Chapter 117: The Imperial Court Urgently Recruits
Lei Shou Mountain, new barracks.
Recently, a south wind has been blowing, and although the place where Chen Mo hoarded manure is more than ten miles away, he can still smell the stench wafting in the wind.
Gao Shun received Chen Mo's call today, and Da Lang was in charge of the training, and when he came to Chen Mo's side with a team of personal guards, he saw Chen Mo directing the farmers to export buckets of newly delivered manure and dry it with fire.
In the barracks, there was only a faint smell, but it was approaching at this time, and the overwhelming stench was suffocating, so I hurriedly took the wet wipes handed by my subordinates and tied them to my face to block my mouth and nose.
"Envoy" Gao Shun dismounted, and tried to open his eyes to find Chen Mo in a short coat in the crowd, and now he really looks like a country farmer.
"How did General Gao come here" Chen Mo rubbed the tears that were smoked out of the corners of his eyes, looked at Gao Shun and smiled, most of his face was tightly wrapped.
Although he did this when he was a child, it was the first time that it had been done on such a large scale.
"Make Jun the lord of a county, don't think about governing the country and strengthening the army, how" Gao Shun didn't know how to evaluate Chen Mo's behavior, he didn't take it seriously, but ran to get manure, this thing can be done by ordinary old farmers, why not Chen Mo and a Taishou will end up in person.
"You don't understand, when I was a child farming, I found that some manure improvement methods, different ratios, made manure fertility is different." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Now everyone makes manure is simply watering the manure, and it is easy to overdo it if you are not careful, but with my method, I guarantee that it will not be excessive, this year I will first test it in the official field, and after the harvest comes down, the production capacity per mu will increase by three percent, and then it will be promoted, so I don't need to do it myself, and now everyone will not, so bother." ”
Gao Shun looked at Chen Mo and smiled a little stiffly: "When the general was young, his interests were really unique. ”
Other people's children play with mud at most, but you do
Gao Shun doesn't know how to evaluate it, but if the yield per mu can really increase by 30%, it is indeed good news for them, at least there is no need to worry about taxes.
"What is interest, if you are poor, you will change, if you don't change your mind, you will starve to death, I have suffered this, so I hope that the people under my rule can live better." Chen Mo shook his head, and while instructing everyone to continue making manure, he asked, "How is the training of recruits?"
"After a month of hard training, the initial results have been achieved." Gao Shun bowed.
"Order a school of soldiers and horses, and then send someone to order Na Yufu Luo to bring troops to wait here, I want to go back to Anyi, arrange everything, and when I come back, I am going to take them to Luoyang." Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "During my trip to Luoyang, I was full of favor to exercise county affairs, and in addition to your military training, you sat in Hedong for me and inspected the counties, and the white wave thieves also need to pay attention to these thieves recently. ”
At the beginning of the first month, the Kwantung princes began to raise troops one after another, Dong Zhuo had already set up heavy troops to defend Yique Pass and Hangu Pass, and Chen Mo was also asked to return to Luoyang.
Chen Mo naturally wanted to go back, Yun Si and Juan'er were still staying in Luoyang, if he responded to the Kwantung princes at this time, they would be the first to suffer.
And this war is about the luck of the world, since Chen Mo already has the heart of self-reliance, he naturally can't stay out of the matter, in general terms, he should stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, but before Zang Hong sent someone to send a letter, hoping that Chen Mo could do his part in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, but how to choose, Chen Mo considered it himself.
Therefore, Chen Mo was ready to go back to Luoyang first, but Chen Mo was not prepared to bring the elite he brought at the beginning, no matter who he fought with, he was not ready to contribute, and it was best not to fight, even if it was two thousand new troops, Chen Mo did not want to lose, it was best to bring some more people, horses, property and population from Luoyang.
Hedong is a rich county, but if you go further north, the land of Bingzhou is barren, the population is thin, in short, there is a lack of everything, Chen Mo has to prepare for the future, and the money and food population will naturally not be enough at any time.
"Rest assured, the last general will immediately lead troops north to guard Linfen, but I don't know who you want to use when you return to Luoyang this time" Gao Shun nodded, and then asked.
Chen Mo's generals, Da Lang and he are now training in Leishou Mountain, but they can also go one, Zhong Yun and Cui Geng are already quite effective at the moment, now Hedong is restoring people's livelihood, and the household registration is also being strictly investigated, and the people Chen Mo can take away are probably Dian Wei, Yu Sheng and Bao Geng, but these three people are not too relieved, and they are not enough.
"The newly recruited Han Kai and Bai Bi are with the army, just enough for five military horses." Chen Mo smiled.
These two people are the people recommended by Wei Qi to Chen Mo, Wei Qi set up a banquet that day, these two people are also among the banquets, the two are also considered local wealthy families, they have some abilities, but their personalities are very different, Han Kai is serious, he is meticulous in doing things and speaking, Bai Bi has a bold temperament, he is brave and ruthless, but his martial arts are not bad, after Chen Mo took the test, he happily included the two of them in his account, but there is no formal appointment yet.
"Finally, I will go and count the people." Gao Shun took the order, and immediately said goodbye, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, I really don't know how Chen Mo can stay in this place all these days.
