my wife is mulan

Two days later, the scouts sent to Longcheng came back with news of the South Army.Emperor Tuobajian led the Southern Route Army to the outside of Longcheng City, and Northern Yan Tianwang Feng Hong had already ordered all the people and livestock outside the city to be moved into the city, intending to strictly guard against it.

After the army from the South Road arrived outside Longcheng, Tuobajian ordered [-] people from the surrounding counties to dig moats and trap Longcheng.

The detective cavalry sentry also brought back the emperor Tuobajian's order to let the North Route Army go to Longcheng to meet up immediately.

On the sixth day of September, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and Zhu Xiuzhi led troops eastward.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the army arrived at Shicheng, west of Longcheng. Li Chong, the prefect of Shicheng, led the army and civilians in the city to surrender to Zhao Junsheng.

After resting in Shicheng for a day, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the army to continue eastward, and arrived outside Longcheng City on September [-] to join the South Route Army.

Dragon City, also known as Huanglong City, Beiyan sent envoys to the Southern Dynasty after Feng Ba became the king of heaven, so the Southern Dynasty was the Suzerain of Beiyan, because Dragon City was also called Huanglongcheng, and the Southern Dynasty called Beiyan Huanglong Kingdom.

When Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led their troops to arrive, tens of thousands of civilians were digging trenches outside the city and piled up soil mounds into high earth barriers, which could not only prevent the soldiers and horses of the king and ministers of Yan from breaking through, but also use the high bases to pile up on the city wall. shoot arrows.

"I pay my respects to the envoy, and I have seen General Hua!" Fan Yang Taishou Mao Xiuzhi came up with several generals from the prefectures and counties.

Zhao Junsheng jumped off his horse, told Bai Jinguang and others behind him to set up camp, and turned around and asked, "He came here to escort food and grass?"

"Yes, envoy! The army consumed too much food and grass. The emperor sent several groups of messengers to urge him. The subordinate officials had to bring people to escort the food and grass. Three thousand soldiers have arrived. There is enough food and grass for this time." The two armies will eat for two months!"

The two were talking, when a middle-aged eunuch walked over quickly with two young eunuchs: "Is this the Governor of Youzhou, Shijun Zhao? Your Majesty ordered Zhao Shijun, General Hua, and General Zhu to meet you quickly! "

Chapter 528 Eradicating Eyes and Eyes

The emperor's oral order had been issued, and Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Zhu Xiuzhi and others had to leave the matter of camping to the generals. The three of them followed the eunuchs to the emperor's palace. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

In the palace, civil servants and military generals stand on the left and right sides, and there are many guard posts inside and outside the hall, which are quite majestic.

After the call of the eunuch came out, the three of Zhao Junsheng walked into the hall one by one and bowed side by side in the middle of the hall: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Jian was expressionless, and glanced at the three of them, "Tell me about the deaths of King Chang Shan and He Duoluo!"

Zhao Junsheng was about to speak, but Zhu Xiuzhi stood up and clasped his fists first and said: "Your Majesty, the thing is like this, after King Changshan led all the troops to break through Baitan, he divided his troops: first, General Zhao led the Youzhou army to attack Fancheng And the area to the north; the second route is General Hua leading 2 troops from the right side to attack Pinggang; the third route is General He Duoluo leading [-] troops to attack Yangwu City; Heading towards White Wolf City, the last general and Yun Zhongjun followed Chang Shan Wang to the White Wolf City on a path!"

"Who knew our information was wrong..." Zhu Xiuzhi then explained the situation in detail. Of course, he didn't know exactly what happened to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, but he could roughly guess it.

After hearing this, Tuoba Jian asked: "I'm very curious, why did King Changshan and his troops, including the leader and the right wing army, all die in battle under the sneak attack of the Yan army, while you and yours Yun Zhongjun is safe and sound?"

Zhu Xiuzhi said calmly: "Returning to Your Majesty, because the last general's Yunzhong Army is mostly infantry, and camping at night cannot be defenseless, so when camping, we camped alone and used a lot of wood to build the camp. When the Yan army attacked the camp, they sent troops to block the gate of the camp. Our army wanted to go out to fight and rescue King Changshan, but we couldn't get out. When the Yan army finished Changshan King and his soldiers, the last general's soldiers were hungry again. , There is no food and grass stored in the camp, and the Yan army blocked us in the camp, trying to force our army to surrender! After half a day, General Zhao and General Hua came to defeat the Yan army, and the last general and Yun Zhongjun were rescued!"

Tuoba Jian's eyes flickered coldly, and he looked at Zhao Junsheng, "Zhao Junsheng, is what Zhu Xiuzhi said true?"

Of course Zhao Junsheng knew that what Zhu Xiuzhi said earlier was the truth, but it was nonsense to say that he was blocked by the Yan army in the camp, but he owed Zhu Xiuzhi a favor, so he had to lie for him: "True, Your Majesty!"

Hua Mulan couldn't help looking at Zhao Junsheng, not understanding why he covered up for Zhu Xiuzhi.

