"This Xu Huang is so pretentious!" Dian Wei curled his lips and said after watching Xu Huang leave.

"Actually, you can't beat him." Chen Mo glanced at Dian Wei and said.

"How can we know without fighting?" Dian Wei glared and said that he could do other things, but when it came to bravery, he would not accept anyone, not even Lu Bu. If he had the ability, he would get off his horse and see if he could fight.

"As for bravery, physical strength is very important. His ax is not light, and his strength may not be weaker than yours. It is indeed difficult to judge the level of martial arts without fighting, but there are actually many things to pay attention to in fighting bravely, and it is not just about being brave.

Damn, the right time, place, and even your mentality have an impact." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile.

"Ah?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo blankly. It seemed to make sense, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Let me tell you this, this fighting mentality is very important. You are bold and easy to get excited and burst out with fighting power that you can't usually do. This is certainly a good thing, but it will also lead to excessive physical exertion and you will not be able to fight for a long time. But Xu

Huang is indeed calmer. Maybe you will have the upper hand at first, but he only needs to deal with it calmly. When you fail to defeat with all your strength, if he fights back, you will be exhausted by then and will naturally be defeated." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled.

Said: "Doesn't it make sense?"

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

"Do you think it's similar to what Xu Huang and I just said?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and said with a smile.

"?" Dian Wei looked confused.

"Let me tell you something first. You agree that nature is the best. If you don't agree, then I will tell you a paradoxical truth. At this time, you will think about this truth, and then I will tell you some facts, but these facts are incomplete, such as Xu Huang

You may not be able to hold on until you are exhausted, and for example, Xu Huang has been frightened by your momentum. I didn't say this, but at this time you are thinking about what I said before, and what I said is all true, so you will

You unconsciously agree with what I said." Chen Mo said with a smile.

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

"But did I tell a lie?" Chen Mo said with a smile: "Speaking is a skill, my teacher taught me. Xu Huang does have the intention to surrender, but he has lost two battles in a row, so he must have resentment in his heart. If I had just

Just ask him to surrender, even if he finally surrenders..."

Speaking of this, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that what he had done in taking Xu Rong into custody was not perfect.

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

"Even if he surrenders in the end, he still has a grudge in his heart. What I say is just to make him feel happier, more decent, and better able to use me." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Xu Huang is capable, but if you ask how loyal he is to Yang Feng, Chen Mo doesn't believe it. When he helped Yang Ping cut off the rear, I'm afraid Chen Mo was already thinking of surrendering, and he could also repay his kindness. No

As for making people think that he came to invest because Yang Feng was poor.

Chen Mo could see through these thoughts, but he didn't resent them. Who doesn't have selfish motives?

Loyal people are naturally the best, but it is impossible to imagine that all of your subordinates are loyal and willing to die for you at any time. People who think this way will not achieve anything great. Generally speaking, there are

People with ability should not care too much about their virtues, otherwise you will find that no one can use him. Xu Huang has ability, and Chen Mo is willing to use it. He fights for Chen Mo, and Chen Mo provides him with a place where he can display his talents. That is enough.

.

"I tell you this because I want you to use your brain when you speak in the future. Not to mention Xu Huang, if I want, I can make you think that Yang Ping can beat you. As long as you don't do anything, 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 considered a lie? Lao Dian is now considered literate and can read thousands of characters.

Chen Mo didn't say any more, Dian Wei is good at everything, it's just his mouth that makes you want to slap him sometimes, just do it, he doesn't hurt or itchy, you have to punish him severely, firstly you can't let go, and secondly, 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 speechless, let him know what real speaking is. If that doesn't work, let him copy the book. This method can at least make him

He settled down for a month.

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

"You came just in time. Yang Feng's vanguard army has been defeated. Now his army is attacking Qi County. You two each lead 3,000 troops to attack Jinyang and Yangyi. At this time, his rear is empty, and it is not as good as before.

In Baibo Valley, the local gentry will help." Chen Mo looked at the two of them and smiled.

"General, take your orders!" The two of them received orders from General Chen Mo and went to mobilize their troops.

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

"Inform the generals and set up camp. It is not easy for Uncle Wang to hold Qixian County for three days with a thousand men and horses. If we go further, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold it. We will return to the city immediately and contain Yang Feng here. As long as Jinyang and Yangyi are captured,

, this battle in Taiyuan can be concluded." Chen Mo stood up and said.

"What about Pingtao's soldiers and horses..." Dian Wei hesitated and asked.

"Don't worry, they may not have the courage to cross the river." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed and quickly went to deliver the order.

On the other side, Yang Feng was shocked when he learned that Yang Ping was defeated. His soldiers had already attacked 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 on the enemy tower rudely, his arm drawing the bow a little sore. These three days had been like a nightmare for him. For

To prevent the city from being breached, Wang Biao slept for less than three hours in three days in total. At this moment, his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. The thousand defenders Chen Mo left for her in the city only had 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, but that ferocious face was full of helplessness. At this point, he really didn't know how to defend next. If the city was destroyed 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. However, when he took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun and 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: "Quick, my lord's reinforcements have arrived, open the city gate and welcome my lord into the city!"

"Here...general!" the general agreed, but saw that Wang Biao had fallen down, his face changed drastically, and 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 making arrangements for defense, Chen Mo 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 quickly saluted.

"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 doctor. 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 so?"

"Reply to the envoy!" The doctor glanced at Dian Wei with some fear, and bowed: "I have asked the soldiers, General Wang has only slept for an hour every day in the past three days, and he has not even left half a step away from the city wall.

, 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."

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

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

"Thank you so much, envoy!" The doctor quickly bowed and thanked him, then left with Chen Mo's bodyguard 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 past few 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 silently covered him with a silk quilt before exiting the room. Uncle Wang had some 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 is willing to maintain this motivation, he believes that Uncle Wang's achievements will not be too low in the future, at least not worse than Dian Wei.
