A heavy rain extinguished the war, and the abandoned villages, charred houses, and the corpses on the ground all illustrated the horrors of the war.

"Today's yellow turban thieves are no longer as easy to deal with as they were in the Zhongping period, poor Brother Yuncheng~" This should still belong to Shouzhang County, Dongping County, after a hard battle, Cao Cao, who finally drove the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves out, sat on a broken arm a little tiredly, took the dough cake handed by Xiahoudun, and took a bite hard.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban invaded Yanzhou in early April, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai was killed, Cao Cao also secretly sent the strategist Chen Gong and others to Yanzhou to operate, and finally persuaded the Zhizhong Wanqian to welcome Cao Cao into Yanzhou, which was the first step for Cao Cao to gradually start to break away from Yuan Shao's control.

However, if you want to enter Yanzhou, you must at least come up with the ability, Cao Cao and Bao Xin teamed up to meet the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, although they won in the end, but in the process, Bao Xin died in the chaos of the army, and Cao Cao brought a lot of losses, fortunately, in the end, he won, this Shouzhang battle is quite important, winning this battle, the momentum of the Yellow Turban was interrupted by Cao Cao, and it will be much easier next.

"Lord!" Xi Zhicai walked briskly here under the escort of Cao Hong and Xiahoudun.

"Zhicai, we won, this Yanzhou is ours!" Cao Cao stood up with the dough cake and said with a smile.

"The minister knows, but there is bad news!" Xi Zhicai nodded, the battle of Shouzhang was planned by him from the beginning of the layout to when to make a move, although the victory was difficult, but it was also expected.

"Oh?" Cao Cao said abruptly: "Has there been a change in Yanzhou? ”

"It's Chang'an." Xi Zhicai sighed and said: "I just got the news, Chen Mo took advantage of the siege of Chang'an by the Xiliang army, captured Hongnong, and began to accept displaced people from Guanzhong to Luoyang, Chenggao, Yique and other passes are occupied by him, and now he has written to Yuan Shao, wanting to hand over Luoyang to Yuan Shao." ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai thinks that Yuan Shao will accept it?" ”

"Naturally not." Xi Zhicai shook his head: "Chen Mo calculated this point, so he did this, not only to make Yuan Shao feel at ease, but also to actually occupy the land of Heluo, now that Chen Mo did not take the opportunity to attack Chang'an, but after occupying Hongnong again, he began to quickly operate Heluo, obviously he also noticed that this level would not be so easy to take." ”

That is, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops in Guanzhong, Li Dao and Guo Yan are not soft persimmons, at least it is no problem to fight, how many troops can Chen Mo have?

"So, Chen Mo occupies Luoyang, in fact, to prevent the Kwantung princes from robbing Chang'an with him?" Cao Cao's side, Cao Ren frowned.

"When this is the case, this person already regards the imperial court as a bag, and with Chen Mo's ability to command the army, we will win Yanzhou, and it will be difficult to attack Guanzhong." Xi Zhicai sighed, they haven't even done it in Yanzhou now, but Chen Mo has already regarded Guanzhong as something in his pocket.

"What else?" Cao Cao was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.

“？” Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"That's the bad news that Zhicai just said?" Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.

"Don't you think this is bad news?" Xi Zhicai asked rhetorically.

"Count?"

"Doesn't count?"

"I waited until I didn't even take Yanzhou yet, so I thought about attacking Guanzhong, and I thought too far." Cao Cao shook his head, sat down again, and said: "Actually, this matter is not strange, you have not been in contact with him, this virtuous brother of mine is quite far-sighted and decisive, and his talent is ...... No less than me! ”

Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Cao suspiciously, why did he hesitate?

Cao Cao coughed lightly and said: "Actually, when Zhicai told me before that he attacked Chang'an to regain the Son of Heaven, I was moved, but now that he has blocked the way, it will not be easy for us to do this again. ”

"What the lord said is very true." Xi Zhicai nodded, Cao Cao is actually very fast now, and it is basically a certain number to take Yanzhou, but Chen Mo suddenly came to such a hand, so that the situation will develop in the direction that Xi Zhicai is most unwilling to see, if Cao Cao can successfully win Yanzhou, and Chen Mo will win Guanzhong during this period, Cao Cao may have to lie dormant under Yuan Shao for a period of time in the future, and the status of Yanzhou is also extremely unfavorable for Cao Cao, it is best to take Yuan Shu and take Yuzhou and Xuzhou in his hands, but even so, the future of the north is also a three-legged situation, and Cao Cao may still belong to the weaker one.

"Let's go, now is not the time to think about this, take Yanzhou first." Cao Cao patted Zhicai's shoulder and turned to leave.

……

The matter of Chen Mo's acquisition of Hongnong and Heluo also spread with Xu Huang's public entry into Chenggao, and Chen Mo took Zhongyun as the river. Nanyin has begun to arrange for a large number of displaced people to migrate to the Heluo area in batches.

