The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Without the navy in Jingzhou, I'm afraid Liu Bei won't be able to get it from the four counties in Jingnan!" Chen Mo's camp in Guandu looked at the map carefully. Chen Mo frowned and said: "Gongda, Yuanzhi, if you two are Liu Bei and Sun Ce respectively, , what if you want to continue to develop?”

The news of Jingzhou's change of ownership was first reported back to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to Guandu. By the time it reached Chen Mo, a month had passed. Chen Mo was fighting a decisive battle with Cao's army. Even if he knew about it in time, he would not have the energy to intervene in Jingzhou. However, this result is not too bad for Chen Mo. Although Sun Ce gained a lot of territory, the most important Nanjun did not fall into Sun Ce's hands. Otherwise, Sun Ce might really become a climate changer. With Liu Bei as a thorn in his side, Although being nailed here is also a threat to Nanyang, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the current situation.

It was impossible for Sun Ce to attack Nanyang under Liu Bei's nose, and Liu Bei couldn't go north without any scruples with Sun Ce at his side. The two families could contain each other.

Xun You looked at the map and said: "If it were Sun Ce, it would be difficult to capture Nanjun in a hurry. But now Sun Ce's biggest advantage is on the river, and the Jingzhou navy has been completely wiped out. It will be difficult to compete with Sun Ce on the river in a short time. So As soon as they come, we can organize a naval force to go upstream to capture Bashu. If Sun Ce succeeds, there are dangers in Bashu and the natural chasm of the Yangtze River. Our army will seize the Central Plains and then capture Nanjun. If we want to restore the unification of the world, I’m afraid it won’t be available for a while.”

Chen Mo nodded. If he were Sun Ce, he would do the same thing.

"What a coincidence." Xu Shu said with a smile: "If I were Liu Bei, I would also choose Bashu. If Liu Bei can occupy Bashu, then the world will be divided into three parts, and we can unite with Sun Ce to fight against the lord."

When Chen Mo heard this, he frowned and looked at the map and said: "This will cut off the road from Jiangdong to the Central Plains. Although it is possible to advance into the Jianghuai River, this is the limit. Going further north, Sun Lang will not be able to continue. With Sun Ce's section Judging from the time arrangement, it is consistent with what Gongda said, and I must have seen the key. "

In water battles, the northern generals are not good at it. They are better than Lu Bu. Back then, on the banks of the Han River, they suffered defeats against the Jingzhou navy, which was not as good as the Jiangdong navy. But if they go ashore to fight, the situation will be reversed. Lu Bu is the best. For example, as long as they were not in the water, whether it was the Jiangdong Army or the Jingzhou Army, Lu Bu could easily bully them at that time.

"The prerequisite for the two families to join forces is Jingzhou. Unless Liu Bei is willing to give up Nanjun, the alliance between the two families is just a joke." Xun You also nodded in agreement.

Even if Liu Bei wins Bashu, can he give up Nanjun?

I'm afraid it's difficult, and Chen Mo won't allow such a thing to happen.

Fumbling with the map, Chen Mo tapped it and said with a smile: "Let's wait and see what happens. Our top priority is Cao Cao. Unless Cao Cao is eliminated, he is a greater threat than Sun Ce and Liu Bei combined. As for the situation in Jingxiang, we will be careful for now." Surveillance, the information sent from Jingzhou is sent directly here, there must be no mistakes! "

"Here!" Xun You and Xu Shu bowed and agreed. Although the victory has been sealed, Cao Cao has not been defeated for a day, and Chen Mo can't really take care of him. The Central Plains is Chen Mo's core now. After getting the Central Plains, the world Three points, Chen Mo only takes the second. Even if Sun Ce really succeeds, he can only be on the safe side and unable to truly compete with Chen Mo. Moreover, judging from Liu Bei's performance, it is obvious that he will not see Sun Ce's plan succeed.

Chen Mo turned his attention back to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was also troubled by the current situation.

"Lord, now that our army's food route is constantly being harassed by Chen Mo's cavalry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain a stalemate with Chen Mo. Chen Mo's move to move the camp obviously wants to take the opportunity to destroy the main force of our army." Cheng Yu frowned and thought: "At this time , try to withdraw the troops!”

The lack of cavalry made Cao Cao very passive. Cao Chun's life or death was uncertain, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were more dangerous than the others. The plain plain to the east of Zhongmu was a good place for the cavalry to gallop. Chen Mo didn't know which way Cao Cao's food road was, but it didn't matter. Seven cavalry groups wandering around at will can cut off Cao Cao's food routes.

Where did so many cavalry come from?

Cao Cao is also having a headache at the moment. Although Chen Mo used cavalry in the past, according to Cao Cao's understanding, Chen Mo only has three cavalry groups, led by generals Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu. Although the encirclement and suppression of Ma Chao was not successful last time, he will also Ma Chao's cavalry was severely damaged, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were enough to prevent the opponent's cavalry from moving.

But now there are so many cavalry suddenly coming out. No matter how powerful Cao Cao is, he has no cavalry in his hands. There is nothing he can do with these cavalry. There are tens of thousands of cavalry, but without a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to encircle and suppress them on this plain. Even if Cao Cao's main force is now Even if they try their best, they can only be beaten back, but it is impossible to destroy them.

Chen Mo obviously had no intention of giving Cao Cao this opportunity, and moved the camp directly next door to Cao Cao, probably just to prevent Cao Cao from making any big moves.

