The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Lord, are these thieves crazy?" Dian Wei came into the carriage with blood all over his body.

It has been five days since I left Xiapi. These five days have not been peaceful. Chen Mo encountered three assassinations. The third one in front of me was also the closest to Chen Mo. The assassin killed the waiter who brought Chen Mo food. The waiter was a lame. The assassin In order to get close to Chen Mo, Shengsheng limped his legs. It was obvious that he had planned it in advance and had a thorough understanding of the situation around Chen Mo.

This was a smart assassin, and he was ruthless enough. Before Dian Wei tortured him, he bit off his own tongue. Swallowing his tongue may not necessarily lead to death, but speaking would be impossible, and it would definitely be very painful.

"If I am killed, will you avenge me?" Chen Mo asked instead without answering.

"Absolutely, no, it's impossible. How could the lord die?" Dian Wei responded subconsciously, then shook his head.

"Everyone will die, and I am not a god. Maybe even gods will die." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Everyone has their own beliefs. It may be unwise to do something when you know it is not possible, but you You can't say he is wrong, the world Right and wrong are always relative. To me, these people are naturally wrong, but to the people they want to protect, they are right. Just like Jing Ke assassinated Qin in the past, some people, before coming , has put life and death aside.”

"Uh... Lord, are you saying that they are right?" Dian Wei said blankly.

"Of course not. If they are right, doesn't it mean that I deserve to die?" Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei with a dark face. He was such an adult and was becoming less and less able to speak.

"Then, my lord, what did you just say..." Dian Wei was puzzled.

"If you meet people like this in the future, give them a good time. Why waste all that time if you can solve them with one blow?" Chen Mo shook his head and said: "In this world's disputes, who is right and who is wrong, there are so many threads, there is no need to sort them out, I This expedition to the Central Plains has certainly unified the world, but how many families have been broken up because of me? If we really investigate one by one, maybe their brother Fu's son died in the war, and he came here after being provoked. It’s pitiful and sad.”

As for who is behind the scenes, there is no need to investigate. If we really want to eradicate the roots, I am afraid that chaos will break out in the Central Plains again. When it is really needed, this kind of thing will not be difficult to investigate, and there is no need to even investigate.

"Understood." Dian Wei understood. It seemed that his methods were too bloody and made the lord uncomfortable.

You know shit!

Chen Mo could tell from Dian Wei's eyes that he didn't understand at all, but he didn't bother to explain anymore.

In fact, the assassination he encountered now was secondary. What Chen Mo was really worried about was the safety of his family. Chen Jin was now an official. Although it was secretive, there was no guarantee that it would be hidden from everyone, including Chen Zheng.

He was not worried at home. The guards at home were arranged by Chen Mo himself. It would be more difficult to hurt someone at home than to assassinate Chen Mo.

Except for assassins from time to time, this inspection of Langya went smoothly. In the past, Langya was controlled by Zang Ba, and it was the de facto powerful force in Xuzhou along with the Chen family to the south and north. Sometimes Cao Cao's orders were not given here. Works well.

However, Cao Cao obviously could not let this situation continue. Zang Ba was promoted five times. Although his official position was improved, his military power was continuously diluted during these five promotions. Later, he was directly sent to Pingyuan to preside over Pingyuan. The battle seemed to be on his own, but in fact, Zang Ba's traces in Langya were erased. This invisibly helped Chen Mo, making it much smoother for Chen Mo to take over Xuzhou.

Zhang He is now in charge of the defense of Langya. He has begun to build a large number of forts in the Jiwu Mountain area. A team or a group of villages is located in one place. They are connected with each other by beacon fire. They can support each other and use these forts as units to form a camp step by step. , to contain the enemy forces and wait for the support of the main army. Even from Chen Mo's perspective, he could not find fault with Zhang He's arrangement.

"Jun Yi deserves to be a famous general in the north of Hebei. With such an arrangement, Cao Jun is locked to the south of Jiwu Mountain." After an inspection, Chen Mo summoned Zhang He, who naturally received some praise and encouragement.

As a surrendered general, Zhang He is considered to be relatively outstanding. In the past, Hebei's surrendered generals are now being reused. Apart from the veteran Han Qiong, it is Zhang He. Gao Lan is also not far behind. Now he is serving as a deputy general for Wuyi and is stationed in the Qinghe area. Unlike Han Qiong and Zhang He who can stand alone.

"My lord, I'm so embarrassed that I don't deserve the praise." Zhang He quickly said with his hands in hand.

