When he just came back from Beiliang, no one from He Mulan's mansion came to visit, because they were watching the attitudes of all parties. After Rouran went south, the eldest grandson Daosheng named He Mulan as the forward general, but Tuoba Huang tried his best. After the opposition, the various forces that had been watching from various sides actually let go.
I don't know if it was sympathy or something else. Anyway, He Mulan herself didn't know why she couldn't go out, but she became popular. There was chaos outside, but there was still an endless stream of visitors from the Hua family.
"Mulan, do you think we should avoid it as well?" Yuan Shi is the least timid. Her parents' family was destroyed during the First World War in Yunzhong, and so was the cousin of Hua's family, so when she heard that the Rouran people came, it could be said Can't sleep at night.
"Many people in the city have avoided the south and west. I heard that there are no cars in the horse-drawn dealership now. Many people rent horse-drawn carriages for others at five times the price before..."
"Don't make trouble. Although the big khan is not here, the little prince didn't run away. As a Xianbei military household, even if the crawlies are really defeated, I will definitely fight the crawlies to the end!"
Father Hua suddenly became excited.
"Mulan, do you think so too?"
He Mulan looked at the Hua Father who had been beaten with chicken blood, and then looked at the terrified Yuan Shi, and nodded silently.
"I am General Huwei, and the Hu Ben army is Master Wang, so naturally I can't leave. Mom, if you are really worried, I can think of ways to send you out, but..."
"Let's forget it, your grandfather doesn't leave, you don't leave either, where am I going?" Hua Mu shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere, my family, let's die together. Before you went to Montenegro, I was afraid every day. At that time, I thought, it's better to die together and save the torture. It's all in front of me, how can I go?"
"You old woman, what are you saying to be depressing! My army is invincible in the world, how can I let Crowwow down! It's unfounded worry!"
Father Hua couldn't hear anything unlucky, if it wasn't for his bad legs, he would have jumped up.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it. There is still a confinement child at home, and I can't leave now." Hua Mu thought of Mrs. He in the main courtyard, and suddenly changed the topic: "Oh, there is still soup stewing on the stove! The sky is so busy that I almost forgot it, I have to have someone bring it to her!"
She walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned her head and said to everyone, "By the way, she doesn't know what's going on in the chaos. She is weak now and can't be frightened. You are not allowed to talk about it!"
"Okay, don't talk, don't talk!"
Maybe He Mulan didn't look like a woman at all, and the eldest daughter had been married for many, many years, and Yuan Shi's motherly love poured out on Mrs. He.
Ever since she found out that Mrs. He was from He Lai's family, both Hua's parents and Hua's mother became close to her. The two families said that their ancestors were old, and they were the main family. He Mulan was taken care of by the elders of the He Lai family in the courtroom. Even if the "sinister" in the main room was really able to kill, the Hua family with a strong sense of justice would still treat her. Shelter to the end.
As a result, Mrs. He, who concealed her true identity, felt a little embarrassed.
"What about Muto?"
He Mulan glanced at the house.
"Why are you missing?"
"I asked him to go to the small school to practice martial arts with Chen Jie." Father Hua shook his head when he thought of his son. "You and I are both people who don't lose face. We have the name of 'Warrior', but we are not good at martial arts. God is also a trick to people."
'When I killed someone for the first time, I couldn't do it, and was trampled to death by a horse. '
He Mulan sighed in her heart, and probably understood Father Hua's worries.
She is the famous "Tiger Power General", and she killed Da Tan. If her younger brother really falls into the hands of Rouran, it will definitely not end well.
However, Hua Mutuo was not skilled in martial arts and did not dare to kill people. In order to cultivate Hua Mutuo's courage, Hua Mutuo let him kill chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep at home, and he was still trembling.
Some people are born to be afraid of blood, and some people are born to be afraid of death. This is nature and it is difficult to change.
"Don't push him too hard."
He Mulan softly persuaded Father Hua.
"I am here."
"If only my legs weren't broken." Father Hua patted his knee complainingly. "If the legs weren't broken, how could there be so many things!"
He Mulan was hesitating about how to persuade Father Hua when she heard another family member outside to report.
"There is someone from Marquis Lu's family! The lord of Dugu's family is also here to ask to see you!"
Several Langjun and Dugunuo from Lu Luyuan's mansion came.
"What are they doing? Isn't Dugu Nuo waiting to be a father?"
He Mulan is a bit strange, but there are many people who have shown goodwill in the past few days. Dugunuo and the sons of the Lu family who are neighbors have a good personal relationship with He Mulan. He Mulan immediately heard that they were coming. Or get dressed and go out to meet them.
"General Hua, don't think that we are following the flames. When you come back, we don't dare to come, because we are afraid of causing trouble for you."
After Gianli took them in, Dugu Nuo, the most outspoken character, smiled and said, "At that time, when something happened to Beiliang, we all belonged to the military faction. If we all came to visit, we would be afraid that others would think too much."
"I understand."
In fact, He Mulan didn't care whether they came or not. She was originally a pure minister, and she had clean ears even if she didn't come.
