The Nameless of the Common Clans

"My Lord, the latest news!" In Anyi, at the government office, Dian Wei hurried in with a bundle of bamboo slips and placed a large pile of bamboo slips directly on Chen Mo's desk.

Looking at the large bundle of bamboo slips in front of him, Chen Mo smiled and said, "So many?"

"I heard from the messenger that there have been major changes in Chang'an. There have been wars in recent days. There has been news from Dalang that Beidi County has started fighting." Dian Wei grinned.

"It seems to be a big deal!" Chen Mo reached out to untie the rope and distributed the bamboo slips to everyone to read. After selecting important information, Chen Mo also took a part to read.

"On April 18, the Grand Master hosted a banquet for all the ministers at Fengyi Pavilion. After getting drunk, he was killed by Lu Bu and Wang Yun!" Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, Chen Mo frowned slightly: "Lu Bu took the lead?"

"My Lord, Guanzhong is in chaos. Hua Xiong and Lu Bu failed to fight for Chang'an. He carried Dong Zhuo's body and killed Chang'an alone. His whereabouts are unknown!" A clerk said to Chen Mo in a deep voice.

Fool, you are still being calculated!

Chen Mo put down the bamboo paper in his hand and shook his head helplessly. He actually liked Lu Bu very much, but after such a commotion, Lu Bu's relationship with the Xiliang generals would inevitably be like fire and water. Although he didn't know what was going on, Chen Mo was sure that Lu Bu was tricked.

"Wang Yun assisted the emperor in governing and ordered the princes of the world to go to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor?" Li Qing looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Map!" Chen Mo put down his thoughts on Lu Bu and said to everyone in a deep voice.

Soon, two guards brought a frame with a huge map of Guanzhong on it.

Chen Mo came to the map and pointed at it, saying, "Right now, I want to get Guanzhong, but now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it will be difficult for Wang Yun to stabilize the government with his ability. But even so, the emperor is still here, and we cannot offend him. But Guanzhong cannot be in chaos for too long. I cannot give up the livelihood of millions of people, so Tongguan and even Hongnong are the top priorities."

Li Qing bowed and said, "My lord has said before that I have prepared a memorial, and I can directly request the court to say that Guanzhong is in chaos and I am afraid that the Xiliang generals will rebel. Please dispatch troops to Hongnong to clear the world for the court!"

"Very good, immediately send someone to Chang'an as soon as possible, and order Xu Huang's troops to capture Hongnong and Tongguan in the shortest time. Once Tongguan is occupied, the situation in Guanzhong will be under the control of our army!" Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, looked at everyone and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Tang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Tongguan garrison commander Yang Ding, who once worked with the lord Public affairs, lord, this man is now under Zhang Ji's command, but in terms of merit, he is not weak, I am afraid he will be dissatisfied. If we can persuade Yang Ding to defect, it is equivalent to cutting off Hongnong, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort? "

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Yes, this plan is feasible. I have some friendship with Yang Ding. Later, you will take a letter to Tongguan and try to persuade Yang Ding to surrender. Take Tongguan and tell Xu Huang that Zhang Ji can be released, but the people of Hongnong cannot be released now. "

Chen Mo now has 50,000 troops, of which Xihe and Yunzhong need a large number of troops to garrison, Jiguan is a little happy, and the counties need troops to maintain stability and monitor Shangdang. Now Chen Mo can mobilize only 20,000 troops. Tongguan is a strong city. If you want to attack it, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and you have to fight with Zhang Ji, but if you can persuade Yang Ding to surrender, the result will be different.

With Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army was leaderless, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu occupied Chang'an. The Xiliang army was now in civil strife, and it was probably Chen Mo's chance to annex the Xiliang army.

Seeing that no one added anything, Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "Notify the spies in Guanzhong to find out where Hua Xiong is. If there is a chance to contact him, try to persuade Hua Xiong to surrender."

Dong Zhuo did have a lot of talents under his command. There was Li Ru in literature, Hua Xiong in martial arts, and even Lu Bu could be regarded as a general under Dong Zhuo. This time, Chen Mo not only wanted the territory, but also a group of talents that Dong Zhuo could use. Of course, the most important thing was the population of Guanzhong, which was what Chen Mo lacked the most at present.

Chen Mo currently had insufficient troops and could not invade the whole situation. He could only take Hongnong first, and then watch the situation change, and gradually erode the Xiliang generals in Guanzhong. If he wanted to take Guanzhong as soon as possible, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong, who were quite prestigious generals in the Xiliang army, were very important.

"I've already done it." Man Chong nodded. He naturally knew what Chen Mo was thinking.

"Let's take action." Chen Mo stood up and looked at everyone and smiled: "Whether we can quickly expand our army this time depends on you."

"Don't worry, my lord!" Everyone agreed and left, and Chen Mo's governor's mansion began to operate efficiently.

...

"Alas~" Chang'an, outside the palace, looking at the rows of heads outside the palace wall, all of Dong Zhuo's family were beheaded yesterday, including a three-year-old child. Cai Yong couldn't bear to see it, and more of it was unspeakable sadness.

Dong Zhuo may have done a lot of wrong things, but he was related to the fate of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo died, and Wang Yun is now in charge of the government. He is actually no different from Dong Zhuo, but in terms of ability, Wang Yun is not as good as Dong Zhuo.

"Why is Mr. Cai sighing?" Zhong Fu walked up, bowed to Cai Yong, and asked with a smile.

