Chapter 052: Return to Governing Land 3
The distance from Yecheng to Changshan County, measured by the foot strength of ordinary soldiers, can be completed in seven or eight days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, after the beginning of spring, the snow melted and the ground recovered, which undoubtedly affected the speed of the march. But fortunately, the further north, the colder the climate, although it has already opened spring, but the land in the north is still covered with snow, where there is the breath of spring.
Changshan County is located in the north of Jizhou, so the further north you go, the colder it becomes, but everyone sees that they are getting closer and closer to their own capital, and the fire in their hearts is getting stronger and stronger, and they can't see the tired appearance at all.
Changshan County is in front of him, Yuan Lang has been away for more than half a month, and he is finally coming back today.
Yuan Lang had already sent scouts to inform him of his imminent arrival in Changshan County, and if Zhang Ning and Zhang Baiqi had arrived in Changshan County according to the previous plan, they would definitely go out of the city to meet him.
"Huang Shuai, look?"
The guards beside him pointed to the number of horsemen and horses galloping in the snow, and shouted to Yuan Lang excitedly.
The guards were excited not by anything else, but by the banner of their Yellow Turban Army, which was erected among the horses, that is, someone came to greet them, but who it was, because there was still some distance between them, so it was a little unclear.
"Drive! …… Check it out! ”
Yuan Lang rode forward and hurried, galloping about a stone's throw away, and he vaguely saw a heroic female general appear in his sight.
"Ning'er !!"
Yuan Lang shouted excitedly, because the female general was none other than his longing wife, Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning also saw Yuan Lang, and the horse she sat on seemed to understand her master's mind, and galloped towards Yuan Lang with a neigh.
"Husband!!
Zhang Ning couldn't wait to jump off the horse, as soon as she landed, she was hugged into her arms by Yuan Lang, who had already dismounted and was waiting for her, and hugged her tightly.
"Ning'er, you're thin!"
Yuan Lang stroked Zhang Ning's face, which was often seen in dreams, but it was thinner than he imagined.
Zhang Ning burst into tears excitedly, she choked and cried: "Husband, you are finally back, Ning'er, but you want to be bad!" ”
Yuan Lang quipped: "Fool, what are you crying about, isn't this coming back to you, don't you want me to come back, cry and cry when you meet, or I will go back?" ”
Zhang Ning was in a hurry, grabbed Yuan Lang's arm tightly, and shook it vigorously and said: "No, Ning'er doesn't follow, husband, you can't go anymore, Ning'er doesn't want to be separated from you anymore, where your husband goes in the future, Ning'er will go." If you think Ning'er is crying ugly, then Ning'er will laugh, hehe, hehe......"
"Fool!" Yuan Lang gently kissed Zhang Ning's forehead, then looked at the cavalry who followed Zhang Ning, and asked in surprise, "This is all trained by you?" ”
Zhang Ning replied shyly: "How about it, yes, they are all female cavalry selected by Ning'er, and all of them are no worse than you men!" ”
"That's natural, my wife is so powerful, even as a husband, I can't stand it, and you can't train it!"
What Yuan Lang said was a funny thing behind closed doors, which seemed ordinary to outsiders, but Ning Er understood it, she suddenly blushed, and her pink fist gently fell on Yuan Lang's body, and she exclaimed: "Husband, I haven't seen you for so long, why have you become bad, everyone is here, I heard it!" ”
"They dare!" Yuan Lang's eyes swept away, and the entourage who had never come forward to disturb their husband and wife reunion would not know why Yuan Lang came to kill with a look, and they all walked further with interest.
But there are still people who are not interested, and there are two people who come, and the one who came was none other than Huang Long and Bai Bo, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who followed Yuan Lang back to Changshan County, they probably heard that Zhang Ning had arrived, and hurriedly came to meet the former leader.
"Heavenly Maiden!"
"Heavenly Maiden!"
This is the title of Huang Long and Bai Bo for Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning is the only daughter of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, and these old subordinates of the Yellow Turban Army have always respected Zhang Ning so much.
