The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Hiss~" Cao Cao lay down in the tent and let out a light hiss from time to time. He had already applied medicine on his butt, but the pain was really painful. He was afraid that he would not be able to ride a horse for a long time.

"This Chen Mo is so despicable." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "I regard him as a brother, but he is so..."

Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao speechlessly. You seem to be plotting against him? You two are actually pretty much the same.

"Lord, we lost a lot of people in today's battle." Xiahou Dun brought some food, and thanks to the terrain in this area, they retreated into Ziwu Valley and guarded the dangerous road. Although Chen Mo had more soldiers, Cao's army defended according to the danger and could not attack for a while.

Cao Cao nodded. This battle was a bit frustrating. Although Chen Mo couldn't attack, they couldn't fight out either.

"My lord, it seems that we may not be able to keep the emperor anymore." Xiahou Dun sat next to Cao Cao and said it anyway.

"Not necessarily!" Cao Cao shook his head and said: "It's too early to give up now. It's just a joke to the little thief of the Chen family. This arrow can't be in vain~yo~hiss~ow~"

"But..." Xiahou Dun said with a bitter smile: "When Chen Mo appears here, I'm afraid the road to Nanyang has been blocked. If the emperor doesn't give way at this moment, I'm afraid..."

"That's true." Cao Cao changed his posture, touched the wound again, and grinned in pain: "But there is not only one way to go to Nanyang. This Ziwu Valley can lead to Hanzhong. I will go there via Ziwu Valley later." Hanzhong, and then go to Nanyang from Hanzhong."

"Lord, this Ziwu Valley is not easy to walk!" The food and grass alone are not enough to eat, so most of these soldiers and horses will probably be left here.

"It's not easy to walk, but it must be impossible. Now we have the only way. The emperor must not fall into Chen Mo's hands!" Cao Cao lay on the soft cushion, shook his head and said: "You choose three hundred people to bring enough food and grass, and we will wait all night Protect the emperor and leave here."

Chen Mo occupies the land of Bingzhou and Heluo, and now he has Guanzhong, which is strong and fertile. If Chen Mo is allowed to hold the emperor again, then Cao Cao will stop playing and can only rely on Yuan Shao to compete with Chen Mo. Well, Cao Cao went through all the hardships to come to Guanzhong this time just for the sake of the emperor. As for these soldiers and horses, he can only give up now. He won the emperor with ten thousand troops and did not suffer any loss.

"But if Chen Mo pursues..." Xiahou Dun said with a bitter smile.

"He won't chase. Now is a great opportunity for him to seize Guanzhong. This wise brother of mine has someone to cut off. Li Guo has not yet been eliminated, and there are also the problems of Ma Teng and Han Sui. He will not delay here for too long. , a choice must be made, otherwise the emperor may not be able to get it, and Guanzhong will not be able to take it all." Cao Cao grinned, although he took an arrow, it was enough to capture the emperor in Guanzhong.

"My lord still regards him as a friend?" Xiahou Dun wondered. Today, both of them were about to roll up their sleeves and go into battle in person.

"The fight for the emperor is about orthodoxy and righteousness. This is for the public good. However, privately speaking, he is Zixiu's teacher and my best friend. There is no conflict. Of course, if there is a chance, I will still kill him! "Cao Cao got up and said with a smile: "I guess he thinks the same way."

Xiahou Dun couldn't understand this, so he could only nod in agreement and said, "Then I'll prepare now?"

"Well, remember not to leak the news, just select the elite to defeat the enemy." Cao Cao nodded.

"Your injury..." Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao's butt.

"It's okay, bring those soldiers who know medical skills, oh..."

"Here!" Xiahou Dun agreed and turned around to prepare.

…

Late at night, Chen Mo sat in the Central Army and sat silently for a long time. Finally he sighed, looked in the direction of Cao Jun's camp, and smiled bitterly. Jia Xu was right, you can't have your cake and eat it too!

"Lord!" Dian Wei came in with Bai Piao and Han Kai and saluted Chen Mo.

"Get ready. Early tomorrow morning, we will set up camp and go to martial arts." Chen Mo stood up and looked at the three of them.

