Chapter 33 The Expedition

(ps: Let's have two more today, the second one is at night, new people and new books, please support your friends.) )

The ancient army went to war, the trouble of the procedure, the long time of preparation, it can definitely make any urgent surname collapse, Tao Ying is such an urgent surname, Tao Ying has always been the gentleman's army as a 24-hour rapid response emergency army training, the requirement is fast and fast, the order to issue the army to set off immediately, has long been his temper to train a lot of urgency, and now he has to make long and tedious preparations for an army destined to lag behind, Tao Ying is really a little unbearable.

Fortunately, Deputy Director Tao also practiced a means of adjusting his surname in the officialdom, and when he really couldn't resist the kindness of Tao Qian and Cao Bao and others, Tao Ying had no choice but to calm down and patiently accompany Zhang Zhen to prepare for the expedition, and at the same time forced himself to learn this complex and cumbersome set of expedition procedures, take its essence and remove its dross, and prepare in advance for himself to command more troops in the future - after all, Tao Ying could not always command only 800 cavalry.

It is also beneficial to be forced to delay time, at least during this period, Mi Zhen secretly came to Tao Mansion again, and once again met with Tao Ying in the back garden of Tao Mansion, and the purpose was naturally to inquire about Tao Ying's expedition, and personally asked Tao Ying to verify the truth of the rumors, when he learned that the rumors were true, Mi Zhen's delicate little face turned pale all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to hold Tao Ying's claws, and said nervously: "Childe, you only went to an army of less than 3,000 to attack Guangling County, which has 20,000 enemies, is it too risky?" ”

"It's a bit risky, but it's worth it." Of course, Tao Ying would not let go of this opportunity to please the beauty, and while gently stroking Mi Zhen's smooth little hand, he said more gently: "Because I don't establish such a little merit, and I don't reverse my nerd image in the minds of the military and civilian people in Xuzhou, what face do you have to marry you?" How can I be worthy of my beautiful and moon-looking Zhen'er? ”

"Childe ——!" Mi Zhen's tender face turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head and said with a fever on her face: "Childe, why are you here again?" Why do you keep saying these things every time I'm alone with you...... These words? Childe, you're a nerd there, I think it's just a flamboyant tongue! ”

"Conscience of heaven and earth, am I flamboyant there?" Tao Ying shouted injustice, reached out and lifted Mi Zhen's pointed chin, stared at Mi Zhen's beautiful eyes and said affectionately: "What I said is all true, I don't want my Zhen'er to be laughed at by the world after passing the door, saying that a flower was inserted in cow dung." So I have to work hard, I have to work hard, I want the world to envy my Zhen'er, envy my Zhen'er for marrying a hero who stands up to the sky, a good man who treats her wholeheartedly and loves her. ”

Mi Zhen was so ashamed that she was so ashamed that she couldn't feel ashamed, but her heart was as sweet as drinking honey, and her soft delicate body was like boiled noodles, slowly snuggling into Tao Ying's arms, and Deputy Director Tao took the opportunity to show the **** practiced in Fengyue Place, while saying some sweet and disgusting affectionate words in Mi Zhen's ear, while moving her hands and feet on Mi Zhen's body, rubbing oil wantonly, and thinking in her heart whether she should buy a ticket after getting on the boat first, and cook the raw rice to mature rice first?

Deputy Director Tao's evil attempt failed to succeed, when Deputy Director Tao's claws skillfully drilled into Mi Zhen's underwear, Mi Zhen's little sister immediately struggled to break free from Deputy Director Tao's arms as if she had been bitten by a snake, and grabbed Deputy Director Tao's claws, and said with a red face: "Childe, please respect yourself, we haven't even reached the step of sending the media to hire now, please pay attention to proportion." ”

"Afraid of what?" Deputy Director Tao said with a smile: "Zhen'er, what age is it now, you still hold that old idea, is it too pedantic?" ”

Yin smiled, Tao Ying went to move his hands and feet again, but this time Mi Zhen said that he would not give Tao Ying a chance again, pushed Tao Ying away and stood up, blushing and said: "Childe, since my brother has mentioned the family matter to your father, the little girl will be your person sooner or later, but not now, the little girl doesn't want you to look down on the child, and I don't want the child to think that the little girl is the kind of casual woman." ”

"But I'm the kind of casual man." Tao Ying muttered in his heart, with a simple smirk on his face.

