When Xia Guo's battle report was successfully delivered to Tuoba Tao, he was watching the training of the three armies in the main field. Because it was Cui Hao who insisted on persuading him to surrender, when he rushed into the school grounds with the battle report, everyone who knew this Cui Taichang was taken aback.
They had never seen Cui Hao who was so rude. After all, everyone knew that Cui Hao was the most honorable person.
Seeing that Cui Hao was so flustered, Tuoba Tao froze for a while, feeling that something bad happened. After a while, Cui Hao ran up to him, stretched out a letter and handed it to him, saying:
"Your Majesty, the state of Xia has changed, Helianding wrapped Di Ziyu and others to take Shanggui, led the cavalry to take over the siege of Anding, and killed Helianchang..."
Tuoba Tao was stunned when he heard such a thing, "This is a good thing, why is Taichang's face so ugly..."
He opened the letter, and it was filled with things in a short period of time. It was obvious that the writer was excited, and the words had penetrated the back of the paper. Tuoba Tao had read it in a hurry, and his face was not very good.
"Helianding killed Helianchang, made himself emperor, and moved the capital to Chang'an." Tuoba Tao frowned. "This person is really decisive and courageous."
He killed Helianchang, and should have abandoned the Helian clan, but he made himself emperor and raised the banner of the Xia Kingdom again. This original treason has also become a heroic act.
During the chaotic period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, there were many times when the throne was replaced, all by slaughter. Helianchang lost his kingdom and fled in panic, and he had already lost the hearts of the people. Helianding was known for his prestige, and he had family feud with Helianchang.
When Cui Hao's plan didn't work, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Fortunately, Tuoba Tao didn't show blame or disappointment, so Cui Hao kept inquiring about the news to find out what went wrong.
Now it seems that the persuasion to surrender should have been successful. After all, Helianding knew that Helianchang had killed his family, and he went to recover Shangjun and Anding, and killed Helianchang.
But what's the point of him making himself an emperor and being trapped in an isolated city
For Tuoba Tao, Helianding was even more troublesome than Helianchang. He had a firm personality and knew how to advance and retreat. He was more troublesome than Helianchang, who was brave and resourceful.
For a while, Tuoba Tao didn't have the heart to watch any martial arts performances. He ordered the courtiers and several generals from the Montenegro camp to join the military tent to discuss matters, and left the point of command directly.
It was not He Mulan's turn to participate in such national affairs, but because Tuoba Tao let Helianding's sister and daughter go for her persuasion, he really wanted to dump the fact that Helianding's revenge on her at this time. With a look on his face, he also called her to come and let her listen to the result of his persuasion.
But others don't know why Tuoba Tao asked a general Hu Ben, who was neither a noble nor a general, to listen in. Some people think that Tuoba Tao values Hua Mulan and wants to cultivate; some think that Tuoba Tao likes young heroes and is willing to help , but no matter what kind, they all looked at He Mulan a little in their hearts.
Sometimes the Holy Family comes so easily.
He Mulan herself didn't know what had called her to join the army tent, and was also apprehensive.
Not to mention He Mulan, it was Hua Mulan, and she seldom participated in any discussion of military affairs. It was nothing more than Ling Xingzhi.
When she entered the tent, there was already a discussion about Helianding's behavior in the tent, probably because "Zhao Ming" was from Xia, and Tuoba Tao didn't let him serve, and there were only ministers of civil and military affairs in the tent. He Mulan consciously found a corner to stand and listened to their discussion quietly.
He Mulan's eyes were about to come out.
Did Helian Ding make himself emperor
Occupy Chang'an, can't hold on
Rao was because she knew that Helianding was powerful, but she didn't expect him to make such a choice.
In her memory, Helianding did seem to have established himself as emperor later, but that was also a few years later. After he established himself as an emperor, he was still very powerful. He went all the way to the west to destroy the Western Qin, and then occupied the territory of the Western Qin to restore the country. Unfortunately, the end was not very good. When crossing the river and attacking Beiliang, he was captured alive by the leader of the neighboring country Tuyuhun. It was sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
He made the Northern Wei Dynasty suffer, and he knew how to detour. The officials of Wei State did not agree that he was alive, and he was finally executed.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that the whole person is really ill-fated, which is really sighing.
