Chapter 61: Ling's Family
After settling down with Tailiang and the others, Jiangnan Ling pressed the three of them and went to the tribe of the Diqiang tribe in the Anzhou grassland.
About the person of Tai Liang, after some questions and answers, Jiang Nan has learned a lot, he is a military general, but he is well versed in the art of war, and has a certain attainment in poetry, literature and painting, the most important thing is that this person is still a person who is proficient in law and strict military orders.
The 8,000 defeated army is not huge, but no matter how much these defeated soldiers have hatred in their hearts and how they want revenge, they are still defeated in essence.
A young man of twenty-five or sixteen can twist more than 8,000 people into a rope and gather them into a single breath, and he can already know his comprehensive talent. If you want to control such a group of people, how can you do it if you are not a person with strict military orders?
For Jiangnan's exceptional promotion, Tailiang is also full of confidence. The position of supervisor has always existed in the Kyushu army, and once Tailiang became the supervisor in the Jiangnan military account, then his function was to be responsible for supervising and maintaining military discipline in the army.
When the Xinwei was broken and Zetan County was broken before, there were a large number of soldiers burning, killing and looting, and at present, it seems that what Jiangnan lacks is a character like Xiang Tailiang.
The qualifications are not shallow, can you convince the public. Jiang Nan no longer has any thoughts to think about it, firstly, this can be regarded as a test for Tailiang to be appointed as a supervisor, and secondly, Jiang Nan has bigger things to do in front of him.
The tribe of the Diqiang tribe is close to the vicinity of Wancheng, and now Wancheng has fallen into the hands of Qingguo, so Jiangnan is also very careful on this way.
Fortunately, after some twists and turns, the three of them finally saw the traces of a large camp tent on the grassland.
"Drive!" The little girl still had a great desire to go home, and as soon as she saw the traces of her tribe, she couldn't wait to speed up.
"You... Are you Your Highness? A Qiang guard looked incredulous.
"Why, Alikin, don't you know me after not seeing me for more than ten days!" Yan Shibai sat on the horse and said with a smile to a man from his own tribe.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The man named Alijin didn't even dare to say it, and the next moment he had already put his right hand on his chest and bowed down to Yan Shibai.
"I... I'm going to inform the king, Your Highness, take your friends home first!" ”
Yan Shibai nodded, then dismounted with the three of Jiangnan and walked towards the tribe of the Diqiang tribe.
Obviously, the entire Diqiang clan is still very excited about the return of the Yan Shi Bai, and the old leader Sai Qi only has such a daughter, so the Yan Shi Bai has been regarded as a treasure by the clan since he was a child.
The Diqiang tribe belongs to the middle and upper tribes in the Qiang tribe, but these Qiang tribes are different from the Hulu tribe to live together, and the Qiang branch tribes generally do not interact with each other in old age, so even the first few positions like Di Qiang are difficult to compete with the entire Hulu.
And their greater difference lies in their philosophy, the Hu Lu is brutal, and after plundering the Han cities, they are generally burned and killed, and they also adopt a hostile attitude towards the Han people.
Although the Qiang people are fierce, but the nature of people is still very kind, they generally rely on their own nomadic or farming to live, there is no desire to rob at all, and the Han people are also very close, and often take their own specialties in the cities and counties of Qingzhi and the Han people to trade.
But the lack of desire to grab does not mean that these Qiang people do not have strong combat effectiveness, in the past hundred years Hulu has gradually become stronger, has made many Qiang branches have established a large number of troops, because they gradually understand that only if they have soldiers at hand, it is possible not to be bullied by others.
Walking in the tribe of the Qiang people, Jiangnan can be said to be an eye-opener, the unknown totems, the huge animal bones, have made him a little fascinated.
As Di Qiang's men scrambled to salute their princess, the group had gradually approached the old chief's tent.
For the title of Wang Nu, Jiang Nan is also quite sighed, a few famous clans on the earth have a hundred flowers to call their leader's daughter, but it can be said that it is the first time to hear such a title as Wang Nu.
The big tent of Saiqi, the father of Yan Shi Bai, can be said to be quite magnificent, the fine metal nail cone stabilizes the bottom of the whole tent from sixteen directions, and the sandalwood of Anzhou's specialty is used as the support of the camp tent to look full of atmosphere.
As soon as I entered the camp, there was no sloppiness of a few famous people in Jiangnan's subconscious, and what greeted me was this refreshing sandalwood.
The next thing that came into view was the case tables made of granite, next to each case there was a young man of the Diqiang tribe with long hair to guard, these young people were painted with grass juice, green fangs, and tattooed with incomprehensible Qiang tattoos.
The main seat of Saiqi is even more magnificent, a delicate chaise longue covered with a whole fine white-fronted tiger skin, in front of the chair is a main table with delicate inscriptions, behind it is the head of a huge antelope, and in the middle of the chair and the screen there is a white jade vessel with several bird feathers nearly one and a half meters long.
