my wife is mulan

While the two were talking, Li Bao quickly walked in and clasped his fists to report: "General, Uncle Lu Xuan is here, he looks very embarrassed, I'm afraid something happened to the young lady!"

Zhao Junsheng's face changed upon hearing this, "Let him in quickly!"

Chapter 515 The culprit

Lu Xuanbo staggered in with the support of two soldiers. His hair was disheveled and there were several cuts in the leather armor he was wearing. His face was pale and bloodless, his lips were dry, and his eyes lost their luster, but he was still firm.

Zhao Junsheng rushed to meet him: "Old Lu, why did you do this? Li Bao, hurry up and get some food, and call the medical officer to treat Lao Lu!"

"Okay!" Li Bao promised, turned around and ran away.

Zhao Junsheng helped Lu Xuanbo to the table and sat down. Seeing that there was still unfinished wine and meat on the table, Lu Xuanbo immediately grabbed the jug and poured it into his mouth. It seemed that he was extremely thirsty, until he drank most of the jug of wine , just took a breath, ignored the leftovers on the table, grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xu were extremely shocked. This was the first time they saw Lu Xuanbo in such a panic. Zhao Junsheng remembered that Lu Xuanbo was never in such a panic when he was hunted down by the assassins sent by Emperor Liu Yilong of the Southern Dynasty.

Li Bao quickly came over with food, wine and vegetables and put them on the table, Lu Xuanbo was not polite, and stuffed them into his mouth like no one else was there.

The medical officer rushed over, and two soldiers took off his tattered leather armor covered with dried blood. The medical officer cleaned his wound, and said to Zhao Junsheng while doing the operation: "Fortunately, these wounds stopped the bleeding in time. , otherwise he would have died long ago!"

When Lv Xuanbo had enough to eat and drink, the medical officer had already treated his wound. Before leaving, he also explained: "My subordinates left some ointment, and the medicine should be changed every day. Before the wound is healed, it must not be soaked in water. Wet it, otherwise it will be troublesome if it festers!"

After the medical officer left, Uncle Lu Xuan put on his clothes, clasped his fists to Zhao Junsheng and said, "Master, the young lady is in big trouble, the young husband must lead the troops to set out overnight to rescue, or something serious may happen if it is too late!"

Zhao Junsheng quickly said: "Talk slowly, don't worry, what happened?"

Lu Xuanbo immediately told the ins and outs of what happened to Hua Mulan and the 3000 troops of the Right Wing Army in Pinggang City in the past few days.

Although Zhao Junsheng was very anxious after hearing this, he still asked, "Where did the four thousand soldiers and horses come from? As far as we know, each county in Jiyang County has at most only a thousand guards." Army, how come there are so many more soldiers?"

Lu Xuanbo said: "We got the news from Baitan. The news is outdated. There are five thousand soldiers in Yangwu, and the commander of the army is Yao Zhao. It was Yao Zhao who led the troops and suddenly appeared. If you are defeated, you have to retreat to Luming Mountain!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "Yao Zhao left Yangwu to attack Mulan's right-wing army. I'm afraid it was planned by him long ago, but he left with so many soldiers, isn't he afraid that He Duoluo will attack Yangwu? , took away his lair?"

Lu Xuanbo shook his head, he was not clear about Yangwu and He Duoluo's situation. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

Gao Xu clasped his fists beside him and said, "General, the general thinks that since Yao Zhao dared to do this, he must have nothing to fear! Either he has a way to block He Duoluo's attack, or He Duoluo is deliberately slowing down the marching speed to give Yao Zhao time. To deal with General Hua, after all, He Duoluo must take revenge, and he can do such a thing!"

Zhao Junsheng told himself in his heart that it would be fine if it was the first case, and if it was the second case, he secretly vowed never to let He Duoluo go.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Junsheng told Li Bao: "Go and call Chang Kun!"

Soon Chang Kun was called over by Li Bao, and he saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Chang Kun, thanks to you these few days, otherwise we would not have rushed to Fan City so quickly and without hindrance, and it was also because of your arrangement that It made Fan Guiting lead the army to surrender, and we won the city of Fan without a single soldier. You have made the most contribution, and I will be promoted to be your general!"

Chang Kun clasped his fists and said, "This is the job of my subordinates, thank you General for your support!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded

, asked: "The general wants to send someone to Yangwu to inquire about the news. This person must be familiar with the local situation and be able to adapt to various emergencies. Is there such a person among the people you know?"

Chang Kun thought for a while and said: "There is such a person, his name is He Yong, who used to be the head of Duzhi in the Lulongsai garrison. Guang, he is tactful, but I don’t know if the general dares to use it or not?”

"Where is he now?"

"It's in the army, and it was incorporated into a building together with those surrendered troops!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "Li Bao, go and bring He Yong here!"

When Li Bao brought He Yong over, Zhao Junsheng personally inspected this person, and found that this person had no loyalty to Yan, so Zhao Junsheng promoted him to be the adjutant of military supplies, and sent several people to protect him and go to Yangwu to inquire about news. In fact, He Yong didn't want to serve Zhao Junsheng, but he learned that Chang Kun recommended him to Zhao Junsheng, so he agreed. He couldn't trust others, but he trusted Chang Kun.

