Looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window, Li Mu suddenly felt a little moved.

Spring goes, autumn comes and winter comes, and just like that?

Looking back on this year, I did a lot of things and walked a lot of places. But in the end, I seemed to be on the road all the time. In spring, I went to Dingxiang, but when I came back, I hadn't sat on the hot side. I arrived in Luoyang, and stayed in Luoyang for a few months, and ran to Miaojiang. When Miaojiang came back, I only stayed in Chang'an for one day, and then led my troops to quell the rebellion.

Why are you so busy?

When can I take a break?

The army has been in the process for more than a month. Along the way, soldiers from various Zhechong Prefectures have joined in. Now there are about 15,000 people. This time, the rebellion was suppressed. Li Mu led a large army for the first time, and he had more experiences than he had never had before. He also had a better understanding of the system of the government. He finally revealed a doubt, why the system of the government has so many shortcomings, but since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the reason why the system of the government has adhered to the system of the government.

Save food.

Each government recruits troops and brings food and grass for their own food. For dynasties with more wars, this is definitely more beneficial than disadvantages. He did not bring much food and grass along the way, but as the soldiers from various places were ordered to be recruited, the local government would prepare food and grass for these people, saving Li Mu a lot of things. And from a macro perspective, this is also reasonable. If he took a large number of food and grass and people when he set out from Chang'an, the loss along the way would be very large, but like now, the increase in soldiers along the way and collecting food and grass along the way would reduce a lot.

Of course, this is also because this trip is to suppress rebellion. You can do this. If you are conquering foreign countries, you will not do this.

Qizhou Prefecture.

Qi has a long history. As early as the Zhou emperor, Qi was a very large vassal state. The five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were all number one. Qi was located in a military rush. Since ancient times, it has been a place where military strategists must fight for. The people here also suffered the most from war. From time to time, they had to cause trouble here. Needless to say, they had to make a rebellion in the prosperous times, causing four refugees to escape and then causing greater chaos.

After entering the territory of Qizhou, Li Mu began to prepare for the rebellion. But not long after, he found that the preparations he made were a bit redundant because the other party had no reaction at all. He didn't even meet a detective or scout. Li Mu had to doubt whether the news was false and Li You did not rebel at all, otherwise why wouldn't there be any news?

When he walked to a small village more than 20 miles outside Qizhou City, Li Mu finally saw a trace of rebellion. The scout came to report that the village ahead might have been attacked. When Li Chengqian heard this, he suddenly came down from his horse and asked for his order: "Please send the last general to the expedition, and the last general will be determined--"

"That's a big deal!" Li Mu bet his words back and asked the scout: "How many people have been found?"

"About thirty people are looting."

"Are there more than thirty people..." Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "The army was waiting on the spot. Among the personal guards, fifty elite soldiers were selected, and they took off their armor, and looked at the situation with me in their ordinary clothes."

Li Chengqian stopped doing it and asked, "Brother, where is me? I'll go too."

"Li Yu obeyed the order and stood on time."

"Brother——"

Li Mu stared at his eyes: "Military orders are like mountains. What are the consequences of disobedience? You know better than me, please step back."

Li Chengqian was so angry that he drooped his head and retreated to the side. After a while, fifty guards who had changed into ordinary clothes were ready. Li Mu also found an inconspicuous dress to wear, grabbed another handful of face, smeared it on his face, and looked like a dusty look.

"Walk!"

Li Mu led his men to leave the brigade, and under the leadership of the scout, he arrived at the village he mentioned in less than a quarter of an hour.

At the entrance of the village, the people stood in several rows of men, women and children, and a line of people who were in a good shape were talking. After a while, several Tang soldiers waved their weapons and escorted a group of farmers to the small road towards Qizhou. Some of these farmers had gray hair and beards, looked almost sixty years old, and had childishness. They had teenagers of 14 or 15 years old who had fuzzy hair on their lips. They were tied up with their hands and strung together with ropes, like walking corpses, without any spirit. The crying of the women and children could be heard from a distance, but these people were not moved at all.

Li Mu frowned and felt quite unhappy.

