Chapter 147: You guessed it right!
But where can I find this general who is good at fighting?
To be honest, as the elite division of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Forbidden Army has many capable generals who can fight. It may be an exaggeration to say that there are too many, but it is definitely not many.
But the question is, who can abandon their family and career to join you, Ye Mingsheng, a general from a poor family, to go to Liaoyang, a bitter and cold place, to work?
Ye Mingsheng thought about it and sifted through some of the people he could think of, and finally felt that only Chen Yannian met his goals.
After so many battles in the palace, Ye Mingsheng is very familiar with Chen Yannian's command level. Although this old guy is not popular, his ability is really not that great. To be a commander and command thousands of people to fight, that is
More than enough.
Secondly, Chen Yannian is a decent man, with integrity and loyalty. We have worked together for several years. Ye Mingsheng has never heard that he took bribes from his subordinates. The benefits were that when he was in Liujing, the fighting was so hard, and he tried his best not to do so.
, gave up on a brother.
Although Ye Mingsheng is not a good person, he naturally hopes that his subordinates are good people who are loyal and loyal to him.
In addition, although Chen Yannian was not very convinced of himself, he also maintained a basic respect for himself, and completed the orders he gave with quality and quantity, and did not say that he deliberately cheated himself or anything like that...
It was precisely because of Chen Yannian's various benefits that Ye Mingsheng ignored some of his shortcomings and extended his olive branch to him.
Chen Yannian, who didn't understand Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, thought about it for a long time before he sighed slowly, looked at Ye Mingsheng, and said with regret and some self-deprecation:
"It's rare for adults to value my old bones so much. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely have a try with adults!"
Feeling the rejection in Chen Yannian's words, Ye Mingsheng could not hide the disappointment in his expression. He shook his head and took out an unsealed letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Yannian.
"This is········"
Regarding the letter handed over by Ye Mingsheng, Chen Yannian subconsciously accepted it, but looking at the letter, his expression was full of doubts.
"Sergeant Chen might as well take out the letter and take a look!" Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
Chen Yannian heard the words without doubting that he was there. He took out the letter paper from the envelope and glanced at the contents on it. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Commander Chen, Ye has no way to repay you for your help to me. I heard that the Hujie Army is planning to expand the strength of two battalions, so I specially wrote this to Mr. Fang Jingfang, the commander of the Hujie Forbidden Army.
I am writing a letter of recommendation, hoping to transfer our more than 400 brothers to the Hujie Forbidden Army."
"Master Fang is my fellow countryman. If you go to him with this letter, he will naturally take care of you. You don't have to worry about the matters at the Ministry of War. I have already established a good relationship with him. This should be the case.
It can be done in a few days!”
‘If nothing else happens, with the merits of this palace capital, I should call you Commander Chen soon!’ At this point, Ye Mingsheng smiled at Chen Yannian and cupped his hands.
After listening to Ye Mingsheng's explanation, although Chen Yan was old and prudent and had a calm personality, the joy in his heart could not be concealed on his old face.
As an old warrior, Chen Yannian has been fighting in the Forbidden Army for decades. He came from a poor family and was helpless in the Forbidden Army. At the age of only twenty-five, he was promoted to the rank of eighth-rank sentry commander based on his cumulative military exploits.
Location.
But no one expected that he would sit in the position of eighth-grade sentry commander for decades, which would turn him from a passionate young man full of ambitions to an old man who just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace.
··········
If we were just talking about military exploits, Chen Yannian should have been promoted to the position of commander at least ten years earlier, and now he might even have gone a step further and occupied a higher position.
But unfortunately, the world is so cruel. If you have no background, no backing, and no money, even if you are capable, strict with yourself, and clean yourself, it will be difficult for you to stand out among the Forbidden Army standing on the hilltop.
Although he followed Ye Mingsheng this time and made great contributions in the palace, to be honest, Chen Yannian, who had been disappointed countless times, did not expect to go further this time. He just hoped to get more rewards and wealth. He has three
Son, the pressure to save the bride price is still very high.
However, he never thought that what he had not been able to do for most of his life would probably be easily solved by Ye Mingsheng with a letter and a few words...
Feeling the joy emanating from Chen Yannian's emotions from the inside out, Ye Mingsheng felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Mou asked himself that he was not a good person, but he was definitely not a cold-blooded person!
He knows very well that the reason why he has been able to climb to the current position of General Huwei from the fifth rank, in addition to his own money and operations, is also because of the sacrifice of his brothers and the army to take the credit for him!
More than 1,000 people went out to fight, and only 400 came back. You can imagine how difficult it was...
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng also had a grateful attitude towards his group of people. If it were not for the greed of the original owner, more people might have been able to return to the Zhou family for reunion.
The court was responsible for the affairs of the dead, and he could not control so much, but Ye Mingsheng still wanted to do his part in the affairs of the living.
He was transferred to the Zhenwu Army as a high-ranking official. Xu Zhaojie had nothing to do with him. However, with his vengeful character, if he couldn't find any trouble for himself, he would most likely vent his anger on his subordinates. He was the commander, so he could find any excuse.
, can make life worse than death for everyone.
In order to prevent everyone from being implicated because of him, he asked Li Guangbin again this morning to ask him to help him get the matter done, so that the remaining 400 people would be transferred to the Hujie Army.
, As a result, Xu Zhaojie's arms are growing, but they can't reach the Hujie Forbidden Army.
With Chen Yannian's gratitude, Ye Mingsheng said goodbye and left. However, before leaving the camp, Ye Mingsheng recalled the conversation he had with Chen Yannian in the palace, and immediately said in a low voice that only he and Chen Yannian
A voice that only two people could hear said:
"You guessed it right..."
Although Ye Mingsheng said this sentence without any beginning or end, when it fell into Chen Yannian's ears, he froze on the spot and fell into deep thought.
Chapter completed!
