Lord, why do you want to keep him? After Hu Cai left, Dian Wei was a little puzzled: "Look at this Hu Cai, he doesn't look like a capable character." ”

"Ninety percent of the people in this world have no ability, if I only pick people with ability, it is to take the world's talents, I'm afraid that a state can't be filled, and that Hu Cai is literate and can lead soldiers, so he has more than eight adults, and it is more than enough to be a captain." Chen Mo said with a smile while arranging things.

And after this incident, Hu Cai and those gentry in Hedong completely tore their faces and brought them back to Hedong, and it was impossible to join forces with those people again, but they were more at ease than others.

"You and Li Le are willing to give up places like Jinyang, Yuci, and Yangyi to Yang Feng?" In the afternoon, Chen Mo finished dealing with the affairs of Zhongdu and called Hu Cai to study the map of Taiyuan County, which is the best location in Taiyuan County, with fertile land and convenient transportation.

Hu Cai said a little depressed when he heard this: "The lord doesn't know, the last time he fought in Yang County, the general suffered heavy losses, and now these soldiers and horses under his command are mostly newly recruited, when they first came to Taiyuan, there were only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"Also, then Yang Feng does have some skills." Chen Mo nodded, at that time, Pingyang and Xiangling he took it effortlessly, but Yang County, after trying a few times, he couldn't infiltrate it, so he could only rely on the infighting of the three of them to break Yang County, but in the end, what he got was almost an empty city.

"The lord thinks too highly of that Yang Feng, if it weren't for a good general under his command, could An have the momentum today?" Hu Cai said disdainfully, if Yang Feng really had the ability, he would not have shared Baibo Valley with the three of them for so many years.

"Oh? Good general? When Chen Mo heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Hu Cai and smiled: "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

Hu Cai nodded, thought for a while, and said: "This person's name is Xu Huang, a native of Yang County, and his background is also a wealthy family in Yang County, he used to be a county official in Yang County, and later after we occupied Baibo Valley, Yang Feng entrenched in Yang County and recruited this person into his command." ”

Chen Mo nodded and said, "What are your skills?" ”

"Xu Huang is very strong, good at using a big axe, on the battlefield, there is no enemy, quite brave, and proficient in the art of war, this time Yang Feng can quickly attack Jinyang, it is this person's work." Hu Cai said with some envy.

At the beginning, he deliberately dug Xu Huang to his side, and set up a discordant plan to provoke the relationship between Xu Huang and Na Yang Feng, but unfortunately there was not enough time, otherwise why would he have fallen into such a field today.

"The joint defense strategy in the township of Yang County, but it is from the hands of this person?" Chen Mo asked with a smile, Yang County's defense is no problem, at that time Yang County had 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if he didn't take the initiative to attack, if he could send more people to patrol, it was not easy for Chen Mo to win more with less, but at that time, the three of them had the heart of annexing each other, so that Chen Mo got advantage and drove the white wave thieves out of Hedong in one fell swoop.

"Exactly." Hu Cai nodded and said, "Although he is following the lord's example, the last general feels that this person has some ability to dispatch." ”

Chen Mo nodded, that's natural, this township joint defense is simple to say, but the most important thing to teach is the ability of scheduling and coordination, the township is united, the support must also be timely, and the enemy has to guard against ambushes, not to mention that Xu Huang himself has made adjustments according to the terrain of Yang County, and ordinary people can't do this scheduling ability alone.

"Are you sure that Li Le is in Qi County?" Chen Mo put this matter aside and looked at Hu Caidao.

There is not much time left for him at the moment, if he wants to take Taiyuan during this period, he must fight quickly, if it is a city by city, with the current strength of Hedong, I don't know when he will fight, although it is a psychological war, but if it is really not at the time of marriage, Chen Mo is worried that Cai Weng will directly raise his sword to cut himself.

"If it's all right, it will be so." Hu Cai nodded and said.

"Then follow the plan, after Jiexiu and Wu County take over, you take three hundred people to bring enough grain and grass to defect, and I will arrange dozens of people to hide in the grain cart, and after entering the city, you wait for the opportunity to capture Li Le and occupy the city gate, and I will lead the army to follow." Chen Mo smiled.

As for whether Hu Cai will have two hearts and conspire with Li Le to kill him, Chen Mo is not worried, Hu Cai's family members are here.

"The lord can rest assured, and the end will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." Hu Cai hurriedly bowed and said.

"Uncle Wang!" Chen Mo turned his head to look at Wang Biao.

"The last general!" Wang Biao stepped forward and bowed.

"This time you and Uncle Zheng go, you take some people to hide in the grain cart, and Uncle Zheng follows Hu Cai into the city together, be careful." Chen Mo looked at Wang Biao and said, Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng also need some credit to secure their current positions.

"The last general commands!" Wang Biao saluted.

"Without further ado, you guys leave immediately and let Bao Geng come to see me." Chen Mo got up and said.

"Whoa!"

The two agreed, turned around and left, and soon, Bao Geng rushed over and saluted Chen Mo: "Lord, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, you lead the cavalry, go up along the Fen River, pay attention to the movements of Qi County, and intercept the messengers on both sides of the river." Chen Mo nodded and said, there are not many cavalry under his command, they are usually used for reconnaissance or raids, and rarely fight head-on.

