Chapter 20: Disasters Don't Single

A day later, Zhang Susu finally led the Qingzhou soldiers to the Baima Ferry. It has to be said that the speed of the Qingzhou soldiers under her command was really amazing. They actually arrived at the Baima before Cao Cao. You must know that Cao Cao was still staying in Yanjin and Pingqiu area to build defenses.

No wonder, it is like Chen Mo. Although he kept silent and refused to mention Zhang Susu, once he heard someone say bad things about her, he would still feel dissatisfied and even hostile. On the other hand, although Zhang Susu had a very irrelevant relationship with Chen Mo during this period, even when he met, he would turn a blind eye to each other, but after all, Chen Mo was still an irreplaceable existence in Zhang Susu's heart. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Susu could first arrive in Puyang to set up defenses in this short time, and then come to Baima.

But then again, when she saw Zhang Ning, especially when she saw her talking and laughing with Chen Mo, Zhang Susu's heart was really cold, and she couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

Therefore, Zhang Susu, who had not spoken a word since entering the camp, finally spoke the first sentence.

"Why, why is she here?!"

In an instant, the entire tent was silent. Except for Cao Ren, who was recovering from the wounded, all the generals in Cao's camp at the Baima Ferry subconsciously lowered their heads and secretly watched the expressions of Zhang Susu, Zhang Ning and Chen Mo. Among them, Sima Yi's curiosity about this aspect was particularly outstanding.

"Ha," facing the glaring eyes of his biological sister, Zhang Ning smiled slightly and said lightly, "Sister said this, where is the sister going? Can you still report to you?"

Zhang Susu slapped the table angrily when she heard this. She had to say that she was a little angry at this moment and did not consider whether she was Zhang Ning's opponent. She angrily scolded, "Why do you bitch stick to Xiao Mo? Shameless!"

After hearing this, Zhang Ning's face sank and said coldly, "Good sister Yu, this is not in your Tianshi Mansion. It seems that I need to teach you a lesson and teach you how to talk to your sister!" Her tone was filled with threats.

To be honest, Zhang Ning does have a good impression of Chen Mo who is a little different from ordinary people, but since Chen Mo is married and is a married man, Zhang Ning has never expressed his feelings at all. Then Zhang Susu, who is jealous of the matter, said it in one go. It is no wonder that Zhang Ning was angry, especially the bitch and shameless.

In fact, Zhang Susu had already realized her loss of composure, but she did not want to show weakness to Zhang Ning at all. She suddenly stood up, stretched her right hand, and a dark blue fox fire was ignited in her hand. At the same time, the red ghost Lu Bu, who stood behind him, also took a step forward and stared at Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning glanced at the fox fire in Zhang Susu's hand, raised a few smiles on the corner of her mouth, and slowly stood up, shook her sleeves lightly, as if she didn't take Zhang Susu in her heart at all.

I have to say that the tense atmosphere between the two women made Zhang Liao and others in the tent really sweat. At this moment, Chen Mo, who could not tolerate the two women making a fuss in the tent, finally stood up and frowned and said, "Stop! - Do you think this is where this is!" After that, he looked at Zhang Ning with a slight pleading look, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Ning, this is a white horse camp, I hope..."

Chen Mo knew very well that if he had taken action here, even if Zhang Susu had Lu Bu's help, he would not be Zhang Ning's opponent. I have to say that even if he said that he would be with Zhang Susu, in his heart, he was still very concerned about Zhang Susu and almost favored him.

To be honest, Zhang Ning, who knew how to read mind, immediately captured the thoughts in Chen Mo's mind. Even if he deliberately or unintentionally protected Zhang Susu, Chen Mo's serious expression and begging eyes made Zhang Ning unable to refuse. Even when the two of them were in contact with each other, Zhang Ning felt some inexplicable panic in his heart, and the little deer was slamming and unable to extricate himself.

"I have lost my composure..." Zhang Ning's pretty face turned slightly red, and she sat down in panic.

Seeing this, Chen Mo looked at Zhang Susu and said in a slightly blameful tone, "Don't you put it away yet?"

Seeing that Chen Mo was so polite when he spoke to Zhang Ning and was so fierce to himself, Zhang Susu felt aggrieved, her eyes turned red slightly, she wiped out the fox fire in her hand, and sat back to the table silently.

