The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 542: Dispatching troops

When the news that Lulong Stronghold was broken and Bao Geng died in battle and was beheaded and hung in public in Lulong Stronghold came back to Luoyang, Chen Mo was taking Zhao Yun to talk to Lu Bu about border matters.

"Bang~" The exquisite wine glass was pressed hard on the table by Chen Mo. Especially when he heard that Bao Geng was beheaded and hung on the tower for public display, Chen Mo felt a rush of anger rushing into his head. For the first time in his life, he almost lost his mind.

"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!" Chen Mo pressed hard and stood up.

"Lord, Bu invites you to fight!" Lu Bu stood up and said coldly.

"Well, I will conquer Karasuma myself for this battle!" Chen Mo nodded, looked at Dian Wei and said, "I ordered someone to inform the ministers to go to court. First, please make preparations and follow me to court."

Lu Bu is now a general of the guards. His status above the imperial court is only below that of the Three Dukes. In terms of official position, he is considered to be the military commander second only to Chen Mo.

An hour later, in the Jiade Hall.

Liu Neng looked at Chen Mo and said with a look of reluctance: "The general has just returned from the expedition to Jizhou. He has not had much rest yet. Now he is about to go on another expedition. The court does not have the general here, so I feel uneasy."

"Your Majesty, with the help of the three princes in the court, as well as the help of Wenyou and Gongda, I will be safe." Chen Mo frowned and bowed.

"That's not what I meant." Liu Neng shook his head, and after a moment, he looked at Chen Mo and said, "General, now that the world is falling apart, it is already uneasy. I know that Bao Geng is a close confidant of the general, and now it is only because of the personal grudge of the general. , It is quite unwise to provoke the barbarians without any reason.”

"What your Majesty said is true!" Zhang You, the great general, said calmly: "General, since your Majesty entered Luoyang, the general has been aggressive in military affairs, conquered and conquered violently. He has always been good at starting wars, and now he has even provoked border wars. If this continues, the great Han will surely perish!"

Chen Mo turned his head, glanced at Zhang You, then at Liu Neng, and suddenly smiled: "Does your Majesty think so too?"

"This..." Liu Neng smiled awkwardly: "Zhang Qing may have been a little fierce with his words, but in the end it is for the good of the court."

"For the sake of the imperial court?" Chen Mo glanced at Zhang You and said, "Does Dahonglu know where Lulong Village is?"

"It's the Border Fortress." Zhang You naturally knew about Lulong Village, but he only knew that as for its importance... it was found in books and he could recite it, but it was difficult for him to say how important it was.

"Lulong Village is the fortress that defends Karasuma. If the Karasuma people want to invade the south in a big way, Lulong Village is the place they must pass through. Once Lulong Village is broken, the Karasuma people will rush in like water from a bursting embankment. Entering Liaoxi, Yuyang and other places, hundreds of thousands of people were robbed at dawn, do you call this a personal grudge?" Chen Mosen's cold eyes fell on Zhang You.

"This..." Zhang You was speechless.

"You have been eating all day long and don't know the importance of military aircraft. Why do you have the face to talk nonsense here?" Chen Mo took a step towards Zhang You: "It's so big that you need to negotiate with foreign envoys. You don't even know why our army's border fortress is important." , how did you get the position of Da Honglu? I am afraid that you will betray the country and not even know about it."

"You..." Zhang You glared at Chen Mo. Although Chen Mo had always been in charge of power, Chen Mo was gentle in his treatment of others and rarely acted in such an aggressive manner. Now Chen Mo was suddenly so fierce. Although there was no anger or ferocity in his eyes, it was just like this. His face fell, but all the civil and military officials in the court, including strong men like Lu Bu, felt depressed and did not dare to look directly at him, let alone Zhang You, a scholar who was speechless just by being looked at by Chen Mo. .

"Your Majesty, Da Honglu is related to the state, and you should know honor and disgrace. People like these who have no shame, I think that if they continue to hold the position of Da Honglu, it will really harm the face of our great man. I think that we should choose another wise man! Chen Mo turned around and saluted Liu Neng: "Your Majesty, please depose Zhang You Dahonglu!"

"General, it won't happen~" Liu Neng's face was a little stiff.

"The Three Dukes and the Nine Ministers are the examples of virtue in the imperial court. How can such people with no virtue and incompetence be able to take on the important responsibilities of the Nine Ministers?" Chen Mo said calmly: "Please give me an edict!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!" Li Ru came out and bowed.

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!" Lu Bu took a step forward and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!" Man Chong came out and bowed.

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!" More and more people came out, asking Liu Neng to issue an edict to abolish Zhang You's post as Da Honglu. As for other courtiers, they finally saw it this time. Chen Mo was using Zhang You to establish his power. This time It seemed that Chen Mo had to go to the north to conquer Wuwan. Faced with Zhang You's look for help, a group of courtiers looked at him.

If you want to stop me, find a good reason. Why are you imposing excessive taxes? These are troubled times, brother, Chen Mo is fine.

As for going militarily... Even if it is, what can you do? The imperial court was founded by Chen Mo. The current territory of the imperial court was conquered by others. Normally, Chen Mo would not care about you because he was polite. But if you say it in public now, it is just a slap in the face. At this time, who Dare to persuade?

"Your Majesty, please issue an edict!" Chen Mo saluted Liu Neng again.

