Chapter 38 Rewards

When the skirmish at the North Sentinel broke out, Liu Chengyou was talking to Murong Yanzhao in his tent.Famous generals are famous generals. It didn't take long for this new Fourth Army of Long Qi to be trained to look good. Although it was not a strong soldier, it was beginning to take shape.

Hearing that the prefect Xue Qiong personally escorted the supplies to the camp, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised.

At the beginning of the day when he went south, Liu Chengyou had already met Xue Qiong.The official reputation of this person is not good among the people. He has a violent personality, is domineering, treats others harshly, is greedy for money, and his relatives often oppress the good.

However, there is one thing to say, even if there are various shortcomings, under the governance of Xue Qiong, the overall livelihood of the people in Liaozhou is relatively peaceful.In this era of continuous wars, for ordinary Qianshou, the days that can be lived have been divided into periods, so under the rule of Liaozhou, it is quite calm.

In the past few years under Xue Qiong's governance, Liaozhou's treasury has gradually increased, and a lot of money has been turned over to Jinyang, which is quite favored by Liu Zhiyuan.Liu Chengyou led the army to the south, and the logistics transportation depended on his strength. Such practical talents were enough for Liu Chengyou to ignore those shortcomings.

Besides, those shortcomings are not a big problem.Compared with those officials and generals who blindly exploited the people with public and private profits, Xue Qiong still had some "bottom lines".Therefore, Liu Chengyou's attitude towards Xue Qiong is still kind.

"His Royal Highness, this time the official brought [-] carts of grains, three carts of rice and noodles, five carts of quilts and shoes, three carts of grass fodder, two carts of oil, wax, and more than ten heads of pigs and sheep. Because of His Highness's military order, I did not dare to bring it here." In the military tent, Xue Qiong personally reported to Liu Chengyou.

The bonus effect of identity is very big. In front of Liu Chengyou, Xue Qiong is not arrogant at all, and her eyebrows are pleasing to the eye.It's a pity that all I saw was that overly calm face.

After listening to it, Liu Chengyou nodded, paused, and then said plainly: "There is Lao Xue to envoy!"

"Don't dare, it's what a subordinate should do." Xue Qiong responded quickly.

"After all, this is the fourth time to transport baggage!" Liu Chengyou showed a contemplative look, pondered for a while, and asked, "Is it beyond Jinyang's scheduling needs?"

"His Royal Highness is wise." Hearing this, Xue Qiong put on a flattering smile and explained: "This time, Xiaguan purchased from the Liaozhou government treasury, and also has the prestige of the state, business travel, and donated funds to help the army. ."

There was a flicker of fluctuation in the calm eyes, and the scrutiny eyes fell on him again. Those cold eyes can easily cause discomfort.Seeing that Xue Qiong was uneasy, Liu Chengyou said slowly, "Xue Shijun, you have a heart."

"His Royal Highness led Hedong Hu Shi to seek Khitan, save the people from water and fire, and the lower officials and others should help themselves to support the king's teacher!" Xue Qiong said these righteous and dignified words quite smoothly.

However, Liu Chengyou had no intention of listening to these innocuous remarks.Liu Chengyou also knew in his heart that those who donated funds to Liaozhou fame might not be voluntary.Perhaps, Xue Qiong also withheld part of it.However, Liu Chengyou did not intend to delve into it.

After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou said: "Xue Shijun has worked hard! It is inconvenient in the army, and I will rest in Xiuting Town."

"Yes!" Xue Qiong was very sensible: "Xiaguan has retired."

However, when resigning, there was no intention to move his feet, but a slightly hesitant expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said casually, "What else is there to do, Shijun?"

"I don't know who is the commander of the Fourth Army of Longqi?" Xue Qiong asked.

Under Liu Chengyou's gaze, Murong Yanzhao stood up and handed over to Xue Qiong: "Last commander Murong Yanzhao."

Looking at Murong Yanzhao up and down, Xue Qiong said with a light smile, "General Murong manages the army well.

Hearing this, Murong Yanzhao's face was a little surprised. He praised him, but he didn't understand why, so he should say: "Your Majesty praises me, I will be ashamed to be worthy of it at the end."

