Early the next morning, Bao Hongsheng held a meeting.

"I pondered for a night last night, although Chen Junhou was reckless, but his words are not unreasonable, now there are many thieves in Gepi, although our army is elite, but after all, the soldiers are outnumbered, it is not suitable to meet with the thieves, Gepi thieves and thieves have become powerful, eager to go south, as far as we know, there are no less than 40,000 people, although most of them are rabble, but only with more than 1,000 people in our school, it is really difficult to defeat."

Bao Hong looked up at the generals who were a little surprised, and asked him to hang up the map: "I discussed with Chen Junhou all night last night, and now what our army wants to do is not to destroy the thieves, but to establish a firm foothold here first." ”

"Nanton has no danger to defend, not for Yiping, this will be ready to move the army to Xiang County, here surrounded by three waters, easy to defend and difficult to attack, can be the foundation of our army, now whether Xiang County is occupied by thieves is not yet known, so you need to first listen to the reality of Xiang County, if it is not occupied by thieves, it is naturally easy to say, but if it has been occupied by thieves, then the first battle of our army is to go down to this city first!"

The generals looked at the map, Xiang County was surrounded by three rivers, it was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they couldn't help nodding frequently, this general still has some skills.

"In addition, with our army alone, it may be difficult to win, Zhong Yun!"

"The last general!" Zhong Yun took a step forward and bowed.

"You have been contacting the county governments of Runan, Chenguo, Jiujiang, and Qiaojun these days, and you have come to get information from them, at least to know how many cities the Gepi thieves have occupied now, and in addition, each county needs to send troops to cooperate with our army to fight the thieves." Bao Hong took out an arrow and handed it to Zhong Yundao.

"The last general commands!" Zhong Yun took a step forward, took the arrow, and bowed back to the train.

"Yu Sheng!" Bao Hong took out another arrow and looked at the other military Sima Dao.

"The last general!" Yu Sheng took a step forward and bowed.

"You lead the people of the headquarters to explore Xiang County first, if Xiang County has been occupied by thieves, don't act rashly, come to report, if it has not been occupied by thieves, then occupy Xiang County first, and recruit brave people in the city to help defend the city." Bao Hong said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Yu Sheng agreed, stepped forward to take the arrow and returned to the train.

Belch......

When Bao Hong said this, he suddenly felt a little speechless, what should he do next?

"General!" Chen Mo took a step forward, bowed down and said with a smile: "This is a defensive position, although our army will not confront the Ge Pi thief head-on for the time being, but we can't let it rage." ”

"Not bad!" Bao Hong nodded when he heard this, took out a command arrow and said, "Chen Mo listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Chen Mo took a step forward.

"You lead the people of the headquarters, roaming in all directions, one to find out the truth of the Gepi thief, and you can also attack the surrounding Gepi thief, if the thief is overwhelming, then avoid its edge, if the thief is outnumbered, then send troops to attack it!"

"The last general commands!" Chen Mo stepped forward, took the arrow salute, and bowed back.

"The rest of the generals are ready for battle." Bao Hong looked at everyone, only to feel comfortable in his chest, this was the most refreshing time since he became a military captain, and he could clearly feel that the generals looked at him with a little more respect.

"Did you really convince him to change his strategy?" After leaving the tent, Zhong Yun looked at Chen Mo and smiled: "It's just that Bao Hong is also shameless, I think you taught him all these strategies, right?" Even said that it was the two of you who were discussing? ”

"It's not easy to have a credit from me, to make meritorious contributions, there will be opportunities in the future, don't worry too much about the immediate gains and losses, since he did this, he recognized this favor, this is the best result." Chen Mo said with a smile as he walked: "If I really fall out with him, not only will I not be able to win the battle in the end, but I am afraid that the lives of more than a thousand soldiers will have to stay here, this is my first expedition, I don't want to be defeated!" ”

"Although he is thick-skinned, this open-mindedness is difficult for ordinary people to reach!" Zhong Yun said sincerely, although he looks down on Bao Hong, but as Chen Mo said, if the two sides are really deadlocked, and Bao Hong insists on sending troops to fight a decisive battle, I am afraid that no one will get good in the end, I feel that Chen Mo's strategy was finally used by Bao Hong, Chen Mo seems to have suffered a loss, but in fact, the credit is still Chen Mo's share, and if he wins, Bao Hong will also have to accept Chen Mo's favor, and return to Luoyang in the future, which means that Chen Mo has another help.

"It's a bit redundant to have a thick skin, I call it informal!" Chen Mo glanced at Zhong Yun and said.

"It's almost, but even if you have this credit, virtue is not worthy, and it may not be a good thing for that person." Zhong Yun shook his head and smiled.

"That's none of the business for me." Chen Mo said abruptly, this time he is also helping himself by making plans to help Bao Hong, as for the future, he is not Bao Hong's father, so he cares about the other party's future?

My career has just begun, how can I have the energy to care about others?