"The two generals have worked hard, please bring their respective soldiers and horses into the city quickly, as for the specific placement, you will find Bai Shuai after entering the city, he has already made a plan!"
Zhang Ning's words were Yuan Lang's military orders, and Huang Long and Bai Bo Shili left and went back to their respective troops.
"Why didn't Bai Shuai come? Also, Ning'er, why are you dressed in military uniform? ”
Yuan Lang had been holding these two questions in his heart, and when he saw that there was an opportunity to ask, he asked Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning sighed and said, "Hey, husband, Ning Er will explain it to you in detail after you enter the city!" ”
Yuan Lang wanted to ask again, but the outside was really not a place to talk, so he had to take the guards and follow Zhang Ning and drive away to Changshan County.
As soon as he entered Changshan County, Yuan Lang felt that something was wrong, in addition to the heavily guarded city tower, there were many more victims in the city, these victims did not have it when they left Changshan, why did they only walk for half a month, and they came so much.
Yuan Lang suppressed his worries, he had better rush to the county guard mansion as soon as possible to settle down, and then take his time to take care of these things after he left.
As soon as he arrived at the county guard's mansion, Yuan Langyi hurriedly came to the conference hall, which is a place where meetings are held every day, so it is only appropriate to listen to Zhang Ning explain to himself the questions he just asked.
"What are you talking about, hundreds of unknown bandits came from the townships and counties outside Changshan County, when did this happen?"
Yuan Lang originally thought that the extra people in the city were disaster victims, but he didn't expect that they were actually people who fled from the townships and counties under his own rule and entered the city.
"These people burn when they see the village, and kill them when they see people, what is the origin, Ning'er asked many people who fled, and they couldn't say clearly! The time of the incident was not long after the husband went to Yecheng, on the first day of Ning'er's arrival in Changshan County, some villagers came to report that their village had been looted by bandits. ”
Zhang Ning said to Yuan Lang in distress.
Yuan Lang was suspicious in his heart, it stands to reason that there will be some petty theft in the area of Changshan County at most, but this is the first time that so many people have burned, killed and looted the surrounding townships and counties.
"Where's Bai Shuai? How did he deal with these contingencies? ”
actually put his wife in danger, if Zhang Bai rode here, Yuan Lang must reprimand him well.
Zhang Ning replied: "At that time, Bai Shuai had not yet arrived in the county seat, he only arrived the next day, and then Bai Shuai was responsible for chasing down those bandits, and Ning Er stayed in the city to help receive the people who had taken refuge in the city from the township and county, and he was busy until today!" ”
After listening to Zhang Ning's words, Yuan Lang had no prejudice against Zhang Baiqi, but he hadn't seen Zhang Baiqi's figure at this time, so it seemed that he still had to send someone to call him, so as to ask him specifically about his opinion on this matter.
Before the people here were sent away, they heard someone outside the conference hall preaching: "Bai Shuai has arrived, and the two generals Huang Long and Bai Bo have arrived!" ”
Yuan Lang asked the soldiers who were about to summon Zhang Baiqi to retreat, and then got up to greet Zhang Baiqi and the others.
"Huang Shuai!"
Soon, Zhang Baiqi arrived at the conference hall, he was still so humble and low-key, with an elegant style, which instantly made Yuan Lang's heart feel a lot more steady.
Yuan Lang's steadfastness is that there are too few Confucian generals in the Yellow Turban Army, and it is rare to have a reputation like Zhang Baiqi. And he and Zhang Baiqi had a little unpleasant thing between their daughter Zhang Ruyan before, and now looking at Zhang Baiqi's attitude towards him, it seems that this matter has been gradually forgotten over time.
"Bai Shuai, two generals, please sit down and talk!"
Zhang Ning invited Zhang Baiqi, Huang Long, and Bai Bo to sit down, and then repeated what she had just said to Yuan Lang, because although Zhang Baiqi knew about the sudden bandits in Changshan County, the two generals Huang and Bai didn't know yet. (To be continued.) )
