The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Teacher, are you leaving?" In the government office, Chen Mo looked at Zang Hong speechlessly. He thought he could keep Zang Hong in this way, but he still had to leave. This made Chen Mo a little helpless. He pulled Zang Hong and said, "But what's wrong with my disciple?"

"Bo Dao, you are not young anymore, and you are the leader of a place. Don't be like this!" Zang Hong looked around and looked at Chen Mo, who looked pitiful, speechlessly: "Teacher has already said that I will leave after helping you deal with these things. You don't want your teacher to be assassinated all day long, right?"

During this period, Zang Hong has offended the gentry in Hedong and even Taiyuan. If he doesn't leave, he is really worried that he will be beaten up by a crowd on the road one day.

"I know, but..." Chen Mo sighed, "After parting today, I don't know when we will meet again. I still feel a little..."

"We will meet again." Zang Hong smiled and said, "Bo Dao, you are now the governor of Bingzhou. Although there are only two counties now, with your means, it should not be difficult to take Shangdang, Shangjun, Yanmen and other places."

"Teacher, you are too kind." Chen Mo said modestly.

"As I said before, don't do too much." Zang Hong looked at Chen Mo and smiled, "Leave room for others, and leave some room for yourself."

"Teacher, you have a point this time." Chen Mo asked with a smile, "But about the criminal law?"

"Although the criminal law is a bit radical, you let me do it, so I have left some room." Zang Hong smacked his lips, looking at his young disciple, who is really a man who can do big things. When he gets ruthless, he even uses his teacher: "I have seen Xu Rong."

Since Xu Rong was captured by Chen Mo, Chen Mo did not treat him harshly. He lived in Anyi. Chen Mo arranged a manor for him alone. There were servants and maids in and out. From then on, except for the restricted movement, his treatment was definitely good among the captives.

Chen Mo was not surprised by this. Anyway, the person was already here. In the current situation, even if Yuan Shao knew, he would choose not to know.

"Although Xu Rong is a general of Dong Zhuo, the teacher should know his talent. He is a rare general!" Chen Mo smiled.

"That's why you shouldn't have captured him. Such a great talent should be captured, not imprisoned. I know you have a bet, but has Bodao ever thought that even if Dong Zhuo is defeated one day, Xu Rong will join you as he said. Will he be loyal to you with all his strength? Or can you trust him?" Zang Hong asked with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. He had naturally considered this question. If such a talent is killed, he will naturally be reluctant, but if he is released, if he becomes an enemy in the future, even if Chen Mo has confidence in fighting, facing such a person, Chen Mo dare not say that he will win. Although he may not be willing to fight for him in the future, at least he will not become his enemy. Even if he is lazy, Chen Mo will at least not worry that one day such a person will stand on the opposite side of him.

"I know you have your own plan, but..." Zang Hong bent down and grabbed a handful of dry soil and held it in his hand: "Just like the sand between your fingers, the harder you try, the harder it is to hold it tightly."

As Zang Hong moved, the sand in his hand was constantly squeezed out and drifted away with the wind.

"Thank you for your teachings, I will remember them!" Chen Mo nodded.

"I have already taught you everything I can. Everyone has a different path. I will not force you to follow my path, but you have to walk the road ahead by yourself. No one can help you!" Zang Hong shook his hands, threw away the sand in his hands, touched Chen Mo's head and sighed.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Then the teacher's path is just friendship?" Chen Mo suddenly frowned and asked, "This is a small righteousness!"

"There is no difference between great righteousness and small righteousness. I don't think that great righteousness is much nobler than small righteousness. It's just the inherent evaluation in the hearts of the world." Zang Hong said casually. Zhang Chao may not be as brave and decisive as Chen Mo, but Zhang Chao can entrust his life to him. If you treat me as a national hero, I will return it as a national hero. This is Zang Hong's way.

"Disciple, I will teach you!" Chen Mo sighed. His teacher was actually a little paranoid. Once he made up his mind, he couldn't be pulled back even by nine bulls.

Zang Hong smiled at Chen Mo and said, "Don't come to see me off tomorrow. After all, parting is not easy."

"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded, accompanied Zang Hong around the city, sent Zang Hong back to the guest room, and then went back to the room to rest.

The next morning, before dawn, Zang Hong went out with his bag on his back, but saw someone waiting outside the door.

"Da Lang?" Zang Hong looked at Da Lang standing with a knife in astonishment, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"The master is afraid that the teacher will be assassinated, so he specially ordered you to send the teacher across the river!" Da Lang saluted Zang Hong and said solemnly, "The carriages and soldiers are waiting outside the mansion."

"Sometimes, it's not a good thing for a disciple to be too smart!" Zang Hong shook his head and sighed, feeling that he had no privacy in front of this disciple.

Dalang did not speak either. He was a bit withdrawn. In the past year, he spent most of his time in the army training, practicing martial arts, and studying military tactics, so he spoke even less. Even though Zang Hong had watched him grow up, he could not find any topics to talk about.

Dalang brought two hundred elite soldiers this time, all of whom were brave soldiers in the army, and were specifically responsible for escorting Zang Hong across the river.

The rising sun dispelled the endless darkness. Chen Mo stood at the door and looked in the direction where the carriage left. Suddenly, his shoulders sank, and a pair of bare hands helped Chen Mo put on a cloak.

"Since my husband is reluctant to leave, why don't you see me off in person?" Cai Yan stood behind Chen Mo and asked in confusion.

