Chapter 17: Surprise

Bo Dao, this is the day you always set with Cai Gong, can you see if it is appropriate? Three days have passed since Chen Mo set up a banquet, and in the early morning of this day, Chen Mo just woke up and was taken to his mother by Yun Si.

"Mother is in charge of these things." Chen Mo took the wet wipes handed by Juan'er and smiled while wiping his face.

"Marriage matters, you should ask more people, for the mother has discussed with your Uncle Wang, Uncle Zheng, and Sister Cai yesterday, and it was set to get married next month, but this official date has not yet been set, Mr. Ziyuan said that you also have a lot of research on Yi Jing, and you are to ask you with your mother." Chen's mother smiled.

"Why should everyone ask about this kind of thing?" Chen Mo was a little helpless, it's not that he looks down on Uncle Wang and them, it's just that they specialize in this art industry, Cai Weng and his own teacher are both knowledgeable people, what the two of them have decided, you go and ask Uncle Wang? Mother is usually very wise, how can she encounter this kind of thing and mess up her senses.

"This is my Chen family's big event, I have written to Xiapi, let Yuanlong also come over, don't let people underestimate it." Mother Chen shook her head and said with a cautious expression.

"Mother is in charge." Chen Mo can't say anything anymore, although he feels a little too laborious, but now he is also a descendant, and the Chen family should be here, but it is difficult to say whether it is Chen Deng or not, judging from the recent correspondence with Chen Deng, since Tao Qian took office, he has been quite dependent on the Chen family, and his uncle Chen Qi is old, and many things are taken care of by Chen Deng, and he may not be able to get rid of it.

The wedding date was set on the eighteenth of next month, Chen Mo calculated the birthday of himself and Cai Yan in his heart, after all, it was chosen by the teacher and Cai Gong, and it was the most suitable day to calculate it himself.

Although there is still a full month to go, but the wedding has already begun, send invitations, Chen Mo sent one to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, it is impossible for them to come, but this invitation must be delivered, in addition, Chen Mo sent a few more letters to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Lu Bu, Niu Fu, Guo Yan and even Li Dao, after all, although Chen Mo is accepted by the princes now, he did not tear his face with Dong Zhuo in name, otherwise Cai Yong would not have been able to come.

On the Chen Mansion's side, this time it is preparing to do a big job, and those who do this in Anyi will spontaneously come to help take care of it even if Chen Mo doesn't say it, but Chen Mo doesn't have to worry about these things, he has his own mother and Yun Si to take care of them.

Chen Mo has also been very busy these days, although the salt prison is open to the gentry of Hedong, but not everyone can join in, Chen Mo will develop the corresponding vouchers here, how much each family can get, it is determined by the government office, Chen Mo will let Li Qing be the captain of the salt supervisor, specifically responsible for this matter, and Chen Mo has another thing to do, this matter has been planned for a long time.

……

Looking at the people who received the salt introduction one by one and happily left from the Salt Supervision Bureau, Wei Qian shook his head, this person's heart, in the final analysis, is a sharp word, but Chen Mo can keenly grasp this point, and he also found a breakthrough, and quickly gathered the hearts of these gentry, which is really good, but what to do next? If it is only like this, it is only a temporary solution to the predicament of Hedong, although Chen Mo is young, his ambition is by no means just this county.

"The head of the house, the salt has been obtained." A member of the Wei clan ran to Wei Qi with a happy face and bowed.

Salt induction?

Wei Qi took the salt lead, his face was a little complicated, and the Wei family ...... I also want to eat, although I saw through Chen Mo's plan, but ...... No one is going to get along with profits.

"Let's go, with this, we should be able to make up for some losses this year." Wei Qi stood up and got into the carriage, carefully collected the salt, with this, and then went to buy some salt back, and sent it to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, at least five times the profit, if it was sent to the land of Hetao, directly exchange some horses to come back, this profit is even more considerable, ten times or even more is possible, but for the sake of safety, or transport it separately, those Huns are not very honest now, sell them separately, at least they will not lose.

The carriage slowly opened, and the young man sitting in the carriage wondered: "This matter is up to me, why did the head of the family come in person?" ”

"Take a look." Wei Qi smiled: "Do you know what the envoy has been doing recently?" ”

"I'm probably working on the wedding, the date has been set, and now the whole Anyi is busy with this matter every day."

"It's not that simple." Wei Qi shook his head: "Didn't you notice that the soldiers and horses have been moving frequently recently?" ”

"To fight?" The tribesman was surprised: "It's just that the front flip is to beg the thief, why is it this time?" ”

For example, although the princes are divided today, if they want to do it to others, they need at least a reason.

"A few days ago, the Taiyuan royal family and the imperial court sent people over, I heard that the white wave thieves are now making trouble in Taiyuan, and even too far away to defend Wang Zhao were killed in battle, I think I came here to ask for it." Wei Qi smiled and narrowed his eyes, he still remembered that Chen Mo had said before that he would share the Wang family's land with him, and now that the Wang family had asked Chen Mo for this, I don't know how to evaluate it, they seemed to be able to only ask Chen Mo at present, but Chen Mo obviously didn't have a good heart towards the Wang family.

