At the end of the summer of the seventh year of Han Teaching, the autumn harvest was approaching, and it was also the time when Chen Mo ushered in the birth of his fourth child.

Chen Mo, who has already had three experiences, is not as helpless as Chen Jin was when he was born for the fourth time.

In the courtyard, a group of healthy women came in and out, and the blood basins that came out from time to time were shocking.

However, his fourth child seems to be in some calamity, it has been six hours, and he has not yet been born, Chen Mo gradually frowned, Zhen Mi has a young phoenix life, according to his own understanding, there should be no accident.

Nothing will happen, right?

Chen Mo stood up and wanted to take a look, but was pulled by his mother.

"Don't panic, this is normal, life is in the world, this birth is a catastrophe, some people are blessed, it will not be too difficult, but some people are not blessed, and they may suffer some twists and turns."

The concept of the older generation is more believing in these things, and the Chen family also believes in God.

Cai Yan also persuaded on the side: "My husband can't help anything in the past, why don't you think about the name of this newborn child?" ”

Chen Mo nodded, frowned, and said, "Let's call Chen Rui, I hope he can be accessible and wise." ”

"What if it's a daughter?" Yun Si said curiously.

"It's called Chen Rui." Although Chen Mo felt that since it was a young phoenix, it would not be a daughter, but it was not easy to say it directly, which inevitably made Juan'er think more, but this name was only because of the same sound, and it did not have any special meaning, because Chen Mo knew that his fourth son must be a man.

"It's easy for my husband." Cai Yan chuckled.

The atmosphere relaxed a little, and after another hour or so, Chen Mo's fourth son finally came into the world.

"Congratulations to the general, it's a son~" A steady woman walked out quickly and saluted Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had expected it, but there was no big expression, but Chen's mother was very happy in her heart, for her, the more men in the Chen family, the more prosperous it was.

Chen Mo accompanied his mother and a group of wives and concubines into the room to see his fourth child, the little one had just been born, lying in swaddling clothes and sleeping soundly, Zhen Mi's face was a little pale.

"Madame, hard work." Chen Mo stretched out his hand, supported Zhen Mi, took the wet wipes handed by the maid, and helped her wipe her sweat: "Don't care about these false courtesies." ”

After comforting Zhen Mi to sleep and accompanying her a lot of words, Zhen Mi was too tired and gradually fell asleep, Chen Mo got up and looked at his son.

Hatchling's life? Same with Jin'er.

In order to determine whether Chen Jin's life character is unique, Chen Mo has seen many life qualities of the young sons of Wenchen military generals, even Chen Zheng is just a young tiger life character, and the subsequent growth routes also have their own characteristics, his eldest son and youngest son have a young dragon life character, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse?

Looking at his infant son, Chen Mo felt a little complicated in his heart, if he could, he would have hoped that he would not have this fate, but after all, it was his own blood and bones, and he had come to this world, Chen Mo could not harm him.

Alas~

Sighing silently in his heart, Chen Mo took the swaddling clothes, looked at the wrinkled little guy, and suddenly smiled, what is the future, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven.

The general's son is naturally a big event for the Luoyang court, and the officials of the DPRK and China have sent congratulatory gifts, that is, the officials who are outside, as long as they can have some friendship with Chen Mo, they have also sent letters to congratulate, and even Cao Cao, after hearing the news, also sent someone to send congratulatory gifts, although the two are now eager to destroy each other immediately, but they are quite friendly in these private matters, this relationship can be said to be quite complicated, and it is not clear to see.

At the end of the year, the Yellow River had a levee burst, which was not too big, but it also affected the livelihood of the people along the river in Hanoi, Chen Jin was promoted to the county because of his contribution to assisting the county order to control the water, which is reasonable and well-founded, although the name is somewhat surprising, but it has not attracted the attention of the upper echelons, the promotion of the county has a lot to do with the recommendation of the county order, no one will believe that Chen Mo's son, the general's son-in-law will be a third elder.

Chen Jin was sent to the position of the county chief by Chen Mo [Lonely City Study] by Chen Mo [Lonely City Study] by such means, after a year of entering the office.

If according to the old system, this is already the highest height that ordinary officials can reach, the Han Dynasty has been awarded for seven years, and it is not peaceful to say that Taiping, the Qiang people in Xiliang still have riots from time to time, and they were suppressed by Xu Rong and Huaxiong, but if you compare with previous years, you will find that the intensity of the Qiang rebellion has been decreasing year by year in recent years.

In addition, the northern border Xianbei is still the same as in previous years to the south, even if Karasuma was almost wiped out last year, but it can't bear the hunger, many times, the Hu people go south is not the meaning of Shan Yu, but the private decision of those tribes themselves, the Xianbei royal court's control over the tribes under its rule is far less strong than the Han court's control of the county.

However, without dominance, it will naturally not be as strong as in previous years, and this year Youzhou ushered in two ruthless people, one Tai Shici, one Zhao Yun, plus Lu Bu of Bingzhou, many tribes were directly exterminated, although the Han side, there are also losses, but compared with previous years, this time Hu trouble, more than ten times weaker, almost all of them are stragglers who bravely went south, and then were driven and hunted down.

