"In my opinion, they just want to make a good name." Yang He said with a smile.

"That's right, I just want to make a good name." Zhang Fengqi nodded.

As soon as Zhang Fengqi's words fell, he saw Li Maochun, Hu Xiancheng and a middle-aged man in cloth clothes entering the house.

After a few people saw the ceremony, Zhang Fengqi pointed to the middle-aged man and said to Yang He: "Lord Yang, this official will introduce you to you, this is Fan Liufan's shopkeeper." ”

He said to the man again: "Shopkeeper Fan, this is President Yang Qian, and now he is the chief soldier of the county's regiment training." ”

"The villain has seen Lord Yang." Fan Liu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Yang He hugged his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, I'm really sorry to disturb your business." ”

Fan Liu hurriedly said: "It is an honor for the villains to meet the two adults. ”

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fan, Lord Yang wants to do business, but he doesn't know what business to make money, so the official called you here to ask, you have to give an idea." ”

"The adults can afford it, and the villains should know everything." Fan Liu said busily.

Zhang Fengqi nodded, looked at Yang He and said, "Lord Yang, this matter is not in a hurry, everyone is already gathered, let's sit down first, how about chatting while drinking?" ”

"That's what Master Zhang said." Yang He said with a smile.

Zhang Fengqi smiled and waved at Li Maochun and Yang He: "General Li, President Yang Qian, please!" ”

"Lord Zhang, please first." Li Maochun and Yang He laughed.

Zhang Fengqi smiled and said to Hu Xiancheng: "Brother Hu, let's not be polite." ”

He said to Fan Liu again: "Shopkeeper Fan, we are relatives, don't be polite, let's go." ”

"Thank you, sir." Fan Liu said busily.

Seeing that Fan Liu was so polite, Yang He nodded secretly in his heart: This person knows how to advance and retreat, and he is a person who acts prudently.

Zhang Fengqi invited a private guest, and the banquet was naturally set up in Zhang Fengqi's house.

Coming out of the back hall and passing through a courtyard, is Zhang Fengqi's residence.

Zhang Fengqi's residence has a total of three entrances, the first one is for the next person to live, and the middle one is for Zhang Fengqi's personal use, and the study and living room are all in this room. The latter one is the inner house, where the ladies live.

Walking through the courtyard before entering, Zhang Fengqi took a few people to the living room.

At this time, the banquet had been set up, and Zhang Fengqi immediately beckoned everyone to take a seat: "Let's drink, there will be no guests or hosts, let's sit casually." ”

Although Zhang Fengqi said so, Zhang Fengqi was the master after all, and finally sat in the position of the master. Yang He and the others pushed and conceded, and finally Yang He sat on Zhang Fengqi's left hand, Li Maochun sat on Zhang Fengqi's right hand, Hu Xiancheng sat next to Li Maochun, and Fan Liu sat next to Yang He.

In later generations, most people talked about things at the wine table, but in ancient times, few people talked about things at the wine table.

Because once you can't get down to business, you will lose the interest in eating and even drinking.

The ancients talked about the wind and snow at the wine table, and the literati would recite poems on the wine table to help the wine.

Talking about things is before or after the banquet, usually in the study or living room, drinking tea and talking about business.

Yang He didn't understand this, the first day he came to Funing County, and when he had a banquet in the evening, Yang He and Zhang Fengqi didn't talk about business.

However, Yang He and Li Maochun met Zhang Fengqi and others for the first time that day, and they were not familiar with each other, and there were too many people at that time, especially many people with low positions, and they only nodded their heads, so at the wine table that day, they couldn't say anything else except official business.

But today is different, now Zhang Fengqi and Yang He are very familiar, and the two have even formed an alliance, Li Maochun and Hu Xiancheng have also been familiar with each other for the past two days. Although Fan Liu is a new acquaintance, he is related to Zhang Fengqi, and he is not an outsider.

Actually, this circle is rather strange, two of the five people are magistrates and belong to the literati, two are soldiers, are warriors, and one is a merchant.

In the Ming Dynasty, the literati looked down on the warriors, and even more down on the merchants, and it was difficult for these three kinds of people to get together at a table to drink and eat, and even if they could get together, it was difficult to get along.

But this table is very harmonious.

During the banquet, Zhang Fengqi talked about some anecdotes he encountered when he served in various places, and Fan Liu talked about some anecdotes when he was doing business.

For Li Maochun and Hu Xiancheng, listening to these anecdotes is just a joke, but for Yang He, it can enhance his understanding of Daming, so Yang He listened very carefully.

Seeing that Yang He listened to himself very carefully, and occasionally showed a thoughtful look, Fan Liu couldn't help but feel a little strange.

This young man looks like a martial artist, but no matter how you look at it, he feels that this person is different from ordinary martial artists, and as for how different it is, Fan Liu can't say it.

Fan Liu told a strange story, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then looked at Yang He and said with a smile: "General Li, Lord Yang, I don't know what stories there are in the army, let's hear about it?" ”

Yang He shook his head lightly when he heard this: "What is the story in the army?" ”

"No, I heard that you fought a bloody battle with Jianlu in Liaodong, how can there be no story?" Fan Liuqi said.

