August 1.

Pingting County.

The horn sounded in the school field, the sound was long and loud, and the people who were busy in the city stopped what they were doing and looked up in the direction of the school field.

The sun rises in the east, on the high platform of the school field, Chen Mo is wearing bright light armor, a Tang knife on his waist, a strong bow of twelve stones on his back, and his body is surrounded by purple light, like a god of war who descends to earth.

On the campus of Nuo University, the flags were unfurled, and 1,200 Shenwu guards and 800 Shenyong guards were fully armed and ready to go.

The Shen Yongwei was the best equipped, each with a spear, a bow (fifty arrows), leather armor, a small round shield, and a horizontal knife, among which more than 300 personal soldiers led by Sun Meng carried crossbows.

The Shenwu Guard is a little worse, there are no spears, round shields, and the others are similar to the Shenyong Guard.

They looked at Chen Mo on the high platform, and the purple light around the other party gave them a very strong morale.

After several months of training, they also had the shadow of a regular army, their expressions were serious and cold, and they stood together, giving great oppression to others.

Chen Mo held the handle of the Tang knife on his waist, and his chest was full of pride.

One thing he didn't say was that war was the fastest way to get resources.

At present, the development of Pingting County is too slow, and even the growth has slowed down, and if it continues like this, it will be difficult to maintain the current operation, and if there is no tax collection this year, there will only be war.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo is not repulsed by attacking Quanyang County.

After being silent for a moment, Chen Mo slowly spoke, and said loudly: "The army is about to send troops to Yuzhou and attack Quanyang County, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid."

There was a quick response from below.

From top to bottom, the whole army was permeated with an atmosphere of "I am invincible."

This kind of atmosphere was brought to them by Chen Mo, and it was originally brought out by the dozens or hundreds of veterans in Fuze Village who followed Chen Mo with a knife and a shot.

It is accumulated time and time again by winning more battles with less.

It was the defeat and weakness of the officers and soldiers that brought them back.

It was provided to them after many days of training, the equipment on their bodies, and the extremely high pension after death.

It was the military merit system that gave them motivation.

Under the high stage, Geng Songfu and Sun Meng were slightly shocked when they saw this scene, and the combat power and cohesion of an army can often be seen from the time they go on the expedition.

And they saw self-confidence and courage in this army.

Chen Mo smiled slightly, looked around the school yard, and encouraged: "This year's winter, there are not a few months to come, do you want to replace the thatched houses that leak everywhere in your home with wooden houses and brick houses?" Do you want to add a thick cotton coat to your wife, children and parents?"

Speaking of this, Chen Mo suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "You say, should you add a ploughing cow to the family and a donkey for grinding?" ”

"Yes!"

The 2,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the terrifying sound shook the eardrums a little.

Making the house bigger and warmer, having enough to eat, and wearing warm clothes have been the most simple aspirations of the people since ancient times, and they are also the driving force in their hearts.

"Then take your guns and your knives, and fight for me. All you need to do is to use your guns and your knives to kill the enemy, kill the enemy! Chen Mo shouted.

"Kill!"

Chen Mo's mobilization before the war was very successful, and the eyes of the soldiers were blazing with the flames of war, and their morale was ignited.

Chen Mo pulled out the Tang knife and pointed obliquely at the rising sun: "Let's go!" ”

Each squad leader and squadron leader led their teams out of the school field and walked towards the outside of the city.

Chen Mo stepped down from the high platform and said to Geng Songfu: "Pingting County will be handed over to Geng County, and if necessary, the city can be closed for governance." ”

Then he looked at Zhang He, Lu Yuan, Su Wen and others, and instructed: "Assist Geng Xiancheng well, and listen to Geng Xiancheng in major matters." ”

"No."

After speaking, Chen Mo rode on the armored snow dragon horse.

When he was about to leave, Geng Songfu hesitated, but still walked over and said to Chen Mo: "I think about it again and again, and I still have a few words I want to say to the county magistrate." ”

"Please."

"No soldier will attack a city without transgression, nor will he kill the innocent. The father and brother of the husband who kills, the goods and wealth of the people, and the children of the concubines are all stolen. Therefore, the soldiers are punished for riots, and injustice is forbidden. This is the ancestors of the ancestors, the old humble view of the county magistrate has great ambitions, hope to remember. Geng Songfu said.

Chen Mo was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "All soldiers, the system must be determined first." If the system is determined first, the punishment is a soldier. Since the formulation has been decided, it is natural to strictly implement it, and please rest assured that Geng County. ”

"Good." Geng Songfu bowed to Chen Mo.

When you leave the school field.

Chen Mo saw Xiaolu and Xiaoling standing in front of the wine shop opposite, wearing masks that could cover the sun and face, looking at him from afar.

Seeing his gaze, he raised his hand and waved.

Xiaolu is very sensible, there is no separation of life and death in the bitter love drama, but he looks at Chen Mo affectionately.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded to her, and then rode his horse to keep up with the large army, and the pro-army team led by Sun Meng followed behind.

As they passed by the Yamen, two fast horses galloped towards them, a woman wearing a black suit, carrying a long sword and a veil on a red horse, followed by a middle-aged man on a black horse.

