Chapter 115 Planning to attack the county seat
in the living room.

Chen Mo looked at Hu Qiang in front of him, tapping the table with his fingers, his expression slightly condensed.

It's not like he never thought about attacking the city.

But there is a saying in the military book that in the battle of siege, besiege it three times and attack it ten times.

There are thousands of garrison troops in Pingting County, not counting the civilians in the city. Without tens of thousands of troops, how can we defeat them?

And currently, in the village, he is the only one who is incredibly strong. Almost everyone else is ordinary people. Without internal support, there is no way to break in.

"Have you told them that there are only 800 young people in our village?" Chen Mo said.

"I said it." Hu Qiang said: "Master Chen Xian, I said everything according to what you taught me. I didn't mention anything you didn't teach me."

"Then why would he let me attack Pingting County?"

Chen Mo muttered, Pingting County is not a small county. According to the classification of Pingting County in the Song Dynasty, it belongs to Shangxian County. Anyone with any brains knows that 800 people cannot conquer Shangxian County.

But the other party still said this, so there are only three possibilities.

The first possibility is that the other party has no brains.

However, this possibility is unlikely. If the Tianshi Army could develop to such a large scale, it would have been destroyed long ago if it had no brains.

The second possibility is to use him as a spearman and let him lead the army to weaken the county garrison first.

The third possibility is a test.

The other party probably didn't expect him to conquer Pingting County, but used it to test his courage or something.

The reason why Chen Mo thought this was possible was because Hu Qiang said that Qu Shuai named Yang Minggui admired him very much.

However, Chen Mo was more inclined to the second possibility.

"Did he say what the punishment would be if he didn't attack Pingting County?" Chen Mo said after pondering for a while.

Hu Qiang shook his head.

"I know, you go down and rest first. Thank you for your hard work. Don't tell the people in the village, including your family, about the attack on the county seat." Chen Mo said.

"I understand."

After Hu Qiang left, Chen Mo paced back and forth in the living room.

The final decision was to attack the county seat.

As for how to fight, careful planning is needed.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo asked someone to call Wang Ran.

Wang Ran has been living a good life these days. Compared to being locked up in a small dark room, he can move around the village freely.

And Chen Mo was right, the people in the village did not touch his two concubines.

Wang Ran thought about escaping, but he soon discovered that Su and Wen were staring at him, and the brave guards were patrolling the village day and night, making it difficult to escape.

But Wang Ran was always uneasy.

Chen Mo didn't let him go, nor did he arrange for him to do anything, so that he could not figure out what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

This left him with little appetite for meals every day.

At this moment, a brave guard came over and said that Master Chen wanted to see him.

With fear and uneasiness, Wang Ran followed the Shenyong Guard to the outside of the Chen Family Courtyard.

"call out!"

At this moment, a sound broke through the air, and a stream of light almost brushed past his face. He was so fast that he couldn't even see what the stream of light was.
It wasn't until there was a strange noise behind him that he looked back and realized that an arrow had shot into the wall of the loess rammed city. The entire arrow was halfway in, and its tail was still trembling.

Wang Ran's expression changed slightly, and he recognized it as his martial arts chasing wind arrow.

And it has reached the point of mastery.

"Second Young Master Wang, how does my Wind Chasing Arrow compare to yours?" a voice sounded.

Wang Ran turned around again.

In the yard, Chen Mo was pointing his bow and arrow at him.

Wang Ran was so frightened that he quickly hid behind the brave guard who brought him here.

"call out!"

The bow string was fully drawn, Chen Mo loosened his fingers, and the sharp arrow flew out like a brown lightning. There was only a snap sound, and it shot through the arrow nailed to the wall, leaving the previous arrow in the wall. After being shot in, the second arrow took the place of the first arrow.

And the walls around the arrows were cracked.

"Second Young Master Wang, you haven't answered my question yet."

Chen Mo took out the third arrow from the quiver on his back and drew the bow to full capacity.

The brave guard standing in front of Wang Ran quickly got out of the way.

"No, no," Wang Ran broke out in a cold sweat and said quickly, "Master Chen has an extraordinary talent. In just a few days, his wind-chasing archery skill has surpassed mine. I admire him."

Chen Mo put down his bow and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Second Young Master. Come in, I have something to tell you."

Wang Ran walked into the courtyard tremblingly. Chen Mo patted Wang Ran on the shoulder, and the latter immediately took two steps back in fright.

"Second Young Master, don't be afraid. I told you I won't kill you." Chen Mo handed the bow to the brave guard at the side, then put his arm around Wang Ran's shoulders and entered the living room.

"Sit down." Chen Mo invited Wang Ran to sit down.

Wang Ran would not obey otherwise.

"I won't beat around the bush." ​​Chen Mo poured a glass of water for Wang Ran and said immediately, "I'm going to let your two concubines and children go back."

Wang Ran had just taken the water glass and was about to drink it. When he heard this, his eyes widened, wondering what Chen Mo wanted to do.

Chen Mo continued: "I want to ask the second young master to write two autographed letters. One autographed letter says: If your father can pay [-] yuan as a ransom, I will let you go. The second autographed letter, I want to ask Your father will be my internal correspondent, the internal correspondent of the Heavenly Master Army."

Hearing this, Wang Ran's expression changed completely: "You have taken refuge in the Heavenly Master Thief?"

"That's right." Chen Mo said, "I can also tell you a piece of news. In less than ten days, the Tianshi Army will be able to reach Pingting County. The time left for your Wang family is running out."

"Then you are not afraid that Mr. Chang will find out, be on guard, and then use his plan." Wang Ran said.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Your first handwritten letter was just for him to read."

Wang Ran didn't understand.

But Chen Mo didn't explain much. He brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked Wang Ran to write.

……

county seat.

yamen.

Chang Yuan must have known the news of Xia Lin's fall before the people in the city, but his transfer order has not been issued for a long time.

In the absence of the transfer order, Chang Yuan, as the head of a county, would abandon the city and escape.That's a serious crime. Even if you lose your official title, you may even risk your life, and you have to take advantage of your family.

His teacher understood this and chose to die for his country in order to save his family.

Otherwise, as the prefect of a state, it would be easy for the people to escape regardless.

At this moment, Chang Yuan was like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't sleep and had no appetite for food.

It was not that he had never thought of surrendering to the Tianshi Army, but Chang Yuan shuddered when he thought of the fate of Fengxian, Xia Lin and other county magistrates.

Because after the rebels attacked the city, the first thing they did was kill officials to calm the people's anger and shake people's hearts.

At this moment, the housekeeper walked in and said, "Sir, the two concubines of the second son of the Wang family outside the city are back and want to enter the city."
