Li Mu's personal guards were at the back door of the Imperial Garden and found traces of someone fleeing. When the guards followed the trail all the way to the downtown area, they lost the direction of pursuit.

Li Mu learned that Sima Yi and Wang Yue had escaped, but he didn't feel too much anger in his heart. For they will eventually die at his hand.

Subsequently, Li Mu came to the Chang'an City military camp!

"The queen mother edicts the lord to enter the palace ......"

When Xu Shu saw Li Mu entering the tent, he got up and gave a salute, and muttered, "But you intend to test the lord?" ”

"Not bad!"

Li Mu replied with a smile, and then came to the main seat, "The Queen Mother ordered me to enter the palace, all because of Sima Yi's pampering!" ”

"Sima's connections really can't be underestimated!"

Xu Shu paused, and then said with a solemn face: "Sima Zhongda can actually catch the line of the Queen Mother." In the future, Sima Yi will spare no effort to frame the lord! ”

"After all...... I killed his whole family! What I won't expect is ...... Sima Yi was actually in the Imperial Garden. ”

Li Mu said a few words with a smile, and then told Xu Shu, Dian Wei, and Wang Ping what happened in the imperial garden.

After hearing this, although they were annoyed by Sima Yi's insidiousness, they also admired Sima Zhongda's courage.

"What a mess Guanzhong is!"

Li Mu didn't want to worry about Sima Yi anymore, so he sighed.

"What the lord said is very true!"

Xu Shu nodded, and then said with a solemn face: "Now, Guanzhong is dilapidated, a lot of land is idle, and the people are displaced. Just to solve the people's rations, I am afraid that it will also consume all the food stored in Chiyangwu Fort. ”

"It is important to help the people! The land in Guanzhong is fertile, and as long as production resumes, there will naturally be no shortage of food! ”

"We still use the method of cash-for-work, which not only ensures that the people have food to eat, but also ensures the reconstruction of fortresses and water conservancy facilities in Guanzhong."

"At present, our army has only more than 90,000 fighting strength, and if it is guarded everywhere, it will definitely be overstretched. I intend to recruit 130,000 troops in Guanzhong and 40,000 troops in Liangzhou. At that time, the establishment of the major legions will be 30,000, and the number of dragon horses and Suzaku horses will increase to 10,000 each! ”

"This time is different from the past, the Guanzhong family is complicated, and it is not appropriate to vigorously crack down on it for the time being. After the recruitment is over, I will clean up this group of clans! ”

Li Mu already had a plan in his chest, and then said in a deep voice.

"We will obey the orders of the Lord Army!"

Everyone thought about it for a while, thought deeply, and then replied in unison.

"Lord!"

Xu Shu groaned: "The officials of Chang'an City...... What should I do? ”

"If you want to take it, you have to do it!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"You know what to do!"

Xu Shu was at a glance, as if he had thought of something, and then said loudly: "By the way, when the lord was chasing and suppressing the rebel army, Huang Gong and Yang Gong came to the barracks, saying that they wanted to see the lord!" ”

"Huang Gong and Yang Gong have been kind to me, even if they can't understand me, I can't bear them! Later, I went to the house of the two of them to find out what they were saying. ”

Li Mu nodded, and then said solemnly.

Everyone nodded in goodness!

"Hedong County has not yet been annexed, and tomorrow, Evil Lai and Zhong Yi will lead 6,000 troops to go. This time the troops are aimed at recovering the hearts of the people and the city, and it is not appropriate to kill too much! ”

Li Mu looked at Dian Wei and Jiang Yin, and said in a deep voice.

"We will obey the orders of the Lord Army!"

Dian Wei and Jiang Jian immediately got up, saluted Li Mu, and replied in unison.

Subsequently, Li Mu discussed the details of recruiting troops and helping the people, and discussed with Xu Shu and Wang Ping before leaving the barracks.

……

Chang'an City Yellow Mansion!

"Master, Ningcheng Hou asks to see you!" The housekeeper of the Huang Mansion came to the hall, bowed to Huang Wan, and said respectfully.

"The old man wants to greet Ning Chenghou in person!"

Huang Wan was overjoyed, got up immediately, and walked towards the gate. Yang Biao and a young man immediately followed Huang Wan's pace.

"The Marquis of Ningcheng came to the cold house, and the old man was far away!"

Before Huang Wan could get out of the door, he was already smiling.

"Li Mu has seen Huang Gong!"

Li Mu stepped forward, slammed Huang Wan to the ground, and said with a respectful expression: "After a few years, Huang Gong is still healthy?" ”

"Why does the Marquis of Ning Cheng favor one over the other?"

Before Huang Wan could reply, Yang Biao's laughter came.

Li Mu hurriedly saluted Yang Biao again, and also greeted him respectfully.

"There is no need to be polite to set the country!"

Yang Biao returned the salute, then pointed to the young man beside him, and said with a smile: "This is a dog, in the future, I hope to cultivate in Dingguo!" ”

"Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu, meet the Marquis of Ningcheng!"

Yang Xiu stepped forward and saluted Li Mu, quite respectfully.

"Dezu doesn't have to be polite!"

Li Mu returned a salute to Yang Xiu, and then laughed loudly: "I have heard for a long time that Yang Gongxian is talented and intelligent, and when I see it today, it can be regarded as a consolation in my life!" ”

As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, Yang Xiu's face was happy.

"Dingguo praised!"

Yang Biao immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Compared with Dingguo, the talent of the dog is undoubtedly the light of the firefly to the brightness of the moon!" It's not the same! ”

"Since ancient times, there are countless people who have been proud of their talents! Li Mu is just a mediocre person, and An can be called 'Haoyue'? ”

Li Mu saw Yang Xiu's expression, and knew in his heart that Yang Xiu and his people were too sharp, and they would eventually be the way to get trouble. Immediately, Li Mu said pointedly.

Huang Wan and Yang Biao understood Li Mu's extraneous voice and nodded secretly.

Yang Xiu was self-aware, and he was stunned, and said in his heart: As the rumors say, Li Mu has the ability to predict the future. The first time they met, this person saw his weaknesses so clearly!

"Talking to each other outside the house is not a way of hospitality!"

Huang Wan hurriedly diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Dingguo, please come into the house for a while." ”

Subsequently, everyone came to the Huangfu Hall and sat down.

"With the ability to determine the country and use troops, why didn't he welcome back the holy car?" Yang Biao looked at Li Mu and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Li Mu is deeply ashamed!"

Li Mu said with a solemn face: "At that time, the rebel army hijacked the Son of Heaven and fled eastward, Li Mu did not dare to chase and suppress it too quickly, for fear that he would hurt His Majesty. When the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou arrived in Chenggao, the holy car had been obtained by Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao! ”

"The soldiers and horses of Liangzhou are brave and unmatched, and the world is well known!"

Huang Wan immediately said with a look of indignation: "If Dingguo can unite Yuan Benchu and Liu Xuande again...... He will definitely be able to defeat Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao. At that time, the holy car can also be returned to Chang'an City! ”

"As far as Li Mu knows, Cao Yanzhou is a person who is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he will definitely be able to protect His Majesty! The Liangzhou Soldiers and Horses Division is nameless, and you can't start a war in vain! ”

"Moreover, right now, there are many displaced people in Guanzhong, and the people are miserable! Li Mu thinks that the situation in Guanzhong should be stabilized for the time being! Welcoming the Holy Driver...... Make good pictures in the future! ”

Li Mu knew in his heart that Huang Wan and Yang Biao were typical Confucian scholars, and they were most concerned about the emperor's situation. Immediately, Li Mu said his reasons.
