Speaking of Princess Lelang's life, it can be described as ups and downs.
She was originally the daughter of Beiyan Heavenly King Feng Ba and the Queen. She was the daughter of the eldest son. Since she was very beautiful, she has been learning languages of various ethnic groups, the balance of the back house, and how to get along with men since she can remember. Skills, it can be said that she was born to prepare for being a queen or princess.
The other princesses of Beiyan are very jealous of her, and they are also envious of the path she will take in the future, until Beiyan is persuaded by Rouran and is willing to form an alliance with Rouran to fight against the Northern Wei Dynasty together...
Beiyan was in the east of the Wei state, and the northeast was a bitter cold land at this time. Although it produced salt, it was impossible for the four countries to trade with each other because of the cut off of traffic. To the south of Beiyan is the sea, to the east is Goguryeo, to the north is Khitan and Kumoxi, and to the farther is Rouran, and to the west is the growing state of Wei.
Rouran is willing to offer a stallion who has never been gelded to ask for his daughter to marry, and she will call for the famous Princess Lelang. At this time, the cavalry of Yanzhou was not strong. Princess Lelang, as the daughter who was sacrificed, married Hulu, who offered her horse to her, and began most of her tragic life.
She was born to be really beautiful and possessed almost all the virtues of a woman. Hulu ascended the throne of Khan, and the entire Rouran belonged to his territory. She was even more proud of marrying a princess with a distinguished status and a beautiful appearance.
Just a few years later, Rouran became chaotic, and Hulu Khan was expelled to Beiyan by Bu Luzhen, who was in trouble. Because of Princess Lelang, Hulu Khan was safe in Beiyan, and it was also dispelled. Returning to Rouran's thoughts, he continued to live the life of his concubine in Beiyan.
However, at this time, Da Tan raised troops in Rouran to quell the rebellion and killed Bu Luzhen's group.
Hulu Khan thought that Datan was the general of the "Qingjun's side", and hurriedly wanted to borrow troops from Beiyan to return to Rouran. Beiyan naturally borrowed it, but halfway through, the army mutiny, and some people spread rumors about this. People who go to Rouran are cannon fodder, and they can't return to their homeland after the battle. The soldiers of Beiyan were originally reluctant to go all the way to fight for a foreign country's defeated khans.
As for Hulu Khan, he was killed by a Yan soldier so inexplicably in the chaos.
Hulu Khan died, Lu Pi was too young to manage the government, Datan ascended the throne, offered more cattle and horses than Hulu Khan, and asked for an alliance. The relationship between Qin and Jin is good, so Princess Lelang's Feng family remarried again and became Datan's concubine (concubine), and began to continue to live in Rouran.
This princess is really powerful, and no way is in the hands of any man, and she is very favored. She is beautiful, as the princess of Beiyan, and Ketun who took office as the Khan. She is also served by guards and maids from the country of Yan, so she doesn't need to look at Datan Ketun's face.
Gradually, she competed with Da Tan's wife and won a place in the back. Lu Pi's embarrassing status as King Youxian has nothing to do with Princess Lelang's victory in the back tent.
As for her own view of this life, this is not enough for outsiders.
When He Mulan heard this story, a traditional romance story of at least one million words was immediately drawn in her mind.
The princess from a small country of Han people was originally the arrogant daughter of heaven. She studied in order to be worthy of her respected status. She became a pro-princess. Fortunately, husband and wife can be considered affectionate. Despised, not a queen, but better than a queen.
In one day, the world was turned upside down, the wife became the third child, and the former Ke Dun had to crawl under the feet of other women and kiss the insteps of others. No matter how sad it was, she should make a covenant for her country and her husband's country to protect her children from harm. Getting hurt…
No matter which website it is on, at least ten male supporting characters can be written on such a theme, and the stories of all kinds of overbearing princes falling in love with me.
It's a pity that Princess Lelang didn't meet the god who loves her, but the reality she wrote is so unbearable.
In private, General Xia Hong told He Mulan some of the world's guesses. There have always been rumors in Wei that the death of Hulu Khan was a conspiracy, a plan between Datan and the King of Beiyan, because Hulu had lost power, but Datan had already mastered most of the support, and Datan had more. Ambitious and more capable, the King of Beiyan chose Datan between the two, so he sacrificed Hulu and Princess Lelang.
