When Liu Renyu returned to Liangxiang, he sent people back to report to Ma Tianjun and Liu Renjie, this is to ask them to send a carriage to Beijing to present to Wang Chengen, the prince, and the second is to let them be vigilant, strengthen their vigilance, and take advantage of the current agricultural slack time to conduct military training for the peasants in the fort, because Shen Yikui and other thieves who surrendered rebelled again, if any of the thieves ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to invade Jingbian Fort, it was good to resist.

The messenger took the letter in his hand, took his two horses, and galloped all the way in the night, and went straight in the direction of Yansui.

After all the things in the capital were over, Liu Renyu started the next day, planning to leave Liangxiang with his soldiers and go to Liaodong as soon as possible.

When the soldiers of the Jingbianbao Army were still packing up their barracks, the officials and gentry in Liangxiang County all cheered and were very happy when they saw that the officers and soldiers stationed outside the city were about to retreat.

The people looked at each other and laughed and said, "The thief is away with the army!" Good hometown carefree! ”

When the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army saw this, they were all dissatisfied and angry, and their hearts were unhappy.

"There's a problem, when Chongzhen was the king of Qin in the second year, Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong's Shanxi soldiers robbed you, and you held a grudge against the officials and soldiers of the whole country. Hey, that's it, it's not up to you to allocate money and food, so you can enjoy yourself. Liu Renyu muttered angrily about the behavior of the officials and gentry of Liangxiang.

"General, this Liangxiang County Order is so hateful, we received an order from the Ministry of War, come here to station, don't say to supply food and salary, even the city gate is not opened, just take us as rebels, I feel that it is better to write a book, and participate in this bird county order not to supply military supplies, so as to delay the crime of military aircraft." Sun Wuxian snorted angrily and suggested.

"Yes, general, let's go, what does it mean to set off firecrackers, this is to send the plague god!" Zhang Tieniu was also dissatisfied.

"No need, left and right are not a big deal, more things are better than less, military generals and civil officials, don't win much, let's go." Liu Renyu

And he led the troops on a journey for a while, and when he was already 10 miles away from Liangxiang, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and someone shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers in front should stay." ”

When Liu Renyu heard this, he stopped his horse, stopped and turned around, and saw a man dressed as a civil official in a green official robe and a black gauze hat, who was riding a horse and galloping towards him.

"Who are you? What are you looking for us? Liu Renyu saw that the person who came was wearing an official robe, and looking at the color and complement, it seemed that he was a magistrate, so he asked more politely.

"Look at the outfit under your feet, isn't it the official and military general of this road?" The civil official listened to Liu Renyu's question, but did not answer the question, he first stopped the horse, and then asked rhetorically.

"I am the general of the soldiers and horses on this road, Liu Renyu, the guerrilla general of the Yansui Army Zhenjingbian Fort, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Liu Renyu first reported to his home, and then asked again.

"In the next is Li Jinzhao, the county governor of Liangxiang." The civil official smiled bitterly.

"It turned out to be Liangxiang County, I am fortunate to be happy. I don't know if the county is here to find the last general, what are you doing? Liu Renyu asked with a cold face.

In fact, Liu Renyu has always respected civil officials very much, but today he is angry with the bad attitude of the officials and people of Liangxiang, because he does not have a good face for this county order, and even the tone of the dialogue is hard and unkind.

The generals of Jingbian Fort were all secretly happy when they saw that their generals did not give face to the Liangxiang County Order.

Seeing that Liu Renyu's face was pale, the Li County Commander didn't care much, he just continued to smile bitterly: "Don't worry, general, this county doesn't open the city gate and doesn't accept the officers and soldiers, it's really a ...... of hardship." ”

"Isn't it that the soldiers of King Qin of Shanxi robbed your good hometown before, and you were afraid, so you closed the city gate and beware of us, yes or no?" Liu Renyu sneered and cut off Li Xianling's words.

"The general knows!" Li Xianling was surprised for a while, and then replied: "It was that gang of thieves who poisoned Liangxiang, and when the general's army came, the people and gentry were afraid of ....., worried that you were not strict under control, and the troops plundered, so they surrounded the county government and forced the county to close the city.

The county has only been in office for a year in Liangxiang, the foundation is unstable, everything in the county is held by the officials, and the gentry also have a lot of Austrian aid in the court, and the county has no choice but to close the city gate, and then the county is worried that you will lead troops to attack the city, so it is a lie to intimidate you, and please forgive the general. ”

After Li Xianling finished speaking, he bowed slightly to apologize.

As soon as this Liangxiang County order was carried out like this, the sullenness in the hearts of the generals in Jingbian Fort suddenly disappeared a lot, after all, it is rare for civilian officials to take the initiative to salute military attachés!

So Liu Renyu said with a pleasant face: "It's okay, county honor, our army has its own grain and straw, and there is no need for local supplies." ”

"The general is Gao Yi, and the county admires it very much, but the general goes out to fight for the country, shares the worries of the monarch's father, contributes to the court, and is ordered to be stationed in my good township, and the county is a labor army. The county specially brought 100 taels of silver, 100 stones of grain, and 10 chickens and ducks to the labor army. Li Xianling smiled.

When the officers and men of the Jingbianbao Army heard this figure, they all grinned and laughed, and they were all amused by this funny figure.

