said that when Xu Shu came to the Jicheng Mansion, Li Mu was flipping through the volumes of Hanyang County. Seeing Xu Shu's brisk expression, Li Mu said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, it seems that the matter is done!" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The lord first knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, and then drew salary from the bottom of the kettle, which is wonderful!" The intertwined situation of Jicheng is in an instant, and the big event is decided! ”

Li Mu nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, the power of Yang Fu, Zhao Ang and others in Jicheng should not be underestimated, besides, Yang Fu and others are unwilling to join our army, if they are still left in Jicheng, it will undoubtedly be like a man's back, and it will make it difficult for us to sleep!" ”

Xu Shu groaned: "My lord, my subordinates suggest that only the family property of Yang Fu and others be confiscated, let go of Yang Fu and others' families, and disperse them to the three counties of Xiping, Longxi, and Hanyang." ”

Li Mu nodded and said: "Yuanzhi's method is very good, it can not only break the situation of the powerful landlords in Jicheng, but also make the people accept our army with joy and sincerity." Yuan Zhike is fully responsible for this matter! Xu Shu replied and retired.

Three days later, Jicheng Assassin Shifu, put up lanterns, held a banquet, and Dian Wei and Wang Yi tied the knot. After nightfall, Dian Wei came to the wedding room leisurely, and saw Wang Yi sitting on the edge of the bed with a red hijab in a wedding dress, and instantly sobered up a lot, Dian Wei gently unveiled Wang Yi's hijab, just a glance, and was stunned by Wang Yi's flower and moon appearance, for a long time, and said with a smile: "Miss Wang...... I'm a rough man...... Won't make a woman happy...... Marry me Dian Wei, wronged Miss Wang! ”

Wang Yi stood up, looked at Dian Wei, who was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a slightly yellow complexion, and said in his heart: Fortunately, the husband is not an ugly man, don't look at him as a rough person, but he also knows cold and hot, and if you marry him, you will not be wronged.

Wang Yi saw Dian Wei staring at him, and said shyly: "The husband is a mighty general in all directions, and the concubine is just a grass people, I hope that the husband will take pity on the concubine!" ”

Dian Wei Han smiled: "Lady, don't worry, I Dian Wei will not let you be wronged, besides, my lord said that women are used to feel distressed." ”

Wang Yi was surprised and said, "Husband, the lord is really a special person......

Dian Weihan smiled and said: "Lady, the lord is not an ordinary person, what he said, even Xu Junshi has never heard of it, in the future, I will slowly tell the lady." ”

Wang Yi said softly: "Hmm...... Husband...... Let's rest......"

Dian Weihan responded with a smile, blew out the candle, picked up Wang Yi and came to the bed.

Xu Shu only took five days to properly handle the affairs of Yang Fu, Zhao Ang and other families, and Li Mu passed the policy of Jincheng County to Jicheng, and the people of Jicheng were pleasantly surprised, vying to praise Li Mu's great achievements. During this period, Li Mu sent Fu Yi and Zhang Wei to lead the army to capture Xixian. Li Mu transferred Luo Xian from Ningcheng, Fu Wei from Yuzhong City, and Lei Tong from Warrior City. Fu Wei was stationed in Xixian, and Luo Xian and Lei Tong were guarding Jicheng.

Seeing that the situation in Jicheng had stabilized, Li Mu led 12,000 Han troops to march east along the Wei River. When Li Mu's eastward army was twenty miles away from Shangqi, he reported that the rebels had abandoned the city and fled. Li Mu ordered the Han army to enter Shangtai City, and when the Han army came to Shangtai City, the city was in a mess, the people were wailing, and many women were unclothed. Li Mu was furious, and ordered Dian Wei and Fu Yi to lead 4,000 elite cavalry to the east to pursue and kill the rebels. Li Mu made an example to calm the people and distributed food to the people, and the people were all grateful.

Xu Shu saw Li Mu's solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." It's not entirely good that the Lord is making a big presence right now. A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen. Although the court has no way, it is difficult to disappear in an instant. At present, Shangtai City is already in the hands of our army, and if we continue to advance eastward, we will reach the land of Sanfu, and we will inevitably fight to the death with the main force of the rebels. Looking directly at the yuan, the lord can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yuan Zhi's words are exactly what I want. A day ago, Zilong came to report that our army had captured Chengji, Wangyuan, and Luoyang, and Gaixun of Ayang City was also ordered to return to Luoyang, and Ayang City was also in the hands of our army. At present, only one city of Longxian remains in the entire Hanyang County, and once the Longxian County is taken, our army will no longer advance eastward, waiting for the results of the decisive battle between the rebels and the imperial army. ”

Three hours later, Dian Wei and Fu Yan led the army back to Shangqi City, in this battle, the Han army suffered more than 100 casualties, beheaded more than 3,000 rebels, and captured more than 2,000 horses. Li Mu rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and Li Mu waited for two days in Shangqi City, and then received the news that Zhao Yun had captured Longxian County. In this eastward expedition to Hanyang County, the Han army lost more than 1,800 people; beheaded more than 28,000 rebels, and beheaded more than 4,000 Qiang soldiers; More than 20,000 horses were seized, and copper coins and ordnance were not counted.

