They are all good drinkers. Among this group of people, Zhao Kuangyin especially has the best drinking capacity. However, they all maintain restraint. When the alcohol reaches a certain level, they all subconsciously stop drinking and stop drinking. They all behave in unison and use barbecue to enhance the conversation.
The tent was opened again, this time with great force. A cold wind swept the grass clippings and hit the tent directly. The coolness invaded his face. Zhao Yanjin couldn't help but shiver and opened his mouth to curse. However, when he saw the elegant general who came in, he stopped talking.
"See Murong Du's deployment!" The generals stood up immediately and bowed neatly.
Entering the tent, it was Murong Yanzhao who was deployed for this camp. After a brief scan of the scene in the tent, Murong Yanzhao showed a kind yet majestic smile and asked: "Would you like to have a good drink, please?" Is it good to eat?"
After looking at each other, Gao Huaide took the initiative and said: "Thanks to your majesty's reward, I will have enough to eat and drink."
Zhao Yanjin relaxedly invited Murong Yanzhao: "There is still some food and wine. Would General Murong want to share it with the generals and others?"
Pausing for a moment on Zhao Yanjin's drunken face, Murong Yanzhao's expression became solemn, his voice rose, and he called out: "Zhao Yanjin, Zhao Kuangyin!"
"Here!" The two people named immediately stiffened their backs and responded loudly.
"You two accompany Bendu to Jintou. The Huazhou government has prepared Fuliang and needs to inspect it in preparation for crossing the river tomorrow. No mistakes will be made!" Murong Yanzhao ordered.
"It's late at night. You are patrolling the camps in shifts. Be vigilant and don't neglect! Over at the imperial camp, there should be no delays in taking turns. Those who miss the deadline will be killed!" He also ordered to the remaining Gao Huaide and others.
"Yes!" A group of young generals responded in unison, with very solemn expressions. No one dared to show off in front of Murong Yanzhao.
They are not fools. Although they are valued by the emperor, they still know something in their hearts. The people in front of them are the emperor's true confidants.
Murong Yanzhao turned around and left. Zhao Yanjin and Zhao Kuangyin immediately picked up their bags and put them on their heads, carrying steel knives on their shoulders, and followed him out. Although Zhao Yanjin usually talks a little frivolously, when he gets serious, he shows off his ability and behaves appropriately, just like Liu Chengyou fell in love with him at a glance when he first met this person.
Murong Yanzhao was also very satisfied with these young generals in the tent, and was particularly impressed by Liu Chengyou's way of looking at people. Among these people, they are all talented generals with great potential.
Murong Yanzhao was previously ordered to return to the capital to take charge of the army. In addition to being promoted and rewarded, what was more important was that he was summoned to the palace and had an in-depth talk with him. With his innermost thoughts, he consulted him on the strategy of the Southern Expedition, and exchanged ideas with him on the future development of the Forbidden Army. One of them was to promote young generals with potential in a targeted manner.
On this tour, he brought Gao Huaide and others with him, and Liu Chengyou told Murong Yanzhao to pay more attention to these people during the trip.
The situation of the camp, with Commander-in-Chief Murong Yanzhao, is enough to reassure Liu Chengyou. At the imperial camp, Liu Chengyou, Guo Congyi and other Huazhou officials had already taken a break after a brief banquet and conversation.
There is a map of Hebei hanging in the imperial tent. It is already a relatively detailed map. The cities, main roads, mountains, rivers, forests, and especially the southern Yishui line of the various states in Hebei mark the deployment of troops, city defense and other important points. Military information. The Northern Patrol had just begun. Although Liu Chengyou had not crossed the river yet, his thoughts had already drifted to the north.
In front of the emperor, a low-level officer of the Forbidden Army who exuded a simple and unpretentious atmosphere simply reported the gathering of Gao Huaide and other generals. Every word and deed was recorded.
"I understand! Stand down!" Liu Chengyou nodded lightly and gestured to Zhang Dejun: "Reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After hearing the report, Liu Chengyou's focus turned to Zhao Kuangyin's communication skills, which were indeed good. However, he did not show more suspicion. There were many popular generals in the army. Liu Chengyou could not let all his ministers become lonely ministers. He just paid a little more attention to him because of the reputation of "Song Taizu".
He stopped and stared at the map for more than a quarter of an hour. It wasn't until Zhe Xiaoniang personally brought a basin of steaming water into the tent that Liu Chengyou came back to his senses.
"Officials, it's late, it's time to take a rest!" Zhe Xiaoniang looked at Liu Chengyou with open eyes and said softly.
Looking at the young lady of the Zhe family, with the hot steam rising in front of her beautiful face, Liu Chengyou felt a little touched for no reason and said, "Then let's rest."
The girl suddenly showed a happy smile.
While the servants in the tent were sorting out the map, Liu Chengyou was sitting on the side of the camp couch that was simply covered with a soft mattress. He took off his shoes and socks and stepped on the basin. Zhe Xiaoniang rolled up her sleeves, knelt on his side, and wiped Liu Chengyou's clothes herself.
In winter, soak your feet before going to bed. The taste is particularly refreshing. Coupled with the beauty's company, Liu Chengyou felt exhausted. Of course, the wife of the Zhe family's service skills are not excellent, but the most important thing is her heart. Although this was a matter of course for a female tiger to bend down and serve, Liu Chengyou still felt a new emotion in his heart.
With his eyes closed slightly, Liu Chengyou casually chatted with Miss Zhe, saying that she did not need her to serve her personally, but she refused. He raised his jade cheeks and told Liu Chengyou very seriously that he was entrusted by the queen and did not dare to neglect.
At this time, in Liu Chengyou's eyes, Miss Zhe was more heroic and heroic than before, which moved him even more...
Liu Chengyou originally had the idea of washing Zhe Xiaoniang's feet, but he gave up on second thought. After all, this kind of treatment and this kind of grace was something that even Dafu had never enjoyed before.
Of course, on this cold night, Liu Chengyou slept on the same bed as Zhe Xiaoniang. Meijiao Niang personally inherited Enlu, which had only been slightly cultivated before, but this time Liu Chengyou did a lot of in-depth cultivation...
Strong body, delicate, plump, round, slender...
All with the spirit of craftsman, careful feeling and careful understanding.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chengyou, in a slightly tired state, ordered to set off, and with the courtesy of Huazhou Civil and Military Officers, he continued his northern patrol.
The preparations for crossing the river were well prepared, and it only took more than an hour. More than 3,000 people, including a team of mules and horses, successfully completed the crossing.
After crossing the river and setting foot on the land on the north bank of the Yellow River, this northern tour truly begins.
Both sides of the river are the country's most sacred land, with prosperous culture and developed economy, especially the Yedu area. In the process of changing from chaos to governance, the recovery speed is very fast.
It was nearly two years later that Liu Chengyou set foot on the land of Hebei again. Compared with when he followed the army to fight against rebellion, his mentality this time was different. The biggest difference was that he came as a master to inspect him. territory.
No longer asking for speed, Liu Chengyou stopped from time to time to inspect the countryside and inquire about the people's conditions on the road to Yedu. Compared with the original impression, the most intuitive feeling is the restoration of order.
