Chapter 294: Tang Family Token (I)
"That, Miss Lu......" When Lu Jing walked by Nangong Jun's side, Nangong Jun deliberately stopped Lu Jing, "Actually, I want to ask something......
"Oh, dignified General Nangong, is there anything else you want to ask the little girl?" Lu Jing herself didn't have a good face for the people of the Nangong Murong family, even when she saw the upright Nangong Jun and Murong Fei, Lu Jing still asked in a not very polite tone.
"Miss Lu, I know that you have a prejudice against our family, and the same is true when you were in Bianliang......" Nangong Jun continued with a very kind appearance.
Lu Jing stopped behind Nangong Jun and was silent for a long time. After that, Lu Jing's eyes trembled a few times, as if the knot in her heart was difficult to calm down. Lu Jing shook her toes slightly, looked up at the upper corner of the side, and then responded softly: "You want to ask Linglong about it, right......?"
Lu Jing saw through Nangong Jun's thoughts, when she was in Bianliang City, Nangong Jun and Linglong had a relationship, this Lu Jing was very clear, although she didn't particularly approve of the relationship between the two. Now that Nangong Jun is on the expedition, and Linglong is also missing Asahi when she is alone in Lu Mansion, these Lu Jing also understands very well.
When Nangong Jun heard this, he was also silent for a long time, and he slowly responded: "Linglong she...... Are you alright?"
Lu Jing took a deep breath, there seemed to be a little tear in her eyes, and then she replied softly: "Of course she's fine, at least she's healthy, she's just thinking about it every day......"
Nangong Jun also knew in his heart that Linglong must miss himself day and night, and he himself was the same. Although he fought bravely on the battlefield, in the calm night, he would always think back to the Linglong who was waiting for him in Bianliang.
Nangong Jun was silent for a while. Then he said softly: "Miss Lu, thank you......"
"Don't see outside, like everyone else, you should call me 'Sister Jing' in the future......" Lu Jing withdrew the tears that had not yet flowed, and continued to carry Nangong Jun behind her back and said, "Linglong misses you very much in Bianliang...... You don't want to do anything when you're out and about, Linglong has been looking forward to the end of the war. Then you will be able to go back safely......"
After speaking, Lu Jing slowly took a few steps forward and did not speak to Nangong Jun again. Nangong Jun also stood in place for a long time. Lu Jing's sudden turn in the sentence, although it was Lu Jing's opinion of Nangong Jun's kinder than before, Nangong Jun's heart still couldn't calm down immediately......
didn't stay long in Yuxing City, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei led Tang Zhan and the others. With the common spring. Go out of the city to Zhu Yuanzhang's army base camp.
The base camp was one or twenty miles away from Yuxing City, and it took nearly two hours or so for everyone to return to the camp with the soldiers and prisoners of Yuxing City, during which they also climbed over the hills that were not too high.
After crossing the hills, the army came to a relatively wide outskirts. The topography is inconspicuously stepped from front to back, with plenty of space on each floor for troops to camp. Even if there is a sneak attack by the enemy, the army in the base camp can resist and counterattack with the help of its terrain, and it is indeed a very suitable location for setting up camp and stationing troops.
Walked down the mountain. When you come to the gate of the camp tent, you can hear the loud and orderly training sound in the base camp. You can feel the unyielding backbone of the soldiers who train the army. The operation of the various branches in the battalion is also in an orderly manner, and the division of troops and horses is also neat and full of flavor, which can reflect the incomparably strict appearance of the army. Indeed, only a well-disciplined army can win a battle for a long time, which still broadened the horizons of Tang Zhan, who entered the barracks for the first time......
And at the door of the camp tent on the highest floor, a person who seemed to be the commander of the general was standing at the head of the road, watching everything under the camp, quite with the momentum of "seeing the heroes", it seemed that he must be an unusual figure.
Chang Yuchun walked in front of the man, and then replied: "General Xu Da, the last general was ordered to capture Yuxing City in the middle of today, and the prefect of Yuxing City, Wuluo, took Toduo to commit suicide, captured 4,000 prisoners of war, 100 war horses, and two bronze cannons, and asked the general to order——"
"Thank you for your hard work, General Chang-" Xu Da also responded, "Today, General Chang Yuchun has taken the important pass of Yuxing City and made great contributions, and the marshal will definitely reward him!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, in fact, the last general can take the stubborn city in one night, and there are really high-ranking people to help him......," Chang Yuchun mentioned to Tang Zhan and the others behind, "And among these people, there are important people who know the secrets of the Tang family eighteen years ago, I believe that the marshal must want to meet him in person at this time——"
"Oh, does the marshal want to see it in person?" Xu Da hesitated, glanced at Tang Zhan and the others who were following Chang Yuchun behind him, thought for a while and said, "I understand, General Ben will ask the marshal for instructions, and you will wait for a while......"
Then, Xu Da turned around and entered the largest camp behind him - it seemed that it was the camp of Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang......
