Lei Shou Mountain, New Military Camp.

The south wind has been blowing recently. Although the place where Chen Mo stores manure is more than ten miles away from here, he can still smell the stench blowing in the wind.

Gao Shun received a summons from Chen Mo today, and Dalang was in charge of the military training. When he came to Chen Mo with a team of personal guards, he saw Chen Mo instructing farmers to take out buckets of newly delivered excrement and dry it with fire.

.

In the military camp, there was only a faint odor, but as the time approached, the overwhelming stench was overwhelming and suffocating. I quickly took the wet wipes handed over by my subordinates and tied them on my face to block my mouth and nose.

"Envoy!" Gao Shun dismounted and tried to open his eyes to find Chen Mo, who was wearing short clothes in the crowd. He looked like a country farmer now.

"Why are General Gao here?" Chen Mo rubbed the tears that were smeared out of the corners of his eyes, looked at Gao Shun and said with a smile, most of his face was covered tightly.

Although he has done this since he was a child, this is the first time he has done it on such a large scale.

"Your Majesty is the head of a county. How come you don't want to govern the country and strengthen the army?" Gao Shun didn't know how to evaluate Chen Mo's behavior. Instead of acting as a good governor, he came to make manure. Even an ordinary farmer could do this.

Do it, why would Chen Mo, a prefect, end up personally?

"You don't understand. When I was farming when I was young, I discovered some ways to improve manure. Different ratios, the fertility of the manure produced is different." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Today, when we make manure, we simply irrigate it with manure water.

It’s easy to overdose if you’re not careful, but with my method, I guarantee you won’t overdose. I will test it in the official fields this year. After the harvest is over, the yield per mu will increase by 30%. Then we can promote it, and I won’t have to do it myself.

Nowadays, no one knows how to do it, so they have to worry about it."

Gao Shun looked at Chen Mo and smiled stiffly: "When the general was young, his interests were really unique."

Other people's children mostly play in the mud, but yours...

Gao Shun didn't know how to evaluate it, but if the yield per mu could really increase by 30%, it would be good news for them, at least they wouldn't have to worry about taxes.

"It's not interest. If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. If you don't change your mind, you will starve to death. I have endured this hardship, so I hope that the people under my rule can live a better life." Chen Mo shook his head and gave instructions to everyone.

Continuing to make manure, he asked: "How is the training of the new recruits?"

"I have been practicing hard for a month, and I am finally seeing results." Gao Shun bowed and said.

"Call the troops and horses in the school, and then send someone to tell Yu Fuluo to lead the troops and wait here. I want to go back to Anyi to arrange everything. When I come back, I will take them to Luoyang." Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "

When I went to Luoyang, I was treated very favorably when I performed county duties. After training, you would sit in the east of the river for me and patrol the counties. In addition, the Baibo bandits also need to pay attention. Recently, these thieves have not been too honest."

Starting from the first month of the first month, the princes of Guandong began to raise troops one after another. Dong Zhuo had already deployed heavy defense forces at Yique Pass and Hangu Pass, and Chen Mo was also asked to return to Luoyang.

Chen Mo naturally has to go back. Yun Si and Juan'er are still staying in Luoyang. If he responds to the Guandong princes at this time, they will be the first to suffer.

Moreover, this war is about the fate of the world. Since Chen Mo already has the will to stand on his own, he naturally cannot stay out of it. In terms of justice, he should stand on the side of the emperor. However, Zang Hong sent a letter before, hoping that Chen Mo can help him in the crusade.

I will do my best to deal with Dong Zhuo, but Chen Mo will make his own decision.

Therefore, Chen Mo is planning to go back to Luoyang first, but Chen Mo is not prepared to take the elite troops he brought with him. No matter who he fights with, he is not prepared to contribute, and it is best not to fight. Even with the two thousand new troops, Chen Mo does not want to If it is damaged, it would be best to bring some more people, horses, property and people from Luoyang.

The east of the river is a rich county, but if you go further north, the land of Bingzhou is barren and the population is sparse. In short, everything is lacking. Chen Mo has to prepare for the future, and naturally there will never be enough money, food and population.

"I reassure you that the general will immediately lead his troops north to guard Linfen, but I don't know who he wants to be as general when he returns to Luoyang this time?" Gao Shun nodded and asked immediately.

Chen Mo's generals, Dalang and he are currently training troops in Leishou Mountain, but they can leave one. Zhong Yun and Cui Geng are already quite effective. Now Hedong is restoring people's livelihood, and the household registration matter is also being strictly investigated. Chen Moneng The people taken away are probably Dian Wei, Yu Sheng and Bao Geng, but these three people are not too relieved, and they are not enough.

"The newly recruited Han Kai and Bai Piao should join the army. They will just make up five army commanders." Chen Mo said with a smile.

These two people were the people recommended by Wei Jian to Chen Mo. Wei Jian held a banquet that day, and these two people were also included in the banquet. They were also considered local wealthy people, and they had some abilities, but their personalities were very different. Han Kai was a person. Bai Piao is serious and meticulous in everything he does and says. Bai Piao has a bold temperament, is brave and fierce, but has good martial arts skills. After Chen Mo passed the examination, he happily took the two of them into his account, but they have not been officially appointed yet.

"General, I'll go and count the troops right now." Gao Shun took the order and said goodbye immediately. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment. I really don't know how Chen Mo could stay here all these days.

