Chapter 26
After reading the imperial decree, Linghu Chu invited Li Shimin over alone.When they came, Zhang Yi and Linghu Chu also explained separately, asking him to inform Li Shimin to visit the governor's mansion in a month, and he wanted to summon him.

That's why Linghu Chu invited Li Shimin here alone, one is that he also wants to check whether this Li Shimin is as good as his name, "Kirin's talent" is not just casually, and if this person is really extraordinary, then he secretly mentions him For a moment, make a good relationship.

This Linghu Chu is actually one of the eight Linglongs.

Li Shimin knew that Zhang Yi wanted to see him, but he didn't expect it, so he asked very puzzled: "Lord Chang Shi, what is the arrangement for Zhang Yi to see me?"

"Magistrate Li, don't panic. It's a good thing that the Shangguan summoned him. Besides, Inspector Zhang has a lot of things to do every day. Time is precious. If you can find time to see you, as long as you perform well, you will have a bright future." Linghuchu patiently explained.

Hearing what Linghu Chu said, Li Shimin felt that it was not a bad thing, so he felt relieved.

After a while, Linghu Chu suddenly asked mysteriously: "Is there a county captain named Lu Bu in Mayi?"

Hearing Linghu Chu mentioning Lu Bu, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, and he murmured to himself, "Could it be that Governor Zhang has also taken a fancy to this man." But after thinking about it, it's not surprising that Lu Bu is unparalleled in bravery.

So he said: "Master Chang Shi, Lv Bu was meritorious in resisting the Hu people, and the prefect of Huangfu promoted him to be the county captain of Mayi."

Linghu Chu was noncommittal, and then asked, "What do you think of Lu Bu?"

"This man is extremely brave, and he is unparalleled in the world. However, Lu Bu thinks highly of himself, coupled with his high martial arts skills, he is naturally a bit rebellious. Forgive me, I am afraid that this man will be difficult to control." Li Shimin did not dare to be sloppy. said.

Linghu Chu smiled and said: "Your judgment is exactly the same as Huangfu Taishou, but this person has fallen into Ding Sima's eyes."

"Could it be Ding Yuan Ding Sima?" Li Shimin asked in disbelief.

Yes, it was Ding Sima.Linghu Chu said frankly: "I am also accompanied by Shi Zhangyang, the marching commander of the Bingzhou Army. This person is Ding Sima's confidant general. The purpose of coming this time is to recruit Lu Bu."

Zhang Yang?Li Shimin also thought of this person.

Zhang Yang, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao were listed as the three most powerful generals under Ding Yuan's command.It is recorded in history that Zhang Yang was a native of Yunzhong County in Bingzhou. Because of his extraordinary martial arts, he was appointed as Wu Meng, and he served as a staff member of Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou at that time, and was in charge of the military.

Moreover, in history, he had a close relationship with Lu Bu, and his relationship was very strong. It was a pity that he went to rescue Lu Bu many times regardless of the previous suspicions, but was later killed by his subordinate Yang Chou.

"This Lu Bu's nature is hard to change, he is brave but not resourceful. Cao Cao loved talents so much back then, so he didn't kill him in the end. Well, it's better to let him go, otherwise he will be a disaster by his side sooner or later." Li Shimin finally made up his mind.

"What does the governor think about this?" Li Shimin asked Linghu Chu.

Linghu Chu was very satisfied with this Li Shimin, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "There are people in Ding Sima's court with a strong background, and Lord Inspector is not willing to offend him. Since he is the person he likes, Inspector Zhang will generally not stop."

Li Shimin obviously got a lot of information from this sentence, "It seems that Zhang Yi and this Ding Yuan are not in the same way, and this Ding Yuan is probably also an ambitious person."

Afterwards, the two of them talked a few words, Li Shimin left, and by the way, he personally arranged for him to live in the upper room of the county government. All the supplies were carefully prepared by Li Shimin's arrangement, which really satisfied Linghu Chu.

