Chapter 99 Two Talents
On Luancheng's side, with Liu Chengyou's continuous invitation to buy people's hearts, the atmosphere in the camp became much more harmonious, and the military and people's hearts became more peaceful.

The expansion of the Longqi Army is progressing very smoothly. In addition to the effective handling of his generals and the willingness to reorganize the soldiers of the Jin army, treatment and rewards are also very important. It is not difficult to buy the soldiers of this era.

And with the absorption and digestion of those Jin troops who surrendered, the hidden danger of too many Yan soldiers immediately dropped a lot, and it was obvious that some of the Yan soldiers had stopped a lot.

Liu Chengyou heard something through the eyeliner he bought from the Yan soldiers. Before the expansion and rectification of the army, many of the generals and academies of the Yan army had secretly stirred up chaos when they saw their money, but Liu Chengyou was very careful and never gave them a chance. .The Jin soldiers completely surrendered, and there is no chance!

By the way, Liu Chengyou organized people to clean up the corpses scattered all over the banks of the Xianshui River. It was too laborious to bury them, so they burned them directly.The weather is already very hot, and it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of epidemics.

A middle-aged scribe, with his hands behind his back, leaned slightly, and looked out cautiously in the heavily fortified surrounding area and the spacious entrance of the military tent.Looking at the sergeant who was regularly patrolling outside, he couldn't help raising his hand to hold the thick mustache on his lips, and sighed: "This Hedong army horse is really strong, and with such a strong army, this world deserves Liu's income!"

The middle-aged scribe is thin and has a Confucian spirit on his body. Looking at his eyebrows, he seems to be a little anxious at this time.His name is Tao Gu, and he was an official in the middle of the late Jin Dynasty.In the chaos of the army, luck was not bad, he survived, and he was placed with a group of Jin ministers.

"This son of the Liu family, at such a young age, can be considered mighty and mighty. With just 8000 people, he defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops. Since ancient times, those who have been able to accomplish this have all been very courageous and bold. Extraordinary!" Tao Gu turned around and walked a few steps in the tent, amazed.

In the past two days, the situation about the Battle of Luancheng has already spread among the military and civilians, and under the secret push, it has spread rapidly.Naturally, these Jin ministers have also heard of it, and literati are always accustomed to commenting on current affairs.

There were still three or four people in the tent, all of whom were courtiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. They were a bit idle, so they agreed with Tao Gu and discussed one or two things.

"It's just—" Tao Gu sighed, swept his eyes, paused, swallowed some unpleasant words that rushed to his throat, and put it another way: "I'm also considered a high-ranking official of the court, these are two It’s getting too late, and I won’t meet one or two, so I’ll just hang us here…”

Hearing Tao Gu's words, an official said, "But I heard that Duke Feng and Duke Li are quite treated by the Second Prince!"

"Haha..." Tao Gu pursed his lips and used self-deprecation to cover up a little embarrassment: "It seems that I'm still a low-ranking and low-ranking person, and I'm not taken seriously, but it's reasonable."

In the tone, a little pantothenic acid.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a movement outside, and the sound of the scales rubbing was very clear. An officer walked in and casually cupped his hand: "Which one is Tao Gu, Tao Sheren?"

At first glance, the visitor looked like a warrior, a lower-ranking officer, a little arrogant, not very polite, and his eyes were inclined.Seeing this, several people in the tent all looked at Tao Gu subconsciously.

Looking at the fierce look on the officer's face, Tao Gu's heart was also stunned, but his mental quality was good. He quickly adjusted and asked cautiously, "It's Tao Gu who is the lower official. I don't know the general, why are you looking for me?"

The officer's eyes widened, he looked around Tao Gu, and greeted directly: "His Royal Highness summons, then come with me!"

"Ah?" Tao Gu was slightly startled and was about to ask a question, but the officer didn't give him the chance and turned away.

Seeing this, Tao Gu regained his senses, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes. He neatly adjusted his robes, straightened his head, and quickly followed with small steps. That solemn appearance, how could he have spoken before. "Anger" to complain.

On the way, he carefully handed a piece of jade, Tao Gu inquired about the identity of the officer, Liu Chengyou's personal captain.

