The Nameless of the Common Clans

The 8,000 Xiyuan New Army was divided into eight battalions. At first, the elites recruited from various states became the upper army, which was also the largest battalion and was led by Qian Shuo.

The remaining fifteen departments are managed by seven other people.

When Chen Mo learned that Cao Cao was actually the captain of the Dian Army, he was a little surprised. No wonder Cao Cao's luck was not much different from that of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other famous disciples last time.

Accident? have.

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

However, Chen Mo previously speculated that this new army should be an important chess piece for the emperor to restrict the military power of General He Jin. Now that Cao Cao has entered it, who is it?

Emperor? Where to go? Or 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 end is here!" Chen Mo took a step forward and said loudly.

"From now on, your troops will be under the command of Lieutenant Bao Hong." Qian Shuo handed a token to Chen Modao.

"General, take your orders!" Chen Mosurong took the token and bowed to Qian Shuo.

"It's a good time to train troops. The imperial court will have time to use you." Qian Shuo nodded and looked at Chen Mo with an encouraging look. The smile on his face made Chen Mo feel a little chilly. The commander-in-chief of the Xiyuan Army is better off not smiling. There is still some majesty, but this smile has a somewhat neither yin nor yang feeling, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Qian Shuo is the captain of the military academy, and all the eight schools in Xiyuan are nominally under his jurisdiction. Of course, in fact, Qian Shuo is only the spokesperson of the emperor. They, the generals selected by Xiyuan, have been loyal to the emperor from the beginning. Yes, Chen Mo naturally understood the meaning of Qian Shuo's words and nodded calmly: "General, don't worry, I will live up to your majesty's trust."

Qian Shuo looked down on Chen Mo at first. Just like Chen Mo's soldiers, even the new soldiers were dissatisfied with this young military prince, let alone Qian Shuo.

Judging from the final result, what Gao Shun said was indeed correct. Chen Mo was the last one to lead his own troops, but he was the first to be obedient and obedient in ordering his troops. At least in running the army. Above, Chen Mo is just like Gao Shun said before, he is the most powerful among this group of generals.

But now that the matter has come to this, Qian Shuo cannot take back the order, but his attitude towards Chen Mo has changed slightly. He used to be a gangster who sneaked in, but now, he is a talented person who can support and help him. Now Qian Shuo has Chen Mo attaches great importance to him and even intends to transfer Chen Mo to his direct subordinate.

Bao Hong? Qiantun Cavalry School Lieutenant?

Information about Bao Hong flashed through Chen Mo's mind. He had inquired about these people before after learning about the quota for the Eighth School. Bao Hong should belong to He Jin, and his background is not very deep, which means he is likely to become an outcast. existence.

Although I regret not being able to work with Cao Cao, if it were Bao Hong, would it be possible for me to replace him in the future?

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

Instead of meeting the general, the Xiyuan Army was going to participate in the military parade this time. After meeting the Emperor, they would be divided into each battalion according to their respective establishments.

After the distribution of troops and horses, under the leadership of Qian Shuo, the eight thousand new Xiyuan troops formed a neat queue and headed towards Pingguang. Two high platforms had been built in Pinggan, one high and one low. The higher one was the emperor Liu. The grand military parade is located, and the one slightly lower is where the general He Jin is staying.

The three armies formed an array, and the first batch to enter were Qian Shuo's five troops. However, he was optimistic when he saw the situation. Flags were blue in the sky, and swords and guns were standing everywhere. Liu Hong stood under the canopy, looked down at the neat array, smiled and stroked his beard and said: "Qian Shuo did a good job this time."

"Your Majesty has the ability to recognize people." Zhang Rang, who was standing beside Liu Hong, smiled and said. Qian Shuo took control of the military, which meant that Shi Changshi took control of the military. In this way, there would be less in the game with He Jin. Very scrupulous.

Don't look at He Jin's large number of troops, but he is still a Han official. He cannot directly lead his troops to confront the emperor. In that case, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the three armies will not obey him. Military power is a bargaining chip in his hand. No matter how fierce the eunuchs, the generals, and the scholar group are, they can't really use troops. But if one party doesn't, it will be a different situation.

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

Sitting on the small altar in the northeast, He Jin looked at these new troops and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. What does your Majesty mean by this? Don’t worry about yourself?

"General, don't be angry." He Yong, 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 the military power to the eunuch. Although the eunuch obtained the military power, As far as Yong knows, this army has only been established for a few months and its combat power is not strong. It will not be 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. If others hear it, it will be evidence to criticize himself.

"Here!" He Yong said nothing more and stood beside He Jin, looking at the scene with a smile.

