Zou Jing's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she said softly, "Brother-in-law, it's true. Does brother-in-law think that Jing'er is not suitable to be a housekeeper?"

"That's not true. I just think that after you become a housekeeper, you will be very hard, and I worry that you will be tired. You see, there are a lot of people in our backyard, and there are two to three hundred maids, servants and handymen. In addition to you Sister Wuxia and the six of them need you to be by my side every day. In this way, you are not easy, there are so many trivial matters inside and out. The burden is not light!" Li Li said, looking at Zou Jing with pity.

After hearing Li Li's words, Zou Jing smiled very sweetly.He said softly: "Thank you brother-in-law for your concern. In fact, the housekeeper is not as tired as you said. They are all in charge of the servants and servants in the back. I just take care of the maids in our mansion, and just check the daily expenses of the mansion once in a while." .If something goes wrong, the eldest lady will come forward to solve it, and the other five ladies will also help."

Li Li was stunned when he heard this.He said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be very organized, with layers of control, and very organized! Is this Xiner's idea, or was it discussed and formulated by Wuxia and the others?"

Zou Jing smiled and replied: "This is what the six wives have discussed a long time ago. It will be implemented from today, and it is also my first day as the housekeeper of the inner palace."

"Hehehe! So, brother-in-law has to listen to Jing'er's arrangements, right?" Li Li asked with a smile.

What Li Li didn't expect was that Zou Jing nodded seriously, and said affirmatively: "Yes, what brother-in-law said is right. I just waited for you to come back in the inner hall. The eldest lady asked me to report to brother-in-law, tonight You go to bed in sister Yu's room."

"Huh? Why is this arrangement? Is there something special about it?" Li Li asked in amazement.

"Brother-in-law is so smart, you hit the nail on the head!" Zou Jing nodded happily and praised Li Li, and then said: "Brother-in-law will not forget that the six wives asked you to choose a wedding robe a few days ago. First, I picked out the wedding gown made by Sister Yu, so you will go to Sister Yu's place tonight."

"You really have an idea!" Li Li exclaimed, and then asked: "Jing'er, since you have already made plans for tonight, have you already made plans for tomorrow night?"

Zou Jing blushed when she heard this and said in a low voice: "Yes. Brother-in-law will go to Sister Chen Yu tonight, and Sister Li Xin tomorrow, followed by Sister Cai Yan, Sister Wuxia, Sister Ren and Sister Dong Wan. .After that, it will be rotated sequentially”

Li Li listened to Zou Jing's narration, with a strange expression on his face, rather dumbfounded.

After a long silence, Li Li got up and walked to his bedroom.But his bedroom is now Li Xin's boudoir, because she is the eldest wife of Longxiang Li's mansion.

When the backyard was re-cleaned a few days ago, Lily was not involved.Unexpectedly, he did not have his own bedroom, so that if he wanted to rest, he had to sleep in the rooms of the six wives.In addition, he can only sleep in the wing room.

It can be seen that the six wives in his family are not only beautiful, but also smart.Such an arrangement is indeed to squeeze out Li Li, who is full of energy, so that he cannot be idle all day, and has to sleep with his wife every night.The six wives took turns serving the bed, allowing him to spend a lot of energy while sitting and enjoying the blessings of everyone.

Hearing such an arrangement at first, Li Li knew without thinking that it was a ghostly idea of ​​Dian Wuxia.Except for her, Li Xin and the others would never squeeze him so knowingly.

"Jing'er, go and call Yu'er and the others to my room. On the wedding night, do they want to stay in the vacant room alone? It's just nonsense, and they even came up with an order of six people taking turns serving the bed! I told you about it Forget it, let them all come to my room, whoever dares not come, I will take care of her in front of the other five people, and spank her ass!" Li Li said as he walked.

"Oh!" After hearing Li Li's words, Zou Jing blushed with shame, and replied in a low voice.Then she walked quickly to Dian Wuxia's room, because five of the six wives were in Dian Wuxia's room, and only Chen Yu stayed in her boudoir.

