This really can't be blamed on Li Wenyuan, he didn't expect that the itchy flesh on this Li Mao's body was so sensitive, it was probably caused by long-term pampering. After waiting for a while, seeing that Li Mao didn't mean to stop, Li Wenyuan frowned and said, "If you cry again, I'll play the pipa for you again." ”

Li Mao's crying stopped abruptly, only sobbing quietly, and it took a while to ease his breath. Li Wenyuan looked at him, looked at Zong Luohu, and said, "This person is just holding it like this, let's go to Wuwei County to meet Li Liang." ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the door, it was the young man from before: "Several adults, a person who claimed to be Zhang Juntai downstairs said that he was looking for Li Wenyuan and Master Li." ”

Li Wenyuan walked to the window and looked at the downstairs that it was indeed Zhang Juntai, so he said to the young man outside the door: "I know, you go down first and tell him, I'll be there." ”

As soon as Li Wenyuan and Zhang Juntai met each other, Zhang Juntai smiled and said: "The general is a god, there is indeed a convoy carrying a large amount of gold and silver on the road. ”

Li Wenyuan asked: "Is there any loss of property in the car?" ”

"There's nothing to lose, the seals are still intact."

"What about the transporters?"

"General Hui, they are all outlaws, there is no one left alive, and the only one who is injured has wiped his neck." Zhang Juntai said helplessly.

"Where's our people?"

"Two of the unlucky ones were a little injured, and nothing else was lost."

Li Wenyuan nodded and said, "Call Li Wen to see me." ”

Zhang Juntai took the order and left. Li Wen is one of Li Wenyuan's own dead soldiers, and the name Li Wen is Li Wenyuan's own bad taste for a while. At that time, when Li Wenyuan took in the first batch of eight dead soldiers, he gave them the surname Li according to Xianbei customs, and when he named them, he committed the difficulty of naming them, and later thought about it, so he simply named them after the 24 words of prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness. Li Wen is one of them.

After a while, a man in a black robe came to Li Wenyuan, knelt down on one knee and said, "Retainer Li Wen, meet the head of the family." ”

Li Wenyuan pulled Li Wen up and said, "How many times have I told you, don't engage in these useless things." ”

Li Wen bowed his head and said: "Monarchs and ministers, father and son, the code of ethics must not be lost. ”

"Forget it, I didn't ask you to tell you this. Now you don't have to follow me, I will always feel the identity of the Western Regions, and I will transfer you as the commander of Yongdeng County to help me guard the southern gate of Liangzhou. Li Wenyuan said.

"Command, Xie family master." Li Wen bowed his head and said.

"Okay, the first thing you should do is to send back to each of you the gold and silver treasures that the previous dog officials had robbed, and at the same time take out some of the proceeds of the embezzlement of the county order and give some to the poor people. You are in charge, I only give you one task, and that is, don't starve to death. Li Wenyuan weighed the money in the cellar of the county order in his heart, and said to Li Wen.

"Of course, it is not a way to blindly give alms, so you can organize the poor people to open up the wasteland and plant some food while it is still too late, and these wasted lands will be used as official tun fields, specially prepared for refugees who have fled from other places and local landless poor people. In winter, water conservancy can be built to deal with possible natural disasters. Although Zhuanglang River has always been docile, it is prepared. Li Wenyuan thought about it again and said.

Li Wen was confused when he heard this, and it took him a while to understand. Li Wenyuan saw that Li Wen understood his intentions, so he continued: "Okay, let's go, it's best for me to meet a parent official who is loved by the people." ”

Li Wenyuan looked at Li Wenyuan's distant figure, and he was also looking forward to it. Li Wen was originally the concubine of the Li family in Longxi, and he was very talented, but later he contradicted his son-in-law, and was sent to the frontier on trumped-up charges. When passing by Jincheng, Li Wenyuan saw that although he was wearing a prison uniform, he was not like other prisoners, or he was depressed, or he didn't care, or he secretly hated, he just sat indifferently and looked at the things around him. Li Wenyuan felt strange at the moment, stepped forward to talk, and found that this person was extraordinary, and later Li Wenyuan used his connections to save Li Wen, and only then did he know these past events.

This time, Li Wenyuan transferred Li Wen to be the county magistrate of Yongdeng County, in fact, not to guard the southern gate as said, but to let Li Wen polish and polish in the officialdom and prepare for assisting him in governing internal affairs in the future.

Later, some related matters were arranged, leaving a few capable soldiers to protect Li Wen's safety, and then said to Zong Luohu: "Sect leader, I am going to Wuwei County next to investigate this matter thoroughly, do you go with me or go to Jincheng to find Brother Xue?" ”

Zong Luohu thought for a moment and said, "General Li, let's leave it at that, I don't feel at ease if my brothers stay here." ”

Li Wenyuan nodded and said: "Okay, then according to what you said, our green mountains will not change the green water for a long time, and there will be a period after he meets each other in the new year." ”

The two cherished each other, Zong Luohu took Li Wenyuan's letter to Xue Ju, and led a group of heroes from Qinglong Mountain to the east to defect to Xue Ju. Li Wenyuan led the army to escort Hulu, Ba Du and Li Mao to Wuwei County, the seat of Liangzhou Governorship.

On the way, Zhang Juntai asked Li Wenyuan: "General, why did you believe Zong Luohu directly after receiving his summons?" ”

Li Wenyuan smiled: "Hehe, where do I believe him, it's just that I want to take advantage of the situation to find a future for my brother and follow the trend." ”

Zhang Juntai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled and stopped talking.

In the march of the army, the road was opened in the mountains, and the bridge was built in the water, not to mention the difficulties and dangers along the way. On this day, he finally saw from a distance that there was a somewhat dilapidated but very magnificent city standing next to the endless sea of sand, Zhang Juntai raised his horsewhip and pointed to the city, and said:

"General, that's Wuwei County."

Li Wenyuan also raised his eyes when he heard this, turned his head and said to the soldiers: "Sons, the front is Wuwei County, the hard work of the day is finally not in vain, and you will be given a day off when you arrive in Wuwei County. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they also swept away the fatigue of the cars and horses that had been going for several days, and their faces were happy, and the current speed of the team also suddenly accelerated, heading towards Wuwei County.

Some people from the imperial court had already taken Li Wenyuan's appointment documents to Wuwei County first, and the county had already cleaned the streets with clean water and cleaned the loess mat road. At this time, the defenders at the head of the city also saw the march of the large group of men and horses, so they went to inform the county guard. The county guard hurriedly came, climbed to the head of the city and looked at the army outside the city with a pergola in his hand, and saw Li Ziqi from a distance, and knew that it was the new governor Li Wenyuan who arrived outside the city, and hurriedly took a group of officials out to greet him.