After staying in Mayi for 2 days, Linghu Chu left, and when he left, he warned Li Shimin again, remembering that he must arrive at the Governor's Mansion within a month, Zhang Yi is a very punctual person.

Naturally, Li Shimin quickly thanked him and said, "Definitely, definitely."

Li Shimin was also very upright, and when he left, he gave Linghu Chu the two horses he had collected. These two horses were tall and majestic, and they were also rare horses with a thousand li, which were extremely rare.Linghu Chu liked it very much, and with Ai Wu Ji Wu, he accepted it without refusing.

…………

The next day, Lu Bu came to see Li Shimin to bid farewell, but he still couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to Ding Yuan's invitation, and went to Ding Yuan's army.

Lu Bu felt no embarrassment when he saw Li Shimin, and felt that he was repaying Li Shimin for saving his father's life by helping him guard Mayi.

And at that time, it was also Li Shimin who said that he was working under his command for the time being, and he himself did not agree to join him. Furthermore, he said that people go to high places, and his choice is understandable, so there is no guilt at all.

Just before he left, he begged Li Shimin to take care of his father for a period of time. At the same time, he hoped that Li Shimin would not tell his father the truth, but said that he was favored by the court and transferred to Bingzhou Governor's Mansion.

During the Han Dynasty, it was also said that "heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher", father Lu must not be able to refuse the imperial court's order, after all, serving the imperial court is engraved in their bones.After Lu Bu settles down in Jinyang, he will take his father over.

Li Shimin naturally agreed, and then Lu Bu rushed towards Jinyang...

…………

After successfully taking over Ma Yi, Li Shimin felt that the time was not waiting for him, so he immediately made some arrangements.Although Mayi has been repeatedly harassed by Hu people, it is still a transportation hub for north-south travel, and trade with Hu is frequent, so the county's finances still have some money.

There are a total of more than 2 taels of gold, [-] shi of grain, and some other supplies.

Of course, County Magistrate Li took some of it himself, which is what the title should mean, as long as it is not too much, Li Shimin is too lazy to pursue it.

Li Shimin arranged for Zhang Liao to continue to recruit soldiers, and at the same time absorb refugees, mainly young and middle-aged.Only maintain 2000 capable troops, and the excess number will be arranged in the villages built around Mayi in the form of strong people, but they must also participate in the usual training.

And asked him to build a horse farm in Guancen Mountain, put the collected fine horses in it, and cultivate his own fine war horses.In addition, continue to buy horses from the Hu people, and add at least 500-1000 more horses to my original 2000 horses.

Before winter comes, build water conservancy projects in the Sanggan River Basin to the east of Mayi, and continue to reclaim land. The short-term goal is to reach 2 mu.

In short, they made a lot of arrangements. Zhang Liao was a military general, and he was really not good at handling internal affairs. Li Shimin had no choice but to ask the old county magistrate to come out of the mountain, and found some clever subordinates for him to cooperate with him.

Mr. Zhang, the county magistrate, had already taken care of himself for the rest of his life, and when he came out of the mountain again, he was also happy to go there, as he was using his spare heat.

He was extremely comfortable with these things, so Li Shimin was naturally very relieved, and he also longed for this internal affairs talent even more.

Seeing that he had almost made arrangements, he prepared to get up and go to Jinyang, and went to Bingzhou governor's mansion to meet Zhang governor.For the sake of safety along the way, he brought Gan Xinghan with him, and by the way he took a dozen or so elite guards with him.

Li Shimin felt that this summoning must have other meanings, so he also prepared carefully, writing a detailed report on the situation of the enemy and ourselves around Mayi, border defense, etc., maybe it is not necessary to use it, it is always right to be prepared.

 In this chapter, Lv Bu is about to leave Li Shimin. In history, Lv Bu has repeatedly repeated the facts, so it is difficult to recover. Besides, he will be needed in the following plots, please wait and see.
