He Mulan's tent was not lively for a long time, because Wei Jun's army was on the move again.
Monan has been decided, what needs to be solved now is Mobei Gaoche and Mobei Rouran people in the north of Rouran. It is summer now, nomads are grazing in all directions, but the Wei people are attacked by a large army no matter where they come and go, and they can win a big victory. It was a natural thing. Tuoba Tao wanted to end the war before the fall, so he led the army to continue northward.
Those left in the rear camp now are either wounded soldiers or prisoners, or defenders. The original coach of the Hu Ben Army was injured and could not continue to follow Master Wang to battle, but He Mulan couldn't bear to stop their future, so he asked Tuoba Tao for a favor, and let this Hu Ben Army go directly to Tuoba Tao's control, together. Going to the North Expedition.
Several people followed Gu Bi, Di Yefei followed Gao Cheren, and even Na Luohun and others followed Hu Benjun to earn a future, leaving behind the seriously injured He Mulan and A Shan Zhiqi. People, recuperate in the rear camp.
Overnight, the noisy tent seemed to be quiet, and even He Mulan couldn't bear to be so lonely, and slowly sat up after taking a sip of water.
"How many people are left in the camp now?"
"I haven't gone out to see it." Peanut shook his head. "It's more important for the general to recuperate."
"I always feel that my heart is beating so fast."
He Mulan covered her heart.
"I don't know what's going to happen."
"Before Mr. Kou left, I told you not to think too much, but to rest." Helian Mingzhu had just entered the tent, and when she heard He Mulan's words, she couldn't help but persuade her. "Do you feel a little sad when you see your comrades have left?"
Although Helian Mingzhu is a woman, she also grew up by her brother's side. She knows that some men have a strong sense of responsibility. Once they see that others are working hard, but they can't do anything, they will suddenly rise to a new level. Powerlessness.
But He Mulan was not such a person. She was not a belligerent by nature. She would always ask how many people were in the camp. It was indeed because she was uneasy, and she always felt like something big was going to happen.
But now that the big picture is set, what else can happen
But it's just that you are worrying about the world, right
Kou Qianzhi followed the army. He was very good at forecasting the weather and extremely skilled in medicine. Tuoba Tao was reluctant to give up a talent like him and began to really use him.
Cui Hao needed to settle the Gaoche tribesmen who had surrendered. This king tent was a camp left by the Rouran people. One day, Cui Hao went to the Rabbit Garden Water Camp to receive Gaoche people from all sides, and by the way, he mobilized the ministers in the rear to send the spoils of this campaign back to Wei.
Rouran is poor, but there is no shortage of cattle, sheep and horses. Rouran people move frequently, and it is not easy to carry property. They like to exchange valuable things for gold, and carry them around as accessories, so that all their property will not be lost on themselves. Therefore, some nobles and tribe masters can still loot a lot of things.
Su He-jun has been here a few times and told He Mulan a number. So far, there have been 200,000 Rouran people who have surrendered and captured, and there are about the same population in Mobei. More than 10,000 people, once these things pour into the customs, the cattle and sheep in the customs will be very cheap, and the war aluminum obtained can only be equipped with 100,000 cavalry.
This way of handling made He Mulan greatly admired. In the Hu regime thousands of years ago, there were people who already understood the horror of "inflation" and tried their best to keep the prices in the customs from collapsing and the property of the people in the customs. Serious shrinkage, isn't this an advanced
But He Mulan recalled the prices before and after Hua Mulan's expedition, and couldn't help but feel regretful.
The Northern Wei Dynasty had no money, and they all bartered goods. Even if the imperial court did not drive all the cattle, sheep and horses into the customs trade, the cattle, sheep and horses rewarded by the emperor and the spoils of war captured by the soldiers were all their own, and they had to be exchanged once the war was over. Even if this part is poured into the country, it is enough to disrupt the domestic cattle, sheep and horse market.
Before Mulan's expedition, the Hua family could not eat several meals of meat a month, but five years later, mutton has become cheap enough to eat once a few days. Military households don't have to worry about the lack of war horses. Buy war horses domesticated by the military at a very cheap price.