"What wind brought you here today?"
"Hey, don't you know yet?"
Seeing that He Mulan had no news at all, Dugu Nuo couldn't help but glanced at each other with the Lu family brothers. Seeing He Mulan again, he was still confused and coughed.
"When the eldest grandson Sikong was about to leave, he asked the prince for an order. If it is not good for Rouran's war, he will immediately call you into the army, and His Highness has already agreed. Your Huben army is not enough, so you have to go to other places to recruit... "
This kind of thing is a pit and a radish. Once it is recruited, it may be the official generals and soldiers of the Hu Ben Army in the future. Many children who do not have the right of inheritance want to mix military achievements in the army. The selected candidate, Hu Benjun is a solid Montenegrin elite, and if you want to enter, you must have a chance.
He Mulan is the young general that Tuoba Tao valued most, and now there is news that Tuoba Huang does not want He Mulan to leave because he believes that He Mulan can guard the palace city well. Others are worried, which makes many people think Although the Hu Ben army was powerful in Beiliang, Jun's kindness remained undiminished and would still be one of the elites of Wei in the future.
As Zuo Sima, He Mulan, when You Sima Yuan Po Qiang was absent and Tuo Ba Tao disappeared, he was the only head coach of the Hu Ben Army who could select generals.
"After a long time, you all came here by your own recommendation, and what you said was too obscure..." It was only at this time that He Mulan suddenly realized.
"What? You all want to come to Huben?"
"As long as the general is useful, go directly to Dugu's house to send a message. I will immediately lead the Jiabing family to vote in the future. You don't have to worry about the food and salary, I will bring it myself!"
Dugu Nuo smiled with big white teeth.
"How is it, is it worth it?"
"The Hu Ben army is now short of more than 2,000 people..." He Mulan smiled, "If the Rouran people really want to come in, do you have 2,000 people to fill? If I can't fill it, I still have to go to the army for adjustment."
The Northern Wei Dynasty managed the army very extensively. The military households were the basics, and the family private soldiers were elites and private soldiers. Both parties had military merits in joining the army, but the family private soldiers were recorded on the head of the family or the general who led the private soldiers.
As far as the generals of Wei State were concerned, they actually preferred to take military households, because the military merits of military households in the army were counted on the head coach, but the quality of military households varied. Set up a horse, you can see how convenient it is to bring private soldiers directly.
There are gains and losses, but really, He Mulan agrees to use the children of the Xianbei powerful family, which will definitely be beneficial to the improvement of his personal connections, and he will immediately get an elite soldier who can go to the battlefield without training.
The risk was that the private soldiers only listened to their commanders, not He Mulan's orders, unless He Mulan had absolute control over these "commanders".
"I don't have that many, but there are a lot of people who are willing to come." Dugu Nuo stretched out his hand and counted it for her: "The Yuchi family, me, the Lu family brothers, and many Han people with five surnames have practiced martial arts since childhood and did not want to enter the imperial court. My son, if you count it like this, there are more than 2,000 people, if you want 5,000 people, I can bring you here."
As soon as Dugu Nuo finished speaking, the Lu brothers immediately looked up at He Mulan.
"How about it, General, promise, promise?"
He Mulan was amused by them: "Don't say that Sikong will not necessarily lose ahead, even if Sikong wants me to tell me to go, I have to be familiar with the people and horses before I can go. A bunch of unusable…”
"It can be used, it can be used, it can be used! Otherwise, why would our parents want us to come... ah!"
Dugu Nuo glanced at Lu Jiaqilang who beat him.
"What are you hitting me for?"
A few of the Lu family were about to be mad at Dugu Nuo who spoke outright. Goodbye He Mulan looked at them with a half-smile, so they had no choice but to pour the beans into the bamboo tube and say it clean.
"After the news came out, we were all moved, and we wanted to follow the path of the elders in the family to talk to you. It's just that General Hua lives in a secluded place on weekdays, and he has no friendship with us, and those who have friendships turn around for 100,000 yuan. Eight thousand miles…”
Lu Qilang said embarrassedly: "The general may not know that even the doors of several houses have been stepped on, because the youngest sons of several families and the general are close friends."
He Mulan nodded.
There were indeed many people visiting before, and they were all people who needed to be respectfully received, but they didn't say much, and He Mulan couldn't understand the twists and turns, so they all left relatively silent in the end.
Yuan Fang was left in the Hu Ben army camp to be responsible for the preparation and recording of military achievements. He was not in Huafu at all, and there was no one to discuss.
"Our grandfather was rather strict and didn't want to clear things up for us. He just told us to find a way by ourselves, but he promised us that if we could join the Huben Army, he would give our family three hundred private soldiers, all of whom were young soldiers or veterans who knew how to do martial arts. Armored steed..."
Lu Jiaqilang pointed to Dugu Nuo.
"I went to him and he said..."
"What's so difficult about this? Come with me to find General Hua!"
Lu Jiulang pinched his nose and learned Dugu Nuo to speak.
He Mulan really amused this group of young people with joy and sorrow.
The joy is that her ability is recognized by everyone after all, and the worry is that if many people have such thoughts, then she will definitely offend some people.
