Chapter 150 Wu Family Castle Wu Family

"Xie Yuan, temporarily take over the post of garrison officer, check the garrison fields of each garrison, re-measure the garrison fields, and divide the garrison fields. Can you do it?"

Yang Zhengshan asked in a deep voice.

"I will do my best!" Xie Yuan stepped out and bowed with his fists clasped.

Yang Zhengshan nodded and looked at Yang Minghao who was standing outside the door.

"Minghao, can you do a good job as the defense officer of Sand Ridge Fort?"

Yang Minghao, who was standing outside the door, was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurried into the hall, "Sir, I can do it well!"

A strange look flashed in Xie Yuan's eyes, and he understood what Yang Zhengshan meant.

Let his son be the defense officer of Shaling Fort to reduce his influence and control over Shaling Fort.

This is a test to see if he is loyal. If he still clings to Sand Ridge Castle in the future, it means he has ulterior motives.

After thinking about this clearly, Xie Yuan did not feel the slightest bit of aversion in his heart. Instead, he agreed with Yang Zhengshan's approach.

As a person in a higher position, the most important thing is control, control over subordinates, control over government offices at all levels, control over everything.

If you don't even have the most basic control, you're just a clay Buddha.

Yang Zhengshan is obviously not a clay Buddha.

"Wu An!" Yang Zhengshan looked at a young man in the hall again.

Wu An, the garrison officer of Wujiabao, is eighteen years old this year. He has a handsome appearance and looks like a harmless boy.

Wujiabao is a little special. All the military households in Wujiabao are surnamed Wu. The garrison officers of Wujiabao have always been from the Wu family, and this has been the case for nearly a hundred years.

As for why this situation occurred, it was because a hundred years ago, the Wu family's ancestor had produced a commander-in-chief, and the Wu family has risen and become stronger since then. Although the Wu family declined later, its foundation is still there.

A hundred years later, the Wu family has evolved into a martial arts family. Although it is only a relatively small martial arts family, they have always controlled Wujiabao.

Tian Gui had thought about conquering the Wu family before, but he met with failure at Wujiabao, and the Wu family ignored him.

Later, Tian Gui also caused trouble for the Wu family, but he finally gave up, probably because he was warned by the Wu family.

According to the information provided by the Secret Guards, the Wu family has at least two sixth-level acquired warriors, and more than thirty warriors.

Who would have the leisure to provoke such a family?

"Uh, I'm here!" Wu An didn't expect Yang Zhengshan to call him.

Although he was the garrison officer of Wujiabao, in reality, his father was the one who was in charge of Wujiabao.

He was just a figurehead as a garrison official. Apart from joining in the fun with the officials above him, he hardly took care of anything.

As for what Tian Gui did, the Wu family did not get involved.

Anyway, I will come if you ask me to, but if you don't ask me to do anything, I will be a transparent person.

"You will be the defense officer of Shuiquan Fort!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Ah!" Wu An looked at Yang Zhengshan in surprise.

The Wu family has always been honest and dutiful and has never thought about becoming a high-ranking official. In fact, that is not true. It is in the past twenty years that the Wu family has given up the idea of ​​becoming an official.

The reason is that the elders of the Wu family had long seen the fact that Chongshan Town was in decline.

"Isn't this inappropriate, sir?" Wu An said a little nervously.

"What's inappropriate?"

"I am young and inexperienced, and I am afraid I am not qualified for this position!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Minghao is my son, he is only sixteen years old this year, if he can do it, why can't you?"

"This~~" Wu An glanced at Yang Minghao who was standing next to him and complained in his heart.

He is qualified because he has a father who is a garrison commander, but my father is not a garrison commander.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you think you are not capable, then let your father come! Your father was also a garrison officer!"

In fact, Wu An only served as the Tunbu official for more than half a year. Before that, his father Wu Chongzhe was the Tunbu official.

However, Wu Chongzhe was too lazy to flatter Tian Gui and others, so he pushed his son to the position.

But what Yang Zhengshan wanted was not Wu An, but Wu Chongzhe.

Wu Chongzhe has reached the sixth level of acquired cultivation and is extremely powerful. It is such a waste to have such a talent staying at home all day.

If Wu Chongzhe was not currently holding an official position, Yang Zhengshan would have wanted him to be the garrison commander.

"Go back and discuss it with your father, and give me an answer within three days!" Yang Zhengshan did not give Wu An a chance to refuse and immediately decided the matter.

Anyway, one of you father and son must serve as the defense officer, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the father or the son.

It would be best if I am willing to do it. If not, then let my son do it.

Since my son has done it, can I just ignore it?
Yang Zhengshan is determined to defeat the Wu family.

Han Cheng and Xie Yuan both smiled knowingly when they heard Yang Zhengshan's words.

They were all born and raised in Anyuanzhou City, so they naturally knew the situation of the Wu family.

It was within their expectations that Yang Zhengshan would set his sights on the Wu family. If Yang Zhengshan had not thought of this, they might have reminded him.

"As for the vacant garrison officer position, Xie Yuan, the three of you can discuss and arrange it."

"Here!"

Xie Yuan and Yang Minghao responded first, and Wu An had no choice but to step forward and respond.

