September 5th.

Chen Mo arrived in Guangming County, which was less than a hundred miles away from Quanyang County, and if he marched in a hurry, he would be able to withdraw from the quagmire of Yuzhou with Sanwei's men in about three days.

But at this time, he received a reply from Yang Minggui.

And learned from the letter that the five generals under Yang Minggui except himself, Yuan Youchun, Dai Wangmin, and Wang Fa, were all ambushed by the Yuzhou army, and the whole army was annihilated.

Obviously, Yang Minggui believed that Yuan Youchun was killed by officers and soldiers.

The other two generals, an army of 25,000 people led by Wang Kai and Liu Fu, were besieged by officers and soldiers at Dongwei Bridge, and Chen Mo was asked to go to the rescue immediately.

After receiving this reply, Chen Mo immediately exclaimed, good guy.

He sent an urgent letter to Yang Minggui on August 23, and now he received a reply on September 5, and it has been almost half a month.

If Wang Kai and Liu Fuzhen were besieged, at this time, there were only two results, either they were eliminated or broke through.

Even if he is still surrounded, he will rush over now, and it will be too late.

In addition, you let me go to relieve the siege, and I don't allocate a little food?

Chen Mo called Sun Meng, Xia Zhining and others to discuss together.

After some research.

Chen Mo replied like this.

The general meaning is that I have received the letter, and I have done it, and I have fought a victory, killed one of the enemy's generals, Xu Jie, and now I will present my head, but at the same time it was pursued by the enemy, more than half of our army was killed and wounded, and there was a shortage of food, so I asked Qu Shuai to send reinforcements and allocate food.

Regarding the killing of Xu Jie before, Chen Mo did not ask Yang Minggui for credit, and now it can be used.

Anyway, you don't know if I'm going to send reinforcements.

But it is true that I won the battle, killed the enemy's main general, Xu Jie, and was pursued by the enemy.

Chen Mo reported 4,000 people to go immediately, of which 3,000 were prisoners, and asked Yang Minggui for 1,000 stone of grain.

Falsely reported the amount and asked for expenses, Chen Mo came easily.

Subsequently, Chen Mo asked Sanwei to stand still in Guangming County.

Reinforcements, it is impossible for him to go to reinforcements, he can only rely on touching the fish and training soldiers to get by.

That's right, Chen Mo instructed Xia Zhining to teach the three guards to line up the Glaive Array.

……

Yang Minggui received Chen Mo's reply on 16 September.

As for the head sent by Chen Mo, it has long been stinky.

But after all, it is the head of a middle-grade martial artist, and his face is still recognizable.

After reading the letter, Yang Minggui frowned, glanced at the head in the box again, took Chen Mo's letter to the military advisor Xu Mu to see, and said: "A thousand stone grain, how can it be so much, now the tens of thousands of people in Xialin alone will use up Ben Shuai's three hundred stone grain in one day."

In Yang Minggui's opinion, even if the people and horses in front of him have been killed and injured, it is not as important as him building the Heavenly King Palace, after all, it is a matter of whether he can break through to the supreme martial artist.

If you don't have a person, you can recruit again, but you can't delay your cultivation.

Therefore, he didn't plan to give this thousand stone grain, and felt that Chen Mo was in charge of a county, and he could be completely self-sufficient, and he couldn't take charge of the above.

"Qu Shuai, this thousand stone grain must be given, and it must be rewarded heavily, and the whole army must be notified." Xu Mu thought about it for a while and said.

"Huh?" Yang Minggui looked at Xu Mu.

"Qu Shuai, at present, the main battlefield of Fengzhou has been injured one after another, and the defeat is so annoying that the Heavenly Master and his old man are all big. And although Yuzhou is only a battlefield, Xu Jie is one of Liang Song's three major generals, and he is also the general of the Liang family.

Xu Muke is very politically minded, and the Heavenly Master has thirty-six square commanders, but the only ones that can be remembered by the Heavenly Master are those henchmen, so if other candidates want to perform in front of the Heavenly Master, they must first have dazzling achievements.

Chen Mo's battle report, although it is not too dazzling, but in the current situation of repeated defeats, he urgently needs a victory that can still be seen to boost the morale of the army.

In addition, this attack on Yuzhou, the Heavenly Master ordered Qu Shuai to be the vanguard, but Qu Shuai did not go in person, but sent the generals under him to go, and was ambushed by the other party, and suffered a big defeat.

And the so-called good news but not bad news, Chen Mo's war report can play its great role, and it can also cover up the big defeat.

Yang Minggui was a little bit pulled by Xu Mu, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and at the same time, he exclaimed in his heart, this thing can still be played like this.

"Qu Shuai, also, now that General Yuan, General Dai, and General Wang Fa have all died in battle, you are short of people, and you urgently need to develop henchmen, and Chen Mo is young and has great potential, so he is a suitable candidate.

In addition, after receiving your reply, he immediately rushed to reinforcements and inflicted heavy losses on the Yuzhou army, indicating that he still obeyed your orders very much and did not disobey the yang and the yin. Xu Mudao.

Yang Minggui completely understood that he could take advantage of this to win people's hearts with heavy rewards, and after informing the whole army, there was also a positive guiding effect on his reputation, letting everyone know that he had clear rewards and punishments.

