"Why did the messenger get into a fight?" Hua Xiong's army had already left the city. After seeing that Dian Wei was fine, he protected Dian Wei and slowly retreated into the city. After closing the city gate, Hua Xiong couldn't help complaining.

"That boy Sun Ce suddenly came out and I didn't cause any trouble." Dian Wei shook his arms and said with a smile, "But it was really fun to fight!"

"Let's go see the general!" Hua Xiong was speechless. Based on his understanding of Dian Wei, this guy must have said something exciting again.

Seeing Chen Mo, Dian Wei told the story. Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Yes, since it was Yuan Shu who told him to stop, Sun Ce would have some suspicions in his heart, but it is enough that this happened once, otherwise Yuan Shu would also become suspicious.

Let's use someone else to deliver the letter next time."

"Lord, I think I'm okay." Dian Wei scratched his head and looked at Chen Mo and said.

"I'm afraid Sun Ce can't do it." Chen Mo gave him a funny look and said, "Okay, there will be many battles in the future, so go and rest. There should be some peace and quiet in these few days, so that the soldiers can have a good rest and recharge their spirits.

"

"Here!" the two agreed, turned around and left.

In the next two days, just as Chen Mo said, Yuan Shu would send letters to Chen Mo every day, and his words were somewhat intended to win over each other. Chen Mo also intended to divide the various departments under Yuan Shu's command, and his replies were also quite positive.

In Yuan Shu's camp, in the commander's tent of the Chinese army, Sun Ce saluted Yuan Shu and said: "Mr. Yuan, my father's body needs to be returned to his hometown. I hope that Gong Yuan will allow me to escort my father's coffin back to his hometown."

"I'm really sad about what happened in Wentai. It's right to return home to fulfill your filial piety." Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce and nodded. When Sun Ce goes back this time, in addition to burying Sun Jian, he also has to observe filial piety. He won't be back in a short time.

, but it’s okay, now that Yuan Shu intends to win over Chen Mo, Sun Ce is a little worried here, and he readily agrees: “I will give you two hundred elite soldiers to escort Wentai’s body back to his hometown, and also bring back some money and silk.

"

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yuan!" Sun Ce bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "I will retire at the end of the day!"

Yuan Shu nodded and ordered people to pick up some soldiers and horses for Sun Ce.

"It's a good thing that the young master is leaving now." Han Dang and Cheng Pu sent Sun Ce out of the camp and sighed to Sun Ce. Yuan Shu obviously didn't want to fight anymore, and Sun Ce felt aggrieved to stay here. Besides, Sun Jian's corpse already stinked.

, even if it is sealed in a coffin, it might as well be sent back for burial.

"Thank you two uncles for taking care of me during these days!" Sun Ce saluted the two of them.

"Young master, don't talk like that. We have followed General Wentai for many years and have always admired General Wentai. We only regret that we were incompetent and failed to save General Wentai's life!" Han Dang sighed. Not only Sun Jian died in the battle this time

, even their former friends Huang Gai and Zu Mao are dead. When it comes to hatred, they also hate Chen Mo, but compared to Sun Ce, they know when to endure it. At least at this time, they are not the ones who have the final say in the army.

There is nothing you can do if you want to take revenge. The best way now is to lie dormant, endure, and accumulate strength.

Now it seems that Sun Ce also understands this truth, which is the only thing that makes them happy.

As for what the future will bring, whether this child can take revenge, the two of them are not sure. After all, Chen Mo is obviously similar to the young master, but his abilities and methods are like a monster.

Sun Ce had a good relationship with the generals under Yuan Shu's command in the military camp. After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, he took his father's coffin and the two hundred elite soldiers sent to him by Yuan Shu and set out on his way home.

…

There has been no fighting in Yique Pass for three days. Chen Mo has been checking and correcting deficiencies in the defense of Yique Pass these two days. The army has also been reorganized. If they fight for ten days in a row, there will be a lot of losses here.

I had just replied to a letter to Yuan Shu that day and was about to inspect the city defense, but I saw Hua Xiong and Yang Ding walking in quickly, smiling at Chen Mo and saying: "General, our reinforcements are here!"

"Oh?" Chen Mo nodded and smiled: "It's two days later than I thought. You can ask them to rush outside the city to support the four passes. Now there are enough troops in the city and we don't need so many people."

The documents from the imperial court have already been sent to Chen Mo. Two thousand people will be sent there. At the same time, there is also a notice about removing Hu Zhen from his official position. This is to appease Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't expect that Hu Zhen could come back alive, which surprised him.

"General, this reinforcement general wants to enter the pass and does not want to be stationed outside." Yang Ding pushed Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong said helplessly.

"Ah?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows in surprise and said with a smile: "To put you two in such a difficult situation, it seems that this reinforcement general has quite a background."

How can a general general and colonel dare to make such a request when he has just arrived in this place?

"This person's name is Li Xian." Hua Xiong smiled and said, "Have you heard of it, general?"

"Li Jue's nephew." Chen Mo thought for a while and said with a smile, "No wonder you two are in such a difficult situation."

