"General Chen, thank you for your candid words." After the dynasty ended, Chen Mo met Yuan Wei's uncle and nephew who were being escorted away outside the palace gate. Yuan Wei's somewhat stooped body gave Chen Mo a slight salute.

"The Tutor's words are serious, but the general may not be able to change anything." Chen Mo sighed and returned the gesture to Yuan Wei.

The princes are ready to attack Luoyang, but will Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu withdraw from the alliance because of Yuan Wei's uncle and nephew? In the past, Chen Mo thought that no matter what, family ties should come first, but now... he has lost confidence in this.

"The situation has been decided. Of all the ministers in the court, only General Chen is willing to speak out against the trend. I would like to thank General Chen for this." Yuan Wei shook his head and said.

Chen Mo didn't know what to say. The palace captain on the side was already urging him. Chen Mo could only salute Yuan Wei's uncle and nephew and watch them leave.

"Don't look at it." Cai Yong came behind Chen Mo at some point. Looking at the direction Yuan Kai left, he sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Yuan family has given up on Ci Yang."

"Mo knows." Chen Mo nodded. When someone in the court brought this matter up, he understood. He turned 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 Zhongying sent General Xu Rong to garrison in Xingyang. How do you think this battle will be won?"

"I don't know." Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "Mo has never even seen Xu Rong, so how do you know what his abilities are? My mentor, I'm going to Yangdi."

"Going now?" Cai Yong asked with a frown.

"Well, if it takes longer, I'm afraid the war will get 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 go to Bingzhou in the future, there will be a shortage, so Chen Mo plans to go there first.

Let's see if Guo Jia recommended by Cai Yong is willing to join him. In addition, he has written to Chen Deng that he has acquired the land east of Hedong, so he hopes that Chen Deng will recommend some talents to him.

He is very satisfied with being pampered, but being pampered is not enough.

"Okay, I will give you a letter of recommendation. Also, at this time, you'd better tell Dong Zhuo to avoid Dong Zhuo becoming suspicious." Cai Yong nodded.

"What Mr. Bojie said is absolutely true." Chen Mo nodded, said goodbye to Cai Yong, and turned to the Grand Master.

…

"Chen Mo?" Dong Zhuo heard that Chen Mo came to see him and was a little confused. If something happened, why didn't he tell the court? After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Let him in."

Soon, Chen Mo, led by the Grand Master's guards, came to the main hall, saw Dong Zhuo, and bowed down.

"The last general, Chen Mo, is here to see the Grand Master." Chen Mo said with a salute.

"If General Chen comes to plead for Yuan Taifu's uncle and nephew, don't say anything." Dong Chong stretched out his hand to help Chen Mo, indicating that Chen Mo didn't need to be polite.

"That's not the case." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Although I think the Taifu is innocent, if the rebels are stubborn, this move can indeed scare the princes."

"Then why are you here?" Dong Zhuo asked doubtfully.

"I heard silently that Yuan Shu was stationing troops in Luyang." Chen Mo bowed to Dong Zhuo and said: "If he goes up the Ying River, he can reach Yique Pass directly. Moreover, I will suspect that the Yingchuan area has colluded with Yuan Shu, so I think

Go and investigate. If Yingchuan has not surrendered, the general will think that we can set up an army of soldiers and horses in the area of ​​Yingchuan. If Yuan Shu leads his army to attack, we can threaten his food routes and rear and cut off his return route."

"Then what if Yingchuan has surrendered secretly?" Dong Zhuo frowned and asked.

"Then not only Yique Pass must be defended, but also Luhun Pass, Xuanmen Pass, Xuanyuan Pass, and Dagu Pass must be guarded with caution." Chen Mo frowned and said: "Yique Pass is a tall city and difficult to capture, but these four passes are not.

As strong as Yique Pass, it will not only divert a lot of troops, but also extend our army's front line. If Yingchuan is still in the hands of the imperial court, Yuan Shu will not dare to rush northward even if he has enough troops."

Dong Zhuo frowned and nodded when he heard this: "What General Chen said is quite reasonable, but how many troops do you need?"

"Not too many. The general thinks that one team is enough. This time we are going to investigate, and we may have to negotiate. If we bring too many soldiers and horses, it will make Yingchuan wary." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"That's fine." Dong Zhuo thought carefully, nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Then thank you General Chen. You can lead a team of troops to Yingchuan to investigate. If Yingchuan County is unwilling to accept the imperial edict,

, you should put self-preservation first and never show off your strength."

At least in terms of behavior, Chen Mo was much more reliable than those scholars. He had been doing practical things since he joined Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo had alienated him, he had never been dissatisfied.

"General, I will retire." After receiving Dong Zhuo's order, Chen Mo bowed to Dong Zhuo and bowed to retire.

After leaving Grand Master, Chen Mo directly took Dian Wei and his bodyguards and mounted their horses and left the city, all the way to Yique Pass. At Yique Pass, he exchanged seals with the guard to pass the pass, and then went straight to Yangdi.

Yangzhai is an ancient city. According to historical records, Yangzhai was the capital of Dayu. It was also the capital of Korea during the Warring States Period. It is a capital with a long history and is now the seat of Yingchuan County.

Although the Central Plains was raging with war, Yangdi did not seem to be troubled by it. When Chen Mo arrived at Yangdi after a long journey, it seemed that this city had a strange power that made people feel peaceful.

