Chapter 398 General's affairs

"If Zhao Sui was born in a chaotic world, he would be a hero. He would not be embarrassed to be named a marquis and beloved. It's a pity..." Yang Ling stood on the sand dunes, looking at the rolling river waters eastward and sighed.

The river is lingering and surging eastward. The rolling blue waves have wiped out all traces. Kings, princes, generals, and wild grasslands have only turned into nothingness as the passage of time. Perhaps only this world, only this mountain, river, and river are eternal existence.

"It's not bad. A real man lives in the world. Those who seek to make achievements and those who seek to make achievements will be celebrated throughout the ages. Zhao Shui seeks benevolence and gains benevolence. Although his achievements have not been achieved, he is also the most famous hero in the past hundred years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It is enough to be recorded in historical books and has been famous throughout the ages."

Ma Lian'er snuggled beside him and said softly: "There are also the Hongmao who crossed the river. Although they are all enemies of your husband, it is undeniable that they are all amazing heroes. Unfortunately, they are not lucky. Otherwise, I would think that Hongmao is even more powerful than Tang Sai'er back then." There was an unconcealed appreciation in her eyes.

As soon as she mentioned Hong Niangzi, Yang Ling's face became gloomy.

Lian'er is fine, and it was Hong Niang who took charge of the matter. Yang Ling's hatred for Hong Niang was gone, but she went further and deeper on the road of rebellion. If she could catch her in the past, Yang Ling thought she could still excuse her, but now she has obviously become the leader of the rebels. How can the serious crime of the Nine Clans be borne by her?

Not only can't afford it, but he even wants to be the one who punished her personally. How can this make people feel sorry for? Yang Ling was worried and didn't want to think about these troubles anymore. He took Lian'er's little hand, walked slowly down the sand dune, and rolled down a green grass growing on the sand dune. Yang Ling asked casually: "She... didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Ma Lian'er smiled slightly and said softly: "No, when the two armies fight, thousands of people will die at any time. They are taking cities and seeking victory or defeat. How can she kill a little girl? Zhao Crazy Zi, Hong Madam is a thief in the country, not a thief in cutting the path, how could she do such boring things?

Moreover, the Red Lady still maintains the heroic spirit of the people and land in the green forest. I fought with her in the city of Jinling. In addition to her close-up skills, she was considered to be similar to chess and drums. She should be a bit... sympathetic, and your wife is well-behaved and pleasing, and she can tell me a little. When she is happy, she let me go."

Although Yang Ling was full of thoughts, she still smiled happily. Holding her hand tightened, she whispered: "Liang'er, I tortured me to death last night. I stood in the yard, thinking about all kinds of unbearable situations. I was worried that you would be humiliated and killed. If I didn't raise troops to encircle them in the early morning, but would have to last for another three or five days, my husband's hair would have turned white."

Ma Lian'er shook his hand and couldn't help but use some strength: "When he was captured, I didn't think so much, and I thought: 'This time I'm over, I'm going to die. My unscrupulous man was busy and didn't care about looking at me. He couldn't even see him even if he wanted to see him. Then... I don't know how long he would remember me and whether he would completely forget Lian'er. When I thought about this, I felt so sad."

Yang Ling couldn't help but hold her slender waist tightly and said softly: "Liang'er, my husband will never let you go again. This time, I will definitely take you back to the capital." Ma Lian'er raised her face and looked at him with bright eyes.

The tender wrist was tied up with a little red and swollen, and it was a little painful when held in Yang Ling's slightly sweaty palm, but at the same time, a warm feeling spread from his wrist to the tip of his heart, making his heart tremble and warm. I wanted to tease and complain about Yang Ling again and rushed to my mouth, and it suddenly melted on the tip of my tongue. All that remained in my eyes was happiness, satisfaction and joy.

She had been in love with Yang Ling and had been together for a long time. Now that her daughter has been babbling and speaking, she can truly reunite. The long-term lovesickness has finally been rewarded. How could she not be excited?

