Happy Valentine’s Day in advance to my brothers and sisters!!

"Haha! Don't be too anxious about the meal! Governor Hong, you haven't introduced these generals to me yet!" Perhaps because of the cold reception he had just received, Zhang Ruoqi wanted to prove his authority to the generals in the hall.
Existence, he said to Hong Chengchou with a smile.
Hong Chengchou's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Ruoqi with some displeasure!
When should I introduce something, when can I not introduce it?
But now, the two of them had missed the time, and all the generals had been waiting in the hall for a long time. At this time, they should all be hungry!
Zhang Ruoqi didn't just go with the flow, but jumped out to block it. Didn't he think the public's dislike of him wasn't enough?
Originally, he had a detailed conversation with Zhang Ruoqi in the study room in the backyard just now. Zhang Ruoqi was very talkative and quite confident. Hong Chengchou thought that Zhang Ruoqi was really capable. However, just the moment he entered the hall, Zhang Ruoqi exposed his temperament of being high-minded and low-handed!
However, although his evaluation of Zhang Ruoqi instantly dropped several levels, he was still a supervisor after all, and he represented the emperor and the court. Hong Chengchou had no choice but to discredit him at this time, so he smiled and said: "That's fine! Take advantage of it.
The food hasn’t been served yet! I will introduce them one by one to the supervisor!"
Hong Chengchou deliberately emphasized the word "supervise the army", which was deliberately reminding Zhang Ruoqi!
But Zhang Ruoqi seemed completely unaware of it, and said generously, "Then Governor Lao Hong will be here!"
Hong Chengchou was startled and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, but it was fleeting!
After a moment, his signature kind smile appeared on his face again. He smiled and walked down the steps of the main seat in the hall. He pointed at Wu Sangui first and said: "Master Supervisor, this is the brave champion of the three armies, Xiao Wenjiu."
Ningyuan’s commander-in-chief Wu Sangui and Wu Junmen are on the side!”
"Master Supervisor, it's polite to lower your rank!" Wu Sangui stood up, cupped his hands, and said no more!
Not close, but not too indifferent, and behaved quite well!
Zhang Ruoqi seemed to ignore Wu Sangui's deliberate indifference, and said with a smile: "I have heard about Wu Junmen's Ming Dynasty for a long time! I am very lucky to see you today, very lucky!"
"Thank you, Mr. Supervisor!" Wu Sangui smiled softly and lowered his head slightly, still somewhat disdainful of Zhang Ruoqi!
Zhang Ruoqi wanted to have a fit, but Hong Chengchou smiled hurriedly and pointed to the two people on the other side and introduced: "This is Bai Guangen, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, and this is Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Miyun..."
~~~~~~
Watching Hong Chengchou keep wiping Zhang Ruoqi's butt, but Zhang Ruoqi still didn't restrain himself, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little helpless!
If this continues, Zhang Ruoqi will probably offend someone before the battle even begins!
At such a level, it is really too much to take it for granted!
However, Hong Chengchou is Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi is Zhang Ruoqi. After all, the two cannot be confused!
In Liu Ruyi's eyes, Zhang Ruoqi is just like a stick, and there is no hope of making friends with him or cooperating with him, but Liu Ruyi does not offend him just because of his arrogance!
At this time, Hong Chengchou had already finished introducing the generals and walked to Liu Ruyi's side!
He looked at Liu Ruyi with a smile and nodded slightly, "This must be the world-famous Zhendong General, Shandong Commander-in-Chief Liu Ruyi, Liu Junmen, right?"
"Liu Ruyi, a humble official, has met Governor Hong!" Liu Ruyi quickly knelt down on one knee and gave a standard military salute!
Hong Chengchou hurriedly laughed and helped Liu Ruyi up, "You don't have to be polite to Liu Junmen! Today, although this is the first time we have met, I have been known to Liu Junmen for a long time! There is Liu Junmen
The world-famous Colored Stone Army is here, and this governor feels a lot more at ease!"
