"My legs are useless, but riding a horse is not a problem. As long as there are war horses, the war horses are my legs. I have armor and weapons, but there are dozens of miscellaneous hustle, I am afraid of what they will do!"
It has been seven or eight days, but Father Hua seems to be still indulging in that proud and happy atmosphere. If there is something to do, he will take out that paragraph and repeat it over and over again.
"In the past, I followed the old Khan and attacked Liu Song. I have seen this kind of thing used to resist the cavalry in the south. The front of the bamboo more than ten feet high is sharpened, and the three of them are lifted together and then flattened, and the cavalry rushes towards. Or the warhorse will be punched in a hole. The impact of the enemy's original purpose of killing the enemy will become our weapon..." Hua Fu stretched out his arms with great interest.
"Which one of us doesn't have a bamboo pole for drying clothes! As soon as I heard the township chief say that several other townships have entered Zahu, I immediately asked Mutuo to go from house to house to find someone to make bamboo spears."
Hua Mutuo was not at home at this time, Hua Mulan defeated Lu Shuihu's leader and forced him to leave Yucheng. The family has become a great hero in Yucheng, and many families want to invite them to a drink.
"The Age of Rebirth"
Hua's father's old cold legs fell ill in winter. After all, Hua Mulan was a woman. Not to mention He Mulan didn't want to go, even if she wanted to go, she had to see if Yuan Shi's little heart could hold up, so in order not to blow the family With the kindness of his brother Hua, he ate the wine from this family today, and that day, at his family's appointment, he ate "toasts" everywhere for his father and sister.
The posture of those days seemed to frighten Yuan Shi. Even if He Mulan returned home safely, she would not be able to recover from the mentality of worrying about gains and losses.
She has been following the Hua family's father, and even He Mulan, in order to appease the old mother's emotions, she has been wearing Xianbei women's dresses very obediently these days.
Apart from being a little older, without makeup, and her hair is loose, there is not much difference between her and Fang's dress.
"So, whether it's Xianbei, Han, Zahu or any other people, as long as someone comes to the house, they will work hard. They used to think that I was a useless old lame man. Now, why don't you just call me 'Captain Hua', and beg me to command..." Father Hua took a sip of the warm wine, which was brought to him by the winemaker who was best at brewing in the village.
As the only military family in Yingguo Township, it can be said that Huafu's life here is very aggrieved.
If it weren't for the fact that "the second daughter of the Hua family suddenly disappeared", Hua Hu would not have left her hometown and moved her family to the south to farm.
Huaishuo Town, where ten of them are all military households, is the most comfortable place for this veteran to stay. Even if his legs are dead, he and his comrades in the past can still learn about martial arts while riding a horse. When spring comes, it's okay to go out on horseback to hunt.
When he arrived in Liangjun, which was warmer, although it was good for his legs, he could neither go into the fields nor have any companions to learn from, let alone hunting.
A few years ago, his family came out with an amazing "Huaishuo Hua Mulan", which won countless good names in Huaishuo Town, but the Huai family in Liang County all knew what was going on, and they couldn't shake it. When he got up, he was even more apprehensive, fearing that one day the guilt of "bullying the king" would be suppressed and the whole family would be imprisoned.
After so many years of grievances, Hua's father suddenly became the "Uncle Hua" in the village. How can he be unhappy
With a smile on He Mulan's mouth, she watched Father Hua "thinking about the past" and silently warmed his already cold rice wine.
She believed that this "Uncle Hua" was also a typical Xianbei warrior when he was young. He was not afraid of death and moved forward bravely. Otherwise, he would not be able to raise a daughter with a unique personality and excellent riding and shooting skills like Hua Mulan.
It's just that heroes have to serve their old age, and Hua's father's legs are almost incurable in this era, and they can only dormant.
If he can shake now, let him shake.
"It's still the horse I used to be. After all, the military horse pulled out from the backyard has not gone through a big scene. When it was frightened by Lu Shuihu's whistle, it shook its head from side to side. This can't be done. I will call Hua Mutuo to scare me every day. To scare these horses, I can't let the horses that my family handed over to His Majesty are so useless..." Father Hua twisted his beard and continued to add:
"This is the military horse handed in by the 'General Hua' family."
He Mulan laughed after a puff.
It's hard for the Hua family's father to want to put a brand on the back of the horse's butt, "From the flower family, it must be a fine product"!
She is from modern times, and she can't understand the feelings of "I want to pay a lot of food" and "I want to give Your Majesty the most qualified war horse" even if the military households here are retired.
However, Father Hua's character was still very respectable, and He Mulan didn't think he would be long-winded when he said these words.
"Mulan, your armor is pretty good, as is your treasured bow. It's my grandfather, after all, I'm too old to draw a bow." He seemed to be still reminiscing about the touch of Hua Mulan's "lighting light armor", right? The excellent quality of that armor is full of praise. The bow strength of that good bow is also secretly speechless.
He gave Mulan the armor and bows and arrows back then, but Hua Mulan had been in the army for 12 years, and the bows and arrows had long been replaced, and the leather armor was also worn out. Hearing that Lu Shuihu had taken many villagers from the neighboring township as hostages, he had no choice but to use the armor and longbow that his daughter had kept in the big house.
Mulan's Baojia Divine Bow was naturally one of the reasons for being able to frighten the bunch of hustlers.
