When Zhao Junsheng and others ran down the hillside, one of the soldiers who were building the city wall recognized them and immediately shouted: "It's the captain, it's the captain, they're back!"

The soldiers of the Wei army were excited. Many people knew that it was very dangerous for Zhao Junsheng and others to inquire about the military situation of the Rouran people. Now that they can return safely and bring back so many war horses, it can be seen that they have gained a lot.

Hua Mulan was supervising the work. When she saw Zhao Junsheng running ahead on a horse, she immediately ran down the hill to meet Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped in front of Hua Mulan. He jumped off the horse and saw that there were tears in the corners of Hua Mulan's eyes, and she looked worried as if she was about to cry. He immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm not returning safely now." Did you come back? It's all right!"

Hua Mulan tried her best not to let her tears flow down, turned her face away to wipe away the tears, then turned her head and said, "It's good that you come back."

"Let's go, let's go back to the castle and talk!"

Some soldiers from the fort came down to help lead the horses to the south slope of Nantian Fort to feed them.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan said as they walked: "This morning, Shelun has set off with 60 cavalry to Tunzuo Mountain to attack the Jinling Camp! It is more than [-] miles from Shengle City to Jinling Camp. If the [-] cavalry marches normally The speed can be arrived in one day. If Shelun still has some sense, he can't finish this distance in one day, because after arriving at the Jinling camp, his cavalry is also exhausted and has no combat capabilities! But things are not absolute , the barbarians are very vicious. If She Lun really led the cavalry to the Jinling camp and launched an attack, if our army was unprepared, it would probably be defeated! No matter whether it is too late or not, we must immediately send fast horses to the Jinling camp. Jinling side newspaper

letter! "

Hua Mulan's face changed drastically, and she immediately said: "Okay, I will immediately send someone to take three horses to Jinling as quickly as possible!"

In a short time, under Hua Mulan's arrangement, a knight rode a horse and took two horses and galloped towards Jinling. It doesn't take an hour to get there.

"I hope there is still time!" Hua Mulan sighed as she watched the messenger go away.

Zhao Junsheng comforted: "There is no need to worry. It is up to people to plan things and God to make things happen. We have done our best, and leave everything to God!"

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing, let's talk about it in the castle!"

The two came to Hua Mulan's room, and Zhao Junsheng briefly explained what happened to him, Gao Xiu, and Xue Andu in Shengle City in the simplest terms.

After hearing this, Hua Mulan said: "So the Rouran people in Shengle City no longer have the ability to attack, or even the basic defense?"

"There is still a certain amount of protection. After all, they still have 6000 or [-] people!"

When Zhao Junsheng said this, he pondered for a moment, looked up at Hua Mulan and said, "Now that Shelun is leading an army into our Wei army's defense area, he shouldn't have attacked the Jinling camp without sending troops to contain Nantianbao. We have a chance now. Then That is to send troops to garrison Zhashan Mountain and set up an ambush there. Regardless of the outcome of the Battle of Jinling, the Shelun army will eventually withdraw from Tuoshan Mountain and return. !"

Hua Mulan's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again: "But we only have about 300 troops here, and most of them are borrowed!"

"If it's only used to lay an ambush, these people are enough!"

Chapter 207 Sincerity, honesty and cunning

As the sun sets, the temperature brought by the sun to the earth gradually weakens.

Butter lamps have been lit in the dim Nantian Castle, and in the meeting hall on the third floor, the oil lamps hung on the walls crackle from time to time.

Zhao Junsheng was shirtless and gritted his teeth. Beads of sweat were constantly oozing from his forehead. There were six deep wounds on his back, the longest of which was as long as a finger.

Hua Mulan carefully cleaned the wound and the dried blood around him with gauze soaked in wine, and the pot of hot water had completely turned red.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed the towel beside the table and wiped his sweat, and said with a muffled grunt, "It's almost done, let's sew it up!"

The time of the injury is not long, and the wound can be sutured after careful cleaning. If the wound is not cleaned for more than three hours, bacteria will enter the body tissue and easily suppurate, and suturing will be useless.

Hua Mulan's movements were very light and careful, and Zhao Junsheng could bear the pain.

While suturing the second wound, Monalujin, the owner of the first building, and Shubrai, the owner of the seventh building, who were ordered to stay and lead a team to support Hua Mulan in building the city wall, walked in.

"Hahaha, Captain Zhao, you are a good enough kid. You dare to infiltrate into Shengle City to inquire about news with only two people, and you can still bring back the news of Rouran people alive. I, Monalou Jin, will not accept anyone, but you!"

Zhao Junsheng was healing his wounds and couldn't get up, so he could only raise his hand to say hello: "Master Monalou, Master Subliel, please sit down!"

Hua Mulan's personal soldier Huakui brought a cup of tea to Monaloujin and Subliel. When Monaloujin saw that it was tea, he immediately lost interest, waved his big horse and golden knife, sat down on one side and said carelessly: " Let’s forget about tea, we’re big bastards, we’re not used to this kind of stuff, Captain Zhao sent someone to call us over, I don’t know what’s the matter?”

Zhao Junsheng saw that the two of them were indeed not chatty people, so he had no choice but to cut to the chase: "Now there is an opportunity for me to make meritorious service here, I wonder if you two are interested?"

