Chapter 96 The Expectation in the Unexpected
"Grandpa Qi is the person I admire the most, and I want to learn from him." Li Ping suddenly said loudly.

He seemed to have suddenly realized that there was an excuse for his army's eccentricity, but he didn't have time to think about it and organize his words, so he had to keep it simple, which also fit his identity as a young man.

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu laughed and stood up, and praised: "Good, good! It's my good fortune to have such a good general."

"The old general is blessed!"

"It really is a hero boy!"

Immediately there were several cheers from the surroundings.

Bet right!
A flash of excitement flashed in Li Ping's heart, and he glanced around involuntarily.

"Come on, don't be so nervous, I've been busy talking to you, haven't you introduced the generals yet?" Zuo Liangyu suddenly stepped forward and patted Li Ping on the shoulder.

In an instant, for some reason, Li Ping felt a lot of affection for Zuo Liangyu.

The veteran looked tall and strong (about 1 meters tall) and his complexion was red and black, but he didn't feel oppressed at all.Both majesty and caring, not put on airs, very casual, proper physical contact makes you feel that this is an older brother.

Li Ping seemed to understand a little bit, why this guy was able to subdue so many well-known generals of the peasant army, and his goodwill was really beyond the ordinary.

But at such a short distance, Li Ping also noticed that Zuo Liangyu's somewhat withered black hair was mixed with a lot of white hair.

Zuo Liangyu's face was obviously tired and wrinkled, and his back was a little bent. He didn't look like a man in his 40s at all, but more like an old man in his 60s or [-]s.

Under Zuo Liangyu's introduction, Li Ping knew that the middle-aged general who interrupted was called Chen Keli, who was also from the Liao Army and is now the deputy commander.

Among the other generals, two were also from the Liao army, serving as deputy generals and generals respectively, but Li Ping couldn't remember, because they really had no special characteristics.

But there were two people Li Ping remembered much more clearly.

One was Jin Shenghuan, whom Li Ping had been paying attention to a long time ago, that brave and ruthless guy.

There is also a lieutenant named Hui Dengxiang, formerly nicknamed "Huntianxing", who was also the leader of the Peasant Army.Although this person looks older, his eyes are very bright, and he is much stronger.

Among the various rebels and bandit armies in the late Ming Dynasty, the leaders of each party often had a resounding nickname, which is a great feature, just like those heroes and tyrants in martial arts novels are embarrassed to come out without nicknames. .

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the whole country was in a mess again, and there were too many leaders, big and small, from all walks of life, and they were too numerous to count.And most of these people are isolated from each other and have little contact with each other, which often causes duplication of nicknames, and it is often possible for several people to use one nickname.

After all the introductions were finished, the Deputy Commander Chen Keli suddenly stepped forward and punched Li Ping in the chest twice.

Seeing that Li Ping just smirked from there, he burst out laughing, and then said: "Boy, that's right. I remember you. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can find me. Don't be embarrassed."

Li Ping hurriedly thanked him, but he didn't take it seriously.

But then Chen Keli went on to say: "Your army has been newly expanded. It seems that there is a shortage of supplies. I heard that you are a fool who doesn't know how to grab things. How about it, I will send you twenty horses, five Ten Fujia, and I will bring you some food, which is my little gift."

Before Chen Keli finished speaking, Li Ping was already stunned, and he shouted in his heart: What kind of way is this?
He looked at Zuo Liangyu, and saw that Zuo Liangyu was also looking at him with a smile.Although he didn't understand where this came from, he still hastily and politely said: "This, how good is this, I can't bear it! It's too heavy."

"You're welcome, I just like you kid, what's the matter. It's all robes, and we will have to help each other on the battlefield in the future. What is this thing!" Chen Keli said carelessly.

Li Ping immediately straightened his body, bowed again and thanked him endlessly.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu, who had already returned to his seat, interjected and said: "The words of Vice President Chen have reached my heart. You are a good boy. You are loyal, righteous, courageous, and resourceful. I like it. It has been a long time ago." I want to meet you kid, this time you came to the city, but I caught you, haha."

"The general is absurd, the last general is just doing his part, and he can't afford to be so highly regarded as a general." Li Ping hastily said humbly.

Zuo Liangyu seemed very easy-going and said: "Okay, don't be too modest, there are no outsiders here. Your department is newly expanded, and it is said that the restrictions are still quite strict, and the original rewards must have bottomed out! Are you still living well? "

"Eh... the whole Mongolian general has been promoted, and the young ones are very grateful. However, there are too many new recruits in our department. This large army, the young ones are panicked when they look at it. It's hard to restrain it, but I'm afraid it's hard to control it. I have to practice every day. They will form an army as soon as possible. There are still some where there is little food and grass, and they can still support them." Li Ping said carefully.

"Well! The supplies are tight, and it is difficult for the civilians to recruit. Everyone is living a hard life. It is the responsibility of me, the general! And you have added so many new soldiers. It is really not easy, and I am really nervous. .

You are right, you are a new general of the first battalion, and you are a newly expanded army, so it is only right to practice hard.In particular, your injury is just right, and it is the time when you return to the army to make up the training camp. It is not enough to lack food and money.How about this, I have prepared some money and food for soldiers, which should be able to relieve your worries, and you can use them to train your troops well. "Zuo Liangyu stared at Li Pingdao.

