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

Chapter 244 Making a fortune

It was a cool night in the mountains in April, and the deafening shouts of killing resounded from Shiling Pass.

The wind blew across the earth, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Blood spattered, and under the light of the fire, the brown ground was dyed red with blood.

The Yuzhou army brought by Qin Lang failed to form a complete formation at the beginning, so Chen Mo led his troops to kill them.

If the Divine Warriors of Chen Mo's tribe are elites, then the Guards are the elites among the elites. They are all wearing bright light armor, holding spears, horizontal knives, bucklers, and crossbows at their waists.

A volley of crossbows was fired, followed by a forest of spears, which directly disrupted the Yuzhou army's incomplete formation, causing their soldiers to fight independently. Often dozens or more than a hundred people gathered together like hedgehogs. Still protecting himself, like a small tree that might topple over at any time in a violent storm.

At this moment, the cavalry from the two guards also entered the pass, roaring towards them, slashing and slashing sideways, tearing the enemy troops into pieces one by one.

"Thieves, please don't try your luck!"

Qin Lang watched Chen Mo slaughter his own soldiers crazily. Because the opponent's face was already spattered with blood, Qin Lang did not recognize him at once, but on the chaotic battlefield, everyone knew to kill the enemy general first.

Qin Lang led his men to kill Chen Mo.

"Follow me to defeat the enemy!"

Chen Mo held Tang Dao and shouted loudly.

"Destroy the enemy!"

"Destroy the enemy..."

Behind him, Sun Meng and Xia Zhining followed slowly with their personal troops.

Qin Lang and Chen Mo collided, and the horses in their hands swept towards each other.

"Chong"

As soon as he swept the horse out of his hand, without even contacting the opponent's blade, he was cut into two pieces by an invisible sword energy. He felt something, but as soon as the innate spiritual energy was released, his eyes widened, and the innate spiritual energy around him was cut into pieces. It was scratched, and even the armor and the men were split into two by the sword energy, and the internal organs were scattered all over the floor.

Such a bloody scene frightened both the surrounding enemies and ourselves.

"General."

When the soldiers saw this scene, their eyes widened, and then they started to kill Chen Mo like mad dogs.

In the military system of the Song Army, there are clear regulations that the general will die in battle and all the soldiers will die.

Although it has slowed down during this war-torn period, the outcome will not be much better.

"Kill." Chen Mo swung his sword again and killed more than a dozen people. The innate spiritual energy in his body was now strong and could withstand the consumption of these "ants".

Then he cut off Qin Lang's head with a knife, stuck it with the knife and raised it high, shouting loudly: "I am Chen Mo, the fifth-rank Xuanwei general conferred by the imperial court. Liang Song, the prefect of Yuzhou, was deeply favored by the emperor and received the emperor's salary, but Not wanting to serve the imperial court, he colluded with the King of Huai and raised an army to rebel. Now Your Majesty has ordered us to attack Liang Song and recover Yuzhou.

Now that the thieves under his command have been killed, why don't you surrender quickly? "

Now that Chen Mo has great righteousness, he first puts a high hat on Liang Song and talks about it.

"The thief will be dead, but those who surrender will not be killed!" Sun Meng shouted.

"The thief will be dead, but those who surrender will not be killed!"

The two guardsmen held horizontal swords with a cold light in their hands and looked contemptuously at the trembling Yuzhou army surrounding them.

Unexpectedly, you have become rebels.

The identities were reversed.

"Clang."

"Clang."

The sound of weapons falling to the ground was heard. Except for Qin Lang's personal soldiers, the rest of the Yuzhou Army in the pass hung their heads like defeated roosters, and their weapons were thrown to the ground.

The Song Dynasty is still there, and the court is still there, so righteousness is still very important.

Especially now that their leading general has been killed, morale is extremely low.

"Quickly annihilate the remaining enemies and clean up the battlefield."

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Chen Mofei got on his horse and headed towards Shiling County with his troops.

As for the remnant enemy in his mouth, he refers to Qin Lang's personal soldiers.

With the death of Qin Lang and the death of Yuzhou Army, this Shiling County was captured by Chen Mo.

