Volume 2 Seeing the Dragon in the Wild Chapter 73 Happy Events of the Spring Festival
However, he said that the New Year is approaching, and the people who went to the city to escape the war have also returned to their hometowns one after another, and the county officials of Jincheng County have contributed money and grain to help the people return to their hometowns. The people are naturally grateful to the county officials, and they are even more grateful to Li Mu, the Taishou of Jincheng County.
On this day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, there are one after another happy events in Jincheng County. The first happy event is that the son of Zhang Liao and Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, was born and named Zhang Hu. At the beginning, when Zhang Liao and Zhen Jiang got married, Zhang Liao was twenty years old and Zhen Jiang was twenty-two years old. The second happy event is that the son of Xu Shu and Zhen Tuo, the second daughter of the Zhen family, was also born, named Xu Fu (I didn't find the name of Xu Shu's child, the author made it up!). The third happy event was that the son of Xu Huang and Zhen Dao, the third daughter of the Zhen family, was also born and named Xu Gai. The civil and military forces of Jincheng County naturally congratulated Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, and Xu Huang.
At the beginning, that is, in the first month of 184, the Zhen family married three daughters in a month, which was also passed down as a beautiful story. Li Mu was depressed, this time there were three more wives and sisters-in-law, and they were all his subordinates, if you want to say which subordinate Zhen Rong, the fourth daughter of the Zhen family, marries again, it is really shameful. However, Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, and Xu Huang are also interesting people, how dare Li Mu call them his wife and sister-in-law. What makes Li Mu most upset is that now the Zhen family is not only rich, but also has climbed to power. I hope that the Zhen family can know how to advance and retreat, and don't hinder him!
In the blink of an eye, on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Taishou Mansion was lively and festive. I saw Li Mu personally sticking to the Spring Festival couplets, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi holding Li Huang and Li Yao, standing aside to fight, a rare family happiness for the family. In the afternoon, Li Mu, Diao Chan, and Zhen Mi made dumplings by themselves, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi were naturally accustomed to Li Mu's approach, which was different from that of ordinary family men.
After the New Year, it is 185 years, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Mu accompanied his wife and children at home, and the family was happy, which was really a trace of peace and happiness stolen in the troubled times.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the civil and military forces of Jincheng County resumed their normal sitting, Zhao Yun and Li Hui went to Xiping County to preside over the recruitment of soldiers, and Xu Shu and Luo Xian went to Longxi County to assist Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Zhang Nan to preside over the recruitment of soldiers. Li Mu also goes out early and returns late every day, personally training five thousand dragon horses, the effect is naturally immediate, the dragon horses are all across the red high-headed horse, dressed in red clothes and black armor, armed with spears and axes, it is really murderous and imposing.
More than a month later, 30,000 young recruits recruited from Jincheng County, Xiping County, and Longxi County came to Ningcheng one after another. On this day, Xu Shu and Luo Xian returned to Ningcheng with more than 10,000 recruits from Longxi County, and Li Mu personally lectured these recruits, which did not end until an hour later. Seeing that Li Muxun's words were over, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord, I wonder if these recruits can still satisfy the lord?" ”
Li Mu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's really good, these recruits are sturdy, as long as they practice strictly, over time, they can also become elite soldiers like the veterans of Jincheng County!" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Lord, there is another happy event, I wonder if the lord wants to know?" ”
Li Mu patted Xu Shu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, don't sell Guanzi, come and listen!" ”
Xu Shu smiled and said slowly: "Lord, there are three more generals who admire the name of the lord and have come to join the lord!" ”
Li Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhi, why don't you take me to meet the three righteous men soon."
