Li Yanqing's right military camp is located in the east of the camp, composed of thousands of tents, the momentum is very magnificent, according to the configuration of 10,000 troops, in addition to the commander of the main general, there are two commanders as deputy generals, below are ten partial generals, ready to be twenty people, in addition to several civilian officials, one person in the record office, one person in the record army, and one person each in the six Cao army.

Li Yanqing and Chong Shuaidao came to the front of the camp of the right army, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "I don't know who the commander is?" ”

The seed master smiled slightly: "I have arranged Liu Jian for you in one of them, and the other one has not yet been decided, you can consider it yourself." ”

When Li Yanqing heard that Liu Jian was the deputy general, he was overjoyed, thought about it and asked, "I don't know how to be in the army?" ”

Seed Master Dao shook his head, "He Guan is the commander of the Chinese army, Liu Guangshi will not let him go, I have no choice." ”

"What about Yang Zaixing?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile again.

"Yang Zaixing is also a partial general in the Chinese army, I can transfer it to you, but his qualifications seem to be a little shallow, you have to think about it carefully."

Li Yanqing laughed, "No matter how shallow you are, can you have shallow qualifications?" ”

The seed master laughed, "Heroes are judged by their merits, okay!" Then I will elevate him to the rank of commander and hand him over to you. ”

Yang Zaixing once served as the head of the pro-soldier of the Seed Master Dao, and he has been in the army for five or six years, of course the Seed Master Dao also wants to promote him, but he is afraid that people will say that he is nepotistic, and it just so happened that Li Yanqing named him as the commander, and the Seed Master Dao did a favor.

As the commander, he not only had to take care of Li Yanqing's army, but also went to inspect other military camps, so as not to be talked about favoritism, and the generals in the army would not be convinced.

Li Yanqing walked into the camp, and saw Liu Jian walking quickly, the two had fought side by side, and the friendship was deep, they had not seen each other for more than two years, and they were very cordial when they met at this time, the two hugged tightly, Li Yanqing sighed: "Time flies so fast, it has been more than two years, I didn't expect us to be able to be the same account." ”

Liu Jian smiled and said: "It's not the same account as a general, you are the main general, I am the deputy general, and you continue to be the boss." ”

"In the big tent of the shuai, aren't we just the same account?"

The two laughed, and Liu Jian said to Li Yanqing again: "It's still an empty account, and the 5,000 Hedong Army hasn't been transferred yet, how do you plan to prepare?" ”

This is also the consistent style of leading the army, generally letting his subordinates go to form an army, fully trusting his subordinates, he is responsible for preparing the general Eastern Route Army, deploying his own trusted people as the main generals and deputy generals of each army, and then the main generals of each army are responsible for appointing second-class officers below the generals.

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "I told the marshal, another commander will transfer Yang Zaixing over, and I will consider letting Wang Gui, Niu Gao, and the two sons of the Cao family, Gao Zhong and Zhang Hu, there are six people here, and if you recommend two, Yang Zaixing will recommend two people." ”

Liu Jian shook his head slightly, "I don't need to recommend it, I want to give Yanqing a word of advice." ”

"You say!"

"The 5,000 Western troops that will be transferred immediately are all partial generals, you can't get rid of them, at least five places must be left for them, otherwise the army will not be easy to bring."

Li Yanqing suddenly woke up, he almost forgot the original general of the army, thanks to Liu Jian reminding him, he hurriedly said: "You are right, then remove Zhang Hu, his qualifications are a little weaker, just prepare for it!" In addition, I also plan to set up an independent scout battalion, which is actually eleven partial generals. ”

"It should be possible, the scout camp is actually the former intelligence department, I think it's very important, it should be restored."

Just discussing, Yang Zaixing came with a few entourages, compared with the battle of Western Xia a few years ago, he was more calm and more serious, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Yanqing, "The last general Yang Zaixing is hereby ordered by the commander to report to the commander!" ”

Liu Jian was embarrassed for a while, he didn't salute Li Yanqing just now, and hugged him, obviously his subordinates met with his boss, but it turned out to be a reunion of friends.

