my wife is mulan

Tuoba Jian's face was very ugly when he heard the number of casualties, more than 200 soldiers were lost before the war started, how could he accept this?

The military ministers and generals in the hall immediately started talking like a vegetable market, and someone immediately stood up to impeach Zhao Junsheng.

"Your Majesty, I have impeached the Inspector of Youzhou, Zhao Junsheng, for his negligence of duty and failure to control the situation in time, causing heavy casualties to our Eastern Army soldiers!"

"The minister also impeached Zhao Junsheng and abused the law to slaughter our Xianbei warriors. Although His Majesty had a decree first, he could not kill my Xianbei warriors in such a large number. In such cases, he can only punish the chief evil, but he chose Everyone is going to be killed, this is obviously a hostile act against my Xianbei people!"

All of a sudden, the military ministers and generals stood up to impeach Zhao Junsheng, and there was a scene of people pushing the wall down. Although Cui Hao, Kou Qianzhi and others also stood up to speak for Zhao Junsheng, these people were weak after all. , It is simply impossible to compete with the majority of Xianbei ministers and generals.

Tuoba Jian was forced to be helpless, in order to stabilize the situation, he could only decree: "Deprive Zhao Junsheng of the title of Marquis of Yunzhong as a punishment!"

Chapter 487 I Support You!

The oil lamp in the lantern was burning quietly, and the backyard of the Governor's Mansion seemed a bit stuffy, but fortunately, incense was lit around, so there were no mosquito bites.

There were several dishes on the stone table, wine jug, wine cups and bowls and chopsticks, and the servant brought two roasted lamb legs.

Hua Mulan picked up the jug and filled Zhao Junsheng's and her own cups with wine, picked up the cups and said, "Brother Junsheng, come, have a drink, I'll calm you down!"

Zhao Junsheng picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, and shook his head helplessly: "The title is gone, so why be so surprised!"

Hua Mulan put down her wine cup and said with a smile: "It's a mere title. Isn't it a trivial matter to get the title of title with brother Junsheng's ability?"

"You said it lightly. If you want to be crowned, you have to fight with your life!" Zhao Junsheng grabbed the leg of lamb, picked up a knife, cut off a large piece of head, put it in his mouth, and ate it. He said while eating: " Mulan, look at me now that I have no title and no source of income, you will have to support me in the future!"

At this time, officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty had no salary, and their income was given according to the class reward system.

However, the nobles with titles are different. According to the regulations promulgated by the founding emperor Tuobagui of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the titles of the Northern Wei Dynasty were divided into five classes, but later increased to eleven classes, namely Wang, Kaiguo Duke, San Gong, Marquis, and San. Hou, Bo, San Bo, Zi, San Zi, Nan, San Nan.

Among them, Sangong, Sanhou, Sanbo, Sanzi, and Sannan have no actual feudal titles, but only honorary titles.

These nobles who have the actual title of the fief can obtain the rent and tax in the fief.According to regulations, the king eats half of the food, the male eats one third of the food, the uncle Hou gets one quarter of the food, and the sons and the sons eat one fifth of the food.

In other words, Zhao Junsheng was the Marquis of Yunzhong before, and according to the regulations, he could get a quarter of the rent tax of Yunzhong County. A huge sum of money, this is the real nobility.

Hua Mulan smiled and said, "Okay! As long as you're not afraid of being laughed at, I'll support you!"

In fact, even if Zhao Junsheng lost his title and could no longer enjoy the rent and tax of the feudal city, he still had several caravans, and there were many shops in Yunzhong and Wuchuan. These shops and caravans could bring him money every month. Come a lot of wealth.

"I'm not afraid of people's jokes, so I'm sure I'll eat you!" Zhao Junsheng bit the mutton hard.

Hua Mulan was not polite in front of Zhao Junsheng. She also ate meat and drank heavily. As a martial arts practitioner, her body needs a lot of meat. The two of them are young and consume a lot of energy. Apart from breakfast, Two of the three meals a day must have meat, and even during marches and wars, you must carry dried meat with you.

Hua Mulan comforted Zhao Junsheng while eating: "Brother Junsheng, although you have lost your title this time, you are fine. I think this is luck among misfortunes. Your general title and official position are still there, just now More than [-]% of the ministers and generals in the palace are impeaching you, the emperor can withstand the pressure and only cut your title is already very good!"

"Ha, Mulan, that's not what I said! Did I do something wrong? I handled the case impartially, and in the end I ended up being stripped of my title!"

Zhao Junsheng was just complaining, but he knew very well in his heart that there was no right or wrong politically. Although the case he handled had won the support and hearts of the people in Youzhou, he had offended too many nobles of Xianbei. Especially the military aristocrats, these people were the pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the emperor could not have cared about their thoughts at all, he was lucky to keep his official position and life.

The next day, the emperor's decree came down, and it was decided that one day later, the army would move out of the camp and march eastward. When the army left the territory of Yuyang County, the logistics base in Yuyang would send a convoy to transport the supplies for the army every other day.

On August [-]th, the army set off from Jixian County, and arrived at the east bank of Baoqiu River four days later, that is, on August [-]th.

The leading general, He Duoluo, had already collected ships and wood to build a pontoon bridge. There used to be a bridge here, but because the Yan army had already received the news that the Wei army was about to march westward, the nearby Yan army destroyed the bridge, but this It can only delay the attack time of the Wei army, but cannot stop the attack of the Wei army.

All the soldiers and horses of the army were slowly crossing the bridge one by one. Tuoba Jian was standing on the west bank of the river with a worried expression.

Before the army set off, he asked the national teacher Kou Qianzhi to perform a divination for the Eastern Expedition. The result of the divination was not very good.

In fact, Kou Qianzhi had done divination when he was in Pingcheng, and the secrets of the sky were obscure.

