When the outside world was boiling, Yang Mu was in the Wanshou Palace, staring at the Queen Mother.

"No! The mourners will never agree! The two held each other for a while, and the Queen Mother had a dark face and a displeased expression.

"Queen Mother, this is an excellent opportunity, after this battle, the domestic family can only bow down to the ear, and it will not be a problem from now on!" Yang Mu also spoke bitterly and tried his best to convince.

"Then you can't risk yourself!" The Queen Mother said loudly: "You are the king of a country, you should be in the palace, how can you be like a reckless man, what kind of royal conquest!" You don't have any heirs under your knees, who will oversee the kingdom after you leave the court? When the first emperor was there, how could he have personally gone to the battlefield? ”

"So the two northern cities fell like this, and even Zheng Kang, a small prince, dared to attack with private soldiers, which had a lot to do with his father's stupidity." Yang Mu said.

"You...... Alas, what do you want the queen mother to say about you......" The queen mother sighed, Yang Mu's words are indeed irrefutable, although the first emperor overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty, but did not change the name of the country, and also followed the system and most of the officials of the previous dynasty, and was very unfamiliar with governing the country, resulting in the gradual weakening of the national strength.

Yang Mu's eyes rolled: "Queen Mother, the child has good news to tell you." ”

"What's the good news?" The Queen Mother glanced at him angrily and said, "Say, what's the matter, if you deceive the mourning family and still think about what kind of royal conquest, then don't say it." ”

Yang Mu was a little weak-hearted: "That...... The queen is happy! ”

"Really?" The Queen Mother shook Yang Mu for a moment, full of surprise, and said, "You didn't lie to the mourning family?" ”

"Of course." Yang Mu was talking nonsense seriously, and secretly apologized in his heart, for the victory of a war, he had to lie to the mother who was worried about her son's safety.

simply didn't talk shockingly, and talked about the marriage again.

"Well, that's good! The marriage is very good, and with my son's status, only a princess of a country can be worthy. The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, she had already had too much dissatisfaction with the queen, if there was a princess of Shenguo to marry, it would be great, and it would be okay to help her a little when the time comes, and she will be able to be promoted to the position of queen.

Of course, if the queen can give birth to Lin'er this time, it will be another matter, the eldest son is the country's capital, which has a huge role in stabilizing the government, although the queen mother is a woman, this truth is still understood.

"The queen has been sleepy recently, and the imperial doctor said that she should bother less, the child is not in the palace these days, and she has to bother the queen mother to take care of it more." Yang Mu said with a weak heart.

"Do you still want to drive the expedition?" The Queen Mother frowned, but it could be seen from the expression on her face that her attitude had eased a lot.

Yang Mu was secretly happy, diluting his worries with joy, this trick was really useful, but he had to wronged the queen, maybe she was not easy to explain, but it was a long time later, first solve the problem in front of her.

Yang Mu said: "Don't worry, the queen mother must pay attention to safety, never go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy, and when you encounter danger, you must turn around and run, if you don't run fast, don't recognize my son......

"You, when did this mouth become so poor." The Queen Mother nodded Yang Mu's forehead angrily, and then she was a little gloomy: "The battlefield is ruthless, the swords and guns are eyeless, you lead the troops to recruit in person, remember to take care of yourself, it is okay to sit in the handsome tent and command the army, don't charge into battle in person, that's not what you should do, understand?" ”

"Remember, child!" Yang Mu nodded heavily, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, finally passing this level.

As for how the queen explained, hehe, life, there is always a little helplessness, how to say that sentence, life is not only the immediate Gou, but also the future, if you want to not be affected by the conservative woman's opinion, you must dare to go to the moon for nine days, dare to go down to the five seas to catch turtles, you must endure what ordinary people can't bear...... Uh, reluctantly?

In the afternoon, Wei Zhongquan led 5,000 soldiers to assemble outside the imperial city, and he did not carry any chariots and baggage, after all, he was going to attack the Liugang Mountain Range, the terrain was complex and rugged, and it was impossible to carry those bulky things.

Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor was going to drive the expedition in person, the soldiers were a little apprehensive, on the one hand, the fear in their hearts was suppressed, and on the other hand, they were also worried about the outcome of this expedition.

And the city wall was also full of people seeing them off.

The military spirit is united, and the people's heart is obedient!

Yang Mu sat in the chariot, sighing in his heart, everything he had done during this time was really not in vain, this is a bit of an emperor, only when the country has cohesion, can it face greater challenges.

To his surprise, he saw many young men in the crowd, shouting the slogan of Long Live Your Majesty one by one, and at the same time shouting and pleading, asking to join the army.

In this regard, Yang Mu did not respond positively, the 10,000 places agreed this time were determined taking into account the actual situation of the current Cangguo, on the one hand, the autumn harvest is imminent, and too much labor cannot be transferred, on the other hand, the economic situation does not allow it, after all, there are too many places to spend money at present, and the 800,000 taels of silver in the treasury seem to be a lot, but once the change is deepened, it will definitely cost money like flowing water in the initial stage, and it is impossible to support too many new troops to enlist.

Therefore, these 10,000 places are divided among the eight cities of Cangguo, and then handed over to Sima Hong and Shen An to practice together, the old and the new complement each other, it is estimated that it will not take long to become an army, and it only needs to be sharpened in one battle to become a new force.

"Report!"

A messenger rode his horse and galloped, and the other turned over and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the general, Taoyuan City and County ordered to send an envoy to report, the border was looted by bandits, dozens of people were killed and wounded, and countless livestock and grain were robbed, I implore Your Majesty to decide!" ”

Bandit raids?

Yang Mu and Wei Zhongquan glanced at each other, if they didn't come sooner or later, this kind of thing happened when the imperial court sent troops to quell the banditry, this timing is too coincidental, right?

Over the years, there have always been bandit rebellions, most of them gathered after the autumn harvest, and there were very few killings, and they generally went back after looting, like this situation of dozens of dead and wounded, which has not been seen for more than ten years.

The two of them knew it, but they were afraid that the actions of the Imperial City had already spread to the Bandit Mountain Range, and it was also the family gate valve in the country that sent a message overnight, otherwise it would be impossible to react so quickly.

Realizing that this matter could not be delayed, the army immediately waved its division, and 5,000 people were sent off by the people of the city, along the official road, towards Taoyuan City, if it went well, it could be arrived in the middle of the night, and it could enter the mountain tomorrow!

"General, it's very boring to rush, why don't you teach everyone to sing a military song to boost morale?"

Wei Zhongquan was stunned, fighting is fighting, what's the use of singing? Like the glamorous sound in the green building, can it still boost morale?

"Come, listen to me sing first...... The big knife was cut off on the heads of the bandits, and the compatriots who suffered all over the country, the day of the suppression of bandits has come, and the day of the suppression of bandits has come! There are valiant soldiers in front, and there are all the people of the whole country behind, and we will take the lead and march forward bravely, see the enemy, destroy him, destroy him...... Hey, why is the general with this expression, isn't I singing tactfully enough? ”

"Your Majesty......" Wei Zhongquan wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Our soldiers of Cangguo use spears, not big swords......
