Chapter 22
(ps: The reward of 'Dongping Yangfang' friends, today is still two more than 10,000 words, and the second one is still in the evening.) )
At the same time as the war horses were equipped in place and the riding training began, the relocation of the Junzi Army's camp was also quickly put on Tao Ying's way - Tao Ying didn't want to expose his advanced equipment and advanced tactics outside Xuzhou City, so that some Erwuzai would leak Tao Ying's magic weapon to Xiao Pei's imperial uncle. Therefore, as soon as the war horses were distributed, Tao Ying immediately decided to ask Tao Qian for permission to leave Pengcheng and camp elsewhere under the pretext that cavalry training needed a wide space.
After listening to Chen Deng's kind suggestion, Tao Ying had already decided to choose the new camp of the Junzi Army in Wuxian County, eighty miles south of Pengcheng, but what puzzled Chen Deng, who was secretly observing Tao Ying, was that when he said it so obviously, Tao Ying still made a request to Tao Qian in public, hoping to relocate the new camp of the Junzi Army to Xiapi, the richest and most prosperous place in Xuzhou. He categorically rejected Tao Ying's plea without giving any reason, and also made the Mizhu brothers laugh fiercely behind his back - Tao Ying'er is really a nerd who doesn't know the height of the sky!
Tao Qian did not embarrass his son this time, and agreed to Tao Ying's request, allowing all the Junzi Army to move to Wuxian County, and at the same time Tao Qian also took the initiative to delegate power, so that Tao Ying could also take charge of Wuxian County affairs, and was ready to observe his son's military talent, but also casually inspect his son's political talent. Tao Ying comprehended, received the order, and immediately began to work on the relocation of the Junzi Army's camp.
The relocation time of the camp was set on the sixth day of the fourth month, and on the evening of the fifth day of the fourth month, Tao Ying prepared and arranged the affairs of the relocation of the Junzi Army, and it was rare to leave the Junzi Army camp when it was dark, and led more than a dozen personal soldiers to return to Xuzhou City to bid farewell to Tao Qian and the Tao merchants.
Tao Ying's personal soldiers are all Danyang soldiers sent by Cao Hong, who have followed Tao Qian for many years, and are not only Tao Ying's reliable henchmen, but also Tao Ying's eyeliner, so by leaving the camp and returning to the city, Tao Ying had to ask the Danyang soldiers about the recent counter-reconnaissance situation of the Junzi Army - that is, to confirm whether there are still Erwuzai still secretly monitoring and spying on the movements of the Junzi Army. Li Ming, an old man of the Danyang soldiers who was appointed by Tao Ying as the captain of the pro-soldiers, replied: "Hui Gongzi, since the disappearance of the enemy who was discovered by our army but was not alarmed ten days ago, the villain and others have never found any suspicious characters, and even the people who watched the excitement were much less. ”
"That's good." Tao Ying nodded with satisfaction, knowing that his Li Dai Taozhuang's plan had been successful, and decided that the Mizhu brothers who were building the thunderbolt car had relaxed their vigilance, or they no longer dared to continue spying - in the previous anti-reconnaissance war, Cao Hong had secretly killed the eyeliner of the two Mizhu brothers for Tao Ying, and issued a warning in disguise, unless the Mizhu brothers wanted to completely turn their faces with the honorary lord Tao Qian immediately, they had to restrain themselves.
"Report." As if he had come to slap Li Ming, the captain of Tao Ying's own soldiers, in the face, a Danyang soldier who seemed to have an enmity with Li Ming suddenly caught up and whispered next to Tao Ying: "Qi Yu Gongzi, the villain found that there was someone following behind our team, and that person seemed to be sneakily following us when Gongzi came out of the camp, and he had been following him for two miles, so it can be concluded that this person must be meticulous!" ”
"Damn, it's endless!" Tao Ying was a little angry, and said that Lao Tzu was ready to hide in Wuxian County to be afraid of you, and you two Er or 5 Zai also sent people to follow and monitor Lao Tzu, really think Lao Tzu is a sick cat? Is it that Lao Tzu moved to Wuxian, and you still have to send people to Wuxian to monitor?
