He Mulan was the most valued by Situ Zhang Sun Han among the generals who went out to "kill" the tribe, and she was also very satisfied with her behavior.
Of course, not because of her kindness to her captives, but because she was quick enough.
Quick, the soldiers are very fast, and there is no hesitation.
Easier said than done.
The five troops and horses were divided into five tribes. The group led by He Mulan was not large, but because it was the most elite Hu Ben army in the Right Army, she was divided into several large tribes.
"First Evolution"
It wasn't to say how fast He Mulan attacked the tribe. She used a well-trained army to attack the herdsmen. Even if there were Rouran cavalrymen who had traveled south, they would only be annihilated.
However, the practice of the Xianbei people fighting and looting is sometimes too time-consuming, and no matter how the general orders, it is difficult to prevent the soldiers under the tent from spending a lot of time on this matter.
The Wei army had no military pay, and even generals had to raise their own troops to break through a tribe, not to burn, kill, and loot, but there was a chance of looting.
He Mulan led the troops out and returned at the end. She was the only one who kept the time, and the whole army was not burdened. He Mulan just left his confidants to count the number of trophies and check the information of the prisoners. The other cavalry followed her. Continue to fight and return at the appointed time.
When the teams loaded with trophies returned to the agreed water source one after another, Hua Mulan's Hu Ben army had already set up camp and started cooking.
Naturally, there is excitement. He Mulan has always been generous, and she has never been greedy for the things of people under the ink. This has already been spread by her subordinates when she sets the horse, so no one is worried about her character or lack of things. , are relishing their military exploits.
When the army gathered, and when the eldest Sun Han listened to everyone's military reports, he scolded all these generals.
"We are cavalry, not robbers! We are not crawly! We are here to break through a country, not horse thieves who rob and run away! The military orders are like mountains, I want you to join forces here before sunset, why only come in the middle of the month? Did the army meet the enemy here? What if you were too slow to meet the supporting army when you returned?"
He Mulan was rather embarrassed at this time. As the only colleague among the "backward generals" who completed the task on time, it was natural that he would be pulled out by the eldest Sun Han as a model.
Everyone knows that a big tree attracts the wind, but in this case, when the coach wants to use you as a model, there is no way other than to use it for him.
As a result, several generals were scolded until their faces were ugly, and Yuan Po Qiang said, unable to bear it any longer: "Elderly Sun Situ, the generals must know that the scouts will report the situation at any time, right? We won the first battle. , excitement is normal."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Usually, I can't even see Wrigg's butt when I chase it, but now I can fight it myself, of course I'm happy!"
"The wriggling is very poor, Lord Situ, if we don't bring something back, it will be difficult for us to even supply supplies!"
A group of generals started talking in a row. Seeing that everyone was defending, He Mulan always felt that she should say something, but General Xia Hong gave her a wink and shook her head silently.
Since General Xia Hong gave her summer clothes, and she felt that the summer clothes sent by General Xia were the most suitable ones to wear every day, General Xia became more pleasant to her.
"Hua Mulan, you are well-mannered and obey the military orders. This time you deserve a reward." Zhang Sun Han, a Shangguan with clear rewards and punishments, said to the young general, "My army on the western front will be dispatched, and next time I will let yours go. The Hu Ben Army will be the vanguard and come out on top."
As soon as these words came out, the generals of the Right Army all showed excited expressions. The vanguard army is almost synonymous with "elite". Haven't you seen that the Yingyang army is a vanguard almost every time? It is because the vanguard army has repeatedly achieved "high gains", whether it is sieging a city or taking the head of an enemy general, if it goes too late, there will be nothing left.
What's more, this kind of battle is sure to be won without any accident.
He Mulan sighed in her heart when she heard the importance of Zhang Sun Han, but accepted his reward with a look of gratitude on her face.
Personally, she doesn't like to face the ruined side of the family, but she knows that the military needs such victory, and her Hu Ben soldiers will be inspired by being "pioneers" and their morale will be high.
She is a modern person, but she is also an ancient military commander. She can't give up this kind of thing that not only boosts morale but also gains military merit.
After the eldest Sun Han praised He Mulan, He Mulan followed Xia Hong out of the tent.
The generals who fought with her were the elites of the Left Army and the Right Army, and the colleagues of the Right Army were not bad. Most of them didn't show it because they valued He Mulan and wanted to be married and won countless things. What animosity to come.
But the faces of the Zuo Army members were not very good-looking. When they came out of the tent, one of them asked strangely: "How much did General Hua capture this time? He didn't bring back many heads, and the ones who won't step on the empty camp. Bar?"
He Mulan smiled and hugged him: "There is indeed an empty camp, and there is nothing to gain, so I came back earlier."
She said it frankly, the Zuo army was not easy to attack, and walked away.
He Mulan closed her eyes helplessly. At this time, she realized that it was impossible to fight against the entire system with one person.
If nothing else, if the relationship between colleagues is not good in the military, it is likely to face a dangerous situation of doom and gloom, isolation and helplessness.
