General's tent.
"Su He Shijun, is this really too risky?"
Tuoba Yan, who was wearing a general uniform, looked at Su Hejun with some hesitation.
When the celebrity next to the emperor came, he didn't come to him first, but to General Xia Hong, which made Tuobayan very annoyed, and made it clear that he trusted Xia Hong even more.
What's more, when Su Hejun first came, he encountered the incident where the Right Army almost mutinied and Hua Mulan was forced to go to the Yingyang Army. Although he didn't hide his identity after that, but after passing the air with Tuobayan, he carried the token that the army used to travel around, and began to wander around the Montenegro camp happily, also known as "secretly investigate the military." ","Selection of personnel".
Now he went to Mulan's side.
This is already telling him directly that Hua Mulan is the "talent" he looks at, and don't move anymore.
A few days ago, he didn't know why he ran to the Gaoche people who belonged to him. After staying for a few days, he suggested that he send Gaoche soldiers in the army to take the warriors of the Gaoche tribe to Rouran to contact the remaining Gaoche. of the people.
Although Su Hejun is the second person of the egret official and the "official envoy" known as "egret eyes", but he is also the general in command of the three armies, so listening to an egret's advice, doing this may be completely possible The matter of sending people to Rouran in vain...
"This is a good opportunity to come to your door, isn't it? I lived in Gaoche's Tianqionglu for a few days. The hatred of Gaoche's people towards Rouran people is stronger than that of our big Wei towards Rouran people. In this case, it is necessary to contact Gao Cheren to find out the details of Rouran."
In fact, Su and Jun have always had the idea of sending scouts to the desert, but they were all rejected by Tuoba Tao. It is not easy to cultivate an egret official, and Rouran is not a khanate with a fixed position of the king's tent. Going to the vast grassland to search and inquire aimlessly, it is just a needless loss of manpower.
But looking for tall people, the goal is much clearer.
"When the time comes, the general who sent Gao Che's soldiers will also be praised by everyone as a person of great foresight. Think about it, when His Majesty gave an order to conquer Rouran, you have already found out about the king through Gao Che people. The location of the tent, and the support of Gaoche people, all the way, the water and grass are plentiful and the food and grass are worry-free, isn't it a victory? To be honest, I also hope that the heroes of Montenegro who have fought against Rouran for many years get the head of Rouran Khan. , not the new army that popped up out of there..."
Su Hejun knew that what this old clan was most worried about was that he would be replaced by Tuoba Fan, who was recently red and purple.
He performed very well against Xia Guo, and now there are many calls in Beijing for him to come to the Montenegro camp to replace Tuobayan.
And as His Majesty completely wiped out the Xia Kingdom, it was imminent to launch a general attack on Rouran. At that time, whether it is the bald prince, the Yulin army in Beijing, or even the clan army of the Han people, they will all get a share of the results of the conquest of Rouran.
Whoever finds the king's tent the fastest and captures King Rouran Khan's meritorious deeds will be able to go a step further and be at the height of his power in the army.
Su Hejun's persuasion finally made Tuoba Yan shaken. For him, secretly dispatching these people is just to give Gaoche people a hope, and the loss is only dozens of Gaoche soldiers. Whether it is successful or not, it will not hurt him. The rewards are great.
All he has to lose is some time, material and energy.
"Listening to Su He's envoy, it makes some sense. It's just that Gaoche people managed to escape all the way to Dawei. Are you really willing to follow our messenger back? And this messenger..."
"I think that Gao Che soldier named Di Yefei in the right army is very good. He has good martial arts skills and is also smart. Even if he falls into the hands of Rouran, based on his appearance, he should not die..."
But it's no better than death.
"I observed him for a few days. He is a man with ideas and ambitions. Those Gaoche soldiers in the same army also obey him and can be the leader."
Su Hejun had already thought about everything.
"As for letting Gaoche people who are familiar with the path lead the way, it shouldn't be a problem. Although Di lives in branches, the branches are all related by blood. We will send people to contact Gaoche people, and then we will send people to take these Di. The old and young of the Bugaoche people secretly took them back to Weijing, and they will definitely help us desperately for the sake of the young and old of the clan.”
"This… "
Tuobayan was a little unhappy when he heard that he would send someone to bring back the old and young.
All the boys and girls in the army went to wander on the grassland, and the women, children, young and old who were brought back...
"Master General, if there is no more concern in the clan, who is willing to give up everything and work hard with the Rouran people?" Su Hejun said with a half-smiling smile: "I am giving you a credit, if you are unwilling to accept it, then I will send a letter back to Beijing, and if I want to come, the Great Khan will definitely be willing to send it..."