Li Mu ordered the Han army to garrison the line of Ayang, Jieting, Longxian, and Shangqi. Li Mu reappointed the county magistrates of Hanyang County; Eliminate and screen the original old and weak soldiers in Hanyang County; re-measure the land and return the land encroached upon by the powerful landlords of Hanyang County to the people; Li Mu organized the people to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland on the premise of protecting vegetation. The people are all grateful to Li Mu, and the people of Hanyang County have returned to their hearts.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to July 13, 185, and the wind shadow came to report that the rebels had defeated Dong Zhuojun in the Qishan area, and the left cavalry general Huangfu Song had been dismissed by the imperial court and returned to Beijing. After some discussion, Li Mu and Xu Shu decided to continue to stand still and wait for the results of the imperial court.

However, it was said that Wang Guo and Han Sui led their troops to surround Maoling City, and Maoling City County made Liang Yue have no choice but to defend it. Han then sent a message to Liang Yue, bluntly saying that if the city was not opened and surrendered, once the city was broken, the city would be slaughtered for three days. Liang Yue hesitated, so he summoned the civil and military forces of Maoling City to come to discuss, except for the soldier Cao Shi Ma Teng, the rest of the people persuaded Liang Yue to open the city and surrender. Liang Yue had no choice but to surrender in Kaicheng, Ma Teng wanted to commit suicide to show that he and the rebels were incompatible, but he was blocked by the civil and military forces of Maoling City.

In order to buy people's hearts, the kingdom and Han Sui did not commit any offense with the people, and they also had a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days for the officials of Maoling City. In the continuous banquet, Han Sui also found that Ma Teng was a rare talent, and Han Sui invited Ma Teng to a separate banquet every once in a while. How could Ma Teng not know Han Sui's thoughts, and knew that he couldn't leave Maoling City for the time being, so he had to make peace with Han Sui.

In August 185, the imperial court appointed Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and Yuan Peng, the executive of Jinwu, as the deputy marshal. Dong Zhuo was appointed as the general of the Broken Captives, and Zhou Shen was appointed as the general of Dangkou, both of whom were under the command of Zhang Wen. The imperial court recruited more than 100,000 foot cavalry from all over the country and handed them over to Zhang Wen's command. Zhang Wen led the army to join forces with Dong Zhuo's army in Xianyang, and then marched westward. Wang Guo and Han Sui saw that the Han army was strong, so they led the army to evacuate the Huaili and Maoling areas, and stationed the army on the front line of Meiyang and Wugong. Ma Teng's family was also forced to leave Maoling City with the rebels.

Zhang Wen, Yuan Peng, Dong Zhuo, and Zhou Shen saw that the Han army was outnumbered, and attacked the front line of Meiyang and Wugong garrisoned by the rebels several times, but they lost their troops and returned in vain. After that, the Han army and the rebel army were in a stalemate again. Wang Guo and Han Sui also knew that Zhang Wen's army was in the east of him, and Li Mu's army was in his west, and the result of holding each other was definitely not conducive to himself, so he could only break through to the south or north, and to the south, it was the Hanzhong area, with complex terrain and rugged mountain roads, which was not conducive to cavalry combat. To the north, it is Anding County of Liangzhou, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to cavalry battles and easy to escape.

In mid-October, the Kansai rebels ran out of food and began to move north into Anding-gun. Zhang Wen learned of the rebels' flight north, and ordered Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong and others to pursue the rebels separately. Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong and others caught up with the rebels in the areas of Quail, Yinpan, Linjing, and Pengyang in Anding County, Liangzhou, and won three battles and three victories, beheaded more than 15,000 ranks, and captured more than 8,000 horses. Zhang Wen, the general of the cavalry, ordered the Han army to stop the pursuit, and Zhang Wen sent Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong to recover the areas of Yongxian, Chencang, Wangxian, and Yulu in Youfufeng.

However, it was said that Li Mu waited from July to August for the news that the imperial court sent troops again, and Li Mu sent a large number of scouts to find out the news of the rebels and the Han army of the imperial court, and finally found out the news that the rebels were going north to Anding County in early October. In mid-October, Li Mu ordered Wu Lan and Hu Du Zhen to guard the street pavilion, Ayang, and Longxian, and ordered Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Jiang Wei to lead 10,000 elite horses out of the street pavilion and enter the right Fufeng County and Yu Elk in the east. Li Mu personally handsome Long Xiang rode and 5,000 light horsemen out of Shangqi, along the Wei River eastward, all the way like a bamboo, until the right to support the wind Chencang, Li Mu moved more than 20,000 people around Chencang to return to Shangtai.

At the end of October, Li Mu and Zhao Yun returned to Hanyang County, and this time they went out to support the wind, and the Han army had almost no casualties; nearly 40,000 people were relocated; beheaded more than 20,000 rebels; The balance of 10,000 horses was seized, and the copper coins and ordnance were not counted.

Li Mu and Zhao Yun left Dong Zhuojun with only a few empty cities and hundreds of miles of borderless land.
