my wife is mulan

Hua Hai didn't know why Zhao Junsheng couldn't come to meet Hua Yuan when everyone was here, and said awkwardly: "Young master may have some ideas and reasons for not coming, the mistress and the young master should come with me quickly to meet you !"

Hua Yuanshi wanted to lose his temper, but thought that the Rouran people had been driven away not long ago, what if they came back?Will he be arrested again?So he immediately led Hua Xiong and followed Hua Hai and the others out of the crowd.

Huahai found two horses for Hua Yuan and Hua Xiong to ride respectively. The Hua family themselves raised horses, and everyone in the castle knew how to ride horses. Under the protection of Hua Hai and others, Hua Yuan and Hua Xiong Xiong rode separately and quickly ran a few miles to meet Zhao Junsheng.

"The son-in-law is visiting his mother-in-law, and the son-in-law is late, which surprised his mother-in-law and Xiaoxiong!" Zhao Junsheng saw Hua Hai and others riding over with a woman and a half-child guarding him, and he knew that he had found Hua Yuan. Shi and Hua Xiong, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately got off his horse and went to see him.

Hua Yuanshi reined in his horse and stopped, looked at Zhao Junsheng with a cold snort and said, "Hmph, Junsheng, you are now a general and have a high status, so you don't want to come to see me, an old lady, in person?"

Zhao Junsheng was stunned for a moment, knowing that Hua Yuan had misunderstood, he quickly said with a smile: "My mother-in-law misunderstood, how can my son-in-law be this kind of person? No matter how high your son-in-law is, he is your son-in-law, right? Rouran suddenly lost The captives and animals ran away, this is not in line with their style, my son-in-law was worried that they would kill the horses, so he didn't bring a large group of people over there, and only let the generals bring a small number of soldiers over there just in case!"

Seeing Zhao Junsheng's expression, Hua Yuan didn't believe it, and insisted in his heart that he was putting on airs and didn't bother about it, but said: "I have eaten two bowls of mare's milk in the past two days, and Xiong'er is too hungry to walk. It's time to go, get him something to eat!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "Come here, bring the dry food quickly!"

Soon someone brought dry food and water bags, and Zhao Junsheng said to Hua Yuan with a smile on his face again: "My lord mother-in-law, my son-in-law is worried about the safety of you and Xiaoxiong. I didn’t bring anything delicious, so I ask you and Xiaoxiong to take care of it for a while, and eat some dry food first, and then order people to kill cattle and sheep after the son-in-law is sure that Rouran has left.”

Hua Yuan's mother and son were indeed hungry. After receiving the dry food handed over by the soldiers next to them, they gnawed, and when they choked, they opened the water bag to drink water. After gobbling for a while, he burped after eating the dry food for two people.

Zhao Junsheng asked Huahai: "Has Gao Xu come here to protect the people?"

"Already heading this way, the young and strong among the people have been singled out to drive the cattle and sheep, and they will come here soon!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his eyes and looked to the north, and there were some dense clouds at the end of the sky.

The numb black spots should be Gao Xu who came here to protect the people.

He immediately ordered: "Come here, send an order for each soldier to take out two dry rations, gather them together and send them to the common people to fill their stomachs first!"

"As ordered, General!"

Soon, the dry food was distributed to every commoner, and the commoners thanked and thanked the soldiers and generals one by one with tears in their eyes.

"Bring the map!" Zhao Junsheng ordered loudly.

A soldier brought a map, which was drawn by Zhao Junsheng himself after traveling hundreds of miles around. The mountains, rivers, hills, hills, forests, and lakes were all drawn in great detail.

He found the location of himself and others on the map, and then carefully checked the surrounding terrain on the map.

"If the men and horses of the Mo Gu Department hadn't really given up on these captured people and animals, what would they do? Where are they hiding now?" Zhao Junsheng asked himself in his heart while looking at the map.

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Come on, call the scout captain!"

After a while, the scout captain rushed over, "What orders does the general have?"

Zhao Junsheng beckoned, and then he pointed to several locations on the map and said, "Send people to the small lake twenty miles to the northwest, cross the river to the Populus euphratica forest fifteen miles to the northeast, and cross the river to the hill ten miles to the east. Qiu scouts should not return for more than one and a half hours, and if any scouts have not returned for more than one and a half hours, come and report immediately!"

"As ordered!"

After the captain of the scout left, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered without waiting for Gao Xu to lead the guards to join the common people: "The whole army marches west! Li Bao, send someone to tell Gao Xu that if the captain of the scout sends someone to report the enemy's situation , let him send someone to go west ten miles to report, and the main force of the army will follow them and retreat to the south ten miles apart!"

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng originally wanted to send someone to send Hua Yuan and Hua Xiong back to Wuchuan City first, but he was worried that they would encounter Rouran people on the way back, so after thinking about it, he decided to take them with him for safety.

