He Mulan contacted the Hu Ben Army, and the entire Hu Ben Army's mental outlook also changed. Not only did the remaining Hu Ben army resume their previous drills, but the flag of the "Wei" country in the camp was also erected.
This business road is an important road, and all the caravans that come and go pass through the oasis. Soon, there are people from the Wei country stationed in the oasis here, and the news that the Wei country embassy has not been wiped out has also spread.
Some people even more convincingly stated that they saw the general of Wei State and the Prince of Beiliang discussing matters together, and it seemed that the Prince of Beiliang had also been rescued.
Feng Heng's urgent letter immediately set off from Qinhan City, and went to the surrounding prefectures and counties and Pingcheng for help, hoping that a large army would be stationed nearby to protect He Mulan's army and retrieve Princess Xingping's dowry. It is troublesome to deliver the news of desert blockade, but at most seven or eight days, the army near Qinhan City will set off.
Although the Hu Ben Army suffered heavy casualties, they were after all an army stationed in Montenegro for ten years. During the ten years of fighting against the Rouran people, they were used to seeing all kinds of life and death. Although they were sentimental at the time, once they regained their strength, they were still the same. A mighty hero.
The only remaining politicians in the camp began to drag their crippled bodies, thinking that they would use this matter to obtain the greatest benefit for Wei. Will help Wei Guo to pave all the way.
"Now the general has to write a few letters to inform all the prefectures and counties along the way of Beiliang. Our embassy happened because of the ambush of the queen of Beiliang and horse thieves. There are Lao Sangtou, Yanzi and Queen Meng as witnesses. The Queen led a team to ambush the horse thieves and silence them. These things cannot be covered up. We must put pressure on Bei Liang and let them come out to quell the matter!"
An envoy expressed his opinion with spittle stars: "Let the King of Beiliang send troops to escort us back to Pingcheng! Let the King of Beiliang send troops to dig a dowry for us! Let the King of Beiliang find us the missing princess!"
"Juqu Bodhi must have been hidden for Queen Meng. At present, the prince is more important to us than the queen. Although we can force the false to be true, no matter what we say, it is better to have the true..." The other envoy scratched his head in annoyance.
"How can I get Queen Meng to let go? You can't use punishment."
"General Hua, this matter is left to you!"
Liu Zhen looked at He Mulan with an ambiguous expression.
"I?"
He Mulan was dumbfounded.
"I haven't learned how to force a confession."
"Queen Meng has a very good impression of you, and only in front of you can you have a good color. Besides, Queen Meng has been taking care of General Hua herself when she goes to the toilet, gets up and sleeps these few days, and wants to come..."
Liu Zhen's smile became more and more wretched.
"Queen Meng is more than fifty years old, but she is well maintained and has a strong temperament. We have all heard about General Hua leading girls from different families to fight in Pingcheng..."
The meaning in the words is that He Mulan's charm ranges from a 60-year-old lady to a 6-year-old little girl, all of them can be killed, maybe there is a miraculous meaning.
He Mulan's whole person is not well.
Queen Meng was a woman. As a prisoner, she should have been given preferential treatment because of her status and gender. However, because of her high martial arts skills and the depth of the city, He Mulan was very worried that other people would guard her, so she personally guarded her most of the time. Queen Meng.
The men of the Hu Ben army were all men. Queen Meng had to eat, drink, pull and scatter, and it was impossible for him to be tied all the time. He Mulan had to pay more attention. It was the same as when she cared more about Princess Xingping before. She was a man after all. , Your Majesty also knows that if it is rumored that someone else has an affair with the princess or the queen, it will be hard to tell, but she will have some rumors at most.
She couldn't tell others about her thoughts, so she was good to Princess Xingping before, and now she was good to Queen Meng, and some erotic rumors inevitably spread.
In this era, the ability of men is often linked to reproductive/reproduction/ability, and the ability to pick up girls. It is obviously a matter of no shadow. In order to brag about the charisma, strong means, and good physical strength of their masters, coupled with the boring days of marching, they often can In the quilt, there are many pornographic stories that are painful to listen to.
