Since Li Shimin returned to Yanmen, the position of Taishou of this Ma Yi was taken over by Li Xiaohe, a member of the Li clan. Li Xiaohe and Li Xiaogong are of the same generation, but they are almost forty years old, which is the same age as Li Yuan. Li Xiaohe Wenwen is a weak scholar, that is, he does not have the bravery of Li Xiaogong, nor the strategy of Li Yuan. If it weren't for the fact that Li Yuan had just taken control of Hedong at this time, he had to rely on these Li Valve clansmen to take charge of various places, and a person like him would never be qualified to sit in this Taishou position.

In the flower hall, a banquet is being set up, and a group of dancing girls are dancing with red sleeves, making music with silk and bamboo.

In the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, beautiful snow-white thighs, red sleeves flying, and infinite spring.

Although Li Xiaohe is not a martial artist, he has also received a lot of Li Yuan's orders before he came, and he knows that he, the Taishou, is just here to hang a name, and by the way, to monitor the civil and military officials in Mayi City. His daily task in Ma Yi is also simple, that is, he is not engaged in government affairs. It doesn't care about the military, but it's a small banquet for three days. On the fifth day, there was a big banquet, and he only cared about beckoning the officials of all sizes in Mayi City to eat, drink and have fun. Just strengthen the feelings.

But at this time, in the sound of silk and bamboo, Li Xiaohe stroked his gray beard and squinted his eyes at the song and dance. touched the snow-white thighs of the beauties around him, but he had no intention of drinking.

Li Xiaohe is not the only one who appreciates singing and dancing in the hall. There is also the civil and military forces in Mayi County, Liu Wuzhou, who is the captain of Mayi, also sits in it, and on his other side is Li Daolin, an eagle general from Li Valve, a fierce man who is thirty years old.

Liu Wuzhou sat there with the same expression. Calmly drank the wine and looked at the beauty. Li Daolin saw the red sleeves flying, and the spring was infinite, and he also looked at the dancing singer in a daze.

Li Xiaohe raised his glass. But let it go. He let out a long sigh. Liu Wu asked, "What is the matter with your sigh?" ”

Li Xiaohe squinted at Liu Wuzhou and shook his head slowly, "It's nothing." Then he waved his hand and said, "Stand down, all of you." ”

The singer and the dancing girl retreated, Li Daolin came back to his senses, saw the depression on Li Xiaohe's face, and smiled: "My lord, I think the women here are not to my liking, so I will go and find them for you again?" ”

Before he was about to get up, Li Xiaohe had already waved his hand impatiently and said, "Sit down." You're thinking about women all day long, don't you know that we're in a precarious situation right now? ”

Although he is now a Ma Yi Taishou. The official position is neither high nor low, but he also knows that if there is chaos today. I don't know how long I can sit in this position.

Originally, he was sitting in this position with a good taste, but since it was rumored that the head of the family had killed the monarch in Taiyuan, he had already sensitively felt that the situation had changed. When other forces in the world issued articles to denounce the head of the family, Li Yuan, he became more and more worried day by day.

Even Mayi is no longer stable, and the bandits who had disappeared have resurrected and are in turmoil everywhere, and he is always worried about the safety of Mayi County. In the steppes to the north, although the Eastern Turks were defeated, the Western Turks had expanded to the border. In addition, it is obvious that the landlords and heroes of Ma Yi have gradually distanced themselves from him, in the past, he held banquets and was always full of friends, but today, it is only the officials of Ma Yi who come.

Liu Wuzhou said suddenly: "I actually know a little bit about Lord Taishou's worries. ”

Li Xiaohe said, "What do you know? ”

Liu Wuzhou said with a smile: "Now that there are bandits everywhere, the Holy Lord and the Tang King are quite worried. Taishou is worried about the holy earth, and it is inevitable that he will be worried. ”

Li Xiaohe nodded again and again, and secretly said that this Liu Wuzhou is indeed a more knowledgeable person, much stronger than his young nephew Li Daolin. But it's a pity that Li Shimin mentioned it to him once before he came, and asked him to guard against Liu Wuzhou. This made him never put Liu Wuzhou in a credible circle.

Everyone chatted about the increasing number of bandits outside, and they were all deeply worried.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and a guard suddenly ran up. …,

Li Daolin recognized at a glance that this was his personal guard, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, why are you so unruly, and you actually came here." ”

"Report to the general, more than a thousand bandits suddenly appeared in Shanyin Town, twenty miles south of the city, and they are looting everywhere!"

Li Daolin stood up as soon as he heard this, "Is this serious?" ”

The guard hurriedly said, "This is the military information sent back by the ranger fast horse!" ”

A hint of an imperceptible smile flashed across the corners of Liu Wuzhou's mouth on the side, and he got up and asked for an order, "Taishou, general, this blindless bandit, more than a thousand people dare to come and loot twenty miles near my Mayi City, it is really lawless." The last general asked for an order, willing to lead 200 cavalry from his headquarters to exterminate the bandits, cut off the heads of the thieves, and present them to the two adults. ”

Although Li Daolin is young, he has always followed Li Shimin's army before, but he has some skills in fighting. More than a thousand bandits really didn't let him take it to heart, and without thinking about it, they planned to agree to Liu Wuzhou's request.

