Er Mianxin, who lost a third of his men, led his generals to flee east, for fear that he would run into the Xianbei people who were advancing westward, and be trampled into flesh by the army.
The Rouran people have no belief in "loyalty" and "dead battle", and only "preserving strength" exists in their hearts. This team fled in a hurry. They didn't meet the Xianbei people, but they met the people who were also heading for Jinshan. Lu Pi and his party.
Lu Pi was originally not slow, but in order to cover up his whereabouts, he first looked eastward to look for his sister, and then turned back to Jinshan in the west, so he fell behind He Mulan instead.
He was worried that the Gaoche tribe had been defeated by the army led by Ermianxin, and when he saw that there were no traces of Gaoche people in the team that turned back to the royal court in front of him, and no Gaoche was accompanying him, he suddenly made up his mind, and then he became suspicious. puzzled.
Er Mianxin is currently the most powerful tribe leader under Wu Ti's account. Rouran was attacked by Wei people. Wu Ti asked him to come to Gaoche. , why does it seem like it has suffered a big loss
Lu Pi brought the army to the Gaoche clan. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to defeat Ermianxin's generals. He formed a siege of Gaoche, and checked his sweetheart's favorability, and finally accepted the allegiance of the Gaoche clan. …
Now that Er Mianxin no longer attacks Gaoche, his small calculations have also failed, and he is even more confused, not knowing what happened.
Because Gao Che has always been docile, Lu Pi never thought that they would really fight to the death, let alone that his sweetheart would be so brave. He was inconvenient to appear, so he ordered a confidant, who was also the tribe owner of the western territory, and acted as the tribe leader who had just passed by with his troops to support the royal court to inquire about news.
An hour later, the confidant came back, but brought back a piece of news that shocked Lu Pi.
A large number of Xianbei cavalry appeared near the Gaoche tribe, and they were all brave and good at fighting. Ermianxin was attacked by this army before he could defeat the Gaoche tribe. The royal court returns.
Lu Pi did not doubt that he had him. He had also explained to Ermianxin several times in the royal court. He knew that the opponent was simple-minded, and it was normal to run back once he was defeated. He took his troops and horses to hide for a while, and waited for most of Ermianxin to leave before continuing westward.
"Master, what do we do now? Are we still going to Jinshan?"
A general worried in his heart and asked Lu Pi: "Now the southern foot of the Jinshan Mountain is likely to have been captured by the Xianbei people. If we go again now, it is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a snare..."
"Go to the neighborhood first to see if it is the Hu Ben Army."
Lu Pi knew that the Wei troops on the western front had already gone to the royal court, and there were only a few troops with special tasks left in the west. He sent his mother to the Hu Ben army, expecting that his mother should have been sent to the rear at this time, so the Hu Ben army will continue to attack north.
In this case, the general of the Hu Ben army should know his identity, and there should be no danger for him to go to the Gaoche tribe to meet him.
"But if Gaoche has already been occupied by Hu Ben, even if it is the Hu Ben army, there is no point for us to go!" The confidant said with a bitter face, "Maybe we will be beaten back by the Wei people!"
It's just that if the Gaoche tribe has been occupied by the Wei people, it will be very difficult to win the Gaoche people from the Wei people.
The Wei people lived on military merit, and it should be a great achievement to be able to capture the Gaoche tribe. General Hu Ben and him had no reason to give up this great achievement, and gave him the reason to fight the royal court with his captives and followers.
If he wanted to fight, General Hu Ben would lead his troops to fight.
So his confidants persuaded him not to go again, just hoping that he would not have any more troubles.
"How do you know what I'm going to do!" Lu Pi held the jade pendant on his chest with a smile on his face. "I didn't go to war, so what does it have to do with General Hu Ben meeting for a while?"
He formed an alliance with the Wei people, and he was the Rouran King Youxian. He was just a small tiger general in Wei, and he was not the royal family of Zhiqin. Respect to him as well.
