On the morning of this day, Ma Sheng found some old troops in Ulcheng, several of which were very good, and Chen Mugang arranged military positions for them.

After Ma Sheng left, Chen Mu asked Zhong Lixiang: "How about the person that Senior Sister found?" ”

"They're all good hands." Zhong Lixiang sat on the sidelines, playing with the golden knife in her hand.

"From now on, the seven of them will be the main force under you."

Zhongli put away the knife and used it neatly: "You don't trust Xue Xunmei and Ma Caifeng?" ”

"Xue Xunmei is the person who was found by the lame, and the reason why she was left behind is because I don't want the lame man to lose face." Chen Mu said lightly.

Zhong Lixiang nodded: "Yes, if they are all cleared, the meaning of rejection will be too obvious." Staying one, and holding an important position, is to gag many people's mouths. ”

Chen Mu turned his head to look at Zhong Lixiang and nodded with satisfaction: "My sister is getting older, and she is becoming more and more like my brother." ”

"I'm not a sister."

"Before I figured out my identity, I think it's better to call it like this." Chen Mu raised his eyebrows: "Have you found your white camel?" ”

"Found it. But they weren't going to give it back to me. ”

"Don't ask for it." Chen Mu said: "Actually, I think you are suitable for riding a dark horse." I have a white-hoofed black horse in my hand, with a large skeleton and a fast run, which I originally planned to give to Zhang Han. ”

Zhong Lixiang smiled: "Okay, after all, the camel runs slower, and it is jealous." ”

Chen Mu knew that Zhong Lixiang was referring to incense.

Hanxiang has always been obsessed with Zhong Lixiang's white camel, and now that she heard that the white camel was given away, the girl became happy, and she was better to her little white horse than before, and she didn't abuse it anymore.

At this time, Zhang Han walked in, sat down, and said nothing.

Zhong Lixiang felt that Zhang Han had something to say, but he was here, so he casually found some reason to leave the hall.

After Zhongli left, Zhang Han said: "King Mu told me before that if King Mu leaves, let me move closer to the emperor." At the time, I didn't take it too seriously, but I didn't expect the Shepherd to really leave. ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The situation is changing too fast, and I thought it was best to leave at that time." Otherwise, the forces of various sects are entangled together, and each has a strong foundation, and I will not have a chance to come out at all, so I can only be used as a pawn for others. What I hate the most is that it's better to find a stable place to be a rich businessman. ”

Zhang Han asked, "What about now?" ”

Chen Mu said: "I made an agreement with the emperor and got the acquiescence of the three major gates, so that the Western Regions would be my own." After surviving this period, Cao Sui's troops will also leave. And after beating King Donghu, Zhang Yunlong can also return to Luoyang from Datong. In this way, the various forces of the Liang Dynasty returned to their previous state. And I belong to the extra piece, and I didn't hurt anyone's interests. ”

Zhang Han nodded: "If Zhang Yunlong leaves, only Cao Su is left, and the Tang Clan's gate valve will not stop him." Before King Mu came to the Western Regions, the Western Regions were divided into sixteen small countries, which had long been out of the control of the Liang Dynasty. Now that the Muwang occupies a corner of the Western Regions, it can be regarded as ensuring that the Liang Dynasty still has a certain degree of control over the Western Regions. ”

Chen Mu smiled: "When I first came, Dunhuang was lost, and Jiuquan was beaten by someone. Now I have recaptured Dunhuang and occupied Jiaohe City, which can be regarded as expanding the territory of the Liang Dynasty and ensuring the trade route. I predict that Jiaohe City will become the economic and cultural center of the Western Regions in the future. ”

Then Zhang Han was bored for a long time before he said: "Doesn't the Shepherd King have the ambition to compete for the throne?" ”

Chen Mu said: "There used to be. But now it's gone. ”

"Why?"

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "In the past, I underestimated the control power of the three major valves. And I found that the new generation of sons seems to be more united than Tang Qiong. ”

"Solidarity?"

"Yes, they protect their respective interests on the surface, but at the critical moment, they have a tacit understanding with each other. This relationship has been maintained for more than 170 years. In the past, I only thought that the three major gates were working against the royal family. But now it seems that I underestimated them too much. At the time of national crisis, the cooperation between the three major gates and the royal family can be called intimate. And the Emperor of God, don't look at his young age, but he is quite scheming.

I didn't have the time to be the emperor.

Let me give you an example, if when Li Shimin was in power, did you say that there would be a situation of the Anshi Rebellion?

It's not that Li Shimin didn't have a figure like An Lushan when he was in power, but that Li Shimin was strong and couldn't be shaken at all. On the contrary, Li Longji lost this control in his middle and later years.

And we are unfortunate to live in the Li Shimin period, not in the middle and late stages of Li Longji.

At this time, if we insist on rebellion, we will fight very hard. Even if I overthrow the Liang Dynasty, I will shatter the country to pieces, so the regime I have established will be like a sick and disabled old man in his last years, how can he fight against the enemies of the north and the south? ”

Zhang Han nodded: "If the Emperor of Heaven dies of illness, maybe it won't be like this." ”

Chen Mu was silent.

At this moment the lame man walked in, looking a little disgraced.

He was wearing the armor of a small soldier, but when he came to the Muwang Mansion, no one dared to stop him, and everyone knew that this old man was something they couldn't afford to provoke.

Looking at the cripple man in half-leather armor, Chen Mu suddenly wanted to laugh.

The cripple rolled his eyes: "I predict that in three months, Latif and Arandor will be the winner, and Arandor will be the winning side." However, he may not continue to attack the Dayue clan in the south, but may come in the east to attack Ulcheng, Dashi, Guizi, and finally hit Jiaohe City. You think it's better to take the initiative and fight Arlando's battle on the front line of Ulcheng and Guizi Town. ”

Chen Mula's face sank: "What do you want?" ”

The cripple said, "Divide the troops." ”

Chen Mu rubbed his fingers: "I knew you would say this." But in that case, it always feels a bit risky. ”

The cripple said, "As long as the cannon is not dumb, I can open Arando's skin and eyes." He took possession of a city, and I besieged it and beat him. beat him twice, and it is estimated that he will never dare to go east again. ”

Chen Mu thought for a while: "Then I want to re-plan the troop structure." Tomorrow morning, gather all the officers, and I'm going to have a meeting. ”

Chen Mu stood up: "Call Cao Sheng, he won't let me increase my troops, but if I ask him to increase my troops, so what?" I gave him money, gave him food, and asked him to form a force. He will definitely not refuse this kind of good thing. ”

Zhang Han said: "Then it is better to bring in Kong Xiaoxian's soldiers." ”

Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "No, Cao Sui guards the south gate for us, and Kong Xiao guards the back door for us first." I'd rather have the front door unguarded than the back door. Otherwise, there is no way out, and if we are defeated, we will all be left here. ”

The lame man sank his face and stopped talking.

Zhang Han felt as if the cripple had something to say, but he refused to say it.

Zhang Han said: "What's the matter, does Brother Arita have anything to say that needs to be avoided from me?" ”

The cripple said, "If it's business, there's nothing to avoid you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Han smiled, stood up and walked out of the hall.

The cripple raised his head: "You made Hanxiang's belly bigger, when are you going to get married?" ”
