Chapter 199: Zhongmu seeks talents

In Yangzhai City, Ye Mo was still sitting in the study of the county government. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] Although Ye Mo had already agreed with Yang Feng and Han Xian that he would pursue Yuan Shu before, considering that Tao Qian's Xuzhou army was there, if the imperial army pursued too tightly, Yuan Shu would flee back to Yangzhou without stopping.

But if Ye Mo was not in a hurry to pursue, he could not say that Yuan Shu would take the initiative to go to the Xuzhou army to fight. In this way, if Ye Mo pursues again, he can leave all the Yangzhou army behind. In fact, Ye Mo also has a plan, Tao Qian's Xuzhou army sent troops at this time, just to get some benefits, Ye Mo led the troops to pursue Yuan Shu later, which could also make Tao Qian's Xuzhou army suffer some losses.

Just when Ye Mo was boredly reading some books in the Yangzhai County Yazhong in the study, a person came in outside and shouted at Ye Mo: "Young master, I got the news just now that Yuan Shu has set off from Chen County and is going to Qian County." ”

Ye Mo looked up, but it was Ye San who came in. Hearing what Ye San said, Ye Mo hurriedly took out a map and looked at it. At this time, after receiving the news, judging from the speed of the scout, it has been at least a day and a half for Yuan Shu to set off. And Yuan Shu did not go to Pingyu, but went to Qian County, which was what Ye Mo had expected, Yuan Shu took the initiative to find Tao Qian's Xuzhou army.

"Command the army, set off now and go to Qian County." After thinking about some situations, Ye Mo said to Ye San, but his tone was quite anxious. Ye Mo thought of a possibility, Tao Qian's Xuzhou army was not good at attacking the city in Qian County, and Yuan Shu rushed to Qian County after getting the news, in order to annihilate these Xuzhou soldiers with the defenders of Qian County.

If it was really as Ye Mo expected, then the army would only set off at this time, and it must be too late. Ye Mo knew that Xuzhou was quite talented, but most of the people who could lead the army to fight were not under Tao Qian's control. And now the general of Xuzhou's army is Cao Bao. Cao Bao is a person, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a straw bag. Generally speaking, there is definitely no waste that can leave a name in history, but Cao Bao is a person who spends all his mind on fighting for power with the Mi family, the Chen family, and various families.

It's just a pity that this time it was really Cao Bao commanding the troops, which was a situation that Ye Mo hadn't thought of before. Speaking of which, Zang Ba and Chen Deng in Xuzhou, even if it is Di Rong or even Que Xuan, are better than Cao Bao to lead the troops, but I don't know if Que Xuan died at this time.

After Ye San got the order, he didn't ask why. Anyway, in their opinion, what Ye Mo said is always right, and those who dare to oppose Ye Mo's words are enemies, even Emperor Lao Tzu. Ye San went out to give orders, and Ye Mo also walked out.

After coming out, Ye Mo happened to meet Zhu Yu, so he hurriedly stopped Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu was also looking for Ye Mo to ask something at this time, so he walked quickly to Ye Mo's side.

"My lord, what's the matter with finding someone?" After Zhu Yu walked to Ye Mo's side, he asked.

Ye Mo was a little displeased when he heard Zhu Yu call himself a "villain", but he thought that Zhu Yu was a death row prisoner before, and at this time, Ye Mo had not yet asked the court for an official position for Zhu Yu, so he didn't say anything. "I wonder if you've been free lately, Zhu Yu?"

Zhu Yu heard Ye Mo ask, so he replied: "The villain just wanted to ask the adult, which part of our beggar army belongs to this pursuit of Yuan Shu's army?" Under whose command? ”

Ye Mo listened to Zhu Yu's question, and his head suddenly grew big. In his imagination, he did not think that the beggar army would participate in this pursuit. After all, the beggar army had only just become an army and lacked training, and although nearly a hundred Janissaries had joined the beggar army, the number of beggars was still too small.

"The beggar army is not involved in this operation, and the current task of the beggar army is to recruit and train." Although Ye Mo knew how much the soldiers in the begging army wanted to fight with Yuan Shu's army to avenge Huang Cong, but now the begging army is really not strong, if they go to the battlefield, maybe these people will not be able to come back.

Instead, let these people stay in Yangzhai City now, and let them put their anger into training. Naming this army "Beggar", Ye Mo had his own considerations. At the time of the Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the beggar army was a strong Han army. Under the circumstances, there was no doubt about the strength of the beggar army.

