Lai Yong and Liu San, who had been confidants of the King of Shandong for many years, were found out for violating military regulations, bullying the people, extortion and other vicious incidents. They were sentenced and beheaded in public, and their heads were hung on the camp gate as a warning to the three armies.

As soon as the news spread, it caused a huge sensation.

The victims in Chaojiazhuang rushed to tell each other, and they were very happy. Whether they were self-employed owners of restaurants, shops, etc., or hawkers who were bullied and exploited in daily life, or ordinary farmers and caravans joining in the fun, the people were talking about it, and they were curious.

They were driven to the military camp.

More than thirty bloody heads hung at the camp gate.

Not only did the soldiers read out the trial process over and over again, but the victims also identified Lai Yong and Liu San. After the news was confirmed, the crowd completely exploded. The streets, alleys, restaurants and tea shops, and even villages and market towns were the busiest.

The topic was that King Chao Tian killed his relatives righteously, killed as many as he wanted, and gave justice to the people. Whenever this matter was mentioned, who would not collect thumbs up? The reputation of Chao Gai, the King of Shandong, invisibly climbed to a new high again.

And this is what ordinary people can know.

Everyone who had relatives or had some status in the army knew that Chao Gai was implicated by two of his confidants and was punished in public with forty military sticks.

Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Jeju, packed his things and prepared to return to Jeju City with his family. After hearing the shocking news, he specially brought his wife and son to visit. When he saw Chao Gai lying on the bed and groaning, his back was swollen.

This wise minister of the Northern Song Dynasty was touched, and he didn't know which muscle was wrong. He not only asked about the situation, but also asked why this was necessary after learning the specific situation. He also asked the old man to find a job in the army for his eldest son Zhang Bofen.

Chao Gai couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this old boy was selling in his gourd, but he knew that Lao Zhang's two sons were still capable, so he agreed. In the name of the Jeju Army, he hired Zhang Bofen as the Sima of the Forbidden Army Camp. He also promised to wait for Zhang Zhongxiong in the future.

When you reach adulthood, you can serve in the military if you wish.

Zhang Shuye left, very happy!

Zhang Bofen followed him back to Jeju City to pack his things and will come to take up his post soon.

Chao Gai didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, so he could only take it one step at a time. Besides, the six battalions of the Forbidden Army were, at best, a non-staff force.

From now on, if a strong man cuts off his wrist, then he will just give it up!

Li Qingzhao kneaded Chao Gai's back and smeared the golden medicine, and said very unhappily: "You said you are a dignified leader, how can you win people's hearts by leading by example?"

.."Yes, I even doubt that you were beaten on purpose to avoid handing in your homework?" Li Qingwan cut the cantaloupe and quickly picked it up with a toothpick and handed it over.

"Husband, do you think so?" Master Li immediately came over.

The three girls Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi, and Yelv Dallibo stopped smiling and looked unkind: "Husband, your behavior today is very suspicious."

"That's right. You were lying on the bed moaning just two days after becoming a bridegroom. I calculated the time and needed to rest for at least a few days. Do you want to be lazy?"

Chao Gai looked at the ladies with a helpless and incredulous look: "You guys are full of dirty minds and took the opportunity to reorganize the army. Where did you go?"

"What? Who are you calling dirty?"

"Chao Gai, you are such a crooked old man and you are still talking about us?"

"Are you too courageous? It seems that your forty military sticks are fine!"

Li Qingwan, Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi glared when they disagreed, pointed at Chao Gai and scolded them, seven were dissatisfied, eight were not angry, and one hundred and twenty were unwilling. Li Qingzhao, Li Shishi, and Yelvda Libo laughed and laughed.

Silent.

"Hey, life after marriage is dark." Chao Gai lay on the bed and watched, the cantaloupe in his hand was frozen in the air, and he sighed sadly after a long time.

Of course, this is just his feeling that he is in the midst of blessings and does not know how to be blessed.

Since he was implicated and received forty military sticks, he has been recuperating at home. Under the careful care of several ladies, and the secret gold wound medicine prepared by the miracle doctor An Daoquan, after three or two days of cultivation, the stick sore has almost healed.

Even Xiao Zhongkui, Chao Qiang, and You Shangshu Zu Shiyuan were both in good condition. They walked and jumped high all the way to meet Chao Gai and his entire army.

The garrison of the Fifth Army was expanded from 3,000 to 5,000, and Li Rong was transferred back from Jinling. The ten battalions of soldiers took turns guarding Chao Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion, the granary and other important places.

Not only the fifth army of the garrison was reorganized, but also several other armies were also changed. In addition to the expansion in numbers, clear goals were gradually established. For example, Black Tornado Li Kui's death-defying army also had two more battalions with a thousand-man strength.

The first and second cavalry corps are ready for war and are ready to be dispatched at any time.