"Uh-huh"

Li Xiaohe, the Taishou on the side, suddenly coughed a few times, "General Li, the thieves gather thousands of people, and you must not underestimate the enemy." Although Captain Liu is brave, there are only 200 people in the headquarters after all. For the sake of safety, I think it is better to ask General Li to personally lead 1,000 men and horses to suppress the bandits. ”

Before Li Xiaohe came to Mayi, Li Shimin personally instructed him to try to beware of Liu Wuzhou, let alone give him the opportunity to lead his troops into battle. Originally, this was because Li Shimin felt Liu Wuzhou's resentment towards him, so he planned to suppress him.

Li Daolin didn't care about it after hearing this, and said to Liu Wuzhou after drinking the wine in the cup, "Then the city will be taken care of by Captain Liu, and the last general will come when he goes." Don't stop this dinner, there are more than a thousand bandits, but half an hour is enough. ”

Liu Wuzhou stepped forward with a smile and said, "In the past, Yun Chang Wen drank Huaxiong, and now I have General Li to break thousands of thieves in the middle of laughter, and in the future, General Li's name will be a celebrity Qianguer." ”

After receiving Liu Wuzhou's praise, Li Daolin was even more proud, and he didn't stay any longer, and immediately returned to the barracks to point 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, opened the city gate, and went to Shanyin Town to kill violently.

There were no more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and at this time, Li Daolin took 3,000 at a time, and there were only 2,000 horses left in the city. Many of the rest are old and weak soldiers, and there are only more than 1,000 soldiers left who can fight. Among them, there are 200 under the command of Liu Wuzhou, plus the control of Yuan Junzhang and other henchmen, half of the remaining more than 1,000 people are already in Liu Wuzhou's control.

Today's bandit military situation is nothing more than a lie he arranged for the ranger to send a report. Twenty miles is not long, but it is not short, and when Li Daolin arrives in Shanyin Town and does not find the bandits and then comes back, it will take an hour or two. With this time, it was enough for him to launch a mutiny and take the city of Mayi.

The silk and bamboo banquet in Taishou Mansion continued, but most of the people in the city had already fallen asleep. Even the soldiers in the barracks mostly slept.

In the middle of the night, groups of people and horses gathered on the street, all wearing armor and carrying knives, and a white towel tied around their necks. And Jin Ke, Yuan Junzhang and other Liu Wuzhou's henchmen were also holding swords at this time, commanding a team of men and horses with a solemn face, and quickly seized important positions in Mayi City according to the previous plan.

Not long after, the four gates of Mayi had fallen into the hands of Liu Wuzhou, and the hundreds of soldiers in the barracks were also prisoners of Liu Wuzhou in a daze. It had only been half an hour since Li Daolin left the city, and Liu Wuzhou and others had already quietly controlled the entire Mayi City.

In the Taishou Mansion, the joy of silk and bamboo continued, and one of Liu Wuzhou's guards ran to his side and told him the good news.

Liu Wuzhou laughed when he heard this, and the civil and military officials of Mayi City in the hall were all puzzled, and Li Xiaohe said with a somewhat unhappy face, "But I don't know why Captain Liu is so happy, why don't you say it and have fun with me?" ”…,

Liu Wuzhou got up and walked slowly to Li Xiaohe's side, his eyebrows raised, his voice was not loud, but everyone heard him, "Liu wants to borrow something from Lord Taishou to use, and please ask Taishou to agree!" ”

Li Xiaohe smiled and said, "Who in this hall doesn't know that Xiaowei Liu's family is rich in Hedong, and it is strange that you actually borrowed something from the old man." Which courtesan in this hall do you have a crush on? The old man is in a good mood today, as long as you like it, just take it away, and the old man will give it to you. ”

Liu Wuzhou's eyes narrowed, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker, "I will use my head in the next loan Taishou item, please agree!" ”

Li Xiaohe Teng stood up and glared at Liu Wuzhou, "Say it again!" ”

"I want to borrow the head of the Taishou item!"

A burst of exclamations sounded in the hall, Li Xiaohe's face turned pale, and he roared angrily, "Presumptuous, this official will not be held accountable for your drunken nonsense, and you will not retreat quickly!" ”

Liu Wuzhou smiled and turned around.

After taking a few steps towards the entrance of the hall, he drank the wine in his glass before returning to the table, and then slammed the glass to the ground under everyone's attention.

The bronze wine glass fell on the stone slab in the hall, and there was a crisp sound, and the tinkling bell was so unpleasant.
