In the afternoon, throwing the newly recruited little apprentice in the mansion, Nangong Mo finally took Liu Han to the prisoner camp outside the city. Before they entered the door, Chen Xuan and Yu Aoyang, who had heard the announcement in advance, came up with people. Although Chen Yu is young, his ability is one of the best among the second generation of generals in Youzhou. Yu Aoyang has always been in the middle and lower ranks of the army, but he is bold and righteous, and he also has some prestige among the lower-level soldiers in the Yuezhou Guard. With these two people joining forces, many people have been subdued in just a few days. Even if there are some stubborn ones, they are just struggling to hold on, and they don't hinder the overall situation.

"County Lord." Chen Yu respectfully hugged his fists.

Nangong Mo nodded and smiled: "I've worked hard for you these past few days. ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "The county lord is serious, and it is all a matter of the last general's classification. The officers and men in the army have been screened and registered separately and reorganized. Some of them are already usable, and if the county lord needs anything, he can just tell him. Chen Xuan presented a thick booklet with both hands, Nangong Mo took it and flipped through it, and the names and origins of some soldiers were recorded on it, which were very detailed. Nangong Mo nodded, secretly praising in his heart that he was worthy of being the son of Chen Yu, the first wise general in Youzhou, if he changed Xue Bin or **, it would definitely be a mess, and it would be good to be able to record a name for him.

"Good." Nangong Mo nodded and said, "These people are stationed in Tainingwei who are stationed in Yuezhou, and their military salaries are the same as those of Tainingwei. ”

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "County Lord, the combat power of these people is not at the same level as Taining Wei. I'm afraid it's ......"

Nangong Mo said with a smile: "Now that I don't fight, these people will follow Tai Ningwei together, and let Tai Ningwei's generals help me train some soldiers." I can't, I have so much money to raise tens of thousands of soldiers in vain. We borrowed Tainingwei for a thousand households, and it cost fifty taels of silver a month. ”

Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help but secretly speak, although he was barely considered to be born as a gate, fifty taels of silver was actually nothing. But in terms of the salary of the soldiers in the army, fifty taels is really too much. What's more, the military salary is not counted in the fifty taels, you must know that the annual salary of a first-class member of the imperial court is only five or six hundred taels. They now raise a thousand households of Tainingwei more than the court to raise a first-class official, no wonder the county lord is trying to squeeze the surplus value from the other party.

However, on the other hand, it also shows that the county lord and Wei Gongzi have strong financial resources. Chen Xuan is not as arrogant as Xue Bin and **, he would never believe that the money that is now raising Tainingwei is from the Yanwang Mansion. He still knows a little bit about the situation in Yan Wangfu, even if Yan Wangfu can take out this money and hand over such a powerful army to Wei Gongzi, can the three sons of Yan Wangfu have no opinion at all?

Chen Yu had no opinion, but Yu Aoyang couldn't help but scratch his head and said, "County Lord, that... Are we going to train with Tai Ningwei? ”

When Yu Aoyang knew that the person who helped Gongzi Wei capture Yuezhou City was Taining Wei, who had been good neighbors with them for many years, he could only lie in a big groove in his heart. No matter how much no one is in their eyes, they still know the gap between Yuezhou Wei and Taining Wei, "This... I'm afraid that those of us can't keep up, right? ”

It's still polite to say that you can't keep up with the training, train with Tai Ningwei, and wait to be walked as a dog.

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "I'll only give them a month, if they can't keep up with the training progress... I had to throw them into the boot camp and dig the ground. As for Yu Lu, what do Yu Qianhu understand? ”

Yu Aoyang immediately straightened his back, "The subordinates understand, the subordinates must work hard to spur them!" ”

The dignified Yuezhou guards lost the battle and became a prisoner, and if they were kicked into the recruit camp because they couldn't keep up with the training, it would be really a shame to be thrown to grandma's house. What's more, the new barracks are not at the same level as Tainingwei's military salary. I have to work hard for that money.

Nangong Mo nodded with satisfaction and said, "The county lord knows that Yu Qianhu will not let me down." ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Yu Aoyang looked at the beautiful woman with a smile in front of him, and only felt a chill down his spine. I can't help but think of the situation two years ago when this woman who was a lot younger than me held her neck with a sword. Why do you think that the appearance of the Star City County Lord smiling and moaning now is even more terrifying than it was then?