"Suhe envoy, you don't have to threaten me!" Tuoba Yan glared angrily and said angrily, "Since I am a general, I naturally have to consider it for the army. If this doesn't work, Erlang in the army desperately takes over. Countless women and children come back, who will feed them? Do you know how much the Montenegro camp consumes a day? Could it be that I have to let the soldiers in the army starve and fight the enemy desperately? It has been a few nights for the extra 3,000 people in the army tent. No sleep!"
At this moment, he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies in the Montenegro camp, the mainstay of the Tuoba family.
Such Tuoba Yan made Su Hejun awe-inspiring and bowed to the ground:
"Don't worry, General, if you are worried about this, you can hand it over to the lower official. I will report the importance of this matter to Your Majesty, and ask Beijing to place these women and children. Gaoche people are very important and should not be ignored. The general should make a decision sooner rather than later!"
"What guarantees can I give you, joke!"
Just an egret official!
Su Hejun gritted his teeth and took out a warrant from his chest.
The word "Yu" on the token was imprinted in Tuoba Yan's eyes. Such a token made Tuoba Yan take a deep breath and hurriedly bowed down.
"When I left Beijing, His Majesty entrusted me that the Montenegrin Camp is important and must not be lost. To be honest, Beijing has always been very worried about the Montenegrin Camp, and the contradiction between the three armies is not unheard of in Beijing. I came to the army, Naturally, there are certain reasons for this, but more of it is to share the worries for Your Majesty."
Su Hejun put away the warrant.
"I came to the Montenegro Camp not long ago, but I saw that although the Montenegro Camp has some shortcomings, it is not as bad as those courtiers in Beijing said. . General, what you need now is to give these people a beautiful counterattack, not to continue to stick to the rules!"
Tuoba Yan's face turned from blue to red, and finally he gritted his teeth.
"Come here, please come to see you, General Xia Hong of the Right Army, Li Canjun, Lu Canjun, and Fan Canjun under the army account!"
***
Di Yefei, who went to Gaocheren's camp, did give everyone a surprise.
According to his own words, his ancestors were a very important branch in the Di tribe, who controlled the secret of the Gaoche people's "fire".
It is precisely because of his identity and the background of the surname "Di" that Di Yefei quickly became the link between Gaoche and the Montenegro camp. Gaoche people began to reveal more and more softness through Di Yefei. However, Di Yefei also frequently contacted He Mulan and several people to seek more benefits for the Gaoche people who went south.
Di Yefei, who has found "mission" and "faith", is like a polished diamond, exuding a brilliance that makes people unable to open their eyes.
Gaoche people respectfully called him "Aqihuo", which means "the person in charge of the fire", but in fact Di Yefei never learned anything about controlling the fire.
He is not a pure Gao Che, and his mother has nothing to do with Gao Che. His grandfather never told him the slightest secret about the "stove" that the Goche people smelted.
This skill was passed on to his uncle, who was also an ordinary military household. Di Yefei was weak and was not liked by his father, and his father married a trickster from the Western Regions, and he did not like his grandfather. grandfather, who entrusted all his efforts and expectations to his uncle.
Di Yefei's uncle was a lieutenant of Rouxuan. Most of Di Yefei's martial arts came from his uncle's teaching, and his weapon, the double moon halberd that envy countless soldiers in the army, was his uncle. manufactured.
The Aqibing family forges weapons, Aqihuo is responsible for making and guarding the furnace, and Aqizhen is responsible for passing on the wisdom of the tribe, recording the names and identities of the people of the tribe, as well as birth, old age, sickness and death. Aqishi was responsible for hunting and obtaining food, while Aqiwu was responsible for bartering and trading with various ethnic groups.
The Di surname is an extremely large tribe among the Chile people, but it is not a prominent tribe. Because they perform their respective duties, under the division and combination, there has never been a leader-like figure leading them, nor can they be completely united.
In contrast, the Hulu Department and Yuan He Department, which are smaller than them, have always lived in groups and are very united, although their numbers are small.
Gaoche people have long discovered that it is easy to give birth to deformed children when they get married. Therefore, among Gaoche people, before getting married, men go to other tribes, find a girl they like, and be a son or two in someone else’s house. After two years, the woman's family pays the property as compensation for the loss of the man's labor, and it is not until the end of the two years that he returns to his tribe with his wife.
Gaoche people gathered closely together through such a marriage relationship. Di Yefei, an ancestor named Di Fei, once married the daughter of the patriarch of the Hulu tribe. Since then, he has formed a deep friendship with Hulu and fought against Rouran together. For a long time, this is the history of struggle that many descendants of Di surnamed relish.
