I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24
"Oh, is that so?" In fact, Huangfu Jie was skeptical. According to his understanding, this person was timid and fearful, and he didn't have any opinions.And it's the age of retirement, so it's better to have more things than less things.

Give Li Shimin the heavy responsibility of guarding the city. When the city breaks down and the higher authorities hold him accountable, he can also excuse his illness and take less responsibility.

But Huangfu Festival didn't point it out. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "It's the prime minister's fault when a sage is out. The official will ask for credit for you, promote Xiaolian, and recommend you to be the magistrate of Mayi. As for the magistrate of Li County, since he has reached the age of becoming an official, he should go home early and enjoy the rest of his life."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. I can't repay you as an official. I will do my best and die." Li Shimin also hurriedly thanked him, and he was very happy in his heart. After all, his plan to stand firm in Mayi was about to come true.

Huangfu Jie looked at Lu Bu. In fact, he was also very conflicted in his heart. It is said that such a rare and fierce general must be a peerless general under his command, but this person is a double-edged sword, rebellious and difficult to control. Such a person is really an unstable factor in the army, and he is not sure to make good use of him.

In fact, in Huangfujie's heart, he is a person without ambitions. Since he has no ambitions, it is definitely not a good thing for him to keep such a unparalleled fierce general by his side, and I am afraid it is still a disaster.

In the end, Huangfu Jie still made up his mind, and said regretfully: "As for this young general Lu Bu, he also contributed a lot to this battle. Since you are currently living in Mayi temporarily to avoid the Hu people, it is better to appoint you as Mayi County Captain. "

Li Shimin and Lu Bu were very surprised, they did not expect such an arrangement for Huangfu Festival.Li Shimin thought about it for a while and thought it was possible that Huangfu Jie didn't really want to use Lu Bu, and he didn't know how to arrange it. It happened that Mayi had a county captain vacant, so he stuffed it in.

Lu Bu was naturally a little disappointed, he didn't expect that he had made such a great contribution, and he considered himself a strong martial artist, so he actually gave himself a county lieutenant.Immediately, dissatisfaction was shown, and he never thanked him, just stood there straight.

Li Shimin noticed Lu Bu's strange behavior, and hurriedly gave him a hand, motioning him to thank him quickly, and Lu Bu reluctantly thanked him.

All of this was naturally seen by Huangfu Jie, and he felt that his decision was very wise. This Lv Bu actually took credit for being arrogant, self-righteous, and not the way of a general.

In the end, Huangfu Jie didn't care about Lu Bu's unreasonableness, and sent them off after saying a few words.Before leaving, he gave Li Shimin another big "welfare", appointed him a Yanmen County captain, and gave him a county soldier establishment, so that he could recruit 2000 people and continue to defend Mayi.

…………

After Li Shimin and the others left, Huangfu Jie ordered people to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, collect the soldiers' bones, count the casualties, and return to the camp to rest.

At this time, Huangfu Festival also began to write to the military newspaper of the Governor's Mansion, and it is expected that they are also waiting for their own results.He described the battle in detail. This time the Han army also suffered a lot of losses, but it was indeed a big victory.

The Han army killed more than 1 people and seriously injured 4.The Hu people suffered even greater losses. Except for the [-] Hu people who surrendered and thousands of people fled, at least [-] to [-] people died in the battle. This battle also made Hu Yi dare not commit another crime in a year or two.

For those who have meritorious service, he also records it in the credit book.Of course, Li Shimin's contribution was emphasized. Haosheng praised him a lot and recommended him to Zhang Yi, saying that he is a talent of Qilin, and recommending him to be the magistrate of Mayi County.

It's just that at the end of the report, it mentioned "Lu Bu is unruly, breaking the formation on his own, and is unparalleled in the world".

After Li Shimin returned to the county, he was naturally very happy. He didn't expect to be promoted to the county magistrate so soon, and he was one step closer to his goal.But he didn't get too carried away, and continued to act in a low-key manner.

He also asked people to buy hundreds of sheep and other wild game from the mountains in the city, prepared hundreds of altars of good wine, and sent them to the camp on Huangfu Festival in a mighty manner. Naturally, they all accepted it with a smile, and were very satisfied with Li Shimin's intentions.

It's just that Lu Bu obviously didn't want to be inferior to him, so he still had to find a way to subdue him. If it really didn't work, he could only find another job, and don't get in the way.

…………

Outside Yanmen Pass, Qiu Mu's army attacked for 2 days in a row, and each time they were almost able to win, which made Qiu Mu very annoyed. However, as time went by, he also felt that it seemed that the Han army did it on purpose. What you want is to consume yourself.

He hurriedly asked the scouts to go to the place where the Mayi army was stationed to report the situation. On the way, the scouts met Helian's messenger, and the two returned to Qiumu camp at the same time.

The order he got was to quickly lead the army to withdraw northward, not to love fighting along the way, and to preserve his strength.It turned out that Helian hadn't forgotten his army.

Later, He Lian also understood that he was caught in a series of tricks by the Han people. He was afraid that Qiu Mu would not be able to take Yanmen Pass, so he sent someone to order Qiu Mu to withdraw from the battle immediately.

After Qiu Mu got the news, he was sure that he had been tricked by the Han people. He couldn't help being furious and furious. He couldn't take Yanmen Pass and lost 1 troops. It was really a loss to his grandma's house. No wonder he was so angry.

In desperation, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and finally glanced at Yanmen Pass unwillingly, and said viciously: "One day, I will come back, and the shame of today will be returned in full in the future!" gone.

…………

Huangfu Festival's army rested outside Mayi City for 2 days, and the soldiers also recovered their strength. The next day, they were ready to return to Yanmen Pass. Huangfu Jie was impatient and was too worried about the safety of Yanmen Pass.Li Shimin also came to see him off when the army withdrew on Huangfu Festival.

This time Li Shimin was able to successfully survive the first tough battle at the end of the Han Dynasty, thanks to the army led by Huangfu Jie, otherwise it would be useless to let him be unparalleled in wisdom and have no soldiers in his hands, so he is very grateful deep in his heart.

This battle also benefited Li Shimin a lot. In addition to gaining a firm foothold in Mayi and gaining a deep prestige, his reputation also spread in several nearby counties. convenient.

In addition, Li Shimin also successfully won the seat of Mayi county magistrate, which made it easier for him to farm and train troops in Mayi, and had his own "base area".

All this made Li Shimin very happy...