As for Beiyan, those soldiers fled back to Yan State in scattered scattered, without any punishment, which almost verified this speculation of the Wei people.
The Rouran people happily re-concluded a covenant with Datan and Beiyan. The Rouran people had the habit of successors marrying their predecessors' wives, so Princess Lelang was still very respected from the Ketun to the Ye family.
On the contrary, Lu Pi's identity is embarrassing. Princes with such an identity as Lu Pi have not been absent from Rouran's history in the past, and even ascended the throne of Khan, so it has caused more and more concerns to others.
The person He Mulan wanted to escort turned out to be such a powerful woman, who was almost the one who made He Mulan look down on the mountain, so she was naturally cautious. The other big figure was Princess Lelang's four-year-old daughter. According to He Mulan's tendency not to attract children, especially the little buns, her troubles were already written on her face.
Fortunately, Adan Zhiqi's family had a child of the same age, so He Mulan specially brought Adan Zhiqi with him, planning to let him take care of the little girl and take care of Princess Lelang himself.
He Mulan had thought that Princess Lelang would come in a carriage, horseback, or even on foot, but she did not expect that Princess Lelang would come in a high cart.
Yes, you read that right, "driving" a high car.
In the distance, a few tall cars of the Chile people were escorted towards them by a group of guards. If He Mulan had not determined that most of the old and weak women and children of the Gaoche tribe were already here, he would have thought that there were still some left behind. Women and children, just caught up.
On top of the tall car at the head was a woman wrapped in a cloak, wearing wolf-skin gloves in her hands, driving the tall car, looking like the kind of sturdy woman that is common in tall car groups.
But when the tall car approached, He Mulan realized that the woman in the cloak was not "burly", let alone "strong". The driver also came down and asked aloud:
"Which one is General Hu Ben? Our wife and girl came as agreed."
This was also agreed before. When they entered the Gaoche tribe, they would not call them "Princess" or "Little Princess", but "Mrs." and "Girls".
In order to show her solemnity, He Mulan put on all the gluttonous battle armor today, just to make Gao Che and Princess Lelang not underestimate her young general. When she was wearing windy armor and driving more and more out of the crowd, she really shocked these coachmen, and they all touched her chest and saluted.
Immediately, He Mulan turned her head slightly to them reserved, and then turned around to ask the woman in the lead, "Excuse me, are Mrs. Feng and the girl in the carriage behind? I'm a man, can it be convenient? Come forward to greet me?"
She doesn't know Rouran's rules, nor does she know what Beiyan's rules are, but at least she's not rude. It's always right to ask in advance.
Sure enough, He Mulan's "consideration" made the leading woman quite satisfied. She nodded, took off the hood on her head, and bowed slightly to He Mulan's chest, saying in skilled Xianbei words: "General, you're welcome. My daughter slept peacefully in the car, and I thought they were not safe enough to drive, so I made you laugh by driving by myself."
As soon as the hood was taken off, He Mulan suddenly felt that his eyes lit up. Under the gray cloak, there was such a beautiful woman hidden!
In ancient times, He Mulan had not seen many beauties. The oiran who had spent three taels of gold and A Danzhuo to see it couldn't reach her fingertips.
"Zhao Ming" may be considered a beauty, but now she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she has not fully grown, so she is not as graceful as the mature woman in front of her.
Mrs. Le Lang's hair was just tucked behind her head, without any decoration, and she wore an airtight white fox fur coat under the cloak. Because of her slender figure, she was not bloated at all, which made her extremely elegant and moving. Even though He Mulan was a woman, she couldn't help but bow her head to suppress her pounding heart.
This lady is already forty years old, and she has such a beautiful face, which is even more evident when she was a young girl. She can be said to have been in Rouran for a long time, but she still does not forget to take good care of her appearance. Obviously, she is also a person who will cherish herself.
He Mulan hurriedly dismounted, and quite enthusiastically sent someone to pull the high car they drove over and guide them towards the place that had been arranged.
