The war on the front line was a bit far away for Xun Yu who was in Suiyang, but Chen Mo moved troops to Guandu with great fanfare, and it was difficult for Xun Yu to ignore it.

"My eldest son, I am afraid that Chen Mo's move is intended for Suiyang." Xun Yu looked at Cao Ang who came to ask for advice, sighed and explained that he knew that Cao Ang was quite friendly towards Chen Mo, but this was a war between princes.

Although Cao Ang is excellent, he sometimes tends to bring his personal feelings into official affairs. As Cao Cao is almost the designated successor, Cao Ang is not outstanding in this regard.

"Suiyang?" Cao Ang frowned slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xun Yu and said, "Emperor?"

"Yes." Xun Yu nodded. In terms of intelligence, among Cao Cao's disciples, Cao Ang should be the most intelligent. He handed a superstitious letter to Cao Ang and said: "Yesterday, the prefect of Yingchuan sent a message that Chen Mo's general Wu Yi led his army out.

Daguguan, heading east along Songshan Mountain."

"But Dagong Pass is five hundred miles away from here. Not to mention that Uncle Zixiao is stationed in the Yingchuan area. There are passes along the way. It would be extremely difficult for him to come and take away the Emperor." Cao Ang frowned.

"Besides, Lu Bu's troops invaded Runan, and Zixiao has gone to resist." Xun Yu smiled bitterly. Wu Yi was obviously not fighting alone. Lu Bu was there to support him, and Chen Mo's soldiers and horses stationed in Guandu could also rush to help at any time.

The Central Plains has no danger to defend and is in a place of four battles. This is also the most difficult point for Cao Cao compared with Chen Mo and Yuan Shao.

The biggest problem for Cao Cao now is that the emperor cannot cause substantial harm to Chen Mo or Yuan Shao, but both Chen Mo and Yuan Shao covet the emperor. If they want to sneak attack, Cao Cao really can't defend himself.

"Even if Wu Yi can kill Suiyang City, Suiyang also has defenders..." Cao Ang wanted to say that it was impossible for Wu Yi to attack Suiyang, but he fell silent in the middle of the sentence.

"Wu Yi is not here to attack the city." Xun Yu saw Cao Ang looking over and nodded with a smile. However, Xun Yu's smile was inexplicably bitter. Cao Cao's main force was attracted to Zhongmu by Chen Mo. Even if he wanted to leave now, Chen Mo

They may not be willing to let go, so Suiyang can only rely on themselves.

Cao Ang frowned and thought about the ministers in the city who might have been sentenced to Cao Cao or who had never been loyal to Cao Cao, but after thinking about it, he found that there were not many such people in Suiyang City.

"The eldest son only needs to control the army." Xun Yu saw that Cao Ang had a headache and comforted him with a smile.

Cao Ang nodded silently. This was probably the first time he had competed with his uncle, right? Although his uncle didn't really come to Suiyang, the emperor... couldn't let it go!

Xun You watched Cao Ang say goodbye and left, but he sighed in his heart. Things were worse than imagined. With this Wuyi invasion, it can be seen that Cao Cao's control over his subordinates is far less than that of Chen Mo. Although there was intelligence coming from the counties along the way,

, but most of them closed the city to protect themselves. Although there is no evidence, I am afraid that someone secretly donated food and grass to Wuyi, otherwise Wuyi's logistics supply would not be so smooth. This is obviously a long-term plan.

Chen Mo and Cao Cao actually infiltrated each other, but Chen Mo was blocked by Xiongguan. It would be impossible for Cao Cao to go deep into Chen Mo's hinterland alone again. Even if Chen Mo also had manpower deployed by Cao Cao under Chen Mo's rule, it would be difficult to send them carefully.

Judging from the intelligence, it does not make much sense that those county magistrates secretly defected to Cao Cao. They did not have any military power in their hands. Even the county guards were under the unified management of the county government, and the county captains did not obey orders.

At the county magistrate.

Under Chen Mo's rule, the county magistrates only had the power to govern, and the only people who could manage were their clerks. The rest of the law enforcement was handled by the guards after the county government issued orders. The county magistrate's office waited for the county magistrate.

There were only a dozen county guards dispatched, which suppressed the damage caused by the rebellion of these county magistrates to the maximum extent.

Over the years, Chen Mo has been perfecting his own system, establishing academies, and promoting the rule of law. Although there is no evidence, judging from the fact that Chen Mo can immediately produce enough evidence to overthrow anyone he wants to deal with, I am afraid there is another one under Chen Mo's command.

The branch is hidden in the dark, similar to the power of the school affairs office.

Yuan Shao Ce's rebellion against Guanzhong failed, and Cao Cao's detailed arrangements under Chen Mo's rule did not have much effect. The handling of the fields also greatly limited the number of local gentry's private soldiers. Xun Yu guessed that this time

After the war, Chen Mo will further suppress this aspect.

After all, tens of thousands of private soldiers gathered in Chang'an overnight. Considering Chen Mo's current power in Guanzhong, it is justifiable to use this incident as a reason to restrict the private soldiers of various prefectures.

Thinking carefully about all the things Chen Mo has done over the years, Xun Yu suddenly discovered that although Chen Mo allowed Cao Cao to take away the emperor, he never gave up on managing the imperial court. Although he was a prince, the power Chen Mo built was based on the imperial court.