"I won't say these polite words." Chen Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao has retreated to Qingzhou, most of his troops are gathered here, and his military strength is stronger than before. There are only ten thousand troops here. I'm afraid Not enough, I came here this time, one for inspection, and two, this time with Cao Junyi made a lot of contributions in the decisive battle. Now he has to guard Langya, and he may not be able to return to the court to receive a title. Therefore, he came here this time to bring a reward from the court. This time he was appointed General Anton, and he can expand the army to 20,000. Later, he will Send 10,000 surrendered troops, as for how to practice, that is your business. "

As Chen Mo said this, he signaled Dian Wei to hand Zhang He the seal and ribbon he had prepared.

"Thank you, Lord!" Zhang He quickly thanked him.

"You will be rewarded for your merits. This is what you deserve. In addition, there is also the title of Guan Neihou, which is given to you in advance. In addition, there are thousands of Shu brocades that have been delivered to your home. Of course, if you have anything else If it's useful, I can send someone here." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"My lord... He swears to die to be loyal to my lord. If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!" Zhang He knelt down and knelt down to thank him.

"Get up, Junyi, just remember, I will never treat meritorious officials unfairly. Others say what surrendered generals are like, but what about surrendered generals? How many of my subordinates are not surrendered generals..."

"My lord, I am not!" Dian Wei interrupted.

"Get lost!"

"Yes~"

"Where were you talking about?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Zhang He again. The good atmosphere was interrupted by Dian Wei. Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei's back with a smile: "This fool, Junyi, don't blame me."

"My lord, what are you talking about? General Dian is a true character." Zhang He hurriedly said. Although Dian Wei's official position is not high, he is Chen Mo's guard. Although Chen Mo usually scolds him, who dares to provoke him?

"For the affairs of Langya, Junyi still needs to worry more. Don't worry too much about how many enemies you kill. Everything should be stable." Chen Mo smiled.

Langya is now under pressure from Qingzhou, and Xuzhou provides support for him. As for the pressure from Jiangdong, Guangling has 20,000 elite soldiers from the Chen family, and Jianghuai is guarded by Han Qiong. Even if there is pressure, it can't be pressed here. So although the Cao army poses a great threat to Chen Mo, as long as he controls the strategic points, he believes that Zhang He can help him defend Langya.

"My lord, don't worry. As long as the Cao army doesn't attack now, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, I can defend this area like an iron barrel." Zhang He said solemnly.

From the terrain point of view, Cao Cao is likely to choose Langya as a breakthrough point to leave Qingzhou. This is also the reason why Chen Mo promoted Zhang He and gave him money and manpower.

"If you really can't hold on, you can go to find Han Yugong. Xuzhou should be able to raise some troops. In addition, there are some things that Junyi should pay attention to." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

"My lord, please speak." Zhang He said hurriedly.

"Langya is close to the East China Sea. I heard from my uncle that there are pirates in the East China Sea area occasionally. Junyi should pay attention to it and surrender some if possible." Chen Mo said with a smile.

He is now beginning to pay attention to the navy. He once talked with Lu Bu. Lu Bu had tried to capture Jingxiang several times, but was blocked by the Han River. At that time, Lu Bu said that the navy fought differently from the infantry. Now that the Central Plains has been settled, although it is impossible to start the conquest of Jiangdong immediately, it is time to prepare early.

Train the navy from scratch. Chen Mo has no naval commanders. He plans to surrender some sea pirates on the sea, so that at least the foundation of the navy is there. As for the method of naval warfare, it can be learned in the dream training camp, which is not difficult, but it also requires a few naval commanders. These pirates can gallop on the sea. If a few naval commanders can be found, when he marches south to Jiangdong in the future, he can enter the river from the seaport of Guangling, or even directly attack Wujun, Kuaiji and other places with the navy, attacking from both sides.

Of course, this is just an idea. Now they don't even have a basic navy, let alone fight against the Jiangdong navy that has long been skilled in naval warfare.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll remember it." Zhang He nodded and kept it in mind.

Next, Chen Mo stayed in Langya for a few days before starting his journey back to Suiyang. The matter of Xuzhou has come to an end. Next, he plans to recuperate for two years and wait for an opportunity to break Qingzhou. As a close friend in the past, he believes that Cao Cao will understand him. Only after the unification of the Central Plains can he let go and lay out the layout of the south and Shu. If possible, he hopes that Cao Cao can surrender, but based on his understanding of Cao Cao, this possibility is not great. In this case, let's end the war between the two sides as soon as possible.
