Chapter 215 Lu Sheng

When Song Min brought the hot water, Chen Mo also piled up the snowman, which was nothing more than rolling two balls and stacking them on top of each other.

When making snowmen, Chen Mo even found a bit of the fun he had as a child.

"Brother Mo, the hot water is here." Song Min came over with a wooden basin, which was still steaming.

Not only did she bring hot water, she also brought Chen Mo toiletries.

Chen Mo asked Song Min to place the wooden basin on the ground, then scooped out a cup of clean hot water and put it aside. Then he tested the water temperature, put some snow in it, and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Song Min obediently stretched out her hands. Her fingers were a little red and swollen from playing in the snow.

Chen Mo grabbed her hands and put them into the wooden basin.

"Ah, it's so itchy." Song Min subconsciously retracted her hand, but Chen Mo held it down.

"Bubbles, look at how swollen your hands are, play less in the snow, or your hands will get rotten." Chen Mo was not kidding, there were many people at the bottom who suffered from chilblains.

Song Min was quieter and looked at Chen Mo's side face. His face was slightly red and his big eyes were curved into crescents.

"Okay, you can soak it yourself."

Chen Mo didn't have any inappropriate thoughts about the little girl. He got up and walked aside to wash up.

In the neighbors, people gradually got up. When they saw Chen Mo when they went out, they all greeted him with enthusiasm and awe, calling Chen Xianshi or the county magistrate.

Wisps of smoke rise from the top of the chimney. As the temperature inside the house rises, the snow on the roof turns into water droplets, and finally converges into water flow, dripping from the roof like rain.

Chen Mo found a fairly handy hunting bow, carried bundles of feather arrows to the back mountain, and started shooting.

Chen Mo's goal is to shoot a thousand arrows a day. In this case, it won't be a problem for the Cloud Chasing Arrow to break through before spring.

With the improvement of his strength, Chen Mo's physique and endurance have naturally improved a lot, so he won't cry tired after a short period of ejaculation.

The morning time is like an arrow shot out of a string, gone and never returned, gone in the blink of an eye.

……

a few days later.

December 8th.

The disciples of Tianshi arrived in Quanyang County on the 4th and officially appointed Chen Mo as one of the thirty-six Fangqu Commanders. He took over Song Niu's position as the Xiaofangqu Commander. Song Niu's territory in Qingzhou was also handed over to Chen Mo. Mo jurisdiction.

Since Chen Mo was not in Quanyang County, Sun Meng helped pick him up. He gave Chen Mo an excuse to go deep into Yuzhou to inquire about information, sent away the followers of Tianshi, and then came to Pingting County immediately.

So when Chen Mo learned about it, it was already four days later on the 8th.

After reading the letter, Chen Mo immediately gave Sun Meng the order to withdraw his troops.

Let Sun Meng come back with the troops from Quanyang County and station them in Qingting County. The houses there are almost ready, and part of them can be set aside as a military camp.

As for Song Niu's original territory, it was basically destroyed by Song Niu's army.

Chen Mo didn't take it to heart at first, but suddenly thought of something.

Most of the Tianshi Army has no base, so wherever these troops go, they will carry their family wealth with them.

But in Tianshui Town.

Chen Mo only discovered Lu Yonggang's family background.

But the family backgrounds of people like Song Niu, Li Gan, and Huang Da were not seen.

Therefore, Chen Mo had reason to suspect that their family fortune was probably hidden in the territory where they were originally stationed.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately ordered Li Yunzhang, Wei Qing, Lu Yuan, and Hu Qiang to take two hundred people each to check Song Niu's territory in Qingzhou. If any of Song Niu's family background is found, bring them all back intact.

……

December 10th.

Hedong area. There are a total of twenty-one forces in King Qin's army, large and small. Of course, the leaders of these twenty-one forces are all famous figures in the Song Dynasty. If you include those who are not well-known, they all exceed fifty.

Among them, the most powerful one is of course King Huai. Not only does he have the most troops, but he also has many supporters. The seven famous families, Xiao and Liang, have openly supported King Huai.

The smallest one has only one or two hundred troops.

