Liu Chengqian and others laughed and were just about to enter the city, but they saw that at the gate of the city, Su Yue, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, Wang Zhang, Liu Ba, Ye Renlu, Li Hongxin, Yuan Jun and other more than a dozen people, riding high-headed horses, went out of the city together, with a huge group of foot cavalry soldiers behind them, Liu Chengqian also thought that there was another war in Songzhou, and he hurriedly led people to get out of the way.

The generals also saw Liu Chengqian immediately, and Shi Hongzhao opened his big mouth from afar, and shouted to Liu Chengqian rudely: "Boy, I heard that in the past few days, what kind of farm have you set up outside the city with those rotten mountain bandits from Hutou Mountain?" It's such nonsense, I don't want your dad to worry. ”

When Liu Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave Shi Hongzhao and the others an uncle and elder salute, saying: "How dare the kid mess around, just follow Daddy's wishes and properly place them." Then he asked, "Uncles, you are in a hurry, where are you going?" Is there another war to be fought? ”

When Li Hongxin heard this, he urged him to step forward and replied: "Now that Songzhou is peaceful, how can there be a war, we are going to the counties in the prefecture on business, your father is determined to rectify the governance of Songzhou, let us go to the counties, strictly grasp the rule of officials, and develop the people's livelihood, your father is now looking for you in the prefecture, you should go back quickly." ”

Let these rude and rude, inexperienced generals to take care of the people's livelihood and government affairs of the counties, just kidding, Liu Chengqian heard that these generals were sent by Liu Zhiyuan to the counties of Songzhou to manage government affairs, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, it must be Liu Zhiyuan who listened to his words a few days ago before he decided to rectify the governance of Songzhou Prefecture, but he entrusted it to non-people, and it was almost the same to let these generals go down to make trouble, they had fought on the battlefield for many years, and there was a set of killing enemies, but in the governance of people's livelihood and government affairs, it can be said that they don't know anything, and it will be good if they don't pull their hind legs when the time comes.

Liu Chengqian was worried that these people would not be able to do anything practical when they went down to the counties, and even worried that they would go down to do mischief and harm sentient beings, so he didn't care to say more to them, so he took Huang San and the others and left in a hurry, wanting to return to the state government immediately, so that Liu Zhiyuan could immediately take back his life, and don't send these generals down in vain to meddle in the affairs of the counties.

When he returned to the state office, Liu Zhiyuan was waiting for him in the state office, and when he saw Liu Chengqian coming in, he said, "Come here, Lao Tzu is looking for you with something important." ”

"Daddy, the kid has something to do, and I'm looking for you." As soon as Liu Chengqian saw Liu Zhiyuan, he didn't care about asking him about it, so he said to him anxiously.

When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Daddy, General Shi They have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and they are not familiar with the political affairs of various states and counties, so they can be said to be laymen, and it is very inappropriate and harmful to let them go to the counties of Songzhou to manage people's livelihood and government affairs, and it is harmful and useless.

"Nonsense, generals who can recruit and fight well can't manage government affairs? Then your Lao Tzu has also been in the army for a long time, and you Lao Tzu will not be able to manage the state governance? They are your brothers who know the roots, and if you don't send them, do you want to send some outsiders who don't know anything? Liu Zhiyuan listened to Liu Chengqian's words and rebuked with a calm face.

Liu Chengqian was stunned by Liu Zhiyuan's repeated questioning, and then said: "Daddy, we can't be nepotistic, the government affairs of various states and counties are complicated and complex, they are inexperienced, once they are mishandled, it will provoke a civil uprising, which is counterproductive, I hope Daddy will consider it carefully." ”

"Don't say it, whoever Lao Tzu sends, who doesn't send, you don't need to put your beak." Liu Zhiyuan scolded impatiently, "At the beginning, which one didn't deal with things for the first time and slowly summed up experience, could it be that those civil officials were born to handle government affairs?" Can't be cronyistic? Lao Tzu heard that you used to do a good job in Songcheng County, and just now I wanted you to be in Songcheng County, assist Zhang County, deal with the refugees in the city and arrange spring ploughing, then you don't do it, Lao Tzu can't be nepotistic, you go back and hang out with your cats and dogs all day long. ”

Liu Chengqian was a little embarrassed by Liu Zhiyuan's reprimand, and couldn't help but say: "Uh, Daddy, the kid is saying that they are soldiers and are good at dealing with violence, and the kid is worried that they will deal with things, be impatient, irrational, and act recklessly, but will disrupt the original politics of the counties." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Lao Tzu's brother will be measured." Liu Zhiyuan said coldly.