"It's not difficult for me to travel this time, now the four counties are too afraid that they hate the Ge Pi thief, it is not difficult to send troops and strength, but you are careful, if the Ge Pi thief is really as powerful as you said, this road is not easy to walk, take care of yourself!" Zhong Yun turned over and got on his horse, now that the time is urgent, he has to contact the four counties now, send troops and forces, and help break the enemy.

"You have your own plans." Chen Mo nodded and said with a smile, this task was requested by himself, although it was risky, but wealth and wealth were in danger, not to mention that he still had immortals to help, if he didn't take this opportunity to get more merits, he was a little sorry for the immortals who had been helping him.

"Precious!" Chen Mo nodded, hugged his fist towards Zhong Yun, and left.

Zhong Yun began to arrange people to go to various places to investigate the reality of the Gepi thief, and at the same time contact the counties, Chen Mo ordered all the men and horses, and led his troops to the east.

However, although Xiang County was often harassed, because of the terrain and the fact that Xiang County had some ability, he organized the people to go to the city to assist in the defense, but it was not breached.

After saying goodbye to Yu Sheng, Chen Mo bluntly turned southbound.

Originally, he was going east to Qianjun to investigate, but when he had this idea, Chen Mo found that his luck had dropped a lot, that is to say, there might be a big danger in the direction of Qiaojun, so Chen Mo temporarily changed his mind and went south to the sleeping hill, which is less than a hundred miles away from Ge Pi, in the northeast of Ge Pi, it stands to reason that it should belong to the place where Ge Pi thieves have frequent activities, but when Chen Mo wanted to go here, his luck recovered a lot, although it was not fully recovered, indicating that there was still danger here, but it was less down than in the direction of Qian County.

Of course, although the Gepi thieves started an incident in Gepi, it is located on the front line, and there is also the possibility that the Gepi thieves will move their nest to the east.

In any case, go to the sleeping hill first, and if the rear is really empty, you can also go to Gepi to find out.

……

Bed mound, the hill of the mausoleum, is the burial place of the Shen State mausoleum, the mausoleum is now no longer visible, instead of a plain hill, the mound of the mound is in the north of this hill, the mausoleum of the year, after thousands of years of wind and rain washing, not only has not disappeared, but with the accumulation of soil, gradually become a plain hill, standing here, the situation in the mound city, can be clearly seen.

"There should have been a sentry here not long ago, but it seems to be deserted!" Da Lang came to Chen Mo's side with two personal guards, and pointed to a somewhat collapsed arrow tower not far away.

"Standing here, the sleeping hill is almost private, and the person who set up the sentry has some skills, but unfortunately, he has not been able to carry it out, otherwise it will not be easy for you and me to go up this hill today without being discovered." Chen Mo pointed to the northern part of the hill and said with a smile.

It has entered the depths of winter, everything is withering, and on the bare hills, it is not easy to hide the tracks.

"If we want to attack the city, I'm afraid we won't have enough people." Da Lang frowned.

Two hundred men and horses, it is okay to attack in the field, but it is not easy to attack the city, first, there is no siege equipment, and secondly, this little manpower is not enough to storm a city, even if it is not a big city, only a few hundred people can defend them to death.

"Bao Geng has already brought people to inquire about the news in disguise, but I don't think there are many guards in this city." Chen Mo looked at the city carefully, and he didn't say anything, the specific situation, Bao Geng still needs to come back to make a decision.

Soon, Bao Geng came back with a few people, and went straight to Chen Mo's side and said, "Junhou, the four gates of the city are closed, and we can't enter at all." ”

"How many defenders are there on the walls?" Chen Mo asked.

"It's not too much, thank you above the city gate, and in other places, I only saw one or two people after more than ten steps." Bao Geng shook his head and said.

"Is there an army of Gepi thieves around?" Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, and asked.

"I didn't find it, the surrounding farms are empty." Bao Geng shook his head and said.

"Empty?" Chen Mo frowned, looked at Dormitory Hill City, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe go down to this city!" ”

"Junhou, no matter how few people there are, the four gates are closed, and it is impossible for me to attack the city with this little manpower!" Bao Geng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded.

Two hundred men will want to attack the city, unless both hundred men have wings.

"Then let the thieves in the city come out." Chen Mo groped his chin and smiled.

"The marquis has a clever plan?" Bao Geng's eyes lit up, if he could lure out the thief army in the city, it was not impossible.

"Nope." Chen Mo shook his head, he just had an idea, but how to lead the other party, Chen Mo hadn't figured out a way yet, but at least there was a direction.

Bao Geng was a little speechless when he heard this: "Then ...... now"

"Bury the pot to make food, go to the south of the mountain to camp, this sleeping hill is a yin land, it is not a good place, the two arrow towers over there are repaired, let people take turns at night, be careful of thieves approaching." Chen Mo pointed to the abandoned arrow corridor.

"Humble command!" Bao Geng agreed, and then hesitated a little and said: "Junhou, we don't have much grain and grass in our army, why don't we go back to Xiang County to get grain and grass first?" ”

"No, tomorrow I will let everyone into the city, and then they will have their own food." Chen Mo shook his head, this city is not big, there should be a way to break the city, otherwise it will be a bit of a loss to run away like this.

"Whoa!"
