After Yan Qin left Yin Mu's camp, he rushed all the way back to the Shannan Army camp, and his body had a sore attack, and the pain was unspeakable.

Hearing that Yin Mu had promised anyway, Li Mao and Yan Li both showed joy on their faces.

After Li Mao disposed of the Tubo spies in Jizhou, the rear of Shannan was settled, and when he heard that Yan Li did not move, he refused to send troops south, so he rushed to the camp to supervise. He sent Yan Li's BMW and Lianggong, intending to urge Yan Li to cross the horse as soon as possible, Yan Li's intentions were clear, but he quietly gave Li Mao a problem, he hoped that Li Mao could rebel against Yin Mu, who was stationed outside Jianzhou City.

Yan Li's reason is very sufficient, the city of Jianzhou is high and deep, the geography is steep and abnormal, Yin Mu and Wen Dezhao are each other's horns, attacking Yin Zewen rescues, and attacking Wen means Yin sends troops to rescue, and it is difficult to start left and right.

If it is a strong attack, it will inevitably cause heavy losses, and a bad start will affect the follow-up.

If Jianzhou can outwit itself, it is the best policy, and the strategy of outwitting should be to counter Yin Mu first.

Although Li Mao knew that Yan Li was a pretext, he was also happy to give it a try, Long Shoushan was stationed in the Xichuan Army, Yin Mu was in trouble at the moment, and he was being suspicious of Liu Bi's most trusted strategist Lu Wenruo, and he was incompatible with Shi Wendezhao, who was in charge of monitoring him, Li Mao thought that there was an opportunity.

In addition, there is another reason why Li Maoken took the initiative to accept the recruitment, he received Yan Qin's letter. Yan Qin sent a private letter to him asking for help behind his father-in-law, Yan Li, although it was out of public intentions, but this move was undoubtedly detrimental to personal feelings.

The post house and the teaching workshops in various places have always been the focus of various intelligence agencies, and the Shannan West Road, where Yan Li is located, is an important barrier to prevent and contain Tubo and the two rivers, and to defend the Guanzhong, and it is impossible to survive without being deaf or blind.

The information that Li Mao grasped was that Yan Li attached great importance to the work of intelligence gathering, and he privately raised a group of brown-shirted children, numbering about 60 people, who were scattered in various Guanjin ferries, post stations, pavilions, and teaching workshops in Shannan to collect all kinds of information for the use of the Jiedu envoys in making decisions.

Because what he did was not very good on the table, he was not known to outsiders, even a cronie like Yan Qin knew very little.

Lizhou is now on the front line of the enemy, and a large number of troops are gathered, so it is the focus of attention of the intelligence agencies of all parties, and Yan Li is no exception. The prostitute house that Yan Qin often went to was well-known in Lizhou, and he usually had the opportunity to contact all kinds of people, such a person was the focus of the brown-shirted child's attention, so Li Mao judged that Yan Qin's letter Yan Li was likely to have read it.

He asked the two technical detectives from the Longshou Mountain Operations Department, who accompanied him south, to carefully examine the letter, and came to the conclusion that the letter had indeed been opened and read, and that the means of opening the letter were very clever and very cleverly concealed, and there was no doubt that it was done by experts.

Yan Qin's good reputation, Li Mao has heard of it a little, and what he does is also for the public, such a young talent, if he is abandoned by Yan Li, it is a pity.

Li Mao decided to pull him. Li Mao persuaded Yan Li to give Yan Qin a chance to make meritorious contributions, and sent Yan Qin to Yin Mu's camp to carry out a divisive plan to force Yin Mu to do anything.

Yin Mu's temper is not very good, he is arrogant and indifferent, but he is a smart person who understands current affairs, and he will make reasonable choices.

As for whether Yan Qin will endure hardship, it is not within Li Mao's consideration, it is better to endure some hardship, let Yan Yan vent his evil anger, and this matter may be covered up.

The development of the matter is basically in accordance with Li Mao's arrangement, Su Jiang found out that Yin Mu was discussing with Yan Qin against the water, and decided to assassinate Yin Mu, he asked Wen Dezhao to cooperate, Wen Dezhao sent Sihu to join the army Wang Da to cooperate with the assassins in Su Jiang to enter the camp to assassinate, the assassination failed, Yin Mu had no way out, so he could only fight against the water.

There was only one thing that Li Mao expected, he didn't expect Yin Mu to take down Jianzhou so quickly, and he didn't expect him to cut off so many heads as a meeting gift.

Yan Li squinted his eyes and looked at the three small mountain bags piled up with human heads in front of him, his face was a little ugly, he was not afraid or sad, but a little ashamed. After Yan Qin returned to the camp, he told him that Yin Mu had promised to send troops to meet him immediately anyway, but Yan Li was a little worried that it would not be possible, he didn't believe Yan Qin, but had other plans.

Jianzhou City is steep and abnormal, and there are heavy troops stationed there, since you Yin Mu are sincere, then please gnaw on this hard bone.

Gnaw slowly, with a mouth full of blood, and it's best to gnaw off a few teeth so that you can pick up a ready-made bargain.

"Yin Mu, this kid has some ability, ha."

Looking at the Tang Army flag at the head of the city, Yan Li muttered, and then with a smile on his face, he got off his horse very generously, and walked side by side with Li Mao to greet Yin Mu, who was appeasing the envoy and the Jiedu envoy to take over the city.

