Chapter 148 The Second Miss Returns to the House
Chen Shou looked at the soldiers and horses of Xiliang in shock. They were under the banner of the General's Mansion, with strong soldiers and large numbers, stretching for several kilometers.
"It actually came so fast!"
The veteran general in charge came over, and Li Ling saw it from afar, jumped and shouted, "Uncle Xiao!"
"Second Miss, haha, Xiao Shinan, deputy lieutenant Xuanjie under the command of the General's Mansion of the West, met the Zhongyong Marquis."
Chen Shou waved his hand and said, "The old general doesn't have to be too polite. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Li Lingyue smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao is an old man from our general's mansion. He has watched us grow up since childhood."
It turned out to be a general in the general's mansion. No wonder Li Wei asked him to come. Deputy Captain Xuanjie is actually a free position and cannot command so many soldiers.
Xiao Shinan smiled and said, "When the old general received a letter from Zhongyong Hou, he immediately asked us to wait for the troops to be sent. It took three days to get here, which was already very slow. If this was a war, the last general would probably be punished, haha."
Chen Shou sighed silently in his heart. It would be difficult for his marching to reach this speed.
When two armies fight, the speed of the marching determines many things. Whether they are surrounded or counter-encircled, whether they can pursue and defeat the army if they win, and whether they can retreat and stop losses if they lose. They are all determined by the speed of the marching.
The two soldiers I have seen that can be fought, one is the Liaodong soldiers and the other is the Xiliang soldiers. They all come and go like the wind, galloping and roaming.
On the other hand, my imperial guards are much worse. It takes seven or eight days to march from Bianliang to Shandong. The lack of horses is one aspect, and the failure to experience actual combat is also one reason.
Liaodong and Xiliang were constantly fighting with foreign races, and they all overwhelmed the local foreign races.
Dangxiang and Uighurs have become the source of recruitment for the General's Mansion in the West, and the aliens north of Liaodong are suppressed and beaten by the Liaodong army every day.
The soldiers and horses of Daming Mansion are relatively moderate, neither strong nor weak, and they are ordinary soldiers, and they still have a lot of room for improvement.
Especially when Li Lingyue got married, he brought many veterans and flooded the military camp, which greatly made Chen Shou's troops stronger.
Xiao Shinan looked at Li Lingyue's appearance? He knew that the couple had a deep relationship and was in harmony with each other. The people of Xiliang were resentful of the young lady's experience.
Li Xin made the decision in Liangzhou at the time, so many people Li Xin was very dissatisfied. He actually bowed to the court at that time? He sent the young lady away, and the soldiers of Xiliang shouted unwillingly on the top of the city.
If you are unable to calm your mind, you will feel angry? There will be a resounding over time.
Fortunately, Miss II did not have this experience? As an elder who watched the four elders of their siblings grow up with their own eyes, the other three made him more or less sad. Only Miss II had the most outrageous temperament, but she had the best destination.
"Marquis Zhongyong, are we going to Liangzhou in three days. Don't worry about this journey, no one can move the son-in-law of Xiliang."
Chen Shou smiled and said, "I'm sorry, everyone."
---
This journey was not as fast as Xiao Shinan imagined? Because Chen Shou was still carrying some followers, and his own troops were 20,000.
After five days of hiring, the group returned to Liangzhou. There were no high-end colored sheds outside the city? No one was greeted by thousands of people? The city gate was open? Several familiar figures were waiting in the suburbs.
Seeing the flags waving from afar, a man with outstanding appearance but honest and simple appearance in the suburbs rubbed his hands excitedly.
"The second brother is finally back." Chen Geng said silently in his heart.
At this time, Han people liked to call their relatives brother, but they did not specifically call their elder brother... So Chen Shou's brother called him second brother, his godfather called him Shou Geer, and even his son could call him second brother.
Ge was originally the original word "王" in Chinese. "王" was widely used in ancient times. It can be called father, brother, brother, and male. The word "王" did not make "王" from the Tang Dynasty. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, once called his father the fourth brother... ("Old Book of Tang Dynasty: Biography of Wang Ju" "Xuanzong cried and said: 'The fourth brother was kind and filial,'" The fourth brother refers to the father Ruizong, Ruizong, the father of Emperor Xuanzong.)
When Xuanzong had a son, he often called Xuanzong's third brother... Xuanzong called Li Xian (the eldest son of Ruizong) the eldest brother, and he called "brother". From the late Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, brothers were called "brother", so the title "brother" was not used at all. Therefore, among brothers in the Song Dynasty, the eldest brother would call his younger brother "second brother" instead of "second brother".
In front of him, Jiang Xiangyu from Liangzhou stood, and said to him with a smile: "I will meet the old coach later so that you can meet again. I think Brother Chen might as well go back and prepare. Chen Shou will probably go to find you tonight."
Chen Geng had no opinion. In his eyes, Jiang Xiangyu was a man from heaven. He quickly nodded and said, "I understand."
He looked at the distance and returned to the Su Mansion with nostalgia. Now the couple both live in Su Qiongzhi's mansion. When they heard that their son was fine, the couple cried with joy and hugged each other for a long time. Now that the second brother is back, the family is expected to be reunited, which is the most important thing.
After Chen Geng left, only Jiang Xiangyu and a few civil servants and generals from Liangzhou were left waiting.
When the troops approached, the Xiliang soldiers had already returned to the camp, leaving only more than a thousand personal guards of Chen Shou, who were guarding the carriages of their husbands and their husbands to the city gate.
"Mr. Jiang." Chen Shou was not in the carriage, riding a black horse, smiling and clasping his fists.
Jiang Xiangyu smiled and said, "Brother Shou, I've been looking forward to you."
Chen Shou laughed and said, "How dare you bother Mr. Jiang to greet him in person. Take me to pay homage to my father-in-law."
Inside the carriage, Li Lingyue also lifted the curtain and asked, "Uncle Jiang, is my father still in good health?"
"It's very strong. I even took a concubine a few days ago."
Li Lingyue was originally happy, but his face suddenly changed and he glanced at him angrily.
The group slowly entered the city, and a few Xiliang soldiers drove the way to the general's mansion.
Everyone in the general's mansion knew that the second lady Gui Ning had started cleaning and preparing a few days in advance.
Not only was the door clean clean, but the yard was also decorated with lights. Several nephews and unmarried nieces were standing at the door of the outer yard, waiting for their aunt to come back.
After the aunt left, the general's mansion was really deserted. The four little nephews were all born by Li Jin. Although Li Jin was gentle and humble, his four sons were all stubborn and looked very strong, and they looked like children from the generals at first glance.
After the people came in, the guards stayed outside, and only Zhang, Li Sanniu and others followed Chen Shou into the mansion.
Li Lingyue smiled and greeted the people along the way, and they were extremely kind. When they arrived at the door, several people spoke in unison: "Aunt."
Li Lingyue touched a nephew's head and asked, "Li Yuan, how about it? Let my aunt see if your martial arts have improved."
Li Yuan's face turned bitter and he said, "It's better to wait next time, don't let grandfather wait for a long time."
