Compared with the gradual stabilization of Guanzhong and the beginning of the restoration of people's livelihood, Cao Cao, who fled back to Xuchang with the Son of Heaven with great difficulty, has been a little hot recently.

Dong Cheng, Liu Fan, Fu Wan and other courtiers finally chose to come to the Son of Heaven, not only because of righteousness, but more importantly, the affairs of Zheng Yun and others made many people feel as if they had a sword hanging on their heads at any time, like a mang's back, trembling all day long, they were worried that one day they would provoke Chen Mo and cause the disaster of annihilation, and they didn't have a good reputation, just look at the people who were picked up by Chen Mo, even if they are dead now, they are still spurned, and the family members who stayed behind dare not see people many times.

A large number of courtiers fled Chang'an and came to defect, which should have been a good thing.

But first, there are not many people like Huangfu Song, Zhao Wen, and Zhong Xuan who can serve as the three dukes and help Cao Cao in fame, and there are only Zhu Jun and Liu Ai, and secondly, although there are a lot of officials, but the official position Cao Cao can't be sealed casually, Chen Mo's side, the three dukes and nine qings are all full, and Chen Mo is in terms of selecting people, each of them is a person of high moral and respect, not to mention that the three dukes can't be recalled and re-elected, even if it is Jiuqing, such as too often Yang Biao, it is not easy to recall, many of them are Cao Cao's elders.

That's pretty cumbersome.

And these people who rushed to defect, Fu Wan is the father-in-law of the country, the father-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and he has to be resettled, Dong Cheng's daughter is also a nobleman, the emperor and the country, Liu Ai is a relative of the Han family, Liu Fan, Ma Yu, Ma Riyan, Chong Shao, these people, who can find official positions, have to give priority to these people, and finally made trouble for a long time, Cao Cao's reorganized court, the three dukes and nine Qings are missing, but there are a bunch of miscellaneous generals, originally Cao Cao was ready to lead the general, but Yuan Shao directly showed signs of mobilizing troops, Cao Cao did not dare to start a war with Yuan Shao at this time, had to give up the position of general to Yuan Shao, and he continued to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou and Guangluxun.

Well, Chen Mo's official, the court will never admit it, Cao Cao secretly scolded Chen Mo for being cunning, if Chen Mo took the position of the third prince by himself, and then divided his subordinates to the position of Jiuqing, Cao Cao didn't have too many concerns, he was directly dismissed, and he was reappointed on his side, but how shrewd Chen Mo was, how could he let Cao Cao get his wish?

"The lord doesn't need to worry about this." Xi Zhicai coughed lightly twice, and smiled at Cao Cao: "If the son is in hand today, although Chen Mo has a lot of constraints, but in the same way, the lord can also issue an edict to those ministers in Guanzhong in the name of the Son of Heaven." ”

Cao Cao thought about it, the ministers of the court and the central government on Chen Mo's side were mostly old ministers of the Han family, Chen Mo did this, although it made Cao Cao's side difficult to get too many benefits, but it also gave Cao Cao the opportunity to reach out to Chen Mo's rule, even if it couldn't cause any harm to Chen Mo, but disgusting and disgusting Chen Mo was not bad.

"Now, that's not what worries about you." Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao and said: "Although the Son of Heaven has been welcomed back, but Chen Mo still maintains the imperial court, obviously has the intention of regaining the Son of Heaven, under the rule of the lord, but now there is no danger to defend, where should the capital be established?" ”

As for the opinion of the Son of Heaven...... It doesn't matter, even if Cao Cao maintains enough respect for the Son of Heaven, but in the matter of Yanzhou, it is Cao Cao who is in charge.

If according to history, Cao Cao took Xu County as the capital, but now it is definitely not possible, Xu County is only a hundred miles away from Chenggao, it is equivalent to sending the Son of Heaven to Chen Mo's mouth, telling Chen Mo that you will take it, right? If you really use it as a new capital, I am afraid that it may directly lead to a war.

"How's Juancheng?" Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, Juancheng is the state rule set by Cao Cao, and on Jiyin's side, there is a long distance from Chenggao, and Chen Mo wants to recapture the Son of Heaven, but it is beyond the reach of the whip.

Xi Zhicai nodded and smiled: "I think it's just right, and it also saves Liu Biao a lot of words." ”

Before Cao Cao entered the customs, he made a covenant with Liu Biao, as long as he recaptured the Son of Heaven, he would place the Son of Heaven in Nanyang, and Cao Cao and Liu Biao shared Nanyang and respected the Son of Heaven.

But Cao Cao took the Son of Heaven to finally cross the Meridian Valley, and when he came out of Zhuyang in disguise as a merchant from Hanzhong, he did not inform Liu Biao, but went all the way through the county and the county, and went directly to the Wuguan area to meet Cao Ren, who was responsible for receiving Cao Cao, leaving an empty camp and running overnight.

The matter of the fixed capital, it is decided, although the Son of Heaven is important, but after getting it in his hands, it is not obvious, Chen Mo is trying to weaken the influence of the Son of Heaven, after Yuan Shao took the position of general, he is also weakening the influence of the Son of Heaven in the open and secretly, at this time, it is definitely not possible to develop to the north, Yuan Shao Cao Cao can't beat it, and it is not realistic to go westward, Chen Mo will operate the iron bucket in the Heluo area, and with the lesson of the last time, it will not be so easy to enter the Guanzhong from Wuguan again.

