my wife is mulan

Cui Hao is a loyal believer in Taoism, and he has always advocated Taoism. He is very dissatisfied with the current Buddhism in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Qianzhi received him to live in his own home, asked for advice day and night, and then recommended Kou Qianzhi to the emperor. Tuoba Tao didn't care much about Kou Qianzhi at first, but because it was recommended by Cui Hao, he issued an order to let Kou Qianzhi enter the palace to have an audience , this sight made Tuoba Tao start to like and value him, and later because Kou Qianzhi's prediction of military and state affairs was extremely accurate, Tuoba Tao was more convinced of him, so he canonized him as a national teacher.

Kou Qian was startled, and immediately asked, "Where did you say that?"

Cui Hao immediately murmured in a low voice, and the two discussed secretly for a long time before they separated and acted separately.

That night, Cui Hao went to the palace overnight to meet with Tuoba Tao.

Tuoba Tao yawned and asked: "Cui Qing, why did you come to see me so late!"

"Your Majesty, Buddhism has developed rapidly in recent years, and there are more and more Shamen monks. These people are not engaged in production, but they also make friends with officials and generals, buy a lot of land and houses, and there are folk believers who offer a lot of money and food. The monks of the upper class are extravagant. Extreme desire, all kinds of evil, countless authors, great harm! This is the evidence collected by the monks against our court, please have a look at it, Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Tao felt that the situation was serious, so he immediately took the memorial and read it. The more he read it, the more shocking he became. After reading it, he remembered the matter of Wan Yutong. Return to vulgarity?He immediately said angrily: "It's lawless! Cui Qing, you come to draw up the decree. From the date of promulgation of the edict, everyone under the age of 50, regardless of monks and nuns, will return to the vulgar! From the princes to the common people, private rearing is strictly prohibited." Shamen, and hand over the hidden Shamen within a time limit, if there is any concealment, the whole family will be punished."

"According to the order!"

As soon as the edict was promulgated, it immediately caused a huge disturbance, and there were a lot of discussions between the ruling and opposition parties. What's more, they urged Tuoba Tao to take back his order in the court.

Zhao Junsheng, who presided over the training in Nantianbao, received a letter from Zongai, which mentioned that the emperor was going to send troops to Rouran. Within a month or two, Zhao Junsheng was asked to prepare for this battle. To get some credit, he can speak for Zhao Junsheng in front of the emperor.

In addition, Zong Ai also mentioned in the letter that Wan Yutong probably initiated the emperor's decree to destroy Buddhism.

Zhao Junsheng was stunned after reading the letter: "I'm sorry, it can't be, the truth behind Tuoba Tao's extermination of Buddha is because of a woman?"

Chapter 345

In April, the temperature in the northern country warmed up, the sky was blue, the sun was shining brightly, the land under the shady mountains was fertile, the weeds grew out of the soil, and the fields were covered with a thick layer of green.

In the distance, two military generals, a man and a woman, rode their horses and galloped past. A gust of spring breeze blew in, and countless cattle, sheep and horses emerged from the weeds.

Seeing this scene, the man on horseback couldn't help singing loudly: "Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields, the sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep."

When the female general next to him heard this, isn't this the boundary of Chilechuan under the Yin Mountain?I also felt that the poem was quite artistic, so I said softly, "Brother Junsheng is so talented!"

Where is there any good literary talent?It was just a "borrowed" recitation. Zhao Junsheng blushed for a while when Hua Mulan praised him, and laughed loudly: "It's all about expressing feelings. I can't do it on weekdays! It's getting late, let's hurry up." Hurry up to Jinling Camp for dinner!"

"it is good!"

A month ago, Wan Dugui and Hua Mulan were ordered to lead the Huaishuo Township garrison to Nantianbao and stationed there. This time, the Jinling Camp sent people to ask Zhao Junsheng and Wan Dugui to discuss military affairs. The time is not long, and it is still necessary to get familiar with the soldiers and generals, so Hua Mulan is given the task of participating in the discussion of military affairs, and Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng will go to the Jinling Camp together.

The two arrived at the marshal Xingyuan of the Jinling camp at dusk. The commander of the Jinling camp and Yongchang Wang Tuobajian saw the two arrived, and immediately sent people to take Yuan He from Woye Town, General Yan Pu from Xiaoqi, Gu Bi, Chang Shi Jiangyuan, Master Bo Yuji and some other generals and officers called the Shuai Zhang to discuss military affairs. At the same time, the cooks prepared meals, wine and meat and sent them to the Shuai Zhang for everyone to enjoy.

As the sky darkened, several oil lamps were lit in the huge handsome tent.

