Cao Peng died in battle, the Cao army in the city has no subordination, they are fighting for themselves, some have begun to flee, when Chen Mo entered the city with the guard battalion, it was already dusk, the war has come to an end, for the Cao army who fled out of the city, Chen Mo did not pursue, the five thousand Jizhou army, it is not easy to fight to this extent, and since yesterday dozens of miles of running, ambushed the white horse soldiers at night, and then fought another battle to capture the city at dawn.

Whether it is physical strength or fighting spirit, it has reached the limit at this time, and if you continue to fight, your morale can keep up, but your physical strength is not good.

After this battle, Chen Mo completely gathered the military heart of the 5,000 descending army, and he could take it out and let it go, at this time, it was not cost-effective to waste these horses on meaningless pursuits.

In this war, every cent of his troops, he had to calculate properly, and what he had to face was the two princes of Cao Cao and Yuan.

"Lord, great joy!" As soon as he entered the city, he saw Dian Wei and Guo Meng walking up quickly and saluting Chen Mo.

"Well, if you break Liyang, you should make that Cao Cao dare not attack with all his strength." Chen Mo smiled and nodded, Liyang's attack will definitely make Cao Cao afraid of the safety of the rear, and if he has a few more battles like this, he is not afraid that Cao Cao will not retreat.

"No, my lord, I'll find Cao Jun's grain storage place in the city, there are eight granaries!" Guo Meng looked at Chen Mo with excitement.

"What!?" Even if Chen Mo had guessed beforehand, but when he really heard the news, he still couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, Brother Meng De, this time, I won! At the moment, he said to the two of them: "Take me quickly!" ”

"Whoa!"

The group hurriedly came to the vicinity of Liyang's granary, seven of the eight granaries were newly built, Chen Mo asked people to open them, looking at the full grain and grass inside, and their hearts were overjoyed.

"It's burning!" Chen Mo waved his hand.

"Huh!?" Dian Wei and Guo Meng looked at Chen Mo in surprise when they heard this, these eight warehouses of grain, even if they are not counted, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of stones, enough to feed the army for two or three months, and it was burned like this?

"Our army is behind enemy lines, do you still want to take this grain and grass away?" Chen Mo glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile, what he wanted was desperate grain instead of robbing grain, if he transported this grain and grass, he was afraid that he would be robbed by Cao Jun on the way, and there would be no place to run.

Dian Wei looked at the full granary with some pain, quite reluctant.

"All the soldiers, bring a day's food, drag the grain in these eight granaries out for me to burn, not a single grain is left, after the burning, gather the soldiers, and withdraw immediately!" Chen Mo grabbed a handful of corn, if he wants to say that he is reluctant, he must have it in his heart, so much grain, if he can pull it back, he can get back nearly half of the grain and grass consumed in the Battle of Jizhou.

You must know that for this battle, Chen Mo has tightened his belt to survive in the past two years, and almost all the money in the Luoyang Mansion Treasury has been used to buy grain.

But there is no way, this is Cao Cao's grain storage land, after Cao Cao learns about it, he will definitely send troops over immediately, Chen Mo must withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise Cao Cao will give Bao Yuan'er.

"My lord, the soldiers are fighting one after another, and they need to be repaired at this time, why do they withdraw so quickly? It's time to let the soldiers rest well. Guo Meng frowned.

"If I could, I would like to let the soldiers rest." Chen Mo explained while letting people set fire to the grain: "But this is the place where Cao Cao stored grain, where the lifeline is, we have now taken his lifeline, how long do you say Cao Cao's reinforcements will arrive, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid that the next thing will be a continuous hard battle, do you still want to fight?" ”

"The last general understands!" Guo Meng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed to arrange the withdrawal of the army.

Chen Mo shook his head, this is also the fact that the Jizhou army has not yet had a tacit understanding with him, otherwise why talk so much, for these surrendered troops, Chen Mo will have enough patience, if this is a veteran of Guanzhong, Chen Mo has to consider whether this Guo Meng has to change positions.

The fire oil in the city was carried out and poured on top of the granary, and soon the eight granaries were on fire, Chen Mo led the soldiers who had not yet been repaired out of the city and left quickly, since the granary of the Cao army was burned, there was no need to continue to wreak havoc in the rear of the Cao army, and after going back, he had to prepare to completely clean up Yuan Shang.

Just when Chen Mo withdrew his soldiers and horses, quickly escaped into the mountains and forests, and rushed to Yecheng, the battle on Cao Cao's side on the second day also began to end.

"Not quite right." Cao Cao frowned and looked at the Guanzhong army that was retreating like a tide, and frowned.

"Lord, what's wrong?" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"Today's Guanzhong military soldiers are too conservative, which is very different from yesterday." Cao Cao knelt behind the handsome case, frowning and thinking about today's battle situation, now that the battle situation has been completely opened, compared to yesterday's Guanzhong Army, he can clearly feel that today's Guanzhong Army seems to be too conservative.

Chen Mo's use of troops is very stable, but at the same time it is also very ruthless, sometimes he can dig a pit for you unconsciously, and then eat a lot of people and horses in one bite, and fight with Chen Mo, you have to be vigilant for one hundred and twenty points, but today's battle is quite a bit of a separate battle, and the strength of the generals and the army under Chen Mo has not been fully exerted.

