Chapter 142: All Schemes
The war kicked off in the morning, Yuan Shu divided the soldiers and horses into several batches to attack the city in turn, but the city defense had already been counted dead by Chen Mo, perhaps in the eyes of others this battle was very fierce, but in Chen Mo's eyes, it was the consumption of the number of troops on both sides, as long as this consumption figure did not exceed his own estimated range, this Yique Pass would be solid, and Yuan Shu could not move no matter how he fought.
Early the next morning, Yuan Shu changed direction and sent a group of men and horses to attack Dagu Pass, wanting to occupy Dagu Pass, and send troops to attack Luoyang or attack the grain road of Yique Pass.
However, Chen Mo had already deployed a thousand soldiers and horses to deal with it, and the soldiers and horses who went to attack Dagu Pass returned in vain, and then Yuan Shu did not give up, and successively attacked Xuanyuan Pass, Luhun Pass and even the most tortuous revolving gate Pass, which also sent troops to try, but they were all blocked back by Chen Mo one by one.
"Lord, I took people to climb the mountain and looked, and found that Chen Mo set up a beacon tower behind the mountain, no matter which pass is attacked, there are always people and horses who can rescue in time, he set up a cavalry in the rear, about a thousand people, but these thousand people can be used as three thousand people, if our army divides the army into four levels to attack, Chen Mo will send another cavalry out to exterminate our army." Ten days later, Zhang Xun led his troops back, and said to Yuan Shu with some depression.
Although it is impossible for the army to climb over the mountain, it is possible to climb to the top of the mountain with only a small elite force to observe the movement of the enemy army.
Yang Hong sighed and said: "Chen Mo has a very fine grasp of soldiers and horses, the defenders of Yique Pass are changed three times a day, and there are stone cannons on the top of the two mountains, the terrain of Yique Pass is dangerous, only four hundred people can hold the Guancheng, plus such a rotational replacement, according to this method, unless our army can collapse this Yique Pass, it is difficult to break through at all." ”
Chen Mo's defense is decent, but it is comprehensive, even when to change the defense, the physical strength of the soldiers has been calculated, this seemingly decent defense is more terrible than any tricks, if the other party has any tricks, as long as it is broken, then the opponent will suffer heavy losses, but this kind of purely relying on the terrain to consume troops with you, Yuan Shu can't afford it.
Yang Hong deliberately sold a lot of flaws in the past two days, intending to lure Chen Mo to send troops, but Chen Mo was quite cunning, even if he sent troops, he could always withdraw in advance before you closed the net, not only failed to ambush Chen Mo, but let Yuan Shu lose a lot of people on his side, if he continued to fight like this, one person died, and ten died on his own side, don't say that Yuan Shu only has an army of 50,000, even if there are 100,000 and 200,000, he can't stand such an addition!
"Then use a catapult to collapse this Yique Pass for me!" Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and said.
"The catapult can't go far, if our army really does this, then Chen Mo is afraid that he will use fire oil again to burn our army's catapult!" Zhang Xun on the side reminded.
Yuan Shu only felt extremely depressed, and slapped the table and said: "Could it be that my army of 50,000 is blocked here by this little concubine!?" ”
In fact, until now, Chen Mo was first cleaned up by the people in Yang, and then to the battle in Yique Pass in the past few days, whether Yuan Shu's troops have 40,000 is a problem.
Yang Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, do you remember the letter that Hu Zhen secretly sent yesterday?" ”
"Naturally, Dong Zhuo didn't suspect it, but that Hu Zhen was cut from his official position, wasted, and still wanted to come back?" Yuan Shu snorted coldly when he heard this.
But after Hu Zhen's defeat, he took a detour to the Tiger Prison Pass and returned to Dong Zhuo's side, wanting to preemptively accuse Chen Mo to Dong Zhuo, but Chen Mo's battle report had been sent to Dong Zhuo's side a few days ago, and the details of this battle from beginning to end were clearly stated, compared to Hu Zhen's slander, Chen Mo's war report that can stand up to scrutiny is obviously more suitable, and Chen Mo encouraged the withdrawal of Yique Pass, deliberately leaving Hu Zhen to gather and block the enemy in Yang, as long as you think about it, you can detect that something is wrong, although Chen Mo is the main general, But Hu Zhen's military power plus Hua Xiong is the same general as him in Xiliang, if you want to go back, can Chen Mo stop him?
However, after all, it was a general who had followed him for many years, and Dong Zhuo couldn't bear to kill him, so he just temporarily cut his official position and let him stay in Luoyang to stand by, and there was still a possibility of recovery in the future.
"In the following, Dong Zhuo sent Li Xian to support Yique Pass, about 2,000 soldiers and horses." Yang Hong smiled and shook his head.
"In this way, wouldn't Chen Mo have more soldiers and horses in his hands?" Yuan Shu frowned and said, in this way, wouldn't it be more difficult to break through Yique Pass?
"Li Xian is the nephew of Dong Zhuo's confidant general Li Dao, who is quite loved by Li Dao, and he is also a little brave, but he is ambitious and talented, and he is so happy." Yang Hong said with a smile: "Although the main general of Yique Pass is Chen Mo, he is not a descendant of the Xiliang Army after all, and the lord thinks that Li Xian will be like Hua Xiong and Yang Ding, and have the same heart as Chen Mo?" ”
Yuan Shu understood, looked at Yang Hong and said, "Is the military advisor saying that he used that Li Xian to drive away Chen Mo?" ”
"The lord is wise!" Yang Hong nodded and said with a smile, this frontal battlefield can't be defeated, so find a way to get Chen Mo away, this Li Xian came at the right time.
"Not necessarily, right?" Yuan Shu frowned.
