Chapter 118: Return to Luoyang again
After all, Chen Mo had only left Luoyang for more than two months, but when he came to Luoyang again, he felt different.
The city was still the same city, but the troops patrolling the streets hid, and Chen Mo and his people were stopped outside the city.
"Hedong Taishou, Sili Captain Chen Mo, was ordered to lead the army back to Beijing." Chen Mo sat on horseback and looked at the general in front of him and said, "But I don't know when Du Hu returned to Luoyang?" ”
Niu Fu arched his hand towards Chen Mo and sighed: "General Mo Wei, some time ago, Wu Qiong assassinated Taishi, Taishi has ordered martial law in the whole city, and the general can naturally enter, but these soldiers and horses are ......."
"Understood." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, and turned his head to look at the crowd: "Bao Geng, Yu Sheng, Bai Bi, Han Kai, Yu Fuluo, and others are stationed outside the city with troops, and after I enter the city and see the Son of Heaven, I will make plans, and Dian Wei will follow me." ”
"Whoa!" The four generals were ordered, and each led his troops to push away the scope of the city and prepare to set up camp.
Chen Mo walked side by side with Niu Fu and said: "I heard that Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Teng also participated in this rebellion, how could Du Hu be in Luoyang?" ”
"It's the Taishi who recruited each other, as for Han Sui and Ma Teng, they have secretly accepted the reward of the Taishi and went to conquer the Qiang people. Niu Fu sighed, looked at Chen Mo's distant soldiers and horses, and said, "The general brought all the soldiers and horses?" ”
"The Taishi gave me the right to recruit, I recruited two thousand in the east of the river, and persuaded Yu Fuluo to come to vote, and in the east of the river, there are still two thousand new soldiers stationed in the river. In the northern area, even if the princes want to attack, it is not easy, and they can protect the Pingjin and Mengjin areas from the flanks. Chen Mo said with a smile as he rode into the city.
"I have heard for a long time that General Chen is strategic, and this matter is still thoughtful." Niu Fu nodded, and sighed while walking with Chen Mo: "Unlike those Luoyang scholars, the Taishi treats them well on weekdays, but now the Kwantung traitors have just raised their troops, and they want to assassinate the Taishi, and they really should be killed." ”
"Is the master okay?" Chen Mo asked.
"There were some skin wounds." A flash of anger flashed in Niu Fu's eyes: "If it weren't for Lu Bu at that time, I would have almost let that Wu Qiong succeed." ”
Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to Wu Qiong, Shi Sun Rui, Zhou Se, Zheng Tai and others, Chen Mo was the first to surrender to Dong Zhuo, but later he was also excluded, and these people were deeply valued by Dong Zhuo, in the end, not only persuaded Dong Zhuo to give Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others the identity, but also recommended the state pastor and Taishou at that time, but now they are almost all reversed, Wu Qiong directly assassinated Dong Zhuo, which made these people under Dong Zhuo feel betrayed.
"Then these people ......," Chen Mo looked at Niu Fu and asked.
"Wu Qiong and Zhou Se have been beheaded all over the house!" Niu Fu snorted coldly.
"It's a pity." Chen Mo sighed.
"What do you mean?" Niu Fu frowned and looked at Chen Mo.
"If these people don't kill, they should be able to find out the others, and Wen Xiansheng hasn't stopped this?" Chen Mo didn't care about Niu Fu's suspicious gaze, it's a pity, he dares to guarantee that this matter is inseparable from Wang Yun, killing Wu Qiong and Zhou Se is just killing two small shrimps, and the real mastermind behind the scenes has not yet appeared.
"Wen You suffered from the wind and cold, and he was sick in bed for the past few days, but he was not there at that time." Niu Fu shook his head when he heard this: "His body has always been weak, but General Chen doesn't have to worry, now my Xiliang soldiers are gathered in Luoyang, although there are many rats in Kwantung, but our army has a strong pass to defend, and see who will be defeated in the end?" ”
Chen Mo nodded, and didn't say anything more, now he doesn't know what the situation in Luoyang is, so it's inconvenient to talk nonsense.
Under the leadership of Niu Fu, Chen Mo first went to worship the order of the Son of Heaven, and then went to the Taishi Mansion to meet Dong Zhuo.
"The last general, Chen Mo, see Taishi." Chen Mo bowed to Dong Zhuo, glanced at Lu Bu beside Dong Zhuo, and bowed slightly.
"Alas~" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo with complicated eyes, sighed and said: "At the beginning, the old man thought that the scholars could be wooed, so he put down his posture and befriended them, who would have thought that these people were not only ungrateful, but conspired to harm me, General Chen, you were the first to surrender to the old man, but in the end, the old man was alienated from you and trusted those people, have you ever hated the old man?" ”
"I can understand, after all, if the Taishi wants to stabilize the situation, he must have the support of the corporal of the world, and in the eyes of many people, the last general betrayed the scholar." Chen Mo nodded and said: "If there is no resentment at all, the last general is not a sage, it is impossible, but if the Han family can prosper, personal honor and disgrace are not important." ”
"Good!" Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and smiled: "These things, the old man knows, and General Chen also knows, but it's a pity that this Luoyang scholar doesn't know, how sad." ”
Maybe it's not that I don't know, I just don't want to know, if no one in Luoyang can see it, Chen Mo doesn't believe it, but some people just can't change anything, and some people have the ability to change and can see it, but they are unwilling to change, resulting in today's situation.