Just when Li Li was about to be buried together, thousands of miles away, on the Xiutu wasteland under the rule of Wuwei County, a light cavalry force of about 3 people approached Xiutu city at night.

Xiutu City, located in the northernmost plain of the Xiutu Wasteland, is the northern barrier of the Xiutu Horse Farm of the Wuwei Army, and is also an important border town to defend against the invasion of the Huns and Xianbei from the north.At the same time, this was also the place where Li Li first established a military horse farm when he regained Wuwei County. It is not an exaggeration to regard it as the birthplace of Li Li's foothold in Liangzhou.

Today, the city wall of Xiutu City has undergone three large-scale expansions and repairs successively. It is more than ten miles long, four feet high, and two feet five feet thick. It guards the northern entrance, like a pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.There are tens of thousands of herdsmen in this city, who specialize in herding sheep and horses for Xiutu Horse Farm.There are more than [-] infantry guarding the city, and the guards are Li Dian and Li Mancheng, known as the "Iron Wall General" in the Wuwei Army.

In the southern wilderness more than ten miles away from Xiutu City, there is a very large building area, which is the Xiutu Horse Farm under the name of Wuwei Army.In this Wubao-style building, nearly [-] high-quality war horses are kept in captivity, and there are about [-] horse herders who live in the horse farm all the year round.These herdsmen have a fixed rest time every month, and their food is generous. Their family members amount to more than [-] people, all of whom live in Xiutu City.

In addition to the horsemen, there are more than [-] iron cavalry stationed in Wubao for a long time. The left and right captains of the racecourse are brothers Huan Lang and Huan Bao.

Huan Lang and Huan Bao are brothers with different surnames. They are not well-known among the generals of the Wuwei Army, and they can be regarded as the unknown type of people.However, if they mentioned their names before they defected to the Wuwei Army, I am afraid that the officials in all counties and counties in Liangzhou are familiar with it, and their reputation is extremely loud.They are the three and four leaders of the Flying Horse Pirates in the past. They were originally six brothers. Strictly speaking, they are the generals of Feihu Huanfei's family, known as the "Six Generals of the Huan Family".

The six brothers are Huan Lang, Huan Bao, Huan Zhong, Huan Yi, Huan Shuang and Huan Quan. They used to be military lords in the Wuwei Army.Last autumn, Huan Lang was appointed by Li Li as the captain of the Xiutu Racecourse because of his repeated military exploits, his own horse training and superb riding skills, and he replaced Meng Chong in charge of the racecourse and trained recruits.A month ago, when Li Lili's army rushed to Chang'an, he also sent Huan Bao to the racecourse as the captain of the right, guarding the racecourse with Huan Lang.

In addition to the shepherds and two thousand cavalry, there are more than 2000 recruits in the racecourse.It's just that these recruits are all young and strong refugees recruited from various counties after the beginning of spring. They have not been trained for a long time, and now they can barely mount a horse to fight, but their combat power is limited.They have not been baptized by the flames of war, and there is a big gap compared with the defenders, which is embarrassing and useful.

Therefore, a total of nearly [-] soldiers and horses were stationed on the Xiutu Wasteland. Although their combat effectiveness was uneven, the number was indeed quite large, and it sounded very imposing.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the stars twinkle.

Under the night, a group of 3 elite iron cavalry suddenly appeared on the edge of the northern wilderness. Their horseshoes were wrapped in cloth, they held a gun in their mouths, and without torches, they marched silently towards Xiutu City under the bright moonlight.

As the general who rode his horse at the forefront stopped suddenly, the [-] iron riders came to an abrupt stop, and they stopped silently on the wasteland three miles away from Xiutu City.

"Brother Shoucheng, there are still many lights in the city. Obviously they are not asleep yet. It seems that we have to wait a while before ordering the attack on the city."

