Chapter 0230: Radical General
Fang Qing was rescued, but he was severely beaten by the Black Eagle Gate, tortured on death row, and exiled with a clamp, leaving a relatively serious injury.
After a period of recuperation, one of his legs was still not very neat, and the lame man jokingly said that there was another lame man beside Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's face was not good, but he didn't say anything.
When talking to Zhong Lixiang just now, the lame man came in with a smile and eavesdropped on the side, but after listening to it for a long time, he didn't hear anything he wanted to hear, Chen Mu said a lot of things, but what he said was how he cared about Senior Sister Yan Yunyun and used it to perfunctory Miss Zhongli.
The girl was simple, but not stupid, accepted the result with disbelief, and promised Chen Mu that she would not stay up late on the roof in the future.
Now there are many swordsmen around Chen Mu, and there are always people staring at the roof. Chen Mu felt that there was really no need to let the eldest girl run to the roof, at an age like a flower, what a pity if she was blown rough by the cold wind.
"I want to leave early." The cripple said to Chen Mu.
Chen Mu nodded: "I haven't been able to see you lately, I heard that you were so busy in the army that you hit the back of the head, I knew that you were going to be a moth." After you're gone, who are you going to leave behind? ”
The cripple said: "Give the military command to Li Daozheng, and the Secret Bureau to Zhong Lixiang." ”
Chen Mu shook his head: "I already plan to let Zhong Lixiang be in charge of the Wang Tong Bureau. Don't meddle in this matter. ”
The cripple said, "Then hand over the Secret Bureau to Fang Qing." ”
Chen Mu nodded: "The lame man is ruthless, and the blind man is horizontal." It's just right to let Fang Cripple give you the deputy of the Secret Bureau. But you have to have more snacks, don't let him mess around. It hurts good people and makes people panic, but it can't be done. In addition, all his actions are required to be put on paper. Turn it in regularly. When I'm not there, I'll hand it over to Hanxiang. Hanxiang doesn't know how to fight, so I arranged for her to be protected by six veterans. I believe that no one would dare to rebel against her. ”
The cripple said, "I want to leave tomorrow." ”
Chen Mu said: "The cavalry brigade is still short of eight hundred horses. In a few days, the three hundred horses I bought from Sogdia will be delivered. You might as well wait. ”
The cripple said: "I plan to take the cannon away, but it is not appropriate to be all cavalry." Two thousand two hundred cavalry, plus a thousand ironclad infantry, I think it's just right. I intend to develop this brigade of mine into a division. ”
Chen Mu nodded: "Originally, I also planned to do the same, so I gave you the number of an independent brigade." But now Tang Zhen refuses to tear his face with me, but is a little troublesome. The overseers, food overseers, and generals around you are not your people. It will inevitably be constrained. ”
The lame man smiled and said, "I have already talked to Cao Sheng, and Cao Sheng said that I don't have to worry about the prison army." He has taken full rein. As long as the Prison Corps doesn't trouble me, I'm sure I'll be in control of the entire brigade. ”
Chen Mu smiled: "It seems that you old boy hasn't been busy in vain recently." Well, you go and do it. ”
"Tomorrow I will go to the Iron Gate Pass, and the reason for my dispatch is to help Ma Zun deal with the Barbarian King."
Chen Mu laughed: "It's okay to save Mr. Ma Zun from writing to urge me." ”
——
Chen Mu calculated that Yu Linglong's due date should be February next year, maybe he could give birth before the lame man set out on the expedition, but unfortunately the lame man couldn't wait, and in late November of the second year of Tianci, he took 3,200 people on the journey.
When the lame army was marching out, Chen Mu personally sent him out of the city, sacrificing animals and wine, and making bold speeches.
The scene is grand, needless to say.
Ma Zun's envoy had been staying in Dunhuang City, and when he saw the troops marching out, he was overjoyed, and after giving Chen Mu many gifts, he set off with the lame army.
With this messenger opening the way, the gate of the iron gate must be open.
