The Nameless of the Common Clans

After Man Chong left Tianlao, he started the arrest plan. The first person to arrest was Zhi Jinwu. According to Jia Xu, the people he listed on the list were not to be arrested at once, but one a day, preferably one Catch them in the order listed on the page. As for why, Jia Xu didn't say, but Man Chong could probably guess it.

For several days in a row, Tingwei arrested people and imprisoned them almost every day. But in the past, Man Chong was able to produce conclusive evidence when arresting people. This time, although Man Chong also produced a lot of evidence, the evidence was somewhat ambiguous.

Li Ru found Man Chong and frowned: "Bo Ning, why are you so messy at this time? These evidences cannot convict you!"

"I am also following orders." Man Chong's face has always been stern. Even after Chen Mo left the court, Li Ru was the actual controller of the court, and he would not say it pleasantly.

Li Ru was also used to this. In the words of many people, Man Chong was Chen Mo's loyal dog. No one's words would matter except Chen Mo.

"By order?" Li Ru was startled when he heard this: "My lord, has a letter been sent back?"

"It was passed down by Mr. Wen He." Man Chong hesitated for a moment, but still revealed a little. As for where Jia Xu was and how he issued the order, Man Chong didn't say anything, and Li Ru didn't ask any more questions.

"Wenhe?" Li Ru's expression changed upon hearing this, he looked at Man Chong and said, "Tell me what you can tell me."

No matter what he wanted to do, Li Ru couldn't avoid it in Luoyang. He didn't know what Jia Xu was going to do, but he vaguely knew that Chen Mo had a plan when he jailed Jia Xu a few years ago, but he didn't expect this. One conspiracy allowed Jia Xu to hide for so long. Now, many people in the court may have forgotten Jia Xu's existence.

Man Chong nodded: "To arrest people, these evidences were given to me by Mr. Wen He. I just need to arrest them one by one according to these lists."

With that said, he handed the book Jia Xu gave him to Li Ru. Li Ru had a solid foundation and could cooperate when the time came.

Li Ru took the book and looked through it. Among these people, some Li Ru was also paying attention to, and some he didn't notice. For example, the censor Zhongcheng Zhao Shen, a very responsible person, did not expect to be arrested.

But when Li Ru turned to the last page and looked at the name on it, Li Ru couldn't help but gasped: "He wants to arrest him too!?"

"Catch last." Man Chong nodded, his expression unchanged. He didn't know what Jia Xu had planned, but the last token Jia Xu took out must be obeyed absolutely.

"Can I see him?" Li Ru wanted to see Jia Xu. He had to know what Jia Xu was planning.

"I need to ask Yang Qing." Man Chong said after taking the book.

"Ask Yang Qing to come see me." Li Ru said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll convey it to you later!" Man Chong nodded, said goodbye and left.

Afternoon, Tianlao.

Li Ru looked at this stylish cell and suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Ru suddenly wants to go to prison too."

"Wen You's ideas are always so strange." Jia Xu smiled, shook his head, and poured a glass of wine for Li Ru.

"Wen He, you have gained a lot of weight." Li Ru took the wine glass and said sincerely as he looked at Jia Xu, who was fat and looked a bit simple and honest. He was almost unrecognizable.

Jia Xu paused, coughed slightly and said, "If Wen You doesn't come to me, Xu will come to you tomorrow."

"What are you going to do this time?" Li Ru frowned and said, "The war ahead is at a critical moment. If chaos breaks out in Luoyang, it may affect the Lord's cause!"

No matter what you want to do, you should do it after the war is over. It would be unwise to attack at this time, but now you should focus on stability.

"If I don't move, my lord will be left passive." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Last winter, Cao Jun suddenly appeared in Guandu. Someone must have been suspicious at that time, right?"

Li Ru nodded. At that time, Cao Jun took Luoyang's token to defraud the camp, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses quietly ambushing him. Even if Cao Jun could fly, he shouldn't be so unaware in Luoyang. , suddenly appeared in Guandu, tens of thousands of people, not tens of thousands of ants, how could they completely hide their whereabouts?

"I've been checking, and I have some clues." Li Ru nodded and frowned.

"Look at these!" Jia Xu handed a book to Li Ru.

"This is..." Li Ru took the book and asked while flipping through it.

"Since five years ago, there have been records of correspondence between generals and senior officials in Luoyang. It is unknown what happened specifically. However, this book records that many generals suddenly got windfalls and land, including being beheaded by their lord. Han Fu, they are all here." Jia Xu said with a smile.

What he has in his grasp is the huge intelligence network that Chen Mo has spent a lot of effort to build over the years.

Li Ru looked at the lists: Yang Ding, Yang Wei, Zhu Ci...

His face gradually turned pale. Many of these people held important positions. Yang Ding was stationed in Hedong. If he rebelled, he would be able to invade Luoyang at any time.

There is also Yang Wei, who is the guard of Yique Pass. If there is a problem here, Cao Jun may go directly to Luoyang through Yique Pass, but these people have never discovered it! ?

The most important thing is that many of these generals were promoted by Chen Mo, especially Yang Ding, who had contributed to Guanzhong back then, and later joined Chen Mo in the expedition to Guanzhong and Xiliang. He is considered to be a relatively senior one, like Ma Chao. People like Yang Dinglao, Pang De, and Zhang He were not as qualified as Yang Dinglao.

"This Yang Ding..." Li Ru picked up the book and looked at it again, and still looked at Jia Xu in disbelief. Chen Mo treated Yang Ding well. There were some reasons for the others to rebel, but Yang Ding was completely unreasonable.

