember, you can't fight with them, just protect the army from returning to camp." Chen Mo looked at the pursuer with bright eyes and groped his chin. While laughing.

"Why..." Dian Wei saw Chen Mo glance over, sighed, and silently saluted: "General, take your orders!"

At that moment, he led his men and horses out of the camp and protected the army back to the camp. Yang Ping wanted to pursue him again, but was forced back by the arrows fired from the camp, and then he slowly retreated.

"Lord, why don't you let me kill that thief general?" Dian Wei came back and said angrily. Just looking at the formation, Yang Ping is not a good leader, although Dian Wei is not a master in this regard. , but after following Chen Mo for such a long time, whenever there was an opportunity, Chen Mo would explain the local intention to his generals, how to judge the opponent's level through the opponent's military formation, and the level of the generals who would pursue him later. Dian Wei knew it well.

Chen Mo waved his hand to signal him to calm down, then looked at Cheng Fang and other generals and said, "Do you know who the general who intercepted our army was?"

A general said uncertainly: "It seems to be Yang Ping, a younger brother of the Yang Feng clan. This person is mediocre in ability and not a strong general."

Most of the generals under Chen Mo's command are the former Baibo thieves. Naturally, they know the generals under Yang Feng better than Chen Mo.

"Yang Ping?" Chen Mo nodded and said: "I have heard of this person, a younger brother of the Yang Feng clan. His ability cannot be said to be mediocre, but he is just not as good as Xu Huang. But looking at it today, although Xu Huang is the chief general, this person does not seem to be the best." I’m so convinced!”

"My Lord, I don't know." Cheng Fang smiled and said, "Yang Ping is a younger brother of Yang Feng. Before Yang Feng recruited Xu Huang, he was the most powerful general under Yang Feng. Later, after recruiting Xu Huang, Yang Ping's military power was continuously weakened. ”

Dian Wei frowned when he heard this: "It doesn't make sense. Since Yang Ping is a clan brother and a close confidant, even if Xu Huang is capable, Xu Huang should not be allowed to overpower him."

This is common sense. Don't talk about using people as relatives. People in power still prefer to use people who are close to them.

"That means Yang Ping has violated a taboo." Chen Mo said with a smile: "And Xu Huang is indeed capable, but now that Yang Ping is the deputy general, it is enough to show that Yang Feng is now suspicious of Xu Huang."

It was rare that Dian Wei could see the key thing. Chen Mo was very relieved that he had not taught anything in vain. He thought for a while and said: "The key to winning this battle lies with Yang Ping."

"Lord!" Bao Geng came in from outside the tent, saluted Chen Mo, and said solemnly: "There are soldiers and horses from Pingtao County on the other side of the river. It seems that Pingtao County has surrendered to Yang Feng."

"It doesn't matter, defeat Xu Huang first. Once Xu Huang is defeated, Pingtao County has nothing to fear!" Chen Mo nodded. If this situation was not good for him before, but now, seeing an opportunity to defeat the enemy, as long as Xu Huang is defeated, If these troops are shaken, Yang Feng's strategy of surrounding three buildings will fail.

"My lord, have you got a plan?" Dian Wei and others' eyes lit up when they heard this. Chen Mo was getting married soon and there was no time to waste it here.

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Yang Ping wins this battle and Xu Huang loses. Xu Huang's prestige in the army will definitely be frustrated. Remember, if we encounter Xu Huang in the next few days, we will show off every move and fight with him. He fought fiercely, but when he met Yang Ping, he retreated. If he couldn't avoid it, he would fight with this person, and he would lose but not win!"

"How can anyone intentionally lose a battle?" Dian Wei said speechlessly when he heard this.

"That's because you don't study well. I ask you to read more military books on weekdays. This is called false defeat." Chen Mo glared at Dian Wei and said.

When Dian Wei heard this, he shut up instantly. It was impossible to study. The painful experience of copying books last time was definitely the most miserable moment in his life.

"Master, do you want to help Yang Ping establish his prestige and surpass Xu Huang?" Cui Geng, who had just returned, said with a smile.

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Twice in a row, our army was able to defeat Xu Huang, all because of cleverness, but it is not a long-term solution. Our army is not united. Although we are strong, we are united. If we force the war, it will be Even if we can win, we will win miserably. If we fight normally, we will win with With the current morale of our army, I am afraid that the best outcome is to retreat to Jingling. However, the disagreement between Lieutenant General and Lieutenant General Xu Huang has given our army the possibility of defeating Xu Huang. As long as Yang Ping can overwhelm Xu Huang, it is best to defeat Xu Huang. If you squeeze out of the military camp, you will win this battle!"

Yang Ping is much worse than Xu Huang. No matter what, Xu Huang's side has already called gold on the battlefield today, but Yang Ping still doesn't listen to orders. Only for this reason, this person lacks a lot in the overall situation, let alone continuous Both Dian and Wei could see that Yang Ping led his troops in disarray and was not as capable of giving orders and prohibitions as Xu Huang.

After hearing this, all the generals took orders and returned to their camps.

On the other side, at Xu Huang's camp, looking at Yang Ping who had returned in triumph, Xu Huang's face was as serious as water and he said: "Yang Ping, why doesn't Ming Jin retreat?"

