Chapter 64: The bottom of the kettle draws money to lure the snake out of the hole

"Chen Juncheng, bring the four soldiers at the gate of the camp just now." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

In an instant, the four soldiers were escorted to the general's platform.

The four of them had long since lost their souls, kneeling on the ground, their whole bodies trembling like chaff, wailing and sparing their lives!

"Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Chen Dao, and Pei Yuanshao listened to the order, and the four of them were punished with forty rods, and they didn't count whether they lived or died!"

Li Mu shouted in a deep voice.

The four of Dian Wei took the order and hit the four soldiers fiercely. The four of them howled for a few moments, and then they couldn't die anymore!

The rest of the soldiers in the school yard saw with their own eyes that the heads of the two lieutenants fell to the ground; Four soldiers were beaten to death.

They have arrived, on the verge of collapse!

I saw that in an instant, the soldiers in the school yard fell to the ground and shouted heartbreakingly, the general spares his life!

"Stand up!"

"Just a drum, if there is no more, the appearance of a Han soldier, I will let each of you not be able to get out of this school field."

Li Mu glanced around and shouted in a deep voice.

After a drum beating, the soldiers marched and assembled.

Li Mu glanced around and nodded, not bad!

"Soldiers, you can't be without generals in the army for a day, the general is the soul of an army!"

"I am a native of Wuwei County, Liangzhou, Li Mu and Li Dingguo. It is the captain of the imperial court and the Taishou of Jincheng County. From now on, you will all be my soldiers. ”

Li Mulang shouted.

Han Junshan shouted: "Swear to follow the general!" ”

"The general decided to appoint Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, and Chen Zhi as the lieutenants of the department, and Zhao Feng, Pei Yuanshao, and Zhang Cheng as the lieutenants of the cavalry."

"Zhao Feng is under Chen's account, Pei Yuanshao is under Huang Zhong's account, and Zhang Cheng is under Xu Huang's account."

"I hope that you and the other nine people will work together to lead the Han army of my Jincheng County."

Li Mu said in a deep voice.

"The last general will obey the orders of the lord and will live up to the trust of the lord!"

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Huang Zhong came to Li Mu, touched the ground on one knee, clasped their fists in salute, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, please get up, there are nine of you to lead the Han army of Jincheng County. On another day, I, a soldier of Jincheng County, will definitely be famous all over the world! ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile.

"From tomorrow, regardless of rain or snow, as soon as the time comes, the army will assemble on time and step up drills!"

"As a soldier, you should abide by military rules and military discipline, and those who dare to defy the law in the army will be severely punished!"

"From now on, we will eliminate the old and weak, streamline the army, and reorganize our armament!"

Li Mu glanced around and shouted in a deep voice.

Han Junshan shouted: "Obey the orders of the lord!" ”

Subsequently, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Huang Zhong got off the stage and went to train and assess the soldiers.

Li Mu looked at the soldiers under the general, and said in his heart: The military spirit can be used, if he is trained, he will be successful in the future!

About two quarters of an hour, Zhao Yun came to report that there were 3,000 Han troops in the camp of Jincheng County, 2,300 young and middle-aged people, and the remaining 700 were all old and weak.

Li Mu immediately ordered Zhao Yun to give these seven hundred old and weak some money and food, and send them back to the field.

Li Mu has been on the platform of the generals, watching Zhao Yun and others reorganize the soldiers, preach military regulations and military discipline, and train soldiers.

Sure enough, the general is the soul of an army!

It's only been an hour, and the Han army, which was originally loosely disciplined, untidy, and disheartened. At the moment, it is a new look!

Li Mu had lunch in the barracks before returning to Taishou Mansion.

Before Li Mu reached the Taishou Mansion, he saw Diao Chan and a maid standing at the door from a distance.

Diao Chan also saw Li Mu, and when the two were seven or eight steps apart.

"Ah Mu, have you gone to sit (go to work), have you eaten?"

Diao Chan lifted the hem of her skirt, trotted to Li Mu, held Li Mu's arm, smiled and said softly.

"Cicada, why don't you wait for me at home, I've eaten in the barracks."

Li Mu lightly, pinched Diao Chan's pretty face, and said with a smile.

"Ah Mu, the cicada got up late this morning, I heard Dongmei say, you went out early. I wondered if you would come back at noon. ”

Diao Chanjiao said with a smile.

"Cicada, I usually sit in the hall early in the future, you don't have to get up so early, and you don't have to wait for me when you eat. It's been more than half a month of tiring travel, you have to have a good rest, you know? ”

Li Mu said with a smile.

Diao Chan said softly: "Ah Mu, the cicada misses you." ”

"Cicada, we live in a courtyard and can see each other every day. When the situation in Jincheng County stabilized, I proposed to my aunt and married Cicada into the door. ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile.

"Cicada don't want it, marry you, a big pervert and a big villain!"

Diao Chan suddenly flew his cheeks and said coquettishly.

Li Mu said with a smile: "That's not up to the cicada, I see, my aunt is very optimistic, I'm a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon." ”

Diao Chan's face was crimson, and he said coquettishly, Li Mu looked at Diao Chan like this, and laughed loudly. Then, he took Diao Chan's slender jade hand and came to the gate.

"The slave Dongmei has seen the adults and the lady."

Dongmei hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Li Mu and Diao Chan, and said respectfully.

"You have to serve your wife well, and you can't let your wife suffer the slightest grievance."

Listening to Dongmei's words, Diao Chan's face turned even redder, and Li Mu responded and said.

Dongmei hurriedly replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, the slave will serve the good lady." ”

Li Mu hummed, and then entered the door with Diao Chan.

Li Mu sent Diao Chan to the cross-courtyard where the Yang family was, and then returned to the study and flipped through the volumes left by the former Taishou.

Just when Li Mu was looking seriously, the servant reported that Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang were asking to see him outside the door.

Li Mu hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand, invited Xu Shu and Zhang Ji into the door, and the three of them sat down!

"Yuan Zhi, De Jong, is there something important? Next time, the two gentlemen don't have to let their subordinates report, they can come directly. ”

Li Mu said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness." Xu Shu and Zhang Ji replied.

"My lord, under the rule of Jincheng County, there are seven counties of Yunwu, Jincheng, Yunjie, Zhiyang, Haomen, Lingju and Yuzhong."

"There are 100,000 people registered in the household registration, and 200,000 acres of cultivated land. Among them, 180,000 acres of land are concentrated in the hands of the four major families in Jincheng County. ”

"The four major families annexed land, concealed the population, and controlled the price of grain in the entire Jincheng County. It's not a small harm! ”

Xu Shu groaned.

Zhang Ji continued: "My lord, the four major families, each family is only registered, and a thousand acres of land are registered in Jincheng County, but Jincheng County is full of tenants, and the people are struggling to make a living, and there are many complaints!" ”

"This morning, the three people who died in the Taishou Mansion should be known to the two of you."

"In the school camp, I ordered the killing of two lieutenants, from the Duan and Li families. These five people are the sons-in-law of the heads of the three families, Duan, Li, and Yang. ”

"As expected, they will soon be unable to sit still, and I will uproot them."

"These big landlords have fallen, and the small landlords will naturally keep to themselves!"

Li Mu nodded and said in a deep voice.

Xu Shu and Zhang both nodded and said good!
