In late autumn, the north wind howls and everything is silent.

The morning was exceptionally cold, and the frost covered the earth.

The branches and yellow leaves are flying, and the flowers are falling and scattered.

Zhangye County Shoufu.

"Bang Bang! The lord, Lord Li Xuan is here. ”

Outside the door of the master bedroom in the backyard, Li Zhi knocked lightly on the door, and then said softly.

"Wenchang, wake up, Li Zhi called you!"

On the couch, Dian Wufang poked his head out of the warm quilt, and before he opened his sleepy eyes, he felt a biting chill, and then retracted into the quilt. However, she heard Li Zhi's voice outside the door, gently pushed Li Li, who was hugging her waist and sleeping soundly in her chest, and asked him to get up quickly.

Unexpectedly, Li Li's body moved slightly, and then he held the pink red beans in his mouth, still unable to wake up.

"Oh, get up quickly, Li Xuan rushed from Guzang City to Zhangye County Shoufu overnight, you haven't gotten up to meet him!"

Dian Flawless chest was attacked, and his body suddenly trembled, and he was infinitely shy, but he wouldn't let people see it.

Under the slightly hard push of Dian Wufang, Li Li finally turned over, stretched his head out of the quilt, and then quickly hid in the quilt just like Dian Wufang.

"Hey, it's cold! Is it snowing? ”

The moment he hid in the quilt, Li Li hugged Dian Wufang's smooth, soft and warm body tightly, and suddenly felt so comfortable that he didn't want to get up at all.

Dian Wufang felt Li Li's hands caressing his buttocks again, and couldn't help but twist his naked body, gritted his teeth and moaned slightly, almost screaming.

"Wenchang. Don't be like this, should you be good at night? Li Xuan is here. He came overnight in the cold and was waiting for you in the lobby! If you don't see him. Doesn't it chill him? ”

Li Li stopped hearing the movement of his hand, kissed Dian Flawless cheek, and said softly, "You're right. Li Xuan came quickly, I only sent someone to invite him to Zhangye three days ago, but I didn't expect him to arrive early this morning. But?????? Flawless, it's snowing outside, it's so cold, I want to sleep a little longer. Why don't you get up with me? ”

"You?????? You're just a kid who hasn't grown up. You want me to accompany you when you get up, really! Okay, I'll wake you up. But I'll have to correct you, it's not snow yet, it should be frosting outside. Dian Wuflaw said helplessly.

Just as Dian Wufang was about to get up, Li Li grabbed her and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm joking with you, you can sleep again." It's time for your man to get up. It's so cold outside, how can you be comfortable in the bed, you sleep for a while, wait until the sun hits your butt and get up again! Syllable! ”

Gently patted Dian Flawless buttocks. Li Li quickly got up and dressed.

A moment later, fully dressed, he kissed Dian Flawless on the forehead. Walk quickly out of the room.

??????????????????

Inside the county hall.

Li Xuan wore a thick animal skin and took a sip of the hot tea made by the servants of the county government. While the heat in his hand was still there, he gently rubbed his frozen cheeks. It's finally more comfortable.

"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong, it's frozen! Yesterday there was no frost, but today it is so cold! Warm up with a few sips of hot tea, and we'll talk about things later. ”

Li Li walked up to Li Xuan with a smile, pressed his shoulder as he wanted to get up and salute, handed him the steaming hot tea, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, my subordinates are from Xiliang, and they have long been accustomed to wind and frost, thank you for your concern. Now it is late autumn, and the frost has just begun to fall, more than ten days later than in previous years, but it is just to help the lord recover the land of the three counties of Zhangye, the lord is really a blessed person! Hehehe! Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Li smiled and said, "Borrow your auspicious words, I hope God will always stand on my Li Li's side and help me succeed!" ”

While speaking, Li Li sat on top of Li Xuan and continued: "I asked you to come to Zhangye County this time, I guess you have already guessed what is going on. Now that Zhangye County, Zhangye and Juyan have just been recovered, government affairs have been abandoned for a long time, and you are urgently needed to sort out these affairs. After the government affairs of the three counties are on the right track, you have to return to Guzang City, I can't do without you! ”

After Li Xuan heard this, he smiled and said, "Thanks to the trust of the lord, these government affairs are subordinate matters, and they should be so. I wonder what the lord thinks of the subject state of Zhangye and the subject state of Juyan? ”

"Oh? Mo Fei Yuanzhong already had a case in his heart, and it didn't hurt to say it directly. Li Li said with a slight shock.

Li Xuan restrained his smile and said solemnly: "My subordinates do have some thoughts about the two subject countries in the north. The subject state of Zhangye and the subject state of Juyan were originally the jurisdiction of Zhangye County, but because of the perennial harassment of foreign races, they were divided separately and became subject countries of foreign migration.

Now the lord has recovered the three counties of Zhangye, and all the alien people living here have been relocated to the hinterland of Wuwei County, so that there will be no more foreign intrusion 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 subject countries back under the rule of Zhangye County, and build large horse farms in the two places to raise high-quality war horses for our army. What is the Lord's will? ”

Li Li was shocked when he heard this, thought for a moment, and muttered: "Yuan Zhong's words are feasible. The subject state of Juyan was changed to three counties, which were temporarily used as a place of exile for prisoners, and there was no horse farm, but livestock, mules, horses, and horses could be kept in captivity. Zhangye's vassal state was changed to a county, the Xiutu Wang City was renamed Wushuang City, a horse farm was set up, all the war horses captured by our army were raised here, and 2,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry were requisitioned to garrison this city. What does Yuan Zhong think? ”

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan responded: "This is very good! Juyan's vassal state is adjacent to Jiuquan County, and the border is currently unstable, and there is a possibility of war at any time, so it is very appropriate to temporarily serve as a place of exile for prisoners.

