Chapter 122 blocking the way
Xu Shu can be said to be an unexpected surprise for Chen Mo, but for Chen Mo, the most important thing is Guo Jia. After all, Cai Yong admires this person so much, so there must be something special about him.
"Sorry, general, my young master has left." He didn't see Guo Jia, but he saw Guo Jia's boy.
"Oh?" Chen Mo smiled and said, "Have you received the greeting card I sent yesterday?"
"I have received it, but my young master really has something important to do." The boy bowed and said, "In addition, the young master left a letter before he left, saying that no matter who comes to see him, he will keep this letter."
With that said, the boy took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Mo respectfully.
"It seems that your young master knows why I am here today." Chen Mo said, taking the bamboo slips and smiling smoothly.
"I don't know." The boy shook his head.
Chen Mo unfolded the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully. The smile on his face did not change. After reading it, he turned the bamboo slip over, looked at the boy and said, "Can I borrow some pen and ink?"
"Of course." The boy nodded and quickly brought the pen and ink from home to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo thought for a while and wrote down that the world is like a new chess game. Who knows how the world will be established again? After thinking about it, he didn't write anymore. He put down the pen, smiled slightly at the boy, and handed the bamboo slip back to him without saying much.
He turned around and left with Dian Wei and Xu Shu.
"Oh, Yuan Zhi, what did Guo Jia write?" Dian Wei watched Chen Mo leave with a smile on his face, but after following Chen Mo for a long time, he could sense some of Chen Mo's emotions and couldn't help but ask the people around him.
Xu Shu said.
"The general's reputation is too bad, so I don't want to follow him." Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo and sighed.
"Then what did the Lord write?" Dian Wei asked curiously.
"The laws of heaven are unpredictable, and everything in the world is like a chess piece. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but your lord obviously still has something that he has not yet written."
"Why?"
"What if it can't be realized?" Xu Shu glanced at Dian Wei and said, "You can't talk enough and you can't do enough things. Maybe the general thought the latter sentence was too sharp, so he didn't write it."
When doing things between scholars, they generally pay attention to details, especially among celebrities. This is also regarded as etiquette. Dong Zhuo took advantage of this loophole when he came to Beijing and finally took power.
"Then lord, are we still looking for Guo Jia?" Dian Wei asked, looking at Chen Mo's back.
"No need." Chen Mo said with a smile: "With my reputation now, it is probably difficult for me to recruit such talented people."
Guo Jia actually left him a way to solve the current predicament, but Chen Mo thought that his talent and learning ability were no less than others, and he also had his own ideas. Since Guo Jia avoided seeing him, he wouldn't use this strategy.
He can be courteous to the virtuous corporal, but if he doesn't get what he wants, he won't force it. Of course, if Guo Jia is here, he will choose to take him away by force. He can be sure that Guo Jia is indeed outstanding and his level is not low. This kind of person even
It can't be used by me, nor can it be used by others. It's a pity that Guo Jia didn't give himself this opportunity, so Chen Mo could only treat him with courtesy.
"My lord has been serving the imperial court, why is his reputation so bad?" Dian Wei asked dissatisfied.
"This kind of thing is not decided by you and me." Chen Mo shook his head. This time he came to Yangdi, it was not without gain. Xu Shu was quick-thinking, but he had neglected his studies by practicing martial arts in the past. If he could be worshiped by Cai Yong as his
Teacher, if you have studied for a few years, you may not be weaker than Guo Jia.
As for reputation, Chen Mo believes that if Guo Jia is really a genius, reputation will not be a hindrance to him to join him. Most likely, he just doesn't think highly of himself.
He didn't mention the matter anymore. After returning to the government office, he took his personal guards and prepared to leave.
"General, this is your duty. I have been ordered to arrest the fugitive Xu Fu. General, please don't embarrass me." Before leaving the city, Chen Mo was stopped by the Yangdi County Lieutenant again.
"Why did you arrest Xu Fu and stop me?" Chen Mo asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"He is Xu Fu." The county lieutenant pointed to Xu Shu next to Chen Mo.
"This person is a celebrity I recruited in Yangdi this time. His name is Xu Shu, and his abbreviation is Yuan Zhi. If you arrest Xu Fu, what does it have to do with Xu Shu? Get out of the way quickly, don't miss the important event!" Chen Mo waved his hand and said.
"General, Xu Fu is Xu Shu!" the county lieutenant frowned. This man was taken away from him by Chen Mo. Why did he turn against him today?
"Don't joke with me. Xu Shu and I have known each other for a long time. What does it have to do with Xu Fu?" Chen Mo frowned.
"General!" The county lieutenant stopped in front of Chen Mo, his face gradually became serious, and the county guards behind him gradually surrounded him.
"What? You want to fight?" Chen Mo straightened his body and narrowed his eyes.
Without his order, Dian Wei stepped forward and silently held the two iron halberds on his back in his hands. The fifty followers behind him also showed their weapons.
Although the number of people was about the same, these county guards had never seen such a battle, especially Dian Wei, who was guarding Chen Mo, with a ferocious look on his face, like a ferocious beast staring at them, and many of them flinched.
