"General, this battle is a great victory!" After Wang Biao and others returned and handed over their troops, they found Wu Yi, with excited expressions on their faces.

That was Han Qiong, the old gun king of Hebei. He had fought in the battlefield all his life and was famous. He was a real famous general of the older generation. But today he was defeated by them. It didn’t matter what method was used. On the battlefield, it only mattered about winning or losing.

The means are good, and soldiers are not tired of deceit. Han Qiong's own carelessness was thwarted by the force of force.

"This old man is quite capable of running the army. Although he won today, he underestimated the enemy and was careless. Don't be careless." Wu Yi said with a smile. He was naturally happy to defeat Han Qiong. At least this time he had a good record.

, but I don’t think that I am better than Han Qiong because of this.

Wu Yi was born into a poor family and had a low self-esteem. He was not a gifted person. His ability was not enough to make him proud, so whenever he faced a battle, he calculated defeat before winning. This was why no matter who he fought,

The reasons are all equally divided.

"After this battle, the general will be famous all over the world." Wang Biao sat down and said with a smile: "But Han Qiong may have lost all his energy after this defeat."

The sense of oppression brought by Han Qiong's reputation to the soldiers in Guanzhong has disappeared with today's battle, so what about Han Qiong? He was just as embarrassed when he fled.

"General, my lord's army has arrived at Luchang Mountain and should arrive today!" Just as everyone was celebrating, a scout leader hurried in and saluted Wu Yi and others.

However, Chen Mo had already assembled various troops, and after ensuring the food routes in the rear, he led the army towards Chaoge.

"It's a pity that we couldn't break through the rebel defense!" Wu Yi was a little regretful. Although they defeated Han Qiong, they themselves also suffered a lot of losses, and with Zhang He on their side, no matter how capable Wu Yi was, it would be difficult for him to win without a superior force.

Let's attack the camp of these two men.

"The general has done a good enough job. After defeating Han Qiong this time, our army's morale is very high. We are just waiting for the Lord to arrive. What's the point of just Han Qiong and Zhang He?" Wang Biao and others persuaded with a smile.

Chen Mo defeated Yuan Shao's 100,000-strong army with less, and it was a full head-on confrontation. Han Qiong is known as a famous general, but looking at his record, he has never participated in such a 100,000-level battle, let alone

Speaking of commander-in-chief, and Han Qiong had just been defeated by Wu Yi, everyone had full confidence in defeating Han Qiong and Zhang He and advancing into Yecheng.

"Everyone, please go and expand the camp and arrange additional defenses. Although Han Qiong was defeated, it was quite a fluke that we were able to win this battle. The soldiers of the three armies can be proud, but we must not be arrogant and ruin our lord's important affairs. Remember to be wary of the enemy stealing the camp.

"Wu Yi Su Rong said.

"Here!" The generals took the order and left.

On the other side, Han Qiong was defeated and returned to the camp. When he saw Zhang He coming to ask, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He was a great general of Hebei, but he made such a low-level mistake on the battlefield today. He was really shameless.

After Zhang He came over, he did not mention the defeat. He just said with a salute: "Old General, the scouts just came to report that the bandit army has begun to expand the camp. I am afraid that the main force of the bandit army has arrived. This battle will not be easy to fight. I will wait for the need."

Take precautions early.”

After all, he was his senior, and after this battle, Han Qiong should have stopped underestimating the enemy. Zhang He did not criticize Han Qiong harshly again because of the defeat, which made Han Qiong very grateful.

Sighing softly, Han Qiong saluted Zhang He and said: "This defeat has dampened the spirit of our army, and I cannot escape the blame. Jun Yi will take the decision in this battle, and I will just obey orders under Jun Yi's tent."

Zhang He had previously advised him not to underestimate the enemy, but he never paid attention to it. Now that the army was defeated and returned to the camp, Han Qiong really didn't have the courage to continue competing with Zhang He for the position of general.

Zhang He was not polite, and nodded immediately, pointing to the map and saying: "The place where the camp is located is at the same angle as Chaoge. The Guanzhong Army wants to pass through this place. If they go around, the way back will be cut off, so Chaoge

It is a place that the Guanzhong army must win. I intend to guard Chaoge and the main camp with the old general to support each other. If Chen Mo sends his troops to attack the city, I can lead the army to harass his rear. If he sends his troops to attack the main camp, the old general can

After leading the troops to attack, if he divides his troops, you and I can use the power of city defense to consume his troops. What does the old general think?"

"If I were Chen Mo, I could order a group of troops to guard Chaoge or the main camp, and lead the main force to attack the other side." Han Qiong looked at the map and muttered: "If I can divide another group of troops, it would be best if they are all cavalry.

Rush to support both places."

Zhang He's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said: "What the old general said is true, so in accordance with the old general's words, I ordered Zhang Wei to lead three thousand cavalry on the side to rush to support the two places at any time."

Han Qiong nodded and said: "Good, I will lead the remaining troops to the court song."

"Then Chao Ge is a troublesome general. Chen Mo has different martial arts. He is not only proficient in military tactics and strategies, but also has many tricks. Don't be careless." Zhang He said with a smile.

"Jun Yi doesn't need to be like this. If he can't defend Chao Ge this time, the veteran will die and he won't have the face to see the late master again. I'll take my leave." Han Qiong nodded, stood up and saluted Zhang He, then turned and left.

