As soon as Chen Mo left, Yuan Shu's side immediately launched an attack on Yique Pass, but what made Yuan Shu a little embarrassed was that even without Chen Mo, this Huaxiong was also a general, and he still defended the city without leaking, and attacked for several days in a row, but there was no gain, which made him feel gloomy.

"Although Chen Mo is gone, this Yique Pass is a strong city, and it is difficult to break through in a hurry." Yang Hong comforted: "The lord may not have discovered that in the recent days of attacking the city, our army has suffered many fewer casualties than in the past. ”

"But what's the point if you can't beat it?" Yuan Shu said a little depressed, if he can't capture Yique Pass, no matter how few casualties there are, then he will still suffer a loss.

At this time, Yuan Shu missed Sun Jian a little, if Sun Jian was there, he should be able to break through the Yique Pass, and couldn't help but sigh: "If Wentai is still there, why worry about the Yique Pass?" ”

The generals were a little ashamed and resentful when they heard this, but there was no way for the living to be more serious with the dead.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Yang Hong hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord, Hua Xiong is just a brave man, not as versatile as Chen Mo, plus now in Yique Pass, although they are all Xiliang Army, but Li Xian and Zhao Cen are probably not of the same heart as Hua Xiong, it seems that there are more soldiers and horses, but in fact, it is no longer the general unity of Chen Mo when he was in Yique Pass, but now our army is too tight, so we can temporarily work together to resist the enemy, since it is difficult to win quickly at the moment, why not temporarily retreat to Yangrenju, and then focus on the remaining four passes to attack the fortifications, so that its reinforcements are exhausted, In this way, it may lead to internal contradictions in Yiqueguan. ”

Yuan Shu nodded when he heard this, this idea seemed to be good, he nodded and agreed at the moment, and ordered people to temporarily withdraw the camp and retreat to Yangrenju, mainly attacking the four passes of Dagu, Xuanyuan, Lu Hun, and Revolving Gate, so that the Xiliang army who were responsible for galloping to the four passes was exhausted.

……

July, Luoyang.

It has been half a month since Chen Mo was recalled to Luoyang, it is already the assembly of late summer and early autumn, the scorching heat in the air has not yet receded, the empty Luoyang City is like an object that has been placed for a long time is full of dust, and the bluestone pavement is almost invisible to the material that is running.

The matter of migration has come to an end, but since Chen Mo was transferred to Yique Pass, the matter of relocation has been taken care of by others, and now it is recalled to Luoyang, although he was named the right general, but Cheng Gao's war Lu Bu and Xu Rong have beaten the coalition army to the ground, where do you need Chen Mo to help.

The Son of Heaven was also sent to Chang'an, and now even the Luoyang Palace is empty, Dong Zhuo's original intention was to burn down the palace, even if he retreated to Guanzhong in the Western Liang Army, this Luoyang could not be left to the princes.

After Chen Mo got the news, he strongly persuaded Dong Zhuo, telling the facts and reasoning, in the future, the princes will be tired and will always be killed, if the ancient capital of Luoyang is burned, it will have to be built and built at that time, which is definitely not a good thing.

After all, it was to persuade Dong Zhuo not to burn Luoyang, but Rao was so, looking at the dusty Luoyang City now, Chen Mo was not quite a taste in his heart, this city that carried many of his memories, the capital of the Han Dynasty, after only two years, it had become like this, the prosperity of the past was still in front of him, but after the prosperity fell, it was such a withered appearance.

In the past, the Chun Nuan Pavilion was full of celebrities and scholars, and the Chun Nuan Pavilion was already covered with cobwebs, but now Luoyang City, there is really only the army left, in addition to a group of necessary officials, the Son of Heaven and the courtiers have all been sent to Chang'an, and it is only a matter of time before Dong Zhuo retreats.

"Lord, then Dong Zhuo recalled us, but let us be responsible for inspecting the palace, and now there is not even a eunuch in this palace, what's the point of patrolling?" Outside the palace, looking at the open palace door, Dian Wei asked with some indignation.

"This recall is to cut my military power, you don't really think that it will let us go to Chenggao, right?" Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, he didn't care about it, the news that came back from Manzhong, this year is a bumper year, especially the fields where Chen Mo applied new manure this year, the grain yield is thirty percent higher than in previous years, and many people have begun to inquire about the preparation of manure.

As long as there are no natural and man-made disasters in the coming year, a bumper harvest in Hedong is predictable.

The newly joined people also began to distribute to the families in various cities, and the Wei family donated 300,000 mu of thin fields, plus the fields that originally belonged to Chen Mo, and the more than 30,000 households that were distributed from this area of Luoyang have basically settled.

With an additional population of nearly 200,000, this is the capital of the future, and now that he has the right to open the government, he can justifiably recruit talents, and now for Chen Mo, it is better not to send himself to Chenggao, he has already fought with Yuan Shu, if he beats the princes again, it will not be too easy in the future.

Wang Yun spoke for himself before, although it was actually to make Dong Zhuo suspect himself, but the result was good, at least these scholars who are still in Luoyang now have a good attitude towards Chen Mo, even if it is fake, just take this opportunity to confirm this fake name.

"What's this called?" Dian Wei was a little upset about Chen Moming, who had obviously made meritorious deeds, but in the end he was taken off by others.

