Chapter 104: After the War
Chen Mo didn't know how miserable Guo Yan's death was, but when Liang Xing sent Guo Yan's head, the head was no longer too complete.
The battle of Guanzhong, with the defeat of Li Dao and Guo Yan successively, also came to an end, Duan Xuan, Li Meng and other generals were completely occupied by Chen Mo in Yi County, and they handed over the surrender table, at the same time, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong were also under the instruction of Chen Mo, officially surrendered with Beidi and Feng Yi two counties, so far, except for Hanoi, all the land of Sanfu belonged to Chen Mo, and at the same time, Chen Mo also obtained 80,000 Xiliang troops, and the momentum soared, even compared to Yuan Shao, who gradually overwhelmed Gongsun Zan and began to explore his power into the land of Qingzhou.
Of course, there are many problems, the new Xiliang army, under the auspices of Chen Mo, by Gao Shun to rectify, train, Feng Yi, Beidi and Fufeng and other places of the Qiang began to rebel, Chen Mo ordered the new army to be led by Tai Shici, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, respectively to guard the three places, but after all, the new army experienced less battle formations, and was not familiar with the Qiang people's combat, in the second half of the confrontation with the Qiang people, the new army was mostly on the defensive, and by the end of the year gradually familiar with the Qiang people's combat methods, they began to gradually take the initiative and re-suppress the Qiang people.
In addition, Ma Teng and Han Sui also began to quickly seize Longxi, Hanyang and other places, although they did not directly clash with Chen Mo, but almost all of the chaos in the past half a year was provoked by them.
The Xiliang Army was rectified, the combat strength of the new army could not be honed for the time being, and after Cao Cao won the Son of Heaven, many officials in the DPRK and China expressed their dissatisfaction with Chen Mo, and even openly refused to cooperate with the implementation of Chen Mo's decree.
"Lord, these are the news sent by Jingzhao Yin Feng Rui, Shangluo ordered Zheng Yun to secretly instigate the people around Shangluo to move to Nanyang." Li Ru came in with a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Chen Mo, and said in a deep voice: "I sent someone to Shangluo to verify this matter, and now Shangluo's household registration is less than half of what it was at the beginning of the year!" ”
"Bang~"
Chen Mo slapped the table hard, with his cultivation, he couldn't control his anger at the moment, he somewhat understood why Dong Zhuo was crazy to kill soldiers in the later stage, some people just didn't clean up.
"Call Yang Ping!" Chen Mo closed his eyes and said for a long time.
Yang Ping's official reputation under Chen Mo is not good, Wang Yun's family was copied by Yang Ping at the beginning, and now it seems that Chen Mo is ready to take these sacrificial knives.
Li Ru hesitated for a moment, glanced at Jia Xu who was sitting next to Chen Mo, but saw that Jia Xu didn't seem to see him, and said to Chen Mo with a wry smile: "Lord, that Zheng Yun has a lot of means to do things, and he has not left any handles, if he is guilty of disadvantages, he will be removed from his official position at most, if it is too much, I am afraid that it will cause Sergeant Guan to be dissatisfied." ”
The Zheng family is not a big family, but it is also a member of the scholar clan, if Chen Mo does not ask about the excessive disposal of Zheng Yun, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, I have a lot of evidence of his crimes, including his family's, I will kill him, and these things will be announced to the people." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "Pass on my edict, order Wei to covet Chang'an, and the position of assassin in the state, and be temporarily replaced by Manzhong." ”
"Whoa!" Li Ru bowed when he heard this, and turned to leave.
Wei Qi as the history of the state assassin, the past half a year has done well, and the state is of great significance to Chen Mo, for Wei Qi, Chen Mo is a little suspicious after all, at this time Wei Qian will be transferred to Chang'an, one is a promotion, the position of Jiuqing, there must be a place for Wei Qi, and the two are also alternating powers, Guanzhong is full of troubles, the mess left by Li Guo, Chen Mo has to clean up little by little, and he has no time to return to the state.
Of course, the full favor is only in charge, and the generals from all over the country will lead the troops, and the military power and the political power must be separated.
Now Chen Mofeng's right to assassinate history is much greater than before the state pastor reopened, in the past, the assassination history only had the responsibility of supervision, and now Chen Mo has added a right to Manzhong, with the right to enforce the law, that is, all the prisons are in charge of Manzhong.
Of course, this assassin history is actually not justified, it was canonized by Chen Mo, but as early as before, there have been Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have successively sealed the positions of Qingzhou Assassin History, Yuzhou Assassin History, Cao Cao's position as the state pastor at the beginning, is also self-proclaimed, at the beginning of the year, the imperial court also sent Jin Shang to serve as Yanzhou pastor, was killed by Cao Cao's ambush in the middle of the road, and now Chen Mo canonized himself as an official of his own land, and the princes can't say anything.
Soon, Yang Ping came to the lobby and saluted Chen Mo.
"The lord has summoned the lowly office, I don't know what to command?" Yang Ping looked at Chen Mo with a sneer, after copying the Wang family, Yang Ping had no good reputation at all, but Chen Mo did not break his promise, Yang Ping is now getting bigger and bigger, although the Son of Heaven was taken away by Cao Cao, but the court on the Chang'an side is still maintained, by Huangfu Song, Zhao Wen and Chen Mo three acting as the government, Chen Mo because of his age, took the initiative to give up the promotion to the third duke, and received the position of Guangluxun, Sili Lieutenant, and Che Cavalry General, Huangfu Song is the captain, Zhao Wen is Situ, Chen Mo asked Zhong Xuan to be Sikong, and the Son of Heaven was taken by Cao Cao, But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were on Chen Mo's side, and without reason, Cao Cao could not remove these ministers from their official positions at will.
