"General, the governor has already brought a reply!" Regardless of the hard work along the way, Hu Tou knelt down on one knee and saluted Liu Ru. He quickly took out an oil paper bag with body temperature from his arms and handed it to Liu Ru respectfully.
Wishful hands.
"Haha! It's been a hard journey!" Liu Ruyi patted the tiger's shoulder appreciatively. After not seeing each other for a few days, the little calf had become more military-looking, "Go and tell Liu Jing at the door to let the kitchen go."
Get some bowls of mutton soup, and I’ll ask you again when you’re full!”
"Hehe! Thank you, General! I'll go down first then!" Hutou chuckled, patted his big head naively, and quickly exited the tent.
After the tiger head walked away, Liu Ruyi opened the oil paper bag and took out the letter inside!
In fact, as early as the day after the Battle of Huangjiapuzi, Liu Ruyi sent Hutou to Dezhou City to ask for merit from Yan Jizu! Linqing City is only less than half a day's journey from Dezhou. If you ride a fast horse, you can reach it in one and a half hours.
But as of today, five days have passed before I received a reply. It seems that Yan Jizu still doesn’t understand!
Sure enough, after reading the letter in his hand, Liu Ruyi's face turned cold!
"Do these shitty literati really think of themselves as food?" Liu Ruyi threw the letter aside and sat on the soft couch next to him, concentrating and thinking carefully!
Since Ni Chong, the commander-in-chief of Shandong, died in battle, in the message Hutou brought to Yan Jizu, Liu Ruyi only mentioned that he wanted to use the heads of the two thousand Tatars he killed, as well as his achievements in defending Jinan City and defeating the Duduo tribe.
, in exchange for the position of 'Shandong Commander-in-Chief', it would be even better if he could add a false title like 'what-so-and-so general'!
In this way, he can not only use his own achievements to save Yan Jizu's face from losing Yanzhou, but also allow him to explain himself in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and Liu Ruyi can also get the rights he wants. No matter how you calculate it, this is a strategy that has the best of both worlds.
!
But who would have expected that Yan Jizu actually rejected Liu Ruyi's request in the letter, and was only willing to promote Liu Ruyi to deputy general, and asked Liu Ruyi to hand over all the more than 30,000 people rescued from Linqing City to the governor's Yamen for resettlement, and,
From now on, within three days, you must go to Dezhou City to meet Yan Jizu himself!
this?
How can you accept this fucking name Liu Ruyi?
Although Yan Jizugui was the governor of Shandong and the first person in the military and political affairs of Shandong, what exactly did he do during this catastrophe that lasted for several months? And what did he do to alleviate the situation in Shandong in the slightest?
On the other hand, right after the war, he wanted to kill the donkey and show off his arrogance as the governor! It is clear that he just wanted to reach out and pick peaches!
The military ranks of the Ming Dynasty ranged from guerrillas to senior generals, deputy generals, and generals. Although Yan Jizu had already promoted Liu Ruyi one level, skipping the generals and directly being promoted to deputy general, it depends on when it was!
At this moment, Ni Chong's tribe has been defeated, and the remaining troops are about to be eaten by Liu Ruyi. In the entire Shandong territory, except for the deputy commander Chen Guowei, there are less than 3,000 troops. The rest are all just eating and drinking the blood of the soldiers.
The bastards are simply unable to resist Liu Ruyi. Even Chen Guowei's troops, Liu Ruyi is also confident that the soldiers under his command can securely capture them within an hour!
The key to your tone of speech depends on your own confidence. At this time, Liu Ruyi almost saved the entire situation in Shandong by one person. Naturally, he stood upright and his back was straighter! As for Yan Jizu, since he didn’t know
To promote him, he must understand who has the final say in this land!!
At this time, Hutou had also eaten and drank enough, got into the tent, and recounted his experience in Dezhou City to Liu Ruyi in detail!
Liu Ruyi was silent after listening, but after a long time, she asked: "Yan Benchu, did Mr. Yan give you anything?"
Hutou was stunned, scratched his big head and thought for a while, "He didn't say anything else! He just said that Dong Weng is old and has been under too much pressure recently. If he has offended me in any way, please let General Haihan! If so,
When the opportunity comes again, he will definitely make amends for the general himself!"
Liu Ruyi smiled and nodded. It seems that the long-term favor offensive has finally had some effect. Yan Benchu is at least a little moved! With his current strength, he wants to recruit a large number of talented and capable literati to serve him, and
It's not very realistic. Everything needs to be "justified"!
"Okay, Hutou, it's getting late, let's go down and rest early! Tomorrow, we will go to Dezhou City to pay a visit to our governor!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he was about to lie down and sleep, but Hu Tou was dumbfounded and secretly looked at him, as if he didn't intend to leave!
"What? What else can't you say to your uncle and me? Well? If you have something to say, you will fart! What? Could it be that Hu Tou wants a woman and wants to marry a wife?" Liu Ruyi smiled and kicked.
He kicked his head and joked.
As the orphan of Zhao Canghai, Liu Ruyi was very caring towards Hu Tou. Although Liu Ruyi was not six or seven years older than Hu Tou, she still asked the boy to call him uncle!
