The Nameless of the Common Clans

Xu Huang started to charge with his men. Chen Mo, who was sitting on the carriage of the central army, stood up slowly. He was a little surprised when he saw the enemy army rushing towards him on the battlefield. After all, he had already secured victory at this time. At this time, the enemy army still had the morale to counterattack, which surprised Chen Mo.

But in the crowd, a general holding a battle axe came and went like the wind. There was no enemy in front of the horse. Moreover, he was not really charging recklessly. He pointed east and hit west. Although there were fewer and fewer people following him, he was indeed rushing towards Chen Mo very quickly.

To capture the thief first, this has always been Chen Mo's favorite move to defeat the enemy. Now that someone used this move to deal with him, he felt quite subtle.

"The general with the axe is Xu Huang?" Chen Mo stood on the carriage, looking at Xu Huang who was rushing left and right with his men, and asked the generals on the left and right with a smile.

"My lord, it is Xu Huang." The two generals nodded, and were also a little amazed at Xu Huang's ability.

"Prepare the bows and arrows!" A general raised his hand, indicating that the bows and arrows were ready. At this moment, Xu Huang was already at the end of his strength. A wave of arrows would kill all these people.

"Wait!" Chen Mo waved his hand, stood on the shaft and smiled: "I want this man alive!"

Such a brave and resourceful general is rare. Chen Mo didn't want him to die here. He looked at Dian Wei and said: "Is it possible to capture him alive?"

"My lord, don't worry, I will be back soon!" Dian Wei didn't say much. He picked up a pair of iron halberds, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and said: "Get out of the way!"

Although Xu Huang was brave, the soldiers around him were not as powerful as him, and they were not determined to die for Yang Ping. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, many people chose to kneel down and surrender.

There were only more than ten people left with Xu Huang, and it was obviously not enough to rush to Chen Mo.

The soldiers around were a little scared by Xu Huang's killing, and Chen Mo didn't allow them to shoot arrows. When Dian Wei rode over, the soldiers around him consciously retreated.

Dian Wei twisted his neck and grinned at Xu Huang, saying, "You are so good, come and fight me."

Xu Huang sat on the horse and looked back at the direction of his own military camp, but saw that the direction of the military camp was already on fire. It was obvious that Chen Mo's arrangements were not just on the battlefield. He smiled bitterly, threw the axe in his hand to the ground, and jumped off the horse.

Dian Wei glared and said, "What do you mean?"

Xu Huang sighed, "I have been loyal to General Yang, but I don't want to die."

"You are like this..." Dian Wei's momentum has reached the highest point. Looking at Xu Huang, hesitantly, he said, "How about we fight for a few rounds before you surrender?"

Xu Huang looked at Dian Wei in confusion. It seems that he didn't say he wanted to surrender, right?

He shook his head: "I'm exhausted!"

Dian Wei sighed, hung the iron halberd on the horse's back, and said in a dull tone: "Tie him up and take him to see the lord."

"Yes!" The soldiers stepped forward, tied Xu Huang up, and led by Dian Wei, brought Xu Huang to Chen Mo's carriage.

Chen Mo had already begun to command his men to clean up the battlefield. When he saw Xu Huang tied up, he smiled and jumped off the carriage to help Xu Huang untie the ropes, saying, "General Gongming, this is the first time we meet."

"You are a defeated general." Xu Huang shook his arm and looked at Chen Mo who was so close. For a moment, he wanted to take action, but he held back and looked at Chen Mo and said, "You are so close to me, aren't you afraid that I will take action?"

Chen Mo waved his hand, signaling Dian Wei not to move, and smiled, "Yang Ping treated the general like that, and the general was willing to cover his retreat. I believe that General Gongming will not take action at least at this time."

In order to avoid not seeing the real changes in luck, Chen Mo usually does not bring the imperial seal with him when he marches outside.

Xu Huang was silent after hearing this, and Chen Mo said no more. He arranged Cui Geng and Cheng Fang to stay to clean up the battlefield and took Xu Huang back to the camp.

"My lord, I am incompetent and let Yang Ping run away with the remaining troops!" When returning to the camp, Bao Geng also rushed back with the cavalry and bowed to Chen Mo.

"He ran away. This man has average ability, but his ambition is high. Killing him or not has nothing to do with the overall situation." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You go to investigate Yang Feng's movements, and let Cui Geng and Cheng Fang come to see me!"

"Yes!" Bao Geng agreed and bowed to leave.

Chen Mo looked at Xu Huang and smiled: "General Xu gave up resistance, but did not say surrender, what does this mean?"

Xu Huang looked at Chen Mo with some complexity.

"Fighting to the death to cover the rear is the fulfillment of the loyalty between the king and the minister Yang Feng!" Chen Mo stood up and thought, "It is understandable that he does not want to die. Most people do not want to die. Moreover, General Xu is brave and resourceful, and his talents have not been fully utilized. The most important thing is that he has entrusted his trust to the wrong person. Although I have never met Yang Feng, I can probably understand his character from this battle. It is normal for the general to be unwilling to die for him, but he is unwilling to surrender to me. There are only two reasons. Either he looks down on me and thinks that Chen Mo is not worthy of General Xu's loyalty, or he is dissatisfied."

Looking at Xu Huang's expression, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Although Mo is not talented, I think I can be considered a wise leader compared to Yang Feng, right?"

"My lord, how can you call yourself a wise leader?" Dian Wei grinned, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered, the wise leader is called by others, how can you shamelessly say that you are a wise leader?

Chen Mo, Xu Huang: "..."

