Five days.
Scouts constantly reported the situation of the various armies.
Chen Mu was alone in the midst of an army of ten thousand soldiers. Not a single soldier in the army was his subordinate, but he still wielded power and was fearless.?
Ten days.
The army of the three cities returned with resentment.
They called for battle for several days, but not a single person from the Yellow Turban Army came out. The resentment in their hearts soared to the nine heavens.
In the commander's tent.
Chen Mu flipped through the secret report from Bing Province.?
Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, Lu Bu and others lived in the hall.
When Guan Yu saw that Chen Mu was not paying any attention to him, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He could not help but ask,""Marquis Zhenbei, aren't you going to ask about the situation of our troops and formulate a military strategy?”
"No need!"
Chen Mu took a sip of hot tea and said calmly,""The three cities haven't even engaged in battle yet, so there's no need to ask about the situation. As for the marching strategy, there's still five days, so there's no hurry!”
"Why wait five days?" Huangfu Song asked curiously.”
"Haha!"
Chen Mu shook his head and did not say another word.?
Everyone's heart sank. Even though they were confident that they could break through the city, Chen Mu's performance was too calm.?
Four days had passed.
A group of iron cavalry came from Shangdang.
Li Wei entered the commander's tent and respectfully said,"My Lord, Zhao Zhong's nine clans have arrived!"”
"How is it?"
When Chen Mu raised his head, the murderous intent in his eyes raged, causing everyone in the commander's tent to shiver.?
Even first-rate generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt their bodies trembling and their hearts filled with fear.
" I interrogated him for an entire night, but Zhao Zhong only revealed two words. Song family!" Li Wei said in a deep voice.”
Chen Mu's face darkened. He looked at Huangfu Song and said,""General Huangfu, is there a top clan in the Great Han Dynasty with the surname Song?”
"No!"
Huangfu Song shook his head and said,"At least there isn't such a clan now. However, ten years ago, the top-notch Song clan did have one, which was even stronger than the current He clan!”
"Who is it?" Chen Mu asked coldly.
Huangfu Song took a deep breath and sighed." I can't say for sure, but the Marquis of Zhenbei should have heard of the curse of witchcraft!”
"It's her?"
"No, she's already dead!"
Chen Mu's pupils constricted. He knew that Huangfu Song was referring to Liu Hong's first empress, Empress Song. However, she was already dead, and she had died before the expedition. How could she possibly be the mastermind behind all this??
Huangfu Song shook his head and said," I don't know. Anyway, in the past two hundred years, there was only one family with the surname Song who could use Zhao Zhong!”
"Continue the interrogation!"
Chen Mu took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Wei.?
"He couldn't withstand the punishment and committed suicide by biting his tongue!" Li Wei said bitterly.”
A hint of hatred flashed across Chen Mu's eyes as he said angrily,""Keep the Zhao Clan and the other nine clans alive. Let them kneel in front of the Heroic Spirit Stele every day to atone for their sins. If one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. If one person suffers, the entire clan will suffer. I want the heroic spirits buried in the grasslands to see that we have already begun our revenge!”
"Here!"
Li Wei shouted.
"General Huangfu!" Chen Mu shouted.?
"Yes!"
Huangfu Song shouted with a stern expression.
"I want you to lead 1,000 warships, 20,000 soldiers, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. We must take down Guangzong at midnight tonight!”Chen Mu's eyes were filled with a murderous aura.?
"Here!" Huangfu Song, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei replied.
"General Zhu!" Chen Mu looked at Zhu Rong.
"Yes!"
Zhu Rong hurriedly stood up and shouted.
"I want you to lead 1,000 warships, 10,000 soldiers, Cao Cao, and Gongsun Zan as generals. You must take down Quzhou tonight at midnight. If you fail, I will remove your position as the Right Commander!”Chen Mu said in a deep voice.?
"Here!" Zhu Rong replied.
"Fengxian, send someone to inform Cao Cao that Gongsun Zan will break through the dam and break through the three cities tonight. Then, he will head to Quzhou to meet up with Zhu Rong. We will also set off at midnight to take down Julu!”Chen Mu said indifferently.?
"Here!"
Lu Bu shouted.
Chen Mu's gaze fell on the crowd and he said in a deep voice,""After this battle, I will lead the army back to Bingzhou. Lu Zhi will report the details of this battle. Everyone's achievements will also be summarized by him and presented to Luoyang. This time, I will be the temporary commander.”
"Here!"
Huangfu Song, Zhu Wei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei shouted.
They left the commander's tent.
Huangfu Song looked at the commander's tent with a complicated expression. He finally knew what Chen Mu was waiting for.?
" General Huangfu," Zhang Fei said with a blank expression," you all said that he was an old general with a reputation in the court. Why did he listen to him? And why did he hand over his achievements to Teacher Lu?"”
"Because he has already gotten what he wanted!" Huangfu Song said with a complicated expression.”
"What?" asked Guan Yu.
"Zhao Zhong!"
" He's a Minister of Justice who has power in the court," Huangfu Song said in a deep voice." This person might be involved in the failure of the expedition army back then and the reason why the vanguard army did not receive reinforcements for many years!”
"Expedition?" Guan Yu asked curiously.
"All of you are outside the court, so you don't know about Chen Mu's past. All you know is that he was already conferred the title of Marquis at such a young age!”
"However, do you know that he led hundreds of people to fight in the grasslands for seven years and brought back the heads of the Xianbei King Tan Shihuai and Ke Bineng? The reason why the three of us trusted him was because he was really stronger than us. Otherwise, why do you think the descendants of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would listen to him so much?”Huangfu Song smiled bitterly.
"Hiss!"
Zhang Fei's pupils constricted.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with admiration,""I was wrong. A man should be like the Northguard Marquis!”