"General, my ambassador, Jun Fenghan, is about to recover. How about waiting for two more days?" The county captain secretly complained. Yesterday, Chen Mo, who was telling people the facts and reasoning with a pleasant face, why did he turn his face today? Are you ready to kill someone?
"There is an emergency in the capital. What's going on? Are you going to interfere with official duties?" Chen Mo frowned.
"No matter what, this person must stay because of his humble duty!" The county lieutenant stopped in front of Chen Mo and said in a deep voice.
He didn't want to keep Xu Shu, but he clearly wanted to keep Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's narrowed eyes were filled with cold light, but the smile on his face became warmer and warmer. He slowly looked forward and said, "Dian Wei!"
"The end is here!" Dian Wei shouted loudly.
"Go forward and kill anyone who stops you! I said so." Chen Mo reined in his horse and said calmly.
"Here!" Dian Wei nodded and walked forward with both halberds in hand, as if he hadn't seen the county captain.
The tiger-like power rushed towards him, and the county captain subconsciously stepped aside. Dian Wei ignored him and walked straight forward. He held a pair of iron halberds in his hands and looked at the county guards around him, as if he was ready to choose someone at any time. As for the violent tiger that was eating, a group of county guards had never seen such a person before. They watched everyone pass by in front of them, but no one dared to move. It was not until Chen Mo's troops left the city gate that the county guard sat down. On the ground, his back was soaked with sweat.
After half a lifetime, this is the first time I have encountered such an evil person.
Then his expression turned bitter. The prefect asked him to try to hold Chen Mo back, but in the end he failed. Now, he didn't know how to explain.
"Stop!" They had just left the city and everyone was preparing to return the same way. Chen Mo waved his hand dejectedly.
"Lord, what's wrong?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid someone will stop us ahead." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Xu Shu on the side nodded and said: "Yes, the county lieutenant behaved quite abnormally just now, as if he wanted to hold back the general."
"What are you afraid of?" Dian Wei grinned and said, "The general is here to protect you."
He pinched his eyebrows and automatically ignored Dian Wei's plan. Chen Mo looked around and suddenly turned his horse's head and said: "It's just that all the heroes are gathering. Let's go to Xingyang and return to Luoyang from Chenggao."
It was clear that someone knew about his arrival and wanted to keep him. Going back would be a trap. There were only so many people around Chen Mo, how could he touch them?
At that moment, the group changed direction and planned to bypass Songshan Mountain, take the Xingyang area, pass through Chenggao, and then return to Luoyang. Although it was troublesome, it was better than safety.
However, Chen Mo and others did not go far away. After leaving Yangzhai and confirming that no one was following them, they stayed on a nearby mountaintop and seized a bandit camp for temporary residence.
Two days later, a troop of about a thousand people surged past the mountain.
"Sun?" From a distance, Chen Mo looked at the opponent's flag, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yuan Gongli really thinks highly of me, and the Jiangdong Tigers have also been sent out."
"The general has been here for two days just to see this person?" Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo in surprise.
"Well, someone is plotting against me. Although I have guessed a few things, I am not sure. How can I rest assured?" Chen Mo nodded.
"Jiangdong Tiger?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo doubtfully.
"Sun Jian, who calls himself Sun Wu, is quite brave and brave in battle. He is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong." Chen Mo looked at the retreating troops and said with a smile.
"Now that this person has arrived, isn't it safe in the rear?" Xu Shu suddenly looked at Chen Mo and said.
"That's true, but I don't want to go back now." Chen Mo looked back at the way he came, nodded, but then shook his head and said: "Dian Wei, send a few smart people to follow, and send people to Xingyang quickly to inform
General Xu Rong, I and I will attack Sun Jian from one front to the other."
"The general wants to..." Xu Shu's heart moved and he looked at Chen Mo and said.
"Since Yuan Shu dares to reach out to me, where are the tigers from Jiangdong who cut off his claws?" Chen Mo looked at the direction in which the troops left and said with a smile: "Tiger meat tastes good, I have to try it again this time!"
After the uncle-nephew incident involving Yuan Wei, the good impression he had on Yuan Shu brothers disappeared. Now when talking about the two of them, Chen Mo would no longer treat them as equals. They are not worthy!
"Here!" Xu Shu didn't say anything. Dian Wei had already loudly agreed that if someone provoked him, then he would go back and do it. Only then was he relieved. He couldn't wait any longer.
"If the general does this, doesn't it damage the morale of the princes?" Xu Shu frowned.
"Morale?" Chen Mo said with some humor: "I just won't kill this person. This Kwantung Allied Forces, Yuan Zhi thinks they can break in? They are no different from Dong Zhuo, it's just that Dong Zhuo did what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
.”
Xu Shu was silent after hearing this. If according to Chen Mo's theory yesterday, this is really the case. King Hongnong was forced to death by the princes. If the princes were really allowed to invade Luoyang, only the princes and not the royal family would benefit.
"The general has so much confidence in Xu Rong?" Xu Shu asked curiously.
Sun Jian is a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. According to Xu Rong, at least he has never heard of Xu Rong's name. Can this unknown person really defeat Sun Jian?