Xu Tai hurriedly came up, Ma Lian'er's pretty face turned slightly red and left Yang Ling's arms. She was too heartbroken, and only then did she save herself from being in front of thousands of officers and soldiers, and she should not be too close to her husband.

Yang Ling looked at her with an interesting look: "This little girl is much more steady as a wife and a mother, and she is no longer the arrogant and proud little girl she used to be."

He turned to Xu Tai and said, "What's the situation?"

Xu Tai bowed and said, "The battlefield was in chaos because of the killing of a group of people. Now the people are still gathering together. Zhao Caizi tightly protected the floating bridge and covered the river with about 5,000 horses. Liu Hui escaped from Phoenix Ridge and was wiped out. Now Hongniang can no longer cause any major storms."

"Well, what's the situation with Yang Hu's remnant army?"

"Since the 20,000 Yang Hu's army was divided and encircled by officers and soldiers. Now only Li Yeyin is still intact. However, he was trapped on the Golden Ridge. The battle report he just sent by the Pegasus, Li Yeyin broke through the siege three times and went down the mountain, and was driven back. Now three officers and soldiers are gathering teams to rush to the Golden Ridge to strengthen their attacks. They will definitely be wiped out today.

Only those white-clothed bandits who fled were more troublesome. They were a group of 100 people, and about ten white-clothed bandits were wandering around aimlessly. The Nanjing Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice ordered local governments, inspection departments, regiment training and other groups to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the officers and soldiers. All they need now is time."

Yang Ling nodded, and Xu Tai said again: "Duke, can we send people across the river now to pursue the remnants of Hongniangzi's troops?"

Yang Ling said: "Now they have built a bridge and crossed the troops again. They have already run a hundred miles away, but they still chased them all over Henan. It is not advisable to blindly chase them without understanding their direction."

When Ma Lian'er heard this, she suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "I...I have never heard a word in the Mongol Detachment Army. Perhaps... it is related to their whereabouts..."

Yang Ling and Xu Tai both looked moved, and Yang Ling hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Lian'er said: "I was imprisoned in the Mongol Detachment Army. I once saw the leader who was shot and injured by me to come to find Mongol. He walked all the way, talking to himself and mentioned Shaanxi and Shangluo..."

Xu Tai excitedly punched his fist and said, "Duke, Miss Ma said it must be. When analyzing the places they might have captured in Henan, we have judged that they would choose Guanzhong. There was Dasan Pass in the west of Guanzhong, Hangu Pass in the east, Wu Pass in the north, Wu Pass in the south, and can be called a country with four barriers. One man is the pass, and tens of thousands of men cannot open. At that time, the Maitreya Rebellion was also the first choice for Shaanxi.

But we didn't expect that Zhao Crazy Man would live up to his reputation and actually took the risk of speculation to attack Jinling. Now that he failed to capture Jinling, he went west to Shaanxi, and dealt with the officers and soldiers in Congshan, Xu Tu's plan was their only choice. After confirming with Miss Ma's words, it seems that they must have escaped to Shaanxi this time."

"Shaanxi?" Yang Ling didn't say anything. He paced gently, thought for a moment, then asked Lian'er in detail about the situation at that time, and then gently tapped the armor on his knee with a horse whip, falling into deep thought.

Jiangnan cannot gain a foothold, so it is very likely to develop in Xutu, Shaanxi. Among these rogue horse thieves, there are many rude bandits. They talked in the street when they were in Pingyuan County, Shandong. They unscrupulously revealed the march route to the two refugees. Yesterday, they were in Zhaosui's military camp after the defeat. The news that Lian'er accidentally heard should be true, but the problem is that Zhaosui was still there at that time.

Now the capital of the three brothers of Zhao has been found, and all the generals who are determined to conquer the country have been buried on the edge of the Yangtze River. Cui Ying'er simply wants to use the power of the rebels to avenge her father. She has no ambition to win the world. Now she has avenged her great revenge, so what else can she do in Shaanxi? Will she return to Hebei and escape into the Taihang Mountains to become a bandit again? Her greatest ambition... is just to be a bandit in the land of revenge."