…

As the sun sets to the west, the vast plains of Makino look a little desolate in the cold winter wind. The sporadic rural houses have long been empty, and the large tracts of fertile farmland have long been abandoned. Since Chen Mo captured Hanoi, the Yuan family will take over Makino.

After being regarded as the front line of the battle with Chen Mo, the people in the Muye area moved north one after another or fled to avoid the suffering of the war here.

The spreading soldiers walking in this desolate world seemed strangely lonely and desolate. Their steps were unhurried and unhurried, but there was a feeling that the mountains were moving. Even the little wolves and beasts wandering in the wilderness were coming from a long distance away.

avoid.

In the distance, black smoke can be seen rising and spreading to the north and east. This is Yuan Jun's warning smoke. Obviously, the appearance of this army has been discovered by Yuan Shaojun's scouts.

However, Chen Mo didn't care. It would be strange if the army was marching without being discovered. He also never thought about hiding his whereabouts.

In Wuyi's camp, busy figures can be seen from a distance. Everyone is expanding the camp to prepare for the arrival of the main army.

"Lord, our army camp is just ahead. General Wu Yi has sent someone over to confirm and exchange the tiger talisman." Pang De galloped on his horse, rushed to Chen Mo, and handed the tiger talisman to Chen Mo.

This is the rule in Chen Mo's army. In order to prevent someone from pretending to be one's own troops, the handover must have a tiger talisman as a voucher to avoid being sneaked in by the enemy. There are also secret codes when patrolling in the army. If you can't do it right, you will be the enemy.

Attack without hesitation.

Chen Mo took out his tiger talisman and connected it with the tiger talisman in Pang De's hand. After confirming that it was correct, he asked Pang De to take it to the generals of the Wuyi Army who came to support him.

Soon, Wu Yi, Wang Biao, and Zheng Tu rode up to greet Chen Mo.

"Yes, Jizhou veteran Han Qiong was defeated by you, and now Dalang can be regarded as a famous general in the world." Chen Mo got off his horse, hugged Dalang tightly, and said with a smile.

"This victory was a bit lucky. Then Han Qiong underestimated the enemy." Dalang shook his head and bowed.

"Victory means victory. As a general, you should know people's hearts. If Han Qiong underestimates the enemy, it means that he is not moral enough and is not worthy of being a famous general." Chen Mo laughed and pulled Dalang towards the camp. As for the army, there are many of them.

Will be settled.

When the generals came to the tent, Chen Mo knelt down on the commander's seat, motioned for everyone to take their seats, and said with a smile: "This battle is about whether our army can take control of Jizhou. On the way here, we have received news that Yuan Tan has informed Cao Cao

After defecting, the plains are now under Cao Cao's control. In the Puyang area, Jiang Yiqu and Sui Yuanjin were banned by Cao Yu and defeated by Li Dian. Now they are sticking to Puyang. Yuan Shang and Cao Cao are facing off in Gaotang. They have turned offense to defense. However, Jizhou is now surrounded by enemies. Yuan Shang

The defeat of the clan is only a matter of time."

"Lord, if this happens, wouldn't our army have lost the upper hand?" Zhang Ji frowned.

"Indeed, Cao Cao has already occupied the plains, Bohai Sea, Zhao State and even Qinghe. Yuan Tan's surrender can be said to have given him an advantage, but our army is not without a chance of victory." Chen Mo said with a smile: "

Yecheng is our army's turning point. As long as we capture Yecheng, our army in the north can unite with Ziyi to attack Zhongshan and Changshan to consolidate the land gained in Jizhou. If Cao's army continues to move north, our army can send troops to the plains.

, Qinghe, cutting off his return route and food route, severely damaging his vitality, so now Cao Cao has an advantage, and Jizhou may not be his, but the premise is that Ye City can be captured by our army. If

If even Yecheng is lost, our army will have no chance of winning."

If you want to attack Yecheng, you must first go to Chaoge. After hearing this, the generals frowned and thought hard about countermeasures.

"My lord, since Yuan Shang's defeat is now certain, why don't we join Cao Cao's example and try to recruit Yuan Shang to surrender? If Yuan Shang is willing to surrender, Yecheng can be conquered without a fight." Yang Xiu offered advice at the side.

"The truth is correct." Chen Mo nodded and said: "However, Yuan Shang is different from Yuan Tan. Although the situation has been decided, he still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jizhou that can be mobilized. Before the last moment, he wants to persuade

I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to surrender."

Yuan Tan Yonglie, but his sense of politics was too low and his vision was not good. He was deceived by his subordinates and handed over his rights, which caused him to be completely ignored. The plains and other places he worked so hard ended up becoming Cao Cao's wedding dress. Compared with

Compared to Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang is much better. At least he knows how to weigh things and knows how to choose when it is time to give up. If he is given ten years, I am afraid his achievements will still be higher than Yuan Shao's. It is a pity that in this world of disputes, it is not so difficult.

Give him a few more years, and both Chen Mo and Cao Cao intend to break the pattern of the three heroes in the north.

"Lord, according to the scouts' investigation, Han Qiong is stationed in Chaoge, and Zhang He is stationed in the camp outside the city. The two sides are each other's horns, and there is a cavalry to support them. It will not be easy for our army to break through Chaoge." Wu Yi saluted Chen Mo.

, frowned.

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Although our army currently has the advantage in terms of strength, if we lose too much here, it may be difficult to attack Ye City. Let's test it out tomorrow to see how the other side handles the enemy. We will make further calculations later.
