Chapter 63: Difficulties

Coming out of Bao Hong, Chen Mo's spirit was a little trance-like.

Six million, as far as he is concerned, before this, sixty thousand can stump him, let alone six million, this number is so big that he doesn't even have much concept, beyond his imagination.

"Marquis, what happened?" Bao Geng, Da Lang and others came up and looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

"Nothing." Shaking his head, Chen Mo said: "Let's go and rest, starting tomorrow, there are still many battles to be fought." ”

If only making money was as simple as fighting a war, at least you knew what to do.

Finding his room, Chen Mo lay on the bed, silently looking at the training content in the dream training camp given to him by the system immortals, 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 captain, how can you get money?

Abandon? That's impossible, the opportunity is in front of him, no matter how difficult it is, he won't retreat, but there seem to be some things in this world that he can't do with all his strength now, such as...... A method of accumulating a large amount of wealth in a short period of time without breaking the law.

The gods don't have it here, so they can only figure it out by themselves.

After silently worshipping the system immortals, Chen Mo lay on the bed, for the first time in his life, he had insomnia, when his mentor Zang Hong hated the matter of selling his official beard, and even resigned directly and returned to his hometown, and now when Chen Mo faced this problem, he also had the same thought.

In this world, there is no help!

But really don't do it? Chen Mo was a little unwilling, for so many years, he had tried his best to strengthen himself and learn all the knowledge he could learn, in order to retreat when necessary?

The teacher has his own ideas, but Chen Mo doesn't want to follow the old path of the teacher, he wants power, he wants fame, he wants to revitalize his family, he wants these, he can't leave as chic as Zang Hong, he really has no official body, what will he do to support his family? Mother will follow her to live a hard life again? And Yun Si, Juan'er.

Or go back to the teacher and lick your face to eat and drink?

Although he is indeed thick-skinned, he still can't do this kind of thing.

In the next few days, Bao Hong went to deploy according to Chen Mo's strategy, contacted Runan and Qianjun Taishou, and asked Qianjun Taishou to send troops to contain the Gepi thieves in Panhuan and Qiaojun, and could not evacuate easily, and then gathered troops and horses to quickly take the nearest Song County.

Then, in the following month, he continued to harass the grain road of the Gepi thieves, so that he could focus on the grain road, and Zhong Yun led the army to easily capture the city father, and Bao Hong personally led the troops and horses to capture Shansang.

At this point, Chen Mo's plan was half completed, and the five-year pass of Zhongping was quietly passed, and the time came to the sixth year of Zhongping, this year, Chen Mo was fifteen years old, during this time, with Runan County to recover more than a dozen cities one after another, Ge Pi thieves had already found out at this time, and wanted to save them, but the city father and Song County had a large number of Runan County soldiers stationed, and it was difficult to capture it urgently, so he had to give up Qian County, and detour to Shansang to retreat to Shouchun.

At the end of January, the main force of the Gepi thieves was defeated in a battle, and Huang Shao, the leader of the Gepi thieves, was successfully shot in the chaos, and the other thief leader Liu Pi took advantage of the chaos to escape, and disappeared, and a large number of Gepi thieves were captured.

At this point, the battle of the Gepi thieves came to an end, and the counties began to regain the lost territory, and in less than half a month, the Gepi thieves completely disappeared, although there were still remnants of the sins, but it was difficult to pose a threat anymore.

At the beginning of February, the imperial court issued an edict to reward the three armies, and ordered the military academy to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to receive the reward.

……

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

"Your Majesty, this son was chosen when he was the first to be selected." Jian Shuo hurriedly leaned in and said with a smile: "It is the most outstanding one among the selected generals in Xiyuan this time." ”

"Then why is it just a military marquis?" Liu Hong frowned and said, since he is a talent, and he is a general selected by Xiyuan, he is his descendant, so he should be a military Sima anyway, and it will be easier to take over the position of the eighth school of Xiyuan in the future.

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything!" Jian Shuo was obviously prepared, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Although this son is talented, he is too young, he is only fourteen at the time, and his strength is insufficient, how can he compete with others?" If it weren't for the slaves who cherished their talents and favored them, I am afraid that such a young hero would be difficult to be selected. ”

"I know how to be flexible, that is, this son is only fifteen years old now?" Liu Hong was a little surprised.

"Exactly." Jian Shuo nodded.

"Although there are a lot of prodigies in my Han over the years, it has been a long time since there has been such a young talent with both civil and military skills, but this time he has been promoted to ......" Liu Hong was a little difficult, he wanted to bring his own people up, the original Xiyuan Eighth School was kicked out of the new army, but Yuan Shao suppressed bandits in Jizhou, quite effective, even if it was the Son of Heaven, he could not remove the meritorious minister at will without reason, I thought that Bao Hong could be kicked away, who knew that Bao Hong, a general who had a mediocre performance in the past, gave Liu Hong an unexpected surprise this time.

