The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 480 Yang Xiu's plan to alienate the generals

As the Chaoge war gradually came to an end, the Jizhou army who resisted in the city died or surrendered. Gao Shun, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Cui Geng and others came to the government office one after another to resume their duties.

"How is the loss of the trapped camp?" Chen Mo looked at Gao Shun. Although the trapped camp has only a thousand people, they are all elites who are constantly selected through the survival of the fittest in the army. If they were placed in the army, every soldier in the trapped camp would be able to serve as a general. Chen Mo would be heartbroken if any of the generals or even military lords lost their strength. This was also the reason why Chen Mo refused Gao Shun to fight in the first place.

"Thirteen people were killed and sixty-eight were injured." Gao Shun saluted Chen Mo for his intervention.

"Arrange treatment for the injured soldiers as soon as possible. The soldiers who died in battle should be recorded by their orders. After the war, supplies will be distributed to their families according to the rank of military princes. Don't let the morale of the army be chilled." Chen Mo sighed. The casualties were not huge, but they were against the trapped camp. It's not small, after all, the trapped camp wears the best equipment in the army, holds the sharpest weapons, and is trained by the most elite soldiers selected from the army.

"Well, thank you, lord." Gao Shun said with a bow.

"The soldiers are fighting desperately. I can't chill their hearts and go to appease the morale of the army." Chen Mo nodded. He has always not only grasped the power of the military, but also the morale of the army. This is why Chen Mo can always be strong and not worry about the army's rebellion. reason.

"Here!" Gao Shun agreed, turned and left.

Chen Mo looked at the rest of the generals and said in a deep voice: "Chaoge has been defeated. Next, our army can go straight to Yecheng. Everyone, please go down to rest and reorganize the army. The next battle will not be so easy; in addition, Zhang He will If they don't want to be completely defeated, they have no choice but to flee back to Yecheng to set up defenses, notify Ma Chao, and hold on tight all the way. In addition, Pang De also led the cavalry to pursue him along the way. I want him to lose more than half of his troops before he enters Yecheng! "

Now that Jizhou's troops and horses have all been revealed, every less point will give Chen Mo more confidence and less resistance in attacking Jizhou in the future.

"Here!" The generals took orders to rest and reorganize the army, and some soldiers went to order Ma Chao to keep an eye on Zhang He and not let him escape.

On the other side, at Zhang He's camp, Zhang Yi retreated in disgrace. In a battle with Pound, he not only failed to gain any advantage, but was almost killed by Pound. This made Zhang Yi worried about whether Zhang He would punish him.

However, after Zhang He learned about this, his reaction was not big. He just gently advised: "The enemy's army is so powerful that even Chaoge City has been destroyed. It is not easy for the general to lead his troops back. Let's go down and rest first."

"General, now that Chaoge has been defeated, the camp here cannot be defended for a long time. Why not withdraw to Yecheng? With the strength of Yecheng, even if Chen Mo has more soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to break through!" Seeing that Zhang He did not blame himself. Zhang Wei became more courageous and started to persuade.

If you continue to stay here, with the remaining troops of Zhang He, how can you stop Chen Mo's army?

"It's not that simple." Zhang He sighed. Once Chen Mo's troops arrived at Ye City, the blow to the entire Jizhou would be unprecedentedly huge, especially Yuan Shang who was still fighting the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Tan on the front line. I'm afraid that he is at a loss. What's more, even if he wants to leave, will Chen Mo let him leave safely?

"General, please lead the cavalry back to Yecheng and inform the generals to prepare defenses. Chen Mo's army may not be able to stop it." After a moment, Zhang He looked at Zhang Wei and said.

"What about the general?" Zhang Wei looked at Zhang He and asked with a frown.

"Let's try to escape. If we can bring these troops back, there will be more hope for Yecheng to be defended." Zhang He said bitterly.

If you can't beat them, withdraw? It was impossible to escape unscathed, he had to minimize his losses.

"General, please retire. General, please be careful." Zhang He saluted. Now that the matter has reached this point, there is no need to worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If we don't leave, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave in the end. Now every one can leave.

Zhang He nodded in agreement and signaled Zhang Wei to leave.

Zhang Wei immediately ordered the cavalry to leave the camp, preparing to rush back to Yecheng overnight. However, just as the army left the camp, he saw countless torches suddenly appeared around him. At the same time, a cavalry stopped on the road and said loudly: "I am Pang De, the general of Xiliang. It's only a matter of time before Jizhou falls. If you don't surrender, are you really going to die with the Yuan family?"

The general who came was Pang De. After receiving Chen Mo's order, he led his troops and horses to wander around this area. At night, he even had people hold extra torches to ambush the enemy on the only way to retreat. Unexpectedly, he actually caught one. Retreating troops.

The night was blurry, Zhang Wei saw torches everywhere, and felt a little panicked. The oncoming Pang De made Zhang Wei lose his fighting spirit.

If you can't beat it, you can only retreat.

"General Zhang, please retreat!" Just when Zhang Wei was about to retreat, he saw a scribe riding out from behind Pang De and came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "I'm Yang Xiu, I have something to say to the general."

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands and said, "I wonder if you have any advice, sir."

"I don't take advice seriously." Yang Xiu smiled and said, "But has the general ever thought about his own future?"

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Zhang Wei frowned.

