Chapter 1334 Su Su, I'm Back [Awkward Title]
He achieved his greatest military feat and gained fame, but he also became a laughingstock.
Well, Xiao Zongqi was just too happy, or maybe he wanted those around him to benefit from it. In just a few minutes, he didn't stop praising himself, his uncle Lao Tao, the junior officers, and Deputy General Lang.
Because they were family, Xiao Tao, the commander, spoke without reservation, recounting many of Old Tao's deeds.
Most of his deeds were heroic, but there were also embarrassing incidents such as Old Tao, a centurion, making a mistake while killing the enemy and being punished as a result.
Old Commander Tao: "Really? Where is the living military merit? Take me to see it."
"He's being heavily guarded over there. Come with me quickly." Junior Commander Tao led Senior Commander Tao to see west Liuer.
When Old Tao saw the actual product, he finally believed it: "Well done, kid. You've really brought honor to the Tao family."
He was also very pleased: "You can stand on your own now. Once you get married and have children, I can rest assured."
Everyone: "..."
I hope you don't know that Commander Tao said you made a mistake by performing meritorious service, and that you cried while hugging your warhorse, only to be kicked by the irritable horse. To avoid the kick, you lunged to the side, only to fall into horse manure.
You fell for a girl from a scholarly family, but hesitated and were too late. A pretty boy beat you to it and proposed to you first. Heartbroken, you squatted by a wall in the street and cried. Your future wife, the daughter of a bodyguard, saw this and thought you had been wronged. She wanted to stand up for you, which led to your current lack of authority as a husband and other embarrassing incidents.
Fortunately, everyone is busy killing Dong Zisheng's troops, and Old Tao, the centurion, has not learned the truth. Otherwise, he would have pinched his philtrum and then hung up Little Tao, the captain, and given him a good beating!
What a lousy mouth! Why does it say everything to outsiders?
In fact, Commander Tao is quite tight-lipped. He won't talk about anything related to military affairs or serious matters; he only talks about harmless things.
It was tough on Old Tao, the centurion, because he was closest to Little Tao, the commander, and was singled out to entertain his comrades.
"Old man, you've seen my strength, haven't you? Then don't stop me from going to kill the enemy and make merit... As for you, hurry back to the chevaux-de-frise camp and rest. Look at you, you've aged so much since you left. Even my aunt will complain about you when you get home." Having made great contributions and seen his family return safely, the usually composed Commander Tao became lively.
Old Commander Tao was still very worried... The enemy troops in the Eastern Desert were as ferocious as ghosts, and he had dreamed several times that this kid had been dissected by the enemy.
"Alright, you volunteer to go kill the enemy, and I'll help you bring the merit back to the city!" Old Commander Tao finally agreed.
General Liang and the other commanders have already taken good care of Xiao Tao out of consideration for him and his elder brother. But he has to fight on his own and go through countless battles to survive the next big battle.
If you keep protecting them, they'll only face certain death in a major battle.
"Then let's hurry and see Commander Jiang!" Little Tao, the flag officer, hurriedly led Old Tao, the centurion, and his living military merits to see Jiang Dalang.
Upon seeing west Liuer, Jiang Dalang immediately understood: "This thief is not someone we can hold our tongues over. If we take him back and interrogate him, we will surely be able to pry open his mouth and obtain a lot of intelligence about the Eastern Desert."
"Ugh ugh ugh!" west Liuer cried out, appearing ready to be loyal to Dongmo, but fear was in his eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Dalang laughed: "Slaughterhouses are not something you people can do, but we only use this method on the animals."
"Rest assured, the Great Wei has a benevolent heart and will not let you die easily."
"Ahhh!" west Liuer was terrified by Jiang Dalang's eerie smile. She screamed inwardly and struggled, wanting to kill herself.
Unfortunately, he can't even die now, even if he wants to.
dong dong dong, dong dong dong!
"Report! Three thousand cavalrymen have assembled and been equipped with weapons. They are ready to set off to kill Dong Zisheng's butcher tribe!" reported Zhong, Zhao, and Xiao Ling.
Commander Zhao and Commander Xiao Ling were even more eager to kill the enemy than Commander Xiao Tao... They had the fewest military merits after coming out, and they were too eager to make contributions.
