Chapter 116: Emergency Military Intelligence
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival, my marriage with Tan Qinrou was also put on the agenda, and the Tan family wanted to do it in a big way, but I think that now at this point in time, as an officer with troops, if I am too public, it is inevitable that I will not give people a handle.
Tan Zhenshan is a far-sighted person, and after comprehensive consideration, he agrees with my opinion. After all, at the moment when the war is raging, such extravagance is indeed not appropriate, and it is very likely to affect the confidence of the common people in our army.
Although Tan Qinrou was reluctant, she didn't care too much about the size of the wedding scene, and she didn't have any idea how luxurious and sensational the wedding should be.
Even though the wedding has been carried out in a low-key manner, with Tan Zhenshan's prestige, he has been operating in western Yunnan for many years and has a wide range of contacts. The Tan family married their daughter, naturally it was impossible to be silent, and from the day before the wedding, guests from all walks of life came to congratulate them in an endless stream.
The business celebrities, military and political dignitaries in western Yunnan came one after another, and the Tan family's mansion was almost filled with a wave of guests, and there were well-dressed guests everywhere.
Witnessing the scenery of the Tan family, my father said with emotion: "If this is in Beiping, our family will be full of guests, and it will not be much worse than the pomp and circumstance of the Tan family." ”
I comforted him and said, "You don't have to feel lost, you are now living here, and this aspect is naturally dominated by the Tan family, after all, people are the masters of this place." ”
My father was told that he was breaking his heart, and he still refused to admit it, and defended: "I settled down and married, what do I have to lose!" I just thought to myself, it's a pity that our family and friends can't attend your wedding. ”
While our father and son were talking, the adjutant Hou Yong and the herald hurriedly walked in, looking for me everywhere.
I beckoned: "Adjutant Hou, I'm here." ”
Hou Yong and the herald hurriedly ran over, and Hou Yong said: "Battalion commander, urgent military situation, you have to rush back to the barracks immediately!" ”
My father looked at the guests around him and said in surprise: "This is going to be married tomorrow, what is the military situation, why should I wait until the marriage is completed." ”
I was also puzzled and asked, "What's so urgent?" Is there an unusual movement of the Japanese army on the west bank? ”
Hou Yong approached me and whispered, "Battalion commander, Division Commander Geng Huaiqi on the West Bank has just sent a telegram asking for help. The pre-17th Division fell into the trap of the Japanese army and is now trapped in Baijiazhai, and the military headquarters ordered our regiment to immediately cross the river to reinforce and relieve the siege! ”
At first, I thought that Wang Tingyue was starting to make waves again, stirring up and stirring me on my big day, but I didn't expect this to be the case, this is indeed a hundred thousand urgent military situation, and it can't be delayed for a moment.
I pondered for a moment and said to them, "I give you the order to go back, and the whole battalion will be ready to go at once!" I'll be there! ”
"Yes! Battalion commander, I left you a horse at the door, and Xiao Tao was watching. ”
"I know, you guys go back quickly, let them prepare early!"
My father hurriedly pulled me and said, "Sihu, you, how is this good!" On the wedding day of tomorrow, you are the groom's official, and you are suddenly gone, what is going on! How can I explain to the Tan family! ”
I was also anxious, separated the crowd, and went into the inner house to find Tan Qinrou and explain this sudden incident to her.
There were two servant women standing at the door of the inner house, and when they saw me coming, they hurriedly stopped me and said, "Uncle, where are you going?" ”
Me: "I'm going to talk to Qin Rou for a few words." ”
The servant woman smiled and said, "That's not good, according to our rules, on the first day of the wedding, you can't meet our young lady, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
I also know that men and women are not allowed to see each other on the first day of their wedding, and it is usually the bride who stays at home with her family and waits for the next day's wedding.
I had to turn around and go back to the front house, thinking that I couldn't just leave, I saw Tan Zhenshan was accompanying a few guests from Kunming to say this, so I walked over, first arched his hand to a few guests, and then said to Tan Zhenshan: "Uncle Tan, please take a step to speak." ”
I told Tan Zhenshan about the matter in a secluded place, and then said, "Uncle Tan, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, I must rush back immediately!" A day late can make a big mistake, it is the lives of thousands of people, and it is also the foundation of our army on the West Bank! ”
Tan Zhenshan frowned, sighed and said, "Sihu, how can I not understand this truth, it's just that this guest has already been informed...... The main thing is that Qinrou is there......"
I couldn't either, so I had to be cheeky and said, "The guests have to bother Uncle Tan to explain more." As for Qin Rou...... I'm ashamed of her! ”
Tan Zhenshan was also helpless, this sudden situation was beyond the reach of manpower, so he had to watch me turn around and go out and get on the horse.
I rode a horse, Xiao Tao followed on the ground, my riding skills are not very proficient, I dare not let the horses run away, Xiao Tao can basically keep up with my horse when he cans on the ground.
Before we had walked half a mile, we heard the sound of horses' hooves behind us, and a voice shouted: "An Sihu, you wait!" ”
I grabbed the reins of the horse and looked back, but it turned out that it was Tan Qinrou who whipped up the horse and chased after him like a gust of wind.
"Phew!"
Tan Qinrou was wearing a bright red dress and red shoes, and her whole body was full of festivity, looking like a bride.
She carried the horse around me twice, and suddenly raised the whip and whipped it on my back, and I did not dodge, but took her whip hard, and the whip was whipped on my body, and I immediately felt a hot pain.
Xiao Tao reached out and took off the rifle from his shoulder, exclaiming, "What are you doing!" ”
I shouted, "Put the gun down!" ”
I was whipped by Tan Qinrou because I felt very sorry for her. There are a few brides in this world who are about to get married, and the groom says goodbye, and I really feel guilty.
Me: "Qinrou, listen to my explanation......"
Tan Qinrou whipped me, tears fell, and said, "You don't have to explain! My father has already told me very clearly, and I also understand that I will have to bear such a thing if I marry you, don't worry, I have long been mentally prepared! ”
"Then you still ......"
"I'll whip you, I, I feel wronged, I don't beat you, who do you want me to beat? ……”
"Qin Rou, I know I'm ashamed of you, I hope that after I come back, we can get married as soon as possible, and I will definitely be twice as good to you."
Xiao Tao stood under the horse and muttered: "Battalion commander, why did I listen to you, goosebumps stood on my body......"
Tan Qinrou jumped off the horse and motioned for me to dismount too, I was a little anxious, and said: "Qinrou, I can't delay any longer, the military situation is very urgent, I am the battalion commander, and the whole battalion is waiting for my order." You're ......."
Tan Qinrou: "Don't worry, I won't delay you for a few minutes!" ”
Tan Qinrou turned around and looked, two cars in the distance were driving from far and near, a car in front of us parked beside us, my father and Tan Zhenshan got out of the car, and in the back car was actually Tan Qinrou's mother who was supported by the maid and servant.
I was dumbfounded, thinking: What is this for?