Hong Chengchou's tone was very soft, neither too fast nor too slow. Moreover, when he spoke, he looked into Liu Ruyi's eyes for a moment, with kindness and a hint of indescribable appreciation, which made people feel comfortable when they saw and heard it.
!
Compared with Zhang Ruoqi, he is like a man in heaven and a man on earth.
However, Hong Chengchou's gentleness seems to have become an instinct. Although Liu Ruyi enjoys it, there is an indescribable resistance in her heart!
This feeling is hard to describe!
To put it simply, Hong Chengchou’s gentleness is a bit fake!
This is like the etiquette lady of later generations. Although she smiles sweetly when meeting people, it is a professional smile after all and does not come from the heart!
"Director Hong is so kind and loving, I am so flattered by my humble position! It is my duty to serve the emperor, serve the court, and share my worries for Governor Hong! If Governor Hong is asked to do anything in the future, I will definitely die without hesitation!" Liu Ruyi said respectfully to him.
Hong Chengchou cupped his hands and lowered his head slightly, not looking into Hong Chengchou's eyes!
A flash of disappointment flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes!
He had deliberately lowered his stature in order to win the favor of Liu Ruyi, who was very powerful in the army, but unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi didn't seem to appreciate it very much!
But what Hong Chengchou didn't know was that although Liu Ruyi was straight-tempered, his feelings were extremely sensitive. If Hong Chengchou was more sincere, Liu Ruyi would naturally follow the trend, because he himself is the governor and serves under him. This is Liu Ruyi.
Ruyi’s duty!
But his deliberate show of kindness made Liu Ruyi a little uncomfortable!
This feeling is somewhat indescribable!
After all, Liu Ruyi's future generations are particularly sensitive to this aspect of shopping malls.
‘If you laugh in front of you, I will stab you in the back!’ Liu Ruyi learned a ‘bloody’ lesson in later generations!
Coupled with Hong Chengchou's final choice in history, this had to make Liu Ruyi secretly guarded!
Just like Wang Pu, although he also has his own small-mindedness, it is just a small-mindedness. He is close to Liu Ruyi because Liu Ruyi's colorful stone soldiers are strong and strong. Following Liu Ruyi can protect his own life. This is human nature.
!
In addition, Wang Pu Lingtou was obedient, and although his stance was not firm at times, Liu Ruyi was sure to control him!
But for people like Hong Chengchou, Liu Ruyi couldn't see through him at this time, so naturally he wouldn't reveal anything easily!
"Haha! With Liu Junmen's words, I feel relieved! This is Supervisor Zhang Ruoqi, Mr. Zhang! I introduced you just now, and this time, we will introduce it again, and we will truly know each other.
!" Hong Chengchou glanced at Liu Ruyi and said with a smile.
"Liu Ruyi, who holds a low-level position in Shandong Province, has met Lord Supervisor of the Army!" Liu Ruyi smiled and bowed her hand to Zhang Ruoqi with some enthusiasm!
Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but be flattered!
When I walked around just now, I mostly encountered cold faces from the generals. Has anyone ever been as enthusiastic as Liu Ruyi?
"It's better to be a fellow countryman!" Zhang Ruoqi suddenly felt like a close friend of Liu Ruyi!
"Haha, Liu Junmen! I have long admired his famous name! You and I have the same roots, what a pity! Today, we can meet each other! Later, I will have a few toasts to Liu Junmen!" Zhang Ruoqi said with a happy smile.
"Haha! In that humble position, being respectful is not as good as obeying orders!" Liu Ruyi smiled and cupped her hands to Zhang Ruoqi, which was quite meaningful!
Zhang Ruoqi couldn't help but feel even more happy. It turned out that the gloom on his face had been swept away, and he suddenly became full of energy again!
~~~~~~
The banquet will begin soon!
Since Songshan is a fortress, it is naturally impossible to have any exquisite dishes. Most of them are local specialties, such as wild boar meat, roe deer meat, salted fish, fresh fish, etc., which make people feel fat when they look at them. However, these
The portions of the dishes are generous and can suit everyone’s appetite!
