The Bu family is a large family in Huaiyin. When Yuan Shu was in charge of Jianghuai, he avoided trouble in Jiangdong. In the fifth year of Jian'an, a talented Bu Zhi from the Bu family joined Sun Ce's command. Later, after Sun Ce died, Bu Zhi became the official of Danyang County, and the Bu family

It was also at that time that the whole family moved to Jiangdong.

It is quite interesting to talk about how Chen Jin married the Bu family. Even now, Chen Mo is a little amused when he thinks about it.

The time goes back to two years ago.

When Chen Jin first came to Chengde, Chengde was in a mess. It had just been raided by Jiangdong. No one in the court was willing to come here to take office. Most of the people in the county who had the ability moved to other places, either to Jiangdong or to Shou.

To make a living north of Chun, Han Qiong established a defense line in the Shouchun area to prevent the Jiangdong Army from invading, and Chengde belonged to the periphery of the defense line.

After Chen Jin arrived in Chengde with Xu Zhi, Dianman, Guo Huai and others, he began to actively seek out the people's sentiments and visited the local gentry and gentry who had not left, hoping that they would stay.

However, based on the situation in Chengde at that time, the wealthy gentry had either fled or built forts to protect themselves, and the rest had secretly defected to Jiangdong.

As soon as Chen Jin arrived in Chengde, he was faced with various difficulties by the local gentry. Several government orders were issued, but the county officials violated them. When he visited the gentry, he naturally encountered obstacles one after another.

I followed Chen Mo's example of pretending to be a vendor and wandering around the countryside. Because he had rich rural experience in Juyi Township, Chen Jin could easily clarify the problems Chengde County was probably facing from the villagers' mouths.

The population loss is serious. The six remaining gentry families in the local area have secretly defected to Jiangdong. At the same time, they have basically controlled the entire Chengde. The land in Chengde has basically been given to these six families. As for why the six families have not defected, this is naturally not the case.

Ordinary people can know.

After integrating the information, Chen Jin returned to Chengde County, visited the six wealthy gentry owners again, and hinted that he had also defected to Jiangdong, and that he came here to try to help Jiangdong break through Han Qiong's defense line.

Originally, Chen Jin just made up a reason, but unexpectedly, these six families responded immediately and accepted Chen Jin.

Although there was no evidence, such a flawed reason was accepted by the other party, which made Chen Jin full of doubts. However, Cheng De had to take over the initiative immediately, and things would change later. Chen Jin hosted a banquet for the heads of the six families.

.

At that time, Chen Jin only had Dianman, Guo Huai, Xu Zhi and 20 retinues in his hands. In addition, the top and bottom of the government office were all members of the six family heads. There was no doubt that these six family heads were there.

He came to a banquet with his companions, but while they were drunk, Chen Jin captured and killed six family heads in one fell swoop.

Although the twenty followers were not many, they were all personally selected by Chen Mo. They were all skilled in martial arts and cooperated with each other tacitly. They were not comparable to those private soldiers of wealthy families. Four of the six family heads were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were captured alive.

Chen Jin also took the opportunity to kill officials in the government offices and seize power.

Then the county guards were assembled and the city gates were sealed. Guo Huai was appointed as the county captain and Xu Zhi was responsible for the security of the city. In just one day, they successfully seized power, pacified the people in the city, and raided the homes of six people.

After interrogating the two captured family heads, Chen Jin unexpectedly learned that Jiangdong was really planning to use the six family heads to secretly investigate Han Qiong's reality and wait for an opportunity to break through the defense line established by Han Qiong. Jiangdong also happened to send someone to coordinate everything.

, Chen Jin’s casual fabrication was in line with Jiang Dong’s plan, causing these people to regard Chen Jin as a spy sent by Jiang Dong.

After learning the news, Chen Jin immediately sent someone to inform Han Qiong. He wanted to use his plan to cheat Jiangdong. After blockading Chengde County, he used his family members as hostages to force the two families to cooperate with him. He, Guo Huai, and Dian

Man and Xu Zhi each pretended to be the head of a family and spread the news to the outside world at the same time. Xinxian and his subordinates were all killed and their bodies were thrown into the wild. At the same time, they secretly ordered people to go to Hefei to urge Jiangdong to take over Chengde.

Unexpectedly, Jiangdong sent two thousand people to take over, but Chen Jin and Han Qiong were trapped in the city and surrounded and annihilated.

Two thousand soldiers and horses were lost all at once, which is not much to look at, but Jiangdong's troops in Hefei were only more than 10,000, and he still had to control key areas to confront the Han army. The loss of these two thousand men was a lot for Hefei.

, the plan was seen through, and Jiang Dong naturally calmed down Han Qiong's thoughts.

In this battle, Chen Jin strategized, acted decisively, and did not hesitate when it was time to be ruthless. He had finally established a firm foothold in Chengde.

In the next more than a year, he actively built fortifications, built water conservancy projects in Chengde, and set up forts. After obtaining permission from the court, he began to train field soldiers in Chengde. They worked in the fields during busy farming periods and during slack periods.

Training, once Jiangdong invades, use various Wubao as strongholds and beacons as signals to support each other. At the same time, Chengde city defenses are strengthened to ensure that after Chengde is attacked, the nearest garrison can be notified as soon as possible and can hold on.

