Zhe Keqiu heard this, his face was slightly angry, fleeting, but his heart was extremely angry, the young man in front of him was really holding chicken feathers as an arrow, young and frivolous, didn't he mean that this Liu Zhengyan in front of him?

I just listened to the fold and said: "Xiao Liu Xianggong is now the envoy of this Qinfeng Road and Xihe Lanhuang, it is okay to stay in Qinzhou to run errands, it is okay to recruit troops in Qinzhou, and it is reasonable to increase food and pay for the soldiers." In this way, he asked Xiao Liu Xianggong to add some food and salary to the Qinzhou soldiers, so that it was not favoritism over the other, but justice. ”

Liu Zhengyan was still complacent about his own improvised plan, but when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was naturally in a dilemma. Now that Liu Zhengyan, as the nominal commander of the Western Army, only adds food and salary to his own corporaries, what does this make the soldiers in other places think? Doesn't he offend the soldiers of other places?

It doesn't hurt to treat subordinates well, but under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is a benefit given by the local chief officials in addition to the prescribed salary, and if it is stipulated that the monthly salary will be increased, then it is another problem. Liu Zhengyan has no experience as a chief officer, but this matter has finally embarrassed himself.

Liu Zhengyan is bent on fighting with Fold Keqiu, and bent on Brushing Bold. If you have a lot of money and food, it doesn't matter, it can be regarded as a big spending. But there is not much money and food, so it becomes a problem.

"When the season of grain collection is available, taxes from all over the country will come up, and the soldiers will be given some food and wages." Liu Zhengyan opened his mouth to reply, but he couldn't relax his brows, the northwest has never paid much taxes, and he has to feed the officials and officials of the yamen in various places, as well as the forbidden army and the Xiang army, repair the military forts in various places, and the local yamen also have to repair the official roads, canals, rivers and bridges.

Zhe Keqiu smiled when he heard this, so he didn't say much, and just followed Liu Zhengyan to the city. This Qinzhou is the Qinzhou of the folded family, and there are many means to be confident, so it depends on what kind of plan this little Liu Jing has planned, what kind of idea he has.

At the naturalization pass, Hu Yanzhuo took a frame from the Albati people, and there was a person in the frame.

After receiving this person, Hu Yanzhuo was shocked and personally led someone to escort the people in the frame to Yanjing. Those jade seals and gold medals, Hu Yanzhuo personally carried them on his chest, and when he was resting on the horse, he took them down and counted them carefully, for fear of losing them, and then carried them on his back and continued to hurry, even if he was sleeping, he also put them on his chest, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Inside the frame, is Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Khitan Great Liao Empire.

When Hu Yanzhuo waited for Yanjing, Zheng Zhi and the army had just arrived in Yanjing. The army was still heading north, and Zheng Zhi went into the city to talk to Li Gang in detail, and then went to chase the brigade later. That's how you don't miss a thing.

Li Gang is reporting to Zheng Zhi about the Gubei Pass, the beacon fire and wolf smoke that stretches for hundreds of miles, and Shi Jin's continuous letters to Yanjing, restore the battle between Li Gang and Zheng Zhi.

Fortunately, the dilapidated Gubei Pass is still strong.

"Lord Wang, General Huyan outside the door asks to see you." Niu Da walked into the small hall to report.

Zheng Zhi was suspicious when he heard this, how could Hu Yanzhuo ignore the military order and leave his post by himself? Even if it is a major military situation, it should be reported by the soldiers, not Hu Yanzhuo himself.

Zheng Zhi's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in an unkind tone: "Call him in!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo entered the small hall, the wind and dust servants, bowed on one knee, saw that Zheng Zhi's face was already not good, and said busily: "Your Highness, the last general left the army without permission, it is really too important, I dare not make a mistake." Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ”

I saw Hu Yanzhuo talking while taking the burden on his chest.

Zheng Zhi and Li Gang were not in a hurry to speak, watching Hu Yanzhuo's movements. I saw a few things emerge from the package, the jade was shiny and golden!

Zheng Zhi had already stepped forward and picked up a large seal to look at it, with small Khitan characters and large Chinese characters. Liao State Jade Seal!

"What about people? Is it dead or alive? Zheng Zhi asked.

Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly replied: "Just outside the yamen, the last general will take more than 100 personal soldiers to guard day and night, and he doesn't dare to let him make the slightest mistake." I'm living a good life, and I've gained a lot of weight. When I first saw him, I was like a beggar on the side of the road, but at this time I regained some of my spirit. ”

Zheng Zhi nodded when he heard this, "And bring it in." ”

Hu Yanzhuo got up and turned around, and went to take Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi walked into the small hall and looked up at the two people in front of him, the two in front of him, an ironclad man, with a dark face and sharp edges. The other person was dressed in a dark red official uniform of the Song Dynasty, with a slightly pale complexion, and a literati popularity. But these two people don't seem to be very old.

Yelu Yanxi also knew that he was here to see Zheng Zhi, the king of Yan, but the two in front of him were not like the imaginary King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty.