Yang Ping was sent to the court by Chen Mo, took over Zhong Xuan's position, and became the court captain.
As for Tingwei, he doesn't have this qualification, but Rao is so, for Yang Ping, this addition to the official is also a glorious ancestor, if he follows Yang Feng as before, I am afraid that it will be impossible to climb to this position in this life, so Yang Ping is really loyal to Chen Mo, he knows very well that if there is no Chen Mo, I am afraid that he will be the first to die.
"Someone will send you the evidence of Zheng Yun's crime in a while, you are now Ting Weizheng, you should not be pulled down to let you study the law diligently, right?" Chen Mo glanced at Yang Ping and said with a smile.
"Don't dare to slack off for a moment." Yang Ping hurriedly bowed and said.
"These incriminating evidences are all real, and you should know what to do." Chen Mo looked at Yang Ping and said with a smile, Skynet has now infiltrated the entire Guanzhong, Skynet collects criminal evidence, and in the highest position, there will be a link to reconfirm, maybe not all, but as long as Skynet takes out the convictions, the evidence must be conclusive.
"I understand my humble duties, but I don't know when to leave?" Yang Ping nodded hurriedly, he was good at this kind of thing.
"The sooner the better!" Chen Mo continued to deal with official business, and said lightly, there are some things that he can endure, but for Chen Mo today, that is the root, this is his bottom line, and those who encounter this line should not blame Chen Mo for being unsympathetic.
"Whoa!" When Yang Ping heard this, he hurriedly agreed and left.
Jia Xu took a sip of wine and looked at Chen Mo.
"Sir has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." Chen Mo didn't look up, but as if he had other eyes, he said lightly.
"Does the lord know that there are many people in the court who intend to leave the customs recently?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.
Although the court is there now, there is no Son of Heaven, he uses the reputation of Huangfu Song, Zhao Wen, and Zhong Xuan to stabilize the court, but not everyone buys this account, such as Dong Cheng, who wants to take his daughter to find the Son of Heaven, and some courtiers also want to take refuge in Cao Cao, even if Chen Mo repeatedly promised that after the situation in Guanzhong is stable, he will try to welcome back the Son of Heaven, but not everyone believes it.
"The lord's move, I'm afraid it will make a lot of people leave." Jia Xu laughed.
"As long as the foundation is not messy, Mr. thinks, I really care about the whereabouts of these people?" Chen Mo finally raised his head, looked at Jia Xu and asked with a smile.
Now there is no shortage of grassroots officials in Chen Mo's hands, those who came from Qingzhou to defect, because of Cai Yong's name, as well as Chen Mo's former classmates in Tai Academy, among which there are many outstanding talents, these people are Chen Mo's foundation, as for those ministers in the court, in fact, Chen Mo doesn't care, he doesn't have much ability, relying on his status and reputation to ask Chen Mo for power, the reason why he maintains the operation of the court is that Chen Mo is planning for the next step.
The Son of Heaven was robbed by Cao Cao, Chen Mo was naturally unwilling, and now there are thousands of things in Guanzhong, Cao Cao at the end of the year, Feng Ma Teng is the general of Pingqiang Zhonglang, and Han Sui is the general of Zhonglang, the meaning is self-evident, that is, to make Chen Mo's rear unstable, in addition to the Huns of the Hetao Department, Tuoba Xianbei in the north is also constantly disturbing the border, so that Chen Mo has no energy to deal with Cao Cao now, but it does not mean that this matter is over.
Son of Heaven, Chen Mo will definitely take it back, he doesn't want it, when the Son of Heaven is welcomed back, in addition to himself, there is no figure in the court who can even get his hands on it, and the other one also hopes to keep some more scholars, these scholars usually want to fight for power with Chen Mo, they are very annoying, but if they don't have them, they can't do it, these things like the economy, without the existence of scholars, are really not easy to operate, and it is even more difficult to control some scattered merchants.
Jia Xu smiled: "I should still care about it, but the lord obviously has the lord's plan this time, and the minister just suggested that the lord should not do everything." ”
Although I don't know Chen Mo's specific plans, but judging from Chen Mo's ability to let the descendants of soldiers with military merits enter the academy to study, Chen Mo has already begun to look for a successor to the class of scholars, so as to ensure that there will be no fault in the future, but this matter has some meaning of breaking the origin, Chen Mo is also very careful, but the calculation is too much, Jia Xu's suggestion, Chen Mo can leave some leeway, after all, Chen Mo's move may not be useful, if you don't win, you will lose first, this matter Jia Xu's way of life.
Hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at Jia Xu, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, everything can't be hidden from Mr. ”
"The lord praised falsely, and he only guessed something when he saw the lord and Yang Tingwei talking." Jia Xu bowed.
Chen Mo nodded, indicating understanding.
Of course, this Zheng Yun, Chen Mo still has to clean up, high-level, Chen Mo can not care, no matter how much he fights for power and profit, it is also a matter of this circle, but Chen Mo at the grassroots level must take care of it, this is his own foundation, and it is also to tell these people his own attitude, which is considered a deterrent, and some things have crossed the line, so don't blame yourself for being ruthless and asking for yourself.
