The Nameless of the Common Clans

"This Xu Huang is not happy!" After watching Xu Huang leave, Dian Wei curled his lips and said.

"In fact, you can't beat him." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said.

"How do you know without fighting?" Dian Wei glared and said that he could do other things, but when it comes to bravery, he doesn't admit defeat to anyone, even Lu Bu. If he has the ability, he will get off the horse and see if he can fight.

"As for bravery, physical strength is very important. His axe is not light, and his strength may not be weaker than yours. It is difficult to tell the difference in martial arts without fighting, but there are actually many things to pay attention to in this fight of bravery, not just bravery and fierceness. The weather, the terrain, and even the mentality all have an impact." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled.

"Ah?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo blankly, as if it made sense, but it was elusive.

"Let me tell you this, the fighting mentality is very important. You are a generous person, easily excited, and burst out with fighting power that is not in your normal state. This is certainly a good thing, but it will also lead to excessive physical exhaustion and inability to fight for a long time. Xu Huang is indeed calmer. Maybe you will have the upper hand at the beginning, but he only needs to respond calmly. When you can't defeat him in one go, if he fights back, you will be exhausted and will naturally lose." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled, "Doesn't it make sense?"

"It seems so..." Dian Wei touched the steel needle-like beard on his chin and thought seriously.

"Do you think it is similar to what I said to Xu Huang just now?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled.

"?" Dian Wei looked at a loss.

"I'll tell you something first. It would be best if you agree with it. If you don't agree, I'll tell you another plausible truth. You will think about it at this time, and then I'll tell you some facts, but these facts are incomplete. For example, Xu Huang may not be able to hold on until you are exhausted, and Xu Huang has been frightened by your momentum. I didn't say these, but you are thinking about what I said before, and what I said is all true, so you will unconsciously agree with me." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo speechlessly: "My lord, aren't you lying?"

"But did I tell a lie?" Chen Mo said with a smile: "Speaking is a science. My teacher taught me that Xu Huang did have the intention to surrender, but he was defeated twice in a row, and he must have resentment in his heart. If I had asked him to surrender directly just now, even if he finally surrendered..."

At this point, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that his previous detention of Xu Rong did not seem to be perfect.

"How is it?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo curiously.

"Even if he surrenders in the end, he still has some grudges in his heart. I said this just to make him feel happier and more decent, so that he can be better used by me." Chen Mo smiled.

Xu Huang is a capable person, but Chen Mo doesn't believe how loyal he is to Yang Feng. When he helped Yang Ping to cover the rear, he probably had the intention to surrender to Chen Mo, and he was able to repay the favor, so that people would not think that he surrendered because Yang Feng was in dire straits.

Chen Mo could see through these thoughts, but he didn't dislike them. Who doesn't have selfishness?

Loyal people are naturally the best, but it is impossible to have loyal people under your command who are willing to die for you at any time. People with such ideas can't achieve anything great. Generally, people with ability should not care too much about their virtues, otherwise they will find that no one can use them. Xu Huang is capable, and Chen Mo is willing to use him. He fought for Chen Mo, and Chen Mo provided him with a place to display his talents. That's enough.

"I'm telling you this because I want you to use your brain when you speak in the future. Let alone Xu Huang, if I want, I can make you think that Yang Ping can beat you. As long as I don't do it, I have many ways to make you believe that you are weak." Chen Mo glared at Dian Wei and said.

Dian Wei chose to shut up. Isn't this a lie? Old Dian is now literate and can recognize the Thousand Character Classic.

Chen Mo didn't say anything else. Dian Wei is good in everything, but it's his mouth that makes you want to slap him sometimes. If you do it, he won't feel any pain. You want to punish him severely, but you can't bear it, and it's not that serious. But why do you have to use this method? There are actually many ways to torture people. If he is a bad mouth, let him know what real talking is. If it doesn't work, let him copy books. This trick can at least keep him quiet for a month.

"Lord!" Cui Geng and Cheng Fang came in and saluted Chen Mo.

"You've come just in time. Yang Feng's vanguard has been defeated. Now his army is attacking Qi County. You two will each lead 3,000 soldiers to attack Jinyang and Yangyi. His rear is empty now, and this place is not like the Baibo Valley at the beginning. The local gentry will help." Chen Mo looked at the two and smiled.

"I obey your orders!" The two received Chen Mo's order and went to mobilize troops.

Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo, but saw Chen Mo also looking at him and grinning.

"Notify all the generals to move the camp and set up camp. It is not easy for Uncle Wang to defend Qi County for three days with a thousand men. I am afraid that he will not be able to defend it any further. We will return to the city immediately and contain Yang Feng here. As long as Jinyang and Yangyi are captured, the battle of Taiyuan can also be over." Chen Mo stood up and said.

"Then the troops of Pingtao..." Dian Wei hesitated and asked.

"Don't worry about it. They may not have the courage to cross the river." Chen Mo smiled.

"Yes!" Dian Wei agreed and hurried to pass the order.

On the other hand, Yang Feng was shocked when he learned that Yang Ping was defeated. His soldiers had already captured the city, but now he was worried that Chen Mo would take advantage of the situation to attack his rear, so he quickly withdrew his troops.

