However, if they don't come, it means that you can't count on them in the future, and they don't count on themselves either.

For example, Xingshan City is only thirty miles away from Songshan City. It is not too much to say that we can hear the sounds of chickens and dogs. However, since Yang Zhen became the chief military officer of Songshan, people from the two places have almost no contact with each other.

state.

Including Tashan City, although it is to the south of Xingshan, it is not far from Songshan City, only sixty or seventy miles away, and Yang Zhen himself hopes to find an opportunity to have a good communication with Liu Zhouzhi, the guard of Tashan.

After all, the Big and Small Bijia Mountains, which have always been garrisoned by troops from Tashan City, are of extremely great significance to the Songjin front line.

For Yang Zhen, Tunliang City on Bijia Mountain is of vital importance. Those that need to be reinforced need to be reinforced as soon as possible, and those that need to increase troops need to be reinforced as soon as possible, including the construction of fortifications, which should be started early.

Moreover, in order to strengthen the defense of Bijiashan Liangcheng, Yang Zhen was willing to provide them with a batch of guns and ammunition for free, such as flying generals and ten thousand enemies.

It is a pity that Yang Zhen has never found the right opportunity to discuss this issue with Zu Zeyuan, Liu Zhouzhi and others.

This time, he hopes that these people who are close at hand can come, hoping that he can use this opportunity to resolve some of the previous small misunderstandings or dissatisfaction and pave the way for future collaborative operations.

For this reason, Yang Zhen specially asked Fang Guangchen to write a warm and sincere invitation early and sent it out.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of August, he asked several of his lieutenants, except Zhang Degui, to personally go out and lead their separate teams to invite them to a banquet.

Yang Zhen asked Zu Keyong to take people to Jinzhou, Xia Chengde to take people to Xingshan, and Lu Pinqi to take people to Tashan.

However, when Yang Zhen completed the wedding etiquette and came to the front yard of the General Military Mansion to entertain the guests with Zhang Degui, Fang Guangchen and others, there was still no news from Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Tashan.

"If you don't come, don't come! In Songshan City, we couldn't count on Commander-in-Chief Zu, let alone those people in Xingshan and Tashan. As long as they don't cause trouble for us, they will already be burning incense. If we want to

Asking them to provide help to Songshan City in times of crisis may be even harder than climbing to the sky!"

Zhang Degui has been waiting outside the gate of the General Military Mansion for a long time, looking for the stars and the moon. Generals from all walks of life inside and outside Songshan City have arrived, but the three lieutenants sent out early in the morning to invite people have not returned.

Of course there was no news about the person they asked to invite.

If Yang Zhen didn't send a lieutenant to invite him, then that would be fine. When the invitation is handed out, whether the person comes or not depends on the relationship. But if he sends out three lieutenants and doesn't invite the person, it will be a loss of face.

But it's too big.

Moreover, what will be lost is not the face of the lieutenants Xia Chengde and Lu Pinqi, but the face of Yang Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Songshan Army who was ordered to conquer the east.

If Marshal Zu from Jinzhou City doesn’t come, then that’s it. After all, Marshal Zu is highly respected in Liaozuo and his family’s seniority is there. If he comes, it’s equivalent to giving him enough face. If he doesn’t come, then it’s okay.

It's really normal.

But your Xingshan City is nothing, and what is Tashan City? In terms of identity and status, you are no longer as good as Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen invited you in advance, but you didn't comment, and you sent a deputy general to invite him early in the morning, and you still don't give him face?

Besides, Songshan officers and soldiers are standing in front of Xingshan and Tashan. During the war, they are the first line of defense to help you withstand the heavy Tatar troops. This doesn't give you any face?

When he thought of this, Zhang Degui felt suffocated in his heart. When he thought about the time when Yang Zhen led his team out of the border area, Jinzhou and Xingshan directions continued to send detective horses to harass the outposts outside Songshan City, and he felt extremely angry.

.

This is not treating us as friendly forces. This is clearly treating us as enemies. But even against the Manchu Tatars, I have never seen them being so deliberately on guard!

"Captain, I think what General Manager Zhang said is true! If we let them add to the cake, if they don't do it, how can they provide help in times of need in the future?"

Fang Guangchen, who accompanied Yang Zhen and stood outside the gate of the General Military Mansion to welcome the guests to the banquet, immediately agreed with Zhang Degui's words.

He had long been disappointed with Zu Dashou, who was stationed in Jinzhou City, and the generals under Zu Dashou who were stationed in various cities.

Those people were too selfish, too exclusive, and too arrogant. He and his father, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, had lowered their profile and wanted to integrate and take them into their own hands. But in the end, they didn't buy it and let them

The father and son were disappointed.

Otherwise, Fang Guangchen would not come to Songshan City, nor would he be willing to go to Yang Zhen's General Military Mansion to consult with the General Military Mansion without actual rank.

Thinking of this, Fang Guangchen's face darkened, he shook the folding fan in his hand, and continued: "The Governor gave them the steps, but if they don't get down, what else can the Governor do? In this case, we don't have to wait any longer. Besides, the Governor is very happy today.