In the Central Plains, the friction between the two major forces of Chen Mo and Cao Cao has also intensified, Xingyang, Nanyang and Qinghe and other places, the scale of the confrontation between the border generals of the two sides, as well as the mutual bribery and infiltration, the war has reached the verge of breaking out.

"General!" Winter solstice, Luoyang Imperial Court, Liu Neng had a rare early court today, looked at Chen Mo and asked: "I know that the general has a son, this war should not be discussed with the general at this time, but Nanyang, Xingyang, Qinghe, Puyang and other places continue to come to the emergency, now the river is gradually frozen, once the river is completely frozen, a big war is inevitable, I don't know if the general can deal with it?" ”

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, if the general trend is so far, no one can avoid it." Chen Mo came out of the queue and saluted Liu Neng slightly: "This campaign is different from the past, the minister has mobilized troops and horses from all over the country to prepare for this battle, Your Majesty does not need to worry." ”

Now there are too many borders between Chen Mo and Cao Cao, and the Central Plains is a flat river, but it also means that Cao Cao can attack a lot of places, the two sides of this war, it is impossible to concentrate on one point like the previous wars, once the war starts, it is a full-scale war, so this time Chen Mo is not ready to go to the army, the generals everywhere lead the troops to fight, until the decisive battle, Chen Mo will not easily leave Luoyang, he wants to ensure the stability of Luoyang, the implementation of the decrees everywhere and the control of the overall situation, and make up for the leaks in time.

"With the general's words, I am relieved." Liu Neng smiled and said.

No matter how much Chen Mo is rejected in his heart, but this war that determines the hegemony of the Central Plains, except for Chen Mo, there is really no one in the DPRK and China who can preside over it.

And the main generals of all parties are also from Chen Mo's subordinates, at this time, if they want to seize power with Chen Mo, even if they really let him seize it, I am afraid that it will be followed by mutinies in various places, this result, Liu Neng can't afford it, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can't afford it.

……

On the other side, Cao Cao's side is also actively preparing for the war, Liu Wei is young and can't take charge, Cao Cao's side is simpler than Chen Mo, Cao Cao directly discussed the matter with everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Where do you think this battle should begin?" Cao Cao looked at the group of strategists and asked.

Cheng Yu pondered: "Nanyang is a place to communicate between the north and the south, if our army wants to get Liu Biao's support and join forces with Liu Biao, it can't take Nanyang as the mainstay. ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "But the battle of Karasuma made Chen Mo quite popular in the north, and his generals Wu Yi and Xu Huang were all presiding over the war in Jizhou. ”

Cao Cao nodded, Chen Mo broke the Karasuma, and the political benefits brought to him were far greater than the destruction of the Karasuma itself, and Jizhou and Youzhou could not be the main direction of attack.

"In this way, there is only one way left to attack Luoyang." Guo Jia smiled.

"But Luoyang has eight passes to defend, the tiger prison is strong, the princes have not been able to conquer millions of soldiers and horses back then, and now Chen Mo has been operating in Luoyang for several years, and the puppet court is also the capital here, I'm afraid it will ......" Cheng Yu frowned when he heard this.

"In the past, the princes were uneven, difficult to overcome, now the lord has possessed the land of the four states of the Central Plains, gathering heavy troops to attack it, it is not impossible to try, although Luoyang has eight passes, but it is precisely because of this that it is more prone to negligence, and although Luoyang is difficult to overcome, it is also Chen Mo's pivot place, once Luoyang is lost, Chen Mo can only retreat to the pass, so that the contact with Jizhou will inevitably be alienated, I only need to hold Luoyang when I wait, and then I can go all out to attack Jizhou." Guo Jia smiled.

Although this also made them a realm of enemies on all sides, Jizhou and Youzhou basically fell under their control and became the first princes in the world, and the threat of Liu Biao and Jiangdong would be difficult to shake them.

This is also Cao Cao's helplessness, Chen Mo destroyed Cao Cao, only one battle, but Cao Cao wanted to break Chen Mo, he could only go to Luoyang first, and then take the two states of Youji, and then he could attack Guanzhong, and among them, there were too many variables, Jingzhou and Jiangdong's reaction could not be ignored, maybe Cao Cao might not be able to see the unification of the world in his lifetime, and once Chen Mo won this battle, he would be able to win the Central Plains, and the rest of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, and Shu would be difficult to shake Chen Mo's status.

From this point of view, Chen Mo actually has an advantage over Cao Cao, even if the troops that the two sides can mobilize now, and the population under his rule is not much different, but Chen Mo occupies a favorable position, which he has planned from the beginning, and now, the advantage is gradually revealed, Chen Mo's worries are far less than Cao Cao's.

Cao Cao nodded, he was also more inclined to Xun Yu and Guo Jia's strategy, although Cheng Yu's strategy was safe, but it took longer, and if he worked hard, Cao Cao felt that he couldn't fight Chen Mo, so he could only hope to finish his work in one battle.