"Dong Zhuo was also a hero. Now that he is dead, what should our Han Dynasty do?" Cai Yong bowed slightly to the heads, which was also a favor to Dong Zhuo. No matter how he came here, Dong Zhuo did maintain enough respect and courtesy to him.

"Now that the situation in Chang'an is under our control, why is Mr. Cai still worried?" Zhong Fu shook his head and smiled.

"Master Zi lacks magnanimity and may find it difficult to manage the court." Cai Yong shook his head and walked straight towards the Situ Mansion.

Zhong Fu shook his head, disapproving. Wang Yun successfully killed Dong Zhuo this time and alienated Lu Bu for his own use. If Dong Zhuo was really more powerful than Wang Yun, how could he be so easily plotted by Wang Yun?

In Situ's mansion, Wang Yun welcomed Cai Yong in with a smile. Cai Yong was invited, so Wang Yun naturally wanted to treat him with courtesy. He was polite at first, but when he talked about Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong couldn't help but sigh.

"Cai Weng!" Wang Yun's face became gloomy, and he looked at Cai Yong and said solemnly: "I respect your reputation, but Dong Zhuo is a national thief, and everyone in the world will punish him. Now he has been punished by heaven and died an unjust death. All people celebrate together. , But Cai Weng sacrificed the righteousness of his family and country for such small righteousness as the kindness of acquaintance, this is a traitor!"

In fact, the two had a personal grudge as early as when they came to Luoyang. At that time, Wang Yun came to invite Cai Yong to their side more than once, but Cai Yong refused and even didn't even meet. In addition, Cai Yong was Chen Mo's The hatred between father-in-law, Wang Yun and Chen Mo can be traced back to Luoyang.

"Master, I'm just speaking out of my own feelings. Is it too much to say this?" Cai Yong frowned and looked at Wang Yun.

"Take it!" Wang Yun waved his hand. Guards had already come in, captured Cai Yong, and ordered him to be imprisoned.

The news that Cai Yong was imprisoned soon reached Cai Mansion.

"Master, what should we do?" Cai Rong, the steward of the Cai Mansion, has been with Cai Yong all his life. No matter whether Cai Yong rises or is demoted, he has always been with Cai Yong. He has been loyal to Cai Yong since he was a scholar until today. Naturally, it was high enough, but when I heard that Cai Yong was imprisoned, I was a little panicked for a while.

Xu Shu frowned and thought for a moment. The charges given by Wang Yun were obviously not enough to convince the public. They were more motivated by revenge. Although he knew that Wang Yun was not a big-time person, he did not expect that his temperament was so narrow-minded. Chen Mo was right there. As for Bingzhou, do you really think that taking control of Chang'an and controlling the court is equivalent to controlling the world?

"Uncle Rong, you immediately set off for Anyi and inform the envoy about this." Xu Shu looked at Cai Rong and said.

"That's right~" Cai Rong nodded quickly after hearing this. His uncle is a big shot and he must have something to do. Then he looked at Xu Shu and said, "Where are you, Master?"

"I will stay here to deal with the situation." Xu Shu said with a smile: "My mentor is a great scholar of the time, and Wang Yun wants to kill him. This is a civil and military dynasty, and the world's scholars may not agree. I stay in Chang'an and try to invite the scholars of Chang'an. The officials interceded for their mentor and gave Chen Shijun enough time."

Since Wang Yun imprisoned Cai Yong so easily, he was naturally prepared and would not let him go easily. Xu Shu's biggest worry was that Wang Yun would act too quickly. He must try to delay time for Chen Mo.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Cai Rong knew that he couldn't help with these matters, so he said goodbye to Xu Shu immediately, took a fast horse and flew towards the east of the river.

Xu Shu headed towards Tianlao. Now Chang'an City has been taken over by Lu Bu's tribe, and all the former Bingzhou Army have now been merged into Lu Bu's command. Chen Mo's face is still of some use here. Xu Shu is going to talk to Cai first Yongtong ventilation.

Early the next morning, during the morning court, a court official presented Cai Yong's dictionaries, apologized to the court, expressed his willingness to be punished, and hoped to continue compiling Hanshu.

Most of the officials in the DPRK had friendship with Cai Yong, and they all came forward to plead for Cai Yong.

"Weng Cai just said it carelessly. Is Situ Gong's move too much?" Liu Xie looked at Wang Yun and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yun said solemnly: "The remnants of Dong's thieves are still there, and Cai Yong misses Dong's thieves. It is inevitable that he will collude with the remnants of Dong's thieves and bring disaster to the country. Your Majesty cannot be as kind as this woman!"

The smile on Liu Xie's face stiffened, and he could clearly feel that Wang Yun's attitude when talking to him was completely different from before. He had felt this feeling in Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, Liu Xie finally realized his situation deeply. Scholars were no different from Dong Zhuo, it was just that they were more high-sounding.

Ma Rixi frowned and said: "Situ, Bo Zhe is an unparalleled talent, and he is familiar with our Han history books. Even if he has made mistakes, he can continue to write Han books. Besides, it would be too much for Bo Zhe to be convicted this time. A bit far-fetched.”

Wang Yun said loudly: "In the past, Emperor Wu and Sima Qian spared their lives. However, after the historical records were written, there were many words that slandered Emperor Wu. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, and when the imperial court is revitalizing, how can we allow treacherous people to stand here?" Above the main hall?"

No matter how the ministers begged him for mercy, Wang Yun just refused and seemed to have killed Cai Yong. Liu Xie, who was sitting in the upper position, suddenly felt that he was a little redundant...