The atmosphere in the barracks is different from the outside, and every action of everyone must follow the military orders. If anyone acts without authorization and does not obey military orders, he is likely to be dealt with by military law. It is precisely because of this extremely tense atmosphere that Tang Zhan and the others, who have just arrived, did not have orders from the upper command, nor did they dare to make any moves, and they didn't even dare to say a word casually, and their whole hearts were about to rise to their throats......
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xu Da to turn around and leave the tent, and then said to Chang Yuchun: "The marshal has agreed, and he also specified that he especially wants to meet the person who knows the secrets of the Tang family." ”
"The last general understands-" Chang Yuchun agreed again, and then took Tang Zhan and the others into the largest camp in front.
The largest tent is really different from the others, although there are no luxurious furnishings inside, but the guards who escort it are solemn, and outsiders come in to see it, and they think that they have entered a hell prison. And in the position directly in front, a big man with extraordinary momentum and a sturdy body was sitting at the table, with a majestic posture of strategizing and commanding the whole army - he was Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of the rebel army, Tang Zhan and others finally saw the true face today.
The aura of the leader of the rebel army is really different from others, no matter who he is, when he sees Zhu Yuanzhang's majesty, he will unconsciously bow his head, and Tang Zhan and others are no exception.
And Tang Zhan is the person who stands at the forefront led by Chang Yuchun. Zhu Yuanzhang saw the pear flower gun behind him at a glance, and then asked in a calm voice: "You are the one who knows the secrets of the Tang family? If this is the case, you should also be a descendant of the Tang family, right?"
Tang Zhan was nervously stunned for a moment. Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang asking himself, Tang Zhan immediately took two steps forward, and responded at the meeting: "Back to the words of the marshal, I am Tang Zhan, a descendant of the Tang family, and the son of Tang Tianhui, a disciple of the Tang family. Ordered by his uncle Tang Xiaofeng, he used one or two tokens to join the marshal's account. I am willing to go to the battlefield with the marshal and kill Yidi—"
Tang Zhan said it sonorously, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw it. Some were overjoyed and said: "Oh, you are really a descendant of the Tang family? You just said that you brought the token of Xiaofeng Hero, is it true?" Zhu Yuanzhang bluntly said that Tang Zhan's uncle Tang Xiaofeng "Xiaofeng Hero", it seems that between Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang Xiaofeng. It's a deep friendship.
"It's true—" Tang Zhan continued. "Now there is a token left by my uncle Tang Xiaofeng to the marshal, and I hope the marshal will ......see it."
"Hurry up and submit it-" Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't wait to order, it seemed that he seemed to have a thirsty attitude towards Tang Zhan.
So, the guard beside him handed over the token presented by Tang Zhan. Those tokens were left by Tang Xiaofeng to Zhu Yuanzhang, and that day at Tang Zhan's house, Tang Zhan knew the truth about his life experience, and Tang Xiaofeng left the pear flower gun and those tokens, and inspired Tang Zhan to go north to join Zhu Yuanzhang. It was also at that time. Tang Zhan only began his journey north. And today, it has gone through a lot of difficulties. Tang Zhan finally met Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the token, he stood up and said, "Indeed, this is the words of the hero...... Hey, I think that at the beginning, when Ben Shuai was still a cloth cloth and grass people, he was chased and killed by the officers and soldiers of Mengyuan. Fortunately, there was a disciple of the Tang family who saved Ben Shuai at that time, and the person who saved his life was none other than Xiaofeng Daxia...... Now that I think about it, if I didn't have the grace of the Tang family at that time, how could I have the day when I would be Zhu Chongba's head?"
Tang Zhan and the others listened silently below, and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, they also knew that the matter of entering the army had basically been settled.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowed down, and then continued to say to Tang Zhan: "Your name is Tang Zhan, right? The letter said that you Tang Zhan want to join the tent of the commander and go out with the army. The kindness of the Tang family will never be forgotten, and the things that the heroes tell him will not dare to obey. And Ben Shuai also knows very well that the martial arts of the 'Tang Family Overlord Spear' are unique in the world, if you wait to enter the tent, it is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, so why have any doubts?"
Chang Yuchun thought of the scene of last night's attack on Yuxing City, and added: "Marshal, the person who attacked Yuxing City last night and captured Yuxing Prefect Wuluo and Todo was Tang Shaoxia, so it seems that he has also made a great contribution to the army——"
"Okay-" Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, and suddenly said excitedly, "The descendants of the Tang family are really extraordinary, and they have made great contributions when they first entered the army." Ben Shuai will officially crown you as the 'Pioneer General' now, and together with Xu Da and General Chang Yuchun, sit in the vanguard and kill Yi Di bravely!"
"Marshal Xie-" Tang Zhan saw that he had been named a "vanguard general", and immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop, and continued to say to Tang Zhan: "In addition, this marshal has given General Tang your 5,000 men and horses as the vanguard troops, and you will be commanded and dispatched by General Tang! General Chang, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with......
"Yes, Marshal, the last general will definitely complete the task!" Chang Yuchun also replied.
Tang Zhan saw that his identity suddenly "ascended from the earth to heaven", and he was a little uncomfortable. However, thinking that he still had something to do, Tang Zhan took the initiative to ask for instructions: "Marshal, there is still one thing ...... the last general."