"County Zun, there are a lot of military supplies from Liangxiang! You can eat it for a day! Sun Wuxian said exaggeratedly.

"Hahahaha."

The soldiers of Jingbian Fort burst into laughter.

Li Jinzhao saw that the soldiers of Jingbian Fort laughed at him, so he naturally blushed on his face, so he was not embarrassed, but he still stabilized his mind and explained: "General, the good township is poor, and the treasury is empty. ”

Liu Renyu didn't know if Li County's order really paid out of his own pocket, but it was interesting enough for people to talk about it, so he smiled and said: "The county is respectful, and it is better to give less than not at all, and the last general thanked the county on behalf of the soldiers of the whole army." ”

"It's good if the general is not too little, then this county wishes the general a victory, a triumphant return, and a promotion to make a fortune." Li County's order gave up again.

"I lend you good words." Liu Renyu replied with a smile.

"General, this county is coming alone, and the food is still behind, please wait for a while." Li County ordered.

"It's okay, it's okay, the military situation is like fire, I'll go first, I'll send someone to follow you to get the labor and army materials in your county." Liu Renyu waved his hand.

"Dare to ask the general to go all the way with this county?" Li Xianling asked.

"I'll send Mr. He Qian to get it with you" Liu Renyu first responded, and then called again: "Where is He Ergou?" ”

"Humble duty." He Ergou responded.

"I order you to bring two baggage wagons and follow Li Xianzun to get military supplies, we will go first, and you will follow." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, General." He Ergou responded, and then said to Li County: "Li Xianzun, please lead the way, and I will go with you to get military funds." ”

"Please." Li Xianling made a gesture of please, and then rode his horse and galloped away in the direction of Liangxiang.

He Ergou called two heavy vehicles, followed Li County Ling, and headed all the way to the southwest.

"Let's go, there's still a long way to go."

When Li Xianling was far away, Liu Renyu ordered to his subordinates.

However, he said that the Li County Commander took He Ergou and his group to walk for a while, and then ran into the people of Liangxiang who were transporting military supplies in two-wheeled carriages.

So Li County ordered the delivery of the materials to He Ergou, and He Ergou thanked him, and then led his subordinates all the way to find his own general.

A middle-aged man who was also wearing a green official mansion next to Li Xianling waited until He Ergou was far away, and then said to Li Xianling beside him: "County Zun, you have already sent military funds to these Qiu Ba, and you have fooled their mouths, if they are short of military supplies and plunder elsewhere, the imperial court will not blame us, right?" ”

"That's natural, he has thousands of people, 100 stone of food to eat, and he can only eat for one day, fortunately, this official army has only been stationed here for one day, and the county has already provided them with a day's food, if they don't have enough food later, the regeneration incident is always the fault of other states and counties, and it has nothing to do with us." Li Xianling smiled slightly.

"The county is high, but the county is too polite to those Qiu Ba." The middle-aged man said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"At this time, at that time, there is also a time, and now the border is full of smoke, it is the time when Qiu Ba has to be used, Jun did not see the ancestor Dashou and ran back to Liaodong without getting a military order, the emperor didn't take him anything, but the big Sima Wang died in prison without knowing it. If this county is not careful to deal with them, if they are not angry in their hearts, they will definitely defeat our good township, they may not have anything to do, and we will be miserable. Li County ordered.

"What the county lord said is that they pulled the cannon back from the Jingshi, and if they really attack the city, we may not be able to bear it." The middle-aged man nodded frequently.

"Yes, but those gentry and ordinary people don't know the depths, and they still set off artillery battles, isn't this deliberately trying to provoke people? If they are not angry in their hearts and rebel, the current court lacks soldiers and major generals, and they may not be able to levy it, but they are afraid that most of them will be appeased, but we will definitely not escape the crime of forcing the rebels against the official army.

That's why the county has to focus on appeasing these Qiu Ba, appeasing them and not letting go of their identities, isn't it boring to find themselves. Alas, in such a low voice to a Qiu Ba, the shame of the Jinshi. Forget it, it's still the fault that the imperial court has no money to put food and salary, forget it, it's useless to talk more, let's go back. Li County Ling sighed, then turned his horse and rode his horse in the direction of Liangxiang.

"Alas! The way of the world has changed, Qiu Ba has become fragrant, and the world is declining. The middle-aged man also sighed, then shook his head again and again, and led a group of people who were transporting heavy baggage to return to Liangxiang County.

Besides, because of the fact that the officers and soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army came to deliver the military supplies because of the excellent attitude of Li County's order, most of the evil spirit that had been guarded under the Liangxiang City before was dissipated, and everyone marched happily with smiles on their faces.

"General, today's county order came to deliver military supplies, like a grandson, Tie Niu looked relieved." Zhang Tieniu said happily to Liu Renyu.

"Yes, General, yesterday he was so hard, but today he is so depressed, and he is funny tight." Li Jiye echoed.

"Hehe, everyone, he is so careful, I think he may be afraid that we will join him, so I came to give in." Liu Renyu smiled.

"What the general said is that the imperial court is the most important in Liaodong at the moment, let's go to Liaodong to fight, and we will not give military supplies. Sun Wuxian said with a smile.

"Well, finally Li County Commander has come to deliver military supplies, forget about the matter in Liangxiang, let's hurry up and go to Dalinghe Fort quickly." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, General," the generals of the Jingbianbao Army responded.
