The Nameless of the Common Clans

Successfully welcoming Cai Yong back is naturally a good thing for Chen Mo. At his current position, he considers issues beyond just personal emotions. The impact of Cai Yong's move to Hedong is not just as simple as eating with multiple people. Cai Yong Although he was a great scholar in the world, his influence in the scholarly world was only comparable to that of Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan, and he was able to attract many scholars.

Furthermore, the academy that Chen Mo has prepared has been presided over by Cai Yong. The reputation of the academy will have a qualitative leap. No matter how talented Chen Mo is, in everyone's opinion, Chen Mo is definitely not as good as Cai Yong in talent and academics. It can attract more outstanding students for Chen Mo. At the same time, Chen Mo has also set rules. This Anyi Academy allows the children of meritorious soldiers to come to study. It is also a benefit that Chen Mo seeks for his own soldiers, and more Contributes to the loyalty of his soldiers.

In fact, it is not accurate to say loyalty. At least in Chen Mo's concept, loyalty is a very general concept. It is a mutual thing. As a monarch, Chen Mo must first seek welfare for his subordinates, so that his subordinates can be loyal to him. Otherwise, what will happen with you? None, why should people be loyal to you?

It sounds a little powerful, but that's the fact. Chen Mo naturally has feelings for Cai Yong. After all, he is his father-in-law, and his daughters are pregnant with the Chen family. Before Cai Yong came back, Chen Mo was more worried about Cai Yong. His safety was in danger, but now that Cai Yong was back safely, Chen Mo naturally began to think about how to maximize the benefits of Cai Yong's stay.

The first thing to do is to publicize this matter and let everyone in the world know that Chen Mo has been expanding the academy in the past few days since Cai Yong came back.

"Lord, the latest news from Chang'an!" Man Chong hurriedly stepped in and saluted Chen Mo.

"Oh? The Xiliang army rebelled?" Chen Mo didn't even raise his head.

"Yes." Man Chong nodded and said, "Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji have jointly led the army to attack Chang'an. Chang'an has sent a messenger to ask for help. We hope that we can help attack Li Jue's troops."

"Yang Ding has agreed to submit to our department, where is Xu Huang?" Chen Mo raised his head and smiled after hearing this.

"We have arrived at Fenglingdu to station troops. We can cross the river at any time." Man Chong bowed.

"Pass my military order and ask Xu Huang to capture Hongnong as the fastest commander, blockade Tongguan, and drive Zhang Ji's remaining troops out of Hongnong. You can go anywhere, but Hongnong is mine now." Chen Mo quickly wrote a general order, Leave it to Man Chongdao.

"Here!" Man Chong bowed and took the general's order, turned around and left.

Chen Mo did not break his promise, he was indeed helping. No matter how Zhang Ji said it, he could be regarded as one of the leading generals of the Xiliang Army. By taking his way out, he was also helping the court in disguise.

"Lord..." Xu Shu, who had been following Chen Mo silently as he watched Man Chong leave, hesitantly said, "As a result, the fortunes of the Han Dynasty are already weak, and this time it may be even worse."

"Yuan Zhi, do you think the Han Dynasty can be saved?" Chen Mo did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Maybe not." Xu Shu thought.

"Let me ask you this, what do you think of my new policy?" Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Xu Shu.

"It has been quite perfected, and it is somewhat similar to Wang Mang's New Deal in the past." Xu Shu said with a smile: "But it is good to implement it in Bingzhou, but I am afraid it will not be able to do it if it is released to the whole world."

Chen Mo's tax law administration indeed borrowed a lot from Wang Mang's New Deal. However, in comparison, Chen Mo was not as eager to leave as Wang Mang. In Bingzhou, Chen Mo was indeed loved by the people because of the new law, but on the other hand, it was just like countless times before. Generally speaking, although this new law is good, it is not easy to implement. It is only suitable for one state and one county. However, if it is to be applied to the whole country, no matter how good your law is, it must be implemented by the executor, otherwise it will be a bad law.

"What is the biggest difficulty?" Chen Mo asked.

