Chapter 823 Withdrawal (New Year's Eve! Reunion Dinner! Firecrackers! Fireworks!)
"Up to now, the situation has gradually become clear. Many officials in the State Shepherd's Mansion have begun to move closer to us. Although there are some risky things, the result is going in a good direction after all. At this time, we have to show our strength. Sincerity!" Mu Jing said in a low voice.

"Sincerity?" Hu Zhao frowned.

"Withdraw troops from Chengdu City first!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Except for Shenwei Modao Battalion, the rest of the soldiers and horses, including the Yizhou Army, all withdraw, withdraw from the outskirts of Chengdu, and are not allowed in the city!"

"Withdraw now?"

When Hu Zhao heard this, he was silent for a while. Withdrawing troops is a matter of time. Too many soldiers and horses squeezed into the city will also cause a burden on Chengdu. The disaster of military disaster is not what he wants.

However, he was also a little worried that he would not be able to control the situation in the city, so Xun Sheng asked, "My lord, what if Liu Yan turns back on us?"

"Back to what you promised?" Mu Jing sneered: "That also requires him to have the courage to spare!"

"That's not necessarily the case. Although Liu Junlang lost to us, he can coordinate the power of Yizhou, so don't underestimate him!"

Hu Zhao said: "Now that the situation has been initially settled, if the righteousness is taken lightly, and the enemy is underestimated, and instead let it turn around, then it will really become the laughing stock of the world!"

"Of course I won't underestimate the enemy!"

Mu Jing nodded in agreement with Hu Zhao's words, and said: "Since he didn't dare to do anything in the state pastoral mansion, he doesn't dare to do it now. He can't fight the destiny, so he has to admit defeat, but after he admits defeat, he is more worried about his own The issue of bloodline survival, now, what he is racing against time is definitely not about killing me, but more about how to appease me, and then he can complete his deployment in Yizhou, at least let Liu Zhang have the ability to save his life!"

"He is such a hero, if he can't see hope, I'm afraid he will have the heart to die together!"

Hu Zhao said softly.

"So we have to give him hope!"

Mu Jing stood up, raised his head, stared at the sky, and raised a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth: "If you want people to trust this signboard of Minghou Mansion, you have to work hard. It is sincerity, and only when we give them enough sincerity can they trust us!"

"Understood!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

"These days, the relationship between us is very delicate. I can do what I have to do. I still go to the State Shepherd's House every day to take over the government affairs of Yizhou as You Changshi. As for the secret things, I can't do it." Stop, and it should be faster, such as recruiting generals, appeasing officials, you come forward in person, and do it as my Minghou Mansion, there is no need to be taboo, you can do things clearly, you can visit, you can invite guests! "

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "In short, the speed must be fast!"

He stared at the front, as if he was looking in the direction of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and continued: "Actually, the situation seems to be stable now, but the ripples will inevitably turn into waves. We are all fighting for time. It will be three months before Liu Yan comes out." Life, the winner will be decided within three months, and the one who gets the last laugh will be the winner!"

"it is good!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

He thought for a while and said: "Then the officials of the Minghou Mansion must be sent south immediately. The officials under his command are better off with the familiar. Over the years, the Minghou Mansion has established its own administrative system!"

"No!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing shook his head and objected to Hu Zhao's statement: "Kong Ming, it is the autumn of Yizhou's critical survival, when people's hearts are fluctuating, if we aggressively let the officials of the Minghou Mansion intervene in the Mu Mansion of Yizhou Prefecture The system will inevitably create a hostility that will replace it, and will make everyone panic!"

"But outsiders, after all, can't be trusted!"

Hu Zhao frowned.

"Is it credible? We have to use Yizhou people to manage Yizhou affairs, so that they can calm down their uneasy mood in a short period of time!" Mu Jing retorted: "The state pastoral government has been in business for many years, There are also many talents, depending on how you use them, not all of them may not be useful!"

"Disaster!"

Hu Zhao spit out a word: "Unless we rely on the aristocratic family, but in this way, there will be too many hidden dangers in the future. If they control the administration of Yizhou, we will undoubtedly be puppets!"

"It's not difficult, so I don't need you!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "In the Minghou Mansion, you are the one with the strongest ruling ability. , this measure is up to you!"

"Someone, I can only try it!"

Hu Zhao was helpless.

