my wife is mulan

Zhao Junsheng said: "No, you forgot a team! It is the 7000 Youzhou heavy soldiers led by Mao Xiuzhi. Counting this team, we have a total of 3000 people, but his [-] people are not very good at fighting. They are infantry, but there is one advantage, the luggage is in our hands!"

Hua Mulan frowned and said, "Brother Junsheng, I can't trust this Mao Xiuzhi, his relationship with Zhu Xiuzhi..."

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Don't say you can't trust him, and I can't trust him, but it doesn't mean that if you don't trust him, you can't use it. As long as you can control it well, you won't be afraid of him making troubles!"

Back in the camp, the generals of both sides have already arranged vigilance and patrolling. There are mounds and trenches stretching for several miles in front of them. There is no need to worry too much about the Yan army going out of the city to attack. Just set up some vigilance on the mounds. Even if the Yan army goes out of the city to attack, as long as the warning post issues an alarm in time, he will have enough time to gather troops.

Inside the dental tent, the wick of the oil lamp was burning quietly, and Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng were kneeling facing each other.

Zhao Junsheng said with a sullen face: "According to my prediction, this Eastern Expedition will definitely end in an anticlimactic end. It's just a pity that we have experienced several wars before, with countless casualties and occupied Pingzhou, Bingzhou and other places. In the end, I'm afraid I will be forced to throw it back to the Yan Kingdom!"

Hua Mulan also felt a pity, and said: "Yes! Even His Majesty is dead now, judging by the faces of those generals tonight, I'm afraid this battle can't go on, but I don't understand. Don't be mean to these people, why didn't a single person feel grateful for His Majesty's kindness and rise up to launch a fierce attack on Dragon City? Even if people leave the tea, it's not so fast, right? Ruthless!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It's not what you said, it's not that these people don't want to avenge the emperor, it's not that they don't want to continue the war, but because the dragons have no leader, there is no one with enough prestige to unite these people, so they only care about For our own interests, even if we want to continue the war and avenge the emperor, but we are worried about being plotted against by others, and worried that our strength will be used up as a substitute for dead ghosts and cannon fodder. In fact, why are we not? Everyone just cares about saving No one wants to stand out because of their strength, because they have to be cannon fodder, and no one wants to be led by the nose as a fool!"

"We clearly know that this is not good for anyone, and the best choice is to work together, but we don't trust each other enough. After all, people are separated by belly, and they are suspicious of each other.

And defense, how can we use our strength in one place? "

Hua Mulan was also a little reconciled, and said, "Throw away the land we got and let Yan Guo take it back. Wouldn't our brothers who died in battle die in vain?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a long time, and said to Hua Mulan: "The power in our hands is still too weak. If we want to keep our vested interests, we have to increase our troops and weaken the strength of Yan Kingdom at the same time!"

Hua Mulan said: "I think you can first transfer Gao Xu's 4000 troops to the vicinity of Shicheng. Shicheng is close to here, and a quick march can arrive there in one day, which can handle the departure situation! We have to think of a way!"

After hearing what Hua Mulan said, Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "It is indeed a way to transfer Gao Xu's 4000 troops. In addition, we can reorganize those captives and make them obey orders with generous rewards and military salaries! After reorganization, there are about 3000 people, plus Gao Xu's 4000 troops, even if we don't count the 1 soldiers, we can get together about [-] troops!"

"But in this way, our demand for food and grass will triple!" Hua Mulan said.

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "The supply camp is in my hands, of course we have to supply our own troops first!"

After finishing speaking, he shouted to the outside: "Come on, call Mao Xiuzhi!"

In the middle of the night, Mao Xiuzhi walked over anxiously. He was worried that Zhao Junsheng knew about Zhu Xiuzhi's relationship with him, and he was even more worried that it would be exposed that Zhu Xiuzhi had visited him in his camp before defecting.

"The lower official has seen the envoy, but I don't know what the envoy's order is for calling the next official late at night?"

Chapter 538 Plan ahead

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Prefect Mao, how much food and grass are there in the camp?"

Mao Xiuzhi replied: "My lord, the remaining food and grass can feed 5 people for [-] days!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "How long do you think this battle can last?"

"I don't know about this... I don't know, it depends on how long the envoy and the other generals want to fight, right?"

"It's not how long we want to fight, but how long the situation allows us to fight!" Zhao Junsheng shook his head, "I remember that the distribution of food and grass was distributed by the supply battalion according to the number of troops in each army, right? Now the distribution of food and grass I’m afraid that the supply battalion will be the master!”

Mao Xiuzhi wondered, "Why?"

Hua Mulan answered him: "I used to think that the emperor was here, and the emperor asked you to do this. The other generals naturally had nothing to say. Now that the emperor is dead, the generals in command will not wait to raise more food for themselves. You go to distribute it to them, but you will take the initiative to carry it to the supply camp. If you don’t give it, they will beat you, and you can only be beaten for nothing, because you can’t beat it, and no one will make decisions for you if you are beaten! The original share, if one or two armies get more food and grass than the original share, they will take away the share belonging to other armies, how do you explain to the other generals?"

