Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Seeing Chu Mo take out so many cards at once, a flash of astonishment flashed in the bearded eyes, and then he looked at Chu Mo with a livid face, just about to speak.

As soon as I saw the soldiers in front, there was a burst of exclamation:

"Oh, this is really the crown prince's badge. It really belongs to the prince!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion around him.

Seeing the commotion getting louder and louder, veins popped up on his bearded forehead, and he roared angrily at the noisy soldiers around him:

"Shut up and leave me alone, General!!!"

In an instant, the soldiers who were still noisy immediately stopped.

Just when the bearded man thought he had taken control of the situation again and was about to ridicule Chu Mo, Chu Mo's disdainful voice came to his ears again:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are a lowly pawn, how dare you be so arrogant?"

"There are so many seniors with higher military ranks, age and combat experience than you. How dare you speak to them in such words?"

As soon as these words were said, the surrounding soldiers immediately felt the same and all looked at the bearded man with angry eyes.

At this time, Chu Mo did not forget to add fuel to the fire:

"You pretended to be a superior officer, and you have committed the crime of disrespect. Now you are scolding Pao Ze and insulting your superiors. If I don't ask you to be sent to court martial law to set the record straight, do you still need this military discipline in the future?"

After speaking, he shouted sternly to the soldiers in front:

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take down this fake person who has offended Shangguan!!!"

The moment he finished speaking, the looks of the surrounding soldiers looking at the bearded man suddenly became strange.

When the guards around him saw this, they immediately pulled out the sabers from their waists with a clanging sound.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately clenched their weapons nervously and looked at them eagerly.

"Why, do you still want to fight stubbornly? Do you still want to join in the evil deeds?"

"Give them all to me. If you take down these traitors first, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver!!!"

At a moment when the two sides were in a state of high mental tension, Chu Mo spoke up again, and then directly took out a wad of banknotes and shook them vigorously in his hand.

The atmosphere on the field was stagnant, and the two sides directly confronted each other.

After a few seconds of silence, a sudden roar was heard from the crowd:

"What are you waiting for? Kill the rebels and get a reward of silver!"

In an instant, the weird atmosphere was broken directly.

The surrounding soldiers all waved their weapons and rushed toward Lu Xiu and his guards.

Looking at the soldiers fighting in a group, Lin Wan frowned slightly and looked at Chu Mo in confusion and asked:

"What kind of magic did you use to make them fight among themselves with just a few words?"

Chu Mo chuckled, pointed at the soldiers who were killing each other and said:

"Do you think they are that stupid? Or are there no smart people among them?"

"Besides, don't you think it's strange? In this matter, except for the bearded man who claims to be a deputy general, there is not even a representative in their army who can stand up and speak out?"

"Do you believe that this army of almost 5000 people is only commanded by Zhou Xiaohai and this bearded man?"

After hearing what Chu Mo said, Lin Wan also noticed something unusual. She looked at Chu Mo with burning eyes and asked:

"Since there are other commanders in this army, why don't they stand up to expose your conspiracy and prove it to the deputy general?"

Chu Mo smiled slightly, then sighed softly:

"Because they don't want to be my enemy, they all want to live."

Without waiting for Lin Wan to ask more questions, Chu Mo took the initiative to explain:

"Do you know why I told them at the beginning that all the cavalry under Li Shimin's command were wiped out? Do you know why I confused right and wrong and told them that the imperial army could not last long?"

"I just want to add a shadow of fear in their hearts, so that they subconsciously think that the emperor is going to be doomed, the court is going to be doomed, and the Tang Dynasty is going to be doomed."

Chu Mo seemed to be asking and answering questions for Lin Wan.

"With the blessing of this fear filter, those soldiers will have a war-weary mentality in their hearts, and they will think about how to survive."

"The world is not at peace. Ever since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has used troops against Goguryeo for many years. From the late Sui Dynasty to the founding of the Li and Tang Dynasties, to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has been recruiting troops everywhere."

"In the past few decades, we fought against the Turks, then destroyed the Tibetans, and then fought against the Zhou Dynasty. In the past few decades, the people of the world have hardly lived a peaceful life. In their homes, countless men have died in the war. , it’s not an exaggeration to say that there are nine rooms out of ten.”

"Nowadays, Li Shimin is recruiting troops with all his strength, the five surnames and Qiwang suddenly rebelled, the Great Zhou Dynasty is eyeing the north again, and we are making trouble along the coast. What do you think will be in the hearts of these soldiers?"

"Most of them were forcibly recruited by the imperial court. They were in Chang'an before and felt that the war was far away from them, so they had no worries about life and death. But now, they are about to face the army of five surnames and seven kings. Do you think, Can they not panic?"

"So, you took advantage of their mentality and deceived them?"

Lin Wanxing looked at Chu Mo with wide eyes, a look of contempt on her face.

Chu Mo chuckled, then shook his head, looked at the soldiers in the fighting group, and sighed softly:

"It's not that I deceived them, but that they selectively believed my words."

"They just want to survive and don't want to fight our army."

Hearing what Chu Mo said, Lin Wan was even more shocked.

She never expected that today's low-level soldiers would be so war-weary.

Just to stay alive, he believed Chu Mo's lies so easily.

What made her even more unexpected was what Chu Mo said next:

"Actually, they didn't believe my lies. What they wanted was just an excuse to survive."

"And I just gave them this excuse."

"I told them that the bearded man was a fake, someone who wanted to rebel under the guise of being a Shangguan."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as they take it as true."

"This way, they have an excuse and a reason to attack the bearded man."

"Even if they know that everything I said is false, they still understand that the law does not punish the public."

"Rather than saying that I deceived them, it's better to say that they are taking advantage of my power to achieve the goal of not having to fight."

After listening to Chu Mo's explanation, Lin Wan finally understood.

It turned out that it was not Chu Mo who was too eloquent, but the soldiers on the opposite side who had their own plans in mind.

As the two people finished speaking, the battle on the opposite side also ended.
