When I returned to Mengjin, it was already evening, and the river did not rise again, and it seemed that the upstream diversion was doing a good job, but even so, with the current water potential, it was still a little reluctant to cross the river.

Chen Mo stood at the ferry, observing the water situation, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Lord, are you looking for us?" Han Kai and Bai Bi came behind Chen Mo and bowed.

"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Mengjin no longer needs to be defended, except for the Hun soldiers, you two lead other people and horses, and after the river level eases, immediately cross the river and occupy Jiguan, this is quite important in our army, there must be no mistake!" ”

Keiguan is built on Wangwu Mountain, which is the key place between Hanoi and Hedong, Wang Kuang is dead, but what is the situation in Hanoi now, he has just established a relationship with the princes, Chen Mo does not want to break it immediately, but Hanoi will definitely be occupied in the future, and occupying Keiguan will occupy the initiative to attack Hanoi, which is very important to Chen Mo.

"Go and prepare, Meng Jin is useless to our army, but we need to leave a group of men and horses ready to respond, and when the matter of Luoyang is over, I will go and retreat to Hanoi from now on, and join you at Keiguan." Chen Mo patted the shoulders of the two and smiled.

"The last general commands!" The two bowed and went to integrate the soldiers and horses.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo is leaving, why do we still want to stay?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo suspiciously: "It's better to cross the river as soon as possible, maybe you can take advantage of the situation to capture Hanoi." ”

"Although Wang Kuang is dead, it does not mean that Hanoi has no owner, and if we take it rashly, just dealing with the crusade of the princes will make us exhausted, and it is best to justify it!" Chen Mo shook his head: "If it really doesn't work, let's get some people from Hanoi and talk about it later." ”

At present, everything is around Bingzhou and Chang'an, occupying Hanoi may be able to have more than 100,000 people, but it will also become the entry point for the princes to attack themselves, if you let yourself fall into the quagmire of war, it is better to give up Hanoi for the time being, take the Bingzhou first, and then plan Guanzhong, if you can get the land of Guanzhong, then return to Hanoi again, it will be easy.

"It's too much trouble." Dian Wei shook his head, not quite understanding the difference.

"That's why you read more books." Chen Mo glared at him angrily and said.

"Lord, what should we do next?" Dian Wei hurriedly changed the topic, it is impossible to read books, and if you want to read, you will let your son read them in the future.

"Contact the princes, Xu Rong should be retiring in the next two days." Chen Mo said with a smile, anyway, Dong Zhuo is leaving, just give Luoyang to the princes, and get another favor.

Xu Rong did receive an order to withdraw his troops, but he lay in ambush at Da Ling Mountain for a few days, and if the princes pursued, he would take advantage of the situation to ambush the princes, and if not, he would quickly retreat to Hangu Pass.

Will Chen Mo respond from the sidelines?

Xu Rong looked at the letter sent by Dong Zhuo, looked at Guanwai again, sighed, and chose to accept the order.

In fact, the princes are weak at the moment, if there are enough troops, kill them at this moment, the princes' coalition army may be vulnerable, but most of Luoyang's soldiers and horses are transferred to Guanzhong, and the rest are guarded in the area of Yique Pass.

"Zhou Yong!" Xu Rong looked at his side, there were many generals around him, but there were not many who had the ability to fight alone, and Zhou Yong was barely one.

"The last general!" Zhou Yong stepped out of the queue and bowed.

"You take 7,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Luoyang first, and after making sure that the Taishi leaves, then retreat to Hangu Pass!" Xu Rong said in a deep voice.

"General, this ......" Zhou Yong was shocked when he heard this, looked at Xu Rong and said: "As soon as the seven thousand soldiers and horses are withdrawn, this Chenggao will not have many troops." ”

Cheng Gao plus the 800 men and horses brought by Zhou Yong later, aside from the loss of defending the city during this time, not even 10,000, now directly transfer 7,000 people, Cheng Gao does not even have 3,000 soldiers and horses, how to resist the more than 100,000 coalition troops outside the pass?

"Taishi has an order, abandon Chenggao, you take the baggage first, I will lead the army to ambush here, if there is a thief army to pursue, I will defeat him for a while, and then retreat!" Xu Rong looked at Zhou Yong and smiled, "Don't worry. ”

"Whoa!" After Zhou Yong learned that he was going to withdraw his troops, he breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Xu Rong, and bowed to retreat.

……

The Xingyang battalion, after learning that most of the soldiers were only infected with the wind cold, the princes breathed a sigh of relief, although this thing can also be deadly, but at least there is no plague horror.

Cao Cao took the letter sent by Yu Sheng, frowned and looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Alliance leader, this is a great opportunity, revive the Han Dynasty, just kill Dong Thief, you can take advantage of the situation to attack Guanzhong and welcome back the Son of Heaven, why is the alliance leader hesitating at this time?" ”

As long as you send a group of people, you don't need too much, as long as thousands of people enter from Mengjin and go straight to Luoyang, you can make Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo lose their ground, and Cheng Gao and Yique Pass will be meaningless, and then the army will take advantage of the situation to attack Cheng Gao, exterminate Dong Zhuo, and resettle the world at this time, but at this time, not only Yuan Shao hesitated, but Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Qiao Mao, Liu Dai and these people also chose to ignore.