But today, Lu Sheng, the general who had surrendered to King Qin's army and was originally Xu Guozhong's confidant, actually rebelled again and combined with the forces in King Qin's army that had been bribed by Xu Guozhong to suddenly attack King Huai's left army.

No one expected this sudden scene. In the current winter, everyone was restrained. The left army led by Xiao Chongrong was not prepared at all, and the army was in chaos. Although the other armies responded quickly and rushed to help, Still let the other party kill Xiao Chongrong and break out.

At this point, since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Chongren was the top general who died on the battlefield.

Xiao Chongren is a hussar general of the imperial court, a third-grade warrior, the uncle of King Huai, and the future head of the Xiao family.

King Huai was furious after hearing the news. In a fit of anger, he stopped caring about the rear and mobilized his army to attack Lu Sheng, who was shamelessly jumping around.

King Huai Qi Gui Qi was also politically minded and knew that many demoted generals and officials were watching him to see how he would deal with Lu Sheng.

If it is not handled well, the impact will be severe.

Moreover, Xiao Chongren is not only his confidant, but also his uncle. If he does not take revenge, even low-level people will feel cold.

Therefore, this battle must be fought well, and Lu Sheng must die.

At the same time, Zhao Hongsen, who was fleeing to the southeast of the river, also looked angry and depressed.

Zhao Hongsen's subordinate was one of the forces in King Qin's army who was bribed by Xu Guozhong. He was also Xiao Chongren's deputy general and was responsible for the left wing.

"I asked you to capture him alive. Who asked you to kill him? Do you know who he is? My special mother has been killed by you now." Zhao Hongsen roared at Lu Sheng next to him, now he was completely offended. King Huai and the Xiao family are dead.

"Xiao Chongren is a third-level warrior, and he is not a weakling. How can he be captured alive so easily?" Lu Sheng was riding on a tall horse, about eight feet tall, wearing a brown-red war robe. He was tall and had a similar face. Fu Fen, with a nose like a jade pillar, didn't look much better at this time.

He murmured in his heart, after all, he is a third-grade warrior, but he can't survive ten rounds in my hands, and only one embroidered pillow.

Lu Sheng was highly skilled in martial arts and was the number one general under Xu Guozhong. Because of this, King Huai cherished talents. After seeing Lu Sheng surrender, he did not kill him in order to set an example to the world, but he did not know that raising a tiger would be dangerous.

Zhao Hongsen knew that the facts had happened, and no matter how angry he roared, he could not change it. He was just venting his frustration.

He said: "Now that we are surrounded on three sides, we will probably be blocked by King Huai on the northeast side of the river. Do you have a way to break out of the encirclement?"

"Hmph, they are just a bunch of people who want to sell their heads. Once I show my magical power, they will all fall under the Fangtian Painted Halberd in my hands. Don't worry, with me here, I will be able to break out of the encirclement safely. They are all to the south, that is The Prime Minister's territory will be safe then." Lu Sheng said.

Zhao Hongsen felt a little relieved when he saw Lu Sheng being so confident. After all, Xiao Chongren, who was born in the Xiao family, was no match for him.

three days later.

The two were still a little slow and were surrounded by King Qin's army on three sides. Zhao Hongsen originally thought that Lu Sheng would cover him and break out together.

Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng simply threw him away and fled with his troops.

Zhao Hongsen was dumbfounded. Facing the furious King Huai, he wanted to surrender, but his throat was slit by the latter's sword. Blood spurted out, and the back of the body would become nourishment for cultivating blood ginseng.

Zhao Hongsen was originally one of the 21st troops of King Qin's army. He could have become a powerful hero, but now he has become a withered skeleton.

Although Lu Sheng escaped with his army, King Huai's army was too hard to kill.

In order to escape, Lu Sheng even abandoned his troops and rode alone, escaping from the pursuit of King Qin's army.

King Huai was furious and issued a reward order. Anyone who killed Lu Sheng could take Lu Sheng's head in exchange for high officials, ten thousand gold, and a hundred ten-year-old blood ginseng.

……

Chen Mo still doesn't know what happened in Hedong.

The soldiers guarding the city gate breathed in the mist, rubbed their hands, slowly turned the winch, and raised the thousand-jin gate.

As the city gate opened, a fast horse galloped out and headed straight for Fuze Village.
