"Serious?" Chen Deng put down the bamboo slip in his hand, this is Chen Mo carved the Xun family's family learning through memory, even Chen Mo has never read it, so he can't put it down because of these days.

"I guess it's going to be messy!" Chen Mo nodded.

"You want me to go back, do you want to use the Chen family's resources?" Chen Deng asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded, compared to Chen Deng staying, he is more valuable when he goes back, he needs the support of the Chen family, even if Chen Deng is the son of the Chen family, there are some things, Chen Deng said that it doesn't count.

"What are your plans?" Chen Deng asked.

"I want to get a land, maybe I can get the position of state pastor?" Chen Mo asked.

"Impossible." Chen Deng shook his head: "Brother Mo's qualifications are too shallow, and the local heroes are intertwined, even if he is barely a state pastor, it is difficult to gain a foothold if he has no foundation." ”

"A county is too guarded?" Chen Mo understands Chen Deng's words, at present, among the state pastors released by the imperial court, there are few who can seize the authority, and there is no one around him to help now, the state pastor is indeed a little reluctant, but if a county is too guarded, with Chen Mo's current prestige and merits, it is more than enough.

"It's not difficult." Chen Deng nodded, if he was too guarded, Chen Mo's current prestige and merits were easy to release, and he looked at Chen Mo and said, "But it seems that there is no need for family help." ”

"Yes, although my brother has now entered the official career, his connections are thin, so he has a land, but there is no one around him to help him." Chen Mo pondered: "At present, the original prince is hesitant, but Dong Zhuo is resolute and decisive, but the trend of secession in the world is not obvious, Dong Zhuo's move has given everyone a pretext to break away from the imperial court, and the current outcome of this struggle is unknown, but even if Dong Zhuo is forced away, it is difficult for the imperial court decree to reach the county, so I need a place to settle down to watch the changes of the times." ”

If there is any leeway, Chen Mo will not take this step, but today's Yuan Shao is somewhat disappointing, Chen Mo's decision is also to leave a way back for himself.

"Where do you want to go?" Chen Deng was not in a hurry, but while carefully rolling up the bamboo slips, he looked at Chen Mo and asked with a smile.

"The Central Plains is the best, and so can the hometown." Chen Mo pondered, although he is smart, but to be honest, most of his understanding of the world comes from books, and if he is really asked to shepherd one side, he still needs time to adapt.

"You said that if the princes really divide the country, what will happen to this world?" Chen Deng asked with a smile.

"Just like the Zhou Dynasty back then." Chen Mo thought for a moment.

The decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the prestige of the royal family is not there, only the name remains, the princes have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the world has been reunited, this is the last thing Chen Mo wants to see, in that case, will he continue to assist the Han family or ......

"So, if that's the case, what about Brother Mo?" Chen Deng asked with a smile.

"The brave do their best, the wise do their best, and recruit talents...... In the end, Chen Mo shook his head helplessly, and thought: "In addition, we should reopen the world and establish order!" ”

Why did Dahan come here? Etiquette collapsed, order collapsed, and to restore the unity of the world, order cannot wait for the unity of the world to be re-established, and it is necessary to lay a good foundation at the beginning.

Talent is also an important reason for Chen Mo to let Chen Deng go back, if he becomes a prince, he needs more talents to govern all parties and help himself re-establish rules and order, so that the government can last longer.

"Good ambition!" Chen Deng nodded, took down a map from the bookshelf, and spread it out on the table: "But although Brother Mo is smart and difficult for ordinary people to reach, there are some things that Brother Mo doesn't understand, although the land of the Central Plains is fertile, but it is a horse and a flat river, not to mention that the local clan is the most deeply rooted in the Central Plains, even if you choose Xuzhou, the Chen family may be able to help you find a county, but if you want to find a state, you need the right time, place and people, that is, you want to restore the unification of the world in the future, you are in Xuzhou, the land of the four wars, to the south or to the north?" ”

"Xuzhou seems to be only able to go south." Chen Mo looked at the map and said, Xuzhou has no danger to defend, if it goes north, the rear is equivalent to being completely exposed to the surroundings, and it needs to consume a lot of troops to garrison, on the contrary, it will be much easier to go south, there are Taishan Mountains in the rear, and the defensive pressure will be much smaller, of course, it can also go west.

"But ......" Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng: "I haven't thought about it that far, I just want to have a place to have a foundation." ”

"If, according to what you say, the worst outcome is that the world falls apart, if you want to gain a foothold, you need to consider a lot, and the family will help you recommend talents and support money, but before you become powerful, there will be no more help." Chen Deng said seriously: "So this place of foundation cannot be chosen randomly. ”

Chen Mo nodded, frowned at the map, took a pen from the pen holder, thought for a moment, and erased Xuzhou, then Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

"Why did you get rid of Koto?" Chen Deng said curiously.

"The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the family clans are entrenched, although there is a moat separation, but ...... If you have a choice, it's best not to go here. Chen Mo's mind turned quickly, just now Chen Deng said the advantages and disadvantages of Xuzhou, Chen Mo saw that Jiangdong may be able to stay in a corner, but it is difficult to enter, the population is not large, there are many clans, as well as clan thieves and Shanyue.

Shu was then erased by Chen Mo: "The world is not chaotic and Shu is chaotic first, the world has been decided and Shu has not been decided, this place is easy to enter and difficult to exit, the Central Plains is not dangerous, then the rest is Guanzhong, the land of seclusion......"

