The Nameless of the Common Clans

After coming out from Bao Hong, Chen Mo was a little dazed.

Six million, for him, before this, 60,000 could stump him, let alone six million. This number was so big that he didn't even have much concept, and it was beyond his imagination.

"Jun Hou, what happened?" Bao Geng, Da Lang and others came up and looked at Chen Mo in confusion.

"Nothing." Shaking his head, Chen Mo said: "Everyone go and rest, starting tomorrow, there are still many battles to fight."

If making money is as easy as fighting, at least you know how to do it.

Finding his room, Chen Mo lay on the bed, silently watching the training content in the dream training camp given to him by the system god. There are ways to make people become stronger quickly, but there is no way to make people make money quickly.

If you really need money to become a cavalry captain or a lieutenant, how can you make money?

Give up? That's impossible. The opportunity is right in front of him. No matter how difficult the task is, he will not retreat. However, there seem to be some things in this world that he can't handle even if he tries his best now, such as... a way to accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time without breaking the law.

There is no immortal here, so he can only find a way by himself.

After silently worshipping the system immortal, Chen Mo lay on the bed and suffered from insomnia for the first time in his life. When thinking of his mentor Zang Hong who hated the sale of official positions and titles, and even resigned and returned home, when Chen Mo faced this problem, he also had the same thoughts.

This world is hopeless!

But really give up? Chen Mo was a little unwilling. For so many years, he tried his best to strengthen himself and learn all the knowledge he could learn. Is it just to retreat when necessary?

The mentor has his own ideas, but Chen Mo doesn't want to follow the old path of his mentor. He wants power, fame, and wants to revive his family. If he wants these, he can't leave as freely as Zang Hong. If he really loses his official position, what can he do to support his family? Mother will follow him to live a hard life again? And Yunsi and Juaner.

Or go back to the teacher and eat and drink for free?

Although he is indeed thick-skinned, he still can't do such a thing.

In the next few days, Bao Hong deployed according to Chen Mo's strategy, contacted the governors of Runan and Qiao County, and asked the governors of Qiao County to send troops to contain the Gepi bandits who were lingering in Qiao County and prevent them from evacuating easily. Then he gathered troops and quickly captured the nearest Song County.

Then in the next month, he continued to harass the food route of the Gepi bandits, making them focus on the food route. Zhong Yun led the army to easily capture Chengfu, and Bao Hong personally led troops to capture Shansang.

At this point, Chen Mo's plan was halfway completed, and the end of the fifth year of Zhongping also passed quietly. Time came to the sixth year of Zhongping. This year, Chen Mo was fifteen years old. During this period, he cooperated with Runan County to successively recover more than a dozen cities. The Gepi bandits had already discovered it at this time and wanted to rescue, but there were already a large number of Runan County soldiers stationed in Chengfu and Song County. It was difficult to capture them in a hurry, so they had to give up Qiao County and detour to Shansang to retreat to Shouchun.

Before this, Chen Mo had predicted that the Gepi bandits would take this route. He and Bao Hong gathered troops here in advance and set up many ambushes. At the end of January, he defeated the main force of the Gepi bandits in one battle, and successfully shot and killed the leader of the Gepi bandits, Huang Shao, in the chaos. Another bandit leader, Liu Pi, took advantage of the chaos to escape and disappeared. A large number of Gepi bandits were captured.

At this point, the battle against the Gepi bandits came to an end, and the counties began to recover lost territory. In less than half a month, the Gepi bandits completely disappeared. Although there were still remnants, they could no longer pose a threat.

In early February, the court issued an edict to reward the three armies and ordered the military officers to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to receive the reward.

…

"Chen Mo?" Luoyang, Beigong, Liu Hong looked at the name and smiled: "This boy seems to have been mentioned a lot in the past six months."

"Your Majesty, this boy was selected when the generals were selected." Jian Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "He is the most outstanding one among the generals selected by Xiyuan this time."

"Then why is he only a military marquis?" Liu Hong frowned, since he is a talent, and he was selected by Xiyuan, he is considered his direct line, and he should be a military Sima, and it will be easier to take over the post of the eight schools of Xiyuan in the future.

"Your Majesty, you don't know!" Jian Shuo was obviously prepared. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "Although this boy is talented, he is too young. He was only fourteen at the time and lacked strength. How can he compete with others? If it weren't for my love for talent and partiality, I'm afraid such a young hero would not be selected."

"He is flexible. In other words, this boy is only fifteen years old now?" Liu Hong was a little surprised.

"That's right." Jian Shuo nodded.

"Although there have been many child prodigies in the Han Dynasty over the years, it has been a long time since such a young talent with both civil and military skills appeared. But this promotion..." Liu Hong was a little embarrassed. He wanted to promote his own people and kick out the original eight schools of Xiyuan from the new army. However, Yuan Shao was quite effective in suppressing bandits in Jizhou. Even if he was the emperor, he could not replace meritorious officials without reason. He thought he could kick Bao Hong away. Who knew that Bao Hong, a general with mediocre performance in the past, gave Liu Hong an unexpected surprise this time.

The victory of the imperial court was naturally a good thing, but it also meant that Bao Hong could not move, and his plan to gain full military power over Xiyuan still had no progress.

