Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Renyu who was receiving congratulations with a smile, and sighed in his heart that he finally had a wise and brave general under his command who could be used as a confidant, so he didn't have to be like Zhang Mengjing, no one was available, and he couldn't restrain Wu Zimian, and finally got a hateful death.

And when the people in the big tent were still congratulating Liu Renyu, the staff sent by Hong Chengchou earlier came back.

When Hong Chengchou saw that the staff member had returned, he asked, "Where is Zhenbei Fort?" How did this happen? ”

"If you go back to the military gate, the north fort of that town is a military fort that was added and repaired when the temple master was there, and it has been abandoned by the time of the Xi temple master." The staff member replied.

"I see!" Hong Chengchou first nodded, signaling that he knew, and then he said to Liu Renyu: "Zhenbei Fort has been abandoned, you have restored it as before, and I don't can't understand that you want to recommend the guard military attaché, so I agreed to the matter of He Ergou taking over as the defense military attache of Zhenbei Fort, but I still have to report to Yang Zhishuai to know." ”

"On behalf of He Ergou, I thanked the military gate for the grace of love." Liu Renyu bowed and thanked him.

"That's it, this is the case, you will first take your subordinates, and the displaced people of Zhao'an will return to Jingbian Fort, and then the meritorious soldiers who will go on this expedition, you discuss it with General Liu, and write a meritorious document to read."

"Yes, Junmen."

"Well, at the moment, the scourge of the thieves in my Yansui is only slightly subsided, Wang Jiayin may come back at any time, and the thieves in Ningxia and Weinan may invade my Yansui at any time, you still need to be strong after you go back, always on standby, if there is a summons, you should quickly lead the troops to the battle, there must be no mistake."

"Yes, the military gate, the lowly post has been recorded, but the lowly post has a suggestion, and I ask the military gate to give it up."

"Speak!"

"Yes, Junmen. The lowly office is very close to Yan'an Mansion, if there are thieves who invade the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Mansion, the lowly hope can not come to Yulin, and go directly south to ask for thieves. ”

"Sending troops directly from Jingbian Fort is also a good way to send troops directly from Jingbian Fort, and the grain route is short, so I will naturally allow it." Hong Chengchou nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for the military permission."

"Well, it's already here, and I don't have anything to say, you and General Liu will go down first, remember to write a report as soon as possible." Hong Chengchou commanded.

"Yes, Junmen, the lowly post (the last general) has been recorded, and the lowly post (the last general) has retired." After Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo finished speaking, they each withdrew from the big tent.

On the way back to the camp, Liu Renyu discussed with Liu Wuguo as he walked: "Brother, this time I went south to suppress the thieves, how do you think this credit will be distributed?" ”

"Needless to say! The virtuous brother is in the middle of the dispatch and contributes a lot, so he naturally deserves the first credit. Liu Wuguo replied.

"My brother's contribution may not be less than mine, and my brother's official position is higher than mine, so the first credit is naturally my brother's." Liu Renyu excused himself.

"Hey, brother Xian, don't say that, my brother and you are not outsiders, what kind of success is our war, we know it in our own hearts, this expedition is indeed a lot of reliance on you, so the first merit is yours, you don't have to fight anymore." Liu Wuguo suddenly said solemnly.

"Okay, since my brother loves him like this, then the humble position will no longer be contested, and the humble position will give you the credit for beheading Miao Mei, okay?"

"Miao Mei didn't die at my hands, she was killed by Brother Xian's men."

"If you say yes, that is, no one will have an opinion."

"In that case, let's do what Brother Xian wants."

"There are a total of 600 in this ranking, and 200 will be divided into lowly positions, so is it okay to reward my brother for meritorious soldiers?"

"Reasonable."

"Then do you think I wrote this merit request, or did you write it, brother?"

"In this expedition, the virtuous brother has made great contributions, and this meritorious document is naturally written by the virtuous brother."

"My brother said so, and I won't shirk my humble position, and after this request is written, I will ask my brother to look at it, and then send it to Hong Junmen."