Jiang Nan and Ling Jian stood in the center of the tent and saluted Saiqi. And Yan Shi Bai had already thrown himself into the arms of the tall and big Saiqi, and there seemed to be tears in the little girl's eyes.
Saiqi is nearly sixty years old, and a few of the Qiang people's unique braids have turned white, and a few deep wrinkles on his forehead can't stop his old and strong momentum.
Saiqi, who was wearing a black velvet coat, gently held his daughter's hair, and the dozens of days since his daughter disappeared can imagine the father's mentality.
Jiang Nan Ling was already seated, and after Yan Shibai muttered a few words in his father's ear, he saw two brilliances suddenly flash in Saiqi's eyes.
The Qiang people are still very enthusiastic about entertaining guests, and after a while, some food is sent to Jiangnan, but most of these animal meats are not fully cooked, and Jiangnan does not have the slightest intention of moving chopsticks, but just watching the suckling pig driving the barbecue in the middle of the big tent and not knowing what to think.
At this time, Saiqi had already walked to Jiang Nan's side with his daughter, and saw this man who was already a year old seriously put his fist on his chest and bowed to Jiang Nan.
"The little girl has been taken care of by General Po for these days, and Sage has thanked her here!"
Sage's Chinese is quite standard, and his attitude immediately won Jiangnan's favor.
Jiang Nan didn't dare to be rude, and immediately got up and said: "The leader is polite, Bai'er is already Nan's sister-in-law, and it is natural to take care of him." ”
When Sage heard this, he cast a questioning look at his daughter, and when he saw his daughter nodding, he immediately rejoiced: "That's really a blessing for Bai'er!" ”
Sage's attitude was very sincere, and Jiang Nan was naturally enthusiastic about it, and in the end, at Sage's insistence, Jiang Nan could only change his name and call Sage uncle.
Jiangnan is also very emotional about the person of Saiqi, Jiangnan didn't want to have too many relatives in this world, but after all, Yan's Bai is his own sister-in-law, and Saiqi's kindness gradually reminded Jiangnan of his father on the earth, and over time, he never called Saiqi an uncle and did not suffer.
"Good! Good! Saiqi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Ling Jian beside Jiang Nan again.
Ling Quan has also been listening to the conversation between Sage and his lord, and at this time, Sage's eyes are on him, and he is also looking at him.
"Uncle!"
After a long time, Ling Quan finally shouted these two words.
There was a hint of guilt in Saiqi's eyes, looking at a scar on the right side of Ling's face, and his heart was already full of bad feelings, at this time he really had too much to say to the young man in front of him.
If it weren't for the protection of Ling's father, maybe there would have been no Diqiang clan a long time ago!
But his eldest brother Ling Zhen was killed, and his son Ling Zhen was separated from him ten years ago, which simply made this old man dare not face the spiritual position of the big brother.
In the past ten years, Saiqi has stopped looking for Ling pressure all the time, but how big is the Anzhou grassland? If you want to find someone, it's not like looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea.
Due to the lack of grassland resources near Anhui City, coupled with the harassment of a large number of Hulu, Saiqi has always hidden the intention of returning to the bottom of his heart, he is the king of the Qiang tribe, and naturally he is the person in charge of the Qiang tribe.
But as soon as Hu Lu's side slowed down the pace of aggression, he immediately led his tribe to relocate the tribe to the vicinity of Anhui City, and sent his tribesmen into the city every day to inquire about the news. It can be said that all this is for the convenience of finding the results of Ling Pressure.
Ling Pressure's uncle can be said to be the greatest comfort to Sage, because from that sentence of "uncle", Sage already knows that Ling Pressure has never held a grudge against him.
Sage felt that he had failed, not only had he lost his eldest brother's son, but he had also lost his own daughter not long ago, and these days, he even felt like he was going to end his own life with his own hands.
But today's Sage feels that he is very successful, his daughter is back, and the eldest brother's son is also back, and not only that, but his daughter also has a righteous brother like the general of the third rank of the country.
What is the greatest wish of the older generation? I'm afraid that what I see is that my juniors are promising, and now, aren't the three Jiangnan people in front of Sage like this.
The suckling pig had already been roasted, although it was more to Jiangnan's appetite than those undercooked things, but at this time he had only chewed a few bites gently.
But on the other hand, Ling Pressure is not like this, he grew up in the grassland, and such an authentic roast suckling pig is probably his favorite.
The uncle also recognized it, and his wife also had it, and although Jiang Nan was named his lord, he was actually more like his brother.
His family is long gone, but aren't these people in front of him family? What other scruples do you have in front of your family? The bones and oil had already stained the fine granite case, but Ling Quan didn't slow down his pace of eating and drinking.
On the other side, Jiang Nan chuckled, Yan Shibai was constantly wiping the oil on Ling Bian's mouth, while Saiqi looked at the three of them with a knowing smile that he hadn't shown for a long time.