"I don't agree with Cui Taichang's statement. If he wants to surrender, after killing Helianchang, he can return with his troops. Why should he occupy Chang'an?"
Tai Shi Ling Xu Bian rejected Cui Hao's opinion with a strong attitude: "We just listened to Cui Taichang's intentions and sent Di Ziyu to persuade him to surrender. What happened? Instead, we persuaded another Xia emperor to come!"
Cui Hao knew that Xu Bian liked to talk about his opponent's mistakes, and he did not deny the inadequacy of his strategy. He looked at Tuoba Tao and said seriously, "If Helianding didn't mean to belong, he wouldn't go to solve Anding. The chaos. General Xi Jin had already been cut off from food and grass at that time, and Helianding could kill two birds with one stone as long as he waited for a while, so there was no need to take this risk."
"Furthermore, he also brought back General Di Ziyu's men and horses. He didn't enter the city to recover the borders of the Xia Kingdom along the way, but went straight to Chang'an. If he said that he wanted to restore the country, it would be really different."
Since the Battle of Shuozhou, Cui Hao has always admired Helianding, and his words are mostly praise and praise: "A veteran like this is not a young and ignorant guy, his character has already been set, he will be like this There must be his reasons for doing it."
"What's the point of that!"
Gu Bi snorted coldly: "Don't he know that the longer he resists, the easier he will be disgusted by our Wei?"
Tuoba Tao has a talent, that is, he is good at finding solutions to problems in the discussions of the ministers. Every time he had a big event, he would hold a court meeting, and let the officials quarreled below him.
The Taoist priest Kou Qianzhi brought by Cui Hao said that this is the ability of the "Son of Heaven" and that he has the power to distinguish right from wrong. It is God-given.
This was also the case at this time, a group of ministers were making a fuss, and Gu Bi blurted out the words "he's at the end of the road, how can he survive" and suddenly woke him up.
Tuoba Tao began to substitute himself into Helianding, imagining what he would do if he was in such a situation.
In a sense, Helianding and Tuoba Tao were the same kind of people. They didn't admit defeat, and they were stubborn. Tuoba Tao thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized.
"So it is! So it is!"
Tuoba Tao patted his thigh and stood up.
"Helianding wants to surrender, but he wants to surrender with dignity. He is waiting for me to invite him to Wei State as a general!"
It was not the first time that Tuoba Tao had convulsed during the court meeting. Tuoba Tao jumped up and shouted, and Gu Bi's displeasure was immediately transferred from Cui Hao to Tuoba Tao.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do! He is only a royal family who has lost his country now, so why is it worth you to invite him in person!"
This is the opinion of the vast majority of people. After all, winning the king and losing the bandit, no matter how powerful Helianding is, he cannot be compared with Tuoba Tao in the slightest.
Ke Tuoba Tao didn't think so.
"If I don't say it like that, I think back then, three thousand Vietnamese soldiers could swallow Wu. If I were Helianding, when I was really desperate, I wouldn't want others to treat me as a prodigal dog and wantonly despise me. I am Helianding, I will also show my usefulness, and then find a good price to sell myself. He is the pillar of the Xia Kingdom, and now he has become the only emperor, he should be worthy of my proper treatment. "
Tuoba Tao admired this Duke Pingyuan from the bottom of his heart, and his face also showed a hint of emotion.
"Thinking that his whole family, young and old, will die, the country will not be a country, the family will not be a family, and he has the hope that the Xia country is only left with horses and horses, how can he make some appearances, so as not to be laughed at Xia Guo is a coward. Helian is set. , great, I'm going to see him!"
Tuoba Tao was only in his early twenties at this time, and his blood was surging.