Angry, Tao Ying looked back carefully, and saw that in the hazy night in the distance, there was indeed a person quietly following behind his team, although the sky was too dark to see the person's appearance too far away, but just looking at his sneaky movements, it was definitely a criminal with bad intentions. At that moment, Tao Ying thought about it for a while, and deliberately raised his voice and ordered: "Li Ming, I forgot to take an official document, so I sent a few people back to get it on the bookcase in my bedroom." ”
After that, Tao Ying lowered his voice and ordered Li Ming: "Pretend to go back to get the official document and take down that fine work from behind!" ”
"No." Li Ming agreed in understanding, and asked in a low voice: "Childe, do you want to die or live?" ”
"Live!" Tao Ying gritted his teeth and ordered: "After taking it, take it to my bedroom, and when I come back from the city, I will personally interrogate this fine work." ”
Li Ming agreed, and immediately arranged according to the plan, the four Danyang soldiers turned their horses' heads, pretended to go to Tao Ying to get the forgotten official document, and rode back to the Junzi Army camp, and the fine work in the distance because he heard Tao Ying's loud order, so he did not suspect and did not escape, and simply let go to the side of the road, with his back to the four Danyang soldiers who rode by, Tao Ying's few old Qiu Ba who had crawled out of the pile of dead people countless times saw that there was such a good thing, and they were even more unceremonious, and even the effort to turn around and come back was saved, and a Danyang soldier quietly pulled out a shoulder knife, When passing by with the fine work, he suddenly bowed on the horse, turned the handle of the knife, and knocked the back of the head with the handle of the knife, and the fine work didn't even snort, and immediately fell softly on the side of the road, and the remaining few Danyang soldiers turned over and dismounted, took out a rope like magic, tied up the fine work that had passed out, threw it on the war horse and left, simply neatly.
"Well done." Tao Ying was very satisfied with Danyang Bing's neatness, and advised: "Find a sack and send it back, wait for me to come back for interrogation, remember, don't let others see him, so as not to startle the snake." After that, Tao Ying patted his horse and walked to the city, ignoring the life or death of the unlucky man, and then Tao Ying's own soldiers found a sack and put the fine work into the sack, and secretly escorted it to the camp of the gentleman's army without mentioning it.
When he entered the city and saw Tao Qian and the pottery merchant, Tao Ying had to kowtow to Tao Qian to say goodbye, explaining that he would leave early tomorrow morning and could not come to say goodbye to Tao Qian. Then there is to apologize to the pottery merchant and ask his brother to forgive him for not being able to help take care of his father, Tao Qian and the pottery merchant father and son repeatedly told Tao to take care of himself and not to be too tired, and then there is to tell the parents to dress and eat. After talking nonsense for a long time, Tao Qian opened the pottery merchant, leaving Tao Ying alone to talk secretly, and then asked Tao Ying straight to the point: "Wu'er, you asked to move to Wuxian, and your father did not object, but you decided to move to the station just to prevent those two dog thieves who ate inside and out, is it too weak?" ”
"The father misunderstood, and the child's request to move to Wuxian County to avoid the two dog thieves who ate inside and out was only one of the purposes." Tao Ying replied respectfully: "The child said that cavalry training needs a vast space, and it is not to find an excuse, the terrain around Wuxian is complex, mountains, forests, rivers, plains and hills, all of which are complete, and now the population has decreased sharply, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is indeed an ideal place for training cavalry, and it is ten times better than Xuzhou City, which is far less crowded than Xuzhou City." ”
"Then why did you propose to move to Xiapi in the first place?" Tao Qian asked two more questions, "Also, although my father is a civil official, my father has also seen the method of training cavalry, which is nothing more than a few equestrian skills, what is the secret?" Although you are smart, you have never experienced the battlefield, and you stay in Pengcheng to train cavalry, Cao Bao and Cao Hong can help you, isn't it far better than you behind closed doors? ”
"If the child doesn't first propose to move to Xiapi and directly request to move to Wuxian, wouldn't someone suspect that the child has great ambitions and plans to lie down and try his courage?" Tao Ying replied with a smile: "After the rebellion of the Cao thieves, Xiapi, which was the least troubled by the Cao thieves, has far surpassed other Xuzhou cities. ”
Tao Qian glanced at Tao Ying, his wrinkled old face showed some relief, and scolded with a smile: "Bold child, even being a father was deceived by you, and I thought that you didn't suffer hardship, and thought of enjoying happiness in Xiapi." No wonder you proposed to move to Xiapi in front of those two dog thieves who were eating inside and out, it turned out to make them think that you had no ambitions. ”
"The child should die, but now our Xuzhou army is seriously injured and can no longer withstand the twists and turns of the accident, so the child has to be cautious." Tao Ying kowtowed, then raised his head and said: "As for the father's belief that the child stays in Xuzhou to train the army, he can get the help of the two generals Cao Bao and Cao Hong, who are experienced on the battlefield-forgive the child for being rude, the child thinks that the tactics and methods of the two Cao generals are outdated, and they have reached the verge of being completely eliminated, so if they help the child to train the army, not only can they not help the child, but it will also backfire, so that the child's training plan will be half the effort." ”