"The song of this battle has been lost. Our lord's army will arrive at Yecheng soon, and Yuan Shang is still fighting against Cao Cao. Although Gao Gan is a man from a famous family, his ability is far inferior to that of General Zhang He. Don't say Now that General Zhang He is trapped here alone, what can he do if he escapes into Yecheng?" Yang Xiu smiled and said, "How long can Yecheng hold out?"

"No need to worry, sir." Zhang Wei snorted coldly.

"I'm not worried about Ye City, but have you ever thought about it, general? Even if you can defend Ye City, now our army and Cao's army are attacking Jizhou together, and Gongsun Du is still in the north. Our lord's Taishi Ci has now sent troops to advance. The land of Zhongshan and Changshan, Jizhou Bureau The situation is clear. Even if we hold Yecheng, how can Yuan Shang resist us? I'm afraid he will be defeated and die in the end. Does the general really want to accompany the Yuan family to the underworld?" Yang Xiu said with a smile: "Yuan family? The situation is over, the general needs to make plans early!”

Zhang Wei remained silent and looked at Yang Xiu with a frown.

Yang Xiu smiled and said: "That's it, general, go ahead. We will never attack each other today, but please general, please don't try to break out again, otherwise, you won't be able to leave so easily next time."

"Thank you!" After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wei saluted Yang Xiu, turned his horse's head and headed towards the camp.

"Sir!" After seeing Zhang Wei leave, Pang De rode his horse and came to Yang Xiu's side: "If you say these words in public, how can you hide them from Zhang He?"

"I just want Zhang He to know." Yang Xiu smiled and said: "The generals are at odds. It will be easier for us to capture Zhang He. As for whether Zhang He surrenders or not, it will not affect the overall situation."

Mud, you know this scholar is full of bad things.

Pang De grinned and said with a chuckle: "Then continue to guard?"

"No need, just leave the scouts to watch. I don't think he dares to come out again tonight." Yang Xiu shook his head. In fact, there are not many troops sent here. The number of people sent here was a bluff. Chen Mo's army is still in Chaoge. Woolen cloth.

On the other side, after Zhang Wei returned to the camp, Zhang He looked at Zhang Wei with some confusion: "Why are you back?"

Zhang Wei bowed and said: "There are a large number of thieves outside the camp blocking the way. It will be difficult for the general to get out."

Zhang He frowned when he heard this. Does Chen Mo want to keep his team completely?

"Since you can't escape, you should go down and rest first, and we'll see you tomorrow." Zhang He glanced at Zhang Wei and said.

"Here, I will retire!" Zhang Wei left with a heavy heart. Zhang He looked at Zhang Wei's back and frowned. Just as he was about to take a rest, he saw a cavalryman coming to the door.

"General, I have something to report." The cavalry general bowed outside the tent.

"Come in!" Zhang He nodded and signaled to the guards to let him go.

"Here!" the cavalry general agreed and stepped into the tent.

"What can I report?" Zhang He asked.

"General, we were outside the camp just now. Although we were blocked, we did not fight. One of the enemy troops came out, calling himself Yang Xiu, and wanted to persuade General Zhang Wei to surrender..." What happened outside the camp just now, the cavalry general He told Zhang He in detail. Although Zhang Yi had asked them not to talk about it, most of the cavalry in the army were trained by Zhang He and were not Zhang He's private soldiers. How could they listen to Zhang He's advice.

"Is this happening?" Zhang He frowned, nodded and said: "I already know, you go to rest first, I have my own thoughts on this matter!"

"Here!" the cavalry general agreed and bowed to leave.

"Alas~"

Looking at the back of the cavalry officer leaving, Zhang He sighed. The situation in Jizhou is not optimistic now. It is inevitable that people will be upset once the Chaoge is broken. However, Zhang Wei did not mention a word about this matter and even issued a silence order. This While Zhang He was dissatisfied, he also felt increasingly anxious.

Zhang Wei's story was already known, and Zhang He was not afraid that he would cause any trouble, but what he was more worried about was how many people in the camp had similar thoughts at this moment?

Thinking about these things, Zhang He finally fell into a deep sleep. No matter what happened, it would be tomorrow's matter. He needed to have a good rest tonight. He could foresee that starting from tomorrow, sleeping peacefully would be a luxury.

There was no talk all night. Early the next morning, Chen Mo commanded the army to arrive outside Zhang He's camp. He began to surround the camp on both sides and released two groups. This was considered to give Zhang He a chance. However, Ma Chao and Pang De led the cavalry on the side. If Zhang He really wanted to If you try to escape, the outcome will not be good.

The three armies were in position, and Chen Mo ordered Han Kai to go out and call for surrender.

"My lord admires the talents of General Jun Yi. If General Jun Yi is willing to surrender, my lord is willing to ask the imperial court for the title of Marquis of Ting for the general!" Han Kai looked at Zhang He on the gate and said loudly.

"Please tell Marquis Changling that I am a man of no virtue and incompetence. I appreciate Marquis Changling's great love. However, my lord treats me very well. How can I abandon you? Don't say this again." Zhang He said loudly.

"But the Lord is about to be defeated now. The general is acting like this, but it is nothing but foolish loyalty!"

"Whether you are foolish or loyal depends on your ability!" Zhang He heard this and snorted coldly: "Don't say any more. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless with the weapons in my hands!"

"Farewell!" Han Kai snorted coldly, turned the horse's head and returned to the main formation.

Zhang He refused to surrender, which Chen Mo expected, so he immediately waved his command flag and the attack on the camp began!