And after so many years, Di Fei's descendants are still sitting on the same thing as their ancestors, fighting against the Rouran people, so this tall car's clansmen admire Di Yefei so much.
Di Yefei could not find a sense of belonging in Dawei. He is not from Xianbei, so he is not recognized by most of the military households in the army. He is not a complete Gaoche man, so Gaoche soldiers are always happy to talk about his blue eyes. His appearance is God's gift, but he is also God's outcast.
But now, Gaoche people are coming, Gaoche's Di race is coming, Dawei needs a Gaoche person like him, and Gaoche needs a Dawei person like him.
He found his true place.
He Mulan, who was also a close friend, and several others were genuinely happy for Di Yefei. The happiest among them was He Mulan.
She has most of Mulan's memory, but in most of her memory, in fact, the most profound thing about Di Yefei's content is that kiss, that song, and that spring dream.
Di Yefei left Hua Mulan very early, and his life trajectories rarely overlapped with Hua Mulan. When he was standing guard beside the emperor, Hua Mulan was killing the enemy; when he was fighting with the old guard beside the emperor for his future, Hua Mulan was killing the enemy; when he was appreciated by Cui Hao and quickly climbed to the emperor's side, Hua Mulan Still killing the enemy.
Hua Mulan didn't know what Di Yefei went through, and neither did He Mulan. Even later, Di Yefei succumbed to the arrangement of Lord Xianbei and settled for a girl who was not very happy. Hua Mulan had never met Di Yefei at that time, nor the girl at that time, but only knew each other from the letters. recent situation.
It's like an old friend who was very good at first, and gradually leaves. You can't feel much emotional fluctuations in those lost feelings.
But He Mulan met the middle-aged Di Yefei. At that time, Di Yefei was already the "General of Zhenxi" with the blood of foreign races in his hands full of blood from the Western Regions.
He accepts others' criticism, contempt and obscene eyes, high reputation for high-ranking dignitaries, embarrassment that his fiancée would rather die than marry, he has killed Rouran, Liang, Qin, Qiang, Lushui, Hu and Han people, and he has played with power He was also played by power and tricks, and he reported Tuoba Huang's thigh in the insecurity that he might be abandoned at all times, until he met He Mulan again.
Why didn't Di Yefei have a deep friendship with Mulan for so many years
He Mulan sometimes thought about it carefully, probably because he felt that his past in the Montenegro camp was the most beautiful. Because at that time, there were the same fire fighting each other, the late-night sewing of Hua Mulan, the admiration of the recruits like a "goddess in the army", and the pride that came from the heart when they successfully fought against the Rouran people...
And then Di Yefei, who was changed beyond recognition in order to climb up, was afraid that he didn't want to expose these contents to his former classmates and friends. He wanted to make himself the "Bloody Beauty" Di Yefei forever.
Di Yefei became the general of Zhenxi and successfully won the fearful eyes of countless people. The suffocating energy in his body can be controlled freely, he no longer takes his appearance as shame, he will follow the persuasion of He Mulan and Tuoba Huang to do what "Mrs. Di Ji", endure the admiring eyes from the same sex, and continue for his own future struggle.
What self-esteem, beliefs, may have long ago did not know where to go. The middle-aged Di Yefei, alone and fighting alone, probably only had the thoughts of "I want to climb to a high place" and "I want others to not underestimate me".
These thoughts were the thoughts that came to He Mulan when she saw Di Yefei, who was still young and still had blood in her heart after she traveled to this world.
If he returned to that world, He Mulan would find Di Yefei, who was covered in the smell of the desolate desert in the Western Regions, and give him a deep hug.
In this era, whether it is a Han Chinese or a mixed hu, as long as they come from the bottom, it is really hard to live.
And what He Mulan admired and loved more was Di Yefei at this time.
He was beaming when he mentioned that last night, a tall woman gave birth to a child with difficulty. Although it was only a little big and her body was not very good, the clan still named him "Di Wei". "I hope he grows up safely.
tsxsw.la
He would say that in order to preserve their strength, the Gaoche people had to disperse the originally huge clan into countless small clans and scattered them all over the vast grassland, so that when the Rouran people recruited troops and robbed them, they could only find very few people, few things. The Gaoche people will meet at the foot of the Turkic Jinshan at a fixed time, exchange the fire for survival, and accept children who have lost their parents and parents who have lost their children.