"People's hearts can change." Jia Xu said leisurely.

"But my lord treats these veterans very well..." Li Ru rubbed his temples.

"Perhaps that's why." Jia Xu sighed: "Not everyone remembers their gratitude, and not everyone can see themselves clearly. Although Yang Ding has merit, his ability is insufficient and he is now relegated to the second line. Lord There was also the intention of letting him enjoy his old age, but unfortunately, he didn’t think so.”

To put it simply, as Chen Mo's territory becomes larger and larger, and there are more and more soldiers and horses, the generals are naturally selected from the best. Therefore, Chen Mo has reused many demoted generals in recent years, such as Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang He, and Han Qiong. , Gao Lan, Zhao Zhao, and those who lacked ability, Chen Mo did not ruthlessly throw them into the cold palace. Generals like Yang Ding who had made meritorious deeds but were no longer capable enough to continue to hold important tasks also had appropriate arrangements.

Yang Ding's arrangement was originally no problem, but Chen Mo now needs a general who can command at least 10,000 troops, or even if he can't, he has enough potential and characteristics like Ma Chao, and Yang Ding's upper limit is three. When it reaches five thousand, it is useless, so it can only be placed in the back to arrange a more comfortable position for retirement. This is no problem, but what Yang Ding sees is that Chen Mo continues to choose new people and leaves him, an old hero, aside. Once the sense of disparity emerged, no matter how well Chen Mo treated him, in Yang Ding's view, it was just Chen Mo trying to make up for his guilt, and it was Chen Mo who felt sorry for him.

Of course, this is Jia Xu's own guess, and it is also the most kind-hearted guess, because apart from this, Yang Ding's choice to cooperate with these people secretly is purely for profit.

"Yang Ding cannot afford to cause trouble, but Yang Wei must deal with it as soon as possible." Li Ru put down the book and frowned: "If Yique Pass is lost, Luoyang will be in danger, and the Lord will be in danger!"

Originally, Chen Mo had already cut off Cao Cao's food supply. As long as he continued to consume at this rate, he was sure of victory. However, if Luoyang failed, Chen Mo would be the one who would be cut off. What's even worse is that although Chen Mo left Gao Shun behind, They captured Luoyang, but there were not many defenders in Luoyang.

"I have secretly ordered Zhang Liao to send a group of troops to take over Yique Pass." Jia Xu smiled and said: "In addition, as far as I know, in the past month, Yang Wei has opened and closed seven times and brought in many caravans. As expected, Not bad, Cao Jun has secretly sneaked into this Heluo land, just waiting for something to happen in the city! "

Li Ru looked a little ugly. These things happened under his nose, which embarrassed him.

"Wen You don't have to worry." Jia Xu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Although my lord's army in Luoyang is not large, doesn't he still have Yang Ding's troops?"

"Who can seize his military power?" Li Ru frowned. Yang Ding was a little troublesome. He had stationed troops in Hedong. He had been deeply entrenched over the years, but it was not easy to seize power from him.

"Just one person is enough." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Oh? Who is it?" Li Ru asked unexpectedly.

"The former governor of Bingzhou, Guo Jian." Jia Xu said with a smile: "I have ordered Guo Jian to secretly go to Hedong with the lord's secret order, take over the military power from Yang Ding, and order Yang Ding to return to Luoyang."

Guo Yao has served as the governor of Yanmen, the governor of Yunzhong, and the governor of Bingzhou. He is quite famous in Bingzhou. If he goes to seize power, at least the Hedong Army will not help Yang Ding, and Guo Yao's ability is more than that of Yang Ding. Yang Ding, who had lost military power, had no qualifications to cause rebellion.

"Have you arranged everything? What should I do?" Li Ru looked at Jia Xu speechlessly.

"Wen You needs to mediate in the affairs of the court. In addition, this prison is comfortable to stay in. Xu doesn't want to go out for the time being. There are some things that cannot be done, so Wen You should do it." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"For example..." Li Ru said amusedly, looking at Jia Xu's honest smiling face.

"The emperor has been moving a lot recently. In order to avoid the distraction of the lord, you can first ask the emperor to go to the cold palace to calm down." Jia Xu said casually.

"Why don't you change it?" Li Ru looked at Jia Xu and asked, Liu Neng was so good at dancing that Li Ru thought about changing the emperor more than once.

"No, changing the emperor would be detrimental to the lord. Just cut off his minions and teach him a lesson. I believe that after this time, the emperor will be much more honest." Jia Xu shook his head. Although he killed the previous emperor, the situation was not the same. Same, last time it was with Cao Cao, this time it was on his own territory. Replacing the emperor so easily would give people the feeling that Chen Mo was disrespectful to the emperor. Now that Chen Mo's reputation is growing, he wants to show his glorious image to the world. At that time, we couldn't have this stain. If we change the emperor... at least not now.

"In that case, I'll leave these things to Wen He." Li Ru stood up. He knew what he should do next. He was responsible for the light and Jia Xu was responsible for the secret. He was responsible for uncovering those who were hiding in the secret. Jia Xu was responsible for uncovering those who were hiding in the secret. Responsible for checking and filling in the gaps. In short, I want to take this opportunity this time to wipe out all the forces that resist Chen Mo in the DPRK. At the same time, I will also give more opportunities for promotion to the officials below. Recently, there are more and more people in the DPRK who only earn salaries and do nothing. The more there are, the more time comes to clean out a batch.