Ye Mo hopes that this begging army can surpass the combat effectiveness of that beggar army, so in addition to the word "beggar", the most important thing is training. An army composed of ordinary people, even if it is to break out alive, will never be as good as a trained and faithful army, and Ye Mo hopes that the beggar army he has formed is the latter.

Zhu Yu listened to Ye Mo's words, and suddenly became a little stupid. The reason why the beggar army was established was revenge, in order to avenge Huang Cong. But now Ye Mo said that the beggar army did not participate in the pursuit of Yuan Shu, which made Zhu Yu how could he accept it for a while?

"Your Excellency, you can't be mistaken, right?" Zhu Yu looked at Ye Mo in a daze, and couldn't believe his ears.

Ye Mo knew why Zhu Yu asked this, but Ye Mo also knew that the current beggar army was really not strong. Looking at Zhu Yu, Ye Mo explained the reason to Zhu Yu in detail, which made Zhu Yu slowly accept the reality that he could not avenge Huang Cong for the time being. If you really let the beggar army go to the army at this time, it's hard to say whether you can avenge Huang Cong, anyway, you will definitely have to avenge these people next.

After knowing that he couldn't participate in the war this time, Zhu Yu walked back with some disappointment, completely forgetting that Ye Mo had something to do with him before.

"Zhu Yu, are you free these days?" Seeing that Zhu Yu was leaving, Ye Mo asked again.

Zhu Yu heard Ye Mo's question, and then remembered that Ye Mo had asked him if he was free in the past few days. "My lord, now the beggar army can only stay in Yangzhai, and the villain is naturally free." It's just that when he said this, Zhu Yu was a little resentful.

Ye Mo heard the resentment in Zhu Yu's words, but he smiled, as if he hadn't heard it. "Zhu Yu, there is something you need to do for me, I don't know if you want to?" Looking at Zhu Yu, Ye Mo still hoped that Zhu Yu would agree, but even if Zhu Yu didn't agree, then Ye Mo would not be disappointed, after all, this matter is not big, it is not small. And whether this matter is true or not, Ye Mo is not very clear now.

Zhu Yu saw that Ye Mo wanted him to do it again, originally because Ye Mo had not agreed to the request of the beggar army to send troops before, he had the intention not to agree. But Zhu Yu was very curious about what Ye Mo wanted him to do, so he nodded and agreed.

Ye Mo saw that Zhu Yu agreed, so he continued: "Has Zhu Yu ever heard of Zhongmu County? ”

Zhu Yu nodded when he heard Ye Mo ask, but he didn't know why Ye Mo asked him about Zhongmu County, could it be that Ye Mo wanted him to go to Zhongmu County to do something? It's just that the main task now is to pursue Yuan Shu's defeated army, but what does it have to do with Zhongmu County?

In fact, Ye Mo also thought of Zhongmu County temporarily. In the study, Ye Mo had been thinking about the defense of Yuzhou after the army retreated. After thinking about it, Ye Mo thought of Yang Feng. Yang Feng has the heart to return to the imperial court, and if he asks for the post of a general for Yang Feng, Yang Feng must be happy to stay and guard. Moreover, there is a fierce general Xu Huang under Yang Feng's account, and Xu Huang is guarded, so there must be no major problems.

But there are military generals, but there is a lack of a civilian official to assist them. Speaking of which, Ye Mo accepted a few scribes, but now that Chang Lin is in Liaodong, Xi Zhi went to Jiangdong. At this time, it is quite difficult to recruit a capable civil official, after all, most civil officials are in families, but Ye Mo offended the Han family because of the Wei family.

After thinking about it, Ye Mo thought of a person, and that was Chen Gong, who followed Cao Cao at the beginning. But where is Chen Gong, this is a question. Chen Gong is now an official subordinate to the Han Dynasty, which must be true, but it is not clear where he is an official. After thinking about it, Ye Mo thought of a place, and that was Zhongmu County.

Chen Gong released Cao Cao who was caught in Zhongmu County, but this is just the situation in the novel, and it is difficult to say whether Chen Gong is in Zhongmu County or not. But now Ye Mo has no choice but to go to Zhongmu County to try his luck.

"I don't know what the adults want the villain to do in Zhongmu County?" Zhu Yu looked at Ye Mo and asked.

"Zhu Yu, after you arrive in Zhongmu County, bring the thieves, county lieutenants, and county orders of Zhongmu County here." Since he didn't know that Chen Gong was not in Zhongmu County, it was always not wrong to bring these three people over in line with the purpose of preferring to catch mistakes and not letting them go. Anyway, Cao Cao was arrested in Zhongmu County, at least it shows that the thief Cao in Zhongmu County is still good. xh118