In the afternoon, Zhao Junsheng was retreating south with his soldiers and horses keeping a distance of ten miles from the people, when a scout galloped to report.

"General Qi, none of the scouts sent out have returned!"

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng was surprised when he heard the report.

.

Chapter 435 The mother-in-law is shocked!

There is no doubt that none of the scouts sent out to investigate came back, and something must have happened.

To say that there are Rouran troops by the small lake twenty miles away from the northwest, the Populus euphratica forest in the northeast on the other side of the river, and the small hills ten miles away in the east. Go in three directions.

But why didn't any of the scouts sent in these three directions return?Zhao Junsheng thought about it, there is only one possibility, that is, the Rouran people have spread scouts around him to monitor his troops and the common people!

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment, and then ordered the scouts who came to report: "Go back and tell Gao Xu, send someone to report safety every hour! At dusk, let him set up camp by the river and spread traps around Pit, tripping rope, if you are attacked by the Rouran people, immediately blow the horn!"

"Obey!" The scout followed the order.

Zhao Junsheng opened the map and looked at it, then looked up to the south, "Send the order, the army will camp on the spot after advancing twenty miles!"

The soldiers and horses continued to retreat southward, maintaining the walking speed of pedestrians.

Zhao Junsheng sent another two dozen cavalry, arranged between the two teams between four miles and seven miles away, and retreated southward together. Once Gao Xu's side sounded the horn of attack, the cavalry located four miles away You can hear the horn, and then blow the horn quickly. The cavalry at Qili heard the horn and also blew the horn. Zhao Junsheng can also hear the horn immediately. It is easy to be intercepted halfway, unless the Rouran people send out troops to kill the two small cavalry in the middle, but the dispatch of Rouran's large cavalry will definitely not be able to hide from Zhao Junsheng's surrounding eyes and ears.

At dusk, Zhao Junsheng led a large group of people to start camping at the edge of a forest at the predetermined location. Without much preparation, everyone fed the horses two catties of beans, nailed the reins to the ground and let the horses graze on their own. After eating and drinking, the horses were fed and watered, and each put a tarpaulin and blanket on the ground and fell asleep.

At this time, Gao Xu led 500 people to guard the people and 10,000+ livestock and camped by the river twelve miles to the east. He followed Zhao Junsheng's instructions and sent people to dig many dense horse pits around the camp. Nail one tripping rope after another, and surround the camp with the carriages loaded with food and supplies, and let the soldiers serve as guards behind the carriages to protect the people in the middle of the camp.

It was getting dark, and there was no light in Zhao Junsheng's temporary camp, only the sound of snoring.

Zhao Junsheng didn't doze off at all, it wasn't that he couldn't fall asleep, but he was guessing where Rouran was?If the people in Rouran really abandoned these people and animals, it is impossible for the scouts he sent to not come back. These scouts must have been intercepted and killed. This shows that the people in Rouran did not give up. They abandoned the people and animals that they had captured No more than a stopgap measure.

Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone!Zhao Junsheng sighed sincerely in his heart, even though the Rouran people were despised by Tuoba Tao as the creepy people, they are actually not stupid.

He believed that at this moment Rouran was hiding in the dark like a wolf and watching every move of him and his soldiers.

"General, general!" A security post on duty at night quietly came to Zhao Junsheng's side and shouted in a low voice.

Zhao Junsheng raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"You lie on the ground and listen, it seems that there are a lot of slight horseshoe sounds, very close to us!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he immediately lay down and put his ears on the ground. After only a few seconds, his face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered: "Li Bao, Li Bao, wake everyone up, hurry up!"

The people from Rouran came, with more than [-] horses and more than [-] cavalry. Zhao Junsheng inferred from the vibration of the horseshoes he heard. It's no more than three miles away.

This distance is too short. If there is no forest to resist, Zhao Junsheng and the others will definitely not have the time to assemble the whole team at this time. The guard posts are only arranged in the three directions of north, south and east. People just came from the west.

Rouran's marching speed is not fast, but it is definitely not slow!

etc!The Rouran people are marching so fast, don't they come to sneak attack?If it was a sneak attack, how could there be such a fast speed?

Zhao Junsheng understood that it was absolutely a coincidence that the Rouran people came here, the two sides met here by mistake, is this really a coincidence!

Zhao Junsheng quietly woke everyone up and told them to get on their horses as quickly as possible to prepare for the battle. There was no time to clean up the oilcloths and blankets on the ground, and we would wait until the battle was over.

The Rouran people apparently did not expect to meet Zhao Junsheng's main force here. Zhao Junsheng led the [-] cavalry that had just assembled and rushed towards the approaching Rouran army.

"Kill—" Zhao Junsheng yelled again and again.

"Kill—kill Rouran—" All the soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows towards the dark front.
