Yue Fei was a little at a loss. Looking at the thieves who were brought out, he became even more confused. He was waiting for Liu Chan to explain, because he really couldn't understand what it meant. On the contrary, Zhao Kang next to him looked a little excited.

Liu Chan said coldly: "These thieves have no conscience and dare to massacre our people of the Song Dynasty under our rule. I was very angry and sent troops to arrest them. After examination, do you know what they said?"

Yue Fei was very angry when he heard Liu Chan's words. The massacre of innocent people actually happened under his rule. No matter what, he, Yue Fei, was guilty, so he didn't blame Liu Chan for being so angry. So he knelt down and said: "No

Thinking that something worse than a beast could happen under my rule, I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish you, and I will never refuse."

After hearing Yue Fei's words, Liu Chan's expression softened a lot and he continued to say to Yue Fei: "Then do you know what they said?"

Yue Fei looked at Liu Chan doubtfully: "I don't know."

Liu Chan was a little annoyed by Yue Fei's straightforwardness, so he said directly: "They said they are your Yue Fei's men and soldiers of your Yue Family Army. So I brought them here so that you can recognize them."

After hearing this, Yue Fei immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, my army will never do such harm to the people." Then Yue Fei carefully identified the group of thieves and shouted: "Which army are you from? How dare you slander us?

Yue Family Army, don’t you know that my Yue Family Army defends the country and never dares to have any selfish motives. You bandits dare to act like this, aren’t you afraid of being blamed by heaven?” Not only Yue Fei was angry, but also the deputy generals Wang Gui and Zhang Xian next to him.

, even the ordinary soldiers following him were very angry.

The Yue Family Army has always been known for its strict discipline and lenient treatment of the people. It is an army that is truly capable of freezing to death without demolishing houses or starving to death without looting. The Yue Family Army attaches great importance to its reputation, and there are actually troops who dare to harm the people under the banner of the Yue Family Army.

This is simply intolerable.

When the leader heard that Liu Chan was the emperor, he knew that he could no longer hide it. What's more, in front of Yue Fei now, he could not tell any lies, so he could only tell the truth: "Return to the general, we are subordinates of the Xiliang Army."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Hu Kang, the commander of the Xiliang Army. The ordinary soldiers even looked at Hu Kang with angry eyes. The discipline of the rebel army was so bad that it had long angered the soldiers of the Yuejia Army.

Unhappy. This happened again today, and they were even more angry.

As for Hu Kang himself, he discovered the identities of these thieves as early as when they were brought here. After saying this, he was even more indifferent to this information. However, Hu Kang was not afraid. He did not believe that Liu Chan dared to do this.

It was time to use the knife on him. After all, the Northern Expedition was imminent, and as the actual commander of the 20,000 rebel troops, nothing could happen to him at all.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you for your lax discipline. I will definitely discipline my subordinates strictly after I return."

Unfortunately, Hu Kang still underestimated Liu Chan's determination. Liu Chan took the control of the army more seriously than anything else. An army that dares to wield a sword against the people of his country will definitely be severely punished. Liu Chan scolded Hu Kang: "

Discipline is not strict. As the commander of the Xiliang Army, you are stationed at the border for the country. You should be guarding the homeland and protecting the people from being tortured. However, your subordinates, such evil thieves, actually do such a heinous act for a little money.

What happened? Taking the salary given to you by the imperial court and eating the military rations given to you by the common people, you turned out to be unscrupulous and inhumane. You brandished a butcher knife and killed the good people under our rule without caring about the life and death of the people. You are really worse than a beast and extremely vicious."

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong looked at Liu Chan in shock. They really didn't expect Liu Chan to curse so harshly. They were so happy. They didn't even look at who taught Liu Chan. Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang to death in front of the formation to find out.

Hu Kang did not expect that Liu Chan would be so angry, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, these are things that these bastards do privately and have nothing to do with the ministers."

"How dare you make such a quibble in front of me? How dare these soldiers act like this without your instructions."

"Your Majesty, I don't care about my ministers' affairs."

"Oh, I don't care about your business? Since you can't restrain the soldiers under your command, what's the use of your control?" Liu Chan shouted and jumped off the horse. Han Shizhong and others also dismounted.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Hu Kang kowtowed, hoping to have a chance of survival.

Liu Chan looked at Hu Kang and sneered, but he still took the overall situation into consideration and said to Han Shizhong next to him: "In good time, you will first take over the commanding position of Hu Kang, the leader of the Xiliang Army." Then he looked at Hu Kang: "As for you, go back to your home for later use.

Come on, pull it down."

"Your Majesty, is that it?" Han Shizhong asked in confusion. If it was really Hu Kang who authorized it, then being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts would not be an exaggeration.

"There is not enough evidence at the moment. We will wait until the end of the Northern Expedition."

Hu Kang was quickly pulled down by Han Shizhong's personal guards. Along the way, many Yue Family Army soldiers glared at him. Although the other generals of the rebel army were a little angry at this scene, they were more terrified.

