"Brother He"

The person who came was almost thirty-seven or eighteen, and a pair of Danfeng eyes looked quite heroic, this person was obviously familiar with He Duan, and began to greet him from afar.

As soon as He Duan saw him, he was also delighted and said: "Brother Yang Bin, brother, I guessed that it was you, who would dare to be so brave except for you." ”

"Hahaha, come on, let me introduce you, Brother Liu, this is Yang Bin, the guerrilla general under the Hou Du Governor, he is the general under the Du Du. Brother Yang, this is the acquaintance of our governor, Liu Ximing of Shunqing Mansion Liu Xianggong, these people are ......"

Zhang Xianzhong's troops retreated, and he captured so many thieves, He Duan was in a good mood now, and pulled Liu Ximing and Yang Binzai to introduce them carefully.

Hearing that Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates could only be intercepted by the Long Xiang battalion, Yang Bin couldn't help but look at Liu Ximing and Mu Jingnan and the others.

When he saw that these people were only in their teens and twenties, he was even more shocked in his heart.

"Liu Xianggong, is what He Guerrilla said true? This thief was really dragged out by you with your people? ”

Yang Bin's eyesight is also good, and he can see at a glance that Liu Ximing is the leader of the Longxiang Battalion, and he feels a little incredible when he hears that He Duan has put so much effort into supporting Liu Ximing.

Liu Ximing gave He Duan a grateful look, "Hahaha, where did you say this, is it my family's work, and He Guerrilla has also contributed to this." ”

"I don't know when Hou Dudu will arrive, so let's go and pay a visit."

Yang Bin smacked his mouth a few times, Liu Ximing actually admitted that he was the main force to intercept Zhang Xianzhong, which made him feel a little incredible.

When did the local guard soldiers have such ability?

"It should be soon, the governor ordered me to explore the road first, and the army is not far behind."

Yang Bin looked at Yu Yongkai, who was dressed as an officer of a hundred households, with some envy, "I can intercept most of the thieves today, and I think that the governor will repay you for your merits, brother, I will congratulate you in advance." ”

Liu Ximing was dressed as a soldier, so naturally he would not want to take the military attache route, he said this specifically to Yongkai.

"Hahaha", everyone in the Long Xiang camp laughed.

"It's a pity that I got rid of Zhang Xianzhong, otherwise this time it would be a great achievement." , He Duan said with some regret.

Liu Ximing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Be content, Zhang Thief has not been caught going back and forth in the Central Plains for so long, and we like a little bit of people want to make such a great contribution, I'm afraid it's a bit self-defeating." ”

After almost half an hour, Hou Liangzhu's army finally showed its figure on the official road in the east of Pengzhou City.

He Duan and the others followed Liu Xi's order and others to hurry up and go to meet them.

Hou Liangzhu rode a yellow horse, dressed in golden chain mail and a phoenix-winged helmet, and when he saw Liu Ximing and others coming, he immediately got off the horse

Turn over and down.

"Students (lowly) visit the governor"

"Hahaha, nephew Liu Xian, the last time I was in Chongqing, this town knew that you were not a thing in the pool, and today I saw it really extraordinary."

may be because Liu Ximing sent people to give gifts and filial piety every once in a while, Hou Liangzhu was quite enthusiastic about Liu Ximing, and when he saw him bowing down, he immediately held him up and smiled.

Liu Ximing smiled suddenly, "Thanks to the promotion of the general town, this is all due to the soldiers' lives, and I hope that the general town will not hesitate to reward." ”

Hou Liangzhu's face was full of smiles, and the battle of Pengzhou defeated at least half of Zhang Xianzhong's troops, which was already a rare victory for a place like Sichuan.

At this time, he was in a good mood, and when he heard Liu Ximing say this, Hou Liangzhu smiled and looked at He Duan, Yu Yongkai and others who were looking at him.

"You can rest assured that this matter will ask for a reward from the Ministry of War."

"Thanksgiving Reward"

"How is the whereabouts of the thief?"

After expressing his stance on the reward, Hou Liangzhu immediately asked him what he was most concerned about.

Yang Bin immediately clenched his fists and stepped out, "The subordinates have sent people to follow the investigation, and Zhang Thief took more than 10,000 people and horses in the direction of Shunqing." ”

"What? Shunqing has no garrison now, how to stop the thieves? Hou Liangzhu was shocked, "Where is He Duan?" ”

He Duan responded, "The end will be." ”

Hou Liangzhu's face was solemn, "You lead the way, the army will rush to Shunqing immediately, if Shunqing is lost, the town will ask you." ”

He Duan's neck shrunk, and his face was full of bitterness.

