Chapter 51: First Merit

After watching Zhang Daniu leave, Chu Mo told Chu Yun to move the things into the theater and then walked to the side.

After leaving Yong'an Town, Chu Mo went straight to the Giant Spirit Forest on the border without looking back.

Now, the war in Mingzhou has begun. Zhang Qing and Hua Rong have no shortage of opportunities to make merit on the battlefield. With Chen Gong's recommendation, they will definitely be highly valued by the emperor. It is time for them to prepare themselves early.

Once the two of them come to power, it will bring greater convenience to me. In addition, the luck that entered my body some time ago has given me a major breakthrough in my mental strength. I can make some plans for the two-man army.

Now his mental power can control ten leather puppets of the same level at the same time. With Chen Gong, Zhang Jiao and Yao Guangxiao who are always outside, plus Zhang Qing and Hua Rong who are far away in Mingzhou, five places are occupied.

In addition, other puppets such as the Yang family generals are needed as fighting objects at all times, so at least two spots are needed.

In addition, one spot is needed for one hundred actors. They are the foundation of the theater's operation and are also important figures who conceal their identities. Although the actors' realms generally have not reached the first level, Chu Mo can clearly feel that this spot is not filled.

As the energy entered his body, Chu Mo had a clearer perception of the division of leather puppets with different levels of cultivation driven by his mental power.

His cultivation has now reached the peak of the first level of soul summoning. One quota of his mental power is equivalent to driving a leather puppet at the same level (peak of the first level of soul summoning); ten leather puppets at the peak of the first level of soul storage; one hundred leather puppets at the peak of the first level of soul nurturing; and one thousand leather puppets at the peak of soul entering.

As for the remaining two places, Chu Mo plans to invest all of them in Zhang Qing and Hua Rong, and build a team of a thousand people for each of them.

Of course, if you want to make the same type of leather puppets, you need the same type of spiritual materials as the production materials, but I don’t have such materials, so I can only try my luck in the resource-rich Giant Forest.

So, Chu Mo handed the theater over to Chen Gong and Zhang Jiao, and went to see if he could find a group of monsters suitable for making leather puppets.

On the other side, Tang Tianshi sat in the big tent with a serious face. In the past two days, even though he had many talented people under his command, they only played a small role on the battlefield. The key was that the gap between the two sides' troops was too big.

Now the successive defeats have made the soldiers panic-stricken. Our side has become completely passive and can only rely on the Canglan River to resist the attack of the Mongols.

In order to prevent Mingzhou from falling completely into the hands of the Mongols, he had followed the advice of his military advisor Li Liang a day ago and reported to the emperor for help.

He knew in his heart that he had fallen into the trap set by the emperor, and his army had suffered heavy losses. If he lowered his head early and lured out the emperor's trick, he could still preserve some of his strength.

After figuring it out, Tang Tianshi hung up the banner of not fighting, gathered the scattered troops in the surrounding areas, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements.

At this time, a soldier came to report. He said: "Report, General, I just received news that General Li Yushang, the General of Zhenbei, is coming with 500,000 reinforcements to help."

When Tang Tianshi heard this, he was already prepared in his heart and hurriedly said, "This place is thousands of miles away, but I still want to thank the generals for coming all the way here. I have already asked people to prepare a banquet to welcome you generals."

Li Yushang waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis, but the situation is serious now, so let's skip these polite words. I will go to the front line to check out the situation first, and then talk to the prince in detail."

After saying that, he walked out.

At this time, a young man standing next to Tang Tianshi said, "Father, this man is really rude. A mere general dares to ignore you. If it weren't for the situation, I really want to teach him a lesson."

Tang Tianshi glared coldly and said, "Shut up, use your brain and don't embarrass me."

Having said this, he rode away on his horse.

In a poplar forest, intricate trees are growing wildly. A group of people are resting here. In the silent desert, the only sound they can hear is the wind blowing on objects.

The people here are exactly Zhang Qing and his group.

Ever since they separated from the Qin Wu army, they have come all the way here just to wait for news.

As early as a day ago, military scouts were sent out to investigate the situation of the other party's escort of grain and fodder. Now, as soon as the news comes in, they can take immediate action.

At this time, Hua Rong seemed to have thought of something and said, "Brother, now that the two forces are facing each other across the river, how can we successfully cross the river and go behind the enemy to intercept the grain route?"

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "Brother, I have already made a plan. Now that General Zhenbei is supporting King Anyang, he will probably launch a counterattack soon. Shadun County is heavily guarded. I guess General Zhenbei will definitely launch a surprise attack on one of Weiwu and Youdu counties. We can cross the river behind him and secretly go around the enemy's rear."

Hua Rong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Great, this plan is very much to my liking. This battle deserves to make our two brothers famous."

Zhang Qing looked ahead at the black dot in the distance and said, "Okay, Brother Hua Rong, tell your men to eat and drink tonight. Once General Zhenbei succeeds, we will head straight to the enemy's food supply route and make a thousand-mile raid."

Hua Rong looked eager to try and said, "Yes, I'll go and give the order right away."

The scout arrived soon and saw Zhang Qing and immediately reported the intelligence he had obtained.

"General, I have already found out that the one in charge of logistics is an enemy general named Ma Yuan, who has just entered the second realm of cultivation. He transports food and grass to the Chipan River Beach, a branch of the Canglan River. This place is located in Guhuang County and can be divided into three routes. The two water routes continuously provide food and grass for the other three armies, and the surrounding reed marshes are secretly gathered, which is very secretive."

Zhang Qing felt very happy when he heard this, and couldn't help clapping his legs and said, "Okay, you guys should do some merit first, and then quickly return to the team to prepare for the battle."

That night, Li Yushang stood by the Canglan River early, looking at the twinkling lights of fire in Weiwu County on the opposite bank, and waved directly to the back.

All of a sudden, soldiers rushed forward one after another and took out sections of floating bridge-like objects from their storage bags. With the input of spiritual energy, they fell into the river and gradually grew larger, forming a floating bridge.

The soldiers moved quickly, and the floating bridge that fell into the river was as steady as the ground and stood still in the turbulent river. Soon, floating bridges leading directly to the other side were built, wide enough for four horses to run side by side.

This is a method used by the Mohists and is also very commonly used in war.

With the help of moonlight, Li Yushang took the lead and rushed straight to the enemy camp on the opposite bank.

On the other side, Tang Tianshi was about to arrive at the agreed time, and he also headed towards Youdu County on the opposite side.

At one time, the two counties were attacked, and in order to capture the two counties in one fell swoop, General Zhenbei and King Anyang both used their ace troops.

This battle caught the opponent off guard, and the ace army's combat power was overwhelming, successfully attacking the enemy camp.

In the Populus euphratica forest, Zhang Qing and Hua Rong were taking a nap leaning against a tree root when a figure woke them up.

It turned out that this person was a scout who came to report the news.

When they learned that the Zhenbei General and the Prince of Anyang had achieved initial results together, they were eager to make achievements, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, the Zhenbei General has made a contribution, we are not here to play, everyone follow us two brothers tonight, we will take you to make contributions."

Immediately, the two of them mounted their horses and headed straight for Guhuang County with six thousand light cavalry.

They successfully crossed the Canglan River on a floating bridge and set foot on the land of Weiwu County. They only took a glance at the blazing fire in the distance, and the six thousand light cavalry disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
