All in all, Chen Mo had only been away from Luoyang for more than two months, but when he came to Luoyang again, he felt different.

The city was still the same city, but the troops patrolling the streets hid. Chen Mo and his men were stopped outside the city.

"The Governor of Hedong, Lieutenant of Sili School Chen Mo, was ordered to lead his army back to the capital." Chen Mo sat on his horse and looked at the general in front of him and said, "But I don't know when the Governor returned to Luoyang?"

Niu Fu bowed his hand towards Chen Mo and sighed: "General, don't be surprised. Wu Qiong assassinated the grand master some time ago. The grand master has ordered the whole city to be under martial law. The general can naturally enter, but these soldiers and horses..."

"Understood." Chen Mo nodded when he heard the words, turned to look at the crowd and said: "Bao Geng, Yu Sheng, Bai Piao, Han Kai, Yu Fuluo, you and others are stationed outside the city with their troops. After I enter the city and see the emperor, , if you don't care anymore, Dian Wei will come with me."

"Here!" The four generals took the order and each led their troops to push away the city and prepare to set up camp.

Chen Mo then walked side by side with Niu Fu and said, "I heard that Han Sui of Xiliang and Ma Teng also participated in this rebellion. How come the Protector is in Luoyang?"

"It was the Grand Master who called for them. As for Han Sui and Ma Teng, they had secretly accepted the Grand Master's reward and went to conquer the Qiang people. This time the thieves were powerful and the capital did not have enough troops, so they recruited Xiliang soldiers and horses." Niu Fu sighed. After taking a breath, he looked at Chen Mo's retreating soldiers and horses and said, "General, have you brought all the soldiers and horses?"

"The Grand Master gave me the right to recruit. I recruited two thousand soldiers in the east of Hedong, and persuaded Yu Fuluo to join me. There are still two thousand new soldiers stationed in the land east of Hedong and in Hebei. Even if the princes want to attack, it will not be easy. And it can protect Pingjin from the flanks, and the Mengjin area will not be disturbed." Chen Mo said with a smile as he rode his horse into the city.

"I've heard for a long time that General Chen is an outstanding strategist. You should have thought carefully about this matter." Niu Fu nodded and led Chen Mo away while sighing: "Unlike those Luoyang scholars, the Grand Master usually treats them well, but now The rebels in Guandong have just raised their troops and want to assassinate the Grand Master. They really deserve to be killed."

"Is Grand Master okay?" Chen Mo asked.

"I suffered some skin injuries." A flash of anger flashed in Niu Fu's eyes: "If Lu Bu hadn't been there at that time, Wu Qiong would have almost succeeded."

Dong Zhuo valued Wu Qiong, Shi Sunrui, Zhou Se, Zheng Tai and others. Chen Mo was the first to surrender to Dong Zhuo, but was later squeezed out. However, these people were deeply respected by Dong Zhuo. In the end, they not only persuaded Dong Zhuo to give After learning the identities of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, almost all the state pastors and governors recommended at the time have turned against them. Wu Qiong even directly assassinated Dong Zhuo, which made these people under Dong Zhuo feel betrayed.

"What about these people?" Chen Mo looked at Niu Fu and asked.

"Wu Qiong, Zhou se has been executed by everyone!" Niu Fu snorted coldly.

"What a pity." Chen Mo sighed.

"What do you mean?" Niu Fu frowned and looked at Chen Mo.

"If these people don't kill, they should be able to find other people. Didn't Mr. Wen Xiang stop this?" Chen Mo didn't pay attention to Niu Fu's suspicious eyes. It was indeed a pity. He can guarantee that Wang Yun can't be traced in this matter. Regardless of the relationship, killing Wu Qiong and Zhou Se is just killing two shrimps. The real mastermind has not yet appeared.

"Wen You suffered from a cold and has been bedridden for the past few days. He was not here at the time." Niu Fu shook his head when he heard this: "His body has always been weak, but General Chen does not need to worry. Now our Xiliang soldiers are gathered in Luoyang, Guandong Although there are many rats, our army has a strong pass to defend, and who will be defeated in the end?"

Chen Mo nodded and didn't say anything more. He didn't know the situation in Luoyang now, so it was inconvenient to talk nonsense.

Under the leadership of Niu Fu, Chen Mo first went to pay homage to the emperor and then went to the Taishi Mansion to see Dong Zhuo.

"General Chen Mo, please see the Grand Master." Chen Mo bowed to Dong Zhuo, glanced at Lu Bu beside Dong Zhuo, and nodded slightly.

"Alas" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo with complicated eyes and sighed: "At the beginning, I thought that the scholars could be won over, so I put down my attitude and made friends with them. Who would have thought that these people are not only ungrateful, but also plot to harm me, General Chen

, you were the first to surrender to me, but in the end I alienated you and trusted those people, have you ever hated me?"

"It's understandable. After all, if the Grand Master wants to stabilize the situation, he must have the support of the scholars all over the world. In the eyes of many people, the last general betrayed the scholars." Chen Mo nodded and said: "If we say that there is no resentment at all, the last general also has no resentment at all.

If you are not a sage, it is impossible, but if the Han Dynasty can prosper, personal honor and disgrace are not important."

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile, stroking his hands: "I know these things, General Chen also knows them, but it's a pity that this Luoyang scholar doesn't know them. How sad."

Maybe it's not that I don't know, but I just don't want to know. Chen Mo doesn't believe that no one in Luoyang can see it, but some people can't change anything even if they see it, and some people who have the ability to change can also see it, but they can't.

