"you say!"

"The military master also knows that his subordinates have seized a batch of war horses from the Rouran people. This subordinate wants to ask the military to allow his subordinates to freely sell these horses to private merchants!"

Wan Dugui was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help pointing at Zhao Junsheng and said with a smile: "I already knew that you are a greedy master! According to the regulations, the captured horses, which are suitable for military horses, cannot be sold to the people. Will know that you want to sell these horses to private traders to get more money, right?"

Zhao Junsheng was noncommittal.

"How many horses do you have?"

"Five thousand horses!"

Wan Dugui thought for a while, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Well, this time the Right Guards lost a lot of horses in the battle, I will go to tell Marshal An, presumably he is willing to pay a price higher than the market price. Buy this batch of horses in your hands for twice the price!"

"In that case, I would like to thank the general!"

The price of horses in the north is much lower than that in the south of the Yellow River. A high-quality horse can be sold for six gold when the price is the highest in the south of the Yellow River, and it can be sold for four gold when it is the lowest. Only the best horses can be used as military horses; In the north, there are too many horses, and there is not much demand for horses among the people. Even the best horses can only be sold for two gold.

Thanks to the incentive mechanism of the Northern Wei court for the army, all the captured soldiers were privately owned by the soldiers, which made many soldiers who had won battles become very rich from nothing, especially those middle and high-level officers and generals. Many people have become billionaires after one battle.

What is the concept of five thousand war horses?Calculated according to twice the market price in the north, a horse can be sold for four gold, and five thousand horses can be sold for twenty thousand gold.Of course, Zhao Junsheng didn't own the gold alone. He only got [-]% of the money, Hua Mulan got [-]%, and the remaining [-]% was distributed to two idiots, Monaloujin and Xu Brai.

Coming out of the dental tent, Hua Mulan was extremely angry at Zhao Junsheng's promise to Wan Du to return: "Brother Junsheng, how could you agree to this, this is obviously a fraud, to fool the court!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look around and saw no one around, so he said, "Mulan, don't you understand what General Wan said just now? Our official position is too small, our status is too low, and we don't have a strong backer behind us. So what if we don't want to? It's not a big loss for you if they do this, it's just that your credit has been reduced, but it's not that An Yuan didn't accept our favor, and he will definitely promote and reuse you in the future Also, you have to understand that we are not the ones who cheat the court! If we don’t agree, they can still cover up all the truth, and we have offended General Wan because of this, and life will be hard in the future!”

Hua Mulan pursed her lips, but said nothing.

At dusk two days later, An Yuan sent people to deliver the gold to the supply camp and took away [-] war horses.

Zhao Junsheng and his subordinates Pei Jin, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu and others watched the gold-giver sent by An Yuan take away all the horses, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's easy now. These [-] horse mouths are really powerful. In just two days, I ate up the forage that I had stored for two months!" Zhao Junsheng sighed.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the camp, Zhao Junsheng saw the horses passing by, and Hua Mulan walked over from the opposite side. He waved: "Go back first!"

After clasping their fists and saluting, everyone turned and left.

Zhao Junsheng greeted him with a smile on his face: "Mulan, why are you here? How many days do you have to rest?"

Hua Mulan smiled: "There is no time to rest, General Wan urged me to go back to Nantianbao as soon as possible yesterday, I came to say goodbye to you, I have to leave early tomorrow morning!"

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the lake to talk, and stay for dinner later!"

"Ok!"

The two rode to the lake four miles away, and tied the horse to a Populus euphratica tree. Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand. Hua Mulan blushed when she saw this, but she still reached out to hold it. The two held hands and walked together by the lake. .

"Mulan, what do you think of General Wan?" Zhao Junsheng said while holding Hua Mulan's hand and shaking it.

Hua Mulan hesitated for a moment.

I didn't want to talk about my boss behind my back, but after thinking about it, Zhao Junsheng was her fiancé, not an outsider, and what the two said would not be heard by outsiders, so I thought for a while and said: "I always think that General Wan is too utilitarian. !"

Zhao Junsheng chuckled: "It's not just that he is too utilitarian. He looks like a vulgar general, but his scheming is also very deep. Take the incident two days ago as an example. If he really treats us as his confidants, he can definitely tell us directly. Said, but he beat around the bush, threatening and intimidating, and pretending to be a good guy!"

Hua Mulan stopped, turned around and looked at Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, why did you mention this? Do you have the idea of ​​changing the family?"

Thinking of Wan Dugui's personality, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help feeling a little bit bitter, and shook his head: "Don't say that there is no suitable and worthy new employer, even if there is, how can you easily change the family? First of all, the barrier in my heart It’s not easy, and secondly, it will leave the world with the name of disloyalty! Famous ministers and generals in the past have occasionally served the two masters, but they were forced to do so, and they were not in a desperate situation. As long as their brains are not confused, no one will do so!”