Xu Shu answered, turned around and waved his hand, only to see that three dignified-looking and burly teenagers walked up from under the stage, and they should all be eighteen years old. Nine, the three of them came to Li Mu, reached the ground on one knee, and said loudly: "Wu Lan, Lei Tong, and Ning swear to follow Ming Gong to the death, and ask Ming Gong to take him in!" ”
Li Mu was overjoyed, took a step forward, helped Wu Lan, Lei Tong, and Ning Sui up one by one, and laughed loudly: "The three are all real men, the talents of the future generals, Li Mu can get three followers, and he can't ask for them." In the future, the three of them are one of the many civil and military forces in Jincheng County, and they must work hard with one heart and one mind, study hard, don't waste their own skills, and don't let your lord and me down! ”
Wu Lan, Lei Tong, and Ning Sui were moved when they saw that Li Mu valued themselves so much, and the three of them gave Li Mu a big salute again, and said loudly: "Your subordinates must be of one heart and one mind!" will not live up to the grace of the lord! ”
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!" Wu Lan was placed under the account of Zhao Yun, the commander of the ministry, and temporarily served as the commander of the tun; Lei Tong was placed under the account of Huang Zhong, the commander of the ministry, and temporarily served as the head of the tun; Ning Sui returned to the account of the commander of the ministry and temporarily served as the head of the tun. ”
Wu Lan, Lei Tong, and Ning Sui were overjoyed, and thanked Li Mu repeatedly, and then turned around and left to report. Li Mu looked at the backs of the three of them, and said in his heart: Wu Lan, brave and powerful, first Liu Zhang's subordinates in history, and later followed Liu Bei, who once argued with Ma Chaotun and Wudu County, resisted Cao Hong, the general of Wei, and later when the army was defeated and retreated, he was attacked and killed by the leader of Yinping County, and died aggrieved! Lei Tong, very brave, in history, he was Liu Zhang's subordinates at first, and then followed Liu Bei, and died bravely when he marched into Hanzhong with Liu Bei. Ning Sui, Jiang Wei's deputy general in history, has strategy, courage, and is also a talent.
Now, 30,000 recruits have arrived, Li Mu ordered Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Luo Xian, and Fu Wei to train the soldiers, and the recruits rest for four hours every day from time to time, and the rest of the time is either to practice the formation or to train for a long distance.
On this day, Li Mu accompanied Diao Chan and Zhen Mi to tease Li Huang and Li Jiao in the courtyard, Diao Chan said softly: "Ah Mu, Huang'er and Jiao'er will be one year old, I heard that children who are over one year old can catch Zhou (the earliest originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the plot needs), or let's let Huang'er and Jia'er catch Zhou today, and see the children's ......aspirations in the future."
Before Li Mu could reply, Zhen Mijiao smiled and said sweetly: "Amu...... Just listen to Sister Cicada's ...... Let's catch Zhou for Huang'er and Jia'er today, okay......"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay...... Just listen to the two great beauties."
Subsequently, Li Mu asked people to prepare brushes, scrolls, bows, copper coins, and food for catching Zhou, and Li Mu specially took out his Pingxi Zhonglang seal and Taishou seal. Li Mu hugged Li Huang and Li Huang and put them in front of these items, Li Huang was two months older after all, and he first grabbed the Taishou seal, Li Huang slowly crawled over and grabbed the Pingxi Zhonglang General Seal, and the two brothers laughed and drooled. Suddenly, Li Huang reached out and grabbed the bow again, and when Li Huang saw this, he reached out and grabbed the scroll.
Li Mu looked at Li Huang and Li Huang so cute, and laughed loudly: "Huang'er and Huang'er are really not ordinary children, other people's children are all grasping one thing, and these two brothers are catching two things......
Although Li Mu is not an atheist, he didn't care too much about Li Huang and Li Yao's actions, but Diao Chan and Zhen Mi didn't think so, Diao Chan said with a smile: "Amu...... In the future, Huang'er is afraid that he will be a civil official who governs the people, and he must be a general who expands the territory......"
Zhen Mi paused and said softly, "Amu...... Sister Cicada...... Mi'er hopes that Ji'er can be like Huang'er, to be a civil official, if he becomes a military general, how dangerous it is to charge into battle......"
Li Mu looked at Li Huang and Li Mi having fun, stretched out his hand to hold Diao Chan and Zhen Mi in his arms, and said with a smile: "What kind of road the children will take in the future, on the one hand, it is their own choice, and on the other hand, we need the guidance of our parents. Mi'er don't worry, when Huang'er and Ji'er grow up, the world should be peaceful. ”
Diao Chan and Zhen Mi leaned on Li Mu's arms, hugged Li Mu back, and said softly: "I hope that Huang'er, Jia'er, and our future children can grow up safely......"
Li Mu kissed Diao Chan and Zhen Mi's foreheads, and said in a firm tone: "Cicada, Mi'er, don't worry, it will be!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Li Huang came to his first birthday, Li Mu simply let Li Huang also celebrate his first birthday in advance, and Li Mu specially made a birthday cake and a hat for the little birthday star. Diao Chan and Zhen Mi saw it, they were curious and surprised, and the two of them were coquettish towards Li Mu, and said that they would let Li Mu also make birthday cakes and birthday hats for them in the future, and Li Mu naturally readily agreed.
