my wife is mulan

Chapter 493

"Your life is worthless, what's the use of me asking for it? It's better to let Yan Jun take it!" Zhao Junsheng sneered, and waved to the soldiers outside the account: "Let them go!"

"Huh!" Seeing the soldiers blocking the way pushing away, He Duoluo let out a cold snort and quickly left with the army officials and several soldiers.

Inside the tent, a building general came out and clasped his fists at Zhao Junsheng, saying: "Master, this He Duoluo is too arrogant, Mr. Shi should have killed him just now, and he is so angry!"

Yuchi Yandong reprimanded: "Bastard, he is a duke, a general who leads the army, and a tribal leader. If you say kill him, you will kill him? What do you think of the important officials of the court?"

The general was not convinced, "Even if you can't kill him, you should beat him up and let him know that our Youzhou army is not easy to mess with! I've never seen such an unreasonable person when I grow up." , He has never suffered a disadvantage, if he had suffered a disadvantage, he would not be so arrogant!"

Yuchi Yandong was furious: "I think you are just as arrogant as him! Beat him up? It's easy to say that you are venting your anger by beating him up, but can he let it go? In the end, he can only make things worse. big!"

The unconvinced general still groaned to himself.

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, "He Duoluo has a violent temper and is a man who will take revenge. We must guard against him. Everyone, go back and watch the soldiers, and be careful. Don't be caught off guard by him leading troops in late at night. !"

All the generals stood up together and clasped their fists in agreement, then exited the dental tent one by one and dispersed.

After He Duoluo left the Youzhou military camp with the army officials, he couldn't control it anymore, and his opponents roared: "Go and gather the troops, I will be in vain if I don't kill Zhao Junsheng tonight!"

He Duoluo is going to go crazy, but his subordinates can't make him go crazy. If he really wants to make things worse, no one can please him.

He stopped him and persuaded him: "General, please calm down. If you order to send troops to attack Youzhou army without authorization and kill Zhao Junsheng, how will the emperor and the court explain it? Is it still like an imperial court? Your Majesty and the imperial court will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen. Once it happens, they will definitely kill everyone. Even if Zhao Junsheng is guilty, only the emperor has the right to deal with him. General, you replace the emperor to deal with him. What will the emperor think of you? Woolen cloth?"

"Among the court ministers, no matter how much hatred there is, you can't go into battle with your bare hands. This is a taboo thing! Officialdom naturally has its own methods and rules. If you still break the rules, you will definitely become everyone's enemy!"

He Duoluo is just grumpy, but he doesn't know everything, otherwise he would not be the leader of the clan, let alone the leader of the army, he said angrily, "How can I be willing to give up when that Zhao insults me so much? You Say what to do?"

It's hard to say that He Duoluo provoked the trouble by himself in the army. You just need to call the gate guard captain to report at the door. Why do you have to be superior?Zhao Junsheng is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually!

He could only say to He Duoluo: "General, if Zhao Junsheng was easy-going and soft-boned, he would not have confronted you back then. He had to kill 32 of our soldiers. You already knew what he was like." Why do you want to confront him head-on? He doesn't owe you anything, and he's not afraid of you. It won't work if you use scaring to deal with him! For now, you can only wait for a while and wait Find an opportunity to deal with him properly."

"What? You let me bear it?" He Duoluo turned around and grabbed the hem of his army uniform and shouted sharply.

The military officer hurriedly said: "General calm down, I have something to say, how do you let the subordinates and others think of a way like this? Maybe you want to gather people to kill them and you just fell into his trap. Impulse and violence will not solve the problem, but will only make things worse." It's getting out of hand!"

He Duoluo stopped roaring, gradually let go of his hand, and his mood stabilized.

"Okay, I'm not impulsive or angry, I'll endure it, tell me, how can I kill this Zhao?"

After thinking about it with the army, he said to He Duoluo: "General, the attack on the Yan Kingdom has just begun, and there are still many opportunities. We have to deal with Zhao Junsheng. We can't do it ourselves, we can't come clearly, otherwise even if we succeed, the emperor I will not let the general go, the only way is to rely on the Yan army!"

"With the help of Yan Jun? How to borrow?"

"This... I don't have a chance for now. If there is a chance, my subordinates will definitely suggest it to the general!"

He Duoluo had no other choice but to follow the advice of the army, "Okay, this general will be patient for a while! In fact, this general was not a person who rushed like this before, but when he thought of Zhao Junsheng, a lowly Han, he dared to follow him like this." If I go the right way, I can't help it. If I can't even deal with Zhao Junsheng, a lowly Han Chinese, how can I mess around? Wouldn't I be laughed to death by the clansmen?"

"Yes, yes, the general is right. We can't leave it alone, but now we have to find a way to make the soldiers eat and drink enough, and then get a good night's sleep!"

After He Duoluo calmed down, his thinking became much clearer. He knew that he would definitely not be able to get food now. Where would he go to get food in the dark?

"Order to kill horses and eat meat!"

As an army dominated by cavalry, killing horses is helpless. Generally, horses can only be killed when there is no way to solve the food problem. As cavalry, horses are the most loyal partners, and they must not do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

None of the officials under him said anything, and some people did as he said.

He Duoluo originally thought that Junmi County could be captured in one night, so when he set off, he only brought a meal of dry food, and he didn't even bring tents and other camping supplies. Unexpectedly, he was blocked at Huangya Ridge and could not advance an inch. Now He wanted to camp but couldn't find a tent, so he could only order the soldiers to sleep in the open outside the city. Fortunately, it was August and the temperature was high at night, so they wouldn't catch cold.