In the end, Chen Mo suddenly touched his face and smiled: "What does my brother think of the state?" ”

"Although there are clans here, but compared with the rest of the states and counties are much less, the Wang family, the Wei family, if you can find a county, with the ability of the virtuous brother, if the time comes, it is not difficult to find a state, and there is a risk of Shu here, but only need to occupy the east of the river, it is not difficult to get out, but there is only one ......" Chen Deng looked at Chen Mo and said: "Perennial trouble, there is a shortage of grain and grass here." ”

"It is because of scarcity that I chose this place." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Oh? Why? Chen Deng was interested, looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Lack of grain and grass, if I attack the rest of the states and counties, then I can choose the autumn, as long as I capture a place, I can supply on the spot, but if others invade the state, one is full of dangers, it is difficult to fight quickly, and the other is to capture a place, there is no excess grain and grass, can only be transported from the rear, it is not unreasonable for Jin to be able to establish a strong Jin here." Chen Mo smiled.

As for the problem of grain production, if he can really grasp the merger of states, Chen Mo can try the manure method, whether it can also be applied in the merger state, if so, it can be alleviated.

"Besides, this is the worst plan, and the situation may not be as you and I imagined, just in case, my brother should leave Luoyang as soon as possible." Chen Mo said with a smile, until the end, he still wanted to fight hard to stabilize the current situation.

"It's fine." Chen Deng nodded and said, "If Dong Zhuo's abolition is finally successful, my brother has a word to teach you." ”

"Brother, please speak." Chen Mo smiled.

"Then I will assist Dong Zhuo first." Chen Deng said with a smile: "If you can be assisted, it is not a way out, if not, it may be possible for the virtuous brother to obtain the state pastor from Dong Zhuo, but remember that even if you assist Dong Zhuo, you must not oppose the scholars, otherwise you will have the state pastor, and it is difficult to get the support of the scholars, and it is best to be recognized by the scholars under Dong Zhuo." ”

"Room?" For the first time, Chen Mo discovered that his cousin was actually not as gentle and elegant as he looked, and he was very bad in his bones.

"Whether it can be done depends on the ability of the virtuous brother, as long as you do it, you will try to convince as many talents as possible for the brotherhood." Chen Deng smiled: "In addition, in terms of grain and grass, I can also solve some problems for you." ”

"What my brother said is too far away, and Mo just wants to protect himself at this time." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"In addition, if you want to gain Dong Zhuo's trust, then Yun Si and Juan'er had better stay by their side, otherwise how can he trust you?" Chen Deng got up and said: "Those who have achieved great things should not be trapped by the love of their children, besides, although they are in danger, they may not be in danger, and it depends on Brother Mo's ability." ”

"Thank you, brother, for your advice." Chen Mo didn't answer, just hugged his fists.

"It's a pity that you don't have time, otherwise, you should also reach the age of studying and go to see the world, with your talent, you don't necessarily need me to say this." Chen Deng picked up a few rolls of bamboo slips from the bookshelf and said with a smile: "Can you still carve these bamboo slips?" ”

"Naturally, they are all familiar with the chest." Chen Mo nodded, these books on the bookshelf were all carved out by himself.

"If that's the case, can you bring some of the clans?" Chen Deng asked with a smile.

"Brother take it." Chen Mo nodded, books are priceless for those who don't have them, but for some people, of course, they are also precious, but more often, they can be used as gifts.

In the end, Chen Mo still let Yun Si and Juan'er stay, no matter what, there is a home here, no matter who is in power in the future, Chen Mo has the ability to reassure the other party.

Early the next morning, Chen Deng left with Wang Biao and Zheng Tu, Chen Mo went out of the palace to go to the court, but found that overnight, Dong Zhuo had taken control of the palace, and successfully annexed Wei Wei and Yulin Zhonglang General and Hu Ben Zhonglang General, Yuan Shu was promoted to Hou General, and his subordinates were also taken away by Dong Zhuo, and even Yuan Shu was not in the camp at all, Hu Ben Zhonglang General was forcibly ordered by Dong Zhuo to seize his subordinate general Li Su.

Overnight, Dong Zhuo's army increased sharply, not only controlling the palace, but also holding the granaries in Luoyang, so that even Chen Mo, a general who had not been robbed of military power, had to be controlled by Dong Zhuo, including Ding Yuan and Bao Xin, who had just entered Beijing.

"Why should the virtuous brother be worried." Cao Cao patted Chen Mo on the shoulder on the way to the court and said.

"Overnight, the Son of Heaven was righteous, and the troops were all captured by Dong Zhuo, and the younger brother suddenly felt a lot easier." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.

"Why is that?" Cao Cao wondered.

"Because yesterday we still had the strength to fight, today it may not be! There is no need to fight, nature is the best. Chen Mo looked at Yuan Shao in front of him and deliberately said it loudly.

Yuan Shao's face turned black when he heard this, and he continued to walk forward.

"In fact, the DPRK and China have always done things like this, Dong Zhuo disregarded the rules this time, and he was a little caught off guard at first." Cao Cao patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, signaling him not to do this again.

"Everyone, the court is temporarily resting this morning, and Gong Dong invites you to go back to Wenmingyuan." Several guards stepped forward, and the generals led by them bowed to everyone.

"What if we don't go?" Yuan Shao frowned.

This time, Chen Mo didn't step forward, just watched the play.

Rows of armor soldiers appeared on both sides, and the general smiled: "Don't embarrass the last general!" ”

Yuan Shao didn't say anything more, and took the ministers to the direction of Wen Mingyuan.
