In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

"Let's go back to Xiaopao Town and stay for a while. There is also our yard there. You can live there for a while."

Chen Mo drove up the carriage and explained to Zhao Yu in the carriage.

The courtyard in Xiaopao Town is a thatched house, and the environment is slightly worse than the bluestone courtyard in Zhuniuji.

However, Zhao Yu only stayed there for a short period of time this time, a month or two at most, so there was no need to buy another yard.

Even if you buy a new house, you still have to make renovations and move it, which will only take more time.

Just stay in the old house for a while.

"Is something going to happen?" She leaned out of the car, her tone slightly worried.

She could guess that if Chen Mo, as a salt transport envoy, suddenly left his station and returned to Xiaopao Town, something big would probably happen again.

"It's nothing serious. Just stay at home and wait for me to come back." Chen Mo smiled at her and pulled the reins to make the bad horse pull the cart change direction.

As for the war horse he was going to ride, it did carry something on its back this time, but it was just a pair of heavy armor.

Chen Mo will most likely not use this horse when he suppresses the bandits. At most, he will save his energy for transportation. In a real battle formation, it will not play a big role.

It is indeed a good horse, but it is not strong enough to carry the fully armed Chen Mo.

Even if it can move on its back, it can't rush up.

After traveling for several days, Chen Mo did not go to the military camp first, but sent Zhao Yu back to Xiaopao Town first.

The thatched house had not been inhabited for several months, but they closed the doors and windows before leaving that day. Now the house is only a little old and smelly, but overall it is clean.

Chen Mo first unloaded the heavy objects from the carriage one by one, then helped Zhao Yu fetch two tanks of water, and was about to leave immediately.

"I won't help you organize the house. I have to go to the military camp as soon as possible."

He explained softly and got on the carriage as he spoke.

The war was now imminent, and he didn't know when it would be launched. He had to rush back to the camp.

"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back at home." Zhao Yu was worried in his heart and didn't know what to say, but he still warned him as usual.

"Don't worry." Chen Mo gave her a reassuring smile and drove away in a hurry.

Martial law has begun in the military camp. Chen Mo has arranged the defense of the military camp. It can be seen at a glance that the military camp at this time is very different from usual.

Even though the soldiers responsible for guarding the camp gate knew Chen Mo, they still dare not let him into the camp without permission.

He hurried to report, and after receiving the order, he opened the camp door and welcomed Chen Mo in.

The training of many soldiers in the military camp has also stopped, and all soldiers are preparing for war.

Packing armor, arranging bows and arrows, and maintaining weapons, many of these things are usually done by auxiliary soldiers, but now they have to check them again.

Only when they go to the battlefield with something they have personally inspected can they feel at ease.

Even if there is occasional training, it is only to ensure that the body bones are not loose and will never tire them.

After ordering people to send the armor and weapons to his barracks, and the carriage and horses to the stables to take care of them, Chen Mo went straight to the study.

There was already a person in the study, it was Xu Dabao. When he saw Chen Mo coming, he showed an honest and simple smile.

"Okay, you go down first." Seeing Chen Mo walking into the study, Sun Shouren ordered Xu Dabao.

He knew in his heart that there were some things that he couldn't leave to himself and had to be left to Chen Mo.

Xu Dabao had no intention of prying more, so he nodded lightly to Chen Mo, turned around and retreated.

Just do your own thing in the military camp. It's not a good habit to ask about what others are going to do.

"The army will set out in three days to head to Anyang Mansion to encircle Du Tiandao. Be prepared."

As Xu Dabao left, Sun Shouren spoke slowly.

"Aren't the other Xiang troops in our house going with us?" Chen Mo actually already guessed the answer.

Since his adoptive father only allowed him to come back and not to take charge of an army on his own, there was no doubt that the army in the mansion would not be mobilized for this encirclement and suppression.

"That's right. We don't need those Xiang troops for this encirclement and suppression, only the 400 personal soldiers and 800 combat soldiers under my account."

Sun Shouren opened his mouth to explain that the so-called fighting soldiers are those soldiers who have not been successfully selected as personal soldiers, but still have a certain value in training.

In the subsequent training, those with outstanding performance can be promoted to the personal barracks.

Those who are not outstanding can be regarded as soldiers capable of fighting after a long period of training. When they are on the battlefield, they can provide support to their own soldiers.

