Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

On the training ground of the Yunzhou Garrison Camp, the sun shines all over the ground, reflecting the agile figures of the soldiers during training and the dusty scene.

At this time, a burly and resolute-looking general walked quickly to the center of the platform, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said loudly: "General Wang Caiwu pays his respects to the commander-in-chief!" His voice was as loud as a bell and echoed in the parade ground.

Yang He, standing on the sidelines, stood with his hands behind his back, looking sharply at Wang Caiwu and asking directly, "Zhang Jingwei just entered the camp. Do you know who he went to see?"

Wang Caiwu bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully, "General, I don't know!"

Yang He nodded expressionlessly, his tone calm but full of authority: "Bring them to see me."

Wang Caiwu responded without hesitation: "Yes, sir! Captain of the first battalion, go and bring the cavalry captain to me." As he gave the order, a majestic captain led a large group of fully armed soldiers and rushed towards the horse training ground of the Yunzhou garrison camp in a menacing manner.

Wang Caiwu turned to face Yang He and said with a smile, "General, please be patient. They will be brought here soon."

Yang He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied softly: "I'm not in a hurry! It's fine, just invite them over."

Soon, the sound of horse hooves began to approach from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, mighty horse galloping towards them. The rider was none other than Cavalry Captain Gao Fei. Gao Fei was a member of the light cavalry, so he wore light armor and looked very dashing. He expertly controlled his horse and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the center of the parade ground.

Wang Caiwu quickly stepped forward and said to Gao Fei with a smile, "Captain Gao, thank you for coming. I hope you won't blame me!"

Gao Fei dismounted and laughed heartily: "General, that's not right! Since you are the... the... the... the commander-in-chief..."

Wang Caiwu interrupted Gao Fei's stuttering words and whispered in his ear, "Okay, go ahead. Remember to be quiet. Brother Gao, your time to rise to prominence has come. Remember to forget us brothers when the time comes. I've always taken good care of you!"

Gao Fei chuckled and nodded.

He strode towards the commander-in-chief, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Your Excellency, may I ask your Excellency..."

Yang He stared at Gao Fei solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Gao Fei! This isn't the first time we've met. I'm asking you a question now, so just answer me honestly. Just say yes or no. Do you understand?"

Gao Fei nodded slightly and replied, "Yes!"

Yang He then asked, "Did Zhang Jingwei come to see you just now?"

Gao Fei nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Yang He's eyes were sharp as a torch, and he continued to ask, "Did he also give you a rifle?"

Gao Fei once again responded decisively: "Yes!"

Yang He crossed his arms, his eyes becoming increasingly fierce as he demanded, "Were you the one who kidnapped Han Ye that night?"

Gao Fei hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and admitted: "...Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Yang He frowned and his tone became even more stern: "So, there is a deep hatred between you and Han Ye?"

Gao Fei replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

Yang He pressed on, asking further: "So, you killed him purely for personal revenge, right?"

Faced with this question, Gao Fei suddenly seemed a little hesitant and stammered, "Yes... and... and... and... no..."

Yang He looked at Gao Fei, who was hesitating in front of him, with suspicion, frowned and asked, "Why do you have such an answer? Explain it to me clearly!" Gao Fei blushed and stammered, "Because... because... because..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden roar from not far away.

It turned out that Zhang Jingwei, who was hiding in the dark, could no longer suppress his anger and rushed out, shouting, "Because Han Ye deserves to die!"

Then, filled with righteous indignation, he continued, "This man oppresses the people, causing them to suffer misery; he withholds military pay, leaving the soldiers starving; he enriches himself, embezzling countless sums; he smuggles armor, plotting rebellion; even more despicable, he actually sells out his country for personal gain, attempting to collude with foreign enemies. Doesn't a man with such numerous crimes deserve death? Every one of them is punishable by death!"

Wang Caiwu whispered, "Sir, please be quiet. The commander-in-chief is not here to cause trouble for Captain Gao!"

When Yang He heard Zhang Jingwei's words, his face turned extremely ugly. He shouted angrily, "You are so noisy. I don't want to hear you! Shut up!" Then he turned his head abruptly, stared at Gao Fei, and said solemnly, "Jinzhou is currently short of a lieutenant general. With your skills and judgment shown on the battlefield, boy, you are qualified! I hereby order you to rush to Jinzhou to serve as a lieutenant general from today! You are to select thirty men to accompany you!"

Gao Fei was completely stunned when he heard this. He stared at Yang He with his eyes fixed on him, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word for a long time. He just stood there in a daze, like a statue.

At this moment, Wang Caiwu hurried forward and, with a beaming smile, bowed to Gao Fei and said, "Oh, congratulations, Captain Gao. Oh, no, from today on, I should call you General Gao! I sincerely congratulate you!"

Yang He patted the rifle on Gao Fei's back and sighed, "A fine steel spear? It's a fine weapon, but it needs a good master! I'm going back to the Taiyuan Governor's Mansion tomorrow. I'll send your transfer order directly to Jinzhou, and you can take up your post directly upon entering the city!"

Zhang Jingwei was not far away, and he was even more excited than Gao Fei. At first he thought that Yang He was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he was here to promote Gao Fei.

Zhang Jingwei quickly ran forward, bowed, and said, "Brother Gao! I knew this day would come for you! I'm congratulating General Gao in advance!"

Gao Fei finally came back to his senses. He knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much...thank you so much...Commander!"

Yang He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get up! The general of Jinzhou is a disciple brought up by me. You have to be more decisive when leading troops under him. He doesn't like people who are timid." After saying that, he glared at Zhang Jingwei.

Zhang Jingwei was frightened by this sudden look!

After Yang He gave a brief explanation, he left.

When the news reached the Marquis' Mansion, Huangfu Changshui was also very happy. He immediately took out two hundred taels of silver notes and said that he would hold a promotion banquet for Gao Fou, and the date was set for tomorrow.

Gao Fei had to order a large carriage before moving to Jinzhou, so he would stay in Yunzhou for one day tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow.
