Chapter 7 Trivia
In the afternoon of early spring, the sun was shining warmly, and the Chen Mansion and Cai Mansion in Anyi County had already begun to prepare for the marriage, and the sound of the piano seemed to be a little joyful and apprehensive.
Chen's mother met Cai Yong accompanied by Zang Hong, for this great Confucian in the world, Chen's mother showed enough respect for her son to marry Cai Yong's daughter, which was a few years ago, Chen's mother couldn't think of it, the only thing that made her a little awkward was that Cai Yan remarried after all, although in this era, this is not an unacceptable thing, not to mention Cai Yan's background, which is enough to make people forget these small flaws.
"In this way, Madame is also the queen of the official eunuch." The marriage has basically been decided, but the days have to wait for Chen Mo to come back before talking, Cai Yong is not surprised by Chen's mother's background, Chen Mo's knowledge can be attributed to talent, but some cultivation is a habit cultivated since childhood, which is difficult for ordinary children to develop.
"It's a matter of our ancestors." Mother Chen shook her head.
"Bo Jiaogong, this time I came to Anyi, it is better to stay in Anyi, I heard Bo Dao say that he wants to open a academy in Anyi, if Bo Jiaogong can stay in Anyi, it is also a good thing for a village to stand in the world." Zang Hong knew that Chen's mother didn't want to talk about this, so he smiled and took over the topic.
"Now that the imperial court is in trouble, Your Majesty is young, Dong Zhuo ......" Cai Yong shook his head and sighed: "After the imperial court is stable, the old man will naturally come." ”
Zang Hong nodded and said no more, just like Zang Hong himself couldn't abandon Zhang Chao because of Chen Mo, Cai Yong also had his own morality, which was difficult for a strong man.
Regarding the marriage, the three of them have already discussed it, and the next thing is to talk about some customs and customs, the atmosphere is more relaxed, and when it was almost evening, the two politely declined Cai Yong's invitation and got up to return to Chen's mansion.
Although the war is only less than 100 miles away, it is difficult for most of the people living in Hedong to feel the atmosphere of war.
Spring ploughing has arrived, whether it is from Luoyang migrated to the people or originally lived in Hedong people, this is a busy season, last year Chen Mo to promote the new manure has been successful, this year to the entire Anyi promotion, most of the people for this year is very much looking forward to this year, which means that as long as there is no natural disaster this year, there will be a good harvest.
The production method of manure, Chen Mo has already left a copy here, this year the county government will help make it in each county, instead of focusing on production as last year, but the method and proportion, still choose to keep it strictly secret, Chen Mo naturally hopes that everyone in the world can be fed and clothed, but in the current era of princes, taking the initiative to send this method is tantamount to the enemy.
Chen Mo also knew that as time went by, these things would leak out sooner or later, but before that, he still had to try to keep this secret as much as possible, and it would be good to be a little later.
Back in the house, the sun has set, Yun Si and Juan'er obediently serve Chen's mother to eat and wash, as Chen Mo's concubine, Yun Si knows very well that in the future, in this family, not only must be respectful to the upcoming lady, but also to Chen Mo's mother, it will be even more respectful.
For Yun Si, Chen's mother didn't deliberately embarrass her, but she wouldn't really look at it as a daughter-in-law, especially after following Chen Mo for two years, there was no movement in her stomach, which made Chen's mother a little disappointed, but in addition, she was quite satisfied.
……
Compared with Anyi's leisure, Chen Mo's side will naturally not be as idle as Anyi, although the soldiers and horses of Yang County did not come over, but Xiangling and Pingyang have been out of the control of the Han Dynasty for a long time, and what they do is subject to the patriarchal law, but the court law has been respected for a long time, and now the court law is reactivated, and the contradictions and conflicts in it are enough to give people a headache when they are constrained by the patriarchy.
Chen Mo is okay, what he has to do is to hand things over to the right people to do, although there are thousands of things, but they can always sort it out little by little, but Cui Geng and Zhong Yun, who are the executors, have been busy these days, and they never thought that managing a county would be so difficult, you must know that when they took Hedong, they did not manage one or two counties, and they were not as tired as they are now.
In fact, the problem of Xiangling and Pingyang, the counties in Hedong more or less exist, but not as serious as here, this time Chen Mo obviously wants to completely wipe out the two counties, so the intensity is a little fierce, there is nothing big in the city, what really matters is between the townships outside the city, most of these days the two of them stay outside the city, running between the townships, in order to avoid trouble, each of them also brought a song of people and horses with them.
There are many contradictions between the clans and the common people, as well as between the people who have migrated and these clans, and these things alone make people's heads swell, not to mention that they have to raise grain and grass without missing farming, and even have to let women run to carry grain and grass or go to the fields to work in the distribution of manpower.
"Lord, it's written!" Dian Wei came to Chen Mo's side with a tired face, and put down the thousand-character text he had written, which looked more tiring than fighting a tough battle.
