Chapter 331: Go to Jiangdong, come prepared
After Chen Mo replaced some of the middle and high-level generals among the 5,000-man naval force obtained from Fengzhou, they were directly incorporated into the Fish Scale Guards. Under the leadership of Nangong Xian, they secretly traveled to Linzhou by water.

When Chen Mo was inspecting Linzhou before, he asked Cui Shuang to lead a thousand people to Qiantang. Together with the troops stationed in Linzhou, the total number of troops was as high as 30,000.

After Chen Mo handed over the matters in Yuzhou and asked Zuo Lianglun to stay in Yuzhou and take charge, he took his military camp and rushed to Jiangdong.

After arriving in Linzhou, Chen Mo secretly issued an order. The garrison troops from various barracks in Linzhou set off to Sanyuan to receive equipment and food, and arrived in Qiantang within ten days.

After the military order was issued, messengers flew everywhere, and troops began to gather one after another.

All the arrangements Chen Mo had made before were now in effect.

Chen Mo had already had someone build a granary for the army. Two years of great harvests had already filled the granary with food. Strict military discipline did not allow anyone to use the food in the granary. Now the military order is issued. There is no need to waste time requisitioning grain from various places, just go directly to the granary to pull it.

In a nearby village in Linzhou where the enemy guards were stationed, Wei Qing and his own soldiers moved together to load armor, divine arm crossbows and other equipment onto horseback and tied them tightly.

Since the divine arm crossbow workshop in Jiaping County was on track, in order to expand production, Chen Mo built weapons workshops in many counties in Yuzhou and Linzhou where troops were stationed. With the money given by King Huai and the Wu family, Chen Mo invested 70% of his capital in military preparations.

According to Chen Mo's military order, the five thousand trapped guards in Linzhou were also assigned hundreds of divine arm crossbows.

The wife quickly wiped away her tears.

Unlike generals such as Wei Qing, they rarely see their families throughout the year, but after experiencing life and death battles, they do not feel too scared, but how many people can return from the ancient battles?
According to the rules, everyone is queuing up to write letters home.

Wei Qing turned around and scolded: "It's not like I can't come back, why are you crying?"

"Qiu'er, we'll get married when I come back."

The surrounding trap guards gathered one after another.

Wei Qing's wife is pregnant with her second child and is crying silently.

"Mom and dad, when we come back this year, the money I have saved should be enough to build a new house for my family."

Everyone silently inspected the equipment and food.

"Everything is fine with me in the army. Don't worry about my parents. If I win, I will definitely be rewarded. I can buy an ox at that time."

After everything was done, he stood still for a while and said: "The Marquis was kind to me and took me in when I was a deserter, and that's how I am today. At this time, the Marquis had an order, and I had to obey." "

Although Chen Mo had already started "literacy literacy" in the army, there were still many people who didn't know a bunch of characters, and the military clerks were simply too busy. In the end, he could only leave a few short sentences.

Wei Qing sighed, turned around, and silently stuffed a few sesame seed cakes that his wife baked specially for him into his backpack, and then checked whether the equipment was usable.

In the barracks, large carts were pulled out one after another.

"When you receive the letter, you must reply to me and tell me whether the rewards you earned for your family have been received. If not, you will tell me in the letter."

After that, he led the horse out and never looked back.

Although I was tired, I didn't complain at all, because there were many final words in it.

Unlike the trapped guards, there was cheers and excitement in the barracks of the brave guards.

"I haven't fought in more than a year, and my hands are itching."

"I'm just waiting to be rewarded for my meritorious service and build a big house for my family." "I have to save money to find a new wife for my brother."

"I heard that Jiangdong is rich and prosperous. If we capture Jiangdong, we will definitely capture a lot, and everyone's rewards will definitely be indispensable."

"Let's show these fools like the Shenwu Guard and the Trap Guard who are the real men."

……

In mid-May, Chen Mo led his military camp to Qiantang and asked Sun Meng to call Cui Shuang in Qiantang. After some explanation, Chen Mo boarded the ship and led nearly a thousand soldiers to cross the river to get married.

The distance from Qiantang to Jiangdong is not far. If you travel by water, it takes about two days.

Therefore, shortly after Chen Mo left Qiantang, Wu Changlin in Yongkang learned that Chen Mo was about to cross the river.

Wu Changlin immediately found Wu Yu and Liu Ji and asked for countermeasures.

According to Liu Ji's plan, he set up an ambush to ambush Chen Mo on his way to Jiangdong to get married.

But he didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly, which made Wu Changlin feel a little weird.

"Chen Mozhen came here so stupidly. Judging from my first impression of him, he is not such a simple person. Could he have noticed something?" Wu Changlin said.

Liu Ji also frowned. It was indeed too smooth. The smoothness was a bit abnormal, and he said, "Does the young patriarch know how many people he brought across the river this time?"

"According to the news from our informants in Qiantang, there are probably no less than a thousand people." Wu Changlin said.

"With so many people, are you on guard?" Wu Yu interjected.

Liu Ji raised his eyebrows. In fact, his plan was not to kill Chen Mo successfully, but to cause a rift between Jiang Dong and Chen Mo, and to provoke the head of the Wu family to send troops to join the war. Therefore, it did not matter how many people Chen Mo brought with him. Important, as long as Chen Mo is ambushed midway and aroused conflicts.

But Chen Mo came like this. Wouldn't it be better if he could really keep him?

"Captain, Young Patriarch, in this case, just in case, let Chen Mo cross the river and wait until he reaches Yongkang. With his strength as a mere middle-grade warrior, he can bring ten thousand people, not to mention a thousand people." , is also the turtle in the urn." Liu Ji said.

Hearing this, Wu Changlin felt that it was appropriate. Once Chen Mo reached the shore and reached his own territory, it would be up to him to decide. An ambush on the river would not be foolproof.

Wu Changlin found Lu Tong and ordered Lu Tong to receive him, and told him not to disturb the people.

But I never thought that when Chen Mo's ship just docked and Lu Tong took people to receive him, he saw a group of people walking off the ship, beating drums and playing music as they walked.

Behind the band, there was another group of people carrying a load, which was tied with red silk. It looked like they were well prepared.

After all these people got off the boat, Chen Mocai rode off the boat, led by Sun Meng, and surrounded by a group of soldiers.

As Chen Mo's personal soldiers, he is well-equipped. After more than a year of recuperation, he already has a set of Mingguang armor, a horizontal sword, a round shield, a crossbow, and a long spear at his waist.

Hundreds of soldiers followed, and about a hundred soldiers surrounded Chen Mo. The remaining soldiers were responsible for keeping vigilance around him.

As Chen Mo's personal soldiers, they were all soldiers selected from many battles, with murderous intent in their eyes. Such an attitude shocked the people of Jiangdong on the shore.

When Lu Tong saw this, he immediately panicked.