Until the garrison arrives.

Although he has never been on the battlefield, Chen Jin has shown good layout ability in running Cheng Dezhong this time. He has almost made corresponding responses to possible attacks in Hefei. In more than a year,

During this period, Chengde's local militia alone repelled Jiangdong's invasion more than a dozen times. Under the harassment of Jiangdong's army, the people of Chengde gradually restored their livelihood and became a solid stronghold against Jiangdong.

Originally, these things had nothing to do with the Bu family, but Chengde gradually became a solid barrier against Jiangdong's invasion from a city that was almost controlled by Jiangdong. Naturally, it attracted the attention of Zhou Yu, who had been paying attention to this area.

"Lord, this man is a rare talent. If he can be persuaded to surrender, he will definitely help me Jiangdong in the future!" Zhou Yu dared to say this to Sun Quan. Naturally, he also carefully checked Chen Jin's background. This place near Luoyang couldn't be more ordinary.

The son of Li Zheng in the countryside, gradually served as Li Zheng and the third elder based on his own ability, and then was promoted to county magistrate because of the Central Plains system. These are all well-founded.

In order to avoid people doubting Chen Jin's origin, Chen Mo really created a hometown for his son. It was the village where Chen Mo took Chen Jin to experience the life of the common people when he was young. Everything can be traced, let alone Zhou Yu.

, even if the ministers of the DPRK noticed Chen Jin, they could still find the source.

As for names, there are so many people with the surname Chen in the world, and having the same name is not uncommon.

Sun Quan frowned when he heard this and said, "But I think this man has quite a lot of opinions. Can Gong Jin convince him to come and vote?"

Chen Jin has proven his ability with facts, but his performance will also be valued by the Luoyang court. Sun Quan can't figure out how to convince this person?

"According to the Luoyang court, Chen Jin has made great achievements this time, and it will take at least ten years to be promoted to the prefecture!" Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I think this person's ability will make him a prefectureate."

It's more than enough. In addition, the Luoyang court can't give you birth status, but we can."

"Oh?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in confusion and said in surprise: "Although this person's background is not high, Chen Mo never pays attention to his background when hiring people."

"But how many outstanding people are there in the Central Plains? Even with such meritorious deeds, the person's ability to be an official to the prefecture is his limit. If there are no major changes, it will be easy for him to be promoted to the prefecture, but it will be difficult to go further. If he cannot go further, he also wants to do a good job.

As an official, it may be difficult for his son to truly integrate into the gentry." Zhou Yu sighed.

In recent years, the Central Plains can be said to have produced a large number of talents. On the other hand, Jiangdong has many talents, but not many can really take on important responsibilities. In this case, the demand for foreign talents in Jiangdong and Jingzhou is far greater than that of Chen Mo.

It is much more urgent! This is also the reason why Zhou Yu has been actively running Hefei in the past two years. Judging from the current situation, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it is to Chen Mo. And Jiangdong wants to imitate Chen Mo's change. Sun Ce's era was okay.

But it was difficult when it came to Sun Quan.

Does origin matter?

Of course it is important. Even if you are as enlightened as Chen Mo, nowadays most of the selection of scholars is to expand the scope of selection to common people, poor families and some children of meritorious soldiers. Without this background, it is difficult to become an official, and it takes four hundred years to raise a big man.

The understanding of success cannot be overturned by Chen Mo in a few years or more. Someone has done this before, but failed and died miserably. Can you tell me whether birth is important?

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yu felt confident in drawing Chen Jin to Jiangdong's side.

"Gong Jin is talking about...marriage?" Sun Quan asked.

"Yes, I see that Chen Jin is over 20 years old, but he is not married yet. I am afraid that is why, although he is quite talented, it is difficult to marry a match." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

In terms of family background, even if a wealthy family is willing to marry an upright son, Chen Jin himself may not look down on him. But if he wants to marry a real wealthy family, others will not look down on him. Zhou Yu thinks that based on this, Chen Jin can be

Jin pulled him over. After all, even if Chen Jin really climbed to the position of prefect, it would probably take five years for the Luoyang court to make an extraordinary promotion. If he could come to Jiangdong, he would be able to join the ranks of the nobles immediately, saving the other party which may have to spend decades.

Time, and the most important thing is that Chen Jin is just a county magistrate now. If he really waits for him to climb higher, it will be difficult to win over this kind of person.

Zhou Yu was very optimistic about this young man, so he suggested that Sun Quan take action early.

"Does Gong Jin have a suitable candidate?" Sun Quan asked with a smile.

"Actually, Yu thinks that my little sister is not bad, even though she is three years older than Chen Jin, but..."

"Ahem~" Sun Quan coughed lightly and looked at Zhou Yu with a dangerous look.

"What do you think, my lord, about the daughter of the Bu family?" Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly. It is true that Sun Xiaomei has passed the special age, but she has not been able to get married. Zhou Yu is a little anxious, but since Sun Quan is not willing, Zhou Yu can only find someone else.

.

"Daughter of the Bu family?" Sun Quan thought for a while, nodded and said, "But this matter also requires Zishan's consent, right?"

"If your lord agrees, I will go to Danyang to talk to Zishan." Zhou Yu nodded.

"Gong Jin is going to Hefei?" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu in surprise.
