Chapter 0019: Situation
Times are changing, but people's hearts never seem to change.
When he came to ancient times, he was only uncomfortable with changes in his living habits, but in the face of various situations, Chen Mu did not feel strange. Because all kinds of situations are nothing more than the embodiment of people's hearts.
Responding to the situation, solving the situation, creating the situation, following the situation, and escaping the situation, this has always been what Chen Mu is most familiar with.
In this regard, he is handy.
In the past, he had a few friends, and when they were together, they could create all kinds of situations, whether it was a business bureau, an officialdom bureau, or a women's bureau, eighty percent of them would succeed.
Some of those who have been scammed are not even aware that this is a game.
What's more, even though he has suffered a loss, he still finds reasons for himself, but he does not blame those who set up a situation for him/her.
And every situation is nothing more than the control of people's hearts, and it can even be said to be "playing".
The poor are easy to deceive, but Chen Mu disdains to attack the poor. The bureaus he sets up are often at a higher level. Comparatively speaking, it is also a little harder to deceive. Because high-level people may not have good character, but their minds will always be relatively flexible.
Only the cooperation of a group of people who are transparent can control the situation perfectly.
Such people may not have a high degree of education, but they must be masters of business and love. Because of the shopping mall and the love field, the routines and "weapons" used are basically the same.
And the love scene is just a practice of beating rabbits in the mall. It's just a matter of whether he's willing to do it. Chen Mu is a person with a bit of conscience, and after he got married, he didn't mess around anymore until his wife died in a car accident.
——
As had been guessed in advance, the first round of the enemy's attack was fierce, resilient and long-lasting.
But it's like a regurgitant wave, with only one charge.
After surviving the first charge, everything became dull.
Seeing that the defense of Jiuquan City was not slackened and there was no good chance of breaking through, the enemy retreated like a low tide.
Looking at the speed and rhythm of their retreat, it is obvious that they have been arranged in advance.
This is a planned retreat, not a defeat.
Later, Arlando's troops camped outside the four gates of Jiuquan City, and the position he chose was just where the Liang army's heavy crossbows could not shoot. He arranged it in this way, completely cutting off the grain and water channels of the Liang army.
Fortunately, there are several springs in Jiuquan City, and there is water all year round, which can ensure the drinking of Liang Jun in the city. When the city was built here, it was also because of the close relationship between these springs.
Water is more important than food.
Counting the time, the enemy attack lasted only half an hour.
Zhang Han was a little discouraged, because just now Chen Mu predicted that this round of enemy attacks would last for at least two hours. Zhang Han didn't want to see Chen Mu's miscalculation.
At this time, Chen Mu smiled at Zhang Han.
Obviously, Chen Mu deliberately said that the time was longer. Because Zhang Han was too anxious, Chen Mu was worried that he would not be able to hold his breath.
Even if they "didn't" find the opportunity to kill the Kong brothers, they couldn't go up to help them. This is a matter of principle. Tang Hongke has been standing on the lookout and watching, all of which he has seen.
Just now, when the enemy army was charging the most fiercely, the city head of the city was loyal and shouted at Chen Mu, hoping that Chen Mu would go up to help.
Chen Mu refused to go up on the grounds that the city was crowded, and said: If you insist on insisting, it really won't work, let's go up again.
Hearing Chen Mu say this, Kong Xiaoxian seemed to sense something, and pulled Dian's allegiance, so that Dian's allegiance didn't have to call Chen Mu again.
Obviously, Kong Xiaoxian is more transparent than Dian's allegiance. Some things have been seen through by him.
"The enemy has retreated, we can go back and resume our lives." Chen Mu said in a light tone.
"But we didn't finish the task." Zhang lame frowned.
"Huh."
