The Nameless of the Common Clans

In Yecheng, the palace door opened and then closed quickly.

"Chen Mo, what does this mean?" Gao Gan looked at the envoy who almost crawled back and asked with a frown.

"General, Chen Mofei said that we were planning to surrender, and ignored him at all. In the end, he even ordered someone to beat him up with a stick. It's really hateful!" The envoy bared his teeth, and the military sticks on Chen Mo's side were real. He is considered a famous person in Jizhou. How has he ever been insulted like this?

"Go down now." Gao Gan waved his hand and signaled the envoy to leave, then looked at Shen Pei: "Mr. Zhengnan, has Chen Mo seen through our plan?"

"He just doesn't want me to surrender at this time." Shen Pei said weakly. Chen Mo's behavior was a bit rogue, but they were helpless. After all, this false surrender had happened before.

Now what if the Jizhou Army feigns surrender? As long as the palace gate is opened, the remaining soldiers and horses in hand cannot stop the tiger and wolf troops under Chen Mo. At this time, will Chen Mo be afraid of false surrender? This is obviously just an excuse.

But what if you understand it?

"Everyone says that Chen Mo is a benevolent and righteous king. Why can't he tolerate me alone, a gentry in Yecheng?" Gao Gan said bitterly. He understood what the judge said. Chen Mo clearly wanted to slaughter all the gentry in the inner city.

Benevolence and righteousness?

Shen Pei glanced at the senior officials and shook his head. In the competition for power, one can only weigh the pros and cons. When has there been true benevolence and righteousness? Chen Mo not only wants Jizhou, but also wants to continue to implement his New Deal in Guanzhong after obtaining Jizhou. Chen Mo's New Deal is almost the same as a reform.

Looking at ancient and modern times, which reform was not accompanied by dripping blood and white bones? War is a disaster, but for people like Chen Mo, it is also an opportunity. He is using this chaos to prepare to completely shake many fundamental things since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and the gentry in the world are the defenders of the old order. , Chen Mo cared for the people but not the scholars. From this battle of Yecheng, the judge can probably see what will happen after Chen Mo wins Jizhou.

Yecheng may be just the beginning. In this attack, the bones of many people will be buried here.

Even though the judge was gritting his teeth with hatred, he still had to admire Chen Mo's ruthlessness and decisiveness.

"What should we do now?" The senior officials were already a little confused. If Chen Mo directly led his troops to attack, they would be stronger than they are now. It would feel like they were waiting to die.

"We will see the outcome tomorrow." Shen Pei sighed. It was impossible to stop him. Chen Mo was obviously determined to bloodbath this Jizhou gentry. How could the thousands of people remaining in the palace stop him?

"tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow the gentry in the inner city will be almost killed, and the rest..." Shen Pei turned around and looked at the senior officials: "I'm afraid the rest won't have the guts to stop Chen Mo anymore. "

The senior officer looked at Shen Pei a little absent-mindedly: "Then what should we do?"

Shen Pei didn't speak, just walked slowly outside.

What can be done? By this time, life and death were no longer up to them.

…

In the inner city, the General's Mansion of the Yuan family has been breached and serves as Chen Mo's temporary residence in Yecheng.

"My lord, all the servants and servants in the mansion have been eliminated, but the female family members of the Yuan family will not dare to make decisions without authorization." Zhang Yan accompanied Chen Mo and bowed.

"Female family members?" Chen Mo nodded and followed Zhang Yan to the back hall, where he saw several bound women huddled together and trembling.

"This is my lord, Marquis Changling. Why don't you show me some courtesy?" Zhang Yan stared at the group of women and shouted.

"I have met Marquis Changling." Among the female relatives, a rather charming woman stood up, tied her hands, and said with a submissive look on her face.

The woman is in her forties, but her figure and appearance are well maintained.

"My lord, this is Yuan Shao's wife and the biological mother of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite." Chen Mo drew his sword, cut off the ropes in his hands, and said with a smile: "When we were in Luoyang, Benchu ​​Gong and I took good care of each other. Although we are facing each other now, this is a battle of fate. , It doesn’t involve personal relationships, but privately speaking, I have great admiration for Benchu ​​Gong.”

"I have heard of Marquis Changling's reputation for benevolence and righteousness in Jizhou. I have repeatedly advised my son not to be an enemy of Marquis Changling. It's a pity that I, as a woman, cannot interfere in such a major military and state matter. There was a misunderstanding today." Mrs. Liu nodded frequently, with the flattering smile on her face, which really didn't look like what a noble lady should have.

Chen Mo nodded, looked at the other female family members and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality. When the war is over, I will reunite my wife with Yuan Shang's mother and son."

"Thank you so much, Marquis Changling. I will definitely persuade my son to submit to Marquis Changling." Mrs. Liu quickly bowed down.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be like this." Chen Mo smiled and was about to leave when he suddenly frowned, turned to look at one of the female relatives, pointed at the female family member and said, "Who is this woman?"

It's not that he was attracted to her. After all, except for the Liu family, most of the other female family members now covered their faces with messy hair. However, Chen Mo just subconsciously scanned and found that this woman's destiny was extremely high, which made Chen Mo a little curious.

