The stars were dotted and everything was silent. In the dark night, Lingzhou City looked a bit solemn and solemn after the battle a few days ago. The soldiers patrolling the city held torches in their hands and moved slowly on the city, giving endless impressions.

The darkness adds some light.

On a hillside not far outside the city, several figures stood in the moonlight. One person was kneeling in front. There were some incense, candles, paper money and other memorial objects on the ground.

Li Muhan's slightly thin figure looked north and knelt down. After several days of fighting, his young face had lost some of its tenderness and looked more determined.

Chenyue and Mo Xuzi stood beside Li Muhan, with their hands behind their backs, watching every move of the young man in front of them with solemn eyes, silently and silently.

Only the old man's snow-white beard and the tail of Chenyue's black casual clothes kept swaying with the cold wind in the night, making a very slight sound.

Li Muhan raised his hands in front of him, raised his head and looked in the direction of his hometown, and a low voice sounded in the darkness:

"Grandpa, father, my descendants are unfilial. From today onwards, I will follow General Chen into the Liang Army. I know that I am unworthy of my grandfather's teachings!"

However, today the world is in turmoil, chaos has begun, and the people of Li are gradually losing peace. Mu Han would rather die on the battlefield than live a life of mediocrity. Therefore, he is willing to follow General Chen to plan for the world and fight for the common people. I hope that the spirits of my ancestors in the sky will protect me.

The officers and soldiers of the state! The descendant Li Muhan kowtows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Muhan kowtowed heavily to the ground three times. His forehead was bruised and he couldn't kneel down. Tears began to well up in his eyes.

Mo Xuzi let out a long breath, looked at the deep starry sky, and murmured: "Old friend, don't blame me. If you knew General Chen and knew what he was thinking, you would probably have to send your grandson into the world with your own hands.

In the military, three generations of a family are all this stubborn! There really is nothing you can do about it!"

After a long time, Chen Yue's voice finally sounded: "Starting tomorrow, you will go to lead troops under General Zhu Tianhe, take over Che Yongshi's position, and first become an infantry captain."

Li Muhan's kneeling figure trembled slightly.

"I heard you're not a bastard, do your best and don't embarrass your grandfather and your father!" Mo Xuzi shouted from the side, his eyes full of encouragement for the young man.

Li Muhan stood up slowly, wiped the tears from his eyes, faced Chen Yue and roared with all his strength: "Liangzhou Infantry Colonel Li Muhan, I have met General Chen!"

Chenyue and Mo Xuzi looked at each other and smiled, very satisfied.

After settling the matter of the Mo family and Li Muhan, Chenyue finally felt a little better. They will be Liangzhou's greatest help in the future.

Since Mo Xuzi agreed to enter Liangzhou, he naturally began to think of ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army. He went to the army non-stop to check the situation and tried to think of ways to improve the various existing weapons, especially the siege cloud chariots. For the next attack,

Urban battles are definitely inevitable.

Chenyue, who rarely had a few days of leisure, came to Xue Leihan's governor's house and wandered around. He looked outside the door from time to time. He was waiting for news, waiting for the news of dispatching scouts to Hefu County.

Xue Leihan, who was sitting at the desk in the governor's office, was busy dealing with various government affairs, and the vermilion ink pen in his hand kept waving on the paper.

Seeing Chen Yue's carefree look, Xue Leihan, who was extremely busy, became furious and said in a weird voice: "I said General Annan, can't you go to the military camp for a walk? Don't stay in my little place."

Are you wandering around the governor's office?"

"Hey? How can you say that? What does strolling mean?" Chen Yue stopped, turned his head and looked at Xue Leihan seriously and said: "I am called to supervise the work of Governor Xue. You have just taken over the power. General.

Don’t worry! I have to watch you carefully for the people of Lingzhou!”

Chen Yue's deliberately conceited official accent made Xue Leihan become furious. He rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, the general has such great official authority!"

"Haha!" Chenyue saw Xue Leihan's eyes became anxious, laughed loudly, and began to pretend to walk around the house with his hands behind his back, head held high, and big strides.

"Snapped!"

Seeing Chen Yue's proud smiling face, Xue Leihan slapped the ink pen in his hand on the inkstone and said with a dark face: "I quit, I can't do this job anymore. General, you will report to the court today.

Please remove me as the governor of Lingzhou!"

After saying that, Xue Leihan crossed her legs, closed her eyes and whistled, as if the matter was none of her business.

"No!" Chenyue saw that Xue Leihan had given up his choice, and quickly stepped forward to coax him: "Master Xue! Brother Xue! I won't hang around, okay? You do your job, I'll wait for news here.

We have nothing to do with each other!"

"That's pretty much it!" Seeing Chen Yue's appearance, Xue Leihan finally felt a little more comfortable and started to work again. Before he had even written a few strokes, he suddenly realized: "Waiting for news? Is there something going on?

"

Chenyue put away his smile and said slightly seriously: "Yes, maybe you will send someone to take over the entire territory of Lingzhou."

Up to now, Xue Leihan has mainly dealt with affairs within Lingzhou City, and other county towns are still managed by the army.

"Take over the entire territory?" Xue Leihan was stunned: "Isn't King Fu's army still stationed in Hefu? There could be a war at any time. Isn't it too early to take over?"

"Hehe." A meaningful smile appeared on Chenyue's face: "If my guess is correct, King Fu should have withdrawn his troops."

Xue Leihan was stunned.

At this moment, Chu Yucheng's figure hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

"Here we come!" Chen Yue stood up with a smile.

"Brother Yue! Brother Xue!" Chu Yucheng quickly walked up to the two of them and said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, King Fu has withdrawn his troops. Now the cities in Hefu County are empty, and the entire Fuzhou army has withdrawn!

"

Xue Leihan glanced at Chen Yue in surprise: "Prince Fu probably still has fifty or sixty thousand troops in his hands, why did he just withdraw?"

"We can't fight!" Chenyue said confidently: "Hefu County is now surrounded by enemies on both sides. We have wiped out most of King Fu's main field force. If we don't leave, we will have to wait for death!"

Xue Leihan suddenly understood and nodded.

"Leihan!" Chenyue tilted his head and said, "Send officials to each county immediately to appease the people!"

"Okay! I'll do it right away!" Xue Leihan nodded and strode out.

Chu Yucheng asked hesitantly: "Are we also going to take over Donghai and Hefu counties first?"

"No!" Chen Yue waved his hand: "Send a message to the King of Wu and Tang Xing'an. These two counties have asked them to send troops to recover. Our troops cannot be too spread out. There is still a tough battle to be fought. It just so happens that they also contributed this time.

, give them a favor to avoid being gossiped about."

After receiving the news from Chenyue, King Wu and Tang Xing'an sent out troops with hesitation. Unexpectedly, they easily recovered the entire territory of the two counties without encountering any resistance. They were naturally overjoyed. This was considered a great military achievement. Chenyue

In this way, it was handed over to two people.