"Your Majesty, Chen Mo's achievements are actually far from this." Qian Shuo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you should know that among the new army, the military princes and army commanders were all chosen by slaves. According to these people, Chen Mo first arrived Runan, then solved the siege of Nanton and found out that the Gebei thieves were too powerful. , the enemy should not be underestimated, but as soon as Bao Hong left, he was ready to seek a decisive battle. Chen Mo tried to dissuade him on the spot, but failed to make Bao Hong change his original intention. Later, Chen Mo took the initiative to apologize to Bao Hong, and Bao Hong just used Chen Mo's plan, but it became The strategy he and Chen Mo came up with together."

"I don't have much ability, but my official power is not small! How can such a small-minded person be worthy of being a general?" Liu Hong originally didn't like Bao Hong, who was recommended by the general. Now that he heard this, he felt even more dissatisfied.

"More than that, according to the information obtained by this slave, every time Bao Hong makes a decision, he avoids everyone and discusses it with Chen Mo in advance." Jian Shuo said with a smile.

"Is this son not dissatisfied at all?" Liu Hong frowned.

"It is said that it was Chen Mo who voluntarily gave up the credit that made Bao Hong willing to listen to his plan." Jian Shuo sighed.

"Ha~" Liu Hong sneered when he heard this: "He is really a good minister of mine. He has no ability to fight, but he has many ways to steal credit."

"Who says it isn't?" Jian Shuo nodded and followed Liu Hong in contempt.

"Chen Mo, on the other hand, is young, but he is quite magnanimous and can take the overall situation into consideration. Yes, what is his life experience?" Liu Hong asked.

"Speaking of which, he is also a nobleman, a descendant of the Chen family in Huaipu, but he is a side branch, and his family is in decline. Later, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he became a disciple of Zang Hong. He was recommended as a young boy last year and went to Taixue. He was also praised by Xu Zijiang as a capable official in peace and a hero in troubled times." Jian Shuo said with a smile.

"There is indeed some ability, and he is the person you chose. But even so, Bao Hong won't be moved after he gets the credit this time." Liu Hong frowned.

Regardless of what others say, Bao Hong's contribution to winning this battle as the commander-in-chief cannot be erased.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has heard that Bao Hong has a greedy character and has engaged in corruption before. However, there is no evidence, and there is not much, and he actively donated money to atone for his sins. Therefore, he did not pursue the case at the beginning, and this big incident "Sheng, this old slave is worried that this person will return to his old ways." Jian Shuo chuckled.

Liu Hong nodded when he heard this and said: "But even so, Chen Mo is just a military commander. His merits are not enough to be promoted to two levels in a row!"

A fifteen-year-old school captain, and being promoted out of the ordinary, will inevitably attract criticism. Many people are eyeing his position in the Eighth School of Xiyuan.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has a plan, which may allow Chen Mo to take over the post of military captain without hesitation." Jian Shuo thought.

"Tell me." Liu Hong said calmly, holding the desk and looking at the bamboo slips in front of him.

"The corruption of ink was something that Huang Wan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, could secretly investigate, but it was not brought to light. Your Majesty will reward a group of people first and promote Chen Mo to Army Sima." Jian Shuo bowed and said, "When the three armies return to Luoyang, we will call again." Huang Wan impeached Bao Hong, and at the same time ordered a thorough investigation, focusing on the Runan war. After finding out that Bao Hong had stolen Chen Mo's meritorious service, he would then promote Chen Mo to the rank of lieutenant, and there would not be much resistance. "

Although Jian Shuo is not good at training, he is well aware of all the twists and turns in the officialdom and is full of wisdom. As for why he wants to speak for Chen Mo, there is nothing he can do. The selected Xiyuan generals will participate in the war this time. None of them had a good record, and some even died directly on the battlefield. Only Chen Mo performed very well. No matter how much he looked down on Chen Mo at the time, at this time, we can only take down Chen Mo with the best record first. Come out and show it to Liu Hong.

"That's right." Liu Hong nodded, thought for a while and said: "Immediately pass the edict, Bao Hong's troops will be rewarded, Chen Mo will be promoted to Army Sima for his meritorious service, and the rewards of the three armies will be given after they return to Luoyang, and urge Bao Hong to Hong returns to the city as soon as possible.”

"My slave, you obey!" Qian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, agreed and bowed and retreated. He had passed this level. Although he could not get rid of the children of the aristocratic family like Yuan Shao, at least he was able to get back the First Military School. As for other things, let’s figure them out later.

When the edict reached Bao Hong, it was already five days later, and Bao Hong's troops had already arrived in Jiaxian County.

Chen Mo was somewhat disappointed that he was only promoted to Army Sima. He didn't need to take the six million, but this official didn't seem to have any share.

"Don't be discouraged. You can't be named a captain this time. There will definitely be a chance in the future. You are still young. With your ability, you may not be able to become a lieutenant general in the future." Bao Hong was obviously in a good mood at the moment. His contribution this time was that he could not get promoted, but he could still accumulate a lot of capital. When he fights again, it will be almost enough. By then, even Yuan Shao will not dare to look down on him anymore, right?

Chen Mo could only nod. The army commander was also good. At least his troops had doubled, and his salary would also increase a lot. As for being promoted to captain, considering his age, it seemed really difficult. He just happened to have time to think about it. The six million thing, during this period, six million almost became a nightmare weighing on his head, making him toss and turn every day.