Nangong Mo stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to the army and have a look." ”

The county chief inspected the barracks, and the two naturally had to accompany them personally. This prisoner camp was originally a military camp of Yuezhou Wei near Yuezhou City, but now it is used as a prisoner camp. All the guards on the periphery of the barracks are armed and armored and murderous Taining Guards, and in the middle are the Yuezhou Guards who have surrendered, and the innermost ones are still holding on to the dead and refusing to bow their heads. Naturally, these people have no freedom, and even their daily diet is much worse than that of people outside. Regarding the deduction of these people's food, Chen Yu said that he was not weak at all. Youzhou Wei has never had a rule not to abuse prisoners, not to mention that he has not abused prisoners. Nowadays, the people in the whole of Yuezhou can't have enough to eat, these people stay in the barracks all day long, and they don't even need training. Anyway, I can't starve to death.

The group walking in the barracks is also very eye-catching. There were no women in the army, and suddenly a stunning woman with such outstanding appearance suddenly came, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. However, these people quickly reacted to the identity of this woman, and their eyes became more complicated for a while.

Nangong Mo looked at the soldiers who saluted him along the way with great interest, and of course he would not ignore the disdainful glances that came over him from time to time.

"Whoosh!" In the distance, a feather arrow broke through the air and shot towards Nangong Mo's side.

"County Lord be careful!" Chen Xuan and Yu Aoyang were both shocked and exclaimed in unison.

Nangong Mo jumped in the air, and actually focused on the feather arrow with his backhand, and then sent the feather arrow back by throwing a hidden weapon. Everyone saw that the feather arrow had not yet touched Nangong Mo's body, so they turned around and shot towards the place where they came. The archers obviously didn't expect this to happen, right

Thinking that there would be such a change, he didn't know how to dodge the feather arrow that was shooting straight at him for a while. It wasn't until the arrow was almost in front of him that he hurriedly retreated and sat down on the ground. Nangong Mo naturally didn't want his life either, and the feather arrow was nailed to the ground between his legs. Looking at the feather arrow nailed to the ground against his thigh, the man's face turned pale with fright.

"Presumptuous! Take it for me! Chen Xuan roared angrily.

Without Chen Yu opening his mouth, two black-clothed guards had already appeared behind the man, and they directly picked him up and threw him in front of the three of them.

Nangong Mo calmly looked down at the person on the ground, but his right hand hanging beside him quietly shook it. I was secretly annoyed in my heart, and I really had to pay the price for pretending to be forced. The action of catching arrows with bare hands looks effortless, but in fact... My hand hurts. The person who dared to shoot arrows at her in such a place would naturally not be a mediocre person, and if she only used a weapon to block it, it might not take much effort. But she caught it with her bare hands and sent it back, even if she had internal force, the arrow still shook her mouth when she first started it. This also proves that this man is indeed a very good archer.

As soon as Yu Aoyang saw the man, his face immediately darkened, and he kicked it over and said angrily: "Bastard, do you want to die?" Dare to shoot arrows at the county lord! ”

The man probably felt that he was going to die, but he didn't care about anything, rolled his eyes and said, "What can you do?" In fact, he didn't really want to kill Nangong Mo, but as a well-known archer in Yuezhou Weizhong, he always had a lot of arrogance. At first glance, when I saw that it was a woman who came to inspect the barracks, I was a little unconvinced. was encouraged by the people around him, and before he could think about it, he had already shot the arrow. When Nangong Mo returned an arrow to him, he came to his senses and knew that he had made a big mistake.

Yu Aoyang choked, he usually had a good relationship with this person, so he persuaded the other party to submit. Originally, I thought that with the other party's ability, even if I couldn't get reused, it would not be worse than the original Yuezhou Weizhong, who knew that I would give him such a moth just after seeing the county lord? Fortunately, Nangong Mo was not injured, otherwise... Just thinking about the consequences, Yu Aoyang couldn't help but sweat. Do these bastards even know they're captives? Is it really okay to be so arrogant?

Thinking of this, Yu Aoyang couldn't help but want to make up for two more feet. Did he go out of his way to harm them? It's not like you're trying to find a way to live. This Star City County Lord didn't know to others, but he had seen it at the beginning. This is not a soft-hearted lady.