"Daddy, you'd better set up a monitoring team to supervise and correct their military discipline and discipline, lest someone make a mistake and cause trouble to the township." Liu Chengqian ignored Liu Zhiyuan's cold face and suggested with some worry.

"Hmph, brother Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can be trusted, it's okay, let's go out." After listening to Liu Chengqian's suggestion, Liu Zhiyuan snorted coldly, said disapprerovantly, and was going to drive him out after speaking.

"Daddy, I heard that after you recruited many people from our Hutou Mountain into your horse army, you want to form a new army, I don't know if it?" Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan was going to drive him away, his suggestion was hopeless, and in desperation, Liu Chengqian had no choice but to put down the matter and hurriedly asked Liu Zhiyuan about the formation of a new army.

"Who did you listen to? So what? When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, he glanced at Liu Chengqian and said indifferently.

"Uncle said, Daddy, you let the kid lead this horse army, the kid has been with them for a long time, and he has learned a lot about them, and he will get twice the result with half the effort when he trains in the future." Liu Chengqian pleaded.

"Look at your figure, is it suitable for marching and fighting, your uncle is also a little more important, and he also plans to let you join the army, but if you really go to the battlefield, what is the difference between going up and sending you to death, Lao Tzu, this is for your good, your eldest brother is already in the army, your third brother and fourth brother are still young, and when they return to the capital in the future, you will stay at home and take care of them." Liu Zhiyuan put away the cold face just now, and said kindly, but his tone was extremely resolute.

There was no hope of joining the army, Liu Chengqian had to quit sullenly, but he couldn't help but cry out sadly in his heart: Why is Lao Tzu so unlucky, I thought that with Liu Zhiyuan, a big backer, he would be able to show his strength in the future, and he would be able to wind and rain, but now he wants Lao Tzu to do the job of a nanny, sad and sad.

Although Liu Zhiyuan did not let Liu Chengqian join the army, he also said angrily that he would not let Liu Chengqian assist Zhang Xianling in handling the Songcheng matter, but in the end, he still let the soldiers at the gate of the yamen and handed Liu Chengqian a token of the main book of Songcheng County, which somewhat comforted Liu Chengqian.

Coming out of the state ya, I heard some noise outside the yamen from a distance, Zhang San, Li Si and others rudely shouted and scolded, and from time to time came from afar, Liu Chengqian thought that something had happened to them, and hurriedly walked towards the yamen.

When I came to the yamen, I saw Zhang Dongping with a team of soldiers, escorting more than 100 people, waiting outside the yamen, those who were detained, wearing blue shirts, were kneeling in the open space outside the yamen under the release of all the officers and soldiers, Wang Fu was anxious, followed Zhang Dongping, and kept pleading for those people.

Zhang San and the others were on the side, pointing angrily at the people who were kneeling on the ground. I saw Li Si tugging at a person's clothes, and shouted and scolded: "Deng Ergou, you dog thief also has today, you are so fucking shameless, you dare to betray the brothers on the mountain, and use some indiscriminate means to ask us for credit from the official army, Lao Tzu has to beat you to death today." After speaking, he slapped Deng Ergou twice.

After listening to Li Si's words, Liu Chengqian took a closer look, and recognized that these people were Deng Ergou and others who betrayed themselves on Hutou Mountain, at this time, under the angry beating and scolding of Zhang San, Li Si and others, they lowered their heads, silently endured the beating and scolding of Zhang San and others, and did not dare to say a word.

Wang Fu saw Liu Chengqian coming out of the state office, hurriedly greeted him, and pleaded in a low voice: "Second son, Deng Ergou offended you on the mountain before, and he should have died, but now they have taken refuge in our official army and joined our Southern Expeditionary Army. ”

Zhang Dongping stepped forward proudly, pushed Wang Fu away, and said to Liu Chengqian: "Second son, these people have offended you, and they have already captured them all, and now they are killing or killing, and please ask the second son to decide." ”

When Zhang San and the others heard this, they immediately shouted loudly: "I can't spare them, kill them, kill them, these dog thieves are too shameless, and only by killing can they get rid of their hatred." ”
