After preparing for a few days, the Iraqi group of more than a dozen people set off quickly.

Jiaozhou is remote, in order to ensure the safety of Iraq, but also to reduce the burden of rushing, so this time the candidates are not only brief, but also elite, for this reason Mu Jing also selected a few capable soldiers from the Shenwei Battalion as escorts.

Mu Jing has great hopes for the Yi nationality.

Lobbying is not something that can be done by any person.

He has all the qualifications of an excellent diplomat, he has the courage to add a knife and axe without changing his face, plus he can speak and argue, which is also very important, and he has a certain degree of judgment and overall view, which is also something that a diplomat needs.

If he can't convince Zhang Jin and Shi Xie.

There is nothing to expect from Jiaozhou.

The power of Jiaozhou can be borrowed, which is an unexpected joy, and it is a matter of course that it cannot be borrowed.

However, there is one thing that makes Mu Jing vigilant.

When he borrowed a knife, he had to prevent Liu Biao from borrowing a knife as well.

If Liu Biao borrowed a knife, whose knife could he borrow?

If you want to talk about Liu Biao's surroundings, there are only two people who can borrow troops, either Yuan Shu or Jiangdong.

Now Koto is in a mess.

After Yuan Shu released the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian back to the mountain, this tiger really made a lot of moves in Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated, but Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, was also a person who did not admit defeat, and transferred troops from Yuzhang and Huiji, and now fought around Wu County.

I shouldn't be able to draw any troops.

Then there is Yuan Shu.

Will Liu Biao invite Yuan Shu to go south?

I don't think so.

But I have to guard against it.

The key is Nanyang.

Mu Jing was quick for a long time, how to stabilize Nanyang, this is the key, the soldiers and horses stationed in Nanyang, he is not afraid, Lei Bo was afraid of him, and he easily did not dare to send troops, but Yuan Shu is different.

His troops in Nanyang have all been placed in Jingzhou, and if Yuan Shu is ready to recover Nanyang and send troops from Yuzhou, it will be a big problem.

"Distant and close attack!"

Mu Jing wrote four big characters on the desk.

He also needs to make friends with someone far away.

In order to ensure that the battle of Jingzhou will not be affected by any external force.

But this person is the last person he wants to befriend.

"Cao Mengde!"

Mu Jing's eyes burst with a cold killing intent.

Cao Cao assassinated his father in the court, and there must be life and death between them, but now Cao Cao is sitting in Yanzhou, and the strength of his troops cannot be underestimated, if there is one person who can contain Yuan Shu, then there is only this person.

"This man gives me a headache!"

Mu Jing put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his head, and said helplessly.

……

With the impact of the snow disaster, the atmosphere in Hanzhong is also falling, because of the heavy snow, the river is closed, and many projects are also suspended, causing Hanzhong to be the most depressed moment of the year.

In this atmosphere, gradually, the end of the year is coming.

"It's the end of another year!"

Pastoral Impressions.

A year has passed.

He's a year older again.

Of course, he is not qualified to say this, he is young, he has a strong army, millions of people, today, he is definitely the youngest prince, if he hears this, at least he can lose tens of thousands of dollars in the paddock.

The end of the year is approaching, making the Minghou Mansion more busy, and there is only the sound of hurried footsteps in and out.

Especially Hu Zhao, Xi Zhicai is not in the situation of Hanzhong.

Xi Zhicai is on the front line, and it is unreal to rush back.

Hu Zhao inspected Nanyang, stabilized the people's hearts, and secretly prepared to make some deals with Lei Bo, he was also very busy, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come back at this time.

Therefore, the big and small things of the Minghou Mansion basically fell on Mu Jing and Liu Jin.

Liu Jin is the busiest.

Dong Cao had to review the achievements of the officials for a year.

Xicao had to count the income and expenses of the Ming Marquis Mansion for a year.

These big and small things are enough for him to be the master of the Minghou Mansion so busy that he can't keep his feet on the ground.

And Mu Jing is mainly in charge of Beiwu Hall.

Because of the war, there is no one who can call the shots in Beiwutang this year, so he can only come in person as the commander, Chen Zhi still owes a little fire, maybe he has enough experience on the battlefield, but in military affairs, he is not as good as Huang Zhong, Huang Shao and others.

Beiwutang has reached the end of the year, and there are many things, such as statistics on military merits, battlefield reviews, the training of soldiers for a year, the statistics of this year's campaigns, and the battle plan for next year, there are too many things that Mu Jing needs to do personally.