"Why are you retreating?" Yang Ping looked at Xu Huang with some disdain and said: "I thought you had some skills and didn't want to lose consecutive battles. If I hadn't rescued you in time today, you would have been defeated by Chen Mo. Then Chen Mo's subordinates are just a group of just The rabble that surrendered was defeated in one blow, but you were defeated twice by such a rabble. It seems that General Gongming's ability is nothing more than this."

"Take it!" Xu Huang's face became even more gloomy, not because of Yang Ping's words, but because of what Yang Ping revealed. He was trying to seize power. After two fights, no one knew Chen Mo's abilities better than Xu Huang. The reason why Yang Ping can come back safely now is not because Yang Ping is very capable, but because Chen Mo has seen his own weakness and deliberately let Yang Ping back, so Yang Ping must win now!

"Who dares!?" Yang Ping took out a tiger charm from his arms, looked at the crowd coldly and said, "Do you recognize this?"

Xu Huang stood up suddenly and looked at the tiger talisman in Yang Ping's hand, his face became even more ugly. This was Yang Feng's homemade tiger talisman. Once the tiger talisman came out, it was second only to Yang Feng in Yang Feng's army. Generally, even the leading generals could not It was given easily, but it was not in Xu Huang's hands, but now it appears in Yang Ping's hands. It is not difficult to guess its meaning. Yang Feng was guarding him from the beginning!

Looking at Xu Huang's face, Yang Ping sneered: "My lord is indeed worried, do you still want to take me?"

After saying that, he looked at the generals and said: "Xu Huang has no way of commanding his troops and has been defeated one after another. From now on, by the order of the lord, I will be the vanguard general, and Xu Huang will assist me. Do you have any objections?"

After hearing this, all the generals looked at each other in confusion. After hesitating for a moment, someone stood up and bowed to Yang Ping and said, "I will see you at last, General!"

Before the battle, with Xu Huang's military prowess, even if Yang Ping had the Tiger Talisman, he might not be able to seize power. But now, Xu Huang has been defeated by Chen Mo in a row, and Yang Ping has made contributions in the first battle, so the generals will naturally trust Xu Huang. Lowered, seeing someone taking the lead, although some still supported Xu Huang, most of the generals chose to pay homage to Yang Ping.

"Brother Gongming, this is the Lord's order!" Yang Ping looked at Xu Huang and said with a bit of pride in his smile: "Is it possible that Brother Gongming wants to disobey the order?"

Xu Huang took a deep breath and sighed: "The last general takes command!"

"Immediately declare a challenge to Chen Mo. I will have a showdown with him tomorrow!" Yang Ping smiled proudly: "Let Brother Gongming know how to fight this battle!"

Xu Huang felt a stone blocking his chest and silently saluted, "General, if you feel unwell, please go back to camp to rest."

"Don't forget to go out with me tomorrow!" Yang Ping looked at Xu Huang's appearance, feeling happy and laughing.

Xu Huang paused, nodded silently and said: "Don't worry, general, I will go eventually."

Before the sky darkened completely, Chen Mo received Yang Ping's letter of challenge. Although he thought that Yang Ping would take the opportunity to seize power, and even prepared to lose a few games to lure Yang Ping to seize power, he did not expect it to be so fast.

"Lord, is there any fraud?" The generals were summoned again. Looking at the letter of war sent by Yang Ping, Cui Geng wondered. He was worried that this was Xu Huang's trick. On the surface, he let Yang Ye lead the troops. In fact, But it was to lure Chen Mo to send troops.

"Probably not." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Unless he had already thought that he would be defeated today and asked Yang Ping to cheat and disobey orders, otherwise even if Xu Huang had this intention, Yang Ping might not cooperate."

"Then this letter of challenge..." Cui Geng stepped forward and handed the letter of challenge back to Chen Mo.

"Of course I have to respond. There is no sure win in the war. Leave two thousand soldiers to guard the camp, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me on the expedition." Chen Mo smiled and nodded. It was basically certain that Yang Ping had seized power. Chen Mo even looked at the changes in luck. , in this case, even if there is a risk of being overturned, it is still worth a try. Of course, the second move must be done well.

"Send someone to send him a reply and tell him that he will fight after the morning meal tomorrow." Chen Mo said with a smile: "The generals will go back and send orders to each camp. I will go out to fight at noon."

"This..." Cui Geng was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Mo and said: "My lord, if this is a promise of war, if this is a breach of promise..."

If Chen Mo doesn't agree, then it's Chen Mo's business how to fight. If he agrees to the letter of challenge but breaks his promise, it will damage Chen Mo's reputation if word spreads.

"I only said after breakfast, noon is also after breakfast. When will you break your promise?" Chen Mo asked back.

Cui Geng had followed Chen Mo for a long time, and he immediately understood Chen Mo's reply. He nodded with a smile and said: "General, I understand, so I will send someone to reply to the letter!"

All the generals in the tent looked at each other, could this battle be fought like this?

Dian Wei couldn't help but said: "My lord, you are too..."

It doesn't seem to be in line with his position to say that he is sinister and cunning, but why do his hands feel itchy when he looks at Chen Mo's smiling face?

"In war, the purpose is to protect yourself while attacking the enemy as much as possible. Is that wrong?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

"That's right~" Dian Wei sighed: "The general just feels a little sorry for Yang Ping."

"Then write a memorial for him." Chen Mo stood up and said with a smile.

"Somehow, I suddenly feel that this person deserves to die!" Dian Wei Surong said.

"Hahaha~"

The originally solemn atmosphere in the tent suddenly became joyful.