The soldiers gathered around a fire and roasted the horse meat. The soldiers who had eaten and drank one after another fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng got up and was gathering troops to count the number of troops and lead the team to do morning exercises. Yuchi Yandong came to report: "Master, last night He Duoluo ordered the killing of horses for his soldiers to eat. It is not yet dawn this morning. , he took the troops and left, looking at the direction, he should want Xu Wu County to join the main force!"

Zhao Junsheng heard the words and said: "It doesn't matter if he is gone, I have fallen out with him long ago, and the two teams are awkward to get together! Well, put this aside for now, you send someone to find the county magistrate Chu Zhongxian Come, I will have something to find him!"

"Yes!"

Chu Zhongxian arrived soon, and Zhao Junsheng asked him to prepare five days' food, some wine and meat, three thousand straw hats or bamboo hats, and some military supplies for the three thousand Youzhou troops.

Zhao Junsheng didn't need much, so Chu Zhongxian heaved a sigh of relief, and agreed: "Okay, I'll go back and send someone to prepare. I don't know when the envoy plans to need it?"

"Early tomorrow morning, you have to send someone over tonight!"

"Row!"

Zhao Junsheng called him again: "I want to take all the [-] Yan soldiers here. They are locals and are familiar with the terrain. It is not in accordance with the rules to let them stay here. I will leave [-] soldiers behind." You will be in charge of guarding the city, from today onwards, you will be in charge of the government, the general will be in charge of the army, and will not interfere with each other, but you need to provide food, grass and military supplies for the defenders, and you must not delay without reason!"

Chu Zhongxian is relieved, as long as his administrative power is not deprived, he, the county magistrate, will still be the biggest official here.

When Xu was approaching, He Duoluo came to Xuwu County with more than [-] defeated remnants and returned to Changshan King Tuobasu.

In the county government office of Xuwu County, He Duoluo walked into the lobby with a gray face and carried the thorns on his back, and bowed to Tuobasu, who was sitting on the hall, clasped his fists and bowed on one knee: "My lord, the general failed to capture Junmi County, but was blocked in the Huang Yaling lost soldiers and lost generals, the last general will be guilty, please deal with it severely!"

According to He Duoluo's temperament, he is a person who cares about face, how could he be so humble to Tuobasu?This was all discussed with his advisers before he came, if not, he might be punished by Tuobasu, in order to get rid of the crime, he could only retreat.

Zhao Junsheng sent someone to report to Tuobasu last night that He Duoluo's army was blocked at Huangyaling, and everyone in the lobby knew about it.

Tuobasu was indeed planning to punish He Duoluo. He originally planned to set off for Lulongsai this morning, but he was delayed because of He Duoluo's affairs.

Stay here for another day.

Seeing that He Duoluo, a general who wants to save face and has a violent temper, is willing to put down his dignity and plead guilty to him, Tuobasu can't really punish him, but fortunately nothing major happened, so he took advantage of the situation and stopped pursuing it .

"He Duoluo, this king has told you long ago that you should not underestimate the enemy. Now you know that you can't rely on blood and courage alone in marching and fighting, right? Although some soldiers were lost in this incident, fortunately Junmi County was also taken down. Now that you have realized your mistake, I will not pursue it anymore, you go down, let the soldiers rest well, and set off for Lulong Sai tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, my lord!" He Duoluo breathed a sigh of relief.

Lulongsai was at the east foot of Xuwu Mountain, and Tuobasu led the main force of the Northern Route Army to set off from Xuwu County. It took three days to reach the vicinity of Lulongsai because they had to cross Rushui.

The terrain of Lulongsai is dangerous, and its location is called Lin Lanxing at this time. It is a mountain road leading to the outside of the Great Wall. Lulongsai is a "day"-shaped defensive fortress with a depth of [-] steps, located between two mountains. , Meishan is on the left, Yunshan is on the right, and the fortress is built on the mountain.

The wall on the side close to the pass is four feet high, two feet wide, and eighty feet long. The tower in the middle is called Xinyue Tower.

The city wall in the middle of the "Yue" shape is the narrowest, fifty feet long, five feet high, and three feet wide. The middle tower is named Lulong.

The city wall facing the outside of the Great Wall is the main city wall, which is five feet high, three feet wide, and one hundred feet long. This section of the main city wall is connected to the auxiliary wall. Meilou and Yunlou start from the auxiliary walls on both sides and extend to the farther mountains.

"According to the scouts, there are more than a thousand Yan soldiers stationed in Lulongsai. The terrain here is dangerous. Even if it is attacked from the inner side of the pass, it will not be easy to take it down. After all, the city wall near the official road is four feet high! General Zhu, aren't you southerners good at attacking cities? How about you leading the Yunzhong army to attack Lulongsai?" Tuobasu looked at Zhu Xiuzhi, the general of Yunzhong Township, and asked.

Zhu Xiu's face was troubled: "My lord, there is no siege equipment here, even the generals who can attack the city will be helpless!"

Hua Mulan had experience in attacking passes, and she usually heard Zhao Junsheng talk about some methods of attacking passes. She observed Lu Longsai for a while, then clasped her fists at Tuoba Su and said, "My lord, there will be a way to break through Lu Longsai in the end. , but it requires a large number of troops to feint from the front to attract the attention of the defenders!"

"Oh?" Tuobasu regained his energy. Just now Zhu Xiuzhi refused to fight. He looked down on Zhu Xiuzhi and didn't point at Zhu Xiuzhi's generals. He turned his head and said to He Duoluo, "He Duoluo, this king ordered you to give it to you." One day to prepare, let your leader pretend to attack the city wall from the front!"
