Chapter 33 Expedition
(PS: Let’s do two more updates today. The second update will be at night. New books for newbies. Please support me enthusiastically.)
The troublesome procedures and long preparation time of the ancient army's expedition will definitely make any impatient person collapse. Tao Ying is such an impatient person. Tao Ying has always trained the Junzi Army as a 24-hour rapid response emergency army.
What was required was quickness and promptness. He ordered the army to set off immediately. He had already tempered his temper a lot, and now he had to make long and tedious preparations for an army destined to be delayed. Tao Ying felt really uneasy.
Stop being angry.
Fortunately, Deputy Director Tao had also developed a skill in adjusting his personality in the officialdom. When he could not resist the good intentions of Tao Qian, Cao Bao and others, Tao Ying had no choice but to keep calm and patiently accompany Zhang Lie to prepare for the expedition, while forcing himself to study.
From this complex and cumbersome expedition procedure, we should take the essence and discard the dross, and prepare in advance for commanding more armies in the future - after all, Tao Ying could not only command a mere 800 cavalry forever.
It was good to be forced to delay. At least during this period, Mi Zhen secretly came to Tao Mansion and met Tao Ying again in the back garden of Tao Mansion. The purpose was naturally to inquire about Tao Ying's expedition.
She personally asked Tao Ying to verify the truth of the rumors. When she learned that the rumors were true, Mi Zhen's pretty face suddenly turned pale. She couldn't help but take the initiative to hold Tao Ying's claws and said nervously: "Master, you only have three thousand
If we don’t have enough troops to attack Guangling County, which has 20,000 enemies, with such a huge disparity in strength, is it too risky?”
"It's a bit risky, but it's worth it." Of course, Tao Ying would not let go of this opportunity to please the beauty. While gently stroking Mi Zhen's smooth little hands, he said more gently: "Because I don't have such a little merit, I won't
To change my image of a nerd in the minds of the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, how can I marry you? How can I be worthy of my beautiful Zhen'er?"
"Young Master——!" Mi Zhen's tender face turned red all of a sudden. She lowered her head and said with a feverish expression on her face: "Sir, why are you here again? Why do you always say these things every time I'm alone with you...
These words? Master, you are a nerd, but I think you are simply glib!"
"Conscience of heaven and earth, am I so glib?" Tao Ying cried out that he was wronged, stretched out his hand to lift Mi Zhen's pointed chin, stared into Mi Zhen's beautiful eyes and said affectionately: "What I said is all true, I don't want me to let you down."
After my daughter-in-law passed away, she was ridiculed by people all over the world, saying that a flower was stuck in cow dung. So I have to work hard, I have to work hard, and I want the world to envy my daughter-in-law. I want to envy my daughter-in-law for marrying a
An indomitable hero, a good man who treats her wholeheartedly and loves her."
Mi Zhen was so ashamed that she was almost ashamed, but her heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and her soft and delicate body was like cooked noodles. She slowly snuggled into Tao Ying's arms, while Deputy Director Tao took the opportunity to use the Fengyue Field practice.
While talking to Mi Zhen's ear some stomach-churning affectionate words, he was touching and licking Mi Zhen's body, and he was thinking about whether he should get on the boat first and then buy the ticket, and put the student first.
Let’s wait until the rice is cooked?
Deputy Director Tao's evil attempt failed. When Deputy Director Tao's claws got into Mi Zhen's underwear with great skill, little sister Mi Zhen immediately struggled to break away from Deputy Director Tao's arms as if she had been bitten by a snake.
He firmly grabbed Deputy Director Tao's clutches and said with a blushing face: "Sir, please respect yourself. We haven't even reached the stage of hiring a mediator now. Please be careful, sir."
"What are you afraid of?" Deputy Director Tao said with a smile: "Zhen'er, what age are we in now? Are you too pedantic if you still hold on to those old ideas?"
With a lewd smile, Tao Ying went to do something again, but this time Mi Zhen refused to give Tao Ying another chance. She pushed Tao Ying away and stood up. She said with a blushing face: "Master, since my brother has already told me
When your father mentions the marriage, the little girl will be yours sooner or later, but not now. I don’t want you to look down on me, and I don’t want him to think that I am a casual woman.”
"But I'm the kind of casual man." Tao Ying muttered in his heart, with a simple and honest smile on his face.
"Sir, there is one more thing." Realizing that Tao Ying's smile seemed to be malicious, Mi Zhen, who was not too stupid, quickly changed the subject and asked Tao Ying: "Sir, there is one thing that is very strange to me. Why are the two faces of my little girl so cute?"
