Chapter 69: Do You Care About Me?
"Dead old man, what are you doing!"
After Cheng Yang finished speaking, Tang Ning couldn't ask others if he wanted to. I thought this old man was a rigorous guy, but I didn't expect it to be so unreliable at a critical moment.
Pei Xiantong was as proud as a hen that had just laid eggs, and walked out with his head held high. As soon as Cheng Yang opened her mouth and recognized the legitimacy of her existence in the army, Pei Xiantong did not have to wear this armor that was a little bulky to her.
So Pei Xiantong left, and Tang Ning asked Cheng Yang angrily.
"Don't get so excited." Cheng Yang looked very calm, smiled, and said slowly: "Let this little Taoist stay in the army, for us, there is no harm in it."
Will she stop us from marching? No. Will she betray our intelligence? Nor will it.
Since she can't do either of these things, and she's very good at it, why don't you let her be by your side to protect you?
In this way, won't Xiao Qi and Xiao Yang be able to do their own things? People have followed you all the way, and the time is not short, so it's time to put it down and practice. ”
"Why didn't she stop us from marching? Do you know how speechless I am when she says childish things in my ear every day? I ......"
"Anyway, she didn't tell me, you can clean her up by yourself when the time comes. For the sake of the overall situation, you should sacrifice yourself. Cheng Yang's smile was in stark contrast to Tang Ning's angry face.
Zha Jie looked at Tang Ning and then at Cheng Yang, and couldn't understand what the two were saying, so he whispered to the Qiang man to translate for him.
Tang Ning was worried that he didn't have a punching bag, and he heard it before he spoke. went up and gave another beating to Zha Jie, anyway, it's not his own person, and a hard beating won't produce any psychological burden.
Sometimes plans can't keep up with changes, and Downing was originally going to drag this army of Zha Jie here. Unexpectedly, his subordinates cared so much about his life.
After Zha Jie was captured, none of the Qingtang soldiers chose to resist, and they were all honestly tied by the Song army.
While this is the best outcome, new problems arise.
Eight thousand Qingtang soldiers, plus four thousand Zhenjiang troops, where can they find so much food and feed so many mouths?
When he came from the northern front, Tang Ning only brought enough rations for the whole army for two weeks. After capturing Wabui Village, another part was gained. But these can't bear the food and horses chewing, and can only support these 11,000 people to eat for less than a week.
Bringing these people to the city is naturally an option, but it requires enough manpower.
It is impossible to give up Wachui Village as a transportation artery, so Tang Ning must divide a part of his troops to stay in Wachui Village.
Counting those who were injured and could not continue with the army, Tang Ning had to send another six hundred people to stay in Wachui Village.
In this way, the Song army that was able to go to the city of Zhidang was only 22,300 people. With these two thousand
People came to escort 8,000 Qingtang soldiers, and if something happened, it would be difficult to run.
All kinds of possibilities kept flashing through Tang Ning's mind over and over again, and in the end, Tang Ning didn't think of a feasible way.
After Pei Xiantong came to act as Tang Ning's guard, there were a lot fewer people around Tang Ning all of a sudden.
Qi Fu and Yang Yingzheng all joined the Wujin battalion, because the number has decreased, so now the ninth battalion of the Zhenjiang Army has been reduced to three battalions.
Shenqian's Wujin Battalion and Fang Yong's Wuwei Battalion each maintained a scale of 1,000 people.
Although Gao Shu's Pingxia camp also suffered casualties, it still maintained an establishment of 500 people. This is a special force force that can change the course of the war, and Tang Ning would rather treat himself than them.
Therefore, Shen Qian and Fang Yong are now the battalion commanders of the Wujin Battalion and the Wuwei Battalion respectively, and Qi Fu and Yang Yingzheng are the chief and deputy Duyu Marquis of the Wujin Battalion respectively.
Except for Xiao Shi and Fang La, the two young men standing guard by Tang Ning's side, only Lin Wei and Pei Xiantong were left to guard.
