The Nameless of the Common Clans

Hefei had already fallen, but Chen Jin was directly recalled to Luoyang.

In Chen Mo's study in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Mo looked at his son, shook his head and said: "You have just been promoted to county magistrate, and you have accomplished such a great feat. Are you very proud of it?"

"I don't dare, kid." Chen Jin shook his head.

"Well, even if Xu Zhi and Guo Huai have full merit, I will be happy for any one of them to have accomplished this feat, and I will reward them heavily, but not you." Chen Mo looked at his son and said.

"My child is not doing well?" Chen Jin raised his head and looked at Chen Mo doubtfully.

"This thing can be done because the other party doesn't know your true identity. This is your advantage, and you have successfully used it. However, the next few steps were a bit eager for quick success and performance. This is not a lie. Just imagine what you would have done at that time. As an ordinary county magistrate, what would you think if Jiangdong proposed such conditions?" Chen Moxiao asked.

"Excited?" Chen Jin asked curiously.

"What else?" Chen Mo looked at Chen Jin: "If you really want to defect to Jiangdong, will you consider what Jiangdong values ​​​​in you, and will you consider what kind of image you need to have when working with Jiangdong Wenwu in the future? No prince would like a minister who betrays easily. You sent the whole family there in such a hurry, so Zhou Yu let you go!"

Chen Jin nodded, he really didn't consider this well.

"However, although this will be shameful, it will not arouse Jiangdong's vigilance." Chen Mo said with a smile. After all, Dad has come here, and this betrayal is indeed complete.

"But the most important point is not this."

"Please give me some advice, father." Chen Jin bowed.

"You shouldn't put yourself in danger." Chen Mo knocked on the table, looked at Chen Jin and said: "This time it was a lucky move, but if Zhou Yu already knows your identity and tries to trick him, you can Have you ever thought about the consequences?”

"This..." Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "If we are going to use a trick, we can set up an ambush in advance and kill General Han after he enters the city, so that the Jiujiang army will have no one to command?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "In today's military system, even if General Han dies in battle, the army will not be in chaos. At most, there will be several generals like General Han commanding each other, and they will fight independently and cannot coordinate their operations. But Jiangdong wants me to It is impossible for the army to be defeated, and the court will make arrangements soon. "

"First detain the child, and then send troops to seize the city." Chen Jin thought.

"It's too troublesome." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "If I were Zhou Yu, if I knew it, I would lure you here as a pledge, and then use you as hostage in exchange for the entire territory of Jiujiang and even the entire Jianghuai River. If I win, I will only take one city. , even if Hefei is crucial, you can always defeat it! But if you lose, you will be in danger, and the court will be passive and threatened by Jiangdong."

"If that's true, father doesn't have to worry about me!" Chen Jin bowed.

"Childish, do you think any parent in the world can really ignore the life and death of their children? Have you ever thought about what will happen to your mother if this is true?" Chen Mo glared at him and said: "When considering things, you can't just think about yourself, but consider the overall situation. , Why take the overall situation into consideration?”

Chen Jin was silent for a while, then looked up at Chen Mo and said, "But father, I heard that you have also been in danger yourself."

"My father was born with the ability to eliminate good and bad luck, do you have it? Besides, if I didn't work hard as a father, how could I, Chen, be where I am today?" Chen Mo shook his head and said: "You are different, although you don't have to be as bloody as my father. On the battlefield, how can we care about life and death when we have the heavy responsibility of continuing the Chen family on our shoulders?"

"I know I'm wrong, kid." Chen Jin bowed and said.

"Okay, things have happened. There is no point in pursuing this at this time. Your identity has been exposed this time, there is no need to hide it anymore, and with this meritorious service, although you have insufficient qualifications, you are promoted to the prefect, and no one else can say anything. Jiujiang now borders Jiangdong, and no one else wants to go, so you will be promoted to the position of prefect, and I will let Gao Shun be temporarily appointed as Pingnan Zhonglang to accompany you." Chen Mo glanced at Chen Jin and said.

"Father, uncle Gao is now a guard. Doesn't he act like this and be demoted?" Chen Jin was surprised when he heard this.

"I have other arrangements. Gao Shun has been with me for many years. He is an upright and upright person who doesn't care too much about these things. Besides, even if you are willing, I will not let him suffer. There are many heroes in Jiangdong. With just the few people under your command, I I'm really worried, but with Gao Shun here, I feel more at ease." Chen Mo glanced at him and said.

"Father, don't worry, the child will definitely obey General Gao's instructions." Chen Jin bowed.

"That's not necessary. Gao Shun is taciturn. If you ask him for advice every day, he won't be able to say anything. But if he feels that you have done something wrong, he will speak up. Remember, the imperial court is not yet ready to go to war with Jiangdong. When you go to Jiujiang, your main purpose is to defend, and you must not take any more risks!" Chen Mo shook his head. After following him for so many years, Chen Mo naturally knows what kind of character Gao Shun is. If you want him to talk to you every day about how to govern the country! , Gao Shun may have run out of words within two days, but he is a man who can do practical things.

"Now that your identity has been exposed, there is no need to hide it, but as a result, you will have to experience more things, not just things like Jiang Dong. If you don't understand anything, you can ask your great-uncle." Chen Mo thought. thought for a while.