In his original plan, not to mention Helianding, or Helianchang, if he was surrendered or captured alive, he would treat him like an emperor. Tuoba Tao had no pretense, and asked him to personally greet a surrendered minister. He really did it.
Anyway, this is the first time, let the emperors of all countries see, even if my Wei country destroys your country, it will not treat the royal family like pigs and dogs...
Tuoba Tao suddenly wanted to drive to Chang'an like a convulsion, and everyone in the tent was going crazy. Even Cui Hao, who was most sure of Helianding, pleaded repeatedly:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although you value Helianding, it is enough to send one clan. If you feel that your clan's status is not high enough, you can also write a letter to Helianding yourself. Now Montenegro is far from Chang'an. If you don’t think about the long journey, you always have to think about the Northern Expedition this year, right? All the soldiers are busy for the Northern Expedition, and when you leave, what do the soldiers and ministers of civil and military affairs in Heping City of Montenegro think?”
"No, you don't understand. Helianding didn't need to establish himself as an emperor. He ascended the throne because he wanted to have the same identity as me, so that I wouldn't neglect him and his subordinates. If I didn't go, he wouldn't will surrender."
Tuoba Tao's heart was like a cat scratching his heart, and he wished he could fly over.
"Then let him wait!" Gu Bishi said this sentence shockingly. "Anyway, he will come down sooner or later, and he can't hold on to it. Your Majesty wrote a letter to inform him that you are now far north and cannot meet him in person. You can send an envoy and give something to appease him for a while."
Gu Bi was not worried at all about Xia Guo's loss, only Chang'an and Shangjie could not make any waves. Tongwan City was guarded by Tuoba Su, and Xi Jin was out of trouble now, and the army could besiege the city at any time.
"If Helian Ding really wants to surrender, he can wait. If he doesn't intend to surrender, but has other thoughts, there will be rash actions within this year, and then he will lead the army to suppress the realm."
Although Gu Bi was a civil servant, he was from Xianbei after all, and his ideas and methods were simple and rude, and quite offensive.
But what he said is indeed reasonable. Now Xia Guo is light and Rouran is heavy. Tuoba Tao himself is clamoring for the northern expedition to Rouran. Whether even Ding has any strange thoughts, that is, food, grass and safety are big problems.
He Mulan stood in the corner, watching the game between the emperor and the ministers finally ended in Gu Bi's victory, and her heart dropped back to its original place.
After all, the person who persuaded him at that time was himself. If Helianding supported his troops this time and turned his back, then Tuoba Tao would definitely regard her as the sinner when he thought of this in the future.
But now all the ministers are certain that Helianding is not malicious, but only raises his identity to treat him with respect, but everyone has a higher evaluation of Helianding.
Of course, if he really did something unfavorable to Da Wei later, it would really only be described as "rogue".
It's just that the heart that He Mulan mentioned has not completely fallen. Tuoba Tao's eyes swept over him, as if he suddenly remembered something, he pointed at He Mulan and smiled:
"Hua Mulan, thanks to your timely persuasion that day. If I was really angry and gave the Helian Pearl to Jonah last time, and put Helian Zhishui under house arrest, I thought that coming to Helianding would not have relieved the siege of stability. Instead, it broke the city of stability."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the tent turned to He Mulan in the corner. He Mulan was dripping with cold sweat on her back, and she lowered her head and did not dare to make a sound.
Both Cui Hao and Gu Bi had a good impression of Mulan, so they just glanced at them and nodded approvingly.
He Mulan really scolded this unreasonable His Majesty to death in her heart, but she had to look like she had been praised wrongly, for fear that others would call her frivolous.
The matter of Helianding was settled, and the next time was to discuss how to write the letter to Helianding, how to reply, what to reward, and who would be better for the envoy to use.
At this time, a minister suggested that it would be better to let Helianding's own sister go over to comfort him. First, women are weak, which can arouse Helianding's sympathy and caring heart. Second, compared to Helian Zhishui, the identity of Helian Pearl is not so important. .
After Tuoba Tao thought about it, he agreed to the proposal that Helian Mingzhu should also be the envoy.