After some flattering remarks, Tao Gu cautiously and tentatively asked, "I am a low-ranking official, I don't know how His Royal Highness knew about me?"

The captain didn't take it seriously, and replied directly: "It seems that the former prime minister named Li Song recommended it!"

Hearing this, Tao Gu completely relaxed, and silently praised Li Song in his heart.In fact, Li Song has always been Tao Gu's benefactor in his career. He was discovered by Li Song before he was able to serve in the Later Jin court.

"His Royal Highness, this is the list of officers above the top of each army after the training adjustment!" In the central army tent, Zhang Yanwei and Guo Rong, the two current first and second leaders of the Longqi Army, jointly reported to Liu Chengyou.

After taking the list, Liu Chengyou directly skipped the generals above the corps level. Those were basically appointed by him directly, and they were nothing to watch. The focus was on the officers at the battalion and the capital level. The construction of officers at this level is particularly important.

After Guo Rong's narration, Liu Chengyou gradually became aware of it.During the first battle of Luancheng, there were too many casualties among mid-level and lower-level officers, and they were basically promoted according to their military merits. After some adjustments, the original Longqi officers and soldiers were basically promoted.

In addition, some officers of the Jin army remained in office after being briefed. This is also a measure to appease the military. After all, it is necessary to pay attention to eating and maintaining harmony and stability.

Liu Chengyou paid special attention to Yang Ye's name, commanding the Zuoying of Ma Jun.With so many war horses captured, it is simply sorry for not expanding the scale of the cavalry.However, there were quite a few people in the army who could ride horses, and there were too few cavalry warriors, so it took a lot of effort to pick them out, and only a horse army of [-] cavalry was formed, divided into four battalions, left and right, front and rear.

And Yang Ye, relying on his accumulated military exploits in a short period of time, coupled with the opportunity of this military expansion, finally made a breakthrough and became a mid-level officer.The speed of the upgrade is really not slow, and Liu Chengyou, who was rumored in the military, did not attract too many jealous eyes.

Because there are people who are rising faster than him, such as Yang Ye's Shangguan Han Tong, such as Guo Rong who is standing in front of Liu Chengyou at this time, such as Murong Yanzhao who has become the commander of the right wing of the Long Qi Army.These three are either rich in experience or destined to have a high starting point, but they all have one thing in common, sufficient ability.

"This Li Yun?" Liu Chengyou looked at the two with a bit of doubt when he saw that there was a pending note after Li Yun's name.

This time, Zhang Yanwei took the initiative to say: "His Royal Highness, regarding Li Yun, the last general thought that a new general should be assigned the command of a battalion. However, Guo Yuhou believes that he should be entrusted with the post of an army."

Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Rong, Guo Rong's expression showed a kind of vigor, and said: "The last general thought that Jin soldiers were newly incorporated into our army, but they were promoted and demoted, but no one was above the command of the army. Even if it is difficult to achieve It is absolutely fair, and it needs to be as convincing as possible.”

"Li Jun, who has worked in Tang and Jin Dynasties, has a very rich experience in the forbidden army, and is good at riding and archery, brave and good at fighting. Your Highness may wish to take him as a model, treat him with kindness, and show his sincerity. What's more, Your Highness He was sent to recruit Jin soldiers, and the Jin soldiers served, and he also deserved credit!"

After listening to Guo Rong's explanation, Liu Chengyou pondered for a while and waved his hand: "Li Yun is good at riding and shooting, so he will be the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the horse army, and go with Han Tong!"

Hearing this, Guo Rong also thought about it for a while, and immediately praised: "Your Highness is wise."

Seeing that Liu Chengyou accepted Guo Rong's opinion again and denied his own idea, Zhang Yanwei was a little embarrassed by his side, his face changed, and his eyelids slowly lowered.Yu Guang swept back and forth between Liu Chengyou and Guo Rong, sighing silently in his heart, this army is really the world of young people.

He picked up the pen, signed the instructions on the list, opened the box on Shuai's case by the way, took out his big seal of the capital, put it on, picked it up, took a breath, and ordered an official beside him to hand it over to Zhang Yanwei, and ordered : "On this list, Gu has no opinion."

After a little pondering, his eyes flashed, Liu Chengyou added: "The above officers, I want to meet them in person!"