The garrison is reorganizing its troops to prepare for war, and the water, infantry, and horse armies are also reorganizing internally. Various illegal incidents such as corruption, bribery, and bullying of the people are strictly investigated and dealt with. Including the three armies stationed in several Dazhai, they are also conducting self-rectification and self-examination.

Chao Gai's punishment was so shocking and touching that no one dared to violate it!

In addition, there was an atmosphere of war inside and outside Chaojiazhuang.

Not only were there frequent drills at the Jinsha River military wharf, preparing for deep-water operations, but also news spread about the flagrant robbery of a northern caravan in Zengtou City, Lingzhou. The cattle, sheep and horses that were sent to congratulate King Chao Tian on his wedding were actually robbed.

There is no need to deliberately publicize it, the people around Chaojiazhuang are furious. In the past few days, the number of people voluntarily joining the army has increased sharply, threatening to wipe out Zengtou City. Some people who had escaped there even talked about the past, and the fighting atmosphere was high.

After the wedding, other officials from the state gradually returned.

Only Zhu Tong, the handsome bearded man, and Lei Heng, the winged tiger, volunteered to stay.

It's just that Chao Gai has been waiting for the return of the person sent to negotiate. After all, it is important to do things according to the teacher's reputation and to stand on the commanding heights of morality.

He wanted to move Jeju City, so he did not rush to send troops to find trouble. Instead, he was polite first and then sent troops to negotiate in the name of the Jeju government. It would be better if the other party was tough. If the horse was returned, he would continue to demand compensation and make trouble.

In short, we just want to mess with each other!

After the stick injury was almost healed, Chao Gai became more energetic again and specially summoned Yelu Zongyun, Yelu Zongdian and Baomi Sheng to learn the details.

Good ^_^ A large group of fine horses attracts others’ prying eyes.

The group of Jurchens in Zengtou City were greedy and arrogant. They not only robbed the horse, but also injured the Secrecy Saint who went to the theory. Chao Gai was stabbed in the thigh by Shi Wengong.

Yelu Zongyun beat his horse into battle and fought many times. The confrontation between the two armies was delayed. The two brothers said that the war horse was sent to Jizhou, Shandong Province to congratulate King Chao Tian on his wedding.

It's a pity that the reputation doesn't work well.

The birdmen in Zengtou City still dared to rob horses and said that the King of Shandong was an arrogant person.

In the underground secret room.

After Chao Gai asked the person involved to learn about the situation again, he couldn't stop the murderous intent in his eyes: "Huh, I really don't know whether to live or die. I hope they don't return the horses."

"You must be fully prepared." Yelu Zongyun is the oldest and thinks more.

When Yelu Zong telegraphed this, he became angry: "Hey, there is a tough guy in Zengtou City who is very powerful. He injured the chief soldier in thirty rounds. Fortunately, the elder brother came to the rescue in time and fought with the opponent for fifty rounds many times.

"Win or lose,"

"That person is Shi Wengong. Don't worry, our people are not that easy to bully." Chao Gai thought of the teacher in Zengtou City, and his eyes became sinister. Shi Wengong, a Han Chinese, turned to a foreign race to bully his compatriots. It was a bit bad.

Yelu Da Libo Bingxue was smart. While serving tea for his brothers, he asked: "Brothers, do you have anything else to do here?"

"There is a war on the border. We are retreating steadily. Food and grass are in short supply. My father has told me to buy food." Yelu Zongyun did not hide anything. After being silent, he expressed the difficulty.

Yelu Zong glanced at his sister, and then his eyes fell on Chao Gai: "As long as the King of Heaven can provide food and grass, you can exchange it for cattle, sheep, and war horses."

Liao was short of food?

Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. The Liao Kingdom was vast and sparsely populated, and large areas of land were lost one after another. The grain output dropped sharply. Food shortage is a normal phenomenon. If you always eat beef and mutton, you must have uneven nutrition, and you will often get sick.

Seeing Chao Gai's silence, Yelvda Libo softly called her husband to remind him.

"Don't worry, brothers-in-law, grain can be traded on a large scale. Someone will discuss the details with you. One million dan, two million dan or even more." Chao Gai rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then promised with a smile on his face.

There was no shortage of food in the Song Dynasty. The key was that there should be no profiteers hoarding and trading food. As for the imperial court, this was evident from the fact that a lot of food became moldy every year.

"Really, that's great." Chao Gai's assurance surprised Yelu Zongyun and Yelu Zongdian. He had never thought that there would be food but not so much.

"Of course it's true." Chao Gai smiled.

At this time, Chao Fu, the iron ledger, came to report with an ugly face: "Master, master, something has happened. The people we sent to Lingzhou have been beaten."

"It must be those guys!" Yelu Zong said, and Yelu Zong stood up angrily.

My opportunity has come!
Chapter completed!
