Chapter Ninety-Six: Preparing for War

Lord, the enemy has been found in the area of Juxian, and Li Dao's army should have bypassed Juxian. "Chang'an, the former General's Mansion has become Chen Mo's temporary office, Han Kai walked in quickly and bowed to Chen Mo.

"Juxian?" Chen Mo pointed to the map, found the location of Ju County, nodded and said, "Explore again!" ”

"Huh~" Han Kai bowed and left.

Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "Li Dao is not stupid, he didn't go to Feng Yi to defect to Huaxiong, and now it seems that he wants to defect to Guo Yan." ”

"The area around Juxian County is near the Meridian Valley, if Li Dao leads the army into the Meridian Valley, he can go straight to Hanzhong." Zhang Ji, who was recalled to Chang'an by Chen Mo on the side, bowed and said.

Li Ru shook his head: "The road in the Meridian Valley is difficult, more than six hundred miles, if Li Dao really walks here, the grain and grass will not be enough for those many people." ”

Defecting to Guo Yan can be said to be Li Dao's only way now, of course, if he is willing to give up his power and only bring a few elites into Hanzhong, then there is no way, before Guanzhong is decided, Chen Mo will not be able to devote his energy to Hanzhong.

Chen Mo groped his chin, Li Dao was leaving, it was really difficult to stop him now, he had a Xiliang cavalry in his hand, and he was really fighting in the field, even if Da Lang caught up, I am afraid that he would suffer a loss, and now it seems that it is impossible to stop Li Guo from joining forces again.

"Guo Yan now occupies Fufeng, and the soldiers under his command are ...... enough food" Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and said: "Can the military advisor have a strategy to quickly break through Guo Yan and welcome back the Son of Heaven?" ”

Li Ru pondered: "Now that Huaili and Juxian have been broken, Guo Yan must be vigilant, and now it may not be easy to fight quickly, the lord can unite with General Huaxiong to attack Fufeng from two directions." ”

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

Chen Mo nodded, Hua Xiong can indeed be mobilized now, he has 10,000 Xiliang troops there, Hua Xiong joined, plus Li Ying, Li Huan's subordinates, Chang'an army, Zhang Ji's army, Chen Mo now has 50,000 people under his command alone, in terms of troops, Li Guo is now joining forces, and Chen Mo is not afraid.

"Pass on our military order, order Wuyi to stop pursuing Li Dao, lead the army into Ju County, and cooperate with the main force of our army to attack and support the wind." After thinking for a while, Chen Mo looked at the generals and said: "Cui Geng stayed in Chang'an, Li Ru was responsible for the supply of military food, Bai Bi and Han Kai assisted in defending the city, Zhang Ji, Bao Geng, Wang Biao, and Zheng Tu went out with me, and ...... other."

Chen Mo looked at Zhang Ji and said, "I want to worship Jia Xu as a military advisor, and ask him to come and go with me as soon as possible." ”

Jia Xu is still accompanying Zhang Xiu in Xinfeng, Chen Mo hopes that Jia Xu will come to his command to give advice to himself, but not let him be lazy in the rear.

"Well, at the end, I will ask Wenhe to come over with this letter." Zhang Ji hurriedly bowed and said.

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

"The last general commands!" The generals agreed, and each left to count the troops and horses.

After the generals left, Chen Mo sat alone behind the table, frowning and looking at the map of Guanzhong, there should be no omissions, why do you have a bad feeling?

Luck has not changed much, this expedition, the most important thing is to see the change in occupation, luck unchanged, can only say that this time to send troops, there will not be too many twists and turns, but whether it can win the battle can not be predicted, to put it bluntly, this luck change is timely, just like the chessboard, it can only be regarded as one step of good luck, to win chess only by it is impossible.

Chen Mo deduced it carefully, now that Li Dao has not yet joined Guo Yan, military rations are a problem, and there is still Da Lang hanging on the side, so there is no trouble.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo didn't see anything wrong, and now he could only give up, and the rest would be talked about when he was facing the enemy.

……

On the other side, Li Dao and Cao Cao had already led their troops to bypass Juxian and go to Yixian.

