The next day, Li Mu saw that Diao Chan was sleeping soundly, and got out of bed lightly. Li Mu came out of the house and saw Dongmei standing outside the door, Dongmei hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, Li Mu waved his hand and said: "Madame's health is fine, fry the ginger soup last night according to the previous recipe, and wait for Madame to have breakfast and lunch, you can take it." ”

Dongmei hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, the servant will definitely serve the lady well, and she will not make yesterday's mistakes again." ”

Li Mu snorted, went out, and came all the way to the recruiting office at the west gate of Yunwu City. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang hurriedly got up, wanting to step forward to give a salute, Li Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite." Second brother, Han Sheng, Gongming, and the three of them have worked hard, how is the current situation of recruitment? ”

Zhao Yun replied: "Big brother, more than 2,000 soldiers were recruited yesterday alone, all of them are young and middle-aged, and these people are still selected. ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Well, that's good!" I don't think we'll be able to complete our recruitment plan before the end of the day. ”

Li Mu looked at Zhao Yun and the others, and said with a smile: "Zilong, Hansheng, and Gongming, have you had breakfast?" I bought some porridge and cakes on the way, and we will eat some together. Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang were not polite, and picked up the porridge and cakes to eat.

Just when Li Mu and the four of them were eating and chatting, they saw two burly young men in military uniforms walking to the recruitment office. A soldier hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are the two little heroes recruited?" I think the two of you are too young, I'm afraid you don't meet the recruitment conditions of our Jincheng County. ”

One of the teenagers said loudly: "Master Jun, my name is Feng Xi, this is my brother Zhang Nan, we are sixteen years old this year. The two of us came here because we admired the prestige of Captain Li, and asked the military master to make it convenient. ”

Seeing that the two of them were burly and dignified, the soldier hesitated, turned around and ran to Li Mu, and said loudly: "Lord Qiyu Taishou, there are two sixteen-year-old boys over there who have come to recruit soldiers, but their age does not meet the conditions. ”

Li Mu drank the last mouthful of porridge, stood up, and said, "Take this official to have a look!" Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Xu Huang hurriedly drank porridge, also stood up, and followed behind Li Mu.

Li Mu and his entourage came to the registration office and saw the two teenagers at a glance. Li Mu nodded, his physical fitness was indeed good. Li Mu said loudly: "If the two strong men are from Jincheng County, they must know the conditions for recruiting soldiers. ”

The two teenagers hurriedly saluted Li Mu, and one of them said: "My lord, I am Feng Xi from Nanjun, the word Xiuyuan, this is my fellow brother, Zhang Nan, the word Wenjin." The two of us admired the prestige of the captain of Huqiang, and came to Jincheng County to join the army, hoping that it would be convenient for the adults. ”

Li Mu was stunned, and said secretly: Feng Xi, the word Xiuyuan, Zhang Nan, the word Wenjin. The general of the Shu Han Dynasty, when Liu Bei went east to conquer the Wu State, the two of them would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy in Yaoting, and they were loyal and righteous people.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay! Although the two of you are a little younger, you can also see that you are young heroes, if you study hard and practice hard, over time, you will be of great use. The two of you were placed under the account of Zhang Liao, the commander of the ministry, and temporarily assumed the position of tun chief. ”

Feng Xi and Zhang Nan were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed deeply to Li Mu, and said loudly: "Feng Xi and Zhang Nan swear to follow Master Li, the captain of Huqiang to the death!" ”

Zhang Liao took a step forward and said with a smile: "Xiu Yuan, Wen Jin, I, Zhang Liao, only recognize military regulations and military laws, if you two are really useful talents, naturally they will not be buried." By the way, the person in front of you is the captain of the Qiang Guard, Lord Li of Jincheng County. ”

Feng Xi and Zhang Nan saluted Zhang Liao, and then touched one knee to the ground towards Li Mu, and said loudly: "Feng Xi and Zhang Nan swear to follow the lord to the death. ”

Li Mu helped the two of them up with a smile and said, "You two also heard what Captain Zhang said just now, and don't let me down." Feng Xi and Zhang Nan patted their chests and promised that they would never disappoint Li Mu. Just when Li Mu was overjoyed that he had obtained two new available talents, a voice came, "Jincheng County Taishou is really thirsty for talent, eclectic to one pattern, and only uses people." ”

Li Mu's gaze crossed Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, and saw that the person who spoke was also a young man, burly and majestic, and there were three teenagers standing beside him, all of whom were burly and dignified, one of them was eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome and majestic appearance.