In the Heluo area, Zhong Yun has already begun to migrate the displaced people, which is different from Dong Zhuo's migration at the beginning, when Dong Zhuo only moved the people over, but did not carry out household registration, so that after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, many displaced people became tenant farmers and family members of the wealthy family of Guanlong, obviously with a large population, but they could not collect taxes.

This time, in addition to setting up supply stations along the way to distribute food to the displaced people, Zhong Yun did the most to re-measure the fields in the Luoyang area and plan how to distribute the land after the relocation.

Theoretically speaking, the land in Luoyang is now ownerless, that is, it belongs to Chen Mo, and the distribution right is naturally in the hands of Chen Mo, and Chen Mo also instructed Zhong Yun in this way, the land in Luoyang is owned by the government office, if there is a title deed, such as Bao Geng's family, you can claim your own land with the title deed, if you don't, then you can only lease, Luoyang's land will not be sold in a short time, anyone who dares to buy land indiscriminately, Chen Mo will be directly punished.

At the same time, Chen Mo handed over the Tuntian policy he wrote to Zhong Yun, and Zhong Yun had to choose some hardcover for the military tun.

In short, there was a great chaos in Guanzhong, and the busiest person was not the Xiliang warlord, but Chen Mo, and almost all the people who could be sent under his command were sent by Chen Mo to take charge of this relocation plan.

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

"What is this?" Li Dao looked at the recital handed over by Chen Mo and said angrily: "Not only do you want to give him the position of Chen Mo and the state pastor, this river. Nanyin Zhongyun and Hongnong Taishou are all his people? ”

"Now that we have just occupied Chang'an, everything is undecided, not to mention the affairs of the counties, this Chang'an City alone is a mess, so Chen Mo is sure that we are powerless to take care of it now." Guo Yan frowned.

"Just let him occupy Hongnong like this?" Li Wei frowned and said, "And the state pastor also gave it to him?" ”

This state pastor and the history of the assassin are not the same concept, the state pastor is in charge of the affairs of a state, and is also in charge of the army, but the history of the state actually only has the right to inspect, and does not have the right to deal with state affairs, let alone military power, although in fact, Chen Mo, the history of the state assassin, has seized the military and political rights of the entire state, but in fact, in the general sense, Chen Mo is overstepping his authority, if the court is willing, he can call on the princes to fight Chen Mo at any time for this reason, this time Chen Mo asked the court for the position of state pastor, it is to go to this hidden danger, this princes dispute, Sometimes things in name are more important than strength.

And the timing chosen by Chen Mo was also something that Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't refuse.

"How else?" Guo Yan was injured by Lu Bu before, and he was still a little weak, but his face was pale at the moment, and he shook his head helplessly and said: "Now many people in the court are facing him, and even many generals in our army are kind to him. ”

Chen Mo has been under Dong Zhuo for a long time, and even now, there are still many generals who feel that Chen Mo is part of the Xiliang Army.

After relieving himself, Guo Yan said again: "Now that Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west are united with the Qiang tribes to make a rebellion, the Kwantung princes regard us as enemies, in my opinion, Chen Mo has received the state pastor, and he can block the Kwantung princes for us, and Chen Mo is an important official in this room, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us, he is the first prince to pay tribute to the court." ”

Now for the Xiliang army, the most important thing is not how much territory to occupy, but how to stabilize the situation of the court and make the princes obedient.

Chen Mo has gained benefits from the imperial court, and other princes will also see this, and some princes who are not on good terms with the Yuan family will also come to the imperial court to gain recognition, and as the actual controllers of the imperial court, they may also be able to use this to drive a wedge and sow discord among the princes, so that the princes can kill each other.

"Then give?" Li Wei frowned and said, what he was most unhappy about was that Chen Mo obviously didn't do anything, but in the end, he seemed to be a winner, and they all carried the infamy, but Chen Mo was able to share with them, which made them feel aggrieved.

"Give, give more! Let all the princes of the world know. Guo Yan nodded.

When Li Dao heard this, he could only nod his head and come down, the affairs of this court had already made them have a headache, and Chen Mo could actually settle down a little here.

Liu Xie knelt on the throne, looking at His Royal Highness and these people discussing the affairs of the imperial court and the canonization of the governor of a state, shouldn't he be asked about this matter of the son of heaven?

There was a sense of sadness in his heart, although Dong Zhuo was not very happy when he was there, but in fact, Dong Zhuo still maintained due respect for him, the Son of Heaven, no matter what happened, even if it was just a formality, Dong Zhuo would ask him for the opinion of the Son of Heaven, and Dong Zhuo would let him call the shots on some things that were not too important.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead and Wang Yun is also dead, Liu Xie suddenly sadly found that he was like an ornament in this court, and Li Dao and Guo Yan obviously didn't care about his feelings and thoughts like Dong Zhuo.