"Hua Mulan, should I believe Zhu Xiuzhi's words?"

Hua Mulan couldn't bear to think about it, she knew she had to cover up for Zhu Xiuzhi, if she said that Zhu Xiuzhi lied, wouldn't it mean that Zhao Junsheng had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor just now?

"Your Majesty, what General Zhu said is true!"

Tuoba Jian kept his gaze on the three of them, and after a while he asked, "How did He Duoluo die?"

Zhao Junsheng replied: "General He Duoluo died in the sneak attack of the Yan army, and the last general and General Hua captured Huang Fuyan, the general of the Yan army who led the attack at that time!"

"Where are their bodies?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, due to the hot weather and the lack of anything to preserve the corpses, the general decided to bury them according to the size of their titles before they were alive, and brought their clothes and belongings here!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng turned around and waved to the outside of the hall, "Send it in!"

Two soldiers walked into the hall with a set of clothes and belongings.

It took Tuoba Jian a long time to come back to his senses, he raised his hand, and the two eunuchs stepped forward to take the clothes and retreated.

Tuoba Jian calmed down his emotions, and said: "Okay, let's talk about the siege. My plan is to wait until the siege piles up.

After getting up, we will attack the city, but before that, we must block the walls on all sides.Our army must not only encircle the city, but also prepare enough troops to prevent the Yan army from breaking through. The strength of the army on the South Road is slightly insufficient!Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, I order you two to lead your troops and horses to take over the siege of the southern city wall, and the Wangshi army that was replaced will withdraw! "

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan immediately clasped their hands together and agreed, "Obey!"

Tuobaqiu, the Duke of Changli, stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, our army is digging a moat outside the city. The Yan army in the city will definitely not be willing to be trapped by our army, nor will they watch us finish digging the moat. It is recommended to prepare enough soldiers and horses to prevent the Yan army from going out of the city to attack!"

Tuoba Jian thought for a moment, then looked at Cui Hao, "Cui Qing, what do you think?"

Cui Hao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Changli Lord said is not unreasonable, and you should take precautions. As the saying goes, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and dogs will jump over walls when they are in a hurry. It is right to take precautions!"

"Good!" Tuobajian nodded, and issued an order: "Tuobaqiu, I will give you command of the 2 cavalry army and the left wing army, and let Hejian Gong Tuobaqi be your deputy general. Prepare to meet the Yan army's breakout and raid!

"I will obey your orders!"

After coming out of the palace, Hua Mulan followed Zhao Junsheng closely, "Brother Junsheng, why did you cover up for Zhu Xiuzhi? Do you know that this is too dangerous? Once the emperor becomes suspicious, he will definitely send someone to investigate. How can we hide it? Can you live? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Zhao Junsheng said helplessly: "In order to save you, I promised to owe him a favor when I borrowed soldiers from him. I have to repay this favor! Don't worry, those captives are all locked up in White Wolf City. If someone checks, they must go to White Wolf City, the people staying in White Wolf City are my people, I will send people there overnight to arrange, and there will be no problems!"

Although Zhao Junsheng said that there was a way to cover up this matter, Hua Mulan always felt uneasy.

At night, in a remote corner of the camp, a young eunuch came over. He looked left and right, held his right hand with his left hand, and kept walking back and forth.

Guo Yi stepped out from a nearby tent, "Eunuch Pan, long time no see!"

Eunuch Pan looked around, and immediately said: "What's the matter with calling our family over so late, tell me quickly, our family is still waiting to go back to serve the emperor, it's no joke to be late!"

Guo Yi asked: "After the imperial court was disbanded today, what did the emperor say and do? Who did he meet and what did he say? My master wants to know clearly!"

······

A moment later, Eunuch Pan left in a hurry, and Guo Yi turned around and flashed like a dark shadow.

Soon, he appeared at the Youzhou military camp outside the southern city of Longcheng, and soon came to Yazhang.

"General, this subordinate is back!"

Zhao Junsheng put the saber that had just been wiped back into the scabbard, raised his head and asked, "How did the investigation go, what did he say?"

"He said that the emperor has become suspicious. Just now, the emperor secretly summoned Yao Guangyuan of Bailu Division and ordered him to send someone to investigate the real cause of death of He Duoluo and Changshan King Tuobasu!"

After coming out of the palace, Zhao Junsheng sent people to intercept the people going to White Wolf City halfway. There should be no problems, but there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. It is not impossible for interceptors to go around.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and then told Guo Yi: "Take two reliable people with shovels and wait for me outside the fence outside the south gate. Don't be discovered!"

"Yes!" Guo Yi didn't know what Zhao Junsheng was going to do, but he didn't dare to ask, so he agreed to turn around and walk out of the tent.

Zhao Junsheng took off his saber, held it in his hand, turned around and walked out of the tent, and waved to Li Bao who was about to follow: "Don't follow, I'll come back after walking around the camp!"

Li Bao and others stopped after hearing this.