Nangong Mo stopped Yu Aoyang with a smile, looked at the archers on the ground with a smile, and asked, "Do you think... Are you good at archery? ”

A hint of arrogance flashed in the archer's eyes, and he acquiesced to Nangong Mo's statement.

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "I admire people who are capable and arrogant, but... But I don't like people who can't see themselves clearly. Come. ”

"County Lord." The two guards who had come with the archer stepped forward. Nangong Mo pointed to the humanity on the ground: "Let this archer see your archery skills." ”

"Yes, County Lord."

The two guards did not pick up their bows and arrows, but one raised his foot and picked up the bow in the archer's hand, and drew an arrow from the quiver of a soldier next to him. Another guard also withdrew his hand and took the bow and arrow handed by one of the soldiers. The two of them fired their bows at the same time and fired an arrow at the sky above their heads, and a bird flying in the sky screamed sharply and fell to the ground. Soon, someone picked up the bird that fell to the ground and sent it back, and Nangong Mo glanced at the person on the ground. The soldier willingly placed the dead bird in his hand in front of the man.

It was an extremely ordinary sparrow, and the only thing that was unusual was that the sparrow had two feathered arrows stuck in its body. Moreover, the two feathered arrows were shot in the same place, the distance was only half an inch, and the body of the arrow was next to the body of the arrow in the deadliest place. The two guards calmly returned their bows and arrows to the people around them, and stood back where they had been, as if they had done nothing.

Nangong Mo looked at the people on the ground and said, "The two of them are not best at archery, what do you think of their archery skills?" ”

The archer was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "It's my mistake, let the county lord punish me." "His archery skills may not be worse than those two guards, but he is obviously not as good as he thinks he is. If any two guards around the Lord of Star City could have such a Cheng dù, and it was said that he was not the best, then he really had nothing to be proud of.

Nangong Mo said indifferently: "Since you have already been submitted, you still dare to shoot arrows at me in public, if I don't punish you, how can I obey the public?" More than 1,000 households, the rod scolded 50 military sticks, in order to set an example. ”

Yu Aoyang was overjoyed, "Thank you, county lord." "Originally, I thought that this guy would definitely die, and the county lord was able to spare his life, and Yu Aoyang was already overjoyed. The archer obviously didn't expect this result, and he couldn't react for a while. Yu Aoyang secretly kicked him and said in a low voice, "Don't thank you yet." ”

"Thank you, Lord of the County, for your kindness." The archer hurriedly said.

Nangong Mo nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away. Leave the rest to Yu Aoyang to deal with. Chen Xuan followed Nangong Mo's side, and said very ashamedly: "The last general is not doing well, please punish the county lord." Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "It is inevitable that there will be arrogant people in the army, nothing." But... This wind cannot last. ”

"Don't worry, the county lord will understand."

Nangong Mo nodded and said lightly: "Let people check, who instigated him." "Dare to shoot arrows at her in public, in addition to being arrogant and brainless, someone must have instigated her. Although that person is a little arrogant, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who doesn't know what to do or hates her because he is a prisoner.

Chen Yu understood, "The county lord can rest assured. ”

"Lord Qiqi, good news!" Outside the camp, a guard hurriedly came and said aloud.

Nangong Mo's heart moved, "Have you captured Chenzhou?" ”

The guard said: "Back to the county lord, the army has captured Chenzhou yesterday, and Gongzi led the march towards Jinzhou, leaving only Gongzi Jian and Captain Xue stationed in Chenzhou. ”

"Sure enough, it's good news." Nangong Mo said with a smile, and the surrounding soldiers naturally heard this

The news was heard as well. I couldn't help but be a little shocked, but thinking about it, it didn't take much trouble for people to capture Yuezhou, and it was naturally not a problem to take Chenzhou, which was half a pound or two taels with Yuezhou.