Although Tuobajian always thought that divination before the army went out was just a means used by successive emperors to appease the subjects and stimulate the morale of the soldiers, but when he really came to him, he was also in a state of turmoil. After all, Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao had already He has been told the results of divination twice in a row. This battle is dangerous and the outcome is unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, you can cross the bridge now!" Tuoba Na, the general of the army guard and king of Gaoliang, came over on horseback and reported.

"Let's cross the bridge!" Tuoba Jian agreed, and rode his horse towards the bridge head, followed by generals, eunuchs and military ministers, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan each led their soldiers and horses to cross the bridge one by one.

When the whole army had crossed Baoqiu River, a fast horse came galloping from the front.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General He Duoluo has led his army to break through Wuwu. The general sent a villain to report. Your Majesty and the army can rest assured that there is no Wuwu ahead!"

Wuzhong County is the seat of You Beiping. Before that, Yan State had stationed heavy troops here, but before Tuoba Jian led the army to conquer Youzhou, Zhao Junsheng had sent Bai Jinguang with a thousand cavalry to wreak havoc in Beiping County. , mobilized the Yan army stationed in Wuzhong County around, and most of them left the station and were annihilated one by one. Therefore, the strength of the Yan army in Beiping County was extremely weak during this period, so it was so easy to be defeated by He Duoluo's two thousand soldiers. Soldiers and horses broke through.

Tuoba Jian was quite surprised when he heard the words, "This Yan army is so vulnerable? He Duoluo broke through the endless city with only two thousand soldiers?"

No one is willing to offend anyone, especially He Duoluo, a general of the Xianbei army who must take revenge. The minister next to him said with a smile, "General He Duoluo is brave. This is a great joy for His Majesty and Wei!"

Tuoba Jian called Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan over and asked, "He Duoluo broke through the Endless City with only [-] soldiers and horses. This Endless City is also the seat of Beiping County, and He Duoluo built a pontoon bridge here for days. , the Yan army cannot be defenseless, right? You have been in Youzhou for a while, do you know the situation in Youbeiping?"

Hua Mulan clasped her fists and replied: "Your Majesty, if there is no surprise attack under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to conquer a county with two thousand soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and it is impossible for the Yan army to turn a blind eye to He Duoluo's behavior in the past few days, so He Duo It is impossible for Luo to be a sneak attack, there is only one situation where he can take down the city without any effort, and that is that there are not many defenders in the city!"

After listening to Hua Mulan's analysis, Tuoba Jian looked at the other ministers and generals, wanting to hear their thoughts.

Cui Hao said: "Your Majesty, I think that we should send more scouts and scouts to find out the movements of the Yan army and what is true, so as not to fall into the Yan army's plan to lure the enemy into deep!"

After hearing this, Tuoba Jian took it for granted, and immediately ordered the Xiaocavalry Army ahead to send more elite scouts to find out the situation in Wuzhong County, and then ordered the army to continue to move forward and march towards Wuzhong City.

When he arrived at the Endless City, Tuoba Jian asked He Duoluo to ask about the situation. As Hua Mulan said, there were less than 300 defenders in the Endless City. This is a county town with four square walls. How many miles, how long can [-] people defend?He Duoluo concentrated his forces to storm the west wall, attracting all the defenders in the city, and sent hundreds of people to attack the city from the east wall. There are only a few people on the wall, how can they stop it?He Duoluo broke through the Endless City with ease.

On the night of the second day, Tuoba Jian convened a meeting with the military ministers and generals in the prefect's mansion in the endless city, and Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were among them.

Tuobajian said to everyone: "According to the results of the large-scale investigation by the detective cavalry and scouts, there are not many Yan troops in Beiping County. We must be prepared for the Yan army to lure the enemy into us in the next advance. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to divide the troops into two groups: one to take the Binhai Road, and the other to take the Lulong Road!"

Since ancient times, there have been two roads from Ji to the west of Liaoning, one is the Binhai Road, and the other is the road out of Lulongsai. When Cao Cao marched north to Karasuma, he originally planned to

He took the Binhai Road, but it was rainy in summer, and the Binhai Road was flooded. It was impossible to walk chariots and horses in the shallow water, and it was impossible to walk boats in the deep water, so Cao Cao changed to the road of Lulongsai.

When the military ministers and generals in the hall heard that Tuoba Jian wanted to divide the troops into two groups, someone stood up and asked, "I don't know how Your Majesty plans to divide the troops into two groups, and how to march?"

Tuobajian ordered: "Changshan King Tuobasu listen to the order!"

Tuobasu immediately stood up and clasped his fists in agreement: "The minister is here!"

"I ordered you to be the chief general of the Northern Route Army, and lead your troops, leaders, right-wing army, Youzhou army, and Yunzhong army to set off at Foxiao tomorrow, take down Xu Wu and Junmi one by one, and Lu Longsai leave the pass. Go north to attack Baitan, Pinggang, and Bailang, and go straight to Dragon City!"

"According to the order!"

Tuoba Jian said again: "Zhao Junsheng listened to the order and ordered you to be the deputy general of the North Route Army to assist King Changshan in the battle!"

Zhao Junsheng stood up and agreed: "I obey the order!"

Tuoba Jian said to the others: "The rest of the ministers, officials and generals of the army led the troops to follow me to the seaside to directly attack Longcheng!"

All the ministers and generals agreed together: "I will obey the order!"

At the dawn of the next day, the Northern Route Army set out from the City of Endless and marched northward under the leadership of Tuoba Su and Zhao Junsheng.

Not long after setting off, Tuobasu said to Zhao Junsheng: "General Zhao, is your Youzhou Army the landlord here, or should you send scouts to scout the road ahead and inquire about the enemy's situation?"
