For Liu Chengyou, it was gratifying to discover Yang Ye, but he was not overjoyed. Before he has a reliable record to prove his worth, he is just a squad leader. At most, he will immediately become a "centurion".
In this era, generals are basically made by fighting. There are too many people who are "famous generals" because they are brave, not afraid of death, dare to fight hard, and with a little luck, survive in the end.
Yang Ye, compared to those brave men, certainly has the appearance of a famous general and the brilliance of a general. However, whether he can play like "historically", Liu Chengyou is waiting for his performance. The general would inevitably die on the battlefield. Maybe there was an accident and Yang Ye died on the way?
Yang Ye, on his side, returned to the military camp under Dongweng City with a solemn expression. They were not all on duty at this time. Their comrades were all staying in the camp, washing military uniforms, repairing and sharpening swords, or playing tricks. Fist and kick, or get together to chat, some even sleep on the bunk...
Yang Ye silently went to his bunk, sat down cross-legged, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and wiped it carefully. The sword was of course a precious sword, given to him by his father, who had drank a lot of blood over the years.
The shiny blade reflected Yang Ye's eyes, which were calm and composed, but the look of contemplation on his chiseled face became increasingly intense.
Yang Ye is considered a celebrity in the camp. He is young, extremely powerful, and has a flexible mind, but he is also rigid in doing things. Although he was a thorn in the eyes of Shangguan, Yang Ye still had a good reputation among the grassroots soldiers, and many people were impressed by his wisdom, courage and character.
His performance immediately attracted the attention of others. Dutou came over with two soldiers, sat beside his shop, and asked curiously: "Yang Chonggui, I heard that you were summoned by a nobleman. What's the matter?"
Yang Ye raised his eyes and glanced at Dutou. From his eyes, Yang Ye could feel some concern. Shaking his head, Yang Ye replied: "It's nothing. The second prince called me and invited me to have a meal."
Nadu immediately showed a look of disbelief: "Don't be joking, what is the identity of His Royal Highness, why would you specially invite a little captain like you to dinner?"
"Then tell me, why did the second prince specially invite me, a little captain, to come to the palace?" Yang Ye asked, his expression already relaxed.
"this......"
"Captain, the food His Royal Highness treats you must be delicious!" At this time, a pawn next to him asked excitedly.
Glancing at him, Yang Ye couldn't help but think of the "simple meal" he had with Liu Chengyou. Thinking of Liu Chengyou's cold face, Yang Ye couldn't help but feel a little fondness in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness's invitation is naturally a treasure from mountains and seas, pearls and emeralds..."
After taking a breath, Yang Ye suddenly regained his composure, stood up and started to pack up his belongings.
"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Du asked with his head furrowed.
"Zhang Tou!" Looking at Du Tou in a blink of an eye, Yang Ye said, "I was transferred to the Longqi Army!"
"Long Qijun?" Zhang Dutou was not a fool at all, and he quickly realized: "His Royal Highness is looking for you, that's probably why he's looking for you!"
Yang Ye nodded.
Zhang Dutou immediately patted Yang Ye's shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know where you got your luck, but you were chosen by the second prince. I knew that you, Yang Chonggui, are an extraordinary person. Now that you are favored by the prince, you will become rich in the future. , but don’t forget the brothers..."
Yang Ye smiled lightly: "Zhang Tou has always taken great care of Yang Ye, and we will never forget him."
————————
Fifty miles southeast of Jinyang, across the water from Beibin Cave, there is Yuci Xiaoyi. It is located in the plains of central Shanxi, so although it does not have a strategic location, it is bordered by Qingyuan to the west, Shouyang to the east, and Taigu to the south, so it can be regarded as a transportation hub.
The most important thing is that it is too close to Jinyang, the capital city, so it is called the "Gateway of Jinyang". After Liu Zhiyuan ruled Hedong, it has been stable for several years. The people in the county are not rich, but they are better off living in peace. At this time of war and chaos, we are very lucky.
The city built with rammed loess was not large, a typical three-mile territory. In an alley in the southeast of the small town, there is a courtyard. It is not very luxurious, but judging from its lintel, it is obviously the residence of an official. From the words engraved on the plaque, it can be seen that the owner of the mansion has a compound surname of "Murong".
Accompanied by several "Xing Yu Yu" sounds, a crisp sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility in the alley. Two knights came slowly on horseback. The leader glanced at the door plaque, quickly dismounted, stepped forward, and carried Knock the door knocker hard.
Before long, the door opened slowly, and half of his body leaned out, dressed as a servant. Looking at the two of them doubtfully, the concierge asked: "Who are you?"
"Is this Murong Yanzhao's home?" the leading knight asked directly.
"Exactly!" The concierge nodded and continued to ask: "Where are you from, and what do you want from my master?"
After being affirmed, the leader's expression relaxed and he said loudly: "We are the personal soldiers of General Guo Weiguo, the Kongmu officer of the Tibetan and Han horse infantry forces. The King of Peking ascended the throne and wanted to summon the heroes of the world to attack the Khitan. The general heard that your master is brave enough to dry fruits. Yi, I’m here to invite you!”
After hearing his explanation, the concierge smiled and shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Guo Wei's soldiers asked in confusion.
"You are late!" The porter pointed to the north and explained, "Yesterday, soldiers came and took my master away."
Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but ask: "I dare to ask, little brother, do you know who invited your master away?"
The concierge replied: "I heard from people that he seems to be some kind of 'His Royal Highness'..."
The visitors couldn't help but be astonished. After going inside and paying homage to the Murong family's mistress, they finally confirmed that the person they were looking for was indeed invited to Jinyang by the "Second Prince". In desperation, the two knights had no choice but to turn around and return to life.
When Guo Mansion in Jinyang learned the results from the returning soldiers, Guo Wei couldn't help but show surprise on his face again. Liu Chengyou's autistic face appeared in his mind, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart: This second prince is really very human. !
"General!"
The call of the soldiers brought Guo Wei back to his senses. He sighed and waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's forget about it and stand down!"
After the soldiers retreated, Guo Wei couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a long time, he finally felt relieved and muttered: "First my son, then Murong Yanzhao, but these two princes have surprisingly good eyesight!"
...
In the evening, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly summoned him to hold a military meeting, and Liu Chengyou entered the palace as ordered. Coincidentally, Liu Chengyou and Guo Wei arrived in front of Taiyuan Palace.
"Your Highness!"
"General Guo!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness!" After saying hello, Guo Wei said with a chuckle.
"Why are you so happy?" Liu Chengyou was a little confused.
Guo Wei said: "Congratulations to Your Highness on your new general!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's cold expression did not change much, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he squinted at Guo Wei, feeling cold in his heart: Is this person staring at him secretly?
However, Liu Chengyou thought that the general's talent mentioned by Guo Wei was referring to Yang Ye.
Just as he was about to say a few words, he heard Guo Wei say slowly: "Murong Yanzhao was born in a general family. He is brave and capable, and has a good reputation. He has long been willing to summon the generals. However, it is his destiny to obey your orders, Your Highness." !”
Liu Chengyou suddenly realized, the coldness on his face became a little lighter, and he waved his hand lightly: "I also got the name Murong Yanzhao by chance. The new dynasty was just established, the world is uncertain, it is the time to hire people. Even General Guo If you like him, then I will put him to good use. I still believe in the general's vision of people!"
"Your Highness has a way of looking at people that the general admires!" Guo Wei replied.