Chen Mu smiled and walked back with his hands behind his back. Look at him walking with his hands behind his back, his steps are steady, and he does not look like a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
Zhang lame caught up: "Let's go back like this, Tang Hong must be unhappy." If he throws a hard shot at you, how are you going to respond? ”
Chen Mu smiled: "If he Tang Hong is a person who can't hold his breath, then I don't need to mess with him in the future." ”
Zhang lame sighed: "If you don't mess with him, who are you messing with?" We have been standing below this time, and if we don't go up to help Kong Xiaoxian, the number of people in the Seventh Regiment has plummeted to one hundred. Kong Xiaoxian has already sensed that something is wrong, I think he hates you. Now that you say you don't follow Tang Hong, you can't go back to Kong Xiaoxian's side, didn't you dig a pit for yourself and jump in? ”
Chen Mu laughed: "Lao Zhang, don't worry about it. I don't know if you've heard of "Tai Chi", some things are just like playing Tai Chi, you can't rush it. Often the long flow of water is more smooth, and rushing to achieve results is a mess. I can tell you clearly that Tang Hong will not turn against me, if I misread him, I also have a way back. I didn't help Kong Xiaoxian this time, but I didn't kill Kong Xiaoxian either. I can tell Kong Xiaoxian about this, and I think Kong Xiaoxian will be grateful to me. Of course, I wouldn't do that until the last step. ”
Zhang lame smiled: "When I was your age, I knew how to please the chief all day long, but I didn't know how to play with the chief." But I didn't have the power you had at the time, so I wasn't qualified to think about that. ”
Chen Mu patted the lame man on the shoulder.
Chen Mu pulled the team of 100 people back to the captain's command post, and Tang Hong was sitting in the room drinking tea.
Tang Hong didn't stretch out his hand in this battle, he kept standing on the lookout platform, and never came down from beginning to end.
Seeing Chen Mu come in, he motioned for Chen Mu to sit down.
Chen Mu didn't move.
Tang Hong held the teacup in his hand, but his eyes looked outside: "Why don't you do it?" ”
Chen Mu handed over the "Hundred People Order" in his arms: "I couldn't find the time to start." ”
"I said it all, we're going to win." Tang Hong put down the teacup: "The reason why I wanted to lead the troops out to fight an ambush last time was that I just wanted to make a military contribution." But I was wrong, Arandor was more clever than I thought. Although we lost more than 300 men that time, we still have nearly 900 men. With Jiuquan's city defense, it is definitely not a problem to hold on for a month. I asked you to kill Kong Xiaoxian now, I think it's the best time. But you seem to be hesitating all the time. I wonder what you're hesitating about. ”
Chen Mu had already prepared a countermeasure and lied: "I don't know if my combat strength is enough to defeat Kong Xiaoxian, Kong Xiaodong, and Dian Zhong. If I fail to kill them, but instead expose Captain Tang's intentions, this will inevitably lead to the intensification of the conflict between you and the Kong family. It's bad for you. ”
Tang Hong stood up and stretched out his hand: "I am the combat power of the sixth grade, come, let's hold hands." ”
Chen Mu did not seize the opportunity to kill the Kong brothers, which would inevitably cause Tang Hong's dissatisfaction, but Tang Hong endured it and did not lose his temper.
Now Tang Hong asked to hold hands again, in fact, he was giving Chen Mu one last chance.
The hand-holding is a contest to see what kind of combat power Chen Mu is.
If Chen Mu loses, Chen Mu's status in Tang Hong's heart will plummet.
On the contrary, if Chen Mu wins, Tang Hong will keep Chen Mu by his side. After all, Chen Mu was only seventeen years old, and if he had the same combat power as Tang Hong at this age, it was still worth cultivating. Even with the Tang Clan's gate valve with a huge amount of money, there are very few people who can reach the sixth-grade combat power at the age of seventeen. In this generation, except for Tang Zhen, the new gate lord, no one else can do it. What's even more shocking is that Tang Zhen, who just turned 20 years old last year, broke through the eighth-grade combat power again. He is now the hottest heir to the Tang Clan.
It's a pity that Tang Zhen is the youngest son of the patriarch Tang Qiong, not the son of Tang Ning, the second master of the Tang family, and there is a relationship between him and Tang Hong.
Tang Qiong, an old thing, can still give birth to a son at the age of fifty, and he is also a genius, which is really infuriating.