At this time, the sergeant who was escorting the farmer saw Li Mu, quickly turned around and reported to the person who looked like a team. The fat and big-eared team looked at Li Mu, and his eyes immediately lit up. The horses of the prince's personal guards were all rare good horses. Any one was priced at 180 jin, and they might not be able to buy them, so how could they not be coveted?

They were afraid that Li Mu and others would run away, so they shouted. The soldiers behind him immediately took the bow and arrow and aimed at Li Mu and his group. When the team saw that Li Mu and others did not move, he had already taken the lead and had a clear idea. He shouted: "Dropping off the horse, otherwise I will shoot arrows."

Li Mu chuckled and said, "What are you going to do?"

The fat and big-eared team was shouting, "I will recruit your horses now," paused, and then said, "And your people, from now on, you will be the people in our army, and these people are your subordinates? Well, in the future, you will be the commander of our army. Follow my orders, get promoted and make money, and don't obey the orders, kill them without obeying the orders!"

Li Mu was amused and cried, and said, "Fifty people are the team leader, what is it if there are five hundred people?"

"You can be a general even if you recruit 500 people. I only become a general after recruiting 500 people. But even then, you are my subordinate! Who told me to discover you?"

Li Mu was already angry and laughed. He had seen the arrogant ones, but he dared to call himself my son in front of him. He hadn't seen the living ones before, and said, "Do you know who I am, and dare to speak so loudly?"

"I don't care who you are. If you don't obey the orders, you will be the enemy of this general."

Li Mu was interested in teasing him and asked, "General? Where are the generals you are? Who sealed them for you?"

The soldier who reported the message next to him immediately shouted loudly: "You are blind!! So let you know, this is my loyal and brave general of the Great Qi State, the commander of the light chariot, the left vanguard under the tent of the King of Pingxi, and the general of Wang Fugui. Why don't you get off the horse and kneel down quickly?"

Li Mu's eyes were about to pop out, King Pingxi? Wu Sangui?

Li Mu was startled and looked at the talking sergeant in disbelief, pointed at the fat head and big ears and confirmed: "He is under the tent of King Pingxi? Where did the King Pingxi come from? Is your King Pingxi surname Wu?"

Before the soldiers could speak, several fast horses galloped over, bringing countless smoke and dust. The smoke and dust disappeared, and several horses stopped in front of everyone, revealing their true faces.

Several guards guarded a middle-aged general in armor in the middle. This man looked a bit like that. This man was born with a fierce look, and he swept his eyes coldly and shouted: "Wang Fugui, what are you doing?"

When Wang Fugui, who had a fat head and big ears, saw the visitor, he looked like a pug seeing his master. He quickly crossed his hands and bowed: "Fugui met the King of Pingxi, Prince, these passing horses are a few good horses, and Bei Zhi is just about to collect them and offer them to the prince."

"You are the King of Pingxi? Are your surname Wu? Who are you?" Li Mu secretly made a gesture with his hand behind him. All the guards put their hands on the crossbow hidden under the robe. He could just take the situation to change and raise the crossbow and shoot flatly in an instant. There were only twenty or thirty people in front of him, fifty crossbows, and one round of volley shots would be five hundred arrows, which was more than enough.

"I, Yan Hongliang, don't know Chen Yuanyuan. Who are you? What do you want to do with these people?"

"I'm going to join the King of Qi." Li Mu fooled people casually, calm and unconscious, and could not see any strangeness: "I came from the Cui family of Qinghe. When I heard that the King of Qi was up, I led the good guys from the family to join." As he said that, he looked at Yan Hongliang and said, "You are quite ordinary, you are all King of Pingxi, what official can I get?"

Hearing that Li Mu was here to seek refuge, and he was a young master from the Cui family in Qinghe, Yan Hongliang's eyes were much less hostile, and corrected: "There is no more Qi King. Two days ago, my emperor had ascended the throne and became emperor. Now he is the founding emperor of the Great Qi, no longer the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty is eager to seek talents. If you can come to seek refuge, your Majesty will definitely be happy. As for what official you can be awarded, it depends on how capable you are. Recruiting fifty people can be awarded the title of the team, 500 people can be awarded the title of the Lang General, and 2,000 people can be awarded the title of the Minister of War. When employed, there is no need to be too many."