In this way, he is like a leader who has descended from the air, and he is the kind who has no direct lineage at all. He is easily fooled by the alliance of the lower levels. The officialdom is already balanced, but he has no direct lineage, so he can't tell who is who. People, it's hard to balance like this.

What he fears most is hiring the wrong person.

At this time, people's hearts are uncertain. Those who have their hearts toward Liu Yan and those who know the current affairs are heroes. If they are regarded as confidantes at this time, their hearts will still be toward Liu Yan in the future, and they will stab themselves in the dark. It will be a sad reminder.

"It's not a try, Hu Kongming, you have to do this well!"

Mu Jing issued a death order: "Liu Yan will not let us take control of the state pastoral mansion easily. If we miss this period, his direct line will be silent. Who knows if we will be buried by then?" A few dead soldiers, we can only take advantage of this opportunity to attack quickly to identify those people who are loyal to Liu Yan!"

"You really can use a single sentence to kill people!" Hu Zhao had a bitter face.

After half a minute, the two returned to the topic.

"Just now you were playing your temper at the door, show it to Huang Quan and the others, or hit Lei Hu?"

Hu Zhao asked.

"All!"

Mu Jing replied: "That guy Leihu, he has learned to be a little more stable recently, but he feels a little timid. In fact, I'm thinking whether he suppressed his nature and made him lose his advantage. He is not a person who can keep his eyes on the battlefield in all directions, so he is suitable for charging!"

He has been tempering Leihu, and wants Leihu to grow according to his expected path. However, now he has discovered that some people and some paths cannot be forced at all. Suppressing the nature is not worth the loss.

Lei Hu has a keen response on the battlefield. He knows when to attack and when to defend. However, if he thinks about it carefully, he will worry more and his reaction will be slower.

If it was put in the past, there might be no signal, and Lei Hu has already charged, so there is no such thing as the burning of the Minghou Mansion.

"Lieutenant Lei is a fighting tiger, you want to turn him into a fox like a wise man, is it possible?"

Hu Zhao asked back.

"It's my fault!"

Mujing said in self-reflection.

"Then you still lose his temper!" Hu Zhao was a little amused.

"Hmph!" Mu Jing snorted coldly: "I blame myself for not being able to beat myself up, I can only vent my anger on him!"

"I've never seen such a worthless lord like you!"

Hu Zhao is despising Mu Jing.

Mu Jing curled his lips, disapproving, he pondered for a while, and asked, "Huang Quan and the others, how do you plan to use it?"

"If we want to use them, we must govern Yizhou without them, but they can only be used for politics, and we cannot let them control the army. These people are in charge of the army, and our hidden danger is too great!"

"No!"

But Mu Jing shook his head: "On the contrary, I want to throw them all into the army, both Huang Quan and Zhao Wei, Deng Xian Lengbao and the others also have general talents, use them, don't waste them!"

"why?"

"Students will despise warriors, so I have to let them become warriors. Only when they lose their aura of gentry, can I rule them step by step. As for the army, I believe they can't overthrow the sky!"

On this point, Mujing is very careful.

"Your trick is a bit ruthless!" Hu Zhao gasped.

Since ancient times, civil and military have been opposed, and civil servants and generals have not followed the same path. Those who are good at government are not good at war, and those who are good at war are not good at government. Those who are good at both are rare.

Rule the army with civil servants.

Give them the name of a rough martial artist, and their superior gentry support will be completely invalid.

"Take this matter slowly!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "Governing the gentry is not achieved overnight, but it is a fact that we rely on them now. Without them, it would be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Yizhou, but in order to prevent them from being arrogant, we still have to give them some face. !"

"Then when will you meet them!"

"Two more days!"

Mujing pondered for a while: "Let's hang out with them first, and I don't have time now, I haven't finished playing chess with Liu Yan, I can't relax for a moment, the winner who laughs at the end is the real winner! "

..............................

………………

"What, let's get out?"

"Why?"

Liu Gui from Deng County heard that Mujing had issued such an order, and they were a little puzzled. They all looked at Huang Quan. Among the gentry, Huang Quan, the former head of the State Shepherd's Mansion, was the leader.

Huang Quan said in a deep voice, "Follow the military orders!"

The general in charge of the army was a little unwilling.

"This is the end of the matter, and we have no other way!"

Zhang Song took the lead to come down and make a decision: "Act with respect!"

"It's not just me withdrawing, I heard that Mu Jun also withdrew the main force!"

Leng Bao said.

"Then aren't they afraid of Pang Xi Gaoding in the city making trouble?"