"Hu Yantong." Liu Chan shouted: "Let me chop off all these hundred thieves and hang their heads on the city gate. I want to see who else dares to put the lives and deaths of the people at risk."

regardless of."

"yes."

Hu Yantong was a straightforward man. After hearing Liu Chan's order, he immediately killed the one hundred bandits on the spot, leaving no one alive. As for why he didn't collect evidence, there was no way anyone was really from the Imperial City Division.

Let's eat dry food.

Then Liu Chan looked at the other generals of the rebel army: "What I give you is the power to plunder the Jin Army's materials at will, but if anyone dares to act like today, everyone will see the consequences, so I won't say more."

To establish prestige, at this moment Yue Fei and Han Shizhong understood why Liu Chan acted like this. It was all for the purpose of establishing prestige. The Yue Family Army has strict military discipline and is not an object to establish prestige. On the contrary, it is the Xiliang Army. As long as they seriously find excuses for them, they will definitely be an object of prestige.

A good choice to establish prestige. On the other hand, it can be speculated that Liu Chan gave the Xiliang army the power to plunder for today's event. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei had to admire Liu Chan's scheming and strategizing, which was truly the best in the world.

Liu Chan walked towards Yue Fei and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, General Yue. I'm tired of the reception this time."

"This is my honor." Having just been killed to scare the monkeys, Yue Fei was of course very careful about his attitude.

"Let's go into the city. I have a general understanding of the situation in the north along the way, but you have to tell me in detail about the situation in the Jin Kingdom."

"I obey your decree, Your Majesty."

At his residence, Yue Fei explained to Liu Chan in detail the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, the opposition between the main war faction and the peace faction, and the current generals that the main war faction can dispatch, which are very organized. Combined with what Liu Qi said in Luoyang

Liu Chan now has a rough estimate of the situation in the north.

"Very good, not bad. With General Yue in charge, Shunchang will have no worries."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but now the war is about to begin. Your Majesty, you have a rich body, why don't you go to Yancheng to take charge?"

"You don't think I'm here to work for the army, do you?"

"Isn't it?" Yue Fei still didn't know that Liu Chan planned to fight the Jin Kingdom personally, and that he would not come back if he won.

"Of course not, I want to fight against the Kingdom of Jin here personally."

"Your Majesty wants to conquer it personally?" Wang Gui exclaimed and said in disbelief.

Yue Fei glanced at Wang Gui and felt that something was wrong with Wang Gui's state today, and he actually interrupted many times today. No, he just interrupted again. So he could only introduce to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, this is the commander of the Chinese army.

Wang Gui."

"Oh, I have heard of you. You are very good at fighting, and you are worthy of Pengju's subordinate." Liu Chan praised Wang Gui with a smile, but after Wang Gui heard this, his expression quietly changed, and a dark flash flashed in his eyes.

Light, then fell silent.

Liu Chan said to Yue Fei again: "It's already getting late today. I didn't expect that we would be talking until now. Let's end it here today. I will review the army tomorrow. Pengju, be prepared."

"I am determined to let your majesty see the elegance of my Yue Family Army.

"good."

Under the courtesy of Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, Liu Chan walked to the door and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Liangchen, please tell Pengju the method of Liu Qi's contribution."

"good."

Yue Fei looked at Han Shizhong doubtfully, and was immediately greeted by Han Shizhong's eyes. He felt heartbroken because he knew that he would lose several jars of fine wine.

After Liu Chan had dinner, he sat on a chair and studied the map of the north. After all, this was his first personal expedition, so he had to be prepared and preferably win. Liu Chan had a clear understanding of his abilities.

We know each other, so the command of the army in the future will definitely be handed over to Han Shizhong or Yue Fei. But at the beginning of this battle, he will definitely be the leader personally.

Han Shizhong may not be able to defeat the Jin Kingdom, and Yue Fei may not be able to convince the crowd, so everything must be controlled by a leader. Liu Chan does not need to do anything, he just needs reasonable deployment. Although it is very simple, if there is no Liu Chan

, the cooperation between these generals in the north is probably hard to describe.

At this moment, Zhao Hao came to Liu Chan and said quietly: "Your Majesty, there are people from the Imperial City Department who want to see you, and they have already verified the token."

"Imperial City Secretary? It's so late, please hurry up." Usually when the Imperial City Secretary comes to visit so late at night, it is not ordinary news, Liu Chan said quickly.

Then, I saw Zhao Hao leading a man in black clothes, who looked like he was from the Imperial City Department. The man immediately knelt down when he saw Liu Chan: "I see your majesty, long live your majesty.

age."

"Excuse me, what happened?"

The man from the Imperial City Division glanced at Zhao Hao and said nothing. Liu Chan immediately understood what he meant and said to Zhao Hao: "Go down first. I will call you if I need anything."

Zhao Hao had been following Liu Chan for some time, so he was naturally very sensible and walked out immediately, not forgetting to close the door and drive away the soldiers stationed at the door. Liu Chan looked at Zhao Hao's series of actions,

He nodded with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
