Chapter 592: Six Hundred One: Invincible Under the Second Rank

When he was in Jiangnan before, Nangong Xian met Yue Ruyan. He cupped his hands in front of Yue Ruyan and said respectfully: "Then I will rely on General Yue a lot during this trip."

Yue Ruyan responded politely: "You are a senior, and Ruyan must listen to you during this trip."

Nangong Xian is Nangong Ru's biological father. It doesn't matter if Chen Mo orders him around, but it doesn't matter if she treats Nangong Xian like a subordinate.

After seeing the two of them exchange a few polite words, Chen Mo said: "I will ask the Suzaku Guard to allocate you five red cannons with a hundred shells. You can take them with you when you set off."

Hearing this, Nangong Xian's eyes lit up. He had previously learned from the military newspaper that the red cannon played a major role in An Guogong's ability to destroy Jin Xia's East Route Army.

Now that Fish Scale Guard has this thing to help him, and General Yue to help him, he is very sure to defeat King Huai.

"In addition, I have one more thing for you to do." Chen Mo walked to the side.

Nangong Xian understood that this was to be explained alone, so he quickly followed.

In the back hall of the Yamen, in the deserted corridor.

"I have asked Zuo Lianglun to go to Yuzhou to mobilize troops, so I order you to detach a battalion from the Yulin Guards and ride on the Yulin Guards' warship to the south bank of Qingzhou to pick up the troops coming from Yuzhou." Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

Nangong Xian was shocked, and there were actually soldiers and horses helping him.

The soldiers and horses coming from Yuzhou boarded the ship from Qingzhou, which means they landed on the north bank of Fengzhou.

In this way, the Yulin Guards can fight the Huai army head-on in Yi County, and the soldiers and horses coming from Yuzhou can steal the rear.

This is to punish King Huai to death.

Nangong Xian's eyebrows narrowed. I'm afraid this was Chen Mo's intention in calling him aside alone.

Suddenly, Nangong Xian felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle again. Although King Huai was Chen Mo's enemy, the relationship between the two of them was a bit complicated.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo said.

"It's nothing." Nangong Xian solemnly cupped his hands: "I will understand."

"What's going on in Jiangnan?" After explaining the matter, Chen Mo asked about Jiangnan.

Nangong Xian told what happened in Jiangnan, and then suddenly thought of something, and said: "Dong An, when I interrogated those spy clothes, I learned one thing, that is, the assassin who assassinated you at that time, Zhi Hua, her true identity The name is Huaying.

She also has a younger brother. According to what those spies told him, King Huai used her younger brother as a bargaining chip to control Huaying. Before Hua Ying assassinated you, Duke An, they had told Hua Ying that they would let Hua Ying's brother go regardless of whether the assassination plan failed or not.

But in fact, Hua Ying's younger brother died long ago, and committed suicide, because her brother also understood that as long as he lived for one day, his sister would never escape the fate of being a chess piece. In order not to be a burden to Hua Ying, her brother chose committed suicide. "

After saying that, Nangong Xian sighed and said, "If the dead Huaying saw his younger brother under Jiuquan, I don't know what he would think. He would probably regret his original decision."

Hearing this, Chen Mo opened his mouth, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Yes."

The war in He County was urgent, so Chen Mo didn't chat much with Nangong Xian. After the explanation, he and Xia Zhining separated from Nangong Xian, Yue Ruyan and the others, one going to He County and the other to Y County.

…

Crane County.

The beacon fire was ignited, and the city walls of He County showed a dilapidated scene.

The day after the Chen army stationed in He County retreated to Xiongmen County, the coalition forces of King Chong and Lu Sheng captured He County.

They also knew that Xiongmen County was an important town unlike He County, so they did not attack rashly for three days in a row, but instead discussed countermeasures.

This time they attacked Huaizhou under the banner of the imperial court and regarded themselves as the righteous party.

Therefore, after taking He County, they did not rob or persecute the people in the city. They just came down for three days in a row to spread ideological education to the people in the city and said that they were here to rescue them.

In the lobby of the Yamen in He County.

Gongsun Yan was sitting at the top, with the generals and generals of the coalition on the left, and the staff such as Wu Fusheng on the right.

Gongsun Yan was not wearing armor at the moment. He was wearing ordinary clothes. He tapped his fingers on the table in front of him. Fifth Fusheng, who was first on the right, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The prince's spies in Huainan have come to report that Chen Mo has arrived in Huainan." Zhouzhou, with less than three thousand soldiers and horses, met the Fish Scale Guards led by Nangong Xian..."

King Huai has been operating in Huaizhou for many years, and he still has some of his own informants.

Fifth Fusheng took a breath and continued: "According to the spies in Huainan, the Fish Scale Guards led by Nangong Xian separated from Chen Mo in Huainan and headed to the direction of Yi County. Chen Mo led thousands of people from Linzhou. Soldiers and horses are coming towards us.