"The wedding is less than a month away, so you won't do it at this time, right?" The clansman was surprised.

Once this battle starts, it is impossible to complete it in a short time, and now that Chen Mo's wedding is imminent, no matter how much he thinks, it is impossible to run to beg for thieves, at least after the wedding.

"This is not accurate, this young envoy uses strange soldiers, the more you think it is impossible, the more likely it is, otherwise, why haven't you seen him in the past few days?" Wei Qi shook his head, he had studied Chen Mo's use of soldiers, and he often fought psychological warfare, which made people unguardable.

……

Taiyuan County, Zhongdu County.

A short war has come to an end, Hu Cai stood in the government office with a gloomy face, watching his soldiers being quickly controlled by Chen Mo's people with a gloomy face.

Originally, he had already gotten the exact news, Chen Mo was going to get married on the eighteenth day next month, which made the white wave thieves who had gone too far relieved and began to sort out the territory they occupied, and now the entire Taiyuan, including Jinyang, the three of them occupied nine counties, Yang Feng fought the fastest, Jinyang, Yuci, Yangyi three counties were obtained by him, and Li Le won Qi County, Pingtao, Jingling three counties, and because he was the worst by Chen Mo, he had the least troops in his hands, and only occupied Zhongdu, Jiexiu, and Wu County, which was also the closest to Hedong.

During this time, Hu Cai has been worried, afraid that Chen Mo will call, and now the three families have torn their faces because of what happened in Yang County last time, and now if they are attacked, the other two may not be able to help.

After learning the news that Chen Mo's wedding was imminent, Hu Cai also breathed a sigh of relief, and even recently many merchants came to buy some congratulatory gifts, many of them were his former friends, and the news was also learned from these people, who would have thought that these people who wanted Chen Mo to die in the past would now help Chen Mo secretly bring soldiers and horses in the name of domestic servants, although each of them did not bring much, there were three or five thousand people in total, the middle capital city was broken like this, the four gates were occupied, and there was not even a person who went out to report the news.

And Hu Cai here, it was the first time that Da Lang attacked with men and horses, the government office was lost, the city was chaotic, those soldiers who had just been recruited would fight to the death, most of them had already surrendered, and the people who followed him saw that the government office was broken, and it was only a symbolic resistance, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

"Thank you." Chen Mo came out in line under the escort of Dian Wei and Wang Biao, and smiled at several heads of various clans who came to help.

"The king is too polite, the white wave thief poisoned the township, I have already had the heart to get rid of it, but I can't help the thief, and now I can help you break the thief, but also to eliminate the harm for the people, so that you don't want to say thank you!" Several family heads smiled.

Hu Cai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Mo, you are also a hero, why are you so immoral!?" If you have the ability, can you dare to fight me to the death? ”

"You're all prisoners!" Dian Wei patted Hu Cai's face with a blood-stained iron halberd and said, "Besides, you are a thief, where did you have the face to make such a ridiculous request to my lord?" You go and ask your soldiers, which one is willing to follow you? ”

Hu Cai's face darkened, he ignored this reckless man, and turned his head to look at those people: "In the past, I also had a friendship with you, so it's better to ......"

"Shut up!" The faces of several people changed one after another, and they shouted: "We are all members of the Hedong Wang clan, what kind of identity, how can we have a relationship with such a thief?" ”

Immediately, one person bowed to Chen Mo and said, "Envoy, this person's nonsense is a plan to divide the world, don't believe it." ”

"Rest assured." Chen Mo nodded and said, "I still need to bother you to help me appease the people, but now there is a shortage of people in the city, and I need to bother you." ”

"It's okay, I'm willing to help you." Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands, agreed repeatedly, and then left.

After everyone left, Chen Mo entered the government office, looked at Hu Cai, who was tied up with five flowers, and said with a smile: "You were also the head of the clan in the past, and you will be like them if you change places." ”

Hu Cai was silent when he heard this, a little depressed.

"I'm getting married next month, so the time is in a hurry, if you are willing to help me persuade Jiexiu and Wu County to surrender, and help me break Li Le, I can not only spare your life, but also let you come back to be the county lieutenant." Chen Mo looked at Hu Cai and said with a smile: "Although there is no such scenery as it is now, at least the family can continue, if there is a meritorious service in the future, it can be promoted, what does General Hu think?" ”

Hu Cai originally thought that he would die, so he was silent, but now that Chen Mo said this, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Chen Mo and said: "Wu County and Jiexiu are all my henchmen, and it is not difficult for them to come down, but Li Le ...... To tell you the truth, since the last time we were defeated by the envoy, the three of us have already torn our faces, and now they have divided Taiyuan separately, and they have long since lost their contacts, I'm afraid it's ......"

"It's okay, as long as the general is willing, and the rest can just be done by me." Chen Mo waved his hand and smiled.

"Hu Cai is willing to be loyal to the lord." Hu Cai hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Untie!" Chen Mo smiled slightly and motioned to Dian Weidao.

"Whoa!"
