Chapter 55
"I have heard the name of General Tang for a long time, and now I can see it, it is really heroic and extraordinary, and my brother admires and admires it!"
The garrison general of the fortress is not lower than Tang Yin, but his compliments made Tang Yin have (chicken) skin bumps.
With such a city defense and such a guard, he is really worried that once the Mozambican army comes, the Baguan may not be able to support it for half a day and will have to be flattened by others.
But this is not his business, and he is too lazy to * heart, Tang Yin chuckled lightly twice, and didn't say anything more.
There were no dwellings in Baguan, all the barracks of the army and soldiers, and the mansions of the guards were also very simple, simple dwellings made of mounds of earth and stones, as if the wind could blow it down.
Entering the house, the guests and hosts sat down, Tang Yin did not have polite words, and asked straight to the point: "General Ying, I wonder when Her Royal Highness the Princess will arrive at Baguan?"
"Well...... this one" Yingbu held his chin and thought about it for a long time and said, "It is estimated that it will be there in a day or two." ”
"Estimated?" Tang Yin was certainly not satisfied with such an ambiguous reply. He asked, "Didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Mozambican side send someone to tell him in advance?"
Ying Bu shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that it hasn't been yet, I haven't gotten any news about this." ”
The army has always attached great importance to strictness (prohibition), and there is no room for sloppiness, what vague words such as 'estimate', 'seeming' and so on are taboo, looking at Yingbu with a smile on his face, Tang Yin really can't understand how he sat in the position of a bully guard.
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Tang Yin couldn't understand the answer he wanted from Yingbu, and he had a bad impression of him, so he only chatted a few words hastily, and then left the corps.
There was no hotel in Baguan, and he and Qiu Zhen lived in the camp tent of the corps.
During the meal, Tang Yin asked, "Yingbu doesn't look very good!"
"Hehe!" Qiu Zhen smiled understandingly, sighed lightly, and said: "The conditions of the overlord are too poor, the atmosphere is tense but there is no war, who wants to hold on here?"
He picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for Tang Yin and himself, and then took a big sip, and said: "Now there are two places in the Wind Country that no one fights for and no one grabs, and the first place is the Plains County of Tianyuan County, which is close to the Morphis Federation, and there are two cities, five towns, and two cities in the county. In just ten years, the county guards of Pingyuan County alone have been replaced six times, of which five county guards were wounded and died, and as for the city lord, I don't know how many have been replaced; It's boring, and even normal people can be * crazy. ”
"Oh! I see. Hearing this, Tang Yin nodded, no wonder Yingbu looked unkempt, sloppy, and down-and-out, no wonder he was so enthusiastic when he saw himself, it is estimated that he may not be able to see a new face in Baguan for several years. Now, he has some sympathy for Yingbu, if he is trapped here, he estimates that he is not much better than Yingbu.
Tang Yin asked, "Do we still have wine (meat)?"
"Yes! When I came out of Chongcheng, I had a lot of people prepare. Qiu Zhen said with a smile.
"That's right, prepare more wine (meat), let's go to Baguan to eat and drink. Tang Yin smiled and stood up.
He went and returned, but it was quite unexpected for Yingbu, especially when he saw the wine (meat) he brought, Yingbu was even more surprised.
Without stepping around, Tang Yin put the wine (meat) on the table one by one, waved his hand and said, "General Ying won't mind drinking and eating with me, right?"
Yingbu came back to his senses, shook his head again and again, and hurriedly said, "How come?!" As he spoke, he was afraid that Tang Yin would take away the wine (meat), he sat down as fast as he could, first grabbed a large piece of beef (meat) and stuffed it into his mouth, and then picked up the wine bowl, making a gesture to drink, but as soon as the edge of the bowl reached his mouth, his movements froze violently, hehe laughed dryly, looked at Tang Yin, and said: "General Tang, alcohol is not allowed in the army, you ...... You can't be tempting me, are you?"
Tang Yin laughed head-on, picked up his wine bowl, and said, "General Ying, I'll do it first as a respect!" As he spoke, he made a grunt and drank the wine in the bowl.
Fengren (surname) is strong, and the wine is also spicy, drinking into the stomach, it is really as if there are hundreds of knives cutting his intestines, but the booze is extremely enjoyable and happy.
Seeing that he drank the wine first, Yingbu did not hesitate any longer, and as soon as he raised his head, he also drank the wine dry. He let out a long sigh and praised: "Good wine, really good wine!" As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yin and said with a smile: "I remember the last time I drank, it should have been last year, no, it seems to be ...... It's been two or three years!"
Seeing him laughing, Tang Yin felt bitter, picked up the wine jar, poured it full of wine, and only said: "Drink!"
"!"
"!"
The two clashed glasses and drank the wine in the bowl again. Qiu Zhen has a good amount of wine, but he can't compare with the two of them, and after a few bowls, his face is already red, showing drunkenness.
And Tang Yin and Yingbu drank bowl after bowl, and it didn't take long, and the two jars full of wine had bottomed out.
