Chapter 109: Take the girl on an expedition(1/2)
This time, the mission of the navy soldiers escorted the Jiangnan Weaver Mansion cargo ship to Chang'an was simply not easier. They even had time to walk around Chang'an City and looked at it, feeling that their knowledge had been improved to a higher level.
For Chen Leng, returning to the Navy Camp is not the end of the mission, but it will be the only way to pass Zhuang Yong's level.
In front of everyone, Chen Leng pushed a single-wheeled wooden cart outside Zhuang Yong's military tent. The single-wheeled wooden cart was equipped with seven or eight jars of a cup of throat brought back from the northern border. He actually didn't like the liquor Zhuang Yong very much. He liked the softness of rice wine.
Most people in the northern part of Daning drink sorghum wine, especially the freshly produced wine, which is even more squeaky. Ordinary people can get their heads in one sip. However, people in the southern part of Daning prefer to drink rice wine, which is a little sweeter.
Since Chen Leng knew that Zhuang Yong didn't like drinking strong wine, why did he give it to him? First, it was his attitude, and the second was a proof that he did go to northern Xinjiang.
After sorting out his clothes, Chen Leng waited outside the door for the personal soldiers to come in and report. Soon after, the personal soldiers came out to let Chen Leng in. Looking at Chen Leng's eyes, he looked like a smile. Chen Leng knew that things were not good.
"Ahem..."
After entering the military tent, Chen Leng coughed twice awkwardly, and then stood up and saluted: "See General."
Zhuang Yong was handling military affairs and did not look up: "Are you here to report to me about the cargo ship escorting Jiangnan Weaving Mansion? If so, go back. There is nothing to care about in this mission."
Chen Leng became even more awkward.
"No, no... I just came here to give me a gift."
Chen Leng pointed to the wine outside: "The general must not like to drink it if he brought it back from the northern border."
Zhuang Yong: "..."
He hung the pen in his hand on the pen holder, raised his head and squinted his eyes: "Sir, the Captain, have you taken the time to go to the northern border? It's so hard, and you have to work hard every day."
Chen Leng: "The daily basis is thousands of miles."
"Um?"
"No, no... General, I was wrong."
Chen Leng lowered his head: "I really know I'm wrong."
Zhuang Yong sneered: "Wrong? He successfully escorted the cargo ship from Jiangnan Weaving Mansion to Chang'an. He did it thoughtfully and safely along the way. Why can't I see where you were wrong?"
Chen Leng leaned forward and said, "This matter is a long story."
"Stop back!"
"oh......"
Chen Leng stood back, lowered his head and looked at his feet.
"Go and close the door and bring the wine in first!"
"Yes, yes."
He moved the jars of wine outside and placed them in the corner of the military tent, then turned around and put them down the thick curtains of the military tent and closed the door. Then he walked back and lowered his voice and said, "The general asked me to close the door. Do you have any secrets to tell my subordinates?"
Zhuang Yong: "Get out."
Chen Leng said with a smile: "Actually, the general knows that his subordinates are involuntarily..."
He felt that he was really flattering to smile. This skill can be released 70% in front of Zhuang Yong, 80% in front of the gentleman, and 100% in front of the Cha Ye.
"What the hell is to explain it clearly."
Zhuang Yong sat upright.
Chen Lengxin said, General, you are still curious... Otherwise, try the routine of paying money first when listening to the story?
I thought about it and let it go.
He explained this trip to the northern border in more detail. Even the matter of breaking the county magistrate's uniform and burning the prince's manor in Dongchi County was not omitted. He didn't use many words, but everything was explained clearly enough. The key point was of course the matter in the northern border, and the matter behind these things was the top priority.
"I think that Your Majesty seems to be trying to hit some of the great ministers in the army."
"Don't randomly understand the holy intention."
Zhuang Yong pondered for a while, his eyes became a little vague... Chen Leng was actually very happy when talking about the removal of Pei Xiao in the northern border. He was very happy. Back then, he led his troops to fight at Feng Yantai, and his subordinate Li Yong went into battle with dozens of arrows and still had bloody battles. If they had not dragged the black warriors' team at Feng Yantai, Tie Liuli would not have taken the elite cavalry around the back and chopped the knife hard.
But Li Yong's military achievements were taken away by Pei Xiao in that battle. He mentioned this matter to His Majesty more than once, but His Majesty did not express his opinion... Zhuang Yong knew what Pei Tingshan had done, and submitted memorials in succession to guarantee that Pei Xiao would not do anything that violated the French laws of the army. This was forcing His Majesty.
Now that Pei Xiao is dead, he is also an explanation to Li Yong.
The most important thing is the change in His Majesty's attitude.
That battle was the second year of Tiancheng in Daning, which was the second year of His Majesty's ascendance... At that time, His Majesty's control over the court was far less powerful than that now, and he cared about the attitude towards those generals. Pei Tingshan had just brought nine thousand swords back to Dongjiang from Chang'an City. In that case, how could His Majesty not take care of Pei Tingshan's emotions?