After He Yong was protected by several personal soldiers sent by Zhao Junsheng and set off to Yangwu overnight, Zhao Junsheng gave an order to Li Bao: "Order the whole army to make fire and cook food at Maoshi tomorrow, and return to Pinggang at Chenshi!"

"Obey!" Li Bao agreed and left.

Lu Xuanbo was a little anxious: "General, Young Madam can't delay it. If it is delayed for a day, the danger will be greatly increased, and there will be many variables!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "Do you think I don't know? Do you think I'm willing to delay overnight? At this moment, I can't wait to leave and fly over! But the army needs to prepare dry food, water and some other military supplies, so we can't go on the road without bringing anything." ? It takes time to prepare these things, understand?"

Lu Xuanbo stopped talking, and Zhao Junsheng said to him: "Your body has not recovered yet, I will ask someone to prepare a wing for you, you should rest early, and I will send someone to call you at Mao tomorrow."

"Alright!" Lu Xuanbo obeyed Zhao Junsheng's arrangement.

Then Yuchi Yandong was called over by Zhao Junsheng, and said to him: "Yuchi, you just received the military order, right?"

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "There are some troubles with General Hua, the army on the right side. She and her soldiers were besieged in Luming Mountain by the tricks of the Yan army. So I want you to bring a single building to stay and guard Fancheng, are you sure you can maintain the stability of Fancheng with only one building?"

Yuchi Yandong said: "This Fancheng is mixed with Hu and Han, and there are also Kumoxi and Khitan people. The population composition is too complicated, and the number of troops in each building is too small. The general asked the general to allow me to transfer the homes of the rich merchants and families in the city. The soldiers and guards are requisitioned!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and agreed: "Yes, but we must pay attention to the way things are handled. At this stage, everything is stable. Try not to conflict with the local big clans. Our rule requires their cooperation!"

"Don't worry, general, the general will understand!"

After sending away Yuchi Yandong, Zhao Junsheng said to Gao Xu: "My Youzhou Army still has the task of sweeping the area north of Pingfan City. Now it seems that this task can only be solved by you with 4000 of us. Remember, You have to act in the name of the Youzhou Army, so as not to cause complications!"

"In addition, after the Yan army in the north is wiped out, try not to conflict with Kumoxi in the north. Now let's not make enemies everywhere!"

Gao Xu clasped his fists and agreed: "The general will understand!"

Although the army will leave together tomorrow, Zhao Junsheng must know the news about Pinggang City and Hua Mulan in advance. It has been a day since Lu Xuanbo rushed here from the departure, who knows what happened in this day, A scout cavalry was sent to Pinggang City overnight by Zhao Junsheng.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Junsheng set off for Pinggang City with the Youzhou Army, which was well fed and prepared, accompanied by General Fan Guiting who had just joined the army and [-] generals under his command.

Starting in the morning, the Youzhou army has not stopped marching, marching at the fastest speed, only resting twice in the middle, each time only a quarter of an hour, until late at night after traveling nearly [-] miles, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Pinggang City.

first

The scout sent here to investigate contacted the army, and one of the scouts reported to Zhao Junsheng the news of Pinggang City, "General, we have found that there is no army stationed in Pinggang City, only the prefect's mansion and the county government sent troops." There are more than a hundred servants organized by the yamen servants and the major families in the city, and two hundred young men selected from the common people are holding the gates of the city and maintaining order in the city.”

"General Hua and the right-wing army are still besieged in Luming Mountain, but they are short of water and food, and hundreds of horses have starved to death. The right-wing army soldiers have killed more than a thousand people in these two days. There are more than a thousand people left, but they are exhausted."

After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Junsheng learned that Hua Mulan was still safe and sound. He felt a little relieved and asked, "Is there anyone from Yangwu to contact you?"

The scout replied: "Yes, the other party said that a man named He Yong sent him here, and he is waiting not far away to report to the general!"

"Go and call him!"

The people sent by He Yong quickly came over to salute Zhao Junsheng. He himself was Zhao Junsheng's personal soldier, "General, the situation in Yangwu has been found out. Yangwu City now has only 200 defenders, and Yangwu The city sent 800 people to stop He Duoluo's troops at Shimenkou!"

Zhao Junsheng felt something was wrong and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Two days ago!"

Everything is clear, Yao Zhao is going to deal with Hua Mulan and her right-wing army, and He Duoluo is the culprit who fueled the flames!

Zhao Junsheng shook his head after hearing this: "Obviously, He Duoluo's army was deliberately delaying time when marching. It only took four days to arrive from Baitan to Yangwu City. It took He Duoluo five days to reach Shimengou. Our army spies After investigation, although Shimengou is dangerous, if He Duoluo wants to attack with all his strength, it only takes one day to capture it, and now he has fought for almost three days, and he wants to use the hands of Yan Jun to get rid of General Hua and the others!"

Bai Jinguang asked: "General, what should we do now? Should the army camp on the spot, or rush to Luming Mountain overnight to attack the Yan Army's Yao Zhao Department?"
