"What does Chen Mo want to do?" Cao Cao looked at the strategists under his tent, and Cao Cao was a little confused about Chen Mo's actions.

In fact, not only did he not know Chen Mo's path, but the strategists under his account were also a little confused about Chen Mo's sudden deployment of troops in the Zhongmu area.

Just had a big battle with Yuan Shao, although he won in the end, it was definitely not easy to win, and it could even be said that he was a bit lucky, in this case, shouldn't Chen Mo silently digest the results? Now he crossed the river and came to Zhongmu's side, if you want to say that he crossed the line, Chen Mo did not cross the line, and Zhongmu is divided according to the belonging, it still belongs to the river. Nanyin, but in fact, the actual controller east of Chenggao has always been Cao Cao, including Jingxian, Kaifeng, Xinzheng, Yuanling and other places that belong to Yin in Henan, all of which are east of Chenggao, Chen Mo has always been used as a front station to absorb the population of the Central Plains, and Cao Cao, in order to avoid direct conflict with Chen Mo, also did not touch these places, and most of the time belonged to the three-regardless zone.

Now Chen Mo led an army of 30,000 troops here, and there was obviously something wrong with training troops all day.

Dissatisfied with Cao Cao's refusal to do his best before, let him withstand Yuan Shao's main pressure first? Chen Mo should not be this kind of person who ignores the overall situation, although Yuan Shao was defeated, but the foundation was not damaged, and the vitality was not lost, in this case, the two families should join forces to do the thing, and now taking the initiative to provoke is obviously not what Chen Mo should do.

"Lord, since Chen Mo has made a move, he will definitely ask for something, but if he wants to fight with our army here, I'm afraid he won't." Cheng Yu bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice.

Chen Mo's personality has also been figured out a little, even if he is angry, things related to interests will never be so demented, he is a qualified hero, he has just experienced a war at this time, Chen Mo does not have the ability to fight Cao Cao again.

Not to mention how to lose, even if he wins, it will only force Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to join forces to deal with him, but judging from the current strength and weakness, even if Yuan Shao loses this battle, he is still the strongest among the princes.

Cao Cao nodded, he was sure of this, but what did Chen Mo want?

Turf? Cao Cao will definitely not give it, this is Cao Cao's root, if Chen Mo's goal is the territory, Cao Cao will definitely fight Chen Mo to the end, not by a wise man.

In addition to the territory, under Cao Cao, there is only one thing that can be valued by Chen Mo.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, but saw that Guo Jia nodded imperceptibly.

"Son of Heaven!?" Cheng Yu suddenly frowned.

Cao Cao didn't speak, he also thought of this possibility, but if Chen Mo's goal was the Son of Heaven, he should have led the army directly to Suiyang instead of running to Zhongmu.

After Cheng Yu said the Son of Heaven, he immediately frowned and said: "If Chen Mo intends to be the Son of Heaven, at this moment our army is already on guard, and the lord has personally raised troops to this point, he has no chance, and looking at Chen Mo's approach, it is obvious that he deliberately led the lord to come, but Suiyang is more than 500 miles from Luoyang, Chen Mo is here to attract the main force of Cao's army, and it is impossible for his partial division to cross the many checkpoints set by Cao Cao to Suiyang and then bring the Son of Heaven back." ”

"But if there is an internal response......" Guo Jia sighed and looked at everyone: "It may not be impossible to do things." ”

Internal?

Cheng Yu frowned, this is really possible, since Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, there have always been people in the court who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and want to fight for power for the Son of Heaven or for themselves, Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, the two imperial relatives, as well as the Han family, etc., too much.

"These people can't be so unwise!" Cheng Yu shook his head, did he really think that when he got to Chen Mo's side, he would be able to have power? Judging from Chen Mo's methods and control of the land of Guanzhong, even if these people help the Son of Heaven escape from Suiyang and really go to Chen Mo, I am afraid that they don't even have the right to do so now, Chen Mo will give them high-ranking officials, but he will definitely not give them rights, even more ruthless than Cao Cao's suppression.

"If they all have the talent of Brother Zhongde, this world will be a lot more peaceful." Guo Jia leaned back and said quietly.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there are obviously more fools, sometimes smart people's thinking is actually easier to guess than fools, what a fool will do in the next moment, sometimes it is really difficult to predict, especially fools who hold power in their hands, they do not lack decision, but lack the wisdom of decision.

