Chapter 139

However, Chen Mo is not a gentleman or a villain. It is between the two, so it is hard to see through!”

"Oh?" Xun You was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously, "Can you say it in detail?"

Cao Cao nodded, and after recalling for a moment, he whispered, "If you want to say that this person is a gentleman, but you don't want to be cleansed, you first threw yourself into the Yellow Turban to help the witch Zhang Susu harm many meritorious people to fight against the thief, and then committed to Dong Zhuo, helping the evil to abuse, which can be regarded as a fool... But if you say that he is a villain, although this person is a huge murderous crime, he has never harmed any people. Moreover, this person knows good and evil and understands the truth, it is really unimaginable that such a person is willing to fall into decline and becomes a thief, which is quite difficult to see through! - Cao's only sure is that this person's most important promise, if the Yellow Turban and Yuan Shu have secretly formed a covenant, as long as Yuan Shu does not break the contract lightly, this person will not rebel!"

"The lord seems to love this person quite?" Cheng Yu said with a chuckling.

"Haha," Cao Cao laughed and said softly, "Who doesn't like this kind of hero? Besides..." As he said that, he paused and sighed slightly, "Cao still owes him a favor! - Cao had an agreement with Chen Mo to help me assassinate Dong Zhuo, regardless of success or failure, Cao helped him secretly escort the two women in the palace out of the city. This person had fulfilled this agreement, but Cao... At that time, he was in chaos due to the assassination failure. For a moment, he forgot to fulfill his promise and escaped from the city alone... How disobedient! How embarrassed!"

Seeing Cao Cao's guilty comments, Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other and felt that it was difficult to interrupt. After a long time, Xun You tactfully changed the topic and turned to ask Guo Jia, "Watching Fengxiao looks seems to be clear-headed. What kind of tricks do you have? Why not tell me?"

Guo Jia chuckled a few times, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Since ancient times, if you want to talk about enemy generals, you must first make him fall into trouble!"

"The meaning of Fengxiao is..." Xun You seemed to understand something, narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Come on Yuan Shu?"

"That's right!" Guo Jia shook the wine gourd in his hand and said with a chuckle, "There are so many false ministers under the fainting lord, we just need to do this..." As he said that, he lowered his voice and said a few words, making Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he had to surrender to the think tank under his command.

"Good plan! Good plan! - Then act according to Fengxiao!"

In the following ten days of situation, Cao's army suddenly deviated from normal and stepped up its attack on the east coast of Si Shui.

You should know that during the night attack a few days ago, whether it was the loss of troops or the rebellion of the generals under his command, Lu Bu's side could be said to have suffered heavy losses. Therefore, Lu Bu retreated to the camp these days and did not take the initiative to invite war. He only wanted to waste Cao Cao's army's food supply and had no choice but to retreat.

Naturally, the east bank of Sishui became the territory of Yuan Shu's army. Although Yuan Shu was not willing to guard the gate for Lu Bu, he did not want Cao Cao to seize Xuzhou. Therefore, he had no choice but to take over the defense of the east bank of Sishui, but his plan was the same as that of Lu Bu.

A few days ago, perhaps because of the weather, the Cao army did not make any movement. In the past few days, the Cao army suddenly crossed the water and attacked the east, causing Yuan Shu's generals to be in a hurry.

It has to be said that in recent days, the Cao army's offensive has become too fierce, as if it is a momentum that Xuzhou will not give up. It attacks at night and attacks, and uses all the best. After a series of confrontations, the Qu troops under Yuan Shu's tent, Liang Gang, Li Feng and other generals suffered heavy losses.

But what is strange is that the Cao army frequently attacked Liang Gang, Li Feng and other Yuan generals camps, who were stationed on the other side of the Si River, but unexpectedly ignored Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi.

If it was once or twice, but after three or five times, it would be a big deal. After all, Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi were only thirty miles away from Liang Gang and Li Feng's camp, why did wars frequently break out in the middle, but the upstream were peaceful?

After a few days, Liang Gang and Li Feng lost more than 10,000 soldiers, while Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi in the upper reaches were unscathed. Not to mention casualties, they didn't even see the shadow of Cao's army, let alone Lu Bu who firmly guarded the camp.

As Guo Jia expected, Yuan Shu was not willing to guard the gate for Lu Bu for nothing. Now, seeing his troops and horses suffer heavy casualties, he felt even more unswerving.