"In fact, things have changed since yesterday." Guo Jia frowned on the side and said, "It seems that Chen Mo has returned to Yecheng, but I don't know who is in command of the battle now?" ”

Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses arrived in Pingyang and took Yecheng directly, so naturally they couldn't hide it from Cao Cao's eyes and ears, and it was not a strange thing for Chen Mo to return to Yecheng to preside over the battle.

After all, if Yecheng is lost, the advantages that Chen Mo has established before will be gone, and Guo Jia wonders why Yuan Shang has not broken through Yecheng until now.

"What's going on in Yecheng?" Cao Cao only began to care about Yecheng's affairs at this time, since Chen Mo had gone back, presumably Yuan Shang would not be able to attack Yecheng so easily, right?

"It's also strange to say, according to what our army said, the gate of Yecheng is wide open, and Yuan Shang is now stationed outside the city and has not entered the city." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Empty city?" Cao Cao shook his head, Yuan Shang is not so stupid, even if he is stupid, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi around him are not stupid, it is impossible to be deceived by the empty city plan.

"It shouldn't be counted, Chen Mo stationed 20,000 soldiers and horses in the north of the city." Cheng Yu shook his head, if he wanted to say that there were no soldiers in the city, then Cheng Yu would not believe it.

"What does that mean?" Cao Cao was happy, and looked at everyone with some curiosity.

Everyone shook their heads, Rao is as wise as Guo Jia, and they can't think of what Chen Mo is doing?

"According to what he said, those soldiers and horses in the south of the city are all Yecheng troops, and at this time, Chen Mo was sent to camp troops outside the city, are you worried that these Yecheng troops will defect?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"That's a bit of a waste, at this time, Yecheng will not have too many soldiers and horses, if you can get the help of 20,000 troops, at least the city can be defended." Guo Jia shook his head, Chen Mo is good at governing the army, Mo said that these people have surrendered for a while, even if they have just surrendered, if they are just defending the city, it is not difficult to deter these people, Chen Mo's means will not be able to do this, the reason why they do this, I am afraid that there is a bigger plan.

Guo Jia suddenly remembered something, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Has our army's meticulous work in Yecheng been sent out of the city?" ”

"That's not true, but now that Yecheng is under martial law, it is difficult for the city to pass on the news, and now the news from the direction of Yecheng does come from there." When Cheng Yu said this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao is saying, these news ......"

"It was all deliberately released by Chen Mo." Guo Jia sighed and said: "Looking at whether these people have mobilized troops, I always feel that he has a big plan, I'm afraid it's not as simple as defending Yecheng." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and immediately got up and prepared to go out to investigate.

It's just that before he left, he saw Xu Chu striding in, and saluted Cao Cao: "Lord, there is a group of routed soldiers outside the camp, claiming to be the defenders of Liyang, shouting outside the camp that the city of Liyang is broken, and the last general will catch them all." ”

Cao Cao's face changed when he heard this, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu's faces also changed, and Cao Cao suddenly got up: "Where is it?" Take me to see you! ”

"Whoa!"

Cao Cao left in a hurry, and Guo Jia was a little distracted and said: "Zhongde doesn't have to go, I'm afraid this is the real purpose of that Chen Mo." ”

Cheng Yu's face turned a little pale: "Why didn't anyone report me to such important information?" ”

"I'm afraid it's been reported, but it hasn't been reported to you." Guo Jia leaned back, closed his eyes and thought: "In the past two days, I'm afraid there has been a lot of news from there, but most of it is useless information, and those who were sent away this time are all surrendered troops, I'm afraid everyone thinks that this is to deal with Yuan Shang, so the people below are lazy and are ready to report it afterwards." ”

"Bastard!" Cheng Yu was furious when he heard this.

"This is Chen Mo's scheming, and it can't be prevented." Guo Jia smiled bitterly.

"It may not be broken, Liyang has 5,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, even if Chen Mo is there in person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through, right?" After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he left with a bit of luck in his heart, ready to remedy.

Guo Jia didn't persuade again, sometimes it's useless to remedy it afterwards, who would have thought that at this time, Chen Mo was not thinking about breaking Yuan Shang, but about breaking his own side?

On the other side, Cao Cao had already seen the rout from Liyang, the news that Liyang City was broken and Cao Peng was killed in battle made Cao Cao's face pale, and he suddenly covered his head and shouted: "Hurt me!" ”

But it was a headache, and Xu Chu on the side hurriedly supported Cao Cao, and shouted: "Quick, pass the army to the Chinese medicine craftsman." ”

"Order Cao Ren and Xiahoudun to come to see me!" Cao Cao broke away from Xu Chu's support and shouted at the guards outside the tent.

"Whoa!" The guards said yes and left immediately.

After a while, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun came in and saluted Cao Cao and said, "Lord, what's the matter?" ”

"The two of you immediately ordered 10,000 troops, rushed to Liyang, if Liyang City is broken, then Liyang will be recaptured, and Liyang grain and grass must be kept." Cao Cao endured his headache and watched the two of them give orders in a hurry.

"The last general commands!" When the two of them heard this, they knew that things were not good, and they did not delay, so they immediately went out of the account and ordered all the people to rush to Liyang overnight.

Outside the tent, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao who came out of the tent with a somewhat pale face, his lips moved, but he couldn't speak.

"Zhongde doesn't have to blame himself, things are not as serious as you think! Steady, you must be calm at this time! Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling that Cheng Yu didn't need to panic, things might not be so bad.

"Whoa!"
