Other ministers and generals had to stand up to donate food and lend part of the food to the court.

In the end, only Hua Mulan remained.

The attendant Yi Huo asked: "General Hua, all the fellow generals have donated food and also borrowed food to the court, how about you?"

Hua Mulan snorted coldly: "Hmph, this general is not as rich as your family. I don't know where the [-] mu of fertile land that His Majesty rewarded this general is. What kind of donation will I get? How about borrowing a thousand stones from Yi Shizhong?" To General Ben, will Ben donate it again?"

Yi Jue was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled mischievously, "General Hua is joking, I have no food left at home!"

"There is no food left, what are you yelling about? I think you are trying to find fault with this general, are you?" Hua Mulan clenched her fists as she said.

Yi Huo was so frightened that his face turned pale. He Duoluo was beaten like a pig's head. He didn't want to be beaten all over the floor, so he quickly hid behind Tuoba's gym, screaming while running. : "Help, Your Majesty, this humble minister can't stand this wretch's beating!"

When Hua Mulan heard Yi Jue calling her a wicked woman, she immediately exploded, "What are you talking about? I won't tear your mouth apart!"

"Your Majesty, I have impeached Hua Mulan for being disrespectful in front of the palace. There is no dignity!" Le'an King Tuoba Fan stood up and clasped his fists and said.

Yi Jue also immediately said: "The minister also impeached Hua Mulan for beating the court ministers!"

Dazai Changying echoed: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"

"My minister agrees!"

Immediately one after another, a large number of ministers and military generals stood up to impeach Hua Mulan, saying that Hua Mulan had no restraint, did not pay attention to the emperor at all, and would beat people if he was unhappy. This court is a place to discuss state affairs. If everyone is like a flower Like Mulan, wouldn't the world laugh at her?

Tuoba Jian felt quite a headache, Hua Mulan was talented and strong in martial arts, and he needed such a general at this time, but most of the ministers and generals impeached her, which made it difficult for him.

After thinking about it, Tuoba Jian still decided to let her go back, otherwise there would be no peace in the court, so he said to Huamu: "Hua Aiqing, you have made great achievements in battle these few times, I wanted to give you a promotion." Jue, but you have only been promoted to the nobility not long ago, and it is not a good thing to be promoted too quickly. You are still young, and you will still have opportunities in the future. This time, I will not give you a promotion. Two hundred gold, one hundred thousand money, and three hundred cattle and sheep! Wuchuan Town is still building a fortress, so prepare yourself and go back to Wuchuan Town within three days. Guard Wuchuan for me, and don’t let the Rouran people enter again. Sene!"

Although there is a sense of dislike and distribution, this is exactly what Hua Mulan wants. She doesn't want to stay in Pingcheng at all. Now that the emperor is driving her back, she is exactly what she wants, and immediately bows down: "I obey the order!"

Coming out of the palace, Hua Mulan took several eunuchs, Li Baojingxin and others to receive the emperor's reward. She didn't stop for a moment, and asked the oiran, Li Bao, Jingxin and others to pack all the gold and copper coins rewarded by the emperor into boxes. , sold all the cattle and sheep rewarded by the emperor, and set off westward that day.

That night, a fire broke out in the military camp outside the city. All the equipment used to attack the city was burned to ashes in the fire, and even the craftsmen escaped cleanly.

Emperor Tuobajian was furious when he heard the news, and beheaded all the officials and soldiers guarding the siege equipment. As for the cause of the fire, there was no way to find out, so it could only be ignored.

Two days later, a messenger ran into the palace panting and reported to Tuoba Jian, who was convening the ministers, that He Duoluo led the army to pursue the puppet emperor Tuobapi and his party, but they were ambushed in Feihuxing, and thousands of troops were lost. Exhausted, He Duoluo fled back with only three hundred people.

Feihu Xing is the junction of Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain. The terrain there is dangerous and the mountain road is narrow and long. The army cannot pass through quickly.

He Duoluo was eager to make contributions, and made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. He did not observe the terrain during the pursuit, and forgot the danger of the flying fox. The army was attacked by arrows and stones on the narrow mountain road, and the result was naturally doomed. .

Cui Hao suggested to Tuobajian that the time to pursue Tuobapi has passed, and the most important thing at this time is to send envoys to all parts of Bingzhou to win the support of governors, prefects and town generals from all over the country, and to control as many people as possible at the fastest speed. The more territory you control and the more people you have, the stronger your strength will be.

Tuoba Jian adopted Cui Hao's suggestion, and successively sent out four envoys to meet the governors, prefects and town officials of various places.

Keep the generals.

Hua Mulan and his party returned to Wuchuan in Tianhou.

When I walked near Wuchuan, I saw a tall city appearing in front of my eyes. The fields around the city were all reclaimed fields. These fields were neatly laid out on the ground like small square grids. It is the same width, and the ridges and ditches are criss-crossing in a straight line.