Why did our direct troops suffer heavy casualties, but the Yellow Turban and Lu Bu's two soldiers were not damaged at all?

Yuan Shu couldn't help but doubt Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi, who were upstream, doubting whether they had secretly colluded with Lu Bu.

I have to say that Yuan Shu really wronged others, whether it was Chen Mo, Zhang Baiqi, or Lu Bu.

After all, Chen Mo's current task is to defend the important land of Kohosokawa, while Zhang Baiqi's task is to prevent the Cao army from secretly crossing the river from the upper reaches. Since the Cao army is not moving upstream of the Si River, why should they make things boring? After all, the two of them have only more than 10,000 troops added together, how can they reach more than 10,000 Cao's army?

Lu Bu's idea was even simpler. Now he was at a disadvantage, and Yuan Shu never let down his covetousness for Xuzhou. After all, he just didn't want Cao Cao to take Xuzhou. Therefore, why did Lu Bu help his future enemies? I'm afraid he would probably want Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shu to lose both sides. In this way, Xuzhou will naturally be in peace.

After all, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu were not allied.

As the saying goes, the most complicated thing in the world is the hearts of the people. Under Guo Jia's guidance, Yuan Shu had doubts about the Yellow Turban. Therefore, he sent a messenger to Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi who were in the upper reaches, and ordered Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi to immediately use troops against Cao Cao.

This sudden general order was really a bit inexplicable. However, given that the Yellow Turban was now living under someone else's roof, it was difficult for both of them to refuse. They could only lead their troops to attack the camps of Cao's generals Le Jin and Xu Chu at the stone bridge upstream of Sishui according to the general order.

However, Le Jin and Xu Chu had already received Guo Jia's secret advice and did not fight with the invading Black Wolf Cavalry and the Yellow Turban soldiers. They only asked the crossbowmen under their command to set up their formation on the west bank of Sishui, and did not shoot arrows, but only used passive defense. Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi saw the crossbowmen of Cao's army treating them solemnly on the other side, so naturally they did not dare to offend the attack.

Therefore, in recent days, Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi have successively attacked Le. Xu Chu's military camp four or five times, and Chen Mo even fought with Cao's powerful general Xu Chu several times, but the casualties between the two armies were still zero.

To put it, this phenomenon is not surprising. After all, no one will foolishly crash into the enemy's bow and arrow range, especially when it is separated by a Si River. You must know that the terrain is clearly beneficial to the Cao army. If Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi attack rashly, there will be heavy casualties.

However, Yuan Shu couldn't accept it. After all, the fact that the two armies had fought for several days and the casualties on both sides was zero was really hard to convince. If the Black Wolf Cavalry had lost dozens or hundreds, Yuan Shu would probably be acceptable. After all, at least the Yellow Turbans had fought with Cao's army, and the current situation made him feel more and more uneasy.

What followed was almost completely Guo Jia's expectation. Cao's army's attitude towards the upstream and middle reaches was increasingly dissatisfied with the generals of Yuan Shu's army.

Why are we fighting bloody battles while those Yellow Turban thieves are watching the fire from the upper reaches across the shore?!

Could it be that the Yellow Turbans had an affair with Cao Jun?!

As the saying goes, when rumors prevail to a point, they will no longer be rumors, but established facts!

Just half a month after Guo Jia's plan, rumors spread everywhere in Yuan Shu's army, saying that the Yellow Turban wanted to rebel and defect to Cao Cao. Even though Yuan Shu didn't believe that Zhang Susu dared to do this, inexplicable uneasiness still arose in his heart.

After all, if the Yellow Turban really turned against him, Yuan Shu would probably have lost him, not to mention the defeat in this battle, even Shouchun and Runan would have been abandoned, especially when he recalled the past when Chen Mo broke into the chaos alone and held him hostage, he was even more shocked and angry.

While uneasy, Yuan Shu immediately sent more than a hundred confidant guards to surround Zhang Susu's tent, under the name of protection, but in fact, it was in custody to prevent Chen Mo and Zhang Baiqi from turning against each other in the upper reaches of the Si River.

However, this action undoubtedly stimulated the Yellow Turban soldiers in the camp, and further intensified the conflict between Yuan Shu army and the Yellow Turban army. Even Zhang Susu was extremely dissatisfied with this.

"The lord's move is very wrong!"

