The next morning, at the age of 10, Jiang Tao and others finally waited for Li Mu's summoning order and gathered in the front hall of the governor's mansion.

Li Mu was waiting for them alone.

The candles were long at the corner of the desk, and only about an inch of them were left. Tears of candles were stacked on the candlestick, and a roll of geographical map was spread over the desk.

His face was faintly tired, but his eyes were bright and bright. When everyone arrived, he announced his decision.

The troops immediately headed north to fight against the Western Jin army.

After the words came, the whole room was quiet and no one answered for a moment.

Everyone was shocked by his decision.

They had already prepared for the Western Jin army to attack again at any time, so they immediately soldiered, and there was no big problem.

Jiang Tao was confident that everything could be dispatched within three days and the army could be driven out at any time.

What surprised him was Li Mu's strategic reaction to the news.

Open canals and trenches, set up obstacles, strengthen city defense, and accumulate food and grass. Before the arrival of the Western Jin army, seize this precious time, use all means to continue preparing for the war, and then wait for the effort to join forces with Qiuchi to fight together, and even make the last step, use the towering and solid city walls to defend the city for a long time, wait for an opportunity to defend and counterattack, and strive for the most favorable results. This is the most reasonable strategic response that everyone thinks is the current.

He did not expect that in the face of the fierce enemy, he would take the initiative to fight without making the most stable defense without making the most stable defense.

Without Yicheng, the retreat means that once the army goes north, it can only win, not lose. Otherwise, all previous situations will be in vain.

Jiang Tao knew that he had always made plans before moving.

After a brief surprise, he hesitated for a moment and asked him about his strategy.

Li Mu moved his finger to a little place on the map and fell down.

Everyone followed his guidance and looked at the map.

Shunyang County.

The Western Jin army set out from Chang'an to Yicheng, from north to south, and along the way, they passed through Weixing, Pingxing, and Shangluo counties.

Shunyang County is located in the middle of Pingxing and Shangluo, seven or eight hundred miles away from Yicheng. The tributary of the Dahe River, which is vast and prosperous, crosses the north of the county, and flows into the Luo River from west to east.

It is precisely because of this vast river that Shunyang has become a military city. Now it is controlled by Xijin and has about 10,000 soldiers stationed on a daily basis.

"As fastest as the troops go north, it is necessary to capture Shunyang before the Western Jin army arrives in Shunyang, control the ferry, and wait for the arrival of the Western Jin army!"

Li Mu's tone was stable, almost the same as his usual tone, and he could not hear any high-pitched voice.

But the two gazes like torch revealed his vigorous thunderous ambition and unchangeable determination at this moment.

Jiang Tao finally understood his intention.

If the conventional strategy was followed and Yicheng was waiting for the arrival of the Western Jin army, the two sides would go to war. The Western Jin people would never easily conquer Yicheng.

But accordingly, it is an unrealistic wish for Yi Chengjun to fight and defeat the other party.

The greatest possibility is confrontation. Even if Yoshiseki can win in the end and force the other party to retreat, it will inevitably be a difficult and protracted war.

The long-lasting battle tests the food and support of both sides.

One side is a country, occupying all the land of Longxi, with dozens of cities and endless military sources.

And Yicheng, apart from this lonely city with shallow foundation, is simply incomparable to the strength of the powerful Xijin.

Qiu Chi is a supporter, not a reliance.

If the battle situation really goes to a confrontation in the end, then all the pressure will undoubtedly be pressed on Yicheng's head.

And now, do the opposite.

Completely abandon the conservative anti-counterfeiting strategy, take the initiative to fight, seize Shunyang, and then use Shunyang as the basis to borrow a big river to face the strong enemy.

Military power is still strong, and the expectation is appropriate.

It seems dangerous, but it is not just a surprise attack or surprise?

This is a bold, courageous, yet well-founded approach to challenge.

There were more than a dozen people in the hall, and they all stared at the point Li Mu pointed in the map, and kept their breath.

After a while, Sun Fangzhi suddenly laughed and said, "The Xianbei people just want to attack Yicheng, thinking that we are strengthening the city defense now, so how could they expect us to go on the road to greet them and give them a good gift?"

Everyone laughed and said loudly: "We will obey our orders! Everything will be followed by the command of the governor!"

Li Mu nodded, pressed his sword and stood up, his eyes flashed across his face in front of him, and said, "Zhizhao Hou Ding. Three days later, send troops on time!"

...

The strong enemy attacked again, but this time, no longer defended and counterattacked on the spot like last time, and the governor wanted to lead the army north to fight. This news spread throughout the city.

The military camp was ready to set off. Cars carrying food and supplies kept coming and going outside the city gate. The sound of orders from time to time in the camp made the atmosphere of the entire city become serious and tense.

Luo Shen led the women in the city to seize the last few days, and finally finished the last batch of military uniforms and shoes and put them down.

