Chapter 525: A Changed Person
The army received the general's order, and it moved forward rapidly, more than twice as fast as before.
An Yantong told Ah Yi to follow the mountain road back to his village, if someone asked, only said that he was lost in the mountains, no need to say much, everything will be discussed in the overall situation, Ah Yi listened to her words the most, said goodbye to several people, and returned Mao Mao to Sun Shining, and left calmly.
Sun Shining listened to Shen Nianyi's words, looked at Mao Mao again, and felt that it actually had some prestige in his posture, and was thinking that he didn't know what else it was capable of, Shen Nianyi had already mounted a horse to her side, got on the horse with a low shout, grabbed her arm, and placed her in front of him with skill.
"It seems that I will also have to practice riding in the future so that I can act conveniently." Sun Shining accompanied Shen Nian around in a circle, as if he had a great dream, but when he turned around, he found that the two of them were empty-handed, almost nothing, but looking at it, the soldiers and horses in front of him were like long dragons, which was not the real purpose of entering the mountain this time.
"The ideas you said are excellent." Shen Nianyi probably saw that she was a little uneasy, "But these are all speculations, perhaps, nothing happened." ”
"I also hope it's peaceful." Sun Shining's habit of riding horses on weekdays is half nestled in his arms, and there are many people at this time, she sits very upright, with a straight waist and a raised head.
"No matter what country the people are, they will not want to fight year after year." There is one thing, Shen Nianyi did not tell him, he once read an account, such a vast land as the Celestial Empire, so many good fields and diligent people, but every year, thirty percent of the harvest is handed over to the national treasury, all of which are used for border defense, and even if General Ning uses his troops quickly, the number of soldiers and generals who die on the battlefield every year is more than a thousand.
Every soldier who dies in battle has a family member, and there are brothers and sisters, and the death of them will inevitably bring even greater suffering to these people.
And this war can not be stopped, no one has the ability to completely end, as Ning Ningsheng said, unless it is to exterminate the army of the Shun Heavenly Kingdom, then within ten years, if you want to fight again, you must recuperate, or you can exchange it for ten years of peaceful life, but how many corpses and bones are piled up around these two Zhao Mountains, and the blood-stained snow fields are red.
Halfway through the road, there has been a rapid march back to report, that side is still in the dead defense, no matter how the enemy provokes, just close the border gate, the other party at first thought that Ningxia life and death are unknown, ready to use the technique of trapping, now I heard that the army has returned, all of a sudden a little chaotic, has not yet attacked has shown the momentum of rout.
Sun Shining was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Obviously he has the upper hand, why did he only hear that General Ning's name was already in chaos?" ”
"When we return like this, we must pass through the place where the two armies are fighting, those who were originally attacking the city are equivalent to being flanked from front to back, as long as the army arrives, and the gate of the border pass is opened again, it is not a siege at both ends, where do they have a way to escape." Shen Nianyi analyzed the situation to her.
"I have ordered them to retreat as soon as they want, and the rest of the soldiers in the city are not allowed to pursue." Ningxia Shengzong rode side by side with them, "Poor Kou Mo chases, he is already about to die, there is no need to be desperate for them to win, and he will bite him to death." ”
His expression was more calm, Sun Shining secretly thought that only a leader like him would still strategize under the disadvantage of the avalanche, and thought that when he opened the secret door of the stone wall in the mountain, those soldiers were not in a hurry or impatient, and they were really like a general.
Ning Ningsheng only had a slight burning in his eyes, and whispered: "When this battle is won, I still have some important things to say to you." ”
Without waiting for them to reply, he pulled the reins and drove his mount forward at a rapid pace.
Heavy news came, first at the border gate, the wolf-like army of Shuntian had retreated completely in half an hour, and it was actually taking advantage of the time difference when they arrived to be able to attack back and forth.
"Among the enemy army, it can be seen that there are also high-ranking people." Shen Baisen said lightly.
"There must be other news to come." Shen Nianyi said conclusively, since the enemy army retreated, Ning Ningsheng took tens of thousands of horses and smoothly joined the people who were defending it.
Ah Song personally opened the city gate and came out to greet him, and when he saw General Ning at the front of the team, he burst into tears, fell to the ground on one knee, and replied: "Lu Song has never failed the general, lived up to Shen Zhengqing's trust, and did not back down half a point." ”
"Good, good." Ning Ningsheng personally dismounted and helped him up, "You have done an excellent job, Shen Zhengqing has already explained the process to me, and when I return to the camp, I will immediately present the military situation and send it to Tiandu City, so that the emperor can rest assured." ”
Ningxia Sheng was busy returning to the barracks and planning the overall situation, and Shen Nianyi invited him to take Sun Shining and his parents to live in the tent next to the barracks temporarily.