"Lord, that's all the news, now that Chen Mo has won Chang'an, Li Dao is now alone, and now it seems that he wants to rejoin forces with Guo Yan." In Cao Cao's military tent, Xiahoudun told him the information he had obtained from there in the past few days, looked at Cao Cao and said, "We want to follow Li Dao to join Guo Yan like this?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head, groped his chin and said: "Bo Dao's move is really decisive, if it is not bad as expected, then Hua Xiong and Xu Rong are probably also on Bo Dao's side, otherwise how could Ma Teng and Han Sui sit back and watch the melee in this pass and ignore it?" "The Xiliang Army may be little known, but Cao Cao knows that Xu Rong was captured by Chen Mosheng at the beginning, and then there was no news, and he returned to Chang'an after more than half a year.

"Yes, I don't want Chen Mo to be so powerful, it's only been a long time, and there is almost no room for Li Mo to be beaten." Xiahoudun didn't think Chen Mo was so powerful before, but now it seems that he still underestimated this kid, no wonder even Cao Cao attached so much importance to it.

"I can't wait for the situation in Guanzhong." Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Bo Dao has to be closed, and now it seems that it is a certainty, even if Li Dao and Guo Yan join forces, they have lost the opportunity at this time." ”

"Brother......" Xiahoudun hesitated for a moment and looked at Cao Caodao.

"If you have something to say, there are no outsiders here." Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with some amusement.

"Whoa!" Xiahoudun nodded and said in a deep voice: "I thought that Chen Mo couldn't be allowed to win Guanzhong so easily, otherwise, he would be the enemy of our army one day!" ”

"Do you think that I will take care of the situation, so I won't help Li Dao and Guo Yan?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun and smiled.

Xiahoudun didn't speak, but apparently he thought so.

"Don't worry." Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "It's okay for me, Bo Dao, if there is a chance to put the other party to death, I will never be soft, but you have to be clear, what are we doing in Guanzhong this time?" ”

"Son of Heaven!" Xiahoudun nodded.

"Yes, we only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, I don't want to compensate them, and I have to deal with Liu Biao when I go back, so in the battle of Guanzhong, once we intervene, we are likely to be dragged down, if Bo Dao finds out that I appear on the battlefield, I am afraid that the road to Wuguan will be blocked immediately, cutting off our retreat." Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun and said: "Mix up with Guo Yan, find a chance to get the Son of Heaven and run, don't think about fighting, we are here to steal people!" ”

"Uh......" Xiahoudun touched his nose, it was true to say so, but it always felt weird, after thinking about it, Xiahoudun said: "But I don't know where the Son of Heaven is, how to welcome the Son of Heaven?" ”

"That's a good question." Cao Cao smiled: "Even if we know, then Guo Yan will not let us easily approach the Son of Heaven, so we have to find someone to help!" ”

"Who can help me wait?" Xiahoudun wondered.

"I think that Zhao Cen is good, although he is still following Li Dao, but now he has the intention of defecting to Guo Yan." Cao Cao laughed.

"The villain who betrays the master!" Xiahoudun snorted coldly.

"You, don't be fooled by loyalty." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "How can there be so many loyal and righteous people in this world, when people are poor, even dogs will be suspicious, how can they be loyal?" What we want is a usable person, this Zhao Cen is good, how close you are to him, whether you can steal the Son of Heaven depends on this person. ”

"How to get close?" Xiahoudun said with an unhappy face.

"Complain to him and complain about Li Wei's stinginess, and talk about how to defect to Guo Yan, so that he can quickly gain trust from Guo Yan." Cao Cao said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult, don't care too much about face, you just need to know that this person is of great use to us, and when we see Guo Yan, let him go directly with the cavalry, and Guo Yan will gladly accept it at that time." ”

Xiahoudun nodded and said, "I'll try." ”

"Go ahead." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Remember what I said, laugh, don't be embarrassed, you have to learn to call the person you hate a brother and a brother." ”

With a stiff smile on his face, Xiahoudun got up to say goodbye.

Cao Cao shook his head, this kind of thing, but also about talent, at this point, he admires Chen Mo more, as long as it is useful, Chen Mo can talk to anyone about the past and the present, even if he teaches this, it is estimated that Xiahou Dun will not be able to learn it, he can only rely on himself to comprehend.
