Compared with Wu Yi's cautiousness in the face of Cao Jun, when Chen Mo faced Yuan Shang, it could be called a big open.

Gao Gan and the trial finally surrendered, not that they wanted, but Liu He took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender, if it was in the past, when Jizhou or Yecheng was still in the hands of the Yuan family, Liu He was just a puppet, every decree had to be considered by Yuan Shao or Yuan Shang and the courtiers of the Yuan family, and then he would stamp a seal, and then it would be over, except for the honor guard and living standards that the Son of Heaven should have, there was no right that the Son of Heaven should have.

But with the breakthrough of Yecheng and the slaughter of the inner city, when Gao Gan and Xianbei retreated to the palace, the troops in their hands were not much more than in the hands of Liu He.

Of course, most of the palace guards in Liu He's hands are window dressing, and they are not opponents at all when they really fight, but Liu He doesn't need to fight with them, and even from the beginning, Liu He didn't even say a word, but when Chen Mo needed the palace troops to surrender, Liu He said a word lightly in the court, so that Gao Gan and the trial had no way to think about it.

As for what to say, it's actually simple.

"The families of all the generals present are all in the inner city, if they resist stubbornly at this time, can General Gao and General Shen think about how these soldiers feel?"

With just such a sentence, no official or military general in the court was silent.

That's right, Chen Mo slaughtered more than half of the inner city, but the generals who remained in the palace and the families of some officials, Chen Mo didn't move.

The trial is that no matter how much wisdom there is, but the people's hearts have been lost, no matter how much wisdom they have, after he and Gao Gan were tied up by those former generals of the Yuan family, they all disappeared.

Chen Mo didn't care much about the affairs of the palace, he was more concerned about whether Cao Jun and Yuan Shang would join forces outside the city.

After learning that Cao Cao went to Yanjin to cut off his back road, and Yuan Shang led the army to join Gao Ran and approached Yecheng with a tough posture, Chen Mo's posture was tougher than that of the other party.

When there are many Wuyi soldiers, he still takes a defensive position, which is the positioning that Wuyi has always given himself, and now it has gradually become Wuyi's style, and what is Chen Mo's style?

If the opponent is strong, then wait and see, but if the opponent's level is average, then I'm sorry, it's you who is bullying.

And Yuan Shang is here in Chen Mo, obviously that kind of relatively ordinary existence.

Don't care that Yuan Shang has famous generals in Hebei such as Gao Ran by his side, and don't care that there are wise people like Tian Feng and Fu Zhu.

But Yecheng is broken, for the Jizhou army, this morale blow is fatal, not to mention that many generals' families are still in Chen Mo's hands.

Don't say anything despicable or despicable, on the battlefield, the confrontation between the two forces has always been based on their own means, and in fact, Chen Mo did not use this to threaten, Gao Gan took it back by himself, and more than half of the slaughter in the inner city was slaughtered.

As for who was slaughtered, Gao Gan naturally didn't know, but there was luck in people's hearts, and many people who thought they were useful would wonder if their family members would be left behind, because they were useful.

In this case, not to mention that the Jizhou Army is inferior to the Guanzhong Army in terms of individual combat strength and morale, even if the morale of both sides is about the same, these Jizhou generals often dare not kill too much when facing the Guanzhong Army, in this case, how to fight?

Chen Mo's side is let go, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu, Ma Chao, Pang De, Cui Geng, Bao Geng, Shi Geng, Han Kai, Bai Bi and other generals were all sent out of the city by Chen Mo, forming nine small villages, taking turns to provoke, Ma Chao was even more bold, and took a detour to the rear to rob grain, his village almost always remained empty, and Zhang Xiu and Pang De helped him guard the village.

The generals didn't dare to fight, how aggrieved the Jizhou soldiers were can be imagined, and the generals in Guanzhong fought the happiest battle since the army, every time, the Jizhou army was almost pressed and beaten, even if a single small village ran to fight, the Jizhou army could be beaten and did not dare to come out.

"Bastard!" Yuan Shang didn't know how many times he had lifted the table, but he couldn't lift the table in front of those generals who were in good spirits, because the battle still depended on them.

"One by one, they eat all day long, but they don't want to serve the court, they only care about their own safety, these people should be killed!" Yuan Shang looked outside the tent and scolded.

There are three other people in the tent, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Gao Lan, these three people are also the three people who are most relied on by Yuan Shang now, and they are also the three people who are willing to do their best.

But there is no way, no matter how capable these people are, but an army cannot be commanded by three people, without the cooperation of generals and colonels at all levels, even if you are Han Xin alive, it will be useless to be reborn in vain.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Gao Ran were silent, to be honest, Yuan Shang's words were a little chilling, after all, why did everyone fight for you in the world? It's not for the sake of sealing his wife and son, now that his family is being coerced, he doesn't dare to offend the ruthless Guanzhong Army, although it is not in accordance with the law, it is also human nature, which is understandable.

In fact, Tian Feng, Fu Zhi, and Gao Ran's family members, which are not in the city, but they are different from each other, what most people pursue is power and wealth, human nature in the world is like this, there is no need to criticize others, those who shout that they are different from the laity, in fact, when it comes to the end, they may not be as good as the laity.

