Compared with Cao Cao who was busy attacking the city, Chen Mo was relatively relaxed here. Looking at Chen Mo and Cao Cao, you will find that they are very similar in some places, but they are completely different in other places.

Both have great courage and thirst for talents, but Chen Mo is more confident than Cao Cao. This confidence can be reflected in the employment of people. Cao Cao is more cautious, or suspicious, and cannot completely let go, but Chen Mo is more willing to let go.

Chen Mo asked himself that he couldn't use his hands and feet to employ people without doubting others, but he was confident that he could control the overall situation. No matter what went wrong, he would have the ability to remedy it in time.

This is reflected in the fact that in a state of war, Cao Cao would go out of his way to do everything. He would not only do everything personally, but also have a general understanding and not let things go beyond his control.

But Chen Mo was able to let go. For example, after the defense outside the city was roughly set up, Gao Shun and others were handling the specific matters. Within Yecheng, he left the defense of the city to Zhang Ji and the chores inside the city to Yang Xiu.

The inspection of the city was left to Wang Biao, and everything was in order. As for how to fight, unless there was a battle between the two armies or a certain place was captured by the enemy, Chen Mo would solve the problem.

Under normal circumstances, if there are any omissions, Chen Mo can verify them in time.

If you say that Cao Cao is not as good as Chen Mo, that is a bit biased. It depends on the aspect. There are some things that Chen Mo has not experienced, but Cao Cao has. Chen Mo's confidence comes from his youth and his ability. He believes that he can solve no matter how big the problem is.

Solve it, but it can't be solved. He is still young and can make up for the gap. Cao Cao's vigilance and suspicion stem from the betrayals he has experienced in the past, as well as his declining body.

Chen Mo is now in his prime, while Cao Cao is already over 40 years old. In this era, he has entered the ranks of old age. Both his energy and physical strength have declined seriously, but he still has too many things to do, leaving him time and time to make mistakes.

There are not many opportunities left, but there is still a formidable enemy like Chen Mo in the world.

It was late at night and everyone had retired to rest, but Cao Cao had no intention of sleeping. He walked outside the tent and looked at the dark sky with a faint look.

"What are you thinking about, my lord?" Guo Jia came to Cao Cao carrying the wine bottle and asked with a smile.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Cao Cao turned around, looked at Guo Jia and smiled.

"I don't want to fall asleep." Guo Jia casually found a place to sit down, his movements a little stiff.

"Fengxiao is also worried about Yecheng?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yes." Guo Jia nodded and said, "The retreat that was said in the tent before was not all a frame of mind. Xu You, Chen Mo... is not afraid of the Lord's jokes. Jia has never been like this in his life.

At this time of uncertainty, Jia was not fully confident whether he could capture the city of Ye.

Chen Mo now has the advantage of the geographical location. If he only defends the isolated city, I am not too worried. It is not difficult to trap a city, even Yecheng. The most important thing is the people's hearts. If he retreats to Yecheng, the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng will be in trouble.

He would have thoughts of losing to our army, but it seems that he never thought about just defending the city from the beginning, but wanted to defeat our army. In his eyes, Ye City may be nothing more than a stronger military camp."

Meeting such an opponent gave Guo Jia a headache.

"He used to be so headstrong and self-righteous." Cao Cao snorted and cursed in the direction of Yecheng, as if Chen Mo was right in front of him.

"He has the qualifications." Guo Jia took a sip of wine and sighed: "My lord, Jia originally thought that with Jia here, one day he could help my lord defeat Chen Mo, dominate the north, and then regain the world."

"That's natural." Cao Cao heard something, his face darkened, and then he smiled casually: "Fengxiao is younger than me, not much different from Chen Mo. Cao Cao is still thinking about when I will die. If Chen Mo is still here,

, leaving you to assist Zixiu."

As Cao Cao's successor, there is basically no doubt about this. Regardless of ability or virtue, Cao Ang is basically regarded by Cao Cao as the best successor.

Guo Jia didn't answer when he heard this. He just raised his head and took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Where's Zhu Jia?"

"Only you, no one else can." Cao Cao turned his head and glared at Guo Jiadao.

"My lord, as a king, you must be cautious." Guo Jia leaned back and said, "The doctor said..."

"Why should you care about the words of a quack doctor and filial piety? I have ordered people to find Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji. Even if they are tied up, they will be kidnapped!" Cao Cao snorted coldly. It was the words of the quack doctor that made Guo Jia seem to see through life and death.

generally.

"Alas~" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao helplessly, feeling both moved and helpless: "Let's talk about Yecheng."

Cao Cao nodded and remained silent.

Guo Jia took a branch and sketched the general location of Yecheng and its surroundings on the ground. Under the flickering firelight, it was not very clear, but the general location had been sketched.

Guo Jia thought for a while and nodded around: "Since Chen Mo doesn't want to stick to Ye City, but wants to defend the enemy outside the city, with the current fighting style, the opponent's cavalry will come and go like the wind, which is quite troublesome and time-consuming.

As time goes by, it would be better to gather our forces and attack one point."

"In this case, wouldn't it be..." Cao Cao was suddenly startled and did not say any more, looking at Guo Jia.

