The Nameless of the Common Clans

Zhang Yan.

Chen Mo drew a circle on the map where the Black Mountain Bureau was, and finally shook his head and sighed. Now is definitely not the best time to send troops. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao sent envoys to see them, wanting to form an alliance, and Chen Mo also agreed. , but although this three-point situation is stable, it is difficult to develop further. No matter which direction it develops, it will be restricted by others, and the situation becomes very delicate.

Although Chen Mo, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao are strong now, no matter which one moves, the other two will take action to restrict them. On the contrary, Sun Ce, who is still weak now, has no such concerns. As he had speculated during the previous discussion in the government office, Sun Ce If you don't fight with Cao Cao, you can go up the river, raid Jingzhou, and go west to conquer Shu.

Gotta find a way to contain it!

Jiangdong Sunlang has become a climate.

"Husband?" Cai Yan called softly. He was wearing a single coat and covering his chest with one hand. He looked bleary-eyed at Chen Mo who was staring at the map under the lamp: "Why don't you rest?"

"I'm thinking about the future." Chen Mo shook his head, put his arms around his wife and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for the world to be unified again in a short time."

"It's not easy for women to talk about national affairs." Cai Yan leaned into Chen Mo's arms and said softly: "But since it is difficult to reunite in a short time, your husband should also take care of your body."

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded, took Cai Yan back to the couch, and turned off the light...

The end of the five years of Jian'an was not peaceful. Although Yuan Shao did not mobilize troops in large numbers, Yuan Tan of Qingzhou frequently mobilized his troops in Qingzhou and clashed with Cao Cao from time to time.

This was obviously testing Cao Cao's bottom line and intended to provoke Cao Cao to take action first.

Cao Cao ordered Zang Ba of Xuzhou to fortify the Langya area, and ordered Lu Qian from Taishan County to cooperate with Zang Ba to suppress Yuan Tan, so that Yuan Tan did not dare to move lightly. The two sides had fought dozens of wars in October, although the scale was large. Not too big, but there was a complete break between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Chen Mo also tentatively reached out to Hanoi and ordered Yu Sheng to lead his army across the river in an attempt to occupy Huai County, which is the county's governor. However, he was blocked by reinforcements. Yuan Shao also specially sent General Gao Lan to garrison in Dai County to guard against Yanmen Prefect Guo Yao.

Chen Mo's temptation is obviously not a good thing for Yuan Shao. This means that Chen Mo is actually going to practice with Cao Cao!

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter is actually not surprising. As the saying goes, if Cao Cao dies, Chen Mo will definitely be unable to protect himself. With Chen Mo's ability, he can see the disadvantages and join forces with Cao Cao to fight against the lord. It can only be said that the lord is too Too powerful!" Xu You persuaded with a smile: "In addition, now that Cao Cao has granted Sizhou Mu to Chen Mo, this land in Hanoi is also under Sizhou's rule. Logically speaking, Chen Mo is right."

Sizhou is the place where the three auxiliaries are located, not to mention the establishment of a state pastor, and it has never even set up a governor. It is where the emperor is, but now Cao Cao has created a Sizhou pastor. Firstly, it established the legitimacy of Chen Mo's control over the land of the three auxiliaries. , Secondly, it also means to disgust Yuan Shao. If the land of Hanoi is captured by Chen Mo, the two families will be fully bordered.

"It's true in principle. Did Ziyuan ask me to give up Hanoi to him?" Yuan Shao said angrily.

Speaking of which, Hanoi was also plagued by disasters. When the princes were fighting against Dong, their armies were stationed in Suanzao. No benefits were brought, but Hanoi was left in a mess. Later, it was occupied by Zhang Yang, but in fact it was secretly controlled by Yuan Shao. Zhang Yang controlled Jiguan The provocations have not stopped, and the use of troops year after year has had a serious impact on the people's livelihood in Hanoi.

Later, Zang Hong rebelled against Yuan Ying, and Chen Mo directly killed Zhang Yang to save Zang Hong. Although the land of Hanoi eventually fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, most of the population was moved away by Chen Mo. Now Chen Mo takes the initiative to provoke Yuan Shao, First Hanoi is still the target, and the terrain here is very important and can directly threaten Wei County, which is the hinterland of Yuan Shao. Once Chen Mo really takes Hanoi, Yuan Shao will definitely attack. This position is too important for Yuan Shao.

"Of course not!" Xu You shook his head and said: "My lord, my intention is to send a general to stay in Hanoi all year round. Now the land north of Henei belongs to the lord. In the future, the lord will definitely go south. The land west of Hanoi Deterrence Hulao , connected to the Central Plains to the south, once a war breaks out, you can cross the river to deter Cao's army from behind, or you can pinch Chen Mozhi's throat so that he cannot move. Therefore, I thought that I would gather heavy troops in Hanoi and send a general to garrison here. ”

Yuan Shao felt that there was some truth to it, and looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think, sir?"

"Lord, if Yu Sheng is newly defeated, why not take advantage of the situation to seize Aocang, use Aocang as the boundary, and defeat Chen Mo's defense in Chenggao?" Guo Tu said with a bow.

"Inappropriate." Tian Feng frowned and said: "Yu Sheng has followed Chen Mo for many years. He has experienced many battles and is the best at defense. This time, the Hanoi army was able to repel him. Firstly, the opponent did not use all his strength, and secondly, he took advantage of the geographical advantage. It’s just that if you want to capture Aocang now, you’ll probably lose more than you gain.”

"Then Yu Sheng only defeated Zhang Yang. How much ability can Zhang Yang have? How can he compare with our generals? Besides, if we can capture Aocang, Hanoi can threaten Cao Cao. Otherwise, even if our army gathers heavy troops in Hanoi, once we send out troops, It is also easy to be constrained by Yu Sheng." Guo Tu frowned.

Yu Sheng and Yuan Shao under Chen Mo also know that he is quite good at guarding. Zhang Yang has been operating in Hanoi for so many years, but he can't take advantage of Yu Sheng. Needless to say his ability, but Tian Feng said this, it always destroys his own prestige, Guo Tu said That's right. If Hanoi sends troops, what will happen if Yu Sheng takes advantage of the situation?

At that moment, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "In that case, according to Gongzhi's words, I ordered Yan Liang to lead his troops and capture Aocang while the river has not thawed. I also let Chen Mo know how powerful he is and not to interfere carelessly!"

Chen Mo asked Yu Sheng to send troops this time, obviously also to deter Yuan Shao and let Yuan Shao not to move rashly, to show his position. Although no losses were caused, this attitude also made Yuan Shao dissatisfied. He was ready to teach Chen Mo a lesson, starting with Yu Sheng.

"My lord, it is not wise to make enemies with Chen Mo at this time!" Tian Feng frowned.

"I have made up my mind, Yan Liang!" Yuan Shao snorted in dissatisfaction.

"I am here!" Under the tent, the general Yan Liang stepped out and saluted Yuan Shao.

"Lead 10,000 elite troops, cross the river and attack, and capture Ao Cang as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao shouted.

"I will obey your order!" Yan Liang agreed loudly and left after receiving the order.

"My lord..." Tian Feng wanted to persuade him again, but was pulled by Ju Su on the side, indicating that he should not say anything more. Yuan Shao was obviously a little impatient with Tian Feng, and this time it was Chen Mo who took the initiative to provoke and demonstrate, so it would be good to teach Chen Mo a lesson.

Alas~

Tian Feng sighed and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao did not say anything else, but just let everyone go.

Although it was not a major battle, the outcome of this battle would largely determine the situation in the future.