Under the moonlight, the general who had just reined in his horse and stopped was surprisingly General Zhenxi, Jincheng prefect Han Sui Han Wenyue, and the burly general he called Brother Shoucheng was obviously Xiliang prefect Ma Teng Ma Shoucheng.

Ma Teng looked coldly at the faint fire in Xiutu City, and said in a gloomy tone: "Tonight is Li Li's wedding night. People in the city are probably still celebrating Li Li's big wedding, let them go again Live a little longer!"

Han Suiyin smiled and said, "Yes! I think Li Li's son is having a good time in Chang'an City at this time, but he never dreamed that our two brothers would lead an army to attack the Xiutu horse farm at night. Li Li's wedding night , when the Xiutu horse farm was razed to the ground. Brother Shoucheng is brilliant! Hehehe"

ps: It's the end of the month, and Zhonglang shouted desperately: monthly pass, monthly pass, monthly pass, monthly pass... ask for a monthly pass!

Chapter 237

Xiu slaughtered outside the city.

Under the moonlight, Han Sui's presumptuous sly smile drifted away in the wind.

Thirty thousand cavalry stood unabashedly on the wasteland, but the place where Han Sui reined in his horses was well chosen, just in a dark place away from the moonlight.Therefore, the guards on the top of the city could not find this night attacking army with their eyes open.Perhaps half an hour later, with the movement of the moonlight, the army will automatically appear in shape, but by then it will be too late.

Ma Teng and Han Sui had planned for nearly a month in order to successfully attack the Xiutu Racecourse this time.

More than half a month ago, when Li Li's army arrived in Chang'an, Han and Ma began to dispatch their troops. The [-] troops dispersed and marched day and night, sneaking for ten days, and finally arrived at Maple Leaf Canyon at the junction of Anding County and Beidi County. confluence.Immediately, they set up camp in Maple Leaf Canyon and continued to lurk for five days.

On the third day before Li Li's marriage, that is, the same day when Li Li's army and Lu Bu's army fought, the Han and Ma troops set out overnight, bypassing the border of Wuwei County, and heading west all the way until they were thirty miles away from Xiutu City. Lurk down again.They waited quietly, waiting for Li Li's wedding night far away in Chang'an City, when Xiu Tucheng celebrated with great fanfare, they attacked the north gate of Xiu Tu City at night, and smashed down the Xiu Tu horse farm in one fell swoop.

At the same time, when Han Sui and Ma Teng set off, they also sent someone to Li Li with congratulatory gifts filled with five carriages, which together were worth more than two hundred gold.This was Han Sui's idea. He wanted to make Li Li happy and proud.When Li Li was overwhelmed, he and Ma Teng led an army to sweep the Xiutu Racecourse. After Li Li heard the news, he wanted to cry without tears, and tasted the bitter fruit of being overwhelmed.

This is Han Sui's style of conduct.In his life, he laughed three-pointedly at everyone, never hurt others with bad words, and claimed to be an elegant literati.He is gentle, calm and calm, confident and strategic, able to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.But since he met Li Li, his image has been completely ruined. He yelled at Li Li several times in front of the battle, just like cursing a street shrew.

Therefore, Han Sui hated Li Lina to the bone.Gritting his teeth with hatred, he hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past half a year.In addition, he was lucky enough to escape from Li Li's hands before, but was shot in the shoulder by the black barbarian Dian Wei, fell off the horse, and almost died.This section is for Han Sui.It was a shameful humiliation, which made him think about revenge all the time.As long as it makes Li Li uncomfortable.lost heavily.Even if it is a loss-making business, he Han Sui is willing to do it, because he is happy!

Because of this, Han Sui teamed up with Ma Teng to attack the Xiutu Racecourse of the Wuwei Army again this time. His posture was very low, as if he was looking forward to Ma Teng's lead.He and Ma Teng each dispatched [-] light cavalry.Then all the soldiers and horses were handed over to Ma Teng to command, and he actively cooperated on the sidelines.

