Until noon.
Li Xuewen hosted a sumptuous banquet in the hotel to entertain Xu Shichang's family.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Xu Shichang asked: "Sizhe, what position do you currently hold in the army?"
"Batalion Commander." Li Sizhe replied.
"You are still young and have become a battalion commander now. Work hard and you will have a bright future," Xu Shichang said. "In addition, I heard that you once served as a soldier under Mr. Yuan. Later, due to various reasons, you went to He went to Qingfeng Village and then followed Zhang Tianhe, right?"
"Oh, yes, yes." When Li Sizhe heard this, it turned out that he knew his past very well and couldn't hide it.
"You may think it's a little strange, but actually it's nothing. You served as a soldier under Mr. Yuan, and there are files on file. I've read your information." Xu Shichang explained.
When everyone heard it, it turned out to be so.
"I think you may have misunderstood Mr. Yuan. He is definitely not as simple as you think. As an official in the court, many things are beyond your control," Xu Shichang said.
"Lao Xu is right, I feel the same way." Li Xuewen said.
"Sizhe, have you learned artillery abroad?" Xu Shichang asked again.
"Yes." Li Sizhe thought to himself that he knew his details very clearly.
"This major is good and has a bright future. With the development of science and technology, each country will set up its own artillery team, and we are no exception. As the saying goes, artillery is the god of war. Small-scale wars are better, but large-scale wars are better. A battle of this scale is absolutely indispensable for artillery," Xu Shichang said. "I have specifically elaborated on these military theories in my book."
"Old Xu can be said to be a military expert." Li Xuewen said.
"Old Li, don't put your hat on me, I'm just talking about the situation," Xu Shichang said, "I heard that your army will go to the front line to fight the Mongolian bandits this time, is that right?"
"Yes." Li Sizhe replied.
"This battle is very dangerous. Zhao Erxun is really petty. I heard that he gave you ten cannons," Xu Shichang said. "After dinner, I will go and talk to him and ask him to give it to you again." What do you think of the addition of twenty mountain cannons, twenty field cannons, and two thousand cannon shells? I think he still wants to give me this little face."
"Oh, if that's really the case, that would be great." Li Sizhe said.
"But this battle is very dangerous, so you don't have to participate. You can just do the logistics work in the rear," Xu Shichang said. "If Zhang Tianhe can come back alive, then you can tell me that I Let Lao Zhao promote you two to official positions."
"This..." Li Sizhe thought that his future father-in-law was also protective of his shortcomings. Before he was here, he started to feel sorry for himself.
"Uncle, no matter what, on behalf of our Commander Zhang, I would like to thank you first. Here are three glasses of wine for you." Li Sizhe stood up, holding the glass in both hands.
"Okay, I'll drink this wine." Xu Shichang said happily.
After he finished three glasses of wine, he said, "I've also heard about this guy Zhang Tianhe. He's very capable. I'll have to meet him if I have a chance in the future."
"When the Mongolian bandits are wiped out, I will definitely take him to see you." Li Sizhe said.
"Okay, if you're ambitious, I'll wait." Xu Shichang burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Xu Tianjiao was very quiet and didn't speak. She just listened quietly. At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Li Sizhe, and then looked away for fear of being discovered by Li Sizhe.
In fact, Li Sizhe had already seen it, but he just pretended not to know.
