After arriving in Shuozhou, He Mulan was completely out of reach. Even if she was Kumoti's personal soldier, but in a heavily defended place like Shengle in Shuozhou, not on the battlefield, He Mulan would not be able to participate in the state affairs that Tuoba Tao and the other important officials discussed. go up.
In the past few days, there have been constant couriers from Shuozhou to Pingcheng, and there are also couriers to the east, west and north, almost in an endless stream. As the wounded, baggage, and rescue cavalry from Woye and other places arrived at Shengle in Shuozhou, this originally not a big city suddenly flooded with many people, and even the common people knew that Emperor Wei was in Shengle and could often watch the Until someone kowtowed to the Xianbei governor's house.
Because the "big guys" are very busy, the "little guys" who have little to do with the matters discussed with the big guys are idle. When He Mulan had nothing to do, he went to look for Yueying, and when a few people came, he told them what he had seen along the way.
Several people knew that his second brother was also here, and his entire face was wrinkled, not even his elder brother's side, and he was wandering outside all day long. He Mulan remembered that his second brother, who had no idea what he was thinking, was also speechless. Sometimes, when he saw him wandering outside, he would take him in for a while.
"Hey, it really hurts..." Like He Mulan, several people had worn out everything from the knees to the inner thighs because of the long march.
He Mulan cleaned and bandaged by herself, but some people chose to come to her to bandage.
"What if, as you said, it was sawed off because of the infection!" Several people showed exaggerated horror expressions, "It's up to you!"
He Mulan was speechless. She just said casually to Adan Zhiqi once that if the arm wound is not handled properly, it is likely to be sawed off. As a result, several people listened to it and remembered it in their hearts. Even such a small injury is hypocritical. .
Several people were lying on He Mulan's mattress with their legs stretched out. There was no trace of a thread under their trousers. Because the injury was the thigh, they simply took it off from the top.
Fortunately, He Mulan used to be a forensic doctor, and he treated some people like a piece of meat.
He Mulan didn't have a good way to deal with this kind of wound. Wipe it with concentrated salt water, and then let him wrap it with a clean bandage without rubbing it. It will be fine in a few days.
Several people were dressed neatly on the upper part of the body, and the lower part/half/body was left open like this. He was also obedient. He Mulan asked him to entangle him, and he would entangle himself. Halfway through the entanglement, someone was knocking on the door.
"Who is it? Come in..." Several people agreed casually, and then they remembered that they were in He Mulan's room, and quickly looked at He Mulan apologetically.
What can she apologize for, it wasn't herself who came in and was stared at.
"Little brother is here? No wonder the eldest brother said that if he couldn't find it, just look at Hua Mulan..." Several wolf heads who pushed in the door were smiling, and their expressions suddenly changed when they saw the scene in the room.
"You two, what are you doing!"
His younger brother's pants were half faded, revealing his two thighs, and Hua Mulan stood beside him with water stains in his hands...
Several people are still holding white cloth in their hands! What are you going to wipe!
What are they doing!
Damn it! What the hell is Montenegro Camp
The faces of several wolf heads were so gloomy that they could scare people to death. He Mulan put the salt water aside inexplicably, preparing to pour it out later. Several people seemed to be unhappy when they saw this brother's face, and shook the bandages in their hands, completely shaking. After opening, he snorted coldly and said, "In order to save you all, I almost lost my leg. I came to bandage it, and I need your permission?"
"What leg is broken... Hey, bandaging?" Several wolves stepped forward and looked down, only to find that the skin was frayed and bruised a little, so he couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief, and then he casually placed it on someone Xiaojj took a shot: "It's good that the third leg is not broken. Several of my families are still waiting for you to pass on the lineage and spread more branches and leaves for our family!"
"Hey! Why are your hands so heavy!" Several people gasped and hurriedly covered their vital points. "You want to inherit the lineage and succeed yourself!"
