Chapter 142 I am a little older, but my kidneys are not weak.
The next day, Yang Zhengshan brought Yang Minghao and twenty soldiers, pulling three horse-drawn carriages to Jiacheng, where Songzhou Guard was located.
Originally, he wanted to pay a visit to Lieutenant General Wang Bin first, but Wang Bin was not in Jiacheng and was said to have gone to Chongshan Pass.
Probably he went to deliver holiday gifts.
Yang Zhengshan was guessing this in his mind, but he still felt a little regretful that he couldn't see Wang Bin. As a subordinate, he naturally had to show up in front of his leader often, especially when it came to giving gifts. If he couldn't see the real boss, he always felt like something was missing.
But he couldn't stay in Jiacheng waiting for Wang Bin, so he had no choice but to hand over the holiday gift he had prepared to the housekeeper in Wang Bin's mansion.
The housekeeper was very polite and invited Yang Zhengshan to come into the house and sit for a while. He also invited Wang Bin's eldest son Wang Sheng to receive Yang Zhengshan.
In the exquisitely decorated living room, Wang Sheng clasped his fists and said in a very gentle manner: "Nephew Wang Sheng greets Uncle Yang!"
Hearing this name, Yang Zhengshan felt a little strange.
"Meet the eldest young master. Haha, people outside say that the eldest young master is extremely talented and has extraordinary martial arts skills. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!"
Yang Zhengshan said in a flattering tone.
However, his words were not entirely flattery. The eldest son of the Wang family did have an extraordinary talent for martial arts. It was said that he became a warrior at the age of fifteen and a post-natal warrior at the age of eighteen. Now, at only twenty-three years old, he was already a fourth-level post-natal warrior.
Such qualifications are enough to be described as genius.
As for Yang Chengze, although he also became a warrior at the age of fifteen and a post-natal warrior at the age of eighteen, we should not forget that Yang Chengze achieved this with the help of Yang Zhengshan.
Compared with Wang Sheng, Yang Chengze is not even a little bit inferior.
Of course, this is a comparison with Yang Chengze in the past, the future is uncertain.
Lingquan water has the effect of enhancing potential, and potential can be regarded as talent. Today, people like Yang Chengze can be described as geniuses.
Yang Zhengshan didn't care how talented Wang Sheng was. He felt strange because Wang Sheng was so enthusiastic towards him and even called him Uncle Yang.
This title clearly put him and Wang Bin on the same level.
In terms of age, Yang Zhengshan is indeed about the same age as Wang Bin, but Wang Bin was a lieutenant general while he was just a garrison commander, so there was a big gap between their identities and status.
Logically speaking, Wang Sheng shouldn't need to be so polite to him.
"Uncle Yang, please take a seat!" Wang Sheng invited Yang Zhengshan to sit down, his attitude becoming more and more enthusiastic.
From Uncle Yang to Uncle Yang, the title becomes more intimate.
Yang Zhengshan was confused for a moment and could only sit down.
"My nephew heard that Uncle Yang is good at training soldiers and even wrote a record of training!" Wang Sheng's eyes were somewhat eager.
Yang Zhengshan nodded, "That's right!"
"Then, nephew, can I learn this method of training soldiers from Uncle Yang?" Wang Sheng said.
Yang Zhengshan nodded again, "Of course, I'll have someone send you a record of military training in a couple of days!"
"No, no, I want to go to Anyuan City and train with Uncle Yang for a while!" Wang Sheng then revealed his real purpose.
Yang Zhengshan was stunned. This young master actually wanted to stay with him.
In fact, Yang Zhengshan didn't know that the military training record he wrote had caused quite a stir in Chongshan Pass.
Compared with "Thirty-Six Strategies", "Military Training Records" is undoubtedly more pragmatic.
People who have read "Thirty-Six Strategies" may feel that the above strategies are too taken for granted. After all, strategies require understanding and perception. Whether they can be used, whether they know how to use them, and whether they can use them well all depend on people.
But "Military Training Records" is different. Everything written in "Military Training Records" can be directly applied to reality, and many of the military training methods in the book are very practical.
What Chongshan Town lacks the least is military officers, and most of them have experience in military training.
Many things in the book can be combined with their military training experiences, but no one has ever compiled these things together in such a complete and detailed manner before.
Many military attachés’ first impression after watching “Military Training Records” was that this is it.
This made many military officers highly agree with the contents of "Military Training Records".
Among them were Wang Bin and Wang Sheng. After Wang Bin got the "Military Training Records", he couldn't put it down and read it for several days. He also recruited a group of soldiers to try the training, which indirectly confirmed that the training methods in the book were indeed effective.
Wang Bin praised "Military Training Records" many times in front of Wang Sheng, which made Wang Sheng very interested in "Military Training Records", but he was more interested in Yang Zhengshan as a person.
So before Yang Zhengshan arrived, he had repeatedly instructed the housekeeper to notify him if Yang Zhengshan came.
Hearing Wang Sheng's request, Yang Zhengshan said hesitantly: "Is this appropriate? Will the lieutenant general agree?"
Wang Sheng's experience with him was not just simple learning.
This can be said to be teaching, educating and answering questions. Even if they are not master and disciple in name, they are master and disciple in reality.
Once this is done, Wang Sheng will have to treat him as a junior whenever he sees him, and he and Wang Bin will be true peers.