However, Liu Chengyou heard something meaningful and said, "Xue Shijun's words seem to have an overtone, so you can speak bluntly."

Xue Qiong changed her face suddenly, bowed at Liu Chengyou's body, complained bitterly in an angry tone, and recounted the matter of the North Sentinel inspection.

After listening to his narration, Liu Chengyou frowned slightly, then turned his head and instructed Murong Yanzhao, "Go check if it is as Xue Shijun said."

"Yes!" Murong Yanzhao glanced at Xue Qiong and left.

While paying attention to Liu Chengyou's expression, there seemed to be a slight change in sternness. Xue Qiong was slightly overjoyed, and continued to say angrily: "Military regulations and military disciplines can also be understood by lower officials. For outsiders and suspicious people, you should be good at investigating them. To be prepared for the unexpected. But the people who are escorted in the state have to come and go only once, so why do they need to check again and again? Isn’t this superfluous and deliberately embarrassing. And in the case of the subordinate officials revealing their identities, the capital Yang Ye and his subordinates are still humiliated, He also uttered threatening words."

"The troops and horses are not moved, and the food and grass will go first. It's okay for the subordinate to be wronged, but the transportation needs are related to the military situation and war. If the time is delayed, the subordinate can't afford to eat it. Besides, if Sergeant Longqi, a human being If you are like this, the lower official is afraid that it will ruin your prestige, Your Highness."

Liu Chengyou silently listened to Xue Qiong pouring out his grief, and only regained his senses when he finished speaking.After pondering for a while, he raised his hand to appease: "The people below are indeed going too far, and Xue Shijun has been wronged. In this way, you can rest in Xiuting Town for the time being. I will investigate clearly, and I will definitely explain!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After receiving an affirmative reply from Liu Chengyou, Xue Qiong resigned very wisely this time.

After he retired, Liu Chengyou quickly blinked his eyes a few times and said lightly, "I just realized that I still have some prestige."

"His Royal Highness has long praised Hedong, and he has his own prestige." Zhang Yanwei echoed.

Not long after, Murong Yanzhao returned, saluted, and reported, "Your Highness, I will ask Yang Ye at the end of the day, and everything is exactly as the Inspector Xue said."

"This Yang Dutou has a great reputation, and he is indeed very courageous!" Liu Chengyou's tone was a little playful.

The Fourth Army was "innately deficient", with a strength of only five hundred people, so it directly governed four hundred capitals.Among the four capitals, Yang Ye was the most brave, and the first capital he led was also the most powerful.Yang Ye's reputation in the Fourth Army was already very loud.

A little suspicious of Liu Chengyou's attitude, Murong Yanzhao couldn't help but defend his words: "His Royal Highness, Yang Ye strictly obeys the military orders and is loyal to his duties. On the contrary, it was the Inspector Xue, who was arrogant and respectful, and almost forced his way into the military camp."

Seeing that Murong Yanzhao's tone was a little anxious, Liu Chengyou waved his hand to stop him, took a breath, turned his head and asked Guo Rong, who was by his side, "What do you think of this?"

"As Xue Qiong said, if Sergeant Longqi is like this, then the world can go!" Guo Rong replied affirmatively, unable to conceal his approval in his tone.

"How to deal with Yang Ye?"

"What about disposal? Yang Ye and his subordinates, His Highness should reward them!" Guo Rong followed Liu Chengyou's words and solemnly clasped his fists.

"Then reward!" Liu Chengyou spoke decisively at a faster speed.

At this time, Zhang Yanwei reminded Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness, you just promised that Xue Qiong to give him an explanation."

"It's easy to handle!" Liu Chengyou said, "It's enough to reward them together."

"What is your Highness going to reward?" Zhang Yanwei was a little curious.

"Yang Ye and his subordinates, under the command of Murong, prepare some meat and reward me!"

After a brief pause, Liu Chengyou touched his bare chin and pondered for a while, then looked at Guo Rong: "As for Xue Qiong, you should be late, take a copy of the Dragon Qi military law that was initially determined and send it to him!"

Listening to Liu Chengyou's arrangement, the three people in the tent couldn't help but glance at each other, and soon they showed a little smile.

"Yes!"
