Runan, Shangcai, has just been broken by Cao Cao not long ago, and now Yingchuan and Lu are occupied by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu's power is constantly declining.

Although Cao Cao failed to take Xuzhou because of Liu Bei's relationship, half of Yuzhou has fallen into Cao Cao's hands.

"Lord, the news just came that Chen Mo has arrived in Luoyang, and he is patrolling the Chenggao area in the past few days!" Xiahoudun hurriedly came in, looked at Cao Cao with some excitement in his eyes and said, "Lord, do you think Chen Mo will fight with Yuan Shao this time?" We ......"

Xiahoudun made a fist clenching motion, obviously wanting to take advantage of Chen Mo and Yuan Shao's fight.

"If you can't fight, Xiliang's aftermath is endless, and he won't get out easily." Cao Cao shook his head, Chen Mo came to Heluo, and was so easily probed by his own people, obviously telling Yuan Shao that he was coming, even if Yuan Shao broke through Dongwuyang, he would not kill Zang Hong, Gongsun Zan was much more threatening than Ma Teng and Han Sui, and Yuan Shao could not turn his face with Chen Mo at this time, in the end, it was estimated that the two families would take a step back.

"Can't you ask the military advisor to plan it?" Xiahoudun was a little unwilling.

Speaking of military advisors, a touch of worry flashed on Cao Cao's face, Xi Zhicai's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and he often coughs up blood, which is why Cao Cao did not bring Xi Zhicai with him this time to Runan, and let him stay in Juancheng to recuperate, but the feedback from the doctor to Cao Cao is not optimistic.

"The military advisor's opinion should be the same as mine, it's best not to meddle in this matter, what we need to do now is to expand our strength, not to instigate the two tigers to fight, if we are also involved at this time, the final result is likely to be two tigers fighting, we will be eliminated first!" Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Xuan, although Xi Zhicai is powerful, is this doubting his own ability? It seems that this brother has been a little inflated recently.

In fact, Cao Cao is also quite melancholy, even if he tried his best to recapture Xuzhou and destroy Yuan Shu, in the end it was just a situation in which the three heroes in the north stood together, this was the most stable and the most unwilling to see the situation when he was discussing with Xi Zhicai, but when Chen Mo rose, Cao Cao was also trying to survive in the cracks, and he couldn't stop it at all, and maybe even his little brother didn't want to see his rise, so he could only say that creation made people.

"Lord!" Cao Hong walked in from outside the tent, filled with a sinister aura, and carried a bloody package in his hand.

"Looks like good news." Cao Cao smiled when he saw this.

"The thief He Man has been killed by my own hands, and most of the remnants of the Yellow Turban have surrendered, according to the orders of the lord, they have not been killed, but they have been taken care of." Cao Hong grinned and said, "It's a pity that he ran away." ”

"Good!" Cao Cao stroked his palm and smiled: "Killing He Man is to cut off that Liu Pi's arm and speed up, these Yellow Turban thieves are much weaker than the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the past, and they will quickly settle Runan." ”

Yuan Shu fought with Liu Bei under Cao Cao's instigation, and he had to include Runan in his bag before Yuan Shu reacted, further compressing Yuan Shu's living space, and then ...... Hit Liu Bei!

Cao Cao can see it, although Liu Bei is not enough, but he is a person who does great things, if he fights Yuan Shu first, Liu Bei will definitely give up his previous suspicions to help Yuan Shu, but if he beats Liu Bei, with Cao Cao's understanding of Yuan Shu, it is estimated that it will take a while to let go of the mustard in his heart, even if he and Liu Bei are the ones who do it first, so hit Liu Bei first, as for Yuan Shu, just say some good things, anyway, this Runan himself is fighting the Yellow Turban Army and not Yuan Shu, promise to return it, drag Yuan Shu first, Wait until you kill Liu Bei and then turn your face, although they are friends, but they still have to fight, this world is a battle for luck, if you want to talk about friendship, then no one can fight, now north of the Yangtze River, it is basically the former friends who are fighting.

"Whoa!"

……

On the other side, Cheng Gao and Xu Huang brought the battle report of the Central Plains to discuss with Chen Mo: "Lord, this Cao Cao has occupied the land of Lu, Yingchuan, and the land of Heluo, and the Central Plains are surrounded by him. ”

The map was spread out, and Xu Huang explained to Chen Mo the current situation in the Heluo area: "So the last general thinks that we can take advantage of Cao Cao's current presence in Runan, we can occupy Xingyang first, as long as Xingyang and Aocang are in the hands of the lord, whether to attack or defend will be decided by the lord." ”

Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, Xu Huang was brave and strategic, and he was not a person who was entrusted with important tasks by himself, so he turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said, "What does Wen He think?" ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "No wonder the lord often praises General Gongming for being comparable to Zhou Yafu in the past, and he is really a rare good general." ”

"Mr. is serious, and the last general will not dare to be ashamed!" Xu Huang bowed down a little excitedly, he really didn't know that Chen Mo had praised himself like this.

"Gongming is worthy of it, and today's people may not be worse than the ancients." Chen Mo glanced at Jia Xu approvingly, although Jia Xu was not praising himself, but he was further gaining Xu Huang's loyalty for himself, after all, Xu Huang was not Chen Mo's confidant general, he was a general, but now he was entrusted with an important task by Chen Mo, Duzhen Heluo, it is impossible to say that there is no slightest worry, otherwise Zhong Yun would not be put here, Jia Xu's sentence is more than Chen Mo's ten sentences and hundreds of sentences, not only praised Xu Huang, but also told Xu Huang in disguise that Chen Mo did not forget him, and relied on and trusted him quite much.

