Chapter Fourteen The Silent Pawn

What was I thinking at that time?

He doesn't know much martial arts, and he can't even beat an ordinary soldier, but he goes to save the head coach Bo Cai who is surrounded by the enemy alone. Isn't this obviously going to die?

Such an eye-catching thing doesn't fit your personality at all...

Looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, Chen Mo wrapped his clothes. Even if he was wearing a set of leather armor, he could not block the April night wind. The cold night wind blew his whole body cold.

In the Battle of Changshe, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and only a few thousand people left of 60,000 troops fled back to the camp. The rest were either dead while siegeing the city or killed by pursuers while fleeing.

Even the coach Bo Cai was seriously injured. When he returned to the camp, he fainted on the spot. The soldiers guarding the camp hurriedly sent him to the tent.

When Bo Cai was unconscious, Chen Mo was in trouble. After all, the soldiers guarding the camp had no idea what was going on, so they locked Chen Mo in the wooden cage of the back camp and asked questions when the other generals came back.

However, all the generals in the camp summoned the injuries of the commander Bo Cai, so they could not care about Chen Mo, a yellow-turban soldier. At this time, most of the soldiers in the camp had rested, but Chen Mo was still detained in the back camp waiting to be put down.

"Saving the commander of the first army, but suffering this crime..."

Rubbing his hands and angrily, Chen Mo shook his head with a wry smile, but he had no intention of complaining. After all, if it weren't for Bocai, he would have died at the hands of the soldiers of the Chiefs.

Chen Mo saved Bo Cai's life, and Bo Cai also saved Chen Mo's life. After all, no one owe anyone.

But Chen Mo still couldn't understand why he did that at that time...

Although he has not found the meaning of his existence until now, it does not mean that he wants to die. He rescued the head coach Bo Cai from the siege of the powerful general Sun Jian and a group of soldiers of the Chiefs. Chen Mo is still a little unbelievable until now.

Perhaps it was Bo Cai’s words that touched him, Chen Mo thought to himself.

"A real man doesn't want to wear a horse and a corpse, but wants to die..."

Bo Cai's words seemed to have reached Chen Mo's heart.

Chen Mo has been introverted since childhood, taciturn, does not do eye-catching things, nor does he say eye-catching things. Even if he goes out to play with his friends, he often just sits in the corner and listens to those chatty friends telling some interesting things.

Some people are naturally suitable to stand in the center of the stage and are the focus of attention, but this type of people is a minority after all, and more people can only stand in the corner of the stage to watch other people's performances.

Chen Mo belongs to the latter.

Perhaps it was because his parents' discipline was too strict when he was a child that Chen Mo never did anything in a proper way and did what he should do. Gradually, he was like a stone with edges worn out and lost his due personality and passion.

In this world, there is never a lack of such people.

Once a person's personality is established, it will be difficult even if he wants to change it in the future. Sometimes, Chen Mo will envy those who stand on the stage, but if he really wants to do it, he will not dare...

Because he has never tried it, maybe he is afraid of failure, maybe he is afraid of being ridiculed, maybe he does not have this enthusiasm, maybe he is used to standing in a dim corner...

For some reason, when he looked at Sun Jian and Bo in front of the formation of thousands of troops during the day, Chen Mo's long-silent heart seemed to have ignited a few flames, especially Sun Jian's courage to look down on the world and swallow the mountains and rivers.

When Sun Jian jumped down from the city tower alone and looked proudly at the countless Yellow Turban soldiers around him, Chen Mo was shocked, as if his suppressed feelings were ignited, perhaps...

"Swish!"

At this time, a slight footsteps interrupted Chen Mo's thoughts. He raised his head, but was stunned to see a smile, which was Zhang Susu.

"You..." Looking at Zhang Susu standing in front of the cage, bent over slightly, and looking at herself with a smile, Chen Mo stuttered a little.

"It's really you?" Zhang Susu smiled, reached out her hands behind her, handed them to Chen Mo two buns, and said, "I heard that when Bo Shuai returned to the camp, he brought a young man named Chen Mo. Who did I think it was... I'm hungry, give it!"

"...Thank you!" Looking at the smile on Zhang Susu's face, Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Kong Ping's belly, hesitated to take it, and whispered, "How could you come here?"

"I'll take a look at you. You are the most interesting in the entire camp," Zhang Susu sat down in the shackle and asked curiously, "Did you hurt Bo Shuai?"

"Cough cough," Chen Mo couldn't help but choke by her words, and frowned and said, "Who said that?"

"I heard from some soldiers in the camp that said," Zhang Susu blinked playfully, then giggled, "I'm just teasing you. I heard some soldiers say that you rescued Bo Shuai from the enemy's siege. However, Bo Shuai was also seriously injured, so those generals were in trouble. Maybe they would wait until Bo Shuai woke up before they could release you..."

"Is that true?" Chen Mo chewed a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and asked in a low voice, "How is Bo Shuai's situation?"

Zhang Susu shook her head and said, "I have secretly seen that the generals in the camp squeezed the commander's tent and couldn't even get in. However, the guards said that Bo Shuai was seriously injured and had not woken up yet. An arrow was in the middle of the trachea and passed through his body. The generals did not dare to draw the arrow for Bo Shuai, just for fear..." At this point, she stuck out her tongue.

Chen Mo was silent. Even he didn't expect Bo Cai to come back then. At least he made up his mind to help Bo Cai but he didn't expect the other party to repay him.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression depressed, Zhang Susu hesitated and said, "Why should I beg for you to my second uncle and let you out first? However, the second uncle had just had a big fight with those generals and was angry now. I don't guarantee that he can agree."

