Many things in the world are like this. The speaker may not have the intention, but the listener may have the intention, so many causes and effects are planted invisibly.

Let's talk about Yang Zhen and his party, leading Fang Guangchen and Fang Guangchen's two followers who offered to go to his camp, and quickly returned to the City God's Temple.

It was already the second watch at this time, and the soldiers of the advance camp who had camped in the courtyard before and after the Chenghuang Temple were already snoring.

Except for the soldiers on night watch, the courtyard was quiet, as if the whole world was asleep.

In this era, there was no entertainment at all at night. Besides, the soldiers in the advance camp had worked hard all day and fell asleep at night.

Fortunately, Yang Zhen had already made preparations for any eventuality before setting off, so at this time, he could take it easy.

Zhang Degui and others arranged accommodation for Fang Guangchen's two followers, while Fang Guangchen moved into the small room where Yang Zhen originally lived alone.

Yang Zhen had been busy all day during the day and spent half the night running around. He was already very tired. After arranging Fang Guangchen's accommodation, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he said to Fang Guangchen:

"Young Master Fang, you have worked hard all the way, go to bed early tonight! If anything happens, we will take care of it tomorrow! In addition, our advance camp is in Songshan City. We are still guest soldiers at the moment. The conditions in the camp are simple. I don't mean to be negligent. Please be kind to Mr. Fang."

Be considerate and bear with me!”

After saying these words, Yang Zhen turned around and wanted to leave, but Fang Guangchen obviously had something to say.

"Yang Xie Town! Don't leave in a hurry! This time, Fang came all the way to Songshan City and took risks. Doesn't Yang Xie Town want to know what Fang did this time?

Why are you here?!"

Yang Zhen heard something in his words, so he turned back and looked at Fang Guangchen doubtfully, waiting for him to say the next thing.

After Fang Guangchen said this, he didn't hold back and said directly to Yang Zhen: "I took the risk to come to the Songshan Army this time to verify the military exploits reported by your department! Because of your previous report of success in returning to Ningyuan,

It is really of great importance to my father and son, and my father cannot but treat it with caution!"

When Yang Zhen heard Fang Guangchen say such things to him so straightforwardly, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​leaving immediately. He first waved his hand towards the door, asking Yang Zhan'ao and others waiting at the door to disperse, and then said to Fang Guangchen

He cupped his fists and said:

"Before I took the post, I sent two good news to Ningyuan City. I don't know which good news Mr. Fang mentioned, and I don't know which good news caused the governor and Mr. Fang to treat it with caution?!"

"There are no outsiders present here, so why should Yang Xiezhen be so polite to Mr. Fang?! No more calling him Master Fang! If he thinks highly of Mr. Fang, we can treat him as brothers from now on!——

Does Brother Yang have a cousin?"

Fang Guangchen was happy to see that Yang Zhen had always been respectful to him, but he also did not want to make the relationship between Yang Zhen and his father and son too businesslike.

It hasn't been long since he received the first good news from the advance battalion, only two days and two nights. However, Fang Guangchen's attitude towards Yang Zhen has changed several times.

At this moment, he had made a choice and decided to win over the only available general for his father Fang Yizao.

Therefore, when talking to Yang Zhen, there was a smile on his face, and there was a sense of intimacy in his words that we were our own people.

"That's the case - that's fine! However, Yang is a martial artist and has only attended a private school for a few days. Although he is somewhat proficient in writing and calligraphy, Yang has never picked up the idiom of a scholar!"

Although Yang Zhen was a little surprised by what Fang Guangchen said, he was very happy to see Fang Guangchen treat him like this.

Because he knew very well that if he wanted to become the commander-in-chief, only the governor of Liaodong, Fang Yizao, could help him.

Yang Zhen had no cousin, so Fang Guangchen didn't know how to get close to Yang Zhen for a while. He was stunned for a moment and finally said: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! We can treat each other as brothers!"

The ancients attached great importance to choosing characters, and it was usually the elders who chose characters for the younger ones.

Since Yang Zhen had no nickname, Fang Guangchen wanted to give him one, but unfortunately he felt he was not qualified, and the relationship between the two had not reached that stage.

