The 8,000 Xiyuan New Army was divided into eight battalions, and at the beginning, those elites recruited from various states were the Shang Army, and it was also the largest battalion, which was under the command of Qian Shuo.

The remaining fifteen were divided into seven other people.

When Chen Mo learned that Cao Cao was actually a military captain, he was also a little shocked, no wonder Cao Cao's luck was not much different from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other famous children last time.

Accidentally? Yes.

Chen Mo had thought that there would be children of the Yuan family in the battle for the new army in the West Garden, but he never thought that Cao Cao would also be among them, of course, as one of his few friends in Luoyang, Cao Cao was able to enter the West Garden and hold the military power, Chen Mo was still happy for Cao Cao.

However, Chen Mo speculated before that this new army should be an important chess piece for the Son of Heaven to restrict the military power of the great general He Jin, and Cao Cao entered it at this time, which force is it?

Emperor? What to do? Or is it a scholar?

"Chen Mo!" Just as Chen Mo was thinking about these messy questions, Qian Shuo's voice brought him back to his senses.

"The last general!" Chen Mo took a step forward and said loudly.

"From now on, your troops and horses will be merged into the account of Bao Hong, the commander of the lower military academy." Qian Shuo handed a token to Chen Modao.

"The last general commands!" Chen Mo took the token and bowed to Qian Shuo.

"If you are good at training the army, the court will have your own time." Qian Shuo nodded, looked at Chen Mo with encouragement, the smile on his face made Chen Mo a little cold, the chief general of the Xiyuan Army, it is better not to laugh, and it is still a little majestic, this laugh, but there is a feeling of neither yin nor yang, which makes people uncomfortable.

Qian Shuo is a lieutenant of the military academy, and the eight schools of Xiyuan are nominally under his jurisdiction, of course, in fact, Qian Shuo is only the spokesperson of the Son of Heaven, and these generals selected by Xiyuan are loyal to the Son of Heaven from the very beginning, the meaning of Qian Shuo's words, Chen Mo naturally understood, and nodded quietly: "General rest assured, the last general will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Qian Shuo didn't look down on Chen Mo at the beginning, just like the soldiers under Chen Mo, even if it was a new soldier, he was dissatisfied with this young young military marquis, not to mention Qian Shuo.

It's just that judging from the final result, what Gao Shun said at the beginning was really right, Chen Mo was the last to lead his own soldiers and horses, but he was the first person to obey the army under his command, at least in terms of governing the army, Chen Mo is just like Gao Shun said at the beginning, among this group of generals, he is the most powerful one.

But at this point, it is impossible for Qian Shuo to take back the order, but his attitude towards Chen Mo has changed slightly, he used to be a bastard who mixed in, but now, he is a talent who is enough to support and help him, and now Qian Shuo attaches great importance to Chen Mo, and even intends to transfer Chen Mo to his direct command.

Bao Hong? Former Tun Cavalry Captain?

Chen Mo's mind flashed Bao Hong's information, he had inquired about these people after learning about the quota of the eighth school before, Bao Hong should belong to He Jin's person, and his background is not deep, that is to say, he is likely to become an outcast.

Although there are some regrets that he can't work with Cao Cao, if it is Bao Hong, is it possible for him to replace this person in the future?

If you can take charge of a camp alone, it will definitely be of great benefit to your career.

did not go to see the main general, the Xiyuan Army had to participate in the parade this time, and after meeting the Son of Heaven, it would be classified into each battalion according to their respective formations.

After the distribution of soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Qian Shuo, the new army of 8,000 Xiyuan lined up in a neat queue and drove to Ping Optimistic, who had already built two high platforms, one high and one low, the high one was where Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, paraded, and the slightly lower one was where the general He Jin stayed.

The three armies lined up, and the first to enter was Qian Shuo's five men and horses, but seeing Ping Ping's optimism, the flag was blue and the sky was clear, and there were many swords and guns, Liu Hong stood under the canopy, looked down at the neat array, smiled and brushed his beard and said: "Qian Shuo did a good job this time." ”

"Your Majesty has the ability to read people." Zhang Rang, who was standing beside Liu Hong, smiled and said, Qian Shuo is in charge of the military power, which is equivalent to the ten permanent servants in charge of the military power, so that there is a little less scruple in the game with He Jin.

Don't look at He Jin's troops, but he is still Hanchen, he can't directly lead the troops to fight against the Son of Heaven, in that case, I'm afraid that the soldiers of the three armies will not obey him, this kind of thing is military power, in the hand, it is a bargaining chip, no matter how fierce the eunuchs and generals, and the scholar group are, they can't really move troops, but if one side doesn't have it, it's another situation.

Although the eight thousand new army is still not as good as He Jin, at least, they don't have to be afraid of He Jin in this regard, and now not only Liu Hong is in a good mood when he looks at this mighty army, but Zhang Rang and others are also in a good mood when they look at these soldiers and horses.

Sitting on the small altar in the northeast, He Jin looked at these new soldiers, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, what does Your Majesty mean by this? Not sure about yourself?

"Don't be angry, general." He Hao, who was standing next to He Jin, looked at the soldiers and horses in the field, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was bewitched by the eunuchs, so he handed over this military power to the eunuchs, although the eunuchs got the military power, but as far as Hao knows, this army has only been in force for a few months, and the combat power is not strong, and it is not difficult to weaken it." ”

"This matter will be discussed later." He Jin waved his hand and said, this matter is not suitable for discussion now, and it is the evidence of attacking himself.

