At the time of the skirmish at the North Outpost, Liu Chengyou was talking to Murong Yanzhao in his tent. A famous general is a famous general, and it doesn't take long for this new Longqi Fourth Army to be trained by it, although it is not a strong army, but it is also beginning to take shape.

Hearing that Xue Qiong personally escorted supplies to the camp, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised, and at the same time sent someone to receive him, he personally met him in the military tent.

When he went south at the beginning of the day, Liu Chengyou had already met Xue Qiong. This person's official reputation among the people is not good, his personality is irritable, domineering, harsh, greedy for money, and his relatives also have many oppressive and good behaviors.

However, there is one thing to say, even if there are all kinds of shortcomings, under the governance of Xue Qiong, Liaozhou's overall livelihood is safe, and the people are not prosperous, but they can still get by. In this era of continuous wars, for ordinary Qiantou, the days that can be passed have been divided, so under the rule of Liaozhou, it is quite calm.

In the past few years of Xue Qiong's governance, the treasury of Liaozhou has gradually increased, and a lot has been handed over to Jinyang, which is quite popular with Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Chengyou led the army to the south, and the logistics transportation relied on his strength, and such a practical talent was enough for Liu Chengyou to ignore those shortcomings.

Besides, those shortcomings are not a big problem. Compared with those officials and generals who blindly use public fat and private interests, and exploit the people without restraint, this Xue Qiong still has some "bottom line". Therefore, Liu Chengyou's attitude towards Xue Qiong is quite kind.

"Your Highness, the baggage that the lower officials brought this time includes 12 carts of old grain, 3 carts of rice and noodles, 5 carts of clothing and shoes, 3 carts of forage, 2 carts of oil and wax sundries, and more than 10 pigs and sheep...... The wine, due to the military order of His Royal Highness, did not dare to be transported. In the military tent, Xue Qiong personally reported to Liu Chengyou.

The bonus effect of identity is very great, in front of Liu Chengyou, Xue Qiong is not a little arrogant, she has low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and when she speaks, her eyes are not secretly glancing at Liu Chengyou. It's a pity that all I can see is that overly calm face.

After listening to his narration, Liu Chengyou nodded, paused, and said calmly: "There is Lao Xue envoy!" ”

"Don't dare, it's all the lower officials' should do." Xue Qiong hurriedly answered.

"After all, this is the fourth time that the need has been delivered!" Liu Chengyou showed a contemplative look, pondered for a while, and asked, "It's beyond the needs of Jinyang's scheduling, right......?"

"Your Highness is wise." Hearing this, Xue Qiong had a flattering smile on his face, and explained: "This time, it is the lower officials who funded the purchase from the Liaozhou treasury, and they also have the fame and business travel of the state, and donate money to help the army. ”

A trace of fluctuation flashed in his calm eyes, and his judgmental gaze fell on him again, and the cold and measured eyes could easily cause discomfort. Seeing that Xue Qiong was cramped and uneasy, Liu Chengyou said slowly: "Xue Yuanjun, you have a heart." ”

"His Royal Highness led the Hedong Tiger Division to seek the Khitan and save the people from fire and water, and the lower officials should help each other to fund the king!" These righteous and awe-inspiring words, Xue Qiong said them quite smoothly.

Liu Chengyou didn't want to listen to this unnutritious remark. Liu Chengyou also knows in his heart that the fame of Liaozhou who donates money may not be voluntary. Perhaps, Xue Qiong himself also intercepted some of it. However, Liu Chengyou did not mean to delve into this.

After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou said: "Xue Zhijun has worked hard! It was inconvenient in the army, and he rested in the town of Yuting. ”

"Yes!" Xue Qiong was very knowledgeable: "The lower official has retired." ”

However, when he was leaving, his feet did not move, but his face showed a slightly deliberate hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said casually: "What else is the matter with the envoy?" ”

"I don't know who the commander of the Fourth Army of Longqi is?" Xue Qiong asked.