The 30,000 soldiers sent by Hou Ding also arrived quickly and joined the Yicheng Army's camp.

Li Mu left 10,000 troops to defend the city.

Tomorrow morning, he would lead the remaining 70,000 troops and leave Yicheng and go north to snipe the enemy.

It was dark. The lights were brightly lit in front of the governor's mansion, and the sound of horses neighing kept coming from the door.

These nights, people have been coming and going in the front hall. Li Mu only returned in the middle of the night, lying down and then slept, and got up before dawn.

Besides, the soldiers will be in need tomorrow morning, and Luoshen guessed that he would be even busier tonight.

She only asked the cook to cook enough food and send it to the front, so that he and the generals who were preparing for the final preparations for the soldiers with him could have a hot meal. However, she did not expect that at the time of Xu, she heard the sound of a maid calling him from outside.

She was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the last few stitches on the clothes he made for him. After sewing, she shook them open and held them in her hand, checking for any omissions on the stitches on the clothes. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw him pushing the door and entering.

"Will Mr. Lang come back to get the goods?"

Luo Shen thought he was going to take something behind him, put down his clothes and needlework, and got up to greet him, but saw him smiling, walked towards him quickly, held her arm, helped her sit back, and said, "There is nothing I have ever happened before, so I will go back."

The God of Luo understood.

He must have started preparing for this war a long time ago.

After deciding on specific combat plans and arranging important personnel and other chores, he naturally didn't have to keep an eye on the whole process.

"Are you tired? I'll ask someone to give you water and take a shower and have a rest early."

She was about to get up again, but Li Mu held her hands.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at her fingers, and saw several marks on the green fingertips that were pricked by needles. He shook his head and looked at her with love.

"I'm not tired. Thank you for your hard work. Why do you do it yourself? It's all swollen."

He gently kissed her finger.

Luo Shen felt sweet in his heart, and he felt willing to pierce ten more holes. He shook his head and said it was not hard to do it. He pulled his hand back, picked up his clothes and said, "I just finished the clothes and you came back. I wanted to ask you to try it two days ago, but you were not available. Try it quickly, whether it fits the size or not."

Li Mu stood up with a smile and put on the clothes she made for herself.

He lowered his head, watched his little wife tidy up his clothes and tied his belt for him, and then ordered him to open his arms and check back and forth, looking busy and virtuous.

The size of the clothes was just right. Luo Shen carefully checked it, but the front and back plaques were sewn slightly asymmetrically by her. The back piece was slightly longer than the front piece.

Although it is worn inside, and you can't see it without looking carefully. But in the end, I feel it is not perfect.

She was a little annoyed, and immediately asked him to take it off and modify it immediately.

Li Mu smiled and grabbed her hand: "No need to change it, it's great. My Ami makes the best clothes, and no one else can compare to them. I want to wear this clothes until I'm old."

Luo Shen's face turned red by his praise, so he had to watch him take off his new clothes, fold it carefully, and put it on.

"Ami, are you tired?"

He put down his clothes and suddenly asked.

Luo Shen shook his head: "Not tired."

"I'll take you to ride a horse outside the city. I'll teach you how to let the horse listen to you, okay?"

She has been here for so long, and he always has endless things to do. It seems that he is still the first time he said he wants to take him out of the city to ride a horse.

Luo Shen hugged his arm in a moment, and was a little unbelievable: "Really? Didn't you lie to me?"

"Didn't you think I'd teach you how to ride a horse? I didn't teach you. I'm leaving tomorrow morning. We'll go out of the city to ride a horse when we have time at night."

Luo Shen's eyes shone, hey, and nodded immediately: "Okay! I'll go now! Wait, I'll change my clothes!"

Li Mu smiled and watched her rummaging through the boxes and looking for clothes. Finally, she seemed to find something that she was satisfied with. When she wanted to change, she turned around and saw him looking at him, but she didn't allow him to look at him, so she pushed him around.

He had no choice but to turn around and listen to the rustling sound of changing clothes coming from behind him. After a while, her voice sounded: "Langjun, can you see that I am like this?"

Li Mu turned around and saw her wearing a goose yellow skirt. The skirt was long to the knees, her sleeves were tied up, and her lower head was a pair of horse-riding pants. Her trousers were tucked into a pair of small black leather boots. Her small breasts were raised, and she held her waist and stood tall, beautiful and energetic.

Li Mu stepped forward, held one of her hands, and took her out.

...

In early spring, a crescent moon like a sickle hangs on the distant hill. The stars shine brightly, vaguely shining the white hair on the top of the mountain, which has not yet melted out. However, the nearby wilderness is full of new spring grass buds everywhere.

It was a clear night, the air was fresh, with a slight chill that made people feel energetic. The black horse let go of four hooves, carried the male and female hostess on her back, galloped in the vast wilderness outside Yicheng City, and finally stopped on a flat ground.

Li Mu taught his wife how to control horses.