"Whoa!" He Hao didn't say anything more when he heard this, stood beside He Jin, and looked at this scene with a smile.

The Xiyuan New Army went back and forth three times in Pingchang, Liu Hong wore armor, came to the front of the army to inspire the soldiers, and proclaimed himself the supreme general, and ordered the soldiers of the New Army to be stationed in Pingping, and only left after being optimistic.

As soon as the Son of Heaven left, He Jin and the others naturally did not continue to stay, and they got up and left the table one after another.

"Mengde?" Bao Hongzheng arranged for the soldiers to start camping, and when he saw that Cao Cao didn't care about his own soldiers and horses but came to his own place, he was a little puzzled, and said with a slight salute: "Why did you come to my side?" ”

"When I was just performing the army, I saw an old man here, and I came to visit." Cao Cao and Bao Hong didn't have too much hypocrisy, so they just exchanged two words of greeting and went straight to the point.

"The deceased?" Bao Hong glanced back at the two soldiers under his command.

"Chen Mo, do you have any impressions?" Cao Cao laughed.

"I've got an army under my account." Bao Hong suddenly reacted when he heard this, looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Isn't it the boy who was rated as a capable official of Qingping by the quilt?" Before, I only thought it was the same name, but I didn't want to be this person! But somehow came to the new army. ”

"I'm not a boy anymore." Cao Cao shook his head, I am afraid that this matter is related to Lu Zhi, Chen Mo's travel, it was after going to Lu Zhi's mansion, Xiyuan Elect General even Yuan Shao knew afterwards, his little brother had no way to come in, if it wasn't for Lu Zhi, Cao Cao couldn't think of a second person, he saw Chen Mo coming, and said to Bao Hong: "Find him something, and I'll say hello later." ”

"It's fine." Bao Hong glanced at Chen Mo in surprise, and after bowing his head, he turned around and left.

"Brother Xian, you are hiding it for your brother this time." Cao Cao punched Chen Mo in the chest, shook his head and smiled.

"I didn't mean to hide it, but the younger brother promised Lu Gong that this matter would never be spread out." Chen Mo said apologetically: "And since entering the West Garden, it has been forbidden to go out again." ”

"At the age of fourteen, he served as a military marquis, and it is not common to look at the Han Dynasty for more than 300 years!" Cao Cao took Chen Mo to the side and said with a smile: "I just looked at your military formation, but it is not inferior to the elite at all, and I don't want the virtuous brother to have such attainments in military training." ”

"It was taught by a senior, and if it weren't for that, how could I compare with others?" Chen Mo shook his head when he heard this, this time he was selected as a general in the West Garden, he gained a lot, he learned to train with Gao Shun, and the forging body has also become a strong body, in terms of physical strength alone, he is not much different from those military marquis and military horses in the military camp, which is also the reason why he can quickly suppress those recruits under his command, there is a sentence Gao Shun is right, the most admired in the army is the strong.

"I can make the virtuous brother so respectful, I will definitely visit one or two another day." Cao Cao only regarded Chen Mo as a polite, and his little brother was an all-rounder.

"Brother, I'm asking for something." Chen Mo glanced at Bao Hong's direction and asked, "Are you familiar with Bao Hong?" ”

"Nodding friends, this person is ambitious and talented, and he is good at drilling." Cao Cao glanced at Bao Hong and shook his head, although he didn't say it, the contempt at that moment was still captured by Chen Mo.

"Why did Brother Xian ask about this person?" Cao Cao wondered.

"After all, under General Bao, it's always good to know something, and if the elder brother is familiar with Bao Hong, the younger brother can also have an easier life." Chen Mo smiled.

"You're not like that." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, he didn't believe a word about Chen Mo's words, although his little brother was not very old, but after getting along for so long, Cao Cao still understood it, looking easy-going, he could get along with anyone, but he had his arrogance in his bones, he could get along, but if he really intersected, you didn't have much ability, and I am afraid that my little brother would not be able to look down on him, let alone stammer, he would bow his head, but he would not stutter, although his little brother was not very old, he was quite proficient in the way of life.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't say anything, Cao Cao wouldn't ask more, he believed that Chen Mo was measured.

"After today's business, follow me out of the camp, and we will have a banquet in the warm pavilion in early spring." Cao Cao laughed.

"This ......" Chen Mo frowned and said, "There are rules in the army......"

"Ordinary sergeants are like this, but you are now a military marquis, when the time comes, talk to Bao Hong, you are invited, and Bao Hong will never stop you." Cao Cao said with a smile: "You haven't interacted with anyone for more than a month, I know that the virtuous brother has the ability, but in this Luoyang, no matter how great the ability is, if there is no one to support you, you can't go far." ”

Chen Mo agrees with this, how is Gao Shun's ability? Chen Mo knows very well, but such a character can only be in charge of military training in the West Garden, and even was imprisoned after a little conflict with Qian Shuo, and no one cares about it for so long, which is a bit sad, but the reality is that a person's strength is not only himself, but also those connections, of course, if you are not strong enough, no matter how many connections you have, it is useless.
