The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 204 Road Blockage

Xu Shu was a pleasant surprise for Chen Mo, but Guo Jia was the most important thing to Chen Mo. After all, Cai Yong admired him so much, so he must have something extraordinary.

"Sorry, General, my son has left." He didn't see Guo Jia, but he saw Guo Jia's boy.

"Oh?" Chen Mo smiled and said, "Did you receive the visiting card I sent yesterday?"

"I have received it, but my son has something important to do." The boy bowed and said, "In addition, the son left a letter before leaving, saying that no matter who comes to see him, this letter should be presented."

As he said that, the boy took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Mo respectfully.

"It seems that your son knows why I came today." Chen Mo said as he took the bamboo slip and smiled.

"I don't know." The boy shook his head.

Chen Mo unfolded the bamboo slips and read them carefully, with a smile on his face. After reading them, he turned the bamboo slips over and looked at the boy and said, "Can I borrow the pen and ink?"

"Of course." The boy nodded and quickly brought the pen and ink from home to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo thought about it and wrote that the world is like a new chess game, and who knows when the world will be established again. After thinking about it, he finally didn't write anymore. He put down the pen, smiled at the boy, handed the bamboo slips back to him, and left with Dian Wei and Xu Shu without saying much.

"Hey, Yuanzhi, what did Guo Jia write?" Dian Wei watched Chen Mo leave with a smile on his face, but after being with Chen Mo for a long time, he could more or less sense some of Chen Mo's emotions, and couldn't help asking Xu Shu beside him.

"The general has a bad reputation, and I don't want to follow the general." Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo and sighed.

"What did the lord write again?" Dian Wei asked curiously.

"The way of heaven is unpredictable, and the affairs of the world are like chess. No one can predict what will happen in the future, but your master obviously has something that has not been written down."

"Why?"

"What if it cannot be realized?" Xu Shu glanced at Dian Wei and said, "Don't say too much, don't do too much. Maybe the general felt that the latter sentence was too sharp, so he didn't write it down."

When scholars do things, they usually pay attention to stopping at the right time, especially among celebrities. This is also considered etiquette. Dong Zhuo took advantage of this loophole when he entered the capital and finally gained power.

"Then my lord, do we still need to look for Guo Jia?" Dian Wei asked, looking at Chen Mo's back.

"No need." Chen Mo smiled and said, "Now my reputation, it is probably difficult to recruit these great talents."

Guo Jia actually left him a way to solve the current dilemma, but Chen Mo asked himself that his talent and ability were not inferior to others, and he also had his own ideas. Since Guo Jia avoided him, he would not use this strategy.

He could treat people with courtesy, but if he couldn't get what he wanted, he wouldn't force it. Of course, if Guo Jia was here, he would choose to take him away by force. He was sure that Guo Jia was indeed extraordinary and his level was not low. Even if he couldn't use such a person, he couldn't let others use him. It was a pity that Guo Jia didn't give him this opportunity, so Chen Mo could only treat him with courtesy.

"My lord has been serving the court all the time, so why is his reputation not good?" Dian Wei said dissatisfiedly.

"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-witted, but he practiced martial arts in the past and neglected his studies. If he could worship Cai Yong as his teacher and study for a few years, he might not be weaker than Guo Jia.

As for reputation, Chen Mo believed that if Guo Jia was really a genius, his reputation would not be an obstacle that prevented him from joining him. He probably didn't think highly of him.

He didn't mention it anymore. After returning to the government office, he took his personal guards and prepared to leave.

"General, it is my duty to arrest the fugitive Xu Fu. Please do not embarrass me." Before leaving the city, Chen Mo was stopped by the Yangdi County Lieutenant.

"You arrested Xu Fu, why are you stopping me?" Chen Mo said with a puzzled look.

"He is Xu Fu." The county lieutenant pointed at Xu Shu beside Chen Mo.

"This man is a famous scholar I recruited in Yangdi this time. His name is Xu Shu, and his courtesy name is Yuanzhi. You arrested Xu Fu, what does Xu Shu have to do with him? Get out of the way quickly, don't miss the big thing!" Chen Mo waved his hand and said.

"General, Xu Fu is Xu Shu!" The county lieutenant frowned. This man was taken away by Chen Mo from his men. Why did he turn his face against him today?

"Don't joke with me. Xu Shu and I have known each other for a long time. What does he 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? Want to fight?" Chen Mo straightened up 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 scene before, especially Dian Wei who was guarding in front of Chen Mo. His ferocious look was like a beast staring at them, and many people retreated.

"General, my envoy's cold is almost healed. How about waiting for two more days?" The county lieutenant secretly complained. Chen Mo, who was still explaining the facts and reasoning with people yesterday, with a pleasant face, why did he turn his face today and look like he was going to kill someone?

"There is an urgent matter in the capital. What? Are you going to interfere with official business?" Chen Mo frowned.

"No matter what, it is my duty to stay!" The county lieutenant stopped in front of Chen Mo and said in a deep voice.

It's not that he wants to keep Xu Shu, it's obviously that he wants to keep Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's narrowed eyes flashed with cold light, but the smile on his face became warmer and warmer. He slowly looked forward and said, "Dian Wei!"

"I am here!" Dian Wei shouted.

"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. The violent tiger that eats , 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 wasn't until Chen Mo's troops left the city gate that the county guard sat down on the ground. There were already people behind him. Soaked in 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!" Just after leaving the city, 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 doubtfully.

"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 brows and automatically ignored Dian Wei's plan. He 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 prepared 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 the nearby hilltop 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 something, I am not sure. How can I rest assured?" Chen Mo nodded.

"Jiangdong Tiger?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo doubtfully.

"Sun Jian, after calling himself Sun Wu, he 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 is here, 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: "Dianwei, send a few smart people to follow, and send people to Xingyang quickly to inform General Xu Rong, the two of us attack Sun Jian from behind."

"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 can I chop off his claws? Jiangdong tiger?" Chen Mo looked at the direction where the men and horses left and smiled: "Tiger meat tastes good, I have to try it again this time!"

After the incident between uncle and nephew 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. Only then did he feel 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?

"I don't have a close relationship with Xu Rong, so I don't know what his abilities are, but I have some confidence in myself." Chen Mo got on his horse and said with a smile, "Let's see how I kill the tiger!"