But there are also people who are willing to give up everything for their own ideals and pursuits, such people, you say how noble they are, they just pursue differences, in the words of later generations, they are more professional.

"Lord!" After Yuan Shang vented, Tian Feng pondered: "Now the situation is different from our army, the generals in the army think about returning, and the morale has been frustrated one after another. ”

"I have ceded Liyang, Cao Jun entered my Jizhou border, and now you want me to join forces with it?" Yuan Shang looked at Tian Feng and said angrily.

"Lord!" Fu Zhu stood up, bowed and said: "Now our army's morale is low, don't say that the siege of the city, it is the small village set up by the thieves outside the city, our army is difficult to overcome, and Ma Chao continues to attack our army's grain road, at this time, we can only join forces with the Cao army to have a chance to retake Yecheng." ”

"Isn't there any other way?" Yuan Shang frowned and said, Yuan Tan's matter made him hate Cao Cao to the core, even more than his hatred for Chen Mo, and now if he wants to join forces with Cao Cao, it is like swallowing a fly.

"Yes." Tian Feng Chen was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Yuan Shang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Tian Feng and said, "Will the plan come out?" ”

Tian Feng hesitated for a moment: "Give up Yecheng, retreat to Handan, take advantage of Chen Cao's attack, reorganize the army, and when both sides are tired, then send troops to conscript, but in this way, I am afraid it will be ...... to recapture Yecheng."

The strength of Yecheng, if it weren't for Chen Mo taking advantage of the situation and finding a flaw in Yecheng, how could it be broken by Chen Mo? On the contrary, even if the final winner of this battle is Chen Mo or Cao Cao, the situation of the three parties separating Jizhou is the best ending for the Yuan family, and it will be difficult to regain Yecheng from Chen Mo or Cao Cao.

Yuan Shang was silent when he heard this, although he didn't want to join forces with Cao Cao, but giving up Yecheng would be too much of a loss for him.

Not only are all the generals' families in Yecheng, but the Yuan family's families and the Son of Heaven are also in Yecheng, and giving up Yecheng is likely to make the Yuan family collapse, from the former first prince of the world to gradually being excluded from the list of the top three, he can only look up to Chen Mo and Cao Cao to compete for the north, which is by no means what Yuan Shang wants to see.

"The lord ......" sighed lightly: "In the past, there was the king of Yue Gou Jian lying on the salary to taste the courage, the lord is a monarch, when the overall situation is the priority, now in Cao Cao joined forces, you can save the strength of the army generals and their families are imprisoned in Yecheng, sit and watch Chen Cao fight, wait for the opportunity, when the time comes, our army can also follow the example of Chen Mo to take advantage of the situation and retake Yecheng, but if the army retreats at this time, not only Yecheng will have no hope of regaining it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Yuan family to recover its former prosperity!" ”

Yuan Shang was speechless, putting aside his feelings, now joining forces with Cao Jun is indeed the best choice, emotionally, it is indeed the best choice, he sighed for a long time, and looked at the three people: "According to the words of the two gentlemen, who is going to talk to Cao Thief about this matter?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and finally got up and said, "Then I will go down to discuss this matter." ”

"Mr. is going, be careful, General Gao Ran will escort Mr. there." Yuan Shang nodded and instructed, now in this area, the Guanzhong army is frequent, almost like his own backyard, and he has to guard against it.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's a matter of mutual benefit, and Cao Cao has no reason to refuse." Fu Zhi nodded and smiled: "My lord, don't fight with that Chen army again, everything will be discussed after Cao Jun arrives." ”

Now that the battle situation has come to this, Fu Zhi did not delay much, and after bidding farewell to Yuan Shang, he set off to look at the white horse after meeting Gao Lan.

On the other side, Yecheng, the former General's Mansion.

Although the fight is in full swing outside, Chen Mo's life has always maintained his own rules.

Early in the morning, Chen Mo had just woken up, and Zhen Mi was washing and changing clothes for him, when Dian Wei's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Lord, Yanjin is urgent." ”

"Say what?" Chen Mo smiled at the door amid Zhen Mi's exclamation.

"This ......" Dian Wei unfolded the bamboo slips, looked at the large number of words, and said after reading them with sleepiness: "A big victory." ”

"And then?" Chen Mo teased Zhen Mi and asked curiously outside the door: "How to win?" ”

"Defended for a month, and then went out and won, defeated more than 10,000 Cao troops, beheaded more than 1,000, Cao Jun trampled on each other and killed 3,000, in addition to 2,728 surrendered troops, injured the enemy general Xiahou Dan Yiyi, but the Wuyi brothers were also seriously injured, and the letter was written by Cheng Fang." Dian Wei said at the end, and his voice was a little deep.

"What!?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this, motioned for Zhen Mi to go to the inner room, put on a piece of clothing and pushed the door out, snatched the bamboo slip from Zi Dian Wei's hand, frowned, and said, "With such a big victory, how can the Lord be seriously injured!?" Are those guards under his command decorations? ”
