Chapter 400: Cao Cao's Strange Soldiers
In the ninth year of the Han Dynasty, on the third day of the first lunar month, at this time of the previous year, Chen Mo was mostly with his family, but the war in Qingzhou was about to start, and Chen Mo arrived in Langya with his personal guards and 20,000 Chen family troops on the day before the first day of the new year.
One hundred and twenty miles east of Ju County, is Haiqu, and then more than thirty miles to the east, is the endless sea, the sky is a little dark, it snows in many places in the west, and this winter is a little cold.
tightened the robe on his body, looked at the sea in front of him that seemed to be connected with the sky, and his mood couldn't help but give birth to an indescribable heroism.
Speaking of which, although Chen Mo has fought in the north and south over the years, he has never been to the Yangtze River, I don't know how magnificent the rolling Yangtze River is, born in Xuzhou, but the sea is the first time I have seen it in this life.
I came here to survey the terrain, and I was also worried that Cao Jun would use the navy to attack his rear, but this did not affect the shock of seeing the sea for the first time.
"In the past, I only felt that the waterfall in Huguan was already a thousand weather, and when I saw the sea today, I knew how shallow I knew in the past, Gongda, do you say that there is really a Kunpeng in this world as described in the getaway?" Chen Mo stood on the seashore, looking at the vast sea, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I haven't seen it, and I dare not say it." Xun You smiled and shook his head.
"In the past, when I watched the getaway, I always felt that it was the imagination of the old people, but now when I look at this sea, I don't know if there really is that kind of divine beast." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "If one day, the world is too peaceful, I really want to see the world outside the territory of the Great Han Dynasty." ”
Xun You smiled when he heard this: "The Lord is just in the prime of life, how can he give birth to such late words?" ”
"Life is short, the war in Qingzhou is over, there will be no opponents in the world, what about sweeping the world? Two or three hundred years later, there will be another great chaos. Chen Mo sighed, since he entered the office, he has fought on the battlefield, intrigued, in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, the boy of the year, has become the hero of the world today, but for Chen Mo, he can't help but feel a little tired in his heart, he has been in a high place for a long time, and that sense of loneliness is difficult for others to understand.
"Lord, you are a genius in the sky, and the wealth of knowledge in your chest is rare in ancient and modern times, is there no immortal dynasty in this world for thousands of years or even ten thousand years?" Xun You suddenly said curiously.
"Difficult." Chen Mo shook his head, looked at the vast horror, and sighed: "Maybe it will appear in thousands of years, but now...... No way. ”
The more things you know, the more desperate you are sometimes, because as far as your eyes can see, what you see is one reincarnation after another, he has calculated countless kinds of political systems in his heart, but no matter what, it is difficult to really achieve eternal peace, there seems to be an invisible cage between heaven and earth, so that the world repeatedly enters the strange circle of being divided for a long time, and Chen Mo can't find an exit.
He had already flipped through all the books he could find, the study of governing the world, the science of salvation, and the theory of the art of war, but he failed to solve the doubts in Chen Mo's heart, but made him doubt even more.
"My lord, I have a question." Xun Yu hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Just ask." Chen Mo turned his head, glanced at Xun You, and said with a smile.
"Now that the lord knows the ending, have you ever thought about letting it go?" Xun You's question was a bit rebellious, and it sounded like he had the intention of persuading Chen Mo to let go.
"Nope." Chen Mo shook his head, looked at the turbulent sea in front of him and said: "Different people, see different things, what I see is the suffering of the common people, even if I know that it will cycle in the end, but at least I can keep them peaceful for a hundred years, I believe that no one in this world can do better than me, life is only decades, since I am in this position, I should naturally do something for this world, in this world, there is too much suffering, if there is less, there will be less, if I don't fight, in today's world, who can do better than me?" ”
"I see." Xun You nodded and said with a smile: "I am willing to serve the Lord and serve the dogs and horses." ”
"It's too late for you to ask." Chen Mo glanced at him, shook his head and laughed, and then sighed: "How big is this world?" I really want to know, looking at the sea today, how do you know that the so-called center of the world of my Han is not a drop in the ocean? ”
"I also feel that the lord is different from the kings of the past and the present, the lord is an all-rounder, and he is also a wise man, and he should not be involved in the disputes of this world." Xun You said with a smile.
