Chapter 40: The Southern Expedition to Guiyang
Early the next morning, in a closed hut in the workshop of the Yanxian Ordnance Division, a sudden scream broke the silence of the early morning and woke up Liu Qi, who was sleeping.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qi rubbed his worried eyes, and hurriedly sat up and asked.
I saw Huang Yueying pointing at Liu Qi and said, "You, you, why did you run to my bed?" You stinky **. ”
Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "It turned out that it was because of this, didn't you want to drink with me last night?" Then you drank a bowl of wine and climbed on the table and fell asleep, and I helped you to the bed, and then I was too tired to go, and then I fell asleep on the bed. ”
Liu Qi paused, and said dissatisfiedly: "Also, you said that I stink, this is too heavy, right?" I'm just sleeping with you, and I don't have any intentions for you, not to mention that you're just a big man, what can I do to you? Do you think Ben will have a habit of breaking sleeves? Ben is a normal man. ”
"You, why don't you want to go back? Have you gone through my consent? I told you last night that I have always slept alone, and I am not used to being around others, so why do you still have to run to my bed? Huang Yueying continued to be unrelenting, shouting at the top of her voice.
"But you didn't say you disagreed!" Liu Qi said with a puzzled face: "I'm really weird, what I did was just a reflection of a boss's favor to his subordinates, many people dream of it, why did it become so fuss when I came to you." If you want me to say, Mr. Huang, you should also change your personality, it's not good to always be like a woman, how should a character like you marry a wife and have children in the future? And how can I make good friends with my colleagues? You should know that to do a good job, sometimes you have to rely not only on yourself, but more often on the cooperation of colleagues. This will be all I say, and I would like to ask Mr. to think twice and take his leave. ”
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he arched his hand, left the small secret room, and then went to the workshop and began to assemble the ladder.
Huang Yueying was stunned, and carefully checked her clothes, and found that she was well dressed, and the other party should not take the opportunity to do anything to herself, and heard that the other party had always thought that she was a man, so she was a little relieved, and simply tidied up her clothes and room, and then walked to the workshop, gently came to Liu Qi's side, and silently assembled the ladder.
After a while, Huang Yueying suddenly said slowly: "I'm sorry, I'm too willful and shouldn't lose my temper with you casually." ”
Liu Qi raised his head, glanced at Huang Yueying deeply, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Huang, in fact, Ben Jiang is not angry with you, but hopes that Mr. can grow up quickly and become a more perfect person, not to be rejected by others because of his willfulness, in fact, not everyone in this world can accommodate a talent like Ben Jiang who is not familiar with the world." ”
Liu Qi's words are obvious, he is warning the other party, you have met me, if you meet other leaders, if you are like this, your head will have been chopped off by others.
How could Huang Yueying not hear the deep meaning of this sentence? Not only did she not feel disgusted, but a trace of warmth and emotion surged in her heart, because she could understand Liu Qi's heartfelt concern for herself, which was not only from a boss's concern for his subordinates, but from the bottom of her heart like a friend and a family member.
So Huang Yueying nodded heavily, and then suddenly asked, "I don't know if what the general said last night counts?" ”
Liu Qi was stunned, and then asked, "What words?" ”
Huang Yueying's face couldn't help but change, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "It's my fellow Huang Yueying's matter, if she is willing to marry you as a concubine, you will definitely agree?" ”
"That's what I said." Liu Qi thought for a while, and then said, "I naturally don't have any problems. It's just that Miss Huang is a talented girl with a very high vision, how can she look down on a gentleman like me? Even if you fall in love with it, how can you endure being a concubine? So, I'm just drinking and losing my words, where is there really such a thing? Although you are her fellow clansman, Mr. Huang, I hope that I will inform her of my crazy words yesterday, so that she will not be even more despised and regarded as a frivolous person. ”
"Hehe, the last general clearly remembers that the general did not drink alcohol at that time, and besides, what you said may not be a light word. A manly man, revealing his true feelings, how can he be regarded as frivolous? ”
Huang Yueying felt that her face was hot, and she stopped talking, and hurriedly ran to the side, and opened a distance from Liu Qi, and then started the process of assembling the ladder again.
Although her heart was pounding like a deer, as soon as she got to work, Huang Yueying immediately entered a state of selflessness, and she had already thrown away the embarrassment and tenderness just now and got busy.
After a while, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others also came in one after another, they didn't even ask, and immediately got busy, because they didn't have many tasks left until today, so they secretly made up their minds without asking, they must assemble all the ladders today, and then wait for the general to issue an order to conquer Guiyang in the south.
