Chapter 140: Insidious tricks
"You mean, Chen Mo had already led his troops to withdraw from Yique Pass last night?" The war was over, and the fire in the military camp had not yet been extinguished, but Hu Zhen's troops had almost wiped out, and the remaining ones were asked to surrender one after another. It was difficult to form combat power. After Yuan Shu learned that he had captured the enemy general, he hurriedly ordered people to bring him, but found that it was not Chen Mo. After learning that Chen Mo had withdrawn Yique Pass last night, Yuan Shu was a little disappointed: "Then why did you stay?"
"Chen Mo is greedy for life and fears death, and is afraid of the general's power. Since the last general has received the military order, how can he escape in the battle? He should stick to the camp!" Hu Zhen quickly thrust his chest and said loudly.
"Then are you ready to be buried with Dong Zhuo?" Yuan Shu glanced at Chen Mo disdainfully. Although he was unhappy with Chen Mo, it was definitely a wise move for Chen Mo to retreat. Otherwise, how could such a camp block him? If this guy was really the person he mentioned, he would not appear in front of him. Shouldn't he die in battle?
The person Yuan Shu disliked the most was this kind of person. He waved his hand and said, "Drag this thief and behead him!"
"Slow!" Yang Hong suddenly said to stop him.
"What else should I ask?" Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong in confusion.
Yang Hong looked at Hu Zhen with a smile and said, "Is the general incompatible with that Chen Mo?"
Hu Zhen was already shocked by Yuan Shu's killing. He didn't know what these people were thinking when he heard this, and his face was pale and he was speechless.
"Don't worry, my Lord is not going to kill the general, but just annoyed Chen Mo'er. What he said just now is just annoying." Yang Hong said with a smile.
Hu Zhen heard this and said skeptical: "The General of the Mo has indeed had a rift with Chen Mo. Since he went to war, he has been crowded with the General of the Last. This time, the General of the Last is staying here, and it is also Chen Mo who harmed me. The General of the Last is long admired and hated Mr. Yuan, and only hated..."
"The general misunderstood." Yang Hong quickly interrupted Hu Zhen's words and smiled: "My master's intention is to let the general go back."
"Reply..." Hu Zhen was a little stunned when he heard this. What's the point?
Yang Hong winked at Yuan Shu and said warmly: "Don't doubt it. We also believe the general's words. But if the general surrenders, where will the general's family be placed?"
Hu Zhen said nothing. If he could go back, he naturally wanted to go back. But now that he had lost so many troops, even if Yuan Shu was willing to let him go back, Dong Zhuo's military law would probably be a waste. Moreover, with Chen Mo's temperament, he might not have let him go back.
"I have a plan that not only can I protect the general from worry, but also can help the general to avenge Chen Mo's plot." Yang Hong said with a smile.
Hu Zhen looked up at Yang Hong, not understanding his intention.
"After the general leaves the camp, there is no need to go to Yique Pass to find Chen Mo. You can take a detour to Xingyang and go back to Luoyang to face Mr. Dong directly. As for what to say when he sees Mr. Dong, I believe there is no need to teach the general how to do it, right?" Yang Hong looked at Hu Zhen with a smile.
Damn, none of these good things about reading!
Hu Zhen cursed in his heart when he heard this, but he was also a little moved. Now that he returned to Yique Pass, he would have to peel off even if he didn't die. He had to squeeze Chen Mo several times before, and with Chen Mo's smallness, he would definitely hold a grudge. Maybe he stayed this time and was plotted by Chen Mo. It was just how he planned it. He had to think about how to tell Dong Zhuo. But if he followed Yang Hong's plan, it was possible. Then Chen Mo clearly wanted to monopolize the military power of Yique Pass! Yes, that's it.
"If I can help Mr. Yuan, I will do my best." Hu Zhen naturally could not follow the other party's words, that was seeking death.
"If you agree, how about signing this confession?" Yang Hong nodded, came to his desk and quickly wrote a confession and handed it to Hu Zhen.
"This..." Hu Zhen looked at the bamboo slip in his hand. It was clearly a confession of his confession of confession and his face turned pale.
"Didn't the General Fang say he is willing to help Mr. Yuan?" Yang Hong looked at Hu Zhen and smiled, "We always need to have some handle. If the general suddenly regrets it in the future, we will have a response. Could it be that the General Fang is lying to me?"
"I dare not." Hu Zhen shook his head quickly, hesitated for a moment, and still gritted his teeth and picked it up. No matter how bad it is, it is better than just dead now.
"General Hu can leave." Yang Hong took the confession signed by Hu Zhen and said with a smile.
"I will take my leave!" Hu Zhen glanced at Yuan Shu. Seeing that Yuan Shu had no objection, someone stepped forward to untie the rope on him, stood up doubtfully. Seeing that no one was blocking him, he walked out of the camp carefully.
"The military advisor wants to transfer Chen Mo away with this move?" Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong and frowned, "What's the point?"
"If it is expected, Chen Mo withdrew his troops overnight. Although he knew that he would lose to our army, the bigger reason was that our soldiers at Yique Pass had been taken down. Those soldiers were on the top of the cliff and had no food and grass supply. It was not easy for them to support them until now. At this time, he held heavy troops in his hand and retreated to Yique Pass. It was quite difficult for our army to break through Yique Pass. Chen Mo was cautious in using troops, but he was full of deceit and was difficult to deal with. If he could transfer it away, only Hua Xiong was left to guard Yique Pass, and Hua Xiong was only a brave man, and it was easy to destroy it." Yang Hong said with a smile.