"Speak-" Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly.
Tang Zhan continued to say bluntly: "The last general came this time, not just with his uncle's token. What's more, the last general brought the most important token of the Tang family that should have been presented to the marshal eighteen years ago——"
Sure enough, hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was different from just now. That is what Zhu Yuanzhang has been wanting for eighteen years, but eighteen years have passed without success. Now that Tang Zhan has spoken out, Zhu Yuanzhang can't believe it, "Is General Tang's words true?"
"It's true-" Tang Zhan replied affirmatively.
After Tang Zhan finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head, as if looking up to the sky and roaring. After being silent for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself with a sigh: "Eighteen years ago, the disciples of the Tang family threatened to give Ben Shuai a token, but he has not been whereabouts for a long time. Four years later, in the city of Haozhou, Chongba still took refuge in Guo Yifu...... This token has a plan to break the ground and the Northern Expedition, and Ben Shuai has always wanted to get it. How could it be that the war has not stopped for 14 years, and there has been no news of the token...... The token shown by General Tang today is really the will of heaven, if Ben Shuai can really get this token, Chongba will definitely live up to all beings in the world——"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke boldly, Tang Zhan thought about it, and took the initiative to ask Ying: "Marshal, the last general knows the location of the Tang family's tokens, and the last general is willing to lead his soldiers to go there to retrieve the Tang family's tokens and return to the camp afterwards." ”
"Okay, I'll leave all this to General Tang to deal with by himself-" Zhu Yuanzhang responded, and then couldn't help but sigh to himself, "I, Zhu Chongba, have had countless friendships with the Tang family for half of my life, and today the descendants of the Tang family are under my account, and the road to the Northern Expedition must be unhindered!"
After arranging affairs under the account, Tang Zhan naturally became a "vanguard general", with his own troops, and even jumped past Zhao Zichuan's position. But these are not the point, the point is that Tang Zhan's long-standing wish has finally come true today......
When he came to the camp he owned for the first time, Tang Zhan himself was not very comfortable, and the soldiers he dispatched were not very adaptable. After all, Tang Zhan was only eighteen years old, and letting an eighteen-year-old boy lead a thousand armies would make everyone have some doubts. However, fortunately, the two brothers Nangong Jun and Murong Fei had a very good relationship with Tang Zhan, and after Chang Yuchun knew about this matter, he directly enshrined the two generals with Tang Zhan. Under the patient mediation of Nangong Jun and Murong Fei, the soldier brothers under the tent also began to try to believe the eighteen-year-old descendant of the Tang family in front of them......
Tang Zhan sat in his tent, wearing the armor he wore for the first time, although he looked majestic, he was a little uncomfortable no matter how he said it.
At this moment, Lu Jing, who was also wearing silver and white armor, also walked into the tent, Tang Zhan saw Lu Jing's appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Jing'er, you are wearing this dress, you really have a bit of a feminine flavor——"
Lu Jing also smiled back lightly: "Okay, now I am in the barracks, and I can't be like the original hippie smile every day in the future......"
"I know that it's just the first time I've entered the camp, and I'm extremely excited......" Tang Zhan replied first, and then thought of Zhao Zichuan's situation, so he asked again, "By the way, Brother Zichuan, how are they?"
Lu Jing responded: "Zhao Zichuan is okay, he was named 'Flying Cavalry General' by General Chang, and he can be regarded as able to sit side by side with the two brothers Nangong Jun ......and Murong Fei; They're still centurions, but I'm sure it won't be long before they move up......"
"It would be nice if that was the case......" Tang Zhan first sighed, and then said, "Then what position are you?"
Who knows, Lu Jing looked a little arrogant at this time, patted Tang Zhan on the shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile: "Why, the marshal gave you such a big position, just with your stupid brain, you really want to lead thousands of armies?" Since Jing'er is by your side, of course she is a fool of your military advisor." As for the staff officers around Jing'er, aren't there still Lao Jiu and them......"
"That's right, Lao Jiu and their brothers from the 'Tang Ying Society' are also here. Because Jing'er's words are broken, they can be regarded as finding their own way......" thought about it, and then said, "By the way, Jing'er, I asked the marshal for instructions just now, and I want to go back to Wangjia Village today to retrieve the Tangmen family, that is, the token left by my mother eighteen years ago...... By the way, I also want to see my grandfather and the villagers of Wangjia Village again...... Jing'er, would you like to accompany me on a trip?"
When Lu Jing heard this, she pinched Tang Zhan's face, and said with a smile: "What do you say? Fool, no matter where you go, Jing'er will follow you, won't you? When you go back to Wangjia Village tomorrow, who else will go with you?"
"Just Jing'er, you ...... alone" Tang Zhan looked at Lu Jing's still watery eyes, and said gently, "I still have to go to my mother's grave to take another look, and...... I think these days, I suddenly found that Jing'er you ...... The one who knows my mother's mind the most......"
"Fool ......" Hearing Tang Zhan say this, Lu Jing couldn't help but blush and sighed...... (To be continued......)