This is really not her strength, the only thing she can do is to be sincere to people.
"You don't have to worry. Although these generals don't look good, they are all straight-minded. The kind of people who will be gone tomorrow if they are angry. They won't hate you for this trivial matter." Xia Hong closed her tired eyes when she saw her. He got up, stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder with a kind smile.
"The You Army is proud of you. You are the most outstanding general I have ever brought. How can you set an example for the Right Army. Don't look like this, have a good night's rest, tomorrow will be the one who won the championship and the third army. General Hu Ben!"
He Mulan opened her eyes and was really grateful to this veteran. She bowed to Xia Hong, thanked him for his kindness, and turned around to head towards the Hu Ben army camp.
"Hey, to show affection to him like this, to treat him like his own, I don't know that he may have agreed to my daughter's marriage in my face..." Xia Hong was heartbroken for his daughter.
"Who is worthy of this eagle that soars for nine days..."
When he thought that he was so determined to tell his daughter at home early, so that after her daughter heard about Hua Mulan, he would not marry him, and Xia Hong had a feeling of digging a hole and burying it by himself.
But he didn't dare to write a letter to tell his daughter Hua Mulan that he had a marriage contract.
If it goes on like this, the underwear will be delivered.
My god, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he wouldn't be embarrassed to send underwear on his behalf, right
Isn't this tricking your dad...
The handyman camp, Gong Cao and others who followed He Mulan did not return to the main camp until late at night. The mighty crowd and torches made countless people scared and ran out to watch.
The army is dispatched. Speaking of an army of 100,000 or hundreds of thousands, in fact, at most only one-third of them are soldiers who actually fight. The rest are all responsible for cleaning the battlefield, responsible for logistical supplies, caring for war horses, and escorting trophies. Logisticians who record military exploits, etc., etc.
Of course, these people are naturally soldiers, and they have to fight immediately at critical moments, but in terms of their role in the army, they will always be the main arms in the army.
The same is true in Wei State. The cavalry is always the most important. The cavalry moves like the wind, moves fast, and the tactics are changeable, and the Xianbei people have many horses.
He Mulan broke through five tribes in one day, because he couldn't see the cry of men, women, and children, and his subordinates showed bloodthirsty or cruel faces that he was completely unfamiliar with. In order to make them return to their familiar appearances, So she had to rush to the next camp without stopping, filling their minds with other things.
For example, responsibility.
For example, obey.
But the handyman battalion and kung fu battalion that belonged to her would not forget her military exploits. In a certain sense, the kung fu officer and kung fu battalion also depended on He Mulan for their meals, so when they arranged the "military exploits" in detail and properly, they returned When they arrived at the barracks, the livestock population was numerous, and a long line was drawn in the grasslands.
Those heads that He Mulan hadn't harvested, those captive crawlies, those cattle, sheep and horses, all appeared in front of everyone with an astonishing aura. Because it has never been divided or looted before, the number and integrity are even more eye-catching.
He Mulan was exhausted physically and mentally, and had already fallen asleep. Before going to bed, she instructed Peanut not to wake her up. If the spoils arrived, half of them would be left to the generals, and the remaining half would be given to the soldiers. The captive war horses, cattle and sheep were handed over to the army in exchange for military merit or money.
The coach didn't show up, but Man Gu passed on the order that He Mulan had given before going to bed. For a while, laughter continued in the Huben camp. Such a generous and generous coach was almost unique, even if the prisoners were old, weak, sick and disabled Yes, and no one has any meaning anymore.
No matter whether the prisoners are old, weak, sick or disabled, they are counted according to the population. Although it is said that the heads of these wastes were not cut off for military merit, the number of prisoners added up is objective. It is natural to use the heads of old people and children as military merits in the army, but for an elite like Hubenying, this is a disgrace. The heads of strong men are used for military merits, and the rest of the population are prisoners. This is a man.
In fact, He Mulan may not have as many trophies and prisoners as other generals, but because she is not good at killing, most of the wriggly heads brought back by the handyman camp are young and strong men, and there are many prisoners alive. Extraordinarily vast.
The same is true of cattle, sheep and horses. Once the crawlies surrender, the horses, cattle and sheep will naturally be taken away, but if the killing is too much, even the crawlies will bite their teeth and set fire to the camp, kill the cattle and sheep, and leave nothing to the enemy after they can't stop them.
Some of the old men in He Mulan's captive team even came back after being tied to a cow horse and didn't even walk. Because these meritorious officers also hope to hand over the prisoners alive, they will not care whether they will live or die after handing over.
This night's unintentional intervention left a mark on the hearts of most generals, and it also gave many self-respecting generals a signal of challenge.
'Try not to use the heads of old and weak women and children for military feats. Mother Hua Mulan brought back the heads of strong men. We all use the heads of old and weak women and children to make up for it. When the time comes, the loss of face will not count. Your Majesty knows that it must be done. Heavily punished! '
'Isn't it just a bunch of prisoners? Wriggling has nothing, no people yet? Lao Tzu will take more prisoners than him next time, let's see how crazy he is! I will catch you alive next time! '
If He Mulan knew what these competitors were thinking at this time, he would wake up laughing from a dream, right
Maybe.