"Childe, there's one more thing." Finding that Tao Ying's smile seemed to have bad intentions, Mi Zhen, who was not too stupid, hurriedly changed the topic and asked Tao Ying: "Childe, there is one thing that the little girl is very strange, why did the two brothers of the little girl mention the matter of your southern expedition to the childe, all of them sneered, and Brother Fang kept laughing at the son, you are not self-sufficient and seek your own death?" The two brothers of the little girl, why do you have such an attitude towards your son? ”

"Of course they wish I was dead." Tao Ying sneered in his heart, but his face was full of relaxed smiles, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhen'er, this is normal, that brother doesn't want his sister to marry into a good family and rely on her for life?" Your two brothers are encouraging me to work hard and let their little sister marry a good family. ”

"Really? How do I feel like it? Mi Zhen will be skeptical.

"Sister Zhen'er, don't worry, how could I lie to you?" Tao Ying waved his hand and blew nonsense, and leaned up with a hippie smile, and opened his arms to stop Mi Zhen into his arms, "Zhen'er, I'm going to go south in a day or two, and we will have to meet again after a long time, before parting, Zhen'er, don't you want to give me a souvenir?" ”

Yin smiled, Tao Ying wanted to kiss Mi Zhen again, but Mi Zhen had suffered a loss once and was no longer fooled this time, deftly avoided Tao Ying's embrace, smiled and hid to the side, and then quickly stuffed an object into Tao Ying's hand, and said shyly: "I know that you will not let me go, so I have already prepared it, take it, I gave three thousand yuan in the Taoist temple in exchange for the peace charm." ”

Tao Ying looked down and found that Mi Zhen stuffed himself with a red sachet, which was full of incense, thinking that it was not only filled with the peace charm that Mi Zhen asked for herself, but also contained all kinds of precious spices, Tao Ying was about to laugh a few words, but Mi Zhen took the initiative to come over, kissed Tao Ying lightly on the cheek, and then quickly ran away, all the way to the courtyard gate, leaving a shy voice of a string of silver bells, "Childe, Mi Zhen is waiting for your triumphant return." ”

"That's it! Next time I have a chance to push down and! Deputy Director Tao snapped his fingers proudly, and suddenly remembered another equally delicate and moving shadow, and pondered in his heart: "That little girl, it's time to see me off, right?" It seems that I have to walk around the street more these days, the little girl is thin-skinned, embarrassed to take the initiative to come to the door, I am a benevolent gentleman, I want to take the initiative to give the little girl the opportunity to confess, and I can't live up to the sincerity of others. ”

……………………

Deputy Director Tao's wishful thinking miscalculated, and it took several days to prepare for the troops, Lin Qing's little girl didn't appear in front of Tao Ying once, but Mi Zhen quietly came to see Tao Ying again - she sent Tao Ying a pair of cloth shoes and two pairs of insoles made by herself, which made Tao Ying both moved and regretful, "It's broken, the joke is too big, the little girl named Lin Qing must have thought that I was really married to Mi Zhen, so she took the initiative to quit." ”

After all, this era was the turbulent era of the Three Kingdoms, and although the Xuzhou army, which was surrounded by enemies, could not do the 24-hour rapid response that Tao Ying expected, it was basically ready for war at any time, so after six days, the Xuzhou army's southern expedition was prepared. On the tenth day of the first month of August, Tao Ying and Zhang Zhen held a swearing-in ceremony at the south gate of Xuzhou, swearing to go south to crusade against Xuzhou's number one traitor, Zhenrong. The 800 gentlemen's army stationed in Wuxian County was also led by Tao Ji and returned to Xuzhou from Wuxian County to participate in the swearing-in meeting.