Like the war horses raised by Hua Xiaodi at home, they are war horses that the military government sends to military households to raise them on their behalf, and the military government subsidizes them every month. When the time comes, the military government will bring the horse back.
The Wei Kingdom continued to fight and still had surplus money, which was inseparable from the large amount of materials obtained by Rouran in the Northern Expedition at this time. You must know that after the Five Husbands and Chaos China, the population was less than one-fifth of that in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The speed of land reclamation and production in the north was far less than that of Liu Song in the south. These cattle and sheep were enough to support the Wei state for a long time.
As for those Rouran people who lost their cattle, sheep and horses
Since Tuoba Tao left the lives of those nobles and tribal masters, he naturally wouldn't want to kill them, but the Rouran people had a hard time in the past, and I'm afraid it will be even harder in the future.
"Master, do you want to go to the toilet?"
Peanut whispered in He Mulan's ear.
He Mulan nodded, Peanut handed him a wide-caliber clay pot, and then pulled Helian Mingzhu out of the tent. After a while, Peanut walked in, took the pot and put it in a corner of the tent.
It's only been seven or eight days now, and He Mulan can already sit up. It has to be said that her resilience is really amazing.
But some things are still impossible to do on the ground, such as going to the toilet, such as eating.
Now He Mulan felt that she was already spoiled. She ate, drank and slept on the mattress, which was even more pitiful than a woman confinement. If it weren't for Peanuts coming later, she didn't know how long she would be embarrassed.
Peanut has never seen what a woman looks like when she takes off her clothes. He Mulan was seen by Peanut when she was taking a bath. At this time, she couldn't be embarrassed anymore. Helian Mingzhu showed that she didn't want to take care of her excretion. on the peanut head.
Helian Mingzhu took He Mulan's food and drink, and brushed her hair.
As for the cleaning of the lower body/body, since He Mulan's right hand could be moved on the fourth day, she basically did it by herself.
The biggest crisis in her life finally came to pass without any danger.
It is now June, and the lunar month is surprisingly hot. Even in the Mongolian grasslands of the north, the tent is hot and stuffy at noon. I can't wait to have a good time.
The Great Camp of Montenegro was built behind the head of Montenegro. It is a ventilated place. There are strong winds blowing in summer, and it is very cool.
She has dozens of slaves, but she only brings peanuts with the best riding skills, so there are no fans.
When the sky was too stuffy, Peanut could only open all the curtains, then fan her, and Helian Mingzhu wiped her with cold water to cure the symptoms but not the root cause.
He Mulan was only wearing summer clothes now, with the sleeves rolled up to her shoulders. When it was too hot, she would even ask Peanut to roll up her trousers, exposing her two calves.

Now He Mulan finally understands why Hua Mulan's limbs are black and her trunk is white. She probably had to roll up her sleeves and trousers while training in the army, and only covered her body, so she turned into a panda.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and it was the hottest time of the day. He Mulan was too hot, so he asked Peanut to bring him a basin of cold water to wipe.
Helian Mingzhu had already gone to prepare lunch. Peanut couldn't help but hesitate a little when he thought that there was no one in He Mulan's tent.
"Otherwise, I'll go when Zhao Ming comes?" Peanut bent down slightly, "There's no one in the tent, and if the master wants water or convenience, no one will be there to serve him."
Which family leader does not have a group of personal soldiers and countless military slaves? There is only their general, and he is the only one who serves him personally. One of the personal soldiers is injured and still in the Difuchi camp, but the other is better, and was sent by the general to go with the army to earn military merit!
"It's okay, go ahead, aren't there guards guarding outside the tent? It's really impossible, I'll call them in."
He Mulan never thought that he would be reduced to a disabled person, so he waved his hand to let him go first.
Peanut never disobeyed He Mulan's orders. Seeing that she was really hot and uncomfortable, she went out reluctantly.
Not long after Peanut went out, something happened outside.
The noisy screams of killing suddenly came from a distance. He Mulan's five senses were so sharp, and the killing sound immediately screamed:
"The guards outside the account sent someone to see what happened!"
"Yes!"
Several guards outside the door responded, and immediately sent one person to inquire.