"Whoa!" Bao Geng hurriedly agreed and turned to leave.

Chen Mo ordered Cui Geng to stay and defend the city, and gathered Hu Cai's troops, the original generals stayed in the city to assist Cui Geng, Chen Mo selected the original generals from the army to be promoted to one level, and followed him to the expedition, before the surprise attack on the capital, and the news could be blocked, but now to fight Qi County, the news is difficult to block no matter what, under Hu Cai, there are already spies of Yang Feng and Li Le, Chen Mo blocked the central capital, but Jiexiu and Wu County can't block it, so he wants to grab time with Li Le and Yang Feng, and take Li Le first, Then gather forces to fight Yang Feng.

……

The next day, at noon, at the Qi County Bureau, Li Le was holding a beautiful woman drinking and having fun, and Hu Cai was blocking him in the south, Chen Mo sent troops to attack, and he couldn't hit him for a while, so compared to Hu Cai's nervousness, Li Le was extremely relaxed here, drinking and having fun every day, so unhappy.

was playing with the woman in his arms, but saw a general come in from outside the door, bowed down and said, "General, something happened!" ”

"What can it do?" Li Le didn't care much and said, "Isn't that Yang Feng calling?" ”

He almost cut Yang Feng before, but now the relationship between the two families is bad, and there are no big enemies around, it is not strange for Yang Feng to call him, but at most he will fight on a small scale, and now he has just occupied the territory, and this is not the time to do it.

"It's not Yang Feng, it's General Hu Cai!" The general bowed.

"Hu Cai?" Li Le snorted coldly and said, "With him, he dares to come here and be presumptuous? ”

"It's not a provocation, but a defection, and I brought more than 20 truckloads of food!" The general bowed.

"Defection?" Li Le sneered, why didn't Yang County have it in the first place? Isn't it just that Yang Feng accepted their defection, he didn't want the matter of Yang County to be staged here again, and frowned: "How many people did he bring?" ”

"More than 300 people, a little embarrassed!" The general bowed.

"Three hundred?" Li Le stood up: "What happened?" Could it be that Chen Mo called at this time? ”

"I don't know the last general, but there are scouts coming early this morning to report, and there are many cavalry along the river to intercept and kill our army messengers." The general bowed.

"Why don't you report it early?" Li Le said angrily when he heard this.

"The general was ...... at the time" The general glanced at the woman in Li Le's arms and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to disturb the general." ”

"Go meet him!" Li Le snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, and led the men and horses to the city gate, and saw that more than 20 grain trucks at the city gate were stopped outside the city, and there were many Hu Cai's soldiers around.

"Brother Hu, why is this?" Li Le motioned to the soldiers around him to step back and looked at Hu Caidao.

"Brother Li." Hu Cai said astringently: "This time I am sincerely here to vote, and I hope that Brother Li will look at the past and leave me a way to live, Hu Cai is willing to be loyal to Brother Li." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down directly.

Li Le did not step forward to help, but asked the soldiers around him to help Hu Cai up, looked at Hu Cai, and then looked at the soldiers behind him, frowned, and said, "What happened?" ”

"Those gentry in Hedong ......" Hu Cai sighed: "They have joined forces with Chen Mo, I read on the old feelings, let them enter the city, who knows that these people secretly brought Chen Mo's men and horses, and the central capital city will be occupied by these people without checking, and Jiexiu and Wu County are also easily taken by Chen Mo because of the help of these people." ”

"Chen Mo is really scheming!" Li Le snorted coldly and said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, go into the city to rest first, then Chen Mo's foothold is not stable, we will discuss and discuss, maybe we can help you recapture the city." ”

Hu Cai shook his head and said, "I am willing to help Brother Li capture the city, but ...... This commander-in-chief seems to be beautiful, but he is no longer willing to participate in it, just to live in peace. ”

Unpromising!

Li Le was disdainful in his heart, and he also had some doubts about whether Hu Cai's words were deceiving himself and luring him to help him recapture the city? But after all, they were together in the past, and seeing that Hu Cai was in trouble at this moment, Li Le couldn't help him, so he said at the moment: "Brother Hu, it's not that you don't believe it, it's just that you people need to put down your weapons before you can enter the city." ”

"It's nature." Chen Mo had already calculated this, and had already made arrangements, so he ordered Wang Yue and the others to put down their weapons, looked at the grain cart again, and said with some reluctance in his eyes: "Brother Li, these are my last things, and now I will give them to Brother Li, and I thank Brother Li for taking them in." ”

Li Le glanced at the grain trucks, although he was a little moved, but he still shook his head and said: "We are also heroes, how can we be greedy for Brother Hu's talent?" Brother Hu rest assured, this grain still belongs to you, I have ordered someone to arrange a military camp for you, so I will take them to rest first, and I will set up a banquet to entertain Brother Hu tonight, which can be regarded as a shock for Brother Hu! ”

"Thank you!" Hu Cai's face flushed with joy when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and said.

Li Le shook his head, a little disdainful, how to say that he is also a person who has commanded thousands of troops and horses, but now he is acting like this for a few carts of grain, sure enough, he was frightened by that Chen Mo, he actually regarded such people as opponents in the past, it was really ridiculous!
