Compared to Abicheril, Liu Yan obviously has a lot more problems to face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 If nothing else, the losses caused by the Turgis attack were much greater than before, especially in the northern part of Gyeonggi, which had never been attacked by the Turgis before, and the losses were particularly heavy. It is unimaginable that there are many things to appease the people, rebuild the towns, and resume production.

In addition to problems such as resuming production, the bigger problem is the reward and punishment.

In this battle, in the face of Abicilil's surprise attack, a considerable number of officials chose to flee in panic. For officials who died in battle while loyal to their duties, of course, Liu Yan was all promoted to three levels in a row, and generously compensated their children and families, but for officials who fled without a fight, they could not be punished generally, because even the Manchu civil and military forces had fallen into panic, not to mention these officials who needed to face the Tuqi army? For officials who can organize the people to flee, Liu Yan will also open the net, only punished him with reprimands and demotions; And those officials who abandoned the people and fled alone, Liu Yan, was also merciless, beheading those who should be beheaded, and exiled those who should be exiled.

The last thing to deal with is the commanders in this battle. In contrast, the people who are easier to deal with are Wang Hanxin and Liu Xianzhi, they performed remarkably in this battle, especially in the face of Abiciel's surprise attack to be calm, analyzed the reasons and took effective remedial measures, Liu Xianzhi defeated the Tuqi army attacking the direction of Taiyuan, Wang Hanxin recovered Yanzhou, and intercepted Abiciel's main force on the bank of the Yellow River and achieved a big victory. Their merits are enough to be worth the fault of being broken through the defenses by the Raiders, and besides, this fault has been going on for a long time, and it can't be completely pushed on their heads. Therefore, Liu Yan rewarded and punished the two of them, commended and rewarded the victory, and reprimanded him for dereliction of duty, and punished Wang Hanxin with a downgrade of one level, but still temporarily accepted the post of general of the West, and ordered Wang Hanxin to step up training and implement the plan of counterattacking the Sudden Contract as soon as possible, and for Liu Xianzhi, he ordered him to transfer all the cavalry troops to Wang Hanxin's command to supplement Wang Hanxin's losses in the Yellow River blockade battle.

For Xue Boren and An Jingbian, the two veterans of Gongwei Jinggi, Liu Yan originally planned to give a big reward, but An Jingbian, who was already old, fell ill after recovering Danzhou because of his hard work for several days, and had no choice but to stay in Danzhou for treatment. Liu Yan had no choice but to first crown him as a candidate for peace, and Xue Boren as a candidate for a fixed prisoner, temporarily acting as the secretary of the Ministry of War.

It is much more troublesome for the problem of Youzhou. Zhu Tianshun was afraid of the enemy, and sat idly by and ignored the friendly army being besieged and Ulzhou being slaughtered, and it stands to reason that he should be severely punished, but judging from the results, his unstable strategy led to the inability of the Tuqi army to continue to expand the victory after breaking through the Sanggan River, and protected the integrity of the defensive circle of Youzhou, Dingzhou, Yizhou, Jizhou, and Zhuozhou, so that the reinforcements sent by the imperial court could return to Taiyuan Mansion in time, and it could be regarded as a contribution to the overall war situation, so if he was severely punished, it would inevitably attract opposition from many parties, especially the soldiers and officers in Youzhou. Therefore, Liu Yan listened to Wu Sicheng's advice, gave Zhu Tianshun the title of Dingbei general, and ordered him to enter Beijing to temporarily serve as a squire in the military department, which actually relieved him of his position as a defense envoy in Youzhou.

Originally, Liu Yan intended to let Gao Dingbian take over the position of Youzhou defense envoy, but this time Gao Dingbian was wiped out, only to be spared, although his troops effectively stopped the speed of the Tuqi army to the south bank of the Sanggan River, but the defeat was really not suitable for him to be promoted, so the Andong capital protector Sima Zheng Menglong, who had a meritorious role in transporting reinforcements into Taiyuan with the naval army, was appointed as the post of Youzhou defense envoy. Gao Dingbian did not rise or fall, but still ordered him to continue to gather cavalry.