It's just that Pang Tong's eyes that occasionally looked at Huang Yueying were full of banter, which made Huang Yueying, who saw this scene, a little ashamed, so she simply pretended not to see it and ignored it.
On this day, everyone didn't even say a word, and they were busy nervously, until the last ladder was finally installed, and they cheered in unison.
"It's finally done."
"Yes, it's finally time to go south."
"Yes, this time we will let Guiyang Zhao Fan see the power of our new cloud ladder."
Looking at the dozens of towering ladders, everyone's hearts were filled with strong confidence, feeling that they had not worked in vain in the past few days, just relying on these ladders was enough to scare Zhao Fan's courage and make him surrender obediently.
"Since then, our army has another weapon to attack the city, which is also of great significance for storming Changsha in the future."
Xu Shu and Pang Tong were also overjoyed, and at the same time admired Liu Qi's genius ideas and Huang Yueying's mechanical technology. secretly thought that these two people were really a natural pair of wonderful people, and Xu Shu even had the idea of persuading Huang Chengyan to agree to marry his daughter to Liu Qi as a concubine.
Liu Qi led Xu Shu and others to quickly return to the camp tent, preparing to buy wine to celebrate, and warmly invited Huang Yueying to participate with her, but Huang Yueying refused the invitation on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Liu Qi only said that the other party was withdrawn, and he didn't force it, comforted and encouraged a few words, and sent additional soldiers to protect the workshop, and then returned to his camp.
After dinner, Huang Yueying returned to her cabin, sighed faintly, and came to the place where Liu Qi slept last night, gently feeling the residual manly breath, and a tender and sweet feeling emerged in her heart.
"Such a man is indeed a rare person, in such an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, he actually knows how to respect women, even if he marries him as a concubine, he is much happier than being the wife of the prime minister." In Huang Yueying's heart, the determination to marry Liu Qi slowly became firm.
And Liu Qi didn't know about this qiē, he has always firmly believed that Huang Shuo is a scholar with a feminine spirit, if it weren't for the fact that he had seen a character like Jia Baoyu in later generations, even if the other party was a talent, I am afraid he would stay away, in fact, even so, he also shuddered that there were women's clothes in the room of the scholar named Huang Shuo, last night it was a surge of alcohol, even if the other party invited him to sleep with him in the future, I am afraid he would not dare to agree.
Early the next morning, Liu Qi summoned the soldiers of the three armies, immediately announced the news of the southern expedition to Guiyang, changed the order of Huo Jun to the county commander of Youxian, led an army of 5,000 to guard Youxian, and personally raised an army of 30,000, taking Wei Yan, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Wang Cang, Jiang Wan and Sima Zhi, who had just been transferred back from Linyuan, to conquer Guiyang in person.
"It's finally this day, I've been waiting impatiently, hehe, General Huang, this time it's a competition, which of the two of us will climb to the top of Guiyang City first?" Wei Yan's face flashed with strong battle intent, he looked at Huang Zhong with a hint of provocation, and said secretly.
How could Huang Zhong not know what Wei Yan's gaze meant? His gaze also met him fearlessly, and said secretly: "Don't think that the old man is cowardly when he is old, the old man will let you see what it means to be old and spicy." I, Huang Zhongding, should be the first to climb the head of Guiyang City.
Liu Qi saw that everyone's morale was high, and the fighting spirit was awe-inspiring, and his heart was also extremely satisfied, and he said loudly: "Soldiers, our army has been on the expedition for nearly half a year, but the Changsha thief Zhang Xian has not been pacified, so that the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou are still under the threat of war, everyone stepped forward bravely, and it was determined that the rebellion could be quelled without much effort and Guiyang was recovered. ”
Everyone was infected by Liu Qi, and their feelings were also high, and they shouted loudly: "I must pacify the rebels and return my peace to Jingzhou." ”
"Okay, now everyone listens to the general's order, pulls out, and sets off for Chenxian."
"No. Forward Left Army, departure. Wei Yan shouted loudly, and the herald beside him immediately waved the banner and ordered the 10,000 troops of the left forward with the cavalry battalion as the core to set off immediately.
"Striker Right Army, go." Huang Zhong also roared at Goldman Sachs, and the heralds around him also raised flags and ordered the 10,000 troops of the right forward with the Tuifeng battalion as the core to set off.
At the same time, Liu Shi also issued an order, ordering the 10,000 Chinese army with the Guards Battalion as the core to set off.
The three armies formed a long snake formation, and marched out of the city, and the front of the troops pointed directly at Chenxian, which was three hundred miles away.