After a lapse of several months, there are only less than 830 people left in the Junzi Army for the first time in front of the Xuzhou military and civilians in public appearance, and what left a deep impression on the Xuzhou military and civilians is that in addition to the three almost funny military flags of the Junzi Army, there is also an even more funny Junzi Army slogan - Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman is good! More than 800 gentlemen and soldiers shouted the first poem of the opening of the "Book of Songs" neatly, lined up at the solemn and solemn oath meeting, and were inspected by Tao Qian and Xuzhou civil and military officials.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano. Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, the ...... of bells and drums. ”

Hearing this neat and loud slogan of the gentleman's army, most of the officials and people of Xuzhou couldn't help laughing, countless people laughed, the Mi Zhu brothers were clenched their teeth, for fear that they would laugh out loud in front of Tao Qian, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son looked at each other, Cao Bao and Lu You and other Tao's loyal ministers couldn't cry or laugh, Tao Qian and Zhang Xu, who was about to accompany the gentleman's army to the south, were pale together, and they were embarrassed. Only Tao Ying's eldest brother Tao Shang nodded again and again, full of praise, thinking that his brother did have the style of a gentleman, and in a total of five months, he trained more than 800 illiterate gentlemen and soldiers into elegant men, and grew his own Tao family style.

It seems that the heavens can't stand the clown performance of the Junzi Army, the sky that has been clear for a long time is suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain pours down, drenching all the officials and people of Xuzhou who participated in the oath meeting. It was also at this time that some of the knowledgeable people who were still laughing before suddenly discovered that in the pouring rain, including the ace Danyang soldiers of the Xuzhou army, were scattered, and the team was messy, but the 800 gentlemen and soldiers were like steel and cast iron, standing still in the wind and rain, and the neat and loud voices of fair ladies and gentlemen were always in the ears.

Seeing such a scene, Tao Qian, who had followed the famous Eastern Han Dynasty general Huangfu Song's expedition to the east and west, not only was his face no longer pale, but also deeply shocked, because Tao Qian could see at a glance that his son personally trained this gentleman's army, and the level of combat effectiveness may not be estimated, but in terms of organization and discipline alone, it has definitely surpassed any army at present, and is directly chasing the legendary Qin Fallen Six Kingdoms Heroes!

Also shocked were a group of Xuzhou veterans such as Cao Bao, Zhang Ji and Lu You, because although the Danyang soldiers in their hands were strong in combat effectiveness, the organizational discipline was rotten and could not be worse, and there was a large or small civil strife in the barracks almost every month, which has always given Cao Bao and Zhang Ji and other veterans a headache. And now comparing Tao Ying's gentleman's army, Cao Bao, Zhang Zhen and Lu You and other Xuzhou veterans will inevitably suddenly find that the army under their command is simply a rabble in terms of organization and discipline!

"What's the big deal about grandstanding? My house slaves only need to train casually for a few days, and they can keep them better than they stand. Mi Fang pursed her lips secretly, and quietly stabbed Mi Zhu next to her, and bowed to the five huge wooden carts behind the Junzi Army, signaling Mi Zhu to pay attention.

"I've seen it, Thunderbolt." Mi Zhu replied in a low voice, and then snorted coldly and whispered: "The size sketch has already been sent to Xuande Gong, if it is really useful, Xuande Gong can imitate it at any time." I'm afraid, these thunderbolts don't even have a chance to see the Guangling City Wall! Mi Fang smiled, deeply impressed by her brother's words.

At three o'clock, after listening to Tao Qian's lecture in the wind and rain, in the sound of the horn, the 800 gentlemen's army and 2,000 Xuzhou infantry marched against the storm and rain, and went south along the straight and flat official road, rushing to the first grain and grass supply underground Picheng. And in the depths of the crowd in the distance, Mi Zhen, who was hidden in the carriage, also folded her hands, closed her beautiful eyes and prayed silently: "The gods and Buddhas of the heavens, the passing gods, please be sure to bless ...... and bless my Tao Lang to return safely." ”

Mi Zhen prayed silently for her sweetheart in the carriage, but if Mi Zhen's sister knew what our Deputy Director Tao was doing and thinking now, I am afraid that she would definitely withdraw all her prayers, and then pray that the evil ghosts of the four towns and the bull head and horse face would uphold justice, and lock the damned Deputy Director Tao to the Netherworld and enter the eighteenth layer of hell! Because our Deputy Director Tao was looking around on a war horse not much bigger than a donkey, constantly looking for that familiar pretty face in the crowd, and constantly pondering in his heart, "Little girl, you really did a great job, you didn't even come to send me a show?" It really me off, the military stick is doubled, and the position of the second wife is not left for you! ”
