"The last will obey!" Liu Ping knelt on the ground and raised his hands respectfully, taking the holy decree in Yuwen Xuzhong's hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info asked calmly: "Yuwenren, there is nothing else to ask the saint."

Confessed? ”

"What? What else does General Liu have to explain? Yuwen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"For example, military salaries, food and grass, you see I don't have anything here. I fought several battles with the Jin people. Now the system is not complete. You see if it's ・・・・・. Liu Ping said as he stretched out a hand, his thumb, index finger and middle finger twisted together, looking like a philistine.

A trace of disgust flashed in Yuwenxu's heart, and he said in his heart, Qiu Ba is Qiu Ba, he has no self-cultivation, he only knows how to ask for a reward, it seems that this person is the same as other generals, and he only has gold and silver in his eyes. But there was not a trace of it on his face. said with a smile: "General Liu, I said in the holy decree that you are now the doctor of Zhixuanzheng, and you have jurisdiction over Cangzhou, Daimyo, Zhuozhou, and Yizhou. Besides, when the national crisis is at hand, the treasury is also a little unable to make ends meet, and the saint is also very difficult. Therefore, when the food and salary are heavy, General Liu has to think of a way by himself. ”

"Daddy! Isn't this a game of people? There is nothing, and I want Lao Tzu to bring someone to fight for you! When you were Lao Tzu's soldiers, they were all made of stone? I don't eat or drink. Liu Ping scolded secretly in his heart. Looking at Yu Wenxu, he said, "Can a certain family levy grain and conscription on the spot?" ”

"Not bad! However, the military rations and soldiers levied need to be reported to the military horse division in front of the Bianliang Palace. General Liu, the Holy Lord and Li have very high expectations for you, he is a loyal general of the four grades at a young age, controlling the land of the four states, and is in charge of the power of soldiers, horses, grain and grass

Yajian Mansion, the festival of one side, is not far away. Yuwen said in the middle of the void.

"Oh, the Admiral understands." Liu Ping said lightly, Fang Cai himself has not yet understood, it turns out that this holy decree is not in vain, and the power of the four states is not small. A veritable military and political one. Although he only controls Cangzhou Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion now, Guo Yaoshi in Zhuozhou, Yizhou has been scared by himself, and after a period of cultivation, he will take Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and then he will have a certain amount of capital in this troubled world.

Yuwen turned around and took out a holy decree from the brocade box and said to King Kang, Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang: "Zhang Bangchang, King Kang listens to the edict. ”

"The minister is here!" Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang said in unison.

"The Golden Thief East Road retreated, there is no need to stay in the north of the river, and now the two of them are ordered to return to Bianliang as soon as possible! Chin this! ”

"Thanksgiving!" Zhang Bangchang and Zhao Gou said in unison.

After Yuwen finished reading the holy decree in his hand, he turned his hand to the two of them: "King Kang, Lord Zhang, now that the gold thief on the East Road has been defeated, there is nothing important here, you two can go back to Beijing with me." ”

"Very good! What Shutong said is very true. It's also a good thing to go back to Beijing in this way. Zhang Bangchang said.

"That. The end will not be far away. Liu Ping interjected.

"Humph!" Zhang Bangchang let out a breath in his nose.

That night, Liu Ping set up a banquet to entertain Yuwenxu and others, and the next day, Yuwenxu left with King Kang, Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang.

Liu Ping has been very idle these days, constantly having political troubles, the city defense here needs to be repaired, the displaced people there need to be resettled, there are only more than 1,000 people left in the cavalry battalion of the Yongding Army, and there are less than 2,000 people left in the infantry army. had no choice but to continue large-scale conscription in Cangzhou and Daimyo. There are too few civil servants under his command to deal with political affairs, and there is only one Nake, who is considered a serious professional background, and all the things are piled up on Nake. However, as a reborn Mr. Nake, this is not a matter, so Liu Ping is also happy to give all these annoying things to Nake, and Nake has screened a group of more capable people from the original government to serve as some clerical positions, and he is not so busy.

On this day, Liu Ping, who was freed from political affairs, changed into civilian clothes and took Niu Gao and Lin Chong to wander around the streets of the Daimyo's Mansion to breathe, but his mind was full of the strong cavalry of the Jin people, and he chatted to the people around him while walking: "The combat power of the Jin people is indeed very strong, you see that our cavalry has just been trained, there are not too many instructors who are proficient in equestrian skills, everything can only start from scratch, is there a thing that can restrain the cavalry?" ”

"Restrain cavalry with cavalry." Chong replied lightly.

"Well, I think that by making more thunderbolts and more bows and arrows, I can still suppress the momentum of the Jin cavalry." Niu Gao also said on the side.

"Yes, it is indeed the best way to restrain the cavalry with cavalry, but I am short of horses, and now I have less than 2,000 horses in my hands, and the cavalry is not easy to train, there is no one for a year and a half, it can't produce any effect, we can't afford to wait. What Niu Gao said is also good, but the power of firearms is limited, and it can't exert its power at all after being damp, and it is only three arrows in battle, and it has little effect on the cavalry that charges at high speed against the Jinren. Liu Ping analyzed.

