"Lord, Zang Hong has arrived." Zhang He strode in at Yuan Shao's camp in Dongjun and saluted Yuan Shao.

"Let him come in." Yuan Shao said softly, looking at Zang Hong who came in from outside the tent with complicated eyes: "Who put the shackles on Ziyuan? He hasn't taken them off yet!"

"No need, Hong is indeed guilty!" Zang Hong stretched out his hand to stop Gao Lan, looked at Yuan Shao and said calmly.

"It's good if Ziyuan can understand his mistake." The expression on Yuan Shao's face softened a lot: "Zhang Chao rebelled against Meng De, which is unjust..."

"Since Mr. Yuan had no intention of sending troops for rescue at that time, why did he delay my rescue for three months?" Zang Hong shook his head and looked at Yuan Shao.

"What I'm doing is to stop you from doing stupid things and die in vain!" Speaking of this, Yuan Shao felt a little depressed. At that time, he used words to hold Zang Hong back, just to stop Zang Hong from doing stupid things impulsively. Who knows?

Zang Hong directly rebelled?

"But Mr. Yuan taught me to break my faith with my old master!" Zang Honglang said: "Today I hang up the shackles and come here. I am indeed ashamed, but it is not because of Mr. Yuan. First, I cannot die with my old master. I am guilty.

The Lord trusts me; secondly, I raised troops rashly and caused countless soldiers in Dongjun to lose their lives for me. I should not have come this time, but should have died fighting in Dongwuyang. Maybe Mr. Yuan was doing it for my own good, but Hong thought that he was born in heaven and earth.

There are things that are more important than life. Although Mr. Yuan saved my life, he trapped me in injustice. This is not what I want."

Yuan Shao's calm expression gradually turned cold: "Then why are you here in shackles today?"

"Bo Dao wrote to me. This matter is indeed extreme. I should not coerce the entire city's soldiers and civilians to fulfill my righteousness. Moreover, this matter is related to the battle between Bo Dao and Yuan Gong. If Hong died here, it would be inevitable.

Another loss of life, which is not what I want. As a Han minister, I can't help the Han Dynasty. As a friend and former official, I can't share the hardships with my friend and former master. What's the use of leaving this disabled body?

?" Zang Hong shook his head and sighed: "I came here today to say goodbye to Mr. Yuan. No matter what, Mr. Yuan finally had the kindness to meet me. If I come here today, it doesn't matter if Mr. Yuan wants to kill me or let me go.

, Hong Jie has no complaints, I have fulfilled my kindness to you and me."

Zhong Yun frowned, looked at Yuan Shao, bowed and said: "Mr. Yuan, my lord misses his mentor very much, and I hope that Gong Yuan can show my lord his filial piety."

Yuan Shao stared at Zang Hong, and Chen Mo nodded for a long time and said: "It doesn't matter, you and I are not on the same road, but Ziyuan, you and your disciple may not be on the same road."

"Don't bother Mr. Yuan to worry about it." Zang Hong said calmly.

"Tell Chen Mo that he has moved a lot of people away from Hanoi. I don't care about him, but the Sima family members still ask him to put them back." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.

Zang Hong couldn't stay, so Chen Mo moved away many people in Hanoi, including many wealthy families, including members of the Sima family.

The Sima family is a prominent family in Hanoi. When Dong Zhuo entered the dynasty, Sima Lang led his clan to move to Liyang on his father's orders and escaped Dong Zhuo's rebellion. The Sima clan is now considered to be under the rule of Yuan Shao, but some of them stayed in their hometown in Hanoi. This

The next time Chen Mo directly moved away a large number of Sima family members, the Sima family was naturally unwilling. Sima Lang ran to Yuan Shao and cried, hoping to get his family back.

Yuan Shao and Sima Fang still have some friendship. Now that Sima Lang has come to cry and complain, Yuan Shao will not sit idly by and just take this opportunity to ask Chen Mo for someone.

Moreover, Chen Mo captured Hanoi and nominally exchanged Hanoi for Zang Hong, but he moved all the people in Hanoi that could be moved. This was a bit ugly, and Yuan Shao was very disgusted!

"I'll bring the conversation later." Zang Hong nodded. As for what Chen Mo would choose, Zang Hong didn't guarantee it.

Yuan Shao did not embarrass Zang Hong anymore, and ordered Gao Lan to lead the troops to escort Zang Hong to Hanoi. After Chen Mo's people picked him up, the contest between the two sides was considered over. As for things in Hanoi, Yuan Shaolai was currently busy dealing with Gongsun Zan. He said that he could only swallow this bitter pill first and wait until Yuan Shao captured Youzhou and sorted out Qingzhou, and then he would settle today's affairs with Chen Mo.

Three days later, Cheng Gao.

Chen Mo took Xu Huang, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, and Yu Sheng out of the city to welcome Zang Hong back.

"Teacher, don't worry. The disciples of my mentor's family have been ordered to welcome them back. Don't worry, mentor. In addition, Zhang Shijun's family members... I have ordered people to go and look for them." Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong, who was looking haggard, and felt a little sad in his heart. Although he was rescued, But now Zang Hong seems to have lost the spirit of the past. In addition, he has lost a lot of weight, and the whole person looks much more depressed.

"Bo Dao thinks he did something wrong as a teacher?" Zang Hong nodded. He was very pleased that his disciple was so considerate in his work.

"Teacher said that there is no big or small righteousness." Chen Mo shook his head. From beginning to end, he never criticized Zang Hong: "The disciple is not very clear about the friendship between the teacher and the envoy. If we look at it from the so-called moral point of view of the majority of people, , the teacher is naturally wrong, but just like what happened with Zhou Yuan back then, the teacher said, don’t persuade others to do good unless they have suffered.”