With a sound of "puchi", Hua Mulan laughed and said, "Brother Junsheng, don't ask too much. Who in this world is without flaws? Who can be perfect? ​​According to your standard, even the emperor will not be perfect." It’s not worthy of your allegiance! Well, well, stop worrying about this matter, teach me how to fish, if you can catch fish, I’ll cook fish for you tonight!”

Zhao Junsheng readily agreed: "Okay!"

.

Chapter 217

"Here comes the fish!" Hua Mulan walked into the tent with a plate of steamed fish and placed it on a low table, and shouted to Zhao Junsheng with chopsticks: "Brother Junsheng, the dishes are ready, let's eat!"

"Here we come!" Zhao Junsheng put down the book in his hand, got up and walked over from behind the desk.

He looked at a plate of steamed fish, a stack of stewed beef, a stack of fried wild celery, and a bowl of fish soup on the low table, and said with a smile: "Oh, tonight's meal is very rich, no, this I need some wine and food to make the atmosphere! Then whoever, Guo Yi, get some wine!"

"Come on, Captain!"

Guo Yi came over with a jar of wine, put two earthenware bowls on the low table, poured the wine, and backed out.This kid was drilled by the personal captain Li Bao for two months, and many of his bad habits and problems were eliminated. Now he is still training under Li Bao during the day, and only comes to do some servant work after the training is over.

Hua Mulan picked up the wine bowl and took a long gulp, her throat felt like it was on fire, her face flushed instantly, she swallowed the wine forcefully, stretched out her sweet tongue and kept fanning the wind with her hands.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Junsheng couldn't stop laughing when he saw it, "This is no ordinary wine, come here, let's eat a la carte!" He said and put a piece of fish in Hua Mulan's bowl.

Hua Mulan ate the fish with chopsticks, and ate a few slices of stewed beef in a row, and finally regained her strength, "Brother Junsheng, where did you get the wine, it's so spicy?"

"I made it myself, there is no other place!"

"This wine is so spicy, it should be able to keep out the cold when it's cold, do you have any more, give me two jars?" Hua Mulan said while eating vegetables.

Zhao Junsheng took a sip, "If others don't have it, I will give it to you no matter how much you want! How can two jars be enough? I still have five jars here, take them all away! But I can tell you, this wine is strong. It’s too big, you’ll get drunk if you drink too much, don’t exceed one bowl at most!”

"Well, I see!"

The meal was very warm, the two of them hadn't had a meal like this for a long time, after a bowl of wine, Zhao Junsheng was a little drunk, and he talked about Rouran with Hua Mulan: "Northern barbarians are like spring." Grazing scattered in summer, and gathered in autumn to go south. This time, the Rouran people lost 1 horses here, and the soldiers and horses of Shengle City..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng remembered something and woke up instantly. He looked at Hua Mulan and asked, "Mulan, did you tell General Wan that all the horses of the Rouran cavalry in Shengle City were poisoned to death?"

"No!" Hua Mulan shook her head. She immediately thought of something and got up suddenly: "Brother Junsheng, you mean to say that the Rouran cavalry in Shengle City without horses are like wolves without teeth and claws. Sending out troops will definitely defeat them and conquer Shengle City, right?"

Zhao Junsheng took a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, "Do you remember Princess Tuzhen? What do you think of her?"

The figure and face of Princess Tuzhen appeared in Hua Mulan's mind, and she couldn't help being shocked: "Princess Tuzhen is the first woman I have ever seen who has both intelligence, martial arts, and riding and archery skills. I shot an arrow, but I have to admit that she is a rare woman in the world!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "You're right! We haven't wiped out all of Shelun's soldiers and horses, and some of them have escaped. When they escape back to Shengle City, you think that with Princess Tuzhen's wise plan, What will happen to her? I dare say that the Rouran people must have run away under her leadership. She will not put her and the five thousand Rouran soldiers in danger. Shengle City must be an empty city now. We just need to send people there Just accept it, there is no need to use a knife or a gun at all!"

Hua Mulan looked excited. She looked at Zhao Junsheng and opened her mouth, hesitating, not knowing how to speak.

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "Okay, I know you want to tell General Wan about this matter. Although I still have a bit of grudges about what General Wan did, I am not a person who abandons public officials for personal reasons. You go!"

"I'm full, send someone to bring me the wine later, I'm leaving first!" Hua Mulan got up and ran out after speaking.

Zhao Junsheng was alone in a daze for a while, picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat, and didn't put down his chopsticks to wash up and go to sleep until the bowl of wine was finished.

mulan back

When he arrived at the camp, he immediately reported to Wan Dugui that all the horses in Shengle City had been poisoned to death. Wan Dugui immediately cheered up and rushed to the right guard camp with Hua Mulan to report this to An Yuan.

An Yuan attached great importance to it, and convened the generals and schools of the three armies overnight to discuss, and dispatched [-] cavalry in the middle of the night, led by the deputy general of the right guard, Pi Baozi, to Shengle City overnight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Pi Baozi sent a messenger back to the Jinling Camp to report to An Yuan that he had led his army to recover Shengle City. The news spread, and the entire Jinling Camp erupted. Send the battle report to recover Shengle City.
