Xiaoqi

Wearing a thick animal skin cloak, Li Xuan took a sip of hot tea made by the servants of the county government.While the heat in his hands was still there, he gently rubbed his frozen cheeks.Finally comfortable.

"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong, it's freezing! This day is changing as it is said. There was no frost yesterday, but today it is so cold! Drink more hot tea to warm up your body. We will talk about things later."

Li Li walked up to Li Xuan with a smile, held his shoulder that was about to get up and salute, handed the steaming hot tea to his hand, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm from Xiliang, I'm used to the wind and frost, thank you for your concern, my lord. It's late autumn, and the frost has just fallen. It's more than ten days later than in previous years, but it just happened to help my lord recover the three counties of Zhangye. My lord is truly blessed by God! Hehehe!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Li chuckled and said, "With your kind words, I hope God will always stand by Li Li's side and help me achieve success!"

While speaking, Li Li sat at the head of Li Xuan, and continued: "This time you have been asked to come to Zhangye County, you must have guessed why. Now Zhangye County, Zhangye vassal state and Juyan vassal state have just been recovered, and the government affairs have been abandoned. For a long time, you are urgently needed to straighten out these affairs. After the government affairs of the three counties are on the right track, you have to return to Guzang City, and I cannot do without you!"

After Li Xuan heard the words, he smiled and said: "Thanks to the trust of the lord, these government affairs are the affairs of the subordinates, as it should be. I wonder what the lord thinks about the Zhangye and Juyan vassals?"

"Oh? Could it be that Yuan Zhong already has a secret in his heart, so it's okay to speak up." Li Li said in a little surprise.

Li Xuan restrained his smile and said seriously: "I do have some thoughts about the two vassal states in the north. The Zhangye vassal state and the Juyan vassal state were originally under the jurisdiction of Zhangye County, but they were divided separately because of the perennial harassment of foreign races and became foreign migrants. country of residence.

Now the lord has recovered the three counties of Zhangye, and moved all the alien people living here to the hinterland of Wuwei County for resettlement. In this way, there will be no alien invasion in Zhangye County in recent years, and the people can finally live a stable life.

In view of this, the subordinates wanted to bring the two vassal states back under the rule of Zhangye County, and build large horse farms in the two places to raise excellent war horses for our army.What does the lord think? "

Li Li was shocked when he heard the words, thought for a moment, and pondered: "Yuan Zhong's words are feasible. Juyan belongs to the country and changed to three counties. It is temporarily used as a place for prisoners to exile. There is no horse farm, but livestock, mules and horses can be kept in captivity. Zhangye belongs to the country. For a county, the Xiutu King City was renamed Wushuang City, a horse farm was set up, all the horses captured by our army were raised here, and [-] infantry and [-] cavalry were recruited to garrison the city. What does Yuan Zhong think?"

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan responded, "That's very good! Juyan's vassal state is adjacent to Jiuquan County, and the border is currently uneasy, and there may be war at any time. It is very appropriate to temporarily use it as a place to exile prisoners.

This is not the case for the state of Zhangye, which is directly connected to Zhangye County, and connected to the Xiutu Horse Farm to the south. It is extremely convenient to exchange what is needed, and to select high-quality war horses for breeding. "

Li Li said with a smile: "Since Yuan Zhong thinks it is feasible, let's implement it accordingly. Besides, Yuan Zhong thinks who is the most suitable general to stay in Zhangye?"

Li Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and pondered: "There are quite a few generals in our army who are good at fighting. The commanders and deputy commanders of the seven cavalry battalions are all good generals, and there are also several generals in the infantry battalion who are both civil and military. But stay in Zhangye The generals of the county, in addition to being able to fight well and have both civil and military skills, also need to be calm, have a certain ability in government affairs, and more importantly, be absolutely loyal to the lord.

Therefore, the subordinates have several candidates in their minds. Generals such as Bo Cai, Fan Yong, Li Dian, Li Zheng, Teng Xiao, Pang De, and Talu are all good, and Bo Cai is the first choice.What does the lord think? "

Li Li smiled slightly and said: "These people are all relatively good generals in our army at the moment, but Zhangye County is located in a corner after all. In the future, our strategic direction will be in the three auxiliary areas of Chang'an and the Central Plains. Therefore, Zhangye Guard General The candidate must have the ability to be independent, but he cannot send too many generals to assist him. He can only rely on his own ability and the soldiers under his tent to stabilize the situation in Zhangye County and deal with the invasion and nuisance of surrounding aliens.

So, who does Yuan Zhong think is more suitable to serve as Zhangye's defender? "

"Bo Cai, Fan Yong, Teng Xiao, and Pound, you can choose one of them to defend Zhangye County. If the Lord wants Zhangye to attack Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County in the future, Bo Cai and Teng Xiao will be able to defend Zhangye County." Choose one." Li Xuan replied bluntly.

Li Li said appreciatively: "Very well, I have heard of Yuan Zhong's extraordinary ability to know people. I saw it today, and I really have seen people! Our generals are actually very good, but there are not many generals who can stand on their own at present.

They are all a group of young people, and the oldest is only 26 and seven years old.Most of them are hot-blooded men around 20 years old, good at martial arts, brave and good at fighting.But they are unstable.The experience is still inexperienced, more than brave but not calm enough.It takes some practice to be able to stand alone.

In fact, Huan Fei is very suitable.What does Yuan Zhong think? "

"Absolutely not! My lord. Huan Fei is rebellious. Right now, only the lord can control him. Other than that, no one's words will be of any use to him. If he is allowed to stay in Zhangye County for a long time, his subordinates are worried that he will be in vain. Something has changed. My lord, please think again!" Li Xuan said anxiously.