Although Yan Li's qualifications are older than Li Mao, Li Mao is a Qincha, and the minister of the Qincha is a senior official, so he should let Li Mao go first on the left and himself on the right, a little slower than half a step, although he is on the left, he is walking side by side with Li Mao, and his intention is nothing more than to use Li Mao's status as a Qincha to elevate himself and seek face in front of everyone.

Li Mao didn't care, he was not a scheming person, he had to do it conveniently, and it was convenient for him to be convenient with others.

The appeasement of the enemy generals who returned to Shun had the power to kill and take away, and the first hurdle that Yin Mu had to pass after returning to the imperial court was Li Mao. In the face of his former subordinates and juniors, Yin Mu did not dare to hold on to him, and bowed sincerely to Li Mao according to the etiquette system, and presented the sword and the Lizhou seal atlas, Li Mao forgave Yin Mu all the sins he had committed before as a pacification envoy and authorized by the Son of Heaven, and ordered him to temporarily take charge of the military envoy of the headquarters and wait for the official edict of the imperial court.

Yan ordered the judge Xiao Chenghe to temporarily take Jianzhou, and Xiao Chenghe took office immediately, and held a banquet in the Jianzhou Assassin Mansion as a landlord to reward the three armies. During the banquet, Yan Qin relied on a little bit of alcohol, pointed to his head and said to Li Mao: "The appeasement envoy knows that I am nine deaths today, and this guy who eats almost let General Yin cut it down?" ”

Li Mao said: "San Lang and General Yin are both smart people and will not make a farce of cannibalism. ”

Yan Qin said again: "But this beating, I really suffered it, don't you feel that Yan Qin is a little wronged?" ”

Li Mao smiled and said: "If you want to make great contributions, you must first endure great hardships, if it weren't for your flesh wounds, how would Yan Shuai forgive you for the crime of making claims?" Yan Qin's face was pale, his forehead was sweaty, and he asked for a long time, "Father-in-law knows...... The letter? ”

On the side, Qin Mo said with a smile: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." ”

Yan Qin retreated in shame, gave Li Mao a deep bow, and went with a blush on his face.

Seeing him leave, Qin Mo asked Li Mao, "Yan Shuai really knows that letter?" ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "The army of the Xichuan Fifth Academy has been operating in the Sichuan and Shu areas for many years, and its strength is just as good as the copper tiger head in Ziqing, Longshou Mountain in Guanzhong and Heluo, and Nanshan Society in Weizhou. Yan Shuai can sit firmly in the position of the envoy of Shannan West Road, how can he not have few eyes and ears under his command? This post station, the pavilion, the Guanjin, the wharf and the music square, which place does not have his eyes and ears? At present, when Lizhou is at war, Yan Shuai is staring at his opponent with one eye and his own people with one eye, which eye dares to relax a little? Our third son Yan made a big miscalculation this time. I can only let him suffer this flesh and skin, which can be regarded as atonement to Yan Shuai, in order to preserve their father-son friendship. ”

Zhang Qi, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I heard that his sister is very beautiful. ”

Qin Mo squirted a sip of wine on the table, and scolded with a smile: "Idiot, what do you want?" Zhang Qi said: "It's nothing, my mother wants me to marry the sixth lady of the Wuyang Bo family, I have seen that woman, there are pockmarks on her face, buckteeth, not to mention, if she has a good temper and is a duty to live, it doesn't matter if I am wronged and wronged, who makes the family a nobleman." But her temper is so scary that she scolded me for being an old wood when we first met, and I, I would never marry her if I died. ”

Qin Mo said: "Brother, marrying a daughter-in-law can't just look at her appearance, of course, her temper is also very important, but more important is her identity, that Wuyang Bo is not comparable to ordinary people, the fourth world and the third duke, that is the home of a famous family, if you climb this high branch, I tell you that even if you are caught in this life, I will follow you in the future." ”

Li Mao also persuaded: "Yes, this daughter-in-law will have to live a lifetime when she marries home, even if it is a flower, there will be a day when she gets tired of seeing it every day." The important thing is that the family is right, the family background is too different, it is difficult to have a common language, and as soon as the freshness passes, troubles will follow. Also, to be a husband and wife, you have to have a similar temper, or a similar smell, or be able to tolerate and complement each other, and you must not find those who are incompatible with the tip of the needle, this is a lifelong thing, and you must not be sloppy. ”

Zhang Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Mao, you also squeeze me." I, I just don't marry the Wuyang family anyway. ”

Qin Mo hugged Zhang Qi affectionately and comforted: "Good, good, good, don't marry, let's not marry a bad-tempered girl." However, brother, the sister-in-law of General Yan Xiao's family is not an ordinary person, people have to look good, and they have to learn and learn, if you want to marry her, do you also have to seek military merits and become a bigger official? ”

Li Mao coughed and stopped: "Hugh wants to pry him, fighting is not child's play, it is going to die." ”

Qin Mo shut up, and Zhang Qi said: "Brother Mao, I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to marry the Wuyang family." ”

Li Mao said: "Let's talk about it after the marriage, there is a war right now, you don't listen to Qin Mo's words, go and make any military achievements, follow me honestly, as long as this battle can be won, your credit is indispensable." ”