What's more, he still has 8,000 cavalry, and the west is his territory. He can gather an army of tens of thousands at any time. Even if he is forced by his strength, the other party will not take him.
I just don't know what happened to Mulan.
Su Hejun had promised him that he would send letters to the generals in the west, and General Hu Ben naturally also received the letter, and he would definitely not neglect Di's "Aqihuo".
I heard that this General Hu Ben is also a young general, and Hua Mulan is so beautiful. Since ancient times, the hero has been saddened by the beauty pass, and even he cherishes Hua Mulan so much. Maybe when General Hu Ben sees her, he will also have a heart of admiration. …
Lu Pi thought about this, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately ordered the children to speed up their march. They must reach the southern foot of Jinshan before noon tomorrow.
***
Di Yefei went through a lot of twists and turns to reach Jinshan, and the hardships and hardships are naturally indescribable.
He Mulan and the other fellows brought Gaoche people down the mountain. She was the general of Wei State and an allied army who sheltered the old and weak, women and children of the tribe, and was enthusiastically welcomed by the Gaoche people. In the pasture, they set up camp again, slaughtered sheep and cattle, and brought out delicious wine to welcome the arrival of this tiger army.
Since He Mulan entered Rouran, she has broken through the herdsmen's tribe all the way. Everywhere she went, she cried and cried. How could she ever be greeted with wine like this and treated like a guest
Even Hu Benjun, who came with her to the Gaoche clan, felt that even for this moment, so many days of rushing march was worth it. Although there was no beauty, but good wine and good food, he successfully met the Gaoche people again. Teacher, of course, enjoy carnival and enjoy yourself.
Baimeng Book
It was a pity that there was no beauty. The Hu Ben army and the men of the Gaoche tribe sang and wrestled together. He Mulan was pulled by the heads of the Gaoche tribe to ask about things, and it was not until midnight. Come.
When the carnival that lasted until midnight was over, a group of former fellows dragged Di Yefei to his tent, finally feeling a little clean.
Di Yefei had already hugged these fellow firemen for a while when he was at the foot of the mountain. This time he was alone, and his emotions were even more excited.
"Oh, Rouran's sandstorm is so big that it blew our Dimei people a little black..."
Hu Lihun hugged Di Yefei and complained with a smile that Rouran's soil and water were not good.
"Seeing that you are all right, we are relieved."
A Shan Zhiqi then hugged Di Yefei.
"We were really freaked out when we saw those tall cars burning at the foot of the mountain from a distance."
"We burned it ourselves, just as a firewall defense."
Di Yefei also smiled and hugged Adan Zhiqi and left.
Toluo Daman stretched his arms exaggeratedly, raised his chest and said to Di Yefei:
"You must have suffered a lot of grievances, right? It's okay, my Tuluo's generous chest is waiting... ah!"
Toluo Daman was punched in the chest by Di Yefei and bent down in pain.
"Why are your hands still so black!"
The brothers Psump and Di Yefei hugged each other. They are a lot older and more calm. They know that if Di Yefei returns this time, he will definitely make great achievements, and they are happy to befriend him. Everyone sent a few words of blessing.
Di Yefei had a relaxed smile from beginning to end. When he was hugging Na Luo, the latter turned his head away from his face, just patted his back lightly, and then whispered with red ears:
"I brought you your halberd, and I'll bring it to you later!"
"That's great!" Di Yefei showed a surprised smile, "I don't have any weapons here, the battle is imminent, I'm worried, you really helped me a lot!"
When Di Yefei left the Montenegro camp, he had already become a centurion and shared a tent with Narohun. After he left, many things were left in the tent and handed over to Narohun for safekeeping. Na Luohun came to Rouran this time, thinking that he might be able to see Di Yefei, so he brought his weapons with him.
Di Yefei overthrew Rouran's common saber, but he was used to using double halberds, so his martial arts were discounted. At this time, when the two halberds returned to his hands, he was naturally excited.
