After coming out of Bao Hong's place, Chen Mo was in a daze.

Six million, for him, before, 60,000 would have stumped him, let alone six million. This number was so big that he didn't even have much idea about it, and it was beyond his imagination.

"Junhou, what happened?" Bao Geng, Dalang and others came up to greet him and looked at Chen Mo in confusion.

"Nothing." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Everyone, let's go and rest. Starting tomorrow, there are still many battles to be fought."

It would be nice if making money was as easy as fighting a war, at least you knew how to do it.

After finding his room, Chen Mo lay on the bed and silently watched the training content in the dream training camp given to him by the system gods. There were ways for people to become stronger quickly, but there was no way for people to make money quickly.

If you really need money to become a cavalry captain or a school captain, how should you get the money?

Give up? That's impossible. The opportunity is right in front of him. No matter how difficult it is, he won't shy away. But there seem to be some things in this world that he can't solve even if he tries his best. For example... it's not illegal.

Under the premise, a method to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

There are no gods here, so I have to figure it out on my own.

After silently worshiping the gods of the system, Chen Mo lay on the bed, suffering from insomnia for the first time in his life. When his mentor Zang Hong hated the idea of ​​selling his official position, he even resigned and returned home. Now when Chen Mo faced this problem, he also

The same thought came up.

This world is hopeless!

But really giving up? Chen Mo was a little unwilling. Over the years, he had tried his best to strengthen himself and learn all the knowledge he could, just to retreat when necessary?

His mentor had his own ideas, but Chen Mo didn't want to follow his mentor's path. He wanted power, fame, and revitalized his family. If he wanted these, he couldn't leave like Zang Hong. He really lost his official status.

, what will he do to support the family? Will his mother follow him to live a hard life again? And Yun Si, Juan'er.

Or go back to the teacher's place and eat and drink while licking your face?

Although he is indeed thick-skinned, he still can't do this kind of thing.

In the next few days, Bao Hong followed Chen Mo's plan and contacted Runan and the prefect of Qiaojun. He asked the prefect of Qiaojun to send troops to restrain the Gebei thieves in Panhuan's Qiaojun so that they could not easily evacuate. Then he gathered troops and horses quickly

Take the nearest Song County.

Then, in the next month, they continued to harass the Gepi thieves' grain roads, causing them to focus on the grain roads. Zhong Yun led his army to easily capture Chengfu, and Bao Hong personally led his troops to capture Shansang.

.

At this point, Chen Mo's plan was half completed, and the fifth year of Zhongping passed quietly. The time came to the sixth year of Zhongping. In this year, Chen Mo was fifteen years old. During this period, he cooperated with Runan County to regain more than a dozen cities one after another.

The Gebei thieves had already discovered the city at this time and wanted to rescue it, but there were already a large number of soldiers from Runan County stationed in Chengfu and Song County, and it was difficult to capture it in a hurry. They had to abandon Qiao County and detour to Shansang in order to evacuate to Shouchun.

Chen Mo had predicted that the Gebei thieves would take this route beforehand. He and Bao Hong gathered troops here in advance and laid a heavy ambush. At the end of January, they defeated the main force of the Gebei thieves in one battle and successfully shot among the rebels.

Huang Shao, the leader of the Gebei bandits, was killed. Another bandit leader, Liu Pi, took advantage of the chaos to escape and was missing. A large number of Gebei bandits were captured.

At this point, the battle against the Gebei bandits came to an end, and the counties began to regain their lost territory. In less than half a month, the Gebei bandits completely disappeared. Although there were still remnants, they could no longer pose a threat.

In early February, the imperial court issued an edict to reward the three armies, and ordered the military academy captains to return to Luoyang as soon as possible to receive the reward.

…

"Chen Mo?" Luoyang, Beigong, Liu Hong looked at the name and smiled: "This boy seems to have been mentioned a lot in the past six months."

"Your Majesty, this boy was selected during the selection of generals." Jian Shuo quickly approached and said with a smile, "He is the most outstanding one among the generals selected by Xiyuan this time."

"Then why is it just a military prince?" Liu Hong frowned. Since he is a talented person and was selected by Xiyuan, he is considered his direct descendant. After all, he should be a military commander. It will be easier to take over the position of the Eighth School of Xiyuan in the future.

.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something!" Jian Shuo was obviously prepared. After hearing the words, he quickly bowed and said: "Although this boy has outstanding talents, he is too young. He was only fourteen at the time and lacked strength. How could he compete with others? If it weren't for my servant's pity,

Talented and biased, I'm afraid it will be difficult for such a young hero to be selected."

"He knows some flexibility. In other words, this boy is only fifteen years old now?" Liu Hong said in surprise.

"Exactly." Jian Shuo nodded.

"Although I have said many prodigies over the years, it has been a long time since I have seen such a talented young man with both civil and military skills. It's just that this promotion..." Liu Hong was a little confused. He wanted to bring his own people up. The original Xiyuan

The Eighth School kicked out the new army, but Yuan Shao was quite effective in suppressing bandits in Jizhou. Even the emperor could not arbitrarily replace meritorious ministers without reason. I thought I could kick Bao Hong away, but who knew that Bao Hong had mediocre performance in the past?

The general gave Liu Hong an unexpected surprise this time.

