After going to court, Chen Mo did not return home. Although a small farewell was better than a wedding, for Chen Mo, there were many bigger things than these.

In the quiet Luoyang prison, Jia Xu seemed to have gained some weight, and it became a little difficult to kneel down on the straw mat.

"Wen He can feel free to do as he pleases. This is not a government office and there is no need to be restrained." Chen Mo twisted a broad bean from the bowl and brought it to his mouth. Looking at Jia Xu's awkward look, he said with some humor: "On weekdays

It’s best to move around more.”

"My lord, it's funny." Jia Xu moved his butt with great effort, and the friendly smile on his face seemed to never disappear: "My lord, it seems that you are disappointed?"

"Indeed." Chen Mo nodded: "I thought those people would be a little brave, but now it seems that I looked down on them."

"My lord is mobilizing troops and horses back and forth during this northern expedition. Luoyang troops and horses are coming in and out. They are false and true. This empty city plan is so sophisticated that no one notices it." Jia Xu sighed. Chen Mo sent troops to Jizhou and Luoyang this time.

Troops and horses were mobilized frequently, but in fact, it was often just like Dong Zhuo's bluff. The same troops went out at night and came in during the day. Chen Mo actually mobilized only 70,000 troops to conquer Jizhou this time, but the momentum created was impressive.

It feels like an army of 200,000 marching out on an expedition, and there is a feeling that there are enough troops around Luoyang.

"But there are many wise men in Luoyang City." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"No matter how smart a person is, if he falls into the crowd, he will be forgotten by everyone. If a wise person wants to do something, there will be many people who will stop him. What they want is a perfect strategy, but the Lord should know that there is nothing in this world.

A perfect strategy?" Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Yes, many times, opportunities are fleeting." Chen Mo nodded, just like Yuan Shao back then. He had several opportunities to stop Dong Zhuo and take charge of Luoyang himself, but these opportunities were destroyed by Yuan Shao's concerns.

A group of wise men may not be able to accomplish anything big if they get together. It takes someone with enough vision and courage to take charge of the overall situation. Only then can there be a chance. Obviously, Luoyang has remained empty in the three years since Chen Mo left Luoyang.

, these people failed to achieve anything, which shows that there is no one with enough courage among them.

Of course, even if there were, Chen Mo would just withdraw from Jizhou like Cao Cao. Since he had laid out this empty city plan, there was naturally a way out for the plan to be discovered. However, with the blessing of the gods of the system, no one could see through it.

"When are you going out?" Chen Mo looked at Jia Xu and said, "Can't we always stay here?"

Jia Xu's ability is a bit wasted if he stays here all the time.

"I think this place is very good, and I enjoy it very much." Jia Xu shook his head, not to be polite, but because he really liked the feeling of hiding in the dark and observing everything quietly: "But there is one thing that I need to ask my lord for help."

"It's okay to say it, Wen He." Chen Mo said with a smile: "I have three sons. The youngest son Jia Ji is still young and cannot be reused, but the eldest son Jia Mu and the second son Jia Fang have both reached the age of officialdom and still have some ability. If the lord doesn't mind

The two of them are despicable, so they can be made to follow the lord."

No matter whether Chen Mo doubted Jia Xu or not, what Jia Xu was holding now was too important, a complete intelligence agency that was free from politics. Although Chen Mo had never shown doubts or made any demands, but now

Today, Jia Xu has too much control, and he knows when to show his loyalty to Chen Mo.

"The son of Wen He is definitely not a mediocre person." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Tomorrow, let's ask them to come to the General's Mansion to report on their duties. As for where they will be arranged, we have to see."

Going to the General's Mansion to work as a clerk under Chen Mo is naturally not a high position, but as long as he has the ability, Chen Mo will definitely arrange appropriate positions. As the son of Jia Xu, as long as Jia Xu does not make mistakes, the future of these two sons will never be the same.

Too bad.

"Thank you, Lord." Jia Xu took a sip of wine and smiled.

"If you want to come out, come out. No one here will stop you." Chen Mo stood up, looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back. Come back another day."

"Xu Gong sends your lord off." Jia Xu stood up to see him off.

"Walking more. If I go out in the future, I'm afraid that my husband won't be able to sit down on his knees." Looking at Jia Xu's chubby figure, Chen Mo said with amusement.

"Definitely." Jia Xu nodded.

Outside the prison, facing the cold wind, Chen Mo tightened his tight clothes and looked up at the sky: "Let's go."

"Lord, where are you going?" Dian Wei asked as he helped Chen Mo get into the carriage.

"Go home, it's going to snow. Next year may be a good year!" Chen Mo got into the car and smiled to the outside of the car.

"My lord said it was a good year, so it must be." Dian Wei nodded affirmatively, his confidence seemed to be more than that of Chen Mo.

"You haven't learned any other skills here, but you have learned 10% of the skills of flattering." The carriage started to move slowly, Chen Mo leaned on the carriage, looked out the window and smiled: "Man'er should be back recently, right?

.”

"Come on, my lord, you miss your son, right?" Dian Wei nodded and said with a grin.

"Of course I thought about it. We haven't seen each other for three years, and I don't know how tall Jin'er is now." Chen Mo nodded.

"My lord, you always keep a straight face every time we meet." Dian Wei said in surprise.

