On the side of Luancheng, with Liu Chengyou's continuous efforts to invite people's hearts, the atmosphere in the camp was much more harmonious, and the morale of the army and the people gradually calmed down.

The expansion of the Longqi Army is progressing very smoothly, in addition to the effective handling of the generals under his command, and the willingness of the Jin army to reorganize, the treatment and reward are also very important, and the soldiers of this era are not difficult to buy.

And with the absorption and digestion of those Jin army soldiers, the hidden danger of too many Yan soldiers also immediately decreased a lot, and it was obvious that it could be felt that some Yan soldiers had stopped a lot.

Through the eyeliner bought by the Yan soldiers, Liu Chengyou heard that before the expansion and rectification of the army, many of the generals and colonels of the Yan army were interested in making money, and they had secretly agitated for chaos, but Liu Chengyou was very well guarded and never gave them a chance. If the Jin soldiers are completely surrendered, there will be no chance!

By the way, Liu Chengyou organized people to clean up the corpses all over the banks of the Huanshui River, and it was too laborious to bury them, so they were burned directly. The weather was already very hot, so we had to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic.

The surrounding camp was heavily fortified, and at the mouth of the spacious military tent, a middle-aged scribe looked out cautiously with his hands behind his back, slightly bent over. Looking at the sergeant patrolling by regularly, he couldn't help but raise his hand to carry the dense mustache on his lips, and sighed: "This Hedong military horse is really strong, with such a strong army, this world should be obtained by the Liu family!" ”

The middle-aged scribe was thin and thin, with a Confucian aura on his body, and looking at his eyebrows, his mood seemed to be a little anxious at this time. His name is Tao Gu, and he is a scholar in the middle of the official residence in the Later Jin Dynasty, and he has also served in the ministry before, but his career is not too satisfactory. In the midst of the chaos, he was not bad luck, survived, settled with a group of Jin ministers, changed into clean clothes, and had no more embarrassment that day.

"This Liu family, at a young age, can be regarded as a mighty and heroic, with only 8,000 people, he defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops. Since ancient times, those who can do this are very bold and bold people, and this son is extraordinary! Tao Gu turned around and paced a few steps in the tent, amazed.

In the past two days, the situation of the battle of Luancheng has spread among the military and civilians, and under the secret push, it has spread rapidly. These Jin ministers have naturally heard of it, and literati are always used to commenting on current affairs.

There were still three or four people in the tent, all of whom were courtiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, and they were a little idle left and right, so they echoed Tao Gu and discussed one or two.

"It's just—" Tao Gu sighed, swept his eyes, paused, swallowed some of the unpleasant words that poured into his throat, and said another way: "I'm also an important minister of the court, and it's been two days, and we won't meet one or two, so we will be hung here......"

Hearing Tao Gu's words, an official answered: "I heard that Duke Feng and Duke Li are quite courteous to the second prince!" ”

"Hehe......" Tao Gu pursed his lips and covered up a little embarrassment with self-deprecation: "It seems that it is reasonable for me to be inferior and unvalued." ”

In the tone, there is a bit of pantothenic acid.

As soon as the words fell, there was a movement outside, the sound of the rubbing of the scale armor was very clear, and an officer walked in and arched his hand casually: "Which one is Tao Gu, Tao She?" ”

At first glance, the visitor is a martial artist, a junior officer, a bit horizontal, not very polite, and his eyes are sloppy. Seeing this, several people in the tent subconsciously looked at Tao Gu.

Looking at the fierce face of the officer, Tao Gu also felt a sigh in his heart, but his psychological quality was good, so he quickly adjusted, and asked cautiously: "The lower official is Tao Gu, I don't know the general, what is the matter with me?" ”

The officer's eyes widened, he looked around Tao Gu, and greeted directly: "Your Highness summoned, then follow me!" ”

"Huh?" Tao Gu was slightly startled and was about to ask a question, but the officer didn't give him this opportunity, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Tao Gu came back to his senses, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, he quickly straightened his robe, straightened his head, and quickly followed with small steps.

On the way, a piece of jade was carefully handed over, and Tao Gu inquired about the identity of the officer, Liu Chengyou's personal captain.