"Di Yefei, why do I think you seem to have grown a little taller?" Tu Luo shouted loudly, "Before I left, I was not as tall as Huo Chang, but now it seems to be almost as tall as Huo Chang! slower than others?"
Di Yefei didn't notice his situation at first, but when Tuluo Daman said it, everyone in the tent became concerned and pulled them back against their backs, compared to their height.
Since He Mulan became a general, he hadn't messed with them for a long time. At this time, at their mercy, he just smirked and kept his back to Di Yefei obediently.
I saw that Di Yefei and He Mulan were already about the same height, and it was almost impossible to tell whether they were tall or short.
Women develop earlier, and their height is already set at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but men grow slowly. Di Yefei was not tall when he was young, and he looked like a woman, so it was easier to be mistaken. When he grew up, he did not grow very fast, which was always his regret.
Di Yefei was naturally very happy to see that he could grow longer. He glanced at the companions in the tent, and found that there were no people who killed ghosts. Say it again.
According to Huo Chang's temperament of protecting the short, if some people and the killer are still there, she will be promoted to general again, and she will definitely bring them to the account...
Not at this time, most likely already...
He Mulan just turned around and saw Di Yefei's expression of hesitating to speak, she felt sad in her heart, and her face also showed a state of grief.
"You're right, Killing Ghost is indeed gone."
She stared at Di Yefei with wide-eyed eyes, and continued: "Some people are fine. He has won the favor of a nobleman and has become a waiter."
Di Yefei was first in the first generation, and then when he heard that several people were all right, he was overjoyed again. He suddenly had mixed feelings, and it took a long time to say: "Kill the ghost... How did he die when he killed the ghost?"
Among the people, except for Na Luohun, who has the highest skill in killing ghosts, and he is cautious and not a rash person. If he said that he died in battle, Di Yefei would not believe it.
When it comes to killing ghosts, the tent was completely quiet, and the joy just now was all gone. He Mulan sighed and began to talk about killing ghosts one by one.
"...that's how it is..."
Di Yefei was speechless.
"We'll give Killing Ghost a clean slate!" Hu Lihun gritted his teeth, "Killing Ghost is not such a person at all! He still wants to take his family out to live in the future and let his grandmother take care of his grandson, how could he do this? thing!"
"The leather armor is also suspicious. But that's what we have to say after we return to the Northern Expedition." He Mulan felt uncomfortable, "We have finally reunited, so let's talk about something happy. Di Yefei, I heard you I met Helianding, what happened..."
"Is it Helianding? I only saw Helian's flag, but I don't know who it is..." Di Yefei was stunned, "Has that person been caught?"
"No."
He Mulan shook his head.
"It's a long story..."
The long night was long, and there was no intention to sleep. When a group of people with the same fire followed the example of the black camp, they slept together and talked about it. When they said that they woke up, they could not help but shout a few times, which attracted the guards guarding outside their tents to ask questions.
It was precisely because of the existence of these personal soldiers that Di Yefei realized that his fellow firemen had gone farther and farther, moving towards the road of "constructing meritorious deeds".
And although he has made a lot of credits, as far as today is concerned, he is still not as good as all of you.
For a time, Di Yefei was a little sad, a little impatient, and more of a feeling of powerlessness that he could not catch up with the same fire.
But he turned his head to look at He Mulan, who was listening to their laughter with a smile, but his heart suddenly calmed down.
Among the ten people, Mulan is the strongest in martial arts, the most outstanding in character, and has the calmness that is rare among her peers, so she is naturally the furthest among them.
But even so, he still turned around and pulled everyone.
Even though he was in Rouran, the fire chief did not forget him. Toluo Daman once said that the fire chief would stay on the western front because he voluntarily asked for his life. Because of this, the Hu Ben army still had some opinions on him. , relying entirely on Su Ri's prestige.
There is a person who never robs you of merit, nor sacrifices you;
To charge, he stands in front of you;
When retreating, he breaks for you;
When it comes time to discuss merits and deeds, you just need to stand by his side...