"I'm like a fairy, but I'm a layman, I'm also good at gorgeous clothes, food, and beauty, this is human desire, I know a lot, and it just makes me awe of this world, let's go." Chen Mo tightened the robe on his body and smiled.
"Do you want to fortify here?" Xun You asked.
"No need, Cao Cao can't come, I don't remember that there is a naval army in Qingzhou, just set up some beacon guards." Chen Mo shook his head, this sea is rough, Chen Mo has asked some seaside fishermen, even experienced old fishermen, and they don't dare to go too deep into the sea, let alone sail in the army.
Xun You nodded, followed Chen Mo out of the bay, about to fight, since it was determined that there could be no enemy troops here, Chen Mo's focus would be on the battle line around Jiwu Mountain.
However, what Chen Mo didn't expect was that before he arrived at the front line, Zhang He was defeated first.
When he returned to Juxian County and heard the news of Zhang He's defeat, Chen Mo was a little incredulous, and hurriedly recruited soldiers to inquire about the battle.
No matter how you look at it, with the defense formulated by Zhang He, it is impossible to defeat so quickly, and the defense line built by Zhang He is Chen Mo, and he does not dare to say that he can break through this defense line, let alone in such a short time.
"Lord, it was Xiahou Yuan who didn't know how to go around to the rear of our army, and suddenly killed, the army was not prepared at all, so he was raided by Xiahou Yuan, the generals in the battalion were defeated, the Cao army on the front line took advantage of the situation to advance thirty miles, most of the dock forts were broken by the Cao army, the main force of our army has been defeated, and it is too late to rescue the front line dock forts, and now General Zhang is reining in the defeated army and re-establishing the defense line." Zhang He's lieutenant quickly explained.
"Xiahou Yuan?" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this, how could Xiahou Yuan suddenly appear in the rear camp?
"Map!" On the side, Xun You hurriedly ordered someone to bring the map, which marked the dock fort built by Zhang He, a very wide one, layered, interlocking, from the front, it is impossible to kill silently, there will definitely be an early warning ahead.
"Lord, it is impossible to kill directly from the front, the only possibility is that Xiahou Yuan led the army over the Jiwu Mountain to kill here!" Xun You's finger drew a non-existent road on the map along the line of Mt. Keiwu.
"It can't be!" Several generals in the tent looked incredulous when they heard this, they fought over the mountains, and it was a mountain range like Mt. Keiya, even if the army could enter, what would people eat in it? Even if they are lucky enough to come over the mountain, how can such an army still have combat power? How did you succeed in the raid on the camp?
"Nothing is impossible, it has already happened, so don't say it." Chen Mo looked at the map, although it was a little unbelievable, but something had happened, so the only possibility was that no matter how unbelievable it was, he had to admit it.
"Order Zhang He, shrink the defensive line, my side will retreat to Zhengrong Valley, and form a new defense line as much as possible, no matter what method he uses, drag Cao Jun for me, buy me as much time as possible, and other people from all walks of life, quickly assemble to Mutai, Yangdu and Zhengrong Valley!" Tell Ma Jun to mobilize all the people who can be mobilized, hook the dock fort, at most a month, in this area, there must be at least hundreds of dock forts formed, as for where to stand, then I will order someone to give him the drawings, first gather people! ”
"Whoa!"
As Chen Mo gave orders one after another, the heralds began to rush out of the city, and Chen Mo also got up and looked at everyone: "Juxian can no longer be defended, you will retreat to Zhengrong Valley with me first, in addition, tell Ma Chao, Hua Rong, and Xu Kai that they will come to converge and respond to Zhang He, and order Pang De, Zhang Xiu, Han De, and Cao Xing to lead their troops to attack and harass Cao's army and buy some time for Zhang He." ”
As soon as the defense line of Keiwu Mountain is broken, Ju County will be in danger, and it is impossible for Chen Mo to continue to stay here, he must re-select the battlefield as soon as possible to prevent Cao Cao's upcoming attack.
