The soldiers who went to Lingnan City to deliver the letter came back and reported that Wang Mingzhi agreed to the request for additional troops. When Ling Yun heard the news, he was suddenly calm and did not have much emotional fluctuations. The expression on his face changed very little.
It was as if this news was something he had expected and had already expected.
In fact, when he learned that the reinforcements sent by Wang Mingzhi were the most courageous Black Tiger Army in the Lingnan Army, Ling Yun was slightly stunned, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes, but he was only slightly shocked.
Next, when the soldier said that Wang Mingzhi personally led the army and came to Tujia Fort with the Black Tiger Army, Ling Yun's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. He no longer had the composure he had at the beginning. He was so surprised that he couldn't help but jump from his stool.
Jump up.
"You...what did you say?"
Ling Yun's eyes were like fire, staring at the soldiers who were reporting below. At this moment, he couldn't wait to know whether what he just heard was due to auditory hallucinations, causing him to mishear.
Soldier Mo Kaiyu's body trembled, he slowly raised his head, and glanced at Ling Yun nervously. At this moment, his trembling body was enough to prove that he was frightened by Ling Yun's actions. He paused for a long time before calming down, and said with a slight hesitation, "Sir
, my subordinates... are saying that this increase in troops was led by the governor himself..."
"coax!"
Hearing this, Ling Yun's mind was shocked again. Under the shock, he opened his mouth so wide that he could put down a goose egg. He was stunned for a moment, and then swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, his throat seemed to be dry.
, shocked eyes, full of disbelief.
Ling Yun tried hard to calm down, but his shocked heart was beating so hard that he couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart. He could only grit his teeth and calm down, and said calmly, "Seriously?"
Mo Kaiyu did not dare to be distracted and said seriously every word, "Sir, what I said is absolutely true!"
"Hmm~ Okay! I understand."
After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem, Ling Yun was shocked again and asked the soldiers to retreat.
He paused in his seat for a long time, and then immediately summoned the military officers above the battalion commander level, all wearing military armor, to wait together at the intersection of Liujiacun.
After waiting for nearly half an hour in Liujiacun, they finally arrived at the Black Tiger Army, led by none other than Mo Shaobai.
When Mo Shaobai saw someone in front of him, he raised his right hand to signal the army to stop, and then clamped his feet hard. The horse felt pain and subconsciously moved forward. Under Ling Yun's gaze, he found a general holding the reins in his right hand in front of him.
Walk towards them leisurely.
Ling Yun could see from the visitor's officer uniform that he was a fourth-grade military attache with an official position matching him. To show enough respect, he was about to bow his hands in salute, but he never expected to be beaten to the punch by the visitor.
I saw Mo Shaobai holding the reins of the horse, turning his head to look at the Nanyi Army led by Ling Yun expressionlessly, and asked with an interrogator's expression on his face, "Who are you?"
Because the two men had the same official position, and in Daqian, a junior officer with the same official rank was higher than a military attaché, so Ling Yun did not feel afraid of him. He only took a step forward, with a stern face, and said in return, "I am Ling Yun.
,I don’t know who I am?”
In fact, Mo Shaobai knew with a high probability that the person standing in front of him was Ling Yun, because when he came, he was fully prepared. However, when he heard that Ling Yun was a civil servant and could lead 20,000 troops to capture Tujia Fort, he still
I couldn't help but feel jealous.
Of course, Mo Shaobai did not think that the capture of Tujia Fort was due to Ling Yun, nor did he admit that he was the leader of the army. Deep down, he felt that even another person could have done it, so he acquiesced in his heart and felt that it was only Ling Yun who led the army well.
But he just got lucky and got a big deal.
"Huh!"
Hearing Ling Yun announce his family status, Mo Shaobai secretly said that it was indeed as he expected, but he pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that this step...is the governor of Nanyi Province?"
"That's right, it's me!"
Ling Yun's response was neither arrogant nor humble, his face remained calm, and even smelled of gunpowder, which proved that he was unhappy with the visitor's behavior.
If you are interested, you can find that the smile at the corner of Ling Yun's mouth has gradually disappeared. When he looked up at Mo Shaobai again, his welcoming eyes at first turned into a look. During the look, he became a little more careful, although he still grinned.
He smiled, but his deep eyes obviously changed his mood.
In an instant, Ling Yun and Mo Shaobai were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
When Mo Shaobai discovered Ling Yun's change, his heart skipped a beat. He put on a show, his intention was to give Ling Yun a show of strength, and to let him know that he was the commander of the Black Tiger Army, not the other cats and dogs who wanted him to
Show yourself some respect.
But according to what he discovered, Ling Yun was not easy to control, because when he looked at Ling Yun again, he found that the corners of his mouth were still holding the news, and his eyebrows were slightly drooped, with a hint of sarcasm... In just a moment, Mo Shaobai began to waver and doubted whether he had done it.
wrong.
Then he thought about it, he was the governor above him, and even though Ling Yun didn't like him, he couldn't stand him. As a result, the gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he still said in a tone that was neither salty nor light, "Master Ling, I'm sorry
Shaobai, the commander of the Black Tiger Army, is here to reinforce you on the order of the governor."
Mo Shaobai announced his identity, but did not dismount. He remained condescending and spoke with a bird's-eye view, all showing his arrogance and disrespect for Ling Yun.
Although Ling Yun was a little surprised by his behavior, the two of them were at the same level in terms of official status, so there was nothing wrong with him, so he just smiled and said nothing.
But the generals behind him couldn't sit still. The original generals of the Lingnan Army were fine. After all, Mo Shaobai's name represented the strongest Black Tiger Army in the Lingnan Army, so in their minds, they were more or less in awe.
heart of.
Zhang Wu, Guo Yixiu and others were different. A small commander actually spoke to Ling Yun in such a tone. Even if he was a fourth-grade military attache, they couldn't stand it.
Guo Yixiu wanted to stand up, but Ling Yun saw it and immediately signaled them not to act rashly.
Under Ling Yun's suppression, everyone's anger gradually disappeared...
Mo Shaobai looked at the scene in front of him. He could suppress the generals behind him with just a gesture. He couldn't help but feel surprised. He even changed his mind towards Ling Yun. However, he would not bow his head easily. He just said lightly, "Master Ling."
, the governor will be here soon, so don’t lose your rules.”
Ling Yun slightly cupped his hands and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, General Mo, for reminding me!"
"It's good to know."
Mo Shaobai just replied lukewarmly, then turned around, whipped his horse, and ran towards the army. Apparently he was going to find Wang Mingzhi.
"Master Yun, that guy is too bullying..."
"Commander, Mo Shaobai is really..."
Ling Yun waved his hand and stopped him, "Okay, you guys... I understand what I said, so be patient and don't be impatient. Now it's us who have something to ask for from others, and it's okay for others to be aloof."
Although he felt unhappy, he really did not do anything wrong. The two men had the same official position. As for whether to dismount or not, it was his freedom, and he would not yell at others.
But is the reality really as Ling Yun said?
It's hard to say, compared to Ling Yun's gentleman's character of revenge, which is never too late after ten years, he is not a person who suffers losses.
