...

Although Li Yan said to get drunk, Li Yan still restrained himself after drinking.

After all, the capital of Liaoxi had just come into Li Yan's hands, and there were many internal and external troubles. If all the monarchs and ministers drank too much, the banner on the top of the city might change.

So, just have a drink to add to the fun, and you will rest when you are drunk. There will be opportunities in the future.

With Li Yan proofreading, who else would dare to binge drink sea drinks?

Therefore, almost no one drank too much.

During the banquet, Li Yan called Yue Fei and Han Shizhong to encourage them, and then drank a glass of wine with them.

When the wine was finished, Han Shizhong rubbed his hands, and then hesitated and said: "General Governor, it is really difficult for the infantry to leave the horse army to meet the enemy alone..."

Li Yan has already promised Yang Zaixing 4 good horses, Lu Junyi [-] good horses, Li Zong [-] horses, Chen Liqing, Du Po, and Shi Wengong each made a complete complement and each picked another [-] horses to report to the secret special forces. Three thousand horses, five thousand horses for the Shenji Army, three thousand horses for the Amphibious Army, two thousand horses for the Medical Army, and five thousand horses for the Communication Army. A total of more than [-] horses were promised.

This made Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's eyes hot and anxious!
After several battles, plus what Han Shizhong captured, and what he gained from defeating Liaoxijing, the Liangshan Army got a total of more than 6 good horses.

This number seems to be quite a lot, but there are too many wolves, don't you see, when Li Yan came, two-thirds of them disappeared?
That's why Yue Fei and Han Shizhong had the cheek to beg for it.

Li Yan lowered his voice and said clearly to Yue Fei and Han Shizhong: "The horses can be given to you, and the reserves can also be given to you, but the word "Dai" on your heads will not be removed just because of one or two battles. In those few battles, only the two of you and Wu Jie will be awarded a first-class merit, and you will not be able to become a regular until you have collected three first-class merits."

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong knew that Li Yan mentioned them too quickly before, but now they naturally have to suppress them, otherwise, let alone the situation that there will be no promotion, others will also criticize.

However, it's nothing, they can all see that Li Yan is cultivating them, so as long as they are willing to work hard, they will be promoted sooner or later.

Yue Fei said: "Because of the needs of the situation, we were indeed promoted too fast. The Governor's move is very appropriate. We will not have any ideas. That... the Governor, how many horses can we give us?"

Li Yandao: "You two, Wu Jie, Liu Kai, Zhang Xian, and Wang Yan, each have three thousand horse troops."

Although Yue Fei and Han Shizhong couldn't help but feel a little tired of Zhang Xian and Wang Yan who had won three thousand horses, but they didn't dare to show it, because countless facts have proved that the governor is by no means ordinary wise.

After the boredom passed, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Finally there is a horse army!"——In this era, having a reorganized horse army is a qualitative leap in combat power for an army. No wonder, even those as steady as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are so happy.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong said in unison: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

Li Yan said again: "Tomorrow you can go to the reserve army to pick people. After the first battalion and Tiefutu finish picking horses, you can go pick horses. In addition, you can go to Huangfu Duan to raise horses. The horse army is no match. Army, only by cultivating it with heart can we cultivate a horse army capable of fighting."

Picking first will definitely get more good soldiers and horses, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong said faithfully: "At last, we have gained some more benefits, and it is not in vain for us to talk back to the commander-in-chief."

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong quickly responded, "No!"

After Yue Fei and Han Shizhong left, Li Zhu whispered in Li Yan's ear: "Governor, look." After speaking, Li Zhu pointed Li Yan to Xiao Ang who had already changed Liang Shanbo's clothes, Yelu Foding, Wang Shuoru and others.

Li Yan understood what Li Zhu meant, so he asked Wang Dingliu to call Xiao Ang, Yelu Foding, and Wang Shuoru over.