"Ten times a thousand words, you have written for fifteen days?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei's appearance as if he hadn't woken up, a little angry and funny, especially the word...... Chen Mo felt that he could write this number with his feet.
Dian Wei nodded sullenly, God knows what he has experienced in the past fifteen days, he has already made up his mind, in the future, he must control his mouth, try to talk less or not at all, others can't do anything about him, but Chen Mo's method of torturing him makes him worse than death.
"You're much older than me, and you shouldn't have been taught by me." Chen Mo read these bamboo slips seriously and said, "But since you are in the army, and now you are a general, you can't even recognize the words, right?" ”
"Lord, I'll be a guard by your side, as long as you don't let me read and write, Dian Wei has nothing else to ask for." Dian Wei cried and mourned, his face full of meat, but he looked a little aggrieved at the moment.
"You!" Chen Mo was helpless, looked at the thousand-character text on the table and said: "Okay, if you can recognize these words, most things will be understood, and you can be considered literate, go back and prepare, and follow me to Yang County to have a look." ”
"To fight?" Dian Wei's eyes lit up.
"I can't say." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Yang County has been a little chaotic recently, but I'm not sure if it will be beaten, let's go and join Gao Shun, it's best to take Yang County without blood, so that only Yongan is left to deal with, let's go and meet Gao Shun." ”
Chen Mo doesn't really want to fight, he has to die if he fights, this is his own territory, and it is best if he can not fight.
"Well, I'm going to recruit people at the end!" Dian Wei was instantly refreshed, and the battlefield was more suitable for him than reading and writing.
It's hopeless!
Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, took off the Chengyuan sword from the wall and hung it on his waist, Chen Mo didn't know much about the current situation in Yang County, Yang Feng now imitated the township joint defense he did in Hedong now makes Chen Mo a little headache, it is difficult for scouts to infiltrate it, it seems that this Yang Feng is also a talent, but unfortunately, the two allies Hu Cai and Li Le dragged their feet, otherwise if Xiangling and Pingyang did the same at the beginning, Chen Mo really didn't dare to say that he could break through the second city so easily.
The teacher is right, there are many people in this world, and there are such characters among the white wave thieves, which somewhat made Chen Mo put away a little conceit.
With Dian Wei and the two soldiers, Chen Mo left Xiangling in the afternoon and went all the way up the Fen River to the dock fort established by Gao Shun.
This dock fort was built by the gentry in the countryside before, but after Chen Mo broke through Xiangling, most of the people who followed Hu Cai left, and Gao Shun took this dock fort as the foundation after some rest and reinforcement, and now it is a barrier between Xiangling and Yang County.
"These days, people will be sent to spy every day, and those villagers will immediately arrest strangers if they see them, and it is difficult for scouts in our army to infiltrate." In the dock fort, Gao Shun explained the situation in the last few days to Chen Mo in detail, and frowned: "What is the current situation in this Yang County, it is difficult to find out, but there are a lot of scouts. ”
"Then try it, send someone to order the country clan to return our soldiers with an arrow book, if the other party rises wolf smoke, we will block the country road, lead the troops to set up ambushes along the way, intercept and kill the thieves and reinforcements." Chen Mo already has a countermeasure for how to break the joint defense in this township, there are not many cavalry among the white wave thieves, and the mobility is not as good as his original self, he can use this point to make an ambush, and look at Yang Feng's reaction, and he will be able to roughly know what the situation in Yang County is.
"That's exactly what the last general means." Gao Shun said with a smile, this kind of siege and reinforcement style will often be used by the Hu people, and it is appropriate to use it at this time.
There is no need for Chen Mo to go to the next thing in person, Gao Shun has already figured out the terrain in this area, and after choosing the place for ambush, Chen Mo asked Dian Wei to run to those township dignitaries, and if he doesn't give it, he will fight, and the defense of the township village is naturally not comparable to the city.
Dian Wei scolded and let people shoot arrows, the brave in the village did not dare to go out of the camp, lit the wolf smoke, and recruited the thousands of people who patrolled nearby, and then was ambushed by Gao Shun, defeated and lost, and the remnants fled back to Yang County.
"My lord, they came to reinforcements, is there no civil strife?" Dian Wei handed the token to Chen Mo and asked.
"The three centaurs should be the centaurs who are already patrolling around." Chen Mo shook his head, looked at Gao Shun and said, "What does General Gao think?" ”
"Yang County's soldiers and horses, to say the least, there are 30,000, except for these three thousand-strong teams today, I haven't seen any reinforcements, I'm afraid it's really as the lord said, then there is already a gap between the three of Yang Feng!" Gao Shun pondered: "It's just that if our army sends troops at this time, the three of them will definitely join forces, and the last general thinks it's better to wait and see for the time being." ”
Chen Mo nodded and said: "But it won't take a few days, these days, you only send a small number of men and horses to attack and harass the townships, so that the troops they patrol are exhausted, and I brought two hundred Hun soldiers this time to use it." ”
"The last general commands!"
