However, he said that after Li Mu rested in the western capital for two days, he left more than 3,300 Han troops to Wang Ping and Feng Xi, so that they could defend Xiping County. Wang Ping and Feng Xi naturally promised to make Xiping County foolproof.

Li Mu, Deng Zhi, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Jiang Wei, Fu Yan, and Zhang Nan led 10,000 Han troops to set off from the western capital, all the way non-stop, day and night. A day later, the Han army came to Linqiang City, and that night, Li Mu received the good news from Zhao Yun from Jincheng County, and his heart was overjoyed. Li Mu took Zhao Yun's good news to everyone and circulated it, and everyone was overjoyed after reading it.

Li Mu ordered Zhao Yun to show the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang, and sent their heads over. Li Mu ordered a heavy reward for the soldiers of the three armies of Jincheng County.

The next day, just after the hour, the Han army continued to march eastward, and after passing through the city of Poqiang, it began to march to the southeast, and the Han army marched for two hours and came to the boundary of Longxi County. Li Mu ordered Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei to lead an army of 3,000 to go first, and he led a 7,000 Han army to arrive later.

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei led the army all the way to the west gate of Heguan City, Longxi County, about an hour later. I saw that at this time, the gate of Heguan City was wide open, and I saw scattered people entering and leaving the city gate from a distance. Zhang Liao looked at Jiang Wei and said; "Boyo, now that the Heguan army is empty, you and I will lead the army commander straight in, but it can be decided with one drum!"

Jiang Wei groaned: "Wenyuan, if the Qiang soldiers see our army coming, pull up the suspension bridge, and close the city gate, how about it." It is better to order the soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people, and mix into the city from the four gates of Heguan, and tonight, ask the soldiers to open the west gate of Heguan City. When the time comes, if you lead the army to fight again, you will definitely be able to take Heguan City. ”

Zhang Liao stroked his palms and laughed: "Boyo's plan is very good, then act according to the plan!" Subsequently, Zhang Liao selected a hundred soldiers and asked them to pretend to be ordinary people and blend in from the four gates of Heguan City.

As soon as the time arrived, the west gate of Heguan City was opened, and in a moment, Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei led the army into the city, Zhang Liao chased and killed the Qiang soldiers who fled in all directions, Jiang Wei led the army to climb the city wall and control the four gates of Heguan City. In this battle, no one in the Han army was killed; beheaded more than 800 Qiang soldiers; all the family members of the captive Bian Zhang; More than 3,000 usable horses were seized, and the grain, grass and ordnance were not counted! It turned out that more than 100 Han soldiers were able to capture the west gate of Heguan City because Bian Zhang took away all the elite Qiang soldiers, leaving all the old, weak, sick and disabled.

The next day, Zhang Liao went out to Anmin, beheaded all the family members of Bian Zhang, and beheaded the young and strong Qiang people in Heguan City and the Qiang children who were taller than the wheel. The people of Heguan City were so frightened that they fell to the ground and begged for mercy, and Zhang Liao persuaded him with kind words, and the people left with confidence.

Zhang Liao left only 500 men to guard Heguan City, so he and Jiang Wei led 2,500 Han troops all the way east, and arrived at Caohan City an hour later. At this time, the city gate of Caohan City was also wide open, and scattered people entered and exited the city gate. The Han army concocted the same method and took the city of Caohan that night. In this battle, no one in the Han army was killed; captured all of Song Jian's family members and beheaded more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers; More than 6,000 usable horses were seized, and no money, food, or ordnance were counted.

The next day, Zhang Liao went out to the list of Anmin, beheaded all the family members of Song Jian, and executed all the Qiang children who were young and strong and taller than the wheels. Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei divided their troops and took down Baishi and Daxia in one day. Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei led their troops back to Caohan and waited for the arrival of Li Mu's army.

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei waited for a long time, and Li Mu's 7,000 Han troops came to Caohan City. Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei invited Li Mu and his party into the mansion, everyone sat down, Li Mu looked around, stroked his palms and laughed: "Third brother, Boyo, it is really a noble and fast soldier, three days to run hundreds of miles, even the battle of Lianke, the famous general of the ancients, I am afraid it is nothing more than that!" ”

Zhang Liao and Jiang Wei naturally made a polite concession. Li Mu said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, now, one-third of the land in Longxi County is owned by my Jincheng County, I want to take down the remaining land in Longxi County, but is there any faster way?" ”

Deng Zhi said with a smile: "Lord, there are two magic weapons in this Caohan City right now, which can help our army and soldiers to obtain the remaining land in Longxi County without blood!" ”

Everyone was at a loss, and Li Mu groaned: "What Bo Miao said, but the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang? ”

Deng Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "The lord is wise! Now, Song Jian and Bian Zhang have been ambushed, and the Qiang soldiers of Heguan and Caohan have all been wiped out. And Han Sui and Wang Guo took the rebels of Wudu County and Longxi County to the north into Hanyang County. At present, the entire Longxi County is empty of troops, which is a gift from God to the lord. ”

Li Mu nodded and said loudly: "Okay! Tomorrow, you can bring the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang to the counties of Longxi County, and if you dare to have someone who does not surrender, you will lead the army to capture it! ”

Everyone nodded yes. On this night, Li Mu rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, and the Han army was naturally overjoyed.