After dealing with a lot of military affairs by Beiwutang, Mu Jing summoned Zhang Huo and Jingping Wubeitang's sacrificial wine.

"I need officers!"

Mujing gets straight to the point.

"Nope!"

Zhang Huo also answered straight to the point.

"Zhang Da sacrificial wine, you can't let me have no return on my investment in the Wubei Hall, this Hongdu Gate will squeeze out a few outstanding people every year, you are in and out of the Wubei Hall, are you embarrassed?" Mu Jing complained.

"I'm responsible for them!"

Zhang Huo said righteously: "This group of students is the biggest investment in my Wubeitang over the years, I can't let them enter the battlefield easily, I don't have enough military knowledge, I will never let them step out of Wubeitang half a step!" ”

"Okay!"

Mu Jing couldn't convince this stubborn tiger, and said: "You and I take a step back, I don't want your ready-made students, but I want to organize a group of generals in the army to study, for three months, you have to devote all your energy, in these three months, instill in them the most knowledge of the military art of war, they have battlefield experience, and now they only need to study systematically, how?" ”

"So that's the purpose?" Zhang Huo glanced at him with disdain: "Sure enough, it's a little fox!" ”

Mu Jing grinds his teeth a little, what is a little fox, does he know how to speak.

If he hadn't sorted out the military merit books, looked at some meritorious officers, and felt that their military knowledge was weak, he would not have made such a temporary decision.

……

In the end, although Zhang Huo was convinced, Mu Jing lost another amount of military spending, and he couldn't help but start to examine himself, whether the strategy was not very good, it was obviously a mission, why did he still lose in the end.

"It must be that I'm too kind!"

He comforted himself so much.

In any case, in the midst of the hectic things, the end of the year is coming as scheduled.

The Minghou Mansion also began to rest.

Mujing is the latest, and the rest begins on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The rest at the end of the year and the beginning of the year is the warmest time of the year, during this period of time, he completely belongs to the Jingping courtyard, belongs to a home, not a Minghou mansion.

He can have fun.

But one thing is not very good, this old Taishan usually rarely appears, at the end of the year when he rests, he will appear on time, last year's victory, he remembers it very much, so he can't wait to open the paddock and fight again.

Mu Jing was reluctant.

He even regretted it, why is there such a thing as mahjong, this thing should not appear in this era, but it just appeared, because of his itchy hands, appeared in Hanzhong, and now it is still a game that many people in Hanzhong are keen on.

The evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The concept of Chinese New Year's Eve has not yet appeared.

But the concept of eating a reunion dinner has become popular, and it is spread from the Jingping Courtyard, and on this day, whether it is the main family or the subordinates, they will go to the table, abandon all the rules, and have a reunion dinner.

This year's reunion dinner was very festive.

"Dad, I toast you, I wish you good health and ......good health next year."

After he finished saying a bunch of congratulatory words, Cai Yong's tense face stretched a little, although this son-in-law usually doesn't like it, but at this time he is still a little filial, his daughter is married if she doesn't marry, so reluctantly.

But he was handsome for only three seconds, and Mu Jing began to die: "Dad, you are still young, if you want to give you a concubine and give birth to a baby in the unknown year, you must always extend the bloodline of the Cai family, which is the so-called ......"

"Bang!"

Cai Yong directly picked up the wine cup in his hand and threw it over, he was angry like thunder, and provoked it directly, and he really came to an old man chatting about juvenile madness: "Dead guy, get me a knife, if I don't hack him to death today, the old man will not be Cai Yong!" ”

"Dad, talk well, don't do it, the gentleman doesn't use his hands......"

Mu Jing hugged his head and fled here.

Cai Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, she could make her father angry like this, the only one in the world could only be her husband, and she couldn't find the second one.

"Shoot him, shoot him!"

Zhang Ning clapped his hands beside him.

The people at the table looked at this scene, and suddenly wanted to laugh and didn't dare to laugh, one is the head of the house, and the other is still the head of the old Taishan, they are all protagonists, they feel that this is more humane, so that the Jingping courtyard does not look like the coldness of a high-walled mansion.

A year has passed, the end of the year in the big Chinese New Year's Eve and the end, and the big Chinese New Year's Eve is on behalf of this year's celebration, this year's Hanzhong, although not to the wind and rain, but it is passable, the sound of festivity from the Jingping courtyard is transmitted, the whole residential area is laughter......
