my wife is mulan

Tuoba Jian's mental state was not very good, he shook his head and didn't want to talk about the battle.

It was Yu Ji, an aide, who explained to Zhao Junsheng: "The army camped overnight in the north of Tunzuo Mountain. Because we didn't know the reality of the Rouran people, we didn't rush to march to Shengle City. We sent several scouts to Shengle City for two days in a row. To investigate the enemy's situation in the direction, but I didn't expect that these scouts would never return. During this period, our security forces also hunted down several Rouran scouts who tried to spy on our military situation!"

"Until the third day, the lord was worried about delaying the battle, so he ordered the army to approach Shengle City. Unexpectedly, after walking for half a day, he suddenly encountered Rouran's army! Until now, we still believe that this encounter was absolutely accidental, because at that time Rouran However, the army is five miles to the west of our army, and our army is five miles to the east of Rouran army. If the scouts on both sides had not discovered the existence of the opponent's army at the same time, I am afraid that both of us would pass by each other. But don't know it!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "In this way, it is indeed like Ou met by chance! Both sides must have been unprepared, and they must have rushed to the battle, right?"

Tuobajian sighed: "Hey, who's to say it's not? Since it was a chance encounter, they must have been unprepared. Whoever takes the lead will be much more likely to win, so they all rushed to the battle! Rouran people are very tenacious, They fought bloody battles with us for two hours, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but no one showed signs of retreating. At this moment, a strong wind blew up in the sky, blowing people's eyes hard. When the strong wind stopped, it was dark Now, the two sides can only gather their troops and retreat!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't know how much water Tuobajian and Yu Ji said, but the general situation should be true, and this cannot be concealed. There are so many people left in the Right Guard Army, and there are so many people, it is inevitable that there are too many people. If you want to conceal the truth of the war, you must Can't hide it.

In the afternoon, Zhao Junsheng sent off Hua Mulan and her [-] followers.

For the next three days, the defense line of Da'e Mountain, Tunzuo Mountain, and Nantian Castle was calm, but the imperial court's decree came down, asking An Yuan to stand by, and within five days at the latest, 5000 troops would rush over for reinforcements. An Yuan and the others were relieved a lot. In the eyes of An Yuan, Tuoba Jian and the others, five days could still be held.

"Dutong, Captain Cao asked the villain to come and report to Dutong. We found a very suspicious person in the market!" A soldier of the security team reported to Zhao Junsheng who was practicing martial arts.

Zhao Junsheng stopped to take a breath, put away his spear and asked, "Oh, what's so suspicious?"

"Returning to Dutong, this person inquired at the market about the surnames of the commanders, generals, deputy generals, and generals of the camp, how old they were, what specialties and abilities they had, and they inquired extremely carefully! In addition, this person is still observing the situation in the camp outside the camp wall!"

Zhao Junsheng felt the seriousness of this matter, he immediately

He threw the spear to Li Bao, took a towel to dry off his sweat, and immediately followed the security team soldiers who reported the news to the market.

In the tea shop opposite an inn in the market outside Daying, Cao Jiao was sitting in the tea shop with a few soldiers in plain clothes drinking tea. When he saw Zhao Junsheng walking over with Li Bao and others, he immediately Standing up and clasping fists: "Dutong!"

Zhao Junsheng pressed his hand, walked to the table and sat down and asked, "Tell me about the other party's situation!"

"Yes!" Cao Jiao Daying said, "This subordinate bought the clerk of the inn across the way, and asked him to report to his subordinates if he finds suspicious people. Every time he is given a little money, he will go to the security office this morning. The team reported to their subordinates that a guest came to their inn at dusk yesterday. Thinking of this person wandering around outside the camp all morning, and often lying on the outside of the wall to observe, the subordinates suspect that this person may be a spy sent by the Rouran people!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is this person in the inn now?"

"Yes, it's in Room No. [-] on the second floor. The window is facing the Market Street. Look up, counting from right to left, it's the third window!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and ordered: "Catch them immediately, I will lead someone to guard here, as long as this person jumps from the window, it will be difficult for him to escape, you take people into the inn and go upstairs, and let Bendu take him alive." !"

Chapter 293

"Follow me!" Cao Jiao waved his hands to several security soldiers in uniform, got up and walked across to the inn first.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed two peanuts from the table and chewed them in his mouth, and told Li Bao and the others: "Keep an eye on them, don't let anyone jump out of the window and run away!"

Li Bao reached out and grabbed the two big axes at his waist: "Don't worry, you can't run away! If he wants to run away, I, Li Bao, will chop him into meat paste and see if he can run away!"

"Hey, hey, what did you say? I just said, if you want to live, how can I interrogate him if you chop him into meat sauce? Could it be possible to take a pile of rotten meat back to make wontons?"

"Ouch—" the soldiers next to them couldn't take it anymore, and threw up on the side.

Cao Jiao led a few people into the inn. The innkeeper saw him bring people in, so he pointed to the second floor. Cao Jiao nodded and waved to the people behind him. go.

At this time, a young man happened to come down from the upstairs. This man was dark, but his eyes were shrewd and fierce. He saw Cao Jiao and others walking upstairs with knives in their hands. His expression changed, and he turned around immediately. run.