"I really didn't expect Madam to come in a high car. The journey is hard. Please rest for a while. The tent is ready for you."
"Since it is mixed in with the tall car people, it is natural to be like the tall car people." Princess Lelang smiled and pulled up the hood to cover her face.
"I'm tired of the general, don't know the general's name?"
"My surname is Hua, and my name is Mulan. Madam calls me Mulan." He Mulan looked at Princess Lelang who suddenly stopped, and looked slightly sideways: "What's wrong with Madam?"
"It's nothing... I just suddenly remembered a friend of my son, who seems to have this name too." Princess Lelang looked into Hua Mulan's eyes without any expression, and asked, "Has General Hua never been to Rouran?"
"Yes, this is the first time for me to follow Your Majesty to go to Rouran in person."
He Mulan thought that Mrs. Feng was questioning her youth, so she couldn't help but smile.
"The lady asked if this was..."
"No, I just think it's a coincidence in this world that people from two different countries can have the same name..."
"Mulan's name is really common, not to mention men, even women are called by a lot of people. I'm used to having the same name as others. Madam doesn't have to feel emotional."
"It's true. 'Mulan' - rich, but a typical name for a grassland child." Princess Lelang didn't know who she was speaking to, she muttered a few words to herself, and continued walking with her head down.
When He Mulan mentioned this name, she burst into tears.
In the army, there are about as many "Mulan" as "Jianguo" and "Jianjun" in the previous life. Fortunately, she is the only one with the surname of Hua.
Flowers are rich, flowers are prosperous, and even more terrible, if this name is given to girls, there is another meaning of blessing - more children.
In the eyes of the nomads, abundance and wealth are flocks of cattle and sheep, and many children are blessed, but how can a woman whose aunt has never been there be "Mulan"...
fall!
Princess Lelang and He Mulan each thought about their own thoughts before arriving at the camp, Princess Lelang turned around and ordered to hug the sleeping princess in the car, and smiled apologetically.
"As soon as this daughter of mine arrives at the carriage or on the horse, she will fall asleep within a short time. It is a quirk. It's just that if she wakes up, she will inevitably cry and make me feel very distressed."
How could He Mulan remember correctly? Princess Lelang's son Yu Jiulupi later became a minister of the Wei Kingdom, in charge of the affairs of Rouran's lowering. Tribute. And his younger sister is the wife of the hard-fought prince Tuoba Huang, who pushed the eleven-year-old Tuoba Huang's little brother under the skirt.
Thinking about it this way, He Mulan felt that the world was absurd.
This princess is four years older than Tuoba Huang. When Tuoba Huang was eleven years old, she was only fifteen years old. Two small children, just played with a son
This is how older young women and young men live!
Therefore, He Mulan watched with awe as the wrestler beside Princess Lelang hugged the little soft princess and followed behind Princess Lelang.
The little princess was wrapped in a large cloak made of peach-pink silk, thought to be the fabric of Liu Song in the south, but for some reason it came to Rouran. The little girl's complexion was healthy, wrapped in a peach-colored cloak, she looked more and more tender and cute, her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes were like fans. Even if He Mulan didn't take a close look at her appearance, she could see her at a glance. eyelash.
Han people generally don't have such long and thick eyelashes, but He Mulan's fellow fire Di Yefei also has such eyebrows, and she doesn't like children very much, so after a few glances, she withdrew her gaze.
"The princess is really cute." He Mulan handed over her hands: "Madam, please enter the account. If you need anything, you may as well tell this guy. He is my deputy general, A Shan Zhiqi, who is responsible for protecting Madam's safety."
"It's work."
Princess Lelang knew very well what kind of commotion her appearance would cause among a group of men, so even though she was a forty-year-old woman, she still covered her face with a silk scarf in the tent. A Shan Zhiqi was credited.
He Mulan was so focused on Di Yefei and the Gaoche clan that she had no time to take care of Princess Lelang herself, so she dispatched the most attentive and child-bearing Adan Zhiqi to take care of them, and arranged so many high school children by herself. The car old and young eat and drink Lazard and march to the south.