"Of course I don't need anyone to worry about it, but you, don't have any fancy girls, you have to marry an ugly and invisible woman..."
As long as it doesn't have broken sleeves.
Several wolf heads remembered what the eldest brother said to them, and glanced at He Mulan calmly, and found that the latter was just watching the two brothers with a smile, so they helped their brother wrap another leg.
Didn't help with bandages, shouldn't there be that kind of tendency
wrong! Two big men, why are you embarrassed to help with bandages? !
This He Mulan was really "good" to his stupid brother!
He Mulan and others tied up bandages, put on trousers, and knelt down beside the two of them, asking about the intentions of the wolf heads.
He was Tuoba Tao's Suwei, and his status was roughly equivalent to a personal soldier like He Mulan. It's just that Tuoba Tao's personal guards numbered two or three hundred people, and he was not the core. Now the discussion of the next step in the governor's house is in full swing, and some wolf heads can only guard the door outside.
"I am afraid that the team to conquer Xixia will start this month. I heard from Your Majesty that something happened to General Zhou Ji, and there was no news for more than half a month, and even General Xi Jin's battle report was not sent for a while. I think after Chang'an was captured, there should be another change."
In this era, communication is not available, and when a military newspaper was sent to the emperor, it was more than half a month ago. He is not on the front line, and the front line is changing a lot. No one knows what happened on the weekend or whether Chang'an is still here.
"Xi Sikong is a veteran of the three dynasties, so there shouldn't be anything wrong." Several people said suspiciously: "Is it because of the competition for merit, so you have been competing?"
rice ball exploration book
The most common case of delaying military planes in the Wei army is to change the scheduled battle plan in order to compete for merit, but this kind of thing rarely occurs in the veterans, because the veterans more often do not rely on killing the enemy to accumulate merits.
"Who knows. So, little brother, if the eldest brother's team is going to follow General Kumoti, I have discussed with the eldest brother and send you back to the Montenegro camp to 'deliver the letter'."
"Why should I send a letter?" Several people stared in disbelief, "Xia Guo is strong and rich, this is a good opportunity for me to make achievements, I don't want to go back to the Montenegro camp!"
He Mulan suddenly remembered what several wolf heads had said to her, about what would kill him if he went to some tiger heads, and what knocked him out before he went.
He also said it was a joke! Isn't this true
"Siege siege is different from crawling. It is impossible to make mistakes at all, and you can't protect yourself. Your martial arts are ordinary, not only can't protect eldest brother, but you can't even protect yourself, and going to Xia country is also a drag on brother. Besides, you are Private soldier, even if you are our brother, what the Lord will tell you to do, will you still be able to resist?"
Several wolf heads touched his brother's head, and the latter slapped him away.
"I will resist, and you can still kill me? You want to kill me!"
Several people did not catch up with Tuoba Tao to fight against the troops of the two countries, nor did they catch up with He Mulan, Kumoti and others who killed Crawly and Xia Ren and discarded their armor and armor. It may be necessary to go to Xia Country in person, and some people are secretly jumping for joy. The two brothers of his family suddenly came here...
He Mulan was very embarrassed to listen on the side. The second brother and the younger brother, she didn't know whether to persuade or not to persuade.
In her opinion, there is not a single man in this era who doesn't dream of making achievements. Although some people say that they came to the army to be with her, but he will come to the army, and it is definitely not because he has been protected by others. Pi's idea, but to make a name for himself.
What's more, some of them are not that kind of playboys. They also have some attainments in the art of war, and they are also very sensitive to the situation on the battlefield. Except for the lack of martial arts, there are no major shortcomings. Tuoba Tao is the male god in the minds of almost all Xianbei men of the same age. Several people, this brain-dead fan, finally had a chance to get together. His two brothers wanted him to go back to Montenegro and not take him to play. This is very angry. Imagine.