"Outdated? Are Cao Bao and Cao Hong outdated? Tao Qian was not only puzzled by the strange terms in his son's mouth, but also a little dissatisfied with his son's despises on his two most important henchmen, and said: "Wu'er, it is good to have self-confidence, but to despise others without self-esteem is arrogance." ”
"If the child is rude, ask the father to forgive him." Tao Ying said: "But the child is by no means arrogant, but absolutely confident!" The child can take the head guarantee, and within half a year, the child must train an invincible cavalry for his father to come out! At that time, the two generals, Cao Bao and Cao Hong, had to ask the child in turn for advice on the training method of cavalry and the magic of using it. ”
Seeing is believing, Tao Qian, who has been rolling and crawling in the turbulent times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty for decades, will certainly not easily believe his son's arrogant boasting, but fortunately, Tao Ying's recent actions have made Tao Qian look at this nerd son more than once, plus Tao Ying has to train only a few hundred cavalry - not enough to catch up with the more than 30,000 troops that Tao Qian lost in the Battle of Surabaya. So Tao Qian didn't say anything more, just nodded and said: "Okay, my father will believe you once, you go to Wuxian, I hope you can fulfill your promise and build an invincible cavalry for your father." ”
………………
He talked a lot of nonsense with his cheap father Tao Qian, and it was almost the second watch, Tao Ying went out of the city and returned to the Junzi Army camp next to the small school field outside the east gate, and also returned to the barracks, Tao Ying, who was exhausted from the relocation of the training base, remembered that he had just caught a fine work, but the exhausted Tao Ying didn't have the heart to interrogate this inconsequential fine work overnight, and led a few personal soldiers into his bedroom, and just saw that the fine work was tied up and put in the corner, he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Too lazy to judge, Drag it out and strip it naked and tie it to a wooden stake, and feed the mosquitoes for the night. ”
"No." Li Ming and the other soldiers hugged their fists and agreed, and dragged the fine work in the past, and the thin work whose mouth was blocked heard Tao Ying's words, and was immediately frightened, and quickly struggled desperately and screamed, desperately trying to attract Tao Ying's attention.
"What's it called? If I didn't chop you up and throw you into the waste Yellow River, you should be Amitabha. Tao Ying scolded angrily, and when he looked at the fine appearance again, Tao Ying suddenly froze, and then hurriedly ordered: "Stop, put him down!" "It turns out that this sneaky meticulous work tracking Tao Ying is none other than the first deserter of the Junzi Army - Lin Qing!
By the way, because of Tao Ying's perverted torture, the number of deserters in the Junzi Army has now risen to more than 20 people, but the later deserters are not as lucky as Lin Qing, most of them were captured alive, two of them were also beheaded, and the rest were all sent to the Dadong Mountain Forced Labor Camp as laborers.
drove the confused soldiers out of the bedroom, Tao Ying was extremely considerate and personally picked up Lin Qing, and helped Lin Qing to sit on his bed, and then took out the rags in Lin Qing's mouth, and Lin Qing's ruddy little mouth just got free, and immediately bit on Tao Ying's claws, the silver teeth entered the flesh and saw blood, and Tao Ying screamed like a pig, "Stinky girl......, stinky boy, I kindly let you go, and you will take revenge?" ”
"Grace will take revenge?" Lin Qing let go of his teeth, spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, and said angrily: "You sent someone to knock me unconscious, put me in a sack and escort me here, and finally ...... my clothes and feed me to mosquitoes!" What kindness do you have to me? ”
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Tao Ying rubbed the bleeding wound and smiled bitterly: "I found out that you were following me, thinking that you were spying on my fine work, so I sent someone to arrest you." ”
"Phew! Tracking you is a meticulous job, so why don't you arrest all the people on the street? Lin Qing's little face turned red with anger, and he scolded sharply: "You still have the face to call yourself a gentleman, and you still have the face to play the banner of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality?" Phew! Hypocrite! Bungler! ”
"You can't really blame me." Tao Ying said with a wry smile: "Some time ago, there were fine works hanging around me every day, and you have been sneaking with me today, so I am all soldiers." ”
Of course, Lin Qing didn't understand what Tao Ying's idiom from later generations meant, so he just struggled and scolded: "Then you will send someone to arrest me?" And beat me unconscious, put me in a sack, and put me here? You are so careless about people's lives, I must go to the government to sue you, so that the people of Xuzhou know your true face! ”
"Brother Lin, don't say it, I'm really not afraid of you suing." Tao Ying said with a hippie smile: "Brother Lin, have you forgotten? You also have an identity, a deserter from my descendant Gentlemen's Army! I caught the deserters in my own ranks, and I justified it, and I will take advantage of your accusations wherever you go. ”
Lin Qing was stunned, and then he remembered an important question - he seemed to be a deserter wanted by the Gentlemen's Army! Tao Yingze, while admiring Lin Qing's aggrieved and moving appearance, leaned in front of Lin Qing's face and said with a smile: "Crookedly, although I didn't catch it, but I caught a deserter, it's not in vain today." ”
"You ......, what do you want?" Intuitively discovering Tao Ying's bad intentions, Lin Qing subconsciously shrank his body and tried to stay away from Tao Ying.
