Yuan Shao and other princes did not arrive in Chenggao, and when Chen Mo and the others arrived in Xingyang, the princes had not even left.

Dong Zhuo has retreated, and early the next morning, Yuan Shao took the princes to Luoyang, as if the two sides had a tacit understanding, there was no communication, but Dong Zhuo left, the princes came, and Luoyang, which had been covered with dust, regained some popularity.

That night, Yuan Shao held a banquet in the former Yuan Mansion to entertain the princes.

"I didn't quite figure it out, but this is a win?" Sitting on the railing in the courtyard, Chen Mo leaned against the stone pillar, looked at the princes who were celebrating one by one, felt extremely ironic, and looked at Cao Cao Dao beside him.

"Sort of, after all, Dong Zhuo was forced to retreat by them, and when he captured Luoyang, he can be regarded as having an explanation for the world." Cao Cao nodded, raised his head and took a sip of wine, saying, "This is probably what they want." ”

"Yes, as soon as Dong Zhuo retreated, to the effect, he fell into place, and everyone can justifiably disrespect the orders of the court and cede the land and claim the king." Chen Mo nodded, although he had expected it, but looking at everyone's faces at the moment, Chen Mo still felt a little disgusted, he didn't win a battle, he won an empty city, and in the end, it was like a big victory.

"It has always been that way." Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly slammed the empty wine buds to the ground: "Brother Wei understands that if you want to help the world, you can only rely on yourself, not these people." ”

Chen Mo nodded, from the day Yuan Shao hung up the seal, he had already seen through this.

"Brother Xian, come and help me!" Cao Cao suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Mo, although Xi Zhicai said that Chen Mo was already difficult to recruit at the moment, but he wanted to give it a try, looking at Chen Mo's eyes, flashing with a scorching light: "You and I join forces, why worry about the world?" ”

Chen Mo shook his head, didn't speak, just poured a glass of wine into his mouth, Cao Cao didn't urge, just looked at Chen Mo quietly, Chen Mo believed that Cao Cao at this moment was absolutely sincere.

"Last year, I was ordered to crusade against Guo Tai...... Chen Mo sighed and said: "I have brought Hedong into my control, although I have been in Luoyang this year, but the people's livelihood in Hedong is under my control, in addition, there are more than 10,000 elites in Hedong, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, I have secretly transported 30,000 households to Hedong, with a total population of about 150,000 people, and now the population has not been fully settled." ”

Chen Mo didn't answer positively, but Cao Cao understood, Chen Mo is now a prince, and he has territory and population, as well as soldiers and horses, so it is impossible to leave with him.

"Then you and I will see you again, maybe on the battlefield?" Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Chen Modao.

"If the general trend is divided today, and the princes are rising, this is not accurate." Chen Mo shook his head: "Brother, will you blame me?" ”

"No, in fact, someone has already told me that Brother Xian will not go with me." Cao Cao shook his head, looked at Chen Mo and said, "It's a pity." ”

Chen Mo nodded, it was indeed a pity, he actually asked Cao Cao to help him, but now that Cao Cao opened his mouth first, Chen Mo couldn't speak, so he could only nod: "The road ahead is long, brother cherishes." ”

"If one day, you are defeated, your family, I will support you." Cao Cao looked at the wine buds on the ground, and directly brought the wine jar to Chen Mo and smiled.

"If my brother is defeated, let Ang'er come to me, and I will not call the Cao family the queen!" Chen Mo threw away the wine buds in his hand, picked up the wine jar and touched Cao Cao, the two laughed loudly, and each raised his head and drank wildly.

didn't speak again, just poured one mouthful, Chen Mo didn't remember how much he drank, and in the end the two of them drank unconscious, this was probably the most enjoyable drink in Chen Mo's life, and it was also the most drunk, until noon the next day, Chen Mo woke up and was carried to Zang's mansion.

Cao Cao had already been picked up, Chen Mo went out of the yard, took the wet wipes handed by Dian Wei and wiped his face, in the courtyard, Zang Hong and Zhang Chao were playing against each other, Chen Mo drank a few sips of soup and stepped forward to salute.

"In the past few years, it seems that Mo'er has become much more sensible." Zang Hong turned his head, looked at Chen Mo, reached out and touched his head, just as he was in Dangli back then.

Somehow, the corners of Chen Mo's eyes were a little sour, and he raised his head and said, "Teacher, is life always like this?" ”

"Seven or eight out of ten." Zang Hong nodded: "Of course, you can also follow my example, put aside everything, and only pursue what you want, everything else, honor and disgrace, status and even ...... Lives and families can be thrown away. ”

"The disciple can't do it." Chen Mo was silent for a long time, then sighed.

"It's just right, accompany your Uncle Meng Gao to play a game, and see how Mo'er's chess skills are for the teacher?" Zang Hong said with a smile.

"Offended!" Chen Mo was not polite, he was not too familiar with Zhang Chao, but depending on the face of his teacher, the etiquette must be thorough.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chao looked at Chen Mo in amazement, this hasn't happened yet, how can he be offended? looked at Chen Mo and said, "It's not a good thing that young people are too sharp. ”

Chen Mo didn't say anything, just bowed his head slightly, showing the style of a gentleman, but the son was neat, but it was fifty sons, Zhang Chao sighed, and the loser admitted defeat.