"It's okay if we don't mobilize the Xiang troops. It would be troublesome if we really use them."

Chen Mo made a judgment. He knew a lot about the Xingyuan Prefecture Xiang Army, but there was basically no training. They might not be able to handle it well if they were stationed in place, let alone going on an expedition.

If you really want to take them to fight, just rush from Xingyuan Mansion to Anyang Mansion, even if you run away with them dead, you don't know how many people will be missing, maybe they will be defeated before they get there.

What's more, a considerable number of Xiangjun actually only live on the ledger.

The Ministry of War had a mouthful of free pay, his adoptive father had another mouthful, and his lieutenants had another mouthful.

Senior officials eat large portions, while junior officials eat small portions.

Of the 35,000 registered Xiang troops, it would be good if we could finally pull out 12,300, but there must be many old, weak, sick and disabled among them.

Such a Xiang army, which has never been trained and is no different from ordinary farmers, not to mention 3,000 people, even 5,000 people are no match for 400 soldiers.

"Yes, this will save you some energy." Sun Shouren nodded in agreement.

Xiangjun is a confused account.

Not only did he receive an empty salary, the former guard, the former guard also received it, and none of the ministers and ministers of the Ministry of War did not receive it.

If we really want to mobilize, it might be troublesome for everyone, so it would be better to stay still.

"This time, in addition to us, the guards from Baoning and Leye will also lead their own troops to encircle Tiandao.

As for the local guard of Anyang Mansion, they will also mobilize personal soldiers and the army in the mansion to assist, but it is hard to say whether he can trust it. "

Sun Shouren lowered his voice when he said this. Dutian Dao Sect is growing in Anyang Mansion, and most of the power is also in Anyang Mansion.

The guarding of Anyang Mansion is bound to be guilty of oversight anyway.

The court has even suspected whether he has any dealings with Dutiandao disciples, but no evidence has been found yet, so it is difficult to investigate directly.

Letting him participate in the encirclement and suppression of Du Tiandao this time also gave him an opportunity to make up for his mistakes.

And if the guard shows any hesitation during the encirclement and suppression, then the strong patrolmen will kill him on the spot.

"With your strength, you can't lead the troops. How about putting on heavy armor and being a vanguard?" Sun Shouren did not intend to let Chen Mo lead the troops because he was too strong.

Let him lead a team of people to fight, which is not a help but a burden to him.

Unless all of his men are at least as strong as Mo Hu, no one will be able to keep up with him once he charges into the formation.

"It all depends on the foster father's arrangements." Chen Mo bowed his hands and saluted.

Being a vanguard is dangerous, but the rewards are also great. Looking at the entire military camp, it is most appropriate to be a vanguard based on your own strength.

"But when you charge, don't get carried away. I'm asking you to be a vanguard, not to die."

Sun Shouren looked very cautious. This sentence was not an instruction, but a pure order.

"Understood." Chen Mo said seriously.

With his strength, even if he is a pioneer, as long as he does not meet the Taoist head-on, his life will not be in danger.

What's more, being a vanguard doesn't mean charging immediately. There will be two or three rounds of arrow rain as cover before charging.

"Okay, you go down and get ready. If you have nothing important to do these days, you are not allowed to leave the military camp without authorization." Sun Shouren waved his hand.

Although the encirclement and suppression of Tiandao was not a big battle, as the leader of an army, he still had too many things to do before the war started.

Two days passed by in a flash, and the army officially set off, with thousands of people rushing to Anyang Mansion together.

The combat effectiveness of an army can be seen from the simplest way.

Whether the rules and regulations can be enforced, no one will be left behind.

Thousands of people walked for more than ten days across more than 700 miles, all the way to Anyang Mansion. Some were injured and killed in accidents, but no one was left behind, which shows how elite they are.

"Everyone rests where they are, and they will bury the pot and make rice in an hour."

Sun Shouren looked at the soldiers who had been working hard all the way and looked quite satisfied.

There are some veterans in the camp, but most of them are new recruits. They have only been fully trained for only one year. With such performance, they can be regarded as quite good.

Anyone who is still alive after the next battle can be called a veteran.

"Mo Hu, go and set up security to prevent enemy attacks." Sun Shouren ordered to Mo Hu who was standing aside.