"Duke, relying on his humble position, this news should be true, and the direction of Shaanxi should be immediately laid out."

"Um? Um!" Yang Ling woke up and said with his eyes flashing: "Then, inform the Shaanxi garrison to set up strict defenses at all passes. The Henan garrison is responsible for mobile encirclement and suppression. Going north... it has to be prevented. Notify the Hebei garrison to pay close attention to prevent returning north. The focus... is on the Western Front."

"Yes!" Xu Tai immediately bowed his hands and obeyed the order. Yang Ling looked at him and said, "The news is sent out immediately. I guess our Eunuch Miao, who heard that the white-clothed army had to come and cry to me. Alas! Lao Miao... was mistaken again and again. This order was passed directly to him, telling him not to come, and to make up for the merits and be responsible for Henan's defense on the spot."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Let's go back to Nanjing first, and the Jiangdong victory will be victorious. All the troops have made contributions and demerits. The rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished, otherwise who will still use their lives for it in the future?"

When Xu Tai heard this, he was overjoyed. He did not make any contribution to the suppression of bandits in Zhongtiao Mountain. He was scolded by Emperor Zhengde. This time, the White-clothed Army and the main force of the Xiangma Thieves were wiped out. He only went all the way to defeat the troops. It was a great victory. The Duke of the State wanted to ask for an order to reward him, and his contribution was inevitable.

Xu Taixing retreated from the purging team and went to Lian'er, "Let's go home, if you don't have you, I will nod, Pan'er even calls me father."

When Ma Lian'er heard this, she laughed, looked at him proudly, and said angrily: "I deserve it. I told you to leave my mother and son for so long, and ignore me."

Yang Ling smiled, walked down the sand dune and took the reins from his personal soldiers, and sat in a position of invitation to Ma Lian'er. Ma Lian'er felt sweet, smiled at him and got on the horse gracefully.

Yang Ling also got on the horse, then turned to look at Jiangbei, and the smile on his face disappeared. He sighed softly and said lonely: "Ying'er, I don't want to kill you, I can't bear to kill you, but now things have come to this point, what reason do you ask me to save you? What I can do now is not to chase you with my own hands. If you can escape back to the mountains, then you can do it yourself."

His eyes looked south along the river. There was another man there who wanted to kill but could not kill: "King Ning sent a central official to the capital to move frequently recently. He also used the White-Clothed Army Rebellion to control the military power of Jiangxi. He must have arranged many confidants during this period. It seems that King Ning is no longer willing to be lonely, but I don't know when he will give me a reason to kill him.

This time when I arrived in Jiangnan, taking advantage of the gathering of the three provinces in Nanjing, I had to sort out and make some adjustments to the military deployment of Nanzhili and the appointment and removal of generals on the grounds of military merits and rewards. The White-clothed Army Rebellion has overwhelmed the court. I have known that King Ning must rebel for a long time, and I must prepare for it early."

"Hey. Are you leaving?"

Yang Ling, who was thinking, looked at him when he heard the sound and saw Ma Lian'er riding on the horse, looking at him shyly and timidly, with a charming expression and charming look. Yang Ling felt aroused in his heart. He let go of his worries for the time being and ran over briskly.

Ma Lian'er smiled sweetly. He raised his whip, brimmed with his horses, and galloped briskly along the grassy path on the river bank.

"My son will leave too. When you return to Beijing and meet the young lady, that boy will be very happy. Xueer is also pregnant. Oh, when you see that you are only sixteen or seventeen years old. You are still a child, you have a child. I always feel strange in my heart."

He was really exhausted. As soon as he returned to the mansion, Yang Ling took a shower and changed his clothes. He lay on Lian'er's soft couch and fell asleep without saying a few words. He woke up until now and felt relieved. He saw that Lian'er had already gotten up at some point, so he spoke to her with his arm.