This is a question that many people can't figure out.

"This game of chess is played by Lord Shijun and Lord Minghou. We are all pawns! How can we see through what they are thinking, just like when we couldn't see clearly and dared to take risks!"

Huang Quan smiled wryly: "Let's go out first, let's wait and see the situation!"

................................................

……

"What, they all withdrew?" In the lobby of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Yan heard Pang Xi's report, his eyes sank slightly, and there was no joy on his face, but deep thought.

"Hey!"

After a while, he let out a long sigh, and said weakly: "After all, someone underestimated Mu Longtu too much. With his courage and courage, he should be regarded as a hero. How could he be so arrogant?" He is an obedient person, I am leading a wolf into the house!"

He regretted it a little.

He regretted why he accepted Mu Jing in the first place, regretted why he easily believed that the wild wolf Mu Jing could be tamed, a wolf would always be a wolf, and it was impossible to be tamed into a domestic dog.

"My lord, I will lead the troops to the Marquis of Pingming!"

Pang Xi gritted his teeth, and said indignantly, "Just lift his head and return!"

"return!"

Liu Yan snorted coldly and said angrily, "Do you want the whole city of Chengdu to be buried with him?"

Hearing this, Pang Xi gasped, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: "Could it be that we just let him run rampant like this!"

"The matter has come to this, what can be done!"

Liu Yan shook his head: "This is his sincerity!"

"Sincere?"

Dong Fu cupped his hands and said: "Master, it seems that he really dares to gamble his life!"

"I've already lost my life bet. Now, we're betting on luck. Since he can show us his sincerity, I have to show my own sincerity!"

Liu Yan spread out the cloth, picked up a pen to study the ink, tapped it, and wrote two secret letters directly on the cloth, then sealed it with a bamboo tube and sealing wax, handed it out to Pang Xi, and said, "Give it to me immediately." Send it out, hurry up and send it to Yan Yan and Zhang Ren!"

"promise!"

Pang Xi cupped it and took the order to leave.

"My lord, Mu Longtu has countless elite soldiers and powerful generals, can he really accommodate Zhang Ren and Yan Yan?" Dong Fu wrote for Liu Yan, and he asked only after Pang Xi left.

Although Dong Fu was actually prepared for this point, but at this moment he was still a little unwilling.

If these two letters from Liu Yan are out, they will have no chance of turning over, because these two letters are the letters that made Zhang Ren and Yan Yan give up their resistance and wait for compilation. Zhang Ren's loyalty is no problem. Even if Yan Yan complained, he was at a loss.

Therefore, as soon as this letter came out, the overall situation in Yizhou was settled.

"A certain family doesn't know!"

Liu Yan smiled wryly, and said: "Mu Longtu has extraordinary courage and is conceited. Just because he dared to enter my cage alone, it has already proved that he is a person who trusts me very much. People, so he won't be afraid of someone making great achievements!"

He paused, and then said: "However, Zhang Ren Yanyan is also a rebellious general, he may not be able to follow him, go against him, and maybe his life will not survive!"

He sighed again: "But at this point, the Dongzhou Army and the Berkshire Army have nowhere to go, unless they are allowed to seek refuge in Jingzhou, but I would rather die in Yizhou than let them seek refuge in Jingzhou. Raise your hands and surrender!"

"I try my best to keep them. Zhang'er needs someone to support her. I need to keep Yizhou's troops. Only the soldiers will be intimidating to save Zhang'er's life!"

Dong Fu heard the words, frowned again, and said: "I'm afraid that Mu Longtu will be cruel and merciless, the lord is still there, and he can't be restrained anymore, if the lord is gone, it's okay for him to cut grass and roots!"

Liu Yan was a little silent when he heard this sentence.

"We also withdraw our troops!"

Suddenly, Liu Yan said.

"what?"

Dong Fu stared wide-eyed.

"Didn't he want a master and his ministers to be happy with each other? I'll give him this face!" Liu Yan said.

....................................

The tense atmosphere in Chengdu City seemed to dissipate overnight. The square gates were opened, the soldiers and horses in the city were withdrawn, and peace and tranquility were instantly restored.

This surprised countless people in the city.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"I do not know!"

"It seems that all the troops in the city have been withdrawn!"

"What the hell happened here?"

"A few days ago, you were beaten to death. Are you shaking hands now?"

"..."

The people in the city are in an inexplicable atmosphere at this moment, and they feel that they can't understand the changes in the situation.
