Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 180 The Ambush

Then a sound like a mosquito's voice came into my ears.

Chen Mo felt his heart wandering.

That feeling was more fulfilling than when she surrendered before.

The daughter of the magistrate who used to call her a bastard when she opened her mouth, but a pariah when she kept her mouth shut, was conquered by him just like that.

Unfortunately, Xia Zhining was wearing leather armor at the moment, so Chen Mo couldn't take advantage.

"County Magistrate, something happened."

While Chen Mo was still holding Xia Zhining in his arms, Sun Meng's voice sounded outside the hospital.

Xia Zhining quickly pushed Chen Mo away, and the two separated some distance.

Chen Mo walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and Sun Meng immediately handed over the Tang Dao and said: "Our soldiers fought with the Hujie Army. The reason is that when our people were patrolling, the Hujie Army said something about us. The soldiers were monks, and they probably had never tasted women, so our people started to argue with them.

Then a scolding war broke out. The people from the Hujie Army scolded you, the county magistrate, and then Han Wu led the Shenyong Guards to take action. "

After the report, Sun Meng talked about his personal opinions: "County magistrate, don't blame Captain Han and the others. It's really the people from the Hujie Army who have gone too far. During this period, the Hujie Army was the first to provoke them every time. Well, this time Captain Han and the others couldn’t bear it any longer, so that’s why”

"Who won?" Chen Mo said suddenly.

Sun Meng was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "Captain Han and the others won. The people in the Hujie Army are having sex with women every day and don't train. How can they be our opponents?"

"Is anyone dead?"

Sun Meng was stunned again, then shook his head.

"It's really useless. How did I teach them before? Either they can endure it and not do it. If they do, they will die." Chen Mo said: "Take me there."

Sun Meng led the way and said: "But after all, we are in the name of the Heavenly Master Army now. If it is broad daylight, we will..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Mo interrupted: "They don't regard us as their own."

……

Chen Mo's army and Yuan Youchun are currently stationed in this dilapidated city to rest and recuperate. There is only a street between the military camps between the two sides.

At present, the chaos has stopped, and the streets are already crowded with people. The Shenyong Guards and Shenwu Guards have set up their formations, ready to prepare for the attack of the Hujie Army at any time.

Yuan Youchun and Bai Su had already arrived. When they saw Chen Mo coming, they immediately led others over and said, "I thought the big ones of you couldn't come out and wanted the younger ones to come out."

Stopping a few feet away from Chen Mo, Yuan Youchun pointed to a soldier below who had been beaten to a bloody head and said: "Chen Mo, your people hit our people first, this time there are no Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes are watching, are you trying to deny it?"

"The county magistrate."

"The county magistrate."

"."

Han Wu and the other brave guards who had just taken action all looked at Chen Mo with a guilty conscience and lowered their heads.

Just when they thought Chen Mo would blame him, Chen Mo said: "Good fight."

Han Wu and others were stunned.

Yuan Youchun's face darkened: "Chen Mo, what do you mean?"

"Yuan Youchun, your special mother-in-law is pretending to be here with me. Do you think I don't know that you are making trouble? If you have the ability, come at me with real swords and do such nasty things that even children would do. Be careful to give birth to a child without a butthole." Chen Mo said.

"Presumptuous, Chen Mo, who are you talking to?" Bai Su shouted angrily.

"Everyone with ears knows who I'm talking about. Only people without ears are still asking here." Chen Mo didn't pay attention to Bai Su at all, and turned to ask Han Wu if they were injured. .

Yuan Youchun's face was as gloomy as water, and he said coldly: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to start a war with our army?"

"Let's start a war. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Yuan Youchun, I've had enough of you during this period. If you have the guts, just come." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and pulled out the Tang Sword.

The Divine Brave Guards and Divine Martial Guards behind them all immediately took up their postures and faced each other tit for tat.

Because the attack on Yuzhou went so smoothly, no resistance was encountered along the way. Chen Mo's 2000 troops did not suffer any casualties, and their overall quality far exceeded that of Hu Jie's army. In a real fight, Chen Mo was not weak at all. .

Seeing this, Hu Jie's army also became commotion and put up a posture.

However, compared to the Divine Guards and Divine Warrior Guards, their response was too slow, and their queues were also crooked.

The two armies immediately became at war with each other.

Yuan Youchun looked gloomy. He would definitely not dare to start a fight. After all, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at him. If word spread, it would be a fight among themselves. He would not be able to explain to Qu Shuai.

And from beginning to end, it was indeed Hu Jiejun who made the first choice.

Although the other party made the first move, no one died after all, so it could only be regarded as a minor friction. It would obviously be inappropriate to start a war just because of this excuse.

But Yuan Youchun's momentum must not be weakened, and said: "I don't dare, general, but you dare? If you have the guts, why don't you try to fight first?"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. Indeed, he did not dare to start a war openly and openly, but he was unforgiving and cursed a fool.

