The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Chen Mo? General Chen?" As he was walking out, he was stopped by Bao Hong.

"General Bao, what else can I do for you?" Chen Mo looked at Bao Hong's head in confusion, and had the urge to slap him. This was really a bit mean.

"I..." Bao Hong looked at Chen Mo awkwardly: "It's stuck, General Chen, can you help me get it in?"

Chen Mo looked at Bao Hong with a bit of a laugh and a cry. At this time, the other party's appearance was really a bit funny. Chen Mo stretched out his hand to hold the other party's head and pushed it in without saying anything.

"It hurts, it hurts~ Be gentle." Bao Hong slapped the wooden stakes of the cell with both hands frantically, and he looked like a fish coming ashore.

Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll be quick."

At first, he didn't feel anything, but Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves and looked at the whip-like muscles on Chen Mo's thin arms. Bao Hong swallowed his saliva: "General Chen, you should do something serious. I'll ask the jailer to help later."

?

Chen Mo looked at Bao Hong in confusion.

"I just suddenly felt that being stuck like this, my mind seemed to be clearer than usual." Bao Hong swallowed and smiled.

Is there such a thing?

Chen Mo looked at the other person's head, shook his head, and didn't go into it. Although it felt ridiculous, the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. There is also a fairy living in his head. Maybe Bao Hong has also had some opportunities.

After saying goodbye to the prison officer, it was already afternoon when he returned to the mansion.

"Sir, Lord Lu has replied that you can visit tomorrow. The Yuan Mansion has sent an invitation to invite you and Lord Cao to the Chunnuan Pavilion tonight." Juan'er trotted over and handed two invitations to Chen Mo.

"Why did Brother Meng De's invitation come to me?" Chen Mo looked at Juan'er in confusion.

"Because I haven't left yet." Cao Cao came out with a piece of bread, looked at Chen Mo and smiled: "My invitation was sent by the steward in the mansion. How about we go to the banquet together tonight?"

"Of course, it's just..." Chen Mo had a headache: "I was drunk last night, and now I still have a headache..."

Going to the banquet, of course you have to drink, but Chen Mo really doesn't want to drink again.

"What's the harm?" Cao Cao patted Chen Mo's shoulder and smiled: "You are now a lieutenant, and there will be a lot of these social events in the future. You will get used to it slowly."

Get used to it? Chen Mo shook his head. He was afraid that he couldn't get used to it, and he didn't want this habit.

But the invitation has been accepted, and he can't escape this trip tonight.

"I'll go to the military camp first. Brother Meng De, do you want to go with me?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao. He had just been appointed as a lieutenant of the lower army. It would be unreasonable not to go to the military camp. Even if they basically knew Chen Mo in their camp, they still needed to announce their identity to everyone first.

"Okay, I haven't visited for a few days." Cao Cao nodded and followed Chen Mo to the Pingleguan camp.

Pingleguan parade ground became lively with the arrival of Chen Mo, mainly the lower army school lieutenant camp. Chen Mo's performance in the Battle of Runan was seen by everyone. In just a few months, he was able to defeat the Gepi rebels with tens of thousands of people with 1,200 troops. It was almost all Chen Mo's credit. Chen Mo's prestige was also established in this battle.

Compared with Bao Hong, who stayed in the rear most of the time, Chen Mo, who could lead troops to fight and capture cities when on horseback, and could make plans when dismounted, and was more easily respected in the army.

Chen Mo was promoted, and the vacant position of military marquis was replaced by Bao Geng. Although this guy is hateful, especially when he talks about his family's 300 acres of fertile land with an innocent expression, people have the urge to beat him up, but public affairs are public affairs, private affairs are private affairs, Bao Geng is still capable, at least he can be a military marquis, and his merits are enough.

A military commander died in the battle, Chen Mo did not fill it for the time being, but chose to lead a part himself, and then Zhong Yun and Yu Sheng each led a part of the troops. Dalang, as the leader of his personal guards, led a garrison of 100 people, and now he is also a garrison commander. Chen Mo made such an arrangement, naturally hoping that when Dalang and Bao Geng have made merits in the future, he will choose one of them to serve as the military commander.

In the afternoon of spring, it is neither cold nor hot, but it always makes people feel a bit depressed.

After arranging the affairs in the camp, Chen Mo sat on the stone pier beside the training ground and continued to carve bamboo slips. The affairs of the Xun family had been delayed for several months because of the war. Chen Mo was very grateful that the Xun family did not take back the business because of this. If it was delayed any further, it would be too much.

The soldiers in the distance continued to train sweating profusely, and Chen Mo was free instead. He spent most of his time carving words. Although he became a lieutenant, his salary would not be paid for a while. He had to find some income to cover the expenses of the family. After the Xun family's order was completed, it should be able to support for a while.

However, compared with the step-by-step process here, the other camps still in Luoyang were somewhat envious of the fact that the lower army lieutenant department was able to fight a beautiful battle in the first battle.

Although for Chen Mo, after finding out the details of the enemy and then attacking the opponent's vital points, step by step, he took the initiative into his own hands, and then relied on the power of the surrounding counties, this battle seemed difficult, but in fact, from the moment Gepi was broken, the war basically had no suspense, just like when one side has already set up the game on the chessboard, but the opponent doesn't even understand what you are doing, the outcome is basically no suspense.