When the two elder brothers mentioned the young master’s southern expedition, they all sneered on their faces, and brother Fang kept laughing at the young master for overestimating his own abilities and seeking his own death? My two elder brothers, why do you have such an attitude towards the young master?”
"Of course they wish I was dead." Tao Ying sneered in his heart, but with a relaxed smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Sister Zhen'er, this is normal. That brother doesn't want his sister to marry into a good family and be depended on for life?
Your two brothers are encouraging me to work hard and let their little sister marry a good family."
"Really? Why don't I feel the same?" Mi Zhen was doubtful.
"Don't worry, sister Zhen'er, how could I lie to you?" Tao Ying waved his hands and boasted, then approached him with a playful smile, and opened his arms to pull Mi Zhen into his arms, "Zhen'er, I'm going to do it in a day or two.
We are marching south, and it will be a long time before we meet again. Before we say goodbye, Zhen'er, don't you want to give me a souvenir?"
With a lewd smile, Tao Ying went to kiss Mi Zhen again, but Mi Zhen, who had suffered a loss once, was not fooled this time. She deftly avoided Tao Ying's embrace, ducked aside with a coquettish smile, and then quickly stuffed an object into her mouth.
Tao Ying held it in his hand and said shyly: "I knew you wouldn't let me go, so I had already prepared it. Take it, I gave away three thousand dollars in exchange for the peace charm in the Taoist temple."
Tao Ying looked down and found that what Mi Zhen had stuffed into him was a red sachet. The bulging fragrance was fragrant. He thought it contained the peace charm Mi Zhen had asked for for himself and various precious spices. Tao Ying was about to
After a few words of teasing, Mi Zhen took the initiative to come over and kissed Tao Ying gently on the cheek, then ran away quickly and went straight to the courtyard gate, leaving behind a string of shy sounds like silver bells, "Master, Mi Zhen, wait.
You return in triumph."
"Done! I'll push him down and go to bed next time I get the chance!" Deputy Director Tao quietly snapped his fingers proudly, and then suddenly remembered another equally charming shadow, thinking in his heart: "That little girl should also come to me.
Are you ready to say goodbye? It seems that I will be walking around the streets more in the past few days. This little girl is too shy to take the initiative to visit me. I am a kind and kind gentleman. I want to take the initiative to give this little girl a chance to confess my love. I cannot let down her sincerity.
.”
……………………
Deputy Director Tao's wishful thinking was miscalculated. It took several days to prepare for the dispatch of troops. The little girl Lin Qing did not appear in front of Tao Ying once, but Mi Zhen quietly visited Tao Ying again - to Tao Ying.
She sent a pair of cloth shoes and two pairs of insoles made by herself, which made Tao Ying feel moved and regretful at the same time, "Oh no, the joke is too big. That little girl named Lin Qing must think that I really have sex with Mi Zhen."
We were engaged, so I quit on my own initiative."
After all, this era was the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms. Although the Xuzhou army, surrounded by enemies on all sides, could not respond as quickly as Tao Ying expected, it was basically ready for war at any time. So after six days, the Xuzhou army went south.
All preparations for the expedition were completed. On the tenth day of August, Tao Ying and Zhang Jie held an oath-taking ceremony at the south gate of Xuzhou, swearing to go south to defeat Xuzhou's number one traitor Zuo Rong. The eight hundred gentlemen troops stationed in Wuxian County also
Under the leadership of Tao Ji, he returned to Xuzhou from Wu County to attend the swearing-in meeting. By the way, he joined forces with the Xuzhou regular army led by Zhang Jie, and marched south to Guangling via Xiapi County, where grain and grass were convenient for supply.
After a few months, the Junzi Army, which had fewer than 830 people left, appeared in public for the first time in front of Xuzhou soldiers and civilians. What impressed Xuzhou soldiers and civilians deeply was the three almost funny military flags of the Junzi Army.
In addition, there is the even more funny slogan of the Gentleman Army - Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the River Continent, a graceful lady, a gentleman is so good! More than 800 officers and soldiers of the Gentleman Army uniformly shouted the first line of the opening chapter of "The Book of Songs"
The poems were lined up in a solemn swearing-in ceremony and inspected by Tao Qian and Xuzhou civil and military officials.
"Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman loves to fight. The water plants are mixed, and they flow left and right. The fair lady, I have been longing for it. I can't get it, and I am thinking about it. I am leisurely, tossing and turning. The water plants are scattered,
Pick them from the left and right. Fair ladies, play the harp and harp. Pick them from the left and right. Use the water plants from the left and right. Play the fair ladies with the music of bells and drums..."