"Do you regret it?" Zang Hong looked at Zhang Chao and said with a smile, Zhang Chao and Zang Hong had the opportunity to recognize this disciple back then, but Zhang Chao had a lot of concerns at that time and didn't admit it, but Zang Hong accepted Chen Mo as a disciple as he pleased, and now it seems that Chen Mo obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

Zhang Chao smiled bitterly and nodded, he did regret it a little, he knew why Chen Mo had offended before he started, and the two sides were not at the same level at all.

"But it's not a good thing to be sharp!" Zhang Chao can only complain that this junior doesn't give himself face.

"In the past few days, I have been depressed and angry, and my behavior has been arrogant, and I hope that you will not be surprised!" Chen Mo saluted.

What else can Zhang Chao say, he can't say it when he is a gas bag, this kid ...... The only thing that remains unchanged is the same as the anger of the past, even worse than back then.

"I know you're uncomfortable, and this game of chess can also allow you to vent some." Zang Hong smiled: "This world is like chess, if you can't control the situation, you can only be like Meng Gao." ”

"Ziyuan, why don't you go with him?" Zhang Chao was not angry.

"What are your plans for the future? Do you want to go back to Xuzhou with me? Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and said.

"With General Chen's ability, if I want to go back to Xuzhou, I can go to the table and let Guangling defend it." Zhang Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, Chen Mo's ability has been known to the world in the past two years, if he can return to Xuzhou, he will definitely be a big help for himself.

"The disciple has established a foundation in Hedong, and after this farewell, the disciple is ready to go to the court and invite the land to the east of the river." Chen Mo bowed and said.

Zang Ba nodded when he heard this, this is Chen Mo's choice, although he is his own disciple, but for Chen Mo's choice, Zang Hong will not interfere.

"It's okay, with what you can do now, there are not many teachers who can teach you." Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo, his appearance has not changed much, but in terms of temperament, it is very different from three years ago, now Chen Mo has his own way, Zang Hong can't interfere more, thought about it and said: "Just don't forget your heart." ”

Heart?

Chen Mo nodded, but he was a little dazed in his heart, what was his true intention?

When I was young, I just wanted to make my family better, a few acres of land, and I had no regrets when I grew up to be a wealthy family, and then the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke these ideas of my own, I just wanted to survive at that time, and I took my mother to survive together, and then worshiped Zang Hong as a teacher, read and study, and did not worry about food and clothing, but I wanted to do something for the world, and then entered Luoyang, did a lot of things, and my mentality was changing step by step, what is my heart?

Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong, he seemed to have forgotten......

"This shouldn't be what you're supposed to think about at your age." Looking at the disciple's rare blank expression, Zang Hong was a little sad: "You have to ask yourself." ”

"It's hard to find." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Many people have never been able to find it again in their lifetime, and I hope Mo'er can." Zang Hong said with a smile.

"Then the teacher found it?" Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong.

"I don't know, I seem to have found it, but I don't seem to have found it." Zang Hong shook his head.

"It seems difficult." Chen Mo sighed and said.

"It's hard." Zang Hong nodded and glanced at Zhang Chao on the side.

"Don't look at me, teach your disciples!" Zhang Chao was a little flustered by Zang Hong's staring.

"When are you ready to go?" Zang Hong asked.

"These two days." Chen Mo said: "Before leaving, there are two things I want to ask the teacher for help. ”

"Oh?" Zang Hong nodded and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"First, the disciple asks the teacher to give the word." Chen Mo said solemnly.

According to etiquette, men and crowns, women and Lu will be taken by the elders, but now Chen Mo is also a prince, not suitable for common sense, Cai Yong once wanted to give Chen Mo words, but Chen Mo refused, his own words can only be taken by a teacher, which has nothing to do with status.

Zang Hong nodded when he heard this: "That's right, with your status today, you should indeed have a watch." ”

Speaking, pacing back and forth, after thinking for a while, Zang Hong smiled and said: "Mo'er was born in Chu, Chu has a cloud, three years of silent thinking about the Tao, then the Tao is the word, you are the eldest son in the family, how about the name Bodao?" ”

Bo Dau ...... Chen Bodao?

Chen Mo bowed and said, "Thank you." ”

After Zang Hong officially accepted Chen Mo's salute, he helped Chen Mo up and said, "As a teacher, I also hope that you can find your own way." ”

"The disciple will not forget the teachings of the teacher!" Chen Mo said solemnly.

"What is the second thing that Bo Dao has not yet said?" Zang Hong said with a smile.

"Last year, Bo Gong once talked to his disciple about the marriage with the daughter of Bo Gong, his mother has agreed, and the disciple has entrusted someone to go to Xiapi to pick up his mother to come to Hedong, after the disciple returns to Hedong this time, he will prepare to discuss the wedding with Bo Gong and set a wedding date, the disciple has lost his father since he was a child, and he dares to ask the teacher to temporarily go to Hedong with his disciple to marry the disciple." Chen Mo bowed and said.

"Then I'm afraid Brother Meng will have to go back to Guangling by himself this time." Zang Hong happily agreed, his proud disciple got married, how could he be absent?

Zhang Chao took a sip of wine and smacked his lips: "Cai Weng's daughter, Bodao is a blessing." ”

"Thank you!" Chen Mo bowed and said.

After this matter was decided, Chen Mo was much more relaxed, probably because this parting would be postponed for a long time, and his mood became inexplicably happy.