"What's so weird? Who wouldn't have a baby at 16 or 17? If you don't get pregnant after Double Ten, you'll have to be anxious. Your thoughts are really weird." Lian'er was wearing a snow-white gauze-backed nightgown, busy at the table while replying with a smile.

She clapped her hands and said, "Okay, let's get up after you have rested. I know you're tired too and haven't made any greasy things, a few light side dishes, and some snacks of tea. You can eat some first. It's late at night. I'll serve the master tomorrow."

"It's midnight?" Yang Ling sat up and yawned, "It's still bright when I came back. I can really sleep. Haha, I wanted to see Pan'er again. After coaxing for a long time, I gave her all the things I could do, but I still refused to call her dad. Do you don't teach her normally?"

Ma Lian'er gave him a blank look and said angrily: "Who did you tell her to call? Girls, I'm more shy. I haven't seen you before, so Pan'er often asked me about you. When I first saw you, I'm just a little afraid of having sex."

Yang Ling walked to the table, Ma Lian'er lifted up the exquisite porcelain plate cover bowl, poured him a cup of sugar tea with honey, and sat quietly beside him, holding his chin, and looking at him with bright and charming eyes gently.

On the round table of rosewood, there was a gauze lamp, a celadon lampstand as gentle as jade, a crimson gauze lampshade, and a bright and soft light sprinkled on her pretty face, with a hazy halo.

In this inner room, there are all kinds of stools, chairs, cabinets, beds, trellis, and screens. They are all exquisite. The materials are made of pure rosewood, rosewood, and mahogany, exuding a noble temperament. The shape is heavy and thick, generous and beautiful, and exquisite and exquisite. It is more ancient and customary, and looks auspicious and noble, rich and elegant.

The red sandalwood screen divides the inner room into several parts, making it look tortuous and seductive. You can see the dressing table behind the screen at the round table. On one side of the dressing table, the wall of the red sandalwood panel carved on all sides embeds a large six-foot bronze mirror in the middle. The light is clear and bright, and the light can shine on people, reflecting the figures of the two.

"The officials of the six ministries of Nanjing, the eunuchs in the garrison, and the local generals from Huguang, Zhejiang, and Nanjing all went to the commander's yamen to pay their respects. Your personal soldiers said that you were extremely tired and sent out first. You can go back to the yamen to meet you tomorrow."

Yang Ling picked up a piece of snack and said stunned when he heard this: "I didn't go back to the yamen at all, what are they going to pay homage to?"

Ma Lian'er held her cheeks and said with a smile: "You recognize me in front of the army. It's already the city of storms. Those officials are smart. Who doesn't know that you will be here? Going to command the yamen, you are pretending to be confused. Who is so blind to me? He just doesn't want to lose his etiquette after going there, so he doesn't have to take it too seriously."

Seeing that Yang Ling had almost finished eating, Lian'er picked up a silver sticky stick, tied up the peeled lychees, handed them to him, and said gently: "When will General Yang pick me up to Beijing?"

Yang Ling didn't answer, and opened his mouth and bit it in his mouth. With a slight bite, the juice splashed open, and the coolness was filled with a hint of sweetness. He stretched his waist and said vaguely: "Don't hurry this."

Ma Lian'er's eyebrows suddenly stood up, but Yang Ling said again: "I have to stay in Nanjing for a while. The white-clothed army has suffered this setback and can no longer cause trouble. I am in Nanjing, but there is another major event to arrange. Well... personnel arrangements are the most troublesome. It takes ten days and half a month before we can go back together."

Ma Lian'er then felt relieved and covered her mouth and chuckled, "I know. You are too careful in doing things. It's not enough to make up wherever you go. You have to re-arrange it and make rectifications while the chaos is being done. Are you going to adjust the official? I said, what are you doing when you run back with a rat head and a toad eye?"

Yang Ling frowned slightly and said, "Brother has fought well in these battles and has made great contributions to defending Nanjing. He is not allowed to avoid relatives. It is indispensable for him, but... he should not expect too much, and Zhou De'an's position cannot be given to him."

