Chapter 120: Yang Zhai
"General Chen, thank you for your outspokenness." After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chen Mo met Yuan Kui's uncle and nephew who were escorted away outside the palace gate, and Yuan Kui's somewhat stiff body bowed slightly to Chen Mo.
"It's too serious, and the end may not change anything." Chen Mo sighed and returned the salute to Yuan Kui.
The princes' attack on Luoyang is already a foregone conclusion, and will Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu withdraw from the alliance because of Yuan Kui's uncle and nephew? In the past, Chen Mo felt that no matter how much it was, family affection came first, but now, ...... He lost faith in this.
"The general trend has been decided, the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, only General Chen is willing to speak out against the trend, this heart, the old man also has to thank General Chen." Yuan Kui shook his head and said.
Chen Mo didn't know what to say, the palace captain on the side was already urging, Chen Mo could only salute Yuan Kui's uncle and nephew and watch them leave.
"Don't look at it." Cai Yong didn't know when he came behind Chen Mo, looked at the direction Yuan Kui left and sighed, "I'm afraid that the Yuan family will give up Ciyang." ”
"I know." Chen Mo nodded, and when someone in the court talked about this matter, he understood, turned his head to look at Cai Yong and said, "The war has begun." ”
Cai Yong nodded, walked side by side with Chen Mo, and said leisurely: "Yesterday, Zhong Ying has sent the general Xu Rong to Xingyang to garrison, how about the virtuous nephew thinking that he will win or lose for this?" ”
"I don't know." Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Xu Rong and his person, Mo has never even seen him, how do you know what his ability is, teacher, Mo is going to go to Yangzhai." ”
"At this point?" Cai Yong frowned and asked.
"Well, no matter how long it takes, I'm afraid that the war will be involved, and I won't be able to go." Chen Mo nodded and smiled, there is no shortage of talents in Hedong now, but if you want to enter Bingzhou in the future, there will be a shortage, so Chen Mo is going to go first, first to see if Guo Jia, who is recommended by Cai Yong, is willing to follow him, and he has already written to Chen Deng, and he has already obtained the land of Hedong, so he hopes that Chen Deng will recommend some talents to him again.
He is very satisfied with the full favor, but one full pet is not enough.
"It's okay, the old man gave you a letter of recommendation, and in addition, at this time, you'd better talk to Dong Zhuo, so as not to make Dong Zhuo suspicious." Cai Yong nodded.
"What Bo Gong said is very true." Chen Mo nodded, said goodbye to Cai Yong at the moment, and turned to Master Tai.
……
"Chen Mo?" Dong Zhuo heard that Chen Mo came to visit, he was a little puzzled, if there was something, why didn't the court say it, after thinking about it, he still nodded and said, "Let him come in." ”
Soon, Chen Mo, under the leadership of Master Tai's guards, came to the main hall, saw Dong Zhuo, and bowed down.
"The last general, Chen Mo, see Taishi." Chen Mo saluted.
"If General Chen comes to intercede for Uncle Yuan's uncle and nephew, don't open your mouth." Dong Zhong stretched out his hand to help him, signaling that Chen Mo did not need to be polite.
"Not really." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Although Taifu is innocent, if the princes' rebels are stubborn, this move can indeed deter the princes. ”
"And what are you doing here?" Dong Zhuo wondered.
"I heard that Yuan Shutun soldiers Luyang." Chen Mo bowed to Dong Zhuo and said: "If it goes up the Yingshui, it can go straight to Yique Pass, and the last general suspects that the Yingchuan area has colluded with Yuan Shu, so he wants to investigate, if Yingchuan does not fall, the last general thinks that a soldier and horse can be set up in the Yingchuan area, and if Yuan Shu leads the army to attack, it can threaten its grain route and its rear, and cut off its way back." ”
"Then what if Yingchuan has secretly descended?" Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this and asked.
"Then not only Yique Pass must be defended, but also the four passes of Luhun Pass, Xuanmen Pass, Xuanyuan Pass, and Dagu Pass must also be cautious." Chen Mo frowned and said: "The city of Yique Pass is high and thick, and it is not easy to attack, but these four passes are not as strong as Yique Pass, not only will they divide a lot of troops, but also extend the battle line of our army, if Yingchuan is still in the hands of the imperial court, then Yuan Shu has enough troops, and he does not dare to rush north." ”
Dong Zhuo frowned and nodded when he heard this: "What General Chen said is also quite reasonable, but how many people do you need?" ”
"Don't be too much, the last general thinks that one team is enough, this time it's to investigate, and it may be necessary to negotiate, if you bring too many soldiers and horses, it will make Yingchuan vigilant." Chen Mo smiled.
"It's fine." Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully, nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Then it's hard for General Chen, you will take a team of people to Yingchuan to investigate, if Yingchuan County is unwilling to accept the imperial edict, you should take self-protection as the top, and don't be strong." ”
At least from the point of view of behavior, Chen Mo is much more reliable than those scholars, since he voted for Dong Zhuo, he has been doing practical things, even if Dong Zhuo has been alienated from him, he has never been dissatisfied.
"The last will be retired." Chen Mo got Dong Zhuo's order, saluted Dong Zhuo at the moment, and bowed to retire.
After leaving Master Tai, Chen Mo directly took Dian Wei and his personal guards and went directly out of the city, all the way to Yique Pass, where he exchanged seals with the guards to pass the customs, and then went straight to Yangzhai.
Yang Zhai is an ancient city, the history of Yang Zhai is the capital of Dayu, and it was also the Warring States period of Han. The national capital city is a capital city with a long history, and now it is also the seat of Yingchuan County.
Although the Central Plains is full of war, but Yang Zhai's side, it seems that it is not bothered by this, when Chen Mo rushed to Yang Zhai all the way, it seems that this city has a strange power, which makes people feel quiet.
