"From today on, all members of the Longqi Army will cancel all rest periods, and all those who have left the camp will be recalled!"
"Inform all the battalions, capitals, teams, and fire officers and soldiers that starting from this moment, the entire army will be under martial law. Each battalion will respond to its personnel, regardless of combat auxiliary. Entry and exit will be restricted, and everyone will perform their duties. Violators will be punished according to military law!"
"..."
Accompanied by Ma Quanyi and two other army commanders, Liu Chengyou personally inspected several camps. Standing on the high base in the camp, looking down at the entire camp, Liu Chengyou said to those who were following him in an unquestionable tone. These generals ordered. The words were spoken so fast that it was unclear whether the three of them had heard everything, but they simply responded in acknowledgment.
"In addition, although military discipline has been improved, I have observed that the lieutenants and officers in the army are still lazy and slack after training. We have to find some fun for them to relieve the boredom of the military camp!" After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou added.
After Liu Chengyou finished speaking, the eyes of the commander of the Longqi Second Army on the left suddenly lit up and he responded immediately. However, this man obviously had a wrong idea, and his rough face showed some wretchedness. Hehehe said: "Military Commander, I heard that some prostitutes were summoned in the prison army not long ago. Do we want to also..."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill in his body. He raised his eyes to face Liu Chengyou's cold and testing eyes, and swallowed back the second half of the sentence. Staring at the commander indifferently, I felt helpless in my heart. With the quality of such officers, I can control them to fight and kill people, but I really can't have higher expectations for them.
It wasn't until he saw that the rough man had nowhere to put his hands that Liu Chengyou withdrew his gaze, looked far away, and said faintly: "I found some scholars in Jinyang who were exiled from the Central Plains and Hebei and Hedong, and asked them to enter the military camp and give them to the soldiers. Tell me a story..."
"Tell a story?" The three commanders around him were stunned.
"say what?"
"Tell me about the brutal behavior of the Khitans, tell me about the pain and devastation that the people of the Central Plains are suffering, tell me about your righteousness and integrity... there are too many things you can talk about." Liu Chengyou said calmly, his face seemed to be filled with a sense of joy. Stocks are heavy.
After giving the instructions and taking a few breaths of spring breath, Liu Chengyou's expression returned to normal. One of the guards suddenly ran to the base to report. Liu Zhiyuan sent someone to summon him back to Jinyang quickly. After hearing the report, Liu Chengyou immediately went towards the military tent.
Ma Quanyi followed, but was greeted by two other military envoys to slow down. The commander who had just spoken to Liu Chengyou asked: "Brother Quanyi, you have always been close to the military leader, do you know what he meant just now? Looking for those useless scholars A scholar comes to tell stories to the brothers? What's the use?"
"Exactly!" Another military commander echoed from the side: "I thought that the military leader was considerate and wanted to find some fun for the brothers, but it turned out to be like this!"
Hearing what the two said, Ma Quanyi stopped, looked at them, and said lightly: "You still don't know the temper of the military commander after so long? I will do whatever he orders, is there any discussion left? Is there any room for it?”
"This..." Ma Quanyi choked, and the two commanders looked a little ugly.
Noting the changes in the expressions of the two men, Ma Quanyi continued to say to the man in front of him in a cold voice: "I can't guess what the military commander is thinking. But I admire the courage of Commander Sun very much. The military commander has ordered the entire army to impose martial law. Do you still have the heart to think about that shameful thing, do you really not want to die?"
After saying that, Ma Quanyi left the two of them and followed Liu Chengyou's footsteps.
"This kid is so arrogant! Look, it won't be long before he's going to be on top of you and me!" Commander Sun snorted.
"He is lucky, appreciated by nobles, young, and deeply trusted by the military leader. How can veterans like you and me compare?" Another commander muttered, his tone was very sour.
These two military commanders were both senior military veterans who had climbed to the position of commanders through their bravery. He had been relatively polite to Liu Chengyou before, and in order to appease the old soldiers, Liu Chengyou did not clear out the "sickness" of the old army and kept him in the position of commander.
However, these days, with the spread of "meritism" in the military and the accumulation of old and new conflicts, the two have repeatedly complained.
"Hmph!" Commander Sun's brows were full of arrogance: "We have followed the King of Peking for many years and have fought hard with one sword after another. Look, when we go to the battlefield and fight to kill the enemy, we have to rely on old people like you and me! What can those children accomplish?"
"Brother Sun, that boy Ma Quanyi seems to be quite ferocious..."
...
The person sent by Liu Zhiyuan to deliver the message was a young man named Guo Yunming. He was the tooth general who had been serving Liu Zhiyuan. He had a relatively delicate appearance and a pleasing cleverness in his eyes. He had always been very popular.
Wandering back and forth in the military tent, laughing and chatting with Zhang Yanwei, his expression was full of arrogance. He just held a few silver ingots in his arms, and looked at Zhang Yanwei with a kind look. I just secretly despised him in my heart, that a majestic Marquis Yu, the capital of the military, could act so stingy...
When Liu Chengyou entered, Guo Yunming naturally showed a picture of "arrogant at the front and respectful at the back". He had always regarded himself as a servant of the Liu family. When he saw Liu Chengyou, he lowered his eyebrows and saluted with his buttocks raised.
Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Yunming, his cold eyes frightening him. Every time he saw this person, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel a violent killing intent boiling in his heart. You know, according to the normal historical process, Liu Chengyou, the "Han Yin Emperor", was eventually killed by his favorite minister Guo Yunming.
"Lang...Lang Jun." Under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Guo Yun visibly flinched and called out tremblingly.
After all, he did not have the power to take over life and death, let alone the reason to kill without reason, not to mention that he was Liu Zhiyuan's lucky minister. Quickly calming down the murderous intention in his heart, Liu Chengyou looked back and asked in a soft voice: "Why did father call me?"
Guo Yunming immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could calm down his accelerated heartbeat, he humbly replied: "Hui Langjun, it is Wang Jun who has returned from Bianliang and brought back the situation of the Khitan people and the Central Plains. Your Majesty has urgently summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss matters."
"The camp will be handed over to General Zhang! The scholars I invited will take good care of it for me!"
After hearing Guo Yunming's answer, Liu Chengyou said something to Zhang Yanwei, turned around and called his guards to leave the camp: "Go back to Jinyang!"
The Longqi Military Camp was not far from Jinyang. No matter the horse power, they galloped quickly and returned to Jinyang in less than half an hour. When we arrived at the lobby of the palace, there were many civil and military officials in the city, and the meeting was already underway.
A thin figure stood humbly in the hall under the eyes of everyone. Liu Chengyou recognized it at a glance. That was Wang Jun who was on an envoy to Bianliang.
After bowing to Liu Zhiyuan from a distance in the hall, Liu Chengyou quietly walked in, sat down in his seat silently, and pricked up his ears.
Liu Zhiyuan only glanced at Liu Chengyou and then withdrew his gaze. Holding a wooden cane in his hand, he played with it for a while, then placed it casually on the table and looked at Wang Jun: "Is this the gift given to the orphan by the Khitan Lord?"