Fang Guangchen put these aside and continued: "Brother, on the order of my father, followed Lord Zhang Douzhang of the branch patrol to come to the front of the Songshan Army. Initially, it was to verify the success report of the advance battalion! Because after my father received your victory report,

In the name of the Liaodong Governor's Yamen, he reported it to the imperial court!

"But your first victory report was only a letter of victory in black and white, but there was no proof of victory. On the day the victory report was delivered, Ningyuan City was in a quarrel! While my father was transmitting the victory report to the court,

, I had to send Mr. Zhang and his brothers to find out what happened!"

Having said this, Fang Guangchen smiled slightly, paused briefly, and after a moment, he looked at Yang Zhen and continued: "But - on our way to the front of the Songshan Army, we happened to be delivering the second victory message to the advance battalion.

We were on board the ship and saw with our own eyes the heads of more than 400 Tatars full of bullets! With this capture as evidence, there is no doubt about the authenticity of the advance battalion’s military exploits!

"If my brother was willing at that time, Mr. Zhang and I could have returned with the ship without having to come to Songshan to risk our own lives! Then Brother Yang - do you know why my brother insisted on coming to the Songshan Army and insisting on seeing you?

?”

Of course Yang Zhen could guess it, but he had to pretend to be confused as if he understood. Therefore, after hearing Fang Guangchen's words, he shook his head silently.

Seeing this, Fang Guangchen smiled and did not let Yang Zhen wait. He then said: "As the governor of Liaodong, my father once promised Brother Yang in person that as long as the advance battalion rescues Songshan, he will guarantee you to be the commander-in-chief of the army!

Now that my father has said this, he must do what he says!

"Now Brother Yang has indeed made such a military exploit in the battle to rescue Songshan, and Brother Yang is Ningyuan's deputy general. With this meritorious service, he will be promoted to the commander-in-chief, which is just around the corner!

"Once Brother Yang is recommended by my father and becomes the commander-in-chief of the army, he will play an important role in Liaodong from now on. From now on, he and my father and son will share weal and woe! This kind of relationship is the reason why I came to Songshan to see Brother Yang this time!

"

Yang Zhen heard the underlying meaning of Fang Guangchen's words. He bowed to Fang Guangchen again and said:

"The achievement of this humble position cannot be achieved without the governor sitting in Ningyuan and strategizing, and without the governor personally giving instructions and strategies! Moreover, the temporary banner of the Ningyuan advance battalion was given by the governor himself! I, Yang Zhen, and the advance guard

All the merits of the battalion soldiers are naturally the merits of the governor! Yang will never forget this!"

After Yang Zhen said this, a smile appeared on Fang Guangchen's face. He did not expect that Yang Zhen, a martial artist, could be so knowledgeable. What made him most gratified and even delighted was that Yang Zhen actually understood the general situation so well, took the overall situation into consideration, or was so well-informed.

!

Next, Fang Guangchen no longer covered up or tested, but said directly: "Brother Yang, you are the deputy general of Ningyuan. This time you led the Ningyuan advance battalion to achieve such meritorious service. My father will come forward to recommend you as the commander-in-chief of one side."

, no big problem!

"However, there is no vacancy for the imperial army's current economic and military chief officer in Liaodong. My brother wants to ask my father to recommend you to be the chief officer of the Ningyuan regiment training! I wonder what Brother Yang wants?!"

Hearing Fang Guangchen say this, Yang Zhen looked directly into Fang Guangchen's eyes and asked: "Brother Fang, do you mean what the governor said, or do you mean it yourself?!"

"It's my wish now! But when I return to Ningyuan City tomorrow, it will be my father's wish! Brother Yang doesn't have to have any doubts about this!"

When Fang Guangchen said this, he did not explain more on this issue, but immediately said: "Now that the siege of Songjin has been solved, Zu Dashou Zu Headquarters cannot stay in Ningyuan forever! Wait until the news spreads

, he has to set off to sit in front of the Jinzhou Army!

"By then Ningyuan will be short of a guard general! In this way, your opportunity will come! My father's opportunity will also come! Ningyuan has an important position in Liaodong. Brother Yang, you don't know it, right?"

Of course Yang Zhen doesn't know this.

However, he has seriously thought about this issue. He wants to stay in Songshan and serve as the commander-in-chief. Even if he fails to become the commander-in-chief, as long as he can be made the commander-in-chief of Songshan City.
