Chapter 126 Dong Zhuo moves the capital

"Woo~"

Chen Mo and his party had just arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang. The distant city of Luoyang came into view faintly, and the sudden sound of horns in the distance made Chen Mo and others' expressions change.

"Lord, this is our horn!" Dian Wei turned to look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's army has its own trumpet sound, three long and one short, which are used to assemble when an emergency occurs. Generally, no one dares to blow it without Chen Mo present, which means that something big has happened.

"Sound the horn, go over and take a look!" Chen Mo nodded and did not go into the city. He led his men and horses directly towards the direction where the horn sounded.

At the Hedong Army camp, Bao Geng had a bloody knife mark on his face, and blood was oozing out. Yu Sheng, Bai Piao, and Han Kai had already gathered their troops, but they didn't see Chen Mo, but Bao Geng. He couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Old Bao, why are you sounding the horn? What's the matter with your injury?" Among the three generals, Yu Sheng was the most familiar with Bao Geng. Seeing Bao Geng's appearance, he frowned and asked.

"Everyone!" Bao Geng knelt down silently.

"What are you doing?" Yu Sheng and the others hurriedly stepped forward to support Bao Geng.

"I know that it is a violation of military discipline for Lord Wu to sound the trumpet today, but there are thieves who destroyed my home, harmed my father and brother, and drove away my people. They are still lingering among my people. I can't swallow this breath, so I sound the trumpet without authorization. I sincerely ask all brothers to help me rescue my family. Bao Geng will never forget this kindness!" Bao Geng did not get up and stubbornly knelt on the ground.

Yu Sheng frowned when he heard this and said, "You got up first to speak. What happened?"

Han Kai also said: "My lord is not in Luoyang now, and we can't decide on the dispatch of troops and horses!"

Bao Geng gritted his teeth, and when he was about to speak, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded in the distance. Yu Sheng and others looked happy when they heard the sound, and looked at Bao Geng and said: "When the lord returns, report this to the lord, and the lord will definitely do something for him." You decide!"

"Yeah!" Bao Geng quickly got up and looked into the distance, seeing a group of people galloping towards this side.

When the first person appeared in his sight, Bao Geng's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he rushed forward and said: "My lord~"

"What happened? Why did you sound the horn to assemble the troops?" Chen Mo dismounted, supported Bao Geng, and frowned.

"My lord!" Bao Geng choked for a moment and said hoarsely: "I have been taking a few days off to go back to my hometown to accompany my parents, wife and children. I was fine. Yesterday, Hu Zhen suddenly led his army over and said that he wanted us to move to Chang'an. Without saying much, he robbed and chased people away as soon as they entered the village. At the end of the argument with him, he ordered his men to beat him up. Our family has been settled in Yanshi for a hundred years, and now we are suddenly required to move. How can we still return? I wanted to seize the property in the village, so I naturally didn't want to. Many of my clansmen were killed. The general was so angry that he came to ask for help. In desperation, he gathered his tribe without permission from the lord."

"It is a serious crime to mobilize troops without my orders." Chen Mo frowned, looked at Bao Geng and said: "But there is a reason for the matter, and it is understandable. I will solve the matter, but this military punishment must be made up for afterwards, otherwise I will go to If everyone in the future assembles an army without my order, how can I lead the army?"

"Here, how will my lord punish me? It will be the death of the general, and the general will not complain at all!" Bao Geng stood up quickly and said.

"Also, Hu Zhen just went to your village?" Chen Mo nodded and motioned for the troops to assemble.

Bao Geng nodded, and Yu Sheng on the side said: "My lord, I don't know, but Hu Zhen was ordered to station troops in Yang Renju, Liang County. He was originally going to attack Yuan Shu, but he was defeated by Sun Jian and suffered a lot of losses. In recent days, there has been news that my lord The news of Sun Jian's execution has been used by many people to cancel Hu Zhen. He has been provoking us and others in recent days. Old Bao has a fierce personality and has had several conflicts with him. With today's situation, I am afraid that Hu Zhen is acting for personal gain. !”

"Hey~" Chen Mo shook his head when he heard this and said: "This is the only amount of potential you can have, let's go and meet him!"

"Here!"

At that moment, the group gathered their troops and headed straight to Baozhuang.

Baozhuang is south of Yanshi, close to Luoshui, about thirty miles away from Luoyang. Chen Mo and others marched in a hurry, and arrived in less than half a day. They saw Hu Zhen leading the troops and driving the villagers out.

"General Hu, what do you mean?" Chen Mo rode up to Hu Zhen and said with a fist in his arms.

"Chen Mo?" Hu Zhen frowned and looked at Chen Mo, then saluted and said, "According to the order of the Grand Master, the people of Heluo were moved to Guanzhong."

Relocation?

Chen Mo frowned. Hu Zhen was so unscrupulous. He must have had such an order. At this point, it was not easy to quarrel with him. He pointed to the supplies they had taken from behind and said, "Including plundering people's property?"

"This is our Xiliang rule. This is how we handle things." Hu Zhen had a smile on his face.

"But this is Luoyang, there is no such thing. Come, help General Hu and return the people's wealth!" Chen Mo waved his hand, and Bao Geng rushed forward with his people.

"How outrageous!" Hu Zhen was furious when he saw this: "Let's see who dares!"

"Whoever stops him will be killed!" Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Hu Zhen, grinning and said: "Although General Hu acted according to the order, it was only Mo Naihe. Nan Yin, you were ordered to move without incident, but I am the one who robbed the property privately.

It’s a matter of course, General Hu, do you want to discuss the laws of the Han Dynasty with me?”