Xiao Mo changed his mind...

Zhang Susu, who was extremely aggrieved, bit her lips and looked silently at the bright redness of Zhang Ning's face, and her actions of secretly looking at Chen Mo from time to time, affirmed her guess.

To be honest, Chen Mo was a little unfair. The reason why he was polite to Zhang Ning and was so strict to Zhang Susu was nothing more than because he was not very familiar with Zhang Ning, so he had to be more polite. As for Zhang Susu, apart from the unhappiness he had in the past few days, what was the relationship between the two?

Perhaps, this is what is called familiar unreasonable.

If it were in normal times, Zhang Susu could understand the reason by just thinking about it carefully, but unfortunately, at this moment, she was jealous and could not make a calm judgment. In her eyes, her sister Zhang Ning had undoubtedly become a hateful woman who seduced her favorite man, and Chen Mo seemed to have transformed into a man who could not resist Zhang Ning's temptation and was fond of the old and old...

It must be like this. That shameless bitch must have seduced Xiao Mo while he was not here, and Xiao Mo...

Zhang Susu, who was thinking randomly, couldn't help but see some things that were not suitable for children in her mind, and her face turned ashen.

This must be the case!

Otherwise, how could Xiao Mo be so rude to himself?

Xiao Mo, Wang Susu is so concerned about your safety and comes day and night, but you are doing some shameless things with that bitch...

How can you do this?

For a moment, Zhang Susu felt both wronged and angry. Although she also understood that Chen Mo was a man after all, and sometimes he could not suppress his heart, but... why must he be that bitch?!

Zhang Susu really couldn't tolerate it.

After all, people are confused by the authorities, unfortunately, Zhang Ning and Chen Mo were vaguely classified as adulterers and tyrannical women by Zhang Susu. It has to be said that people's speculation is sometimes blind.

That shameless bitch!

Shameless bitch!

Bitch!

Bitch, you must die a bad death!

After the entire meeting, Zhang Susu almost completely did not put Chen Mo and the generals in the tent's words in his ears, but kept cursing Zhang Ning with his most vicious words in his heart.

Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Susu with inexplicable eyes.

If it were on weekdays, Zhang Ning would probably not be able to use mind reading to observe Zhang Susu’s inner thoughts, but given that Zhang Susu was jealous and in a mess at this moment, her thoughts were completely seen by Zhang Ning.

But this time, Zhang Ning was not angry. On the contrary, looking at the strong jealousy in Zhang Susu's eyes, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. After all, in the future she saw, Zhang Susu would eventually take away all her precious things. So in this way, wouldn't she take away what Zhang Susu cherishes?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning turned his head and looked at Chen Mo. Looking at Chen Mo with great general style, he told the generals in the tent about the battle situation and future strategic layout to Cao Ren, who was unable to attend the meeting, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Perhaps Zhang Susu's inner thoughts awakened Zhang Ning, so that Zhang Ning even gradually developed some things that he had never thought about in the past.

Seduce...he?

Involuntarily, Zhang Ning felt that his heartbeat was showing signs of speeding up.

To be honest, she had a good impression of Chen Mo from the beginning. After all, Chen Mo was the only open-minded person who didn't care about Zhang Ning's thoughts using mind reading skills. He never had any excessive thoughts about Zhang Ning. Even after learning about Zhang Ning's terrible strength, he did not feel afraid. All of this made Zhang Ning feel very new. After all, in the past twenty years, the people around her may either be afraid of her or malicious to her. How could he have treated her as an ordinary woman, or even a strange woman like Chen Mo?

And more importantly, Chen Mo is the man her hateful sister valued the most...

Looking at Chen Mo and then at Zhang Susu, a thought of revenge came to Zhang Ning's heart.

I have to say that they are the sisters born to each other. Both Zhang Ning and Zhang Susu are obviously not women who are used to swallowing their anger. Well, it is really hard to get along with each other.

Chen Mo obviously did not notice that Zhang Ning and Zhang Susu's sisters were fighting secretly, telling his views on the current situation to the generals in the tent. After all, although Yan Liang was dead, Yuan Shao's million-strong army was about to arrive at the White Horse. Once Yuan Shao arrived, it undoubtedly meant that the White Horse would be lost. Think about it, there were 20,000 Cao soldiers at the White Horse Ferry. Even if Zhang Susu had 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers, it would be only 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers. How could he compete with Yuan Shao's million-strong army?