Poor A'Dan Zhiqi was left to take care of this big man who was said to be called "Mrs. Feng" before he could figure out what happened. He felt uneasy and scolded He Mulan in his heart.
It's true that he has a wife and children, but he has no experience with "big men" either!
He can throw his son into the sky, can he treat the little princess like this
Seeing that he was nervous, Princess Lelang couldn't help but said softly, "Please don't be so cramped, sit down..."
She pointed to a cushion below her head.
The tent was very warm, because I knew that a child was coming, so there were charcoal-burning pots in the four corners, and the ground was covered with thick animal skins to make carpets.
I have to meet these people today, so I can make some arrangements. When the march starts in the next few days, it will not be so comfortable. It is possible to spend a day of eating and drinking in a high car.
A Shan Zhiqi tidied up his clothes and sat upright, not daring to look up, only looking at his knees. The maids and guards behind Princess Lelang smiled at each other, and their eyes were full of jokes.
"Dare to ask General Adan, why is the Gaoche tribe here?" Princess Lelang asked, "The envoy from your country said that he would escort us to Heishan City, and then turn to Pingcheng, and also said that he would mix us into Gaoshan City. The chariots are going south, so I came here with the tall chariots of the tall chariots in the territory. But I didn’t expect so many chariot tribes to go south with us…”
There was nothing wrong with Princess Lelang's face at all, but in fact, there was already a storm in her heart.
Her son did not hide anything from her, so when he met a woman from the Di family named Hua Mulan, what kind of agreement did he make, how her son was attached to this woman, and wanted to marry a wife and concubine. Told his mother.
Princess Lelang valued being a monk, and naturally hoped that her son could marry a gentle and docile or well-informed noble girl, but this emphasis was more because she was worried that her son would not find like-minded people and shared values. The view of the portal, rather than simply focusing on where you come from.
The hardships of life have made her understand that some things are beyond her origin and appearance. After hearing how Lu Pi praised Mulan's wisdom and calmness in her letter, she also sincerely hoped that that woman would be worthy of her son. man of.
Especially when she heard that "Mulan" had successfully persuaded the Gaoche tribes to attach his son, and sent out the old and young women and children of the tribe to fight with peace of mind, she admired this woman even more.
There are a lot of people in Gaoche, and the people who can join the alliance in Jinshan are even more powerful. It is not only excellent to be able to decide major events as a woman? Not to mention that everyone who has seen the "Mulan" around her son praised her as a peerless beauty. If she has both talent and beauty, she is simply outstanding and unparalleled.
But what she saw now was that the old and weak women and children of the Gaoche tribe had indeed gone south, not to take refuge in Zhuoye Mountain, but to the camp in Montenegro.
And the "Mulan" she knew was the name of a Xianbei general.
Mulan's name is common. The Xiongnu and Xianbei have this name a lot, but Rouran is rare. How can she not be shocked
Princess Lelang felt that her son seemed to have fallen into some kind of conspiracy without knowing it, but instead fell down with a smile. She doesn't worry about him being used or deceived at all, because these are all ways to make him more mature and excellent, only love...
"Love" this kind of thing, for a man who has never been, the harm caused is far more terrible than the use of it. If the loved one in the heart uses him, it will be even more painful, and it can even completely destroy a person's will.
Princess Lelang came to Wei State because she wanted to get rid of her current life and live the life she wanted.
She doesn't care about the righteousness of her family, her status, her reputation.
Only her own son, she didn't want him to suffer any more suffering.
So Princess Lelang must find out what happened.
Where is the problem!
When A'Dan Zhiqi heard Princess Lelang's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully, "Mrs. Feng, we don't know about this. We just obeyed the orders and escorted these tribes south."
Migrating from Mobei to Monan, these Gaoche tribes have long been exhausted. But in order to avoid the chaos and injury when the two countries were at war, they had to drive a high car down south at the fastest speed to this place.
At this time, He Mulan had been marching for four or five days, and the Gaoche tribe had set off all the way to the south half a month ago. Only then did they finally successfully receive the Gaoche tribe who fled south. After a while, they arrived. The place where the Wei army camped.
Along the line of Difuchi is the rear of the Wei army, so there is no need to worry about Rouran people attacking rashly.
