The sunset is gorgeous, the war horses are eating grass with their heads bowed in the distance, and there are a few snorts from time to time, Chen Mo and people stand on the top of the mountain and look at the terrain, the broken Great Wall wall in the distance has collapsed in many places, not enough to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, it seems that a lot of such a lot has been found these days.

"Lord, Cui Taishou's letter." Dian Wei carried a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Chen Modao.

Chen Mo took it and spread it out and looked at it, 5,000 people were sent from Qi County, and now they have been sent to Yanmen, according to Chen Mo's previous deployment, soldiers and horses have been added to various important places to strengthen the deterrent effect of Xianbei in all parts of Yanmen.

"Lord, this place is already located in the middle of the clouds, and it is not appropriate to go deeper." A guide came to Chen Mo and bowed.

"In the clouds, this is also my territory and the state, but now it has become the grassland of the Hu people?" Chen Mo looked at the large flat ground in the distance and sighed.

"There are also the people of my Han family who live here, and in the past two years, the world has been in turmoil, and many people have moved here to settle down and live together with the Xianbei people." The guide bowed.

"How do they get along?" Chen Mo said curiously.

"Although the customs are different, the Hu people on this grassland are actually not extremely vicious, and they are very willing to receive merchants when there is enough grass to eat." The guide laughed.

"It just so happens that I'm also interested in seeing how this Hu man lives." Chen Mo looked at the grassland in the distance, only to feel that his heart was also a lot more open-minded, and smiled.

"Lord!" Several guards on the side hurriedly persuaded: "I will do such things, why should I be in danger?" ”

"No, just pretend to be a merchant and go to sell horses." Chen Mo looked at the grassland in the distance and said, "If I want to govern this place, I should always know what my people do for a living, and how do these Hu people dress up?" And what kind of goods are generally used by merchants who come and go here? Listen to me, go back to the city today, and tomorrow you will disguise yourself as a merchant. ”

Seeing that Chen Mo had made up his mind, the guide was not easy to persuade again, so he had to come down and explain to Chen Mo all the way about the customs here, and how to deal with the Hu people.

When he returned to Mayi all the way, the sky had completely darkened, and Chen Mo asked people to prepare a batch of goods, which did not require too much, and there were people and horses accompanying him tomorrow.

"Lord, are you going to the clouds?" At night, Sun Fang took Hao Jian to find Chen Mo and bowed to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo mobilized 5,000 soldiers and horses to Yanmen, and now the troops of this Yanmen County are relatively sufficient, but Chen Mo wants to go to Hudi at this time, and this Sun Fang He Haojian is a little difficult to accept.

"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded: "At this time, the news is temporarily blocked, and no outsiders can know about it." ”

He had already given a gag order, and several guides were taken by him in the army, and he couldn't pass them on until he came back, also to stabilize people's hearts.

"The lord is now the lord of a state, how can he easily take risks?" Sun Fang frowned.

"It's not a risk." Chen Mo stretched out his finger and pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the two to sit down and said, "This time I went to the clouds, not to fight the enemy, I want to see how this grassland people are different from my Han people?" There are troubles here every year, and if they fall apart today, it will be difficult to have a large-scale war with the Hu people as in previous years, so we have to think of a way to calm down, just sit here and not understand them, and I can't think of any way out of thin air! We'll have to see. ”

"But the lord only takes these horses with him, in case something happens...... How will I explain it to everyone? Sun Fang smiled bitterly.

Everyone here is not Chen Mo's generals, but the local people of Yanmen, Yanmen has suffered from border troubles for a long time, and the larger families have moved away, and now the population of Yanmen is not large, but it is quite barren, although Chen Mo has not been here for a long time, but during this time, he has sent people to teach the people to make manure, and it is to distribute food so that the people can at least eat.

"I made an unannounced visit this time, and I brought a lot of people, but it was easy to be targeted by those big tribes." Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own measure, thank you for the two generals for your concern, it's late at night, the two generals go to rest." ”

"Whoa!" Seeing that Chen Mo had made up his mind, the two could only nod helplessly and agree, bowing down and retreating.

Looking at the direction in which the two left, Chen Mo got up, this Yanmen County is the easiest place for him to collect, whether it is the people or the Yanmen defenders, but it is also the most difficult place to govern, how to coexist between the two clans is not something that can be solved by war, which is also the reason why Chen Mo wants to know more about it this time.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Chen Mo changed into the merchant clothes prepared for him, and Sun Fang He Haojian sent Chen Mo outside the city all the time.

"Remember, the purpose of this trip must not be mentioned to anyone, if someone in the Taishou Mansion asks, just say that I will go to survey the terrain, and I will send people to contact you from time to time, and Bao Geng's army will protect me all around, as short as half a month, as long as three months, I will definitely come back." Chen Mo hung his longbow on the saddle and looked at Sun Fang and Hao Jiandao with a smile.

"Lord!" Hao Jian pulled a young man who was not much different from Chen Mo to Chen Mo, and said to Chen Mo: "This is a dog, famous, and has long admired the reputation of the lord, although he has no great ability, but he can still do it to help the lord pass on some news, and the lord can still do it, please bring him with him, Bodao!" ”

"Huh?" Chen Mo looked at Hao Jian in some surprise.