After saying that, he added: "If there is no one, money and food are fine, and it will be fine. It will not cost you any money or money."

When Li Mu heard this, he laughed, grabbed a purse from his arms, opened it and exposed it. The yellow golden light almost blinded everyone's eyes. Li Mu threw the purse to the 'King of Pingxi', and grasped the purse of the playboy's young master to the extreme: "How big is this young master? Isn't it just money? My Cui family is so poor that there is only money left. Let's talk about it, I will buy the Minister of War first. Let's drink this change for you, so let's make friends."

Yan Hongliang, a martial artist, had no strategy. He opened his wallet and glanced at it. It was at least dozens of taels of gold, and he was immediately happy. Who doesn’t like stupid friends who have a lot of money? Since his friend is so rich and wants to buy an official, if he does this matter for him, how can he not express his feelings well?

This is a big deal!

"Brother!" Yan Hongliang put away his purse and his name changed: "You see, it's noon now. I'm working hard all the way, afraid I haven't eaten? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner, let's chat while drinking."

As he said that, he looked at Wang Fugui and said, "Go and find a few women to cook a table of good dishes for our brothers, so that they can have wine and meat."

Li Mu didn't dare to eat his meal, so he stopped Wang Fugui and said to Yan Hongliang: "I can't eat the wine and meat in the countryside. I bring jerky and good wine here. If you don't dislike it, we'll be there--" Li Mu pointed to an old elm tree not far away and said: "You can chat under that tree, but you still have to rush to go after eating."

"Okay! When I arrive in Qizhou, I will invite you again. There is nothing delicious in this broken place."

Li Mu winked at the guard behind him, who faintly formed a semicircle, blocking everyone else.

Li Mu and Yan Hongliang came to the tree and sat on the ground, chewing jerky meat while talking about things in Qizhou.

Two days ago, under the advice of his uncle Yin Hongzhi, Li You announced his ascension to the throne as emperor. The country was named Daqi and the year was named Tianyou. In order to boost morale, Yin Hongzhi was named Shangshu Ling. After the first merit of Long, he seemed to be the position of Changsun Wuji. Yan Jingxin, Yan Hongliang's brothers, plus Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao, were awarded the title of King Pingdong, King Pingxi, King Pingnan, and King Pingbei respectively. Together, they were called "King of Four", which was quite a bit like Northeast F4. Originally, all the generals and schools under their command were awarded the reward. Wang Fugui was originally the brother of a concubine of Yan Hongliang. With this east wind, he also became the loyal and brave general, the commander of the light chariot, and the left vanguard under the tent of King Pingxi.

He was about to rebel, in order to solve the problem of insufficient military, horses, and food. His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi came up with a solution that surpassed the present thousand years. He instructed all the officials and people of Daqi to develop their own downlines, recruit many people, and become officials, donate as much money, and grant them the title. He also asked the Minister of the Great Qi Yin Hongzhi to give a detailed price and pass on the orders. No matter what his background is, as long as he meets the standards, he will definitely be rewarded.

Wang Fugui appeared here because of this decree. He wanted to incorporate all the male men in this village into his own command. In this way, his loyal and brave general, the commander of the light chariot, and the left vanguard under the tent of the King of Pingxi could also move upwards. Although the King of Pingxi had reached the top and could not be promoted, he could join the party. What about Kaifu Yi and the Three Sessions, Shangzhu Kingdom, etc., but only Yin Hongzhi enjoyed it alone. The so-called "King of the Four-Plane" had to work harder for this goal.

When he heard that Li Mu claimed to be from the Cui clan of Qinghe, Pingxi, Yan Hongliang, King Pingxi, was moved. No matter how stupid he was, he knew the reputation of the five surnames and seven sects. If the Cui clan of Qinghe could join the Great Qi, his contribution would be greater than that of the other three "Sifang Kings" and reached the second place of the Dragon.
