The two of them rode horses and quickly arrived at the edge of the lake. This is called the lake, but it is just a big pond. It is not known whether there are fish in this pond.

Zhao Junsheng immediately took out a sewing needle and bent it to make a fishing hook. He used three strands of sewing thread as a fishing line, and a spear as a fishing rod. He found a bird feather and cut it off and tied it on the fishing line. float.

Lu Xuanbo was surprised: "Young master, you don't even have any bait, I want to see how you catch the fish!"

"Who says I don't have bait?" Zhao Junsheng said as he took out a hard steamed cake from his arms, broke it into pieces, took off the cowhide water bag containing wine, and poured some wine on the steamed cake crumbs.

He kept rubbing the crumbs of steamed pancakes drenched in wine with both hands, and after a while sprinkled these crumbs on a piece of water without aquatic plants, he took out another piece of dried meat, tore off a string on the fishhook, The hook is thrown into the water, and the fish made of bird feathers floats on the water.

During the first cup of tea, there was no movement from the float, but Zhao Junsheng was not in a hurry and waited slowly.

After a cup of tea, the float shook violently and suddenly sank into the water. Zhao Junsheng immediately pulled the hook upwards forcefully, the fishing line was pulled tight, and a crucian carp weighing six or seven was pulled up.

Lu Xuanbo, who had never fished, became excited and immediately ran over to string the fish with branches.

Since the bait bit the hook this time, Zhao Junsheng has been able to catch a fish almost every minute. He knows it is because of the fish in the pond.

The number is quite large, and it is also because his amateur fishing level is not bad. In fact, wild fish are the best to catch. Domestic fish can eat and drink enough every day, but it is not easy to catch them, and domestic fish are large in size. With great strength, it is easy to break the fishing line and hook, and it takes time and effort to pull it up.

It was more than an hour at dusk when Zhao Junsheng saw that the sun was about to set, so he asked, "Old Lu, how many fish are there?"

Lu Xuanbo turned his head to look, and replied: "I guess it weighs more than 20 catties!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that the float was pulled down to the surface of the water again, and immediately pulled the lever, and a catfish was pulled up. This guy probably weighed two catties. He threw the catfish to Lu Xuanbo, got up and put away the spear and fishing line and hook: "Call work!"

The two rode back to Nantian Castle quickly. Zhao Junsheng boiled a large pot of fish soup himself, and fried another fish for Hua Mulan's body. The rest of the fish was boiled into fish soup for the soldiers. Add vegetables.

"Mulan, it's time for dinner!" Zhao Junsheng walked into the room with fish soup and fried fish and called softly.

The room was pitch dark, Zhao Junsheng used a torch to light the oil lamp, Hua Mulan got up weakly and put on her clothes and saw that there were fish on the table, she was a little surprised and said, "Brother Junsheng, where did the fish come from?"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "I just went to the lake five miles away to catch it! You and the brothers were injured and needed supplements to recover quickly. The brothers all shared some, and this is for you. Yes, eat quickly!"

Hua Mulan lost a lot of blood, her body was a little weak, and she could hardly hold the pottery bowl. Zhao Junsheng immediately took the pottery bowl and said, "Come on, let me feed you!"

Hua Mulan wolfed down the fish soup and batter, and ate the fried fish. Zhao Junsheng felt distressed and tears welled up in his eyes.

Hua Mulan looked up and saw Zhao Junsheng's appearance, deeply felt Zhao Junshan's affection for her, reached out and touched his face, "Brother Junsheng, you eat too!"

Chapter 198 Promotion to Team Leader

Zhao Junsheng smiled and pushed back the fish that Hua Mulan picked up with chopsticks, "I've already eaten it, you can eat it, you'll get better soon!"

Hua Mulan retracted her chopsticks and put the fish into her mouth. Not only did Zhao Junsheng fry the fish without any fishy smell, but it was also very delicious. The skin of the fish was fried golden, and the fish absorbed the flavor of the sauce, making it delicious.

"Brother Junsheng, if there is no war, we will go back and get married. After we get married, we will open a tavern. You cook, and I will cut the vegetables and light the fire for you. The dishes you cook must be eaten by many people, and the business will be very good. !"

