Luoyang, Taishifu.

"Although the princes have many soldiers, they are a rabble after all, and there is nothing to be afraid of." Dong Zhuo feasted hundreds of officials today, the day before yesterday came a war report, Xu Rong and Lu Bu joined forces to break the alliance of the princes, under the pursuit of Lu Bu, Yuan Shao almost jumped into the river, fortunately Gongsun Zan arrived in time, led his white horse Yicong and Lu Bu in a fierce battle, saved Yuan Shao.

Although he failed to kill Yuan Shao, but the coalition army had not completely crossed the river, he was beaten by the Xiliang army, and Yuan Shao, as the actual leader of the alliance, was almost killed in the chaos, which was definitely a big victory, therefore, Dong Zhuo invited a banquet for hundreds of officials in the Taishi Mansion, first, to celebrate, and secondly, to deter those civil and military officials with different thoughts.

For the ministers of civil and military affairs who are full of anticipation for the Kwantung princes to enter Luoyang, this is really not good news, first Chen Mo and Huaxiong in the south defeated Yuan Shu in Yangren, and then quickly retreated to Yique Pass, Yuan Shu's 50,000 army Chen Bing Pass was unable to advance an inch, followed by Lu Bu and Xu Rong Bar Yuan Shao's army was embarrassed, for a while, the entire hall, except for Dong Zhuo's people, everyone turned black, as if shrouded in a layer of clouds.

Dong Zhuo didn't seem to realize it, just drank with the generals, and the good news from the front line one after another, for the Xiliang generals, it was indeed inspiring, and now Yuan Shu was beaten and did not dare to advance an inch, and Yuan Shao's side was beaten and lost his armor, if this battle can be won, even if Dong Zhuo retreats to Chang'an, but there is not much left of the princes' faces.

"Situ Gong, what should I do for the sake of today?" Zheng Tai leaned over to Wang Yun and asked in a low voice.

"The coalition army cannot be defeated, otherwise the world will succumb to the coercion of Dong thieves, and it will be difficult for us and other scholars to come out again." Wang Yun glanced in Dong Zhuo's direction and said in a low voice: "Yique Pass and Chenggao, try to break through one." ”

"Cheng Gao has an army of 30,000, so Xu Rong is Dong Zhuo's confidant, as for Lu Bu...... Dong Zhuo treats him very well, as for Yique Pass, Chen Mo ...... this person, "Zheng Tai has a headache, he knew that today, he shouldn't have been so ruthless when he attacked Chen Mo at that time, so that now it is difficult for them to win over Chen Mo."

"Although Xu Rong and Lu Bu are temporarily difficult to move, Chen Mo may not be impossible." Wang Yun thought for a while and smiled.

"I've waited a few times for him to calculate, and I'm afraid he won't wait for me." Zheng Tai is embarrassed.

"There is no need to ask him." Wang Yun looked in Dong Zhuo's direction and said with a smile: "Chen Mo's consecutive victories have greatly boosted the morale of the Xiliang Army, but he is not from the Xiliang Army after all, and the generals of Xiliang may not obey him, don't forget, then Li Xian has gone to Yique Pass now, I think it won't be long before Li Dao will join Chen Mo......"

Zheng Tai suddenly nodded and said, "It's indeed a clever plan, Situ Gong said, I'll help that Li Dao when the time comes?" ”

"No, let's help Chen Mo." Wang Yun shook his head and said: "If we help Li Dao, Dong Zhuo will not be suspicious of Chen Mo, but if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty help Chen Mo, Dong Zhuo will definitely be suspicious, and he will definitely transfer Chen Mo back. ”

"I see." Zheng Tai smiled and nodded.

"In addition, it is necessary for people to secretly open their eyes for Chen Mo, saying that he endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, and his heart is in the big man!" Wang Yun smiled and said, "But remember, don't let outsiders know." ”

Zheng Tai knew that no matter how much they emphasized that they would not let outsiders know, there was no impermeable wall in this world, and the news obtained in this way would make it easier for Dong Zhuo to convince Dong Zhuo that even if they couldn't do Chen Mo, they could also make Dong Zhuo no longer feel at ease to use Chen Mo.

"Situ, what are you talking about with Zheng Shilang?" Dong Zhuo suddenly looked at Wang Yun's side and said with a smile: "Why don't you say it, Old Man Yu will also hear it?" ”

Wang Yun smiled and saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "Taishi, although the battle between Cheng Gao and Gongye is very happy, but in the battle of Yique Pass, Chen Mo was outnumbered and made Yuan Shu defeated several times, should he also be rewarded?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dong Zhuo patted the table and said with a smile: "Although Chen Mo is young, he is both civil and military, this time he fought with Yuan Shu, if it weren't for that Hu Zhen who didn't listen to military orders, it would be a big victory!" It's the reward. ”

Beside Dong Zhuo, Li Dao suddenly frowned and looked at Wang Yun and said: "The last general heard earlier that Situ Gong and General Chen were not on good terms, and it was a little surprising that Situ Gong pursued General Chen like this today. ”

"General Li's words are serious, the old minister and General Chen are not in political harmony, but they are all for my Han in their hearts, and now Chen Mo's big victory is my big Han victory, and the old minister said this out of a public heart." Wang Yun smiled.

