Of course, Li Mu knew that his father was going to plan the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate, and if there was no accident, this family business would be passed on to him in the future. Although Li Lingwei is not the only son of Li Mu, he is the only one who follows him.

Therefore, at this time, Li Lingwei can only discuss some things with Li Mu, even Jin Changlong and Luda on his side.

The matter of the deputy governor, Li Lingwei has already told Li Mu. Therefore, this time Li Lingwei called Li Mu over not for this matter.

"Father, I'm coming!" Li Mu soon arrived at Li Lingwei's room and saluted very respectfully.

"Sit!" Li Lingwei motioned for Li Muxian to sit down.

"Father, are things going well today?" After Li Mu sat down, he saw that his father was a little tired, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Those two guys finally agreed! However, we must move quickly next. First of all, it is necessary to bring the Pingxi Army and the Zhengxi Army to full strength as soon as possible. On the side of the Western Army, I asked Ruda to do it. On the side of the Pingxi Army, you need to go out in person. Li Lingwei did not beat around the bush, and directly explained the task to Li Mu.

"Yes, the child will leave tomorrow. However, the child first wanted to go to Huangsha City and negotiate a business with someone. If this business can be negotiated, our strength can be improved a lot. The person Li Mu wanted to find was naturally Ma Shuo, and what he was thinking about was naturally Ma Shuo's iron weapon. Before, Li Mu didn't tell Li Lingwei about this matter, on the one hand, it was the agreement with Ma Shuo at that time, and on the other hand, he was also a little selfish, and he didn't want others to know about the iron weapon.

However, now the situation has changed, whether it is the Pingxi Army or the Zhengxi Army, it will be regarded as his Li family's private army in the future, and his own things will naturally have to be managed well.

"Oh! Is there such a character over there in Huangsha City? Of course Li Lingwei didn't know about Ma Shuo's existence, although Bai Qi gave Ma Shuo a guard general, Ma Shuo was still not qualified to enter Li Lingwei's eyes.

"This man is very young, his name is Ma Shuo. He has a brother named Mark, and now he is a general under the child, Ma Shuo, the child used to deal with him, and in order to win over this person, he also gave him a supernumerary title of Captain Bian Rong and the actual status of a captain. Later, he was actually recruited by General Bai Qi to aid the Western Army, and he was also awarded General Weiwei. However, recently, I seem to have heard that this person has been ordered to return to Huangsha City, so the child still wants to apply to his father if he can give this person the identity of the battalion commander and draw him into our camp? ”

Li Mu not only briefly told Li Lingwei about Ma Shuo's situation, but also said his idea of preparing to win over Ma Shuo.

"Font battalion commander? It's kind of interesting, why don't you tell the Father about this person in detail. Hearing Li Mu say this, Li Lingwei also became interested in Ma Shuo, a character who can be favored by Bai Qi, it is really nothing to give a name to the battalion commander, the key party is still the general of the guard in the Praetorian Guard sequence. Therefore, whether the owner of the font camp will be able to take down the other party is really a lot to say. Therefore, Li Lingwei did not agree to Li Mu immediately, he wanted to know more about Ma Shuo before making a decision.

Hearing that his father asked him to introduce Ma Shuo in detail, Li Mu organized his language a little, and told him about the process of getting acquainted with Ma Shuo and his subsequent interactions, including the relevant information he had recently learned through various channels.

Of course, because Li Mu doesn't know much about the recent situation, he is simpler than some of the previous situations. However, there is still a very important piece of information, that is, Ma Shuo's younger brother Mark actually successfully defended Huangsha City as a general in Huangsha City, and recruited 30,000 or 40,000 horses.

Such an achievement is unique among all the expatriate generals. According to Li Mu, Mark's ability to achieve such results is absolutely inseparable from Ma Shuo's support. Moreover, Ma Shuo still has more than 8,000 cavalry in his own hands, which is also an incredible force.

Of course, this data is not the most up-to-date. However, Rao is like this, which is enough to make Li Lingwei very interested. You must know that among the 300,000 people in the Zhenbarian Army mentioned before, it does not include the manpower recruited by these foreign generals.

Because Li Lingwei didn't take the manpower recruited by these expatriate generals too seriously before, on the one hand, because according to the information he got, it seems that many of the generals have not achieved anything, and some of them have been vacated by the local city lords. In addition, even some of the recruited people and horses do not have too strong combat effectiveness. Those men and horses are used as patrol forces in peacetime, and it is obviously meaningless to use them on the battlefield.

However, if it is really as his son said, the more than 30,000 people in the hands of this guy named Ma Shuo or Mark are not ordinary cannon fodder, but a regular army with real combat effectiveness.

Such a person, in this situation, must be firmly drawn to his side.

"Mu'er, if it's really as you said, then this Ma family brother must bring them to his side. In this way, I am afraid that one battalion owner will not be enough. In this way, that Mark was directly promoted to the commander of the battalion, and in the name of Huangsha City, he used his existing men to form the Huangsha Battalion of the Pingxi Army. As for that Ma Shuo, he directly gave him a history of the march of the Pingxi Army, allowing him to form a direct battalion by himself, with no upper limit, and he was responsible for the grain and grass baggage. Li Lingwei directly gave his conditions, obviously, Li Lingwei's conditions were heavier than those offered by Li Mu.

Jiang is old and spicy, and from Li Mu's introduction, Li Lingwei is keenly aware of Ma Shuo's potential value, so he decided to draw this young man by his side at any cost.

It's just that he doesn't have anything else to impress the other party now, so the only thing he can give is identity. As for whether Ma Shuo will grow beyond his control in the future, Li Lingwei has no heart to think about it for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is to do everything possible to enhance his strength and occupy the absolute right to speak in the Western Xinjiang Protectorate.

The chips given by Li Lingwei also startled Li Mu, he didn't expect that his father would actually open such a chip in order to win over the Ma family brothers, which had far exceeded his expectations.

However, when he saw Ma Shuo, especially when he saw Ma Shuo's current strength, he finally understood what ginger was or old and spicy.
