It stands to reason that since he has become the superintendent, he Tang Ning should be the commander of the thousand people who were transferred from the Zhenjiang army.

It stands to reason that as a commander, you should have majesty, you should not be angry, and you should stand there, so that the soldiers can respect from the heart.

But when a young man who was slumped on a horse with sour water at the corner of his mouth and twitching from time to time appeared in the soldier's field of vision, none of them could imagine that this young man was their future commander......

"Shame on you! The old man's face is all for you to lose! "The procession was moving forward, and in a carriage, Downing was lying on the side panel of the carriage, his eyes glazed and numb.

Zhou Huai reprimanded Tang Ning bitterly, and made a fool of himself in front of more than a thousand people, if it was himself, he would simply find a crooked neck tree and hang him.

Tang Ning secretly wept and said in a low voice: "Master, the disciple has never ridden a horse before, who knows that he will faint from the horse."

Master, you should be glad that your disciple hasn't eaten in the morning, otherwise the scene would have been even more unsightly.

Today, I was finally helped by Brother Sun to complete the order, if I have vomit all over my body, let alone give the order, I will stand on the stage, and the soldiers below may have to mutiny. ”

Zhou Huai stomped his feet angrily, pointed at Tang Ning and scolded: "It's just that you can still say such a shameful thing as a good thing, it's really angry with the old man, how can the old man find a little bastard like you as an apprentice!" ”

Then he scolded a few more words, and then took out a few wrapped snacks from the splint of the carriage, handed them to Tang Ning, and said angrily: "Hurry up and eat, don't be hungry." ”

What kind of person is Tang Ning, he can be a shield if he is thick-skinned. Just now, I pretended to be remorseful for the sake of the master's anger, but now when I saw the food, I immediately smiled.

He shouted thank you, Master, and began to eat.

Zhou Huai scolded the little bastard again before he said, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

A thousand people marched mightily on the main road, which was naturally extremely majestic, and on the way, Downing saw several times that there were little hairy thieves sneakily looking at the mountains on both sides of the road, but in the end they disappeared.

I thought that I couldn't afford such a big business, so I stopped fighting.

But Tang Ning still seems to have underestimated the capabilities of this group of bandits, of course, this is a later story.

The order issued by the Privy Council was not only for Runzhou, but for all roads, states and counties in the Great Song Dynasty, and a small number of troops were transferred to Huanzhou as reinforcements.

Tang Ning didn't understand it after knowing it, the North and South Song Dynasty have been fighting for more than 300 years, if they transfer troops like this every day, wouldn't it be a bit of a fuss?

So I ran to ask Master.

When Zhou Huai heard this, he replied with a smile:

"Now the emperor of Western Xia is Li Qianshun, who is just eight years old, and his mother, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, is in charge of the government.

This Empress Dowager Liang is the niece of the previous Empress Dowager Liang. She doesn't have the ability of the Empress Dowager Liang, but she wants to be a powerful empress dowager like the Empress Dowager Liang. So she appointed a large number of Liang clansmen as officials, because now the Western Xia is a relative in power.

Tang Ning, your master has taught you a lot. Over the past year or so, I have taught you a lot with Zhuliu Mountain.

Now I would like to ask you, now that the Western Xia is in power, what will be the domestic situation? ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Other nobles will be dissatisfied, and scholars from poor backgrounds will be excluded. The people of the Liang clan will be arrogant, and the people will be exploited and persecuted by the Liang clan, and the country will be full of complaints and grief.

Since ancient times, relatives have been in power. ”

Zhou Huai smiled and said: "Exactly, so in order to stabilize the chaotic situation in the country, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang will use other ways to divert the attention of all levels of the domestic class."

War is the best way, since she exchanged the 30,000 Song army prisoners in the first battle of Yongle City with the official family last year for the four villages of Jialu, Mizhi, Futu, and Anjiang, the country has been full of voices singing praises of virtue.

But a short-term victory could not bring long-term stability, and when she realized this, she began to send soldiers to raid our border passes, which is why Zhang Zhifu said:

'The Western Xia was greedy for profit and fear, and if no punishment was given, there was no truce on the border. ’

The official family also sent secret spies to the Western Xia to find out the information, saying that the Western Xia is now full of contradictions. Empress Dowager Xiaoliang is gathering troops and horses from all over the country to prepare for a personal expedition to ease the tense situation in the country.

That's why the Privy Council responded in this way, that is to say, this battle can only be won, not defeated. If we win, we will not only win a simple military victory, but politically, we can also achieve the effect of inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

The so-called killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, is like this. ”

Tang Ning nodded, what the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang did, hundreds of years later, there was a country that said that it was a beacon of freedom while building walls, and their emperor Trump often did this kind of thing.

Arching his hand, Tang Ning said, "The disciple has been taught." ”

Zhou Huai shook his head and said with a smile: "These things, you just don't know." If you know the situation in Western Xia, you can naturally analyze it with your wisdom. ”

Tang Ning smiled, patted a little fart and said, "Master has won the award, if it weren't for you, Master, I wouldn't even know a little bit about it." ”

Zhou Huai said angrily: "I know that verbal flowers, go and go, don't continue to obstruct the old man's eyes here." With this kung fu, take a good look at the "Art of War" and "Sun Bin Art of War" handed over to you by the old man, and there will always be a time when they will be useful in the future. ”

"The disciple obeys." Tang Ning jumped out of the carriage in response, because the carriage was advancing, and Tang Ning didn't stand firm when he jumped down, so he fell to the ground and fell a.