Li Mu said with a smile: "It seems that my Jincheng County is really full of brilliance, and the four of them came to Yunwu City, but they came to join the army?" ”

The young man who spoke just now replied: "I am Wang Ping, a native of Yizhou Brazil, and I have all the words. Seventeen this year, I admired the prestige of Captain Li of Huqiang, and I came to join the army! ”

Then the handsome young man said loudly: "I am Fu Yan, a native of Yiyang County, the word is brave, this year is sixteen, I admire the prestige of Lord Li, the captain of Huqiang, and I am here to join the army!" ”

Then an elegant and dignified young man said: "I am Luo Xian, a native of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and I am sixteenth this year, admiring the prestige of Lord Li, the captain of Huqiang, and I am here to join the army!" ”

In the end, a dignified young man said: "I am Fu Wei from Yiyang County, the word Jingzhong, seventeen this year, I admire the prestige of Lord Li, the captain of Huqiang, and I am here to join the army!" ”

Listening to the words of the four teenagers, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised, and said in his heart: Wang Ping, the characters are even, comparable to Wei Yan's famous Shu Han generals. Fu Yan, the word brave, both civil and military, a famous general in the late Shu Han Dynasty, the first battle of Yangping Pass, would rather die than give in. Luo Xian, the word Lingze, a famous general during the fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, defeated the Wu State Bu Association in Yong'an, blocking the famous general Lu Kang of Eastern Wu from advancing to the west. Fu Wei, the word Jingzhong, brave and martial, when Liu Bei went east to conquer the state of Wu, Yiting was defeated, and he would rather die than surrender after the break, and scolded 'Wu Dog, how can there be a Han general who surrendered?' ’。 These four people are all loyal and righteous people, especially Wang Ping, Fu Yan, and Luo Xian, who can also be generals who can take charge of themselves over time.

Li Mu looked at Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, and Wang Ping, and said with a smile: "Li Mu can get the help of six young heroes, why worry about the great cause!" ”

I saw Wang Ping and Feng Xi on one knee on the ground, and said loudly: "I will swear to follow the lord to the death!" ”

Li Mu was overjoyed, helped the six people up one by one, and said, "Fu Yan will stay by my side for the time being and be a personal guard." Luo Xian and Fu Wei were placed under the account of Zhao Yun, the commander of the ministry, and temporarily served as the head of the tun. Wang Ping returned to the account of Dian Wei and temporarily assumed the post of tun chief. The four of them hurriedly thanked Li Mu.

Zhao Yun looked at Luo Xian and Fu Wei and said: "Ling Ze and Jing Zhong, you two are temporarily under my account, I believe in the eyes of the lord, one day, you two will definitely get ahead." Don't let me and my lord down! ”

Luo Xian and Fu Wei bowed deeply to Li Mu and Zhao Yun, and said loudly: "Luo Xian and Fu Wei will definitely not disappoint the lord and Zhao Duwei!" ”

Li Mu stayed in the recruitment office and did not leave with Fu Yan until he had lunch with Zhao Yun and Wang Ping. Li Mu and Fu Tong exchanged martial arts and discussed the art of war while walking, and after some understanding, Li Mu was overjoyed, Fu He was really a general with Wen Tao's martial arts strategy. Li Mu saw that the sun was getting bigger, so he and Fu Yan sat on the tea stall on the street drinking tea and chatting.