In addition, the spies also said that after Nangong Xian and Chen Mo separated, a woman who originally followed Chen Mo followed Nangong Xian towards Yixian County. Based on the spies' description, I guess that this woman should be Yueru Smoked. "

"It seems that the news is true. The soldiers and horses that Chen Mo brought to the north have all stayed at the Youzhou border. There are still Jinxia barbarians remaining in Longyou. Chen Mo must not dare to mobilize the soldiers and horses stationed in Yuzhou. So the remaining There are not many soldiers and horses that he can mobilize, otherwise he would not let the Yulin Guards who came back from Jiangnan go to Yi County to defend King Huai."

Liang Mu touched the beard on his chin and said, "If I didn't guess, the thousands of soldiers and horses led by Chen Mo should be his personal barracks."

Gongsun Yan nodded: "Gong Liang is right, Chen Mo currently doesn't have many troops to mobilize, and this is our chance to defeat him.

Prince Huai is blocked by the Fish Scale Guards and may not be able to arrive in a short time. Huaizhou depends on us. If we can defeat the main force of the Chen Army led by Chen Mo, we can bring Prince Anping into the game. "

The Fifth Fusheng below heard this and his eyes condensed slightly. He thought about it carefully and shook his head again: "Although our troops are more than the opponent, the opponent has a weapon with extremely strong lethality. The Jinxia barbarians were also defeated by this. They call this weapon "Strange Thunder". If Chen Mo also brings the strange thunder, it will be enough to eliminate the difference in military strength between the two sides.

And with Chen Mo's strength, it is difficult for us to defeat the main force led by him. Chen Mo is a monster that is not like a human. He is only twenty-three. Liang Xuan and Jinxia's Timur are gone. Chen Mo wants to break through, and no one here can stop him. "

The Fifth Fusheng didn't say it too directly.

If he had said it more directly, with the arrival of Chen Mo, we would not be opponents at all.

After all, there are still two third-grade warriors in Xiongmen County. Once Chen Mo comes, there will be three.

And the coalition army only has two.

How can they be opponents of Chen's army when they don't have an advantage in military strength?

The people sitting in the hall were not fools, and they understood what the Fifth Fusheng wanted to express.

Gong Ruyan rubbed his fingers, looked at Huicheng below, and said: "General Hui, I don't mean to say bad things about Prime Minister Lu, nor do I look down on General Hui, but since we are cooperating, we naturally have to go all out, but Prime Minister Lu only sent General Hui here, but he didn't come himself. Isn't it too insincere?"

Huicheng's eyes condensed slightly, and he said: "Didn't King Chong come either?"

Gongsun Yan frowned and said: "The prince has important matters to deal with and can't get away, but the prince has sent two top-grade warriors, but Prime Minister Lu didn't send any. We have completely torn our faces with Chen Mo this time. If we lose the war, I'm sure Prime Minister Lu will not feel good either."

"The Prime Minister is also busy with affairs, dealing with the imperial examination and Xiliang's education. But please rest assured, General Gongsun, the Prime Minister has sent Mr. Luo here and sent an additional 10,000 elite soldiers, which is enough to deal with Chen Mo and others." Hui Cheng said.

"Luo Qingyang?" Liang Mu said.

"Yes, Mr. Luo is the current head of the Luo family and has been a top-grade warrior for many years. "Hui Cheng said.

The Luo family of Luonan is one of the seven famous families in the Song Dynasty. Compared with the Liang and Xiao families, the Luo family is more low-key.

Of course, this is not because the Luo family wants to be low-key, but the strength of the Luo family is indeed weaker than that of the other six families.

The reason is that in order to break through the first-grade warrior, Emperor Taizu used the formation to drain the dragon energy underground in Luonan, which caused a great loss of the local innate spiritual energy, causing the local warriors to practice too slowly. Until now, the dragon energy underground in Luonan has gradually recovered.

"But even with him, we only have three supernatural power warriors on our side, which is equal to the opponent and still not dominant." Liang Mu said.

"Mr. Liang doesn't know that the Prime Minister has a secret method that can temporarily improve his strength. This secret method was passed on to Mr. Luo and me. With Mr. Luo's strength, with the help of this secret method, he can reach invincibility below the second grade. And with the help of this secret method, I can barely be considered a supernatural power warrior, enough to deal with Chen Mo and others. "Hui Cheng said.

"Is there such a secret method in the world?" Liang Mu asked curiously.

Gongsun Yan also became interested and said in a joking tone: "Lu Xiang has such a secret method. If he shares it with me and Liang Gong, wouldn't we be more confident in dealing with Chen Mo?"