Tang Yin's alcohol consumption is excellent, and he can't even get slightly drunk at this time, although Yingbu's alcohol consumption is also good, but now his tongue is a little straight when he speaks.
He patted Tang Yin's shoulder, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Tang, I really envy you, you can do things in the capital, how can you do things in the capital, it's been six years, I haven't been home for six years!"
"Why don't you apply to the royal court for transfer?" Tang Yin opened a jar of new wine.
"Why not?!" Yingbu's head shook like a rattle, and said: "When I first came, I applied for an appointment almost every month, but every time I sent it to the capital, it was all a stone in the sea, and I finally ran into a reply, and it was just to write that I should not be impatient in Baguan Shao'an, strictly abide by my post, and don't rush back to the capital and so on!"
"Now, I've figured it out completely, and it's in vain to apply for an appointment again, this kind of hellish place, only crazy people are willing to come. Yingbu drank another bowl of wine and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I really hope that the army of Mozambique can attack me, so that I will be completely liberated, but I can't rest assured that the more than 10,000 brothers below, they are more bitter than me......"
Tang Yin could understand the hardships of Yingbu and the defenders below, but he couldn't do anything, he couldn't help anything, so he could only pick up the wine bowl and say, "Get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows!"
"A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, it's a good job, do it!"
On this day, Yingbu was drunk, Tang Yin was slightly drunk, but a simple meal of wine also made the two form a friendship, and Yingbu really helped Tang Yin a lot, which is the so-called unintentional (insertion) Liu Liucheng (Yin).
The eldest princess of the imperial family did not let Tang Yin wait too long, and the next morning, Her Royal Highness the princess's team arrived at Baguan.
The first to be found was the defenders on the tower, and when they saw a team with the banner of the Mozambican army from afar, the faces of the guards changed in fright, and they ran down the city wall as soon as possible to report the Yingbu.
At this time, Yingbu and Tang Yin were still asleep, and suddenly heard that there was a brigade of Mo Jun, both of them woke up from their wines, each put on armor, and hurried up to the city wall.
The two stood at the head of the city, looked closely, and saw a cavalry team of more than 20,000 people coming quickly in the distance, the team was playing the banner of Mozambique, and the distance was getting closer, and it was more real to see, this cavalry was really considered to be a strong soldier and a strong horse, the horse was dressed in a battle robe, and the knight was light in helmet and light armor on it, so fast marching speed, so many cavalry, still able to maintain a neat formation, just the momentum, it was enough to deter people.
Tang Yin did not know that the country of Mozambique was known for its cavalry skills.
"This is not an enemy army!" Ying Bu only glanced twice, then judged it, and said: "There is a banner of fighting the empire in the center of the team, this should be the escort of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin perked up, looked carefully, and sure enough, there was a golden flag in the center of the team, on which the dragon flying and the phoenix danced embroidered with two big characters - Haotian.
Soon, the cavalry stopped at a stone's throw in front of Baguan, and then, two war horses quickly rushed out of the team, and the second general immediately arrived at the city of Baguan at a gallop, wearing light iron chain armor and white tassels on his head, and one of them shouted loudly: "I am Liao Gang, the general of the Mocan flying cavalry, and I am escorting Her Royal Highness the princess here today, so that your general can come out to speak!"
This general, who is in his twenties, speaks with confidence and words as loud as a bell.
Sure enough, Tang Yin nodded at Ying Bu and said, "I'll go to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess, and General Ying will stay in the city just in case!"
"Okay!" Yingbu reminded: "General Tang be careful!"
"Don't worry. While speaking, Tang Yin also ran down the city wall quickly.
Yingbu crouched down at the head of the city and shouted downward: "I am Yingbu, the overlord general, please wait a moment, Your Excellency." ”
The self-proclaimed young general raised his head and looked at Yingbu a few times, the corners of his mouth twitched, his face suddenly (revealed) contempt, and he didn't reply, only snorted with his nostrils in response.
After a short time, Tang Yin took Gu Yue and Lotte, two thousand commanders, and two thousand soldiers out of the city gate.
He rode his horse to Liao Gang and said, "Your Excellency can let Her Royal Highness the princess's team come over." ”
Liao Gang frowned and looked at Tang Yin, feeling that this general was much more energetic than the one on the city wall, and he asked, "Are you ......?"
"Commander of the Second Corps of the Wind Country, Tang Yin!"
"Oh! it turned out to be just a corps commander. Yu Gang sneered and said, "It seems that Fengning is fighting, and you really lost very badly, so you can only send a corps commander to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is extremely ridiculous!"
"Hehe!" Tang Yin chuckled and said: "To protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, only the commander of the corps is enough, how can it be like your country, so prosperous, is it really so unpeaceful in the territory of Mozambique?"
Yu was just said by Tang Yin's old face turned red, and said angrily: "This is to show respect for Her Royal Highness the princess, don't you even understand this?"
