"From today on, all members of the Longqi Army will cancel all rest periods, and all those who have left the camp will be recalled!"
"Instruct all camps, capitals, teams, and fire officers and soldiers that starting from this moment, the entire army will be under martial law. Each camp will respond to its personnel, regardless of combat assistance, and entry and exit will be restricted. Everyone will perform their duties. Violators will be punished according to military law!"
"..."
Accompanied by Ma Quanyi and two other army commanders, Liu Chengyou personally inspected several camps. Standing on the high base of the camp and looking down at the entire camp, Liu Chengyou spoke to the people following him in an unquestionable tone. These generals gave instructions. They spoke so fast that they didn't know if the three of them heard everything, but simply responded with their hands.
"In addition, although military discipline has been improved, I observe that the lieutenants and officers in the army are still slack and slack after training. We have to find some fun for them to relieve the boredom of the military camp!" After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou added.
After Liu Chengyou finished speaking, the eyes of the commander of the Second Army of Longqi on the left suddenly lit up and he responded immediately. However, this man obviously had a wrong idea, but his rough face showed some wretchedness, and he said: "Military Commander, I heard that some prostitutes were summoned in the prison army not long ago. Do we want to..."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little chill in his body. He raised his eyes to meet Liu Chengyou's cold eyes, and swallowed back the second half of his sentence. He stared at the commander indifferently, feeling helpless in his heart. With the quality of such officers, they can be commanded to fight and kill people, but we really cannot have higher expectations for them.
It wasn't until he saw that the rough man had nowhere to put his hands that Liu Chengyou withdrew his gaze, looked far away, and said lightly: "I found some scholars in Jinyang who came from the Central Plains, Hebei and Hedong in exile, and asked them to enter the military camp and give them to the soldiers. Tell me a story..."
"Tell a story?" The three commanders around him were stunned.
"say what?"
"Tell me about the brutal behavior of the Khitans, tell me about the pain and devastation that the people of the Central Plains are suffering, tell me about your righteousness and integrity... there are too many things you can talk about." Liu Chengyou said calmly, his face seemed to be filled with a sense of joy. Stocks are heavy.
After giving the instructions, Liu Chengyou took a few breaths of spring breath, and his expression returned to normal. A guard suddenly ran to the base to report. Liu Zhiyuan sent someone to summon him back to Jinyang quickly. After hearing the report, Liu Chengyou immediately went to the military tent. And go.
Ma Quanyi followed, but was greeted by two other military envoys to slow down. The commander who had just spoken to Liu Chengyou asked: "Brother Quanyi, you have always been close to the military leader. Do you know what he meant just now? Looking for those useless scholars." A scholar comes to tell stories to the brothers? What’s the use?”
"Exactly!" Another military commander echoed from the side: "I thought that the military leader was considerate and wanted to find some fun for the brothers, but it turned out to be like this!"
Hearing what the two said, Ma Quanyi stopped, looked at them, and said lightly: "You still don't know the temper of the military leader after so long? I will do whatever he orders, is there any discussion? Is there any room for that?”
"This..." Ma Quanyi choked, and the two conductors looked a little ugly.
Noticing the changes in the expressions of the two men, Ma Quanyi continued to say to the man in front of him in a cold voice: "I can't guess what the military commander is thinking. But I admire Commander Sun's courage very much. The military commander has ordered the entire army to be under martial law. Do you still have the heart to think about that shameful thing, do you really want to die?"
After saying that, Ma Quanyi left the two of them and followed Liu Chengyou's footsteps.
"This kid is so arrogant! Look, it won't be long before he's going to be on top of you and me!" Commander Sun snorted.
"You are lucky, you are appreciated by nobles, you are young, and you are deeply trusted by your military commander. How can veterans like you and me compare with you?" Another commander muttered, his tone was very sour.
These two army commanders are both old men in the army with seniority. They climbed to the position of commanders by virtue of their bravery. Previously, they were relatively polite to Liu Chengyou, and in order to appease the old soldiers, Liu Chengyou did not treat such old soldiers. "Shen Mian" was eliminated and he was left in the position of commander.
However, these days, with the spread of "meritism" in the military and the accumulation of old and new conflicts, the two have repeatedly complained.
"Hmph!" Commander Sun's brows were full of defiance: "We have followed the King of Peking for many years and have fought hard with one sword after another. Look, when we go to the battlefield and fight to kill the enemy, we still have to rely on old people like you and me! What can those children accomplish?"
"Brother Sun, that boy Ma Quanyi seems to be quite ferocious..."
...
The person Liu Zhiyuan sent to deliver the message was a young man named Guo Yunming, who was always serving Liu Zhiyuan as a tooth general. He had a relatively delicate appearance and an endearing cleverness in his eyes. He had always been very popular.
Wandering back and forth in the military tent, laughing and chatting with Zhang Yanwei, his expression was full of arrogance. He only held a few silver ingots in his arms, and looked at Zhang Yanwei in a very kind-hearted way. But he secretly despised him in his heart, a dignified military capital. Marquis Yu, you are so stingy...
When Liu Chengyou entered, Guo Yunming naturally showed a picture of "arrogant at the front and respectful at the back". He had always regarded himself as a servant of the Liu family. When he saw Liu Chengyou, he lowered his eyebrows and pouted his buttocks and came forward to salute.
Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Yunming, and his cold eyes made him a little frightened. Every time he saw this person, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel a violent murderous intention in his heart. You know, according to the normal historical process, "Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty" Liu Chengyou was eventually killed by his favorite, Guo Yunming.
"Lang...Lang Jun." Under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Guo Yun visibly flinched and called out with a trembling voice.
After all, he did not have the power to take over life and death, and he had no reason to kill without reason, let alone Liu Zhiyuan's lucky minister. Quickly calming down the murderous intention in his heart, Liu Chengyou looked away and asked softly: "What did father call me for?"
Guo Yunming immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could calm down his accelerated heartbeat, he humbly replied: "Hui Langjun, it is Wang Jun who has returned from Bianliang and brought back the situation of the Khitan people and the Central Plains. The king has urgently summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter."
"The camp will be handed over to General Zhang! The scholars I invited will take good care of it for me!"
After listening to Guo Yunming's answer, Liu Chengyou said something to Zhang Yanwei, turned around and greeted his guards to leave the camp: "Go back to Jinyang!"
Longqi Military Camp was not far from Jinyang, so he spared no effort and galloped, and it took him less than half an hour to return to Jinyang. When he arrived at the lobby of the palace, there were many civil and military officials in the city, and a meeting had already begun.
A thin figure stood humbly in the hall under the eyes of everyone. Liu Chengyou recognized it at a glance. That was Wang Jun who was on an envoy to Bianliang.
After bowing to Liu Zhiyuan from a distance in the hall, Liu Chengyou quietly walked in, sat down in his seat silently, and pricked up his ears.
Liu Zhiyuan only glanced at Liu Chengyou, and then withdrew his gaze. He held a wooden cane in his hand, played with it for a while, placed it casually on the table, and looked at Wang Jun: "Is this a gift from the Khitan Lord to the orphan?"