At this time, He Mulan's unease became heavier and heavier, almost to the point of fidgeting.
Unfortunately, her waist was still injured. After the arrow on her knee was drawn, her left leg could hardly bend or extend freely. Even with Kou Qianzhi's elixir, she had to rest for more than a month before she could walk on the ground.
If you want to recover as before, it depends on how well you are recuperating.
Just when she was in shock, the noisy sound became louder and louder, and the sound of weapons colliding and cursing became more and more clearly audible. It was obvious that those who made the noise had approached here.
This time, He Mulan was completely unable to feel at ease. She pulled out a dagger from under the pillow and put it in her hand, frowned and asked again:
"Has the inquirer come back? What happened?"
She vaguely heard words like "reverse" and "fleeing".
"General Huihua, the people who went out to inquire have not returned!"
"so long?"
"I don't know what happened to the last commander, but the camp is heavily guarded, so there should be no major incident."
These soldiers were obviously very confident in Wei Jun's strength, and when they heard He Mulan's worried inquiries, they even smiled and comforted her.
It's a pity that before the man's voice was finished, He Mulan heard a loud shout from a soldier outside the tent: "Who are you! Hurry up and leave!"
"What happened?"
He Mulan grabbed the dagger and forced herself to calm down and listen to the movement outside.
After a long fight and several screams, a group of people rushed into Da Tan's tent.
At this time, He Mulan knew that the other party was an enemy, not a friend. The soldiers outside should have all been poisoned, and she was in such a situation. .
His eyes narrowed a little bit, watching them.
Who is this? So badly injured and still not dead
A scrawny man saw that He Mulan was wounded and lying down in a tiger's skin to recover, and couldn't help showing an excited expression of "surely someone is there".
As soon as they opened their mouths, cold sweat broke out from He Mulan's back.
It's actually soft words!
This is the big tent left by the Rouran people, and many chiefs and prisoners of the Rouran people are imprisoned here. Originally, these prisoners were taken care of by King Youxian and the army of Montenegro, but King Youxian and most of Montenegro followed After Tuoba Tao left the camp, the management became looser.
One of these detainees was a powerful man who not only escaped himself, but also released all the detainees in the entire camp. These people were free in Chad and fled in all directions. These dozens of people were brothers of the same tribe. Friends, we left together when we ran away.
When they saw that all those who fled were captured by the Xianbei people, they simply gritted their teeth and walked in. Sure enough, after carefully bypassing some guards, they touched the vicinity of the king's tent without any risk.
After Da Tan was beheaded, the king's tent should be empty, because they all knew that the Great Khan of Xianbei must live in his large leather tent. They wanted to hide in the king's tent, but they met soldiers walking out halfway. After killing them, they rushed to the king's tent, but found that there were many guards outside the king's tent.
At this time, they already knew that they guessed wrong, but unfortunately their whereabouts have been exposed, so they simply did not do anything and fought them directly.
They were many, and although they had no weapons, they succeeded in killing the Xianbei guards after sacrificing five or six people. It is reasonable to say that with such a big movement, the people in the tent should run out to take a look, but they found that there was no sound in the tent.
Not a soft-footed shrimp, but a deaf man!
With such contempt, they entered the king's tent, but they didn't see the soft-footed shrimp or the deaf man, but found that there was only a seriously wounded man waiting to die in the king's tent. They came in without opening their eyes.
It is normal for seriously injured people to be unconscious. Seeing that there is no danger, these people immediately relax.
They still wanted to keep this "big man" as a hostage, and they didn't want to kill him for a while. They only took a closer look and then took a few steps back to discuss.
When they approached, He Mulan was so nervous that he almost killed people. He could only settle down by biting his tongue. Fortunately, they didn't do anything. Rouran was humiliated.
If the dignified tiger general Hua Mulan was coerced by a group of Rouran defeated soldiers, it would be a shame!
The Rouran people assigned some people to carry in the dead Xianbei people's corpses, as if nothing had happened, while the other Rouran people seemed to be completely relieved, or sat down to rest, or began to whisper , Obviously the nerves that have been tense have finally been relieved, and it will not make people crazy.
