Chapter 56: Human Nature

"Marquis, it's really a god, those yellow turban thieves are so vulnerable!" Bao Geng led the rest of the men into the city, looked at the yellow turban thief who fled in embarrassment, and looked at Chen Modao with admiration.

"It's just a matter of retreating, ordering someone to clean up the battlefield immediately, block the four gates, and send someone to inform the captain to come and join as soon as possible, if those yellow turban thieves are killed, I can't hold the city by waiting for this point!" Chen Mo shook his head, and his heart was indeed a little heavy.

These Yellow Turban Thieves have changed drastically from the Yellow Turban Thieves he met at the beginning.

Although the number of people is not as large as at the beginning, but the battle is quite orderly, there are secret sentinels around to monitor, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to those Yellow Turban thieves who were defeated at the slightest setback, if it was not for Fang Cai to kill the opponent's generals in the first place, the battle outside the city is not so simple.

Shoot people and horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, this is Chen Mo's first choice when he encounters a battle, his archery skills are good, and he later learned to ride archery, shoot the enemy generals first in the battle, and then disrupt the enemy's formation, which can effectively avoid their own casualties at the same time, and cause chaos to the enemy army to the greatest extent, smoothly, just like just now, thousands of troops outside the city directly collapsed.

If it weren't for that, although the soldiers and horses outside the city were scattered, with his little men, he would have to kill him for a long time if he stood still.

But this is the effect of Chen Mo's tactical literacy plus the right time and place and his personal ability, otherwise two hundred people will repel thousands of people...... It's basically fantasy.

This is exactly what Chen Mo is worried about, this Ge Pi thief is wearing the skin of a yellow scarf, but to deal with it, it is much more difficult to deal with than the original yellow turban thief, although the other party is not as many as the original yellow turban thief, but the pertinence is much stronger than the yellow turban thief who bloomed everywhere at the beginning, and the overall combat effectiveness has increased by more than one level compared with the same number of yellow turban thieves at the beginning, and this time from the perspective of the imperial court's troops, it is obvious that the Ge Pi thief is the original yellow turban thief to fight.

This battle is not easy, when Bao Hong comes, you need to discuss it with him, it is best to dock with the soldiers and horses of Runan, Qianjun, and Chen Guo, and it is not enough for them to rely on more than 1,000 people.

The two generals began to divide the labor with their men and horses, clean up the battlefield, repair the city gate and the female wall, and Chen Mo found the remaining county guards in the city.

"You don't have to panic, I'm a military captain under the tent of a military marquis, and the follow-up army will arrive soon." Chen Mo looked at the only three remaining county guards, and did not pursue them hiding in the people's homes to fear the war, he followed Zang Hong for four years, he knew very well what the level of the county guards was, and now he still had to use people, those things, just don't see it, the most important thing now is to restore order in the city.

Seeing that the three county guards bowed their heads and were silent, Chen Mo frowned: "The three of you immediately organized the people, put out the fire, selected Zhuang Yong to help patrol, and found out the thieves who had not escaped." ”

"Why didn't you come early!?" A county guard suddenly glared at Chen Mo with red eyes, wanting to pounce.

"Huh?" Da Lang, who had been following Chen Mo, drew his knife and put it directly on the other party's neck, his cold gaze fell on the other party's face, and a faint murderous intent permeated, as long as the other party made any more changes, he would definitely kill him mercilessly.

The county guard froze, still looking at Chen Mo with hatred on his face, and roared angrily: "If you can come early, why should I wait for this, do you know how many people died in the city today!?" You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you are in vain! ”

Chen Mo looked at the other three, and suddenly smiled, with a little irrepressible anger in his smile, turned over and dismounted, and came straight to the man, without speaking, he slapped him in the face directly, his body has been exercising all year round, and he is already stronger than ordinary people, since entering the West Garden, he has been exercising frantically every day, and his strength has far exceeded that of ordinary people.

There were already a lot of people gathered around at this moment, and the words of the county guard before had resonated with them, and at this moment, seeing Chen Mo directly hitting people, he was even more angry with Chen Mo.

"I only brought two hundred people, and you know better than me how many yellow turban thieves there are in this city! Greedy for life and afraid of death? If I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I can wait for the arrival of the army before sending troops, but I don't know if you can afford to wait. Chen Mo looked at the people around him, shook his head and laughed, and pointed to the county guard who covered his face on the ground and said: "You see that I am young, and when you say this, you just want me to take responsibility for you, as a county guard, you don't want to kill the enemy to defend the city, but hide in the people's houses, I don't want to worry about you, I don't want to get away with it, and I want to bite back on me, don't say that I will do it immediately after discovering the enemy's situation, I just wait until the army arrives to make a move, and the court will not hold me accountable for this!" However, since the three of you don't appreciate it, then you don't have to be villains in vain, take it down, and after the army arrives, it will be handed over to the Runan County Government Office! ”

Render good for evil?

Today's Chen Mo is not a little dung man who was still in the countryside back then, the good thoughts that have no bottom line principle in his heart are long gone, I pity you and let you go, that is my good thoughts, but if you don't appreciate it, or even look at me when I am young and want to step on it, then you are looking for the wrong person.