Chen Mo's only hope at the moment is that Cao Cao could arrive at the White Horse before Yuan Shao arrived. In this way, the White Horse would have about 150,000 troops. Although the troops were still far inferior to Yuan Shao, at least he could do some basic defensive matters and greatly alleviate the embarrassing situation of adjusting the troops left and right to make up for the embarrassing situation.

But unfortunately, just the next day, Yuan Shao had arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River. Of course, only his nephew Gao Gan and his 70,000 or 80,000 troops were accompanied. As for other generals, most of them were still one or two days away from here, including dozens of generals, including General Gao Lan, Generals Lü Weihuang, Lü Kuang, Lü Xiang, Han Meng, Han Juzi, Chunyu Qiong, He Mao, Xin Ming, Su You, Han Xun, Gongsun Du, Yuan Chunqing, Xu Xun, Jiao Chu, Han Yan, Zhang Nan, Xia Zhao and dozens of generals, as well as hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.

As for why Yuan Shao left his generals and many soldiers and marched forward along the Yellow River, it was simply because he received the news that Yan Liang was beheaded.

"Feng Ji, how did I tell you before sending troops?"

Sitting in the head of the Yuan Jun camp tent on the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao stared at Feng Ji with a cold face and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing that bad tone, Feng Ji secretly complained that something was wrong. He quickly stood up from the mat, came to the center of the tent, bowed to Yuan Shao to the ground, and said tremblingly, "You lord, I have reminded General Yan many times, but General Yan refused to obey and insisted on going to the dangerous land and attacking Baima. What can I do if I can?"

"So what can you do? So what can you do!" Yuan Shao slapped his desk heavily when he heard this and said angrily, "He is a general, you join the army and supervised him on my order. If you don't allow him to leave the camp, how dare he resist the order?"

Feng Ji was shocked after hearing this. He raised his head and was about to say something, but he saw Guo Tu, a counselor who followed Yuan Shao, shook his head slightly at him as a sign. He suddenly realized in his heart, kowtowed to the ground, and confessed his guilt.

"I am negligent in my duty, I hope the lord will be punished with great consequences!"

No wonder, if Yan Liang was not at this time, in addition to being suspicious of being killed, it would be like slapping Yuan Shao in the face. After all, before Yan Liang sent troops, Yuan Shao made a bold statement, believing that as long as Yan Liang came forward, Cao's army would be running away. Now, not only did Cao's army not run away, but also killed Yan Liang, who Yuan Shao had placed great hopes. This really made Yuan Shao feel a little embarrassed.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao put the blame for this failure to Feng Ji, because he wanted to prove to others that it was not that Yuan Shao's vision was not good, but that someone had a bad idea, so this failure was caused. It is precisely because of this that Guo Tu, who had always been with Feng Ji, secretly reminded Feng Ji and not to shirk it, so as not to make Yuan Shao furious.

After all, Yuan Shao actually knew Yan Liang's character, and he didn't really want to punish Feng Ji, which was just a rude statement. But on the other hand, if Feng Ji died and refused to admit his guilt, which made Yuan Shao really angry, then he might not just verbally reprimand.

It has to be said that as the lord, Yuan Shao, who pays attention to his own face and cherishes his own wings, is obviously one step worse than Cao Cao. At least Cao Cao would not care about his face so much.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Feng Ji admitted his guilty tactfully, Yuan Shao hummed heavily. At this time, Guo Tu, who had been waiting for the opportunity to interrupt, sat up and bowed, and said in surprise, "Lord, I still can't believe that General Yan Liang will be defeated. Is there any general under Cao Cao's command who can be more brave than General Yan Liang?" It has to be said that Guo Tu is worthy of being a counselor who is good at attacking the hearts. How could he not see that after Feng Ji confessed, Yuan Shao was in an embarrassing period when he didn't know how to punish Feng Ji, and his words were obviously preparing for the rank of step down for Yuan Shao.

Moreover, he said this very cleverly. First, he expressed his recognition of Yan Liang. In other words, he was to compliment Yuan Shao in disguise for his good attitude. Secondly, he pointed the spearhead of this matter at the powerful general who killed Yan Liang under Cao Cao, thereby expelling Feng Ji. In other words, it was not that Yuan Shao had a poor vision, nor that Feng Ji was dereliction of duty as a military officer, but that Cao Cao had a powerful general who was better than Yan Liang.