After hearing this news, Yang Hong was still a step late. After hearing that Yuan Shu had ordered someone to imprison Zhang Susu in the Northern Camp, Yang Hong paused his feet and said, "Why is the lord uncle who is not clear? This is a plan for Cao's army to separate the lord and the Huang Turban in Xiacai... How can the lord not think about it? At present, the foundation of the Yellow Turban is in Xiacai, like Chen Mo and others, and their families are in Xiacai City. If there is any rebellion, wouldn't he know that the lord will mobilize troops to suppress it? In this way, how dare they rebel?"

It has to be said that Yang Hong said something that made Yuan Shu suddenly realize it and suddenly realized it. He immediately ordered the removal of Zhang Susu and the soldiers under his command of the Yellow Turban Army. However, the rumors in the army have not stopped, and Zhang Susu's anger has not subsided. Taking a step back, the previous conflict between Yuan Shu's army and the Yellow Turban Army has not been resolved.

Seeing this situation, another adviser under Yuan Shu's tent, Wang Qi, proposed a plan, that is, to ask Yuan Shu to marry Zhang Susu to alleviate the differences in the army. It has to be said that Yuan Shu was quite moved by what this person said. After all, Zhang Susu was the most beautiful and beautiful in the world, and he had already salivated, but due to the identity of this woman, it was not easy to get involved.

However, this matter was harshly opposed by counselor Yang Hong.

"No! - If the lord is like this, it would be no different to dig his own grave!" Yang Hong shook his head repeatedly and persuaded seriously, "Why don't the lord know that Zhang Susu is a human being? Although this person is a daughter, he has ambitions for a man. What's more, it is rumored that this woman is concerned about the general Chen Mo under her command, and she is entangled with Chen Mo. If the lord marry him, it will damage the lord's reputation for no reason, and the second is, it may lead to Chen Mo's dissatisfaction and a dispute over the pastoral life..."

Unfortunately, Yuan Shu did not listen to Yang Hong's advice.

"Chen Mo is a general under Zhang Susu. If I marry Zhang Susu, he will regard me as the main force. How can there be disputes? Or, is my four families and three masters in the Yuan family still worthy of a mere thief daughter? Furthermore, as a woman, how could Zhang Susu be willing to show up in public? It's just out of helplessness. When I win the world in the future, I will be granted a concubine!"

Yang Hong repeatedly advised him, but Yuan Shu didn't take it at all. I have to say that Yuan Shu's tone was very rampant, as if he had already held the world, but he was wrong. Even if all women in the world admired Ronghua, only Zhang Susu could not. You should know that this woman didn't even take the entire Xuzhou seriously. What she wanted was the huge world, the Yellow Turbans made a comeback, not the name of a concubine like a vassal.

It is not difficult to imagine what kind of angry expression she would show when this news reached Zhang Susu's ears.

The next day, Wang Qi, a counselor under Yuan Shu, finally told Zhang Susu tactfully under the banner of comfort. From beginning to end, Zhang Susu's face kept a faint smile, as if she had no objection to the proposal. But when Wang Qi stepped out of the tent, her beautiful face showed anger that could not be concealed.

"It's too much!"

To be honest, with Zhang Susu's intelligence and talent, it was not difficult for her to see that Cao's army's abnormal behavior in the previous period was undoubtedly to alienate Yuan Shu and the Yellow Turban. Therefore, when Yuan Shu sent someone to imprison him in the tent and not to go out, Zhang Susu endured it, but this time, she felt a little unbearable!

But then again, what if we can't bear it anymore? Now that the Yellow Turban is under someone else's roof, if Yuan Shu no longer intends to protect the Yellow Turban, then the Yellow Turban will undoubtedly face a terrible place of terrible destruction. Apart from Yuan Shu, who can accommodate the rebellious Yellow Turban?

Just when Zhang Susu was in a dilemma and was at a loss, a guest came to visit him...

"Is that you? I asked Cao Cao to take this plan of separation, Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao? - I'm so brave. Are you not afraid that I will ask someone to tie you up and present you to Yuan Shu's seat?"

Looking at Zhang Susu's cold gaze and not caring about the threat in his words, Guo Jia smiled slightly and bowed.

"I think the Heavenly Master won't do that..."

"Yes," Zhang Susu snorted lightly, saying lightly, "If your words don't satisfy me..."

"..." Guo Jia was stunned, then smiled slightly. During this period, he couldn't help but look at the Yellow Turban general who brought him into the camp, and then looked at Zhang Susu with a smile on his face, and a little surprise appeared in his eyes.
