Qiming City.

In three days, Chen Mo led the army to occupy two more cities in the Southern Zhou Dynasty and advanced for a hundred miles.

At present, the army is resting in Qiming City in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Qiming City was a large city in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, with a population of more than 200,000.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

All the generals gathered together.

In the hall, the defenders of the Southern Zhou Dynasty left a map of the surrounding area, and Chen Mo and his party also found a complete map of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Mo took a red pen and connected the escape routes of the Southern Zhou army on the map, and finally drew a circle in a river.

The veteran Xu Lie saw the Chu army's plan at a glance: "The enemy army is going to retreat to the south of the Huai River, and intends to use the natural danger of the Huai River to stop us."

Chen Mo nodded: "From the retreat of the enemy army, I am afraid that this kind of plan is really made, maybe they also know that the king of Zhenxi has already entered the matter, if they do not retreat to the Huai River, and wait for the king of Zhenxi to reach the Huai River first, it will be difficult for our two armies to make dumplings for them."

"But we don't have a sailor, how are we going to cross the river?" One of the generals found a problem and said.

At present, whether it is the Vietnamese army or the Southern Zhou army, there are cavalry, infantry, artillery, and archers in the ranks, but there are no sailors.

If the Southern Zhou army was guarding the river, it would be really difficult to fight without a water division.

Chen Mo's eyes stared at the map and looked at it carefully, and finally drew a circle on the map with a red pen, and said, "Therefore, we can only bypass the Huai River, and the time to cross from here is the shortest."

For the sake of today, this is the only way.

Although some cities built bridges across the river.

But they were lagging behind, and after the Southern Zhou army passed, they would definitely find a way to destroy the bridge, so they could only bypass it.

"Pass the order, the army marches at full speed, don't chase them anymore, and rush to Bridgewater Town as fast as possible." Chen Mo said.

"No."

Two days later.

Chen Mo led his army to a small town.

This place is less than 200 miles away from Qiaoshui Town.

At the speed of a large army, it can be reached in three days.

Chen Mo replenished supplies here.

How to replenish?

The so-called war is of course taken from the local people.

It was here that Chen Mo again received a letter from the Southern Zhou Emperor.

Obviously, his request, the other party refused.

Chen Mo was not surprised by this.

If the Southern Zhou Emperor could agree to such a request, it would be difficult for Chen Mo to doubt it.

Subsequently, Chen Mo showed the letter to Deng Baiqing.

Of course, he opened his mouth to the lion of the Southern Zhou Emperor, and he must not have told Deng Baiqing.

He said, "You are still here with a hard mouth and struggling to support yourself, you see, your emperor has given you up, and they have believed that you have taken refuge in our business."

With that, Chen Mo gave him the letter, and then left.

Chen Mo didn't care whether Deng Baiqing believed it or not, he was destroying Deng Baiqing's belief step by step.

…

On the same day, Chen Mo also received a letter from Hei Wu from the king of Zhenxi.

The king of Zhenxi was the same as him, and even without the main army to resist them, he advanced faster than him.

At this moment, the king of Zhenxi had arrived in Zhangfu County, Gao Song City, Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Mo immediately took out the map, pushed it away on the handsome case, and took out a red pen to connect Gao Song City with the town where he was located.

The distance between the two sides, as well as no more than a thousand miles.

It is believed that it has been less than a week since it was issued, that is, in less than half a month, the king of Zhenxi will be able to lead his army to Qiaoshui Town.

Seeing this, Chen Mo decided to wait for the king of Zhenxi for a few days in the current town.

...

After staying for four days.

The army continued to march, and it was the kind that marched at full speed, all night.

Finally, in less than three days, we arrived at Bridgewater Town.

The population of the city is less than 30,000.

It's a small town.

The defenders in the city knew that the Chu army was coming this way, and they had already run away.

The big families in the city also ran with them.

Because of the importance of this city, it must not be lost before the arrival of the king of Zhenxi.

Chen Moyi set up a barracks in the city and defended it with heavy troops.

The home of a big family in the city was transformed into a command post by Chen Mo.

Chen Mo restrained the soldiers under him, told them not to harm the local people, and patrolled day and night to prevent the people in the city.

Night falls.

In a courtyard, the fire is bright.

The officers and men of the Chu army went in and out.

In the backyard, it was transformed into a place where Chen Mo and his daughters lived.

In Du Zijin's room, the bed was covered with a futon, a light blue skirt, and the towering Nangong Jinse was talking to Du Zijin.

After autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the two beauties are no longer as light and thin as summer clothes, like clouds and hair, pinned with Chen Mo between their hair, but different styles of hairpins, with different styles of jasper earrings in their ears, shining under the lights.

Both women were discussing the war.

"Judging from the current situation, by the time your father arrives, the armies of the two armies will be combined, and there will be more than 300,000 troops." Nangong Jinse said.

"Not only that, the black cavalry army stationed in Fuyou City on the southwest border was also brought into the Southern Zhou by my father." Du Zijin said.

Fuyou City is garrisoned by 200,000 black cavalry.

Even if you don't take all of them away, you will definitely take half of them.

Hearing this, Nangong Jinse felt a little numb when he thought of that huge number, at least 400,000 troops.

All the armies of the entire country of Vietnam combined, are less than half of this.

"The daily military consumption is huge, and I don't know when it will end." Nangong Jinse said.

"Soon, the Southern Zhou army retreated to the south of the Huai River, obviously ready to fight to the death, I guess when my father and the emperor arrive with the army, it will be the time for a decisive battle." Du Zijin said.

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment, the door opened, and Chen Mo walked in.

"Husband." Nangong Jinse hurriedly greeted each other, a smile appeared on Xue's skin and rain, and he said softly: "Just now, I was talking to Sister Zijin about when the two armies would fight a decisive battle, and I was about to ask you, but you came."

Du Zijin also walked over, and a clear and pleasant voice sounded: "Shouldn't the husband be in the late autumn sister's room?"

"Late autumn is coming." Chen Mo first returned to Du Zijin, then held Nangong Jinse's little hand, came to the bedside and sat down, hugged her waist, and said softly: "When the king of Zhenxi arrives with the army, the decisive battle will begin, and if it continues like this, the rear will not be able to withstand the consumption. I think Nan Zhou is similar to us."

"That's what Sister Zijin said just now." Nangong Jinse said with a smile.

"Oh." Chen Mo looked up at Du Zijin, just as Du Zijin also came over, sat down on the other side of him, Chen Mo also took Du Zijin into his arms, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "It seems that there is a soul between our husband and wife."

Du Zijin glanced at Chen Mo, wiped the saliva from his cheeks, and said angrily, "I haven't washed my face yet."