What happened next made He Mulan drowsy. You were probably just a middle-level cadre in the future, but you rashly attended the meeting of the senior leaders, and as a result, they couldn't get a word in. What they were talking about It has nothing to do with you.
After waiting in such a daze until noon, He Mulan saw that people were billing one after another, and then she followed him out in relief.
It seems that history has changed, and He Mulan is completely unsure whether the direction of change is good or bad.
Dawei has more variables, Helian Ding, whether it is beneficial or harmful to Dawei depends on how the situation develops later.
But the most important thing right now is Bei Zheng Rouran.
There is no clue about the killing of ghosts. Helianding seems to have no problems. Except for Chang'an and Shangjun, Xia has already entered Wei's territory. Liu Song and Dawei maintain their friendship on the bright side. Beiliang and Beiyan are both After joining Wei State and becoming a vassal state, now the biggest enemy is Rouran.
The right army and the left army were only separated by a battalion wall. The former general of the town army of the left army was dismissed because of the battalion Xiao. Tuoba Tao has only now appointed Yuan Po Qiang as the general of the town army of the left army to lead the left army. This person is probably the three fires of the new official's appointment. Even through the wooden camp wall, the sound of drills from the left army can always be heard from time to time.
The newly appointed General of the Zuo Army is probably stern, and he can often hear the reprimands from there. The Zuo Army has not been in command for a while, and the General Fu Jun of the Zuo Army was beaten up by the old man and can't get out of bed now, naturally some slack. Yuan Po Qiang can be considered a good warrior, and he suddenly took over such a lazy army, and he can't wait to whip them twenty-four hours a day.
After a long time, even He Mulan had some sympathy for Zuo Jun's experience.
She trained the Hu Ben army strictly, but often in the middle of the night, she could see the school field on the Zuo army lit up with fire, obviously even at night.
This person, from the prince of the subjugated country to the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, must have tried his best to make a big fight.
Speaking of which, Tuoba Tao really had everyone under his command.
In the harem, too, there are beauties from all countries and races.
The situation in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms was too complicated. Everywhere there was a country, you conquered me and I conquered you. As a result, there were royal families that perished everywhere, as well as countries that survived like a big wave. If you are lucky, you can start over. If you are unlucky, the family will be punished.
The so-called three fires for a new officer to take office were originally not able to burn He Mulan, but it was so hard to die. This Yuan Po Qiang wanted to see the gap and strength of the left and right armies, but he actually proposed to General Xia Hong that the two armies should face off against each other. Recommendations for practical training.
On the one hand, Xia Hong also wanted to see how powerful the Right Army was now. The second source, Po Qiang, had just become a General of the Left Army, so he had to give him this face, so he complied with his request and ordered a few generals from the Right Army to go to the school grounds to fight.
The other party dispatched the Xiao Cavalry Army from the very beginning, obviously wanting to see the difference between the elites on both sides, Xia Hong ordered He Mulan to lead the Hu Ben Army to fight.
Xiaoqi is a cavalry with a vest even on its horses.
On the battlefield, when Rouran saw this cavalry armed to the teeth, she often turned around and ran away, not because of fear, but because such cavalry never attacked alone, but only existed as an army to protect the marksman.
The horses in the Xiaoqi battalion are all tall horses, able to bear weight and have good endurance, but their agility is not as good as that of the Hu Ben army, and the number of them is not as large as that of the Hu Ben army.
However, when performing martial arts, the number of people must be equal, otherwise the fairness will not be seen. This Hu Ben's rangers will face the heavy armored cavalry, and the number of people will be equal, and the Hu Ben army will immediately lose.
The chief generals of the two sides stood on their side of the point-of-command stage, and ordered the flag officer to keep giving commands. He Mulan looked at the cavalry troops on the opposite side, all wearing armor, and suddenly cursed "foul" in her heart. He looked fiercely at the main commander's platform of the left army.
This source is broken, and it is obvious that he wants to use the right army to gain prestige and improve the morale of the left army!