"Yes, this thousand stone grain should be given, but the military advisor, how should this heavy reward be rewarded?" Yang Minggui asked.

Xu Mu pondered, he knew that Yang Minggui was reluctant to pay, so he said: "It just so happens that General Yuan has also died in battle, and Qu Shuai can hand over Qingting County to his jurisdiction." In addition, doesn't he need red copper, Qu Shuai can reward him with a thousand catties. ”

"Good." Anyway, Qingting County needs someone to take care of it, just reward Chen Mo, the red copper ore is also picked up for nothing, give him 1,800 catties, and he doesn't need to pay for it himself, Yang Minggui agreed to Xu Mu's proposal, and then asked:

"And what about him asking us to send reinforcements? There are also Wang Kai and Liu Funa, we can't abandon them."

Xu Mu stroked his chin and beard, walked back and forth in place twice, and finally fanned the feather fan, and said:

"But Chen Mo didn't move, since the Heavenly Master let Qu Shuai be the vanguard, then seeing that Yuzhou couldn't attack for a long time, he would definitely send other Qu Shuai to reinforce him.

As for General Wang Kai and General Liu Fu, there has been no news of them for more than half a month, so Chen Mo can send someone to inquire about their news, rescue them as appropriate, and allow him to act cheaply. ”

Yang Minggui thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

What Yang Minggui didn't know was.

Although the battle between the Heavenly Division Army and the Fengzhou Water Division was more defeated than victorious.

However, the Heavenly Division Army swept the entire northern land, which can be said to have a strong family background, and in the south, because of the war between King Qin's army and the imperial court, Fengzhou was isolated and helpless, and in terms of consumption, it could not compare with the Heavenly Division Army at all, so it could not support it for too long.

In this case, Fengzhou sent a large number of spy clothes (spies) to Qingzhou and began to infiltrate and make trouble.

……

End of September.

In the mountains outside Guangming County.

"Whoosh"

An arrow broke through the air and hit the neck of a wild boar that was leaning against the camphor tree.

But he didn't run far, and he fell to the ground and didn't move.

"Madame's Marksman!" There was an uproar in the mountains and forests.

In the mountains and forests, Chen Mo took Xia Zhining and dozens of personal soldiers to hunt on horseback.

Xia Zhining didn't wear a mask, but except for Sun Meng, the soldiers only knew that she had a close relationship with Chen Mo, and didn't know Xia Zhining's true identity, so they directly called her his wife.

Xia Zhining's face was slightly red, but she didn't refute, she had already adapted to this kind of military life, raised her bow and arrows and said, "Bring the wild boar back, today I will invite everyone to eat a whole pig feast." ”

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Mrs. Xie."

The soldiers cheered.

Back in Guangming County, Chen Mo saw Han Wu hurriedly walking over, with excitement on his face: "County magistrate, good news." ”

As he spoke, he gave Yang Minggui's letter to Chen Mo.

The letter explained that Qingting County was assigned to his jurisdiction, and only 30% of the coarse salt produced was collected, and in addition, he was rewarded with 1,500 catties of red copper.

The 1,000 stone of grain allocated is also on the way, but it will only be sent to Quanyang County, so that he can transport it himself.

This is indeed good news for Chen Mo, which means that he can expand his base area and recruit troops.

Don't look at the current Guangming County, Quanyang County and other counties at his disposal, but in the case that Yuzhou has not yet been defeated, these cities and counties cannot develop into their own base areas, because they will be recaptured by the Yuzhou army at any time.

In addition, the population of these cities and counties has migrated to the hinterland of Yuzhou, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

But Qingting County is different, it has a large population, although it has been devastated by Yuan Youchun, it has resources, and in addition, it is stable in the territory of the Heavenly Master Army.

Chen Mo immediately wrote a letter and sent a fast horse back to Pingting County, asking Geng Songfu to send someone to receive it.

Secondly, let Sun Meng lead one hundred and two guards (Shen Yong and Shen Wu Wei) and three hundred trap guards to pick up the convoy of grain and transport 1,000 stone of grain to Guangming County.

As for what Yang Minggui wrote in the letter, let him inquire about the news of Wang Kai and Liu Fu, and Chen Mo would do it.

But among the discretionary rescues, even if he can be rescued, he will not save them.

Now he is temporarily staying in Guangming County, waiting for the Heavenly Division Army to send reinforcements in the future.

The main word, Gou.

In the evening, Chen Mo nibbled on a roasted wild boar leg brought by Xia Zhining, while looking at the map, wanting to see if there were any mineral resources such as iron ore around, and then pack some back.

It's a pity that a strategic resource like this will definitely not be marked on the map, and all the officials in Guangming County have run away, and Chen Mo has nowhere to ask.

Bite off a piece of wild boar.

[The number of tonic meat is +0.05, and the experience of Ziyang Yuan Gong is +0.05.] 】

"At this rate, it should have broken through less than four grades a year ago."

Chen Mo took a sip of broth, and then handed the half-gnawed wild boar leg to Xia Zhining's mouth.

Xia Zhining glanced at it with disgust, but she still tasted it in the place where she had never bitten, and then said, "It's unpalatable to death." ”
