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

Chapter 125: Becoming Sworn Brothers and Sisters

"But the enemy has set up camps and their distribution is particularly dense." Pei Liang boldly offered a plan: "I have a plan that can consume the enemy's military resources."

"Burning down the entire camp." Huo Wenqi, who was standing next to him, smiled knowingly and blurted out.

Gongsun Pu and Pei Liang in the tent turned around and smiled at each other, showing an indescribable tacit understanding.

Zong Yanli lightly grasped his sword and smiled, "Let's follow this plan."

When Reggie Liang came out of the tent, his heart was still pounding.

Although he knew that Zong Yanli must be capable, otherwise he would not have almost destroyed the State of Jin.

Today he finally saw it for himself. If Zong Yanli was the only one with ability, it would be absolutely useless. There are more than just Zong Yanli who have the ability.

"I originally thought that Zong Yanli only had many brave generals under his command, but now I see that he has quite a few counselors around him." Lei Jiliang was a little excited and thrilled, and said with joy in his eyes: "It's really a joy to have such a general in charge!"

"We can also let go and have a good fight!" Lei Jiliang smiled at the soldiers around him.

"General, the young lady is here in the army again." Lei Jiliang hadn't been happy for a while when he saw Lei Qimei who was gathering with Zhu Jin and others.

Zhu Jin and Yan Yingshan were now mixed together with the soldiers under Zong Yanli. When they saw Lei Qimei and the other boy, their eyes were wide open.

Lei Qimei put her hands on her waist and asked them, "Where is your general?"

Zhu Jin was the youngest. Hearing Lei Qimei's charming voice, he knew without a second thought that this girl must be a girl. His face immediately turned red, and he stammered, "You, who are you? How dare you enter such a restricted area of ​​the military camp? Not everyone can see our general."

"I..." Lei Qimei rolled her eyes and said loudly, "I'm here to become your disciple!"

"You? Become my disciple?" Yan Yingshan looked Lei Qimei up and down, and said with a slightly awkward look on his face: "Then forget it, our general already has a student."

"What's wrong with having students? I want to be their disciple!"

"..."

When Lei Jiliang came over, he saw this scene and shouted angrily: "Girl! You sneaked into the military camp again!"

Lei Qimei turned her head and stamped her feet angrily, "Dad! I told you not to call me like that!"

Lei Jiliang reached out and knocked her on the head and said, "You are my daughter, did I call you the wrong name?"

Zhu Jin and Yan Yingshan standing by suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this girl could enter and leave the military camp so freely, it turned out that she was General Lei’s daughter!

The two of them bowed politely to Lei Jiliang. Lei Jiliang nodded slightly and said, "Thank you two young generals for stopping us. Leave the matter to me." Lei Jiliang turned around and dragged Lei Qimei back, "Go home quickly! If you make trouble again, I'll lock you up!"

"Dad, I really want to become your disciple!" Originally, Lei Qimei just made this excuse casually, but after saying it, she inexplicably felt that it was feasible. If she could get Zong Yanli as her teacher, it would be a real honor!

"With your mediocre skills, you still want to become my disciple? Dad can still teach you." Lei Jiliang said with a sneer.

"father--!"

In the end, Lei Qimei was dragged away by Lei Jiliang. Zhu Jin and Yan Yingshan, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but grin and said, "General Lei and his daughter have a really good relationship..."

Yan Yingshan crossed his arms and said, "Then Miss Lei is pretty, right?"

Zhu Jin blushed: "Fifth brother, what are you talking about!"

Yan Yingshan laughed loudly and praised her generously, "I think she is pretty, but why is she wearing men's clothes..."

The two little ones couldn't keep the secret to themselves, so they went back and told Long Feiguang and the others. So much so that later in the evening, when Zong Yanli had finished her meal and was arranging her troops, Gongsun Pu walked in leisurely, staring at her with a smile on his face.

"...Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Zong Yanli raised his weapon and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"General Puguan has been having some romantic misfortunes lately!" Gongsun Pu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Zong Yanli sneered when he heard this: "Sir, you have such talent. I am still wearing my visor, and you can read my face from a distance?"

Gongsun Pu laughed twice and said, "General, please don't hide it. General Lei's daughter has come to the barracks today."

"Miss Lei has come to the army?" Zong Yanli put down the weapon in her hand, and she felt a little annoyed for a rare time. As she grew older, she could not avoid encountering such troubles as marriage.

"General, are you unhappy?" Gongsun Pu probably didn't expect Zong Yanli to react like this. His brows furrowed and his eyes looked a little serious.

"Love is a long-lasting thing, but my heart is only with my country." Zong Yanli clenched his hands, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Gongsun Pu and said, "Sir, you haven't got married yet, right?"

Gongsun Pu was somewhat speechless, and looked at Zong Yanli with a complicated expression and said: "The situation in the world is unpredictable, and wars are constantly going on. General, you should take care of yourself."

Zong Yanli didn't say anything. Gongsun Pu stood up and left. When he lifted the curtain, he looked back and saw Zong Yanli sitting in the tent in his military armor. For no reason, he felt a sense of admiration and sadness.