Zhangye vassal country is not, directly connected with Zhangye County, and the south is connected with the Hugh slaughter horse farm, which can communicate with each other, and select excellent war horses for breeding, which is extremely convenient. ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Since Yuan Zhong thinks it is feasible, then let's implement it accordingly." In addition, Yuan Zhong thinks that who is more suitable for the generals who stay in Zhangye? ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "There are many generals in our army who can fight well. 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. The generals who stayed in Zhangye County were not only good at fighting and having both civil and military skills. It also needs to be calm and measured, have a certain degree of government affairs ability, and more importantly, be absolutely loyal to the lord.

Therefore, there are several candidates in the hearts of the subordinates, and the generals such as Bocai, Fan Yong, Li Dian, Li Zheng, Teng Xiao, Pang De and Tatar are very good, and the first choice is to be led by Bocai. What is the Lord's will? ”

Li Li smiled slightly and said: "These people are all relatively good generals in our army at the moment, but Zhangye County is in a corner after all, and our strategic direction in the future is in the land of Chang'an Sanfu and the Central Plains." Therefore. The candidate for Zhangye's guard must have the ability to take charge of himself, but he can't send too many generals to assist him, so he can only rely on his own ability and the soldiers under his account to stabilize the situation in Zhangye County and deal with the invasion and nuisance of the surrounding foreign races.

Since then, who does Yuan Zhong think is more suitable to serve as Zhangye's guard? ”

"Bo Cai, Fan Yong, Teng Xiao and Pang De, if you choose one of them, you can stick to Zhangye County and be unharmed. If the lord wants Zhang Ye to defend the generals to capture Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, Bo Cai and Teng Xiao can choose one of them. Li Xuan replied neatly.

Li Li said with appreciation: "Very good, Yuan Zhong's ability to recognize people is extraordinary, and I have also heard of it. When I saw it today, I really saw someone! The generals of our army are actually very good, but there are not many generals who can take charge on their own.

They were a group of young people, the oldest of whom was no more than twenty-six or seventeen years old. Most of them are hot-blooded men in their twenties, with good martial arts and good fighting. But their minds are unstable. The experience is still shallow, and the courage is more than enough and the composure is insufficient. It takes a lot of experience to be able to take charge on your own.

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

"Never! Lord. Huan Fei is unruly, only the lord can control him at the moment, and other than that, no one's words are of any use to him. If he is allowed to be stationed in Zhangye County, it will take a long time, and his subordinates will worry about the troubles and accidents. Please think twice! Li Xuan said urgently.

"Hehehe!" Li Li Daxiao said: "What Yuan Zhong said is extremely true. Huan Fei, this guy planted a big heel in the hands of Flawless this time, it is a good time to sharpen his temperament, and it is not appropriate to let him go. In this way, Teng Xiao was appointed as the guard general of Zhangye County, Ma Wan was appointed as the deputy general, and the Wuwei battalion was requisitioned and stationed in Zhangye. In addition, 2,000 light cavalry were selected from the Hugh Tu captives to be called by Teng Xiao, and 3,000 foot soldiers were selected from Zhangye County to be stationed in various counties. Since then, Teng Xiao has 7,000 light cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, a full 10,000 army, which should be enough.

Yin Yu, the former deputy commander of the Wuwei Battalion, was transferred to the deputy commander of the Longxiang Battalion, and appointed Dian Wuflaw as the lord of Wushuang City. ”

"Ahh The lord wants his wife to serve as the lord of Wushuang City, this is the homeland of the Hutu tribe, and his subordinates are worried??????。 Li Xuan said in surprise.

It's just that there are some words that Li Xuan can't say anymore, so as not to lose his duty as a subordinate.

Li Li said with a smile: "Yuan Zhong is too worried. Although Flawless is called the Peerless City Lord, she is still the deputy commander of the Golden Guard, and she stays by my side. Yuan Zhong understands? ”

Li Xuan's heart was relieved when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "My subordinates understand." Madame has a reputation as a peerless god of war in Zhangye County, which is quite beneficial to the people in Wushuang City. Li Dai Tao stiff, the lord is wise! ”

"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong, your flatterer's skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, which makes people feel comfortable. But between you and me, you don't need to be so polite, just say something straightforward. That's all for business, I've already asked people to prepare the wings, Yuan Zhong go and rest, don't rush to deal with government affairs. I will stay here for a few more days, and after the battalions have completely cleared the remnants of the Liukou, I will return to Guzang City. Li Li said with a smile.

"Thank you for your lordship's concern, and your subordinates will leave first." Li Xuan stood up and saluted.

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

Peach Blossom Village is a talented person, and now Li Xuan and the Teng brothers are becoming more and more important in Li Li's heart, which makes him have to think about it.

The reason why Li Li repeatedly asked Li Xuan about the candidate for the Zhangye County guard just now was not only a trust, but also a temptation, and it was also an examination of Li Xuan's talent. (To be continued)(To be continued......