"You" Yuan Youchun pointed at Chen Mo's nose, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said: "No matter what, it was you who made the move first. My people were beaten like this by your people. You must give an explanation, otherwise I will Let Qu Shuai make the decision."

"You have to explain, right?"

Chen Mo dug into his waist, took out a few copper coins, threw them at Yuan Youchun's feet, and said, "This is the medical expense I paid, if it's not enough"

With that said, Chen Mo gestured to Sun Meng, who immediately understood and took out a few copper plates and threw them at Yuan Youchun's feet.The brave guards who had just participated in the attack also followed the same example and threw two coins each.

After careful calculation, there is quite a lot of money.

"This is my explanation." Chen Mo said.

"Okay, very good. I will definitely report this matter to Qu Shuai and let him punish you." Yuan Youchun said angrily.

"I am waiting."

So the conflict stopped.

Who doesn't know how to file a complaint? Chen Mo summarized all the evidence that Hu Jiejun provoked trouble that he had collected in the past few days and reported it to Yang Minggui.

However, after this incident, the two armies completely broke up.

Chen Mo couldn't wait to do it, so he led his team to break away from Hujie's army that day.

Of course, he couldn't turn back.

Because according to the order from above, the entire Yuzhou was captured.

Therefore, he can break away from Yuan Youchun, but he cannot escape before the battle. This battle still has to be fought.

For example, the next target is Shiling County. Although he broke away from Yuan Youchun, he still had to attack Shiling County with Yuan Youchun's Hujie Army according to the order, but now he has broken up and will not go all the way.

Chen Mo no longer needs to cooperate with Yuan Youchun, he only needs to capture Shiling County.

According to the orders from above, they must capture Shiling County before August 25th.

This place is the transportation hub of Yuzhou. There is Shiling Mountain in the north and Shiling Pass on the mountain. The terrain is so dangerous that only a single carriage can pass through.

Hu Jie's army arrived fifty miles away in Shiling County ahead of Chen Mo. It was already August 22.

Due to the success of the previous attack on Quanyang County and other counties, there was almost no resistance throughout the process. In addition, the prefect of Yuzhou had already responded to King Qin's army.

This made Yuan Youchun think that Yuzhou's combatable army had already left Yuzhou, and Shiling County would be easily captured by them like the previous cities and counties.

Therefore, instead of carving up the interests of Shiling County with Chen Mo's army, Yuan Youchun might as well take the lead, occupy Shiling County, and raid Shiling County on his own.

Chen Mo also understood Yuan Youchun's plan, but instead of competing with Yuan Youchun, he took the initiative to slow down the march.

It is said that others are greedy and I am afraid.

This journey has been too smooth. They have reached deep into the hinterland of Yuzhou and there is no decent army to resist. Chen Mo always feels that something is wrong and the battle line is too long.

It's better to be careful.

Even if his prediction was wrong, at worst, it would be divided up by Yuan Youchun alone, and he would have nothing to lose.

On the other side, although the vigilance in his heart has decreased a lot, Yuan Youchun, as the commander-in-chief, is still wary.

But as Hujie's army successfully passed Shiling Pass, Yuan Youchun's guard was gone.

The danger of Shiling County lies in Shiling Pass. Now even Shiling Pass is not guarded. This Shiling County is not in their possession yet.

"Brothers, this Shiling County is a big county, with a population of more than 2 in the city. We are blessed." Yuan Youchun put down his words.

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Hujie Army began to celebrate in advance.

As a general, Yuan Youchun still had some sense. The soldiers had walked all the way, so they did not launch an attack on Shiling County on the same day. They still followed the old rules, rest one night and attack tomorrow.

The sun began to set, and just when Yuan Youchun ordered to set up camp, he suddenly heard the rumble of horse hooves on the distant horizon.

Yuan Youchun was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, the spies sent out to guard him came to report that they had discovered a cavalry unit.

Yuan Youchun's expression changed.

cavalry?

Yang Qushuai did not have cavalry in his hands.

Now that soldiers are suddenly found, they can only be officers and soldiers.

While he was thinking, there was already a commotion in the rear army. The soldiers in the rear army looked back and saw a commander's flag standing high on the hillside, with the word "Liang" written above the commander's flag.

The next moment, their expressions changed, and they saw billowing dust and smoke rising from not far away, and then a cavalry came straight towards them, and war drums sounded around them.

Then on the hillside, dense black shadows appeared, wearing black armor.

There were experienced veterans who immediately understood and there was an ambush among them.

The cavalry charge was quite methodical. Even during the charge, a team was still separated and rushed directly to Bai Kuan's headquarters where the leader of the Hujie Army was located.

When Yuan Youchun saw the officers and soldiers on the surrounding hillsides, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Shiling Pass was not unguarded, but an ambush opening, deliberately letting them in.

And the cavalry that appeared in their rear at this moment was to block this opening.

"Reject the horse formation, quickly deploy the repelling horse formation!" Yuan Youchun shouted.

But the sound of horse hooves and the sound of war drums around them drowned out Yuan Youchun's shouts.