In addition to the generals in these defense areas, there were two other people who attracted Liu Yan's attention, one was Lu Mingxian, the general of Gao Dingbian, and the other was Mi Yiguo, the uncle of the country.

Lu Mingxian once stabbed Badr, the right virtuous king of the Tuqi, into a serious wound, and broke through the encirclement of the Tuqi army in this battle to bring important information to Liu Xianzhi, and at the same time he was the nephew of the late martyr Lu Qinghan, so Liu Yan specially named him the general of Zhengliupin Weiyuan, assisting Gao Dingbian.

As a civilian official whose martial arts can only protect himself, Mi Yiguo led the musketeers and artillery units to successfully stop the support of the Tuqi reinforcements and cut off the source of Abicheril's strength, thus laying the foundation for turning the tide of the war. Of course, Liu Yan knew that there was an element of Wang Hanxin's deliberate doing, but after all, this was also done by Mi Yiguo independently, and as his brother-in-law, Liu Yan would certainly not let go of this opportunity to reward him. Liu Yan named him the post of lieutenant of Zhenwei from the sixth grade, so Mi Yiguo finally had his own official place in Wang Han's new army.

After all these disciplinary issues were settled, it was already the second half of the night. Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little tired after a few days of hard work, he stretched his waist, yawned a few times, and decided not to review the recital tonight.

Seeing the pleasant moonlight through the window, Liu Yan decided to go out for a walk and enjoy the moonlight that he had been disappointed for a long time.

The eunuch held the lamp in front of him, and Liu Yan wandered away, and before he knew it, he walked farther away. At this time, a voice touched his eardrums, the voice was very soft, and the eunuchs around him did not hear it, obviously it was still quite far away. Liu Yan followed the sound all the way, and the voice really got louder and louder - it turned out to be someone practicing boxing!

Who's going to be practicing boxing in the middle of the night?! Liu Yan couldn't help but be interested, so he asked the eunuch who followed: "What time is it now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already more than four watches."

"Oh." Liu Yan didn't continue to ask, and at this time his attention was completely attracted by this boxer. He motioned to the eunuchs not to follow, and crept slowly closer to the source of the sound.

Through the moonlight, Liu Yan saw clearly that this was a girl practicing boxing in the moonlight. The girl was wearing a light blue power suit, and her whole body turned into a light blue cloud in the moonlight. Liu Yan doesn't need to look at the moves, this speed alone is enough to prove that the girl's martial arts have surpassed most people, and even his own punches are not so fast, not to mention that this girl has a graceful posture and a good description, this set of punches makes her fight like a dance, which is very good-looking. Unconsciously, Liu Yan took a few steps forward, and inadvertently stepped on a dead branch and made a sound.

"Who?" The girl suddenly stopped her fist and asked.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Liu Yan straightened up and said, "It's the middle of the night, why do you want to practice boxing here." ”

When the girl saw it, she hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't know that the emperor had arrived, and it was rude." ”

"Which house are you from? Why do you practice here late at night? ”

Before the girl could reply, the eunuchs heard Liu Yan's voice, hurriedly ran over to serve, and when they saw this, they replied: "Back to the emperor, this is not a maid in the palace, but a noble person named by His Majesty, Lu Yu, the daughter of the martyr." ”

"Oh? It turned out to be her. Liu Yan listened and walked a few steps, stretched out his hand to help Lu Yu up, and said, "It turned out to be the daughter of Liehou, no wonder the martial arts are so good." ”

His Majesty teased. The slave was born in a family of martial arts, and she learned a little about the family boxing skills. After entering the palace, I didn't dare to forget, and I was afraid that I would disturb others by practicing during the day, so I got up to practice every day. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "It's good that you can think so." How old are you this year? ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is fourteen years old this year."

"Good. Then you can continue to practice, and I should sleep for a while. Liu Yan said, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. The eunuchs hurriedly followed, leaving only Lu Yu alone.

This encounter left a deep impression on Liu Yan, and since then, the figure of this woman with strong martial arts often appears in Liu Yan's mind. (To be continued.) )