The next day, his own herald took the heads of Song Jian and Bian Zhang to recruit the counties of Longxi County. Within five days, the seven counties of Longxi County, Angu, Shouyang, Xiangwu, Didao, Lintao, and Didao all surrendered, and the county commander of the seven counties personally escorted money, grain, and ordnance to meet Li Mu in Caohan, and bluntly swore allegiance to Li Mu. Li Mu gave everyone a favor and exercise, and the county magistrates of Longxi County were subdued by Li Mu.

Li Mu saw that it was now the twentieth day of the lunar month, and besides, the Han army had been fighting for several months, and the soldiers were a little tired, so he decided to return to Ningcheng. Li Mu left 4,000 Han troops to Zhang Liao, let him guard the first line of Didao and Shouyang, and left 3,000 Han troops to Dian Wei and Zhang Nan, and let him guard the first line of Yanxian, Xiangwu and Didao. Li Mu also issued an order to order Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Zhang Nan to recruit a large number of troops in Longxi County, but the soldiers recruited must be Han Chinese, and they must be strong. Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Zhang Nan received their orders!

Li Mu, Deng Zhi, Jiang Wei, and Fu Yan led 4,000 Han troops to leave Caohan, and after Great Xia, they traveled non-stop, day and night, and finally returned to Ningcheng the next day. The civil and military people of Jincheng County, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Zhang Ji, and Fu Wei, went out of the city for ten miles to greet Li Mu and his party. When everyone saw each other, it was naturally a shh

Li Mu entered Ningcheng and separated from Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and their entourage also knew that their lord missed the two housewives and the two little sons, so they said goodbye to Li Mu with a smile. Li Mu walked quickly all the way to the Taishou Mansion, and as soon as he walked to the street, he saw two familiar shadows in the distance, one bright red and the other pale pink.

Li Mu shouted "Cicada, Mi'er......" and ran towards Diao Chan and Zhen Mi. In fact, when Li Mu's figure appeared at the corner of the street, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi had already seen Li Mu. At this moment, the pretty faces of Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were already full of tears, of course, tears of joy. Diao Chan and Zhen Mi hugged Li Huang and Li Yao, and the lotus step moved lightly and walked quickly towards Li Mu.

In a few breaths, Li Mu came to the two, Li Mu looked around the faces of Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, and then looked at Li Huang and Li Yao, stretched out his arms, and hugged the mother and son. Diao Chan and Zhen Mi choked up and couldn't speak, Li Mu's heart was also sour, I am afraid that there will be scenes like this in the future, I am afraid that there will be many people. Li Mu hugged Diao Chan and Zhen Mi for a while before letting go, Li Mu gently wiped away the tears on their faces, and said with a gentle expression: "Cicada, Mi'er, the two ladies are worried about me, take care of the children, and take care of housework, the two ladies have worked hard!" ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi shook their heads, looked at Li Mu, and said softly: "Cicada and Mi'er are not hard, they just want to ...... I really want Ah Mu, Ah Mu will return safely......"

Li Mu nodded, and when he was about to speak, Li Huang grabbed Li Mu's armor and shouted glutinously: "Ba...... Ba, Daddy...... Dad" Li Yi stretched out his arms in Zhen Mi's arms, kicked his legs, looked at Li Mu, and laughed while "babbling".

Li Mu's eyes were a little moist, and he rubbed Li Huang and Li Jiao's little faces with his hands, and said in a choked voice: "Huang'er will shout 'Daddy', and Huang'er will recognize Daddy at once, ...... has really grown up a lot."

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi looked at each other and smiled, and said with a smile: "Amu...... Why don't you hug Huang'er and ......?"

Li Mu paused, and said with a smile: "The armor hasn't been taken off yet, what should I do if I hurt the child?" ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi said angrily: "Huang'er, how can Huang'er and Jiao'er be so delicate!" ”

Li Mu thought about it, too, Li Huang and Li Huang are both boys, and in this troubled world, they can't be so delicate. Li Mu stretched out his hand to hug Li Huang and Li Yao, only to see that these two little milk bags were not afraid of life at all, and they became restless in Li Mu's arms. Li Huang and Li Huang stretched out their chubby little hands and began to scratch and scratch Li Mu's face, which made Li Mu laugh more than once. Diao Chan and Zhen Mijiao smiled and looked at the appearance of the father and son, and their hearts were full of happiness.

Li Mu suddenly thought that this was still outside, it was cold, but don't freeze Diao Chan and Zhen Mi's mother and son. Li Mu said with a smile: "Cicada, Mi'er, it's cold outside, let's go home and talk." ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mijiao responded with a smile. I saw that Li Mu was walking in the middle with Li Huang and Li Jiao, and Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were holding Li Mu's arms with a happy face and walking on both sides. It's a happy scene of envy of heaven and man.

The family had a reunion dinner with joy and joy. Li Mu, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi complained to each other about the pain of lovesickness, and they didn't go to rest until they were children.

Now, Zhen Mi has long been accustomed to sleeping with the three of them. This night, Li Muke bullied Diao Chan and Zhen Mi several times, and it was not until Yin Shi that the three of them fell asleep happily.