The soldiers came in one file at a time with wine, meat and food, and placed them on each low table in turn.

Tuoba Jian opened his mouth and said to the generals: "I know that the generals have not eaten yet, so I specially ordered the cooks to prepare wine and meat meals. I will discuss military affairs while eating!"

All the generals stood up together and clasped their fists: "Thank you, my lord!"

"Sit, sit!" Tuoba Jian pressed his hand, and when the generals sat down again, he poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "The decree has arrived, and His Majesty will lead an army of [-] to Jinling in a few days." Big camp, let me prepare for the expedition. The specific strategy for dispatching troops has not yet been determined. The garrison of my Jinling camp will definitely go to the expedition. As for which soldiers and horses will be sent out, which soldiers and horses will stay behind, and which soldiers and horses will be responsible for the luggage Escort, this is the focus of my discussion this time, and you can express whatever you think!"

As soon as Tuoba Jian's words fell, General Yan Pu stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the last general's cavalry army is all cavalry, and staying in the Jinling camp will not play much role, and my cavalry army is a middle soldier. The main duty is to conquer the outside world, so the final general asked the prince to let the Xiao cavalry army participate in the battle against Rouran!"

Yuan He, the town general of the Woye Army, also stood up and clasped his fists to Tuoba Jian at this time and said, "My lord, you also know that my Woye Army was attacked by the Rouran people in Shengle City last year and the whole army was annihilated. This is a great shame for my Woye Army. I swear that I will find the Rouran people to avenge my shame, please let my Wo Ye army go out!"

Hua Mulan also stood up heroically and said, "My lord, my Huaishuo army has already stationed in Nantian Castle, and the soldiers are already ready to go out!"

Seeing these generals stand up one by one to volunteer, Tuoba Jian should be very happy, but now he has a headache, they are going to fight, who will stay to guard the Jinling camp?

Tuoba Jian touched his forehead, couldn't help laughing and said, "You all have to go to war, can't you ignore the Jinling Camp? Your Majesty's decree has clearly stipulated that the Jinling Camp will be used as the storage place for the Rouran expedition. , We must leave heavy troops to garrison!"

Zhao Junsheng thought to himself, don't look at the fact that staying in the Jinling camp has nothing to gain, but this is a fat job, and the luggage of an army of [-] to [-] has to be transferred here, so there is enough oil and water here, and besides, most of his men are infantry, and the infantry is here. It won't play much role on the grassland. If you equip a lot of long-range gong nu, you can take a trip, but if you don't have a lot of long-range gong nu, go to the grassland to find it.

Rouran's trouble is the rhythm of courting death.

Besides, his cavalry has just been trained, and there are still some tactics that he has not come to practice. He has spent a lot of energy training and pulling these cavalry, even if he loses only one, he feels distressed. Not yet.

Zhao Junsheng also remembered the contents of the letter sent by Zongai. It's not that he hadn't thought about it. He participated in the battle against Rouran and tried to get some credit, but he thought about it carefully and stayed at the Jinling Camp And the defense line of Nantianbao, ensuring the safety of this line of defense and the Jinling camp is actually a great achievement.

So Zhao Junsheng stood up and clasped his fists to Tuobajian and said, "Your Majesty, since the other generals are going to march, the Jinling Camp and the Nantianbao defense line cannot be left unattended. The humble position itself is the commander of the Jinling Camp, and stay in Jinling and garrison Nantian. The defense line of the fort is also the responsibility of the general, so the general asks to stay on his own initiative!"

Tuoba Jian said with a smile: "Jun Sheng wants to stay, but he can't. This king is of great use to you. You must lead the army to go out this time. Tens of thousands of troops will consume a lot of food and grass. Someone has to escort the food and grass with the army." But go, you have more than 3000 cavalry under your command? When you set off, you took these 3000 cavalry and [-] infantry to escort the luggage and set off with the king! Since you are all Han Chinese under your command, Han Chinese have no responsibility and obligation to serve in the army. , so this king allows you to take all the seizures on the battlefield as your own, and the treatment is the same as that of soldiers!"

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help being discouraged, but he couldn't refuse. Now that Tuobajian allowed them to distribute the captured items on the battlefield, what else is there to say?Is it to get rich if you wear your head on your trouser belt to make a living?

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and you should obey it. It's just that all the generals are unwilling to stay behind. The Jinling camp needs someone to stay here, right?"

Tuoba Jian waved his hand: "This king has already made arrangements. After the army goes out, the Jinling camp and the defense line of Nantianbao should be relatively safe. This king has decided to let the fifth sister stay and garrison the Jinling camp!"