Being unwilling to change has led to the situation we are in today.

"I know that when King Hongnong died, you were very dissatisfied, but you didn't say anything again. At that time, I knew that you were discouraged. However, this time the court is in trouble, and you are willing to do your best, it means that you still have this big man in your heart.

I wonder if General Chen has any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo and asked.

"It's not difficult to defeat the enemy." Chen Mo nodded and said, "To be honest, my master also wrote to the last general, inviting me to fight against the grand master."

Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo and said nothing.

"But it may be difficult for the Kwantung Allied Forces to succeed this time." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Mo with interest and said, "Why do you see that?"

"General, I heard that this time the Kwantung Allied Forces have dozens of towns. They seem to be huge, but I dare to ask the Grand Master, are there any of these people who have had gaps in the past?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Of course there is." Dong Zhuo replied without thinking.

"If the coalition forces can win all the way, they will be unstoppable, but if their offensive is blocked, it may be difficult to unite." Chen Mo thought: "There is Chenggao Jiancheng in Luoyang, and the princes from Guandong are attacking, who is willing to work hard to make wedding clothes for others?

Chen Mo smiled and asked, "Who will lead the princes?"

Dong Zhuo touched his chin and nodded: "What General Chen said is good, continue."

"Even if the Grand Master does not contribute any force and cannot attack for a long time, there will be chaos within. If the Grand Master uses the name of the Emperor to win over some princes, then the Kwantung Allied Forces will be a joke." Chen Mo cupped his hands at Dong Zhuo and said: "

If the Grand Master is willing, I will be willing to garrison Xingyang for the Grand Master to block the Kwantung Allied Forces."

Xingyang is an important place for the current Dong Zhuo, but its location is also quite dangerous. Once Chenggao is defeated, Xingyang will become an isolated city. As for why Chen Mo chose this place, firstly, it is to gain Dong Zhuo's trust and seek for

He was in a higher position, and secondly, he knew that Dong Zhuo would not allow him to guard this place.

Dong Zhuo nodded, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Chen has just returned from begging for thieves, and he was sent to the battlefield again. Even though General Chen is devoted to serving the country, I am afraid that Duke Bojie will blame me. I heard that you and Cai Weng's daughter have made an appointment."

Got married?"

"Exactly, but I haven't got my mother's consent yet." Chen Mo nodded. At this time, his mother was still in Xuzhou. With the war in turmoil, it was impossible for him to bring his mother to Luoyang, a place where everything was right and wrong.

"Go and see Duke Bojie first." Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "As for the marriage, if you are in a hurry, you can get married first. How about I perform the wedding for you?"

"Marriage matters still require the presence of the mother." Chen Mo apologized. He was not very urgent about the marriage. He just wanted to take a concubine. How could he get married without his mother's presence?

"Forget it, after this war is over, we will bring your mother to Luoyang, just in time to use your happy event to wash away the resentment in this city!" Dong Zhuo nodded. The concept of filial piety first has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Chen Mo

Dong Zhuo was not surprised to reject Dong Zhuo in this way. He thought about it and said: "As for the reward for your battle in Hedong this time, the court will decide tomorrow."

"In that case, if there is nothing important to do, I will leave first." Chen Mo stood up and cupped his hands.

"Fengxian, go and see off General Chen on my behalf!" Dong Zhuo nodded.

"Here!" Lu Bu bowed after hearing this, and then left the hall side by side with Chen Mo.

"What are your plans when you come back this time?" After leaving the lobby, Lu Bu looked at Chen Mo and asked.

Because of Chen Mo's guidance, his relationship with the Xiliang generals is not bad now. Chen Mo can clearly feel that this man is no longer as aloof as before.

"For meritorious service, you will be promoted." Chen Mo stretched his muscles and smiled and said, "This time the princes are rebelling, it is just the right time for them to show off their talents."

"You are only sixteen now." Lu Bu shook his head.

"The former champion was as old as me. He had traveled thousands of miles and made great achievements." Chen Mo heard this and said: "I don't want to be as successful as the champion, but I don't want to live a mediocre life. If I could do it again,

Isn’t it wonderful?”

Lu Bu also had a look of fascination flashing in his eyes, sealing the wolf as Xu was definitely a fatal temptation for a general.

"With you?" Soon, Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Mo and said with an arrogant smile: "Even if that day comes, it should be someone."

Chen Mo glanced at him, shook his head, and had already arrived at the door of the mansion. He saluted Lu Bu and said, "There are some things that cannot be justified. Although the general is the bravest of all three armies, fighting a war is not a matter of one person."

"We will wait and see. When this war is over, I will ask the Grand Master to send troops." Lu Bu sneered.

"Now the imperial court does not have that much money and food to support a Northern Expedition." Chen Mo heard this and said speechlessly: "Do you know how much food a Northern Expedition costs?"

"There is always a chance." Lu Bu snorted coldly, not wanting to answer this question. The more money and food, the better, but he really didn't know how much he would need.

"Don't give it away." Chen Mo smiled, said no more, said goodbye to Lu Bu, and went straight back to Zang Mansion.

Yun Si had already received the news that Chen Mo was back and had ordered people to boil hot water for Chen Mo to catch the wind.

Although the situation is getting worse and worse, there are some things that even if you try hard, you may not be able to achieve. Since he has a clear conscience, Chen Mo will not worry about it. He has not touched a woman for more than two months. This night, there are countless lingering feelings.
