Not long after Yang Zhen sent Xu Changyong and the others away, Lu Pinqi, who was stationed at the south gate of Songshan, hurriedly led a group of subordinates to Yang Zhen's general military mansion.

"Sir! Jin Shijie has led a team of people to Nansantaizi under the banner of the governor's department! It is said that Governor Fang accompanied the imperial envoy to Songshan in person, and they are not far from the south gate of Songshan!"

Lu Pinqi entered the General Military Mansion. As soon as he saw Yang Zhen's face, he started shouting. After saying this, he then asked: "Sir! Do we have to make arrangements and go out of the south gate to greet him? Is this still convenient?

This is the first time the governor has visited Songshan City in person since he took office!"

Lu Pinqi's face was full of joy. He knew that Governor Fang's eldest son had already hurried back to Ningyuan before noon yesterday. Governor Fang and the imperial envoy who stayed in Ningyuan to wait for news must have been overjoyed after hearing Fang Guangchen's report, so they came here in a hurry.

Came to Songshan City today.

And he must have gotten up very early to get to the vicinity of Songshan at this time.

So, what could be the reason that makes these civil servants, who have always been pampered and pampered, not hesitate to work hard and run to Songshan early in the morning? Lu Pinqi thought about it with his toes, and he could figure out the reason.

After returning to Songshan City this time, Lu Pinqi felt extremely lucky for the decision he had made before. The sacrifices of his men were not big, or even negligible, but the gains were unprecedented.

Not to mention the credit for breaking the city and annihilating the enemy, Lu Pinqi was secretly elated just talking about the share of the capture.

After dividing according to the proportion, Lu Pinqi's department gave priority to the recruitment of two hundred young men. With a little training and reorganization, these people can replace the previous veteran soldiers and go to the city to guard the city.

At the same time, although the number of Tatar war horses captured this time was not very large, there were still more than 800 horses. If they were originally divided according to proportion, the number that could be distributed to Lu Pinqi would not be too much.

But what made Lu Pinqi overjoyed was that Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou, Hu Dabao, and Yuan Jin did not participate in the distribution of the captured Tatar war horses. These people Ning Yuan used their share of the war horses to exchange for other human and animal supplies.

So in the end, the Tatar war horses that could be brought back to Songshan City were allotted to Lu Pinqi 200 at once. Although he also gave up his share of the nitrate and sulfur supplies seized from Xu Guanbao, he felt that he had made a lot of money.

This was because these Tatar war horses were by no means ordinary pack horses. They were comparable to draft horses. Moreover, they had complete saddles, pedals, and harness, so they could be used when they were pulled out. With a knight, they could charge into battle. This fact particularly satisfied Lu Pinqi.

In addition, not to mention the food and equipment that Lu Pinqi received in part, the subordinates who went out to sea with him to attack behind enemy lines all made a fortune after they came back. Their morale, confidence and spirit were obviously different. Compared with the attack,

It was much better before.

Lu Pinqi was also a battle-hardened warrior. He could tell at a glance how energetic his soldiers were. If he hadn't attacked behind enemy lines and won consecutive battles, the Songshan officers and soldiers under his command would never have had such a surge in morale.

.

Of course, for him, all the harvests he has achieved before him are still under the table, and the real gains on the table will depend on the imperial court's reward for this great victory behind enemy lines.

All of these, in his more than 20 years of experience in the army, had never happened before, because they had not fought a decent victory in many years.

Therefore, when he heard that Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, had personally accompanied the imperial envoy to Songshan City, Lu Pinqi changed his previous nervousness and anxiety when facing the imperial civil servants and became extra positive and enthusiastic, and did not hide his enthusiasm at all.

enthusiasm.

At the same time, after experiencing the days when he followed Yang Zhen to attack behind enemy lines, and the successive battles in those days, he felt that his relationship with Yang Zhen was now very different, although it was not as good as Yuan Jin and the original members of the advance battalion.

General, but he became much closer than Xia Chengde.

"Haha, I didn't expect the governor to come so quickly! Let's go then, let's go to the south gate to greet him!"

When Yang Zhen saw that Lu Pinqi had received the news, he did not run to report to Songshan Deputy General Xia Chengde step by step, but directly passed Xia Chengde and rushed to the north gate first to report to him. At that moment, he knew in his heart that he had won over Lu Pinqi.

However, as the chief training officer of the Songshan regiment, after receiving the news, he could not handle it like Lu Pinqi did. So he quickly dressed up and followed Lu Pinqi on horseback. At the same time, he also asked Dunn, Ma Keqing and others to quickly pass on the order to inform Songshan.

All the leaders in the city rushed to greet him outside the south gate.

When Yang Zhen and Lu Pinqi rushed outside the south gate, Lu Pinqi's young general Zhong Lingxian was already waiting there with Jin Guofeng's second son Jin Shijie. There were more than a dozen south gate guards busy sweeping the floor, sprinkling water, and setting up a pergola.

