Just after the next hour, Li Mu came to the Taishou Mansion, but saw that Jincheng County was both civil and military. Li Mu came to the main seat and sat down, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, now the two counties of Xiping and Longxi are owned by us?" What should I do? ”

Xu Shu groaned: "Lord, if there is chaos today, a benevolent lord like the lord is needed to save the people from hanging upside down." As the old saying goes: 'If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, and if you can't do it, you will suffer it.'" 'The two counties of Longxi and Xiping were exchanged for blood and heads by the soldiers of my Jincheng County, and the lord can accept them with peace of mind. As for the imperial court, it is already stormy now, so naturally there is no time to take care of it. ”

Li Mu nodded, and said loudly: "What Yuan Zhi said is exactly what I want. Helplessly, the population of Xiping and Longxi counties withered, with only more than 40,000 people in Xiping County and more than 80,000 people in Longxi County. If it is to recruit soldiers, I am afraid it will be even more difficult! ”

Li Hui groaned: "Lord, don't worry, Jincheng County treats soldiers and their families so well, if these policies can be passed on to Xiping and Longxi counties, the people will naturally join the army." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "What De'ang said is reasonable, after the New Year, you can officially recruit soldiers, and Jincheng County can also recruit soldiers again." My plan is to recruit another 30,000 new soldiers, so that the number of troops available to our army will reach 60,000. When the time comes, you will be able to attack and defend freely. ”

Everyone nodded yes, and Zhao Yun said loudly: "Big brother, there are a lot of good horses captured in Jincheng County right now, and you can train more cavalry!" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "What the second brother said is exactly what I want, we not only have to train more cavalry, but also improve the overall quality of the soldiers, so that we can kill the enemy on the horse and deploy the formation when we dismount." I'm going to set up another heavy cavalry, and the number of them can be controlled at 5,000. The heavy cavalry was invincible, so they were named 'Dragon Cavalry' and trained by me. However, the heavy cavalry also has shortcomings, strict requirements for war horses and armor, insufficient mobility, weak continuous combat ability, and special money-burning! ”

Zhang Ji said loudly: "My lord, now that Jincheng County has enough money and food, whether it is to build a dragon cavalry or recruit soldiers, there is no need to worry. ”

Li Mu was overjoyed, as long as he had money and food. Deng Zhi muttered: "Lord, my subordinates went to Xiping and Longxi with the army this time, and found that the Huangzhong area of Xiping County and the Taohe area of Longxi County are all fertile soils. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "What Bo Miao said is very true, if we can, we can also let the soldiers in the field, so that our soldiers can also be self-reliant!" ”

Everyone listened to Li Mu's suggestion, and they all said that the lord was wise and respectful to Li Mu more and more. Li Mu continued: "I don't know what news has come from Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang in the past two months? ”

Xu Shu replied: "My lord, when Song Jian and Bian Zhang plundered Jincheng County, Wang Guo and Han Sui also led the army to attack Hanyang County, Zuo Chang was greedy for life and feared death, regardless of the life and death of the people, but only guarded Liangzhou Prefecture to govern Ji County, resulting in Hanyang County except for Ji County and Ayang The two cities were not broken, and the rest of the counties have been broken by the rebels. The two cities of Ji County and Ayang were able to defend it, thanks to Shi Gaixun, the magistrate of Hanyang County, who was very famous in the hearts of the military and civilians of Liangzhou. At first, the rebels marched into Ayang, and they could not be broken for a long time, but they were broken by Gai Xun, and then the rebels turned to attack Ji County, Gai Xun went out of Ayang, and reprimanded Han Sui, Wang Guo, etc., and the rebels also knew that Gai Xun was famous, so they withdrew their troops to guard Luoyang, Longxian, and Jieting. If the subordinates are not bad as expected, the rebels should enter Kou Sanfu and enter Anding County in the north. ”

Li Mu nodded, and said loudly: "Since Zuo Chang can still survive, we don't have to pay attention to him." After the coming year, I personally commanded the army to march east to Hanyang County, first pacified the rebels of Hanyang County, and then waved the army to the north to pacify Wuwei County. As for the rebels' eastward march to Sanfu and northward march to Anding County, their own imperial court will send troops! ”

Everyone saw that Li Mu had already planned properly, but he only made up for some details of the problem. Li Mu and Jincheng County Wenwu chatted for two more hours, and when they saw that it was time for lunch, Li Mu asked everyone to disperse and go down to eat.