"General Gongsun's words are different. No matter what secret method it is, it can't be achieved in one fell swoop. It takes a certain amount of time to practice. Chen Mo is about to arrive. Even if General Gongsun takes this time, he can't learn it. Moreover, this kind of secret method needs to be taught by Lu Xiang himself, and I can't make the decision. "Hui Cheng smiled.

Gongsun Yan knew that the other party had declined politely, and a flash of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

The Fifth Fusheng looked at the scene in front of him and sighed in his heart, always feeling that this scene was familiar.

Although it was a cooperation, both sides were on guard against each other.

What was important?

The reason why the King of Chong did not come in person was mainly because he was worried that once he left, there would be no one in Chongzhou, and Lu Sheng would take the opportunity to occupy it.

The reason why Lu Sheng did not come was nothing more than that he was worried that once he left, Luonan would be empty and cause unrest.

Luonan, there are still many ministers loyal to the emperor.

If Lu Sheng, the King of Chong and the King of Huai were to cooperate sincerely, go all out, and not suspect each other, there would be six top-grade warriors and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. How could Chen Mo be an opponent?

But all this was not as good as imagined.

At this moment, the Fifth Fusheng seemed to see a future.

Whether it was the King of Huai, King Chong, or Lu Sheng, will not be the common ruler of the world after all, but will become a stepping stone for Chen Mo to help Chen Mo reach the top.

Thinking of this, Diwu Fusheng laughed at himself again.

He wanted to revitalize the Diwu family.

But he didn't even have the most basic vision.

...

Yuzhou.

Shuofei County.

Shuofei County is located in a valley, with high mountains behind it. First, it defended against the Yuezhi and then against Jinxia, ​​which caused many people in the county to move away. Later, the Jinxia barbarians withdrew and set fire to the city, burning everything.

Now the only people in the city are the stationed Chen army and the Chen army's family members who came to accompany them.

In September, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The engineers were reinforcing the city walls, cutting down trees in the surrounding mountains and fields to make battering rams for defending the city, and digging trenches for war preparations.

At this time, five fast horses galloped from the official road in the distance, bringing a puff of dust on the road.

Zuo Lianglun, the leader, saw sentries set up in front of him and mounted his horses. In order not to waste time, he quickly took out the troop deployment token given to him by Chen Mo from his arms, held it high and shouted: "Anguo Gong's soldier talisman is here." Now, if you see the military talisman or Duke An, get out of the way."

The soldiers blocking the road were stunned. When they got closer and saw clearly that the man on the horse was Zuo Lianglun again, they quickly got out of the way and asked someone to go into the city to report to General Li immediately.

Soon, Li Yunzhang came out with the officials and generals in the city.

After Zuo Lianglun saw Li Yunzhang, before he could get off his horse, he raised his token and shouted: "Li Yunzhang obeys the order."

Li Yunzhang had seen Chen Mo's military talisman and saw that the person coming was Zuo Lianglun. He had no doubts and quickly stepped forward to obey the order: "Li Yunzhang, the last general, obeys the order."

At this time, Zuo Lianglun also arrived in front of Li Yunzhang, stood up and dismounted, and said seriously: "Dong Anguo ordered Li Yunzhang to lead 2,000 brave guards, 3,000 divine guards, and 2,000 trapped guards, a total of 10,000 horses, to rush quickly Qingzhou, cross the river to aid Fengzhou, there must be no mistake."

After finishing Chen Mo's order, Zuo Lianglun's tone became kinder: "General Li, Huaizhou is in emergency. King Huai raided Fengzhou again. General Deng died in battle. Fengzhou is also in emergency. As a last resort, we can only mobilize Yuzhou’s soldiers and horses are gone.”

Hearing this, Li Yunzhang's expression changed. He stopped chatting with Zuo Lianglun and hurriedly mobilized his troops.

…

the other side.

Because he had been traveling non-stop all day and night, on the second night, Chen Mo had to order to stop and rest.

The pro-army camp set up camp in a mountain ridge and waited for dawn to continue the march.

The personal barracks are the elites of Chen's army who are stronger than the Shenyong Guards. They follow orders and prohibitions, and they go wherever the superiors arrange them. After setting up camp, they rest seriously without any complaints.

In the temporary tent, Xia Zhining came in after washing up, wearing a light robe. When she came in, a breeze blew, bringing with it a light fragrance.

She glanced at Chen Mo, who was looking at the map, then knelt down on the ground and spread the quilt. Taking advantage of the firelight in the tent, her buttocks were raised high and swaying.

But until she made the bed, Chen Mo didn't touch him.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest." Xia Zhining said.

"Well, you go to bed first, and I will study it later." Chen Mo said.

Xia Zhining was stunned. Normally, Chen Mo would have pounced on him at this time, but this time, he didn't take any action at all.
