Chapter 119: Cai Yong recommends talents
The melodious sound of the piano wandered around, and I didn't see Cai Yan again, and I felt a little disappointed in my heart, but I came to see Cai Yong this time, not for marriage.
"What do you think of this prince's rebellion?" Cai Yong turned the wine buds in his hand and looked at Chen Modao.
"Outsiders say I'm modest and talented." Chen Mo took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "You can fight, you have a strategy, and you know how to advance and retreat." ”
Cai Yong nodded, looking at Chen Mo, he didn't think that Chen Mo had come here to show off.
"Mo has always thought that he can change the general trend, and I am different from those people." Chen Mo put down the wine and said with a smile: "Recently, Mo looked back on the past and found that it was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong, I couldn't change anything, but I chose the right side every time a major event came, or rather, I thought it was the right side, but when I tried to change their minds and say what I thought was the most correct path, I found that it was ......"
"Can't do anything?" Cai Yong's smile also carried a bit of vicissitudes.
"Hmm." The light in Chen Mo's eyes seemed to dim a little: "When I first entered Luoyang, Mo's ambition was to help the Han family, and I thought that the shortcomings of the Han Dynasty had been seen thoroughly, as long as I had a certain right in my hands, I could turn the tide and help the Han to fall into danger; The battle between the eunuchs, the scholars and the generals, silently see very clearly, when the generals and eunuchs clashed, I chose the general, and later the first emperor died, I chose to befriend the first duke, and then later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, I persuaded the first duke to get rid of Dong Zhuo and stabilize the situation when the first duke decided to leave, I defected to Dong Zhuo. ”
"There's nothing wrong with every step." Cai Yong looked at Chen Mo with appreciation, a helpless teenager with little background, it was not easy to choose the right one every time a major event came.
"But it's just a matter of following the trend." Chen Mo sighed, raised his wine and said in a daze: "I want to help the Han family, above the court today, the Son of Heaven crowned me as Guangluxun, commanding the Luoyang Forbidden Army, and leading Henan Yin, Mo is only sixteen or sixteen years old this year, and his position is higher than Jiuqing.
I want to help the Han family, but every time I consciously stand firm and want to turn the situation around, I have failed, and it seems to be getting farther and farther away from the original idea. ”
"The old man doesn't understand either, but the old man is now guarding his bottom line, the old man is different from you, when the old man is confused, he will stop and do nothing, but it is still difficult to change the situation." Cai Yong raised his head, drank all the wine in the mouth, and laughed astringently: "Not only the old man, but Zigan is also like this." ”
"However, there are many things, and someone has to do them after all." Chen Mo shook the wine and said with a smile: "I can't stop being silent, what can I do if I don't forget my original intention, I haven't forgotten, but I can't do anything." ”
Cai Yong sighed, shook his head and said, "This time the princes raised troops to serve the king, have you ever thought about who will win?" ”
"On the battlefield, the princes can't win, Luoyang is guarded by a strong city, the princes have different thoughts, they can't get in, and Dong Zhuo can't afford to go east, but they will get what they want." Chen Mo lost his senses.
As for what the princes wanted, Chen Mo didn't say, and Cai Yong didn't ask.
"Mo will also get what Mo wants." Chen Mo suddenly smiled, he was young, but there was a vicissitudes and helplessness in his smile that he didn't have at this age: "In the end, only Your Majesty will lose." ”
The luck of the Han dynasty is constantly dissipating after the abolition of Dong Zhuo, and the local government has a legitimate reason to refuse to accept the imperial edict, and all localities have begun to support their own troops. According to the Han system, the army possessed by these county guards and assassins was far beyond the upper limit of what they could have.
However, Chen Mo is not qualified to accuse others, because his own military strength is also far beyond his upper limit, even if the princes succeed in defeating Dong Zhuo, it is just another Dong Zhuo, maybe he is more famous, and he can temporarily stabilize the situation, and the Son of Heaven has become a real puppet.
Just as Chen Mo said before, it seems that helping the Han family has really become an unattainable dream, even if Chen Mo himself wants him to immediately put down the excess military power in his hands now, Chen Mo will resist.
Cai Yong glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Your marriage with Yan'er ......"
"After this battle, Mo will bring his mother." Chen Mo smiled.
"You don't seem to be worried about the Kwantung princes intercepting?" Cai Yong raised his eyebrows and said.
"They won't." Chen Mo smiled: "Mo has his own way for them to send their mother to Luoyang respectfully. ”
"Be careful in everything, the old man can not help you much, the old man has a registered disciple, quite talented, can recommend you, but whether he can help you, the old man is not sure." Cai Yong said with a smile.
