As soon as Wu Xiao returned to the Changzhou camp, he saw that there was a lot of noise inside, and more than 100 civilian officials gathered in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army guards blocked them all from the tent.

When everyone saw Wu Xiao coming, they all ran over to be handsome, handsome and short, and Wu Xiao only figured out for a long time that they were all here to ask for officials according to their ranks, and asked to be in charge of the state and county.

Wu Xiao looked at so many people and felt a sense of powerlessness, so he had to let them sort them by level, and only those above the fifth rank were allowed to enter the big tent.

There was something more important to do than this, Wu Xiao didn't pay attention to these people first, but called them to join the army and issued two orders.

The first is to write a letter of resignation to Sun Deren, the guard general of Yanmen Pass, asking him not to let a single soldier enter Mobei.

The second is to write a detailed battle report to the emperor and explain the situation in Mobei.

As soon as Wu Xiao finished speaking, a man in his forties, with a white face and a long beard and a slightly chubby face, snorted coldly, glanced at Wu Xiao and turned his face away.

Wu Xiao only pretended not to know, and ordered a member of the army to prepare the paperwork first.

"Let's talk about them one by one, what job do you want?" Wu Xiao asked the group of people under the tent

A cadre of people immediately rushed to shout, and even quarreled because of their positions, Wu Xiao looked at these people and felt that his scalp was numb.

Only the person who snorted coldly just now didn't say a word, and even stood behind the crowd.

"Invite them out first" Wu Xiao waved his hand, and the soldiers next to him immediately stood up and drove people away.

"This person stays," Wu Xiao pointed to

After a while, the big tent finally quieted, and Wu Xiao drank all the tea in one gulp, and then asked, "Who are you, why did you speak coldly just now?"

"I am Li Mao, the prefect of Fengzhou, and I have come to ask the marshal for Fengzhou," which person said justifiably

"It turned out to be you, you are very famous, before the Turks came, you opened the city gates, let the soldiers and civilians in the city scatter and fled, and you used the cart of the state capital to escape to the Guannei with your family, how can you still have the face to come back?" said a soldier sitting at the head of the right laughed.

"Fengzhou City obviously can't hold it, and if you don't run, aren't you waiting to die? If I hadn't let the soldiers and civilians in the city go, wouldn't I have been slaughtered by the Turks?" Li Mao said, his face was not red and his heart was not beating

"You are really strong and reasonable, derelict in your duties, and the camp has escaped, so that you seem to be said to be a great achievement" Joining the army robbed him in vain

"How to derelict my duty, when I ruled, Fengzhou Road was not forgotten, the night was not closed, the army and the people were concentric, the upper and lower were one, after I left, Fengzhou was left to an empty city for the Turks, and the people had few dead and wounded, this is not a great achievement, is it a great mistake?" Li Mao spoke very quickly, and he was speechless when he joined the army.

He saw that he couldn't talk about Li Mao, so he turned to Wu Xiao and said: "Don't be deceived by this person, Li Mao thinks he is a royal clansman, accepts bribes in Fengzhou, sells / officials to knights, collides with military Cao, and has no king's law."

Wu Xiao listened for a while and said, "Which lineage of Li family is he?"

Joining the army replied: "The blood is thin, and the side branch of my brother when I was respecting the sect in my early years is no longer available in his generation."

"How can it not be examined, there is a genealogy as proof," Li Mao argued

Wu Xiao waved his hand and said to several gendarmes and the soldiers: "You go out first", which joined the army for a while, so he had to go out of the big tent with a few gendarmes.

There is only Wu Xiao in the big tent, which Li Mao is Yan Nu with, Wu Xiao looked at him, and then said, "Why did you sneer just now?"

"I laugh at the general, who only knows military affairs, but doesn't know political affairs" As soon as Li Mao finished speaking, Yan Nu stepped forward and drew a knife in his hand to kill him, but Li Mao said fearlessly, Wu Xiao hurriedly stopped Yan Nu.

"Let's hear it," Wu Xiao was not angry.

"The general didn't let the soldiers enter Mobei, but he didn't want other envoys, and he didn't move, but he came to share the credit," Li Mao said

Wu Xiao nodded.

Li Mao said again: "General, just imagine, if the other four-way festival envoys soldiers and horses to Yanmen Pass, but they are not allowed to enter, how do you let them deal with themselves, how can the emperor deal with themselves, if there is a war in the future, can the emperor still transfer troops, so how does the emperor see you?"

Wu Xiao pondered for a moment and did not speak.

Li Mao then asked: "The general first came to Mobei, and took over the army under various opportunities for half a year, how should he deal with himself in the future, and what is the general's ambition?"

"What do you see?" Wu Xiao asked rhetorically

"I'm afraid Mobei is already in the general's bag," Li Mao took a sip of tea

Wu Xiao didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Li Mao looked at Wu Xiao's face and said lightly: "It's just that Mobei is probably not so easy to take."

