"Deputy Jin, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.”
Li Mu didn't want to waste his energy explaining the details to Han Hao. Instead, he looked at the county magistrate who was hiding at the side.
This county magistrate was actually quite a character. His surname was Jin and his name was Wen. He was the younger brother of Fan County Magistrate Jin Yun.
The two brothers were both talented scholars in Yanzhou.
If not for this, Li Mu would not have handed Puyang's government affairs to Jin Wen.
Retreating behind the scenes was Li Mu's strategy to protect himself.
However, if the county magistrate of Puyang was an idiot, Li Mu would also have a headache.
When Jin Wen saw that Li Mu's address had changed from " County Deputy " to " County Deputy Jin," he was delighted.
This meant that Li Mu was officially speaking to Jin Wen with the identity of Puyang City Magistrate.
"General Han, you have misunderstood the county magistrate.”Jin Wen tidied up his clothes and patiently explained to Han Hao the purpose of the second plan.
Knowing Li Mu's true intentions, Han Hao quickly apologized,""Han Hao is a boorish man, sorry to trouble you. From now on, if you ask me to go east, I will never go west!”
Han Hao expressed his attitude, and the way he addressed him became respectful.
A raging flame was ignited in his heart again.
As expected, Puyang Ling wouldn't give up the city. If I followed Puyang Ling to build a miraculous achievement, I, Han Hao, could boast for the rest of my life.
"Deputy Jin, go and send a letter to Chen Gong.”Just as Jin Wen had predicted, Li Mu was giving orders to Jin Wen as the official Puyang City Magistrate."You only have one chance."
In other words, Li Mu could not pursue Jin Wen's mistake of being instigated by Chen Gong, but Jin Wen only had one chance to atone for his sins.
"Don't worry, Magistrate! I won't be stupid again!"
After Jin Wen left, Han Hao approached him and asked,""Sir, do you want me to send someone to follow?”
"No need." Li Mu shook his head gently." Jin Wen is a talent. I still need him to handle the government affairs of Puyang."”
Li Mu and Chen Gong were playing chess.
Jin Wen was just a small chess piece on the chessboard. Li Mu would not waste too much energy.
As for whether Jin Wen would leak the secret, Li Mu was not worried.
If an excellent strategist was not good at reading people's minds, then he should not be a strategist. Otherwise, he would be schemed to death.
If Jin Wen had met Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's treacherous and suspicious personality, Jin Wen would have died regardless of whether he atoned for his sins or not.
But Li Mu's situation was different.
If he killed Jin Wen, who would help Li Mu deal with the daily government affairs of Puyang?
Li Mu only wanted to be a salted fish strategist under Cao Cao's command. He would spend his days leisurely with his little wife, Cai Wenji. He would work from nine to five, have two days off on weekends, and even take an annual leave at the end of the year.
If it weren't for Xiahou Dun, Li Mu wouldn't even need to scheme against Chen Gong.
A few hundred dans of salary, what was the point of playing with their lives!
Li Mu gently played the zither, and the sound of the zither was quiet."General Han, General Xia Hou, how many soldiers did you leave behind?”
"Two hundred elite soldiers, I have already divided them into eight groups. Each group has twenty-five people, and they will take turns patrolling the four city towers of Pu Yang.”Han Hao was a little proud.
Although there were only 200 people, the patrols on the city gate tower could still be properly assigned.
"Retreat to the Clear Spring Villa." Li Mu was speechless.
I don't want these two hundred elite soldiers to patrol the city walls.
The situation in Yanzhou was already like this, what was the use of patrolling!
"Ah?" Han Hao was a little stunned, but when he met Li Mu's eyes, Han Hao instantly reacted. He had just promised to go east or not, so why was he hesitating?"Retreat immediately, retreat immediately! I'll do it now."
Han Hao was very efficient this time.
In less than an hour, the elite soldiers from the four city towers of Puyang were transferred back. According to Li Mu's request, they were all disguised as wanderers and scattered around the Clear Spring Building.
Everything was ready, waiting for the east wind to blow.
Night fell.
A bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the little house.
The spring water gurgled, giving off an elegant feeling.
"Wenji, it's a hot summer day. I don't have the mood to sleep.”
"The moonlight today should be pretty good. You and I are playing the zither harmoniously. How about we play a song of high mountains and flowing water to find a bosom friend?”
Under the moonlight, Li Mu invited Cai Wenji to play the zither.
Cai Yong was a guqin master, and Cai Wenji also liked playing the guqin.
Playing the zither was Cai Wenji's greatest pleasure other than reading.
It was Cai Wenji's happiest time playing with Li Mu.
Playing the zither was, after all, an elegant hobby. It was rare to find a soulmate.
The sound of the zither began to drift in the clear spring house.
..
At this moment.
Outside Puyang City, Chen Gong, who had received Jin Wen's letter, paced left and right uncertainly.
"Li Mu is actually in Puyang, and he's even using the alias of Recluse Clear Spring. No wonder Zhang Mengzhuo and I couldn't find Li Mu's whereabouts!”
"Just one step away from capturing Li Mu alive and spreading my name.”
"But Li Mu is full of tricks. If it's a trick, wouldn't he be walking into a trap if he went rashly?”
"But if it wasn't for the trick, I wouldn't have been able to capture Li Mu alive!”
Chen Gong was conflicted.
On the one hand, he wanted to capture Li Mu alive and make a name for himself. On the other hand, he was worried that Puyang City was a trap.
Li Mu only had 200 soldiers in Puyang City.
Chen Gong only had 200 soldiers.
Most of Chen Liu's soldiers had followed Lu Bu to attack Juancheng, while a small portion had followed Zhang Miao to Dingtao. Chen Gong could only mobilize 200 soldiers.
After taking down Puyang, Chen Gong did not attack the city but instigated the county officials in Puyang to rebel.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
"Puyang, I, Chen Gong, have taken it down!"
Chen Gong looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky and stomped his foot.