It is naturally a good thing that the imperial court wins, but this also means that Bao Hong can't move, and he wants all the military power in Xiyuan still hasn't improved.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Chen Mo's work is far from this." Qian Shuo bowed and said: "Your Majesty should know that in this new army, the military marquis and the military Sima are all selected by slaves and maids, according to these people, Chen Mo first arrived in Runan, he relieved the siege of Nanton, and found that the strength of the Ge Pi thief is too large to be underestimated, but as soon as Bao Hong goes, he is ready to seek a decisive battle, Chen Mo dissuaded him on the spot, but failed to make Bao Hong change his original intention, and then Chen Mo took the initiative to apologize to Bao Hong, and Bao Hong used Chen Mo's plan, but it became a strategy that he and Chen Mo came up with together. ”

"I don't have much ability, but the official authority is not small! Such a person with a small amount of energy is also worthy of being a general? Liu Hong didn't look down on Bao Hong recommended by the general, but when he heard the words at this moment, he was even more dissatisfied.

"Not only that, according to the information obtained by the slave maid, every time Bao Hong makes a decision, he will avoid everyone and discuss with Chen Mo in advance." Jian Shuo laughed.

"There is no dissatisfaction with this son?" Liu Hong frowned.

"It is said that it was Chen Mo who took the initiative to give up the credit, so that Bao Hongken listened to his strategy." Jian Shuo sighed.

"Heh~" Liu Hong sneered when he heard this: "He is really a good courtier, he has no ability to fight, and there are many ways to grab credit." ”

"Who's to say it's not." Jian Shuo nodded, and followed Liu Hong with contempt.

"It's Chen Mo's son, who is young, but he is quite generous and can take care of the overall situation, yes, what is this son's life experience?" Liu Hong asked.

"Speaking of which, it is also a scholar clan, a child of the Huaipu Chen family, but it is a side branch, and the family is in the middle of the road, and then in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, worshiped Zang Hong as a teacher, and was recommended as a boy last year, went to Taixue, and was also rated as a capable official of Qingping and a hero of troubled times by Xu Zijiang." Jian Shuo laughed.

"I do have some ability, and I am the person you chose, but even so, Bao Hong has won the credit this time, and it is not easy to move." Liu Hong frowned.

Don't care what others say, Bao Hong, as the main general, cannot erase the credit for winning this battle.

"Your Majesty, the old slave heard that Bao Hong has a greedy personality and has been greedy for ink before, but there is no evidence, plus not much, and he took the initiative to donate money to atone for his crimes. Jian Shuo said with a smile.

Liu Hong nodded when he heard this: "But even so, then Chen Mo is just a military horse, and with his merits, it is not enough to be promoted two levels in a row!" ”

The fifteen-year-old lieutenant, and he was promoted unusually, it will inevitably attract criticism, and the position of the eighth school in the West Garden, but many people are staring at it.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has a plan, maybe Chen Mo can take over the post of lieutenant in the name of the next military academy." Jian Shuo pondered.

"Speak." Liu Hong held on to the table, looked at the bamboo slips in front of him, and said indifferently.

"The matter of greedy ink can make Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan secretly investigate, but it will not be triggered, Your Majesty will reward a batch of them first, and promote Chen Mo to the military commander." Jian Shuo bowed down and said: "When the three armies return to Luoyang, then ask Huang Wan to impeach Bao Hong, and at the same time order someone to conduct a thorough investigation, focusing on the war in Runan, and find out that Bao Hong has captured Chen Mo's merits, and then promote Chen Mo to the rank of lieutenant, there will not be too much resistance." ”

Don't look at Jian Shuo's military training, but these twists and turns in the officialdom, he knows it well and is full of wisdom, as for why he wants to speak for Chen Mo, there is no way, the selected Xiyuan generals, none of them can take the record of participating in the war this time, and some even died directly on the battlefield, only Chen Mo's performance is quite eye-catching, no matter how much he looked down on Chen Mo at that time, but now at this time, he can only take out Chen Mo, who has the best record, to Liu Hong first.

"Not bad." Liu Hong nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Immediately pass the edict, Bao Hong's subordinates will be rewarded, Chen Mo will be promoted to military Sima for his merits, and the rewards of the three armies will be rewarded after they return to Luoyang, and urge Bao Hong to return to the city as soon as possible." ”

"Slaves obey!" Qian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and promised to bow down and retreat, he passed this level, although he failed to put a child of a family like Yuan Shao in the air, but at least, the first colonel of the lower army can get it back, as for the rest, let's figure it out slowly in the future.

When the edict reached Bao Hong's side, it was already five days later, and Bao Hong's troops had already marched to Jiaxian.

Chen Mo was somewhat disappointed that he was only promoted to military commander, he didn't have to take six million, but this official didn't seem to have his own share.

"Don't be discouraged, you can't be named a lieutenant this time, he will definitely have a chance one day, you are still young, with your ability, he may not be able to be a lieutenant general one day." Bao Hong is obviously in a good mood at the moment, his credit this time is that he can't be promoted, and he can accumulate a lot of capital, and when he fights again, it's almost enough, and at that time, even Yuan Shao won't dare to despise himself anymore, right?

Chen Mo could only nod, Jun Sima is not bad, at least the number of soldiers and horses under his command has doubled, and the number of soldiers and horses will increase a lot, as for being promoted to captain, it seems that it is indeed difficult at his own age, and it just so happens that he also has time to think about six million, during this time, six million has almost become a nightmare on his head, making him toss and turn every day.