"The lord is strange, my son Hao Zhao, and the words are also Bodao!" Seeing that Chen Mo's face was wrong, Hao Jian hurriedly bowed and said.

"Bo Dao?" Chen Mo looked at the young man behind Hao Jian, smiled and nodded, but it felt a little weird.

"Hao Zhao see the lord!" Hao Zhao hurriedly saluted Chen Mo.

"Let's go." Chen Mo nodded, didn't say much, waved his hand directly, signaled everyone to go, and the group drove three big cars and slowly set off.

……

Not long after Chen Mo set off, the Yin Pavilion, the Taishou Mansion.

"Are you sure that Chen Mo turned into a merchant and went to the area in the clouds?" Yanmen Taishou looked at the person in front of him and asked with a frown.

"This is what I have heard of in my own hands!" That person was dressed in a family service, if it was someone from the Assassin's Mansion, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was Chen Mo in the Yin Pavilion, and Sun Fang arranged for him to serve him temporarily, he was a little slippery on weekdays, but at this moment, his face was faintly showing a bit of fortitude.

"The ignorant are still fearless." Yanmen Taishou shook his head with a smile, thought for a while, and said, "Ma Yi, you don't want to go back, you will be a general here with me in the future." ”

"Thank you, Lord." The family Ding bowed, and then frowned: "But the lord, Chen Mo has been unwilling to come to the Yin Pavilion since he came to Yanmen, has he been guarding against the lord for a long time?" ”

Yanmen Taishou frowned when he heard this, thought about it and shook his head and said: "Yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore, it will be difficult for him to survive this time, what qualifications do you have to occupy and merge with the state?" I have already made contact with the first duke, the fourth and third dukes, so that I am worthy of my equal allegiance. ”

"Can Ben Chu Gong have a response?" The general, dressed as Ding, asked.

"This has not been, but this Yanmen is the gateway to the state, how can the original prince not want it?" Yanmen Taishou said with a smile.

"It's just that although Duke Yuan's family background is prominent, but now he is only a county guard, and his identity as the lord is not much different, if Chen Mo is really dead, why doesn't the lord take advantage of the situation to seize the state?" The family frowned.

"Short-sighted!" Yanmen Taishou said with a smile: "Bingzhou is tired, even if you count Hedong, the population is only one million, how can it be compared with Yuan Gong?" You set off immediately, go to the clouds on my behalf, and let that leader take the opportunity to kill Chen Mo, otherwise I don't think I will give him another weapon. ”

Chen Mo's control over Yanmen is getting stronger and stronger, but over the years, he has taken advantage of the convenience of Taishou to privately sell a lot of armaments to the head of the leader, helping the head to sit firmly in the position of this single Yu, after Chen Mo entered Yanmen, he did not check the accounts as when he was in Taiyuan or Hedong, but it was precisely because of this that he was afraid, especially after Chen Mo arrived in Yanmen, he had been unwilling to come to the Yin Pavilion, which also made him uneasy.

Yanmen's armaments are numerous, even if you don't go through the files of the Taishou Mansion, you can find out, once Chen Mo completely controls Yanmen County, and then check these things, with Chen Mo's current popularity in Yanmen and his influence in the imperial court are far from being able to compete with him without the right to Taishou, when the time comes, Chen Mo will not say kill him, even if the three clans are justified, it is precisely because of this that he is eager to find a new backer to protect himself, and at the same time he also wants to find an opportunity to assassinate Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo was accompanied by personal guards when he went in and out, and the assassins were not easy to do at all, and Chen Mo had never been to his own base camp, the Yin Pavilion.

finally waited until Chen Mo was so arrogant and wanted to run to the clouds, but it was the best opportunity, he had helped these Xianbei people for so long, although he had also gained a lot of benefits from it, but without himself, how could the leader sit firmly in the position? Now is the time for these Xianbei people to repay the favor.

Jia Ding was about to speak, when a sharp arrow suddenly flew outside the door, directly piercing Jia Ding's head.

"Envoy, it's not good!" A county guard ran in embarrassed and saluted the Taishou who was hiding behind the door: "The government office is surrounded!" ”

"Who is so bold?" Taishou frowned and said, "Why don't you summon the soldiers in the city to save it?" ”

"They can't come!" A loud laugh was accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps, and a group of soldiers came in with two men dressed as scribes.

"Who are you waiting for? How dare you trespass on the government office? Taishou shouted angrily.

"Zhong Yun, the new cavalry captain in Xiayanmen, this is the new Hedong Tai Guard." Zhong Yun smiled.

"Mr. Birru?" Taishou naturally knew Wei Qi's reputation, although Zhong Yun had heard of it, but his family background was not obvious, he was a lackey under Chen Mo, he didn't care too much, just looked at Wei Qi and said, "What does this mean?" ”

"Jiang Yuanjun, if you have something to say to General Zhong, you are here to take over the post of Yanmen Taishou instead of Brother Jiang." Wei Qi hugged his fists, he didn't know the other party, but the reputation was naturally heard.

"Do you really think that the lord doesn't know your careful thoughts?" Zhong Yun glanced at Wei Qi, and then looked at the Yanmen Taishou and said, "Come with me." ”