The imperial court's victory was naturally a good thing, but it also meant that Bao Hong could no longer move. His desire to obtain full military power in Xiyuan was still not progressing.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Chen Mo's achievements are far from this." Qian Shuo bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you should know that among the new army, the military princes and army commanders were all chosen by slaves. According to these people, Chen Mo first arrived.

Runan broke the siege of Nanton and found out that the Gebei thieves were too powerful to underestimate the enemy. However, as soon as Bao Hong left, he prepared to seek a decisive battle. Chen Mo dissuaded him on the spot, but failed to make Bao Hong change his original intention.

Chen Mo took the initiative to apologize to Bao Hong, and Bao Hong just used Chen Mo's plan, but it turned out to be a strategy that he and Chen Mo came up with together."

"I don't have much ability, but my official power is not small! Is such a small-minded person worthy of being a general?" Liu Hong didn't like Bao Hong, who was recommended by the general. Now that he heard this, he felt even more dissatisfied.

"More than that, according to the information obtained by this slave, every time Bao Hong makes a decision, he avoids everyone and discusses it with Chen Mo in advance." Jian Shuo said with a smile.

"Is this son not dissatisfied at all?" Liu Hong frowned.

"It is said that it was Chen Mo who voluntarily gave up the credit that made Bao Hong willing to listen to his plan." Jian Shuo sighed.

"Ha~" Liu Hong sneered when he heard this: "He is really a good minister of mine. He has no ability to fight, but he has many ways to steal credit."

"Who says it isn't?" Jian Shuo nodded and followed Liu Hong in contempt.

"Chen Mo, on the other hand, is young, but he is quite magnanimous and can take the overall situation into consideration. Yes, what is his life experience?" Liu Hong asked.

"Speaking of which, he is also a nobleman, a descendant of the Chen family in Huaipu, but he is just a side branch, and his family is in decline. Later, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he became a disciple of Zang Hong. He was recommended as a young boy last year and went to Taixue.

He was also praised by Xu Zijiang as a capable official in peace and a hero in troubled times." Jian Shuo said with a smile.

"He does have some ability, and he is the person you chose. But even so, even if Bao Hong gets the credit this time, he won't be moved." Liu Hong frowned.

No matter what others say, Bao Hong's contribution to winning this battle as the commander-in-chief cannot be erased.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has heard that Bao Hong has a greedy character and has engaged in corruption before. However, there is no evidence, and there is not much, and he actively donated money to atone for his sins. Therefore, he did not pursue the case at the beginning, and this big incident

"Sheng, this old slave is worried that this person will return to his old ways." Jian Shuo chuckled.

Liu Hong nodded when he heard this and said: "But even so, Chen Mo is just a military commander. His merits are not enough to be promoted to two levels in a row!"

A fifteen-year-old school captain, and being promoted out of the ordinary, will inevitably attract criticism. Many people are eyeing his position in the Eighth School of Xiyuan.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has a plan, which may allow Chen Mo to take over the post of military academy captain without hesitation." Jian Shuo thought.

"Tell me." Liu Hong said calmly, holding the table and looking at the bamboo slips in front of him.

"The corruption of ink was something that Huang Wan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, could secretly investigate, but it was not brought to light. Your Majesty first rewarded a group of people and promoted Chen Mo to Army Sima." Jian Shuo bowed and said, "When the three armies return to Luoyang, Huang Wan will be asked to report.

Impeach Bao Hong and order a thorough investigation at the same time, focusing on the Runan War. After finding out that Bao Hong stole Chen Mo’s meritorious service, we will then promote Chen Mo to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and there won’t be much resistance.”

Although Jian Shuo is not good at training, he is well aware of all the twists and turns in the officialdom and is full of wisdom. As for why he wants to speak for Chen Mo, there is nothing he can do. The selected Xiyuan generals will participate in the war this time.

None of them had a good record, and some even died directly on the battlefield. Only Chen Mo performed very well. No matter how much he looked down on Chen Mo at the time, at this time, we can only take down Chen Mo with the best record first.

I came out and showed it to Liu Hong.

"That's right." Liu Hong nodded, thought for a while and said: "Immediately pass the edict, Bao Hong's troops will be rewarded, Chen Mo will be promoted to Army Sima for his meritorious service, and the rewards of the three armies will be given after they return to Luoyang, and urge Bao Hong to

Hong, return to the city as soon as possible."

"Slave, I obey!" Qian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, agreed and bowed to retreat. He had passed this level. Although he could not get rid of the children of aristocratic families like Yuan Shao, at least he was able to get back the first military school.

As for other things, let’s figure them out later.

When the edict reached Bao Hong, it was already five days later, and Bao Hong's troops had already arrived in Jiaxian County.

Chen Mo was a little disappointed that he was only promoted to Army Sima. He didn't need to take the six million, but this official didn't seem to have any share of his own.

"Don't be discouraged. You can't be named a captain this time. There will definitely be a chance in the future. You are still young. With your ability, you may not be able to become a lieutenant general in the future." Bao Hong was obviously in a good mood at the moment.

His contribution this time is that he can accumulate a lot of capital even if he is not promoted. It will be almost enough when he fights again. By then, even Yuan Shao will not dare to look down on him anymore, right?

Chen Mo could only nod. The Army Sima was not bad either. At least he had doubled his troops and his salary would increase a lot. As for being promoted to captain, considering his age, it seemed really difficult. He just happened to have time to think about it.