Cheng Yu was silent when he heard this, according to what he said, it is really possible, because Chen Mo holds a large number of duke titles, so the three dukes and nine kings have not been able to seal it, which has also led to Cao Cao setting up many new positions to meet these people, but these positions are not as orthodox as the three dukes and nine kings after all, plus Cao Cao's political and financial power is very tight, these people have no chance at all, now that I think about it, these people do have enough reasons to betray Cao Cao.

What's more, Chen Mo is now carrying a big victory over Yuan Shao, at least in terms of prestige, he is no longer under Yuan Shao, and occupies the land of the two capitals, you must know that there are many old ministers in the court, but they have always hoped that the Son of Heaven can return to Luoyang or Chang'an.

"Lord, send someone to inform Wen Ruo as soon as possible." Cheng Yu got up and said a little anxiously.

The significance of the Son of Heaven to Cao Cao is not only to take the lead in righteousness, but also in terms of talents, since Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, he has gained a lot of talents, if the Son of Heaven is lost, the loss of talents alone is also a great blow to Cao Cao.

What is the most important thing in this world? Territory, population, money and food are naturally very important, but the most important thing is talent, if there are not enough talents, even if you have a large territory, it is impossible to govern it alone.

Although it is not so miserable, it must have had a great impact on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't speak, just frowned and sat in place, in fact, the benefits that the Son of Heaven can bring have been used up in the past few years, replaced by more and more voices against Cao Cao in the court, the disadvantages brought by the Son of Heaven are constantly emerging, and Cao Cao also has entanglements in his heart, he has the idea of returning to the Son of Heaven, but at this point, many things are no longer his own business, the family behind him, the military generals and ministers under his command, and the situation today, even if he is still in power with the Son of Heaven, Does the Son of Heaven have the ability to suppress the princes?

Today's world is no longer the world it used to be, the Han family's luck is declining, and the majesty is not there, it is Cao Cao who has always supported the face of the Han family, but the Son of Heaven and those around the Son of Heaven have been stumbling on Cao Cao and dragging him back.

Welcoming the Son of Heaven, there are pros and cons, but the pros have passed, and now the disadvantages brought to Cao Cao have gradually become prominent.

And now the role of the Son of Heaven in the general righteousness is getting smaller and smaller, Yuan Shao and Chen Mo are basically beneficial, but they want to let them help ignore it, after Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, his attitude towards the imperial court became more and more disrespectful, Jingzhou Liu Biao was sandwiched between Sun Ce and Lu Bu, and was often beaten, it didn't matter whether he supported or opposed, as for Lu Bu...... He had never paid attention to any orders from the imperial court, and Cao Cao had thought about cleaning up Lu Bu first, but Chen Mo obviously wouldn't let him get it easily, and he could only give up in the end.

Count it carefully, such as today's name is not as useful as before, and after Cao Cao got Xuzhou, the meaning of the Son of Heaven to Cao Cao has not been so important, the reason why he has always been respected, is that Cao Cao still has the love of the Han family in his heart, and there are also a large number of ministers in the court who have the Han family in their hearts.

Cao Cao closed his eyes, and only after a long time did he sigh leisurely: "Let this matter be decided by heaven's will." ”

Chen Motun's troops are in Guandu, Cao Cao must not move lightly, Cao Ren in the territory must guard against Lu Bu, Xiahou Yuan is guarding in Xuzhou, although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are many, but there are not many who can be assembled in a short time and will not affect Cao Cao.

Now, Cao Cao is fighting for the Han family in the front, but there is trouble in the rear, Cao Cao knows very well that with Chen Mo's temperament, if he is not sure enough, he will not be able to do this.

Let it be left to the will of God, if Chen Mo can succeed, Cao Cao will write back now, I'm afraid it's too late, after all, Chen Mo has been stationed here for more than a month, I'm afraid it has already been planned, even if he remedies it himself at this moment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be effective, but Suiyang has Xun Yu stationed, for Xun Yu, Cao Cao is still very relieved, if Xun Yu can't stop it, Cao Cao feels that even if he goes back, it may not be useful, it is better to stay here and wait for the outcome of the matter.

"Lord......" Cheng Yu opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but saw Guo Jia on the opposite side shaking his head at him, greeting the Son of Heaven, people only felt that Cao Cao was becoming more and more arrogant, and did not take the Son of Heaven in his eyes, who would have thought about how much pressure Cao Cao was under?
