"Do you really want to send it away?" In Dong Zhuo's military camp, Dong Zhuo's rough and wide palms carefully groped Red Rabbit's mane and helped straighten it out. Red Rabbit rubbed Dong Zhuo's face, which was already full of flesh, affectionately.

Military generals always have an obsession with good horses that is difficult for others to understand. Especially the red rabbit is very understanding of human nature, which makes Dong Zhuo reluctant to let go.

"Father-in-law, if you achieve great things, you shouldn't stick to temporary gains and losses. If you change a red rabbit to a general, your father-in-law should make a choice." Li Ru looked at his father-in-law dumbfounded. No one was there at the moment. Dong Zhuo was holding the horse.

It looks a bit ridiculous. In fact, Li Ru doesn't really understand the relationship between people and horses. He also rides a horse, but he doesn't really care about the quality of the horse. He can ride any horse.

"Lord, Li Su is back!" Hua Xiong walked in, glanced at Chitu with some envy, and then clasped his fists at Dong Zhuo.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo regained his seriousness and nodded: "Let him come in."

"Here!" Hua Xiong agreed, turned around and left. Soon, Li Su was brought in by Hua Xiong.

"Congratulations, lord!" Li Su came in and greeted Dong Zhuo first.

"Oh? Then Lu Bu has agreed to come and surrender?" Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up. Lu Bu's heroic appearance on the battlefield during the day made Dong Zhuo admire him. Although he was a little embarrassed at the time, Dong Zhuo himself was also a brave man. He fought on the battlefield when he was young, and was very proud of him.

He knew the value of a strong general like Lu Bu on the battlefield.

"Not yet." Li Su shook his head and said, "But Fengxian has long been dissatisfied with Ding Yuan. He was originally a hero, but Ding Yuan only made him a small official with a knife and a pen. Just now in his account, I tried to recruit him, and he

I have already made a move, but I just lost my lord's face on the battlefield today, and I am worried that my lord will hold a grudge, so I hesitate to make a decision."

"Sword and pen official?" Dong Zhuo turned his head, looked at Li Ru, and couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Ding Yuan is a common man, with such a narrow-minded mind, I am worthy of accomplishing great things!"

"Father-in-law!" Li Ru took a step forward, bowed and said with a smile: "Since Na Ding has committed the crime himself, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to annex his tribe, we can control the power of Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo nodded, and then he touched the red rabbit with some reluctance and said, "Since Lu Bu has decided to cast his horse, this horse..."

"Father-in-law!" Li Ru said with a somewhat helpless tone, "At this time, it is the time for father-in-law to show his courtesy and courtesy. He must not be as short-sighted as that woman."

"Huh?" Dong Zhuo turned around and glared at Li Ru dissatisfied.

Li Ru silently stepped aside and said nothing.

Dong Zhuo touched Red Rabbit's soft mane, hugged the horse's neck again, finally sighed, closed his eyes and handed out the reins: "That's all, giving it to Lu Bu can be considered a show of sincerity."

"Lord Hailiang!" Li Su bowed, reached out to take the reins, and tugged, but he didn't pull it out, and he couldn't use much force. He looked at Dong Zhuo, who had eyes like this, doubtfully: "Lord?"

"Take it!" Dong Zhuo handed the reins forward.

Li Su pulled again, but there was still no response. He was dumbfounded. Li Ru on the side couldn't see it. He stepped forward and wanted to open Dong Zhuo's hand, but Dong Zhuo's fingers were as strong as radishes. How could it be?

Li Ru, a scribe, could break it.

"Father-in-law!" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo speechlessly. Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't respond, he couldn't help but increase his tone and said, "My lord!"

Dong Zhuo had no choice but to let go. Although Dong Zhuo acted vigorously and resolutely, he still relied heavily on his son-in-law. Generally, when Li Ru directly called him lord, Dong Zhuo would usually give in.

"Tell Lu Bu to treat Red Rabbit well!" Seeing Li Su leaving, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but stroke Red Rabbit's mane and said.

Li Ru quickly nodded in agreement, but he would not be stupid enough to tell Lu Bu that they were all warriors. If they got this BMW, even if Li Su didn't say anything, Lu Bu would still treat it as a treasure.

Watching Li Su leave with a look of reluctance, Dong Zhuo sighed, looked at Li Ru and said, "Then what should we do next?"

"The matter of abolishing the establishment should be carried out as soon as possible!" Li Ru thought: "It's just that the jade seal to pass on the country is missing. It will be difficult for my father-in-law to command the world."

Dong Zhuo also nodded. He did not pass the national jade seal for sealing, which would give the governors and state pastors of various places a reasonable excuse to reject the imperial edict. But it didn't matter. As long as the situation in Luoyang and Guanzhong could be stabilized, the emperor would be able to organize the world step by step in his hands.

"Lord!" At this moment, a servant hurriedly came in and said to Dong Zhuo: "Military Colonel Chen Mo is outside the door asking for an audience."

"Chen Mo?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows. Dong Zhuo still had a good impression of this young man who was able to lead a school of troops in Luoyang at the age of fifteen, and who also had a certain prestige among celebrities in Luoyang.

But what does Chen Mo mean by coming here now?

He couldn't help but look at Li Ru.

Li Ru shook his head. He didn't have much contact with this young man. If he was the ministers in the court, even if he didn't have much contact with him, he would be able to know his character and analyze his purpose through inquiring.

But Chen Mo... Li Ru naturally inquired about it. Since entering Luoyang, he has entered the Imperial Academy and has been unremarkable, but he has received comments from Xu Zijiang. According to the rumors, he got it by threatening Xu Zijiang with a sword.