At the head of Qixian City, Wang Biao looked at Yang Feng's army receding like a tide. He leaned weakly on the enemy tower, and his arm drawing the bow was a little sore. These three days had been like a nightmare for him. In order to avoid The city was broken, and Wang Biao had slept for less than three hours in the three days in total. His eyes were already bloodshot at this moment. Of the 1,000 defenders left by Chen Mo in the city, there were only about 400 left. And most of them are injured.

Looking at the lifeless soldiers around him, Wang Biao tried to stand up straight, licked his chapped lips, and wanted to say something to boost morale. But in the past three days, he said everything that could boost morale, maybe in his entire life. He hadn't said as much as he had in the past three days, and that ferocious face was full of helplessness. At this point, he really didn't know how to defend next. If the city was broken tomorrow, how could he have the face to see Chen Mo?

Just when Wang Biao was feeling dejected, a soldier suddenly rushed over and said, "General, look outside the city!"

Is there any hostility?

Wang Biao instinctively picked up the long bow beside him, and with trembling fingers, he took out a long arrow and put it on the bow. But when he took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw clearly the flags of the army appearing under the city and the people who had already run to the city. When Dian Wei shouted his name, Wang Biao's tense mood suddenly relaxed: "Hurry, the lord's reinforcements have arrived, open the city gate and welcome the lord into the city!"

"Here...general!" the general agreed, but saw that Wang Biao had fallen down, his face changed drastically, he quickly supported Wang Biao, and at the same time ordered people to open the city gate to let the main force enter the city.

…

Late at night, after Chen Mo had arranged his defense, he returned to the government office and saw a doctor coming out of Wang Biao's room and hurriedly stepped forward.

"I've met the envoy!" When the doctor saw Chen Mo, he saluted quickly.

"No need to be polite." Chen Mo stretched out his hand to support him and said in a deep voice: "How is Uncle Wang's injury?"

"General Wang is not injured." The doctor shook his head.

"You're a quack. How can you be unharmed when people are unconscious?" Dian Wei grabbed the doctor's collar and cursed angrily.

"Let go!" Chen Mo glared at Dian Wei and asked Dian Wei to let him go. Then he said softly: "Why is that?"

"Return to the envoy!" The doctor glanced at Dian Wei with some fear and bowed: "I have asked the soldiers that General Wang has only slept for an hour every day in the past three days, and he has never left the city wall for even half a step. , In addition, the battle has been fierce in the past three days, and now that you have returned victorious, the city is already stable. With your tense mind relaxed, you have fainted. You only need to rest quietly for a few days, and then take some calming herbs orally, and your body will He will recover on his own."

"I see." Chen Mo nodded and said, "Now that you're tired, follow my bodyguard to get some silk cloth and rice."

Nowadays, coins in Sanfu Bingzhou have begun to be bartered, and it is useless to give money, so Chen Mo's rewards are mostly based on property.

"Thank you so much, envoy!" The doctor quickly bowed to express his thanks, and then left with Chen Mo's personal guards to collect the reward and also prescribe some medicine for Uncle Wang to take.

"Tell Bao Geng to monitor Yang Fengjun's movements day and night and not let him go." Chen Mo ordered one of his guards. At this point in the battle, the most dangerous period has passed. The most important thing now is to remove Yang Feng's troops. The main force remains here, and he cannot be allowed to divide his troops to rescue Jinyang and Yangyi.

The bodyguard responded to the order, turned around and left quickly.

"Lord, what are we doing?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"Rest one night first, and go out to the city tomorrow to take the initiative to fight and contain Yang Feng!" Chen Mo thought for a while and said: "Go and call the generals who have been guarding the city these days. I want to know how Uncle Wang defended the city and how he Are you so tired?"

Uncle Wang was able to defend Qixian County for three days with a thousand defenders. His ability was good, at least in line with Chen Mo's expectations. Moreover, Uncle Wang had never learned the art of war and relied entirely on his own ability. However, Chen Mo felt that even if there were insufficient manpower, he could defend the city for three days. It would not be a surprise to him. You must know that Uncle Wang can hunt tigers. How on earth did he achieve this?

Soon, Chen Mo got the reason for the matter from the soldiers guarding the city. In order to make sure there were no mistakes in the past three days, Uncle Wang personally supervised every post. In order to better understand the art of war, after the enemy retreated, they would follow these people in the city. The generals asked for advice on how to defend the city, and even shot the enemy generals personally during the war. Everyone would take turns to rest. However, in order to avoid possible night attacks by the opponent, Uncle Wang even slept on the city wall, but something happened. , he was immediately alert and personally led people to make some simple mechanisms to make it more difficult for the enemy to attack the city.

Chen Mo sent the generals away and looked at Uncle Wang who was sleeping soundly on the couch. He sighed in his heart and covered him with a silk quilt silently before exiting the room. Uncle Wang had talent, but he was not outstanding, but with this effort, But it made him extraordinary. Maybe he is not a powerful general now, but if he keeps this momentum, he believes that Uncle Wang's achievements will not be too low in the future, at least there is hope for leading troops in war. Stronger than Dian Wei.