"Whoa!" Several guards around him stepped forward directly, and without saying a word, kicked the other two down and tied them up.

"General, we don't mean that!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the other two hurriedly begged for mercy.

However, the opportunity has already been given, if these three people work hard to cooperate with Chen Mo, Chen Mo will not pursue it, and he is too lazy to care about the affairs of these places, but since he has bad intentions, Chen Mo will never be soft-hearted, and looked indifferently at the people who are gradually increasing around him and said: "I will come here to please the thief, now Nanton has no owner, I will temporarily issue an order, if you are willing to accept it, as soon as possible according to the command of the soldiers, extinguish the fire and save people, if you are unwilling, you will directly lead the troops to leave, and you will fend for yourself, a certain is a soldier, just fight." ”

The people around are much more well-behaved at the moment, no one is unreasonable anymore, and now the official army can still keep them safe, but if Chen Mo directly takes people away, and the Yellow Turban thieves come back, they will be finished.

At that moment, under the command of Chen Mo, the doctors and craftsmen in the city were gathered to treat the wounded, and at the same time, some carpenters and masons were recruited to repair the city walls and gates.

Although the war has destroyed homes and killed relatives and friends, the living will continue to live.

Looking at this orderly scene, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He followed Zang Hong in Dangli for four years, and he was also quite proficient in the governance of the county, and now it is not difficult to do this, but he is a little cold-hearted, and after arranging everything, he went straight to the city wall.

"These people are like this, deceiving good and fearing evil." Da Lang followed Chen Mo to the city wall, looked at the messy battlefield outside the city, and said comfortingly: "There is no need to be angry because of them. ”

After Da Lang was recruited into the camp by Chen Mo, he became Chen Mo's personal guard, responsible for Chen Mo's guard, as a brother who grew up together, he knew that Chen Mo must be extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

"I just remembered Aunt Zhang and Aunt Cai." Chen Mo held the female wall with his hand, looked at the scenery in the distance, sighed and said, "You said that if I hadn't been so familiar with his family back then, would he have complained about me?" If Uncle Wang and Uncle Cai are not like brothers, after Uncle Cai dies, will Aunt Cai treat Uncle Wang like that? ”

"When people encounter great difficulties, they will always lose their temper with their relatives, and I don't know why?" Da Lang held the knife and shook his head, Chen Mo couldn't figure out this question, and he couldn't understand it.

"Humanity." Chen Mo sighed: "Because Aunt Zhang knows that we won't hurt her, and Aunt Cai knows that Uncle Wang won't hurt her." ”

"Nest in the nest?" Da Lang looked at Chen Mo.

"Almost, bullying the soft and fearing the hard, it can also be said that they are angry about their own incompetence, the people closest to them, even if they are excessive, will forgive them, just like these people, we are officers and soldiers, to protect them, so they will vent this emotion on us, and when they find out that we will not tolerate it, they will hold it back." Chen Mo groped for the female wall and smiled.

"It seems that I used to be the same, when my father and mother died, I complained about Uncle Yang and Uncle Li." Da Lang remembered something unpleasant.

"But you're really alive." Chen Mo smiled: "You look at the people in the city, many of them have lived for half their lives, I'm afraid they don't understand these truths, don't talk about these, how many people have been killed in this battle?" ”

"Six, and one ran away." Da Lang said.

"According to the merits, after going back, you can be a captain, and if you have the opportunity, you can be promoted to the team rate." Chen Mo smiled.

"It's good to be a personal guard, you don't have to worry about many things, concentrate on martial arts and study, and if you are promoted in the future, there will naturally be more people under me." Da Lang shook his head, it's not that he doesn't want to be promoted, it's just that now Chen Mo is just a military marquis, if he wastes favor because of his business, it will not be easy for Chen Mo to be promoted.

"If you are promoted according to merit, if you are not rewarded for your merits, where is the prestige of the court?" Chen Mo patted Da Lang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Live well, survive, and you may be a big official in the future." ”

"Marquis, the captain sent someone to send a message that the army is still fifty miles away from here, let me wait not to move lightly, and after the army converges, we will discuss countermeasures." Bao Geng ran over quickly and saluted Chen Mo.

"Nanton has been rescued, I will write a report later, and send it to the Runan County Office, this county order, county commander, and county lieutenant have all died in battle, Nanton needs to send someone as soon as possible, we can't always be stationed here." Chen Mo looked around, Nanton had no danger to defend, and when the troops were insufficient, this place was not suitable for garrisons, and he also wanted to get some specific information about the Ge Pi thieves from the Runan County Government Office, but at the moment they had too little information, and they didn't even know how big the Ge Pi thieves' territory was now, and the geometry of the soldiers and horses didn't know, which was a great loss when formulating the strategy in the future.

"Whoa!" Bao Geng agreed, turned around and left to find someone, while Chen Mo took Da Lang and his guards and walked straight to the direction of the government office, he didn't have pen and ink and bamboo slips on him.