"My lord, Cao Cao has been besieged here by us, how can we give up?" Dian Wei said in astonishment.

"It's not that I'm giving up. It's just that Cao Cao may have left at this moment. I'll recruit some surrender soldiers at most tomorrow." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"I will chase you now!" Dian Wei said immediately after hearing this.

"If you can't catch up, the opponent is in a dangerous position. If you go in rashly, you will be hit by thousands of arrows." Chen Mo shook his head.

Bai Piao on the side frowned when he heard this and said, "My lord, are you saying that Cao Cao will go to Ziwu Valley?"

"Now it seems so!" Chen Mo nodded. After nightfall, his luck gradually stabilized from the ups and downs, and fell to the normal level, slightly higher. In other words, after careful calculation, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion. , I don’t know whether Cao Cao can successfully get out of Ziwu Valley, but Chen Mo is afraid this time It is difficult to win the emperor again, and I can't help but admire Cao Cao's decisiveness. The Ziwu Valley is 660 miles long. Even if you go out, you still have to pass Shangyong and Zhuyang. After entering Nanyang, if you encounter Liu Biao's army , which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Liu Biao. It can be said that every step is dangerous, but he still made the decision without hesitation.

Changing place, Chen Mo was not sure whether he would walk into Ziwu Valley so resolutely.

Bai Piao and others didn't know how Chen Mo was sure, but since Chen Mo said so, he could only act as ordered.

There was no words all night, and early the next morning, as Chen Mo said, Cao's troops guarding the mouth of the valley began to stir up chaos. Chen Mo just sent people to try to persuade Cao to surrender, and it was easy to persuade Cao's troops to surrender.

"My lord, you have a clever plan. Last night, Cao Cao took general Xiahou Dun and three hundred elites to escort the emperor and the food and grass away. Now, Cao Cao's army in the valley has no subordinates and is in chaos. The last general just went to recruit them to surrender. Half of them surrendered, and the rest can't hold on. How long?" Bai Piao looked at Chen Mo with admiration.

Is it a clever plan?

Chen Mo shook his head. He didn't seem to be that powerful yet, so what if he did? Cao Cao was trying his best, but he had many worries, and in the end he failed to regain the emperor.

"Lord, I'm afraid Cao Cao hasn't gone far, and there are only 300 soldiers around him. How about the general leading a group of troops to chase him?" Han Kai couldn't help but said.

"No need, we are not familiar with the terrain of Ziwu Valley. If we go in hastily, we will suffer his plot. Leave some troops to guard here and recruit surrender troops. The rest will follow me and go to martial arts." Chen Moyao He shook his head. He had also had this idea. However, terrain like Ziwu Valley could not be used with more soldiers, and it was impossible for him to pursue it himself. Guanzhong still needed him to take charge of the overall situation. The emperor had been lost, and Guanzhong could no longer lose.

"Here!" All the generals responded in unison, leaving some men and horses to guard here to recruit Cao's army to surrender, while the rest set up camp and followed Chen Mo to Wugong.

As soon as they got out of the valley bottom, they saw a scout coming to report: "Lord, we saw a large group of cavalry coming straight from the front."

"Those are the pursuers sent by Guo Si, form up in formation!" Chen Mo looked up and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the ground began to tremble. This was the momentum of a large group of cavalry galloping. They should be sent by Guo Si to pursue Cao Cao. Now that we have encountered the pursuers, we will naturally have to wait for a while.

"Woo~"

Amidst the melodious sound of horns, a famous flag officer quickly occupied the high ground. The flag officer on Chen Mo's side kept waving the flag, and his sergeants quickly formed a battle formation to face the galloping Xiliang cavalry.

On the other side, Zhao Cen was tricked by Cao Cao. After walking for a whole day, he found out that he was filled with anger. He was about to catch up with Cao Cao and tell him to look good, but he found that a battle formation had been set up in front. Looking at the posture, there were no less than ten thousand people. people!