I saw that at the low table next to Li Mu, there were two elegant scribes about seventeen or eighteen, one wearing a cyan robe and the other a white gown. The white-robed scribe took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother Bo Miao, you and I met in Longxi County, and we have seen and heard a lot all the way from Longxi County to Jincheng County, I don't know what Brother Bo Miao thinks about this world?" ”

The cyan scribe spat out the tea leaves in his mouth and said, "Presumably, Brother De'ang already knows it, and I'm afraid the world will not be peaceful today." Jincheng County is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, who would have thought that the four major families of Jincheng County would be wiped out overnight. This person is decisive in killing, widely benevolent in government, and his ambition is unspeakable! ”

The white-clothed scribe nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This person has armor in his heart, has good intentions in his belly, and cares about the people. If there is a change in the world, I am afraid that the person who will settle the world will be this person! ”

The scribe in Tsing Yi took a sip of tea and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small meal, this person only took two months to make the people of Jincheng County return to their hearts and subordinates to be sincere, and those who can be the right in the world are afraid that they are rare." Brother De'ang, can you see why this man built the new city? ”

The white-clothed scribe frowned and said, "This person is definitely not a person who rests on his laurels, does he want to accumulate thick and make a splash?" ”

The scribe in Tsing Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Brother De'ang, this person is proficient in the way of using soldiers, and the location of the new city is wonderful, controlling Liangzhou in the west and Guanzhong in the east." There are changes in the world, first take Liangzhou, then try to Guanzhong, Tiger step Guanxi, who in the world can compete for power? ”

The white-clothed scribe said with a happy face: "Brother Bo Miao, I can't hide it, I, Li Hui, thought about defecting to Jincheng County Taishou long before I came to Jincheng County. Today, after listening to Brother Bo Miao's words, it was like an initiation, and the mouth suddenly opened. Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters. I, Li Hui, am not talented, and I am willing to follow such a master to be a small official under the account, which is enough! ”

The Tsing Yi scribe nodded, and said with a smile: "Brother De'ang, can An go alone?" If this kind of master is missed by Deng Zhi, I am afraid that I will regret it for life! Go together, go together! As he spoke, they prepared to get up.

said that Li Mu had already paid attention to them when he heard Li Hui's first sentence asking Deng Zhi. When Li Mu heard Deng Zhi and Li Hui comment on what he did in Jincheng County, he was overjoyed. Then, when Li Mu heard that Deng Zhi and Li Hui saw his intention to build a new city, he was pleasantly surprised. When Li Mu heard that Deng Zhi and Li Hui were willing to defect to him, he was overjoyed. Li Mu knew that Deng Zhi, whose name is Bo Miao, is good at eloquence, strategy, military strategy, and government affairs, and is an outstanding diplomat. Li Hui, the word Deang, this person is good at military strategy, strategy, government affairs, and the power of commanding the army is also there, when Zhuge Liang conquered Meng in the south, Li Hui was a single leader, and his achievements were remarkable!

Seeing that Deng Zhi and Li Hui wanted to get up and leave, Li Mu hurriedly stood up, walked up to the two, gave a salute, and said, "The two gentlemen are really willing to assist the Taishou of Jincheng County?" ”

Deng Zhi and Li Hui looked at Li Mu, and saw that this person was tall and straight, handsome, righteous and awe-inspiring, and heroic. Deng Zhi and Li Hui glanced at each other, and Deng Zhi asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Lord Li Muli, the captain of Huqiang and the Taishou of Jincheng County?" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Sir's eyes are like torches, and he is exactly below!" ”

I saw Deng Zhi and Li Hui smiling at each other, touching one knee to the ground towards Li Mu, and said loudly: "Deng Zhi and Li Hui have to meet the Ming Lord, and please Ming Gong not give up, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Li Mu was overjoyed, hurriedly helped the two of them, bowed deeply to the two of them, and laughed loudly: "Li Mu can get the help of the two gentlemen, this is like a tiger with wings, why worry about the uncertainty of the world!" Deng Zhi and Li Hui thought in their hearts: This person is a corporal of Lixian, and he is the benevolent lord of the world! Fu Yan looked at his own lord like such a courteous corporal, and his admiration for Li Mu in his heart deepened!

Li Mu looked at Deng Zhi and Li Hui, and said with a smile: "Bo Miao, De'ang, if you don't dislike it, please come to the mansion and wash the dust for the two gentlemen in the Taishou Mansion tonight." ”

Deng Zhi and Li Hui were flattered and hurriedly thanked them. Subsequently, Li Mu, Fu Yan, Deng Zhi, and Li Hui walked all the way to the Taishou Mansion with a smile.