"Situ Gong is righteous." Li Wei nodded and said: "It's just that Chen Mo has not experienced many battles, although he has a record, but if he talks about marching and fighting, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

"But Chen Mofang is the chief general of Yique Pass." Wang Yun smiled and said: "What's more, although Chen Mo is young and has not experienced many battles, he has won every battle, and he can't use common sense!" ”

"That's it!" Breaking the puzzle, he crawled and looked at the quarrel, patted the table and said: "Today's banquet for hundreds of officials is a banquet to celebrate achievements. ”

A wine banquet was drunk until late at night, but Li Dao did not leave, but followed Dong Zhuo to the study.

"What is there that can't be said in public?" Dong Zhuo was a little tired, he was old, and he drank with everyone for another day, and he was already very tired.

"It's not that the last general wants to disturb the Taishi's rest, but this matter is quite unusual." Li Dao said to Dong Zhuo.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Dao: "What's unusual?" ”

"Lord, that Wang Yun and Chen Mo have been at odds for a long time, but today he suddenly helped that Chen Mo speak, doesn't the lord feel strange?" Li Wei frowned.

"I'm too childish." Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "Since entering Beijing, Chen Mo has been isolated by scholars, but his talent is indeed good, and now he has mastered a lot of military power. ”

"Having said that...... Li Dao said to Dong Zhuo: "However, Yique Pass is the southern gateway of Luoyang, although Chen Mo is young, but the city is quite deep, and although he is not in harmony with the scholars, the last general heard that Chen Mo had a lot of friendship with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others in the past, and his teacher Zang Hong is also the leader of this princes' alliance, so he must be guarded against!" ”

Chen Mo's relationship network is not difficult to check, Zang Hong is the nominal leader of the Kwantung princes, and this relationship has always been a thorn in Dong Zhuo's heart.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face became a little more solemn, now that Chen Mo has the military power of Yique Pass, if he really has a different heart and lets Yuan Shu enter the customs, Yuan Shu can completely take advantage of the void to cut off their way back, this really has to be guarded against.

"If this matter is discussed again, don't mess with yourself." In the end, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, now Chen Mo has made Yuan Shu frustrated again and again, and he has prestige in the army, if Chen Mo is dismissed for no reason, it is impossible to say that it is difficult to convince the public, and he said: "It's getting late, let's go and rest quickly." ”

"The last will retire!" After bowing, Li Wei turned to leave.

It's just that although Li Dao is gone, Dong Zhuo has been tossing and turning all night, and he didn't think anything about it before, but now, Dong Zhuo is really a little uneasy, he is afraid to think too much about everything, once people are suspicious, there is a problem with everything, not to mention the two masters and apprentices, one is the leader of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, and the other is guarding the imperial pass here, no matter how you look at it, it's a little weird, right?

In the next period of time, the wind and waves were calm, Lu Bu guarded Aocang, making it difficult for the Kwantung princes to cross the river, Xu Rongtun soldier Xu Ling, and Aocang and Chenggao formed a corner of each other, before the river froze again, it was difficult for the Kwantung princes to cross the river.

Although there was a small-scale melee between the two sides, and even Cao Cao wanted to cross the river from Hanoi and take Mengjin directly, but he was still blocked back, and both Li Ru and the strategists around the princes had judged that the stalemate between the two sides was the result of the south in the winter of this year and before the river froze.

In the empty Luoyang City, the silence is a little infiltrating, on this day, Li Dao quickly whipped his horse, hurriedly came to the outside of the Taishi's Mansion, turned over and dismounted, and the guards at the door recognized Li Dao and stepped forward to ask.

"Tell the lord that I have important military information!" Li Daodao.

"General, wait a minute." The guard agreed, turned around to report, and came back after a while, arching his hand to Li Dao and saying, "General, the Taishi is in the study." ”

"Watch my horses." Li Wei handed the reins to the other party, walked into the mansion quickly, and went straight to Dong Zhuo's study.

"Childish, why be so anxious?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Dao, shook his head and smiled.

"Have you ever heard the rumors that have been circulating among those Taixue disciples recently?" Li Dao asked.

Dong Zhuo nodded, in recent days, among the disciples who did not leave the Tai Academy, suddenly there was a saying out of nowhere that Chen Mo had to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, but he was forced to endure humiliation, and saw that Luoyang would be occupied by Dong Zhuo, so he took refuge decisively, endured humiliation, and hid by Dong Zhuo's side, gaining Dong Zhuo's trust, in order to make a big deal.

"You also said that it was a rumor, how can I believe it?" Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, this rumor has many loopholes, I don't know if Chen Mo endures humiliation and burden, but at the beginning, it was not reused at all, and now, the status that Chen Mo got was all killed by people with a knife and a shot, what does it have to do with this group of people?

"I don't think so." Li Wei took out a stack of silk sermons from his bosom and said, "My nephew Li Xian recently served in Yique Pass, and found that Chen Mo was acting strangely, and had ventured into his apartment to steal these letters. ”

"Letters?" Dong Zhuo took the silk cloths, looked at them one by one, and said a little blankly: "What's wrong with these letters?" ”

It's all about some ups and downs, what can be the problem?

"There is nothing wrong with the letters themselves, but these letters are from Yuan Shu!" Li Wei said in a deep voice: "Lord, the two sides are fighting now, but Chen Mo is exchanging letters with the enemy commander, is it really just to catch up with the past?" The end will be unbelievable. ”

Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this, thought for a while and said to the door: "Go and ask Wen You to come over." ”

"Whoa!"