"My lord, think about it, that Li Xian is said to be the crown now, and he has a lot of bravery, it is when he is young and vigorous, Chen Mo is a few years younger than him, and the lord thinks that Li Xian is willing to obey Chen Mo's command?" Yang Hong said with a smile.
"Young and vigorous?" Yuan Shu nodded, and then shook his head again, he used to think that this sentence was right, until he met Chen Mo: "I'm afraid he can't fight Chen Mo." ”
is generally young and vigorous, fighting with Chen Mo...... Although Yuan Shu hates Chen Mo very much now, he also knows better, not to mention the young and vigorous Han Xian, who is now Hua Xiong, who is known as the first fierce general in Xiliang in the Yique Pass, is not yet obedient to Chen Mozhi, he doesn't think that a Han Xian is Chen Mo's opponent.
"Han Xian is naturally not qualified, but he has Li Dao behind him to help him, Li Dao is Dong Zhuo's confidant, we only need to use some means, or we can transfer Chen Mo out of Yique Pass." Yang Hong said with a smile: "My lord, and make a temporary truce, and send a few letters to Chen Mo." ”
"It's too eye-catching." Yuan Shu frowned.
"Don't try to win over, just catch up with that Chen Mo, naturally you can't deceive Chen Mo, but you will definitely be able to deceive that Han Siam." Yang Hong smiled and said, "We only need to deceive that Han Xian, what does the lord think?" ”
Yuan Shu nodded when he heard this, asked people to bring pen and ink, and prepared to write a letter to Chen Mo, but he thought about it for a long time, although he had known Chen Mo for a long time, he disdained Chen Mo's background at the beginning, and he would not make friends with Chen Mo like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and they met and talked several times, either in the General's Mansion or when Cao Cao licked his face and took Chen Mo to eat and drink, thinking of this, Yuan Shu was a little angry, and sure enough, it was like a gathering, that Cao Cao was shameless, Chen Mo was also very thick-skinned, let you come, you will come, these two can be called brothers and sisters for more than ten or twenty years, It's not for nothing.
"My lord?" Seeing that the ink was dripping on the silk cloth, but Yuan Shu didn't write a word, Yang Hong couldn't help but remind.
"Although I have known that Chen Mo for some time, if you talk about personal friendship, it is still more Yuan Shao, and I will ...... with him" Yuan Shu shook his head, feeling that there was nothing to write about.
Yang Hongfu said speechlessly: "Just write some of the old style of Luoyang, thinking about the old times, this first letter, may not have a deep friendship." ”
"His little concubine Yun Si came out of the Chun Nuan Pavilion under my door, and I chose it when I was young, write this?" Yuan Shu finally thought of some common language, when Yun Si was six or seven years old, Yuan Shu was selected from the children of the convicts, but Yuan Shu felt strange when he really wrote this.
"It's better not to write." Yang Hong said helplessly, how can there be a reminiscence about other women? Even if it's a concubine, you can't talk about the past, people can talk about their feelings, and you can talk about hatred.
"The daughter of Cai Weng ......"
"I remember that the lord has a good relationship with Mr. Han Yu, and now Chen Mo has been considered by Mr. Han Yu to be the descendant of the Chen family, and he can write here, this first letter, don't talk too deeply, the lord can also think about how to write a letter with Mr. Han Yu." Before Yuan Shu came up with something more outrageous, Yang Hong still felt that it was better for him to decide what to write.
……
"Why didn't Yuan Shu fight today?" Yique closed, Hua Xiong came in, and said with a depressed face.
"If you can't attack for a long time, your morale will be drained, and you can't fight all the time, you have to think of other ways." Chen Mo was making tactical deductions, and said casually, his luck has been vague recently, and he doesn't know what will happen.
"General, this recent battle has been lifeless, and it doesn't look like a war at all." Hua Xiong sat opposite Chen Mo and said.
"Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and every battle must be fought wonderfully, and I am afraid that I will not have enough lives." Chen Mo raised his eyes and glanced at Hua Xiong and said: "If General Hua feels that this battle is not passionate enough, you can go to the enemy army to fight, I will celebrate your achievements if you win, and I will give you a good burial if you lose, but you can't move the soldiers and horses in the city, they are all arranged, there is no need to move." ”
Co-authored let me go alone? What's the difference between that and death? I want to fight with Yuan Shu, so I have to be willing to do it.
Dian Wei touched his stomach and said: "Wen Kai is not bad, he can still go to the city to fight every day, I have eaten and slept every day in the past few days, and I have a lot of meat and fat in my belly." ”
"General, the imperial court has transferred another 2,000 men, it should be almost there." Hua Xiong shifted the subject.
"Two thousand more people is not bad, but if you use it to help the four levels, one thousand people will be less after all." Chen Mo nodded and said.
"What is the General doing?" Hua Xiong looked curiously at the table in front of Chen Mo, which was full of wood carvings carved by Chen Mo.
"These are the generals we know under Yuan Shu's command now, let's see which one can divide them." Chen Mo nodded at the wood carving and said with a smile: "Without some strategy, I don't know when this battle will be fought." ”
"The general has a plan?" Hua Xiong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"There are some, this Sun Ce is good." Chen Mo picked up a wood carving from the table and said with a smile.
"Sun Ce?" Dian Wei was stunned and said: "We have a grudge against him to kill our father, will he surrender?" ”
"I don't need him to surrender, I just need him to leave Yuan Shu and separate the good generals around Yuan Shu one by one, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, if there are no strong generals to command, it will be a plate of scattered sand."
Hua Xiong said excitedly: "Is there anything to do?" ”
"Not for the time being, and the plan hasn't been thought out yet." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
"Lord!" Bai Bi came in and saluted Chen Mo and said, "Yuan Shu sent someone to send a letter. ”
"It may be now." Chen Mo put the wood carving on the table and smiled.
