"Hiss~" Cao Cao lay in the tent, making a light hiss from time to time, his buttocks were already medicated, but the pain was really painful, and for a long time, I was afraid that I would not be able to ride a horse.

"This Chen Mo is too despicable." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "I regard him as a brother, he is so ......"

Xiahoudun on the side looked at Cao Cao a little speechlessly, you seem to be calculating him? You're actually pretty much the same.

"Lord, in today's battle, we lost a lot of people." Xiahoudun had some food, and thanks to the terrain in this area, they retreated into the Meridian Valley and held the dangerous road, although Chen Mo had many soldiers, but Cao's army defended according to the danger, and they couldn't attack it for a while.

Cao Cao nodded, this battle was a little aggrieved, although Chen Mo couldn't attack it, they couldn't fight it either.

"My lord, now it seems that we can't keep the Son of Heaven." Xiahoudun sat beside Cao Cao and still said the words.

"Not necessarily!" Cao Cao shook his head and said: "It's too early to give up now, let the Chen family thief laugh at it, this arrow can't be in vain~yo~hiss~whoa~"

"But ......" Xiahou said with a wry smile: "Chen Mo appears here, I'm afraid that the road to Nanyang has been blocked, if we don't let go of the Son of Heaven at this moment, I'm afraid I'll ......."

"That's a good word." Cao Cao changed his posture, touched the wound again, and grinned in pain: "But there is only one way to go to Nanyang, this Meridian Valley can enter Hanzhong, I will wait to go to Hanzhong by Meridian Valley, and then go to Nanyang from Hanzhong." ”

"Lord, this Meridian Valley is not easy to walk!" Xiahoudun's face changed when he heard this, the Meridian Valley is more than 600 miles long, not to mention that the roads are difficult and even there are no roads in many places, just this more than 600 miles away, just the grain and grass are not enough to eat, and most of these soldiers and horses may have to be lost here.

"It's not easy to walk, but it can't be walked, now we have only this way, and the Son of Heaven must not fall into the hands of Chen Mo!" Cao Cao lay on the cushion, shook his head and said, "You choose three hundred people to bring enough grain and grass, and I will escort the Son of Heaven out of here overnight." ”

Chen Mo has the land of Merge Prefecture and Heluo, and now he has to Guanzhong again, there is the solidity of Kun Kuo, and it is more about the fertile soil, if Chen Mo is allowed to hold the Son of Heaven again, then Cao Cao will not play, he can only rely on Yuan Shao to compete with Chen Mo, Cao Cao came to Guanzhong with all the hardships this time, for the Son of Heaven, as for these soldiers and horses, now they can only give up, and exchange ten thousand troops for the Son of Heaven, and they will not suffer.

"But if Chen Mo pursues ......," Xiahou said with a wry smile.

"He won't chase, now is a good time for him to win Guanzhong, my virtuous brother is a person who is broken, Li Guo has not been removed, and there are Ma Teng and Han Sui, he will not delay here for too long, he must make a choice, otherwise it is likely that the Son of Heaven may not be able to get it, and Guanzhong will not be able to occupy it all." Cao Cao grinned and said, although he ate an arrow, it was enough to win the Son of Heaven in this trip.

"The lord still regards him as a friend?" Xiahou was puzzled, today the two of them quickly rolled up their sleeves and went into battle in person.

"Fighting for the Son of Heaven, fighting for orthodoxy is righteousness, this is the public, but in private terms, he is the teacher of Zi Xiu, and he is also my friend, there is no conflict, of course, if there is a chance, I still have to kill him!" Cao Cao got up and smiled: "Presumably he thinks the same way." ”

Xiahoudun couldn't understand this, so he could only nod in agreement and said, "Then I'll go and prepare?" ”

"Well, remember not to leak the news, just say that you can choose the elite to break the enemy." Cao Cao nodded.

"Your injury......" Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao's buttocks.

"Don't get in the way, bring those soldiers who know how to heal, oh ......"

"Whoa!" Xiahoudun agreed, turned around and went to prepare.

……

Late at night, Chen Mo sat in the Chinese army, silently sat for a long time, finally sighed, looked in the direction of Cao Jun's camp, and smiled bitterly, Jia Xu is right, you can't have both fish and bear's paws!

