Chen Mu sat at home and played backgammon with Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan felt that this new way of playing was very interesting, pinching the chess pieces in his hands, and playing many games with Chen Mu, winning and losing each other.

In fact, Xiaohuan is still quite smart, and his chess ability has improved quickly.

In other words, her intelligence is fine, and her continuous mistakes should be caused by her personality.

Only with a good character can a person's intelligence be better utilized. Otherwise, you will regret doing something that "halves intelligence", such as those who are easily impulsive.

The so-called personality, in addition to some factors brought by nature, is also partly caused by concepts. That is, it is caused by environmental influences.

It is said that the nature is difficult to change, but there are still many people who have fine-tuned personalities, which can be changed through their own cultivation and environmental factors.

Chen Mu said to Xiaohuan that although those manuscript drawings are useless to me, it does not mean that they can be taken out and sold. Even those things are useless to others. I'm guessing you know it's not right, but you're taking risks, and you're betting that I'm not going to be angry, but happy that you're recycling. Unfortunately, you lost the bet. You measure my heart with your heart, and my heart is not what you think.

The small ring is red-eared, still holding the chess pieces in his hand, bowing his head and not speaking.

Then the lame man came to the door, and when he entered the house, he said, "I heard that you are going to fight the barbarians, why?" ”

The arrival of the cripple seemed to create an opportunity for Xiaohuan to escape, and she hurriedly ran to boil water. The cripple said that he was not thirsty and asked Xiaohuan to go out to play.

When the cripple came to talk to Chen Mu, most of them didn't shy away from Xiaohuan, and if they didn't want Xiaohuan to be in the house, they would let her go out to play.

Xiaohuan left in amusement.

Chen Mu said slowly while cleaning up the chessboard: "I don't really want to fight. ”

The lame man smiled: "You want Zhang Han to hurry up and train the army." ”

Chen Mu shook his head: "Zhang Han is a drum, just beat it." There is no need to bang continuously. ”

The cripple thought for a while: "Do you want to create a tense atmosphere so that all the soldiers in Dunhuang dare not slack off?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head again: "To fight the barbarians, there is no need to make a big move, it is enough to go to two brigades." When the time comes, I will give Mazun a city, so that he will send troops to assist us in the attack. The barbarian king was very dissatisfied because Ma Zun forced the old king to abdicate. Ma Zun told me that he wanted to cooperate with me to kill the old turtle calf. ”

The lame man nodded: "It's been a long time, you're dealing with Ma Zun." ”

Chen Mu put the chess pieces into the chess basket one by one: "If the Queen Mother replies to confirm that it is true, maybe it will not just deal with it." ”

The lame man twisted his beard: "If you really plan to make a big deal in the Western Regions, what are you going to do with Kong Xiaoxian?" ”

Chen Mu said without thinking: "Drive away." ”

"Why don't you kill him? His front is you, and behind him is Tang Xiong. Caught between the two sides, he was dead. "The cripple looked a little excited.

Chen Mu waved his hand: "Even if I really plan to establish the Anxi Kingdom, I won't tear my face with Kong Xiaoxian first." And I don't have to tear my face with him. Behind him, as you said, is Tang Xiong. He will hit Tang Xiong first. ”

The cripple was puzzled: "Why did Kong Xiaoxian beat Tang Xiong first?" ”

Chen Mu said: "Tang Xiong will cut off the grain route of Jiuquan. ”

The cripple said, "You mean you want Tang Ning to do it first?" ”

"Yes. Tang Ning did it, so I had a reason to transfer the Eighth Division and let Wang Caotian, Zhen Badao, and Shi Jin rush to help the Eighteen Princes. The Eighth Division is gone, and Dunhuang is mine. When the time comes, I won't be able to hold back what I want to do. At that time, Kong Xiaoxian had already taken Wang, Zhen, and Shi to fight Tang Xiong. As soon as they left, Zhang Yunlong and I started to work. Tang Xiong said that the west of Jiayuguan is mine, but I don't think the line he drew will work, and I will advance to Zhangye and control the Hexi Corridor. ”

"Zhangye?"

"Yes."

The cripple frowned.

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "This is just a delusion of mine, in fact, this is not very likely. ”

"Why?" The cripple asked.

Chen Mu said: "If Tang Ning fights with Tang Qiong, the Queen Mother will definitely send troops." Her soldiers broke out of Tongguan and entered Chang'an, giving Tang Ning the greatest support. However, if the Queen Mother waited for Tang Ning and Tang Qiong to be tired of the fight, and suddenly killed both of them at the same time, wouldn't Long You be the Queen Mother? And I, too, have to face Zhang Yunlong. ”

The cripple nodded and said, "You mean to say that all this is in the control of the Queen Mother." After she finished this move, the entire Longyou, Hexi, and Western Regions were hers. ”

"If I were the Queen Mother, that's what I thought." Chen Mu snorted coldly: "So I think this is a plan by Tang Qiong and Tang Ning." I don't think the two of them will fight. ”

"Hehe, if you think so, I'm relieved." The lame man stood up, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head and walked away.

It seems that the lame man is testing Chen Mu again.

"Old thing." Chen Mu scolded indignantly: "In the future, my family, don't come empty-handed!" ”

"Okay, next time, I'll bring you a ......."

Looking at the cripple's playful expression, you know that it will definitely not be a good word.

Chen Mu didn't let the cripple say it, and chased him out to beat the cripple.

The lame man ran away.

The doorman snickered.

Luohan Tang even killed all the "cats, three dogs and four" in Dunhuang City, and then threw the corpses of those people to the gate of the county government in a grand manner, and said to the officials, this is a group of horse bandits mixed into Dunhuang City, we are here to eliminate harm for the people, please give us a certificate of merit.

Dunhuang County Ling Xu Shan is Tang Liu's brother-in-law, seeing that the people in Luohan Hall are so arrogant, he can't be angry, so he runs to Tang Liu to complain.

Tang Liu said: I don't have a problem. But you don't have to worry too much, because these guys are also controlled, and they are now eradicating dissidents, and when they are in power, I can guarantee that you will have fewer and fewer worries. These people unify the market, and even petty theft is controlled by them. When the time comes, if someone loses something and comes to you, you don't have to bother looking for it at all, just send a official to inform them, and they will send the lost property back, which is very convenient. You have to understand the truth of "the official and bandit family" in order to sit comfortably in the position of the county commander. Of course, this is also what we say between us, for outsiders, we have to say that we were found by our informants. You see what I mean, right?

Xu Shan said indignantly: What is this! We studied hard in the books of the sages, and finally learned a "family of officials and bandits"?

Tang Liu scolded: You elm pimple, if it weren't for taking care of my sister, I could let you be the county magistrate? Is it your turn to teach me how to do things? Go and go, and don't bother me in the future.

Tang Liu, the mansion Yin, is enough to hold his breath, in fact, he is not lying, and now his expenses are really big. He has his own small family, and he has to take care of the expenses of the third master of the gate, and he also has to help Yumu Pimple's brother-in-law manage the affairs of the county government.

Xu Shan can't be an official, and he can't make money, and he can't afford to support the three classes of officials for a few taels of silver a month, and as a result, the money to support the county officials is also Tang Liu's.

The next day, Tang Liu came to see Chen Mu with some gifts.

"General Chen, I heard that your birthday is approaching, so I came to pay you a birthday in advance." Tang Liu joked.

"Hehe, how old am I, and I'm bothering Brother Tang to give me a birthday." Chen Mu invited Tang Liu to sit down.

Tang Liu sat down, sighed and said, "Hey, poor." I came to General Chen Mu this time in the hope of getting some money to spend. ”

The first is the latest.