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Zhong's words are absolutely true. Huan Fei has suffered a big fall in Wuxia's hands this time. Appoint Teng Xiao as the general of Zhangye County, and Ma Wan as the deputy general. County. Since then, Teng Xiao has [-] Qingqi and [-] infantry under his command, which should be enough for an entire [-] army.

Yin Ji, the former deputy commander of the Wuwei camp, was transferred to the deputy commander of the Longxiang camp, and Dian Wuxia was appointed as the lord of Wushuang City. "

"Ah! My lord wants my wife to be the lord of the Wushuang city. This is the hometown of the Xiutu tribe, and my subordinates are worried." Li Xuan said in surprise.

It's just that there are some things that Li Xuan is inconvenient to say, so as not to lose his duty as a minister.

Li Li said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong is too worried. Although Wu Xia is called the Lord of Wushuang City, she is still the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei and stays with me. Can Yuan Zhong understand?"

Li Xuan was relieved when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I understand. Madam has a great reputation as the God of War in Zhangye County, which is quite beneficial to the people in Wushuang City. Li Daitao is stiff, and the lord is wise!"

"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong, your ability to flatter people is getting better and better, which makes people feel comfortable. But between you and me, there is no need to be so polite, just speak directly. That's the business, I've already made people The wing room is ready, Yuan Zhong, let's go to rest, don't rush to deal with government affairs. I still have to stay here for a few days, and return to Guzang City after the battalions have completely wiped out the remnants of the bandits." Li Li said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern, and I will take my leave first." Li Xuan got up and saluted.

Watching Li Xuan leave, Li Li pondered for a long time in the lobby.

There are talents in Peach Blossom Village, Li Xuan and the Teng brothers are getting more and more important in Li Li's heart, which makes him have to think carefully.

Just now, the reason why Li Li repeatedly asked Li Xuan about the candidate for Zhangye County Guard was not only trust, but also a test, and it was also a test of Li Xuan's talent.

Chapter 161 The backyard caught fire, and the three women begged Li Li

In mid-October of the second year of Chuping, Li Li led the Western Expeditionary Army and returned to Guzang City in triumph.

In the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, after the banquet, all the generals dispersed.

At the banquet just now, Dian Wuxia sat beside Li Li in a pretty and lively manner.

At this time the banquet was over, she looked at Li Li with great interest, waiting for Li Li to take her back to the backyard to rest.

"What are you looking at, Wuxia? If you are tired, you can go back to the backyard to rest first. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I will rest in the wing room tonight."

While speaking, Li Li's bushy eyebrows trembled slightly, and his right eyelid twitched twice, appearing restless.

Among the crowd welcoming the triumphant army at the gate of the city today, the figures of Cai Yan, Chen Yu and Li Xin were not seen. This is very abnormal and too weird.

Li Li felt that the wind and rain were about to come and the building was full of wind, his eyelids twitched, and his heart felt weak.

In his previous life, he was an impeccably good man. He was married only once and never had an affair.

Now that he is alive again, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

Well, it's normal!

But this is only a normal thing in theory. In fact, Li Li was the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair, and he felt uneasy, not knowing what would happen if he brought Dian Wuxia into the backyard.

Among thousands of troops, he was fearless and did not frown, but now he was quite melancholy and hesitant to bring a woman home.

Li Li was not afraid of his own women playing petty temper, nor was he afraid of them being cold-faced and unhappy, but he was afraid that they would unite to force a smile and cry secretly.

When dealing with a man, this woman doesn't necessarily have to cry, make trouble, and hang herself.Silent resentment and forced laughter can make men feel more guilty.Don't dare to look at him.

After hearing Li Li's faltering words, Dian Wuxia asked in surprise: "Wenchang, if you don't go back to the backyard to rest, what should I do? How about I live in the wing room with you?"

"Uh! No, you have to live in the backyard, otherwise you won't be ridiculed!" Li Li said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

When Li Li was talking, he saw Xiao Jing, the maid beside Cai Yan, walked into the lobby in small steps, and then saluted Dian Wuxia generously, and said in a crisp voice: "Madam, the three young ladies asked the servants to come and invite you to go back to the backyard to rest. Room It's already packed for you."

When Dian Wuxia saw Xiao Jing in the maid's attire, her eyes lit up. This maid is so beautiful.

However, although Xiaojing was wearing the maid's clothes, she had an excellent temperament and a very good figure.She is more than seven feet tall, has curved willow-leaf eyebrows, beautiful eyelashes, and a pair of big watery eyes that seem to be able to talk, which is extremely moving; her nose is exquisite.Small cherry mouth, face shaped like a silver basin, skin as white as jade, and a light figure.When you walk around, you can walk in small steps, giving people a pleasing feeling.

Duan is a dignified, beautiful, and graceful pretty lady.

"What's your name? How long have you been in the county?" Dian Wuxia stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Jing, and asked with a smile.

Xiao Jing was slightly taken aback when she heard this.Responding crisply: "Ma'am, the maidservant is called Zou Jing. Madam can just call Nu Xiaojing. The maidservant was chosen by Miss Cai Yan to stay in the inner courtyard when the prefect regained Guzang City. Now there are five of them. It's been a month."

"Oh, Sister Wen Ji has such a good eye, you look so good-looking! Jing'er, don't call yourself a slave in the future, and I will recognize you as my younger sister, okay?" Dian Wuxia liked Zou Jing very much, and said with a smile when she met her at first sight.