After Chen Mo watched Gao Shun leave, he explained to a group of old farmers in detail how to compost and make fertilizer, and then asked them to continue doing it during his absence. After the spring plowing began, and how to fertilize it, he got on his horse and left for Anyi. .

After staying in Leishou Mountain for nearly a month, even after leaving now, Chen Mo still smelled like a smell all over his body. After arriving in Anyi, Chen Mo did not go to see Man Chong immediately, but asked someone to boil water for a bath.

After changing into a Confucian robe, Chen Mo went to the main hall to see Man Chong.

"Is your Majesty doing this to respond to the alliance of the princes or to the emperor's edict?" When he arrived at the lobby of the government office, Man Chong didn't waste much time and went straight to the topic. He was very busy recently.

The laws and implementation plans set by Chen Mo have somewhat changed, and they need to be promoted in various counties. In order to prevent the various decrees from being misinterpreted or over-interpreted during these days, Man Chong has personally traveled to various counties to check, and now a little announcement On the right track, it’s farming season again, which is the busiest time of the year.

In fact, Man Chong is a little disgusted that the princes of Guandong are raising armies. Even if you want to raise armies, why don't you wait until after the autumn harvest? It is the busy time of farming and all the strong men are taken away. It is foreseeable that many people will die this winter, but this kind of thing is not possible for Man Chong. Even if you are dissatisfied with your favor, you can't do anything about it.

"I have asked Gao Shun to order two thousand new soldiers to join the Sili Xiaowei Department and follow me back to Luoyang. During my absence, I will leave all matters in Hedong to Boning." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Let you rest assured. I'll keep you here until you come back." Man Chong nodded.

Man Chong agreed that Chen Mo only brought two thousand soldiers and horses to Luoyang to deal with errands. Although the Kwantung princes were powerful, Dong Zhuo had the reputation of being orthodox. In fact, strictly speaking, the Kwantung princes were considered rebels, and Hedong The position is too important. Once Hedong joins the Guandong Lords Alliance, Dong Zhuo will be the first to attack Hedong. If left alone, Chen Mo will be able to cut off the road between Luoyang and Chang'an as soon as possible. When the time comes, Dong Zhuo is dead.

So this time Chen Mo personally led his troops into Luoyang, and Man Chong was in favor of resolving the siege of Hedong and giving Hedong time to develop with peace of mind. As for the Kwantung princes, the terrain on Hedong was protected by mountains and rivers, so the Kwantung princes wanted to

Fighting would not only take a long detour, but the opponent would also suffer in terms of terrain, and Hedong would have the opportunity to develop steadily.

Moreover, Chen Mo entrusted him with the management of the foundation he had worked so hard to build. Although he had no expression on his face, he was still quite grateful for this feeling of being trusted.

"Besides, I would like to ask you to pay attention to something." Man Chong said with a smile.

"Oh?" It was rare to see a smile on Man Chong's face, so Chen Mo asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"Talent." Man Chong thought for a while and said: "If the envoy wants to take Bingzhou, he must first go too far, to Shangdang and other places. These two counties are the rich and prosperous areas of Bingzhou, and they also need people who are loyal to the envoy. In addition, Bingzhou is close to

Hetao is adjacent to Xianbei in the north. No one in our army is good at cavalry fighting, and there are few who are good at fighting cavalry."

Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. These two issues were indeed top priority for him. Dong Zhuo had many generals who were good at cavalry warfare. This time he went to Luoyang to make friends and see if he could recruit a few.

.

As for talents... Chen Mo had a lot of acquaintances in Taiyuan University in the past, some of whom were truly capable and pragmatic. Even if they were not favored, Chen Mo was going to Luoyang this time to recruit these people under his command.

"I will pay attention." Chen Mo nodded and stood up and said: "This time is a bit urgent. The imperial court has sent three edicts to me in a row. I hope Boning will take more care of the county affairs."

"Shijun!" Man Chong stood up, looked at Chen Mo seriously and said: "Chong will ask Zhong Yun to go to the Hebei area to provide support. If things cannot be done, Shijun will think of ways to escape as soon as possible!"

"It's rare." Chen Mo wanted to laugh, but looking at Man Chong's serious look, he finally nodded and said: "Don't worry Boning, I am more life-saving and will not take risks easily."

"Congratulations to the envoy!" Man Chong said with a deep salute.

Chen Mo took Dian Wei, Yu Sheng, Bao Geng, Bai Piao, and Han Kai with him and rode straight to Leishou Mountain. When Gao Shun had ordered two thousand new troops for Chen Mo.

Although it is a new army, Gao Shun has selected warriors who are good at fighting from the former Yellow Turban troops this time. The momentum gives people a different feeling.

Chen Mo asked the five generals to each bring a man and horse to accompany him, while Dalang led the men to follow Chen Mo all the way and sent Chen Mo to Puban.

"Go back." Chen Mo rode his horse and came to Dalang with some emotion: "To sum it up, this is the first time since the Zhongping Year that you and I have been separated to lead the troops and study the art of war. As you said,

In the future, you will kill people for me, and now it seems that there will be many people to kill."

"Lord, take care of me." Dalang took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Chen Mo: "I will definitely live up to my lord's trust. When my lord comes back, I am willing to pioneer for my lord and bring peace to the world!"

"Be careful!" Chen Mo patted Da Lang on the shoulder, then hugged him tightly and said, "While I'm not here, go find a wife and come back to host your marriage."