"Have you ever heard of Father Yan?" Chen Mo asked back.

"I heard that I am the brat in my family who gets beaten every time we meet." Dian Wei said with a smile.

"This is not the same thing. You have to be reasonable and convince him. If he is not convinced, how can that be done?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"It was fine before, but after he entered the academy, his talk became more and more vicious. Later, I made a rule with him. When he can win against me, he can reason with me." Dian Wei hummed.

Chen Mo heard this and was speechless.

The carriage went all the way back to the General's Mansion. Chen Mo got out of the carriage, asked Dian Wei to rest by himself, and went straight back to the backyard.

"Husband~" At home, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi were talking to each other. When they saw Chen Mo come in, they quickly stood up. Juan'er and Diao Chan who were waiting on the side quickly removed Chen Mo's cloak.

"There is no need for these false etiquette at home." Chen Mo waved his hand, sat down, took Cai Yan's hand and said, "What did Madam say to Zhen Mi?"

"It's nothing important, just talking about some poetry." Cai Yan said with a smile.

Chen Mo has five women now. Yun Si and Juan'er are of low background after all. Although they communicate with each other on weekdays, even Yun Si, who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, sometimes can't keep up with Cai Yan's knowledge. This thing

It is not enough to study, you must have enough knowledge and vision. In this regard, Yun Si and Diao Chan cannot compare, let alone Juan'er.

Now that Zhen Mi has entered the family, the Zhen family is a wealthy family in Jizhou. Zhen Mi has also been influenced by poetry and calligraphy since childhood. Her knowledge may not be as proficient as Cai Yan's, but her knowledge is not bad, and she has more to say with Cai Yan.

The house was peaceful, and Chen Mo was also happy. He casually chatted with the two girls about the poems that had appeared in recent years, and commented on them. Time passed very quickly, until the sky darkened, and Chen Mo took his wife and concubines to his mother's place for dinner.

He took Cai Yan and Yun Si back to the room. Although a short break was better than a wedding, he and Cai Yan hadn't seen each other for three years. Now that he was back, he naturally wanted to spend more time with his wife.

With the return of Chen Mo, people in Luoyang gradually regained their peace.

Although many people were dissatisfied with Chen Mo's various new laws, when Chen Mo was in Luoyang, no one felt anything. But it has been three years since Chen Mo left. Although the Luoyang court has been operating stably, people still feel in their hearts.

Something is missing. Now that Chen Mo's class has returned to the court, no matter what kind of thoughts he has for Chen Mo, his hanging heart has finally dropped into despair.

With Chen Mo's return, the General's Mansion began to get back on track. Li Ru and Xu Shu also returned to the General's Mansion to work. Although they now have their own offices, Chen Mo will still work in Luoyang when he is in Luoyang.

Chen Mo works here. If anything happens, he can discuss it with Chen Mo in time.

"After Cao Cao returned to Luoyang, he began to establish military camps in the Runan area. I heard that the past two years have been quite effective. It seems that Cao Mengde has been actively preparing for war." Xu Shu told Chen Mo some of the intelligence he picked out over the past two years.

.

The fire in Liyang dealt a huge blow to Cao Cao, causing him to lose the qualification to compete with Chen Mo for the title of Jizhou. Although he barely managed to capture the two counties of Qinghe and Bohai, that was all. After Chen Mo defeated Yuan Shang in Jizhou,

In the past two years, Cao Cao has basically been using various means to accumulate military supplies. There must be a battle between Chen and Cao to determine the status of the overlord of the Central Plains. Chen Mo has already taken the advantage in Jizhou, so Cao Cao is now actively preparing for the war.

Chen Mo nodded. He had been keeping a close eye on the news from Cao Cao. He knew about it, and now he was also beginning to make arrangements for the Central Plains.

"Where is Nanyang?" Chen Mo asked.

Although Lu Bu did say that if Chen Mo captured Jizhou, Lu Bu would be willing to surrender, this was a verbal agreement after all and could not be guaranteed.

"In the past two years, Nanyang has not taken any action except for a conflict with Liu Biao. After the thousand-year-old lord Jizhou won the victory, Lu Bu submitted a memorial and was willing to be transferred to the border area. However, the lord was not there at the time, and the imperial court was fully attacking.

The attack on Jizhou was unable to make sufficient arrangements in Nanyang in a short period of time, so it was never really possible to take over. Now that the lord has returned to the court in triumph, I think that the matter of taking over Nanyang can also be carried out." Xu Shu said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded. If it succeeds, Nanyang general Chen Mo will be the first territory to be captured without war, and Lu Bu will be the first prince to surrender to Chen Mo. Compared with the land of Nanyang, Lu Bu's surrender has greater significance.

After looking at Li Ru and then at Xu Shu, Chen Mo said with a smile: "Then for this trip to Nanyang, let's go from Yuanzhi. Tell Fengxian that Zhang Liao will stay with me."

Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's first general. Judging from his record over the years, Zhang Liao has the talent of a general. Chen Mo and Cao Cao compete for the Central Plains. Nanyang falls under Chen Mo's command. There are advantages and disadvantages. The biggest problem is that both Jingzhou and Shuzhong can be used.

Send troops directly to Chen Mo. When the time comes, Nanyang must be guarded by a general. Chen Mo thinks Zhang Liao is good.