When he wanted to get close to Chen Mo, he was stopped by Sun Meng and others: "Who is coming?" ”

Xia Zhining gritted her teeth, looked at the young man who looked at her, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and said, "Didn't you ask me to help?" ”

"You're not gone yet?" Chen Mo's voice was cold.

"You're right, we're going to leave after the fall." Xia Zhi condensed.

"Oh, then you stay in the Yamen after the autumn, I don't need your help." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly and said, "Drive." ”

Chen Mo knew that for Xia Zhining's training, he was only two or three steps away, and this time he had to dry the other party well, so that she could understand in her heart that she was away from her own taste.

Listening to the coldness in the young man's words, and the desperation when he didn't look back, Xia Zhining only felt that a heart sank to the bottom, and the fingers holding the reins couldn't help but clench a little.

"Second Miss, then we," Liu Ze asked tentatively.

"Keep up." Xia Zhining gently patted the horse's buttocks and followed.

The army went out of the city.

Chen Mo rode on top of the war horse, and behind him was a four-meter-tall Da Xu.

The yellow background is large, and there is a red "陳" character written on it.

Chen Mo's army of 2,000 people is considered to be lightly armed, there is no army to transport ordnance and baggage, only a logistics team responsible for transporting grain and grass, they do not go to the battlefield, so they are not counted in the number of troops.

The fundamental purpose of the war is to re-divide social resources.

Therefore, what Geng Songfu said before is very capable in today's world, and Chen Mo does not dare to guarantee that Qiu will not commit any crimes, and the reason why he promised the other party is mainly to leave a good impression in the other party's heart, maybe the other party also knows it in his heart.

Of course, Chen Mo will still try his best to follow Geng Songfu's standards.

Relying on burning, killing, looting to solve financial problems and maintain the morale of the army will eventually fall behind, and in the end it will not be successful.

"County magistrate, Little Lady Xia is still following our team." Sun Meng came to Chen Mo and said.

"Let the two of them join the pro-soldier team, but don't show it too obviously." Chen Mo thought for a moment and said.

With Sun Meng's arrangement, Xia Zhining and Liu Ze were integrated into this army.

The army had walked less than three miles out of the city when they saw the official road ahead, and a group of people had gathered in the dark.

At a glance, it was Yuan Youchun's Hujie Army, and Bai Qi and Yuan Youchun were also in the crowd.

The Hujie army was all dispatched, because in the entire Tianshi Army, very few troops had a base area, and almost fought a city to change places, and Yuan Youchun naturally did not regard Qingting County as a base area.

In his thoughts, after the Heavenly Division Army captured Yuzhou, they would choose another city and county in Yuzhou and plunder it to enjoy it.

Therefore, this dispatch not only opened the whole army, but also brought all the family funds with them.

Chen Mo raised a hand, Sun Meng immediately understood when he saw this, and at the same time, the flag commander also waved a small flag and shouted: "The whole army stops." ”

During this time, the banner order of the army was not learned in vain, and as this military order was passed down, the entire army immediately stopped.

After the army stopped, it suddenly formed a sharp contrast with the Hujie army.

The Hujie army is horizontal and vertical, and the army of 10,000 people has only one or two thousand people wearing armor, and these armored soldiers are not as equipped as Chen Mo's army, which should be Yuan Youchun's pro-military camp.

And when Yuan Youchun saw Chen Mo's army, his pupils also shrank slightly.

Although they were outnumbered, when they stopped, the uniform heavy steps beat on their hearts like the beat of a drum.

However, Yuan Youchun didn't take the other party too seriously, and his strength was several times that of the other party.

The Qingzhou army is strong, and it is not that it has been completely annihilated by the Tianshi army.

It can be said that since the Tianshi Army made its fortune, there has been no defeat in the battle, so that some middle and high-level generals of the Tianshi Army have a feeling of Lao Tzu being the first in the world.

Riding a war horse to Yuan Youchun's approach, Chen Mo's face was indifferent, and he said, "Why is General Yuan here?" ”

Yuan Youchun snorted coldly: "Qu Shuai asked you to cooperate with this general, you and I naturally have to go together, besides, Qingting County has to take this road to Quanyang County." ”

"That's fine." Chen Mo thought about it and did not refuse.

The people of Fukuzawa Village have all moved to the cottage, the reserves have also gone up the mountain, and the factories in the village have been temporarily suspended, so when the army passed the official road in front of Fukuzawa Village, the whole village was empty.

The journey to Quanyang County was relatively peaceful, but Chen Mo's army clashed with Yuan Youchun's Hujie army many times.

Every time, it was the Hujie Army who stirred up trouble first.

Because of the contradiction between Chen Mo and Yuan Youchun, under Yuan Youchun's intentional dissemination, it developed into a contradiction between Chen Mo and Hu Jiejun, and in the absence of evidence, Yuan Youchun directly said that the last salt warehouse was plundered by Chen Mo.

However, this kind of conflict is currently only a verbal war, at most a few pushes and shoves with each other, and it is still within the controllable range.

The march continued until the west five miles of Quanyang County, which was already the fourth day of the eighth month.

The grain that Yuan Youchun allocated to Chen Mo had already been eaten.