After Li Ping heard this, he hastily bowed down again and said, "How good this is, the general will be terrified, and there is no way to repay him!"

Zuo Liangyu suddenly became serious and said: "Li Guerrilla, just practice hard. Since you and I are soldiers, we should serve the court and the country. Money is small, but love is the most important. I, Zuo Liangyu, have been fighting for more than [-] years. How can He De get the help of all the troops, only in faith."

"The general understands that after I return to the camp, I will step up my drills and be at the command of the general at any time, and I am willing to die for the general." Li Ping said loudly.

"I'm lucky to have you help me." Zuo Liangyu nodded appreciatively.

……

After leaving Zuo Liangyu's mansion, Li Ping couldn't relax for a long time. He kept thinking about the various scenes of seeing Zuo Liangyu just now.

What happened suddenly, many of his words today were inappropriate and not very good, mainly because he never carefully considered how to talk to Zuo Liangyu, what to say and what not to say.

Fortunately, he didn't dare to say much, so the problem shouldn't be too big.

But Zuo Liangyu suddenly asked him to talk to him this time, it was really worth pondering, and more information was leaked, a little unexpected, but it didn't seem too surprising, especially after listening to Zhao Jin's introduction.

Inviting his cronies and generals to meet, appreciating in public and rewarding them again is more to send a signal to the outside, and I don't know what it has to do with my cold encounter with Zuo Menggeng yesterday?
If so, the old guy's reaction is really fast enough. If he refuses to accept it, the average person would probably be flattered already.

The deputy chief soldier Chen Keli gave him a big gift in the name of friendship, it was definitely not a willful act, judging by his smoothness, he was already prepared.

Chen Keli's famous name, Li Ping, has also been heard of. Although he has never seen him before, if Li Ping, this kind of big boss, has never heard of him, then he is just looking for trouble!However, this guy is also said to be a restless master, not so forthright.It should be Zuo Liangyu's prior instruction to give gifts upon meeting.

In any case, there were twenty horses!It's really a good thing, what he lacks most is this thing.

While he was thinking about it, Hu Zhongshan came over excitedly, followed by He Zhuzi with a big package on his body.

Before Li Ping left Zuo Liangyu's mansion, a steward of Zuo Liangyu's mansion stopped Li Ping. He was ordered by Zuo Liangyu to hand over the reward to Li Ping.Of course, it's not easy for Li Ping to directly deal with this manager in this kind of matter, it also seems that he is too level-headed.So Li Ping found Hu Zhongshan and He Zhuzi who were waiting outside the mansion to meet with the steward, while he himself waited not far from the mansion.

At this time, Hu Zhongshan couldn't hide his excitement. He looked at the soldiers who were guarding separately on the periphery. He was a little excited and had to lower his voice and said to Li Ping:
"Sir, the commander-in-chief really took good care of you. The officer gave me a package in advance, which is the one on Assistant He's body, which is full of gold, silver and jewels, and asked us to tell the general that this is the commander-in-chief's selfish intention. I also hope not to talk to outsiders as much as possible.

There are also ten horses, some weapons and armor, and a hundred stones of food, but the manager of these things has not come to prepare them in a hurry, and it will be ready at a later date. Let us go there at that time and make an appointment for the place of delivery .Take a look at the big buns, gold, silver and jewelry first, good guy, we both looked at them, they are all good things! "

"No need, just put it away. Since the person in charge said it, you must watch your mouths." Li Ping waved to Hu Zhongshan who was about to open the package.

"Oh! I understand. Don't worry about this, I won't be confused about such things." Hu Zhongshan quickly withdrew his hand, and then saw Li Ping's indifferent face, and felt even more unfathomable.

So he went on to say: "By the way, sir, a steward of Vice President Chen also came to me, saying that Vice President Chen gave you the greeting and asked us to go to him in the future to receive it, and leave it behind." Get off the spot."

"Okay, I got it. You arrange for the two of you to go back immediately, and let the transportation company come over to prepare for the reception in the next day. You can estimate how many vehicles and horses are needed. This is a matter for your logistics department. You are responsible for the entire material reception. At the same time, dispatch The 3rd company came to escort the package, and after taking the package of gold and silver back, it was directly handed over to the Song Yingguan." After thinking about it, Li Ping made arrangements.

On the way to Xiangyang City, Li Ping continued to think about things in silence.

Judging from the amount of things, Chen Keli obviously had a lot more than Zuo Liangyu, and what Zuo Liangyu gave him was only mediocre.But this just reflects Zuo Liangyu's special ability to control people, and that bag of gold, silver and jewelry is the finishing touch for Zuo Liangyu to buy people's hearts.

And the stewards of Zuo Liangyu and Chen Keli explained matters to them at the same time, probably to tell Li Ping that these were all arranged by him, Zuo Liangyu. reward him.

It seems that it is really well prepared!
Of course, the most important thing about all these arrangements is to tell Li Ping that they have accepted him and let him follow along with peace of mind...

Li Ping kept turning his head. He wondered if he was thinking too much. Maybe other people are very simple and not so complicated, but he is the only one who is complicated.

Soon, Li Ping crossed the river again and returned to Xiangyang City.

However, as soon as he entered the city, a servant stopped He Zhuzi, and it seemed that the two knew each other.

After the two muttered a few words, He Zhuzi immediately came up and reported in a low voice, "Mrs. Zuo is here."