Zhao Cen quickly ordered to slow down and stopped slowly a stone's throw away from Chen Mo's army. He looked at Chen Mo's military formation in front of him with surprise. He originally thought that Cao Cao had reinforcements, but when he saw Chen Mo's flag, Somewhat panicked.

"I am Chen Mo. Please tell me which general is in front of you!" Chen Mo said loudly as he led Dian Wei on horseback and came to the front of the two armies' formation.

Zhao Cen hesitated for a moment, then rode out into the battle, but did not leave the military formation too far. He saluted Chen Mo from a distance and said, "General Zhao Cen, I have met Mr. Chen!"

There was some intersection between the two. Zhao Cen went to Yiqueguan with Li Xian back then. He was not very familiar with Chen Mo, but he still knew him.

"It turns out to be General Zhao. It has been three years since we parted ways at Yiqueguan in the past. It seems that the general is doing well now." Chen Mo said with a smile.

After Zhao Cen was silent for a moment, he raised his hands to Chen Mo and said, "I have no intention of making an enemy of the envoy, but I have been ordered to pursue the Cao thief this time. I hope that the envoy will not embarrass you."

Zhao Cen obviously doesn't want to fight Chen Mo, not to mention that the troops around Chen Mo are difficult to deal with at first sight. Now he is still on Chen Mo's territory. Once he is entangled by Chen Mo, he will probably be surrounded soon. Besides, he comes out this time. , not to fight with Chen Mo.

"There is no need to chase him. Cao Cao has already escaped into Ziwu Valley. It is useless to chase him now." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

Zhao Cen hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Chen Mo and said, "In that case, I will resign!"

"General Zhao, walk slowly, I have something to say!" Chen Mo greeted.

"I wonder if the envoy has any other orders?" Zhao Cen frowned and looked at Chen Mo. Although the opponent had many soldiers, it was not easy for him to keep him. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he could still escape.

"Are Li Jue and Guo Si fighting again?" Chen Mo looked at Zhao Cen and said with a smile: "General Zhao, the two of them no longer have the emperor in their hands. Now they are trapped in Fufeng. I have ordered the army to besiege. My troops are also ready now. Rush to martial arts."

Zhao Cen did not answer, but looked at Chen Mo and asked, "What do you mean by the general's words?"

"The emperor has been conquered by Cao Cao, Chang'an has been occupied by me, Li Jue and Guo Si have been exhausted, even if the general goes back, I have mobilized nearly 100,000 troops this time, not to mention that Li Jue and Guo Si have returned again Is it because no general thinks that Li Jue and Guo Si can really stop me? It is said that a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master. Now that Li and Guo have lost their popularity and are about to be defeated, how can such talents as generals really be defeated? Are you willing to die for the two of you?" Chen Mo looked at Zhao Cen with a sincere face: "Chen is not talented, but he is still the leader of the party. If he can get help from the general, he will be treated generously!"

Zhao Cen was a little hesitant when he heard this. He could abandon Li Jue and join Guo Si when Li Jue was in decline. Naturally, he didn't mind turning to Chen Mo at this time. However, just defecting like this would seem a little despicable. However, Chen Mo's words really made people feel guilty. His heart moved.

Li Jue and Guo Bin had a big fight in Yi County. Zhao Cen didn't know what the situation was now, but no matter who won or lost, Chen Mo would obviously not miss this opportunity. Compared to the two of them, Chen Mo was indeed more powerful.

"General, the situation is urgent now, please make a decision early!" Chen Mo reminded loudly.

That’s it!

Zhao Cen gave a bitter smile, dismounted and saluted Chen Mo and said: "The general has admired the lord for a long time, and only wishes that there is no way to surrender. Now that the lord has spoken, how can the general refuse?"

"Good!" Chen Mo smiled. Before the battle even started, he not only got a general from the other side, but also 5,000 cavalry. Chen Mo got off his horse and brought Dian Wei to the front of the Xiliang army. He helped Zhao Cen up and smiled at Zhao Cen: "General, please lead your troops and go with the army. After this battle, I will ask the court for credit for you."

At this time, it is best not to seize military power, otherwise it will easily backfire.

Zhao Cen said gratefully: "I will obey your order!"
