Chapter 144: Little Stone's Wife
Zhao Ji said that he would not let the prison army limit Tang Ning's power, but he did not say that he would not send the prison army. Zhao Ji was his rich prince in the capital, Yang Jian's affairs made him completely disappointed, this time Zhao Ji wanted to let him serve as a prisoner, but he refused.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ji sent a very unexpected person.
Liu Ling, a guy with facial features similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, ran to the army to serve as a supervisor.
Tang Ning, as the generalissimo of the Ninth Route Soldiers and Horses, can have a pro-military camp of less than 500 people according to the regulations. Tang Ning threw all the veterans of the Zhenguo Army who returned into the pro-soldier camp, and selected one person from them to be his pro-soldier commander.
That person was not very old, but Liu Ling felt that he was unusually familiar.
He knew that there were two people in the former Zhenguo Army who were particularly conspicuous, one was Niu Shishi and the other was Fang La.
For these two people, Liu Ling has investigated and remembered their appearances. And this pro-soldier system looks like Fang La.
Liu Ling knew what kind of person Tang Ning was, and he could probably guess what kind of means he would use to deal with the righteous thief after he went to Jingxi, but he wouldn't be so bold, right? It's better to test it yourself and don't misunderstand others.
So Liu Ling took advantage of the fact that the pro-soldier commander was busy instructing his subordinates, passed behind him, and suddenly shouted: "Thirteen! ”
"What are you doing! Didn't I tell you that you must wear a layer of soft armor inside your armor? Do you know how many lives this layer of soft armor has saved? ”
"We were wrong! Wu Command! ”
No response...... Liu Ling touched his long chin and thought with a frown.
Maybe I'm thinking too much......
The army led by Tang Ning arrived at Yingtianfu 15 days later, and Niu Shishi led an army of 6,000 men to garrison here.
Now that Downing is here, they don't have to work so hard. Xiaoshi hadn't seen Tang Ning for a long time, and as soon as they met, he had a bear hug with Tang Ning.
Then he invited Tang Ning to his home and introduced Tang Ning to his mother-in-law.
It turned out that in the past three years, he met a girl in Yingtianfu, when the rebels attacked Yingtianfu, he resisted desperately as the city gate guard, and he was alone at the city gate.
But after all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and in the end he can only choose to retreat.
By the time he was retreating, the rebels had already stormed the city. Some of them have a bad character, and after entering the city, they are not like other rebels, and they only have Ying Tianfu Mansion in their eyes.
They sneaked into the house and prepared to loot their belongings.
At this time, Xiaoshi found that there were still residents in the house who had not yet evacuated, so he came to rescue the girl and her grandparents.
The girl fell in love with Xiao Shi's bravery at first sight, so she expressed her heart when Xiao Shi led them out of Yingtianfu.
Xiaoshi actually has a woman in his heart, but he hasn't had a chance to meet him all these years. And he is also the eldest and almost thirty years old, and he has never had a chance to please his mother-in-law who has been fighting in the south and the north.
This girl is also handsome, and she has good cooking skills, so Xiaoshi agreed.
Later, the rebel army was infighting, and the officers and soldiers took the opportunity to counterattack Yingtianfu, and soon after taking it, Xiaoshi was appointed as the county lieutenant of Songcheng County, the seat of Yingtianfu, and led 6,000 troops to garrison Nanjing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two held a marriage. At that time, he also sent an invitation to Tang Ning, but Tang Ning was in a trance and didn't seem to notice it, so Wang Shi sent someone to go and send a gift.
Unable to attend Little Stone's wedding, not only Tang Ning was a little regretful, but Little Stone was even more.
He lost his father at a young age and lived in exile for nearly half a year. Until Downing found him, and since then, Downing has cared for him.
He always caused trouble when he was a child, and it was always Tangning who wiped his butt. And he can have today, all because of Downing. Otherwise, I don't know where I live a poor life.
For Tang Ning, Xiao Shi is grateful, Tang Ning regards him as a younger brother, and he also regards Tang Ning as an eldest brother.
Xiao Shi's wife's surname is Chen, and her name is very simple Chen Qin, which makes it easy to think that when her parents named her, she happened to eat celery.
has a more gentle and introverted personality, Tang Ning talked to Xiaoshi, and she quietly poured tea and water for the two of them.