That was the most important time... Your Majesty could not ignore the support of the military. Mu Zhaotong had not given up at that time. The civil servant led by him was very intriguing. If Your Majesty lost the first battle against the black warriors after he ascended the top, the situation at that time might have been worse.
Therefore, Your Majesty had to sacrifice a man like Li Yong for stronger support from Pei Tingshan and others.
But that is all over. If anyone still feels that he can influence him, he is seeking death.
Pei Tingshan has not yet understood this truth. Pei Xiao is the thorn that is stuck in His Majesty's heart. When His Majesty was young, he had always had clear rewards and punishments, so he was supported by all the generals of the army. Pei Xiao's thorn has been stuck in His Majesty's heart for more than ten years. His Majesty can tolerate him until now because of Pei Tingshan's great achievements back then.
After listening to Chen Leng's narration, Zhuang Yong was silent for a long time. Chen Leng stood quietly and did not make any sound. He knew that Zhuang Yong needed to calm down and straighten up many things at this time, and he stood here to treat himself as air.
After a long time, Zhuang Yong let out a long breath.
"Chen Leng, remember, you caught up with a good time."
He suddenly said this.
Chen Lengku immediately understood.
Yes, a good time.
The heroes are already old and are the best time for young people to fight for.
“There’s one thing you may not know yet.”
Zhuang Yong glanced at Chen Leng: "Although the decree has not arrived yet, I have received the news. Your Majesty remembers your achievements in going south to the seashore and safely escorted the cargo ship to Chang'an City. During his time in Chang'an City, he received personal guidance and recommendation from the old dean of Yanta Academy. Therefore, you should be recommended as the fifth-rank General Yongyi. If nothing unexpected happens, the decree will be sent to the navy in the past few days, and your medal position will be promoted to the seven-turn light chariot commander."
Chen Leng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Why are you so proud?"
Zhuang Yong was confused: "You are not such a voluntary person."
Chen sneered and drooled: "Fifth grade, fifth grade, fifth grade!"
Zhuang Yong: "So what about the fifth rank?"
"You can bring your family!"
Chen Leng replied in a very righteous manner: "Take, family, and favor!"
Zhuang Yong then reacted and his face sank: "Did you really think that after the fifth grade, this general will give you a separate courtyard in your navy camp, so that you can hide the beauty in the golden house?"
Chen Leng shook his head: "Of course I am not thinking about this. What I am thinking about is that no matter where the navy goes, I can take her with me rightfully no matter where the navy goes."
Zhuang Yong sighed: "I have led the army for decades, and you are the first to be so presumptuous in front of me... You are not happy about your Majesty's favor, but that you can bring your female family members."
Chen Leng: "Hehe... I have lost my composure, I have lost my composure."
Zhuang Yong glared at him: "A person loses his composure when he is proud, and he easily collapses when he is frustrated, which means that you are not a really capable person. If I see you again next time, Your Majesty's will can promote you to the fifth grade. I will also have the right to lower your fifth grade in a while."
Chen Leng quickly lowered his head: "I will remember it."
"Can you really remember?"
"able!"
"You haven't even wiped your saliva yet."
"Well......"
"Go back and take a rest for two days. If the decree comes, I will send someone to call you back...what else do you have to say?"
"I would like to ask the general to approve the general and the general commander Yang Qibao, the deputy of the team, and the subordinate Gu Le, to his subordinate, to his subordinate Xiabiao camp."
"Um?"
Zhuang Yong's eyes couldn't help but narrowed again: "Are you going to take down the general's army? "
Chen Leng said seriously: "General Qi Zhuo, they brought it to him by themselves, and it is a surrender..."
"surrender......"
Zhuang Yong sighed: "Before Your Majesty's decree is delivered, I think you should do all the punishments you have accumulated so many times before but have not been punished."
Chen Leng was puzzled: "What's wrong with my subordinates?"
"You...you don't pay it back."
"this......"
Chen Leng looked frightened: "Didn't the general say last time that he doesn't need to mention it?"
Zhuang Yong: "Get home... wait, let me give Chen Xiaosong a sentence... Let him be more careful. This sentence is enough. He understands what it means."
Chen Leng stood solemnly: "I understand."
After coming out of Zhuang Yong's military tent, Chen Leng breathed a sigh of relief, then jumped up and waved his arms!
I'm going home and finally able to go home.
First, he went back to his barracks to arrange military affairs. Chen Leng took Chen Ran home. Not long after he entered the town, a black dog rushed out of the alley. It was not like a dog. It was like a black-haired lion. I haven't seen the little black dog so big in just a few months, and it grew much faster than the ordinary dog, the Shiba Dog.
It's only half a year old. What if I'm completely grown up?