Is there really no good way to restrain the golden cavalry? Liu Ping said secretly, it's a pity that we don't have a gold finger, unless we really have machine guns and cannons in our hands.

While the three of them were talking, they had reached the most prosperous area on the street of Daimyo's Mansion, Liu Ping looked at the crowd of people coming and going, his eyes were full of emotion, and he said to himself: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world." ”

"The general's heart is for the people, and it is really a blessing for the people." Lin Chong said. At this moment, I heard the voices of people in front of me, but there were a group of people gathered there, not knowing what they were doing.

"Let's go, let's see." Liu Ping said.

When the three of them approached, they found an old man pushed and fallen to the side of the road, but there was a blacksmith shop at the door. There were three young men of about eighteen or nineteen years old beside the old man. Pick up the old man with an angry face!

"Daddy, let's go!" A young man helped the old man to leave.

"Want to go? It's not that easy! What do you do with the waste iron and the wasted carbon? After fighting for a long time, it took so much fine iron, do you want to leave?? What a master he claims to be in vain! Bah!! Hurry up, give money!! ”

"Shopkeeper Song, our father and son have worked for you for more than ten days here, making eighteen good kitchen utensils, plowshares and knives, you don't just say that you will be paid, why are you still squirting blood!" The old man said angrily.

"Fart! What I'm squirting with blood! You outcasts, if I hadn't been kind enough to take you in, you would have starved to death!! Eat and drink in my life, and dare to slander me! Look at how much good iron you have spent on the things you make, and there is more iron in one thing than in ten of them! What kind of bullshit is all about! The shopkeeper Song said viciously.

"Shopkeeper Song, you have to talk about your conscience, I, Wu Blacksmith, have been working on ironware all my life, you go and inquire, how have I ever done something bad! Sanzi, you show the big guy! "Old man

Angry.

"Daddy!" The descendant, known as the third son, took out a kitchen knife directly from the blacksmith shop. He took out an iron bar the thickness of a child's arm. The old man took the kitchen knife and iron bar and said to the shopkeeper of Song: "Today, I will call everyone to see if my old man Wu has a name!" Cheating to eat and drink! As he spoke, he picked up the kitchen knife and slashed at the thick iron bar. choked, and actually cut the thick iron bar into two short pieces in response. And there is no crack on the kitchen knife!

There was an exclamation in the crowd, secretly saying that this old man had so much strength that he could cut such a thick iron bar with a kitchen knife. Liu Ping's eyes flashed, and he muttered, "What a good thing!" Great stuff!! ”

"Humph! Don't try to deny it, don't think that what you make is good, it's worthless and a waste of things to me! Hurry up, pay me three taels of silver! Otherwise, none of the four of you will want to leave today! The shopkeeper Song said with a cold face.

"They owe you money, and I pay it back for them!" A voice rang out. Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Liu Ping walk up to the Song shopkeeper, take out a piece of broken silver, more than ten taels, and throw it in front of the Song shopkeeper.

"Hehe, what this minister said is true?" Shopkeeper Song said with a wicked smile.

"Really!" Liu Ping said lightly.

"Yo, Xianggong is really generous, that villain is under his hands. Haha," Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, turning to the four Wu family masters. "Get out, get out of the way, this prime minister has relieved you of the siege, you can go."

Niu Gao couldn't help his temper, rushed forward, grabbed the neck of the shopkeeper of the Song Dynasty and said angrily: "You are a good man." Blind your dog's eyes, you know who the person in front of you is! It's General Liu Ping! You dare to ask for his money!! ”

"Ahh Northland Blood Tiger General Liu... !! Shopkeeper Song looked at the tall young man in front of him, knelt on the ground * The money was handed to Liu Ping, and then he slapped himself in the mouth, scolding while beating, "The villain should be damned!" The villain is blind, I hope the general doesn't care about the villain! After pumping more than a dozen big mouths in a row, his face was full of blood but he didn't dare to stop, and he still looked arrogant, but now he has become an angry little daughter-in-law.

Liu Ping ignored him, and walked directly to Blacksmith Wu and said in a harmonious voice: "Uncle Wu, I'm frightened!" ”

"Thank you General Liu, little old man, thank you for the grace of General Liu's rescue." Blacksmith Wu knelt directly on the ground and said.

"Uncle, please get up." Liu Ping picked up the Wu blacksmith and said in a harmonious voice: "How many years has Uncle Wu been beating ironware?" ”

"General Rongyu, Xiao Lao'er used to be a craftsman in the Bianliang Ordnance Department, but because he offended Shangguan, he was framed and driven out, and he was exiled to the Daimyo."

"Oh, no wonder the knife made by the old man is so sharp." Liu Ping said.

Liu Ping asked with a gentle face: "Uncle Wu, would you like to come to my barracks to make ordnance?" ”

"This! Little old man, thank you general. Me and my unfilial sons will definitely build the best weapons for the general! Blacksmith Wu didn't expect to meet a noble person today, so he knelt down straight and looked excited.

"Hurry up, please, I can't help it." Liu Ping hurriedly picked up Blacksmith Wu. Secretly, I picked up a treasure today.