These people have probably been imprisoned for a long time, and each of them has the light of fierce hatred in their eyes.
Most of the people detained in this camp were young herders and elite knights brought out by Da Tan, but these people were obviously not elite knights, but rather like refugees.
When He Mulan broke into the big sandalwood tent, he used the status of an emissary's bodyguard. At that time, everyone noticed that he was dressed gorgeously and plainly, and naturally he had no impression of the ordinary He Mulan and others.
When He Mulan slaughtered the Quartet, except for the elite warriors beside the king's tent, the rest of the Rouran people were preparing to retreat to the west, and naturally they had never seen He Mulan's appearance.
In addition, the night was dark, and it was too chaotic at the time. Except for the prince who hated He Mulan deeply, and Liu Yuanjing, who had never forgotten it, few people could recognize He Mulan's face.
No matter who he is, if he can live in King Khan's tent, he must be a high-ranking official of the Xianbei people! Anyway, if we escape, we will die sooner or later, so we might as well blackmail him and we might be able to escape!
The man said so, but his eyes were fixed on the gruel that He Mulan had eaten in the morning. He rushed to the side of the table and picked up the wooden bowl. He drank it cleanly, and even licked the bottom of the wooden bowl.
'I heard the sound of drinking porridge. They looked like they were starving. They must be very weak. When I numb them, they may be surprised...'
He Mulan stuffed the dagger at hand into the mattress, being careful not to let them see it.
Poor He Mulan couldn't understand Rouran's words. After fighting on the battlefield for a long time, she only knew some words such as "kill" and "death" in Rouran's words. When she heard a few Rouran people around her mention it many times With the word "death", I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. I don't know what regulations these people discussed.
But she didn't dare to stimulate them, so she could only close her eyes tightly and continue to pretend to be asleep.
Fortunately, He Mulan's current appearance looked too miserable. The wounds on the rolled up sleeves and trouser legs made the enemy feel relieved.
Listening to the number of people, there are probably dozens of these people. Even when He Mulan was well injured, one person would have to work hard for dozens of people, not to mention that he is now a zongzi!
She could only secretly pray that Peanut and Helian Mingzhu would come back later, not to get caught in it.
If it's a high official, how could we not have many guards along the way? Seeing that he was injured like this, we didn't even know that we came in. It must be not far from death, so there was no one to guard. We can't go far with such a person, but it's a burden...
The older one in the group of Rouran refuted his companion's opinion with a hoarse voice, and then looked at his companion who drank the cold porridge, and couldn't help swallowing.
We hide here and find something to eat and drink. If this person is of high status, there will definitely be someone with high status to visit, even if it is just a guard next to a dignitary, it is better for us to go out than to be caught by the Xianbei people. .
These dozens of Rouran people obviously escaped like headless flies. Finally, someone gave an opinion, and others agreed.
Soso to see what can fill the stomach!
These Xianbei people don't even give us a few sips of water, I'm dying of thirst! Find water first!
They rummaged through the king's tent, first found a handful of herbs, chewed it a few times in their mouths, and immediately spit it out.
Pooh! What is so spicy!
Another sharp-eyed saw the water jug placed in the corner of the tent, and immediately called out.
There is indeed water!
He picked it up and shook it, and found that there was still a lot of water in it. He immediately raised the water jug excitedly and swallowed a few mouthfuls.
You are so bad boy! We've never had water!
Leave us a little!
You don't want to live anymore, how dare you swallow it all by yourself!
The eyes of a group of Rouran prisoners were red with anger, and hurriedly rushed towards the man who raised his head to drink from the sea, but when they saw that he had just drank water into his belly, they showed a strange look, not only threw the wide-mouthed big can on the ground , and spouted a mouthful of water!
A few Rouran people who came up to grab the water were unprepared for a while, and they were sprayed all over their faces by this big saliva. They were not only angry, but they even had the heart to kill!
Even if you eat it all by yourself, you don’t even give us a drink if you don’t drink it yourself!
You... Huh? What weird smell
The poor man who "swallowed" the water alone could not hear what they were saying. He crouched down on the tent and began to vomit loudly.
"Whoops... who gets the water cans... Whoops..."
Pretend this shit!
