Chapter 277 Chen Mo has become a hot cake

Late November.

Toyosu.

Since King Qin's army failed to attack Xu Guozhong, King Qin's army fell apart and retreated. The Tianshi army realized that it could not fight against King Huai's army head-on, and also retreated from Shan County to Fengzhou.

In the commander's tent of the three armies in Fengzhou City.

Celestial Master Luo Guang is sitting at the top, and almost all the thirty-six square Qushuai are gathered here.

Although in the previous crusade against Fengzhou, 50,000 troops were sent to raid Huaizhou, resulting in the death of many Qushuai in battle, but Luo Guang soon made people take the vacant position of Qushuai.

Again, at the beginning of the incident, Luo Guang was quite wise. He made rules, made clear rewards and punishments, ate and lived with the soldiers of the Heavenly Master, and humbly accepted the suggestions below. However, after sweeping the Northland, his true nature was exposed. , insisted on going his own way, indulging his subordinates, and the people of large families in many places were slaughtered, causing the people to panic.

There is also disunity within the Tianshi Army.

This makes the quality of the Tianshi Army's troops worse and worse. Coupled with the spread of this bad reputation, some people with lofty ideals and some capable people will not join the Tianshi Army at all.

This led to the fact that most of the people who later took over the position of Commander Qu were in the fifth and sixth grades, and their quality was uneven.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief who took over did not focus on cultivating the army and caring for the people. If they were not fighting, they would indulge in wine and sex, and be drunk all day long.

This led to the outbreak of several civilian riots in Fengzhou against the Tianshi Army.

Of course, they all ended in failure.

Luo Guang gathered all his commanders together because the news of the Oath of the Huaihe River reached his ears.

Luo Guang was very angry when he learned that Chen Mo had disobeyed his order and raided Linzhou instead of sending troops to Longyou.

Because this means that the other party no longer respects him as the master and has the intention to break away from the Tianshi Army.

But at that time, his confidant General Wan Zhen told him that the general was away and military orders were not obeyed. Perhaps Chen Mo raided Linzhou because he saw that Longyou was not easy to fight.

He also said that this matter is good news for the Tianshi Army. Linzhou and Huaizhou are separated by the Huaihe River. With Chen Mo's tribe threatening Huaizhou, it will be difficult for the Huai King to lead his army to deal with the Tianshi Army. He must always worry about the rear. In this way, the pressure on the Tianshi Army will be much less.

In addition, Chen Mo's battle report has not been handed over yet, so he was asked to wait for Chen Mo's battle report and see what the other party said.

As a result, the battle report was not received, but the news came that the other party was named Marquis of Pingting County and appointed as General of the Western Expedition.

Suddenly, Chen Mo, a subordinate, had a higher official position and title than him.

This shows that Chen Mo did not submit the battle report to him, but sent it to the Luonan court to ask for credit.

This meaning is already obvious.

I just had to stand in front of him and say, I want to start my own business.

Luo Guang was very angry at that time.

The Tianshi Army has grown to such a large scale now. Although there are cliques within, no one dares to disobey his orders, let alone break away from the army and set up their own business. This is simply a slap in his face.

At that time, Luo Guang was so angry that he wanted to send troops to attack Chen Mo.

But after thinking about the admonitions from his subordinates and thinking about it himself, Luo Guang gave up the idea.

Nowadays, the number one enemy of the Tianshi Army is King Huai's Long Ce Army, as well as some forces allied with King Huai. It is really difficult to create another enemy for themselves.

Now Chen Mo's power has spread across three states, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses (this is Chen Mo's exaggerated declaration. In order to better recruit talents, many armies in ancient times would over-promote their military strength when fighting.), it is no longer Like a candle, it can be extinguished with just a pinch, so it's not that easy to deal with.

If he could bear all this, Luo Guang couldn't bear the Oath of the Huaihe River.

Although the two sides signed a non-aggression treaty on the Huaihe River.

However, the content of the treaty was not announced, which made Luo Guang, who didn't know much about it, think that the two parties had formed an alliance.

Luo Guang looked around at Qushuai below and said, "What do you think of this oath of the Huaihe River?"

Except for a few reckless men, most of those who can become Qu Commanders have some military acumen.

Wan Zhen was the first to speak: "Huitianshi, although we don't know the contents of the treaty between them, but from the name of the treaty, mutual non-aggression, we can roughly know that this is a treaty of friendship, guaranteeing that the two sides will not fight each other with weapons.

If the disciples didn’t guess, King Huai plans to use his full strength to deal with us. "

Wan Zhen was once Luo Guang's Taoist boy and his disciple.

"Wan Shuai's words make sense. What we need to worry about is that Chen Mo has formed an alliance with King Huai and will send troops with King Huai. Qingzhou is behind us and is also separated by a river." A Qu Commander said:

"So my subordinates suggest that a line of defense be established north of Fengzhou to prevent Chen's army from raiding our rear when our army is facing the Huaiwang army head-on."

Wan Zhen and Qu Shuai looked at each other and nodded. They both had the same idea.