"What do you think, Captain?" Liu Neng looked at Yang Biao with difficulty.

The corner of Yang Biao's mouth twitched. This matter had nothing to do with him, but Liu could only say it when he named him. He immediately bowed and said: "I think that what Da Honglu said is indeed inappropriate. As for how to deal with it, It’s all up to Your Majesty.”

"Then..." Liu Neng sighed. Chen Mo's courtesy to him on weekdays really made Liu Neng feel that he could make the decision in the court. But now when there were differences of opinion, Liu Neng could see that nothing had changed at all. From the beginning to the end, this Chen Mo has the final say in the court. Asking yourself is to give yourself face.

He looked at Da Honglu and said: "Zhang Aiqing, it seems that you are really not suitable for this position, why not..."

"If not, I will go with the army this time, and let him see how the neighboring countries he mentioned treat the people of our Han Dynasty, and see if this expedition to Wuhuan is wrong!" Chen Mo said calmly.

"Just follow the general's words." Liu Neng glanced at Zhang You, whose face was pale, and sighed. Even if he didn't know the hardships of the north, he knew that the war was cruel. It was still unclear whether Zhang You could come back with the army.

But who can be blamed for this?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. In this case, I will prepare for the expedition." Chen Mo saluted Liu Neng.

"That's great. The expedition will be decided by the general. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave the court." Liu Neng felt a little tired. A great herald who stood on his side was gone, and he couldn't say anything.

At that moment, the ministers left the court, and Chen Mo took Lu Bu, Xun You, Xu Shu, Li Ru, Yang Xiu and others back to the general's mansion.

In the main hall, Gao Shun and others also arrived one after another.

"My lord, although this expedition is inevitable, we must guard the rear." Li Ruzui said.

Although Chen Mo has the upper hand now, this is not obvious, just like Yuan Shao in the past, he also had the upper hand, what would be the result? If he is not careful at this time, I am afraid Cao Cao will take the opportunity to attack.

Chen Mo nodded: "I invited you all here today to discuss this matter with you. This expedition is different from the past. The opponent is the Hu people, I am not familiar with them. Xu Huang, Yu Sheng, and Wuyi cannot move without authorization. Gao Shun and Cui Geng need to be responsible for the defense of the capital and must not move lightly."

In this way, almost all of Chen Mo's trusted generals have to stay.

"Fengxian." Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu and said.

"I am here!" Lu Bu stood up.

"I know Fengxian is the best at cavalry, and he has been fighting with the Xianbei for many years and is familiar with the grassland terrain. So this time, you will lead an army of 5,000 cavalrymen, and the generals who will accompany the army are all the generals under your command. The Guhe area is a line of defense that Bao Geng managed during his lifetime. Last year, due to insufficient troops, many Xianbei people infiltrated. You will leave from here and drive those Xianbei people back, and then move towards the White Wolf Mountain through the grassland. How to fight, how to fight, you decide, I will not interfere, but there is one thing that Fengxian needs to guarantee me." Chen Mo looked at Lu Bu and said.

"Please give orders, my lord!" Lu Bu said excitedly. Leading an army alone, and not caring how to fight, it all depends on himself. This is a very high trust.

"Tadun, I want to kill him with my own hands. If you meet him, he must be alive!" Chen Mo said in a deep voice. He only has this one request, that he will avenge Bao Geng with his own hands.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will capture Tadun alive in this battle." Lu Bu promised immediately.

"As for the other accompanying generals this time, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are my guards and can accompany us. In addition, Ma Chao, Pang De and Zhang Xiu are good at cavalry warfare and should go with the army. Do you have any suggestions?" Chen Mo looked at the generals and said.

Cavalry combat is indispensable for this expedition to Wuhuan, and there are only a few cavalry generals under Chen Mo's command. Of course, Taishi Ci is also counted now, but Taishi Ci is guarding Yunzhong and it is impossible to transfer him.

"My lord, I can recommend a few people to go with you." Li Ru said with a smile.

"Oh? Who?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"My lord, there are many talented people among the surrendered generals in Jizhou, and the Yuan family and Wuhuan were quite friendly in the past. Among the generals in Jizhou, there are many people who are familiar with Wuhuan's tactics. They can go north with you." Li Ru said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded. There were indeed many powerful figures among the surrendered generals of Jizhou. He nodded and said, "If Wenyou hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. In this case, I will recruit Qian Zhao, Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Han Qiong to accompany me, so that I can see the abilities of the generals of Jizhou."

After these generals of Jizhou surrendered, Chen Mo brought these people with him when he returned to Luoyang. In this northern expedition, Chen Mo used not only cavalry, but also mostly surrendered soldiers from Jizhou. With these generals of Jizhou, the morale of the army can be quickly stabilized.

The plan was set. Chen Mo asked Lu Bu to lead a part of the troops to Yuyang first. In addition, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu each led 2,000 cavalry to Youzhou first, drove all the Hu people who entered the pass out of the pass, and protected the people in Youzhou. At the same time, he ordered all places along the way to mobilize food and supplies. In early February, Chen Mo led the four generals Qian Zhao, Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Han Qiong, as well as 5,000 elite troops from Guanzhong, out of Luoyang and rushed all the way to Youzhou. In Yecheng, they joined the 40,000 Jizhou troops that had assembled, and they marched all the way to Liaoxi.
