Xia Nan replied, "That's true. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBefore we left, Miss Xie came to me and said that she was going to take a boat to Shandong Province. However, the situation on the shore was unknown, so I did not let her accompany her to Shahe, but stayed on Long Island for the time being. If Master Xie agrees to her coming ashore, I can send someone to fetch her immediately......"

Xie Sanbin snorted: "It's really reckless, Shandong is still in the midst of war, she came rashly as a woman, I have a lot of things to do every day, how to take care of her?" Besides, the army is full of rough men, so how can she be placed? ”

Xia Nan had a headache, she thought that she would just hand over Xie Wenjun to her father, but she didn't expect Xie Sanbin to complain first, it seems that this burden will not be able to get rid of for a while. He thought for a while and suggested: "Long Island is deserted, the sea breeze is cold, and the sailor may be ordered to go out of the island at any time to intercept the enemy army, so it is even more difficult for Miss Xie to stay there, so it is better to take the Shahe River." Although the army is full of rough men, she is always relieved under her nose, and Miss Xie is very good-hearted, knowing that women disguise themselves as men to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to be gossiped about. If Lord Xie is busy with official business, then put it in our army for the time being, how about it? ”

In his opinion, it is impossible for Xie Sanbin to rest assured that a yellow flower girl who has not left the cabinet will be handed over to a martial artist to take care of, and he must be by his side, so it is just polite words to say this, and he is not really willing to take care of Xie Wenjun.

But to his surprise, Xie Sanbin almost didn't hesitate, and responded quickly: "It's okay." Governor Mu admires you very much, saying that you are capable and of good character, and the official believes in his vision, and Wenjun is also relieved that you will take care of the official. ”

Xia Nan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, regretted it, and wanted to slap herself, why did she add this sentence more? Why did you agree to let Xie Wenjun board the ship in the first place? I came to Shandong to do big things, how can I have time to take care of a little girl. Also, this father is really rough, and he is really relieved to hand over his daughter to himself.

In fact, Xie Sanbin is not really indifferent to his daughter's safety, and there is a reason for doing so. As an official who is trying to go further in his career, the army is responsible for raising military rations and counselors military aircraft, which is a great opportunity to earn credit and win promotion capital. You must know that it is taboo to bring your family members to go out with the army, and if you let people participate in a book, all the credit will be in vain. On the other hand, in the Qiongzhou battalion army, there is no eye-catching around him, and it is not too easy for the battalion head of thousands of people to hide people, which is like being alone, and there is no place to hide if you want to hide.

In addition, the careful thinking revealed by her daughter in the letter, coupled with the fact that her uncle Mu Tianyan clearly wanted to match the two, made Xie Sanbin have no vigilance against Xia Nan. Although he is noble and martial in these years, a general does not match the political background of the Xie family, not to mention that Xie Sanbin is expected to impact the official position of the fourth and fifth grades, and he does not have to marry his daughter to the other party, but it is still okay as a candidate worth examining, after all, Xia Nan is still young and has room for improvement.

The private matter is settled, and the rest is all business. Xie Sanbin designated a place for the Qiongzhou battalion to camp, and left in a hurry to allocate grain and grass for the two thousand people.

In the summer, Nan ordered Huang Hansheng and Wei Lianheng to lead the soldiers to camp, and the two thousand soldiers began to get busy.

At this time, Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of the volunteers, walked over with a few subordinates, saw that the Qiongzhou battalion was busy camping, and sneered: "Anyway, I came to mix the military merits, why is the camp so solid?" Just get some tents for a few nights. If there is really a war, I can't count on you southern soldiers. ”

Xia Nan frowned, this Liu Zeqing is as annoying as a fly, but he can't be shot to death. He immediately scolded: "If you don't rely on our southern soldiers, do you rely on your Shandong soldiers?" If you can quell the rebels, where do you need to transfer the Liaodong Guanning Army, we southern soldiers don't have to work an expedition. I don't know if General Liu has fought with the rebels in the past two years, and whether the troops have been disabled? ”

Liu Zeqing was embarrassed, then annoyed and angry, and pointed at Xia Nan: "You ......"

Xia Nan didn't give him a chance to speak, and then said: "Oh, by the way, your position as the chief military officer is still retained, it seems that your subordinates have not been completely wiped out, and the rout can still make up the number of people, when you are fighting, you can't do anything else, and it's still okay to shout and cheer." If my troops go to the battlefield, General Liu remembers to ask his subordinates to cheer me on, and when I return triumphantly, I can divide a few rebel heads to you if I am in a good mood! ”

Liu Zeqing's face was blue and white for a while, his face was very ugly, he stared at Xia Nan deadly, and said word by word: "I am the chief military officer of the imperial court, you are just a small general, it stands to reason that when you see me kneeling and saluting, but you are so arrogant and rude, repeatedly humiliated, do you really think that I have no one in Shandong?" ”

In the summer, Nan scoffed, Lao Tzu does not kneel to the emperor, does not kneel to the eunuchs and governors of the prison army, will kneel to you this waste snack? He said leisurely: "Mr. Liu, the face is earned by yourself, not begged. Don't say that you have been disabled, even if the troops are intact, my subordinates will be able to deal with you, such an incompetent person, do I need to give you face? ”

Liu Zeqing's fingers trembled and pointed at Xia Nan: "What an arrogant and domineering Southern barbarian!" I've made a note of this, and when the time comes, you'll be good-looking. With that, he turned and left.

Xia Nan looked at his back and snorted coldly. He had also seen the strength of the rebels at the beginning, but Er'er, a group of bandits who had no strategic goals, were completely dominated by desire, and could only burn and loot, were beaten all over the ground by such an army, and the weakness of Liu Zeqing's troops could be seen. For such waste, there is no need to be careful to please.

After joining the army, Xia Nan thought that he would wait slowly in the army, but he didn't expect that there would be movement two days later.

Although the rebels retreated to the area of Dengzhou, they were not willing to sit and wait for the death of Dengzhou City, Li Jiucheng was always strong and healthy, and often went out of the city to fight, expanding the scope of activities to the junction of Denglai, and the two sides often carried out large-scale field battles with thousands of horse infantry troops with artillery, and each other won and lost.

This time, it was Li Jiucheng who led 3,000 cavalry, along with 2,000 infantry, to the vicinity of Shahe and waited for an opportunity to fight. In order to seek stability, Zhu Dadian did not send a large army to attack with all his might, but sent the Guanning Army as the main force to fight, and several Shandong generals led their troops to cover the flanks. I was about to send out the order, but suddenly thought of the Qiongzhou battalion in Guangdong, which Mao Sui had recommended a few days ago, and my heart moved, I might as well send this bird soldier to let the rebels test their quality. So with a stroke of the pen, the name of the Qiongzhou battalion was added. The first battle of the Qiongzhou battalion in the inland of the Central Plains came in this way.
