Chapter 942

"Now that the enemy is in front of us, how can we fight among ourselves? The death of a Taiwei is a trivial matter, but you can't let your subordinates sacrifice their lives in vain. These are all soldiers of our Tang Dynasty. Even if one person is injured, the subordinate officer will inevitably feel sad. And if you die at the hands of the enemy in battle, it is a worthy death, but if you die at the hands of your own people..."

"I'm going to kill you today..." Liu Yanzhen stretched out his hand and drew out the knife. Huangfu Jixun sent Liu Yanzhen's knife back with a light stroke. Liu Yanzhen still felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

"General Huangfu, you heard it too. It's not that I don't give you face. This bastard doesn't know how to speak human words."

Huangfu Jixun said: "Liu Taiwei, General Liu has a common saying that the same surname is three-thirds relatives, you two should not say a word, I beg you as an old man. It is not a big deal at first, don't make everyone unhappy. How about taking a step back ? Taiwei Liu is doing me a favor, let’s drink it in my room after we get home, and let no one know.”

"No, but if you are in Shouzhou, as long as the subordinate officials know that someone is drinking, they will definitely kill you. General Huangfu, we have something to say beforehand. You can come to help, but everything is arranged by the subordinate officials, and you agree very much when the military order is issued. It’s not that the lower officials are serious, how can the military orders be violated like a mountain? If you are a general and don’t set an example, how can you control the world’s soldiers and horses?”

Huangfu Jixun said: "It's okay, it's fine if you don't know you, right? Let's find a place where you don't know to drink."

"Okay~ But if the subordinate officials find out, General Huangfu, you may not be able to keep your head. The subordinate officials will use all the troops in Shouzhou to capture you. Even if the Zhou army attacks the city, the subordinate officials will not defend you. City, until you take down your top leader."

"Taiwei, let's go out to drink."

Huangfu Jixun really can't do anything about this obsession. Although military orders are like mountains, sometimes they can be flexible.However, there was no way to do this, because Huangfu Jixun knew that Liu Renshan was a descendant of the Legalist family.

The biggest characteristic of legalism is that it strictly enforces the law and never engages in favoritism or fraud.Although he already knew about this result, Huangfu Jixun originally thought that the friendship of these few months would allow Liu Yanzhen to give him a little face, but he really didn't give face...

In fact, Huangfu Jixun still admired Liu Renshan a lot. As the general of the world's soldiers and horses, he was also a first-class martial arts master. Others were too late to flatter him, but Liu Renshan really didn't have any flattery.This also shows that no matter how big or small his official position is, he will never show favoritism.Also, he would not break his own principles because of his friendship. If there were more officials like this in the court, Datang would have fought for hegemony long ago. Why did he let this brat, Chai Rong, come and attack him?

Liu Yanzhen chuckled lightly and said, "Liu Renshan, General Huangfu has already said it like this, you still don't want to give face, this is your territory, right, and I don't want to fight with you. But...you can't control my soldiers, I You don’t have to worry about the food and military pay in your hand, right, if you can get a grain of rice, I’ll kneel on the ground and kowtow to you as grandpa.”

"Liu Taiwei, listen to my advice..."

Liu Yanzhen waved his hand and said: "General Huangfu, you have seen this matter clearly and clearly. Don't you know who is right and wrong? Anyway, there is still a lot of food and grass in Shouzhou, so I don't need to send it. The worst is to change it." If a person is replaced, I will not serve you anymore."

Liu Renshan said: "Your Majesty ordered you to send these grains to Shouzhou, and they are not yours. Why do you..."

"Xian Shilang, ordered the withdrawal of the troops. Before the food and supplies were delivered, they belonged to me. I lost my way on the way there. I made a detour and went back to Jinling to apologize. At worst, I will be demoted. I don't care. Don't think that you are the only one with a temper in the world. "

"As ordered."

Liu Yanzhen took Xian Shilang and others down the crenel of the city wall immediately, and then rectified his soldiers to leave the city.But they didn't go too far, instead they gave Liu Yanzhen a chance to come to Daoqian, as long as Liu Yanzhen subdued, they would still enter the city and send food and grass there.

Although Liu Yanzhen has a temper, he is not a fool. To do so is to delay the military situation. It is not as simple as demoting an official. It is very likely that he will be killed directly.But in front of so many people, it was impossible for him to succumb to a junior with a lower official position than him, so he had to use a tougher method to force Liu Ren to come over to Daoqian.

……

After everyone left, Liu Renshan pursed his lips and said, "This man must have taken the wrong medicine, and he brought back the food, grass, soldiers and horses that were finally delivered. That is to say, I am open-minded. If someone else dared to do this, Just surround them in the city and not allow them to go out, and when the food and grass are transported to Shouzhou, report him a delay in the military situation, and it is not my business to kill them first and then play them."

Huangfu Jixun said depressedly: "General Liu, can we stop talking like that? I know you have good intentions and you enforce the law strictly. I admire them very much, but sometimes speaking unclearly is like killing someone with a dull knife, not to mention that illness comes from the mouth. Come in, misfortune comes out of your mouth, sooner or later you will die from this mouth when you talk like this."