"Brother Xian, brother, I am most relieved, just do what you say."

"Okay. Oh, by the way, before the expedition, the lowly official said that he would invite the four generals to dinner, but the lowly official was not familiar with them, and he didn't even know where they lived, so he had to bother my brother to talk to the generals on my behalf, and set up a banquet in the Four Seas Restaurant in the city tonight. ”

"You're going to invite those guys to dinner, okay, I'll bring the words."

"Then I'm going to bother my brother, this little meaning, please ask my brother to laugh."

After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he was about to hand a beautiful bag to Liu Wuguo.

Liu Wuguo knew that Liu Renyu had always been arrogant, and now he only gave a small bag, so the items in that bag must be expensive, so he said politely: "Brother Xian, they are all from their own family, why be so polite." ”

However, he was so polite in his mouth, but he did not hesitate to put the bag in his arms, and it was inconvenient for him to check the things in the bag at this time, so he could only wait until he returned to see it.

When Liu Wuguo took the bag in his arms, he said to Liu Renyu again: "Brother Xian, since you want to settle the displaced people of our Zhao'an, then these thieves will be handed over to you to take care of." ”

When Liu Renyu heard this, he looked at Wang Zuojiao and the others who were following behind him, smiling all over his face, and then turned back and said to Liu Wuguo with a smile: "That's natural, my brother can tell Mr. Wei Qian, and let him hand over the homeless people under his care to Yang Desheng." ”

"Okay, I know, then I'll go to find those generals first, and we'll see you at the Four Seas Restaurant in the evening." After Liu Wuguo finished speaking, he hugged his fists and walked towards his own barracks with his own guards.

Liu Renyu also hugged his fists and watched Liu Wuguo go away.

After sending Liu Wuguo away, Liu Renyu said to Wang Zuohang and the others: "Let's go, a few leaders, follow me to the barracks to rest, we have to rush to Jingbian Fort tomorrow." ”

"Hey, hey, the little ones know." When Wang Zuohang and the others saw Liu Renyu give the order, they all nodded again and again with a flattering smile.

"Let me go." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he and Liu Renjie walked quickly towards their own military camp.

Seeing this, the rest of the bandit leaders followed closely, for fear of falling behind.

When Liu Renyu and the others came to the place where they camped last time, there were already people and helpers who had already set up the camp tents, and they were waiting for Liu Renyu's troops to settle in.

Liu Renyu and Liu Renyu both lived in the big tent of the Chinese army, in addition, he also specially ordered a special camp tent to be set aside for Wang Zuo to hang, and the rest of the leaders squeezed a camp tent together.

When several leaders who surrendered heard Liu Renyu's arrangement, they all looked at Wang Zuohang with envy, and said with emotion in their hearts: "Damn, they all surrendered and were recruited, why did Wang Zuohang receive such preferential treatment." ”

Wang Zuohang saw the envious eyes of several former colleagues, and couldn't help but secretly say proudly: "Hehe, fortunately, we surrendered early, otherwise how could we get such favor." ”

Liu Renyu didn't know the psychological activities of several leaders of his own Zhao'an, so he asked Sun Wuzhi to settle a few leaders, and then took Liu Renjie back to the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Liu Renyu sat in the seat of the main general, he said to Liu Renjie: "Renjie, pick out the four most valuable treasures from the treasures we have seized this time, and I will give them to the four generals in the evening." ”

"My lord, I know that among the treasures we have captured, there are two night pearls that are very valuable, and in addition, there are two pieces of jade pendants that are also worth a lot. These few things can make up exactly four gifts. ”

"How do you know how much these things are worth?"

"My lord, among the displaced people we recruited, there was one who used to run a pawnshop, Sun Wuxi's guy was bored one day, so he summoned the shopkeeper, and wanted to know how much the things we seized were worth, the shopkeeper's eyes were very poisonous, what was valuable, what was not valuable, you could see it at a glance."