"Good thing." Chen Mo asked people to open the palace gate, since they were going to inspect the palace, they still had to do what they should do, anyway, it was fine, it was good to go to the palace for a walk.

"What's that good thing about?" Dian Wei said depressedly.

"At least now, I can give you a justifiable promotion." Chen Mo said with a smile as he walked.

"Lord, why don't we go back to Hedong now." Dian Wei looked at the empty palaces around him, and was a little panicked: "What's the use of staying in Luoyang and guarding such an empty courtyard?" ”

"What empty yard?" Chen Mo glared at him and said, "This is the Imperial Palace." ”

"There is no one, that is, a larger yard." Dian Wei didn't care.

To put it this way...... That's right, isn't the emperor's courtyard bigger than ordinary people's?

A group of people walked in the palace, the palace city that was heavily guarded in the past, but now they can see it at will, this son of heaven is the supreme in the world, but now it seems that this rise and fall, sitting in that seat, is not necessarily a good thing.

Chen Mo took Dian Wei into the Jiade Palace, in the past, Chen Mo had only been to the place where hundreds of officials were meeting, but now that he looks at it again, he has long since lost the solemnity of the past, and some are just an indescribable decay.

"You say, throughout the ages, how many people have killed each other for this position, and brothers have turned against each other." Kneeling on the seat belonging to the Son of Heaven, sitting here, being able to overlook the entire Jiade Hall, Chen Mo straightened his waist.

"Who knows, the lord is sitting here, I feel more like the emperor." Dian Wei grinned, he couldn't even tell the difference between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and he expected him to say that these things were blind.

"Don't lie!" Chen Mo frowned and looked around, his voice echoing in the hall, touching the table.

"In this world, who really cares about the Son of Heaven?" Dian Wei said disdainfully.

"But you can't say this, let people hear it, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to get out of Luoyang." Chen Mo glared at him and said, "Your mouth, sooner or later you will get into trouble." ”

"That's not it." Dian Wei said sullenly.

"Okay, let everyone scatter and clean up in the palace, you come with me." Chen Mo got up and said.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei agreed, went out and told everyone to inspect the palace, while Chen Mo took Dian Wei to wander around the palace while looking at his luck.

Since returning to Luoyang, his luck has returned to calm, and his life has also improved, but General You's promotion to himself does not seem to be much.

"Huh~" was walking, Chen Mo suddenly found that his luck began to increase, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Lord, what happened?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

Shaking his head, Chen Mo didn't say anything, just walked in one direction with Dian Wei, his luck almost climbed to the peak, but he just had a thought.

What other opportunities are there in this palace?

Under Dian Wei's puzzled gaze, Chen Mo took him all the way to stop and stop, until he reached Yong'an Palace before stopping to investigate around.

"What is the lord looking for?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

Chen Mo shook his head, he didn't know what he was looking for, he just wandered around by feeling, until he came to a well, Chen Mo felt a little hot at the center of his eyebrows.

But the wellhead in front of me is unremarkable.

Chen Mo frowned and looked at the wellhead in front of him, Dian Wei followed Chen Mo blankly, not knowing what Chen Mo was going to do?

"Do you smell anything?" Chen Mo stood at the mouth of the well, looked down, it was black, he couldn't see anything, the smell that permeated the wellhead was a little pungent, Chen Mo frowned.

"The smell of rancidity, it's normal to have this smell in a dead well." Dian Wei leaned in and sniffed it, frowning.

"That's not right." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It seems to be a corpse, there is a corpse at the bottom of the well, pull it up." ”

"Huh?" Dian Wei's eyes widened.

"Why don't I come?" Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves and asked.

"I'll come." Dian Wei stepped forward speechlessly, shook the winch, frowned, and said, "Lord, there is indeed something, this weight is wrong." ”

"Slow down!" Chen Mo nodded and said to Dian Wei.

Soon, the bucket at the bottom of the well was pulled up, and there was a corpse hanging on it, it seemed that it was a palace maid, the skin and flesh had been thrown away, and the maggots were crawling on the body, a little disgusting, and it had long been impossible to see its true face.

There was a package hanging from his waist, not big, but quite weighty.

Chen Mo and Dian Wei carried the corpse down, took off the package and opened it, and a jade seal appeared in front of the two of them, the whole body was crystal clear, but a corner was missing, and it was filled with gold ingots.

Chen Mo stretched out his hand to take out the jade seal, and below the jade seal, there was an order from the sky, and there were eight characters of longevity and Yongchang.

Call~

Chen Mo put down the jade seal, thought about it, took out a silk cloth from his arms and wrapped it, and then solemnly put it into his arms.

"My lord, what is this?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"Sheji's heavyweight!" Chen Mo took a deep breath, looked at Dian Wei and said, "Today's matter must not be mentioned to anyone. ”

"Whoa!" Dian Wei nodded, and pointed to the female corpse again: "Then this corpse ......"

"Put it back in the well......" Chen Mo was a little apologetic, this woman has meritorious service to Sheji, but this matter is too big to make a move: "Remember here, when the time comes, I will personally handle the aftermath for her." ”

"Doesn't have to?" Dian Wei threw the woman's body back into the well, and said, so far he still hasn't figured out what the social heavy weapon is.

"This woman has meritorious service to the community." Chen Mo just said simply, threw the bucket back into the well and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Oh~"