Hua Mulan's affectionate words warmed Zhao Junsheng's heart, and he agreed softly but firmly: "Okay!"

Soon after nightfall, there was a lot of sound of horseshoes coming from the rear of Nantian Fort. Zhao Junsheng immediately ran to the top of the fort to have a look, and found a large number of cavalry galloping from the south. Even though this cavalry came from the rear, Zhao Junsheng couldn't believe it easily. They are his own people, and he immediately ordered: "Everyone enter the castle!"

The heavy soldiers didn't even want their carriages, they left their empty carriages and ran into Nantian Castle.

A few torches were inserted on the top of the fort to illuminate the sky over the top of the fort. Zhao Junsheng saw the cavalry coming from behind each holding a torch, flying towards Nantian Fort like a long winding dragon.

The cavalry soon arrived at the south slope of Nantian Fort, and the leader shouted: "I am Wan Dugui, are Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng in the fort?"

Zhao Junsheng could hear the voice of Wan Dugui, the torch next to Wan Dugui illuminated his face, Zhao Junsheng immediately shouted: "Master, I am Zhao Junsheng, please wait a moment, my subordinates Here is an order to open the fort gate!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the soldiers raised the gate of the fort with nooses. Zhao Junsheng led Gao Xiu, Lu Xuanbo and several soldiers out of the fort to the foot of the hill.

"Subordinates pay homage to the military master!"

Wan Dugui jumped off his horse, "Where's Hua Mulan?"

Zhao Junsheng bowed and clasped his fists: "Mulan is injured and is recuperating in the fort! Today, in the daytime battle, Mulan's soldiers suffered heavy losses, and there are only seven people left including her. I'm afraid Nantian Castle has already been captured by the Rouran people!"

After listening to Zhao Junsheng's report, Wan Dugui turned around and ordered the first general, Monalou, to enter: "Order the soldiers to camp here!"

"Obey!" Monaloujin agreed, and turned around to order the various ministries to set up the soldiers on the spot.

Under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng, Wan Dugui followed him into Nantian Fort with a few soldiers. From bottom to top, Wan Dugui checked the entire building layout in Nantian Fort, and finally went to Hua Mulan's room. come.

Before reaching the door of the room, Hua Mulan put on her clothes and came out to greet her: "My subordinate, Hua Mulan, pays homage to the military commander. I don't want the military commander to personally bring troops to reinforce me. This subordinate is ashamed!"

Wan Dugui waved his hand: "It's useless not to mention these things, how is your injury?"

"I got an arrow in my back, but the arrow didn't go into my body, it only hurt my muscles, so it's fine!" Hua Mulan said, clasping her fists.

Zhao Junsheng immediately added: "Mulan has lost a lot of blood and her body is weak. I'm afraid she won't be able to fight the enemy again for nearly half a month. If the wound bursts, it will be troublesome!"

Wan Dugui nodded, looked around, "This place is too narrow, let's find a spacious place to talk!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng, several people came to the lobby on the third floor, which is also the command post of the fort.

Wan Dugui sat on the main seat and listened to Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng's detailed information about the fighting process during the day and Rouran's army. After listening, he frowned: "Princess Rouran Tuzhen would have heard However, this woman is not simple. In the year when His Majesty first ascended the throne, Rouran's army invaded, and Da Tan Khan led [-] cavalry to attack Yunzhong. Fifty circles, I heard that Princess Tuzhen offered advice to Great Tan Khan!"