"Brother and sister don't have to work, I'll just do it myself." Tang Ning stretched out his hand and pressed the teapot that Chen Qin was holding.
Chen Qin pursed her lips and said, "How can this work, you are a guest......"
"I'm not a guest." Tang Ning shook his head: "You are like a little stone, just call me Brother Ning."
Although I was not born to the same father and mother as Xiaoshi, his father and mother have a life-saving grace for me, just like recreating my parents. So we are not brothers, but we are better than brothers.
Between relatives, what kind of politeness. ”
Chen Qin glanced at the small stone that was smirking, and then at Tang Ning and said: "But husband, he didn't say that to me, he often mentioned you, but he respected you very much, saying that you are a good general, and it is a great honor for him to work under you......"
"He has the final say, or I have the final say." Tang Ning saw that Chen Qin was a little brainless, so he feigned anger and said: "In this case, I am still the generalissimo of the Nine Route Soldiers and Horses, do you listen to him or me?" ”
Chen Qin said with a sigh: "Oh, I heard that a marshal came to the city today, it turned out to be you, I thought it was ......."
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago that my Danyang Hou is my brother, but you still don't believe it." Believe it or not? When I finish this trip with Brother Ning, we will move our family to Runzhou and be neighbors with Brother Ning.
Although the city of Nanjing is good, it is still inferior to Runzhou in my eyes. There are many people here, the place is narrow, not as spacious as Runzhou, and there are Yangtze River, Shanghu, Nanshan
You can go shopping around the place where you have nothing to do. ”
Chen Qin lowered her eyebrows and said, "Listen to your husband." ”
Then she got up and went to relieve herself.
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "She's a good person, I just like her." But after all, it's a girl in Nanjing City, and it's a little ......."
"I understand, I understand." Tang Ning waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Shi to stop talking. If people hear it, it's not good: "I won't stay here for long, you arrange things at home as soon as possible, and go to the army to find me."
I'm going to leave tomorrow, and if the matter here is not resolved one day, it will take another day to recover Yanyun. ”
Xiao Shi nodded and said, "I don't have anything to arrange, just leave it to Xiaoqin, I can get up and go with you now." ”
"Stay at home with her tonight." Tang Ning smiled and patted Xiaoshi's shoulder: "I don't know how long it will take to go here, if I can accompany her more, I will accompany her more."
If you're afraid that she will be lonely, it's not impossible for me to send her to Runzhou. When she arrives, she might as well choose a place to build a house. ”
"That's a good idea." Little Stone said happily.
"Anyway, how to arrange for you and the couple to discuss it by themselves, I still have something to do, so I won't stay long." Downing stood up as he spoke, and walked out.
Xiaoshi wanted to stay with Tang Ning for dinner, but Tang Ning pushed it off on the grounds that there were still affairs in the army.
Going out and jumping into the carriage, Wu Tongzhi was closing his eyes in the carriage to recuperate.
"The two of you are about the same age, I think he is going to have a child like this, and you don't want to work hard?"
"Let's talk about it when everything is settled, it's not the time yet, the villain doesn't have that mind."
"Whatever you want, the boss is not small, and I don't bother to care about you."
“……”
As he spoke, Lin Wei shook the reins and urged the carriage. The little stone standing at the door felt that the sound in the carriage was familiar, so he stood at the door and thought for a while.
But in the end, I didn't come up with a result, so I simply gave up and continued to think about it.
Where are the rebels hiding? In fact, they have disappeared during this time, but such a huge scale will still attract attention after all.
Qingzhou and Mizhou, these two states are like a checkpoint on Jingxi Road, directly cutting off the entire Jingxi Road into two parts, east and west, and it is here that the rebels are entrenched.
Because of the terrain, it became quite difficult for officers and soldiers to enter. In addition, the rebels did not cause much trouble, and over time, the officers and soldiers simply ignored it.
But for Tangning, there is no reason to turn a blind eye and close an eye.
Why? Even if it wasn't for the purpose of quelling the rebellion, there were still 5,000 soldiers in the righteous army. Even if it weren't for them, a lot of gunpowder was made vigorously at the beginning, there should always be some stock, right?
Over the years, the White Lotus Society has not seen them idle......