Hearing that A'Dan Zhiqi didn't understand, or it was inconvenient to tell herself, Princess Lelang felt uneasy. She thanked A'Dan Zhiqi, and then turned to ask General Hu Ben about Hua Mulan, as well as his preferences and family. , As if a mother who had fallen in love with a good son-in-law and wanted to marry her child, asked very carefully, and even asked if he had a sweetheart.
"Our general's sweetheart? Where can there be such a thing!"
When A Shan Zhiqi heard Princess Lelang's gossip, he felt at ease, and he laughed and said, "Our generals are young and promising, and many generals with daughters or juniors in the Montenegro camp want to tell the girls at home to Hua. General, it's just that General Hua runs away in fright every time, saying bluntly, 'Rouran is not broken, why is home'. Now all the generals in the army are gearing up, just waiting to break Rouran, let's see if the general has any excuses... Uh... "
A Shan Zhiqi suddenly remembered that Mrs. Feng seemed to be a Rouran person, and immediately fell silent, and looked over apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, I also think it would be great if Rouran could be broken..." The understanding voice sounded softly, Princess Lelang was silent for a while thoughtfully, and then asked the maid to take out some gold and silver The gadgets made are given to Adan Zhiqi as a gift.
A'Dan Zhiqi happily took it, but looked at the little princess sleeping beside the brazier in the tent with a strange expression, and couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart:
'Huo Chang doesn't have any special talents, and he specially attracts his mother-in-law and husband-in-law, right? This Mrs. Feng, who came from nowhere, asked Huo Chang's relationship status as soon as they met. Even if her daughter grew up, it would take ten years for Huo Chang to marry such a little girl...'
He looked at Princess Lelang again.
'If it is said that she wants to recruit a husband, even if this lady looks young, she can see that she is about 30 years old, and our family's fire chief is only in her 20s. This... this is a bit... '
This fiery peach blossom is really strange
Could it be that this lady also has an eldest daughter at home, so she paid attention
A Shan Zhiqi put the gold and silver into his arms and touched his face.
'Huo Chang's ordinary appearance can attract so many elders' likes. I think I am handsome and masculine. Why was it so difficult to get my mother-in-law? '
Well, it must be because the armor is more dazzling.
Must be armor, armor!
Princess Lelang excused herself a little tired and wanted to rest, so she took Adan Zhiqi away. After A'Dan Zhiqi left, she summoned her confidant and gave an order.
"The situation is not quite right. It looks like this, the Gaoche people are not allied with the righteous king, but with the Wei people. Go out and see how many Gaoche people are outside, and then come back and talk to the Wei people. I report."
"Yes, ma'am!"
She thought about it, but still felt something was wrong, and immediately summoned two more warriors.
"While these Wei people are still arranging Gaoche people to take care of us, you rush to the southern foot of Jinshan to chase King Youxian and tell him about this. If the Gaoche tribe has a different heart, I'm worried that he will be in danger. There is no one now. Knowing that he has formed an alliance with Wei Guo, if he is accidentally injured by yin and yang, then it will be a big problem!"
"But Madam, we don't know where King Youxian is..."
Now there are people from Wei State everywhere, a few of them are running outside, and they can easily be killed as Rouran people. If you are looking around like a headless fly...
"You go to the place where the Gaoche people meet at the southern foot of the Jinshan Mountain, and find an Aqihuo in the Di clan. King Youxian must be here. My son has many people, and it is not easy to hide his whereabouts. You can find it when the time comes. The situation is urgent. , you must not delay."
"Yes, ma'am, let's go now."
Although a few warriors did not know what happened, they belonged to King Youxian. When they heard about King Youxian's safety, they immediately ran out of the tent.
Princess Lelang slowly paced to her daughter's side, sat down on her knees, stroked her sleeping daughter's exposed ears and hair, and sighed softly.
"I hope your brother will not be as bumpy as me in the road of love. No matter what kind of true love, once it is mixed with the righteousness of the family and the country, it will never be able to have both. Is this a curse? My children have to bear and I Same ending..."
She closed her eyes and kissed her daughter's forehead.
"I only hope that you are safe and happy, and that you are free from worry all your life."