Speaking of this, Wan Dugui wondered: "Princess Tuzhen is the daughter of Tawuluhu, the brother of Datan Khan. If she is in Shengle City, it means that Tawuluhu must also be in Shengle City. Tawuluhu is the daughter of Tawuluhu. Youxian King of Rouran, he definitely didn’t come here to visit the mountains and rivers! But this general just can’t figure it out, if the people of Rouran want to attack

Why did my Jinling camp only pull out the two big forts we set up in Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain, why didn't we raise all our troops to attack directly, but then came to attack Nantian Fort?Shouldn't their purpose be just to unplug our fortress? "

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, then clasped his fists to Wan Dugui and said, "Master, do you still remember the Rouran scouts we captured last time? At that time they explained the strength of the Rouran people in Shengle City. There are 5000 people. Now that Tawuluhu and Princess Tuzhen have arrived in Shengle City, I don’t think they brought a large number of soldiers and horses. When they came, the ice and snow had just begun to melt. The weather in the north is even colder. We are still thick here, and a large group of soldiers and horses marching can easily be wiped out in the wind and snow. I think the father and daughter should not have many people with them. I am afraid they only brought the guards. The number will not be too many. Considering the strength of Shengle City In fact, our Jinling garrison has no advantage. They must not be absolutely sure. Now that we have built a large number of forts in this area to block traffic, they dare not rush to attack in an all-round way. It is common sense to pull out our forts first and then attack aggressively But what I am worried about is that Rouran people are playing tricks to confuse us!"

After listening to Zhao Junsheng's analysis, Wan Dugui nodded and said, "You're right. I was also worried that they were playing tricks to cover up their real purpose, but I couldn't figure out what they were trying to do!"

At this time, Hua Mulan said: "Mr. Jun, judging from Princess Tuzhen's behavior, she should have a purpose in doing things. It can be seen from the fact that she broke the defensive belt arranged by her subordinates on the hillside. This The princess is a person who likes to use her brain!"

Wan Dugui shook his head: "We can't figure out her purpose, so we can only wait and see what happens! This Nantian Fort is the northernmost fort in our defense zone of Huaishuo Town. If the Rouran people want to attack from our defense zone, they must Break through this Nantian Fort first, so this fort cannot be lost, I decided to increase the garrison here and expand the scale of Nantian Fort! What do you two think?"

"The military leader is wise! I wonder how much the military leader plans to increase his troops?" Zhao Junsheng asked after cupping his fists in compliment.

"Increase to three teeth, and set up a team leader to lead!"

After Wan Dugui finished speaking, he pointed to Hua Mulan and said, "Mulan was tenacious and unyielding in today's offensive against the Rouran army. She persevered to the end and contributed a lot to repelling the Rouran army. I will promote you as the team leader. The post of master to act as the master of Nantian Castle!"

Zhao Junsheng was anxious: "Master, you are very grateful for Mulan's promotion, but now she is seriously injured and needs to go back to Jinling University to nourish her wounds. How can you let her stay here to recover from her injuries? The two agreed How about switching defenses once a month?"

Wan Dugui was a little embarrassed, covered his mouth and coughed twice to resolve the embarrassment, "This... Didn't Mulan just say that his injuries are all right? If that's the case, why not continue guarding? Besides, now I It is the time for the army to employ people, and it is also the time for you to make meritorious deeds, and it is easiest to make meritorious deeds in the place closest to the enemy! How about this, stick to it for another two months, and Mulan will definitely be replaced after two months, how about it?"

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan glanced at each other, they knew that Wan Dugui's decision had been made, and they might not be able to change it.

Hua Mulan was silent for a while and asked: "Master, there are only seven subordinates left, and everyone is injured. I wonder when the three teeth you promised will be replenished?"

"This is easy to handle. I'm going to bring more than a thousand people this time, and I'll draw three of them from each building to belong to you. From now on, they will be your people. Your team belongs to Monalojin's first team." In the establishment of the building, it is under the jurisdiction of Mona Luojin!"

"Okay!" Hua Mulan agreed, "I have one more request. I have decided to build a city wall on the hills on the left and right sides of Nantianbao. The soldiers who came with the army lord helped build the city wall together. The subordinates were worried that the Rouran cavalry would attack again. If the city wall could be built as quickly as possible, even if they came with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, as long as they There are enough defensive equipment, even if tens of thousands of them come, they can only look at this castle and sigh!"

Wan Dugui's complexion changed: "This is a big project, and it takes time and effort to build the city wall. Even if all the more than 1000 people who were supposed to be sent here are put to use, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish it in a day or two." This wall was built!"