Many of them just listen to it as a joke. In the past, Chen Jie and Man Gu used to join in the fun. Ever since they found out that He Mulan was a woman, they would beat up when they heard such a dirty story. There are fewer stories.
But now the Hu Ben army has suffered a great blow, but they can't take revenge on Beiliang right away. With resentment and anger in their hearts, they can only greet women in other countries and take advantage of words.
Not only the Hu Ben army, but even the embassy had this tendency. Queen Meng's character was also demoted to the lowest level, and He Mulan even heard someone call her "poisonous woman" and "demon woman" in private.
He Mulan took care of Queen Meng a little bit, and even guarded it himself, because he was afraid that in the middle of the night, if anyone in the Hu Ben army died of his brother, he would sneak into the tent where Queen Meng was imprisoned in the middle of the night, and slaughtered her directly. .
However, Liu Zhen thought that Queen Meng's difference between He Mulan and others was a big breakthrough, so she hoped that He Mulan would "sacrifice" one or two for the overall situation, to please Queen Meng and let her speak.
He Mulan was too lazy to negotiate with Queen Meng, she just wanted to get her dowry and go back to Pingcheng to prepare for the Western Expedition...
"General Hua, Queen Meng wants to see you."
A soldier communicated outside the tent.
Everyone in the tent showed an expression of "you have to cheer up", watching He Mulan fled with his tail between his tails, and ran away in despair.
"You said, how long can this hold Queen Meng at the most?" Liu Zhen waited for He Mulan to go out, sighed and looked at Yuan Fang, "Beiliang can't just sit back and ignore it, as soon as the news that Queen Meng is here comes out, In three or five days at most, the army of Bei Liang will arrive."
"Now, let's see how fast Pingcheng is coming. We have been delayed here for nearly a month, and Pingcheng should have received the letter. According to that His Majesty's temper, there must be some deployment. There is already a transfer, and it is not necessarily necessary to go on an expedition..."
Yuan Fang did not doubt this.
"We must stay here to attract Bei Liang's attention, otherwise Bei Liang will respond once the troops of the middle school are mobilized."
"Why don't you tell General Hua directly?" Luo Hun really couldn't understand. If they didn't explain it like this, the coach wouldn't know that he had grievances
"General Hua definitely wants to bring the Hu Ben army back to China now, or fight against Beiliang in a dignified manner, but for us, the evidence is still a little lacking, and there are too many variables for Bodhi's son to be fake. If we don't completely turn to us and take advantage of this opportunity before, otherwise once Bei Liang changes to another princess who is close to him and sends troops to escort the prince, we will lose this opportunity."
Several envoys looked sad.
"It's not that we have to hide from General Hua, but we are worried that General Hua wants to avenge the Hu Ben army too much..."
Since it is a false and conceited snake, there will naturally be endless lies and bluffs. Maybe Queen Meng will be put back in exchange for something, maybe the fake prince will become the real prince from now on, and it is possible that the lives of thousands of Tiger Ben army will be lost in the hands of the powerful ministers in Pingcheng. Maximize the final contribution...
Next, it's time for a power struggle, which is not General Huwei's strength.
"Let's wait for the meaning of the capital first." Yuan Fang appeased Na Luohun, "We are all just courtiers, how we act in the end depends on His Majesty's will. Maybe His Majesty will be angry and send a large army to raze Beiliang. ?"
"That couldn't be better!"
Naro said angrily.
***
Queen Meng has been waiting, waiting for Mulan to ask something from her.
She expected Hua Mulan to treat her so politely and to take care of her personally. Apart from worrying about her escape or safety, she must have other plans.
However, two days later, no matter how obedient she behaved, Hua Mulan did not show any strangeness.
He treated her like an elder in a friend's house. Although he was polite, he didn't communicate much at all, which made her full of plans and plans as if they had touched the air.
According to Juqu Mengxun's speed, knowing that she was attacked, it is impossible that she has not acted until now, and the biggest possibility is that something has changed in Gu Zang.
This change was so great that Gu Zang could no longer take into account her safety.
Thinking of the heart-to-heart remarks I had with Juqu Muqian before...
