The Nameless of the Common Clans

The battle on the front line was a bit far away for Xun Yu who was in Suiyang, but Chen Mo's high-profile move to Guandu was hard for Xun Yu to ignore.

"My Lord, I'm afraid Chen Mo's move is aimed at Suiyang." Xun Yu looked at Cao Ang who came to ask for advice, and explained with a sigh. He knew that Cao Ang was quite friendly to Chen Mo, but this was a war between princes. Although Cao Ang was excellent, he sometimes easily brought personal feelings into official affairs. As Cao Cao's almost designated successor, Cao Ang did not do well in this regard.

"Suiyang?" Cao Ang frowned slightly after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xun Yu and said, "The emperor?"

"Yes." Xun Yu nodded. If we talk about intelligence, Cao Ang is the smartest among Cao Cao's sons. He handed a letter to Cao Ang and said, "Yesterday, the governor of Yingchuan sent a message that Wuyi, a general under Chen Mo, led his army out of Dagu Pass and went east along Songshan Mountain."

"But Dagu Pass is 500 miles away from here. Not to mention that Uncle Zixiao is stationed in Yingchuan, even if there are checkpoints along the way, it would be extremely difficult for him to come and take away the emperor." Cao Ang frowned.

"In addition, Lu Bu's troops attacked Runan, and Zixiao has gone to resist." Xun Yu smiled bitterly. Wuyi was obviously not fighting alone. Lu Bu was there to support him, and Chen Mo's troops stationed in Guandu could also rush to help at any time. The Central Plains had no strategic location to defend, and was in a place where four wars were fought. This was also the most difficult point for Cao Cao to compare Chen Mo and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao's biggest problem now is that the emperor cannot cause substantial harm to Chen Mo or Yuan Shao, while Chen Mo and Yuan Shao both covet the emperor. If the two come to attack, Cao Cao will have a hard time defending.

"Even if Wu Yi can kill to Suiyang City, Suiyang also has garrison troops..." Cao Ang wanted to say that it was impossible for Wu Yi to break through Suiyang, but he was silent halfway through his words.

"Wu Yi, is not here to attack the city." Xun Yu smiled and nodded when he saw Cao Ang looking at him, but Xun Yu's smile was inexplicably bitter. Cao Cao's main force was attracted to Zhongmu by Chen Mo. Now even if they want to leave, Chen Mo may not be willing to let them go, so Suiyang can only rely on themselves.

Cao Ang frowned and thought about the officials in the city who might have been sentenced to Cao Cao or had never been loyal to Cao Cao, but after thinking about it, there were many such people in Suiyang City.

"Young Master, you only need to control the army." Xun Yu smiled and comforted Cao Ang when he saw that Cao Ang had a headache.

Cao Ang nodded silently. This was probably the first time he had fought with his uncle, right? Although his uncle did not really go to Suiyang, it was just the emperor... he could not let him go!

Xun You watched Cao Ang say goodbye and leave, but he sighed in his heart. Things were worse than he had imagined. This time, Wuyi invaded, and it could be seen that Cao Cao's control over his rule was far inferior to Chen Mo's. Although there was intelligence from the counties along the way, most of them closed the city to protect themselves. Although there was no evidence, it was likely that someone secretly donated food and grass to Wuyi, otherwise Wuyi's logistics supply would not be so smooth. This was obviously a long-planned plan.

Chen Mo and Cao Cao actually infiltrated each other, but Chen Mo was blocked by the pass. It was impossible for Cao Cao to go deep into Chen Mo's hinterland alone again. Even if there were people planted by Cao Cao under Chen Mo's rule, judging from the intelligence sent by the spies, it would not make much sense for the county magistrates to secretly surrender to Cao Cao. They had no military power at all. Even the county guards were managed by the county government, and the county lieutenants did not obey the county magistrates.

Under Chen Mo's rule, the county magistrates only had the power to govern, and they could only manage the clerks under their door. The rest of the law enforcement was managed by the guards after the county government issued an order. In the county magistrate's office, there were only a dozen county guards waiting for the county magistrate to dispatch them, which suppressed the damage caused by the rebellion of these county magistrates to the maximum extent.

Chen Mo has been perfecting his own system, establishing academies, and promoting the rule of law over the years. Although there is no evidence, Chen Mo can immediately produce enough evidence to bring down whoever he wants to deal with. It seems that there is a hidden force similar to the school affairs office under Chen Mo's command.

Yuan Shao failed to instigate a rebellion in Guanzhong, and the spies arranged by Cao Cao under Chen Mo's rule did not play a big role. In terms of the handling of the land, the number of local gentry private soldiers was greatly limited. Xun Yu guessed that after this war, Chen Mo would further suppress this aspect.

After all, Chang'an gathered tens of thousands of private soldiers overnight. With Chen Mo's current power in Guanzhong, it is justified to use this as an excuse to limit the private soldiers of various mansions.

Thinking carefully about what Chen Mo has done over the years, Xun Yu suddenly discovered that although Chen Mo let Cao Cao take away the emperor, he never gave up the management of the court. Although he was a vassal, the power built by Chen Mo was built on the scale of the court, and it was not based on the Han system, but on the basis of the Han system, Chen Mo built his own court with his own ideas!

