In the early morning, as the sun gradually rose over the horizon, the battle in Chang'an City came to an end.

Outside the collapsed and burned houses, the cries of the people could be heard endlessly. The ground was stained with blood everywhere, and corpses that had not yet been collected could be seen everywhere. The sounds of weapons clashing and fighting could also be heard vaguely. Generally speaking,

, although the sound of fighting is still there, the war should have ended here.

However, the confrontation between the two groups inside Xuanping Gate caused the cloud of war to once again hang over the city.

The Xiliang defeated troops who had been gathered by Zhong Shao and others overnight had now regrouped. Under the command of Huangfu Song, they faintly formed a confrontation with Tai Shici's troops.

Taishi Ci moved the carved bow in his hand, raised his brows slightly, and looked at the Xiliang army gathering on the opposite side. He said nothing as the two men and horses just faced each other.

Huangfusong saw that there were already a lot of people on his side, so he immediately rode his horse to the front of the battle, nodded slightly to Taishi Ci and said: "Thank you, General Taishi, for helping to put down the rebellion. Now the rebellion in Chang'an City has been put to death. According to the rules of the court, the frontier troops have not been allowed to attack."

The imperial edict is issued not to enter the capital without authorization, and General Taishi is also requested to withdraw from Chang'an as soon as possible."

After all, Tai Shici resisted the urge to shoot the opponent, rode his horse to the front of the battle, and said loudly: "The last general has been ordered to attack the city and help the court clear out the rebellion. Before my lord comes, the last general will not leave the city even half a mile."

Step, I am sorry that I will not be able to obey my orders!"

"General Taishi!" Huangfu Song shouted: "The rules of the imperial court are more important, or those of Chen Bingzhou?"

"General, I am a rough man. He only knows how to be loyal to my lord. As for the rules of the court, I don't understand." Tai Shici clasped his fists and said, "General, you can wait until my lord enters the city and inform my lord of the matter. As long as my lord gives the order, I will

Will leave the city immediately."

Wait until Chen Mo comes? Will that still be useful?

Huangfu Song didn't think that Chen Mo would give it up after spending so much effort to capture Chang'an. His face darkened: "So, the general is only loyal to Chen Mo and doesn't respect the emperor?"

"The old general is joking. The emperor is not in Chang'an. Could it be that the old general can already take the emperor's place?" Taishi Ci grinned and asked, he is not a man who follows the rules. At that time, the prefect of Donglai and the governor of Qingzhou sent people to Luoyang to complain at the same time.

, Taishi Ci pretended to be a Luoyang official and defrauded the Qingzhou officials to obtain memorials and destroyed them directly. Therefore, Taishi Ci fled to Liaodong and hid for several years. Now Huangfu Song wanted to scare him with these words, but Taishi Ci was not afraid.

"How presumptuous!" Huangfu Song's face darkened and he said sternly: "I am a high-ranking officer of the current dynasty who has the authority to oversee the world's troops. You are a young general in the border army. How dare you speak to me like this?"

"As far as the general knows, the old general was worshiped as a Taiwei in August last year. However, at the end of last year, a vision appeared in the sky and he had been dismissed. Now I am afraid that he cannot use his power as a Taiwei to say this to the general.

?" Taishi Ci was a bit playful: "Besides, even if the old general worships the Taiwei, the position of Taiwei is actually conferred by Li Jue, Guo Si and others. Since the old general calls him a thief, now he uses Li Jue

The official position is given to suppress the junior general, haha... an old general should not play tricks on the junior general!"

Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes and looked at Taishi Ci, and said solemnly: "So, General Taishi is determined not to retreat!"

"I'm sorry, but I obey!" Taishi Ci said loudly.

Huangfu Song snorted coldly, turned his horse's head and returned to the army, saying coldly: "The three armies are preparing for war!"

Wow~

A group of Xiliang troops quickly broke into formation under the command of their generals.

"Report~"

At this moment, a Xiliang soldier rushed over and saluted Huangfu Song: "General, a large number of Bingzhou troops have appeared outside the city. They have already called for the city gates to be opened, and they are recruiting officers and soldiers from each city gate at this moment."