Jingxin exclaimed: "It's so spectacular, it must be even more beautiful when the wheat grows in the spring next year!"

At this time, there are still many peasants and captives in the field who are evenly spreading cow dung, horse dung and sheep dung on the field.

The supervisor's general saw Hua Mulan's team passing by, and immediately galloped over to salute.

"Meet the general, we are fertilizing the fields!"

Hua Mulan nodded and asked, "Why are you the only ones fertilizing? Are you done with land reclamation?"

The general of the building replied: "The task of opening up [-] mu of land has been completed. The town general has reduced two-thirds of the peasants and slaves and let them help build the city. Only one third of the peasants and slaves are left to continue to open up wasteland. Fertilize and pour water! Look at the city wall in the distance. The other three walls have already been completed. Only the south wall is still under construction. It is estimated that it will be completed in three days at most, and the rest is to build arrow towers and towers. !"

Zhao Junsheng was standing outside the south city gate directing the masons to build the gate tower, when a soldier beside him shouted, "General, General Hua and the others are back!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he turned his head and saw a group of people riding horses and carts approaching in the distance. When he got closer, he found that it was Hua Mulan.

He immediately went up to hold Hua Mulan's horse and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Hua Mulan looked depressed: "Don't mention it, I was driven back by the emperor!"

::

Chapter 430 You are not in a hurry about marriage, I am in a hurry!

Sitting in the tent, Zhao Junsheng quietly listened to Hua Mulan's explanation of why the emperor drove her back, and then laughed wantonly without any scruples: "Hahaha... look at it, you are despised by others And you are still disgusted by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, you are too popular, aren't you?"

Hua Mulan pouted: "He just said a few words of justice, he just beat up He Duoluo who talked nonsense, why do all those people dislike him?"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "In my opinion, the emperor was right to drive you back. You beat the ministers in front of the emperor's imperial car, and touched the interests of the Xianbei nobles. It's no wonder they can tolerate you! Fortunately, you are a woman, if you are a man, I am afraid that you will be killed!"

After speaking, Zhao Junsheng got up and broke off a piece of tea brick on the table, wrapped it in gauze and tied it tightly, and threw the tea bag into the pot. The mare's milk was heating up in the pot, and he kept stirring it with a spoon. 

After a while, the hanging pot not only exudes a milk fragrance, but also has a strong tea fragrance in the milk fragrance.

Zhao Junsheng scooped up a bowl of horse milk tea with a spoon and handed it to Hua Mulan, "This is called milk tea, try it and see how it tastes?"

Hua Mulan took the pottery bowl and smelled it, "Huh, it smells so good... well, it doesn't taste much, and the milk has a tea aroma, and only a greedy person like you thinks of putting tea in it." Boil it in milk and drink it?"

"Hey!" Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Food is a gift from heaven to us. Any edible food can be cooked with certain cooking methods, and this is exactly what we Yanhuang people want. One of the specialties!"

Hua Mulan took another sip of milk tea and asked, "Yanhuang people?"

"Whether Han people, Xianbei people, Huns, Qiang people, etc. are all descendants of Yanhuang, we are all descendants of Yanhuang!"

Hua Mulan was at a loss: "Why didn't I know about this?"

"So I let you more!"

"Hey, see if you can do it. It's amazing how many more books! Besides cooking food is one of the specialties of descendants of Yanhuang, do you have any other specialties?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Fine clothes and gourmet food, what other specialties do you say?"

Hua Mulan nodded: "You are right in saying that! Hey, I don't understand why those tea merchants press these tea leaves into tea bricks. Is it only when the tea leaves are pressed into tea bricks that the price is higher? Is it only Only good tea can be pressed into tea bricks?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "You are thinking wrong. The pressed tea bricks are only for the convenience of transportation. There is no other reason other than that. Tea brick tea is not necessarily better than loose tea leaves."

Zhao Junsheng also took a sip of a bowl of milk tea, and said to Hua Mulan: "By the way, when you returned, I had already received the news that He Duoluo led the army to pursue Tuobapi and was ambushed in Feihuxing. The whole army was wiped out, and he fled back to Pingcheng with less than 300 people!"

"Hmph, deserve it!"

Zhao Junsheng drank milk tea, thought for a while, and said to Hua Mulan: "Now that the city wall is almost completed, and the houses in the city are also quickly built, I wonder if I should take over all your family?"

"Is the journey too far? Can your future father-in-law be willing to let go of those family properties?" Hua Mulan shook her head while talking, she was not very hopeful about it.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan and said, "Mulan, you don't understand what I mean, the situation is so compelling, I'm afraid Uncle Hua doesn't want to come, so we have to find a way to get them all to come!"