Shen Nianyi pulled out Que Yingjie's three hundred people again, and separated for a few days, those Empress Dowager's personal guards were all disgraced, and they no longer had the same vigor as when they left the city, but their eyes were more bright.
"Captain Que has worked hard." Shen Nian kept talking.
Que Yingjie also participated in the ceremony of opening the city gate to welcome the brigade, and it was a blood boiling that had not yet subsided: "Hard work should also be done, Shen Zhengqing knows that in the past few days, we have resisted the offensive of the Shuntian army many times!" ”
This person was obviously thin and black, and his hair was tied up in a mess, but Shen Nianyi felt that he looked closer than ever, and looked at him with a smile.
Que Yingjie couldn't suppress his excitement, and rearranged and combined the three hundred of them with Ah Song's group of people, without fear, and had to fight back those frantically attacking enemies again and again.
"Shen Zhengqing, this time is really a worthy trip This old saying, those people under my hands have said that after experiencing this in this life, it will be worth returning to the ordinary in the future, and it will be difficult to forget for a lifetime." Que Yingjie cautiously bowed to him, "Thank you Shen Zhengqing for giving us this opportunity." ”
"The enemy army has retreated, I'm afraid you haven't closed your eyes for days and nights, go back and have a good rest, everything will wait until you return to Tiandu City, and then you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." Shen Nianyi refused to accept his salute directly, and held his shoulder with one hand.
"No, let's not give a reward, this experience is already the best reward." Que Yingjie knew that they were also extremely tired in the mountains, so he spoke these few words, left happily, and said very politely, "Shen Zhengqing and his wife have a good rest, and the two virtuous couples are the ones who take the lead." ”
Sun Shining looked at the background where he left and chuckled: "It's only been a few days, and it seems to have changed as if he was a different person." ”
When I first saw him, Que Yingjie seemed to be a Tiandu City, and the gentlemen who could be seen everywhere were some real materials, but they still did not reduce their exaggeration, but they did not expect that such a hone in the army would become a sword out of the sheath.
"Therefore, the first emperor said that the best way to hone his temperament is to send it to the barracks, originally he wanted to send the second prince to the camp, but then General Ning was unwilling to be a stubble, and the second prince was framed again, and he was simply exiled from afar, and he has not come back yet.
"I think this Captain Que is afraid that he will become a very powerful person." Sun Shining listened to his words, not only to Shen Nianyi, but also to mention her, he was also very polite.
When a person achieves great things, he becomes more humble and can see the strengths of others, which is a precious progress.
"His foundation is good, and his family background is good, if it weren't for the fact that the situation was really critical this time, the Empress Dowager might not be willing to let him out, but this time, it will fulfill him." Shen Nianyi said thoughtfully, the emperor is young and has only just succeeded to the throne, and he needs such talents around him too much, Que Yingjie and the three hundred people under his hands are all the direct cronies of the Empress Dowager.
Since the Empress Dowager has decided to assist wholeheartedly, and she is the emperor's own grandmother, she naturally wants to take out the best and most appropriate around her, these people are already the emperor's most capable cadres, don't say that a Que Yingjie will become a very powerful person, as long as there is no dissent, everyone should be in an important position in the future.
The government and the opposition, or it has come to the time when it needs to be reshuffled, once the son of heaven and a courtier, this is the eternal truth.
"You get some rest first." Shen Nianyi brought in the hot water sent by the people below, "After freshening up, sleep well, those things that have been in my heart have been put on for so long, and they are not bad for a while." ”
Sun Shining knew that he couldn't hide his thoughts, so he lowered his head and said, "Even after seeing my mother-in-law, the doubts became more and more serious. ”
An Yantong knew a lot, but she avoided it, and she was clearly thinking about it, how to speak?
How many secrets are there that she doesn't know, the identities of the Shen couple are clearly there, if her mother is just an unknown junior, a village woman, how can Mrs. Shen be willing to marry her only son at will, and over the years, even if there is no whereabouts of their mother and daughter, she has never regretted her marriage.
That is to say, I have recognized this family business in my heart.
"Shining, don't think about stupid things that are right at home, my mother has never looked down on these things in her eyes." Shen Nianyi felt a little sorry for her, put his arm around her shoulder, and said softly, "Anyway, you just need to remember what I said to you, the men of the Shen family will not take concubines, they will only marry once in their lives, my father only marries my mother, and I only want you, heaven and earth, as long as you are alone!" ”