After Chen Mo saw Gao Shun leave, he explained in detail to the old farmers how to compost and how to make fertilizer, and then asked them to continue to do it during their absence, and only after the spring plowing began, how to cast, and then they got on the horse and went to Anyi.
After staying in Leishou Mountain for nearly a month, even if he leaves now, there is still a smell all over his body, Chen Mo did not go to see Man Pet immediately after arriving in Anyi, but asked people to boil water and prepare for a bath.
After changing into a Confucian robe, Chen Mo went to the main hall to see Manzhong.
"This time the envoy wants to respond to the alliance of the princes or the edict of the Son of Heaven" came to the lobby of the government office, and he didn't talk much nonsense, he went straight to the point, he has been very busy recently.
In order to prevent the decrees from being misinterpreted or over-interpreted, the full favor personally went to the counties to check, and now it is slightly on the right track, and it is the farming season, which is the busiest time of the year.
The Kwantung princes raised troops, in fact, Manpet is a little disgusted, even if you want to raise troops, wait until after the autumn harvest is not good, it is the time when the farm is busy to pull away the strong men, it is foreseeable that many people will die this winter, but this kind of thing, even if Manzhong is dissatisfied, there is no way to take care of it.
"I have asked Gao Shun to send 2,000 recruits to the division and the lieutenant department to return to Luoyang with me, and during my absence, I will ask Boning for all things in Hedong." Chen Mo smiled.
"Let you rest assured, pet here and make you return." Full Pet nodded.
For Chen Mo to only take two thousand soldiers and horses to Luoyang to deal with the errand, full of favor is very agreeable, although the Kwantung princes are huge, but Dong Zhuo holds the name of orthodoxy here, in fact, strictly speaking, the Kwantung princes have already rebelled, and the location of Hedong is too important, once Hedong joins the Kwantung Princes Alliance, then Dong Zhuo's first fight is Hedong, if you leave it alone, Chen Mo has the ability to cut off the road between Luoyang and Chang'an at the first time, and when the time comes, Dong Zhuo will die.
So this time Chen Mo personally led the troops into Luoyang, full of favor is very favorable, to resolve the siege of Hedong, and let Hedong have time to develop with peace of mind, as for the Kwantung princes called, the terrain of Hedong is protected by mountains and rivers, and the Kwantung princes want to fight, not only the detour is quite far, the terrain, the other party also suffers, and Hedong has the opportunity for stable development.
Moreover, Chen Mo handed over the hard-built foundation to him to manage, this feeling of being trusted, although there was no expression on his face, he was still quite grateful in his heart.
"In addition, there is one thing that please pay attention to." Full Pet smiled.
"Oh" It was rare to see a smile on the face of the full pet, Chen Mo smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Talent." Man Chong thought for a while and said: "If you want to take the state, you must first take Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places, these two counties are rich places in the state, and you need to be loyal enough to the people who make the king, in addition, the state is close to the Hetao, the north is Xianbei, no one in our army is good at cavalry, and there are few people who are good at fighting with cavalry." ”
Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, these two questions are indeed the top priority for him, Dong Zhuo has a lot of generals who are good at cavalry warfare, this time I will go to Luoyang, make good friends, and see if I can bring a few.
As for the talent, Chen Mo had a lot of acquaintances in the Tai Academy in the past, among them there were real abilities and pragmatic ones, even if he was full of favors, Chen Mo was ready to bring these people under his command when he went to Luoyang this time.
"I'll pay attention." Chen Mo nodded and got up and said: "This time is a bit urgent, the imperial court has already issued three edicts to pass on to me, and I hope that Boning will bother more about the county affairs." ”
"Make Jun" get up with a full favor, look at Chen Mo seriously and say: "The pet will let Zhong Yun go to Hebei to pick up, if you can't do anything, let Jun think about a way to get out early"
"Rare." Chen Mo wanted to laugh, but looking at Manzhong's serious appearance, he finally nodded and said, "Don't worry, Berning, I am more life-sparing, and I will not take risks easily." ”
"Congratulations to the envoy," said with a deep salute.
Chen Mo took Dian Wei, Yu Sheng, Bao Geng, Bai Bi, and Han Kai and rode straight to Leishou Mountain, Gao Shun had already ordered two thousand new troops for Chen Mo.
Although it is a new army, Gao Shun selected all the fighters who were good at fighting from the former Yellow Turban soldiers, and the momentum gave people a different feeling at a glance.
Chen Mo asked the five generals to lead a group of men and horses to accompany him, and Da Lang led people to follow Chen Mo all the way and sent Chen Mo to Puban.
"Let's go back." Chen Mo rode the horse to Da Lang, and also sighed with some emotion: "Count it up, since the middle of the Ping years to now, you and I are separated for the first time, lead the troops well, study the art of war, you said, you will kill for me in the future, and now it seems that there will be no less people to kill." ”
"My lord cherishes it." Da Lang took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Chen Mo: "Righteousness will live up to the trust of the lord, and on the day the lord returns, he will be the pioneer of the lord and level the world."
"Shen Yan" Chen Mo patted Da Lang's shoulder, and then hugged him fiercely and said, "While I'm not here, ask for a daughter-in-law and come back to officiate for your marriage." ”
"Whoa"