Zhao Junsheng finished the sentence for Hua Mulan: "They will definitely be dissatisfied. If you can't provide them with food and grass that satisfy them, they will tear you to pieces! Then, your death will be in vain!"

"Ah... what should I do?" Mao Xiuzhi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt down in front of Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan with a plop, "You two generals, help me! But ever since he came to work in the Great Wei, he has been conscientious and has never dared to slack off. There are old mothers and grandchildren in the lower ranks, and dozens of members of the family will be lowered to survive! The lower ranks are the prefect of Fan Yang, and they are the envoys. His direct subordinates, Shijun must save the subordinate officials!"

Seeing Mao Xiuzhi's pitiful words, Zhao Junsheng sighed: "Forget it, I can't just leave you alone, I will write you a letter of appointment, and you will be the prefect of Youbeiping. Tomorrow morning, you will bring a few Followers, go to Wuzhong County to take office!"

Mao Xiuzhi wept with joy, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, envoy, thank you for your life!"

After Mao Xiuzhi left, Zhao Junsheng found Li Bao and asked him to send someone to deliver an order to Gao Xu, asking Gao Xu to bring troops to Shicheng to stand by.

Early the next morning, Mao Xiuzhi hurried to You Beiping with a few entourages and Zhao Junsheng's letter of appointment to take office. In fact, according to the rules, Zhao Junsheng, the governor of Youzhou, did not have the right to appoint the prefect, and he did not even have the right to appoint a prefect. The county magistrate has the right to appoint the imperial court, and the governor only has the right to suspend and impeach him, but Mao Xiuzhi can't care so much now, so naturally Zhao Junsheng will handle this matter.

After breakfast in the army, the three captains of the supply camp were called to Yazhang by someone sent by Zhao Junsheng.

"My subordinate Ma Guang pays respects to the envoy and Du Tong!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Let's all be excused!"

"Thank you envoy!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the three of them and said slowly: "The prefect Mao who is in charge of the supplies has other business. The general has sent him to You Beiping as the prefect, but there must be someone in charge of the supplies camp. I will decide from the three of you." Among them, appoint one person to be the captain of the supply camp and take full charge of the supply camp affairs!"

The three of them looked at Zhao Junsheng immediately after hearing the words, their eyes were full of hope. Although the three of them were called captains, they were not actually captains. , Some lieutenants even have more power than generals.

Duwei is the highest military rank among the county soldiers, and there are only a few in Youzhou.

Zhao Junsheng said to Cao Jiao: "Cao Jiao, you are the commander in charge of the prefectures and counties, and you can recommend the candidate of the captain of the supply camp!"

Cao Jiao's eyes are on the three

The man turned around, then clasped his fists to Zhao Junsheng and said, "General, my subordinates recommend Wei Ang, the head of the battalion, to be the captain of the supply battalion!"

Wei Ang was shocked immediately, and the eyes of the groom and Dulan dimmed significantly.

"I can trust Cao Dutong's vision!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said to Wei Ang: "Wei Ang, I will appoint you as the captain of the supply camp from now on, don't disappoint Cao Dutong's treatment of you." Don't let the general trust you, and do it well!"

Wei Ang immediately said: "Yes, General! Thank you, General and Cao Dutong, for your support. The subordinates must...dedicate themselves to death!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled, and said to Ma Guang and Du Lang: "Don't be discouraged if the two of you were not selected. Now my Youzhou has added many territories in Youbeiping and Liaoxi, and even Pingzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou is occupied by our army, and there are many official positions, as long as you work hard, you will always have a chance to get promoted!"

Ma Guang and Du Lang were shocked when they heard the words, and they immediately clasped their fists and agreed: "Yes, we will definitely cooperate with Captain Wei!"

"That's good! The general is now entrusting you with a task. After you go back, organize people to transport 5000 people for a month to this general's battalion, and then leave the food and grass you need for the [-] soldiers. Send the rest of the luggage to each army according to the quota they should have received. Don’t leave anything in the camp of the luggage camp except your own food and grass! Don’t ask anything, let alone inquire about it. Just do it. If other people ask, you will say that you are following orders, understand?"

"Yes!" The three of Wei Ang clasped their fists in agreement, then turned and left.

Soon, Lai Daqian sent someone to invite Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan to the palace to discuss matters.

Although the generals in charge of the army don't really buy Lai Daqian's account, but Lai Daqian can't ignore everything. After all, his official position is the highest. If he doesn't care, how will he explain to the court after returning to the court?How to explain to Xinjun?

The generals who commanded the army came to the main hall one after another, and after waiting for a long time, He Xijing became a little impatient, and shouted, "Come on Daqian, talk about something quickly! What are you doing!"

Lai Daqian hated He Xijing very much, but he couldn't fall out with him. He still had to find a way to win over these generals, so as not to let them go their own way.

At this time, a soldier walked in quickly and reported to Daqian with his fists clasped: "General Qi, my subordinates went to the camp of Guoshi and Cui Taichang to deliver a message, but they were not seen. They searched around in the camp, but they still could not be found!"

Lai Daqian frowned: "Where did they go this early in the morning?"

Zhao Junsheng realized what happened to each other, and asked the soldier, "Is the luggage in their camp still there?"

"The luggage is still there!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Where are their followers?"

"Can't find their follower!"
