my wife is mulan

"I see!"

At this moment, Xue Andu called out in a low voice by the window: "Captain, come and see, there is something new, Ta Wuluhu and Princess Tuzhen are back!"

.

Chapter 204

Zhao Junsheng went to the window and took a look through the crack of the door, and he saw Princess Tuzhen stepping down from a carriage supported by Ta Wuluhu.

She covered her mouth with a piece of silk, coughed twice from time to time, and followed Ta Wu Lu into the palace under the guard of some personal soldiers.

Zhao Junsheng withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to think for a moment, turned around and said to Gao Xiu and Xue An seriously: "We have two choices now: first, sneak into Ta Wuluhu, hold him hostage, and force him to order Shelun to lead the army Withdraw back! Second, kill all the Rouran war horses and livestock left in Shengle City, or sneak into the food and grass storage point and burn all their food and grass!"

Both Gao Xiu and Xue An were puzzled after hearing this, and Gao Xiu asked: "Captain, you said you wanted to hold Ta Wuluhu hostage and force him to order Shelun to lead the army back, I can understand that; If all the horses and livestock here are killed, and all the food and grass are burned, the subordinates can't understand, She Lun has led the army for such a long time, and it is useless for us to stir up wind and rain here now!"

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, "The chaos here is not aimed at Shelun's army. Shelun's [-] cavalry have set off for almost two hours, and we alone are beyond our reach. We are aiming at the chaos in Shengle City." Princess, this woman is too shrewd. She will not fail to think of the role of Nantian Fort. If Nantian Fort is not breached by the Rouran people for a day, the Rouran army will not be able to go south with all its strength. If the fort departs from Tunzuo Mountain and Da'e Mountain by detour, the Shelun army is in danger of being besieged and wiped out! If Shengle City is in chaos, Princess Tuzhen will not be able to send troops to contain Nantian Fort. The Rouran cavalry never returns!"

Gao Xiu sighed: "This subordinate understands that the captain is far-sighted, and this subordinate is too late! It is too difficult and dangerous to sneak into the side of Tawuluhu and Princess Tuzhen. I am afraid that we will have no chance at all! On the contrary. It is possible to kill those Rouran horses and burn their food and grass!"

Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go and poison their war horses first! This Shengle City used to be the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom, there must be many medicine shops in the city, Rouran people will not use my Central Plains medicine stone, and there must still be some medicine shops in these medicine shops." There are tons of drugs, some of which can save lives and kill them!"

"Okay!" Gao Xiu agreed, hacked Banu to death, and the three of them packed up and went to the city to find a medicine shop.

Royal Palace.

When Afugan heard his subordinates report that Youxian King Tawuluhu and Princess Tuzhen had returned, he was startled, but he immediately smiled. Now that Shelun has led the army away for two hours, even if Tawuluhu He ordered to send people to let Shelun withdraw the army, but Shelun's nature may not necessarily obey the order. No matter what the final result is, it is he, Afugan, who benefits.

Afugan led several generals to greet him: "The last general, Afugan, pays homage to King Youxian and Princess Tuzhen, and welcomes King Youxian and Princess Tuzhen back to Shengle City!"

Ta Wulu raised his hand suddenly: "A Fugan, there is no need to be polite! By the way, why are there so many soldiers and horses missing in this city?"

"This..." Afugan hesitated to say.

Ta Wulu frowned suddenly: "Afugan, I was ordered by the Khan to command all the soldiers and horses in the north and south of Yinshan Mountain. I ordered you to tell where most of the soldiers and horses in Shelun went?"

A Fugan had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Marshal Shelun led 1 troops to attack the Jinling Camp!"

When Princess Tuzhen heard the news, she felt as if she had been hit by a sap. Her face turned pale instantly, and she screamed: "What? Cough cough, cough cough... is he crazy? Cough cough... ··The weather today is not conducive to our cavalry charge, and Nantian Fort has not been captured, how can he act so risky? Why don't you stop him? "

A Fugan had a bitter old face, "My princess, it's not like you don't know the temperament of Marshal Shelun. Can he listen to what the general said? It's not that the general didn't persuade him, but he didn't listen. , and severely reprimanded me!"

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dignified, Ta Wuluhu's face was so gloomy that it was scary, and Princess Tuzhen's face turned from pale to flushed.

"Youxian King, Princess, what should we do now?" Afugan asked cautiously.

Ta Wulu suddenly turned his head to look at Princess Tuzhen: "Daughter, now the king can only send someone to drive over quickly.