After some flattering praise, Tao Gu cautiously asked tentatively: "Your lower official position is low, I don't know His Royal Highness, how do you know about me?" ”

The captain didn't take it seriously, and replied directly: "It seems that it was recommended by the former prime minister named Li Song!" ”

Hearing this, Tao Gu completely relaxed, and silently praised Li Song in his heart. In fact, Li Song has always been Tao Gu's benefactor in his career, and he was discovered by Li Song in the Later Jin Dynasty before.

......

"Your Highness, this is the list of officers above the head of each army after the adjustment of the whole training!" In the Chinese military tent, Zhang Yanwei and Guo Rong, the two current first- and second-in-command of the Longqi Army, jointly reported to Liu Chengyou.

After taking over the list book, Liu Chengyou directly skipped the generals above the army level, those who were basically directly appointed by him, there was nothing to look forward to, and the focus was on the officers at the battalion and capital levels, and the construction of officers at this level was particularly important.

After Guo Rong's narration, Liu Chengyou gradually knew in his heart. In the first battle of Luancheng, there were too many casualties among middle and lower-level officers, and they were basically promoted according to military merits.

In addition, there are some officers of the Jin Army who have been retained after being promoted briefly, which is also a measure to appease the morale of the army, after all, it is necessary to pay attention to eating and maintaining harmony and stability.

Liu Chengyou paid special attention to Yang Ye's name, the commander of the left battalion of the Ma Army. With so many captured war horses, it is simply a shame not to expand the size of the cavalry. However, there were many people in the army who could ride horses, but there were too few who could ride and fight, so they bothered to pick them up, and only formed a horse army of 2,000 horses, divided into four battalions on the left and right, front and rear.

And Yang Ye, with his accumulated military exploits in this short period of time, coupled with the opportunity of this army expansion, finally made a breakthrough and became a middle-level officer. The speed of the upgrade is really not slow, and Liu Chengyou, who is rumored in the army, does not attract too many jealous eyes except for his special attention.

Because, there are people who have risen faster than him, such as Yang Ye's Shangguan Han Tong, such as Guo Rong, who was standing in front of Liu Chengyou at this time, and Murong Yanzhao, who had become the commander of the right wing of the Longqi Army. These three are either rich enough in their resumes, or their backgrounds are destined to have a high starting point, but they all have one thing in common, their ability is enough.

"This Li Yun?" Seeing that there was a pending note behind Li Yun's name, Liu Chengyou looked at the two of them with some confusion.

This time, Zhang Yanwei took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, about Li Yun, the last general thinks that a new general can be appointed to command a battalion." However, Guo Yuhou believes that he should be given the post of an army. ”

Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong, Guo Rong showed a kind of sharpness in his expression, and said: "The last general thinks that the Jin soldiers are newly incorporated into our army, and they are promoted and demoted, but there is no one above the command level of the army. Even if it is difficult to achieve absolute fairness, it is necessary to be as convincing as possible. ”

"Li Yun is a person who has served in the Tang and Jin dynasties, has a very rich resume in the forbidden army, and is good at riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting. Your Highness may wish to take this as a typical example, treat him with kindness, and show his sincerity. What's more, His Royal Highness sent him to appease the Jin pawn, and he also made a meritorious contribution to the Jin pawn's service! ”

After listening to Guo Rong's explanation, Liu Chengyou pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "Li Yun is good at riding and shooting, so he will take him as the Marquis of Ma Jun and partner with Han Tong!" ”

Hearing this, Guo Rong also thought about it for a while, and then praised him: "Your Highness is wise." ”

Seeing that Liu Chengyou accepted Guo Rong's opinion again and denied his own ideas, Zhang Yanwei was a little embarrassed beside him, his face changed, and he slowly lowered his eyelids. Yu Guang swept back and forth between Liu Chengyou and Guo Rong, and sighed silently in his heart, in this army, it is really the world of young people.

Picked up the pen, signed the instructions on the list, and by the way, opened the seal box on the Shuai case, took out his Dutong seal, covered it, picked it up and blew it, and ordered an official next to him to hand it to Zhang Yanwei, instructing: "Just follow this list, Lone has no opinion." ”

After a slight groan, his eyes flashed, and Liu Chengyou added: "The above officers, I want to meet them in person!" ”

This made Guo Rong stunned, stared at his brows and thought for a while, as if he had gained something, and saluted respectfully: "Yes." And then I will arrange it. ”

"There is one more thing that needs to be reported to His Highness!" Before stepping back, Guo Rong said again.