Huangfu Song's expression changed. A large number of troops were annexed to the state. In other words, Chen Mo had arrived? The ministers also looked a bit sad after hearing this. Chen Mo's army had entered the city. It was obviously impossible to start a war again at this time. He turned around and glanced at Taishi Ci. Huangfu

Song said solemnly: "Everyone returns to camp!"

Looking at the Xiliang army slowly retracting, Taishi Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Huangfu Song had gathered a lot of Xiliang troops. If a fight really broke out, his side would have suffered a lot of losses in a night of fighting. The soldiers

He was even more exhausted. If there was a war, he might not be able to win. Calculating the time, the lord should indeed arrive.

Chen Mo's entry into the city completely announced the end of the war.

Bai Biao, Han Kai, and Bao Geng, under the command of Chen Mo, quickly took over the city's defenders and occupied important places such as the palace and treasury. Chen Mo joined Wang Biao, led the army into the city, and began to arrange for soldiers to clean up the city, put out fires, and organize people to clean up and pick up

Arrive, move the corpses, and at the same time make announcements to appease the people.

"My lord, I'm lucky to have lived up to my command!" Tai Shici quickly joined Chen Mo and clasped his fists at Chen Mo.

"This battle was well fought!" Chen Mo patted Taishi Ci on the shoulder. After Taishi Ci made a plan, he sent someone to tell Chen Mo what happened tonight. Originally, Chen Mo was not in a hurry to leave, but after learning about this, he rushed forward

, marching quickly, finally arrived in Chang'an today, caught up with the finishing work, and promoted Taishi Ci to the rank of captain of the bandit-breaking school. After welcoming the emperor back, he would ask for more rewards for Taishi Ci.

"It all depends on the sacrifice of the soldiers of the three armies!" Taishi Ci said with cupped hands.

"Don't say polite words, do things first, this battle is not over yet." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"One more thing!" Taishi Ci recounted what Huangfu Song and others wanted to expel them from the city.

This incident was within Chen Mo's expectation. When Dong Zhuo entered the court, many courtiers were not willing to let Dong Zhuo enter the court. If Yuan Shao had been as decisive as Huangfu Song at that time, so many things would not have happened.

It's a pity that time has changed. Today's imperial court is no longer the imperial court of the past. Chen Mo is not Dong Zhuo. The most important thing is that there is no emperor in Chang'an City now. Huangfu Song's reason for refusing to allow him to enter Chang'an is untenable. He can only use words.

If so, Chen Mo has never been afraid of anyone.

"I don't want to interfere with this matter anymore. After all, Huangfu Song is a veteran of three dynasties, and we still need to have the respect we deserve. We are not Dong Zhuo, and we have to abide by the rules." Chen Mo said with a smile: "However, you did a good job!"

Tai Shici smiled knowingly. What Chen Mo meant was very simple. We must abide by the rules. We still have to show respect to these ministers, but when it comes to doing things, we still have to do it how we should do it.

"My lord, there is someone outside the door who claims to be my lord's old friend and wants to see my lord." A personal guard came in and saluted Chen Mo.

"Old friend?" Chen Mo nodded and said, "Invite him in."

There are quite a few people in Chang'an City who are Chen Mo's old friends. I don't know who they are.

Soon, a middle-aged scribe came in under the leadership of his personal guards. When he saw the person coming, Chen Mo's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Mr. Literary Master, I had a hard time finding him!"

The person who came was none other than Li Ru. Ever since Dong Zhuo's death, Chen Mo had been sending people to inquire about Li Ru's whereabouts. However, Li Ru was hidden very deep and could not be found. He didn't want to show up here today.

"A down-and-out man, I don't think the general will remember it." Li Ru smiled bitterly and saluted Chen Mo.

"An old friend is an old friend, how can we judge success or failure?" Chen Mo stepped forward, took Li Ru's hand and came to sit on it, and asked him to sit at the same table. Then he pointed at Taishi Ci and said: "This is my general, Donglai Taishi.

Ci is also my old friend."