Hutou twisted his head for a while, secretly looked at Liu Ruyi's face, and saw that Liu Ruyi was smiling, and then said: "General, I, I want to join the army! I always run errands and deliver messages, then, when can I really
Killing a thief is a meritorious service!"
"What? The hair hasn't grown yet? Can't wait any longer?" Liu Ruyi said with a smile, but she felt a little emotional in her heart. It wasn't that Liu Ruyi didn't want Hu Tou to enter the battlefield, but she just thought of Zhao Canghai, and Liu Ruyi really couldn't bear it.
, not even his last bloodline can be saved!
The Chinese people value the inheritance of blood the most, and the land of Qilu values the most. Although Zhao Canghai has no son, Hutou, his nephew, is another continuation of his bloodline!
"General, I'm not young anymore! Really! If you don't believe it, I took off my pants for you to see!" Hutou was so anxious that he pulled down his crotch!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but laugh, this guy has a lot of money!
"Are you really going to give me a damn face? Ah~~! Where did you learn these dirty tricks? Hurry up and put your pants up! Starting tomorrow morning, you will go to practice with the military camp for a month. By then, you can
Hold on, come and talk to me again! Get out of here, your uncle, I'm going to bed!" Liu Ruyi kicked the tiger in the head, ignored him, turned around and lay down on the bed!
"Really? Uncle, don't worry! I promise I can survive! Hehe!" It took Hutou a long time to react, and he jumped for joy and rushed out of the tent excitedly!
Liu Ruyi looked at Hu Tou's youthful and energetic back, and couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be much younger! I hope God will bless this boy with good luck!
……………………
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ruyi left behind three hundred troops to maintain order in the "refugee camp" in Linqing. He took more than 1,700 soldiers under his command, plus more than 1,000 Cao Jizhou who wanted to join the army.
People, turn north and go straight to Dezhou City!
After all, if the governor summons you, you still have to give him face!
Linqing City has developed waterways, but Dezhou City has prosperous land routes. In the past, these two places were prosperous towns in northwest Shandong. From both ends of the water and land, they blocked the gateway to Shandong, with developed commerce and a prosperous population! But now, Linqing City has
Half beaten, only Dezhou City still maintains the throat of north-south transportation!
There was no conversation all the way, and in the evening, Liu Ruyi arrived at Dezhou City as promised!
"Who are you? You want to enter the city so late?" On the top of the city, seeing such a huge army coming, the defenders immediately became alert. The drawbridge at the city gate was raised high, and dozens of black cannon muzzles were fired.
, and looked closely at Liu Ruyi and his party below the city!
At this time, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chen Guowei had retreated to Dezhou City, and his subordinates took over the defense. Although Liu Ruyi had defeated the remnants of Duduo and Luo Luohong, at this time, Chen Guowei still did not dare to be careless at all.
, the city gate of Dezhou City is always closed tightly, comparable to the gap between a virgin's legs!
Liu Ruyi winked at Cao Jizhou, who was beside him. Cao Jizhou understood, drew his horse and rushed to the city, shouting: "Are you blind? This is Jinan Nancheng guerrilla General Liu Ruyi who just defeated the Qing army! You guys
Guisun, please open the city gate quickly and inform the governor to come out of the city to greet you!"
Cao Jizhou was originally a subordinate of Ni Chong. He had been stationed in Dezhou City for a period of time. He knew the terrain and military strength here very well. Most of the defenders on the city knew him!
"Is this Cao Qianhu under the city? It's so late, it's not that we don't want to let our brothers enter the city! In fact, General Chen has a strict order. No one is allowed to enter the city after noon! You guys have no choice! Everyone
It's better to rest outside the city for the night and then enter the city again tomorrow morning! I have already sent people to inform the governor and General Chen that they will definitely send wine and meat to the brothers later!" A Qianhu official at the top of the city shouted.
, explained loudly.
Cao Jizhou was just about to show off his efforts in front of Liu Ruyi, but he didn't know that these defenders were so disrespectful to him. He couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Li Mazi, you fucking saw it clearly! It's me! This time the governor
Your Excellency has something urgent to discuss with General Liu, so why don't you open the city gate quickly? If the urgent military situation is delayed, can you afford it?"
However, the garrison at the top of the city still showed no respect at all. The leader Qianhu shouted: "Cao Qianhu, brother, there is nothing we can do, these are orders from above! If you don't believe it, just ask Mr. Chen! Brother, there are others
It’s important, so I won’t accompany you anymore!”
After saying that, he turned around and left, apparently hiding in the city gate building to rest!
Cao Jizhou had no choice but to return to Liu Ruyi, "General, these bastards, these bastards are simply bullying people! They have no ability to guard against those dog Tatars, but they actually started barking at us! What, what should we do?"
Liu Ruyi sneered softly, it seemed that someone wanted to give him eye drops! It's okay, if the tiger doesn't show its power, he will treat himself as a sick cat!
"Second the order, the whole army is ready for battle! Give them another quarter of an hour! If they don't open the city gate, I will start to attack the city!" Liu Ruyi stared at the city head and said coldly!