How can such a Hua Mulan not be respected as a family member
They will eventually move forward together and support each other, just like they were in the black camp.
Di Yefei gradually relaxed his mind in the voice of the crowd, and slowly fell asleep, even in his sleep, he still had a smile on his face.
He seems to have started from Montenegro, and he has never been in such a deep sleep. He just closed his eyes and immediately fell into a sweet dreamland.
A few people chatted for a while, and found that there was no sound beside them, and then turned to look, Di Yefei had already fallen asleep, and couldn't help but mute.
"Huo Chang, do you think Di Yefei is thinner than before he left?"
A'Dan Zhiqi looked at Di Yefei's face, shook his head and said, "It seems that Rouran's trip is not easy, he seems to be more mature than before."
"I also think he seems to have something on his mind, but it's hard to ask when we just met."
Hu Li scratched his head.
"Go to sleep, don't wake him up."
Na Luohun covered him with a quilt and ordered the guards outside the door to bring them some mattresses. The guards outside gave him a surprised look and left as ordered.
The bedding for sleeping was quickly brought, and everyone gathered around Di Yefei to sleep. In an instant, Di Yefei's smiling face turned into a frown again, as if in a dream, and there were those The troubles of grinding his teeth, snoring, and talking in his sleep came to entangle him, preventing him from smiling.
I have pity on the personal soldiers outside the tent. These generals neither told them to go nor to stay, so they had to be on duty all night, with dark circles under their eyes.
In the early morning of the next day, the troops patrolling the Hu Ben cavalry returned and immediately woke up the people in the tent. Man even jumped up and blurted out cursing:
"In your grandmother, I slept just fine, who is wriggling... eh?"
Laughing loudly, He Mulan casually tidied up her messy hair and asked for an account.
"General Hua, there are several crawling cavalry not far away, about a thousand in number, coming from the east and north, seeming to go straight to Jinshan!"
The patrolling cavalry looked at He Mulan curiously, thinking about the "sweet night" that everyone in the army said last night, he couldn't help but show a little bit on his face, and he even shrank his head towards the probe inside the tent. .
"One thousand people? Could it be that the general Rouran from yesterday has gathered his troops to return?" He Mulan was stunned for a while, "Didn't they retreat yesterday, and there are no enemy troops within fifty miles?"
"Yes! There was no enemy yesterday. These two troops seem to have come from elsewhere."
What's the situation
And the remnants
"General Qi Hua, there are a few more troops from the east, and the number is also around a thousand!"
Another scout came to report, looking very confused.
"It doesn't seem to be a commander-in-chief!"
He Mulan thought about it and couldn't think that this was the reinforcements that Er Mianxin had trapped. It happened that Luo Hun and others were there, so he summoned a few veteran generals of the Hu Ben Army. After a discussion, several lieutenants Each took five hundred people out to investigate, what was the situation.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the lieutenants to return to Jinshan's camp one by one. The Gaoche people originally thought that there was another tent to fight, and they were all gearing up for it. As a result, the Wei people returned to the camp, and they didn't seem to have fought at all. Everyone was surprised.
"General, it seems that the comers are cavalry from the surrounding tribes, but there are not many. As soon as they saw our flag, they ran away..."
Naro frowned.
"But looking at their momentum, it seems like reinforcements are coming to support. Could it be that yesterday the general summoned all the troops to fight again?"
He Mulan listened to everyone's guesses, and did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately ordered the Hu Ben army to prepare for battle, and went to visit several Gaoche patriarchs and borrowed people from them.
With Di Yefei's relationship and Tuoba Tao's decree brought by He Mulan, the Gaoche clan did not dare to neglect He Mulan and others, and immediately ordered the eight thousand sons of the clan to follow the Hu Ben army, in Jinshan. Outside the camp, a defensive position was prepared.
Lu Pi led the elite troops he led all the way to the southern foot of Jinshan Mountain, and met several cavalry teams on the way. He is the righteous king of Rouran, and there are many subjects of Lupi in the west. When they see the king's flag of Lupi, they naturally come up to pay their respects.