I just hope that the cripple moves a little slower, and the battle with the barbarian country is better to wait until February next year.
The lame man was ambitious, and this expedition took with him a lot of gold, silver, and gunpowder. He said, "I will go to Azman to increase troops, buy horses, buy iron, make armor, and make cannons."
Chen Mu said, don't be too rampant, you old boy, Ma Zun is my Aka, no matter what, I have to give him three points of affection. If you hollow out Aziman, it will make him suspicious of me, and then resist, which is not good for future development.
"Your father may not listen to me."
After sending the cripple away, Chen Mu returned to the office hall and said to Hanxiang with a teasing tone.
Hanxiang frowned and smiled.
Cao Qingling brought a box of snacks and put it on Chen Mu's desk.
Hanxiang stared at Cao Qingling and was silent.
Cao Qingling understood, lifted the lid of the box, handed it to Hanxiang, Hanxiang picked one from the dim sum, handed it to Cao Qingling, and let her eat it in person.
Chen Mu looked at all this, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
Hanxiang set this rule to prevent poisoning incidents, but no matter how you look at it, I feel a little unkind.
In two months, he will leave Dunhuang, and I don't know when he will be able to come back after leaving this time, in order to maintain the authority of Hanxiang, Chen Mu does not intend to deny Hanxiang in front of outsiders.
Seeing Cao Qingling eat a piece, Hanxiang handed her a glass of water with kindness, and then said softly: "As King Mu expected, Cao Sui built the Tower of Babel, and it has been repaired to the eleventh floor. Towering from the ground, it is very spectacular. I don't know how many floors he has to repair, and it is really worrying about safety to build so high. ”
Hanxiang's words were said to Cao Qingling.
Cao Qingling was silent.
Chen Mu glanced at Hanxiang and didn't speak.
Cao Qingling was sitting in the seat, steadily, with two real slaves behind her, standing on both sides.
After all, they are also girls from the Cao family, and they only show their sincerity when they come to be a gift, and the real rough work still has to be done by those slaves and maids.
Cao Qingling maintained a dignified appearance, dressed gorgeously, and had a lot of hair ornaments on her head. She stayed in Chen Mu's study every day, and she didn't talk much, as if an old monk had settled down. Occasionally sleepy, he ran to Chen Mu's bedroom to take a nap.
Now, she has become the person who has been with Chen Mu the longest.
In this regard, Hanxiang was quite depressed in her heart.
In the past, Zhong Lixiang often sat in Chen Mu's study, but now Miss Zhongli ran out to select swordsmen and set up a royal bureau. What the Wang Command Bureau does, Hanxiang can't figure it out, and always feels that it overlaps with the role of the Military Command and the Secret Bureau. Could it be that the shepherd doesn't trust his father, so he wants to set up this bureau?
The girl has a lot of thoughts, but she usually doesn't say it, and it is all up to Chen Mu to guess. How can anyone not make mistakes, even Chen Mu has a time when he guesses wrong. Occasionally, the girl was in a bad mood and shed muffled tears.
"I want to see the Shepherd!"
Suddenly there was a shout from the secretary hall.
Who is so bold as to dare to make a noise in the hall of the secretary Lang?
Without waiting for Hanxiang's instructions, Guo Yang, the assistant general secretary, had already walked out of the living room, staring at the noisy person with a cold face.
The man was tall, bearded, and rounded with tiger eyes. Looks stunned.
There was a man standing next to him, also burly, but this man looked much more stable. Guo Yang recognized this person, it was Gongsun Ji who went home to find the young master. Gongsun Ji was persuading him to speak in a low voice.
But the beard did not give up.
Guo Yangxin said: It seems that this kid is the young master of the Gongsun family.
"Who are you, and why do you seek to see the king?" Guo Yangwen was quiet, and although he guessed seven or eight points, he still asked officially.
"I'm going to join the army! I'm going to war! I want to show the king that my grandson is not a bad seed! My grandson's family, there is no one of them! ”
