The girl in the red dress was helping a group of women and children to get on the boat, her limbs stretched, her waist slender, her movements clean and powerful, she looked pleasing to the eye, and she looked unusually dazzling in a chaotic crowd like a muddy tide.

Li Mao pointed to the girl and said to Qingmo: "That girl is good, how about letting the princess go over and tell you about the family?" Qingmo glanced at the girl, her heart fluttered, but she said: "People are in your phase, and my gentleman does not win people's love." Li Mao said: "That's it, since you can't look at it, forget it." Qingmo hurriedly changed his words: "Who said that I can't look down on it, it seems that such a beautiful woman can't be cultivated for thousands of years, and it is my blessing to bump into it." He smiled again, scratched his head and said, "It's a pity that she has done evil from a thief and can't be a daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Mao came over with a knife and shouted, "Doll, I relied on you to block an arrow for me last time, and I will return you a daughter-in-law." After that, he strode away, and the tiger came out of the cage like a beast. Qingmo shouted: "Taigong can't go, she's a thief, I'm a soldier." Mrs. Mao didn't reply, and shouted impatiently: "The soldiers and bandits are a family, don't dislike anyone." ”

Li Mao looked at the majestic back of Mrs. Mao, thinking about the decadent bad old man not long ago, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Su Qing is right, this old man was born to kill, and it is really uncomfortable not to fight him than to kill him, there are such strange people in the world." ”

Mao Taigong rushed to the river, where the big knife was waved, his head and limbs fell to the ground, Yu Hou wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare to move forward by his big knife. When the girl in the red dress saw the ferocity of his coming, she was frightened, took out a short knife from her waist, and shouted, "The killing god is coming, you go quickly." With a hard kick on her foot, she retreated a sampan into the water, and she herself stood on the shore with a knife. Mrs. Mao laughed, pointed at the girl in the red dress and said, "The doll is smart, if you get on the boat, I will overturn the boat and send them all to feed the fish." The woman in the red dress said: "For the old disrespect, look at the knife!" ”

The figure was noticed by Mao Taigong without moving, he flipped the big knife in his hand, the knife side was facing forward, and it was pumping on the buttocks of the girl in the red dress with a bang, oops, a scream, and the girl fell to the ground. The short knife in his hand was thrown aside, and Mrs. Mao used the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to push the short knife into the river, and said with a smile: "Doll, how about being a daughter-in-law for me?" The girl in the red dress looked frightened when she heard this, turned around and jumped into the river. Qingmo, who was watching the battle from the side, saw the girl in red falling into the water, and his heart suddenly jumped out of his throat, he let out a sigh, and the horse galloped away.

Mrs. Mao just made a statement to tease the girl in the red dress, but she didn't expect her to be so strong, she jumped into the river without saying a word, and after secretly scolding herself for being old and confused, she jumped into the river and splashed a big mud flower. Qingmo came to the river, but there was no trace of the two, anxious five inside, dismounted and unarmed, and was about to jump into the water to catch people, but saw the mud flowers on the water, Mao Taigong jumped out, just like a dragon out of the sea, splashed Qingmo's face of muddy water. The old man popped up, exhaled, laughed, and stepped ashore with a pretty wet girl under his arm.

In less than an hour, the official army cleared the remnants of Ye Shuodu Nanzhuang, Li Mao organized firefighting on the one hand, and dragged the captured boat ashore, although Nanzhuang was lost, Beizhuang is still there, although the scale is not as good as Nanzhuang, but Zhu Jiu is a fisherman, good at water warfare, with this river, still can not be ignored.

In the process of waiting for the battle report, Li Mao called the girl captured by Mao Taigong, she had just changed into a linen dress worn by a man, and her wet hair was tied behind her head, even so, it was still difficult to hide her natural beauty, Qingmo stood beside Li Mao, on the surface she was serious, but her heart was like a hundred claws scratching her heart, and she had to cough again and again to cover it up.

Li Mao looked at the woman named Zhu Xiang carefully, and said with emotion in his heart: "Qingmo, this kid is so blessed that he has fished such a beauty." ”

Generally speaking, the common people attached to the thieves against the official army is rebellious, Li Mao has the right to deal with these people on the spot, he can kill the head without trial, or casually convict a thief of the crime of not being a slave, as a general of the unified army, he has the right to distribute these slaves and maids, so Li Mao is very confident in his heart to persuade Zhu Xiang to marry Qingmo.