"Do you still remember him?" Zang Hong nodded when he heard this, and felt a lot more relaxed. If even the people closest to him can't understand him, then this life will be really boring.

"Of course I remember, he is... very similar to me!" Chen Mo nodded. Even after many years, Chen Mo still remembered Zhou Yuan's incident as if he was another himself.

Others are not Zang Hong. Even Chen Mo, as a disciple, has a hard time understanding the friendship between Zang Hong and Zhang Chao. How can he say what is right or wrong? In Chen Mo's letter, he only asked Zang Hong for advice in an exploratory tone. Is it right to ignore the righteousness of others?

If Zang Hong still felt that he was right, Chen Mo would not say anything more and could only wait until the city was defeated before asking Yuan Shao for help.

"This is Chen Rong, whose name is Gongxu. He is from my hometown. He is coming with me this time..." Zang Hong looked at Chen Rong who was coming with him and said, "If Gongxu doesn't want to stay, Bo Dao will not make it difficult for him."

Chen Rong saluted Chen Mo: "Rong is willing to be a small official under the emperor's family. I hope the general will do it."

The envoy here is not Chen Mo, but Zang Hong.

Chen Mo nodded and said: "I have also heard about Mr. Gongxu. He is actually a loyal and righteous man, and a small official has really bent his talents. Since you are willing to obey orders under my mentor, I will arrange an official position for you to assist your mentor." ."

Now that Zang Hong is here, he must be reused. Chen Rong still has some abilities. Chen Mo naturally cannot let him be a small official.

Besides, now Zang Hong is obviously going to work for Chen Mo, and there is no difference between being loyal to Zang Hong and being loyal to Chen Mo.

"Thank you, General!" Chen Rong saluted again.

"Teacher will recuperate in Luoyang for some time first. After his body recovers, he will then set off for Luoyang. I am afraid that the disciple will not be able to go back with the teacher." Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong and said with a smile.

This inspection in Heluo has already wasted a lot of time. This year Guanzhong needs Chen Mo to be in charge. Many things are not perfect. A lot of time has been wasted in Luoyang this time. Chen Mo can no longer stay here to accompany Zang Hong in his cultivation.

"Bo Dao will go on his own, don't abandon the official position for personal reasons!" Zang Hong nodded. As the overlord of the northwest, Chen Mo came to Luoyang for his own affairs this time and wasted a lot of time. It was enough, so let him stay here again. If you stay with me in Luoyang, it's your own problem.

"Shulin, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the teacher." Chen Mo nodded. He has already arranged the affairs in Luoyang. Zhong Yun is now the official He. Nan Yin, Governor of He Luo Government, Xu Huang remains the same. Responsible for the defense of the Heluo land, Yu Sheng was the defender of Hedong, stationed in Aocang and also responsible for Jiguan, while Zhang Xiu led the army to occupy Xingyang and was responsible for the defense of Xingyang.

Zang Hong stayed here to recuperate, and I can give you some advice on some things. After all, Zang Hong's political achievements are there. In Qingzhou for two years, the bandits in Qingzhou were running around, and the people lived in peace. He governed the East County and kept the doors open at night, not to mention the military. If you look at the ability of Zang Hong in governing a local area, you may not be able to find many in the world.

"Here!" Zhong Yun and others bowed in response. No matter in terms of ability or Zang Hong's identity, no one dared to disrespect him.

The incident with Zang Hong came to an end. At the end of May, on the second day after welcoming Zang Hong back, Chen Mo took Jia Xu, Dian Wei and a group of personal guards on the road again and galloped all the way back to Guanzhong. After May, the autumn harvest was about to begin. This year will be the first year that Chen Mo actually collects taxes after he occupied Guanzhong. It will also be the day to test the results of Chen Mo's rule in the past two years. Counties have begun to prepare statistical data for reporting.

Detailed data such as household registration, grain production, and yield per mu. In the past two years, Chen Mo has used manure and grafting to build water conservancy. He also headed by Ma Jun to establish a craftsmanship camp specifically responsible for water conservancy and military equipment. It took an unknown amount of money. How much manpower and material resources will be depends on whether there can be a matching harvest this year, and it can also silence some people who are opposed to Chen Mo's vigorous recruitment of craftsmen, the establishment of specialized craftsman camps, and the use of farmers as farmers and lieutenants.

Of course, the premise is that the data collected by each county this year can be eye-catching enough, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

In the past ten days, when Chen Mo led his people back to Chang'an, the scene in Chang'an had changed slightly. Walking on the streets, there seemed to be more people on the streets of Chang'an. In addition, there were more merchants than before, and even in the streets there were more people. In the market, you can occasionally meet Hu merchants from the Western Regions.

"My lord's move to open a trade route now seems to have indeed brought a lot of convenience." Jia Xu said with emotion as he sat on his horse and looked at the prosperous scene in front of him.

Regardless of Chang'an during the Dong Zhuo period, Li Jue's period, or Guo Si's period, even if the emperor was here at that time, the decline of this majestic city could not be concealed. Especially during the Li Guo period, there were almost no people on the streets of Chang'an City. This scene is now , I’m afraid it dates back several decades.

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all have their own uses, but later generations have read it wrong." Chen Mo nodded and shook his head. Maybe he didn't read it wrong, but was deliberately led to the current interpretation. In fact, he was the one who benefited. , there is no need to completely change it back. If business really flourishes, it may not be a good thing for the world. It is best to have it under control.