"What do I want?" Tao Yingzhen smiled and said: "The morning of the second day when you became a deserter, I announced the punishment of you in front of all the soldiers of the Junzi Army, after I caught you, I will beat you with a hundred military sticks, and the military order is like a mountain, of course I will escort you to all the soldiers of the Junzi Army and beat you with a hundred military sticks." ”
"You dare!" Lin Qing trembled and said, "Do you know who my father is? If you hit me, he won't let you go! ”
"Who is your father?" Tao Ying thought about this question the most, and deliberately provoked: "I don't believe it, in this Xuzhou City, except for my father, who else can not let me go?" ”
"My dad is ......." Lin Qing was almost fooled, but fortunately changed his words in time: "I won't tell you." ”
"There's no way around that, I'll have to fight with a baton." Tao Ying smiled even more, and stretched out his claws, wanting to touch Lin Qing's touching little face.
"Stay away from me, stinking thief." Lin Qing was startled again, and quickly shrank back, completely leaning against the wall to avoid Tao Ying's claws.
Forcing Lin Qing to his back against the wall, Tao Ying, who had risen early, simply knelt on the bed and put his face in front of Lin Qing's face, which made Lin Qing tremble again, "You ......, what do you want to do?" I'm a man, and I'm not as good as Longyang. ”
"But I have." Tao Yingyin smiled and leaned closer, and said with a wicked smile: "Deserter Lin Qing, you have two choices, one is to beat you with a hundred military sticks by the military law team in front of all the gentlemen and soldiers." The second option is that now I will personally enforce the military law, use the stick on my body, and beat you with a hundred military sticks, and then you can go. ”
"With the stick on you?" Lin Qing was stunned at first, and then suddenly came to his senses, under the flush of his face, Lin Qing, whose hands were tied behind his back, pushed his knees up, and viciously pushed at Tao Ying's military baton that he carried, and scolded: "Stinky silver thief, die!" ”
"Do you know what kind of baguette it is?" Tao Ying, who had long been guarding against Lin Qing's move, easily dodged, and suddenly hugged Lin Qing and kissed her the cherry lips............
This can't be blamed for Lin Qing's slow reaction, in the past, when Deputy Director Tao met socializing in the 21st century, he moved faster than now.
After being held by Tao Ying and gnawed on his small mouth for a long time, Lin Qing finally came back to his senses, struggled all over his body and finally pushed Tao Ying away, scolding with a red face while spitting: "Stinky silver thief!" You are really good as Longyang, I am a man, and you are even ....... ”
"If you're still sure you're a man, then I'll strip you naked and check your clothes right away." Tao Ying smiled and threatened Lin Qing.
"What do you mean?" Lin Qing was stunned again, and it took a while to react from Tao Ying's evil smile, and said angrily: "You already knew that I was a woman? ”
"Don't blame me, blame your makeup skills for being too bad, and lie to my third brother who only knows how to fight and kill all day long." Tao Ying shrugged his shoulders and replied, "As for me, I already saw it when I met you for the first time. ”
Lin Qing was completely stunned, and after a long time, Lin Qing raised two tender legs that could barely move and kicked Tao Ying violently, blushing and scolding while kicking, "Stinky silver thief!" I wondered why you had to let me be your personal soldier, and you wanted me to be in charge of your diet and daily life, it turns out that you, a stinky silver thief, have not been at ease for a long time! Silver thief! Shameless! Hypocrite! ”
"I'm not a hypocrite, I'm a true gentleman." Tao Ying avoided Lin Qing's angry kicking and explained: "It is said in the Book of Poetry: My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good. I'm a true gentleman, so of course I have to keep you, a big beauty, by my side, so that I can chase ....... Ouch, I said Sister Lin, why are you kicking me specifically? ”