Lin Wei wouldn't suddenly say a word according to the old appearance, and when Pei Xiantong saw Tang Ning's sad face, he walked over and pushed Tang Ning with a big grin and asked, "Dog officer, what are you thinking?" ”
"Since you want to follow me and use your own eyes to tell whether what I say is right or wrong, then the two of us will have to make three chapters of the law first." Tang Ning turned his head to look at Pei Xiantong and said.
Pei Xiantong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, you can say it." ”
"First, when I think about things, if there is no life-threatening matter, don't bother me." Tang Ning raised a finger: "Second, show a little respect to me, don't always bark at a dog."
I am the Zhenjiang Army Soldier and Horse Commander, whether you want to be called Commander, or adults don't care, just don't call Dog Officer, are you shouting very cool? ”
Pei Xiantong grinned and said, "It feels pretty good......
"That's the third point, there is no individual identity in the military, we are one. Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and the words of your superiors are the laws you need to follow, so don't be hippie with me.
You can listen to what I say, even if you are unhappy, you have to endure it for me.
I'm done, do you understand? ”
Tang Ning looked very serious when he spoke, so after Pei Xiantong heard it, he lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "What is fierce......
"What did you say?"
"Okay, I got it." Pei Xiantong snorted, then retreated to the position he had just placed and sat down, looking at his fingernails boredly.
Tang Ning sighed, and was about to continue to overcome the problem in front of him, when he suddenly remembered that the so-called authorities were confused, and bystanders were clear. If you are now in the authorities, it may not be so easy to think of a solution.
And Pei Xiantong is an idiot who doesn't know anything about this aspect of things, and secondly, she is also a bystander now.
It's better to let her talk about it, maybe we can really solve this problem.
So Tang Ning cleared his throat and said, "That, Xiao Pei, ......"
"Are you calling me?" Pei Xiantong pointed to his nose: "I'm older than you, why do you call me Xiao Pei?" ”
"Okay, good, Pei Daochang, ......"
"Here, what's the matter, tell me."
"Well, let me ask you a question. It is said that once upon a time, there was a man who only brought enough food for his family to eat for two weeks, and met a group of villains in the wilderness on the way.
This guy made a lot of effort to get the bad guy to submit, and then he encountered a new problem. It's a place where birds don't poop, and it's a long way to get to the nearest place.
This person is afraid that there will be not enough food to eat, and he is afraid that there will be problems on the way, so may I ask, what should this person do now? ”
After Tang Ning finished speaking, he looked at Pei Xiantong with some expectation.
"That's not easy, just kill all the bad guys." Pei Xiantong didn't hesitate at all, looked at Tang Ning and said as a matter of course: "There is no need for the villains to continue to let them live, right?" ”
"Uh...... This ......" Tang Ning replied after a while: "I'm afraid this will not work, because these villains are not simply bad, but relatively speaking.
Maybe that person is the bad guy for the person they are protecting?
So if you can't kill it, is there any other way? ”
"If it's not bad, why call it a bad guy?" Pei Xiantong asked blankly.
"......" Tang Ning sighed and said, "Forget it, you continue to look at your nails." It's a vain question to ask, I should have thought of it a long time ago......"
"No, I suddenly remembered, since it's a wilderness, why did the person you said at the beginning take the whole family to the wilderness?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that......"
"Then we can see that this man's motives are not pure, maybe he is going for those so-called bad guys?"
"Can you ......?"
"Wow, when you think about it, that person is a complete villain, he should be killed!"
Tang Ning closed his mouth and stopped talking, hoping that Pei Xiantong would not associate himself with himself from this example.
"Dog officer, who is that person?"
Tang Ningqiang smiled: "I don't know, I'll say it casually." ”
"Oh." Pei Xiantong nodded: "That's the best, if there is such a person, it's best for him not to be touched by me." Otherwise, I'll have to cut off his head, and the thing I hate most in my life is the heinous villain. ”
“…… Don't you hate to lie to you the most? ”
"What am I willing to hate for my freedom, you care about me?"
“……”