The result was that he touched his nose with ash, this woman named Zhu Xiang was as stubborn as a stone, and let Li Mao follow the lead until her mouth was dry, she just refused to marry Qingmo, which made Qingmo, who was standing on the side, feel very faceless, and left angrily before the interrogation was over. Although the person came out, his heart was still in the hall and did not leave, and after a while, he thought about it or he wanted to go back, but he was stopped by his magic power and did not let him in, Qingmo said: "Brother, don't tease me, I'm annoyed." "Mo Qi Shen Channel: "Because of the woman inside? ”

Qingmo said: "Hey, what is she, except for her beautiful face, what is good, her temper is stinky, she doesn't know how to lift, and she deserves to be killed." Mo Qi Shentong silently drew his knife and walked inside, Qingmo grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?" "Mo Qi God Channel: "Kill the one who doesn't know how to lift for you." Qingmo said: "Get out, this is our family matter, you don't need to care." He took the sword and stood there like a stone statue. Qingmo thought that something was wrong, so he poked Mo Qi's magic power and said with a smile: "Good boy, dare to entertain me." Mo Qi said seriously: "No, she doesn't know how to lift, and it's useless to keep it, it's better to kill it with a knife and save trouble." Qingmo said: "Phew, such a girl like a flower and jade, how can you do it?" ”

Suddenly exclaimed: "Okay, you have a magical power, you also have a crush on her, are you jealous of me, right, I bah, she is my woman, don't even think about it." Seeing that Mo Qi ignored him left and right, he felt bored, so he sighed again and said: "Good things are grinding, good things are grinding, isn't it me." Seeing his fascinated appearance, Mo Qi couldn't help but laugh at all.

Zhu Xiang refused to obey, and Li Mao had no choice but to order her to be detained first, and then persuade her when he was free, but if he really didn't want to, he had to send her home.

According to the statistics of the battle report, Li Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the losses were smaller than he imagined, and the results were much more fruitful. If it weren't for Li Yu and Chen Wanchun's carelessness for a while, this battle would be perfect. Li Yu and Chen Wanchun lost their battle due to carelessness, Li Mao did not blame but ordered to reward the bravery of the two, and personally went to the camp to visit Li Yu's injuries, which moved Li Yu to tears, and the supervising army made Zhou Hong originally suspect that Li Mao would not use soldiers, and he was impressed by Li Mao after this battle. Li Yingtan, the Marquis of Duyu, added a respect to Li Mao's iron-blooded methods of governing the army, and on the dock in Nanzhuang, Li Mao put down three guillotines, but those who violated military discipline were all punished, so that Li Yingtan secretly screamed. Li Mao's prestige in the army was unprecedentedly high.

After the big win, there will be a military banquet to reward the meritorious soldiers, this is the rule in the army, Li Mao naturally did not dare to break this rule, during the banquet, seeing that Li Mao was in a good mood, Chen Wanchun took the opportunity to ask: "The general besieged Ye Shuodu but did not attack, in addition to caring for the lives of the soldiers, I always feel that the general has another deep meaning, I dare not ask the stalemate of the war the day before yesterday, and now the overall situation has been decided, can the general give advice?" ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "What is the deep meaning, my generation was ordered to go on the expedition, in order to exterminate the bandits, save the people from the dire situation, the soldiers established meritorious deeds and fell second, I think that Zhu Jiu was just a fisherman on the Ye River a few months ago, two meals a day, difficult to take care of food and clothing, what military does he know?" Don't look at him recruiting troops and horses, building weapons, buying bows and arrows, making a lot of trouble, but he is just a paper tiger with teeth and claws, as long as we are determined to do it, there is no reason why we can't do it. In that case, why should the lives of the soldiers be harmed? What I bear is nothing more than a cowardly notoriety, but the lives of hundreds of soldiers have been saved. ”

Li Yu, Chen Wanchun and other generals stood up and toasted: "The general's benevolence and righteousness are the great fortune of my Qing Navy officers. ”

Li Mao got up and saluted, and said: "I heard that the Pei brothers in Dapu Mountain were originally all country tycoons, they studied and practiced martial arts since childhood, they were brave and strategic, the terrain of Dapu Mountain is dangerous, and the cottage is strong, if you wave your troops to attack, although you can win, the casualties will be very large, so I deliberately delay in Ye Shuodu, the purpose is to lure the Pei brothers to send troops to rescue, if you can lure the two of them down the mountain, then our horse army can come in handy, and the victory will be more than 30% certain." Therefore, I have been surrounding but not fighting, even if I fight, I am not chasing and fighting, what I am afraid of is that Zhu Jiu will not be beaten, and he will be defeated too quickly, which will surprise the Pei brothers. ”

Zhang Qi said: "The Pei brothers are indeed fierce rivals, sure enough, they are cowering in the cottage, we may not be able to win, but if they reach the flat ground, with the benefit of our army and horses, they may be able to break it." The generals are like gods, and the last general admires. ”

Everyone said yes, Li Mao smiled and said: "Don't put a high hat on me, I put a fishing hook, but I haven't seen the Pei brothers bite the hook so far, these two people are really talented." ”

Senior General Xue, the commander of the Chinese army, said: "There is a plan to lure the Pei brothers to fight." According to the veteran Xue, the Pei brothers have a nurse who lives in a small forest village not far from Jinzhuang, the Pei brothers have eaten her milk when they were young, and they have great respect for this nurse, and the strategy of the veteran Xue is to send someone to invite her to Ye Shuodu, forcing the Pei brothers to submit, the Pei brothers are all thoughtful people, and it is expected that the nurse will be taken to the big and small Pushan as soon as possible, and the two of them heard that the official army wants to talk about the nurse, and it is expected that the strength of the official army is not good, and they will send troops to help Zhu Jiuyi.

Li Maoxi said: "Sure enough, the general is asked to implement it as soon as possible." ”