But for the spectators, the real excitement is the second half of the game, cutting off the opponent's retreat, using county soldiers to carry out guerrilla harassment, cutting off the enemy's food supply, and then step by step leading the enemy into an ambush, that is quite exciting.

After all, the Gebei thieves have significantly improved their combat power compared to the Yellow Turban Army back then, but the leader of the opponent is not at the same level as the Han army. Even if there is no silence, I believe that as long as he is a general with similar military practice , it is not difficult to defeat the Gebei thief.

No matter how elite the soldiers are trained, it will be difficult for them to give full play to their advantages if they are led by the enemy throughout the whole process. Isn't fighting a matter of exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses so that the opponent's strengths cannot be used?

At least opponents like Ge Bei Thief were very boring in Chen Mo's eyes. Even with a small number of people, they could eat the opponent to death.

Is it just this group of new recruits who think it's awesome, and they don't react to people who haven't seen anyone in the military academy? Those are the veterans who have truly seen the cruelty of the battlefield.

"General, everyone is talking about you, but you are carving books here?" After Zhong Yun completed a day of training, he came to Chen Mo and watched the bamboo slips taking shape in Chen Mo's hands quickly. Even though he had been studying since he was a child, the bamboo slips were very important to him. It's nothing new to me, but I can't help but admire the style of Chen Mo's bamboo slips.

However, compared to this, Chen Mo's reputation has greatly increased now, and his reputation has spread in the Pingguang camp. In addition, he has just been promoted to captain and is still the youngest captain in decades. At this time, he should not go to various camps. Go around and show off your abilities?

"Why don't you engrave a book?" Chen Mo looked at the soldiers around him and asked, "Continue to train? I don't have any problem."

That expression of calmness and indifference doesn't seem to be fake. Is he really putting himself out of the situation?

"This is the time for you to establish your prestige in the army." Zhong Yun said helplessly.

"It's a bunch of rabble, and there's nothing worth showing off even if they're defeated." Chen Mo shook his head. He didn't want to talk more about the Gebei thieves. After all, his Shangguan's being raped had something to do with him. After all, it had something to do with him. It didn't sound good, and he hoped that this matter would be forgotten as soon as possible.

"That's not what you said at the beginning." Zhong Yun thought that after Chen Mo fought against the Gebei bandits for the first time, in order to prevent Bao Hong from directly seeking a fight, he not only contradicted Bao Hong in court, but also licked his face and ran back to lobby afterward. , Zhong Yun can remember that scene for a lifetime.

"Of course, the Gebei thieves were not wiped out at that time. If I say they are a mob, what will happen if they lose?" Chen Mo joked casually.

"You are really cautious." Zhong Yun shook his head. This was the first time he had seen such a way of thinking.

"Most of the reckless men are dead." Chen Mo looked at him with a smile and said.

"Isn't that kid Bao Geng fine with his life?"

"How should I put this question? There is no conflict between Bao Geng's survival and reckless men dying on the battlefield. After all, many of the people who died on the battlefield were the reckless men you talk about. If you count them, then I know how lucky Bao Geng is to come back alive." Chen Mo shook his head. Among the people who survived, Bao Geng didn't mean that someone with his temperament would be easy to survive, but that only one person with this temperament would come back. The gap between the two can be described as worlds apart.

"I thought you would become a military commander, but who would have thought that you would surpass us with this leap." Zhong Yun said with emotion.

"Aren't you convinced?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"That's not true. Your ability is ten times better than Bao Hong's. No one has any objections to your appointment as captain, but it's just a little awkward." Zhong Yun shook his head. It was hard to describe this feeling. His former subordinates suddenly climbed above him. Go, even if the other party comes up based on his true ability, it still takes a transition to accept it.

"You all are like this, let alone others. It's better to keep a low profile at this time. Even if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. I don't want to be the target of public criticism." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

"But this is really a good opportunity." Zhong Yun was a little unwilling.

"So what? No matter how famous I am, at my age, it is impossible for me to be promoted again in a short time. It is better to lay a solid foundation at this time." Chen Mo looked at Zhong Yun and smiled and said: "Thank you very much."

"You really can keep your composure." Zhong Yun shook his head helplessly. A young man is successful. Even if he is not domineering under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be like Chen Mo, right?

"Read more books. Sometimes what you want has been experienced by predecessors." Chen Mo put the carved bamboo slips into the frame and took out a blank bamboo slip to continue carving.

"The matter of Mr. Yuan's banquet tonight..." Zhong Yun looked at Chen Mo and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid Mr. Shuo will ask, I..."

When Chen Mo heard this, he raised his head, looked at Zhong Yun seriously, and then nodded: "I understand, to be honest, in the officialdom, these things cannot be avoided."

"But we are loyal to the emperor." Zhong Yun said solemnly.

"I know, and I haven't abandoned it." Chen Mo carved the bamboo slips and understood why Zhong Yun said this.

"That's good. I'll take my leave first."

Looking at Zhong Yun's leaving figure, Chen Mo sighed helplessly. The emperor was very suspicious.