Li Yanqing hurriedly helped Yang Zaixing up and said with a smile: "It has not officially formed an army yet, so Zaixing doesn't need to be polite." ”

Yang Zaixing said with a solemn face: "Although it has not officially become an army, the military position has been appointed, and of course the lowly position should be subordinate." ”

Li Yanqing had no choice but to reluctantly say to him: "Then ask General Yang to go and see the big tent first, and soon Zhang Dutong will inform us to lead the troops, and we will divide the military tent first." ”

"Obedience!"

Yang Zaixing went in a hurry, Liu Jian looked at his back and smiled: "He has always been so serious, there are not many people who like him in the Hedong Army, but he has no problem at all with leading troops to fight." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, of course Yang Zaixing's ability, he asked him to come not to decorate the façade, but at this time, he didn't see Wang Gui left and right, so he asked, "Where is Wang Gui?" ”

"It seems that someone is looking for him outside the camp, and he ran outside the camp, then no, he is here!" Liu Qian pointed to the south and said.

I saw Wang Gui coming in a hurry with a person, leading a black horse, with dark skin and dust, Li Yanqing recognized it at a glance, could it be Niu Gao?

Li Yanqing was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him, "Looking forward to it, Lao Niu is finally here!" ”

Niu Gao was excited, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "The last general Niu Gao will be under control!" ”

It was Yang Zaixing just now, and now it's Niu Gao again, Li Yanqing hurriedly helped him up and introduced him to Liu Ji: "This is my junior brother Niu Gao, born in martial arts, who served as a partial general under Tong Guan, and was defeated and aggrieved, and now he has come to join me." ”

Li Yanqing introduced Liu Kuan to Niu Gao again, Niu Gao hurriedly saluted, Liu Kuang looked at Niu Gao, and saw a pair of corrugated double maces on his back, weighing at least forty catties, so he smiled and said: "I also have a one-handed mace, when will we learn how to make it?" ”

"General Liu has an order, Niu Gao should obey his fate!"

.........

Generally speaking, the soldiers will be assigned only after the main civil and military officials of each army are in place, and during the preparation period of the army, Li Yanqing can still go home to have a look, and it will not enter the state of war until the army officially goes north, and then he cannot leave the barracks casually.

Li Yanqing's most urgent thing now is to find someone, he wants to find Cao Ping to ask for two children of the Cao family, and he also wants to find Gao Shen and Gao Favor, and there are also civil officials.

Of course, civil officials can be recruited by the Seed Master Dao, or they can be recruited by Li Yanqing himself, Li Yanqing must first implement the scout camp master, and he has already thought of the most suitable candidate.

Li Yanqing left the barracks, took Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying back to the mansion, and found Hu Qing'er.

Hu Qing'er was a little unhappy and said: "Big brother led troops to recruit Liao, why is there no business for me?" ”

Li Yanqing was sorry in his heart, although women were not forbidden to serve in the army in the Song army, and each commander could control it by himself, like Liang Hongyu could also lead a female soldier to follow Han Shizhong, but it was strictly forbidden for women to appear in the barracks.

"It is strictly forbidden to bring women into the barracks, that is a capital crime, you won't watch your brother be beheaded on the first day of his tenure!"

Hu Qing'er also knew in her heart that she couldn't join the army to fight, so she had to ask angrily: "Since you don't want to take me, what is the eldest brother doing when he comes back to me?" ”

"I want you to take me to Dai Zong's shop."

Hu Qing'er was stunned, "What is the eldest brother looking for him?" ”

"I want to find Yan Qing!"

Li Yanqing knew that Yan Qing was the best scout, and this time for the northern expedition, he had to pull Yan Qing into his military camp.

Hu Qing'er thought for a while and said: "Yan Qing will not go to Dai Zong, they are mortal enemies, if the eldest brother wants to find him, I may know where he is?" ”

"You know?"