A woman's destiny generally depends on a man. The more noble a man is, the more likely his woman's destiny will be. Around Chen Mo, except for Cai Yan and Diao Chan, who have extremely high destiny, both Yun Si and Juan'er are there. After becoming Chen Mo's concubine, her destiny began to rise.

"This is Xianyi's wife. The marriage was arranged by my late husband. This woman has a bad fate. Just after she entered the family, Xianyi was sent to guard Youzhou. Youzhou is bitterly cold, so I will keep her by my side. After Xianyi comes back, we will have the husband-wife ceremony." Liu quickly held the woman's face and said, "Marquis Changling, please take a look. This woman has been seen by a fortune teller since she was young. He said that her fate is extremely noble, and it is too noble to describe. Xianyi has a bad fate, so why not keep her by the side of Marquis Changling to serve?"

"Mother?" The woman looked at her mother-in-law in astonishment. Is this something a mother-in-law can say?

"She is really good-looking." Chen Mo looked at the woman's face and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

The woman bowed her head and did not answer. Liu said quickly: "This girl is the youngest daughter of Zhongshan Zhen, named Zhen Mi."

Then he patted Zhen Mi and said: "You and Xianyi have not had sex yet, so it can't be considered married. Changling Hou is a hero in the world. Being able to serve him is a good thing that ordinary women can't even ask for! Why don't you thank Changling Hou!"

"Slow down~" Not to mention Zhen Mi, Liu's words, even Chen Mo and the surrounding generals were stunned. What the hell did Yuan Shao marry?

"I don't mean that. You just have a good rest. I will send you back after the war." Chen Mo waved his hand and left with Dian Wei.

Zhang Yan was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu: "What's the name of this general?"

"Has Zhang Yan heard of the Black Mountain Army?" Zhang Yan glanced at Liu coldly, not wanting to pay attention to this woman.

"Black Mountain bandits..." Liu blurted out subconsciously, and as soon as she said it, she felt something was wrong, and quickly changed her words: "So it's the righteous men on the Black Mountain. I wonder how Changling Hou plans to arrange for my daughter-in-law?"

"Didn't the lord just say that?" Zhang Yan frowned and said: "You all just have a good rest. After the war, you will naturally be allowed to reunite with your family."

"General, you don't know that although my daughter-in-law married into my Yuan family, because Yuan Xi left in a hurry, she didn't consummate the marriage, so she is still a perfect virgin at this moment. Please send her to Changling Hou's room on my behalf." Liu said hurriedly.

"Woman, didn't you understand what the lord just said?" Zhang Yan was a little impatient.

"The general is also a man. There were so many people around just now. With the reputation of Changling Hou, even if he likes her, he will never admit it. All men in the world are like this. In ancient times, emperors would refuse to accept the abdication. The general only needs to send this woman away, and I will feel at ease." Liu smiled and quietly put a night-shining pearl into Zhang Yan's hand.

"Mother, how can you do this? Changling Hou is not an ordinary person, how can he do this?" Zhen Mi said bitterly.

"Listen to me, you can protect the whole family of my Yuan family by yourself, and you and Xianyi have not slept together, how can it count?" Liu looked at Zhen Mi with a serious face.

Zhang Yan looked at the night-shining pearl in his hand, then looked at Liu, and then looked at Zhen Mi. She really has a stunning face. If she really follows Yuan Xi, Zhang Yan will feel sorry for her. Maybe it is true as this woman said, the lord is indeed moved, but it is inconvenient to say more?

"Well, come with me." Zhang Yan put away the night pearl and looked at Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi felt miserable. No matter what she said, she had the title of daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. After Yuan Xi left, she served Liu in Yecheng. Now she was sent out like a commodity. How could anyone accept it?

"Go quickly, don't let Changling Hou wait for a long time." Liu pushed her.

"Please hurry up, Madam. I still have military affairs to deal with. It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time!" Zhang Yan frowned, but didn't help, just urged.

Zhen Mi sighed, bowed silently, and left behind Zhang Yan.

Looking at the backs of the group leaving, Liu breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and smiled: "In this way, we don't have to worry for the time being."

If it weren't for the huge age difference between him and Chen Mo, Chen Mo might not look down on him. Facing such a young hero, Liu couldn't help but want to recommend herself.

"Gao Lan is here?" Chen Mo naturally didn't know that such a big drama would happen after he left. After leaving the back hall, he went straight to the meeting room of the general's mansion, where Xun You was already waiting for him. After hearing that Gao Lan had arrived outside Yecheng and had fought a battle with Cui Geng and others, Chen Mo was also a little surprised. Gao Lan's speed was not slow. If he was two days later, he would probably be attacked from all sides.

"Yes, with Gao Lan's arrival, Yuan Shang's army and Cao Cao are probably not far away. The lord needs to resolve the war in the city as soon as possible to avoid being implicated." Xun You bowed.

"Order Cui Geng, Bao Geng, and Shi Geng to build more sentries on the important roads outside the city, and send more scouts to inquire about the enemy's movements." Chen Mo nodded. If the two families joined forces, it would be difficult to resolve.

"Yes~"