The Xiyuan New Army marched back and forth three times in Pingguangwang. Liu Hong, wearing armor, came to the front of the army to encourage the soldiers, and proclaimed himself the supreme general. He ordered the New Army soldiers to garrison troops in Pingganguang and then left.

As soon as the emperor left, He Jin and others naturally did not want to stay any longer. They stood up and left the table one after another. Pingguan, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became a lot colder. The military lieutenants began to command the officers and men of their headquarters to prepare for stationing in Pingguan.

"Mengde?" Bao Hong was arranging for the soldiers to set up camp. He was a little confused when he saw that Cao Cao came to him despite not caring about his own troops. He bowed slightly and said, "Why are you here?"

"When we were doing military exercises just now, I saw an old friend here and came here to visit." Cao Cao and Bao Hong didn't have much pretentiousness, so they just exchanged a few words and went straight to the point.

"Old friend?" Bao Hong looked back at the two soldiers under his command.

"Chen Mo, do you have any impression of Zizhen?" Cao Cao smiled.

"I have an army under my command." Bao Hong suddenly reacted when he heard this, looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Could it be the boy who was rated as the most capable official in the Qing Dynasty? Before, I only thought you had the same name, but I didn't think he was actually this person! But I don’t know how I got into the new army.”

"Now he is no longer a boy." Cao Cao shook his head. This matter may have something to do with Lu Zhi. Chen Mo's trip happened just after he went to Lu Zhi's mansion. Even Yuan Shao, the general of Xiyuan, knew about it afterwards. This little brother had no way to get in. If it weren't for Lu Zhi, Cao Cao couldn't think of the second person. Just when he saw Chen Mo coming, he nodded to Bao Hong and said, "I have something to do with him. Let's chat later."

"That's fine." Bao Hong glanced at Chen Mo in surprise, nodded, and then turned and left.

"Brother, you've been hiding this from me for a long time." Cao Cao punched Chen Mo in the chest, shook his head and smiled.

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

"It is not uncommon to become a military prince at the age of fourteen. Looking at the Han Dynasty for more than three hundred years, it is not common!" Cao Cao brought Chen Mo to the side and smiled: "I just saw your military formation, but it is no worse than the elite. I don't want my virtuous brother to train in the army." All of them have such attainments.”

"I was taught by a senior. If not, how can I compare with others?" Chen Mo heard this and shook his head. This time Xiyuan selected generals, he gained a lot. He learned how to train soldiers with Gao Shun, and exercised his body. He has also become stronger. In terms of physical strength, he is not much different from the military princes and army commanders in the military camp. This is also the reason why he can quickly suppress the recruits under his command. There is one sentence that Gao Shun said is right. , the most admired in the army is the strong.

"To be able to admire my dear brother so much, I will definitely pay him a visit someday." Cao Cao only thought that Chen Mo was being polite. His little brother was an all-rounder.

"Brother, I have something to ask." Chen Mo glanced in Bao Hong's direction and asked, "Are you familiar with Bao Hong?"

"We just nodded. This man has great ambitions but little talent, and he likes to exploit the enemy." Cao Cao glanced at Bao Hong and shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, Chen Mo still caught the contempt at that moment.

"Why did my dear brother ask about this person?" Cao Cao asked in confusion.

"After all, under General Bao, it's always good to know something. If the elder brother is familiar with Bao Hong, the younger brother can have an easier time." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You don't look like this kind of person." Cao Cao shook his head and smiled. He didn't believe a word of Chen Mo's words. Although his little brother was not old, he knew it after being together for so long. He looked easy-going and said, I can get along with anyone, but I But you have your own arrogance, you can get along, but if you want to really get along, you don't have much ability. I'm afraid you won't look down on your little brother, let alone fawn over. You will bow your head, but you won't fawn over. Although the brothers are not very young, they are quite proficient in the way of life.

Seeing that Chen Mo was silent, Cao Cao would not ask any more questions. He believed that Chen Mo had a sense of discretion.

"After today's work, follow me out of the camp. We will have a banquet at Chun Nuan Pavilion this spring." Cao Cao said with a smile.

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

"Ordinary sergeants are like this, but you are now a military prince. When the time comes, tell Bao Hong that I have invited you, and Bao Hong will never stop you." Cao Cao smiled and said, "You haven't interacted with anyone for more than a month. , I know that my good brother is capable, but in Luoyang, no matter how great his ability is, he will not be able to go far if there is no one to support him. "

Chen Mo agrees with this point. What is Gao Shun's ability? Chen Mo knew very well, but such a person could only be responsible for training troops in Xiyuan. He was even imprisoned after a slight conflict with Qian Shuo, and had no one care about him for such a long time. It was a bit sad, but the reality is that, one person is powerful, Not just yourself, but also those connections. Of course, if you are not strong enough, no matter how many connections you have, it will be useless.
