"Lord!" Xu Shu and Man Chong hurriedly came to the government office with a few bamboo slips.

"Why are you so anxious?" Chen Mo poured a glass of water for each of them and asked them to send it down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how big the matter is, it won't fall this day, say it slowly, what?" Li Dao and Guo Yan fought? ”

"Not really." Xu Shu shook his head and said, "My lord, look at these, it has just come from the Central Plains, and the pattern of the Central Plains is about to change." ”

"Oh?" Chen Mo took the bamboo slip and spread it out, the record on it was the information from the Central Plains, Cao Cao broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in mid-June, so far, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban westward advance entered a turning point, Cao Cao is more and more smooth, and the Yellow Turban is defeated, in early September, finally in the north of Jibei was all defeated by Cao Cao.

"My brother is still quite powerful." Chen Mo smiled.

"It's amazing." Man Zhong nodded and said: "But his means of governing the place are even more powerful, the Yellow Turban Army surrendered, Cao Cao got more than 300,000 Yellow Turban troops, and the population of one million was all incorporated by Cao Cao, and the lord, you look at these volumes, they are all Cao Cao's governance methods, Yanzhou is now quite prosperous governed by Cao Cao, and this means of cash for work is wonderful." ”

"Yes, this reminds me that Luoyang is doing the same, and we have to repair the houses and cities, and we have to distribute food, and we are also a little nervous." Chen Mo nodded, Lao Cao's idea is really good, and now Chen Mo wants to rebuild Luoyang, this is a big investment, Cao Cao's method gave him a good suggestion.

"But now we are also short of money and food, we have to change our tactics, work for relief, and we can reduce some taxes, which was originally meant to be done, and now we can fill in it to attract more displaced people." Chen Mo added again.

"The lord is not worried at all?" Xu Shu frowned and said: "This Cao Cao won Yanzhou, and got the 300,000 Qingzhou army, the strength will inevitably rise, in the next opinion, if there are a few more years, Yuan Shu must be annexed by Cao Cao, and even now Cao Cao, then Yuan Shu may not be able to fight, so that Yanzhou, Yuzhou and even Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou are Cao Cao's governing lands, and this person will be the enemy of the lord." ”

"So what?" Chen Mo closed the bamboo slip and asked rhetorically: "I'll kill him now while his foothold is not stable?" Let's not talk about whether I can kill him, but if I can, can this Yanzhou belong to me? What should I do here in Luoyang? Do you want Chang'an? What is our strategy? The two of you look at the strategy we set at the beginning, whether it is wrong now, if there is, then we change, if not, we are now making every effort to plan the layout, how is the Central Plains, we have no ability to care, now we should be more worried about Yuan Shu, Tao Qian or even Yuan Shao, no matter what, it is not our turn to worry about this heart, what do you think? ”

"Lord, this may be the great enemy ......of the future," Xu Shu frowned.

"If you can be easily defeated by me, is it still a great enemy?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically, Xu Shu was very relieved to see this, but at the moment, Chen Mo's arm could not be stretched so long, and Cao Cao had just won so many Qingzhou troops, and his strength was flourishing, so he would not defend the strong city, would he still want to fight out?

"Lord, in fact, we can provoke the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so that the two families ......" Xu Shu hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Modao.

"You, learn the kung fu of cultivating qi with my father-in-law, and now Gongsun Chan is in decline, and Yuan Shao has taken the entire river. It's only a matter of time before the north is in the north, at this time Cao Cao's foothold is not stable, you go to provoke Yuan Shao and his relationship, yes, my brother may not be able to stop it, but in that case, Qingzhou and Yanzhou are Yuan Shao's, Yuan Shao is a little indecisive, but if you want to say that he is incompetent, that's not right, if you talk about talent, he is not much worse than my brother, and now he is given an excuse to annex the Central Plains, Yuan Shu can't stop him, and then we have to face the entire Central Plains~"

Xu Shu and Man Chong nodded, indeed, if the Central Plains were occupied by Yuan Shao, then even if they took the imperial court, they would have no advantage over Yuan Shao.

"Come, drink water, it's all here today, don't leave yet." Chen Mo leaned forward, looked left and right again, and said, "I asked people to stew dog meat, and after a while, I called Lao Dian and Batagan to eat with me, this dog meat has to be more lively." ”

"My lord, why don't you eat with the old lady? This dog meat has a nourishing effect. Xu Shu said with a smile.

"I want to too, but you also know that the sunspot in my family was raised by my mother since she was a child, she can't bear to eat dogs, in fact, I also like dogs, but what I like is a loyal dog like a sunspot, I can't stop eating dog meat because I have a dog, but this reason, it doesn't make sense to go to my mother, so ah......" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, you know.