Whether Chen Mo's grasp of fighter jets and the utilization of environmental traps yesterday, or his decisiveness when he retreated, it means that this opponent is not easy to deal with. If the opponent was guarding the camp before, Yang Hong was confident that he would defeat him, but now he relied on the pass and had sufficient troops, so it would be difficult to defeat him again.
Let’s see what the gap is when Hu Zhen’s hand is beaten. Now the most important thing is to attack Luoyang. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Whoever can attack Luoyang first will have the lead and take the name of righteousness. At this time, Chen Mo, a difficult opponent, should he be transferred away if possible.
"Of course, if Chen Mo can be forced to go to the fore, the lord must remember not to kill him. If this person can be used by the lord, he will definitely be the strongest arm under the lord in the future." Yang Hong instructed.
Yuan Shu nodded. Although he was a little angry with Chen Mo, Yuan Shu was still a little moved by the skills shown in Chen Mo's battles.
"Since that's the case, I will follow the words of the military advisor." Yuan Shu nodded and said, "I ordered all troops to march into Yique Pass and set up a village in Yique Pass today!"
No matter what, since the troops have been sent, it is natural that it cannot stop. It would be best if Chen Mo could surrender. If he could surrender, Yuan Shu would have to defeat him, otherwise where would he put his face?
...
After Yique Pass, Chen Mo immediately wrote a memorial to the court, helping Hua Xiong and Yang Ding ask for merit. If you have any merits, you will be rewarded and punished. This is not a favor. However, this is also why Hua Xiong and Yang Ding, who were originally with Hu Zhen’s estimates, now admire Chen Mo very much. You can only fight, but you can’t win a battle. Who will do it if you follow you?
But being able to win battles and not being greedy for merit, and having clear rewards and punishments can bring benefits to everyone, and being clear about public and private affairs, which makes everyone convinced. Chen Mo has been in charge of the army for a while, so he is naturally clear about these things.
"The general doesn't have to be so anxious!" Hua Xiong and Yang Ding smiled when they saw this. Who is Chen Mo? He has known about the contact between him during this period.
"I know that the two are not in a hurry, but the contributions of the soldiers participating in the war cannot be greedy. If they were not born and fought to the death, just by the three of us, even if they were all over the king, it would be difficult to win the battle. Isn't that what we are doing for fighting the battlefield?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
"General Gao Yi!" Hua Xiong and Yang Ding admired. In this smoky officialdom, there are not many generals like Chen Mo who are not greedy for merit and who can lead everyone to win battles. It is because of the few that are valuable.
"By the way, this is the drawing of two cliffs I designed. Because it is difficult to transport materials, it is not complicated, but it can ensure that the soldiers are not affected by the cold." Chen Mo handed a drawn drawing to Yang Ding and said with a smile.
Hua Xiong was curious, so he came over to take a look, and suddenly pointed at the top of the cliff and said, "The general knows that the last basket is set up, but what is this thing?"
Chen Mo looked at it, but there were two wheels hanging in the air and smiled and said, "This is the mechanism recorded in the book of the Mo family. It is not complicated, but it can save people a lot of effort. It is more convenient to transport materials to the top of the cliff. It is set up as soon as possible. I have calculated that if the enemy attacks the city, make a simple stone generator on the top of the cliff and launches stones in this direction. The stone will not fall on the city gate, but will fall under the city, and it can also cause a certain blow to the enemy. There is no need for stones. Just some gravel, so that the soldiers on the top of the cliff can search on the mountain, and save some bows and arrows."
"I heard for a long time that the general has the talent of conquering the world. Hua Xiong still had doubts in the past, but today I realized that the rumors are not false." Hua Xiong smiled and handed the bamboo slips to Yang Ding, asking him to do it quickly, while saying to Chen Mo: "The general understands this Mo family's learning?"
"I understand a little bit, mainly because when I was studying mathematics and physics in the past, I found that the Mohist scholars had a deep study on these things, so I specially found some Mohist fragments." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "But in the end, I was called the Confucian scholar in the world. What I know now is probably just the superficial one."
"That's quite good." Hua Xiong felt a little dizzy when he heard Chen Mo say this, and quickly changed the subject and said, "General, there is still something unknown to the last general. We stayed and really can't compete with Yuan Shu?"
"Not that, it's just that there is no need." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu has many soldiers and generals, and the Yang people gather in the area is not a critical matter. Yesterday, we won with a strange move, but this kind of edict cannot be reborn. If you use it today, it will be difficult to have any effect. Moreover, if you fight with Yuan Shu here, the damage will be severe. Since there is Yiquejian City and there is no crisis, why should you fight against Yuan Shu with the lives of the soldiers?"
"General is kind, but Hu Zhen..." Hua Xiong was a little worried about Hu Zhen's safety.
"Report~" Before Hua Xiong finished speaking, he suddenly saw Bai Piao coming in quickly and said to Chen Mo: "Lord, early this morning, the enemy army attacked General Hu's camp with fire. Now there are many defeated troops outside the city, and they are praying for the switch to release the switch outside the city."
"Can there be enemies nearby?" Chen Mo asked.
"Not found." Bai Piao shook his head.
"Let someone come in, but keep a close watch. If there is any abnormal movement, shoot and close the city gate immediately!" Chen Mo said in a deep voice.
"Have General Hu seen it?" Hua Xiong asked quickly.
"Not forever." Bai Piao shook his head, then bowed to Chen Mo, turned around and left.
Hua Xiong: "..."
