The Nameless of the Common Clans

Nangong, Jiade Hall.

Liu Hong has been getting weaker recently and hasn't been to court for a long time. Today, he suddenly summoned all the ministers to reward them for their merits, which surprised all the court officials. Especially when they saw the emperor coughing on the jade steps, everyone was a little worried, but more puzzled.

Although the military lieutenant's achievements in the expedition against the rebels in Runan were good, he could be rewarded with an imperial edict. Why should he be conferred in person?

"Announce!" Liu Hong tried to cheer up, looked at Zhang Rang beside him, and said in a slightly low voice.

"Announce, military lieutenant Bao Hong and military commander Chen Mo to the hall!" Zhang Rang bowed and then said loudly to His Highness.

Chen Mo?

For most people, this is an unfamiliar name. It is understandable to summon Bao Hong to reward for merits, but who is Chen Mo? Many ministers began to discuss.

For Chen Mo, this was his first time to enter the palace, but he was shocked by the flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings.

"Why did His Majesty summon me?" Chen Mo looked at Bao Hong, who was serious beside him, puzzled.

"How should I know?" Bao Hong seemed a little nervous, and there was even a little tremor in his voice.

"You don't look very good today." Chen Mo looked at Bao Hong carefully for a moment and frowned.

Bao Hong's luck was disappearing, and now it was almost down to ten points. If it dropped further, his life would be in danger. What happened?

Chen Mo checked his luck with some doubts, but found that his luck was constantly rising.

Good things are coming?

Chen Mo looked up, looked at the solemn and magnificent Jiade Hall, and then looked at Bao Hong. He suddenly sighed in his heart, said nothing, and continued to follow Bao Hong.

In the Battle of Runan, even if Bao Hong had not informed Chen Mo, he could not escape Chen Mo's eyes. However, as Bao Hong said, no one would really investigate this matter. As a subordinate, Chen Mo was not in a good habit to sue his superiors, and he was easily disliked by others.

But now, judging from Bao Hong's luck, it is obvious that he will fall this time.

Schadenfreude?

It seems a bit, after all, more than half of Bao Hong's credit this time should be his own. If he had these credits, he might be able to make further progress. This is not impossible. Moreover, the unexplained increase in his luck also means that he will be able to replace Bao Hong?

The lower military lieutenant is one of the three most powerful lieutenants under Jian Shuo. He holds three troops and horses. In the whole Luoyang, in terms of the military, he is a well-known figure, and his salary has also been greatly improved. He does not have to worry about money anymore.

Of course, there would be some sympathy. Putting aside the matter of grabbing credit, Bao Hong was still okay with himself. Although his ability was a little lacking, if he was really dismissed from office or even imprisoned, he would still have some sympathy.

With mixed feelings, the two of them walked into the Jiade Hall one after the other.

"Your Majesty, I, Bao Hong (Chen Mo), pay my respects to you!" The two stood in the middle of the Jiade Hall and paid homage to the emperor on the jade steps.

"No need to be polite." Liu Hong raised his hand a little tiredly, motioning the two to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two stood up and bowed to the palace.

"Are you Chen Mo?" Ignoring Bao Hong, Liu Hong lowered his head and looked at Chen Mo, with a slight smile on his pale face: "Raise your head and let me see the young general of my Han Dynasty."

"Yes~" Chen Mo took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked at the emperor, and silently checked the other party's fate and luck, but what he saw was not the same as usual.

True Dragon Fate (5), Luck 100

Luck 100 is the highest luck that Chen Mo has seen so far, but the True Dragon Fate is the first time Chen Mo has seen it. All the ones he has seen before are destiny, but for this Son of Heaven, the destiny column is replaced by fate. But what exactly is the concept of this 5-point fate? Chen Mo was a little confused, or was it like a skill breakthrough, and he had to start calculating again?

"Bold!" Just when Chen Mo was a little dazed, Zhang Rang, who was standing beside the emperor, raised his eyebrows and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty asked you, how dare you not answer?"

Chen Mo came back to his senses and bowed down quickly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is the first time I have seen Your Majesty. I am terrified and frightened by Your Majesty's majesty. I am panicking. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Forget it!" Liu Hong waved his hand, smiling more: "After all, he is a young man, so it is understandable. Chen Mo, I have read the battle report of Runan. You marched hundreds of miles for several days and directly attacked the heartland of the Gepi thieves. Did you know that there were not many soldiers in Qinqiu and Gepo at that time? Or was it pure luck?"

If Chen Mo had not known in advance, he would have dared to run to the heartland with more than 200 people. That would be really stupid.

"Your Majesty, although I have no talent or virtue, I dare not put my soldiers in danger. Before I went to Qinqiu, I captured several messengers of the Gepi bandits. From them, I learned that the Gepi bandits were about to attack Qiao County and had gathered a large number of troops. Even most of their food and grass were migrating northward. If I led the people to the east, I would encounter the main force of the Gepi bandits. If I want to cut off their food supply, I don't have enough troops and it is difficult to win. So I chose Qinqiu. First, this place is closer to Gepi. Once this place is captured, it will be like holding the vital point of the Gepi bandits. If the main force of the Gepi bandits returns to help, I will lead my troops to retreat to Xiang County. If the main force of the Gepi bandits does not return to help, I will disguise myself as the defeated Gepi bandits and go to the Gepi camp, waiting for an opportunity to kill their leader." Chen Mo bowed and said.