It's just that whether he can get this experience value depends on whether she agrees or not!
He Mulan stood on the spot and asked the banner officer to order the Hu Ben army to disperse the team, move forward in a roundabout way, and harass him with bows and arrows. All the arrows were removed from the arrowheads and wrapped with dye-stained cloth towels. When they were shot, they only landed dots of various colors on the opponent's armor.
Not to mention that this arrow does not have an arrowhead, even if it does, it may not be able to shoot through the opponent's armor.
He Mulan was not in a hurry, and kept ordering to change the formation from left to right, going around to the side or behind to attack. The disadvantage of the Xiaoqi battalion was that its mobility was not strong enough. The men and horses fired indiscriminately, and soon there were some "casualties".
The other party was also very powerful. Seeing He Mulan flying a kite and the others, they immediately ordered to form a formation on the spot, erected a spear, and prepared to charge.
He Mulan has a direct line of troops, which is his first thousand or so people. These people were trained by He Mulan to be proficient in riding and shooting, and have strong mobility. Later, they became a special force of He Mulan. - Specially used to break the charge of the team.
A Shanzhiqi and Tuluo Daman, who are good at using long weapons, instructed their subordinates to take out the super-long spears from their gun pockets and assemble them. Shooting arrows, the other party was already scared half to death when they saw such a long spear, and this spear team charged at them from a distance as if they were not afraid of death, and they were even more frightened.
The heavy armored cavalry is different from the light cavalry.
The charging cavalry battalion began to show flaws, because some people hesitated, and the speed of the horses was fast or slow. The main army of the Hu Ben army grabbed the horse and horses from the two wings, surrounded them, and cut them directly. contact with the army.
At this time, the spear formation was about to collide, but He Mulan's team did not continue to charge. After the archer shot a round of arrows, the front formation changed to the back formation, and soon the group of men and horses that had been surrounded and cut away was picked under the horse.
At this time, the charging men and horses in the rear row of the cavalry battalion were knocked off their horses by the thrown spears, and the cavalry of the Hu Ben army flanking on both wings also eliminated the cavalry in front, and turned around and began to charge the cavalry of the cavalry battalion in the rear row. At this time, there were almost no major "casualties" in the Hu Ben army, but the defeat of the Xiaoqi battalion was determined, but within a few moments, the three thousand Xiaoqi battalion was completely defeated by the Huben army.
It's just that the opponent is not an independent army after all. The strongest of the left army is the cavalry and archers known as the "shooting battalion", who often fight with the cavalry battalion.
Although the number of the right army is large, due to well-known reasons, it is impossible to raise so many professional cavalry who are proficient in archery or armed to the teeth, and often rely on martial courage and experience to win.
He Mulan's ability to do these things is because of the experience of his predecessors, but when it comes to the war, it is not so easy.
Not to mention, the heavy cavalry needed a place to charge, and the large campus was not enough, and seeing them on the endless prairie in the north, they were enemies again. He Mulan had to run away first, and then find a way to solve it. .
But for the soldiers of the Left Army, who have high self-esteem and have been suppressing the Right Army for countless years, this result slapped them heavily.
The opponent won too easily and disapprovingly, which further highlighted their incompetence.
After He Mulan returned to the main stage after the big victory, Xia Hong said "It's hard work" with a smile, and praised her beautiful formation.
He probably told Yuan Po Qiang, who was sitting beside him, to listen to it, but if the general was called by someone and asked to challenge him, even if he agreed, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Yuan Poqiang, the new general of the town army of the right army, was only a young general of twenty-five years old, and the leaders of the left army were all veteran generals, so one can imagine the heavy burden and hard work on his shoulders. He Mulan originally thought that he would be a little unhappy when he heard Xia Hong's compliment to her, but he just smiled, stood up, walked to the left army formation, and scolded them all.
"When I first arrived in the Zuo Army, I also patrolled in micro-service. In private, everyone thinks that the Zuo Army is far superior to the Right Army, even if it is not the first. Today, I bring you to perform martial arts, just to show you two. The gap between the army!"