Several wolves came here to find out. Seeing that there were outsiders present, he was so determined. He probably understood what his younger brother was thinking. He didn’t bother with him, just smiled and replied:
"You know our family is young, who will kill you? Forget it, I won't tell you more, think about it for yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people shouted: "Don't think about it! I don't even think about it!"
Several wolf heads and younger brothers parted unhappily, and some were very popular, and they were worried that this was He Mulan's place.
"Your eldest brother and second brother really care about you..."
"Why don't they care about me! They treat me like a child! All day long, there are men and boys and little boys. When I was fourteen, they gave me a maid, that is, they treated me as a stallion!"
He Mulan thought of Yue Ying and Tuoba Huang, who had a son at the age of eleven, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, "Ah... this, it's really important to stay here."
"They all have children, what do they want me to do after I stay here! I'm not a son-in-law!"
"Huh? Huh? Huh? Your two brothers have children?"
He Mulan's eyes were round, "Can the army also have children?"
"Isn't it possible to go home and get married while on vacation! My eldest brother's son is four years old. The second brother's son is also over two years old, and the second brother's son was born by a concubine." Several people waved their hands. "They replaced me with four maids before and after, but none of them could give birth to my son. They always thought that there must be something wrong with me, and kept talking about it all day long, worrying about my death all day long. !"
Four maids, for five years, have left no descendants...
For me, I also have to worry about your reproductive/genital/organ health.
He Mulan squinted at the key points of several people.
… there won’t be some problems, right
"Long Huo, look at a ghost!" Several people stood up angrily. "Those maids know how to grind on me and treat me like a big fat man. Who can give birth to them! I'm not specially born to breed!"
He Mulan burst out laughing with a "poof", "Sure enough, there are still troubles in the noble family, Tuluo Daman and the others worry about not having a daughter-in-law all day long. daughter in law… "
"If you want a maid, I'll send you a few." Several people raised their eyebrows indifferently. "My family picked them out for me. They all look good. I haven't touched them before, and they don't dare to say."
Having said that, several people also squinted their eyes and looked at He Mulan's slap: "Huo Chang, don't you have a problem? I didn't see you being interested in women, and you never worry about not having a daughter-in-law..."
"You think too much." He Mulan patted him on the forehead, "You two brothers don't want you to go to Xia Country, what should you do? General Ling Rushan, if they really don't let you go, find a few homes. I will press you back, it's useless if you want to resist!"
"If they really do this, I will die!"
…
That's awesome.
A stupid little brother who has nothing to do except to seek life and death...
Several wolf heads who listened to the movement outside the house pouted, shook their heads and left.
Several people were not sent away by the two older brothers in the end, not because he succeeded in coercing with death, but because He Mulan's "three trumpets" plan made Gu Bi, an important minister beside Tuoba Tao, have a problem with several people. Intrigued, he summoned him.
Several people are naturally not afraid of the sky and earth, and they are not at all timid when they meet Gu Bi to ask questions.
Gu Bi started his career when he was very young. He first served as a servant at the side of the late emperor, and later served as the secretary of the East Palace beside Tuoba Tao. , Tuxi's sinicization was earlier, and the Han surnames were written as "gu", so his name was always written as "gubi" when writing.
The late emperor praised him, saying that this man was not only as easy to use as a writing brush, but also had the same straight and hard character as a writing brush. Therefore, the ministers in the court and middle-ranking officials fondly called him "Bi Gong", and Tuoba Tao sometimes called him "Bi Head". .
The name "Ancient Bi" was obviously not suitable for the important officials in the court, so the late emperor later changed his "bi" to "Bi", which means auxiliary prime minister.
Although Gu Bi was from Xianbei, he studied Sinology since he was a child, was fond of reading, and was good at riding and archery. It's just because his temper is too rigid, he is not as strong as Cui Hao or Changsun Han and other ministers' personal connections.