Grand uncle is Chen Mo's uncle, Chen Gui. Now the Chen family has moved to Luoyang, but Chen Gui chose to stay in Xuzhou.

"My child, please follow your father's teachings." Chen Jin bowed and said.

"Also, the little girl from the Bu family." Chen Mo turned around, glanced at Chen Jin and said, "Since we are getting married..."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo got angrier and angrier. He stood up and kicked Chen Jin.

"Father..." Chen Jin looked at Chen Mo in a daze. His father always convinced people with reason and rarely used force.

"Such a big thing, your mother and I were the last to know. Do you know that when I learned the news that day, I would kick you to death." Chen Mo glared at his son and cursed.

Chen Jin immediately shut up. He was in the wrong in this matter.

"This matter is already known to everyone, and I think that girl is quiet and polite, and she is destined to be a noble, but this marriage needs to be held again in Luoyang, with a formal marriage, three matchmakers and six betrothals, nothing can be missing, and I will personally go to the Bu family to discuss it later. You are smart, not only did you rob the person, but also took the whole family away, which is rare in ancient and modern times. You can also ask someone to pretend to be me, you are also very smart?"

The most pitiful person in this matter is probably Zhang Xiu, who was inexplicably dragged to Hefei and played Chen Mo. Not only was he nervous, but he also had to worry about whether Chen Mo would settle accounts with him in the future. He had a bitter face throughout the whole process in Hefei, and that was not fake.

"In an emergency, we must make a compromise... that..." Chen Jin lowered his head in embarrassment. Who knew that the matter would become known to everyone in the end.

"This matter is over with me, but you can talk to your grandmother and your mother yourself. They are in charge of family affairs." Chen Mo shook his sleeves and started to chase people away. There were still a lot of troubles to do next.

However, it was not bad to be able to pull a talent like Bu Yi here. Chen Mo had already communicated with Bu Yi, and he was indeed a great man. Now the whole Bu family has been pulled to Luoyang. It is impossible to return to Jiangdong. Now they have settled down in Luoyang, but Chen Mo has not yet decided how to arrange it.

Chen Jin smiled and said goodbye, and went to find his grandmother and mother. Chen's mother had nothing to say. The old lady was very satisfied with this grandson, but Cai Yan naturally had to preach again. Compared with Chen Mo's straightforward and direct approach to the problem, Cai Yan was different. She kept nagging all day, making Chen Jin dizzy. At night, she went to bed with Chen Mo and was still nagging about this matter. After being severely whipped by Chen Mo in the middle of the night, she was quiet.

In the following period, the Prime Minister's Mansion began to be busy with Chen Jin's marriage. Chen Mo also went to the Bu family in person to apologize, and invited Zhong Yao and Yang Biao, two of the three ministers of the dynasty, to come to the door to act as matchmakers, which was considered to give the Bu family enough face.

Although Bu Wei was a little unhappy because of the previous incident, the sincerity given by Chen Mo's attitude was enough to let anyone let go of their grudges. Now it is impossible for the Bu family to return to Jiangdong, and they will have to live in the Central Plains in the future. The two people Chen Mo invited may not have real power, but in terms of reputation and status, that is enough.

Therefore, the marriage of Chen Jin and Bu Lianshi was quite smooth this time. The wedding of the prime minister's son did not seem to be a big deal for the world, but for Luoyang, it was not a small matter. However, when this matter was spread to Jiangdong, it was a slap in the face!

...

Jiangdong, Moling!

"Chen Jin, you little thief, you've gone too far!" Sun Quan slammed the bamboo slips on the table with a sullen face. Who could have thought that this incident not only failed to recruit outstanding people for Jiangdong, but also lost Hefei, and by the way, it also took away a talent of his own, and the kind with a family.

"My lord, Yu's plan was not careful, which led to the defeat of Jiangdong. Please punish me!" Zhou Yu's face was also not good. Chen Jin's remarriage in Luoyang was equivalent to announcing that the wedding in Hefei did not count. This slap in the face was secondary. The most important thing was that because of this plan, Hefei was lost. Originally in Jianghuai, the Jiangdong army was in a position where it could attack and defend. Now that Hefei was taken by the enemy, the other cities in Jiangbei could not be taken. Even Lujiang had to be prepared. For Jiangdong, this blow was not small, and he, Zhou Yu, would become a laughing stock.

"Gongjin, don't blame yourself. Who would have thought that Chen Jin was actually Chen Mo's son?" Sun Quan had a headache when he said this. Although they had the same name and surname, Chen Jin's career was really from the head of the village to the elders, step by step. He was promoted to the county magistrate, which was a dangerous place where people had just died. Who would have thought that Chen Mo hid so deeply and drove his own son to such a dangerous place?

Even if it was Chen Jin's origin, they really lived in that small village, and for a long time. What was Chen Mo thinking in his mind?

This battle was lost inexplicably, but there was nothing he could do. He just threw his son out to deceive you. Sun Quan also nodded in this matter. How could he blame Zhou Yu?

"Let's leave it at that. Gongjin still needs to arrange the deployment to Jiujiang, but remember to be careful this time."

"Yes!"
