My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Chapter 123 General Lei Gets Such a Virtuous Wife

Lei Jiliang did not expect that Changfeng County would fall so quickly. It was because he took the initiative to provide assistance that Zong Yanhongtu was saved.

if not……

"General Lei's kindness will be something I will never forget." After hearing his words, Zong Yanli knelt down and bowed without hesitation.

"General, please stand up quickly!" Lei Jiliang quickly bent down to help her up, staring at Zong Yanli, who was still in heavy armor with his face covered by iron armor. What revealed in his eyes seemed even more moving.

"You and I are both generals, so we should help each other." Lei Jiliang looked at Zong Yanli with a complicated expression and said, "General Mingwei is seriously injured and unconscious. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while. The general must be tired after traveling day and night. Why don't you go down and rest for a while?"

"Emperor Qing has come here in person. He will not retreat so easily. He will come back sooner or later."

"General, you should conserve your energy and gather your strength before meeting the enemy."

Zong Yanli listened to Lei Jiliang's words and nodded slowly. Although she was angry and hurt, and wished she could find the spy in the army immediately, she also knew that nothing could be rushed.

She bowed to Lei Jiliang again and said, "Second uncle, I'll trouble General Lei to take care of you."

Lei Jiliang said there was no need to be polite, and then asked his personal soldiers to take Zong Yanli to the army to rest.

Lei Jiliang watched Zong Yanli leave, and was extremely impressed by him in his heart. He had heard of Zong Yanli's great name a long time ago. Although he became famous at a young age, he did not have the slightest bit of aggressiveness. His calm demeanor was even deeper than that of the veterans. He thought it was just an ordinary thing before, but now he had met him in person and was even more impressed.

"Father! Where is the great general of Pingxi?" A young general in a white robe walked in. He had a face as rosy as a peach, and curved eyebrows with a rosy complexion. It was obvious that he was a woman dressed as a man without having to look at him any further.

"Why are you dressed like this again?" Reggie glared at his daughter with a headache and said, "That's outrageous. Go change!"

"If I were you, you wouldn't let me enter the barracks." The young general stamped his feet, looking unconvinced. He raised his eyebrows and smiled at the heroic figure and said, "If I pretend to be your personal soldier, I won't be considered a woman!"

"Nonsense!" Lei Jiliang was helpless. This little girl grew up by his side. She was willful and disobedient. She secretly changed into men's clothes and ran into the military tent to fight with the soldiers under Lei Jiliang.

After a few visits, the soldiers under Lei Jiliang's command became very familiar with this young lady. When they saw her dressed as a man, they called her "Little General", and when they saw her dressed as a woman, they called her "Miss". They were very skilled.

Lei Qimei is now at the age of marriage and is no longer as young as she was before. Lei Jiliang strictly forbade her to enter the military tent again, and she finally behaved herself for a while.

When she heard that the famous General Pingxi was coming, she bravely changed into men's clothes and ran over, wanting to catch a glimpse of his heroic figure.

Lei Jiliang looked at his daughter unhappily and said, "She left a long time ago, so why would she have the time to care about you?"

"Dad! Why don't you help me stay for a while!" Lei Qimei stomped her feet in frustration.

"Stop messing around. The army is not a place for you to play around. Go change quickly." Lei Jiliang frowned and scolded Lei Qimei, then drove her away.

When Zong Yanli took a rest, it was dark when he woke up.

When Gao Feilin saw Zong Yanli woke up, he quickly fetched some water and asked Zong Yanli to wash himself briefly. Since following Zong Yanli, Gao Feilin has also noticed that his general is very fond of cleanliness. Unless forced by circumstances, he will be very particular about washing every day.

Zong Yanli washed and changed into clean inner clothes, and called a mute slave to help her put on the military armor. The heavy armor was difficult for her to put on and take off by herself, so she did not take it off easily.

Zong Yanli ate a quick meal, then turned around and called Long Feiguang, Bai Xiuyun and others into the tent, taking this opportunity to get a general idea of ​​the current battle situation.

"Sir, have you been to Qing Kingdom, but have you ever met the Emperor of Qing?" Zong Yanli wanted to hear about the Emperor of Qing Kingdom first. Since he dared to lead the army in person, he must have some abilities.

"I know a little bit." Gongsun Pu really knew. He thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows and said, "The Emperor of Qing is indeed brave and capable, but he is too arbitrary and does not listen to advice. From the incident with Zhang Yan, I believe the general can also see something."

"The Qing army's most valuable weapons are chariots and weapons. If we want to seize the chariots and fight the enemy, it will be difficult."

"If we destroy them all, it would be really painful."

Anyone who has fought in a war these days knows how valuable military equipment is. Even war horses are so hard to come by, not to mention the chariots that take so much manpower to build.

If there is a way, it would be best to snatch it.

Zong Yanli understood the reasoning very well. He nodded slightly and said, "There are very few generals with strategies like Wu Jian'an in the world. It is definitely not ordinary for Qing to send all its troops here."

"The most important point is who leaked the news, causing the annihilation of the defenders of Yuanshi Pass!" Zong Yanli couldn't help but clenched his fists when he said this, and smashed the table in anger, his eyes full of hostility.

"This matter is of great importance." Everyone asked the general to calm down, and then he said with a serious expression: "I am afraid we need to wait until General Mingwei wakes up and ask him for the details before we can investigate."

Zong Yanli listened and closed his eyes, as if suppressing the anger in his chest.