This remark made Guo Rong stunned, frowning and thinking for a while, as if he had gained something, and bowed respectfully: "Yes. I will arrange this at the end."

"There is one more thing that needs to be reported to Your Highness!" Guo Rong said again before leaving.

"What's the matter?"

"Just now, Li Chongju, the commander and envoy of Li, has just sought the crime of the last general," Guo Rong said.

Liu Chengyou was stunned, as if there was an accident, but also as if he was expected, Li Chongju did not seem to forget his casual mention that night.

Touching his chin that had been cleaned up very smoothly, Liu Chengyou asked curiously, "How did you deal with it?"

"The last general will combine his merits and demerits, and he will stick to twenty. After His Highness confirms, it can be executed!" Guo Rong calmly asked Liu Chengyou for instructions.

Li Chongju was Liu Chengyou's guard officer after all, and Guo Rong seemed to be quite measured.

"Precise!" Liu Chengyou stated directly.

After Guo Rong retired, Liu Chengyou once again lowered his head to study the map, stared at Zhending, and stared blankly for a while before asking the clerk beside him: "Mr. What choice, how to act?"

Mr. Wei, referring to Wei Renpu.Xiang Xun was sent by Liu Chengyou to command the army, and he needed a staff advisor. When he met Feng Dao and Li Song earlier, Liu Chengyou asked.Feng Dao recommended Wei Renpu, and Li Song recommended Tao Gu.

Wei Renpu left a good impression on Liu Chengyou when he gathered the people to work. During the communication, he also felt the extraordinaryness of this person. No matter what Liu Chengyou said or asked, he always answered fluently and proposed own opinion.Having a good impression in his heart, Liu Chengyou directly accepted him as a military assistant and granted him the post of joining the army.

Wei Renpu was arranging some documents beside him, and after hearing the question, he stopped his movements and replied: "If the Liao army is calm enough, they will withdraw from China as soon as possible!"

"Why?"

I thought that Wei Renpu would conduct an in-depth analysis of the situation in the Central Plains and Hebei and the situation of the two armies, but Wei Renpu replied simply: "The Liao Lord collapsed in Luan City, how can there be no domestic owner, and Focus on national warriors."

Liu Chengyou understood, nodded his head, and his tone was playful: "Before, I had some concerns, the Liao army that was really determined would attack south regardless of everything. Now, I hope that it can come south!"

"His Royal Highness, there are still quite a few Khitan troops in various states. If you want to weaken their strength, you can focus on this part of the enemy army!" Wei Renpu proposed voluntarily.

"Gu, that's exactly what it means!" Liu Chengyou replied.

During the conversation, the person who came to the tent reported: "Tao Gu brought it!"

"Please!"

For Tao Gu, Liu Chengyou finally aroused the vague memory in his mind. This gentleman, when Zhao Kuangyin usurped the Zhou Dynasty, took the initiative to write the edict of Zen, and presented it to Zhao Da's "Chen Qiao Mutiny" scene. person.

When Tao Gu was summoned, in front of Liu Chengyou, this person behaved very cautiously, except that he was too submissive, there was nothing particularly uncomfortable about him.

He was accompanied by Wei Renpu, and chatted with him casually. Liu Chengyou gave Tao Gu a task: "Listen to the Duke of Li, Tao She is a person who has a good knowledge of scriptures and history, is good at writing articles, and has a brilliant literary talent."

"Li Gongmiao praised!" Tao Gu pretended to be humble when praised, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, clearly with a little pride.

"Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, China has been deeply suppressed by the Khitan. I was ordered by the Son of Heaven, and all the troops in Hebei were unified to fight against the Liaoning. In the battle of Luancheng, the soldiers fought bravely, which was a rare victory in decades, which greatly boosted morale. Promoting it well. I want to invite Tao Sheren to write an essay, spread the sight of Hebei, call the military and civilians of various states, and kill the Hu prisoners!"

Liu Chengyou made a request, but he never thought that Tao Gu would refuse, but he didn't expect that he asked for a pen and paper. After a little deliberation, he wrote and swiped the words in front of Liu Chengyou, almost instantly.

Tao Gu, still has a good pen.