"It's not as simple as Meng De thought!" Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "If Chen Mo is deceitful and not sincere, wouldn't it ruin the lives of the soldiers?" ”

"Yuan Gong!" Zang Hong frowned, looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Hong is willing to vouch for his life, although Chen Mo has had in the past, he is by no means such a trustworthy villain!" ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Ziyuan misunderstood, but this matter is very important, so don't be in a hurry...... Talk again! Talk again! ”

"Report!" At this moment, a junior colonel came in and said to Yuan Shao: "Qi Qi Alliance Leader, Yu Sheng is asking to see you outside the tent." ”

"Tell him that I've already read the letter he brought." Yuan Shao waved his hand a little impatiently, what is the mess?

"Alliance leader, Yu Sheng said that there is new news from the right general Chen Mo, which is related to the victory or defeat of our army." That little school.

"Let him in." Cao Cao waved at the little school.

Xiao Xiao looked at Yuan Shao with some hesitation.

"According to Mende's words!" Yuan Shao sighed and asked the junior colonel to bring Yu Sheng in.

After a while, Yu Sheng came in under the leadership of the little school, and saluted Yuan Shao: "The last general, Yu Sheng, have seen the alliance leader!" ”

"What's the news?" Yuan Shao asked.

"The bamboo slips sent by my lord, Dong Zhuo has retreated to Hangu Pass, the defenders of Chenggao will want to be a car gull in a few days, my lord has led his troops to intercept it, please send troops as soon as possible, capture Chenggao, and attack with my lord!" Yu Sheng bowed.

"Chen Mo has always been witty, why is he so reckless this time!?" Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and frowned: "Quick, send someone to Chenggao to investigate, whether Xu Rong has withdrawn!" ”

Zang Hong hurriedly ordered Yang Mao, the general under Zhang Chao, to lead his troops to investigate, but half a day later, Yang Mao came back and said to everyone: "Alliance leader, the Chenggao army has retreated, and our department has occupied Chenggao, so I implore the alliance leader to send troops as soon as possible!" ”

"Stand down, when will it be your turn to speak here?" Yuan Shao frowned, glared at Yang Mao, what kind of mess is it?

Yang Mao is Chen Mo's fellow villager, he fell into the Yellow Turban with Chen Mo, and later Chen Mo got in touch with Zang Hong and Zhang Chao, and finally not only got out of trouble, Yang Mao also went to Cai's family, and followed Zhang Chao, and later Zhang Chao was promoted to Guangling Taishou because of his merits, Yang Mao also had merit for begging for thieves, plus Zang Hong's appreciation, and now he is a leading general under Zhang Chao.

Although he hadn't seen him for several years, Yang Mao was still very concerned about Chen Mo, and at this moment, he learned that Chen Mo might be in crisis, how not to be in a hurry.

"Yang Mao, step aside!" Zhang Chao saw that Yang Mao still wanted to speak, and hurriedly scolded.

Yang Mao's face turned red, and he was pulled by Zang Hong, Zang Hong smiled and said: "This person is a fellow villager of Mo'er, and he is worried about Mo'er's safety, so he is in a hurry, Yuan Gong, this is a good time, you should make a break as soon as possible, otherwise this kind of opportunity can not be repeated!" ”

Yuan Shao sighed and said: "It's just that now the officers and soldiers of the three armies are affected by the wind and cold, and they have no combat power, I'm afraid it is unknown whether they can catch up with Dong Zhuo, Chen Mo's safety is important, but ......"

"I'll chase it!" Cao Cao was a little disappointed, and at this time, he was still timid, and he needed to know that the opportunity was fleeting and he couldn't wait any longer.

"Meng De, even if Dong Zhuo retreats, there will be soldiers after the break, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!" Yuan Shao's side, Tao Qian persuaded.

"Then you have to chase it!" Cao Cao looked at everyone: "Do you have anyone who is willing to go with Cao?" ”

"The last will go!" Yang Mao said immediately.

Cao Cao nodded, and looked at everyone again, but saw that the princes avoided his gaze one by one.

Zang Hong said: "I'll go with Meng De, Meng Gao, lend me some soldiers and horses!" ”

In the face of his friend's direct request for troops, Zhang Chao could only agree with a wry smile, and allocated 2,000 men and horses to Zang Hong.

……

Beibi Mountain.

Seeing Chen Mo smearing blood on himself again, and rolling in the soil, Dian Wei was a little repulsed by such behavior, but he couldn't screw Chen Mo, so he could only follow Chen Mo and wipe the collected blood on his face, while complaining: "Lord, most of the soldiers and horses of Chenggao have gone, I will wait for it to be killed now, why bother?" What's the point of waiting here? ”

"I want to see how many loyal servants this big man still has!" Chen Mo rubbed his face, and destroyed all his wooden arrows, these things, after all, still didn't come in handy, tied the sharp arrows to the string, and put them into the quiver one by one: "Although...... has decided not to go down this path again, but ...... After all, I have some regrets in my heart, and I want people to humiliate me! ”

"This change of dynasty is a common thing, if you want me to say, the Han should also die, look at those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, what has become of the world?" Dian Wei didn't care much about this.

Chen Mo's actions seemed to him to be a bit excessive.

"Then I want to take credit for this, what do you think?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei Dao with amusement.

"Is this the case, I'll just say that the lord won't do anything that is not beneficial." Dian Wei grinned.

"Can you memorize the thousand-word essay I wrote for you? I've got to test it next month. Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Uh...... Lord, are you communiquéing a personal vendetta? Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo with round eyes.

"I'm doing this for your good, I can know those thousand words, and when I go out in the future, at least no one will bully you for not being literate." Chen Mo smiled.

Dian Wei suddenly wanted to give himself two mouths, what more words......