Hu Qing'er nodded, "Yan Qing told me last time that the Lu family still has some property in the capital, Uncle Lu's family was killed, and there is no one to inherit it, so this little property will be left to him, since we go back to Beijing, I guess he is also in the capital, or.... I'll take my eldest brother to find it! ”

"Do you know where?"

"In the Xinqiao area, it's called Lu's Inn."

．．．．．．．

Li Yanqing is still relatively familiar with the Xinqiao area, and their first rouge shop opened in Xinqiao.

Coincidentally, Lu's Inn is directly opposite the Li Kee Rouge Shop, but the Lu Kee Inn is closed and not open, and a sign is hung on the door with the words 'This store is for sale'.

Li Yanqing and Hu Qing'er came to Li Ji Rouge Shop first, Li Yanqing was changing the brand, Li Ji Rouge Shop took off the brand and replaced it with an ancient Rouge Shop, it seems that his father has negotiated with the owner of Zhang Gu and bought the name of the store.

Li Yanqing asked the shopkeeper of the rouge shop: "Is there anyone in the inn opposite?" ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head and thought for a while: "This inn has been closed for several months, but it seems that someone lives in it at night, and last night when we took inventory, we saw the lights on the second floor of the inn. ”

At this time, Hu Qing'er, who was standing at the door, suddenly rushed over, Li Yanqing was stunned, and hurriedly followed, only to see Hu Qing'er stop a middle-aged man, the man was arguing with Hu Qing'er about something, and when he saw Li Yanqing coming, he lowered his head.

Li Yanqing also discovered this man's flaws, the glue and flour on his face have not dried yet!

"When did Brother Yan Xian return to Beijing?"

The middle-aged man was Yan Qing, he saw Li Yanqing and Hu Qing'er in front of the window on the second floor, so he hurriedly put on makeup and wanted to leave through the back door, but the back door had to pass through the alley next to the store, but Hu Qing'er intercepted him.

He was like a deflated ball, and said listlessly: "The county gentleman is here, just go into the store and say!" ”

Li Yanqing walked into the inn with him, only to see that the inn covered an area of at least three acres, but it had not been open for several months, and it was covered with dust.

"This is your shop?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

Yan Qing sighed and said: "It's my father-in-law's shop, he left it to me, but he can't pass it, it has become a dead shop." ”

"Why?"

Yan Qing took out the deed from her arms and handed it to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing took it, only to see that the owner of the house was Lu Junyi, Yan Qing said on the side: "I asked the tooth man, the transfer needs to be a contract, and the original owner must sign and draw the mortgage, but my father-in-law has died, where can I sign the mortgage?" If the original owner dies, the government of origin must prove that he has died, and then prove that I can inherit the property, and the government will accept the transfer of the shop. ”

The prefect of the Daimyo Mansion is still Uncle Zhang, who is his top boss, Li Yanqing smiled: "That's it! I'll take care of that for you. ”

"Can the officials do it?" Yan Qing was a little unconvinced.

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "The Daimyo Mansion Governor Zhang is now the deputy commander of the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, and he is my immediate boss, how could I not do it properly?" ”

Yan Qing was speechless for a while, and Li Yanqing said again: "I came to you today in the hope that you can follow me on the Northern Expedition, defend your family and country, do a career, and live up to your ability." ”

Yan Qing bowed her head and said silently, Hu Qing'er said angrily on the side: "How did you promise before, my eldest brother killed Song Jiang for you, and you ran away and refused to keep your promise?" ”

Yan Qing's face flushed, and she argued loudly: "I didn't run away, I have been following the officials, and the lair of the black-hearted dragon king is still set on fire by me." ”

Li Yanqing stopped Hu Qing'er with a wave of his hand, and said gently to Yan Qing: "I know, you have also reported to me twice to remind me that someone wants to sneak attack, in fact, you don't have to avoid it, a manly man, what's wrong with holding your head high!" ”

Yan Qing was extremely ashamed in his heart, he knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Yan Qing is willing to follow the officials and serve the officials!" ”
