my wife is mulan

On the sixth day, the generals of all the troops were unwilling to fight any more. No matter how aggressive Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng were, it didn't work.

On the morning of the second day of October, which was already the seventh day when the generals took turns to attack the city, Cao Jiao hurried into the Yazhang and said to Zhao Junsheng, "General, He Xijing has escaped!"

"Run away? Where did you go?" Zhao Junsheng asked while eating breakfast, but he soon realized something, and suddenly got up and said, "Wait, you mean he led the army to retreat?"

"Yes, I passed by his camp just now. The camp was eerily quiet. There were no archers on the archery tower. The gate of the camp was opened. I walked in and saw that it was empty and there was no one there. They must have sneaked away last night. Already!"

The biscuits in Zhao Junsheng's hand fell to the ground, "It's over, once the news spreads, the other generals will scramble to lead their troops to retreat. It's no wonder that the Yan army in the city doesn't send troops to hunt down and kill Mulan! Call, I want to discuss with her!"

"Yes!" After Cao Jiao agreed, he immediately went out and sent someone to find Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan hurried over and asked, "Brother Junsheng, what's the rush?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Last night He Xijing led his troops to withdraw. It is not clear which route we took. We will not be able to catch up if we want to, but I can be sure that once other generals hear the news, they will definitely lead their troops to withdraw one after another. Let's go, when the time comes, the army will fight for the road, not to mention the crowd, the Yan army may chase from behind, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hua Mulan's expression changed, "Then what should I do? Just leave like this?"

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Someone started this, and we can't hold back! The news of this song can't be kept for a long time, we can't be left behind, listen to me, take the right wing army to the palace right now Transport the coffins and coffins of the emperor and the ministers accompanying the army, and immediately take the North Road to Shicheng, and I will take the Youzhou Army to kill you!"

"Okay!" Hua Mulan had no choice but to follow what Zhao Junsheng said.

The big retreat has begun, and such a big move is naturally impossible to hide from the defenders in the city. The big retreat of the Wei army is destined to turn into a big rout.

Chapter 540

In the camp, everyone was busy at a fast pace. Some were packing up the tents, some were packing their luggage, and some were loading food, supplies and trophies into the carriages.

Zhao Junsheng stood outside the dental tent holding a waist knife and looked at the busy soldiers. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. How could this barbarian, He Xijing, lead his troops to evacuate in the middle of the night without notifying the other generals?You must know that this guy had made a poisonous oath before that he would not destroy Dragon City and never be a teacher, and he forgot all about it after only a few days?Judging from his usual performance, although this guy is reckless and short-tempered, he is not a shameless person!

Why did He Xijing suddenly and secretly lead his troops to retreat?Is it because the siege caused too many casualties?This is unlikely, even if the casualties in the siege are too great, the siege can be postponed and other methods can be thought of, why sneak away without saying a word?This is not in line with common sense!

There must be other reasons!

At this moment, Guo Yi rushed over and reported with fists in his hands, "General, something is wrong. I just got the news that a Southern Dynasty navy with [-] soldiers landed on Binhai Road and occupied Jieshi Mountain!"

Zhao Junsheng's face changed greatly upon hearing this: "What? Is this news reliable?"

Guo Yi said with a serious face: "It is absolutely reliable. It was brought back by a messenger who just came from Ji County. He just passed Jieshi Mountain and saw with his own eyes the navy of the Southern Dynasty landed and occupied Jieshi Mountain and started construction. The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty found out. After chasing him for two full days, he was forced to hide and hide and finally escaped to report!"

Zhao Junsheng understood now, no wonder Hexi Jing led his troops to withdraw suddenly late last night, and he took the north road, Hexi Jing must have received the news last night, so he hurriedly withdrew.

By the way, where is Jieshi Mountain?That's right, it is the Shanhaiguan area in later generations, which was called Jieshi in this period. Cao Cao led his army to pass by Jieshi Mountain during his northern expedition to Karasuma, and it is here that Jieshi was mentioned in his famous poem "Guan Canghai".

Of course Zhao Junsheng knew that the terrain of Jieshishang was dangerous. For the Southern Dynasty troops who were good at defense, as long as they occupied this place and built camps, with the siege capabilities of the Northern Wei army, it was basically impossible to break through.

The occupation of Jieshi Mountain by the troops of the Southern Dynasty was equivalent to cutting off a route of retreat for the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. How could He Xijing, who was the first to get the news, not panic?

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and immediately called Li Bao and others to rush to the palace. He was worried that Hua Mulan would be stopped by the guards when she was transporting the emperor's coffin in the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, as expected, the soldiers guarding the coffins of the emperor and ministers would be people from Daqian. Naturally, they refused to hand over the coffins to Hua Mulan, and the two sides almost fought. When he arrived, Hua Mulan Zheng and Lai Daqian confronted each other. 16595

"What's going on? They're still using their weapons? Put them down, put them down!" Zhao Junsheng led people into the side hall and shouted loudly.

Hua Mulan knew that Zhao Junsheng was coming, so she waved her hand and led the soldiers back a few steps to create a distance.

When Lai Daqian saw Zhao Junsheng coming in, he immediately yelled and asked, "Zhao Junsheng, what are you and Hua Mulan planning to do? You even took away the coffins of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army without permission. I will not rest with you!"

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the general behind Lai Daqian: "Let your men put away their weapons, I have a few words I want to talk to you alone! Mulan, let your men go out too, you can stay!"

Lai Daqian hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand: "Everyone get out!"

When Hua Mulan saw that Daqian had driven all her men out, she also gestured and ordered the soldiers to retreat.