***
Tiger Ben army.
"General Hua, how do you arrange so many people?" The original generals of the Hu Ben Army frowned and looked at the tall car that could not be seen.
wcxsw.org
"It won't bring over all the old, weak, women and children under the Jinshan Mountain, right? It's going to our place, there must be not enough food and grass!"
"They prepared their own food, so you don't have to worry." He Mulan had already communicated with several accompanying leaders of Gaocheren this time. The leader of Di's family, Di's staple food, said that Gaocheren had prepared enough meat to be able to Eat until you reach your destination.
As for the arrival at the destination, the lambs and calves in the carts can be taken out for grazing, and in a few months, there will be new food.
And they also raised rabbits in the high car. The rabbits are born very fast, and it will not be long before they have a source of food.
These generals breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they didn't need to worry about the meal. As long as they don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and leasing, they will be able to reach the camp in a few days, and then leave this group of people to the baggage team at the rear to take care of them.
It won't take more than half a year to lay down Rouran at most. They still have food to feed these people for half a year, not to mention that they themselves don't just want to eat Wei people's food. Such an ally deserves respect and makes these generals very happy.
Happily, things are yet to come.
The women and children Gaoche brought a lot of weapons and arrows as gifts to He Mulan and others. Although the Hu Ben army is not short of armaments, but now they go deep into the grasslands, it is not easy to supply, if the weapons are damaged or the ammunition and food are exhausted, it is difficult to replenish.
He Mulan also wanted to stop the big Tan from Xidun in the future. Now, the stronger her strength is, the better. She thanked the Di clan and other clans for the gifts, and accepted them happily. When he arrived at Naro, he rode a war horse and ran all the way.
Today it is he who leads the patrol and monitors the surrounding movement.
"General Hua, there is an enemy soldier in the northeast. There are about 8,000 soldiers. It should be heading in the direction of the Difuchi camp. It will meet us in half a day."
As soon as these words came out, the generals and Gao Che people all showed surprise, and couldn't help but look at He Mulan.
At this moment, He Mulan's mind flashed a flash of light and flint, and the Rouran herdsmen who were dispersed by the left army generals on patrol. Later, the generals of the Zuo Army avoided mentioning this matter. She didn't want to offend her colleagues, so she didn't think much about it and forgot about it. Now that I think about it, those are probably not herdsmen, but Rouran's scouts.
The army has already rushed to attack the royal court according to the order of General Changsun. The front line of Difuchi is all guarding the baggage and forage. The camping area near the water source is also guarded by heavy troops. There are about 10,000 horses in the camp, plus handymen, Logistics officials, etc., about 20,000 people.
He Mulan was not at all worried that the camp at the rear would suffer, but before these cavalrymen reached Diverchi, they would encounter this group of tall people.
"Pass on the generals and prepare to fight. Na Luohun, send Officer Bo Ya back to ask for help. We are now delaying ahead for a while, waiting for the arrival of the army."
He Mulan gave the order calmly, as if he had a plan in his mind, but he calmed down his heart, and the Hu Ben army immediately moved in an orderly manner.
They were all well-trained professional soldiers, and the Hu Ben Army immediately began to adjust their harnesses and weapons, prepare their horses and substitute horses, prepare their bows and arrows, and prepare to attack.
There are few Rouran people on the western front, and now the Rouran people are all running in the direction of the royal court. It is hard to guarantee that this cavalry is not the daring tribe leader who wants to steal the camp, or there are other reasons for coming here.
The top priority now is not to let these soft people find out that the Gaoche people are also here, otherwise once the news spreads, the Gaoche tribe at the southern foot of the Jinshan Mountain may be in danger.
He Mulan actually didn't have a clue in her heart, but she knew that these people could not be allowed to go south, and the Gaoche tribe could not be exposed. These people were all young and old, and they came here to avoid the war. Enter the war, otherwise the covenant with the Gaoche people will be meaningless.
At this time, the terrain is flat and smooth, there are no strong walls to defend in front, no mountains to retreat behind, and the opponent's number is dominant.
Looking at the continuous formation of Gao Che people, He Mulan suddenly thought of an idea.