The mobilization of the army cannot hide it at all, Dutiandaomen must know that they are coming now.

Now they only have two options: to sneak attack when the large army is exhausted, or to hide in the Cave Heaven Paradise and stick to it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with sending out scouts to warn in advance.

"Here, these are the talismans distributed by Supervisor Tiansi. When attached to weapons, they can break the evil spells of Nadu Tiandao disciples. Each of you can take two."

Sun Shouren took out another hundred and ten talismans and distributed them to Chen Mo and other warriors with certain strength in the military camp.

Du Tiandao has qi masters, and the imperial court naturally has them, so they can naturally come up with talismans to counteract evil spells. There is no need for warriors like Chen Mo to use qi and blood to break evil spells.

Chen Mo got the talisman and carefully put it on his weapon.

Everyone rested for only more than an hour before the scouts reported back.

A large group of rebels appeared in the northwest, numbering at least three thousand.

In fact, the entire Anyang Mansion is already in chaos now. The rebels at Dutian Dao Sect are like a wildfire, burning everywhere.

Although the imperial court was prepared in advance, it could only control most of the county towns from falling.

The remaining countryside, towns and two county towns are now filled with a large number of Du Tiandao rebels.

Many soldiers in the military camp quickly prepared, and Chen Mo also put on heavy armor, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, and stood in front of the military formation as the vanguard.

The rebel army was only a mile away from them at this time.

The rebel army is really in disarray. Most of them don't even have any serious weapons. As for iron armor, it's even less likely. They don't even have leather or cloth armor.

There was no command plan when marching, and they just rushed forward with their heads down.

Only the three to four hundred young men who were charging forward could still be considered capable of fighting.

Chen Mo glanced around and found seventeen or eight warriors of all Tiandao. As for whether there were Taoists present, it was not clear for the time being.

"Shoot!" Sun Shouren ordered loudly.

Thousands of soldiers took up bows and shot arrows, and a single salvo was worth hundreds of taels of silver.

Although part of the arrow can be recovered, it can only be used for throwing.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the rebel army was already on the verge of defeat before Chen Mo set out.

Only those invulnerable warriors dared to continue charging.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The military drum sounds three times in a row, which means the vanguard rushes into the formation, and the rest follow.

Chen Mo was wearing heavy armor and suddenly charged forward. His target was very clear, those Dutiandao warriors.

Sun Shouren couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Chen Mo's speed. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that Chen Mo's current strength was definitely more than the two thousand kilograms he had before.

Of course, he couldn't judge in detail how much it was, it couldn't be seen with just eyesight.

It seems that in the past month or so, his adopted son has not been idle, and his strength has actually improved.

But this is normal, after all, he bought a few bottles of elixirs last time, and he still has a lot of remaining mirages on hand.

After using up all these things, it is normal for his strength to increase.

The rest of the soldiers, whether they were familiar with Chen Mo or not, all had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Only Mo Hu looked calm and indifferent. He knew Chen Mo's true strength long ago.

Seeing the uninformed and surprised expressions of his companions beside him, Mo Hu couldn't help but smile. It seemed that apart from his adoptive father, he was the only one who knew the true strength of his thirteenth brother in advance.

Chen Mo was killing very quickly, killing two warriors with one shot, and cutting off several rebels with one sweep of his spear.

Qing Zhuang, who was originally walking in the front, was now running for his life, but compared to him, he was still too slow.

Of the more than 3,000 rebels, 672 were eventually beheaded, and the rest surrendered.

Chen Mo alone killed nearly a hundred people.

This was because he had some reservations and most of the rebels surrendered relatively quickly, otherwise he would have killed more people.

After cleaning the battlefield, collect the weapons of the rebels, divide them into small groups, and hand them over to the local army or county government for temporary custody.

It is ominous to kill and surrender, and these surrendered troops will be dealt with by the imperial court.

After the battle, many soldiers repaired themselves briefly, collected the bodies of several companions who had unfortunately died, and then rushed to the next battlefield again.

In the next ten days, there would be a fight every one or two days.

Sun Shouren also led his army to recapture a city. Chen Mo was the first to scale the city wall and was credited with being the first to do so.

In the end, the imperial army gathered in front of the Dongtian Blessed Land at Dutian Daomen, intending to launch a general attack.