Zong Yanli was very distressed. General Lei had not stated this matter, and Miss Lei had never expressed her love. If she went directly to Lei Jiliang and said, "I can't marry your daughter," wouldn't this attitude be a bit too self-serious?

What if the girl has no interest in you at all and just simply admires you?

Zong Yanli thought for a long time and decided to wait and see what would happen.

"General." Wen Nian walked in from outside the tent and saw that he was panting as if he had run all the way here.

"Yeah." Zong Yanli raised her eyes to look at him, and then heard Wen Nian ask her in shock and confusion: "You want to get married?"

Zong Yanli: “…”

The soldiers under my command are still too idle!

How come it has become like this in just a short while?

Then that night, the entire army gathered on the parade ground, and everyone squatted on the parade ground with swords and shields in hand. This was the fate of those who made irresponsible remarks about their generals!

Lei Jiliang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He took the initiative to find Zong Yanli and told him what happened yesterday. He repeatedly assured that such a thing would never happen again in the future and that he would definitely discipline his daughter.

"Meimei, do you like the General Pingxi?" Seeing that her husband was angry and wanted to lock up her daughter, Mrs. Xie went to find Lei Qimei and asked her directly what was in her mind.

"Like... dislike!" In the boudoir, Lei Qimei changed back into her women's dress. She answered her mother's question, then realized that her mother had misunderstood her. She said unhappily, "Mom, my love for General Pingxi is not the love between a man and a woman!"

"What is that?" Mrs. Xie asked with a little confusion.

Lei Qimei frowned and thought for a long time without finding the right words. Finally, she described it seriously: "I have always wanted a brother who can protect me. I think my feelings towards General Pingxi are more like admiration and respect, not the kind of heart-pounding love."

Mrs. Xie understood immediately after hearing this. Although she felt it was a pity, since her daughter didn't like it, she couldn't force it.

Mrs. Xie conveyed her daughter's thoughts to Lei Jiliang. Lei Jiliang knew his daughter's temper very well. He knew that if she was not kept for two days, she would run away again. She might sneak into the army and find a way to see Zong Yanli.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to give her a fair chance. So when Reggie went to Zong Yanli with a shameless face and asked Zong Yanli to accept his daughter as his sister, Zong Yanli agreed very readily. In this way, those confusing rumors in the army were self-defeating.

The happiest person among them was Lei Qimei. Although it was a pity that she could not become his disciple, she now had a sworn brother!

"Hello, brother!" Lei Qimei was still wearing men's clothes and came to the army openly.

"No need to be so polite, little sister." Zong Yanli was completely relieved and politely extended his hand to help.

"Hahaha! That's great!" Lei Jiliang clapped his hands and cheered, but Zong Yanli and Lei Qimei were sworn brothers, which had nothing to do with him as their father, so in terms of status, Lei Jiliang could only be considered Zong Yanli's uncle!

Just when the happy event was about to happen, the military doctor sent someone to report that General Mingwei showed signs of waking up.

At that moment, Zong Yanli didn't care about anything else and hurried to Zong Yanhongtu's military tent.

"Second uncle?" Zong Yanli took off his helmet and visor, half-knelt in front of the bed, and looked at Zong Yanhongtu who slowly opened his eyes. He felt extremely fortunate and happy in his heart.

"Uncle, can you hear me?" Zong Yanli moved closer and saw Zong Yanhongtu moving his mouth as if he wanted to say something, so he held his breath and listened attentively.

Zong Yanhongtu's tone was too soft and Zong Yanli could not hear it clearly.

Unfortunately, Zong Yanhongtu seemed to have only woken up for a short moment before falling asleep again.

Zong Yanli knelt in front of the bed, holding the visor in her hand with extra force. She didn't know what her second uncle had gone through. She just put on the visor in silence and said to the military doctor: "If General Mingwei wakes up again, report to me immediately."

On September 18, Zong Yanli led his troops to launch the first offensive against the Qing army camp.

They cut down trees to make tung oil, wrapped arrowheads with oilcloth, and lit rockets to attack the enemy camp.

At the same time, when Zong Yanli attacked the camp, Emperor Qing led the main force of the enemy army to attack Linxi.

"The enemy attacked Linxi?" When the wolf smoke rose, Zong Yanli ordered Bai Xiuyun to lead the Ghost Camp troops to support Linxi and block the attack from the Qing Kingdom.

"It was Emperor Qing who led the army himself, while Yuan Heng stayed behind to guard the main camp." The enemy over there failed to capture Linxi, and Zong Yanli and others here failed to cause much damage to the enemy by burning the enemy's main camp. However, they found out that Yuan Heng did not lead the army, and guessed that there might be something wrong in the Qing army.

At the end of September, the enemy launched another offensive, this time targeting Nantai.

Such repeated and erratic attacks on the city caught people off guard.

Just when they were wondering whether the enemy wanted to test the strength of the three cities and perhaps attack Dongji next, the enemy turned around and attacked Linxi again.

"This guerrilla attack is intended to disrupt our army's line of sight." Zong Yanli came to the conclusion almost immediately after the enemy attacked the city three times. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "We can't be led by them by the nose. Our army should take the initiative to launch an offensive!"