"What do you think of what this boy said?" Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction and asked the ministers below the stairs.

Lu Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this move seems reckless, but as Chen Mo said, it seems to be dangerous. Moreover, Chen Mo did not attack the city recklessly, but designed to lure the rebels out of the city. His decisiveness in acting was foreboding. It’s so accurate that few people can match it.”

The ministers looked at Lu Zhi with some surprise. Lu Zhi was not only a great scholar, he was also a famous general in the world when he led troops and fought in battles. Moreover, he rarely praised others like this.

Of course, some people are speculating on the deeper meaning of Lu Zhi's move.

However, although Lu Zhi's reputation was high, his weight in the court was slightly insufficient. General He Jin frowned and came out of the queue, cupped his hands in front of Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, although this young man has a lot of generals, he can't do it this time." Bao Hong was the first to defeat the Gebei thieves."

As soon as the two of them came in, Liu Hong asked an army commander about his merits. Instead, he ignored the hero who was responsible for the victory over the Gebei bandits. This was somewhat unreasonable. In He Jin's view, Bao Hong believed that he was the hero. People are somewhat dissatisfied when they see that the emperor only cares about one general, but ignores the main general.

"I forgot." Liu Hong lowered his head and looked down at Bao Hong. The originally warm expression on his face gradually turned cold: "Bao Hong, do you have anything to say?"

All the ministers were stunned when they heard Liu Hong's words. How could this tone sound like he was interrogating a prisoner?

"Your Majesty, the last general..." Bao Hong was also a little dazed by Liu Hong's tone and demeanor. He thought about many possibilities. Even though Liu Hong just asked Chen Mo, he ignored him and ignored him. Hongdu didn't think it was anything, but Liu Hong's tone and demeanor at this moment made Bao Hong feel at a loss and fell to his knees with a thud: "The general has no words."

"You don't have it, but I do!" Liu Hong picked up a bamboo slip from the case, looked at Bao Hong and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Bao Hong became more and more panicked. He knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground: "I don't know the end."

"This is a report sent by Huang Wan, the shepherd of Yuzhou, on a starry night. It says that you withheld military pay privately, and while you were in Runan, you also asked for property from local gentry and people. What's wrong? The military pay distributed by the imperial court is not enough? You are asked to ask for money from the people. Reach out? People have come to the palace to sue, and I have lost all my face by you." Liu Hong threw the bamboo slip to Zhang Rang, who quickly walked down the jade steps with the bamboo slip and handed it to He Jin. Circulated by ministers.

For a time, the courtiers were talking a lot.

In fact, deducting military pay and enriching one's own pockets is nothing new. Although the ministers looked indignant, they probably didn't feel much about this move in their hearts. They had even thought about how to excuse Bao Hong for a while, wasn't it? How many connections Bao Hong has, but for this kind of thing, if Bao Hong is severely punished, they will do the same if the incident comes to light in the future. Protecting Bao Hong is actually protecting them.

"Your Majesty!" Although Liu Hong's face was livid, He Jin still stepped forward and bowed: "Although this is unethical, Bao Hong has finally succeeded in defeating the thief. I hope your Majesty will be given a lighter sentence."

It is impossible to get away from guilt. Although no one pursues the case on weekdays, if the matter really comes to court, it is another matter.

"General, please be at peace. This is more than just that!" Liu Hong took another bamboo slip in his hand, looked down at Bao Hong and said, "This is the memorial sent to me by the officers and soldiers of the army. In the battle against the Gebei bandits, no matter what the plans are, , or leading the troops to fight, almost all of it is Chen Mo's credit, and even the strategies are all from Chen Mo's hand. You even had a conflict with Chen Mo because of this, and Chen Mo finally apologized and persuaded you to follow his strategies. "

Zhang Rang quickly passed the bamboo slips on. This time, the reaction of the officials was obviously much fiercer. Not only was Bao Hong's move unethical, but more importantly, they saw that the emperor was going to kill Bao Hong this time, and Very well prepared.

Bao Hong lay on the ground, feeling as if all his strength had been taken away. He turned his head and looked at Chen Mo with some resentment: "You are so cruel."

Chen Mo was speechless. He really didn't know about this matter, and he didn't know who sent the memorial to the emperor. But even if he explained it now, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

"Okay, Bao Hong, you are really my good general. You have no plan in fighting, but you are very clever in grabbing credit!" Liu Hong slammed the table and waited for Zang Hong to say: "You are really my good minister."

"Your Majesty, this is Chen Mo's initiative to share the credit. The general did not force him!" Bao Hong paid no attention to Chen Mo and kowtowed to the emperor.

"What General Bao said sounds nice, but as the commander-in-chief, if he doesn't want to, what can you do?" Zhang Rang said leisurely.

"Put this person in jail!" Liu Hong was already a little tired and waved his hand.

Immediately, the guards in front of the palace came forward and dragged Bao Hong away while he was begging for mercy.
