During the next journey, Yang Yan seemed to have completely identified Qi Sheng, a young genius. Not only did he take the initiative to bring Qi Sheng to Yang Lin so that he could have a good relationship with his grandfather, he also said some words of praise to Qi Sheng, intentionally or unintentionally. .
Facing Yang Lin, Qi Sheng did not dare to talk nonsense like deceiving Yang Yan. After all, he became wiser with age.
He just silently accepted all Yang Yan's compliments and smiled every time Yang Lin looked at him.
An hour later.
Yang Yan suddenly said, "Commander, I don't think it's better than this. Generally, there are two lieutenants around you. I occupy one position, so why not give the other position to Qi Sheng? His late-stage innate strength is more than enough. "
Hearing this, Qi Sheng's eyes lit up. It would be really comfortable to work as a deputy general next to Yang Lin.
After all, although he was the captain of the Guards of Shen Zhong before, he had the most contact with Shen Zhong and was very close to him.
But no matter how close they are, they are just a captain.
He has a high hidden status, but like the housekeeper at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he doesn't actually have much power. He relies heavily on face to deal with things. Just like when Li Dao was arranged to enter Huangsha Town, he could only rely on heavy pressure.
If he were replaced by a lieutenant beside the commander, his status would instantly rise a lot.
Not only is he close to the commander-in-chief on the surface, but he also has a high hidden status, but he can also hold real power and be in charge of many troops.
Thinking of this, Qi Sheng couldn't help but look at Yang Lin expectantly.
Yang Lin glanced at Yang Yan, and then turned to Qi Sheng.
Under Yang Lin's gaze, Qi Sheng felt uncomfortable for some reason. He seemed to have a feeling of being invisible in those eyes, and he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat behind him.
Just when he could no longer hold on any longer, Yang Lin finally withdrew his gaze and asked proactively, "Qi family boy, do you think you can hold the position of deputy general?"
"call!"
Qi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of some things he had heard before, he nodded heavily, "Mr. Yang, I want this position. I know that my abilities may be slightly lacking, but I will learn and learn from Yang." Big brother, I will study with you and ensure that I will become a qualified lieutenant general in the shortest possible time."
Yang Lin nodded, "I am very humble, but also very confident, but I don't know if you are really capable of grasping it."
Qi Sheng lowered his head and did not answer, looking like he was waiting for an answer.
Upon seeing this, Yang Yan immediately came out to support his good brother and said bluntly, "Commander, don't worry. Qi Sheng has been with General Shen for several years and must have learned a lot. He may be better than me."
Yang Lin turned around and sneered, "Is it an honor to be better than you?"
Yang Yan was very confident, "Isn't it?"
Yang Lin: "Haha."
Finally, Yang Lin looked at Qi Sheng and said slowly, "That's it for now. Considering your talent, I will give you a chance."
Hearing this, Qi Sheng's eyes flashed with joy.
Obviously, the position of deputy general is about to be fulfilled.
However, just when Yang Lin was about to speak, the entire army suddenly stopped again.
This stopped Yang Lin's words from coming out.
Qi Sheng's face instantly turned ugly.
Yang Lin said, "Yang Yan, go to the front and see what's going on."
"Yes, Commander."
Yang Yan was also a little angry at this time. Seeing that his good brother was about to succeed in taking over, there were twists and turns at this time.
Soon, he rode to the front of the army to inquire about the situation. Under the explanation of the leading general, he discovered that the army was stopped again.
However, after hearing the opponent's reasons for stopping the army, Yang Yan's entire expression became strange.
Yang Yan looked at the person who stopped the army and said bluntly, "I understand, just come with me."
...
Because someone interrupted the process, Qi Sheng couldn't say much when he saw Yang Lin stopped talking, so he could only stand aside and wait in silence.
Soon, he and Yang Lin saw Yang Yan coming from not far away.
However, when Qi Sheng saw the person behind Yang Yan clearly, his entire expression froze instantly, and there was an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
On the side, Yang Lin was keenly aware of Qi Sheng's emotional changes, but he just glanced at him and did not speak.
Soon after, Yang Yan led people to Yang Lin and Qi Sheng.
If it had been before, Yang Yan would have moved to Qi Sheng's side at this time, but now he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Yang Lin glanced at the person behind Yang Yan and asked, "Yang Yan, who is he?"
Before Yang Yan could speak, the man behind him got off his horse, knelt on the ground and clasped his fists, saying, "Chen You, the young general of the Zhenbei Army, has met Commander Yang."
"Zhenbei Army?"
Yang Lin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qi Sheng aside.
at the same time.
Chen You suddenly noticed Qi Sheng beside him out of the corner of his eye, and he subconsciously wanted to speak.
But at this moment, Qi Sheng spoke first.
He suddenly said with excitement, "Chen You, have you escaped from Fufeng Pass too?"
Yang Lin asked, "You two know each other?"