He sighed softly and said, "Although Zhou De'an's personal morality is poor, he is a brave general. He is dead. I will arrange the position of Nanjing Military Preparatory Chief, and tell my brother not to be unhappy. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Although he is good at fighting, he does not have the ability to control the overall situation. One day, he will understand my kindness."

Ma Lian'er curled her lips and said, "If you say it, I will ignore it. Now it is enough to be glorious. I don't want to rely on you to make him soar. It's my brother's merit. Don't avoid it. If it's not his profit, you don't need to take special care of him. My brother, you can't be abusive."

Ma Lian'er smiled sweetly, and she couldn't tell the touching smile. She was wearing a light Luo Wanchang, with her charming figure, and her hair was flowing down like black jade, giving off a delicate and charming face. The crystal clear skin was covered with a layer of seductive red light under the light. A kind of soft and weird sexiness flowed out from her eyebrows, her eyes, and her orchid-like fingertips.

Yang Ling couldn't help but emit a hot light. His voice was a little dry. He hurriedly took a sip of tea and coughed twice, "Let's talk about these things later. Let's go back to the couch to rest. Tomorrow, just visiting the honorary ministers of Nanjing, I will be busy."

Ma Lian'er's eyes were rippling like spring water. She gently bit her lips and said softly: "Are you full?"

"Yeah, full."

"Sweeping" laughed, Lian'er's eyes were as charming as silk, and her voice became soft: "If you are full, do you have to think about it..."

Yang Ling was expressed by her words, and couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, she leaned over and hugged her slender waist, and hugged her Heng'er. Ma Lian'er screamed in surprise, hurriedly hugged his neck, and said in surprise: "Why... are so strong now?"

Yang Ling smiled and said proudly: "Practice!"

After a while, Yang Ling's voice on the bed said softly: "Lian'er, are you looking forward to me day and night?"

"That's...that's not."

"No?" Yang Ling whispered with a smile.

Ma Lian'er moaned, and her hot cheeks were buried in Yang Ling's arms.

The two of them were fighting each other, and Lian'er lay sweetly in his arms, and then she fell asleep.

It was bright and Yang Ling opened her eyes, as if she was in a sympathy. Lian'er let out a delicate moan from her nose and woke up. She didn't open her eyes. Instead, she looked like a sleepy child, pressing Yang Ling tightly, holding her arms tightly, and saying vaguely: "Don't get up, I want you to hold me and lie down again. I will wait for you to see you once a year, so I will spend more time with me."

Yang Ling stroked her smooth shoulders pity and kissed her soft hair gently. He whispered: "I won't be there anymore, we will go back to Beijing. We will never let you suffer from the days when you can't meet each other from mountains and waters."

"Um, umm..." Lian'er seemed to be troubled by him last night. She was so lazy that she refused to open her eyes, but there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and she listened to him happily.

"Dong!Dongdong!"

Yang Ling poked his head out of the embroidered curtain and frowned unhappily: "The servants in the mansion are so unruly. Who is this? I just got up when I remember it? Is there such a knock on the door? Isn't it annoying!"

Yang Ling shrank his head and ignored him in anger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang bang..." Listen carefully, it seemed to be "General Order"? It was just a short paragraph over and over again. Yang Ling was annoyed, and his body jumped to the edge of the bed, pressing the embroidery curtain tightly. He poked his head out and shouted: "Who?"

There was no movement outside again, Lian'er also stuck her head out, her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm: "Is it your baby daughter, right?"

Yang Ling almost fell out of bed and said with a straight look: "Why did this child get up so early?"

Lian'er squinted her pretty eyes and yawned lazily: "It's getting late. It's getting dark. My daughter usually slept with me. She was only sent to Chu Ling's place when she coaxed her to bed yesterday. She must have been unhappy when she didn't see me when she woke up in the morning."

Yang Ling slapped his forehead, jumped naked, and said in a panic: "Hurry, hurry up, my clothes."
Chapter completed!