"Teacher's orders cannot be violated. Parting is sad after all. The teacher doesn't want it, and my husband actually doesn't want to face parting. I don't know when we can see each other after we say goodbye." Chen Mo turned around and took off his cloak and put it on Cai Yan. He smiled and said, "Madam, you were tired last night. Don't get up so early."

Cai Yan blushed and spat softly: "My husband always says such vulgar words."

Chen Mo: "?"

Is that vulgar?

"Go back." Chen Mo waved to Cai Yan and walked towards his mother's room: "My husband is going to Taiyuan in a few days. It may take a long time. My wife needs to pay more attention to matters at home."

"When are you planning to leave, husband?" Cai Yan said with some reluctance. Although Chen Mo often joked about dirty things, it also gave Cai Yan a lot of new experiences. Now that they have just gotten married, they have to break up, so naturally they are reluctant to part, but A man is busy with his career, and as a wife, he cannot be rude to keep her.

"After the bride's visit." Chen Mo said with a smile. The reason why Cai Yong didn't leave was because he wanted to wait until he returned to Chang'an. The situation in Shangdang and other places had already begun to be arranged. Chen Mo was not too anxious. In addition, Yanmen Guards and The prefect has sent people to contact him many times, with the intention of being attached. This can be regarded as a gift left to him by Zang Hong. Zang Min has many old subordinates in Bingzhou.

"I have composed a composition for the music of the military formation. My husband, would you like to listen to it later?"

"Madam, it's better to rest first. It won't be too late to play again in the afternoon."

Although it is still the wedding period, Chen Mo, as the person in charge of the entire Bingzhou, naturally cannot be entangled in the personal affairs of his children all day long. He spent most of the morning in various government offices. This time, the court hoped that Chen Mo could provide money to Chang'an. Salt, this is the most important thing for Chen Mo to master Hedong, especially since the middle of Shu is still in chaos. After Liu Yan entered Shu, he cut off contact with the court, so the court's salt could only be obtained from Hedong.

If Chen Mo refuses, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will not give up. If Chen Mo hadn't occupied Hedong first, Dong Zhuo would have let his confidants come to Hedong.

But Chen Mo is naturally unwilling to offer free sacrifices, but you can't say this clearly. Therefore, although Chen Mo agreed to Dong Zhuo's request to offer salt every year, the two places also exchanged what they had, especially in terms of food. Chen Mo this time However, after complaining to Han Rong for two days, Bingzhou was exhausted, people's livelihood was declining, and a large amount of food was needed for emergency response. Han Rong could not make the decision on behalf of the court, so he just brought a batch of salt back, but would he return the food? No reply yet.

However, Chen Mo estimated that the court would still agree to him. After all, the salt seemed to be a lot, but in fact it was the consumption of the entire Guanzhong for a year. On the contrary, Chen Mo asked for non-governmental exchanges, and Han Rong agreed happily.

In terms of business, not only Guanzhong, but also Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou and even Qingxu Land have reached cooperation in transactions. Of course, this is under the premise that there is no war. If there is a war, the places where we can exchange what we need will shrink. .

Although he promised to study the music with his wife in the afternoon, Chen Mo still failed to go back in the end.

In Xu Rong's courtyard, Xu Rong silently poured a glass of wine for Chen Mo. Seeing that Chen Mo remained silent, Xu Rong couldn't help frowning and asked: "Your Majesty has just had your wedding and is not with your beloved wife at home. How can you think of the future?" here?"

"General Xu, if Dong Zhuo is defeated within five years, will you sincerely serve me?" Chen Mo fumbled with the wine glass and looked up at Xu Rongdao.

"Although the general is not a hero, he still keeps his word." Xu Rongsu said.

"Will you hate me?" Chen Mo was obviously not satisfied with this answer. Xu Rong would be used by Chen Mo because of his faith. Zang Hong's words still had a profound impact on Chen Mo.

"I hate it. The two armies are fighting each other and each has his own unique plot. The loser has no right to ask for anything." Xu Rong shook his head and said.

"In that case..." Chen Mo drank all the wine in his glass, looked at Xu Rong and said, "Then I will ask General Xu to return to Chang'an. When Dong Zhuo is defeated, how about the general coming back to fulfill his promise?"

Xu Rong raised his head and looked at Chen Mo unexpectedly: "Aren't you afraid that your plot will be revealed?"

"Don't be afraid, Mo will still be a minister of the Han Dynasty as long as Dong Gong is alive!" Chen Mo shook his head and smiled. As for these things about him, the court must actually know, but Dong Zhuo has just returned to Chang'an, and what is important at this time is stability. As long as Chen Mo doesn't follow him. Dong Zhuo is facing the enemy. At this time, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to raise troops to attack.

"If it is true as the envoy said, Dong Gong will be defeated one day, but the last general will not want to come back..." Xu Rong looked at Chen Mo and said.

"I know you are dissatisfied." Chen Mo put down the wine glass and looked at Xu Rong seriously: "But I believe in the general as a human being, and if the sword is not sharpened from time to time, it will lose its sharpness. I don't want the general to be useless here!"

"If that's the case, thank you so much, envoy!" Xu Rong stood up and bowed to Chen Mo.

"Leave before I change my mind." Chen Mo pointed to the package he brought: "Here are some documents and some food and coins that you can use on the road."

Xu Rong bowed deeply to Chen Mo, grabbed the package and turned to leave.

Looking at Xu Rong's back, Chen Mo's eyes were a little complicated. It is actually difficult to guess the human heart. Perhaps Xu Rong has already made up his mind that he will vote for Dong Zhuo if he is defeated, but if it takes one or two years, who can say for sure?

Just think of it as...a gamble! I can still afford the gamble!