Seeing his flustered expression, Cao Jiao immediately yelled, "Stop!"

The more he shouted, the faster the man ran, thumped a few times, and ran into the corridor on the second floor in a blink of an eye.

"Catch me!" Cao Jiao was the first to chase towards the second floor with a knife in his hand, followed by several people behind him.

Before chasing up to the upstairs, they heard the sound of "bang" closing the door upstairs. Cao Jiao and the others rushed to the door of the third room on the left and pushed it with their hands, and the door was bolted.

Cao Jiao waved his hand and asked the soldiers to step aside. He took a step back and kicked his leg. With a "bang", the door was kicked open. When he looked up, he saw the man opened the window and released a bird. out.

"Catch him!" Cao Jiao yelled, and several soldiers rushed over with their knives in hand.

Seeing that the eagle had already flown away, the young man immediately pulled out a scimitar from his back to meet him fiercely, and the sound of clanging weapons came out of the window.

Zhao Junsheng and others were sitting in the opposite shop when the window on the second floor of the inn was suddenly pushed open and a bird flew out.

"Take a look!" A soldier next to him shouted.

As soon as Zhao Junsheng looked up, he saw a bird flying out of the pushed open window, "This is..."

The sound of fighting came from the window, and Zhao Junsheng looked at the birds flying into the sky, "Is that like an eagle?" He muttered, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Not good!" After speaking, he got up immediately He ran over and raised his hand and shot out a few embroidery needles.

The distance was too high, and the few embroidery needles shot failed to hit the eagle, and it flew away.

At this moment, a person jumped out of the window, and with a "touch", before he got up, he was surrounded by people led by Li Bao.

The young man glanced at Li Bao and the others with his eyes. There was a fierce light in his eyes, which turned into determination in a blink of an eye. He grabbed the scimitar and wiped it on his neck.

With a sound of "噗嗤", a bloody arrow shot to the ground, and the man lay down slowly, his body still twitching continuously.

Zhao Junsheng ran over to see this scene, turned his face away: "Hey, didn't you let you catch him alive? Why did you let him die?"

Li Bao looked like a child who had done something wrong, lowering his head: "Dutong, I..."

The man was hopeless, Zhao Junsheng knew that it was useless to blame Li Bao, he waved his hand and said, "Take him back, and let Cao Jiao search the inn room to see if he can find anything suspicious!"

"As ordered!"

Li Bao promised, ordered two soldiers to carry the body away, and sent someone into the inn to send a message to Cao Jiao.

Not long after, Cao Jiao came out of the inn carrying a bird cage covered with black cloth.

"Dutong, I found this from the room. There is also a bag with some gold and copper coins in it. There is also a cloth bag containing a few changes of clothes!"

Zhao Junsheng took the birdcage and looked at it. He removed the black cloth, revealing a large birdcage with a few bird feathers stuck inside.

"It seems that this man used this to bring the eagle to the market.

Yes, did you find anything to identify the man? "

Cao Jiao handed over a piece of bamboo, and Zhao Junsheng saw that the bamboo piece was engraved with characters and portraits of people. One of them is to check the authenticity before passing through the waterway pass.

In ancient times, the management of floating population was very strict, and this was even more so in the Northern Wei Dynasty, because population and household registration were related to the collection of taxes, corvee, and military service, and these were based on households. There are no household registration records to collect taxes, corvee and military service, and people who have migrated to other places cannot collect taxes, corvee and military service because they do not have their local household registration information, which will cause a lot of trouble for the court. loss.

In later generations, as long as you have a household registration and an ID card, you can travel all over the country, and you can go abroad with a passport, but this was not the case in ancient times. Ordinary civilians were generally not allowed to go out of the county. Students and businessmen engaged in commercial activities are allowed to go out of the county, but they must apply for a temporary ID card at the government.

The Qin Dynasty was the first dynasty to implement ID card management, requiring every person in the Qin Dynasty to have an ID card. This thing was called "Zhaoshen Post" at the time. I was reported by the store and arrested according to the body post.

In the dynasties after the Qin Dynasty, ID cards became scarce, why?The so-called identity refers to those who have "status". Only those with status have a certificate, and those without status do not have a certificate. Therefore, it has gradually become the patent of the privileged class. Ordinary people cannot leave the county at all. useless.

During the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, temporary ID cards were called passers-by, in the Song Dynasty they were called proofs, and in Ming and Qing Dynasties ID cards were called tooth cards and waist tags.

In many courts, only officials and aristocrats have ID cards. In the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty, talismans were used as ID cards. The materials are different. The better the material of the talisman, the higher the status of the person. and identity information.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a bamboo envoy talisman, which Li Yuan changed into a silver rabbit talisman, and later changed it into a fish talisman with a fish bag. Both are indispensable for anti-counterfeiting.In Wu Zetian's time, she believed that turtles were more noble than fish, so she changed the fish charms into turtle charms. The turtle charms of princes and officials above the third rank were all made of gold, and this is how the phrase "hanging a golden tortoise son-in-law" came about.