Queen Meng leaned back, feeling as if she had dug a hole and buried herself.
And twice.
"You have something to do with me?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Queen Meng was thinking about He Mulan. He Mulan had already stepped into the house and looked at Queen Meng with a puzzled face.
Due to He Mulan's request, neither the guards in the tent nor the guards outside the tent were allowed to talk to Queen Meng, nor were they allowed to meet any of her demands. There were only two blankets in the entire tent, and she even committed suicide. No, any request must be communicated to He Mulan.
This also caused He Mulan to come more often.
"What are you going to do with me?" Queen Meng couldn't bear it anymore, and her previous guesses made her even more upset, "Are you going to ask Beiliang for ransom, or just escort me to Pingcheng? If you want to insult me , I will never steal my life!"
"Queen Meng, you have to make it clear that you designed us first. Thousands of Hu Ben's army died, and Wei's and Beiliang's embassies are almost absent..." He Mulan said coldly, "If our country When you start a war with Beiliang, there will be a river of blood on this road, Queen Meng, you are the sinner of Beiliang, don't say it as if we are persecuting you!"
"I didn't know that General Hua was so articulate."
Queen Meng smiled, "but now your country is at war with Beiyan, and I heard that the war has reached a stalemate. It is impossible for your country's ministers to allow a two-front war. This matter is my own plan, and Beiliang will take the most. I hand it over and get rid of it, the worst thing is that the prince of Bodhi is deposed, but I think that your country has spent so much effort, shouldn’t you just want to bring a deposed prince back to the country, right?”
"Why are you talking to me so much?" He Mulan didn't need to use "you" anymore, and looked at Queen Meng with a wary heart, "What are your plans, tell me generously, I'm a rude person, listen to me. I don't understand your rambling words!"
Queen Meng paused, as if she did not expect He Mulan to be so calm, she heard the words with a straight face, and said directly: "I can admit that the fake son you caught is Bodhi, if I guess correctly, you should take that fake Seriously use it. I can also go back to Pingcheng with you and let you convict me, but it's just the horse thief, I hope it will end with the horse thief, and don't involve the Meng family..."
"Those horse thieves are really pitiful. You will throw them away when you use them up."
He Mulan sneered.
"That's not what I meant. Although you may not believe it, I have never arranged for Old Sangtou to deceive you into the Windy City to suffer from the sandstorm. The news I got is that they will send people to the sandy area designed in distress. Punch a hole in it, steal Bodhi out, and contact me."
Queen Meng had a cold face, "I don't want my son to go to Pingcheng as a hostage, so I'm going to take him away. Since we're escaping, of course, the smaller the movement, the better. Why do we have to cause so much trouble?"
"But things have gotten to this point now."
He Mulan shook his head, "From the moment you planned, you broke the covenant between us, and I won't believe any of your words. Prince Juqu Bodhi should be free now, then, I wish him the best of luck. Good luck, in the next time, don't be found by the people of our country... "
She said something that made Queen Meng even more alarmed: "As for the thing that you said that the minister would not allow our country to go to war at will, then you don't know our great khan. Sometimes the great khan does things first and then plays..."
She smiled maliciously and grinned at Queen Meng: "Do you think Juqu Bodhi can escape? Once Beiliang is destroyed, it is impossible for our country to allow an exiled prince in a foreign country, no matter whether it is to other countries. No matter whether you put pressure on him or send someone to hunt him down, Juqu Bodhi will spend the rest of his life fleeing and hiding his name in a hurry, and there will be no more peaceful days."
"you!"
Queen Meng clutched the wound on her throat, she was about to roar and then suppressed her emotions, she tried her best to calmly said: "Now the war is not worth the loss, obviously there are ready-made horse thieves as scapegoats, which is good for both countries, and I can also assist Wei Guo to plan Beiliang, Why should you choose the path with the greatest loss?"
She was right, as long as the kidnapping of the prince and cheating into the Windy City were all framed to those horse thieves, the matter could be resolved peacefully. Queen Meng's capture could be said to be a misunderstanding when the bandits were suppressed.
yyxs.la
Beiliang sent another princess to marry her. In order to make up for the loss of Wei State, the dowry will only be more this time, and she may even lose the strength of the whole country.