"General Taishi is both brave and strategic. The battle last night was enough to make the general famous all over the world!" Li Ru nodded slightly.

Taishi Ci said he didn't dare, and at Chen Mo's signal, he knelt down and sat in the lower hand position.

Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and said, "Mr. Wen Yi, I have been looking for you since the death of the grand master."

"Why do you think so highly of a person with no plans?" Li Ru said with a bitter smile.

"If you are all a person without a plan, it's hard to imagine that there is no one in this world who can be considered a person with plans?" Chen Mo said with a smile. Li Ru's ability is very strong. At the time, Dong Zhuo was surrounded by almost all the strategies and internal affairs.

Li Ru was the one who held it together. If we say he is incompetent, then there are very few people in the world who dare to claim to be capable.

Li Ru glanced at Chen Mo. It's hard for others to tell, but Chen Mo's ability is definitely better than his own. When he was in Luoyang, Chen Mo's ability was already good. If we look back from the current results, Chen Mo almost always

Each choice was quite meaningful. He stayed under Dong Zhuo's command and obtained the land east of Hedong. Later, he was sent to the outside world and conquered Bingzhou on his own. Of course, with Chen Mo's background, if he had defected to the Guandong princes, he could have obtained the governor of a county.

But the biggest possibility is in Xuzhou, and it is difficult to be as arbitrary as in Bingzhou.

The most important thing is that Chen Moruo went to Guandong. Chen Mo had no chance to intervene in the chaos in Guanzhong. Maybe the people around Chen Mo didn't feel it, but as a bystander, Li Ru could feel the changes from Chen Mo's entry into Bingzhou to the present attack.

After entering Chang'an, Chen Mo's abilities continued to grow. If Dong Zhuo was still here, last year, Li Ru would have been ready to suggest Dong Zhuo to have Chen Mo operated on.

Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo died, Wang Yun was incompetent, and Li Jue and Guo Si were not the masters of success. Although they started to target Chen Mo with Li Ru's secret suggestion, they were plotted by Chen Mo. Before the war started, their own family was in chaos.

Chen Mo was given the opportunity to take charge of Chang'an. Now that Chen Mo has taken charge of Chang'an, how can Li Jue and Guo Si still have a chance?

The most important thing is that Chen Mo will not be crowned until next year. Most of the princes are already in their thirties or forties today. Chen Mo is too young. This is also an important reason why Li Ru took the initiative to vote. In the long run, Chen Mo is better than anyone else.

The princes along the way have more potential, especially after Chen Mo captured Guanzhong, he had enough strength to join Yuan Shao as the northern overlord.

"I came here today, but I have a gift to give to the envoy." Li Ru calmed down his thoughts and said to Chen Mo.

"Oh?" Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Wen Yi has anything to teach me?"

Li Ru didn't say anything, but just glanced at Tai Shici.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen You, Ziyi is also an old friend of mine, and now he is even more of a confidant."

Taishi Ci was moved and nodded slightly.

Li Ru nodded and no longer hesitated: "Although Li Jue has lost Chang'an now, his cousins ​​Li Ying and Li Huan are still outside confronting Guo Si. If Li Jue joins forces with them, he may join forces with Guo Si again, which will make him

If it is not good for you, Ru is willing to offer these two arrangements to you on your behalf."

"Oh?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up: "I wonder how Mr. Wen Yi wants to help me?"

"You need a strong man to accompany you to persuade the two of them. Ru has many friendships with the generals in the army. If the two agree, it is naturally best. If they do not agree, you can take the opportunity to kill them. Ru can persuade the general in the army to defect to the envoy!"

"Li Ru said with a smile.

"I have the position of Military Advisor Counselor. I wonder if Wen You would be willing to give in?" Chen Mo looked at Li Ru and did not answer, but just asked.

"Ru has wanted to serve my lord for a long time." Li Ru said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Then this matter will be left to the military advisor, Dian Wei!"

"Here!" Dian Wei came in from outside the door.

"You follow the military advisor, Ziyi!" Chen Mo turned to look at Taishi Ci and said, "You lead your troops to accompany you. As for what to do, just follow the military advisor's instructions."