The scale of the palace is being built, and it is not based on the Han system, but on the basis of the Han system, Chen Mo is building his own imperial court with his own ideas!

Now that the power structure has taken shape, is Chen Mo preparing to lead a great victory and take back the Emperor this time?

Thinking of those idiots who conspired to collude with Chen Mo, Xun Yu felt a strong sense of powerlessness. With Cao Cao, they could at least guarantee that they had some power in their hands, maybe not much, but at least decent. But if they got to Chen Mo, I'm afraid

In addition to the false reputation, it is difficult to save even the last dignity!

But Xun Yu couldn't wake up these people. Without a real face to face, all they could think about was the dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, but not what would happen to Chen Mo? How can Guanzhong today be the same as Guanzhong six years ago?

It's not the same thing~

"Chen Mo..." Xun Yu lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips. He used to be a child, but now he has become a serious problem, but there is no way. In this world, the only people who have had the opportunity to get rid of Chen Mo are Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao has never had this opportunity, but Dong Zhuo

Chen Mo had already passed away before he was aware of the threat, and Yuan Shao... couldn't say anything.

That night, Xun Yu had no intention of sleeping, and in other parts of Suiyang City, there was also a turbulent undercurrent.

"Wu Yi is marching at an extremely fast speed. Now he has reached the Jiwu area. It is not far away. Lords, the Marquis of Changling has promised that as long as we escort His Majesty back to Luoyang, our titles will be restored. Now the Cao thieves have been restrained.

In Zhongmou, we only need to escort His Majesty out of the city and then join the army of General Wuyi. Then there is no need to worry about the great event failing and the Cao thieves will not be eliminated." In a remote house, someone said impassionedly.

"Of course we understand, but now the military power in Suiyang is in the hands of the Cao family. Even if we rescue the emperor, how can we get out of the city?" Fu Wan frowned and looked at Dong Chengdao.

"Don't worry too much, we just need to be able to see Your Majesty!" Dong Cheng said with a smile. Before Cao Cao left, he took away his military power and gave it to Cao Ang. This made Dong Cheng always hold a grudge.

"Oh?" Fu Wan and others looked at Dong Cheng. Speaking of it, both of them are considered the heads of the country, and their daughters are both concubines of the emperor. There has always been competition for the position of queen, but the power is held by Cao Cao.

, it would be meaningless even if the two of them won the fight, so they could promote cooperation. At least in terms of helping the emperor escape from Cao Cao's control, the two people's interests were consistent.

"When I supervised the construction of the Suiyang Palace, I left a secret passage in the palace. Brother Fu, does he still remember that a group of craftsmen all died in the Zhaode Palace due to its collapse?" Dong

Cheng smiled.

After hearing this, Fu Wan looked at Dong Cheng and nodded silently. Unexpectedly, Dong Cheng had already prepared for today when he built the Suiyang Palace. No wonder Dong Cheng was dissatisfied when he was sent by Cao Cao to supervise the construction of the palace.

, but there was no commotion. After all, when they first came to Suiyang, they still had some weight as relatives of the emperor. It was a bit insulting to be sent by Cao Cao to build the palace.

"As long as we can enter the palace and see the Emperor, we can escort His Majesty out of the palace." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

"But how can we enter the palace to see His Majesty?" A minister frowned.

"Do you still remember how Chen Mo conquered Chang'an?" Dong Cheng said with a smile.

How did Chen Mo conquer Chang'an back then?

Everyone frowned and recalled after hearing this, after all, six years had passed. It seemed that Chen Mo first sent Wu Yi to lure away Li Jue, and then Tai Shi Ci detoured to Feng Yi to directly attack Chang'an.

"Can you make it clear?" Fu Wan frowned and asked. Among the people, only Dong Cheng has fought in battles and has rich experience in leading troops. They are okay if they read military books, but they basically cannot be relied on to fight.

.

"We can follow Chen Mo's plan, and you can gather servants from all the houses to secretly prepare weapons." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

Fu Wan nodded. To do big things, of course you need soldiers and horses, but then he frowned and said: "Now Xun Yu is super strict on Suiyang. Even if we do this in secret, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape Xun Yu."

My ears and eyes."

"These men and horses were given to Xun Yu." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

These people are all outcasts.

"Oh?" Fu Wan seemed to understand somewhat when he heard the words.

"We have prepared to take His Majesty out of the city and gathered our troops and horses in the palace. As long as we can enter the palace, we can send the Emperor out of the city. I have contacted General Wuyi. In the evening three days later, General Wuyi's army will

We can wait at the exit of the secret passage. As long as your majesty can enter the secret passage, we will be considered successful." Dong Cheng said with a smile.

"That's it!" Fu Wan suddenly said: "This matter is related to our success or failure, so please don't make any noise."

"General Fu and I will go into the palace tonight first and speak to His Majesty. All the gentlemen, please go back and prepare for the big event we are waiting for." Dong Cheng stood up and said.

"Okay!" Everyone stood up, bowed to the two of them, and then left one after another.

After Fu finished saying goodbye to everyone, he saw that Dong Cheng had not moved and asked in confusion: "General Dong, when will we enter the palace? My son Fu De is on guard duty in the palace tonight and can help us see your Majesty secretly."

"Don't worry, let me introduce an old friend to Brother Fu first." Dong Cheng did not move, looked at Fu Wan and said with a smile.

"Old friend?" Fu Wan looked at Dong Cheng in confusion.