In fact, these Liao surrenders have been waiting for Li Yan to summon them.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Ding Liudai's words arrived, Xiao Ang, Yelu Foding, and Wang Shuoru immediately stepped forward and said: "My minister, I pay my respects to the governor!"

After Li Yan looked at Xiao Ang, Yelu Foding, and Wang Shuoru one by one, he finally set his sights on Xiao Ang and said: "If you defeat the Lord of Liao, you will gain a lot and capture Xijing City without any loss. , you have made great achievements, which is very good. I don't like to talk falsely, and I never lie to my subordinates. From now on, you will expose all your achievements and crimes. From now on, as long as you are loyal, A lifetime of wealth and honor is bound to be indispensable."

Although Li Yan didn't give him a reward, and didn't even have a word of kindness, somehow, after hearing what Li Yan said, Xiao Ang's heart suddenly became more at ease, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." !"

Li Yan said again: "I heard about your father's hunger strike. You can rest assured that I will not blame your brothers for this matter."

Speaking of it, it may be a joke. Xiao Fengxian, the number one minister of the Liao Kingdom, who was unshirkably responsible for the demise of the Liao Kingdom, even declared that he could not serve after the Liangshan Army captured the city of Xijing. people, and started a hunger strike, and now it has been five or six days without a drop of rice.

Xiao Ang hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you, Commander Long En!"

Li Yan signaled Xiao Ang to get up, and then asked: "I wonder if you want to practice literature or martial arts?"

Xiao Ang said: "I want to follow the text."

Xiao Ang obviously thought it through.

In Xiao Ang's mind, it is inevitable that surrendered generals like them will be suspicious when they go to lead troops, and he is not very good at leading troops, so it is better to be a civil servant honestly.

Li Yandao: "Hey, you should work with Yuanzhen first, and I will arrange a suitable position for you in the future. I won't make you feel wronged."

Xiao Ang bowed to the ground and said, "No!"

Li Yan asked Xiao Ang to stand up, then looked at Yelu Foding again, and said, "You are also an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, I wonder which direction you want to develop?"

Lin Ya of the Liao Kingdom is equivalent to the Imperial Academy of the Song Dynasty. He is a pure civil servant. Therefore, Yelu Foding, who is Lin Ya, is actually a civil servant. Too much.

Yelufo said: "Our Khitan people are not incapable of fighting, but we have no chance to perform. If the governor is a trustworthy minister, I am willing to lead the Khitan warriors to fight for the governor."

Li Yan thought for a while, and said: "Go and recruit Khitan warriors who are willing to serve me, and then I will have people train you. If the training is good, I will form a Khitan army and let you lead it."

Yelu Foding listened and bowed, "No!"

When it was Wang Shuoru's turn, Li Yan said: "You Han people in Yundi have worked hard all these years, and you have been unable to show your talents, and you have been placed at the bottom of society. Now I am here, and I promise that as long as you have talents, you will have the opportunity to show them off. If it is better than Guan Zhongleyi, I will definitely not be stingy in paying homage to the general."

The Liao Kingdom used imperial examinations, official appointments, and marriages to make the Yundi Han people loyal to themselves, but they did not trust the majority of Yundi Han people who were "not of my race" and placed them at the bottom of society. If Li Yan could really do what he did As I said, Wang Shuoru and other Han people in Yundi naturally wanted Li Yan to be the master of Yundi, so Wang Shuoru worshiped: "I have brought hundreds of thousands of Han people in Yundi to thank the governor!"

Li Yan drank a few glasses of wine with Xiao Ang, Yelu Foding, Wang Shuoru and others, and then drank a glass of wine with all the descendants of the Liao Kingdom.

The etiquette of Xiao Ang, Yelu Foding, Wang Shuoru and other surrendered officials of the Liao Kingdom is like the old Khitan etiquette. Every time they raise wine, they have to thank them.

Li Yan did not object to this, and even encouraged them a few more words.

As the banquet drew to a close, Li Yan, who was slightly drunk, left first under the guard of Ruan Xiaoqi and the others, and then returned to the bedroom...