, and then participated in the selection of generals in Xiyuan and became a military commander of the new army in Xiyuan. However, he showed great military talent in fighting against the Gebei bandits. In the end, because of Bao Hong's corruption, he replaced Bao Hong and became the lieutenant of the lower military academy.

Of course he has luck, and I heard that he was also favored by great Confucians such as Lu Zhi and Xun Shuang. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were also very close to him, which shows that he himself has enough ability. Otherwise, how could a commoner be able to succeed in this field?

In just one year, have you become like a fish in water in a place like Luoyang? Have you been promoted step by step?

"No?" Dong Zhuo said unexpectedly.

"It's okay to meet him. From a Confucian perspective, although this man is young, he is quite famous. When my father-in-law sees him later, he only needs to talk to him about interesting things about Luoyang and the affairs of the Chen family. I will give him a test."

"That's fine." Dong Zhuo nodded, and immediately ordered the guards to invite Chen Mo in, and brought Li Ru and Hua Xiong into the Chinese army's tent.

Chen Mo came alone. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw Hua Xiong glaring at him fiercely, with murderous intent all over his body.

"I have long heard that Hua Xiong, the fierce general under Dong Gong, can kill people among thousands of armies. When I saw it today, his momentum was quite shocking." Chen Mo turned a blind eye to Hua Xiong's murderous intent and went straight to the tent to salute Dong Zhuo and said with a smile.

.

"I was defeated at the hands of Ding Yuan today. Could it be that General Chen came here to make fun of me?" Dong Zhuo leaned back and looked like a lion.

"Mo is fifteen this year," Chen Mo said in truth.

"Uh...what do you mean?" Dong Zhuo was puzzled.

"I haven't lived enough." Chen Mo said concisely and to the point.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru couldn't help but laugh. Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Then you came here to defect to me?"

"It's almost the same." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Yesterday, I suggested taking advantage of the situation when Mr. Dong was not stable, to unite all the troops to expel Mr. Dong from the capital. General Huben Zhonglang, Xiyuan soldiers and horses, and the five schools of the Northern Army. A total of

There are also ten thousand people. From what I can see, Duke Dong came to the capital with only five thousand men and horses, maybe less. If there was a battle last night, Duke Dong had no chance of controlling Luoyang."

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were shocked when they heard this. If it was true as Chen Mo said, how could they have a chance to control the palace last night?

"Then why..." Dong Zhuo asked a question that was not very smart.

Li Ru felt that Chen Mo was exaggerating his own worth. In hindsight, it was actually easy to find a way, but for many things, it was just one step away. So he looked at Chen Mo and smiled and said, "Then how will General Chen defeat me now?"

situation?"

"Dong Gong's current strength is that one holds the royal family, and the other holds military provisions. However, Dong Gong does not have many troops. Although he has annexed Guang Luxun's Hu Ben, Yu Lin and other tribes, and the guards are also under Dong Gong's control, today

Regarding the matter in the palace, Duke Dong should know that these soldiers and horses are not sincere in surrendering. If Duke Benchu ​​can make up his mind to seize control of the palace at this time, then justice will be neglected. Even if Duke Dong holds the grain depot, it will not help the matter." Chen Mo.

Said somewhat helplessly.

"Then why are you here?" Dong Zhuo stood up slowly and stretched out his hand to press his sword. Hua Xiong took a step forward to block Chen Mo's retreat.

"It's the same as yesterday, no..." Chen Mo seemed not to have seen it, and sighed: "Benchu ​​Gong has signed and left. No matter how many strategies I have, it won't help if he doesn't use them. Ding Jianyang, a reckless man, and the Bingzhou Army

They are not united. Each of the Xiyuan Army has its subordinates. Without Benchu ​​Gong, no one can gather together again in a short period of time. However, from my perspective, although Ding Jianyang won today, Dong Gong only needs to use military rations to threaten the Bingzhou Army.

He would not be of the same mind as Ding Jianyang, but as soon as Ding Jianyang paid homage to him, Dong Gong merged the troops of Bingzhou, half of Luoyang's troops were captured, and the rest were scattered, making it impossible to achieve anything."

The most helpless thing is that you can see the situation clearly and come up with ways to solve the situation, but you don't have the ability to solve the situation. Chen Mo looked at Dong Zhuo and said with a smile: "If you can give me half a month, maybe you can contact the various troops.

Come and resist, but seeing how vigorous and resolute Dong Gong is, I’m afraid he won’t give me even half a month.”

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, signaling Hua Xiong not to be nervous. He knelt down again, pointed to the seat opposite Li Ru and said, "General Chen, please take your seat."

"Thank you." Chen Mo bowed slightly and sat down calmly.

Li Ru looked at Chen Mo and sighed: "Fortunately, Yuan Benzhu did not stop, otherwise I would have been waiting for him to leave today."

Li Ru was also more able to empathize with Chen Mo's experience. He was full of strategies but couldn't use them. He had experienced the frustration.

"Since the general trend is difficult to change, why bother working hard in vain?" Chen Mo picked up the wine glass and said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo nodded, he also understood that Chen Mo was here to surrender, and he couldn't help but look at Li Ru.

When dealing with such smart people, you'd better not show your heart, otherwise you may end up being deceived out of your pants.

Li Ru nodded calmly, looked at Chen Mo and said, "General Chen, are you willing to hand over your military power?"

Chen Mo nodded and put the military talisman on the table: "I have brought it here. I sincerely come to surrender. Wen You has doubts but he also knows that it is just that the court can no longer withstand any more twists and turns."

Dong Zhuo looked at the military talisman, but did not go to get it. When Li Ru nodded, he smiled and said: "General Chen, there is no need to do this. A general is a general. The lower armies will still be commanded by General Chen."

"Thank you Mr. Dong!" Chen Mo said with a smile.