Yang Zhengshan is forcing Wu An to do something. Even if Wu An doesn't want to do it, he can't refuse, at least not now.

If he refused now, he would be slapping Yang Zhengshan in the face and rejecting Yang Zhengshan's kindness. Although the Wu family was independent, they could not offend the garrison commander at will.

At the very least, Wu An cannot make a decision. His father has to decide on this matter.

Everyone left, Yang Zhengshan kept Han Cheng and Song Dashan, and the three of them went to the study.

"The basic training of the first batch of soldiers has been completed, and now it's time for the second batch of soldiers to start training!"

Yang Zhengshan sat behind the desk and spoke softly.

"Your Excellency, I have already made the arrangements. The second batch of soldiers will start training tomorrow!" Han Cheng said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "Just take care of the training!"

At first, Xie Yuan felt a little uncomfortable with Yang Zhengshan's method of training soldiers, but since the basic training of this group of soldiers had been completed, he became familiar with these training methods.

With the help of Song Dashan, Yang Zhengshan doesn't have to worry too much.

"One more thing, give up your position as the captain first!" Yang Zhengshan looked at Han Cheng and saw that he was calm. He said, "Tomorrow, General Wang's eldest son Wang Sheng will come to our Anyuan City and want to learn our training methods. It's a good opportunity to let him serve as the captain first!"

As he spoke, Yang Zhengshan revealed a faint smile.

Han Cheng's eyes lit up, "Young Master Wang will stay in our garrison camp!"

"Whether we can let him stay depends on you!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Three days ago, Wang Bin personally wrote a letter saying that Wang Sheng was coming to Anyuan City and asked Yang Zhengshan to take good care of him.

Judging from the meaning of the letter, Wang Bin just wanted Wang Sheng to come and take a look and learn, but how could Yang Zhengshan let go of such a piece of fat meat that was right in his mouth?

That’s right, in Yang Zhengshan’s eyes, Wang Sheng is fat meat.

Whether he is a relative or the second generation of a general, it doesn’t really matter. The key is that this person can bring many benefits to Yang Zhengshan.

As long as there is benefit, Yang Zhengshan would worship him even if it is a clay Buddha, let alone a second-generation general.

What benefits can Wang Sheng bring?

With Wang Sheng around, no matter what happens in the future, Wang Bin will definitely not ignore the Anyuan City Garrison Office.

With Wang Sheng around, if Yang Zhengshan needs to go to Songzhouwei to do something, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Yang Zhengshan can even directly throw the matter to Wang Sheng.

With Wang Sheng around, if anything offends anyone, Wang Sheng can act as a pawn.

Han Cheng also knew the benefits of Wang Sheng's stay, so he agreed without hesitation.

……

The next morning.

Yang Zhengshan personally took Han Cheng out of the city to welcome Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng did not come alone. He brought with him a dozen followers and hundreds of soldiers, and also escorted more than 30 carts of supplies.

Seeing the long convoy, Yang Zhengshan couldn't stop smiling.

Look, this is the living Bodhisattva!

A big gift was given to me just after I arrived.

There were more than thirty carts filled with supplies, including food, fodder, and weapons.

This is obviously what Wang Bin meant.

"Greetings, Lord Yang!" Wang Sheng came closer, dismounted and saluted first.

Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "Nephew, please stop being polite! Hahaha~~"

Last time, it was Wang Sheng who tried to get close to Yang Zhengshan, calling him Uncle Yang one moment and Uncle the next, and now it was Yang Zhengshan's turn to get close to him.

He must acknowledge this nephew, and not only acknowledge him, but also take good care of him.

"Uncle, please come in!" Wang Sheng said with a smile.

Although he is the second generation of a general, he is not a playboy, otherwise he would not have come to learn the military training methods from Yang Zhengshan.

At this time, seeing Yang Zhengshan calling him nephew, he followed Yang Zhengshan's wishes and called him uncle.

"Okay, very good!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile, "It's cold here, let's talk about it when we get back!"

"Master Han, I'll leave these brothers to you to receive!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will entertain you brothers well!" Han Cheng said quickly.

Only then did Yang Zhengshan pull Wang Sheng back to the garrison office.

"Is General Wang busy lately?"

The two of them sat in the tea room, with the tea mist rising, and talked about family matters.

Since people call him uncle, it means that the two families have a relationship and naturally they want to chat about family matters.

"It's okay. There's nothing urgent recently." Wang Sheng said.

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and nodded. These words sounded ordinary, but they revealed a lot of information.

There have been no urgent matters recently, which means that Jiacheng is not preparing for war. In other words, Chongshan Town will not go on an expedition this year, and the Hu tribe in the East China Sea is relatively stable.

Afterwards, the two chatted about family matters for a while, mostly Yang Zhengshan asking about the situation of the Wang family.

Wang Bin was not a nobleman and did not hold any title, but his family had produced many military officers, especially Wang Bin's father, who served as the first-rank governor of the Central Army Governor's Office.

It’s a pity that Wang Bin’s father died too early, passing away due to illness when he was only in his early fifties. Otherwise, the Wang family would have been more prominent.

The Wang family’s base is no longer in Chongshan Town, but in eastern Shandong.