He rarely talked about his parents before, but now he will talk about how amazing his grandfather used to be, who could raise a furnace higher than the flames of a Han Chinese furnace, forge iron ore into steel, and remove impurities a little bit. stripped from metal.
He said that his nickname "Aqihuo" was not true, but he didn't look unhappy at all. He even asked for instructions from the army to join the army, and was going to invite his uncle to come. With so many tall "Aqizhen" here, he may be able to add many real weapons to the army.
This is the power of belief.
Mulan's belief is to "go back alive"; He Mulan's belief is to "live with dignity", and Di Yefei's belief is to "find your place".
"In summer, when the water and grass are at their most abundant, they meet at the foot of the Turkic Jinshan Mountain. Aqihuo plucks seeds that can make a furnace, and the various tribes of the Dibu exchange their wealth and everything they depend on for survival, and then drive away in a high-vehicle car. Continue to struggle to survive the next year."
Di Yefei used a dirge-like tone to talk about the experiences that Gao Che and him told.
He Mulan thought about the location of the Turkic Golden Mountain, which was probably the Altai Mountain in later generations. Speaking of this, He Mulan remembered that there are abundant coal resources there.
It turns out that the "tinder" of Gaocheren is coal. Yes, there are not many trees on the grasslands, and there is little natural charcoal. To be able to use coal and find a way to fully burn the coal is probably the secret of the "melting furnace" of the Gaoche family.
She suddenly found out that she knew Gao Cheren's secret, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Under the powerful information resources of later generations, everyone has become a "wise man" who knows many things.
Di Yefei's words continued.
"Gaoche's Hulu, Yuanhe, Xiehu, Boneguard, and Yiqijin tribes were originally powerful tribes, and now too many people have died. The men of Gaoche were dragged to fight, and the women Become the target of the ravages / ravages of the worms, the old people are killed by the worms when the food is not enough, just so that they can hand over some more food. The children are so small that they can't grow into adults... "
There was hatred in his eyes.
"The people who could make iron tools died on the anvil, those who made leather helmets, and those who made arrowheads were forced to hand over the things they made to the enemies who tortured their people. What my people told me, let me do this The Gaoche aliens in Wei are ashamed..."
He is ashamed.
He was here to feel sorry for himself because of his beauty, and the raging anger he raised because of other people's strange eyes here turned into shame after hearing these encounters.
What is real discrimination? Isn't it considered "human"
What he has experienced before, how can it be called "humiliation".
At least, these fellow fires, these fellow robes, had worked hard with him.
At least, they still have a chance to resist Rouran desperately.
He Mulan and several others listened to Di Yefei telling his stories without saying a word.
For some people living in the declining tribal master's family, it seems to be a very common thing to have a maid to warm the bed, to have a slave to call, and to let the military slave die for them.
But the experience of Gaocheren made him unable to say such words. He began to wonder if he had killed Gaoche people in the process of his expedition, and if there were any of Di Yefei's kinsmen in those heads.
He seems to have actually killed.
Such a result made several people afraid to look at Di Yefei.
But how could Di Yefei blame them, even himself, there were times when he had to do it.
This is war, and there is no justice or evil at all.
"That's why you brought those Gao Che soldiers to contact Rouran's Gao Che people?" He Mulan probably understood Di Yefei's thoughts, but she was still worried about her friend's choice.
"Why does it have to be you? Didn't Patriarch Di Zhuzhen say he would be a guide? You grew up in Dawei, and you don't know the place of Rouran people at all..."
"Master Di is really old, and he can't return. Now both the imperial court and the Gaoche people need this wise leader." Di Yefei pointed to himself. "I'm young, with good martial arts skills, can speak high-level words, and have the appearance of a Westerner, so I won't make people suspect that I'm from Wei."
Rouran is connected to the Western Regions, and a large number of Rouran nobles intermarry with the countries of the Western Regions. It is very common to see a mixed blood from the Western Regions in Rouran. In the Great Wei Dynasty, the road to the Western Regions was cut off by Xiliang and Qin. Although there were people with different eyes in the army, there were very few people.
"The most important thing is that I am from Dawei. My parents are here, and my grandfather is here. I grew up on the land of Dawei. I fought for the people of Dawei and the Rouran people. Both sides trust me."
Di Yefei smiled very satisfied.
"Even if the army does not name me to go, I will volunteer to go. Every man wants to be Zhang Qian, and he wants to be the Marquis of Bowang."
He Mulan began to regret that she told the story of Zhang Qian's access to the Western Regions. In the hearts of men in this era, it seems to be their instinct to find an idol and then look up to him infinitely.