The day is also a day of great joy for us in Songshan City. After an auspicious time, it is not beautiful!"

After listening to what Zhang Degui and Fang Guangchen said, and then looking at the long street in front of the General Military Mansion where the soldiers from various ministries were already sitting down, waiting eagerly for the banquet, Yang Zhen nodded, and then said:

"That's right. In that case, there's no need to wait. Let's play music and let the banquet begin!"

As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, the assistants of the Assistant Camp Affairs Office who had been waiting for him immediately sent the order. Within a moment, gongs and drums were blaring again inside and outside the General Military Mansion.

When the order to start the banquet was passed down, and the dishes of wine and meat were placed on the table, the inside and outside of the General Military Mansion were filled with laughter and laughter, making it very lively.

Yang Zhen's parents' court was gone, so naturally he was exempted from the ritual of kneeling and worshiping his parents' court. However, Yang Zhen returned to the inner courtyard of the General Military Mansion and once again started to be ingenious.

He returned to the inner courtyard first, came to Qiu Bihan, waved away the serving maid, and said to her: "From today on, you are my wife, Yang Zhen, and the mistress of the backyard of this general military mansion.

However, it is not easy to be my wife, Yang Zhen, are you prepared?"

Yang Zhen did not entertain the generals of Songshan outside, but returned to their wedding room, and immediately drove away the maids around Qiu Bihan. This made her already somewhat relaxed mood suddenly become nervous again, not knowing what Yang Zhen was going to do.

What.

For a moment, she thought of many possibilities, but she never thought that Yang Zhen would say such things to her.

At that moment, Qiu Bihan took a deep breath, calmed down, and then replied in a low voice: "In Bihan's heart, the general is the hero of the world. Being able to marry the general as his wife is Bihan's blessing. From now on, he will be with the general."

Life and death go hand in hand, we share weal and woe, - give birth to children for the general and be a good wife and mother."

From the time Qiu Bihan accidentally bumped into Yang Zhen in Qiu's compound on Tianzhuang Terrace until now, she has actually not spoken a few words to Yang Zhen. At this moment, she doesn't know why Yang Zhen raised such a question.

Although I was nervous, it was inevitable that I would be a little incoherent.

When she talked about life and death, sharing weal and woe, she suddenly thought that today was a happy day and she couldn't talk about death or misfortune. She immediately changed her words and said she wanted to have children and be a good wife and mother.

Something like that.

This made Yang Zhen laugh, and he sat next to her on the bedside, and then said to her: "Yang Zhen is a martial artist, and being able to marry you today is also a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes. It's just that I shoulder the burden

You have heavy responsibilities and are busy with military affairs. From now on, I’m afraid I’ll be mostly out on the battlefield, so I won’t be able to be by your side all the time!”

When Qiu Bihan heard what Yang Zhen meant, he immediately replied: "Bihan's father and ancestors were all warriors. It is not an exaggeration to say that he came from a family of generals. It is common for the daughters of generals to live in loneliness and become homeless. Bihan's grievances and bitterness are common.

You’ve been aware of it since you were a child. If you can marry a general today, it will be a hardship in the future, but you are willing to do so, so the general doesn’t have to worry about it.”

Yang Zhen heard what she said, so he squeezed her hand tightly, and then said: "In that case, I won't say more. Songshan is the front line, and we don't need to stick to vulgar etiquette. You can follow me later."

Go out, go to the courtyard in front of the General Military Mansion, first bow to heaven and earth, and then meet with me the generals of Songshan Department, and toast them with a glass of water and wine table by table, and today's ceremony is completed!"

Yang Zhen's meaning is actually very simple. What he wants to say is that in the future, he will always go out to fight. Once he goes out to fight, he will not be able to personally supervise the affairs of the General Military Mansion and even the affairs of Songshan City. Since they are married today, he will

It is impossible for Qiu Bihan, the wife of the General Soldier, to stay in the inner courtyard of the General Soldier Mansion doing nothing all day long.

He wants her to slowly move to the front desk, or at least help him share some affairs, especially to play a decisive role when he is not in Songshan City.

Yang Zhen had laid so much groundwork before, and even though he didn't clearly state his intentions in the end, Qiu Bihan, who was very kind-hearted, revealed it at once.

She thought in her mind for a moment, then finally nodded and said softly: "Bihan understands what the general means. Everything will be subject to the general's arrangements."

In this era, ladies or girls from good families, when they reach a certain age, usually stay close to home and seldom show their faces in public. Only prostitutes, actors and women who are prostitutes or prostitutes will show their faces all day long.

Therefore, Yang Zhen's idea is not reasonable, otherwise, he would not specifically seek Qiu Bihan's opinion.

At that moment, Yang Zhen saw that she agreed after hesitating for a moment, and then ordered someone to go to the courtyard to prepare the incense table for worshiping heaven and earth in public.

Also taking advantage of this waiting time, Yang Zhen persuaded Qiu Bihan to agree, eliminating many trivial customs and slowly lifting the red hijab covering his head with both hands, revealing Qiu Bihan's stunningly beautiful face.