"What?"

"Fang Cai, Li Chongju, Li Command, Fang Cai, the ...... of the last general," Guo Rong said.

Liu Chengyou was suddenly, as if there was an accident, and as if expected, Li Chongju didn't seem to have forgotten his casual mention that night.

Touching his chin, which had been cleaned very smooth, Liu Chengyou asked a little curiously, "How did you deal with it?" ”

"The last general will have a comprehensive merit and a rod of twenty. Wait for His Highness's confirmation, and you can execute it! Guo Rong calmly asked Liu Chengyou for instructions.

After all, Li Chongju is Liu Chengyou's guard officer, and Guo Rong seems to be quite measured.

"Accurate!" Liu Chengyou expressed his position directly.

After Guo Rong retreated, Liu Chengyou lowered his head again and studied the map, stared at Zhending, and was stunned for a while, before asking the clerk beside him: "Mr. Wei, what choice will you make next and how will you act next to the Liao army?" ”

Mr. Wei, referring to Wei Renpu. Xiang Xun was sent by Liu Chengyou to command the troops, and he needed a staff officer around him, and when he met Feng Dao and Li Song a few times ago, Liu Chengyou asked. Feng Dao recommended Wei Renpu, and Li Song recommended Tao Gu.

Wei Renpu, when gathering the people to join the army, left a good impression on Liu Chengyou, and in the exchange, he also felt the extraordinaryness of this person, no matter what Liu Chengyou said or asked, he could always answer fluently, and put forward his own opinions. With a good impression, Liu Chengyou directly accepted him as a shogunate and awarded him the post of joining the army.

Wei Renpu was sorting out some documents on the side, and when he heard it, he stopped his movements and replied: "If the Liao army is calm enough, it will withdraw from our China as soon as possible!" ”

"Why?"

I thought that Wei Renpu conducted an in-depth analysis of the situation in the Central Plains and Hebei and the situation of the two armies, but Wei Renpu replied very simply: "The Liao lord collapsed in Luancheng, how can there be no master in the country, but focus on the national war." ”

Liu Chengyou understood, nodded, and said with playfulness in his tone: "Before, I still had some worries that the really determined Liao army would come to the south regardless of everything. Now, I hope it will come south! ”

"Your Highness, the Khitan still has a lot of troops in various states, if you want to try your best to weaken its strength, you can focus on this part of the enemy army!" Wei Renpu took the initiative to propose.

"Lonely, that's exactly what I mean!" Liu Chengyou replied.

During the conversation, someone in front of the tent reported: "Tao Gu has brought it!" ”

"Please!"

To Tao Gu, Liu Chengyou finally evoked the vague memory in his mind, isn't this gentleman the one who took the initiative to write a good Zen edict to dedicate to Zhao Da's "Chenqiao Mutiny" when Zhao Kuangyin usurped Zhou.

Summoned Tao Gu, in front of Liu Chengyou, this person behaved very cautiously, except for being too deferential, there was nothing particularly uncomfortable.

Wei Renpu accompanied him and chatted with him casually, Liu Chengyou gave Tao Gu a task: "I heard Li Gong say that Tao She is well-versed in scripture and history, good at writing articles, and brilliant in writing. ”

"Li Gongbai praised!" was praised, Tao Gu pretended to be modest, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, clearly with a little pride.

"Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, China has been deeply suppressed by the Khitan. Lone was ordered by the Son of Heaven to unify all the armies of Hebei to resist Liao. The battle of Luancheng and the courage of the soldiers were a rare victory in decades, which greatly boosted morale and should be well publicized. Lonely wants to ask the Taoshe people to make an article, spread the view of Hebei, summon the soldiers and civilians of the states, and kill Hulu! ”

Liu Chengyou made a request, but he didn't expect Tao Gu to refuse, but he didn't expect that he asked for pen and paper, and after only a little brewing, he put down the pen and swayed the words in front of Liu Chengyou, almost overnight.

Tao Gu still has a good pen.
