The Nameless of the Common Clans

It was troublesome to surrender the prisoners, so Chen Mo asked Dalang to lead people to clean up the original camp of the Yellow Turban Army and temporarily station troops under Dalang's command.

"Lord, this..." Dalang was a little confused: "I am afraid that the last general cannot command so many people."

The Yellow Turban army alone numbered more than 6,000, plus the 3,000 new soldiers brought by Chen Mo and more than 2,000 cavalry from Yuv Luo, there were tens of thousands of troops. No one, including Chen Mo, had ever commanded so many. people.

"Leave Yuvro's people alone and let him manage them by himself. As for the remaining people, tomorrow we will select generals at all levels according to their military positions and report them. Remember, tell them that they are only temporary. If they are managed well, they can be officially appointed. , you only need to manage Just live in the army and be the commander of the army." Chen Mo patted Dalang on the shoulder and said: "You can do it. I gave you the Art of War of Wu Zi a few days ago. Study it when you have nothing to do. In the future, we will conquer the world and our people will be better. Duo, don’t let me down!”

Dalang felt a warm current surge up from his heart, and he knelt down to Chen Mo and said: "Don't worry, my lord, even if I die, Wu Yi will help my lord achieve his great cause!"

"You and I grew up together. You came with me all the way. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe? Get up." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Here!" Dalang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up silently, and bowed to Chen Mo.

At the moment, Chen Mo took Dian Wei and Dian Wei's troops into the city.

Wei Yuan is still a little bit incredulous. Chen Mo did nothing, and then he had thousands more surrender troops under his command, plus more than 2,000 Huns cavalry?

Are his three thousand troops here to collect and surrender prisoners?

Wei Yuan suddenly felt a little lucky that the head of the family had made the right decision. Otherwise, if the Wei family had really come into conflict with such a person, or someone who held great power in Hedong, they might have died without even knowing how.

"Wei Jian has met the envoy!" As soon as he entered the city, he saw Wei Jian leading a group of people to meet him. He smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that the envoy is good at fighting with the heart. Now that I see him, I know that what he said is true."

"Mr. Boru, please don't do this. If Mr. Boru hadn't been here to restrain him, Mo wouldn't have had a chance to win in one battle." Chen Mo quickly stepped forward and took Wei Jian's hand and said with a smile: "When Mo was in Qingzhou, he had already heard that Mr. Boru's reputation for talent and learning can be seen today, which is enough for his whole life. Mr. Boru is considered a senior by any calculation. Don't be so polite, otherwise it will be difficult to keep silent. "

It was as if the previous transaction had never happened. The two of them seemed to be longing for old friends who had known each other for many years. They were extremely warm. No one mentioned the previous things, but they just chatted enthusiastically. Along the way, they started to praise each other, and then ended up talking about astronomy and geography, ancient and modern. Doctrine is like a close friend.

Chen Mo has thousands of books in his chest, and Wei Ji is also a knowledgeable person. The two of them have no worries about running out of topics together. No matter who brings up a topic, the other can quote scriptures and talk eloquently.

Dian Wei and Wei Yuan, who were following behind them, were stunned.

"Hey, did you really come here to speak to this person?" Dian Wei looked at Wei Yuan and asked. At that time, Wei Yuan was so suppressed by Chen Mo that he couldn't even lift his head. Originally, Dian Wei had expected that when the two people met, they would be extremely disappointed. It was not a scene like this. Dian Wei was ready to fight with each other and even take action, but the joy in front of him and the late meeting made Dian Wei a little doubtful about life.

Although Wei Yuan didn't quite understand, he still puffed up his chest after hearing this and said: "This exchange between scholars, you barbarian..."

"Huh?" Dian Wei looked at him unkindly.

"It is difficult for a brave man like the general to understand." Wei Yuan quickly changed his tone. He didn't want to experience the scene where Dian Wei was cutting melons and vegetables on the battlefield when the Huns were defeated. The two iron halberds, not to mention cutting him, would probably break his bones even if they were slapped on him.

"Yes." Dian Wei touched the steel needle-like beard on his chin, nodded and said matter-of-factly.

Wei Yuan unconsciously moved farther away from Dian Wei.

Chen Mo and Wei Jian went straight to the government office. After the guests and hosts were seated, Chen Mo looked at Wei Jian and said, "Mr. Boru deserves a lot of credit for being able to defeat the enemy so easily this time. Why don't you express your gratitude to the court and pay your respects to Mr. Wei Hedong County?" How about Cheng?”

"I'm not busy." Wei Jian ignored Wei Yuan's look, smiled and shook his head and said: "Jiang has been obsessed with calligraphy in the past few years and has no intention of becoming an official. However, if you need it, Jian is willing to do his best."

Chen Mo nodded. This was a tactful rejection, but he didn't want to offend himself. To put it bluntly, he wanted to wait and see for the time being, but if you need help, I am willing to help for the Wei family.

After all, Chen Mo has just settled down in Hedong, but that's all. The world is changing, and no one can tell what will happen tomorrow. A family like the Wei family is not willing to make a bet prematurely.