Unless her Hu Ben army can accommodate so many children to join.
"If General Hua is worried that our people are incompetent or not obeying your command, from tomorrow onwards, we will take our home armored soldiers and generals to the Huben Army for drills, and let the generals see what we can do..."
The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and people outside are frightened, but these noble children think that this is a good opportunity to make achievements and make a career. Change military skills.
"I'll think about it first."
He Mulan did not immediately agree to them.
"I haven't heard any news here, maybe the news you got is wrong?"
"How could it be wrong? It's from the eldest grandson's family and Taichang Cui... Oh, why are you beating me up again!"
Dugu Nuo glared angrily.
"Hit me again and I'll turn my face!"
The Lu family all rolled their eyes.
Still young people get along happily, a group of people chatting and laughing, and finally the guests left with high expectations.
When he was going out, Dugu Nuo ran into Yuwen's family lord who was going to visit him, and his nose crooked with anger: "Why are you here?"
When the Yuwen family saw Dugu Nuo and the Lu family come out, they knew that they had the same purpose, and they were secretly anxious, but because they were also friends with Dugu Nuo, they smiled and said, "Well, last time I fell into the water in the garden and got the general. Help, don't you come here to thank me!"
"It's been more than a year, thank you again?"
Dugu Nuo made a face.
"If you want to turn around, you have to invite me to a drink!"
"Yo, you are so confident, it looks like you can do it?"
Yuwen's family is in a hurry.
"Hey, I won't tell you that I'm going to take the armored soldiers and pull them directly to General Hua quietly... Oh, why are you hitting me again, Qilang!"
Lu Jiazhonglang: ... We killed you, believe it or not!
The youngest son of Yuwen's family knew that Dugu Nuo had a bad brain, so he didn't laugh at him. He only joked that Dugu Nuo was too excited to be a father recently, so that some language was confused and gave him a step down.
Dugu Nuo is the kind of person who can't understand the subtext. He really thought that the Yuwen family was congratulating him, and scratched his head with a smile: "Yeah, Jiuniang is so beautiful, the children she gave birth must be very beautiful, and I have the Dugu family. My blood, boys and girls are my treasures. If it weren't for the sake of making a future for my children, why would I take the risk to go to the Tiger Ben Army... "
He was there and talked about a lot of expectations for the child. The poor Yuwen family hadn't married yet, so he couldn't stand it and hurried to find the door to pass the news.
"Don't go... I haven't finished speaking yet... "
***
He Mulan sent away a bunch of "brother sons" yesterday, and he was really overwhelmed. In addition, he didn't know how the Hu Ben army had been practicing these days. She left a message for her parents in the early morning and came back in the evening, and immediately drove out of the city on a horse. , went straight to the Hu Ben military camp outside the city.
It was just that she and Na Luohun had already discovered that something was wrong before they reached the suburbs of Beijing.
The dust was rolling in the distance, and it seemed that many people and horses ran past, and even the dust did not sink to the ground.
There was no dew on the weeds on both sides, and there was still a lot of horse manure on the ground. Judging from all the clues, the number of people even exceeded their tiger Ben army.
An enemy appeared in the suburbs of Beijing
How could it be, it didn't fly down from the sky!
"what happened?"
Na Luohun jumped off the horse, picked up a piece of horse dung and rubbed it.
"It's still fresh, it's only been half an hour since I walked there."
He Mulan thought about it carefully, she probably had speculation in her heart, and her scalp suddenly felt numb.
"It won't be what I think it will be..."
"General?"
He Mulan frowned and looked behind her.
Is it too late to go back now
"Not the enemy."
He Mulan sighed.
"Forget it, we will face it sooner or later, let's go."
Although Luo Hun didn't quite understand, he still nodded and followed He Mulan unconditionally.
Even if there is a group of Rouran people waiting in front of him, he will not back down.
Sure enough, when He Mulan and Na Luohun arrived near the Huben military camp, they saw men and horses of various colors and attire forming a splendid circle outside the Huben camp.
"What is this for, is there a martial arts conference?"
He Mulan's eyes widened in astonishment.
These people seemed to have come to a beauty pageant. The war horses they rode were not variegated. Everyone had bright clothes and armor. Some people even brought a team of white horses of the same color. He Mulan felt ashamed when he saw it.
Looking closely, He Mulan felt that the banners of several major families in Pingcheng seemed to have taken over all of them.
Back then, the Montenegrin Army had all kinds of thin horses and bad horses, and the Lushuihu people were like refugees.
The horses of this group of people are really enviable and jealous.
She even saw Zhao Yeming Light Armor!
She has been in the mix for so many years before she was given a pair!
Yaoshou!
Seeing He Mulan's iconic Dawan horse, a group of people rushed over immediately.
"General Hua, you are here, the brothers have been waiting for a long time!"
Dugu Nuo spoke from a distance, complaining a little aggrievedly.
"You people from the Hu Ben Army will not open the camp gate for us!"
"nonsense!"
He Mulan snorted coldly.
Such a large group of people, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are here to smash the scene!