"I hereby order you to lead three thousand cavalrymen to annihilate Dong Zisheng's butcher tribe, to carry out Heaven's punishment, and to avenge the Wei people and Wei army!" Jiang Dalang gave them the official document authorizing them to send troops to kill the enemy.
He then instructed Zhong Baihu, Zhao Qianhu, and Xiao Ling Qianhu separately: "Regardless of whether you can kill all the butchers, you must return to the city by noon the day after tomorrow to prevent the Eastern Desert army from blocking your way back." The three men were startled, understanding the current situation of both sides, and nodded emphatically: "We will not linger in battle and will definitely return to the city on time."
Regardless, they wanted to die in their own city.
"Returning in triumph!" Jiang Dalang shouted.
All the Wei soldiers and mountain dwellers on the mountain shouted repeatedly, "Return in triumph!" to see off Commander Zhong and his men.
The sound shook the heavens and the dazed Tang Qianhu was jolted awake. He pointed at Dong Zisheng's charred corpse and said, "He's burnt, he's burnt! He really can't be brought back to life!"
Zhong Baihu's trusted guards chimed in, "Yes, yes, this butcher is truly dead. He can't be resurrected... Commander Tang, look! Our army is back and is about to set off to kill the other butchers."
"I want to go too! Da Lang, you're the temporary commander? Then I'll volunteer to go and kill the Eastern Desert beasts of Dong Zisheng's tribe!" Commander Tang rushed over and said a clear and unambiguous sentence in one breath.
"Commander Tang, you recognize Commander Jiang now? You've finally come to your senses?!" Prefect Shao, Magistrate Luo, and General Ou were all overjoyed, almost bursting into tears.
Commander Tang was stunned for a long time, which made Prefect Shao and the others' hearts pound, fearing that he would have another attack.
Fortunately, after a long pause, Tang Qianhu nodded: "Yes, I'm awake now... All the way here, my mind was like it was covered by a layer of fog, everything I thought about was very blurry, and I seemed unable to think or think clearly. But now that fog is gone, and I can think about things normally again."
"Good, good, good!" Prefect Shao wiped away his tears and bowed solemnly to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much, General Ou and Commander Tang, for leading the troops to fight the enemy and protect us. It was thanks to you that we were able to return to the capital city alive and not become tools for the enemy to humiliate the Great Wei Dynasty. I will remember this kindness forever!"
Judge Luo also bowed and said the same thing.
Even General Ou bowed and thanked Commander Tang.
Generals usually command the commanders of a thousand households to fight, while the commanders of a thousand households and a hundred households are the ones who actually go to fight the enemy with swords.
Commander Tang waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't thank me, I don't deserve it. Thank those soldiers, they risked their lives to protect us. We should thank them, they are the ones we should thank..."
"Yes, yes, thank them." Prefect Shao and the others, fearing that Commander Tang was about to have another episode, hurriedly and solemnly knelt down to thank the fallen soldiers.
The military doctor also stepped forward and gave Tang Qianhu acupuncture to calm him down.
"I'm fine now, and my strength is still good. I request to go into battle and kill those butchers!" Commander Tang volunteered again.
"Yes," Jiang Dalang agreed.
Commander Tang quickly mounted his horse, grabbed two bags of weapons, and set off with Commander Zhong and his men to kill the enemy. He didn't forget to add, "Throw this butcher's ashes into the latrine. He only deserves that kind of end!"
"Don't worry, we'll do as you say!" Prefect Shao and the others had the same idea; this beast was truly inhuman.
"Set up defenses, raise the defensive line."
"Extend another hundred miles in all directions and set up hidden sentry posts to detect the enemy's movements."
"Split your troops, dig and set up ambushes..." Jiang Dalang suppressed his urge to rush to see Su Su and dutifully issued one defensive order after another.
After all the battalions had carried out these military orders, he rode down the mountain and headed towards the chevaux-de-frise camp.
Hearing that Su Su was in the Juma Formation camp, he would soon be able to see her.
He frowned again. Oh no, the military camp was harsh. It would be best if Su Su had already returned to the city and was living in the comfortable Wuyuan Garden.