.

Yang Zhen saw Jin Shijie and said loudly to him from a distance: "Brother Shijie, are you okay? Your Majesty, General Jin, did you come to Songshan with the escort this time?"

When Jin Shijie heard Yang Zhen's greetings, he immediately hurried forward a few steps, finished the salute, and said to Yang Zhen with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your concern. Shijie is fine, but he is just living in Ningyuan!"

"I heard that my brother followed Commander-in-Chief Yang to attack behind enemy lines and made great contributions. My father also asked me to meet Commander-in-Chief Yang and be sure to express my gratitude on his behalf!"

When Jin Shijie said this, he bowed his hands, bent down again, and bowed deeply. It was not until Yang Zhen stepped forward to support him that he stood up, and then said with a smile:

"When Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of War came out of Shanhaiguan, he already brought a group of cavalry escorts. There is no need for Ningyuan to send people to escort him! Moreover, as the chief soldier of the Ningyuan regiment, my father is rarely free! This time when he came back to Songshan, the governor specially warned

My father stayed behind in Ningyuan City and couldn't come even if he wanted to!

"However, this time my father heard in Ningyuan City that Commander Yang had made extraordinary achievements again. He was happier than when he fought hard to defend Songshan. He praised Commander Yang to everyone he met. He was the most extraordinary man in Liao Zuo at that time!"

Yang Zhen felt happy when he heard Jin Shijie relaying Jin Guofeng's words. He patted Jin Shijie on the shoulder and said repeatedly:

"Don't dare to take it! Don't take it! That's because General Jin loves and protects Yang. If we say that the most extraordinary man from Liao Zuo in the world, your Majesty Commander Jin is really the right one!"

While Yang Zhen was talking to Jin Shijie, Xia Chengde and Zhang Degui, accompanied by Qiu Minyang on the Bingbei Road and Zhang Dou on the patrol road, hurried over from the city.

When Yang Zhen saw it, he patted Jin Shijie on the shoulder again, said goodbye to him, and hurried over to meet Qiu Minyang and Zhang Dou. As soon as they met, they saw a group of people coming from the official road in the south under the bright sun.

The generals who were riding in front were wearing helmets and armor and were majestic in stature. They rode a group of tall horses, clattering forward, looking majestic and majestic.

The horse Bian next to him, wearing the flag of the Ministry of War, pressing the hilt of his sword and holding a spear, was solemn and solemn, making the group of people look even more majestic.

When Yang Zhen saw that the leading general looked very handsome, he knew that this man must be the escort general Zhang Ruoqi, the head of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War, wanted from Shanhaiguan.

Not a moment later, the team came closer, and a few steps away, Yang Zhen bowed and said loudly: "I ordered Yang Zhen, the chief training officer of the Songshan Regiment, to lead the Songshan generals to respectfully welcome Mr. Zhang of the Imperial Military Department and Mr. Yang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

,Welcome to the Governor!"

Standing next to Yang Zhen, Qiu Minyang from the Bingbei Road and Zhang Dou from the Patrol Road also followed suit, and loudly announced their identities and saluted the people in front of them.

As for the other generals of Songshan City, they don't have to do this, they just need to bow and bow.

Because Yang Zhen, the general training soldier of the Songshan Regiment, was their Shangguan, the Shangguan was responsible for all the greetings and transportation at this time.

After Yang Zhen and others saluted, the group of generals with flags at the front quickly moved out of the way and lined up on both sides, immediately revealing the main figures behind them.

Yang Zhen saluted, but no one on the other side said a word. He lowered his head and heard only a few horses carrying their master, clattering all the way to him.

Yang Zhenzheng was hesitant, worried that he had made a mistake in the Book of Rites. Could it be that he had to lead the generals to kneel down to welcome the other party's head of military department? He was also a chief military officer after all.

For a moment, he thought about it, and finally felt that it was not strange to be polite to so many people. If that didn't work, he should kneel down to greet him. He lifted up his armor and pretended to kneel down, but suddenly he heard someone on the horse in front of him.

He laughed and then said loudly:

"Yang Zhen, Yang Hanqing! Being famous is like meeting him, and meeting him is even more famous! He is indeed extraordinary in appearance and outstanding. He is worthy of being called a man from Liao Zuoqi!"

When Yang Zhen heard this, he thought in his heart, it's not that the person who came was unkind. He immediately stopped the momentum of paying homage and stepped forward to hold the rein of the horse for the man. He still lowered his head and said:

"I don't dare to take it! I don't take it! Master Zhang is praising his humble position! In front of Master Zhang, how dare a mere frontier general to be called a man from Liao Zuoqi?! It's really too shameful to deserve it!"

"Why can't you deserve it!? In my opinion, you definitely deserve it! Since Zhang came out of the capital, he has seen all the generals in Jiliao. They are all depressed and have no intention of making progress. Only when he arrived at Ningyuan City, he heard people talking about you, Yang Hanqing.