Under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Murong Yanzhao stood up and arched his hand to Xue Qiong: "The last general, Murong Yanzhao." ”

Looking Murong Yanzhao up and down, Xue Qiong chuckled and said, "General Murong has managed the army well, and the officers and soldiers under his command are loyal to their duties, which really makes the officers and soldiers admire." ”

Hearing this, Murong Yanzhao was a little surprised on his face, and praised him, a little unclear, so he should say peacefully: "If you praise the king, you will not dare to be ashamed." ”

Liu Chengyou heard something meaningful, and said: "In Xue Yuanjun's words, there seems to be an off-string sound, just speak directly." ”

Xue Qiong's face changed suddenly, and she shook her body at Liu Chengyou, complained bitterly in a depressed tone, and told the matter of the North Sentinel Inspection.

After listening to his narration, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly, tilted his head and instructed Murong Yanzhao: "Go and check if it is as Xue Envoy said." ”

"Yes!" Murong Yanzhao glanced at Xue Qiong and left as ordered.

And paying attention to Liu Chengyou's expression, there seemed to be a slight stern change, Xue Qiong was slightly happy in her heart, and continued to say indignantly: "Military regulations and military discipline, the subordinate officers can also understand. Outsiders and suspicious people should be well investigated in case of accidents. But the people escorted in the state have to come and go not only once, so why do they need to be interrogated again and again, so it is not too much and deliberately difficult. And when the subordinate officials revealed their identities, Yang Ye and his subordinates were still humiliated, and they also made threatening words......"

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. It's nothing for the lower officials to be wronged, but the needs they carry are related to the military situation and the war. Besides, if Sergeant Longqi is like this, the subordinate is afraid that he will ruin your prestige Your Highness......"

Liu Chengyou silently listened to Xue Qiong pour bitter water, and only when he finished speaking did he come back to his senses. After a slight groan, he raised his hand to appease: "The people below are indeed excessive, and Xue Zhijun has been wronged." In this way, you will temporarily enter Yuting Town to rest, and the lonely investigation will be clear, and you must have an explanation! ”

"Your Highness!" got Liu Chengyou's affirmative reply, and Xue Qiong retired this time very interestingly.

After he retreated, Liu Chengyou blinked his eyes quickly a few times, and said lightly: "I just know that I still have some prestige......"

"His Royal Highness has long been known in Hedong, and he has his own prestige." Zhang Yanwei echoed.

Not long after, Murong Yanzhao returned, saluted, and reported: "Your Highness, the last general will ask Yang Ye to ask, everything is as Xue Tingshi said." ”

"This Yang Dutou is famous, and his courage is indeed not small!" Liu Chengyou's tone was a little playful.

The Fourth Army was "congenitally insufficient", with a strength of only about 500 people, so it directly governed 400 people. And among the four leaders, Yang Ye is the most courageous, and the first leader is also the most powerful. Yang Ye's reputation is already very loud in the Fourth Army.

was a little dismissive of Liu Chengyou's attitude, but Murong Yanzhao couldn't help but defend it: "Your Highness, Yang Ye strictly obeys military orders and is loyal to his duties. On the contrary, it was Xue Thorn History, who was condescending and respectful, and almost broke into the barracks......"

Seeing that Murong Yanzhao's tone was a little anxious, Liu Chengyou waved his hand to stop him, took a breath, turned his head and asked Guo Rong, who was accompanying him: "What do you think about this?" ”

"As Xue Qiong said, if Sergeant Longqi is like this, then ...... The world can be reached! Guo Rong replied affirmatively, unable to hide his approval in his tone.

"What to do with Yang Ye?"

"What about disposal? Yang Ye and his subordinates, Your Highness should be rewarded! Guo Rong followed Liu Chengyou's words and solemnly clenched his fists.

"Then reward!" Liu Chengyou decisively interfaced at a faster speed.

At this time, Zhang Yanwei opened his mouth to remind Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness, you just promised Xue Qiong to give him an explanation." ”

"It's easy to do!" Liu Chengyou said: "You can reward them together." ”

"What does Your Highness plan to reward?" Zhang Yanwei was a little curious.

"Yang Ye and his subordinates, commanded by Murong, prepare some meat and reward me for me!"

After a pause in his tone, Liu Chengyou touched his bare chin and pondered for a while, then looked at Guo Rong: "As for Xue Qiong, you will take a copy of the preliminary Longqi Military Law and send it to him!" ”

Listening to Liu Chengyou's arrangement, the three people in the tent couldn't help but glance at each other, and soon, they showed a little smile.

"Yes!"