"Forget it," Chen Mo felt a little better after eating the two steamed buns in one bite. He leaned against the shackle with his head on his head and murmured, "I really didn't expect that he would be defeated..."

Zhang Susu bit her lip and whispered, "I heard that the generals said that the second uncle fled in the face of the battle... The escape caused the morale of the army to be greatly devastated. The middle formation was broken and the flag of the coach was taken away, which affected the coach Bo and the soldiers in the camp..."

really……

If there were no reinforcements, if Zhang Bao had not escaped, the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans could have captured Changshe, thus joining the Jizhou Yellow Turbans led by Zhang Jiao, and joining forces to attack Luoyang, perhaps completely rewriting history.

But looking at Zhang Susu's low expression, Chen Mo just shook his head and comforted him, "There are more than 20,000 soldiers in the camp, and you may not lose..."

"Yes!" Zhang Susu smiled sweetly, then looked at the night sky and sighed, "I used to pester my second uncle to take me everywhere, and it felt very fun. Now I know that this is not fun at all... It would be great if I could defeat the Han Dynasty army. There would be no such heavy taxes in the future, and no one would starve to death, and no one would exchange their children with others..." At this point, her voice stopped abruptly, with deep sadness in her eyes, and she murmured to herself, "How can you do that, your children..."

“It will be fine…”

"Yeah," said Tiantian smiled, Zhang Susu stood up and laughed, "It's time for me to leave, otherwise my second uncle will scold me again..."

"Um."

After walking a few steps, Zhang Susu turned around and looked at Chen Mo who was locked in a shackle, saying, "Let's go and beg for you, it's very cold at night!" As she said that, she turned around and left quickly.

Chen Mo didn't want to accept Zhang Susu's kindness. After all, she and Chen Mo only met two or three times, and they were not familiar with each other. They owe favors to strangers, which was not in line with Chen Mo's personality. However, after thinking about it, he did not call each other. First, Zhang Susu had gone too far, and secondly, after several contacts, he had a good impression of Zhang Susu, a girl with a calm and innocent and lively temperament.

At this moment, another slight sound of footsteps sounded in the distance.

"Come back?" Chen Mo was a little puzzled, raised his head, but saw Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao sneak out of the tent in the distance, and ran over while there were no patrol soldiers nearby.

"Brother Zhou? Brother Pei?"

"Shh!" Zhou Cang made a low voice, took out two steamed buns from his arms and handed them to Chen Mo, and said with concern, "Just just now, there have been soldiers patrolling back and forth outside our tent. Lao Pei and I can't get out. Are you hungry, Xiao Mo?" As he said that, he handed the two steamed buns to Chen Mo.

Holding the two cold steamed buns in his hand, Chen Mo was very moved. After all, since he entered the Yellow Turban Army, he has been taken care of by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. Even when fighting on the battlefield, they have always protected Chen Mo. To be honest, although Chen Mo has experienced two battles so far, he has not killed an enemy soldier. All of them are done by Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and other familiar soldiers.

If it weren't for them, maybe Chen Mo wouldn't have survived until now.

"Okay, Xiao Mo, I heard you saved Bo Shuai?" Pei Yuanshao reached out and pressed Chen Mo's head, lowered his voice and teased.

Chen Mo smiled bitterly.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression strange, Zhou Cang was wrong and comforted him in a low voice, "It's okay, don't think about it, you are a great achievement, you will be able to come out as soon as Bo Shuai wakes up..."

"Maybe Bo Shuai will reward you!" Pei Yuanshao continued with a smile.

"I hope," Chen Mo smiled bitterly, and then asked, "I heard that Bo Shuai is seriously injured?"

"Well," Zhou Cang nodded and sighed, "I know a brother who is working outside the coach's tent. He saw it in the gap in the tent. Bo Shuai was awake, but his body was very weak and could not move on the couch... I heard that the coach seemed to have hurt his head, and his behavior after waking up was a bit strange."

"It hurts to the head?" Chen Mo was stunned and asked in surprise, "What a strange method?"

Zhou Cang thought for a while and gestured with his hands, "Boshuai was shot into the trachea by the arrow, and couldn't make a sound. He lay on the couch and struggled and said for a long time without knowing what he said. Finally, he grabbed General Qi Xia's hand and raised his hand to point to the candlelight in the tent with excitement. When the generals saw it, they asked someone to highlight the candlelight. Unexpectedly, Boshuai's eyes glared, as if he was very angry, and his fingers kept pointing at the candlestick. The generals had to ask people to prepare a few more candlesticks and put them in the tent. Now, Bo fainted again and was not awake yet. At this moment, those generals were guarding the candlesticks."

"Boshuai kept pointing at the candlelight?" Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

"Yes!" Zhou Cang nodded.

"Candle Fire...Candle Fire..." Chen Mo frowned and thought hard.

Suddenly, he recalled what Tianbo said when he took him to the top of the mountain...

‘…I have set up a good plan, but I don’t believe that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are not taking the bait. Unfortunately, I didn’t go to me. I worked hard to make a plan but Zhang Bao said something... Alas, Zhang Bao, I’m going to ruin my plan...’

Good strategy?

What kind of good strategy makes Bo Shuai so confident?

etc!

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Ma Ming and Yu Miao, two generals, had quietly left the village with thousands of soldiers, and never came back. They didn't know where they went. They led their troops back until today when they attacked Changshe.

The army going out...

Chen Mo looked around in surprise. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically and he said in surprise, "Oh no! Bo Shuai said that Changshe will attack our army at night and set fire to the camp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a loud shout outside the village on the west side, and fire rose into the sky.