***
Rouran Royal Court.
"So, our Great Khan hopes that you can take care of yourself. It's better to be able to provoke infighting, but the most important thing is that you can send back the information accurately. Especially Da Tan, although Da Tan is old, he still has the same glory. I don't know what crazy decisions he's going to make."
The speaker was dressed in a black leather coat, and although he spoke with Lu Pi in a respectful tone, he was also very respectful to the speaker judging from Lu Pi's attitude.
"Calculate the time, the army should have set off at this time."
"I see. Now I have contacted a 'friend' from Gaoche..."
When talking about friends, Lu Pi's face was inexplicably red.
"She is a dignitary on Gaoche's side. She will help me stabilize Gaoche, and she is not inclined to any prince."
Lu Pi said with a smile, "As long as Gaoche people don't help any prince, this infighting will continue endlessly until Wu Ti kills the other brothers or the other brothers kill everyone..."
"Every time I talk to you, I'm glad I'm not an enemy." The man who spoke smiled, "The situation is not right now, Your Majesty means, you'd better send your sister and relatives and friends to the south quietly, and the army will go straight. Came to the royal court, if you accidentally get hurt, it will be bad."
"The Great Khan has been properly settled, and the coach of the western front will send someone to protect them until they enter a safe place in the rear. I also sent a message to your father and mother, and I have already sent someone to pick them up. , the news that their children are all in the Great Wei, they will definitely be willing to live in Pingcheng. The Great Khan will treat them with the courtesy of a prince."
Lu Pi's parents were expelled by Da Tan to Beiyan two years ago. He has only one sister in Rouran, who is only four years old this year. Because of her cute looks, he treats her like a daughter.
Hearing that Wei Guo had settled his parents and relatives, Lu Pi became more and more grateful to the person in front of him.
"Thank you so much, Suhe-sama, for always working hard for you, and in such a dangerous place..."
Lu Pi stroked his chest.
"It's nothing, I like to run around. With your help, it's not dangerous at all to come to the royal court, and among the civil and military ministers in the Wei country, I am afraid that I am the first to come to the royal court of Rouran, and I am the first. That's right, haha, hahaha..."
Su and Jun laughed arrogantly.
"King Youxian don't care about my safety. I have already done things. After Wang Ting carefully inquires about the news for a few days, he will return to the army on the east front. Although I am curious, I am not reckless and will not give You made a mess."
"You really... But you've been out for so long, it's time to go back."
Lu Bi sighed.
"It's just that we say goodbye today, and I don't know when we will see you again."
"In the future when you ascend the throne of Khan, there will be a time to see you again." Suhe Jun and Lu Pi are also acquaintances, so he could not help but persuade him: "But since you have already become obedient to my Wei, why are you still obsessed with it? What about the position of Khan? Walking on the tip of a knife like this is dangerous."
"That's what my father owes my mother, and that's what Datan owes my father."
Lubi gritted his teeth. "I don't care about this Khan, but I won't give it to any descendants of Datan again."
Su Hejun nodded clearly and didn't say much.
Although they have long been in contact with this righteous king, and they are also alliances, but the other party is a Rouran person after all, and they cannot completely trust each other's words.
Just like the last time he spread the news, saying that the Rouran army was dispatched on the east and west lines, but he did not tell them that he had joined forces with the people of Xia to go to Shuozhou to capture their majesty, even if he explained in the letter that it was because of his identity Not enough to find out why they went south...
But Su Hejun doesn't believe in a local snake like him, but he can't find out the real purpose at all.
Although this person looks straightforward, no one can guess what he is actually thinking. Su Hejun is an egret official and a messenger, but he is not here to make friends.
So Su Hejun chatted with him for a few words, and after telling him where the people in the southwest were located, he asked him curiously.
"You said that the friend on Gaoche's side, do you want me and the coach of the western line to inform? In case of accidental injury or any accident, at least there is a guarantee."
When the army is in chaos, it is not impossible if you go to the wrong place and catch a tall man. There are still many people in the army who do not know that the Gaocheren are ready to surrender.
Lu Pi pondered for a while, and felt that Su Hejun's reminder was indeed reasonable. He was an important official by Tuoba Tao's side, and he was born in an egret official who mastered all the scouts and eyeliners. He should be safe to protect a woman.
"So, thank you very much."
Lu Pi took this favor.
"It doesn't matter, what's that friend's name? I'll send a letter to let the other generals pay attention."
Su Hejun smiled.
Gaoche will be attached sooner or later, this kind of favor is not worth it.
"She... She's very beautiful..." Lu Bi said inexplicably about other things, "If you see a beautiful woman named Hua Mulan, please don't hurt her."
Flowers... Mulan
woman
Very... what the hell
Su and Jun suddenly froze.