It can be said that Han Sui's enthusiasm for the night attack on the Xiutu horse farm was unprecedentedly high, and he spared no expense.Don't lose face.As long as he can break through Xiutu City and Xiutu Racecourse, he is willing to put all his eggs in one basket and not hesitate at all.

And Ma Teng did not disappoint Han Sui, he really had two tricks.He sneaked [-] troops to the base of Xiutu City without missing a trace, and did not let the scouts and secret agents of Wuwei Army find out from the beginning to the end.In this regard, although Han Sui was unwilling to admit it, he knew in his heart that he was indeed inferior to Ma Teng in terms of leading troops, and the gap was not small.

In the wilderness, Ma Teng has been watching the flames in Xiutu City with a straight face and concentration, with a serious expression and no smile.But Han Sui always had a sinister smile on his face, squinting his eyes and staring at the distant city with a strange and vicious expression.

"Brother Shoucheng, has the secret work in the city been properly arranged, and the secret work in the city will immediately attack the city gate when we light torches outside the city?" Han Sui seemed to be a little worried about Ma Teng's arrangement, and reconfirmed.

A flash of anger flashed in Ma Teng's eyes when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice without turning his head: "Yes. Right now, there are more than 500 of our spies in Xiutu City. They have sneaked into this city for almost a month, and they have already made preparations. Let me explain in advance. They decided to join forces on the night of Li Li's wedding and attack the North City Gate.

However, the security in Wubao of Xiutu Racecourse is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for secret agents to infiltrate, so there are no secret agents of our army in Wubao.But these have nothing to do with the overall situation, as long as we invade Xiutu City in one fell swoop and occupy the city, the two thousand Qingqi in the Xiutu horse farm are nothing to worry about, and they can be wiped out with a wave of our hands! "

After Han Sui heard the words, he finally felt relieved.Immediately he sighed and said: "I can't see that Li Li has some tricks. I know that the racecourse must not be infiltrated by secret agents, otherwise the tens of thousands of war horses may become dead horses at any time. Li Li is not simple! If he wasn't on the boundary of our Liangzhou, Han really didn't want to be an enemy of him. As the old saying goes, don't bully the old, this boy is a young man with a bright future, but he wants to compete with us for Liangzhou , unexpected!"

Hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Teng agreed with Han Sui's words in his heart even though he was still stern.

Since Li Li took office as the prefect of Wuwei, the counties in Liangzhou have indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.The most obvious change is that there are fewer and fewer refugees in Liangzhou. Most of the refugees flooded into Li Li's four counties at the end of last year. It is said that they have been properly resettled. At least I can have food and clothing, so I won't freeze to death or starve to death on the streets.

Li Li's actions attracted a large number of people to Wuwei County. In just one winter last year, no less than [-] refugees from various counties in Liangzhou entered the counties and counties under Li Li's rule.It is no exaggeration to say that among the twelve counties in Liangzhou, nearly half of the population is concentrated in the four counties under Li Li's rule, and their strength is astonishing.

If Li Li is given a few more years to develop, I am afraid that the whole of Liangzhou will be in his hands sooner or later.Sooner or later, Ma Teng and Han Sui will be destroyed by Li Li. They have no other choice but to surrender or flee to other states and counties.

However, Li Li abandoned his foundation at such a critical time and led the army to Chang'an City thousands of miles away to get married.This move, in the eyes of Ma Teng and Han Sui, was extremely stupid, and they missed the great opportunity to unify Liangzhou in vain, thus giving them an opportunity to reverse the situation in Liangzhou again.

"Eh? Brother Shoucheng, it's almost time. The bright moon is in the sky, and our army can no longer hide its whereabouts. Order to light torches and attack the city!" Just as Ma Teng was thinking, Han Sui suddenly said.

Hearing this, Ma Teng immediately put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, looked up at the moon above his head, and then raised his eyes to look at the figures of the city defenders above Xiutu City.But seeing that the fires in the city gradually fell silent, and the lights were getting dimmer, it was obvious that the herdsmen in the city had turned off their lights to rest at this time.
