Chapter 198

The atmosphere in the hall dried, as if cold water was poured on the hot coals, and the temperature dropped instantly.

Liu Aji noticed the cold atmosphere in the hall, paused slightly, and said: "The prince has such a brave general, our family is just curious about him and wants to meet him." ”

"It's just, it's just...... This Cheng Da Lei is a bandit. ”

"I heard. He was originally entrenched in Qingniu Mountain, and it was the prince who recruited him to his command. What about the bandits, who can defeat the Rong people, they are the heroes of the empire. His Majesty Emperor Ming said that this time he could repel the Rong clan, the prince, the city lord of Fang, and Cheng Dalei each accounted for one-third of the credit. The prince has made a great contribution to finding such a talent for the empire. Liu Aji paused, and said to the others present: "Of course, Your Majesty will not forget your merits." ”

"Haha......" Yang Long stopped smiling and said: "Selecting talents for the empire is also what I should do, in fact, because he is a bandit, whether to use him or not, I have also thought about it for a long time, and finally took the risk of using this person." ”

"I also found a great talent for the empire, and I didn't let the good jade bury the mountains. ”

"It should be, it should be. ”

Liu Aji smiled and said, "So, where is this Cheng Dalei, can you let me see it first, Your Majesty actually wants to see it in his heart." ”

"This ...... The vulgar people in the mountains and wilderness do not know how to be polite, and they were originally a thief, for fear of offending Lord Liu, so they will be trained in the future, and then listen to the teachings in front of Gonggong Liu. ”

"Oh well. Liu Aji looked very regretful and said: "Actually, I have one more thing to do this time, this time the Rong people have rebelled and created a lot of killing karma in the empire. The imperial court decided to open a branch to elect martial arts, and now the specific date is still being determined. When the date is set, you have brave generals under your command, don't cherish yourself, you can send them to the capital to participate in the martial arts, and you will meet the heroes of the world for a while. ”

"The imperial court seems to attach great importance to this martial arts?"

"Well, Your Majesty personally decided. ”

......

After everyone dispersed, Yang Longzhu came to Cui Yunjian's room and withdrew his subordinates, Yang Longzhu immediately asked, "Second brother, what is the situation in the capital?"

Yang Longzhu's wife is Cui Yunjian's eldest sister, and the Cui family has a very high status in the capital. In front of outsiders, the two sides discuss official positions, but in private, everyone is their own people, the kind of people who can wear a pair of pants.

Cui Yunjian talked about the recent movements of the capital with Yang Long, probably similar to what Liu Aji said, of course, the same words were said separately from the two mouths, and the meaning underneath was completely different.

In this battle between the empire and the Rong clan, the empire lost so badly that the entire front was stripped of its pants and pressed to the ground and rubbed hard. In the end, the Rong army came to the city, forcing His Majesty the Empire to sign the alliance under the city.

In the case of a total rout, victory is so precious. Emperor Ming, who was so aggrieved that he had been pulling his beard in the palace, suddenly found that there was a Youzhou in the empire, and there was a Qingniu Mountain in Youzhou, and he actually defeated the Rong people and annihilated more than 100,000 enemy troops.

In fact, the confidence of the empire and the Rong clan to quarrel at the negotiating table was completely given by this battle.

Then, for the generals who led the troops in this battle, they naturally wanted to be rewarded, not only rewarded, but also rewarded in front of everyone, so that the people of the entire empire would know: We also have heroes, we also have victories, and we have not lost so badly.

As a result, Yang Longzhu was erected as a typical. And because of this, the Cui family can get a lot of political resources in the court.

As for the upcoming martial arts examination, it was also beaten too badly, and I want to select some talents from below. This is indeed a major event in the empire in recent years.

Cui Yunjian and Yang Long stopped talking for a long time, and there were many other trivial things, such as: A certain imperial history actually went to our Cui family to join us, and I don't know who was behind it.

When so-and-so celebrated his birthday, so-and-so did not go to congratulate him on his birthday in person, but the two families already had a disagreement.

Wait, Cui Yunjian said that his throat was dry, he took a sip of tea, and asked as if he remembered something: "That Cheng Da Lei ...... What's going on?"

"Cheng Dalei is there...... It's not easy. ”

"How...... If he doesn't listen to you, can't you command him? ”

Yang Long stopped and said: Why don't you listen, if you meet, he will kill me with an axe.

He laughed dryly: "It's not that I don't listen to it at all, it's just a bandit, you know, I don't like to be controlled so much." ”

"No, it's important that this person is in your hands. ”

"Well, I understand. Yang Longzhu nodded slightly.

......

Qingniu Mountain, Toad Village.

Now there are only more than 1,000 people left by Cheng Dalei's side, including Xu Shenji, Qin Man, Lin Shaoyu, Lin Chong, Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao and Huang Sanyuan.

The materials left by the Rong people were used to build a cottage, and the address was still on the original Toad Ridge, as for the valley...... Now that there are 100,000 corpses inside, Cheng Dalei is afraid of nightmares when he thinks about it, let alone living in it. As for the financial reports buried in the valley, let's keep them for now, and I won't run away with long legs anyway.

After the Great War, recuperate.

Cheng Dalei has not yet decided whether to bring back the brothers who fled to the south, or rather, everyone will go directly to the south to develop. This place in Youzhou, it is too poor, the commodity economy is extremely underdeveloped, robbing passers-by without a copper plate on their bodies, a question, the old lady is in bed, the child is not full, and his wife scolds him all day long.

Be a thief, grab it like this, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will get poorer and poorer.

The south is good, there are many women in the south of the Yangtze River, and of course, the officers and soldiers are more powerful.

"Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng ......"

There was a sudden cry from the bottom of the mountain, and Qi Deqiang and Li Shanyan were escorted up the mountain by Liu Guanzhang.

"Big boss, these two people said that they came on the orders of the king of Youzhou and wanted to recruit us. ”

"Lao Cheng, don't you recognize me, I'm your brother Xiaoqiang, I still remember that our brothers hit it off at first sight, and it's better to be a brother than a brother. "Qi Deqiang.

"Killed. Cheng Dalei made a throat-slitting gesture

"Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng, have you forgotten me, have you forgotten that we have a long talk on our knees? Brother, I came this time to grant you an official position on the order of the King of Youzhou. ”

"Don't kill them yet, chop off their hands and feet, and throw them in a dung pit. ”

"Lao Cheng, Lao Cheng...... You can't disown your brother, Lao Cheng. Qi Deqiang was first overjoyed when he heard Cheng Dalei's words, then he was startled, his hand was stretched out in the air, and he suddenly shouted: "Master Cheng Zhai, you are willing to be the lord of a city." ”

Cheng Dalei paused, waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to stop first.

"Black Stone, Fallen Leaves, Iron River, Red Sand, choose one. Qi Deqiang said loudly.
