When night fell, the staff general's yamen hung up the red lanterns, and people came and went in front of the door, which seemed to be very lively.

In the main courtyard, it was already brightly lit, and more than ten banquets were prepared, and all the soldiers sat around the table. Although the banquet has not yet officially opened, it is already full of alcohol.

Yang Xuan was wearing a crimson third-grade official robe, nearly fifty years old, with a gray beard, with the tall and sturdy body of Shandong people, and his old face was full of smiles, and he was resolutely a handsome man who had won a battle.

In addition to the guerrilla general Yan Zhan brought over by him, the generals at the same table were Fan Jian, the general of Tongzhou, and the commander of the six guards, and Zhang Jun, the former great hero, was arranged to the corner.

There was laughter and laughter here, and it was also very harmonious, and all the generals complimented Yang Xuan.

The guerrilla general Yan Zhan faced the soldiers present, said in a low voice, foaming at the mouth, and praised with a thumbs up: "The handsome man can be said to be the optimus prime of our Ming Dynasty, and his prestige is even more on the three sides of the town. Not to mention anything else, Tong Khan, the leader of Duoyanwei, is also a famous person outside the pass, and the baby doesn't dare to cry when he hears his name, but he uses a plan for the handsome, hehe, guess what? ”

At this time, he looked at the generals present triumphantly, and he was already deliberately trying to hang the appetite of the generals present.

The generals present naturally knew a little about Yang Xuan's exploits: in other words, Duoyanwei was one of the three Shituwei established during the Hongwu period with the Mongolian tribe as the main body, and now it is the most powerful. It's just that with the weakness of the Ming army, Duo Yanwei swayed between Meng and Han, and even married me as a family. In May last year, because of the capture of four Ming army sentries, Tonghan knocked on the pass to ask for a reward, and Hu Zhen, the deputy commander-in-chief, arrested Tonghan and more than a dozen followers.

This move undoubtedly worsened the relationship between the two sides, but Yang Xuan agreed with this approach. On the condition of releasing customs clearance, several sons of Tonghan were required to take turns as hostages and change them once every six months, so as to control Tonghan and Duoyanwei.

After Yang Xuan beautified his strategic intentions for the Duoyan Ministry, he reported it to Governor Xu Shen and others, and Jiajing praised them for their strategy and rewarded them.

But I have to say that it is not easy for the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty to appear a handsome talent. Even though Yang Xuan went through the deputy envoy of Yizhou's military armament, the governor of Datong and the governor of Jiliao, he did not make any dazzling military achievements, and this matter has become a topic of conversation that has been repeatedly brought out.

Cough......

Yang Xuan faced the compliment of this subordinate, but he coughed lightly, and his eyes glanced at Yan Zhan, the guerrilla general next to him, who was about to continue to add fuel and vinegar, and Yan Zhan even stopped the topic.

When Fan Jian, a general of Tongzhou, and others heard the cough, they looked at Yang Xuan one after another.

Yang Xuan's mind was not on these generals, but he asked lightly at Fan Jian: "General Fan, did you send the post, why haven't you seen anyone yet?" ”

The time was neither early nor late, but the generals present were almost there, but the most important guest was still missing, Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

A touch of embarrassment flashed on Fan Jian's face, and the post was naturally delivered, but he couldn't tell whether people would participate in this "obviously unworthy of the name" celebration banquet.

"Lin Shilang has arrived!"

It was at this time that the person who greeted the guests outside the door called out loudly.

"Lord Governor, the people are here!"

Fan Jian was thinking about how to prevaricate, but when he heard Lin Haoran coming, his face was also happy, and when he stood up from his position, he looked very excited and said to Yang Xuan.

All the generals left their seats one after another, wanting to follow Yang Xuan to the gate to greet Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the high Ministry of Rites, but they found that Yang Xuan was sitting in his position and did not move.

Seeing this scene, the generals couldn't take a step, as if they were locked by Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan learned that Lin Haoran had arrived, but like the clever Zhuge Liang, he proudly took a sip of the tea on the table, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a beautiful arc.

He knew that Lin Haoran would definitely come to the banquet, after all, Lin Haoran was suspected of overstepping his authority when he took over Tongzhou City, and opening the city gate to let the people into the city was even more disregarding the millions of stones, grains and grass in Tongzhou City.

Although Lin Haoran led the Tongzhou soldiers to a great victory, he also left a lot of places to attack. Even if these are good deeds, the emperor may not be happy, and may even punish Lin Haoran for this.

It is precisely in this way that he wants to intervene in this military exploit, and he, the rightful supreme manager, also wants to get a piece of the pie.

Lin Haoran was wearing a plain white Confucian shirt, and he had grown a little beard, and his whole person was full of scholarly spirit. As he walked in through the gate, the soldiers of the entire courtyard stood up one after another.

"The last general has seen Lin Butang!" Although Fan Jian, the general of Tongzhou, did not greet the door, he also stood at the beginning of the first table, and bowed to Lin Haoran who arrived.

"Huh...... Lord Lin, you're finally here, come and take a seat! Yang Xuan's butt seemed to be glued to the seat, and he pointed to an empty chair next to him and greeted enthusiastically.

Yang Xuan is a twenty-three year jinshi of Jiajing, initially awarded the official pedestrian, and then promoted to the imperial history, as the deputy envoy of the Yizhou military garrison, and then to the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate of Datong, and then to the right deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court as the governor of Jiliao, and now promoted to the right of the military department and the governor of Jiliao.

He has been in the office for less than 20 years, but from the imperial history to the right attendant of the military department, it can be said that he has prosperous official luck, and he is far older than Lin Haoran, and his qualifications are more profound.

Although his current status is not as good as Lin Haoran, Lin Haoran is not his superior, so if he puts on his old qualifications, it will make people have nothing to say.

Fan Jian and the others looked at the situation unclear, looked at Yang Xuan as if they were doing it, and secretly observed Lin Haoran's reaction.

Lin Haoran came to the end of the road, turned his head to look at Yang Xuan, who was sitting in the first seat, and asked curiously: "Governor Yang, could it be that the Tartars have been annihilated by you, so you set up a celebration banquet here?" ”

The smile on Yang Xuan's face disappeared immediately, and he squinted his eyes and glared at Lin Haoran. This kid is still a stunned young man, he doesn't understand the trade-offs of officialdom at all, and he is even on the edge of the cliff without knowing it.

Fan Jian also didn't expect Lin Haoran to pretend to be confused, and even smiled and said: "Back to Lin Butang, you are really a noble person who forgets things, and we are celebrating the victory at the North Gate!" ”

"Celebrating? Have the Tartars been beaten away? Lin Haoran turned his head to look at Fan Jian, and asked in a deep voice.

The soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, daring to love is not good! Although the Mongol cavalry had moved away from the capital and Tongzhou, they had not yet left the boundary of Shuntianfu, and were still burning and looting in Sanhe and other places.