The fifth princess Tuoba Yuling stood up and clasped her fists in agreement: "Obey!"

Tuoba Jian said to Zhao Junsheng again: "Junsheng, in order to unify the deployment and dispatch, during the war, the defenders on the front line from Nantianbao to Da'e Mountain will be controlled by the Fifth Sister temporarily, is it okay?"

Zhao Junsheng didn't dare to hesitate, lest arousing Tuobajian's suspicion, he readily agreed: "Obey!"

He had to take away 600 cavalry and 1000 infantry when he set out on the expedition, which was already more than 2000 people. At this time, he had a total of [-] people under his command. Min Zhuang, these people are no longer important, even if Tuoba Yuling forcibly recruits them, the loss will not be great.

After returning to Nantian Castle, Zhao Junsheng immediately sent a large number of infantry, minzhuang, and chariots to Jinling Camp to escort the luggage. These days, there has been a steady stream of luggage from all over the country to Jinling Camp, and the luggage hoarded in Jinling Camp has piled up like a mountain , Zhao Junsheng sent people to transfer part of the luggage to Nantianbao.

For five or six days in a row, a large number of carts traveled between Jinling Camp and Nantianbao every day.

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists again and said, "Since the lord has entrusted the luggage to the humble official, the humble official must ensure that the army's logistics supplies will not be interrupted. The lord also knows that Yinshan is a barrier between us and the Rouran people. There is still a way to go through the Yin Mountain, but it is not easy to pass the luggage through the Yin Mountain. It is definitely not possible to use a cart. If you want to transport the luggage to the north of the Yin Mountain, you can only use horses. I also asked the prince to allocate a large number of horses. Otherwise, I won’t be able to take over the humble job!”

"This is a difficult problem!" Tuoba Jian frowned.

At this time, Bo Yuji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty's army is coming soon. Time is running out. If you want to gather enough horses in a short time, the only way is to recruit horses by force, but it is easy to cause resentment among the people." If you want to fight and resist, you can only promise a lease, and promise to the people that when the army returns from victory, you will pay some money on the basis of returning the horses!"

Tuoba Jian sighed: "It seems that this is the only way now! Junsheng, how many horses do you need?"

"At least [-] horses. To take care of these horses, I have to take [-] people away, otherwise there will not be enough horses.

Husband, there is no way to drive these horses carrying luggage! "

Tuoba Jian immediately agreed: "Well, this king allows you to collect horses from surrounding counties and counties to carry luggage, and return and pay some money when you return from victory in the future!"

Zhao Junsheng knew that even with the authorization of Tuobajian, it was not easy to recruit [-] horses in a short period of time. If he wanted to collect so many horses as soon as possible, he could only go to those horse dealers. There are quite a few horse merchants, but most of them have backers and backers. To recruit their horses, it's no wonder they are willing to hand over the horses obediently!

Zhao Junsheng is not afraid of offending these people. He is a Han himself who is not welcomed by Xianbei people. After all, there are too many lice and he is not afraid of itchiness. After he and Hua Mulan returned to Nantianbao, they immediately ordered Gao Xiu and Cao Jiao to take them. Bing went to the horse dealers to collect horses.

Of course, this group of people committed crimes if they refused. Gao Xiu and Cao Jiao had already received Zhao Junsheng's order to rob them if they didn't give them to them. They would forcefully collect them in the name of the court. If the horse dealers didn't hand over the horses, If you want to fight against the army, I'm sorry, but it will be punished as collaborating with the enemy. Not only will all the horses be confiscated, but people will also be arrested. Anyone who resists will be killed.

After confiscating the properties of two big horse dealers, arresting them and their families and beheading them, the other horse dealers got scared and didn't dare to fight against the officers and soldiers, and obediently handed over their horses, but they didn't give up , Complained to the masters and backers behind them.

Because of this, Zhao Junsheng was called to the Jinling camp by Tuoba Jian, and Tuoba Jian pointed at him: "You, you, this king authorized you to collect horses, but I didn't let you be so reckless, look at you, copied The homes of the two big horse dealers ransacked all over the house, causing other horse dealers to obediently hand over their horses. This is all right, the backers and masters behind them all came to this king one by one to accuse them! What are you doing? No, why do you have to mess with those big horse dealers? Can't you go to those little people to collect horses?"

Zhao Junsheng complained: "My lord, you also know that time is running out. It is too late to collect horses from those ordinary people! How much favor do those big horse dealers and their backers receive from the court? Now it's time for them to contribute to the court. But they are ungrateful and ungrateful, if you don’t kill such people, who else can you kill?”