"Lord, what's so uncomfortable here?" Compared with Chen Mo's enjoyment, this Yang Zhai's atmosphere was very uncomfortable for Dian Wei.
"Read more and you'll enjoy it." Chen Mo glanced at Dian Wei amusedly and said, "Let's go, visit Xian today, after seeing people for a while, don't be rude." ”
"Don't worry, Dian Wei has been by the lord's side for so many days, has the lord ever seen me rude?" Dian Wei patted his chest and said.
"I mean, you don't have to stare at people!" Chen Mo saw Dian Wei glaring at a passing scholar until the scholar bowed his head and left, and said with a headache.
"He glared at me first!" Dian Wei was a little unconvinced.
"Then don't look at it." Chen Mo glared at him and said.
Dian Wei was a little speechless, but seeing Chen Mo's stern eyes, he could only nod and agree, and followed behind Chen Mo, but saw a county guard in front of him rushing towards this side, and he was about to surround everyone.
"Presumptuous!" Dian Wei stepped forward, and without waiting for the county lieutenant to speak, he kicked him down.
This time, Chen Mo did not stop him, he came straight to the other party, and showed his seal ribbon and said: "I should be towards Guangluxun, He. Nan Yin, come here, what do you mean? ”
"I heard that a group of thieves appeared in the city, and the lower officials were worried that someone would disturb Yang Zhai, so they came to check." The county lieutenant was trampled under the feet of Dian Wei, and said with some grievances.
Chen Mo had already revealed his identity when he entered the city, Yingchuan County actually did not welcome Chen Mo's arrival, although he did not join the alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but Yingchuan County came with a two-faced attitude, Chen Mo brought people into the city, Yingchuan County Taishou wanted to drive the other party out in this way, who knew that Chen Mo had such a ruthless person by his side, without saying a word, he would do it directly, this is still Dian Wei's strength, otherwise it is a question whether this county lieutenant can still open his mouth now.
"Where is the king?" Chen Mo waved his hand, asked Dian Wei to let him go, and asked.
"The envoy has contracted a cold during this time and is resting at home." The county lieutenant got up and covered his chest, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Chen Mo.
"What about the county?" Chen Mo asked again.
"I went out to visit friends, and I haven't returned yet."
"Well, the official will stay in the government office for a few days, and wait for the king to get well." Chen Mo didn't go to Guo Jia for the first time, this Yingchuan Taishou attitude, he understood it, he didn't stop himself, he didn't want to disobey the court, but he avoided it, that is, he wanted to keep a distance from the court, and both sides should not be offended.
The county lieutenant rubbed his chest and saluted Chen Mo and said, "The last general can't call the shots." ”
"You don't need to be the master, I'm here by edict!" Chen Mo shook his head and smiled, "Just do your own thing." ”
"The last general will leave!" The county lieutenant was speechless, but Chen Mo was a court envoy, and he was really not qualified to care about Chen Mo, so he had to bow down and salute.
"Lord, aren't we here to visit Xian?" Seeing the county lieutenant leave, Dian Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you be louder? Let everyone know? Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled.
Looking at Chen Mo's expression, Dian Wei chose to shut up, every time Chen Mo showed such a smile, he felt uncomfortable, and it was not as comfortable as Chen Mo kicking his feet.
"Now it's late, go to the government office first, this visitor has the rules of visiting, I haven't seen it, and I don't go there in the afternoon or evening." Chen Mo took his entourage straight to the government office, preparing to stay here for one night, as for staying in the inn...... came out in a hurry, and he didn't bring much money, so he could save it.
It's just that when I went to the government office, I saw a group of county guards tying up a person and sending him to the direction of the prison.
For this kind of thing, Chen Mo didn't plan to care about it, but he just felt that the prisoner's popularity was good, and he took a few glances, but found that although this person's luck was low, his life count was 70.
If a prisoner has such a high number of lives, it is naturally impossible for him to be because of his status, but because he is talented and learned.
"Stop!" Chen Mo waved his hand, and a group of people immediately stopped the county guard.
"General, this is the official business of the county, although the rank of the general officer is high, but ......" The county lieutenant frowned and looked at Chen Modao.
"I know." Chen Mo nodded, came to the prisoner, and looked carefully, this person is not much different from his own age, maybe only one or two years older than himself, he has the air of a chivalrous person, his eyes are clear, and he smiled at the moment: "I don't think this person looks like a villain, what did he do?" ”
"This person's name is Xu Fu, he is a ranger of the Changshe Society, he once killed the famous people of the Changshe Society, and after he was arrested and escaped, he fled here to study and was exposed." The county lieutenant bowed.
"Since it is a crime of murder, leave it to me, and this official will take him back to Luoyang for interrogation." Chen Mo looked at this person, saw that he didn't say a word, and nodded.
"General, this is not in order." The county lieutenant frowned.
"According to the criminal law, if you kill someone in the local area, if you are arrested and escape, it is a crime of one degree, and these are extremely vicious criminals, and they should be handed over to the county government to report to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will issue a sea arrest document, and after being arrested, it will be directly handed over to the imperial court for punishment. Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Uh......" The county lieutenant was dumbfounded, even if he was on an errand, who would be able to recite the criminal laws of the Han Dynasty if he had nothing to do?
"As a county lieutenant, you don't even understand my Han criminal law?" Chen Mo frowned.
"Naturally, I understand, what the general said is good, but this matter should be reported to the envoy." The county lieutenant hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he understood.
"That's right, I have to wait for him, this person will be put in my place first, and after I meet with your envoy, I will make it clear to him." Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, people are here with me, and you can't run." ”
Although the county lieutenant was unwilling, his words had come to this point, so he could only nod his head and agree.
