The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Lord, enemy traces have been found in Hu County. Li Jue's army should have bypassed Hu County." In Chang'an, the former General's Mansion has become Chen Mo's temporary government office. Han Kai quickly walked in and bowed to Chen Mo.

"Hu County?" Chen Mo pointed at the map and found the location of Hu County. He nodded and said, "Let's explore again!"

"Here~" Han Kai bowed, said goodbye and left.

Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and smiled: "Li Jue is not stupid. He did not go to Feng Yi to defect to Hua Xiong. Now it seems that he wants to defect to Guo Si."

"The Huxian area is near the Ziwu Valley. If Li Jue leads his army into the Ziwu Valley, they can directly enter Hanzhong." Zhang Ji, who was recalled to Chang'an by Chen Mo, bowed and said.

Li Ru shook his head: "The road in Ziwu Valley is difficult, more than 600 miles away. If Li Jue really walks here, the food and grass will not be enough for so many people."

It can be said that defecting to Guo Si is Li Jue's only way now. Of course, if he is willing to give up his power and only bring a few elites into Hanzhong, there is nothing he can do. Before Guanzhong is determined, Chen Mo cannot devote his energy to Hanzhong.

Chen Mo groped his chin, Li Jue was about to leave, and it was really hard to stop him now. He had a Xiliang cavalry in his hand. If they really fought in the wild, Dalang would probably suffer a loss even if he caught up. Now it seems that there is no way to stop Li Guo. Join forces again.

"Guo Si now occupies Fufeng, and his troops are well-prepared..." Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and said, "Does the military counselor have a plan to quickly defeat Guo Si and welcome back the emperor?"

Li Ru thought: "Now that Huaili and Huxian have been defeated, Guo Bin must be vigilant. It may not be easy to fight quickly now. My lord can join forces with General Hua Xiong and attack Fufeng from two directions."

It is no secret that Hua Xiong secretly took refuge with Chen Mo, otherwise Chen Mo's troops would not have appeared in Chang'an City silently.

Chen Mo nodded. Hua Xiong can indeed mobilize now. He has 10,000 Xiliang troops. Hua Xiong joins them. In addition to the surrender troops of Li Ying and Li Huan who had previously surrendered, as well as the surrender troops of Chang'an and Zhang Ji, Chen Mo The Xiliang army under his command now totals 50,000. In terms of military strength, Chen Mo is not afraid even if Li Guo joins forces now.

"Pass our military order and order Wu Yi to stop pursuing Li Jue, lead his army to Hu County, and cooperate with our main army to attack Fufeng." After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo looked at the generals and said: "Cui Geng stayed in Chang'an, and Li Ru was responsible for the military food supply. Bai Piao and Han Kai will help defend the city, Zhang Ji, Bao Geng, Wang Biao, and Zheng Tu will accompany me on the expedition. In addition..."

Chen Mo looked at Zhang Jidao and said, "I would like to appoint Jia Xu as my military advisor, and ask him to come as soon as possible to accompany me on the expedition."

Jia Xu is still accompanying Zhang Xiu in Xinfeng. Chen Mo hopes that Jia Xu will come under his command to make suggestions for him, not to let him hide behind the scenes.

"Well, I'll send you this letter to invite Wen He to come over." Zhang Ji quickly bowed.

"Generals, go and reorganize the army. Wen You will raise food and grass as soon as possible and be ready to send troops at any time." Chen Mo said loudly.

"General, take your orders!" All the generals agreed and left to organize their troops.

After the generals left, Chen Mo sat alone behind the desk, frowning and looking at the map of Guanzhong. There should be no omissions. Why did he have a bad feeling?

Luck has not changed much. In this expedition, the most important thing is to see the change in occupation. Luck has not changed. It can only be said that there will not be too many twists and turns in this expedition. But whether we can win the battle can be predicted. Not yet. To put it bluntly, this change of luck is timely, just like on the chessboard. It can only calculate the good or bad of one move. It is impossible to win the chess game by relying on it alone.

Chen Mo deduced it again carefully. Now that Li Jue has not yet joined Guo Si, military rations are a problem, and Da Lang is hanging on the side, so nothing will happen.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo didn't see anything wrong, so he could only give up now and leave the rest until he faces the enemy.

…

On the other side, Li Jue and Cao Cao have led their troops to bypass Hu County and go to Yi County.

