When Zhe Keqiu heard this, his face became slightly angry, and it was fleeting, but he was extremely angry inside. The young man in front of him was really holding a chicken feather as an arrow. He was young and frivolous, wouldn’t that mean Liu Zhengyan in front of him?

I heard Zhe Keqiu say: "Xiao Liu is now the envoy of the Qinfenglu and the Lanhuang system of Xihe. It is okay to stay in Qinzhou to handle the job. It is okay to recruit soldiers in Qinzhou. It is reasonable to add food and pay to the soldiers. In this way, please ask Xiao Liu to add some food and pay to the soldiers in Qinzhou. This is not to favor one and the other, but to be fair."

Liu Zhengyan was still sympathizing with his temporary plan in front of him. When he heard this, he frowned and naturally fell into a dilemma. Now, as the nominal commander of the Western Army, Liu Zhengyan only added food and salary to his soldiers under his command. What do you think of the soldiers in other places? Wouldn't he offended the soldiers in other places?

It doesn't matter if you treat your subordinates well, but generally this kind of thing is the benefits given by local officials in addition to the provision of food and pay. If it is written to increase food and pay every month, that is another problem. Liu Zhengyan has no experience as a chief official, but this matter ultimately makes him embarrassed.

Liu Zhengyan was determined to fight with Che Keke, and wanted to fight with Che Keke. If there was too much money and food, it would be fine. It could only be considered a big deal. However, the money and food are not too much, which would become a problem.

"After the harvest season, taxes from all over the country have come up, so I will raise some food and salary for the soldiers." Liu Zhengyan answered, but he couldn't relax. The northwest taxes have never been much. He also had to support officials from various government offices, the imperial guards and the wing troops, and repair military forts in various places. Local government offices also had to repair official roads, canals, rivers and bridges. They were never enough to make ends meet and needed support from Tokyo. A soldier would add half a stake of money to three douches of grain every month, and he would spend more than hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. This was the dilemma of the chief officials.

Zhe Keqiu smiled slightly when he heard this, and did not say much, but followed Liu Zhengyan to the city. This Qinzhou is the Qinzhou of the Zhe family. Zhe Keqiu had many confident methods, so he saw how much planning the little Liu Jingliu husband had and what was his idea.

At the naturalization pass, Hu Yanzhuo took a frame from the Albati people, and there was a person inside the frame.

After receiving this person, Hu Yanzhuo was shocked and personally led people to escort the people in the frame to Yanjing. Hu Yanzhuo carried the jade seals and gold medals on his chest. When the horse was resting, he took them down and carefully counted them, for fear of losing something, so he carried them on his back and continued on his journey. Even if he was sleeping, he kept it on his chest and did not dare to neglect at all.

Within the frame is Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Khitan Great Liao Empire.

When Hu Yanzhuo was waiting for Yanjing, Zheng Zhi and his army had just arrived at Yanjing. The army was still heading north. Zheng Zhi went into the city to have a detailed talk with Li Gang, and then chased the large group of people later. This way, it would not stop the matter.

Li Gang was reporting the incident at the Gubei Pass with Zheng Zhi, the beacon smoke that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the letters sent to Yanjing that Shi Jin continued to restore the critical battle for Li Gang and Zheng Zhi.

Fortunately, the dilapidated Gubei Pass is still firm.

"Prince, General Hu Yan is asking for a visit outside the door." Niu Da walked into the small hall to report.

Zheng Zhi asked with a question when he heard this. How could Hu Yanzhuo leave his post without regard to military orders? Even if there is a major military situation, he should have called troops to report it. Hu Yanzhuo should not have come.

Zheng Zhi's face was slightly dark, and his tone was not good and said, "Call him in!"

Hu Yanzhuo entered the small hall, and was covered in dust and bowed on one knee. Seeing that Zheng Zhi had a bad expression, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will leave the army privately. It is really too important to make mistakes. Please forgive me."

Hu Yanzhuo was talking while taking the burden on his chest.

Zheng Zhi and Li Gang were not in a hurry to speak, and looked at Hu Yanzhuo's actions. They only saw a few things appearing from the package, jade was shining and golden!

Zheng Zhi had already gotten up and picked up a large seal to see it. The small characters are Khitan, the large characters are Chinese, and the Liao Dynasty jade seal!

"Where is a person? Is it dead or alive?" Zheng Zhi asked.

Hu Yanzhuo quickly replied, "Just outside the yamen, the generals led more than a hundred personal soldiers to guard day and night, and did not dare to make any mistakes. They lived a good life and gained a lot of weight. When they first met, they were like beggars on the roadside, and at this time they had regained some of their spirits."

Zheng Zhi nodded after hearing this, and said, "Let's bring it in."

Hu Yanzhuo stood up and turned around, and went to take Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi walked into the small hall and looked up at the two people in front of him. In front of him, a man with an iron armored face with a dark face and a clear edge. The other person was wearing a dark red official uniform of the Song Dynasty, with a slightly pale face and a literary temperament. However, these two people seemed not old.

