Since Zang Hong returned to Chang'an, his mental state has not been very good.

As for the reason, maybe it's because of Zhang Chao, maybe it's Chen Mo's letter, even if he is reunited with his family, it doesn't make him feel better, he is accompanied by wine all day long, living between drunken dreams and death.

Chen Mo would come almost every day, and occasionally accompany Zang Hong to drink a few things, but he rarely opened his mouth to persuade anything, and some things had to come out by himself.

Today is the same, after Chen Mo came to Zang Hong's mansion, he didn't talk much, just accompanied Zang Hong to drink.

"Something?" After drinking for a long time, Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo's appearance and was a little bored.

"I wanted to ask the teacher for help, but when I saw the teacher's appearance, I still forgot it." Chen Mo nodded, then shook his head and sighed.

"Hey~ Bo Dao is good at calculating people's hearts, you say this, you are sure that I will help you." Zang Hong laughed.

"The teacher will definitely help me, but this time the matter is very important, how can the disciple rest assured that the teacher is like this?" Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"Wine ...... You can skip it. Zang Hong shook his head and said: "I know, Bodao helped me control people's words, and no one will accuse me of Dongjun's affairs, and even many people praise me as a righteous person." ”

"There is nothing wrong with this, if it is placed in the Spring and Autumn Period, what the teacher does can be a righteous man." Chen Mo nodded and affirmed.

"If it were not for your letter, I would have thought so, righteousness is no size, and following the righteousness of the heart is the great righteousness." Zang Hong nodded: "But with my own righteousness, I know that I will die, but I want others to die with me, is it righteous?" ”

"The teacher did not force anyone, so how can he know that the teacher's righteousness is not the righteousness of others?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.

Zang Hong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Mo and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You, you have been good at arguing since you were a child, this truth comes out of your mouth, both positive and negative seem to make sense." ”

Chen Mo coughed lightly and said, "The teacher is serious, but the disciple is just telling the truth." ”

"That's the most terrible thing, everything you say is the truth, but the meaning is the opposite." Zang Hong sighed and said: "I'd rather be stupid than question your words, so I can feel more at ease." ”

"Yes, there is naturally a way to control the remarks of others, but the hurdle in my heart should not be passed, which shows that the teacher is still a righteous gentleman." Chen Mo smiled and filled himself with a smile: "A gentleman can have a clear conscience." ”

"But I have a guilty conscience." Zang Hong shook his head and said, "Bodao, if you were Yuan Shao, would you send troops at that time?" ”

"No, it won't." Chen Mo naturally shook his head: "It's not to that point, write a letter to Meng De, ask for favors, just like saving the teacher this time, forgive the disciple bluntly, Zhang Chao is not that important, Meng De only needs to kill Zhang Miao, it is not difficult to ask for a Zhang Chao, I am good, Yuan Shao, you can come." ”

Zhang Chao is not a character regardless of his ability or ability, don't look at Zang Hong as his former official, but look at Zang Hong after leaving Guangling, Zang Hong is the history of Qingzhou's assassination, making Qingzhou Dazhi, and being the Taishou of Dongjun, which can also benefit one party, and Zhang Chao, in addition to conspiring with Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others to rebel, was also cleaned up by others, how can there be any bright things to remember? Even if it was a rebellion, it was headed by Liu Bei, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, and the eye-catching one was Cao Cao, and Zhang Chao was just an attached name.

The intersection of Chen Mo and Zhang Chao, that is, when he was in Quyang, it was also a turning point in his life, when Zhang Chao wanted to accept Chen Mo as a disciple, Zang Hong would probably not fight, but unfortunately, Zhang Chao was worried about the affairs of the Chen family, and he didn't think Chen Mo was anything peculiar, so Chen Mo and Zhang Chao were just acquaintances, at most because of the teacher, they were acquaintances, but if Zang Hong didn't open his mouth, he wanted Chen Mo to ask Cao Cao for favors, Chen Mo wouldn't do it.

Because of what Zhang Chao and these people did, Chen Mo was a little disgusted.

Zang Hong nodded, didn't say anything more, and looked up again.

Chen Mo groped for the wine and said: "The teacher's heart is difficult, Mo can't help, if you want to say the big truth, anyone can say that the matter has passed, people should look forward, but the disciple knows that these big truths are easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, so these things, can only be figured out by the teacher himself, if the teacher has an accident, the master and the little brother, of course I will take care of it, but the teacher knows that I lost my father since I was a child, for the disciple, the loss of my father at an early age is a regret that is difficult to make up for in this life." ”

"Originally, I was going to die in Dongjun, but now that I haven't died, I won't die easily, so Bo Dao can rest assured." Zang Hong shook his head and smiled: "Say it, what's the matter." ”

"The position of Xiliang Thorn History, the disciple hopes that the teacher can take it." Chen Mo arched his hand.

"You're going to do something to Ma Teng Hansui?" Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and said.