"Aristocratic family?" Xu Shu asked.

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded and said: "Dong Zhuo used the new tax law to implement Guanzhong, which actually achieved great results. At this time, I do have the ability to save Chang'an and the emperor, but the implementation of this new tax law will be very difficult, let alone To do this, we need a lot of land, but we don’t have it. The implementation of the New Deal requires a relatively relaxed environment for it to grow.”

Xu Shu understood that his lord wanted to take this opportunity to not only get rid of Wang Yun with the help of Li Jue and Guo Bang, but also to clean up the Long clan. Chen Mo showed up at the right time to tie up the mess. By obtaining the land of Guanzhong, he can still be grateful to the gentleman Guan Longhao, but the price is the loss of the power of the emperor. With Dong Zhuo's previous precedent, Chen Mo can make the remaining families in Guanlong as long as he releases some preferential treatment. Accept Chen Mo’s new policy.

"Actually, originally, as you said, the new law is only suitable for one state and one county, but now, Wang Yun has given me this opportunity." Chen Mo said with a smile: "I don't care who is the master of the world, but if the world wants to avoid If we repeat the same mistakes, we must make changes. New laws may not be the most appropriate, but if the world wants to continue to improve, we must continue to change. Corrections must be in line with the times and people's hearts. How to seek stability amid changes, this is what you and I have to do. "

"My lord's ambition, I respect you in my heart." Xu Shu said solemnly. He came from a poor family, so he naturally understood what Chen Mo meant by the changes. He also understood why Chen Mo put so much effort into establishing the academy. It was to recruit talents from aristocratic families. The phenomenon of monopoly is caught in one's own hands.

Regardless of whether it will be successful or not, Chen Mo's ideas and methods are quite advanced. While everyone is thinking about how to improve the imperial examination system, Chen Mo is already thinking about how to break the shackles of the imperial examination system in recruiting people.

"Let's do it. I haven't even told my father-in-law about this." Chen Mo smiled and said, Xu Shu is the person he likes. Whether it is his identity or the ability he has shown, he will be an indispensable pillar under Chen Mo in the future. , Chen Mo is now taking a lot of effort to train him. He not only studies with Cai Yong, but also stays with Chen Mo to handle government affairs and gain experience when he has nothing to do. This shows that Chen Mo has high expectations for Xu Shu.

"Here!" Xu Shu bowed and understood what Chen Mo meant. He couldn't say this to others, and Chen Mo didn't want to get it done in one step.

Two days later, Xu Huang led his army from Fenglingdu River to invade Hongnong. Zhang Ji's soldiers, horses and their families were all taken away by Zhang Ji. Only Yang Ding was still guarding Tongguan. As soon as Xu Huang led his troops arrived, Yang Ding He surrendered and led Xu Huang's army to attack Hongnong. Chen Mo captured Hongnong almost without a fight, and ordered Xu Huang to garrison in the Hangu Pass area to prevent the Kwantung princes from taking the opportunity to attack. Yang Ding was made a cavalry officer. The captain stationed in Huayin County and blocked all roads in Tongguan area.

…

Chang'an, Situ Mansion.

"Situ Gong, Xu Rong led troops to occupy Beidi County, but did not fight against Li Jue's troops. Li Su was unable to fight alone. Although he fought hard to kill the enemy, he died in the rebel army. Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji , Fan Chou's troops have been united and will arrive in Chang'an soon!" Several ministers hurriedly came to Situ's Mansion and looked at Wang Yun and said loudly.

"Traitor! Rebel!" Wang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Chen Mo? Did he promise to send troops?"

"According to the information sent back by Li Su during his lifetime, Chen Mo has sent troops from Fenglingdu to capture Hongnong, cutting off Zhang Ji's retreat, but he seems to have no intention of advancing further!"

Wang Yun's face darkened, the matter was beyond his control, and he regretted not listening to others' advice. He first pardoned Li Jue and others' crimes and seized military power.

But what happened to Xu Rong?

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" Wang Yun suddenly asked.