Although Hua Xiong is known as the most powerful general in Xiliang, in terms of status, Hua Xiong is not very high under Dong Zhuo. He had served as a deputy general to Hu Zhen before, but Li Jue is a general under Dong Zhuo who can lead an army on his own.

When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he didn't have many troops around him. The ones leading the troops in the rear were Li Jue and Guo Si, who were Dong Zhuo's true confidants.

As Li Xian's nephew, Li Xian was also favored by Li Jue, and all the generals in the army had to give him some face.

Thinking about the ups and downs of my luck these days, could this happen to Li Siam?

"Forget it, I will send two other generals to command the reinforcements. Each of the three armies will hold one side. When the beacon smoke rises, they will immediately provide support." Chen Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Let Li Xian come to Yique Pass."

If Li Xian really came to seize power, that would be the best. Now that he has earned the reputation he deserves, and his abilities have been demonstrated, Yuan Shu does not want to offend him to death, so he just pushed Li Xian out to vent his anger and give Yuan Shu a gift.

Personal relationship, I really want to see you in the future.

"Thank you, General!" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They heard that when Chen Mo was an official, he would sometimes ignore his relatives and only respect the law. Now he was willing to cut corners, which was obviously for their sake.

"Recruit Yu Sheng, Bai Piao, and Han Kai. I have something to entrust them with." Chen Mo waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Here!" The two of them were naturally happy to receive Chen Mo's promise. They bowed to Chen Mo and left.

After a while, Yu Sheng and three others came in and saluted Chen Mo: "My lord."

"I have something to entrust you three. If there is a war in the past few days, try to avoid casualties." Chen Mo looked at the three of them and smiled: "We may have to leave."

"Lord, this battle was fought well, why did you leave?" Yu Sheng asked puzzled.

"I don't want to offend Yuan Shu to death. Our roots are in Hedong, and we are not prepared to die for Dong Zhuo. That's enough. The achievements I have made are worthy of Dong Zhuo." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Bai Piao suddenly realized, looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "My lord is wise!"

"The specific situation is not yet certain for the time being. Let's talk to the three of you first. I will let you know when it's time to leave. It's better to be simple." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"General, take your orders!" the three of them agreed and left.

Soon, a young general came in under the leadership of Hua Xiong and Yang Ding. He saluted Chen Mo and said, "General, this is General Li Siam who is here to help."

"General Li Xian, please see the general!" Li Xian gave Chen Mo a slight salute.

His appearance is quite handsome, with a bit of anger between his eyebrows. Although he is smiling, it feels a bit fake.

"General Li, there is no need to be polite." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to help him: "There is a truce recently, General Li can take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the military affairs of Guanzhong."

"General!" Li Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "I am here to help the general defeat the enemy. Since the enemy is not advancing, why don't our army go out of the city to fight and kill the enemy's spirit."

"General Li is teaching me how to fight?" Chen Mo looked at Li Xian with a smile.

"Uh... I don't dare." Li Xian wanted to say something, but facing Chen Mo's obviously gentle smile, he felt a little short of breath for no reason.

"This battle cannot be rushed. Our army can prevent the enemy from advancing even an inch by taking advantage of the fortified city of Yique Pass. General Li has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation. I will ask General Yang to explain it to you later. Now there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us.

It is not wise to go out of the city to fight." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I will forgive you for being reckless, general." Although Li Xian said this, he was obviously unwilling to do so. It was not because his plan was not adopted by Chen Mo, but because he seemed to be outdone in terms of momentum by this general who was several years younger than him.

It was suppressed. This feeling was strange, but also uncomfortable. Even though Chen Mo just asked so casually, he felt a sense of fear. This made Li Xian, who was used to the awe of the generals around him, very unhappy.

"It doesn't have to be like this. There are always differences in this war. Before the war breaks out, you can tell me what the general has planned." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head. Of course, as long as he is still here in Yique Pass for one day,

Then everyone must listen to him. Chen Mo must have absolute control over military power.

Li Xian nodded, indicating that he was taught. You can only tell by looking at his expression whether it is true as he said.

"Lord, this kid needs to be dealt with!" After the three people left, Dian Wei came in, looked at the direction Li Xian left, and curled his lips disdainfully.

"Young people, when you are in your prime, you will understand if you suffer more losses." Chen Mo shook his head and wrote with a smile: "And you have to suffer big losses."

"My Lord, what you said..." Dian Wei nodded, and then looked at Chen Mo strangely: "It's not appropriate, he is older than you."

"This has nothing to do with age. Some people live in vain all their lives. Li Jue is too used to him and needs to be educated." Chen Mo dried the written letter and handed it to Dian Wei and said, "Send someone to deliver it later.

Yuan Shu’s military camp.”

"Lord, do you want to deal with him?" Dian Wei's eyes lit up and he was a little eager to try.

"No, I'll take care of it. If you don't want to kill me, let Yuan Shu take care of it." Chen Mo shook his head, stood up, took off his sword from the wall, hung it on his waist and said, "We have stayed here long enough.

It’s time to go to Chenggao’s side and have a look, I heard the fighting there was fierce.”