"I know that I can't hide it from the teacher." Chen Mo nodded, and did not hide it: "Now that the land of Bingzhou and Sanfu has been restored to order, not to mention Daxing, but there is also the appearance of restoring prosperity, there are Chenggao, Yique, Jiguan, Huguan, and Yanmen in the east, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are difficult to attack even if they want to, only Xiliang, there is no danger to defend, if he encounters a war in the future, the rear is easy to be unstable, therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui must be eliminated first!" ”

"That's true." Zang Hong nodded, Chen Mo could have today's achievements, which he didn't expect.

"But in the land of Xiliang, the Qiang and Han people live together, the prestige of the imperial court in Xiliang is insufficient, and there are Ma Teng and Han Sui, ordinary people are probably incompetent to serve as the history of Xiliang Thorn, and there are many talents in a county around the disciples, but if it is said that people who can deter one side, the only one who can be found now is the teacher." Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong.

"That's fine." Zang Hong nodded: "As a teacher, I will go to Xiliang for you." ”

"Thank you, Master." Chen Mo was overjoyed and bowed.

"It's rare, like today, only Bodao will use me, a virtuous person." Zang Hong shook his head and sighed.

"If the teacher is not virtuous, how many people in the world dare to call him virtuous?" Chen Mo shook his head indifferently when he heard this: "Teacher, in the matter of Dongjun, the teacher may be at fault, but who in this world dares to say that he is not wrong in his life?" If you use people in this way, you can't pick out how much, and second, virtue can be created. ”

Thinking of Chen Mo's means of controlling people's words, although Zang Hong disagreed, he had to admit that he didn't know when it started, and this virtue had lost its original feeling.

"Therefore, it is better to use people based on talent, after all, virtue can be faked, but it will not!" Chen Mo smiled.

Zang Hong knew that a long time ago, Chen Mo had such a concept, after all, Chen Mo can be said to have climbed step by step from the white body of cloth to his current position, and he has seen too many things. Therefore, Chen Mo's concept of employing people is also a little deviant, but I have to say that looking back at this time, what Chen Mo said may not be wrong.

"When will you go?" Since Zang Hong has decided to become a leader, he will naturally not procrastinate.

"The sooner the better, the disciple will design to let Ma Teng and Han Sui fight, but whether it can be done, whether the two will turn against each other, this is not sure, the teacher also needs to be careful in Xiliang, the disciple can't give the teacher too many soldiers and horses, so as not to alert the two." Chen Mo bowed and said.

"According to the establishment of the Assassin's Mansion, I can have a school of people here, and there are only two thousand people with five complete departments." Zang Hong nodded, he did the history of Qingzhou Thorn, the current Thorn History is different from before, there are some rights, but above the military power, the restrictions are very tight, this school of soldiers and horses, most of the time there are only five or six hundred people, when Zang Hong served as the Qingzhou Thorn History, there were only seven hundred people under his command, and the Qingzhou military power was in the hands of Yuan Tan.

"Soldiers are on horses, disciples can only give the teacher 800, but they are all elite soldiers, and his general Gao Shun is also a fierce general under the command of his disciples, these 800 people are all elites trained by him, although they are only 800, they can attack everything!" Chen Mo said in a deep voice, this time for Xiliang, Chen Mo is determined to win, not only invited Zang Hong to serve as the assassin of Xiliang, but also equipped Zang Hong with generals who have experienced a hundred battles like Gao Shun, under Chen Mo's command, fighting on the scale of thousands of people, no one is Gao Shun's opponent, including Chen Mo.

Zang Hong nodded, at this point, he was not worried that Chen Mo would treat him badly, Gao Shun was one of the most relied on generals under Chen Mo, Zang Hong was naturally clear, this was also a good general.

"In addition, there is also a person who can be a teacher's guard, don't look at the age and the same as the disciple, but his natural divine power, martial arts in the army are few people can match." Chen Mo smiled.

Dian Man has been with Chen Mo and Dian Wei for two years, practicing martial arts every day, Chen Mo is watching Dian Man become stronger little by little, martial arts are definitely not as good as Dian Wei, but what is missing is only the training on the battlefield, this time Dian Man will be sent to Zang Hong's side, but also hope that Dian Man can get some experience, and become a fierce general under Chen Mo who can fight well in the future, and he can only be a guard commander like Dian Wei.

After all, Dian Wei has actually been stereotyped at this age, and there is no other use except for a terrifying martial art, but Dian Man has more possibilities.

Of course, I also hope that Zang Hong can help Chen Mo with his training.

Zang Hong nodded and said, "In that case, I'll clean up, if General Gao Shun is ready, I can set off tomorrow." ”

"Teachers don't have to be in such a hurry!" Chen Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The teacher has a day off today, and I hope that the teacher will come to the government office tomorrow, there are still some details to discuss about Xiliang." ”

Although Xiliang is vast and sparsely populated, but it is more complicated, not only Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two warlords are constantly intruding, the bigger problem is the problem of the Qiang people, Chen Mo has integrated five thousand tribes, it seems to be quite smooth at present, the living habits of these Qiang people are similar to those of the Han people, and now they have established townships, established household registration, and have not been excluded too much by the law of the Han people, and the annual tax payment is also sufficient. Except for words and some living customs, everything else is fine, so Chen Mo also has the idea of further increasing integration, and these ideas have not had time to discuss with Zang Hong.

"It's okay, I won't drink as a teacher tomorrow."