Lu Pi talked to them, only to know that Er Mianxin, who had already retreated, did not bother to report the news to them, and almost let them fall into the hands of the Wei people.
Lu Pi intended to gather these cavalry for his own use, so he brought the Rouran cavalry who had been frightened and panicked all the way to his tent, and headed towards the southern foot of Jinshan with a mighty force.
Here, He Mulan also thought that Er Mianxin had attacked again, so he put on the gluttonous battle armor and the purple-gold corsage. He took the knights of the Tiger Ben Army and the eight thousand cavalry of the high chariot to set up the battle. A young man from the Gaoche tribe who was good at archery hid behind the army and waited for the enemy to arrive, and all arrows would be fired.
Di Yefei also rearranged his armour, armed with a pair of halberds, and stood in front of the Gaoche clan formation, temporarily acting as a general in command. At this time, in terms of numbers, the Hu Ben army led by He Mulan was still under Di Yefei.
For a time, the horns were blaring, dust heads were rising in the distance, and the alternating and neat sound of the horses' hoofs running on the ground kept coming. He Mulan ordered the bow and arrows to prepare, but the enemy army stopped in the distance. down, not moving forward.
The two sides were evenly matched. He Mulan had the Gaoche clan as the backing. Under the tension, both sides were tense and could hardly hear any changes.
Only Di Yefei looked at the flag in the distance with anxiety and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Flying Bear…
How could it be a flying bear
Is it difficult
"Can you tell which enemy army is on the opposite side?" He Mulan asked Hulu Feihong next to him in a low voice. He is the eldest son of the head of the Hulu tribe, and is familiar with Rouran's situation.
Hulu Feihong also showed a strange expression: "It seems to be the army of King Youxian. But... but it shouldn't be King Youxian? He is not with Ah Qihuo..."
Is there a covenant
He Mulan finally calmed down a little when she heard that it was the team of Lu Pi, the righteous king. Lu Pi's mother, Princess Lelang, was being sent to Heishan City. Even if the other party refused to recognize the six relatives, it was impossible to attack the Wei army at this time. There must be some reason...
Sure enough, after a while, a cavalry rushed out from the opposing formation, the knight dropped his weapon nearby, and held the king's flag of King Youxian to the front of the formation of the two armies.
He Mulan ordered everyone not to hurt the messenger, and the messenger kept holding the flag to the ground in front of He Mulan, and then he immediately touched his chest and saluted, and asked in Xianbei words:
"His Royal Highness Yu Jiulu, the righteous king of Rouran, greets you. Is this place guarded by General Hu Ben?"
He Mulan nodded when she heard the words, and said loudly, "General Hu Ben Hua Mulan also said hello to the righteous king. Dare to ask your army to lead the army here, why?"
No one knew what Lu Pi was going to do. King Youxian was just an ally, but he was not like an ally like Gao Che who had simply surrendered, so He Mulan didn't dare to relax for a moment, and kept watching the other party's expression.
When the man heard He Mulan's words, he was stunned and asked again with a frown:
"What did you say? General Hu Ben Hua Mulan? Are you Hua Mulan?"
He glanced up and down at Mulan and shook his head sharply.
"How can you be Hua Mulan, our King Right Xian is just for..."
Rao is that no matter how Di Yefei expected things, he never thought that there would be such a day. He immediately covered his eyes and didn't dare to look again.
He Mulan was also confused by the second monk, squinting at the army opposite.
The man at the head was wearing a gorgeous armor and was tall. He didn't look like a Rouran person, but he looked a bit like those Han generals with extraordinary bearing in the army.
He Mulan continued to ask:
"you… "
At this moment, Di Yefei, who was a skilled equestrian, slipped off the horse for some unknown reason, causing a lot of cries.
"Aqihuo! Aqihuo? What happened to you
What the hell!
He Mulan was annoyed.
When the two armies confront each other, it is time to compete with each other...
This also makes it difficult for people to pretend to speak well