Wu Xiao was silent for a long time and said, "Please tell me about it, sir", and there was a little more respect in his tone

"The gateway of Mobei and the court, the Mobei Army is the heavy weapon of the town, the emperor's sharp blade, does the general think the emperor will rest assured of the general?"

"Don't forget, Zheng Shuai's predecessor is the husband of Mrs. Anguo and the brother-in-law of the emperor, while the main room of Zheng Gu Dashuai is the cousin of Mrs. Anguo," Li Mao continued.

Wu Xiao nodded, and he changed his words: "Mr. is really here for the position of the prefect of Fengzhou today?"

Li Mao laughed and said: "It depends on what the general does later, the fate of the officials in Mobei and other Mobei has long been connected with the general."

"What do you think I should do after this battle?" Wu Xiao asked

"I mean that the general not only can't block the Yanmen Pass, but also welcomes the soldiers and horses of the four roads into the pass with great fanfare, and entertains the students, first, second, the court on the court, and the performance of the four-way festival to reinforce the soldiers and horses, and at the same time the performance of Zheng Shuai and the subordinate generals' combat exploits, without mentioning the general himself" Li Mao paused and said

"Clearly, stay in Mobei for the time being to consolidate the strategy of moving north and the current results, restore people's livelihood, and return to Chang'an after half a year to return the Mobei military talisman and the marshal's seal"

Wu Xiao thought for a while and said, "And then?"

Li Mao said with a smile: "A month later, the Quartet will make each other play together, and recommend the general as the commander of Mobei, and I will wait for the generals and civil officials of Mobei to write a letter, and I am willing to ask the court to leave the general to succeed Zheng Gu, so that the matter will be completed."

Wu Xiao also smiled, got up and said, "Mr. is a hundred times better than me, students should follow what Mr. said"

Li Mao also stood up and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the general Huwei has shaken Mobei, and the succession to the position of marshal is expected by everyone."

"Sir, don't go to Fengzhou to be the prefect, stay in Changzhou and teach me how to deal with Mobei political affairs" Wu Xiao left him

"Li Mao is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses", the two looked at each other and smiled.

After the war, the Mobei military and civilians celebrated for three days, and the soldiers and horses of the four festivals finally arrived in Mobei and participated in the celebration banquet of the Mobei army.

After staying for more than ten days, the soldiers and horses of the four routes returned the same way, and some Turkic prisoners were taken back to the customs to report their merits, and the leading generals were given a box of gold and silver as hardship expenses.

Of course, the Mobei army sent a fraction of the head, and the emperor's reward was the big one.

And Ximing and his people have gradually entered the field of vision of these feudal officials and Fangfan Town.

After the emperor received Wu Xiao's report, Long Yan Dayue praised this Ximing in the Xuanzheng Palace, he was brave and strategic, and he was a handsome talent, so he didn't care much about the four festivals to make a bargain.

On the contrary, he also rewarded him, and called the four festival envoys a model for Fanzhen, and focused on preaching and rewarding, but in fact, this was said to other festival envoys.

In this way, there was a harmonious atmosphere in the court, and all parties were happy.

When the emperor chatted privately with Mrs. Anguo, he also said that this Ximing was very sensible, which made him feel more at ease, and Mrs. Anguo had to say yes, but this woman was not as happy as the emperor, and she reminded the emperor to consider the selection of the commander of Mobei.

"But for the sake of today's plan, how can there be any other candidate," the emperor sighed

"This Xiaoximing is by no means a good person, and he is so young, he must be guarded against," Mrs. An Guo said as she drank tea

"Yes, the recommended excerpts of the envoys of the Quartet Festival, as well as the joint excerpts of officials of all sizes in Mobei, have arrived one after another, and they are all asking this Ximing to stay as the commander of Mobei, how is it good for my sister to see this?" asked the emperor

"Didn't he say that he would come back in half a year to report on his work, and return the tiger talisman and the seal letter, so he was ordered to temporarily take the position of Marshal of Mobei, and wait for him to come back after half a year," Mrs. An Guo said

"I'm afraid that when he arrives, it doesn't matter if he hands over the seal letter or not," the emperor sighed

Mrs. An Guo didn't say anything more, and instead said, "I heard from the chamberlain that you have recently recruited another batch of veterans to take red pills every day?"

The emperor coughed twice and said: "This time they are all looking for masters, and they are much stronger than the previous batch."

"Taking less red pills is less, health preservation is the first priority, and sexual intercourse should also be controlled" Mrs. An Guo's tone was slightly harder.

"Lian knows, my sister is also well-groomed, I'll go first" The emperor left under the pretext of leaving, leaving only Mrs. Anguo to look at the increasingly rickety current saint and sighed.

ps: Tomorrow is on the road all day, so, which ...... , I try to