Now this power structure has gradually taken shape, so this time, is Chen Mo ready to take the emperor back with a great victory?

Thinking of those idiots who conspired to collude with Chen Mo, Xun Yu felt a strong sense of powerlessness. With Cao Cao, they can at least guarantee some power in their hands, maybe not much, but at least decent, but if they go to Chen Mo, I am afraid that in addition to the false name, even the last decency will be difficult to preserve!

But Xun Yu couldn't wake these people up. Before they really faced it, they could only think of the unhappiness with Cao Cao, and they would not consider what would happen to Chen Mo? Guanzhong today is not the same as Guanzhong six years ago~

"Chen Mo..." Xun Yu lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips. He used to be a child, but now he has become a serious problem, but there is no way. In this world, the only people who have had the opportunity to get rid of Chen Mo are Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao has never had this opportunity, but Dong Zhuo Chen Mo had already passed away before he was aware of the threat, and Yuan Shao... couldn't say anything.

That night, Xun Yu had no intention of sleeping, and in other parts of Suiyang City, there were also surging undercurrents.

"Wu Yi marched at an extremely fast speed. Now he has reached the Jiwu area. It is not far away. Lords, Changling Marquis has promised that as long as we escort His Majesty back to Luoyang, our titles will be restored. Now the Cao thief has been restrained. In Zhongmou, we only need to escort His Majesty out of the city and then join General Wuyi's army. Then there will be no need to worry about the big thing failing and the Cao thieves will not be eliminated." Someone said impassionedly in a remote house.

"Of course we understand, but now the military power in Suiyang is in the hands of the Cao family. Even if we rescue the emperor, how can we get out of the city?" Fu Wan frowned and looked at Dong Chengdao.

"Don't worry too much, we just need to be able to see His Majesty!" Dong Cheng said with a smile. Before Cao Cao left, he took away his military power and gave it to Cao Ang. This made Dong Cheng always hold a grudge.

"Oh?" Fu Wan and others looked at Dong Cheng. Speaking of it, both of them are considered the heads of the country, and their daughters are both concubines of the emperor. There has always been competition for the position of queen, but the power is held by Cao Cao. , it would be meaningless even if the two people won the fight, so they could promote cooperation. At least in terms of helping the emperor escape from Cao Cao's control, the two people's interests were consistent.

"When I supervised the construction of the Suiyang Palace, I left a secret passage in the palace. Brother Fu, do you still remember that a group of craftsmen all died in the Zhaode Palace due to its collapse?" Dong Cheng smiled.

After hearing the words, Fu Wan looked at Dong Cheng and nodded silently. Unexpectedly, Dong Cheng had already prepared for today when he built the Suiyang Palace. No wonder Dong Cheng was dissatisfied when he was sent by Cao Cao to supervise the construction of the palace. , but there was no commotion. After all, when they first came to Suiyang, they still had some weight as relatives of the emperor. It was a bit insulting to be sent by Cao Cao to build the palace.

"As long as we can enter the palace and see the Emperor, we can escort His Majesty out of the palace." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

"But how can we enter the palace to see His Majesty?" A minister frowned.

"Do you still remember how Chen Mo conquered Chang'an?" Dong Cheng said with a smile.

How did Chen Mo conquer Chang'an back then?

Everyone frowned and recalled after hearing this, after all, six years had passed. It seemed that Chen Mo first sent Wu Yi to lure away Li Jue, and then Tai Shi Ci detoured to Feng Yi and attacked Chang'an directly.

"Can you make it clear?" Fu Wan frowned. Among the people, only Dong Cheng had fought in wars and had rich experience in leading troops. They are okay if they read military books, but they basically cannot be relied on to fight. .

"We can follow Chen Mo's plan, and you can gather servants from each house to prepare weapons secretly." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

Fu Wan nodded. To do big things, of course you need soldiers and horses. But then he frowned and said, "Now Xun Yu is super strict on Suiyang. Even if we do this in secret, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape Xun Yu." "

"These men and horses were given to Xun Yu." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

These people are outcasts.

"Oh?" Fu Wan seemed to understand somewhat when he heard the words.

"We have prepared to take His Majesty out of the city and gathered the soldiers and horses in the palace. As long as we can enter the palace, we can send the Emperor out of the city. I have contacted General Wuyi. In the evening three days later, General Wuyi's army will We can wait at the exit of the secret passage. As long as your majesty can enter the secret passage, we will be successful." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

"That's it!" Fu Wan suddenly said: "This matter is related to our success or failure, please don't make any noise."

"General Fu and I will go into the palace tonight and speak to His Majesty. All the gentlemen, please go back and prepare for the big event we are waiting for." Dong Cheng stood up and said.

"Okay!" Everyone stood up, bowed to the two of them, and then left.

After Fu finished saying goodbye to everyone, he saw that Dong Cheng had not moved, and asked doubtfully: "General Dong, when will we enter the palace? My son Fu De is on duty in the palace tonight and can help us meet with His Majesty secretly."

"Don't worry, let me introduce an old friend to Brother Fu first." Dong Cheng did not move, looked at Fu Wan and said with a smile.

"Old friend?" Fu Wan looked at Dong Cheng doubtfully.

Dong Cheng did not explain. He smiled mysteriously, looked at the back hall and said, "Brother Wenhe, the matter has been settled."