"Ahem~" Chen Mo chose to ignore it, coughed lightly, looked at Xu Huang and said: "General, you are good at commanding troops and making strategies, but you have been defeated repeatedly by me with a mob. Today's victory was also defeated by Yang Ping, so the general is dissatisfied, right?"

"The general admires the talent of the emperor, but this battle..." Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say the rest of the words. This battle was too useless. The previous two battles were just tests, and the result was Chen Mo took the opportunity to target Yang Ping, and used Yang Ping's hand to suppress him, leading to today's defeat. This made Xu Huang feel a little bit overwhelmed by the opponent.

"The general thinks that my victory was unjust, but I feel that the general's defeat was not unfair." Chen Mo looked at Xu Huang and said with a smile: "If you look at it from the battlefield alone, it is true that I have never really fought against the general. Field, but has the general ever thought about what the war is about?”

"I would like to hear the details!" Xu Huang said solemnly.

"Looking at the overall situation, this war is just a continuation of interests. I want Taiyuan County and even the state to be merged. Therefore, after the defeat of Yang County, I only drove you away but did not eliminate you. Of course, this is because I do not want to sacrifice too many soldiers. Therefore, but it is also because your coming to Bingzhou is of greater benefit to me, so the entire Baibo bandit, whether it is Yang Feng, Hu Cai, Li Le, or Han Xian, in this overall situation, it is me who annexed Taiyuan and even the entire Bingzhou. Chess pieces, starting from the conquest of Baibo Valley, your every move is under my control," Chen Mo said with a smile.

Xu Huang said nothing, which seemed to have nothing to do with his defeat.

"Of course, this doesn't seem to have much to do with the general's defeat this time, but if we focus on the battlefield, where you and I are facing each other, this war is not just about you and me leading our troops to fight, but also about logistics, food and grass, the general's ability, morale, and soldiers and horses. Combat strength is something that can affect the outcome of a war." Chen Mo looked at Xu Huang with a smile and said, "General, do you agree?"

Xu Huang nodded. He was an expert in leading troops. Naturally, he knew that sometimes these things outside the battlefield could even determine the outcome of the battlefield. The most ruthless thing was the desperate strategy.

"The general must have noticed that the troops I brought this time are mostly surrendered troops recruited from Li Le and Hu Cai. Not only is my morale low, but there is also a lot of confusion among the subordinates, which is ugly to say. "It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a mob." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Although the general's troops are not as large as mine, they are all the elites under Yang Feng's command. They can even form battle formations such as the Hunyuan Qi Formation. They obviously train a lot on weekdays. The cooperation is quite tacit, so from the beginning, the general actually has the advantage, right? "

Xu Huang nodded again. In fact, he had already had doubts after the first trial, and the second battle solidified his idea. Unfortunately, Chen Mo did not give him a chance to fight in the third battle.

"There is a saying in the art of war: if you can, show your inability, and if you are unable, show your ability. Since I am definitely no match for the general in a tough battle, why should I confront the general head-on? The purpose of fighting is to win, so naturally I have to find the weakness of the general. Take action." Chen Mo looked at Xu Huang and said with a smile: "Mo has seen the general's military formation. If we fight head-on, let alone these miscellaneous soldiers, even with my elite troops this time, we may not be able to win in a head-on battle. Although the general is powerful, he is surrounded by intrigues. There is nothing wrong with me starting from here, and the general’s defeat is not unjust. But if the general insists on being obsessed with me, I have never fought the general head-on and therefore feel dissatisfied and think that I am the winner. Without force, I have nothing to say.”

"The general has no such intention!" Xu Huang shook his head.

"General Gongming, you have the qualifications to be a famous general, but you mistakenly joined Yang Feng. Although Chen is young, General, look at my command. It was originally a ragtag group, but today's battle, I am afraid it is not inferior to the number of soldiers and horses under your command. This battle The defeat was not due to the general, but to Yang Feng and Yang Ping. The general was loyal and willing to cut off the throne for Yang Ping. Mo admired this very much, but had the general ever thought about what would have happened if the general had not defeated Yang this time? What will happen if you are under my command?”

Under Chen Mo?

Xu Huang thought for a while, and indeed, if he were under Chen Mo, he probably wouldn't be as aggrieved as he is now. This can be seen by looking at the generals under Chen Mo.

"General Gongming, the world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is in decline. Although Mo is young, he still has the ambition to stabilize the country. However, there are few generals with talents like him. Mo does not want to harm the general's life. If the general still feels that this battle is won by Mo, it is not possible to use force. If you don't want to agree, then Mo won't force the general." Chen Mo said with regret.

"The envoy is indeed a wise master, and the general is willing to be loyal to the envoy, but..." Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, bowed to Chen Mo and said: "Yang Feng and the general have a grudge after all, and they really don't want to meet on the battlefield!"

Chen Mo smiled, stretched out his hand to help Xu Huang up and said: "I will fulfill the general's loyalty. As long as the general is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, I will not only prevent the general from participating in this battle, but I will also be willing to spare Yang Feng's life!"

"General Xu Huang, I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord!" Xu Huang took a deep breath and bowed to Chen Mo. He had no intention of fighting to the death for Yang Feng, otherwise he would not have thrown down his weapons and surrendered. Yang Feng's kindness He returned the favor. At most, he would not help Chen Mo beat Yang Feng. As for not surrendering directly, he was holding a breath in his heart. Now that this breath was changed by Chen Mo, there was naturally nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!" Chen Mo smiled and bowed to Xu Huang, then helped him up and said: "Having the help of General Gongming is really more powerful than a tiger. General, please go down and rest until I defeat the enemy. Then we’ll make arrangements.”

"Here!"