Xu Shu and Man Chong looked at each other and smiled, nodded and said, "Since the lord has invited him, how dare I disobey?" ”

"Good." Chen Mo nodded and shouted outside the door: "Lao Dian, is the dog meat ready?" ”

"Hurry!" Dian Wei came in with a mouth full of oil, and said to Chen Mo: "The cook said that it would be good to stew for another quarter of an hour, and the lord will wait." ”

"And what's in your mouth?" Chen Mo glared.

"Have I tasted this?" Dian Wei licked his mouth: "In addition, I will also help the lord to see if anyone harms the lord." ”

"And I have to thank you?" Chen Mo grinned.

"Then there's no need, worrying about the danger of the main public security is the duty of the last general!" Dian Wei hurriedly shook his head.

"We'll eat in a while, and you'll be watching from the door!" Chen Mo sat back angrily and said.

"Why, my lord!?" Dian Wei was stunned.

"What to do, what to eat, nothing left, I'm afraid we won't have anything to eat when you come!"

Dian Wei wiped his mouth with a look of annoyance and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll eat less~ I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Mo to answer, he ran away.

"It's all a father, and he still looks like this, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, he would have starved the whole family to death." Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei's back and suddenly laughed.

"Lord, speaking of which, Madame is about to give birth, right?" Man Pet smiled at Chen Mo.

"Well, it's just in time for the end of the year." Chen Mo nodded and said: "The little thing has not yet been born, so it makes this Anyi name restless, and when he grows up, he must come to the door one by one to thank him." ”

Although he said that, the smile on Chen Mo's face was quite bright, he asked the medical worker, although his body is strong, but it is not easy to have children, otherwise Yun Si and Juan'er have been with him for so long, and they have not seen a movement in their stomachs, and they have been looking for a prescription recently to see if they can have a few more, after all, in these years, who doesn't want to have children and grandchildren?

"Congratulations, my lord!" Xu Shu and Man Pet smiled.

Chen Mo is now a prince, and in the future it may be an existence like the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

"It may not be a son, don't be too happy!" Chen Mo smiled.

As he spoke, the dog meat was also stewed, the cook came in with the pot, Chen Mo summoned Batagan, Dian Wei also followed in, and everyone pulled a table open, pulled the mats over, and sat together.

"Gollum~" A muffled sound came from Dian Wei's abdomen, Dian Wei touched his stomach, looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Lord, look at this ......"

"Bring the wine." Chen Mo kicked him funny.

Although he was kicked, Dian Wei happily ran out to hold the wine, he knew that this was Chen Mo who had revealed the previous matter, and after following Chen Mo for so long, Dian Wei also understood the habits of his own lord.

When the dog meat was boiling, the fragrance was overflowing, Chen Mo sniffed a little greedily, and immediately picked up the double chopsticks and said, "Eat!" ”

"Lord, are those military formations that this Bata has cultivated really useful?" Xu Shu took a bite of dog meat, took a sip of wine, and looked at Bata Gandao.

Batagan and Dian Wei are both Chen Mo's guards, and Batagan's training methods are very different from those of the Central Plains, his phalanx is too simple, with a large shield and a spear.

"The simpler the thing, the more useful it is, ordinary people have a skill, use it for a lifetime, that ordinary people are really not easy to deal with, their side of the army and our side from the source is different, pay attention to pragmatism, this military formation seems simple, but it is not easy to break, I have studied, the best way to break the formation, is the fire bull array, heavy hammer array, in short, to break the force, as a guard formation, this is the most effective, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the formation is too slow, the equipment is too cumbersome, can not fight a long-term war, and the cost is high, Not suitable for use by the whole army. Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"That's true, but if this array is used to fight the formation, the machine is insufficient." Xu Shu nodded and thought about it.

"But most of the time it's enough, and it's easy to train, and you can go to the battlefield in March or May." Chen Mo said with a smile: "This state culture and military also has merits, but it's a pity that this Mengqi Doune is too far away from us, even Batagan, if you want to go back now, you may not be able to find a way, otherwise you can have a good exchange." ”

"But I don't know what the law is over there?" Man Pet nodded, and glanced at Batagan curiously.

"It's a bit like our Han system." While eating dog meat, Batakan recalled: "The nobles had all the rights to the territory, and then the minor nobles obeyed the orders of the great nobles, and the great nobles obeyed the king, and when they fought, the king would give orders to the big nobles, and the big nobles would gather the small nobles, and the minor nobles would gather the knights." ”

"Lao Ba, when did you become Han?" Dian Wei patted Batakan on the shoulder and smiled.

"Isn't it? In our case, the slave belongs to the master, and if the master gives the slave a gift and frees the slave from slavery, the slave also belongs to the country where the master lives. Batakan looked at Dian Wei suspiciously, what is there to ask this question?

"Maybe this is the lord's strategy to control Hu and turn the Hu people into our own?" Full Pet smiled.

"I do have this idea, but the Xiongnu and Xianbei are different from Mengqi Doune and are more complicated."