"This matter, it will be done according to Gongming's wishes, as for who guards Xingyang, Gongming may wish to see with me how this embroidery is, this time I will bring him, is to see his ability, if this time can make contributions, then call him to guard this Xingyang?" Chen Mo looked at Xu Huang with a smile.

"General Zhang's martial arts are indeed strong." Xu Huang nodded, when he was stationed in Fenglingdu, he had a few meetings with Zhang Xiu, but at that time, Zhang Xiu was following Zhang Ji, and he couldn't see anything other than martial arts, so Xu Huang only praised Zhang Xiu's martial arts well, as for whether it is suitable to lead an army to garrison Xingyang, just like Chen Mo said, it depends on Zhang Xiu's performance in this battle.

As for Zhang Xiu's loyalty, Chen Mo is not too worried, after all, Zhang Ji is still in the court, and the Zhang family is over there, plus Chen Mo's current military system, even if the generals can oppose it, the effect will not be too great, and the soldiers under him will definitely be the first to disagree.

"Is there any news from Dongwuyang?" After chatting about business, Chen Mo naturally wanted to pay attention to the things on his teacher's side.

"Yuan Shao has now cut off all the traffic arteries in the Dongwuyang area, and our army has been working hard to find out the news, and it is difficult to pass on the news." Jia Xu shook his head, right now, Dongwuyang has been splashed with surrounded water, and it is difficult to get the news of Dongwuyang.

"It should be soon, it's only a matter of time before Dongwuyang City is broken, even if the teacher can block Yuan Shao's attack, I'm afraid the food and grass in the city are about to run out." Chen Mo sighed.

Dongwuyang is not a county government, and the hoarded grain and grass are limited, so it can't support it for too long.

Jia Xu nodded silently, I hope so.

In April, the spring ploughing had ended, and Yuan Shao's army was still surrounded in Dongjun, Chen Mo frowned a little, and things seemed to be different from what he imagined.

"You say, generally defend the city, after the grain and grass are exhausted, how can you defend it again?" On this day, Chen Mo and Jia Xu came to Chenggao again, but their mentality was already a little different, accompanied by Xu Huang and Jia Xu, standing in the enemy tower and looking at the east, Chen Mo suddenly asked.

Xu Huang frowned slightly when he heard this, and when the food was exhausted, it seemed that it was difficult to defend it anymore.

"Have you ever heard of human breasts?" Jia Xu asked rhetorically.

"No, the teacher wouldn't do such a thing." Chen Mo immediately shook his head, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xu Huang on the side glanced at Jia Xu in astonishment, this gentleman who was very easy to get along with at first glance, but the words he said were a little infiltrating.

When Jia Xu heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Another month passed, at the beginning of May, Yu Sheng and Zhang Xiu joined forces, defeated Zhang Yang in the water, Zhang Yang was killed by the general Yang Chou on the way to Huai County, Yang Chou took Zhang Yang's head on the way to Yu Sheng, was killed by the general Zhenggu, Zhang Xiu and Yu Sheng quickly gathered Zhang Yang's defeated army, and according to Chen Mo's instructions, moved the people of Hanoi into Heluo.

For Chen Mo, the battle of Hanoi was a small victory, but he was not happy.

"Shulin." In the middle of the year, Yanshi was in the office, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhong Yundao.

"What does the lord command?" Zhong Yun bowed his head slightly and looked at Chen Modao.

"Take a trip to Dongjun for me, meet Yuan Shao, and tell him that he is willing to exchange the land of Hanoi for a family teacher." Chen Mo fumbled with the bamboo slip in his hand and handed it to Zhong Yundao: "After Yuan Shao agrees, you take this letter to the family master and ...... him Please come back. ”

In fact, there is no need to fight this battle in Dongjun, it will be lost, and Chen Mo came to Luoyang in person, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to really harm Zang Hong's life, as long as Zang Hong nods, he will be sent to Chen Mo's side, Zang Hong's current appearance is more like gambling with Yuan Shao with his own life and the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Dongwuyang.

"Whoa!" Zhong Yun took the bamboo slip handed by Chen Mo with both hands, nodded and said, "Lord, Yun will leave now." ”

Seeing that Chen Mo had nothing else to say, Zhong Yun got up and said goodbye.

It wasn't until after Zhong Yun left that Jia Xu looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Lord, in fact, even if the city is broken in the end, Yuan Shao will not take Mr. Ziyuan like that." ”

"I know." Chen Mo nodded: "But even if I live, the teacher will live in self-blame for this life, I started from the end of the world, I know the suffering of the people, and I need to live in the court now, the people are just a number for you and me, but you don't understand, born in the end of the life, the pain of struggling for a living, the teacher also told me back then, no matter the rise and fall of this world, the most bitter is the people, and he has been doing things for the people, this matter, against his heart." ”

Jia Xu nodded, and didn't answer again, maybe he was indifferent by nature, as long as it didn't matter about his life and death, he generally wouldn't care, and Chen Mo, as a monarch, was good in other aspects, and it was enough to kill decisively, but on the issue of the people, Chen Mo always had a kind of compassion that most heroes did not have, you must know that the master in front of him can kill you with a smile, people are still too complicated~