Yang He shook his head: "Our experience of the bloody battle with Jianyu is not suitable to talk about at this time, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat after hearing it, let alone drink." ”

Li Maochun smiled when he heard this: "It's not that there are no stories to tell, I will tell you some things that President Yang Qian has done." ”

"Let's talk about it, Xia Guan has never heard of the story of President Yang Qian." Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

Li Maochun smiled and said: "I guess you all have some questions in your hearts, why Yang Qian was promoted to Qian Zong so young, in fact, if you know what Yang Qian is doing, I am afraid you will think that it is really condescending to let Yang Qian be the President of Qian." ”

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Li Maochun continued: "Speaking of which, I haven't known Mr. Yang Qian for a long time, probably only about twenty days." At that time, we were defending against the Jian'an captives at Xiping Fort.

Xiping Fort was very small, there were only 3,000 defenders in the city, and there were about 30,000 prisoners, we resisted Xiping Fort for two days, the gunpowder ran out, and the arrows were shot out, and we saw that we could not stop the captives. But that night, a fire broke out in the camp and we escaped from the city. ”

Hu Xiancheng said with surprise when he heard this: "Although the lower official has never been to the army, he also knows that the military camp is very strictly guarded, especially the fire, and it is even more strictly guarded, how could the camp suddenly catch fire?" ”

Fan Liu looked at Yang He and smiled: "That fire was set by Mr. Yang Qian, right?" ”

Li Maochun stretched out his thumb when he heard this: "The shopkeeper Fan is amazing, and he guessed that the fire was set by Mr. Yang Qian." ”

Fan Liu smiled and said: "It's nothing difficult to guess, General Li wants to tell the story of President Yang Qian, if this fire is not released by President Yang Qian, General Li will not say it." ”

Hu Xiancheng smiled when he heard this: "That's right." ”

"But there is something that the villain hasn't figured out, how does Yang Qian always sneak into the camp? Even if Jianyu rests at night, he must always send people to prevent the sneak attack of the people in the city, right? Fan Liu continued.

Yang He smiled and said, "I wasn't in Xiping Fort at the time. ”

"Even if you are not in Xiping Fort, but you can sneak into the camp and set it on fire, that skill is not small." Fan Liudao.

"Mr. Yang Qian not only sneaked into the camp and set fire to it, but also killed five or six prisoners in the camp. This is nothing, after Yang Qian came out of the camp of Jianguo, he ambushed Jianguo in the dungeon fort, and killed a total of 16 Jianguo. Li Maochun said with a smile.

"What? One person attacked and killed sixteen prisoners? The crowd was amazed.

Yang He said with a smile: "I also relied on the dark night and took advantage of the terrain, so I was lucky, and in addition, I was not alone in the ambush, there were more than ten brothers." ”

Li Maochun said with a smile: "Mr. Yang Qian is a righteous person, and when he has credit, he always wants to share some with his brothers." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood the meaning of Li Maochun's words, and they all nodded silently.

Li Maochun continued: "Later, we withdrew to Guangning City, when Guangning City was already in chaos, and it was General Yang Qian who quickly judged the situation and suggested that General Luo lead troops into the city to quell the rebellion.

After we put down the rebellion, Yang Qian always felt that Jianyu's movements were wrong, so he went out of the city alone, lurked in the mountains all night, captured two Jianyu spies, and found out Jianyu's movements. ”

Zhang Fengqi sighed when he heard this: "On such a cold day, Yang Qian can actually lurk in the mountains all night, so stoic, it's really amazing!" ”

Li Maochun smiled and told Yang He about blocking the north and south sides of Quang Ninh City with gunpowder, coming up with the idea of blowing up ice to block the enemy, and finally laying mines to block the pursuing troops of Jianyu.

Because he was afraid of sparing everyone's drinking, Li Maochun did not say anything about the part where Yang He ordered to save people. Rao is like this, everyone is still relaxed when they hear it, and they sigh one by one.

"Yang Qian is always wise and brave, the villain admires inexplicably, and the villain respects Yang Qian's cup." Fan Liu picked up his wine glass and said.

Yang He shook his head: "What wisdom and courage are both complete, it's just urgent." ”

However, he still picked up his wine glass and drank with Fan Liu.

Then, Zhang Fengqi and Hu Xiancheng also toasted Yang He with a glass of wine.

After drinking all the wine, Zhang Fengqi smiled and said, "That's the end of this wine today." ”

Li Maochun smiled when he heard this: "That's it, Ben will buy some materials, and I have to find someone to transport the materials back." ”

Yang He hurriedly said: "Brother Li, I asked Li Wei to go back and get the silver, and when the silver comes, you will immediately send the money to those merchants, don't let Lord Hu and them bear their reputations, besides, Lord Hu They work so hard, we can't treat them badly." ”

Li Maochun said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, brother knows how to do it." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, hugged his fists at Zhang Fengqi and said, "Lord Zhang, thank you for your hospitality." ”

He hugged Fan Liu again and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, if we have a chance to get together again in the future, I will not accompany him today." ”

Fan Liu hurriedly got up and bowed back, "General Li is polite." ”

Zhang Fengqi arched his hand at Li Maochun, turned his head to Hu Xiancheng and said: "Hu Xiancheng, you still follow General Li, you have to worry about reetting refugees in the past few days." ”

"Mingfu rest assured, I will do my best to do this well." Hu Xiancheng was busy.

Then he said to Yang He: "Mr. Yang Qian, you sit first, and the next official is out of company." ”

"There is Lord Cheng of Lao County to bother." Yang He said with a smile.

Hu Xiancheng arched his hand and walked out of the living room with Li Maochun.