Seeing this, Liu Ximing immediately stepped forward and said: "The governor doesn't have to be so anxious, there are still dozens of miles to Shunqing, and the thief can't come in a hurry." ”

"Besides, if you go to Shunqing, you have to cross the river first, the students are not talented, there are dozens of fleets, and each boat is equipped with cannons, as long as it blocks the river, the thieves will not be able to break the city."

Hou Liangzhu's face slowed, and he looked at Liu Ximing and nodded slowly: "This is very good, virtuous nephew, you will let people anchor immediately, and be sure to intercept it when the thieves arrive, otherwise the crime of losing the palace is that the official cannot afford it." ”

"Yes, don't worry, the students will arrange it", Liu Ximing saw that Hou Liangzhu was so solemn, and hurriedly agreed to give Mu Jingnan a few words.

When Mu Jingnan left with his fists clenched, Hou Liangzhu was relieved, and he had the kung fu to care about the Pengzhou battlefield.

"What are the results of today's battle?"

He Duan glanced at Liu Ximing and motioned for him to come and report.

Liu Xi's life was not postponed, and he directly stepped forward to report: "Back to the capital, a total of 4,173 enemies were killed in this battle, and more than 13,000 thieves were captured. ”

"Good", Hou Liangzhu's eyes lit up, "With such a result, this official can also repay the merits to the imperial court." ”

He looked at Yu Yongkai with a smile, turned his head and said to Liu Ximing

"Such a great achievement, if it is a wandering official, the hundred household officials under you will have to be promoted to a few levels, if it is a guard, I am afraid that it will be the end of a thousand households, it is better to let him go to the town to listen to how to use it, and he will not miss his future." ”

Liu Ximing's face was like dirt, and his head shook like a broken wave.

"Why should the governor joke with the students, the students' lives are in Shunqing, so they are counting on Yongkai and them to help one or two, if they follow the governor, it is naturally much more convenient to make meritorious contributions, but if there is something in Shunqing, the students will have no help, and please ask the governor to investigate."

What are you kidding, Lao Hou has taken a fancy to his own Longxiang camp.

Liu Ximing's heart is like a mirror child, the military system of this dynasty is a guard station, and the second is recruitment.

The guard has to defend the territory, and the highest is to the level of a thousand households, as for those high-ranking officials such as commanders and envoys, they have always been hereditary, so don't count on Yu Yongkai.

Therefore, if Yu Yongkai wants to be promoted, he can only take the route of the liuguan, but the liuguan is not that he can't be stationed somewhere, it all depends on whether you can make the money in place.

The last time Yu Yongkai was promoted to 100 households, it was Liu Jianhou's efforts, but Liu Ximing didn't spend less money, at least the line of the military department can still find someone to collect money, and then find a relationship through Liu Jianhou's way, Yu Yongkai's affairs may not be able to be done.

"Hahaha", Hou Liangzhu laughed loudly, but he was not annoyed when he heard Liu Ximing's refusal, but just smiled: "Then if this document for retribution is handed over, the official will not be able to guarantee his future." ”

"Xie Dudu appreciates that the students still have some connections in the military department, and they will find someone to talk to when the time comes."

Hou Liangzhu paused for a moment, and looked at Liu Ximing's eyes a lot softer, the Liu family still has some background.

Seeing that Yu Yongkai's matter was settled, Liu Ximing thought of the many prisoners on the battlefield, and hesitated to ask Hou Liangzhu.

"Dare to ask the governor, I don't know what to do with these more than 10,000 captives? The students once visited the camp and found that there were many old and weak women and children, all of whom were coerced by thieves. ”

Hou Liangzhu's expression was also a little embarrassed, "They are all children of Sichuan, if they are all killed, I am afraid that the reputation of this governor will also be ruined in Sichuan, I am afraid that I can only get rid of the first evil first, and the rest of the people will be returned to the place for custody, whether they live or die depends on the destiny of heaven." ”

Liu Ximing's heart moved, and he keenly smelled the operation space in it.

"Governor, God has the virtue of a good life, not to mention that these are all my fathers and villagers in Sichuan, and now the state capital is dilapidated, and I am afraid that the local government will not be able to take out the money to resettle."

Hou Liangzhu looked at Liu Ximing thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, "What you said is true, but there is also a shortage of food in our army, but we can't afford to support them." ”

"It is enough for the governor to have this benevolence", Liu Ximing arched his hand with a smile on his face, "The army is the important weapon of the country, how can it be moved lightly, the students are not talented, and they are willing to give 5,000 stone of food to the governor, just to make this generation live." ”