"Lord!" Dian Wei came in with Bai Bi and Han Kai and saluted Chen Mo.

"Prepare, early tomorrow morning, pull out the camp and go to martial arts." Chen Mo stood up and looked at the trio.

"Lord, Cao Cao has been besieged by us, how can he give up?" Dian Wei was stunned.

"It's not that I'm giving up, it's just that at this moment, Cao Cao may have left, and tomorrow will recruit some soldiers at most." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"I'll chase after this!" Dian Wei said immediately when he heard this.

"If you can't catch up, the other party is in danger, if you venture in, it will be a situation where ten thousand arrows pierce your heart." Chen Mo shook his head.

Bai Bi on the side frowned when he heard this: "The lord is saying that Cao Cao will go to the Meridian Valley?" ”

"It seems that this way it should be now!" Chen Mo nodded, after nightfall, his luck gradually settled from ups and downs, and it fell to a normal level, slightly higher, that is to say, carefully calculated, it is not difficult to draw conclusions, Cao Cao can successfully get out of the Meridian Valley I don't know, but Chen Mo this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to grab the Son of Heaven again, and I can't help but admire Cao Cao's decisiveness in my heart, this Meridian Valley is six hundred and sixty miles long, even if you go out, you still have to live a mediocre and Zhuyang, after entering Nanyang, if you meet Liu Biao's army, it is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Liu Biao, It can be said that every step is dangerous, but he still made a decision without hesitation.

Changing places, Chen Mo was not sure if he would walk into this Meridian Valley so resolutely.

Bai Bi and the others didn't know how Chen Mo was sure, but since Chen Mo said so, he could only act according to orders.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, as Chen Mo said, the Cao army guarding the valley began to be chaotic, Chen Mo just sent someone to try to surrender, and it was easy to say that a lot of Cao troops had been surrendered.

"The lord is clever, last night Cao Cao took the general Xiahoudun and three hundred elites to escort the Son of Heaven and grain and grass away, and now the Cao army in this valley has no subordinates, it is all in chaos, and the last general is just going to surrender, half of them have been surrendered, and the rest will not last long." Bai Bi looked at Chen Mo with admiration.

Is it a clever idea?

Chen Mo shook his head, he didn't seem to be that powerful, and what if he counted it? Cao Cao was desperate, but he had a lot of concerns, and in the end he failed to regain the Son of Heaven.

"Lord, I'm afraid that Cao Cao has never gone far, and there are only three hundred soldiers around him, why don't you lead a group of men and horses to chase after him?" Han Kai couldn't help but say.

"No need, I am not familiar with the terrain of this Meridian Valley, and if I rush in, I will be calculated by him, leaving a group of men and horses to guard here, recruiting and surrendering troops, and the rest of the people will go to martial arts with me." Chen Mo shook his head, he also had this thought, but the terrain of Meridian Valley is not useful if there are many soldiers, and it is impossible for him to chase it personally, Guanzhong still needs him to preside over the overall situation, he has already lost the Son of Heaven, and Guanzhong can not lose it again.

"Whoa!" The generals responded in unison, leaving a group of men and horses to guard here to recruit Cao's army to surrender, and the rest of the people set up camp and rushed to Wugong with Chen Mo.

As soon as he got out of the valley, he saw a scout come to report: "My lord, I found a large group of cavalry coming straight here." ”

"When it's the chasing soldiers sent by Guo Yan, line up!" Chen Mo looked up, and saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the ground began to tremble, this is the momentum of the cavalry galloping, it should be the pursuers sent by Guo Yan to pursue Cao Cao, now that they have met, they will naturally meet for a while.

"Woo~"

In the melodious sound of the horn, a famous flag officer quickly occupied the high ground, Chen Mo's flag officer ordered the flag to wave continuously, and the sergeants under his command quickly formed a battle formation and faced the rushing Xiliang cavalry.

On the other side, Zhao Cen was put on a stand by Cao Cao, and he walked for a day only to find that he was holding back his anger in his heart, and he was about to catch up with Cao Cao and make him look good, but he found that the battle formation was already lined up in front of him, looking at the posture, there were no less than 10,000 people!