An iron armor, apparently a general, doesn't look like it. One is wearing an official mansion, not a prince's python robe, so it doesn't look like it. Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Ji are actually no different, the difference between Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Ji is that the two have different hobbies, one likes hunting, and the other likes calligraphy and painting.

After Yelu Yanxi was captured by the Jin State, he faced the same humiliation as Zhao Ji, but he could survive for a few years and see the sorrow of the world.

In Yelu Yanxi's heart, the prince of a big country doesn't seem to be like the two people in front of him.

While Yelu Yanxi was still looking, Hu Yanzhuo stretched out his leg and kicked out, hitting Yelu Yanxi's legs, and shouted: "You are a king of a dead country, when you see His Royal Highness King Yan of my family, how can you be qualified to hold your identity here." ”

Yelu Yanxi stumbled, then knelt on the ground, and between doubts, he said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Yelu Yanxi speaks Chinese, but he speaks it well, although he also has an accent, but he also reads a lot of poetry and classics of this Han people, and there is no obstacle to communication. From this point of view, this Yelu Yanxi can be regarded as a talent, the steppe Turkic language can be spoken, the Khitan language can naturally be spoken, but the Chinese language can also be spoken, and he should be able to understand the words of the Murowei people. The former glory of this Great Liao Empire is all revealed in the languages that Yelu Yanxi can understand.

Zheng Zhi is naturally also looking at this Great Liao Emperor, this person is not short, and it seems that he has a lot of strength, but he has long lost the slightest pride in being the Son of Heaven.

This kind of Son of Heaven who has no pride is different from Zhao Ji who Zheng Zhi faced, and Yelu Yanxi gave Zheng Zhi the feeling that he could only be sad. I heard Zheng Zhi say: "Come on, give me a seat." ”

Niu Da walked in from the door and moved a square chair. But it was this Yelu Yanxi who stood up and didn't sit down, bowed down and said, "The little one can stand." Thank you, His Royal Highness King Yan, for taking a seat. ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, and did not force it, and said: "I heard that Your Majesty has been chased and rounded up by the Jurchen Iron Cavalry on the grassland, but I didn't think that Your Majesty could still have this means and live to this day." Congratulations. ”

Yelu Yanxi hurriedly said when he heard this: "Your Highness has won the award, and the villain can't stand the honorific title of His Majesty, so he is really afraid." The villain has always liked to hunt, so his riding skills are not bad, and he has relied on this riding skill to survive in danger repeatedly. ”

"Your Majesty has been able to escape many times under the hands of the Jurchens, and it seems that the riding skills are really not bad. Now that a certain and the Jurchen have started a war in Gubei, Your Majesty and the Jurchen have a national hatred and family hatred, and I hope that Your Majesty will help you a few times to help a certain win, if this is defeated, a certain will inevitably destroy the Jurchens and avenge your Majesty, what does Your Majesty think? Zheng Zhi said while thinking in his head.

Yelu Yanxi heard Zheng Zhilian call His Majesty, and he was even more frightened, and said: "If you can serve His Royal Highness King Yan with a meager effort, it will be the honor of the villain." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded when he heard this: "In Yanjing City, there are many Liao clans in the past, although these people have lost their power and property back then, they also have some energy and connections. Although the sixteen states of Yanyun are all under a certain command, there are many deviations in the hearts of these Liao clansmen, so I ask Your Majesty to appease and recruit more, and those who can go into battle should also serve a certain person, so it is also to avenge them. Isn't that a good thing? ”

Hearing this, Yelu Yanxi nodded again and again: "It should be, this is how it should be." The villain must do this for His Highness. ”

But Zheng Zhi didn't expect this Yelu Yanxi to be so easy to talk to, so cooperative with himself, and said: "In this way, the places outside the customs were the homeland of the Liao State in the past, and the people of the Liao State all miss the old country. I also want to ask Your Majesty to gather some capable people out of the customs and contact Duoduo a few times. ”

When Yelu Yanxi heard this, his atmosphere was relieved, and when he said this, he also indicated that his life was saved, and if he could keep this life at this time, he would have nothing else to ask for.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the villain should do his best in this matter, and he will die. As long as the Jurchen can be extinguished, I, the Khitan people, will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire. Yelu Yanxi opened his mouth and said, this Chinese idiom is even more handy. The Khitan people are not much different from the Han people.

Zheng Zhi smiled and got up and took a few steps forward: "So very good, so very good, as long as you can destroy the Jurchen, you should be able to keep your majesty's wealth for the rest of your life, and if your majesty still has children in the world, you can also keep them rich and noble." ”

Zheng Zhi thought far-reachingly, in the future, there will not only be Yanyun, but also many foreign state capitals, and the places outside the customs will mainly be dominated by the Khitans, and the loyal service of the Khitan people will be on this Yelu Yanxi. Even under the Great Xing'an Mountains, there is also the Khitan Safari Department, with Yelu Yanxi, in the next few decades, not only will it cost less hands and feet, but also how many dead people will be missing. Not only the death of the Khitans, but also the deaths of the people under Zheng Zhi. If you want others to die, you naturally have to fight with your life.

Now it seems that the Han and Khitan people do not need to be so antagonistic, and there are fewer unnecessary sacrifices.