"That's because you don't know what happened to Zhang Qian in the past thirteen years. He was captured by the Huns and detained for thirteen years. When he went there, there were more than 100 people. When he came back, it was just Zhang Qian and Tang Yifu."
"Li Canjun told me about Zhang Qian's story, but I still want to go."
Di Yefei suddenly got up and hugged He Mulan.
"Huo Chang, don't feel sorry for me, I'm very happy, really."
"I used to think that Wei State was not good, Xianbei people were not good, and Han people were not good either. They called us Zahu and thought we were descendants of the defeated. But I only now realize that they are actually good, at least more than Rouran people. Well, at least we're all still alive."
"Now, I want to find a way to bring back my fellow clan. I'm a mixed hu, that's because there are very few Chile people living in Dawei. But what if there are too many people? There are as many as Han and Xianbei people. What? There are hundreds of thousands of Chile people, as well as millions of cattle and sheep. If they really come to Wei, the future Gaoche may also have a place in Dawei, and no one will call us Zahu anymore. ."
Di Yefei patted He Mulan on the back like a mature man.
"Huo Chang, you are 'Xuanyi Mulan', you should understand my thoughts and be happy for me."
I just understand your thoughts, so I'm so worried about you, idiot.
If a person simply completes the task, he will have a more calm judgment and the ability to change. And if you do it with a certain belief, you will often become a martyr.
Why did the army choose Di Yefei? He Mulan probably had some understanding in his heart. He was afraid that Su Hejun, who stayed in Gaoche Tianqionglu, would intervene.
He Mulan originally just wanted him to notice Di Yefei's talent and appearance, and let him go on the same path to the sky as in the previous life, but he did not expect Su Hejun to see Di Yefei's "diplomatic talent" and let the army The Zhonghe court secretly sent them to Rouran to search for and contact Gaoche people.
He Mulan didn't know this history, and he didn't know how Gao Cheren surrendered. But in Hua Mulan's memory, although this Gaoche people surrendered, they were soon sent to Chilechuan to graze. At that time, Di Yefei was already serving as the chief guard in the capital. Whoever contacted and spied on the military situation was a secret in the military.
Gao Cheren did fight back later, cutting off all the back roads of Rouran, making Rouran lose miserably. But those who acted as contacts seemed to have lost their voices since then, and Hua Mulan did not see any tall people like "Bowanghou" being lifted up.
Di Yefei was right, Gao Cheren's submission really made the Wei's national strength a step further. The cattle and sheep brought back by Rouran and Gaoche even made the price of meat in the entire Wei kingdom so low after more than ten years. When He Mulan first came, there was meat at home, and jerky was eaten as a snack.
The ability of Gaoche people to manufacture chariots and equipment has been highly praised in the army.
Di Yefei's promotion to the general of Zhenxi is inseparable from the step-by-step improvement of Gao Cheren's status in the army. If the Gaoche people did not submit, no matter how hard Di Yefei climbed up, the Xianbei people would not worry about putting a "general of miscellaneous Hu" in this place in the Western Regions.
How important Gaoche was later on, it shows that the Rouran people also value them. The danger in this is naturally self-evident.
When Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, the Huns still took Zhang Qian's envoy status into consideration, and only dared to be trapped for thirteen years, eating delicious food, and giving him beautiful women.
But as long as Di Yefei and the others show a little bit of guilt, the Rouran people will definitely cut them off and send their heads back to humiliate Wei.
But Di Yefei was determined to go to the territory of Rouran to complete this "big event". The prospect that several enlisted men described in front of their group of tall men was enough for them to sacrifice everything for it.
The old and young of Gaoche will be taken back to Dawei and return to life in Chilechuan; the men of Gaoche will be blood for blood and tooth for tooth.
The squirrels will be angry, trembling, and surprised, and will eventually be smashed to pieces by the iron hoofs of Wei State...
He Mulan was only worried about Di Yefei's safety, but respected his choice. She and a few others brought everything that could be brought to him. They want to nomadic in the place of the Rouran people as ordinary Gaoche herdsmen. While avoiding the attention of the Rouran people, they will contact the same clan, and then bring the news back.
They can't wear armor, with conspicuous blades, and their weapons are nothing but bows and arrows and short knives.
He Mulan and several others did not send Di Yefei off. Their departure was a secret to the Montenegro camp, and any act of revealing their whereabouts would be dangerous to them.
This made He Mulan and several others very sad and frustrated.
'Di Yefei has found his way, and what about me? '
He Mulan clenched his fists.
'I'm still just a soldier in the Yingyang Army! '