Zhao Cen quickly ordered to slow down, slowly stopped a stone's throw away from Chen Mo's army, and looked at Chen Mo's military formation in front of him in disbelief, thinking that Cao Cao had reinforcements, but when he saw Chen Mo's banner, he was a little panicked.

"I'm Chen Mo, which general is in front of you, please come out and talk about it!" Chen Mo took Dian Wei out of the battle, came to the front of the two armies, and said loudly.

Zhao Cen hesitated for a moment, rode out of the battle, but did not leave the military formation too far, and saluted Chen Mo from a distance: "The last general, Zhao Cen, has seen Chen Yuanjun!" ”

The two also have some intersections, Zhao Cen went to Yique Pass with Li Xian back then, and he was not too familiar with Chen Mo, but he still knew each other.

"It turned out to be General Zhao, and it has been three years since Yique Pass was said goodbye in the past, and it seems that the general is doing well now." Chen Mo smiled.

After Zhao Cen was silent for a moment, he arched his hand at Chen Mo and said, "I have no intention of being an enemy of the envoy, but this time I was ordered to pursue the Cao thief, and I hope that the envoy will not be embarrassed." ”

Zhao Cen obviously didn't want to fight with Chen Mo, Mo said that the troops around Chen Mo were not easy to deal with at first glance, but now he was still on Chen Mo's territory, once he was entangled by Chen Mo, I was afraid that he would soon be surrounded, and besides, he didn't come out this time to fight with Chen Mo.

"There's no need to chase, Cao Cao has already escaped into the Meridian Valley, and it's useless to chase him at the moment." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

Zhao Cen hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand at Chen Mo: "Since this is the case, then I will retire!" ”

"General Zhao go slowly, I have something to say!" Chen Mo greeted.

"I don't know what else the envoy commands?" Zhao Cen frowned and looked at Chen Mo, although the other party had many soldiers, it was not easy to keep him, even if he couldn't fight, he could still run away.

"Li Dao and Guo Yan are fighting again, right?" Chen Mo looked at Zhao Cen and said with a smile: "General Zhao, there is no son of heaven in the hands of the two, and now they are trapped in Fufeng, I have ordered the army to go to besiege it, and my team is now also ready to rush to martial arts." ”

Zhao Cen didn't answer, just looked at Chen Mo and asked, "What does the general mean by this?" ”

"The Son of Heaven has been obtained by Cao Cao, Chang'an has been occupied by me, Li Dao and Guo Yan have exhausted their popularity, even if the general goes back, I have mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, don't say that Li Dao and Guo Yan have turned against each other again, that is, no general thinks that Li Dao and Guo Yan can really stop me? The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose their masters, and now that Li Guo and the two are exhausted, and their defeat is imminent, they are really willing to be martyred for the two of them? Chen Mo looked at Zhao Cen with a sincere face: "Chen is not talented, but he is also the master of one party, if he can get the help of the general, he will be treated well!" ”

Zhao Cen was a little hesitant when he heard this, he could turn his back on Li Dao and vote for Guo Yan when Li Dao was poor, so he naturally didn't mind switching to Chen Mo at this time, just defecting like this, it inevitably seemed that he had done something by himself, but Chen Mo's words really made him excited.

Li Dao and Guo Yan had a big fight in Yixian County, and Zhao Cen didn't know what the situation was now, but no matter who won or lost, Chen Mo obviously would not let go of this opportunity, compared to the two of them, Chen Mo was indeed more powerful.

"General, now that the situation is urgent, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Chen Mo reminded in a loud voice.

That's it!

Zhao Cen smiled bitterly, dismounted and saluted Chen Mo: "The last general has admired the lord for a long time, and he only hates that there is no way to serve. ”

"Good!" Chen Mo showed a smile on his face, this has not yet started the war, not only won a general of the other party, but also got five thousand cavalry, Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, took Dian Wei to the front of the Xiliang army, personally helped Zhao Cen up, and smiled at Zhao Cen: "The general also led the men and horses of the headquarters and went out with the army, and after this battle, I will ask the court for the general's credit." ”

At this time, it is better not to seize military power, otherwise it is easy to backfire.

Zhao Cen said gratefully: "The last general takes the order!" ”
