The Nameless of the Common Clans

Sun Quan's surrender was completely settled. Sun Quan personally brought Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other important officials from Jiangdong to visit Chen Mo on his ship, handed over his seal, and stayed on Chen Mo's ship for three days to assist Chen Mo in handling the surrender of various armies. The navy around Chaisang, including the two naval divisions of Han Dang and Cheng Pu who were still surrounded, were recruited by Chen Mo and stationed in Xiakou. The army of Jingzhou was stationed in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan had sent people to notify He Qi and Cao Ang to announce their surrender to the court. Jianye naturally did not need to be defended. He Qi would escort Liu Ji to Luoyang. In any case, Liu Ji was also a royal family member, and Chen Mo could not kill him.

In fact, Zhou Yu was the most suitable person to go to Jianye to pass the order, but Zhou Yu was unwilling to go, so Lu Su had to make the trip in the end.

Next, the appointment of the governors of each county and the fate of the civil and military officials of Jiangdong, those who are willing to continue to serve the court, Chen Mo will naturally welcome them, if not, the court will issue some money and grain to allow them to retire and return home.

In addition, the governors and county magistrates of Jiangdong counties will not be moved lightly, but the county magistrates of each county need to be re-evaluated in the court, and only those who are qualified will be re-assigned. As for whether they can return to Jiangdong, that is not certain. Chen Mo did not change the important positions of governors and other officials in Jiangdong, but replaced the county magistrates with students who have achieved success in the Imperial Academy. The world is settled, so the laws that used to belong to the Central Plains are naturally applicable in Jiangdong.

In addition, Chen Mo exchanged some experiences in governing the country with Sun Quan, learned about the customs and practices of Jiangdong, and also discussed the matter of Sun's younger sister marrying into the palace.

Although she was a concubine, Sun Quan knew very well that with the power that Chen Mo held now, the change of dynasties would only happen in the next few years. Once Chen Mo ascended to the throne, she would at least be an imperial concubine. Moreover, given the current situation of the Sun family, if they wanted to live a better life in the future, marrying into Chen Mo would also be a good thing for the Sun family.

As for the revenge of his father and brother, Sun Quan had never thought of taking revenge. He couldn't take revenge, or he would have to take the entire Sun family to be buried with him. Now this result is quite good, but Sun Quan saw that the foundation laid by his two generations was swallowed up by Chen Mo in just a few days, and it had nothing to do with him anymore. It was inevitable that he felt a little bitter in his heart.

The former ministers, now seeing Sun Quan again, no longer had the courtesy of the past, and even the remaining respect might be because the younger sister of the Sun family was about to marry into the palace. This gap was quite uncomfortable, but Sun Quan could only bear it.

Chen Mo has never left his ship. There are still many people in Jiangdong who are repulsive or even murderous towards him. This is the most chaotic time when power is changing. Chen Mo is now in charge of the world and cannot ignore his own safety.

As for the marriage with Sun Shangxiang, it is also intended to win the hearts of Jiangdong people by making a big fuss here. However, since it is going to be a big event, it is inevitable to choose an auspicious day and time, and three matchmakers and six betrothals are indispensable. Chen Mo also showed great respect to Sun and Jiangdong, and invited several world-renowned Confucian scholars to come, and the three officials in the court were also invited, which is enough to show that Chen Mo attaches great importance to this marriage.

"Very unconvinced?" A few days later, on the giant ship, looking at the dusty Cao Ang, Chen Mo smiled.

"I dare not." Cao Ang shook his head.

"I dare not, that is, I am really unconvinced." Chen Mo looked at him and said, "If it was me who lost instead of Brother Meng De, what would you do?"

"Ang would ask my father for mercy for my mentor." Cao Ang said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"Do you think I don't want him to live?" Chen Mo sighed, holding the railing, looking at the scenery of Panyang Lake, and said sadly: "If I fall into the same situation as Brother Meng De, I will probably make the same choice."

"What about my family? What about my wife and children?" Cao Ang suddenly looked at Chen Mo and gritted his teeth.

"I believe that if I die in battle, Brother Meng De will treat my wife and children well, just like now. I have not touched the Cao family. If you are willing to become an official, you can come to me at any time." Chen Mo patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said.

"Please forgive me for not obeying your order!" Cao Ang shook his head.

"Then go back to Chenliu. Brother Meng De was buried in my ancestral land by me and there are special people to take care of him. It has been so many years, and it is time to go back and see him." Chen Mo was not surprised. Chen Mo knew the character of the disciples he taught very well.

"Thank you." Cao Ang nodded silently. He could not accept such a failure, but he could do nothing about it. Jiangdong belonged to the Sun family after all. He wanted to resist to the end, but those soldiers were still soldiers of the Sun family. So, when Lu Su arrived at Jianye with Sun Quan's edict, although Cao Ang wanted to fight to the death, most of his soldiers chose to surrender as soon as Sun Quan's edict arrived. How could the remaining troops resist the Ming army?

Even Jianye surrendered, what else could he do? He could only return with the army.

"If there is nothing else, please forgive me for being rude, and I will leave first!" Cao Ang saluted Chen Mo.

"Go ahead." Chen Mo sighed, thought for a moment and said, "If others want to serve as officials, they can come to Luoyang at any time."

Cao Ang nodded and left silently. Chen Mo did not make things difficult for the Cao family. Cao Ang was going to take his clansmen back to Chenliu to live. After so many years, he also wanted to pay tribute to his father. As for whether others were willing to serve as officials, that was their business. Cao Ang was very tired now, the kind of tiredness that made him powerless, and he didn't want to care about these things.

"Your Majesty." Dian Wei saw Cao Ang leave, came behind Chen Mo, frowned and said, "This Cao family kid is really ungrateful."

"Let him go." Chen Mo shook his head. No matter how powerful his eloquence was, it would have no effect when meeting a person with such firm beliefs. Now that the world has been decided, Chen Mo wants to wipe out the past grudges. No matter who it is, it's just that now It seems that he is overthinking. Cao Ang's character is still the same as before. He is too arrogant. This is not a good thing, especially after the world is at peace. The next thing to do is to rule the world. With a character like Cao Ang's, he is destined to enter an official career. You will still suffer.

It would be good to be a rich man in Chenliu.

As time passed, Jiangdong gradually calmed down, and the date for Chen Mo and the Sun family's younger sister to get married was also set.

Almost all famous scholars from Jiangdong came to congratulate them. It was extremely joyful. Sun Shangxiang also got what he wanted. He lived with Chen Mo in Jianye for more than a month without shame or impatience. It was not until July that he followed Chen Mo and a large number of Jiangdong civil and military teachers back. North Korea, return to Luoyang.

Starting from the autumn of the 18th year of the Han Dynasty when Chen Mo decided to send troops south to conquer Jingxiang, Chen Mo defeated Jingzhou and conquered Shu with Wuyi, and then the Donghai Navy invaded Jiangdong. Finally, Jiangdong completely surrendered. All these events were added up until Chen Mo's troops returned to the court. , it was only ten months, but in these ten months, Chen Mo took this opportunity to completely pacify the world.

Although Liu Bei is still running around in the Nanzhong area, it is no longer a threat to the world. The world has been reunited, but it is unknown whether it represents the resurgence of the Han Dynasty...