"Yes, that shopkeeper, let's take it with me in the army in the future, and we will seize the treasure in the future, so let him comment on it and see if it's worth it."

"Hey, yes, I know it. Oh. By the way, my lord, I heard that Hong Junmen gave you a table outside the big tent, you see that Hong Junmen loves you so much, why don't you send some money to Hong Junmen? ”

"Hehe, Hong Junmen is an extraordinary person, what he wants is not money, but power and fame, for now, my value in the eyes of Hong Junmen is to suppress the thieves and absorb the homeless, these things are done, Hong Junmen is a capable person in the eyes of Yang Zhishuai and the emperor, he will naturally rise to prominence and get everything he wants, so we don't have to send money to Hong Junmen, sweeping the thieves for him is the best gift for him."

"I know."

"Well, okay, you're good to pick up the dropouts, call the disease-free, and bring a few more guards, let's go to the city. Let Zhang Tieniu take care of the affairs in the barracks, and you can talk to Ma Wenshan and let him assist from the side. ”

"Yes, my lord knows it."

After Liu Renjie finished speaking, he walked out of the Chinese army's tent and went to inform Sun Wuxi, Zhang Tieniu, Ma Wenshan and others.

When the things in the barracks stopped, Liu Renyu took Liu Renjie, Sun Wuxian and other guards out of the camp and went to Yulin City.

Liu Renyu and the others arrived at the gate of Yulin City, and the city gate official on duty saw that a person dressed as an officer came, so he stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask which one of them?" What is the matter with the place where you enter the city? ”

"We are the garrison of Jingbian Fort, Liu Renyu is also, we want to go to the city for a wine and dinner." Liu Renyu replied.

"Liu Wudi, Liu Ye!?" The city gate official was amazed.

"Exactly."

"Master Liu, please." The city gate official was very well-informed, and knew that this Liu Ye was a person valued by Hong Junmen, so he made a gesture of invitation very respectfully, and said at the same time.

"You're too polite, Renjie, reward!"

"Yes, sir." Liu Renjie agreed, then took out silver taels and distributed them to the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate one by one.

Those who guarded the city gate could get a reward when they shouted Liu Wuving, and it was a full one or two silver rewards, and they all patted their eyes and said with a smile: "Liu Ye is arrogant, thank you for Liu Ye's reward." ”

"Well, a little money, buy wine for the brothers." Liu Renyu said a few polite words, and then turned his horse and galloped towards the city.

When the city gate official saw that Liu Renyu was leaving, he led his subordinates to stand in a row and shouted, "Master Liu, hello to go." ”

When Liu Renyu entered Yulin City, he rode his horse and galloped, and when he galloped for a while, he suddenly stopped his horse and remained silent.

Seeing this, Liu Renjie immediately rushed forward and asked, "My lord, what's wrong, is there any situation?" ”

Liu Renyu was silent for a while, and then replied: "Where is the Four Seas Restaurant, I don't know yet!" Do you know where it is? ”

"My lord........ I don't know if I am humble!" Liu Renjie spread his hands and said with a blank expression.

"Alas, the name of a lifetime was ruined. Why didn't I think of sending someone to find out where the Four Seas Restaurant is! Really, Renjie, hurry up and ask where the Four Seas Restaurant is. ”

"Yes, sir." Liu Renjie agreed, and then looked around for someone to ask.

When Liu Renjie asked the way clearly, everyone set off again and galloped towards the Four Seas Restaurant.

After galloping for a while, they saw a four-storey Jiangnan characteristic building made of wood, painted with red paint, and covered with tiles on the roof, which stood out against the backdrop of the bungalows on the left and right.

Liu Renyu stopped his horses in front of the gate of this restaurant, looked at the words 'Four Seas Restaurant' written on the plaque from right to left, grinned, and said to several subordinates: "This is it, let's go in." ”

After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and handed the horse to the guy who was waiting outside to tie it up.

