my wife is mulan

In the early morning of the next day, the army led by more than 6 soldiers and millions of cattle, sheep and horses. The team lined up for more than ten miles. There were countless flags of various colors fluttering in the wind. Wherever the army passed, smoke and dust shot straight into the sky, which was quite spectacular.

In order to bring back the millions of plundered cattle, sheep and horses, Zhao Junsheng's logistics battalion undertook this task.

According to the capture on the battlefield, the captured cattle and sheep should be returned to the public and distributed to each army for food, and the captured horses and other property should be distributed by each army. The millions of horses should have been the responsibility of each army, but Tuoba Jian wanted to speed up the march. , ordered Zhao Junsheng's supply battalion to take over the task of driving all the cattle, sheep and horses.

Zhao Junsheng's manpower is not enough, he can only bring all the Rouran captives in the army to help herd the livestock. These Rouran captives will return to Rouran with the sending mission when Princess Yanran of Rouran is married a year later. This is also part of the peace agreement.

Facts have proved that peace talks are still very necessary and useful. At least the army has not encountered any Rouran army during the distance from Difuchi, let alone been attacked.

The army rested for a day near Difuchi, and then continued to set off, marching southeast along the northern foot of Zhuoxie Mountain. In fact, the main force of the Rouran Khanate was hiding in Zhuoxie Mountain at this time, only forty miles away from the Wei army. , as long as the Wei army goes south for another forty miles, they will definitely find the camp of the Rouran people. At that time, there will be a battle.

If the cavalry cannot be used to fight, it will inevitably be defeated, and even the entire army will be wiped out, and the Rouran Khanate may even be wiped out.

It wasn't until Wei Jun crossed the gorge in the mountains of Junji Mountain and caught a few spying Rouran sentries on the way to Bigan City. After interrogation, Tuoba Jian knew that the main force of Rouran was hidden in Zhuoxie Mountain.

When he got the report, Tuoba Jian even regretted it a little. If he had entered another forty miles at that time, it would have been a different situation.

On July [-]th, the army arrived in Bigan City, where there was still a large amount of food and supplies left by the West Route Army two months ago, just enough to feed the army.

Here, the army did not continue to advance eastward, and Tuoba Jian called all the ministers to discuss matters.

In a room in Bigan, civil and military forces were divided into two sides, and Tuoba Jian sat on the main seat. He looked at the ministers and asked, "Masters, where will the army go next?"

In fact, there is no need for military generals to participate in this kind of military affairs. In order to show the importance he attaches to the generals, Tuoba Jian ordered all the generals to come to the imperial meeting. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were also among the generals.

Counselor Yu Ji first stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in order to achieve the unexpected effect, I suggest that the army continue to march eastward to Wuchuan, and then go south to enter Shengle City through Baidaoling. Use Shengle City as a springboard to attack the defense line of Jinling Camp and break through Immediately after that, move eastward without giving the people in Pingcheng too much time to prepare!"

Yu Ji is Tuoba Jian's confidant, he has always been by his side, and has won his trust. After he spoke, no one else dared to express their opinions easily.

Tuoba Jian felt that this was abnormal, he was not clear about the situation of the Jinling defense line, how many people are there in the Jinling camp now?Is Du Chao still in charge?What's the situation in Pingcheng?

Tuoba Jian asked Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Qing, I asked you to send someone to inquire about the news about Jinling Daying and Heping City, how is it going?"

Zhao Junsheng hesitated for a moment, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I just received the news, but... I dare not say it!"

These words made Tuoba Jian and all the ministers sink in their hearts, and they all had a premonition that the situation might be extremely bad.

Tuoba Jian took two deep breaths in a row, collected himself and raised his hand: "Zhao Qing, but it's okay, I won't add any crimes, even if the sky falls, I can stand it!"

"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, thinking about his words, "At present, it is certain that the news of Emperor Daxing's death was spread in our territory in a very fast way after being detected by the Rouran people. The purpose is to To cause civil strife in Wei, so that His Majesty can withdraw his troops!"

"After the news spread, Shangling Liu Jie of Pingcheng was the first to get the news. He united Nankang Gong Di Lin, You Cheng Zhang Song, and Ting Wei Fu Loulian. Arrest him and put him in prison, and successfully seized the military power of the Pingcheng defenders!"

"Afterwards, this group of people supported Leping Wang Pi as a false emperor. In order to better control the major families and soldiers in Pingcheng, the false emperor canonized the prince Huang as the crown prince, won over Du Chao, the king of Yangping, and removed Ba Basong from the He was released from the prison cell and got the support of the Baba family! Regarding the news about Pingcheng, I am still sending people to inquire, and if there is any follow-up news, it will come as soon as possible!"

"The defenders stationed in Woye Town and Huaishuo Town are left by the West Route Army. They haven't turned to the puppet emperor yet. I have sent people to investigate. Although there are not many defenders in these two towns, they are no problem. , His Majesty can rest assured to send someone to take over!"

"In the Guanzhong area, Chang'an town general Pi Baozi and Tongwan city guard general, Changshan king, and general Tuobasu are unclear about their attitudes!"

"The Jinling camp is still guarded by Yangping King Du Chao, and the number of defenders has increased to 5000. The defenders on the defense line from Nantianbao to Da'eshan are still the original defenders. If you want to command the Jinling camp, I can come forward and persuade Xue An to sacrifice himself to His Majesty!"

Until Zhao Junsheng finished all the news received in one breath, Tuoba Jian and all the ministers and generals were covered with a thick shadow, and the situation was extremely grim.

There was no sound in the room for a long time, until Cui Hao stood up.

"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, I think some adjustments must be made on the basis of Yu Shizhong's suggestion!"