"Lord, why do you feel so uncomfortable here?" Compared to Chen Mo's enjoyment, the atmosphere in Yangdi was very uncomfortable for Dian Wei.

"Read more and you will enjoy this place." Chen Mo gave Dian Wei a funny look and said, "Let's go, I'll visit the wise people today. Don't be rude when you meet them later."

"Don't worry, my lord. During the many years that Dian Wei has been with your lord, have you ever seen me rude?" Dian Wei said, patting his chest.

"I mean, don't stare at people randomly!" Chen Mo said with a headache when he saw Dian Wei glaring at a passing scholar until the scholar bowed his head and left.

"He glared at me first!" Dian Wei said a little dissatisfied.

"Then don't look." Chen Mo glared at him and said.

Dian Wei was a little speechless, but when he saw Chen Mo's stern look, he could only nod in agreement. Following Chen Mo, he saw a county guard rushing towards him in front of him, about to surround everyone.

"How presumptuous!" Dian Wei stepped forward and kicked the county captain down before he could speak.

This time, Chen Mo did not stop him. He went straight to the other party, showed his seal and ribbon and said, "I am the emperor of Guang Luxun and He Nanyin. I came here under the imperial edict. What do you mean?"

"I heard that a group of thieves appeared in the city. I was worried about someone disturbing Yangzhai, so I came here to check." The county lieutenant said a little aggrievedly as Dian Wei stepped on him.

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 conquer Dong Zhuo, Yingchuan County came with a duplicitous attitude. Chen Mo entered the city with his troops. Yingchuan County

The county magistrate wanted to drive the other party out in this way. Who knew that there was such a ruthless person beside Chen Mo. He took action without saying a word. Dian Wei had to hold back his strength. Otherwise, whether the county magistrate could speak now would be a question.

question.

"Where is your Majesty?" Chen Mo asked, waving his hand to Dian Wei to let him go.

"Your Majesty has caught a cold during this period and is resting at home." The county captain stood up and covered his chest, but he did not dare to be disrespectful to Chen Mo.

"What about Jun Cheng?" Chen Mo asked again.

"I went out to visit friends and haven't returned yet."

"Forget it, I will stay in the government office for a few days until you recover." Chen Mo did not go to Guo Jia immediately. He understood the attitude of the Yingchuan prefect and did not stop him.

I don't want to disobey the imperial court, but I avoid it, which means I want to keep a distance from the imperial court so that neither side can offend.

The county lieutenant rubbed his chest and saluted Chen Mo: "The final general cannot make the decision."

"You don't need to make the decision, I'm here under the orders!" Chen Mo shook his head and said with a smile, "Just do your own thing."

"General, farewell!" The county captain was speechless, but Chen Mo was an envoy from the imperial court, and he was really not qualified to take care of Chen Mo, so he had to bow and salute.

"Lord, aren't we here to visit Xian?" Dian Wei couldn't help but ask when he saw the county captain leaving.

"How about you speak louder? Let everyone know?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and smiled.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Dian Wei chose to shut up. Every time Chen Mo showed such a smile, he felt uncomfortable all over. It would be better if Chen Mo kicked his feet.

"It's already late now. Let's go to the government office first. There are rules for visiting people. I've never seen them before. I don't go there in the afternoon or evening." Chen Mo went straight to the government office with his entourage, preparing to stay here for a while.

Late at night, as for staying at the inn...he was in a hurry, so he didn't bring much money with him, so he would just save what he could.

But when he went to the government office, he saw a group of county guards tying up a man and sending him to the prison.

Chen Mo had no intention of getting involved in this kind of thing. He just thought that the prisoner was quite popular. He took a closer look and found that although his luck was low, his destiny was 70.

The reason why a prisoner has such a high destiny cannot be because of his status, but because of his talent and learning.

"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 a general is high, but..." the county lieutenant frowned and looked at Chen Mo.

"I know." Chen Mo nodded, came to the prisoner, and looked carefully. He was about the same age as himself, maybe only one or two years older than himself. He had a chivalrous spirit, clear eyes, and smiled immediately.

He said, "I don't think this man looks like a bad person. What did he do?"

"This man's name is Xu Fu. He is a ranger from Changshe. He once killed famous people in Changshe. After being arrested and escaping, he fled here to study and was exposed." The county captain bowed and said.

"Since he is guilty of murder, leave it to me. I will take him back to Luoyang for interrogation." Chen Mo looked at this man and saw that he was silent, so he nodded.

"General, this is against the rules." The county lieutenant frowned.

"According to the criminal law, if someone kills a person locally and escapes after being arrested, the crime will be increased to one level. These are extremely vicious people. They should be reported to the court by the county government, and then the court will issue a sea arrest document. After arrest, they will be handed over directly to the court.

The imperial court punishes him. Since he fled from Changshe and came here, according to the criminal law, he should be handed over to the imperial court for punishment. What's wrong with the rules?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Uh..." The county lieutenant was dumbfounded. Even if he was on duty, who could recite Han Dynasty criminal laws?

"As a county captain, you don't even understand the criminal laws of the Han Dynasty?" Chen Mo frowned.

"Of course I understand. What the general said is right, but this matter should be reported to the envoy." The county lieutenant quickly shook his head to show that he understood.

"It just so happens that I have to wait for him, so I will leave him at my place first. After I meet with your envoy, I will make it clear to him." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Don't worry, he is here with me.

Can't run away."