Hearing the neat and loud slogans of the Gentleman Army, most of the officials and people in Xuzhou couldn't help laughing. Countless people laughed. Brothers Mi Zhu gritted their teeth for fear that they would laugh wildly in front of Tao Qian. Chen Gui and Chen Deng
The father and son looked at each other, while Cao Bao, Lu You and other loyal Tao officials were dumbfounded. Tao Qian and Zhang Jie, who was preparing to accompany Junzi's army on the southern expedition, both turned pale and ashamed. Only Tao Ying's eldest brother, Tao Shang, nodded repeatedly and was full of praise.
He believed that his brother was indeed a gentleman, and in a total of five months, he trained more than 800 illiterate officers of the Junzi Army into refined men, which greatly improved his Tao family's style.
It seemed that God could no longer stand the clown show of the Gentleman Army. The sky that had been clear for a long time was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Amidst lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down, drenching all the officials and people of Xuzhou who participated in the swearing-in ceremony. It was also time.
At this time, some knowledgeable people who had been laughing before suddenly discovered that in the pouring rain, including the ace Danyang soldiers of the Xuzhou army, they were all in disarray and the team was in a mess, but the eight hundred officers and soldiers of the Gentleman Army looked like they were made of cast iron.
, standing motionless in the wind and rain, neat and loud, the voice of the gentle lady and the gentleman's good temper is always heard.
Seeing such a scene, Tao Qian, who had followed the famous Eastern Han Dynasty general Huangfu Song to conquer the east and west, was not only no longer pale, but also deeply shocked, because Tao Qian could see at a glance that his son had personally trained this army of gentlemen, and its combat effectiveness was extremely high.
It may not be possible to estimate the level, but in terms of organizational discipline alone, it has definitely surpassed any army today, and is directly chasing the legendary army of the Six Kingdoms that destroyed Qin!
Also shocked were a group of Xuzhou veterans such as Cao Bao, Zhang Jie and Lu You, because although the Danyang soldiers in their hands had strong individual combat capabilities, their organizational discipline was extremely bad. Almost every month in the military camp,
The occurrence of a major or minor civil strife has always given veteran generals such as Cao Bao and Zhang Lie a headache. Now comparing Tao Ying's Junzi Army, Cao Bao, Zhang Lie, Lu You and other Xuzhou veteran generals will inevitably suddenly find that the armies under their command
In terms of organizational discipline, they are simply a bunch of rabble!
"What's the big deal about trying to impress people? As long as my slaves train for a few days, they can be better kept than them." Mi Fang secretly curled her lips, then quietly poked Mi Zhu next to her, and pointed towards the five huge wooden carts behind the Junzi Army.
He pursed his lips to signal Mi Zhu to pay attention.
"I've seen it a long time ago, Thunderbolt Car." Mi Zhu replied in a low voice, and then said in a low voice with a cold snort: "The dimensional sketch has been sent to Mr. Xuande a long time ago. If it is really useful, Mr. Xuande can copy it at any time. Just be afraid.
, these thunderbolt cars didn't even have a chance to see the Guangling city wall!" Mi Fang smiled evilly, deeply believing what her brother said.
At three quarters of the hour, after listening to Tao Qian's lecture in the wind and rain, amidst the sound of the trumpet, the 800 Gentleman Army and 2,000 Xuzhou infantry marched against the violent wind and rain with flags spread, and headed south along the straight and flat official road, rushing to the first
They supply food and grass to Pi City. In the distance, deep in the crowd, Mi Zhen, who was hiding in the carriage, also clasped her hands together, closed her beautiful eyes and prayed silently: "Gods and Buddhas in the sky, gods passing by, please bless...
, bless my Tao Lang for his safe return."
Mi Zhen silently prayed for her sweetheart in the carriage, but if sister Mi Zhen knew what our Deputy Director Tao was doing and thinking now, I'm afraid she would definitely withdraw all her prayers, and then pray to the evil spirits from all over the country and the bull-headed horse-faced people to bring justice.
The deputy director Tao was locked up in the underworld and sent to the eighteenth level of hell! Because our deputy director Tao was looking around on a horse not much bigger than a donkey, constantly looking for that familiar pretty face in the crowd, and he felt sad in his heart.
I kept thinking, "Little girl, you really did a great job. You didn't even come to give me a gift? It really pissed me off. I'll beat you with double the military stick, and I won't leave you the position of mistress!"
Chapter completed!
