Chen Shou looked at the Xiliang soldiers and horses in amazement, they were under the banner of the General's Mansion, the soldiers were strong and strong, and there were many people, stretching for several kilometers.

"It came so fast!"

The veteran led by the veteran rode over, and Li Lingyue saw it from a distance, so he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Uncle Xiao! ”

"Second Miss, hehe, Xiao Shinan, the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie under the command of General Zhengxi's Mansion, has seen Marquis Zhongyong."

Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "The old general doesn't have to be polite, I didn't expect you to come so quickly." ”

Li Lingyue said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao is the old man of our General's Mansion, and he has watched a few of us grow up since childhood. ”

It turned out to be a general in the General's Mansion, no wonder Li Wei would let him come, Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie was actually an idle position, and it was impossible to command so many soldiers and horses.

Xiao Shinan twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The old man received the letter from the Marquis of Zhongyong, and immediately asked me to wait for the preparation of the army. If this is a war, the last general will probably be punished, haha. ”

Chen Shou sighed silently in his heart, his soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the march to reach this speed.

When the two armies are fighting, the speed of the march determines many things, whether it is surrounded or counter-encircled, whether it can chase the defeated army if it wins, and whether it can retreat and stop the loss if it loses, all depend on the speed of the march.

The two soldiers and horses that I have seen that can fight, one is the Liaodong soldier and the other is the Xiliang soldier, all of them come and go like the wind, galloping vertically and horizontally.

On the other hand, their forbidden army is much worse, from Bianliang to Shandong, it takes seven or eight days, the lack of horses is one thing, and the lack of actual combat is also a reason.

Liaodong and Xiliang are constantly at war with foreign races, and all of them have overwhelmed the local foreign races.

The Dangxiang and Uighurs had become the source of conscription for the general's mansion in the west, and the alien races north of Liaodong were pressed and beaten by the Liaodong army every day.

The soldiers and horses of the Daimyo's Mansion are relatively modest, neither strong nor weak, they are ordinary soldiers, and they still have a lot of room for improvement.

Especially when Li Lingyue got married? Brought a lot of veterans? Flooded the barracks, to a large extent? made Chen Shou's soldiers and horses a lot stronger.

Xiao Shinan looked at Li Lingyue? Do you know that their husband and wife are deeply in love and harmonious? The people of Xiliang are haunted by what happened to the eldest lady.

It was Li Xin who made the decision in Liangzhou at the beginning, so many people Li Xin was very dissatisfied? He actually bowed his head to the court at that time? Sending the eldest lady away, the scene of Xiliang soldiers unwilling to shout at the head of the city is unforgettable.

Feeling uneasy, angry? There will be repercussions over time.

Fortunately, the second lady didn't have this experience? Xiao Shinan, as an elder who watched the four of their brothers and sisters grow up, the other three made him more or less sad, only the second lady, although she had the most outrageous temperament, had the best home.

"Marquis Zhongyong, let's go now? After three days, you can go to Liangzhou. Rest assured that no one can touch Xiliang's son-in-law along the way. ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "I have to work for everyone." ”

---

This road is not as fast as Xiao Shinan imagined? Because Chen Shou still has some retinue with him after all, and he has 20,000 of his own men.

After five days? The group returned to Liangzhou, and there was no high-pitched color shed outside the city? And there are no 10,000 people to greet you? Is the gate open? A few familiar figures, waiting on the outskirts of the city.

Seeing the banner waving from afar, a man on the outskirts of the city who looked outstanding but looked honest and simple rubbed his hands excitedly.

"The second brother is finally back." Chen Geng said silently in his heart.

At this time, the Han people like to call their relatives brother, not the word that specifically calls the elder brother... Therefore, Chen Shou's own brother calls him second brother, his godfather calls him Shou Ge'er, and even his son can call him second brother.

Brother was originally the original word for "song" in Chinese, and "brother" was a very widely used title in ancient times, which can be called father, brother, brother, and man. The word "brother" is not a "song" from the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji once called his father the fourth brother... ("Old Tang Book: The Biography of Wang Ju" "Xuanzong cried and said: 'Fourth Brother is benevolent and filial'", the fourth brother refers to Ruizong, the father of Xuanzong.) ）

When Xuanzong has a son, he is often called the third brother of Xuanzong... Xuanzong called Li Xian (Ruizong's eldest son) the eldest brother, and called him "brother". From the late Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, brothers were called "brother", and the title "brother" was not used at all. Therefore, between brothers in the Song Dynasty, the eldest brother would call the younger brother "second brother" instead of "second brother".

In front of him, standing was Jiang Xiangyu from Liangzhou, who said to him with a smile: "I will see the old man in a while, so that your brothers can reunite, I think Brother Chen might as well go back and prepare, Chen Shou will probably go to you tonight." ”

Chen Geng has no opinions, Jiang Xiangyu is a heavenly figure in his eyes, and he quickly nodded and said, "I know." ”

He glanced at the distance, and returned to Su Mansion with nostalgia, now they and their husbands and wives live in Su Qiongzhi Mansion, and when they heard that their son was fine, the couple cried with joy, hugged each other and cried for a long time. Now that the second brother is back, the family is expected to be reunited, which is the most important thing.

After Chen Geng left, only Jiang Xiangyu and a few civilian and military generals from Liangzhou were left waiting.

By the time the men and horses arrived, the Xiliang soldiers had already returned to the camp, leaving only Chen Shou's more than 1,000 personal guards, escorting the carriage of their husband and wife to the city gate.

"Mr. Jiang." Chen Shou was not in the carriage, riding a black steed, smiling and hugging his fists.

Jiang Xiangyu said with a smile: "Brother Shou, I can be regarded as looking forward to you." ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "How dare you bother Mr. Jiang to greet me personally, take me to meet my father-in-law." ”

Inside the carriage, Li Lingyue also opened the curtain and came out, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, is my father okay?" ”

"It's very strong, and I took a concubine a few days ago."

Li Lingyue was originally happy, but his face suddenly changed, and he glanced at him angrily.

The group slowly entered the city, and a few Xiliang soldiers opened the way and rushed to the general's mansion.

In the General's Mansion, everyone knew that the second lady was returning to Ning, and she began to prepare for sprinkling and sweeping a few days in advance.

Not only was the door clean, but the courtyard was also lit up, and several nephews and nieces who had not left the pavilion were standing at the gate of the outer courtyard, waiting for the little aunt to come back.

After the little aunt left, the general's mansion was really deserted, the four little nephews were all born by Li Jin, although Li Jin was polite and humble as jade, but his four sons, all of them looked very strong, and they looked like the children of the generals.

After the people came in, the guards stayed outside, and only Zhang and Li Sanniu and others followed Chen Shou into the mansion.

Li Lingyue greeted the people along the way with a smile, and they were very cordial, and when they arrived at the door, several people said in unison: "Auntie." ”

Li Lingyue touched the head of a nephew and asked, "Li Yuan, how is it, let my aunt see if you have made any progress in your martial arts." ”

Li Yuan's face was bitter, and he said stubbornly: "It's better next time, don't let your grandfather wait for a long time." ”