He is a capable minister who has gone through the two dynasties of Tuoba Si and Tuoba Tao, and is also a cadre. As soon as Tuoba Tao ascended the throne, he named him "Marquis of Lingshou" and named him "General Lijie". The meaning of this title is In fact, he regarded him as a military general who was like a "scepter" by the emperor's side.
On several expeditions, this minister with both civil and military skills has made a lot of military achievements, and he was born in the Xianbei family, so he is more valued.
A few years later, Tuoba Tao made him a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, respecting his opinion very much and taking him wherever he went.
Gu Bi was from the Xianbei, but he liked the knowledge of the Han people and the art of war. Naturally, he was not the same as many Xianbei nobles. Therefore, several people with the same interests and hobbies naturally fell in love with him.
Some people's knowledge and ability are naturally less than one-tenth of Gu Bi's, but he is a young man with a cheerful and clever personality, and he has a naive and familiar foolishness, which makes him inexplicably loved by Gu Bi.
After chatting with him for a few days, Gu Bi asked the emperor to tell him that he liked this little friend, and that he was only a personal soldier because of his skills in Sinology and the art of war. Be a "waiter" by your side.
The courtiers were different from the personal soldiers. They were subordinate officials trained by important officials in the court. If they performed well, they could easily be recommended and become real court officials. At this time, there was no imperial examination. A large part of the way to be an official came from the shadow and recommendation. Many nobles and high-ranking men sent their children to the Suwei Army to be hunters, and gave other executives to be "attendants". Hope to go this way.
A few unknown people got Gu Bi's love, which surprised many people. Even Tuoba Tao called him there, met him curiously, and asked some questions. After the tune, I gave some random things, and called some tiger heads to discuss it for a while, and then sent some people to Gu Bi's.
How can some tiger heads dare to defy? Even if his grandfather came, he could only bow his head obediently in front of this Shang Shun, not to mention that being around him was much safer than being around him. A few tiger heads didn't show any unwillingness in addition to being happy for their younger brother. .
***
"Hahaha, you didn't see my eldest and second brothers being surprised. I'm really not good at danqing, otherwise I'd definitely draw it! Just for this, it's worth going to Gu Shijun's side!"
Several people were nibbling at the fruits in the house, which was given by Tuoba Tao, and he specially called He Mulan to be late.
He Mulan racked his brains to recall for a while, and his impression of this minister was that he seemed to be a little unhappy with the emperor when he recruited Beiyan.
The character is probably really bad. When Hua Mulan went with him to conquer Beiliang, he argued with the emperor in the main hall, and then he was directly thrown in Beiliang and did not go out with the army.
But if it's dangerous to be around him...
Not really.
He was always a victorious general before Mulan came out.
"It's really good that you can win that favor. To be honest, your martial arts are not suitable for serving in a forward camp like Yingyang Army. Appropriate."
He Mulan smiled, "Master Gu is a minister and a general Lijie. You should be able to learn a lot of skills in dispatching troops and governing the country when you are by his side."
"I don't want to govern the country anymore, I'm satisfied if I can learn some tactics and tactics!" Several people's smiling eyes narrowed, "Also, the ancient envoy will definitely accompany him to the Xia Kingdom this time, when the time comes, I will No matter how unhappy the eldest brother is, he can only watch me join the army!"
"Speaking of which, what exactly do you have in his favor?" He Mulan glanced at a few people with a look of disdain: "How do you see it, you're just an ordinary person!"
"Hahaha, then you don't understand, we've been chatting all night! I told him how I used lamb chops when I was young, and told him how to make sheep fight with vicious dogs; I have several I can't find this book anywhere, but he has it, and he borrowed it from me to copy it!"
Several people continued to say happily: "I must be very smart..."
"Because he is the same as you, the son of the concubine of the Tuxi family. He has two excellent brothers. He was suppressed since he was a child. The last two brothers died in infighting, and he gradually showed his talent."