As for sending a small number of troops and horses, there is no meaning, but they will be wiped out by those cavalry.

Cheng Yu wanted to withdraw his troops, but he couldn't. Once he withdrew, Cao Cao was sure that Chen Mo would directly attack the army under Suiyang City. In this way, it would be a matter of life and death.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

"There is a clumsy plan that can temporarily solve the urgent problem." Guo Jia thought.

"What's the plan?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Deploy another 20,000 soldiers and horses from the rear specifically to escort the grain and grass." Guo Jia sighed.

This is indeed a clumsy plan. With 20,000 soldiers and horses escorting grain and grass, the cavalry sent by Chen Mo dare not provoke them, but the consumption of transporting grain alone can make Cao Cao feel painful. If this continues, if he competes with Chen Mo in consumption, Cao Cao will definitely be the first one to be unable to bear it, which is equivalent to delaying the time of defeat. Once defeated, Cao Cao will not be able to compete with Chen Mo in the future.

Moreover, the transfer of 20,000 soldiers and horses will inevitably affect Cao Cao's defense in other aspects. If Jiangdong takes advantage of the situation to seize the two Huai areas at this time, Cao Cao will have no way to deal with it.

"But..." Cheng Yu naturally saw the inappropriateness of this plan.

"We need time to let Chen Mo reveal his flaws." Guo Jia looked up and looked at Cheng Yu.

"Flaw?" Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia in confusion. Chen Mo has a flaw?

"Luoyang." Guo Jia said lightly.

Luoyang?

Cheng Yu frowned: "Can Fengxiao be sure?"

Guo Jia nodded and looked at Cao Cao. Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded and said: "The Luoyang court once secretly sent people to Suiyang, intending to contact us. Chen Mo has been gaining momentum in recent years. Some people in the Luoyang court think that Bodao is not suitable to hold power anymore."

At the end, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh. Although they are now enemies, Cao Cao is disgusted with these people from the bottom of his heart. When Liu Xie was alive, there were always some people in the court who didn't think about serving the country, but always thought about how to drag their feet and how to take power back from Cao Cao. Now, it's Chen Mo who faces such a situation.

These people are also funny. They don't think about it. Even if they really succeed, Chen Mo is overthrown by them. Who among them can replace Chen Mo? Who can calm down those tiger and wolf generals under Chen Mo? They are basically making wedding clothes for the princes. If Chen Mo loses, will Cao Cao really take only a dozen cities as they wish?

At least Luoyang and Jizhou, Cao Cao would definitely grab them without hesitation. As for Guanzhong, without Chen Mo, Cao Cao believed that as long as he gave himself a few years, he could take over all of Chen Mo's territory. Therefore, these people's actions were clearly making wedding clothes for others.

However, disgusting as it was, Cao Cao directly agreed to these people's secret contacts. He had also faced such things. If it weren't for the internal struggle in Suiyang, Liu Xie's death would still be an unsolved case. How could there be a situation of four emperors and two kings later?

It was because of Liu Xie's death that the remaining prestige of the Han Dynasty was gone. Although it has become three emperors and two kings now, the significance of the existence of this emperor is only a symbol.

Liu Neng didn't understand himself. At this time, he still wanted to seize power from Chen Mo and destroy the Great Wall. It was really stupid, but this was a good thing for Cao Cao. He had no reason to refuse.

"Now, the lord and Chen Mo are fighting fiercely here. Even if there is a change in Luoyang at this time, Chen Mo cannot get away in time and go to Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation. In this way, if there is a coup in Luoyang and Chenggao is blocked, Chen Mo will only have this hundred miles of land. No matter how strong he is, it will be difficult to resist our army!" Guo Jia laughed.

Are those people in Luoyang stupid? In fact, they are not stupid. In terms of intrigue and conspiracy to harm people, Chen Mo and Cao Cao may not be able to beat them. Moreover, now that the two major princes have made their full efforts and their elite troops have been deployed, the rear is naturally empty. At this time, for these people who are good at conspiracy and intrigue, it is the best time. If they miss it, there will be no chance. Cao Cao has secretly sent the news here through Yuzhou, and Cao Ren has also secretly sent people to the Yique Pass area to prepare for the response and help them. If they succeed, not only can Chen Mo's danger be resolved, but they can also take the opportunity to take Yique Pass and prepare for their future advancement to Heluo.

If Chen Mo was defeated, it would be possible to directly advance to Guanzhong. Even if Chen Mo turned the situation around in time, he could push the battlefield to Yique Pass. Chen Mo would be seriously injured and could only retreat to Guanzhong.

The best outcome is that Chen Mo was defeated, and no one in the world could resist Cao Cao, but this possibility is not high, so Guo Jia and Cao Cao's plan was based on the premise of severely damaging Chen Mo's main force.

But the premise is that those people in Luoyang can be more supportive, at least cause some damage to Chen Mo, so that Chen Mo will be confused, and they can perform.

Cao Cao sighed. In fact, he still lost the competition with Chen Mo. Now he has to pin his hopes on the premise that Chen Mo's rear is unstable to start planning. This makes Cao Cao feel uncomfortable. What he wants more is to crush Chen Mo, his old friend, on the battlefield and subdue Chen Mo with his ability. This is what Cao Cao wants most, which will make him feel very accomplished.