Hu Zhen's face turned dark and he was quarreling. He would definitely not be able to fight Chen Mo. Seeing that Hu Zhen was silent, the soldiers under his command did not dare to stop him and allowed Bao Geng to take away the property.

"These people are members of my general's clan, so they should be escorted by my general. General Hu, can you give me a penny?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"If I don't give it, how will you treat me?" Hu Zhen snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

"No?" Chen Mo looked around with a smile, then looked at Hu Zhen again. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He silently picked up the long bow in his hand, and his eyes became cold and stern: "Try it."

Ever since he acquired a pair of eagle eyes in a dream, Chen Mo has been learning to restrain himself in order to prevent others from thinking that his gaze is unkind, but now when he glares at people without concealing it, his gaze is like a knife, making people dare not look directly at them.

.

Even a veteran like Hu Zhen, faced with the overwhelming momentum of Chen Mo, felt a little flustered for no reason and did not dare to look at him.

"General Hu, I just said this to you because you and I are ministers in the same palace and don't want to quarrel with each other. But if you want to embarrass me, then although Chen Mo is young, he will not give up. Each of us takes a step back. You and I

It's better to meet in the future, otherwise, the grand master will protect you today, but he can't protect you forever. If the general feels that I, Chen Mo, are no threat, he can have a face-to-face fight today to see who wins?

"Chen Mo glanced at the Xiliang army who was entangled with Bao Geng and others, and said coldly.

As soon as Chen Mo said these words, Yu Sheng and others behind him quickly formed a formation, with swords and guns raised, as if they were ready to take action at any time.

Hu Zhen looked at Chen Mo with a gloomy expression. He might not be able to defeat him. There would be no benefit if he won, and it would be more embarrassing if he lost. It would be like confirming his statement that he was not as good as Chen Mo.

After his expression changed for a long time, Bao Geng finally snorted coldly and said: "I won't argue with you today and withdraw my troops!"

It can be regarded as surrendering to Chen Mo.

Seeing Hu Zhen leading his troops away, Chen Mo frowned, called Yu Sheng over and said, "Is there really an edict from the imperial court to relocate people?"

"It is true." Yu Sheng nodded and said, "Luoyang has begun to relocate residents."

"Bao Geng." Chen Mo frowned.

"The general is here!" Bao Geng bowed and said.

"Don't move back. I'm afraid the relocation is now a foregone conclusion. Let your people go towards Pingjin and send someone to notify Gao Shun to move them there. I will go back to the court and ask Dong Zhuo to take charge of this matter." , you bring people to support you along the way, and move all the people who can be moved to Luoyang, and I, the general of Pingjin, will try to clear the way." Chen Mo looked at Bao Geng and said.

"The last general will take your orders!" Bao Geng quickly agreed.

"The rest of them will return to their respective departments immediately. They are not allowed to move without my order!" Chen Mo looked at the other three generals and said.

"Here!"

Now that Dong Zhuo has decided to move the capital, it is not something Chen Mo can reverse. Chen Mo doesn't want to make fearless efforts anymore. What he is thinking about now is how to get more people to Hedong during this migration. Although Hedong has a large population, But if they want to annex Bingzhou in the future, there won't be much of a population there. Dong Zhuo's migration now is also an opportunity for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo quickly returned to Luoyang with Dian Wei and others.

In Luoyang City, the people had begun to migrate. The army broke into every house and drove people away directly. The methods were rough and no better than what Hu Zhen had done before. The whole of Luoyang was filled with groans.

Chen Mo took Dian Wei and Xu Shu and ran all the way back to Zang Mansion. The people living here were all dignitaries, but the Xiliang army did not dare to go too far.

"Husband!" Yun Si couldn't help crying with joy when he saw Chen Mo. Luoyang City had been in chaos these past few days, and Chen Mo was away. Yun Si and others were a little panicked. Now that they saw Chen Mo back, their troubled hearts calmed down.

"Nothing!" Chen Mo looked at the manager of the Zang Mansion, then looked at Yun Si and said, "Take some time to clean up, and I will send you to Hedong later. Someone will take care of you when you get there."

This time, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the relocation of people in Luoyang, I could take the opportunity to send Yun Si and Juan'er to Hedong. In this way, I would have no worries at all.

"Let your husband make the decision!" Yun Si nodded and said obediently.

After Chen Mo comforted them for a few more words, he ordered Dian Wei to lead people to escort them to Pingjin. He had already sent someone to notify Dalang to take care of them. By the time they arrived in Pingjin, they would be basically safe.

After finishing all this, Chen Mo just went to the Grand Master's Mansion to meet Dong Zhuo, first to give orders, and secondly, to see what Dong Zhuo meant. Moving the capital at this time was actually not a good choice for Dong Zhuo. , which is tantamount to showing weakness to the princes of Guandong, but in fact, Dong Zhuo actually has the upper hand in the current situation.

"You don't know something. Now our army seems to be strong, but the supply of food and grass is already insufficient. We have retreated to Guanzhong. We only need to block Hangu Pass and the bandits from Guandong will not be able to enter again." Dong Zhuo responded to Chen Mo's performance during this period. He was very satisfied, especially because Chen Mo cooperated with Xu Rong to kill Sun Jian, which greatly reduced the morale of Yuan Shu's side, so Dong Zhuo is still very polite to Chen Mo now.

"The Grand Master plans to move the capital, and I have no objection to it. However, along the way, the officers and soldiers have been too rough to move the people. I would like to ask the Grand Master to hand over the matter to me, so as to reduce the harm to the people!" Chen Mo bowed. road.

"That's fine." Dong Zhuo thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "It just so happens that you also serve as He Nan Yin. This matter is also your responsibility, so I'll leave it to you."