Yelu Yanxi also knew that he was here to meet King Zheng Zhi of Yan, but the two of them in front of him were not like the ones they imagined King Yan of the Song Dynasty.

One of them is obviously a military general, so they don’t look like it. One of them is wearing an official government, not a prince’s python robe, so they don’t look like it. Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Ji are actually no different. The difference between Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Ji is that they have different hobbies, one likes hunting, and the other likes calligraphy and painting.

After Yelu Yanxi was captured by the Jin Kingdom, she faced the same humiliation as Zhao Ji, but she could survive for a few years and see all the sorrows in the world.

In Yelu Yanxi's heart, a prince of a great country should not seem like the two people in front of him.

While Yelu Yanxi was still looking at him, Hu Yanzhuo stretched out his legs and kicked him on Yelu Yanxi's legs. He shouted: "You are the king of a devastated country. When you see Your Highness, the King of Yan, you are not qualified to take your identity here."

Yelu Yanxi staggered and knelt on the ground, wonderingly, and said, "Greetings to His Highness the King of Yan."

Yelu Yanxi speaks Chinese well. Although he has accent, he has read a lot of poetry and books from the Han people, and there is no obstacle to communication. In this way, Yelu Yanxi is a talented person. He can speak the Turkic language system in the grassland, and naturally speak the Khitan language, but also speak the Chinese. I think he can understand the words of the Shiwei people. The glory of the former Liao Empire was fully revealed in several languages ​​that Yelu Yanxi could understand.

Zheng Zhi was naturally also looking at the Emperor of the Great Liao. He was not short in life and seemed to have some strength, but he no longer had the pride of being the emperor.

This emperor who had no pride was different from Zhao Ji who Zheng Zhi faced. Yelu Yanxi gave Zheng Zhi the only feeling of sadness. So he heard Zheng Zhi say, "I will be given a seat."

Niu Da walked in from the door and moved a square chair. However, Yelu Yanxi stood up and did not sit down. He bowed and said, "You can just stand up. Thank you for your highness, King Yan, for giving him a seat."

Zheng Zhi nodded, and did not force it, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has been hunting and surrounding by the Jurchen cavalry on the grassland. I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a way to live to this day. It's a joyful congratulations."

Yelu Yanxi hurriedly said, "Your Highness is too much, and the villain cannot bear the title of His Majesty. He is really frightened. The villain always likes hunting, so he is not bad at riding. He relies on this riding technique to survive many times."

"Your Majesty can escape from the Jurchens many times. It seems that the riding skills are really good. Now that someone and the Jurchens have war in Gubei, your Majesty and the Jurchens have a national hatred and family hatred. I hope your Majesty will help you to win a few times. If you win, you will definitely destroy the Jurchens and avenge your Majesty. What do you think?" Zheng Zhi thought while thinking in his mind.

Yelu Yanxi heard Zheng Zhilian call him Your Majesty, and even more frightened, bowed and said, "If you can help His Highness the King of Yan, it will be the honor of the villain."

Zheng Zhi nodded after hearing this and said, "There are many Liao clans in the city of Yanjing. Although these people have lost their power and property from that time, they still have some energy and connections. Although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are all under a certain command, these Liao clans have many disagreements. So I ask Your Majesty to appease and recruit more. Those who can join the battle should also serve for them. This is also avenging them. Isn't that a good thing?"

Yelu Yanxi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, saying, "It should be, this should be. The villain must do this for Your Highness."

However, Zheng Zhi did not expect Yelu Yanxi to be so easy to talk to and cooperate with him so much, and said, "In this way, the places outside the pass were the homeland of the Liao Kingdom in the past, and the people of the Liao Kingdom were all missing the old country. So he also asked His Majesty to gather some capable people out of the pass and contact Duoduo for a few more."

When Yelu Yanxi heard this, he relaxed his spirit. When he said this to the King of Yan, he also foreshadowed that his life was saved. If he could save it at this time, he would have nothing to ask for. If he could still help the King of Yan make some contributions and a good ending in the future, it would be a luxury.

"Don't worry, your highness, the villain should do his best to do his best in this matter and die. As long as the Jurchens can be destroyed, my Khitan people will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation." Yelu Yanxi said, and this Chinese word was even more casual. The Khitan people are not much different from the Han people.

Zheng Zhi smiled and stood up and walked forward a few steps: "It's so good, so good, as long as he can destroy the Jurchens, he will protect His Majesty's wealth for the rest of his life. If His Majesty has children in the world, he will also protect them."

Zheng Zhi had a deep thought. In the future, not only Yan Yun was there, but also many other prefectures and places outside the pass were mainly Khitans. The loyal service of the Khitans was Yelu Yanxi. Even under the Great Xing'an Mountains, there was also Khitan hunting division. With Yelu Yanxi, in the next few decades, not only would there be less money to spend, but there would be less deaths. Not only would the Khitans die, but also the deaths of people under Zheng Zhi. If others die, they would naturally have to fight for their lives.

Now it seems that the Han people and the Khitans do not need to be so opposed, and there are fewer unnecessary sacrifices.