I issued a strict order to Shelun to lead his army to withdraw, I hope there is still time! "

Princess Tuzhen thought for a moment, then waved her jaded hand: "No need, the arrow has already been shot, how can I take it back? If my father forcibly orders him to lead the army back, it will definitely make She Lun feel resentful and cause trouble." If the general is at odds, besides, he may not be defeated, but we have to solve his worries!"

"What are you going to do, daughter?"

Princess Tuzhen didn't know what Afugan was thinking. As soon as she came back, she knew that Shelun led the army to attack the Jinling camp. There was no reason why Afugan was instigating it. She looked at Afugan and said, "Deputy Commander Afugan, If Shelun's army is defeated by Wei's army, and Khan will pursue it, you, as the deputy commander, may not be able to escape the relevant responsibilities, if you want to be safe and sound, you must fully cooperate with this princess!"

Afugan was startled, he knew that Princess Tuzhen had seen the clue, so he suppressed the panic in his heart, and quickly lowered his posture: "I don't know how the princess will act, and I will definitely cooperate with all my strength in the end!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Five thousand!"

"Okay, my princess wants to borrow 2000 people. It's noon now, let them gather and prepare five days of dry food before dark!"

Afugan stroked his chest and agreed: "Obey!"

In a pharmacy, the store door was closed tightly, and there were several corpses of Rouran soldiers lying in the store. Zhao Junsheng and Xue Andu carried the corpses to the backyard and hid them. Gao Xiu carried a cloth bag on his back. Look for medicinal materials in the warehouse.

After Zhao Junsheng and Xue An had hidden the corpses and returned to the store, Gao Xiu also came back from the medicinal material warehouse with a bag of medicinal materials on his back.

"How about it, are you all set?"

"It's complete, but it's better to chop up these medicinal materials and grind them into powder!"

Xue An said: "Just now I saw a guillotine and a stone mill in the backyard, they should be used to grind medicinal materials!"

The three of them came to the backyard, and spent less than half an hour grinding a sack of medicinal materials into powder, and packed it in a densely woven silk bag, with another sack wrapped around it.

The three came near the stables in the northwest corner. Zhao Junsheng and the three hid in one place and observed for a while, and found that the defense was much looser than in the morning.

Zhao Junsheng was trying to find a way to sneak in, when he saw some grooms approaching, he turned his head, and immediately signaled to Gao Xiu and Xue Andu, "Go!"

The three of them dispatched together, and the three grooms who had just passed by were knocked out by them and dragged to a hiding place. Not long after, the three of Zhao Junsheng mixed into the stables wearing groom's clothes and carrying medicine powder on their backs.

The space of the stables is surprisingly large. It used to be the stables used by the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is very spacious and has many stables. It can raise [-] war horses here at the same time.

The three of Zhao Junsheng walked among the stables, looking at the tall and strong horses, Gao Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity!"

"It's a pity, no matter how many horses there are, they won't belong to us!" Xue An couldn't help but say something.

A person in charge stepped forward and asked, "Hey, what are you guys doing? Why haven't I seen you?"

Gao Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "We are new here!"

"New here, why didn't I know there was a new groom?" The steward became very suspicious.

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were fierce, and his right hand moved, and an embroidery needle was caught between his fingers.

At this time, a voice came from outside the stable: "Steward, come out, there is an order from above, let your people feed all the horses immediately, tonight you will go out all night, and you must feed all the horses before dark. Did you hear that?"

The steward immediately ran over to apologize and smiled: "Yes, yes, I must be fed!"

After sending the messenger away, the steward turned around and shouted at Zhao Junsheng and the three of them: "You newcomer, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and add fodder to the trough, if you can't feed all the horses before dark, I peeled off your skin!"

"Yes, yes, we're going to work now!"

There were more than a few grooms in the entire stable, and there were hundreds of people serving the war horses, all of whom were captive slaves. Under the call of the steward, these people began to carry fodder to feed the war horses.

Under the cover of Zhao Junsheng and Xue Andu, Gao Xiu carried a cloth bag and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder in each manger.

Half an hour later, Gao Xiu joined Zhao Junsheng and Xue An, "Captain, it's all over!"

"Let's go!"

The medicinal powder was too strong. Before the three of Zhao Junsheng walked out of the stables, the horses that had eaten first fell to death one after another. This immediately caused panic among the captives and slaves.

"It's bad, some horses died!" Some of the captive slaves yelled in horror. They had to be afraid. As captive slaves, they had to feed the horses. If something happened to the horses, they would all be beheaded.

When the steward saw it, his face turned pale with shock, and suddenly he thought of the three of Zhao Junsheng who were acting suspiciously, and immediately pointed to the three of Zhao Junsheng who were about to walk to the door of the stable and shouted: "Stand, catch them!"