After struggling for so long, all the generals were very hungry, and Liu Ruyi was also very hungry. Naturally, without saying much, he grabbed the dishes on their respective tables and ate them!
In a short time, all the dishes on the table were gone!
At this time, Wang Pu suddenly lowered his voice and said to Liu Ruyi: "Brother Liu, that Zhang Ruoqi is just a villain, why is Brother Liu so polite to him?"
Liu Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Wang Pu, and said with a smile: "What? Brother Wang, can't you stand this guy anymore?"
"Don't you even need to ask~! This country bumpkin really thinks he is a big deal! How dare we starve our brothers! Governor Hong said that a good general is as good as a hungry soldier!" Wang Pu said with some dissatisfaction.
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "Okay! Brother Wang, it's over! Don't take it to heart! Let's have a drink together!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she picked up the wine glass on the table, gestured to Wang Pu, and drank it all in one gulp!
Wang Pu also understood what Liu Ruyi meant. Without further words, he picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck, and poured it into his stomach!
"Generals, colleagues! Today, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are trapped in Jinzhou, and our Ming Dynasty is facing a national crisis! Hong is favored by the emperor and leads the Liaodong situation. I only hope that all the generals can work together in the future
, Serve the country with loyalty, expel Huang Taiji’s minions, and give me peace in Liaodong! I would like to toast everyone to this glass of wine, Hong!” At this time, Hong Chengchou had almost finished eating, stood up, held the wine glass, and deeply expressed his gratitude to the generals in the audience.
He took a sip and drank all the wine in the glass!
Hong Chengchou's words are very beautiful, and coupled with his magnetic voice, it makes people feel instinctively convinced!
"I am willing to serve the emperor!"
"Willing to serve the imperial court!"
"I am willing to share the worries of Governor Hong!"
All the generals couldn't help but stand up one after another, gestured with their wine glasses, and drank it all!
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, "Haha! Today's banquet is a banquet! The generals can drink freely! However, there will be military affairs tomorrow, but you must not get drunk!"
Hong Chengchou deliberately used humor, and all the generals couldn't help laughing!
"Hong Du, don't worry! You just want me to go to the battlefield tomorrow, and I will keep the dogs and Tatars that I killed in ruins!"
"Director Hong, you are a true believer! Haha! What a joy!"
"…………"
Zhang Ruoqi wanted to say something at this time, but Hong Chengchou filled a glass for him himself and said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Zhang, let's have a drink!"
"Huh?" Zhang Ruoqi was stunned, quickly picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Director Hong, I'd like to show you my respect by lowering my rank first!"
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Master Zhang, the situation in Liaodong has just begun. In the days to come, we still need to work together and advance together!"
"What Governor Hong said is true! Today, I am being reckless in lowering my official position!" Zhang Ruoqi is by no means a fool and his political wisdom is not low for him to be in such a high position today. The reason why he is like this today is mostly because he wanted to
Then establish your own position!
But it is a pity that his method in the court obviously does not work among these vulgar soldiers in Liaodong!
And Hong Chengchou had made it so obvious, so he knew it was time to restrain himself!
In this way, each of them had an idea of what they were doing, and the atmosphere between the two couldn't help but become harmonious. They toasted frequently, like old friends they hadn't seen for many years!
~~~~
In the audience, although Liu Ruyi was constantly being admired by the generals, his eyes never left Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruoqi's side.
The generals were drinking happily and did not notice Liu Ruyi's thoughts at all!
On the side, Wu Sangui was also holding a wine glass, sipping gently, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about!
Liu Ruyi glanced around the hall and shook her head slightly!
'That's okay! It's better to be aware of it in hindsight! At least you don't have to spend so much effort trying to figure out the thoughts of the two gods on the stage like you did! Since it's already like this, it's better to drink this meal of ~decapitation wine~ to your heart's content