But some people have different opinions. A Dafang Qushuai with a fourth-level strength said:

"Now the people in the army are uneasy. Something like Chen Mo happened again, which caused our army to lose face to the Heavenly Master. If the news spreads, it will also make the people in the army panic. In addition, King Huai and Chen Mo signed a non-aggression treaty. It's just that we don't want to be attacked from both sides, and now our army is also in a situation of being attacked from both sides." As he spoke, his face became serious: "Therefore, whether it is to save face, shock the world, or to stabilize the rear area so that our army has no worries, we should take advantage of the opportunity. Before the navy was gone, Chen Jun sent troops to recapture Qingzhou and stationed troops there."

"inappropriate."

As soon as these words came out, he was immediately opposed by Wan Zhen: "It is winter now, and it will soon enter December. The cold weather in the north will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of our army. Once Qingzhou is not captured in a short time, , when the heavy snow is coming, our army will be in trouble.

Once King Huai sends troops to us at this time, it will be difficult to resist. And after the spring begins to recapture Qingzhou, King Huai, who has solved his worries, will definitely send troops to us at this time. Therefore, it is not suitable to send troops to Qingzhou either now or after the spring begins. "

"If we don't move troops, why don't we sit back and wait for death?" Qu Shuai, who proposed to take Qingzhou back, asked.

"No." Wan Zhen shook his head, then raised his hand to Luo Guang, and said: "Tianshi, I was selected to send troops to Qingzhou. I was selected because I sent an envoy to contact Chen Mo to inquire about the content of the Huaihe River Oath. Make sure that when Huaihe launches troops against our army, he will not come to cause trouble.

The best option is to sign a non-aggression treaty between our army and him. "

As soon as these words came out, there was an explosion in the big tent.

Even Luo Guang's expression was a little gloomy.

The current situation was all caused by Chen Mo.

If the other party had attacked Longyou according to his plan, things like today would never have happened.

Now that things happened, the other party did not explain to him or bow his head to ask for forgiveness. Instead, they took the initiative to seek peace and bowed their heads first.

Who would not be disgusted by such an aggrieved thing?

"Our army has been bullied to the face by this little thief, but now we are asked to express goodwill on the face. Isn't this mean?" said a young Fang Qushuai.

"Then do you have a better way?" Qushuai, who had the same idea as Wan Zhen, said to this little Fang Qushuai.

The latter was silent, and after a moment he murmured: "Then you can't do such an embarrassing thing."

You say something to me.

In the end, Luo Guanglai had to make up his mind, and all Qu Shuai's eyes looked at Luo Guang.

Luo Guang's expression changed rapidly. After careful consideration, he said: "As a human being, to endure what one cannot endure and endure what one cannot bear is to be wise and a man.

Therefore, Pindao decided to send an envoy to Yuzhou to negotiate with Chen Mo. "

After the matter was settled, Luo Guang immediately sent followers of the Tianshi Sect across the river to Yuzhou.

Beidi, Chuanhai, Nangong family.

What happened during this period also reached Nangong Jin's ears.

It was the same as what Nangong Jin said at that time.

King Qin's army is composed of many forces and parties. They seem to be united, but in fact they are inseparable and have an undercurrent. Now it seems that they all speak the same language.

As Nangong Jin's virtuous wife, Mrs. Zhang looked at the news coming from the front and said: "I never expected that Chen Mo, who appeared in the Tianshi Army's military residence newspaper, was still a young general under Yang Minggui. Now, He actually grew up to be the leader of the three states. He was worshiped as General Zhengxi, and was granted the title of Marquis of Pingting County. His title was higher than that of the leader of the Tianshi Army, and he had more than 100,000 troops."

Even Zhang, who had seen many big scenes, couldn't help but click his tongue at this moment.

How long has it been since?

Only a year

Nangong Jin sighed and frowned: "The matter with King Qin has come to an end, and now that the non-aggression treaty has been signed, this means that King Huai plans to free up his hands to deal with the Tianshi Army.

Even Xu Guozhong was beaten by King Huai and moved his capital. How can the Tianshi Army be the opponent of King Huai? The situation is not optimistic."

He thought about it, looked at his wife, and said softly: "Madam, you told me back then that we should find a way out for ourselves."

Zhang Shi nodded: "I refused at that time."

"I refused at that time because the hope of the Tianshi Army was still quite high, but now, I can no longer see its hope, and it has withdrawn from Qingzhou and is beyond our reach." Nangong Jin stood up Come, carrying both sides: "Madam, the time has come to find a way out."

"Prince Huai?" Zhang asked.

Nangong Jin shook his head: "We are deeply involved with the Tianshi Army. If we surrender to King Huai at this time, even if we are not liquidated, we will not be taken seriously. There are so many talents around King Huai, it is difficult for us to get ahead."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Vote to Chen Mo." Nangong Jin's eyes became firm: "He broke away from the Tianshi Army and is our best choice. And since he wants to set up his own business, he must be short of people around him. This person is different from Luo Guang. If you know how to govern, you should be able to go longer than the Heavenly Master Army."

"Then I will write a letter to Brother Feng right now."

"Don't move Zhang Feng, we'll send someone else." Nangong Jin raised his hand, he also wanted to try hedging his bet.