Zhao Junsheng walked up to the emperor's spiritual seat and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I originally planned to inherit Your Majesty's behest to conquer the Dragon City and destroy the Yan Kingdom, and bring the territory of the Yan Kingdom into our Wei territory, but the situation is changing rapidly. Don't try your best, but the situation does not allow the ministers to stay here! Last night, He Xijing suddenly led his army to evacuate secretly overnight. This morning, there was news that Jieshi Mountain, Binhai Road, was occupied by a Southern Dynasty navy. The way of retreat has been cut off. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably arouse the morale of the army.

In the chaos, the monarch and ministers of the Yan Kingdom are likely to take the opportunity to send troops. At that time, our army on the Eastern Expedition will be in danger of being wiped out. Please forgive me. I assure you that when the time is right, I will come to attack Yan again, and I will bow and kowtow again! "

Lai Daqian listened to Zhao Junsheng's words verbatim, and his face showed an unprecedented seriousness and he rushed in front of Zhao Junsheng: "General Zhao, what you said just now is true? Are you sure?" Don't joke with this general!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a cold face: "How can such a military matter be trifled with? If the general doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Hexijing's camp to check. There is no one in the camp long ago!"

Hua Mulan said next to him: "Come on, general, think about He Xijing's character. Although he is not very capable, he is a person who cares about face. He is shameless and led the troops to retreat secretly. Can there be a lie?"

When Daqian saw Zhao Junsheng's expression, he knew that there was no need to send someone to ask for proof. He said in a deep voice, "So, we have to withdraw. If we don't withdraw, as long as the news comes, we don't need the Yan army to attack. We ourselves will collapse first, and we must evacuate Dragon City before Yan Kingdom reacts!"

"Now the general understands why I asked Mulan to lead the troops here to take away the coffins of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army? The news of His Majesty's death and the death of the ministers accompanying the army must be sealed. You can't wear sackcloth and mourning, let alone let the drums play Sorrows and joys, the coffins and coffins are covered with black cloth after they are loaded into the car!"

"Does the general want to hand over the coffin and coffin to Mulan and me, or do you want to lead the army to transport it away? If the general wants to transport it away by ourselves, Mulan and I will lead the troops to cover the general's retreat; if the general is willing to hand over the coffin and coffin If Mulan and I are transported away, the general must lead troops to cover our retreat! In short, the coffins of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army must not fall into the hands of Yan people, otherwise we will have to commit suicide to thank the world!"

Lai Daqian knew that what Zhao Junsheng said was right, someone had to cover the coffins of the emperor and the ministers accompanying the army and evacuate them. Failure to protect the safety of the emperor and ministers accompanying the army was a serious dereliction of duty by them. If the coffins of the ministers were snatched by the Yan army, then a hundred deaths would not be enough to atone for their sins.

Lai Daqian made a choice in an instant: "I will protect the coffins of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army in the future, and I also ask General Zhao and General Hua to send troops to cover it!"

Zhao Junsheng agreed: "Yes, the general has one day to prepare, but I remind the general that it is best not to bring too heavy items, which will affect the speed of the march. Now we are retreating, not marching, and we should travel lightly! God After dark, you can set off again, and Mulan and I will lead the army to follow up at dawn tomorrow, as for the other armies, we can only resign ourselves to fate!"

Lai Daqian nodded, and said, "How do you block the news during the day today? He Xijing's camp is already empty, and other soldiers will definitely find out!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I have sent troops to take over the camp and guard the camp gates, watchtowers, etc. The other armies will not know that they have changed, but they will definitely wonder why the camp is so quiet. I will send someone to inform the other generals of the army. Let’s just say that He Xijing has learned about Zhu Xiuzhi’s news and has led his troops to chase after him, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to drag it until dark!”

"Okay, that's it!"

There are too many generals in the army, and it is not easy to block the news. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan took a lot of effort to fool the generals of the army.

After Xu time that night, Lai Daqian sent people to load the coffins of the emperor and ministers into cars, and led his troops to quietly transport them away.

After midnight, Zhao Junsheng sent people to invite the generals of the various armies to discuss matters.

This was the first time that Zhao Junsheng sent people to invite these generals to discuss military affairs, and everyone came here with curiosity.

"Hey, where's the old man?" Tuobaqiu couldn't help asking when he realized that besides He Xijing, only Lai Daqian was not here.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan came in, came to the main seat, turned around and said to the generals: "Everyone, let me tell you some bad news, Jieshi Mountain on Binhai Road has been occupied by a Southern Dynasty navy, and our retreat has been cut off! "

"What?" The generals stood up in shock, and their faces changed drastically.

Zhao Junsheng pressed his hand: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Although the Binhai Road has been cut off, we can still go.

To be honest, He Xijing did not pursue Zhu Xiuzhi, but quietly led his troops away last night. He got the news earlier than all of us! "

When the generals heard the words, they all jumped into a rage and cursed, "This bastard is as cowardly as a mouse, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he only pretends to be brave, and he can run faster than anyone else when encountering major events!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Junsheng had to stop, "I got the news this morning, and I discussed it with the general first, and asked him to lead the army to take the coffins of His Majesty and the ministers accompanying the army. It has been more than an hour since we set off, and it is time for our armies to retreat one after another. The retreat must not be chaotic, and we must not be caught by the Yan army in the city..."

Before Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, Tuobaqiu stood up and clasped his fists and said, "General Zhao, you should discuss it first, I suddenly feel anxious, come as soon as you go!"

Not long after this guy left, Tuoba Qi also got up and said: "Oh, I have diarrhea, I can't do it, I have to go to make it easier!"

After Tuoba Qi ran away, Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Yuan He, Wei Juan and others didn't understand that they ran back to gather people to prepare to run away.