At this time, a young man dressed in gray cloth clothes, wearing a melon skin hat, and a white linen cloth on his shoulder, extremely thin, bowed down and ran in front of Liu Renyu with an extremely flexible figure, and said with a flattering smile: "Oh, the military master is here to eat, please come inside." ”

"Hmm," Liu Renyu nodded in agreement, and then casually threw out some scattered silver taels, wanting to reward this very diligent little two.

When the little second saw Liu Renyu's wrist raised, he threw out a few shiny things.

He was sent to the restaurant to welcome a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knew at a glance that the guest officer was rewarding, so he quickly grabbed a few times in the air, and actually grabbed all the scattered silver in his hand.

"Hey, Xiao Er's skills are good." Liu Renyu exclaimed.

"The military master has killed the villain, how can the villain's carving insect skills be compared with the military master's magic skills to kill the enemy." The little Ermei replied with a smile.

"Hehe, what you said is reasonable. Alright, take me in and find your shopkeeper. ”

"Yes, Master Jun, please follow the villain." That Xiao Er is a smart person, he didn't ask Liu Renyu what he was doing with his shopkeeper at all, he just took Liu Renyu away.

Inside the door of the restaurant, the little second said to a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf, wearing a gray cloth shirt, and looking a little wooden: "Shopkeeper Du, a guest said he was looking for you." ”

"Which guest?" When the shopkeeper heard that someone was looking for him, he took his eyes off the account book and looked at Xiao Erdao.

"This is the one." The little two pointed at Liu Renyu and said.

"I wonder what the guest officer is looking for me?" Shopkeeper Du asked.

"Is this Sihai Restaurant the property of the Du family in Yan'an Mansion?"

"Exactly."

"I'm Liu Renyu, the garrison of Jingbian Fort, do you recognize me?"

"Liu Renyu! Liu Ye! ”

Although the shopkeeper Du didn't know Liu Renyu himself, he had heard of it, and this Liu Ye was a business partner that the Du family tried to please.

Therefore, after Liu Renyu reported his identity, Shopkeeper Du walked out of the counter with great enthusiasm, and asked with a smile like a flower: "Is Master Liu here to eat wine and dinner when he comes to our store?" ”

"However, I want to invite a few distinguished guests in the army, I want to ask, you have a few dishes here, such as roasted goose and live cut sheep."

"Yo, Liu Ye is really knowledgeable, these dishes are superb in Beijing, it just so happens that we have these dishes here."

"Lehu, do you have a little song?"

"If Master Liu needs it, the villain can go and invite."

"Can you go on the stage? Don't invite some crooked melons and cracked dates to affect the mood of the guests. ”

"Master Liu just rest assured, as long as the price is reasonable, you will definitely not be disappointed."

"yes, that's easy. Renjie, put it on. ”

As soon as Liu Renyu gave the order, Liu Renjie put a heavy burden on the counter.

"Shopkeeper Du, let's see what's inside?" Liu Renyu said with a smile.

Seeing that Liu Renyu was smiling so confidently, Shopkeeper Du opened the bag and took a look, only to see that it was full of silver taels. It seems that there are at least a thousand taels.

When the shopkeeper saw that Liu Renyu didn't agree with him, he threw the silver and came out, knowing that this was a rich man, and he was more attentive to waiting.

"Shopkeeper Du, this is 1,500 taels, is it enough to buy a banquet, please Lehu and Xiaosing?"

"Hey, hey! Liu Ye, you are arrogant, 1500 taels, even in the capital, you can find high-class musicians and small singers, and hold a good banquet, not to mention in our borderland. You go to the Peony Pavilion for a while, the small one will prepare wine and dinner for you, please Lehu and Xiao Sing. Shopkeeper Du smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Well, that's good." Liu Renyu nodded first, and then said to Liu Renjie: "You are waiting here, and when you see those generals, you will come to inform me, and I will personally come down to greet you." ”

"Yes, sir."

After Liu Renyu finished talking to Liu Renjie, he went upstairs and walked towards the Peony Pavilion under the leadership of the little er.