"Only the Bingzhou Army led by Lu Bu, the Yulin Army and Huben Zhonglang General are left, with less than 20,000 troops."

"Immediately order Lu Bu to lead the Bingzhou army to fight, and be sure to keep the rebel army out of the city!" Wang Yun shouted sharply.

"Report~" At this moment, a junior high school student suddenly rushed in and hissed at Wang Yun: "Mr. Situ, something bad happened, Lu Bu rebelled!"

"What!?" Wang Yun trembled and looked at the other party in disbelief.

"Just now, Lu Bu suddenly led his army into the location of Yu Lin's army. Ha Lin Zhonglang was beheaded by Lu Bu on the spot. Now he is leading his troops to kill here!" the small colonel said hoarsely.

Boom~

Wang Yun felt his mind explode and he stared at the visitor blankly. Wang Gai, the general of Yulin Zhonglang, was his eldest son. In order to gain more military power, after his family members came back, Wang Yun separated Wang Gai and Wang Jing. He was appointed as General Yulin Zhonglang and General Hu Ben Zhonglang to gain more military power, especially the eldest son Wang Gai, who was the most valued by Wang Yun. Who would have thought that he would be killed by Lu Bu. For a moment, Wang Yun wanted to eat Lu Bu alive. flesh.

At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the distance. Before everyone could react, the door of Situ's Mansion had been violently knocked open. A large number of soldiers swarmed in, led by a general with sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples and a height of nearly ten feet. While looking around, even without any movement or words, it made people feel depressed. At this moment, when he dismounted and walked towards him, everyone was forced by his momentum and unconsciously dispersed.

"Lu Bu, why did you betray me!?" Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu, his eyes were about to burst, he drew his sword in his hand and shouted fiercely.

"When have I ever been loyal to you?" Lu Bu asked.

Wang Yun felt a lump in his chest. Yes, Lu Bu had never been loyal to him, and he had been trying to reduce Lu Bu's military power and even win over Lu Bu's generals.

"Give you something!" Lu Bu waved his hand, and behind him Wei Xu threw three heads at Wang Yun's feet. Wang Yun looked at them and saw the heads of Wang Yun's three sons. In an instant, all the blood on Wang Yun's face disappeared. In my mind, I suddenly remembered the words that Chen Mo asked the primary school to bring back, that the Wang family was rejected because of himself. Now it seemed that it was about to come true. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person became sluggish.

"Lu Bu, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, why are we killing each other?" Zhong Fu frowned.

"I don't want to stay in this place anymore. In this court, whoever is willing to protect you can go. I originally planned to leave, but there is something that makes me so angry that I can't calm down!" Lu Bu looked at Wang Yun and said solemnly: "You kill the grand master?" , if you really have that ability, I have nothing to say, but you use my wife’s innocence to lure me into the game? "Have you ever thought about today?"

"I am for the world..." Wang Yun wanted to say something angrily, but was interrupted by Lu Bu.

"Since it is for the world, I will grant you a favor today and let your whole family be expelled!" Lu Bu waved his hand. Wang Yun's family members, including his two nephews, were all dragged out of the yard. Lu Bu said solemnly: "I If you are not as righteous as you, if anyone touches my family, I will destroy them all."

"Slow down!" Seeing that the soldiers were about to take action, Wang Yun quickly shouted: "Lü Bu, it's no harm to my wife and children! You are also a hero in the world. Wouldn't you make the world laugh at you if you do this?"

"You set the rules!" Under Wang Yun's bloodshot eyes, Lu Bu waved his hand gently, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground with Lu Bu's voice: "You are plotting to kill my wife and children for the sake of the world's righteousness. I am here today to find you." Qiu means being laughed at by everyone in the world? Ha~ When did you ever think highly of me? I told you not to anger the Xiliang army, but you didn't listen. Now that we are approaching the city, you want me to lead the army to fight for you? ”

Lu Bu didn't kill Wang Yun. Anyway, looking at the blood on the ground, he probably wouldn't live long. Let this old man face the Xiliang army. Lu Bu and his men picked up his wife and children and went straight to the city gate... …