"Oh?" Mona Loujin and Subliel glanced at each other, "Let Captain Zhao make it clear!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled, "My little brother is just a captain of the supply chain, a lowly official, and he can't do a lot of talking. Let Mulan tell the two of you about this!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he gestured to Hua Mulan.

At this time, Hua Mulan finished stitching up the third wound on Zhao Junsheng's back, bandaged the wound with gauze, and put clothes on Zhao Junsheng.

"You two masters, it's like this. You two must have known the news that Rouran's army went to Zhashan to attack the Jinling camp. Now we don't know the specific situation there, but we can send troops to garrison Zhashan to intercept the Jinling camp. The return route of the Rouran army, Tunzuo Mountain is dangerous. It is easy for the Rouran army to enter, but it is difficult to withdraw. As long as we defend the Tunzuo Mountain, the Rouran army is like a turtle in a jar! I have only one person under my command, and there are people guarding Nantianbao I have a responsibility, and I really can't get away! The two masters, this is a rare opportunity in a thousand years!"

What Hua Mulan said made Mona Loujin and Xu Brai a little tempted. They hadn't thought of this before, but after being told by Hua Mulan, they immediately understood that this was really an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

However, Monalujin and Subliel are also people who have experienced battles. They know that although the opportunity is rare, they also know that it is not easy to accomplish this task.

Xu Blie scratched the back of his head: "Master Huabao, what you said is simple, this is not so easy to accomplish, excluding your 100 men, plus Captain Zhao's baggage soldiers, there are only 300 in total , the number of people is too small, and the combat power is also uneven. It is too difficult to block the Rouran army at Tunzuo Mountain. I am worried that not only did they not block them in the end, I am afraid that we will be involved! This matter! , I think it's very confusing, why don't we think about it again?"

Think about it again, but if you want to think about it again, there is no use, which is tantamount to a subtle rejection.

Who said these barbarians are simple-minded?This guy is very smart!Zhao Junsheng slandered in his heart.

Hua Mulan wiped her hands with a clean towel, and looked at Monalo Jin: "Master Monalo, what do you think?"

Monalujin was a little hesitant. He wanted to make meritorious service, but he was also worried that he would lose his army if he couldn't do it.

Point, there are strict regulations in the army, no one can attack without an order, and the consequences of an unauthorized attack are not something he can bear. Wan Dugui is unambiguous, and the army is strictly controlled. Afterwards, if you fail to do meritorious deeds, but are hacked by your own people for violating military laws, that would be called an injustice.

However, both Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan have said this. If he refuses to agree, he seems to feel that he can't save face. Moreover, since he knew about this matter, if the higher-ups knew about it afterwards, but he didn't seize the opportunity, would he give it to the higher-ups? Leave the impression that you can't take on big responsibilities?

After thinking about it, Mona Loujin said to Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng: "You two, I support your ideas, but there are rules in the army. If there is no military order from above, we can't attack without authorization, regardless of the outcome. If the higher-ups pursue it afterwards, this is a violation of military law! If you two want to do this, I can lend you soldiers and horses. If you win, I will not lose my share of the credit. If you lose, this It has nothing to do with me, what do you two think?"

Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng looked at each other, Mo Da Loujin's move is really clever and cunning, he can't miss the benefits, and he doesn't take the responsibility, and it's lucky that he can say such a thing, but since he is willing Borrowing troops can be regarded as an investment, but if you gain something, you have to pay dividends, and if you lose money, you will lose money, and he will not take responsibility.

The two walked aside to discuss in a low voice, and Hua Mulan said, "Brother Junsheng, what do you think?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I think his request is very reasonable. After all, he lent us the soldiers and horses. It is normal to share the credit afterwards, but we have to borrow the soldiers and horses of Schublie! Also, Which of the two of us will lead the troops to garrison Zhashan Mountain?"

Hua Mulan was quite conflicted: "I really don't feel relieved to let Brother Junsheng lead the troops to settle on the Oak Mountain alone, but I am the owner of Nantian Castle, and I have the responsibility to guard the Nantian Castle. It is really embarrassing to have the suspicion of leaving one's post without authorization!"

"I'm not worried about letting you lead troops to garrison Zuo Mountain. Let's ask Monalujin to guard it for you for a while. He will lend us his soldiers and horses and tie them to a rope. He will definitely do his best. Guarding the Nantian Castle! In addition, we have to persuade Xu Bree to lend us his soldiers and horses, what do you think?"

Zhao Junsheng's proposal moved Hua Mulan's heart, and made her give up such a good opportunity to attack Rouran. She didn't want to let it go. I talked to them about the ideas I had discussed with Zhao Junsheng.

Seeing that Mona Loujin had lent soldiers and horses to Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng, Xu Brae agreed to lend them soldiers and horses after thinking about it. Mulan led the army back.

Before the afterglow of the setting sun completely dissipated, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan set off with 200 people, and there were still 100 people guarding Nantianbao.

······

The prairie barbarians have a pure and honest side, but also an extremely cruel and cunning side. They treat people sincerely, but they are extremely cruel to the enemy. When they attack, they often take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, which is unexpected.

She Lun is such a person. He led his army to run seventy or eighty miles a day at the normal marching speed of cavalry. Although he was not exhausted after running, he lost his energy when he wanted to attack.

Under normal circumstances, the leading general must let the soldiers rest for one night, recharge their energy, and launch an attack early the next morning, or walk a day's journey for a day and a half, so that the soldiers and horses still have enough There are still relatively few people like She Lun who have physical strength and energy to attack the enemy.