A simple-looking van soldier stepped forward and picked up Tang Ning and said, "Supervising the envoy, are you okay?" ”

Tang Ning patted the dust on his body, coughed and said, "It's okay, thank you very much." ”

The army sighed, returned to the team and continued to follow the large army, Tang Ning was depressed, so he turned over and rode on the gray horse pacing leisurely.

It has been five days since he set off from Runzhou, and in these five days, under Zhou Huai's coercion and temptation, Tang Ning has done nothing else and has ridden a horse.

This horse was specially selected by Sun He for Tang Ning, and it was very suitable for a novice like him.

A docile mare will never tumble off her horse as long as it doesn't irritate her.

Tang Ning still likes her, maybe this is what I used to say, I have been single for a long time and I have beautiful eyebrows.

In the past five days, Downing's progress in riding has only been reflected in learning to get on and off the horse, and not falling off the horse while walking slowly.

If the horse runs, he still can't control it.

That's it, there was some discomfort at the base of the legs of both thighs, although it was not worn out, but when Tang Ning secretly looked at it alone at night, he found that it had been worn red.

"Ash, when did you say we would be able to ride you all over the ground without falling?" Tang Ning asked with emotion while stroking Ah Ash's mane.

Ash didn't know if she understood, but her head and neck shook slightly, and Downing thought it was a denial, from a horse's contempt for herself.

………………

Three days later, in the evening, the team arrived at Zhongshan Mountain, located in the east of Hangzhou, which has long been a favorite place for literati and scholars. I heard that Sun Quan and countless emperors and meritorious relatives are buried here.

In fact, Tang Ning wanted to go and see, and it happened to be a stopby. But Zhou Huai looks amiable on weekdays, but as soon as he arrives in the army, he seems to have changed as a person.

Ordered to go down and set up camp, make a fire and make food, and wait for a thousand soldiers and horses in Hangzhou that were about to join him.

During this period, soldiers were strictly forbidden to run around, and if they violated, they were punished as deserters.

Tang Ning had been leading Ah Ash to the edge of the camp, but when he heard this, he hurriedly led Ah Ash back and honestly waited for the meal.

The food of the army escorting grain and grass is gruel, who is to reason with this? Tang Ning wanted to protest, but after thinking about it, he didn't know who to fight.

The top boss of this group is himself, and his top boss is Zhou Huai. But Zhou Huai's top boss is amazing, that's the imperial court, your resistance to the imperial court is tantamount to creating a rebellion against the imperial court, and it is going to kill the head.

So he drank the porridge miserably with a bowl in his hand, and after he went back, he looked for Wang Zhi, who didn't even dare to see anyone all day.

Speaking of which, this guy also deserves it, he drank the blood of soldiers in Runzhou at the beginning, and now the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction from Runzhou have not been sucked by him.

Maybe in Runzhou, these people still dare not do it because of Wang Zhi's identity, but it is different when they go out of Runzhou.

A bandit attack team came, and this group of people might be the first to kill Wang Zhi.

Anyway, it is impossible to tell who kills who in the chaotic army, and there were too many such things in ancient wars.

Seeing Tang Ning, Wang Zhi was speechless with excitement, grabbed Tang Ning's hand and said, "Brother Tang, Brother Tang, you have to help me, you have to help me find a way!" ”

Tang Ning said helplessly: "What can I do?" Why don't you spit out all the soldier's blood you drank before and return it? ”

Wang Zhi hurriedly said: "I want to too, but now even if I spit it out, where can I turn gold and silver treasures into gold and silver treasures for them?" In this wilderness, I can't find a pawnshop, and I can't talk about anything that I haven't paid back.

Brother Tang, you are the superintendent of the transport, I am a little general under your command who has no rank, you quickly think of a way, aren't you literati good at rectifying military discipline?

Hurry up and rectify it, otherwise if you encounter bandits, Brother Tang, you will wait to collect the body of my brother and me! ”

Tang Ning cried and laughed: "I am just a superintendent, and I am not in charge of the army, if you tell me this, I can't help it." ”

Wang Zhi held Tang Ning's hand tightly and didn't let go, this guy has lost weight twice in five days, he said with tears in his eyes: "I don't care, Brother Tang, if you don't help me, I won't be able to go to Lianzhou."

Tell me that your master is too, why is it so accurate to pick people......"

The two of them were talking when they heard a chaotic sound outside. Glancing at each other, both of them were shocked in their hearts, could it be that they had met bandits so soon? Isn't Wang Zhi about to die?

When I went out, I didn't see it at all. Most of the soldiers were holding bowls, drinking porridge while watching the excitement, it turned out that when a thousand people from Hangzhou came here to meet, they saw that the people in Runzhou were eating, and they were also clamoring to eat.

"A bunch of rice buckets!" Suddenly, I heard a loud voice shouting: "I only ate when I came out, and now I want to eat again?" I want to ask you bastards, where did you just eat?

Don't you have a stomach full of shit?

It's all for Lao Tzu to rest! Something that is not enough to achieve and more to lose! One by one, if you dare to make trouble, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”