Sure enough, Guo Tu's words successfully attracted Yuan Shao's attention.

"Who? Who killed my general Yan Liang?"

Seeing Guo Tu's repeated hints with his eyes, Feng Ji woke up and bowed and said, "You are the one who kills General Yan Liang, Chen Fenwei!"

"Chen...Chen Fenwei?" Yuan Shao's face was slightly shocked and asked anxiously, "But the old Yingchuan Yellow Turban, Chen Mo?"

"That's right!" Feng Ji said, "If you don't believe it, you can hear that General Zhang has had a fight with Chen Mo..."

"Jun Yi!" Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Zhang He, but saw Zhang He sitting in the table nodding, clasping his fists and saying in a deep voice, "Report to the lord, everything Mr. Feng said is true. Chen Modu is not simple. He will sneak into Cao's camp at night at that time, but even if he tried his best, he would not be able to take him down..."

"What?" Yuan Shao gasped and asked in surprise when he heard this, "Even you can't take it down? At night?"

Zhang He nodded awkwardly. In fact, after all, that night, he almost forced Chen Mo to a desperate situation. If Zhang Ning had not taken action secretly, dispersed the dark clouds that enveloped the night sky, allowing the moonlight to shine on Cao's camp, and thus causing Zhang He to lose the help of darkness, perhaps Chen Mo would probably have been defeated by Zhang He, but unfortunately, Zhang He obviously did not know about this matter, and just simply believed that the dissipation of the dark clouds was only due to Chen Mo's martial luck.

"What if it was during the day?" Yuan Shao asked with a frown.

Zhang He thought for a while, clasped his fists and said, "If it were during the day, I would probably only have the power to protect myself!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh, looked at the tent for a long time, nodded slightly, and murmured, "It's not your fault for this matter. When I was the Sili Captain in Luoyang in the early years, this person was already famous in the capital. At that time, I led three thousand soldiers to patrol this person from house to house, but there was no news. I was so angry that I and Meng De..." At this point, Yuan Shao's voice stopped abruptly.

Obviously, he thought of the current situation where he and Cao Cao were confronting each other with his young and handsome Cao Cao.

After sighing slightly, Yuan Shao noticed that Feng Ji was still kneeling under the tent, coughing, and saying sternly, "Feng Ji!"

"Here!" Feng Ji Da bowed to the ground.

"Although this big mistake is not entirely up to you, as a member of the army, Yan Liang is not wary of being a dereliction of duty. From today on, you will be removed from your position as a member of the army and deduct your salary for half a year. You will be ordered to temporarily engage in military affairs and make meritorious service! - Are you convinced?"

Feng Ji breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

You should know that if you remove the position of military service and take the position of military service, in other words, Yuan Shao's punishment is just a formality. As for the half-year salary, it is even more painful for Feng Ji. Seeing this, Feng Ji couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Guo Tu for his foresight.

"The lord Mingduan is convinced!"

Seeing Yuan Shao forgive Feng Ji in disguise, Guo Tu felt relieved in his heart. After all, he and Feng Ji belonged to the same clan. If Feng Ji had any mistakes, how could he, Guo Tu, alone, compete with Tian Feng and Ju Su?

It has to be said that the dispute between the factions under Yuan Shao was more intense than the dispute between the poor scholars under Cao Cao's corps and the scholars of aristocratic families.

"stand up!"

"Thank you lord!"

Looking at Feng Ji bowing his hand and then returning to the table, Yuan Shao sat in the main seat and breathed a long sigh and murmured, "I thought I had won all the heroes in the world, but I didn't want to... Meng De, that guy, has been very popular since childhood. Obviously, I am in a similar family background and experiences, but he always has the advantage... But this time, I will not lose again, Meng De!"

As he said that, Yuan Shao slowly stood up, looked back at the tent, and shouted in a deep voice, "Tell me my order, all the soldiers in the camp will go to the mountains and forests to cut wood and build bridges, and wait for the troops and horses from all directions tomorrow and the next day, and once a million troops arrive, they will attack the white horses together!"

The civil servants and generals in the tent stood up after hearing this, bowed their hands and fists.

"yes!"