He then asked about the situation of the soldiers under his command, and asked the generals to comfort the soldiers, feed the horses, and restore their spirits as soon as possible to be ready for battle at any time.

Everyone agreed one by one, and then dispersed, waiting to discuss the war with Lei Jiliang tomorrow.

The next morning.

Zong Yanli had long been accustomed to practicing swordplay in the morning. She unexpectedly found a small pot of wine on the table when she got up. She walked forward, picked up the pot and sniffed it carefully. She smelled a faint chrysanthemum fragrance in the pot. It turned out to be a pot of chrysanthemum wine.

Zong Yanli was slightly stunned. Such a small pot of wine was finished in just two sips.

She was a little confused, but when she left the tent, she found out that everyone had a cup of chrysanthemum wine to drink.

"Today is Double Ninth Festival. This wine was sent by General Lei's wife." Gao Feilin bowed to Zong Yanli and explained.

"General Lei is so thoughtful..." Zong Yanli was extremely surprised. Looking at the soldiers outside the tent drinking this glass of wine, the smiles on their faces seemed to suddenly come alive. They were not only focused on fighting, but also living very seriously and celebrating the Double Ninth Festival.

Zong Yanli lowered his eyes and looked at the small wine jug in his hand. He was silent for a long time and finally went to Lei Jiliang's tent to express his gratitude.

Lei Jiliang was amused to see Zong Yanli being so serious about such a small matter and said, "My wife brews several jars of wine for the soldiers every year. This year, we didn't expect a war to break out, so the wine was diluted with water. The general only got a small amount. I feel ashamed."

"But my wife wouldn't listen and insisted on sending the wine away." Lei Jiliang felt very embarrassed. He knew that his wife was serious. Not to mention the Double Ninth Festival, she would always find ways to prepare some food for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival to share with the soldiers.

The lady said that since the soldiers were far away from home and came to her jurisdiction, she should be treated as family, and since they were family, they had to celebrate the festival.

Lei Jiliang no longer obstructed the general, and the general's wife even found embroiderers from all over the place to sew soles for the soldiers and make winter clothes for them. She treated them like their own mothers.

It is precisely because of this action that all the soldiers under Lei Jiliang respect the general and his wife very much.

Zong Yanli was greatly shocked when he heard this, and he sighed to Lei Jiliang: "General Lei is blessed to have such a virtuous wife."

“Hahaha!” Lei Jiliang was also very happy to hear Zong Yanli’s praise. He immediately invited Zong Yanli and said, “General, I guess you haven’t eaten yet. The clear soup noodles made by my wife are very delicious. Come on…”

"How can this be possible?" Zong Yanli immediately refused and tried to leave.

"It's okay, it's just an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."

"..."

Zong Yanli was a little amused and helpless, and was dragged home by Lei Jiliang.

We walked all the way to the Lei family courtyard, a small house. Along the way, we saw that the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was obvious that under the protection of Lei Jiliang, the people were very worry-free. Even though the Qing army was outside, the people still went to the fields as needed and set up stalls as needed.

From this we can see that Lei Jiliang is definitely a trustworthy person.

"Madam!" The man who was so calm and sturdy outside started to yell as soon as he entered the house: "Go and prepare some wine and food!"

"It's so early in the morning, didn't you just go to the army?" Madam Xie listened to Lei Jiliang's howling helplessly. She walked out of the inner courtyard. She was dressed simply but in a rare good color. Her eyes were gentle. When she first saw Zong Yanli, who was wearing heavy armor and covered with iron armor, seemed to be stunned for a moment.

It's really because Zong Yanli was wrapped too tightly, and there was an aura of iron and blood all over his body. Anyone who saw him would be scared, right?

Zong Yanli felt a little at a loss, and felt more and more that he should not have come.

Lei Jiliang laughed and said, "This is the General of Pingxi, Zong Yanli, whom I often told you about!"

"Do I need your introduction?" Madam Xie glared at Lei Jiliang, then walked forward, bowed to Zong Yanli and said, "My name is Xie, and I am honored to meet you, General."

"Ma'am, there's no need to be so polite." Zong Yanli quickly bowed in return.

"Don't think my wife is so gentle, she is very capable." Lei Jiliang said with a laugh. Mrs. Xie was the daughter of Lei Jiliang's mentor, and the mentor arranged for the two to get married. Mrs. Xie looked gentle and charming, but she was also good at wielding swords and sticks when she was young.

Zong Yanli was incredulous. He turned his head again to look at the direction where Madam Xie left. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like she was brandishing a sword or a stick...

Lei Jiliang invited Zong Yanli to sit in the hall and said, "Come, come, chrysanthemum tea will quench your thirst!"

Mrs. Xie was obviously a woman who was very good at managing her life. Her house not only had chrysanthemum tea, but also Chongyang cake. The exquisite preparation made Zong Yanli very impressed.

"General Torre, you are so lucky. I haven't eaten these for a long time." Zong Yanli looked at the exquisite Chongyang cake and thought of his mother for no reason.

"This cake was made by my daughter." Lei Jiliang said with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cheerful voice calling out, "Dad! General Pingxi is here!?"

The woman who ran in from the door was wearing a long gown that didn't fit in with men's clothing. Her rosy little face seemed to be stained with a faint pink color because she ran so fast.

Zong Yanli was just about to take off his helmet and visor when he was stunned when he saw the person running in.