Qi Sheng said immediately, "We know each other. How could we not know each other? We are all under General Shen. We were together resisting the Northern Barbarian army at Fufeng Pass."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Youdao and said, "General Chen You, do you think so?"
"Yes, but..."
Chen You had just said a few words, but was interrupted by Qi Sheng before he could finish. "Chen You, are you the only one who escaped? Or did someone escape with you?"
At this moment, in Qi Sheng's eyes, Chen You was as afraid of the Northern Barbarian army as he was and escaped from Fufeng Pass.
After all, in his opinion, Fufeng Pass was already in a dead end and no one could save it.
And if he escaped like him, it would be easy to say. As long as he can stabilize Chen You, then he can completely avoid the risk of his own exposure, and even use Chen You to deepen his current personality.
However, what happened next was completely beyond his imagination.
"Wait, who told you that I escaped from Fufeng Pass."
Chen You suddenly interrupted Qi Sheng's words.
Um?
Qi Sheng was a little confused at this moment. What was going on and why Chen You said such things.
Could it be that he was afraid of being held accountable for telling about his escape, so he said that on purpose.
However, how can such a lie that can be exposed at once stand up to scrutiny.
If the reinforcements arrive at Fufeng Pass, we will know the result.
Could it be that Chen You didn't expect to encounter reinforcements on his way, so he was a little incoherent.
So, Qi Sheng said quickly, "Chen You, are you a little excited because Fufeng Pass was broken? Now this is in front of the Taiping Gong, don't talk nonsense."
While talking, Qi Sheng also winked at Chen You intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that he would wake up and cooperate with his play.
However, Chen You didn't pay any attention to Qi Sheng's eyebrows.
Still emphasizing with certainty, "How could I be stimulated? Fufeng Pass has not been breached in the first place."
Hearing this, Qi Sheng's entire expression changed again.
He didn't expect Chen You to be so uncooperative. Could it be that the fall of Fufeng Pass really damaged his brain?
But at this time, Qi Sheng thought about it and it seemed that it was not a bad thing for Chen You to have a bad brain.
He used to be the only one responsible, but now there are two people.
And because Chen You's brain is broken, it's still just what he says.
Therefore, Qi Sheng clasped his fists at Yang Lin with a confident face and said, "Commander, General Chen You may be talking nonsense because he was too stimulated by the breach of Fufeng Pass. I hope you don't blame him."
Hearing this, Chen You blushed with anger. He didn't expect that what he had worked so hard to catch up with was waiting for others to label him as 'sick in the brain'.
He immediately said loudly, "Qi Sheng, let me emphasize to you again, Fufeng Pass has not been broken, it really has not been broken. The Northern Barbarian army was defeated by us and has fled in a panic."
Qi Sheng immediately turned around and asked, "Let me ask you first, how many people were left when we guarded the gate until the end."
Chen You answered truthfully, "Less than a hundred people."
Qi Sheng continued to ask, "How many people are there in the Northern Barbarian army?"
"Almost fifty thousand people."
"How can we win against a Northern Barbarian army of 50,000 people with less than a hundred people?"
"Finally we have help."
helper?
Qi Sheng was shocked and asked quickly, "The reinforcements are here. Where can you get help?"
"It's the remaining army on the grassland."
"how many people?"
"Three hundred people."
"Three hundred people?"
At first he was shocked when he heard his helper Qi Sheng, but he felt relieved when he heard that there were only 300 people.
So he couldn't help but said, "Including three hundred people, that's four hundred people. Facing an army of 50,000 Northern Barbarians, they not only defended Fufeng Pass, but also killed them?"
Chen You said directly, "So what, everything I said is true."
"Yes, yes, it's all true."
After Qi Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Yang Lin and Yang Yan aside.
The idea is simple, let them judge for themselves.
"Hahaha."
Yang Yan suddenly laughed and said bluntly, "I'm just telling you how could Brother Qi lie to others."
After speaking, he glanced at Chen You and said to Yang Lin, "Commander, I think General Chen You may have been really stimulated, so he put down his nonsense. I hope you don't blame him."
At the same time, Yang Yan couldn't help but apologize for his previous doubts.
Brother Qi is such a good person, how could he lie to him?
Chen You was a little confused at the moment. Why did one or two people say that he was confused? Didn't he just tell the truth? No one believed him when he told the truth.
At this time, Yang Lin also listened to the conversation between the two.
On the surface, Qi Sheng's words are indeed more authentic.
The 50,000 Northern Barbarian army was just ordinary soldiers, not counting the generals, and there were only 400 people in Fufeng Pass.
With such a gap, it would be difficult to defend the pass, let alone repel the Northern Barbarian army. Even if they were heavy and uninjured, it would be difficult to do so.
However, based on his own feelings, he was more biased towards Chen You.
After all, judging from the conversation, Chen You is obviously an honest man.
On the other hand, Qi Sheng didn't feel very good to him. He always felt a little oily and not like a kind person.