Chen Mo was not disappointed either. This was the first contact between the two parties. When it came to important matters, the other party would bow down to him. Chen Mo had to worry about ulterior motives. After all, no decision in such a big family was personal. As long as they did not cause trouble, they would secretly stumble and threaten themselves. Without his own status, Chen Mo would be tolerant and even willing to make friends with him, and maybe he would be able to tell a good story, but if the other person crossed the line, it would be another opposite story.

"It's just that when Mo first came to Hedong, he had no one to help him. Although the soldiers under Mo's command were brave and good at fighting, they may not be proficient in governing the place. Hedong has been a place of outstanding people since ancient times. There have been great heroes like the great general Wei Qing. I wonder if Mr. Boru can do it. How many people should I introduce to solve the urgent problem?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Chen Mo's words always make people feel comfortable. Although both parties are still in the exploratory stage, this does not hinder Wei Ju's evaluation of Chen Mo himself. He is a character who is knowledgeable, humble, and able to kill decisively.

He nodded and said, "There are many famous people in Hedong, such as Han Kai of Sangquan County and Bai Pi of Jie County. Although they are not well-known, they are quite talented. You may recruit them."

Chen Mo nodded and wrote down the two names. As for whether to use them, he still needs to see the real person. Now that he has just taken the position of prefect, although he is short of people, he can't use everyone.

"It happens that Ji wants to hold a banquet to entertain the gentry of Hedong tomorrow. If you have time, you may come. Ji is willing to introduce the heroes of Hedong to you." Wei Ji smiled.

"Mo will definitely come." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

After asking Wei Ji about the customs and culture of Hedong, Chen Mo reluctantly sent Wei Ji out of the government office. No matter what the person was like, it seemed to others that he was reluctant to leave.

"I am here to see you, Lord." After Wei Ji left, the chief clerk of Hedong came with several county officials to formally meet Chen Mo. Because when Dong Zhuo was in Hedong before, he mainly monitored the movements of Luoyang and had no intention of managing the affairs of Hedong, and even did not care about the lack of county officials in Hedong, so these few people came to see Chen Mo at this moment.

What made Chen Mo curious was that the affairs of the county were actually handled by the chief clerk instead of the Gongcao.

Chen Mo had already ordered people to invite Man Chong to be the county magistrate of Hedong and handle all the affairs of Hedong County on his behalf. However, before that, Chen Mo also had to sort out some things. At least he had to know how much money and grain he had, who his subordinates were, and what kind of personality they had.

"Go and get the taxes of Hedong for the past three years and the household registration books of each county. I want to take a look." Chen Mo smiled.

When dealing with subordinates, Chen Mo is usually very friendly as long as there is no mistake in principle.

"This..." The chief clerk and the others hesitated.

"Is there a problem?" Chen Mo looked at them and asked with a smile.

"Reply to the envoy!" The chief clerk bowed and said, "The warehouse where the files are stored caught fire..."

"All burned?" Chen Mo looked up, the smile on his face was still there, but the smile was less friendly, and the pair of hawk-like eyes were quite oppressive.

The chief clerk nodded reluctantly.

"It's just right, there's nothing else to do, take me to see it!" Chen Mo stood up and said lightly, "The files are made of bamboo slips. I'm really curious, what kind of fire can burn all the files?"

"It's... it's been demolished." The chief clerk bowed.

"Very good." Chen Mo nodded, and there was a flying knife in his hand. He didn't see how he moved, and the next moment, the flying knife had already swept over the chief clerk's ear.

The chief clerk only felt a chill in his ear, followed by a sharp pain that made him scream.

"Why?" Chen Mo stood up: "You guys don't really think that Chen is young and ignorant, do you?"

Chen Mo looked at the few people, slowly stood up, came to the chief clerk, and said helplessly: "Or do you think that if I kill you, someone will be held accountable?"

The restart of the state governor system has greatly increased the real power in the hands of local officials, especially now that the court's decrees have increasingly weak control over the local areas, the county governor or state governor holds the power of life and death.

"You have all been county officials for many years and have some reputation in Hedong County. Chen Mo really doesn't want to use your family as a threat. After all, the harm will not affect my wife and children." Chen Mo patted the face of the chief clerk and said with a smile: "However, as a prefect, I have to do my job. It is difficult for me to stick to my principles when someone like Qian Zhubu embarrasses me like this. Don't you think so? Qian Zhubu?"

If a general county governor came, these old county officials could still restrain him, but now Chen Mo came with troops, and there were a lot of troops, recruited from various counties and surrendered Yellow Turban bandits. Now Chen Mo has nearly 20,000 troops, and the current system is different from before. Chen Mo holds the power of life and death. If he is more ruthless, he can directly wipe out the whole family and no one will say anything.

"Yes... Your Excellency is right. I am confused. Please forgive me. I will restore the files as soon as possible." Qian Zhubu covered his ears with a painful look on his face. He was just looked at by Chen Mo's gentle eyes. Especially when he threatened his family directly, he really didn't dare to use his family to test whether Chen Mo really meant it. This young governor not only had a lot of tricks in war, but now it seems that he is also a kind-hearted but evil-minded man. The happy scene with Wei Ji before made many people have illusions.

"Tomorrow." Chen Mo patted his head, stood up, looked at everyone and said: "If I can't see it, you and your families will be imprisoned first. Dian Wei, send someone to watch them. If one person is missing tomorrow, you will be asked."

"Yes~"