In official circles, seniority may not matter, but the gratitude to teachers cannot be ignored.
"Uncle Yang, don't worry, my father has agreed!" Wang Sheng said.
What else could Yang Zhengshan say? Even Wang Bin agreed, so he naturally couldn't refuse.
"After the year, the garrison camp in Anyuan City will be training, so you can go and give some instructions in person!"
"Those nephews would like to thank uncle!" Wang Sheng said with a smile on his face.
Uncle Yang has become an uncle again, and this is no longer a matter of seniority.
However, Yang Zhengshan also understood what Wang Sheng meant. It was impossible to become his disciple, but I wanted to learn your skills and would definitely respect you.
From now on you will be my uncle, and the Wang family and the Yang family will be on good terms.
Yang Zhengshan was naturally happy to see this happen. There was no harm in making friends with this young master, but there were many benefits.
Yang Zhengshan exchanged some pleasantries with Wang Sheng and then said goodbye.
Wang Sheng wanted to keep Yang Zhengshan for dinner, but Yang Zhengshan refused, saying he had official business to attend to.
He didn't have any official business, he was going to the Wei Si Yamen to give a gift to Sha Pingchuan.
After leaving the Wang family mansion, Yang Zhengshan came to the Wei Si Yamen and met the Wei Si commander Sha Pingchuan.
The commander was still as fat as a Maitreya Buddha, with a face full of a smile that brought wealth and peace.
"Lord Yang, hahahaha, please come in, please come in!"
Sha Pingchuan seemed very happy to see Yang Zhengshan.
"Your humble servant greets the commander-in-chief!" Yang Zhengshan bowed first, then followed Sha Pingchuan into the hall.
After the tea came, Yang Zhengshan handed the prepared gift list to Sha Pingchuan.
"As the New Year approaches, I am just expressing my gratitude to you. Please do not despise me, sir!"
Sha Pingchuan took the gift list but did not open it. He just put it aside. "I have never liked these mundane etiquettes, but since Lord Yang sent it, I will accept it shamelessly!"
"Haha, Lord Yang, you came just in time. Please stay for dinner today. Someone, someone~~"
Sha Pingchuan didn't even wait for Yang Zhengshan to speak, and directly arranged for people to prepare wine and food, which made Yang Zhengshan feel a little embarrassed.
It would be fine if Wang Sheng was so enthusiastic about him. After all, he was just holding a sinecure in the army. Apart from his identity as Wang Bin's eldest son, there was nothing else worthy of Yang Zhengshan's attention.
But Sha Pingchuan is Yang Zhengshan's immediate superior, and yet he is so enthusiastic.
Is it also because of the "Military Training Records"?
Yang Zhengshan was a little confused, but he couldn't refuse.
Soon the wine and food were ready, and the sumptuous cuisine made Yang Zhengshan secretly smack his lips in amazement.
There were more than a dozen dishes on the large eight-immortal table, and each one looked delicious.
"Come on, this is the best lamb and wine, Sir Yang, have a taste!"
Sha Pingchuan picked up the wine jug and filled Yang Zhengshan's glass.
When he heard that it was lamb wine, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Zhengshan's eyes.
Although he didn't drink often, he had heard of some of Dayong's fine wines.
This lamb wine is produced in Lingzhou and has a unique recipe. It is brewed with millet, tender lamb, fresh fruits and Chinese medicinal materials. It has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, and replenishing vitality.
It is said that Emperor Taizu of Darong benefited from lamb wine during his conquests, so he named it "Shiqiu Imperial Wine", and now this lamb wine is a tribute.
For warriors, lamb wine is also a rare medicinal wine.
In Chongshan Pass, only Baoyao Pavilion sells lamb wine, and a pot of two taels of lamb wine costs thirty taels.
Simply put, this thing is more expensive than gold.
Now Yang Zhengshan was even more confused. What did Sha Pingchuan mean by treating him with such fine wine?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but become alert.
Holding the wine, Yang Zhengshan smelled it and felt that there should be no poison in it.
"Then I'll toast to you, sir!"
No matter what Sha Pingchuan wanted to do, since he was at the table, he couldn't be rude.
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Sha Pingchuan waved his hand and shouted to the outside of the door: "Come in!"
Yang Zhengshan was confused and looked towards the door.
Soon, his expression became somewhat strange.
I saw a series of dancers in gauze skirts walking in from outside the door, their graceful figures dancing softly under the gauze, their every move showing enchantment and grace.
Especially the lead dancer, her smoky veil dancing gracefully, her exquisite figure looming in the distance, her pretty face with a bright smile.
Smile!
This smile is so contagious.
It's not that soul-stirring feeling, but a feeling that makes one happy.
Just seeing her smile makes people feel full of joy.
This feeling is more fascinating than any temptation.
Sir, are you testing the cadres?
Yang Zhengshan's emotions couldn't help but surge.
Damn, I’m a little older now, but my kidneys are not weak.
This test is really hard to resist!
Even though he had watched countless movies and met countless people in his previous life, Yang Zhengshan still felt a little itchy at this moment.
It's not his fault, he's in good health.
This warrior's body is naturally stronger than that of an ordinary person, and as Yang Zhengshan is an acquired warrior, his temper is naturally even stronger.
I don’t feel that way when I don’t think about it on weekdays, but now I see this scene.
Yang Zhengshan could only say, "I'll bear it."