Yuan Po Qiang seemed to be able to raise his eyebrows at last, and said sternly: "Where is the right army not comparable to the left army, but the left army can't even touch the right army's ass/stock!"
When he said this, some were ashamed, some were angry, and some were disapproving.
Only then did Xia Hong and He Mulan know what Yuan Po Qiang was going to do at the risk of offending others, so they stopped and watched him teach Zuo Jun's elite.
"The arrogant soldiers will lose. After you lose the master, you will not think about your mistakes. Instead, you will indulge yourselves more. You have already planted the introduction of disaster. Now it's just a competition in the school field, and you have already been played by your opponents. If you meet on the battlefield, Will the enemy use bows with broken heads, spears without heads?"
Yuan Po Qiang waved the flag in his hand and threw it on the ground.
"This general has been divided into your soldiers and horses. It's really annoying!"
The right army was suddenly in an uproar, as if they had seen Yuan Po Qiang being torn apart by the soldiers of the left army.
For such a new general, to say such a thing, isn't it mocking
But I don't know what happened before, the soldiers of the left army did not refute, but were full of dissatisfaction.
Yuan Po Qiang stood in front of Zuo Jun, and he started scolding from the very beginning when he made a mistake in the formation, and then scolded the opponent's panic after he was finally double-teamed. Inside, pointed out one by one, and continued to tell how to crack it.
Yuan Po Qiang was the head coach, not the head general. The head of the Xiaoqi battalion had a face that looked like a pig's liver, but he could only listen and couldn't find a chance to refute it.
After a while, Yuan Po Qiang finished scolding and teaching, and then he returned to the main commander's platform and bowed to Xia Hong.
"General Xia, I made you laugh. It's true that these little bastards refuse to accept discipline and are sitting in the sky again. I came to ask you to make a bet with them before the competition. If you lose this battle, you must obey my command from now on. They can't hesitate to go to die. Now, it seems that there are some benefits, at least to suppress their arrogance. "
"General Yuan is well-intentioned. The new army still needs to be run in, so there is no need to be so anxious." Xia Hong is a gentle and tolerant person. Seeing that Yuan Po Qiang is not deliberately provocative, but for training troops, and he thinks so highly of the Right Army, Naturally, a few words of reassurance.
"Hua Mulan in Your Excellency's army was also the first to lead the Hu Ben army, but he commanded it properly, and the soldiers were single-minded, so it is not the reason why I am new to lead the army, but because my prestige is not enough."
Yuan Po Qiang laughed at himself.
Seeing that he was pulling her up for no reason, He Mulan glanced at him in astonishment. The latter smiled at her in a friendly way, even showing two tiger teeth.
…
I probably know why you can't convince the crowd.
Don't laugh, General!
Xia Hong has come step by step. Although he does not have such troubles, it is impossible for a person to have an official position and a prestige to be able to convince the public.
Although he didn't know which point Tuoba Tao valued Yuan Po Qiang, Xia Hong had no intention of leaving a quarrel with the newly appointed Zuo Jun general, so he accepted his thanks.
I just don't know how the face of this bald prince is so thick, and it's terribly thick. Seeing that Xia Hong accepted his favor, he immediately hit the snake and followed the stick, smiled and pleaded:
"The idiot owner of the cavalry battalion was defeated by General Hua. I intend to personally command it once and demonstrate how they can defend against General Hua's tactics. I wonder if General Xia can be accommodating again?"
Xia Hong and He Mulan were both dumbfounded. The Hu Ben army had just won a big victory, and they were all excited. The general suddenly said that he wanted to do it again
Does he think he is a Saint Seiya? It's impossible for the same move to work twice on the right army
"This...isn't it fair? You already expected Hua Mulan's tactics, known to known..."
Yuan Po Qiang scratched his head nervously.
"But now my subordinates are all demoralized. If I can't win once, I will be very troubled. You two, you don't want to see Zuo Jun's heart is unstable, right..."
He continued to smile with two tiger teeth.
"Help me!"