Several wolf heads entered several people's houses without knocking on the door, picked up a cucumber and gnawed: "Don't think you have any talent, you two have similar experiences, he naturally has some points for you from the beginning. Good feeling."
"Dying in internal fighting?" Several people blinked, completely unable to understand what this meant: "They fought infighting, but my grandfather didn't beat them to death?"
"Do you think everyone values children as much as our grandfather? Tuxi is a big family, and I don't know how many children are available in the family. It's normal to fight fiercely." It's important, you still have some skills, so that's fine, eldest brother doesn't have to worry about your life and death every day and can't sleep."
"Eldest brother slept well! I'll show him the account at night!" Several people immediately retorted, and then froze. "I can't show him the account now..."
Gu Bi was an important minister in the DPRK. He belonged to the type who would go to war as a general and lead troops, and if there was no war, he would be a director in the DPRK. However, a number of tiger heads were lieutenants of the Montenegro camp and could not leave Montenegro easily.
He went to be a "attendant". Although his rank was too low, he was still an upper-class miscellaneous official. He would go to Montenegro in the future, unless Dawei and Crawly fought in an all-round way.
"Your eldest brother still needs you to look after the account? You don't dare to sleep soundly at night!" Several wolf heads laughed at him. "Master Gu often attends to His Majesty's side. Your brother, I am a hunter, and I often serve His Majesty. We will have more opportunities to meet in the future. Why, you like to keep people watching the night so much? Why don't you come and watch me too... "
"Oh my God! I actually forgot this!" Several people showed a horrified expression, "Oh my god! I'm going to ask Gu Shijun, can I not go and stay by your side, can I still survive? !"
"Haha, Your Majesty has already asked eldest brother, and eldest brother agreed with confidence because he saw that I was here to take care of you, who is smart and extraordinary."
"Big brother pits me!"
Several people screamed to the sky.
He Mulan still didn't understand why some people regarded several wolf heads like a flood of beasts. Once asked curiously, several people said strangely: "He is different from the front of the villain and the back of the human being. When he is in front of people, his personality is very gentle. , he is especially insidious. When he was a child, when he was a child, he did the bad things, it was assumed that I did it, because he always behaved very well, no matter how I explained it, no one believed that he did it... "
He Mulan remembered that when she was a child, she always let her brother take the blame. Thinking of this, didn't his brother also call her "insidious" behind her back
"Also, when I came to the army, my grandfather originally prepared more slaves for me, but he and grandpa wrote a letter saying that if I had too many slaves, I would not have experience in the military. When the time comes, it won't go up or down, but it will make people laugh... I used to have from one person to five people and six people, and then there are only one person to four people... "
"He must have felt that he was going to be a ward guard, and he was jealous of me without bringing a servant, hum!"
"People five? People six?"
What is this name!
"Then what is the name of your elder brother's slave?"
"Tiger big tiger two tiger three... to tiger eighteen. Eighteen! Eighteen slaves!"
"Haha... how many of your brothers really know how to name..."
"My grandfather took all the names in my family, including the slaves..."
"...Do you have any sisters?"
He Mulan remembered that some people had an older sister who later married Tuoba Tao, so some people said that being the prefect was not based on talent, but nepotism.
"Why, do you want to ask for a kiss?" Several people moved their faces with interest, "My aunt is so beautiful, and her personality is not weak, my grandpa said that being a lady is enough!"
"How dare I climb high, I'm just curious about her name."
Girls, you shouldn't mess up your names, right
"Oh, my elder sister... She's called some cats."
He Mulan burst into tears.
And then even more tragic for the waitresses of the "Future Lady".
He Mulan and his party stayed in Shuozhou for half a month. Six days ago, Taichang Cui Hao took the officials of Honglu Temple and others to leave Shuozhou with the honor guard of Tuoba Tao, and continued to the Montenegro camp to hide their eyes and ears.