In this kind of countryside, I suddenly saw an old general, wearing a bright light armor that can blind people's eyes, and posing in the military posture. These Lu Shuihu came to arrest the villagers and threaten Wei Emperor, not to come here. Desperately, it's not a big problem to catch a few less, naturally, I will wait and watch for a while outside the stomping wall.
"Mingguang armor was given by His Majesty, and the bow was taken from the hand of General Rouran Tu Lihun. He was a general of Rouran, and the bow used was a famous weapon of Gaoche, so it was naturally a good bow. It was just that the bow was not very strong. My commander, General Xia, sent the weapon craftsman in the army to change the heavy string for me, so you can't pull it off." He Mulan thought for a while, and had a little impression of this armor and bow, so she put it The origins of one armor and one bow are told one by one.
"Good armor, good bow! Good general!" Father Hua praised three times and drank another glass of wine.
To be able not to take the spoils of war that his subordinates get, this general is obviously also a broad-minded person. My daughter has met a good boss, how can she not be ignorant
He Mulan smiled and didn't say that no one in the bow army could pull away, so it was logical to return to Hua Mulan.
The father of the Hua family is in high spirits, just let him be happy.
****.
A few days ago, the knights He Mulan brought Lu Shuihu back to report the news came quickly, stopped the Lu Shuihu people who wanted to enter the village, and told them to withdraw and go back to the broken temple to find Gai Wu.
He Mulan only had a quick chat with her father, and when she learned that the people in the village were all right, she immediately took the soldiers assigned to her by the county magistrate and went to other villages to inspect the situation.
Although the Lushuihu people are cruel and cunning, they are surprisingly very trustworthy. Gai Wu's great prestige may also be a reason. Wherever the little white flag went, the Lushuihu people left the team one after another, and the tied villagers were also left in place, and they were not treated terribly.
After He Mulan ran around the four townships of Yucheng, and then calmed down the frightened people in the townships and returned to the Qiuyuan Temple on the outskirts of Yucheng, it had been a night.
Running around day and night, even a strong body like Hua Mulan can't stand it. After all, she is already a woman in her thirties, not a young man.
When He Mulan returned to Qiuyuan Temple, the rescue soldiers brought in by the prefect of Liang County also arrived in Yucheng and were confronting the Lushui Hu people here. Behind Gai Wu was a group of cavalry returning from various townships, while the Northern Wei Dynasty had always had a system of three prefects and three governors. Each prefecture had one Han prefect and two Xianbei prefects, and each prefecture also had one Han prefect and two Xianbei prefects. The horses were in a mess, and the outside of the Qiuwan Temple was reflected in the noise and noise like a market meeting.
Youke and the soldiers of Naliang County are still personally guarding Gaiwu with the town soldiers. Outside Youke's house soldiers are Lu Shuihu's cavalry, and outside Lu Shuihu's cavalry came from the prefecture to "suppress the bandits". The soldier of the prefect, who was besieged by heavy troops, did not know what the mood of Gai Wu, who was injured in the rib, and the bright-tongued Bai Ma, were at the moment.
Cui Lin's face was seriously injured, and she was brought back to Yucheng Chengfu by the Cui family for treatment. Many curious people stayed and waited for the follow-up rangers to stretch their heads and shrink their heads. When they saw He Mulan with a dozen cavalry soldiers He galloped straight ahead, and there was a thunderous cheer:
"Flower General! Flower Hero!"
It was already dawn at this time, and there were torches in the sergeants' formations on all sides. When they heard that, it was Hua Mulan who had returned from inspecting the retreat of the Lu Shuihu people in the village. Suddenly, the flames lit up, and the voice moved.
I saw more than a dozen horses coming towards the ruined temple, and the outermost local defense troops moved to the left and right, and a horse rode in alone. Many of Hua Mulan's subordinates joined the local army for defense after the disarmament. Among them, there was her old subordinate. When they saw the original commander, they all got off their horses and shouted "General Hua" to present to her.
He Mulan's heart was sour, she nodded and entered the circle, and said to the innermost You Ke and Liang Jun soldier Cao in a hoarse voice: "The Lushui Hu people have retreated, except for a dozen villagers who suffered a little when they resisted. The flesh was wounded, and no one died. The siege of Yucheng has been resolved."
She hadn't slept all day and night, and she was running around everywhere. She had to appease the crowd and yell at Lu Shui Hu people. Her voice was hoarse at first, and this tiredness made her hoarse voice even worse.
"It really hurts you to disturb General Hua when you go to the countryside."
"It's okay, thanks to you for calling me here, otherwise I'd still be in a hurry in the countryside, I don't know what's going on outside." He Mulan jumped off the horse and touched the mount, which was already exhausted.
"Since Gai Wu has kept his word, the magistrate You must not forget his promise."
Although so many people were disturbed, Cui Lin was not a court official after all. These defense troops came to prevent the Lushui Hu people from causing chaos, not to save Cui Lin. At this time, the siege of this place has been resolved, and since the local county magistrate is willing to risk the trouble to let go of these Lushui Hu people, the defense forces here will not be desperate.
With the prestige of Hua Mulan and the popularity of the county magistrate, the Lushui Hu people protected the leader Gai Wu, who had a rib injury, and was escorted by the Wei army to the outside of Liang County.
The sun was rising, and the spear and blade of the Wei army shone brightly. Thousands of iron hooves were trampled on the ground, which really shook the mountain.
But no matter what, no one died.
Gai Wu made such an oath, and there will be no more turmoil... Right.
That's great.
He Mulan looked at the rising sun and squinted.