"The old man knew that you were very dissatisfied with the death of King Hongnong, but he didn't speak again, and the old man knew that you were discouraged, but this time the court was in trouble, and you were willing to come with all your might, which means that you still have this big man in your heart, I don't know if General Chen has a strategy to break the enemy?" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo and asked.
"It's not difficult to defeat the enemy." Chen Mo nodded and said, "It's not a secret, the family teacher also wrote to the last general, inviting me to discuss the Taishi." ”
Dong Zhuozhi looked at Chen Mo and did not speak.
"But this time the Kwantung coalition may not succeed." Chen Mo smiled.
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo with interest and said, "How can you see it?" ”
"The last general heard that this time the Kwantung coalition army has dozens of towns, and it seems to be huge, but dare to ask the Taishi, among these people, are there any people who have gaps in the past?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Yes." Dong Zhuo replied without thinking.
"If the coalition forces can win all the way, it will naturally be like a bamboo, but if their offensive is blocked, I am afraid it will be difficult to unite together." Chen Mo pondered: "Luoyang has Chenggao Jiancheng, and the princes of Kwantung are coming to attack, who is willing to work hard to make wedding dresses for others?" Chen Mo smiled and asked, "Who will lead the princes?" ”
Dong Zhuo groped his chin and nodded, "What General Chen said is good, continue." ”
"Even if the Taishi side does not make efforts and cannot attack for a long time, there will be chaos inside, if the Taishi uses the name of the Son of Heaven to win over some princes, then this Kwantung coalition army is a joke." Chen Mo arched his hand at Dong Zhuo and said, "If the Taishi is willing, the last general is willing to garrison Xingyang for the Taishi and block the Kwantung Coalition Army." ”
Xingyang is an important place for the current Dong Zhuo, but the location is also quite dangerous, once Chenggao is broken, Xingyang will become a lonely city, as for why Chen Mo chose this place, firstly, it is to win Dong Zhuo's trust in order to seek a higher position, and secondly, he knows that Dong Zhuo cannot let him guard here.
Dong Zhuo nodded, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Chen has just returned from begging for thieves, and he was sent to the battlefield by the old man again, that is, General Chen is dedicated to the country, I am afraid that Bo Zhuogong will also blame me, I heard that you and Cai Weng's daughter have already made a family relationship?" ”
"Exactly, but not yet with my mother's consent." Chen Mo nodded, at this time, his mother was still in Xuzhou, and now that the war is in chaos, it is impossible for him to take his mother to Luoyang.
"Let's go meet Uncle Gong first." Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "As for the marriage, if you are in a hurry, you can complete the marriage first, how about the old man marrying you?" ”
"Marriage is a major event, and the mother still needs to be present." Chen Mo apologized, he was not very urgent about marriage, even if he accepted a concubine, how could he get married without his mother present?
"Well, after this battle is over, you will bring your mother to Luoyang, just to take advantage of your happy event to flush the resentment of the city!" Dong Zhuo nodded, the concept of filial piety first in the Han Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Chen Mo used this to reject Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was not surprised, and thought about it: "As for the reward for your battle in Hedong this time, tomorrow the court will have its own decision." ”
"In this case, if there is nothing important, the last will be the first to leave." Chen Mo got up and arched his hand.
"Feng Xian, you go and send General Chen on behalf of the old man!" Dong Zhuo nodded.
"Whoa!" Hearing this, Lu Bu bowed, and then left the lobby side by side with Chen Mo.
"What are your plans for coming back this time?" Leaving the lobby, Lu Bu looked at Chen Mo and asked.
Because of Chen Mo's guidance, his relationship with the generals of Xiliang is not bad now, and Chen Mo can clearly feel that this person is no longer as arrogant as before.
"Meritorious service, promotion." Chen Mo stretched his muscles and said with a smile: "This rebellion of the princes is just a big show. ”
"You're only sixteen now." Lu Bu shook his head.
"The former champion Hou is my age, and he has traveled thousands of miles and made great achievements." Chen Mo heard this: "I don't want to be like the champion Hou in the world, but I don't want to live a mediocre life, if I can do it again, wouldn't it be happy?" ”
Lu Bu's eyes also flashed with a look of fascination, sealing the wolf Juxu, for a general, it is definitely a fatal temptation.
"By you?" Soon, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Mo and smiled proudly: "Even if there is a day, it should be a certain talent." ”
Chen Mo glanced at him, shook his head, had already come to the gate of the mansion, and saluted Lu Bu: "There are some things that are empty and unfounded, although the general is brave and crowns the three armies, this battle is not a one-person matter. ”
"Wait and see, when this war is over, I will ask the Taishi to send troops." Lu Bu sneered.
"Now the imperial court doesn't have that much money and food to support a northern expedition." Chen Mo was speechless when he heard this: "Do you know how much food it costs to go on a northern expedition?" ”
"There's always a chance." Lu Bu snorted coldly, not wanting to answer this question, the more money and food, the better, but how much is needed...... He really didn't know.
"Don't send it." Chen Mo smiled, didn't say any more, said goodbye to Lu Bu, and went straight back to Zang's Mansion.
Yun Si had already received the news of Chen Mo's return, and had already ordered someone to boil hot water for Chen Mo to catch the wind.
Although the situation is getting worse and worse now, but some things, even if you work hard, you may not be able to do it, since you have a clear conscience, Chen Mo will not be entangled in this, he has not touched a woman for more than two months, this night, there are countless lingering and charming......
