Stepping out of the second hall, the night was already dark, and the breeze was blowing, blowing the bamboo and wood in front of the court to make a "rustling" sound. It is more quiet in front of the court. Glancing at the guards in the corridor, Gao Fang exhaled a breath of turbidity, and couldn't help but look back, the yellow light in the hall was still the same, and Liu Chengyou could be vaguely seen sitting on the desk through the window.

Thinking of the conversation between Fang Cai and Liu Chengyou, it was inevitable that some complicated emotions would arise in his heart, and he quickly stabilized his mind, his eyes became clear, and his face was a little lighter.

It is true that Hedong soldiers are strong and strong, Liu Zhiyuan has long been famous, and now it seems that the second prince of the new dynasty is also a dragon and phoenix among people. Looking at things by people, it is very possible for Hedong to achieve the royal industry!

As his mind turned, a heavy footstep accompanied by the sound of scale armor rubbing sounded in his ears, and he turned his head to see Li Wanchao walking towards under the guidance of a guard. Subconsciously glanced at the hall, Gao Fang was slightly surprised, but he guessed.

Li Wanchao also saw Gao Fang for the first time, didn't think much about it, and stepped forward and saluted: "High judge." ”

"General Lee." Gao Fang showed a gentle smile at Li Wanchao and said softly: "It seems that you are also Your Highness, please have a request." ”

The two exchanged two sentences briefly, and Li Wanchao was urged by the guards to enter to meet him.

"I've heard of the general's name. As a teenager in the army, he was resolute and vigorous, and he made meritorious contributions to the military academy. begging Yang Guangyuan, he took the lead, bravely climbed the city, hit his head with a flying stone, and almost died; In the battle of Yangcheng, the stray arrows pierced the palms, and the arrows were drawn and fought, with a calm expression. General, what a brave general! ”

Seeing Liu Chengyou, as soon as he came up, he heard Liu Chengyou's words of appreciation, and Li Wanchao sat there and was a little stunned for a while. However, he didn't think much about it, and what Liu Chengyou said, even more proud, showed a little reminiscence on his face, and said with a smile: "It's all old things." ”

Li Wanchao is now in his forties, although he has passed the peak age of a military general, but he has a fierce smell of plagiarism. He grew up from the bottom with a knife and a gun, relying on blood to fight bravely.

His growth is almost accompanied by the turbulent development of the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms", and he can represent most of the military generals of this era.

"Don't be humble generals, you can be assisted by a loyal and brave person like you, chase the Khitan together, and Kuang Fu Sheji, which is the blessing of Hedong and the blessing of the world!" Liu Chengyou's voice was very soft, but his words were dull.

Li Wanchao should still be self-aware, and he was a little embarrassed to be praised, but he was not praised so highly, and he felt something, raised his hand and solemnly said to Liu Chengyou: "The last general, only with this body, I will do my best to serve the country." ”

After saying some compliments to Li Wanchao, Liu Chengyou was silent, pondered for a moment, and then looked at him: "I think the general is also curious, what do I call you for." ”

Li Wanchao nodded very dryly and asked honestly: "Yes!" ”

Taking a breath gently, Liu Chengyou's back suddenly stiffened, his expression became cold, and his eyes glowed with the yellow candlelight, and he said, "Someone suggested to me that Wang Shouen be the handsome of Luzhou." However, I have been given a detailed report on the righteousness. The recovery of Luzhou is all due to the general's contributions. Wang Shouen is greedy, I want to kill him, take the general as the moderation, calm Luzhou, what do you think? ”

After speaking, Liu Chengyou stared at Li Wanchao tightly.

Li Wanchao was obviously surprised, but he quickly reacted, shook his head again and again, and replied very affirmatively: "Your Highness, you must not have such intentions?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou's body slowly relaxed again, and asked, "Why?" ”

Without thinking, Li Wanchao hugged his fists and said: "The last general raised righteousness and killed Zhao Xingqian and the Khitan envoys, which was in response to the call and ambition of the Son of Heaven to fight against the Khitan and reorganize the society, not for his own selfish interests. Wang Shouen is greedy, although he is shameless, but he is a hero after all. His Royal Highness is like killing a hero, and replacing him with the last general, I am afraid that everyone will be chilled! ”

Liu Chengyou carefully observed Li Wanchao's expression, his face was simple, his feelings were sincere, and he should have said it from his heart.

Blinking, Liu Chengyou continued to speak, with temptation in his words: "The general has to think about it, this is the position of a town." ”

It's a pity that Li Wanchao still shook his head very simply: "The last general has neither the prestige to convince the public, nor the literary talent to govern the government, just a rough man, who will only lead troops to fight and kill the enemy." Even if you are in moderation, you are afraid that you will mislead the government and harm the people......"

After listening to Li Wanchao's words, Liu Chengyou inevitably felt some emotion in his heart, he is also a martial artist, but it is really rare to be as reasonable and righteous as this person. Liu Chengyou didn't know what this person's ability to lead troops to fight was, but he couldn't help but feel good about what he said.

In history, there were many famous generals during the "Five Dynasties" period, but Li Wanchao was not very famous among them, and Liu Chengyou had never even heard of this person. However, as far as he could see, this was a general who could be entrusted with important tasks.

"General, what a hero!" Solemnly arching his hand towards Li Wanchao, Liu Chengyou boasted, this time, there was a little more emotion.

Without waiting for him to answer, Liu Chengyou stood up and said: "I want to go to Jinyang, take the general as the commander of Su Rui, lead the Su Rui sergeants, and fight with our army, what does the general think?" ”

Hearing this, Li Wanchao did not hesitate at all: "I wish to obey His Highness's orders!" ”

In Liu Chengyou's impression, this era is the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, loyalty is unreliable, and deviation is always there. However, the performance of Gao Fang and Li Wanchao made Liu Chengyou have a little more confidence in this era, and there is still some positive energy in this world.

After the reception at night, it was basically determined that both Gao Fang and Li Wanchao could be used, and with the assistance of these two, it was basically impossible for Luzhou to have any major accidents.

The army in Luzhou is not very strong, with a total of only more than 3,000 people. In addition to the more than 1,000 soldiers in the Surui battalion, it was the Jiedu town soldiers, who had been under the command of Wang Shouen before, and now, Liu Chengyou intended to replace Gao Fang.

Liu Chengyou's consideration is also very simple and direct, and if he controls the army in Luzhou, then the rest are not a problem.

As for Wang Shouen, even if he is called Zhaoyi, he still has to stand aside.

......

The next day, the state city changed a new atmosphere, it seemed that there was less repression before, and the soldiers and civilians in the city basically knew that Luzhou had changed masters, and they were the people under the rule of the new dynasty. In this regard, most people expressed their support, at least they no longer had to bear the harsh exploitation of the Khitan government, even if they were far from understanding the suffering suffered by the people of the Central Plains.

However, under Liu Chengyou's strict order, the entire Shangdang was still under martial law and was not allowed to enter or leave.

In the morning, Han Tong led the cavalry back, and was directly welcomed into the city, showing Liu Chengyou the military information.

And Han Tongnan went south for more than a day and night, obviously gained something, and brought back the news that the Khitan Geng Chong American army was admired.