Tuoba Jian asked: "How to adjust? Cui Qing, tell me in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I thought that before marching towards the Jinling camp, we had to resolve our worries, namely Tuobasu, the king of Changshan who guarded Tongwan City, and the leather leopard who guarded Chang'an. I suggested that we send eloquent people to meet Tuo Ba Su and Pi Baozi, persuade them to serve His Majesty!"

Tuoba Jian nodded involuntarily. This suggestion is very good. If Tuoba Su and Pi Baozi can be persuaded, the army can attack the Jinling camp without worrying about their backs.

Also, Tuobasu is an important official of the clan, he has always been fair and strict, and has a very high prestige among the clan, if Tuobasu can support him, at least more than half of the important officials of the clan will support him.

Tuoba Jian asked: "I don't know which Qing family Cui Qing thinks can take on this important task?"

Cui Hao turned around and looked at the important ministers present, his eyes stayed on Baba Daosheng for a while, then he bowed his hands to Tuobajian and said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Baba Daosheng, an old minister, with his ability, he will surely be able to convince King Changshan He and Leopard are loyal to His Majesty!"

Tuoba Jian looked at Daoist Baba, "Would you like to go to the Qing family?"

Ba Ba Daosheng pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and agreed: "Go back to Your Majesty, the old minister is willing! It's just that the old minister is old and frail, and has no strength to restrain the chicken. He is worried that he will encounter bad people on the way. The death of the old minister is a minor matter. It is a sin to delay your majesty's important event." , Your Majesty, please send a general to accompany you as guards!"

"I promised the Qing family, but I don't know which general the Qing family wants to guard?"

Baba Daosheng glanced at the generals, and his eyes fell on Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng only felt a chill, and he thought to himself, this old guy won't avenge himself, right?

"Your Majesty, why don't you invite General Zhao and General Hua to escort the veterans, how about?"

"It's over, I'm shooting myself in the foot with a rock!" Zhao Junsheng cursed in his heart, you damn old guy, I just scolded you a few times in court, I didn't expect you to hold grudges like this, why didn't you call Your son Babakang is going with you?

Chapter 412 Husband travels thousands of miles and wife worries

Tuoba Jian immediately decreed: "Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan obey the order, and order you two to take Baba Daosheng, a bodyguard of fifty riders, to Tongwan City and Chang'an to ensure his safety!"

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan looked at each other, stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty, I can escort Wei Qing to go, but there will be no one in charge of the supply camp. Tens of thousands of troops will eat, drink and scatter in the supply camp. You must not If something goes wrong, I suggest that General Hua stay and take charge of the supply camp affairs on behalf of the minister, and General Hua can still contact the scouts sent to scout the horses, and report the news about Pingcheng and Jinling Camp to His Majesty in a timely manner!"

Tuoba Jian forgot about this, and it was really inappropriate to let Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan go together, so he agreed: "Okay, let Hua Mulan temporarily take over the post of General Zhao!"

"I obey the order!" Hua Mulan camped.

Hua Mulan retreated, and Zhao Junsheng said again: "Your Majesty, this mission is of great importance and cannot be missed. To ensure everything is safe, please order two thousand catties of gold and two carts of jewels and jade!"

The gold, jewels and jades that were robbed in the Northern Expedition this time were not too much, more than a hundred carts were loaded, and the mere two thousand gold and the jewels and jades on both sides were not worth mentioning.

But Tuoba Jian still asked: "Why do you need so much money? When you return after your success, I will reward you very much!"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know much about King Changshan, but I know that General Leather Leopard loves money. Since Leather Leopard has this hobby, why doesn't Your Majesty follow suit? The money is just a drop in the bucket to Your Majesty. I think it's worth it to exchange them for the loyalty of the Skinned Leopard General!"

"Hahaha..." Tuobajian laughed loudly, "What General Zhao said is true, I agree! Zong Ai, pass on my order, after arriving in Woye Town, transfer two thousand gold and two carts of jewels and jade to Zhao Take the general away!"

Zong Ai bowed and agreed: "Your servant obeys the order!"

Daoist Baba also said to Tuoba Jian: "Your Majesty, to persuade King Changshan, you don't need to prepare money, and you don't need to be promoted to rank. You only need to bring his son Tuoba Kexiling. But this leopard is different. The old minister I thought that in addition to money, he should also be given an official position!"

Tuoba Jian thought for a while, and then told Cui Hui: "Draft the decree, add the skinned leopard as General Anxi, the general of Chang'an Town!"

Cui Hui immediately began to draw up an imperial edict, and quickly finished writing it, and showed it to Tuoba Jian for review, and Tuoba Jian stamped the emperor's jade seal after reading it once.

It took five days for the army to march from Bigan City to Woye Town. Tuoba Jian sent Wan Dugui to lead a thousand soldiers to Huaishuo Town as an outpost. The main force of the army temporarily stationed in Woye Town. Zhao Junsheng brought fifty The cavalry escorted Baba Daosheng to Tongwan City.

At the gate of Woye City, a group of people saw Baba Daosheng, Zhao Junsheng and others off.

Hua Mulan stood in front of Zhao Junsheng and helped him arrange the armor and cloak, and said while arranging: "I don't know if this errand can be completed, but it should be fine; if it doesn't work, you and Wei Weiqing will be in danger. Be careful and be careful!"

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand to hold Hua Mulan's hand, "I will pay attention to safety, don't you understand me? If I find something wrong, I will run away immediately. If I really want to escape, Tuobasu and Pi Baozi will not be able to keep me mine!"

"Fool, I know you will be fine on your own. The key is that there is another Daoist Baba. When the time comes, he will drag you down. How can you escape? If it really doesn't work, you can..."