"Congratulations to the county lord!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

Nangong Mo sighed, "The matter here is still handed over to you, I want to go back." ”

Chen Xuan also knew that the more victorious battles ahead, the busier the Star City County Lord would be. Naturally, he didn't dare to delay his time, and hurriedly said: "The county lord walks slowly, the matter here will be dealt with at the end, and someone will be sent to coordinate with the generals of Tainingwei in a while." "The more territory Wei Gongzi has conquered, the more soldiers and horses they need. But... I really hope that the county lord will not hand over the captives of Chenzhou to her to deal with, but he doesn't want to be a general who professionally manages the captives at all.

Nangong Mo nodded, turned around and left. Back in the city, Qin Zixu and Qu Lianxing had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw them, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that you have also heard the news." ”

Qin Zixu arched his hand and smiled: "Yes, we are only afraid that we will know a little earlier than the county lord." "The battle report was sent to the government at the beginning, but Nangong Mo was not there, so he hurriedly transferred to the prisoner camp. Nangong Mo sat down and asked, "Can the military supplies in the army still be supplied?" ”

Qu Lianxing said with a smile: "The county lord can rest assured that the prince led the army all the way. The first thing to seize is the granary of the government, but we don't need to prepare additional military supplies to send over. But... Chenzhou is still in the future, and Jinzhou is afraid that we will also need to take over. The cost is the big one. ”

Nangong Mo spread his hands and said helplessly: "That's no way, since we want the land, we can't leave the people alone." What is the use of having land without people? ”

Qin Zixu smiled: "The county lord is right, and... If we can help the people of these places through this difficulty, the people of these places will become the most solid backing for the prince and the county lord in the future. Qu Lianxing sighed, "I just want to know if we can survive it." Now the daily silver taels needed by Yuezhou are tens of thousands, plus Chenzhou and Jinzhou, the county lord... Can you and your childe still have enough money? ”

Nangong Mo also had a headache, "There's no problem yet." After all... We've copied a lot of money and food before. ”

"Then Chenzhou and Jinzhou will continue to copy?" Qu Lian Xingdao.

Qin Zixu said: "County Lord, don't you send me to this matter?" I don't want to be scolded by those literati in the back. ”

Nangong Mo's smile was very gentle, "Whoever dares to scold you and let them try the taste of hunger, besides, I believe that Grand Prince Qin has a way to deal with those people." ”

Grand Prince Qin touched his nose and felt that he had thrown himself into the net. Fortunately, I have done it once in Yuezhou before, and it is relatively easy, Chenzhou and Jinzhou... It shouldn't be difficult, right?

Qu Lianxing covered her lips and smiled: "If those people in Jinling know that the eldest prince of the Qin family is going to take people everywhere to raid the house, I don't know what kind of expression it will be?" "No matter what the eldest prince of the Qin family really looks like, at least in Jinling, the eldest prince of Qin is still a noble son of a family with a good demeanor and gentleness. This kind of thing is really not in line with Qin Gongzi's painting style.

Nangong Mo rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Pity Xing, you are also gloating." In the past few days, I am afraid that many people from Chenzhou and Jinzhou will rush over, so that people can prepare soup porridge and a place to temporarily settle refugees. Don't bother too much, they'll be gone soon. ”

Qu Lianxing immediately restrained her smile, nodded and said, "Don't worry, the county lord, I will let people prepare immediately." ”

Nangong Mo nodded, "No matter what, Yuezhou can't mess up now." Chenzhou and Jinzhou should also try their best to settle down. ”

The two of them claimed to be together, Qin Zixu hesitated for a moment, and asked, "County Lord, is there any news to send the war report and Yuezhou back to Youzhou?" ”

Nangong Mowaner smiled, "It's still that Gongzi Qin is thoughtful, but the battle report from Yuezhou was sent back, and I forgot about it during this time, so I sent it back with the news from Chenzhou and Jinzhou." ”

Qin Zixu said with a smile: "The county lord had better ask His Royal Highness King Yan for some money and food. ”

Qu Lianxing said: "Yan Wangfu is only afraid that he won't be able to draw out much food to support us now." ”

Qin Zixu shook his head, "Whether or not to give is a matter for His Royal Highness King Yan, and whether or not he needs His Royal Highness King Yan's help is a matter for the county lord and the prince." As an elder, I always like the younger generation to rely on me. ”

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and smiled: "These things, Qin Gongzi is indeed better than me. Thank you Qin Gongzi for reminding me. ”

Qin Zixu smiled lightly, "It's just a matter of subordination." ”