After Queen Meng returned to China, her status remained unchanged, and she was able to help Wei Guo to counteract, act as an internal response, and even launch an armed coup when necessary.
However, the premise is…
"Where is Juqu Bodhi?"
He Mulan remembered what Liu Zhen had just said, and lowered her voice to ask him.
Queen Meng was silent, and after a while, she answered: "I will not hand over my son. Since you have a fake son, it is the same with him..."
"Do you think we are fools?"
He Mulan was too lazy to talk to her anymore. Queen Meng was a military general on the surface, but she was actually a politician at heart. No wonder she could endure it for so many years.
If it was her, she would kill the king and run away the moment Juqu Mengxun started to become scum, how could she endure it!
"We used to have a covenant, but it was torn apart by you. Now you are unwilling to accept the lesson and make up for the mistakes you made, but you just want to use the transaction to smooth out what you have done and keep the Meng family and your own. Status…”
He Mulan closed her eyes, and what appeared in front of her eyes were the naked tiger armies on the hill.
"My answer is, no!"
He Mulan looked at Queen Meng with a gray face, and forcefully forced out a sentence from her teeth: "I don't care what you are going to do at all, I must avenge the revenge of the Hu Ben army. A gentleman's revenge, ten It's not too late, but I don't have that spare time..."
"I'm just fighting for the day!"
***
No one knew what He Mulan and Queen Meng were talking about that day, only that the soldiers of the Hu Ben army guarding Queen Meng were excited as if they had been beaten by chicken blood since then. There were no less than 100 guards by Queen Meng's side, and the camp was almost full, and her guards were even tighter.
Lao Sangtou was also locked up by the Hu Ben army, forcing him to explain everything and record his confession, so as to clear the suspicion of Lu Shui Hu.
The old man had a bit of conscience. He wanted to be tough, but knowing that the Lushui Hu people were likely to be deprived of his land because of his deprivation, he would be regarded as a miscellaneous and inferior people, so he finally told the arrangement at that time.
Most of the Meng family did not know that Queen Meng was going to run with Juqu Bodhi. They only thought that it was to give Wei one less bargaining chip to control Beiliang. Therefore, they did their best to plan this matter, even taking into account the weakening of the Huben army. strength.
He disclosed the matter of Fengcheng, and he suggested the Meng family to do so, but everyone thought that the wind in Fengcheng would cause a little trouble for the Hu Ben army at most, or lose some baggage, causing such a large-scale casualty, no one could Did not expect.
If it weren't for such a big wind and sand, the Meng family would not be in a hurry to cover up the truth. If Bodhi was just stolen, it would not shake the Meng family's army at all, and maybe it would be secretly rewarded by the Beiliang royal family.
Everything is an accident, but the drastic changes brought about by the accident are too unacceptable.
Knowing that they were really unlucky to encounter a natural disaster, the members of the Northern Wei embassy hated and grieved, and Princess Xingping and Bodhi still didn't know whether they were alive or dead. Oasis, while guarding the Windy City, transported the treasure back with camels like ants moving house, and kept urging Qinhan City to send troops to respond and leave the desert as soon as possible.
On the eighth day after capturing Queen Meng, the messenger of Beiliang arrived at the oasis and conveyed the will of the king of Beiliang.
However, the King of Northern Liang was no longer Juqu Mengxun.
The day after Queen Meng left Guzang, Juqu Mengxun personally led a large army to pursue her. Because of her old age and frailty, her body was overwhelmed by the heavy burden of the hasty march, and she finally died in the middle of the journey.
Juqu Mujian went to Fuling on the order of the clan, because the son of Juqu Bodhi disappeared in the wind and sand, and the country supported Juqu Mujian to ascend to the throne on the grounds that "a country cannot be without a king for a day".
In other words, now Queen Meng is worthless, she has become "Queen Meng".
After so many days, it was enough to turn Bei Liang's sky upside down, and Juqu Mujian's move of "drawing wages from the bottom of the pot" directly took Wei Guo's army.
