In the first year of heaven, on the evening of March 13.

After dinner, Tang Hong called all the officers to the command post, pointed to the map on the wall, explained in detail, and arranged tactics.

Chen Mu attended the meeting as an observer, sat in an inconspicuous place, listened carefully, and remembered every Liang Jun's hiding place.

This battle is divided into two steps, the first step is to sneak up on the enemy camp and then lure the enemy troops out; The second step is to ambush the enemy in the valley of horsehair.

At this point, Kong Xiaoxian was the first to stand up and said that he would take on the task of sneaking up on the enemy camp this time.

Tang Hong said a few polite words to Kong Xiaoxian, and said that I have already arranged this task for Chen Mu, so don't go.

But Kong Xiaoxian said that he would not say anything. He also said that he was Chen Mu's captain, and he should lead by example and set an example bravely, at a critical moment, how could he let a seventeen-year-old child rush forward, in case there was a mistake, it would affect the entire Third Brigade, and it would be too late to regret it.

Kong Xiaoxian took the lead, and Tang Hong didn't want to tear his face with him because of this matter, so he reluctantly agreed.

Before it was dark, Kong Xiaoxian broke out with the Seventh Regiment, and by the way, he borrowed 300 soldiers from Tang Hong, and now his total number of soldiers is no more than 500.

The soldiers swaggered to the west, not worried about being discovered by the scouts, and Kong Xiaoxian also said that it would be better if they were discovered by the enemy, so that they would break out more soldiers and lead them to the valley of horsehair, so that there could be a large battle of annihilation.

——

It's always nice to design a tactic, but when it comes to execution, it's a different story entirely.

Chen Mu said to Zhang Cripple and Zhang Han, if the fight starts in a while, you two don't rush forward like fools, just stare at the cold arrow for me.

The two of them said yes.

In fact, Chen Mu is not very worried about the cripple, because the lame man is clever, he has fought for so many years, if he was a stunned young man, he would have been left on the battlefield a long time ago. And Zhang Han is different, this kid is when he rushes and fights in the hope of creating military merits, and he rushes into the battle group as soon as his brain is hot, and he can't get out of it.

Chen Mu was also wandering around the barracks when he was fine, and found that the number of people who practiced qi was probably less than one-tenth. And a person like Zhang Han, who practices the three grades of qi, has already become a captain in other teams.

The main reason why Zhang Han can't be a lieutenant is that this person is too upright and can't say a word. is the so-called good man out of his mouth, and he is the opposite, he will only work with his head bored, but he will not move around the relationship. In Chen Mu's view, he is like a technician who is self-assured of his talents, except for people with higher skills than him in this field, he is not convinced, thinking that he can eat all over the world with his professional skills. As everyone knows, there are really few people who can mix up with upper-class people in this way.

"Chen Mu, how is the horse riding now?" Kong Xiao first looked into the distance and said.

"Okay, won't fall unless you're hurt." Chen Mu said in a light tone.

Kong Xiaoxian smiled: "This time I have to lead troops to break into the enemy camp, what do you think I think?" ”

Chen Mu thought for a while: "I can't guess." ”

Kong Xiaoxian may not have expected Chen Mu to guess at all, as soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, he immediately said: "The third division was defeated, Zhonglang seriously injured Tang Song, and his subordinates desperately protected him and ran back, but when he ran back to the camp, he only brought back a corpse. ”

Chen Mu listened carefully and did not speak.

Kong Xiao asked first: "Do you know how many kinds of combat power Tang Song is?" ”

"I don't know."

Kong Xiaoxian sneered: "Seven pins." The seven-rank general, in front of the Hun Da Dan Yu Menghedan, was cut down in less than ten rounds. Now Tang Hong swears that he wants to be the general of the third division, and he is also worthy? I really don't know who gave him the courage to come up with this way to go out of the city to fight. I see that he has eaten too much lard and has been blindfolded. Today, let's bring our troops out, just lead the enemy into the valley, if we can win at that time, it is naturally easy to say, if we lose, we will turn around and run, we don't have to die here. When I returned to the capital Luoyang, I would like to sue him that Tang Hong rashly sent troops, which led to defeat. ”

After saying this, Kong Xiao pulled the reins of his horse first and ran to the front of the team.

Chen Mu did not follow.

Zhang lame pulled the reins of the horse and said to Chen Mu: "I said Xiao Chen, Captain Kong Du is pointing at you." ”

"I hear it." Chen Mu smiled: "But I think Tang Hong can win." As long as Tang Hong wins, I don't have to care about Kong Xiaoxian. It's like the allegiance of the other day. ”

The cripple frowned: "But you jump around like this, and you don't have a master in the end, don't you want people to think that you are unreliable?" ”

Chen Mu asked rhetorically: "What is reliable?" Do you think the 'faithfulness' thing is reliable? ”

The cripple shook his head.

Chen Mu sighed: "I have to say that some people are still loyal, but there are really very few, and I don't expect such people to appear by my side." I divide loyalty into several types, loyalty because of filial piety, loyalty because of interests, and loyalty because of education, which is also the most common loyalty in the army. This is also why all the gates, including the royal family, want to 'protect' the families of the generals stationed abroad in Luoyang City, to put it bluntly, this is a kind of house arrest. It is used to blackmail generals stationed abroad to make them more loyal. At this point, in fact, the gate valves are more desperate than the royal family, and all the generals have to leave their families in a square city, and once there is a problem, they will not even have a chance to run. ”

Zhang Han, who rarely spoke, suddenly asked: "Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan are righteous, so far Guan and Zhang have been loyal to Liu Bei for a lifetime, how can they explain this?" ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly, and wanted to say: It was all used by the emperor to deliberately create gods and educate the people.

But these words can't be said to Zhang Han, because Zhang Han has long been imprisoned by Zhongjun's thoughts, and breaking these things up will make him feel that Chen Mu's character is too bad, so Chen Mu smiled and said: "I also said just now, some people are still loyal, this kind of person is less than one in a hundred, I really envy Liu Xuande, can be related to Zhang Zhao Zhuge and a group of loyal people." Especially that Guan Gong, he is a model for future generations. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Han smiled: "I knew that you were the same as me, and you also admired Guan Gong." ”

Chen Mu was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "Of course, I worship it very much." ”

Zhang Han smiled even more happily.

Chen Mu glanced at Zhang Han deeply.

In fact, Chen Mu hates people who open their mouths to be righteous, and he feels that people who often talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality are often the most despicable personalities. But Zhang Han is different, this person is stubborn from the bottom of his bones.

Such people may not be very intelligent, but they are not too bad and relatively reliable.

It was getting darker and darker, and the afterglow of the sun stubbornly persevered for a while, as if falling into a cliff, and suddenly disappeared.

The team had also approached the enemy's camp.

Kong Xiaoxian ordered everyone to prepare for battle.

At this moment, drums suddenly beat in the enemy camp.

The enemy actually took the initiative to kill.

Kong Xiaoxian turned his head to look back, and was shocked to find that the road he came from was also blocked.

"It's broken, we're surrounded!"