Cao Cao now urgently needs to prove the influence of the Son of Heaven to the world again, and it can also be said that Cao Cao is ready to help the Son of Heaven establish his authority, and at the same time, it is time to expand his territory.

Yuan Shao can't beat it, Chen Mo can't touch it, Liu Biao is too biased, and now Cao Cao can only choose Huainan Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Tao Qian.

Yuan Shu didn't move for the time being, with Cao Cao's understanding of Yuan Shu, at this time he was probably thinking about how to take revenge on himself, if he sent troops to Yuan Shu, I am afraid that Yuan Shu would immediately unite with Tao Qian to attack him, but if he wanted to deal with Tao Qian, with Yuan Shu's temperament, he might not be able to help Tao Qian, of course, if there was a legitimate reason, it would be better.

For the land of Xuzhou, Cao Cao has also coveted it for a long time, if he can get it, he will have one more place for money and food, and he can also get rid of a future trouble, no longer a situation where enemies are on all sides.

……

After Guanzhong became more and more stable, Chen's mother and Cai Yan, Yun Si, Juan'er and other family members were welcomed into Chang'an by Chen Mo, although Anyi is good, but Chen Mo may rarely live in Anyi for a long time in the future, seeing that the New Year is approaching, Chen Mo will naturally miss his family, and Cai Yong is also coming, Chang'an has more books for Cai Yong to consult, Chen Mo asked people to sort out a lot of books in the palace and send them to Tai College for Cai Yong to check and sort out.

Under Chen Mo's governance, Guanzhong is getting on the right track day by day, Chen Mo is not as busy as he started to be, after his family is rolled over, Chen Mo spends most of his time with his mother, wife, son and dog, and occasionally teaches Dianman and Dian Wei some knowledge.

"Husband, how can you have such a child?" On this day, Cai Yan saw Chen Mo holding Xiao Chen Jin, but he was looking up at the sky, and the spoon in his hand should have been sent to the child's mouth, but it was handed to his head and fell down under Xiao Chen Jin's puzzled gaze.

Cai Yan ran out when he heard the crying, and looked at this scene and hugged the child over to comfort him.

Seeing that his son's head was red, Chen Mo was also a little guilty, and laughed silently, and soon, the mother over there heard the crying here, and also ran over with the sunspot, and followed Cai Yan to scold Chen Mo and drive him out of the courtyard.

Chen Mo was a little helpless and ran out of the house with Dian Wei's father and son.

"Lord, it's almost time for dinner." Dian Wei touched his stomach and kindly reminded that the food in Chen Mo's house was made by the kitchen workers who cooked for the Son of Heaven in the palace in the past, and the taste was ...... Not easy to forget.

"Let's go to the government office and eat dog meat." Chen Mo glanced back at the door of the mansion, hesitated, but still didn't go back, his mother and wife were angry, and they were at fault for this matter, so it was not too late to go back when they were angry.

Dian Wei's father and son's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded frantically.

"Old Classic." Chen Mo looked at the sky as he walked and said, "It doesn't seem to have snowed much this year." ”

"No, no." Dian Wei nodded, there was no snow in Chang'an, he was ordered to go to Feng Yi to find Hua Xiong some time ago, it seems that Hua Xiong also said something similar, Feng Yi didn't snow much this winter.

"Let's go." Chen Mo nodded, didn't say anything, took Dian Wei's father and son, all the way to the government office, Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Xu Shu were preparing to eat in the government office, Chen Mo asked Zheng Tu to get a meat dog to share with everyone.

"Wen You." Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and said, "You go to let people see later, has there been no snow in the counties in this pass this year, how many are there?" ”

"No need to look it up." Li Ru sighed when he heard this and said: "Except for the occasional fine snow in a few counties in Fufeng, Feng Yi, and Beidi this year, there is almost no heavy snow falling, and Jingzhao has not fallen a drop of snow. ”

"I'm afraid next year will be a dry year!" Chen Mo frowned and said, "Make plans as soon as possible." ”

Chen Mo remembered that since the time of the first emperor, the Han Dynasty has not had a good year, but he has just been in Guanzhong, and it is not a good thing to encounter a drought year in the second year.

"Does the lord have a solution?" Li Ru nodded, looked at Chen Modao.

"What can be done? After the thaw, gather people to dig canals and irrigate farmland, and transport Taicang's grain to various counties in advance to prepare for relief and exempt the four counties from taxes. Chen Mo shook his head, this is not a war with troops, natural disasters can only reduce the damage as much as possible, it is not a good thing after all, now Chen Mo only hopes that there will be two rains next year, so that his pressure will be much less.

The immortals didn't seem to care about this, which also made Chen Mo have no luck, so he could only do what he imagined.

"The Lord cares for the people, and it is really a blessing for all the people!" Jia Xu on the side smiled and praised it.

"I'm in this position, I'm doing this, and if I do it well, it's the blessing of all the people, if I don't do it well, then it's useless for me to care about the people." Chen Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Next year's affairs, disaster relief is the mainstay, if our prediction is wrong, it is naturally the best, if the prediction is correct, disaster relief is the first thing, and other things can be put aside." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best!" Everyone hurriedly received the order.

"Eat meat!"