"Bo Gong disciple, naturally he is a great talent." Chen Mo smiled when he heard this: "But I don't know which family it is?" ”
"It's not a wang family, and there are people in their ancestors, but the family is in the middle of the road, and now it is a poor family, but it has a wide range of friends, if you can get this person, you will be able to help you achieve a great cause!" Cai Yong sighed: "I just don't know if the two of you meet each other, in this world, it is a blessing or a curse." ”
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Dare to ask who it is?" Famous people in the world, Mo has some understanding. ”
"Not a celebrity." Cai Yong shook his head and said: "This person's surname is Guo, his name is Jia, his name is Fengxiao, and he is a person from Yingchuan Yangzhai." ”
Chen Mo shook his head, he hadn't heard of it, but if he could be so respected by Cai Yong, he would like to see this person.
"It is not surprising that you have not heard of this man, who only makes friends with talented people, and does not associate with others, because there are not many people who know." Cai Yong smiled: "This person is a little bohemian by nature, you ......"
"Don't worry, the capable are always a little quirky." Chen Mo smiled, are you arrogant?
"Then why don't you?" Cai Yong said with a smile.
"Mo has tasted the dangers of the world since he was a child, and he has been sending people under the fence all the year round, so he is not qualified." Chen Mo sighed: "Silent about the future, I am also quite confused, and it is difficult for me to be confident." ”
"Idiot, you're just carrying a lot of things that ordinary people don't carry." Cai Yong sighed and said.
"It's not early, and after a lot of trouble, I said goodbye first." Chen Mo got up and said.
Cai Yong nodded, and sent Chen Mo out of the house, looking at Chen Mo's somewhat shaky back, Cai Yong sighed, Xu Zijiang really said that sentence correctly, if this is the rule of Qingping, a person like Chen Mo will definitely be able to be the pillar of the society, but in this world now, how can there be half a point of peace at all?
Heroes of troubled times?
Looking at Chen Mo's distant back, Cai Yong shook his head, this son has a cautious personality, although he has a public heart, but he also has a selfish heart, knows the current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, is not the kind of person who knows that he can't do it, if it is really a troubled time, most of them are a hero, but can he be blamed for this?
Chen Mo walked on the streets of Luoyang with complicated thoughts, and the oncoming evening breeze made him sober up a little, did he say too much just now?
Glancing back at the direction of Cai's mansion, Chen Mo only felt a chill down his spine, and he made a mistake when he drank alcohol, and he would definitely not be able to drink more in the future.
……
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, when he went to the court again, someone sent a battle report from the front, Yuan Shao had arrived at Sour Zao, and set up a camp in Sour Zao, inviting the princes of all parties to meet in Sour Zao.
For a while, the whole court was shocked, and Chen Mo also showed a look of surprise and disbelief, although he had known about this for a long time, but how many of them didn't know about it?
Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Master, what should we do now?" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Dong Zhuo saluted Liu Xie and said: "Luoyang has a male pass to guard the palace, and there are 100,000 male soldiers, why are you afraid of the Kwantung rats?" ”
"How ridiculous is Taishi's words?" One of the people in the hall sneered when he heard this: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu IV, the third duke, Gongsun Zhan guarded Youzhou, and the Karasuma people retreated when they heard their name, such heroes are also called rats?" ”
When Chen Mo heard this, he glanced at the positions of Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji in surprise, taking this kind of thing as an example, is this because these two died not fast enough? Or does someone want them to die?
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't bear the man, but turned his head to look at Yuan Kui and said, "Taifu, did the old man do something wrong?" It's just that others rebelled, why did the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family also do such a rebellious act? ”
Yuan Kui just closed his eyes slightly, as if he hadn't heard it, but Yuan Ji on the side was out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Taishi, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the children of the Yuan family, we don't know about their actions. ”
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two thieves, are the masters of this rebellion, if there is no support from the Yuan family, how can they have today's momentum, and they are ignorant of the old man?" Dong Zhuo said in the end, his voice had become extremely calm.
Lives are over!
Chen Mo looked at the two of them and sighed, the lives of the two of them were being frantically reduced at this moment, and their luck was also disappearing extremely quickly.
"Taishi!" Yuan Ji was anxious, and hurriedly wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by Yuan Kui, looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile and said, "It seems that the Taishi is going to kill me today?" ”
"Forgive me." Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "When the old man didn't want the old man to send troops, Luoyang was occupied from behind, cutting off the old man's way back. ”
"That's right!" Yuan Kui sighed.
"Taishi!" Chen Mo thought for a while, and said: "Ciyang Gong is a famous man in the world, and now that the enemy situation is unknown, the minister thinks that he cannot be killed in vain. ”
When Yuan Kui heard this, he glanced at Chen Mo in some surprise and bowed his head slightly to show his gratitude.
Seeing this, Wang Yun on the side also said: "What Guangluxun said is good, Taishi, kill famous people without permission, I am afraid of losing people's prestige." ”
A number of ministers in the court also came out one after another, wanting to protect Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji.
Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this: "Then Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and the rest of the Yuan family will be imprisoned first, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu really don't know how to advance and retreat, it is not too late to be held accountable." ”