Shiling County is different from Tianshui Town and Quanyang County. This is not an empty city. There are tens of thousands of people in the city.

Boom boom boom!

Uniform footsteps sounded under the night sky.

The majestic battle armor emits a breathtaking cold light under the firelight.

The rebels have entered the city.

This is the voice of the local people. The people in Shiling County have long been awakened by such a big movement.

Liang Song still has deep prestige in Yuzhou.

Therefore, they did not recognize Chen Mo's troops as official troops.

Chen Mo rode on his horse with a solemn look on his face and shouted: "Don't be afraid, folks. I am Chen Mo, the Xuanwei general appointed by your majesty. I came to Yuzhou this time to defeat Liang Song, the leader of the Yuzhou bandits. Folks, it doesn’t matter, just stay in the house and nothing will happen.”

Subsequently, Chen Mo issued an order to Sun Meng.

Sun Meng immediately led his soldiers and rode on horseback through the streets of the city. As he drove his horse, he led his men and shouted: "General Xuanwei ordered the people to be peaceful. Those who kill and set fire will be killed. Those who hurt others and plunder will be punished." We can just live our lives with peace of mind as before.”

Soon.

Chen Mo's peace order resounded throughout Shiling County.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, led his troops and occupied the granary in the city.

There are two granaries in Shiling County, which store a large amount of grain, which Liang Song raised for the army. One of the granaries is full, and the other granary has already spent more than half of it.

This kind of grain and grass are all marked, so Chen Mo knows that there are a total of 500,000 shi in a granary without counting.

These two granaries add up to at least 700,000 dan.

In addition to the granary, there is also a weapons warehouse in Shiling County, which is filled with weapons.

What excited Chen Mo was that in addition to weapons, there were actually thousands of armors.

This is simply much richer than Yang Minggui's warehouse.

Chen Mo asked the soldiers wearing bamboo armor to quickly change into iron armor.

Afterwards, Chen Mo led the army to the county government office, and the accompanying scribes checked, classified, registered, and collected all the books and files related to Shiling County household registration, topography, documents, etc. in the archives one by one.

"Zhining, inventory the assets of the county government officials, seal up all the warehouses, and then distribute the rewards later after the inventory is completed." Chen Mo continued to order.

"promise."

Xia Zhining retreated.

"Sun Meng."

"My subordinate is here."

"Find out the generals who are still alive among the surrendered soldiers and bring them to me. I want to question them."

"promise."

After Sun Meng agreed, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Mo stopped him and ordered: "By the way, I would like to inform all the people to gather in front of the county government office at dawn. We will tell you that our army will distribute money and food, and everyone will have a share."

"promise."

Although Liang Song had deep prestige in Yuzhou, he was still a minister after all, and he still collected taxes from the people of Yuzhou.

In this year of great disaster and chaos, Chen Mo didn't believe that he could raise so much food without putting an extra burden on the people.

The battlefield outside the city has been cleaned up. This time, more than a thousand enemies were killed, more than 700 of our own were killed, and 3,000 surrendered. All the captured equipment was put into the warehouse and counted together.

Wen Heng knelt on the ground, covered with dust, and his shirt was in tatters and stained with blood. He was a general brought by Sun Meng, a school captain, an eighth-grade warrior, and some background. My ancestor was once a fourth-grade imperial official, but now he has declined.

Through connections, he became a captain in the Yuzhou Army and was responsible for logistics.

Chen Mo also saw this. The Yuzhou Army was a regular army, unlike the Tianshi Army, whose strength and position were almost equal.

But at first glance, Wen Heng seemed to have come through the back door, and his strength and official position were not equal.

From his mouth, Chen Mo learned what he wanted to know.

Now Liang Song's main troops are in Chuima City, and there are still 3,000 troops left in Longmen County. This county is Liang Song's rear area.

Not only Liang Song's family members were in Longmen County, but almost all the family members of Yuzhou soldiers were in Longmen County.

And in Longmen County, there is a large granary with a grain storage of 1.5 million dan. It was created by the state as a private reserve for the purpose of disaster relief and self-help.

In Jiaping County after Longmen County, there is also the largest iron mine in Yuzhou.

After learning this, Chen Mo's eyes gleamed.