"Lord, this is the news. Now that Chen Mo has captured Chang'an, Li Jue is now alone. It seems that he wants to join forces with Guo Si again." In Cao Cao's military tent, Xiahou Dun has been coming from there in the past few days. After recounting the information he had obtained, he looked at Cao Cao and said, "Are we going to follow Li Jue to join Guo Si like this?"

Cao Cao shook his head, stroking his chin and said: "Bo Dao was really decisive in taking action. If it is true, then Hua Xiong and Xu Rong are probably on Bo Dao's side. Otherwise, how could Ma Teng and Han Sui I will sit back and watch this melee in the pass and ignore it. "Yes?" Few people in the Xiliang Army may know, but Cao Cao knows that Xu Rong was captured alive by Chen Mo, and then there was no news, and he returned to Chang'an after more than half a year. If Xu Rong had nothing to do with Chen Mo, he would be beaten to death. Cao Cao didn't believe it.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Chen Mo to be so powerful. In just a short time, he beat Li Jue to the point where he could hardly stand." Xiahou Dun didn't think Chen Mo was powerful before, but now it seems that he still underestimated this kid. No wonder Even Cao Cao attaches great importance to it.

"I can't control the situation in Guanzhong." Cao Cao shook his head and said: "It seems that Bo Dao will win Guanzhong now. Even if Li Jue and Guo Si join forces, they have lost the opportunity at this time."

"Brother..." Xiahou Dun hesitated and looked at Cao Cao.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here." Cao Cao said with amusement as he saw Xiahou Dun hesitate to speak.

"Here!" Xiahou Dun nodded and said in a deep voice: "I thought that Chen Mo could not be allowed to win Guanzhong so easily, otherwise, he would be our army's formidable enemy in the future!"

"Do you think I would care about my feelings and not help Li Jue and Guo Si?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and said with a smile.

Xiahou Dun didn't say anything, but he obviously thought so.

"Don't worry." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Whether it's me or Bo Dao, if there is a chance to kill the other party, I will never show mercy, but you have to understand why we came to Guanzhong this time?"

"Emperor!" Xiahou Dun nodded.

"Yes, we only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses. I don't want to lose them and have to deal with Liu Biao when we return. Therefore, once we intervene in the Guanzhong battle, we are likely to be held back. If Bo Daoru finds out that I appear in On the battlefield, I am afraid that the road to Wuguan will be blocked immediately, cutting off our retreat." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and said: "Sneak around Guo Si, find an opportunity to get the emperor, and run away. Don't think about fighting, we are here to steal. Human!"

"Uh..." Xiahoudun touched his nose. That was true, but it still felt strange. After thinking about it, Xiahoudun said, "But we don't know where the emperor is that day. How can we welcome the emperor?"

"That's a good question." Cao Cao smiled and said, "Even if he knew, Guo Bang wouldn't let us get close to the emperor easily, so we have to find someone to help!"

"Who can help me wait?" Xiahou Dun asked doubtfully.

"I think Zhao Cen is good. Although he is still following Li Jue, he now has the intention of defecting to Guo Si." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"You're carrying me on my back, you little man!" Xiahou Dun snorted coldly.

"You, don't be fooled by the loyalty thing." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "How can there be so many loyal people in this world? When people are poor, even dogs will hate them, so how can we be loyal? We want He is a useful person. This Zhao Cen is good. How close you are to him will depend on whether you can steal the emperor. "

"How to get close?" Xiahou Dun said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Complain to him about Li Jue's stinginess, and also tell him how to defect to Guo Si so that he can quickly gain trust from Guo Si." Cao Cao chuckled and said, "This is not difficult. Don't worry too much about face. All you need to do is We know that this person is of great use to us. When we see Guo Si, if we ask him to lead the cavalry directly, Guo Si will be happy to accept it. "

Xiahou Dun nodded and said, "I'll try."

"Go." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Remember what I said, smile, don't lose face, you have to learn to be brothers with people you hate."

Xiahou Dun put a stiff smile on his face and stood up to say goodbye.

Cao Cao shook his head. This kind of thing is about talent. In this regard, he admired Chen Mo more. As long as it was useful, Chen Mo could talk about the past and the present with anyone. Even if he taught him, Xiahou Dun probably wouldn't be able to learn this. He can only rely on himself to realize it.