"General Huangfu, if you act upright and sit upright, you may die in front of the two armies, but you will never die because of this mouth. I am just slow-tempered. Don't take me for a fool, Shouzhou Guard What an important position, as long as your majesty is still in his right mind, he will not listen to slanderous rumors and remove his official position, as long as his majesty sticks to Shouzhou, no one can do anything to me."

Huangfu Jixun really couldn't do anything about this kind of person. Although what he said was still very reasonable, his profession was very important. As long as Liu Rengan failed in his duties, the entire Southern Tang Dynasty would fall into an extremely passive state, so this kind of position naturally requires Choose the most trusted and capable person to take on the role.

If Li Jing didn't trust Liu Renshan enough, he wouldn't have sent him to garrison the most important Shouzhou.Liu Renshan's calm temperament is indeed suitable for this position, because he can't make mistakes. It is estimated that everyone in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty is not as stable as him...

Therefore, Liu Renfan is calm at every change. He does not need to have a good relationship with anyone, and he does not need to give anyone face.But his behavior is not like that of an official at all, but rather like that of a local emperor who does as he pleases.

Of course, Huangfu Jixun didn't have too much hope for Liu Renshan, as long as he can keep Shouzhou well, it doesn't matter how much he makes trouble.Because in some respects, Liu Renshan is indeed a genius, and it is acceptable for a genius to have some eccentricities.

"All right, all right, whatever you like, anyway, I'm going to talk to Liu Yanzhen, I hope he won't be too capricious, if he really brings troops back to Jinling, we can't stand it."

Liu Renshan smiled lightly and said, "What can't be tolerated? Now Shouzhou has enough grain and grass, and the city walls are strong. It is impossible for Dazhou to attack by force. I don't know how Liu Yanzhen will be punished when he transports the grain and grass back to Jinling." , anyway, His Majesty will immediately send someone to bring food and soldiers over, so why should I worry?"

"You are amazing, you don't worry about anything. It's okay for me to worry. I went to find him by myself and didn't let you follow."

"Oh~ General Huangfu... It's a good journey." Liu Renshan didn't take this matter to heart at all, but continued to look at the Zhou army who was gradually disappearing outside the city and even disappeared. This is historic. For a moment, Da Zhou was unable to attack Shouzhou for a long time. Whose credit is this?Not myself.

If you are in a good mood, stand here and enjoy it for a while. Why should you be angry with a villain like Liu Yanzhen?

Of course, Liu Renshan has never been angry very much in his life, and he hardly knows what it means to be angry. His temper is too slow, and basically he has to wait until the incident is completely over before he reacts to the fact that this incident happened. things, and then there was no need to be angry.

If there is a Guinness World Record, Liu Renshan will definitely win the award, the slowest person in the world.He is the kind who eats an egg, and can even watch the chick hatch, and then wait for the chick to grow up before killing and eating chicken...

Suddenly one day, Liu Renshan laughed twice because someone told him a joke last year, and he suddenly realized that it was very funny.

………………

Liu Yanzhen set up camp outside Shouzhou City. This is also an opportunity for Liu Renshan to come to Daoqian. All the soldiers he brought are here. If Zhou Jun kills a carbine at this time, they must also hide in Shouzhou City. He will be rescued, and for the safety of Shouzhou, Liu Renshan may not open the city gate for him.

Liu Yanzhen was so angry that she stomped her feet and beat her chest angrily. She had never been insulted or threatened so seriously. I really don't know how this Liu Renshan could be appreciated by His Majesty. What is stationed in Shouzhou?
Shouzhou is so important, if you let yourself defend the city, you will be safe, but Liu Renshan, a bastard, only knows how to stick to the city, which is useless.There is no city in this world that cannot be breached, so offense is the best defense. Of course, you must fight first when the enemy comes, and it is not too late to defend if you cannot win.

"I'm pissed off, I'm pissed off. I've never been so insulted before. He dared to threaten to kill me...I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him." Liu Yanzhen said: "Xian Shilang, you have There is no good plan. As long as Liu Renshan can be killed, I will recommend you to be the guard of Shouzhou."

Xian Shilang thought for a while, Liu Yanzhen was in a fit of anger, his promise might not be credible, not to mention the important post of Shouzhou Guard, he might not be able to do it based on his recommendation.Of course, this position is still very attractive, at least it can be regarded as a local emperor, with absolute power of life and death under his own jurisdiction.

Since it is Shouzhou, no matter who is killed, it makes sense.Because the most important thing in Shouzhou is to fight against the first city of the Great Zhou. As long as he slanders him for having an affair with the Great Zhou or affecting morale or defense, he can kill him first and then play. Li Jing also said that he killed it well.

It would be very difficult to get the position of Shouzhou guard without meritorious deeds. Unless Li Jing personally appointed him, it would be impossible to rely on Liu Yanzhen's recommendation alone.