As long as the injured soldiers in the Yulin Army could ride a horse, they all dressed up as if they were not injured, and left Shuozhou with Cui Hao and others. The leader of the team was Tuoba Ren, who was also Tuoba Tao's cousin. He was very similar to Tuoba Tao. He wore his armor and carried his king's flag. Wan set off to serve as a stand-in for Tuoba Tao.
Since He Mulan was remembered for "feeding the horse" in front of Tuoba Tao, Kumoti didn't hide anything from her. After Tuoba Ren set off, he told He Mulan that they were going to Chang'an soon. So I kept it because I had to wait for Tuoba Ren to go further, and then leave Shuozhou under the banner of the rescue generals in Woye and Shuozhou.
When He Mulan heard that he was going to march again, he had made all preparations in the past few days. When Cui Hao and the other "Gao Cha Envoy" left early in the morning on the sixth day, while the sky was still bright, more than 30,000 light cavalry took them with him. Enough baggage and provisions for 20 days, hurried to Chang'an.
They will resupply again in Woye, replace horses, and continue to cross the Yellow River from Junzijin to the west.
Wang Jia's personal expedition, even if he didn't play a banner, was no trivial matter. Tuoba Tao used to use cavalry and commanded himself without any mistakes, and soon arrived at the Wei State camp not far from Tongwan City.
When the emperor arrived in person, the commander-in-chief here, Sun Han, was taken aback, and hurriedly brought Tuobasu, the king of Changshan, to greet him. When he heard what happened to Emperor Wei in the vicinity of Shuozhou, the Situ Lu, who had gone through three dynasties, was shocked and worried. The expression on his face came: "Did the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Helianding escaped actually go to my Great Wei?"
"It's more than just gone, and more than 20,000 crawlies have joined together. Budui captured a lot of elite soldiers around Helianding and returned. After the interrogation, he said that it was the will of Tong Wancheng, and the secret messenger had already contacted the crawlies, so the two parties met. Joining divisions in Shuozhou..." Tuoba Tao showed his anger and asked Zhang Sun Han, "What the hell happened to Zhouji, isn't he in charge of defending the retreat? Such negligence should be executed according to the law!"
Zhou Ji was a general of the Han Dynasty. He made good use of Han soldiers. He was very powerful in defending and sieging the city. Because he had repelled the attacks of the Song State many times, he also followed the late emperor Tuoba Si to enter the Central Plains, and even conquered Xuchang and Ruyang. He was named "General Song Bing".
Mulan's father will retire, that is, he was transferred to Zhouji's army as a centurion. He knew some Chinese characters in Zhouji's army, and his legs were also a problem when attacking the Song Dynasty.
Because there was such a little love for incense, He Mulan, who was following Kumoti, paid extra attention to the answer from Changsun Han.
"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to behead..." When the elder Sun Han heard Tuoba Tao's words, his expression became even more bitter. "I also got the news not long ago that General Zhou suddenly suffered from intestinal carbuncle during the march, and the fever persisted. Helianding took the opportunity to detour and escape, leaving behind his younger brother Helianwei who pretended to be an identity and kept harassing him."
Intestinal carbuncle is appendicitis.
He Mulan frowned, the perforation caused by acute appendicitis was almost a death in this world.
"General Zhou became ill and the dragons had no leader. After all, this is the Xia Kingdom. They are familiar with the road, and there are feints constantly harassing them. No one noticed that Helianding had run away. By the time he found out, General Zhou had already passed away..."
"what?"
Rao Shi Tuoba Tao already had some hunch in his heart, and he didn't expect to die of illness on a few days.
"How are the troops on that week? Who is in command?"
"Sikong Xijin, who is guarding Chang'an, and the King of Nanyang, who is in charge of escorting the siege tools outside Tongwan, want this army. They say that there are not enough people, but they can't retreat without being guarded, otherwise there will be problems with the supply of luggage. Your Majesty , you came just in time..."
The 50-year-old veteran Natouben bowed:
"Also please the Holy Judge!"