When Li Mu returned to the Taishou Mansion, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were waiting for Li Mu to eat. Li Mu teased Li Huang and Li Ji for a while, and then sat down to eat. Li Mu saw that the meals on the table were arranged according to his own taste, and he knew that it must have been prepared by Diao Chan and Zhen Mi in the kitchen, and he was moved.

Li Mu looked at Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, and said with a smile: "Cicada, Mi'er, I'm not a picky eater, why are all the meals prepared for me." I see, it's time to change chefs, dare to snub my two beauties! ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi pinched Li Mu casually, and said coquettishly: "Big villain...... Slippery...... It's not like our sister told the kitchen to do it......"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Hmm...... Yes, I am indeed a 'flamboyant tongue', cicadas and Mi'er should know best! ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi paused, and then they reacted, only to see the two of them Xia Fei's cheeks, annoyed and ashamed, and pinched Li Mu's waist a few times, not forgetting to turn around, Li Mu, who was in pain, grinned. Diao Chan and Zhen Mi couldn't stop laughing when they saw Li Mu like this, and after a while, Zhen Mi said angrily: "Amu...... You big pervert...... Boudoir Private Affairs...... How do you say it in public......"

Li Mu looked at Zhen Mi with a playful expression, and said with a smile: "Oh...... Mi'er is bad at learning...... I just said 'flamboyant tongue', how did it become a private matter of the boudoir in Mi'er's mouth......"

Seeing Li Mu making fun of Zhen Mi like this, Diao Chan also teased Zhen Mi a few words, Zhen Mi said with a crimson face: "It's okay for this big villain to bully Mi'er...... Even Sister Cicada bullied Mi'er...... Mi'er was angry...... Ignore you......"

Of course, Li Mu and Diao Chan knew that Zhen Mi was not really angry, but they still coaxed Zhen Mi, and after such a fuss, the food was also a little cold, and the three of them started to eat. Suddenly, Li Mu looked at Diao Chan and Zhen Mi, and said without saying anything: "Cicada, Mi'er, you know...... How can it be...... Don't let a woman conceive a child? ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi stiffened, slowly raised their heads, and said with tears in their eyes: "Does the husband dislike our sisters...... Don't you want the two concubines to give birth to another heir......

Li Mu was stunned, the secret way was not good, and he didn't even call "Ah Mu" anymore, probably because he was wronged. Li Mu hurriedly said: "Cicada, Mi'er, how can I dislike the two ladies, the two ladies are virtuous and virtuous, and their appearance is even more captivating, and Li Mu X has cultivated the blessing to marry the two ladies." I, Li Mu, was just a cloth cloth at the beginning, and the two ladies never gave up, and it was difficult for Li Mu to repay this kind of kindness in his life. The so-called "loving husband and wife", grace in the front, love in the back, how could Li Mu dislike the two ladies. ”

Li Mu saw that Diao Chan and Zhen Mi no longer looked aggrieved, and then said, "That's it...... It's that Huang'er and Jia'er are still young, and if the two ladies are pregnant, it will be very hard. I've said it a long time ago, the two ladies can have as many children as they want, but it's hard to have children, and it's dangerous. Cicadas, Mi'er, do you understand? ”

Diao Chan and Zhen Mi heard Li Mu say this, knowing that Li Mu loved the two of them, and their hearts were sweet and happy, the two looked at Li Mu, Ying Ying smiled, and said softly: "Thank you Ah Mu for taking pity on Cicada and Mi'er." My sister didn't know what could be done to avoid getting pregnant. ”

Li Mu saw that Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were no longer aggrieved, and his heart was also stable, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't know, I'll just pay attention." ”

Li Mu saw Diao Chan and Zhen Mi looking at him in surprise, so he leaned into the two of them and whispered a few words in their ears, only to see Diao Chan and Zhen Mi with crimson faces, and they were waiting for Li Mu with a pink fist, but Li Mu couldn't stop laughing.