"Fighting outside the city is much easier than attacking the city, and with Yuan Shang on his side, Chen Mo will definitely not dare to use all his strength, but our army can. In this case, Chen Mo has only two choices, retreat to Ye

City, or take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with our army." Guo Jia nodded at the plain east of Ye City and said with a smile: "It goes without saying that we will leave the city for a decisive battle, but if he retreats to Ye City..."

"Then Yecheng will be trapped. No matter how much food and grass there is in Yecheng, it will eventually be used up. The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for our army!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"That's right." Guo Jia put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "But judging from Chen Mo's past behavior, most likely he will not choose to retreat to Yecheng. When the time comes, he will lure him out of the city and then notify Yuan Shang. Jia thinks that Yuan Shang will not miss this opportunity.

"

This change of occupation is unpredictable, and taking the advantage may not lead to the last laugh. Just like Cao Cao first took the plain and took the advantage, but in the end, Chen Mo took Ye City and fell into passivity. But now, Cao Cao,

When Chen Mo fought, it seemed that Yuan Shang might be the winner in the end, but from the perspective of both Cao Cao and Guo Jia, Yecheng was far more advantageous in the hands of Yuan Shang than in the hands of Chen Mo.

As for the situation after Yuan Shang takes Ye City, we can only know it when the time comes. Maybe he will join forces with Chen Mo by then. At that time, everyone will rely on their abilities to see who can take Ye City first.

"Let's follow the filial piety plan and let's see how that little shit man responds this time." Cao Cao laughed.

A scumbag?

Guo Jia looked to the west and sighed. People in the world often use this to belittle Chen Mo, but looking at Guanzhong's harvest in the past few years, Cao Cao is now scolding and letting others learn the manure technique for his own use. Only those

Ignorant people cling to this point all day long.

"Sometimes, Jia is thinking about what would have happened when Chen Mo came to look for the family teacher's letters and Jia had not avoided seeing them?" Guo Jia suddenly laughed.

"Then..." Cao Cao thought for a while, Chen Mo was enough to give him a headache, and Guo Jia said something next to him. He turned to look at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Then I'll just tie myself up and go to that dung man."

That is, with the relationship between the two of us, we can get along with each other again."

"Maybe it's a blessing for the world." Guo Jia smiled when he heard this.

"Hey, when we parted at Hulao Pass, I sincerely invited him, but he refused." Cao Cao laughed and scolded: "If he surrenders to me, wouldn't it be the same?"

"So, there are too many heroes in the world, which may not be a good thing for the people." Guo Jia sighed: "Moreover, my lord and Marquis Changling may not be able to get along well."

Chen Mo and Cao Cao have some ideological differences, or Chen Mo and Cao Cao are both a little extreme, such as the Yecheng massacre. Guo Jia believes that Chen Mo must have his own ideas when doing this, but it is too extreme and too radical.

The consequences will be great, and the benefits will be many, but even if Chen Mo captures Jizhou this time, he may be locked in Jizhou without being able to take care of him for a long time in the future.

"Who knows, there are so many possibilities in this world. Cao Cao believes that the current situation is the best." Cao Cao stood up and laughed loudly: "This time, I must teach that scumbag a lesson."

…

"Sneeze~" Chen Mo, who had just finished having sex in Yecheng and was sleeping soundly with his beautiful lady in his arms, sneezed for no reason.

"Did you catch the cold, husband?" Zhen Mi stood up with some worry and let the silk quilt slip off her body. As time passed, her shyness disappeared, and now she was more concerned about Chen Mo's body.

"If you have nothing to do, don't get up." Chen Mo pulled the limp Zhen Mi back: "It's probably cold. I'll ask someone to make a fireplace another day. The room will be much warmer. Go to bed early."

Compared to Cao Cao's busyness and headaches, Chen Mo is relaxed and contented these days. All the big and small matters are assigned to him, and he only needs to control the overall situation. He never worries about things that he shouldn't worry about, and his life is quite regular.

She wakes up every morning to work hard, goes to the government office in the morning to handle official duties, and returns to her home in the afternoon to chat with beauties and write poems. She never goes to bed later than midnight. There is no reason to catch the cold and just sneeze. This woman is too much.

What a fuss.

"Go to bed early." Chen Mo pulled the woman into his arms, hugged her tighter, and pulled the quilt back on again: "This makes it easier to get cold. How could my body be infected with wind and cold so easily? Sleep peacefully and come into my presence.

In your arms, it will be warmer."

"Hmm~" Zhen Mi obediently chose a comfortable position and shrank into Chen Mo's arms, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Chen Mo couldn't sleep, and his pajamas seemed to have been wiped out by this sneeze.

Tsk~

It's a little uncomfortable. After all, it's almost time for Brother Meng De to choose a decisive battle, right? It's just that Yuan Shang's side... defeated Cao Cao first, and Yuan Shang was easier to deal with.

Thinking about the current situation, Chen Mo closed his eyes again. At the worst, he would hand over Yecheng to Yuan Shang first, and then fight back after Cao Cao was dealt with. Anyway, almost all the food and grass in the city had been transported out, and the rest was up to the enemy.
