Chapter 309: Raising Might
So many people came to protect her safety, whether it was her request or not, it was reasonable for everyone to have enough to eat.
But there are only two cooks in her family, and the kitchen does not prepare so many people's food, she originally thought that the food rewarded by Her Majesty would be enough for more than 60 men in the future, but now these two hundred and sixty people want to eat a full meal, and it must be too late to cook it......
"Chen Jie!"
He Mulan thought for a moment and beckoned to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's feet slipped, revealing an expression of "It's also a problem that I'm really too smart and capable", and drooped his head and "in".
"Go and open the storeroom, take out one of my fine silk, and exchange it for something to eat......"
He Mulan looked at Chen Jie with some embarrassment.
Although it is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, she knows that Chen Jie is very smart, although there are more people......
Well, more than a little more.
But she believed he would do it!
Chen Jie dragged his feet and went to work in the eyes of the brute gloating.
'Hey, call you kid to sell wits all the time!' Is the Ghost so good? If Lao Tzu wasn't stupid, I don't know how many times he would have died! ’
The ancient man was very happy.
'If a smart person is caught, just do a stupid person's thing!' ’
He Mulan has to practice martial arts every morning, and only eat after practicing martial arts, so the kitchen prepares to make all kinds of soups, soups and porridge will not be cold, and the more stewed, the more fragrant.
But today's early morning is very strange, He Mulan and Mangu are practicing martial arts, and dozens of men in the small school field are watching them compare with their stomachs grunting, and shouting "good".
After practicing, Mangu really couldn't stand so many pairs of eyes and retreated, but instead turned into dozens of men who took turns to feed He Mulan.
In the past, He Mulan has only seen this kind of film, which is the kind of villain who appears to be awesome and coaxing, while practicing martial arts, he calls his subordinates to make moves, and Ada Ada who beats his subordinates screams at his subordinates and shouts "xx is so powerful, his subordinates are really invincible".
However, since the villain is a villain, he always has to lose to a poor boy who was born out of nowhere, this person must be a combination of all kinds of poor silk and one, and there must be a beautiful childhood sweetheart, and this villain just fell in love with his childhood plum, so the story of D silk counterattack endures......
Every time he encounters this kind of plot, He Mullan sincerely wants to say:
"Boy, you'd better go and get into a fight with the villain. Shouldn't they be on that set to chase you or something to overtake you?"
Oops, divergent thinking is far away all of a sudden.
He Mulan looked at Lu Shuihu on the other side with a headache.
"My sword is called Panshi, and it weighs a hundred catties......" He Mulan glanced at the single knife that was shattered on the ground, "I practice martial arts with the guards, and the guards use all the wrought iron swords of the high car......"
The man grabbed the single knife with tears in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "It's broken, it's been with me for many years, it's broken, I can't even afford a kitchen knife, where can I buy a knife, will I use a stick in the future......
Those who saw it wept, and those who heard it were sad, so that He Mulan had to open his mouth and promise: "Ahem, I still have a lot of swords in my storehouse, and I will ask Mangu to get one for you later."
said that it was too late, and the tears in the eyes of the tiger-eyed man were cleaned up in an instant, and he nodded with a simple smile unique to Lu Shuihu.
"Thank you, General!"
"General, I have admired your martial arts for a long time, please have a few tricks with me!"
"General, general, they are not good at martial arts, I am the first person among the young people of Lu Shuihu, come on, let me feed you!"
"General Hua, I am also a sword-wielder, please advise!"
……
Surrounded by a group of men, He Mulan had to do something that he had never done before, which greatly destroyed his prestige......
Click.
Rock to the ground.
"You're all heroes, if it's hurt, it's not good, let's still play empty-handed, how about it?"
He Mulan smiled warmly, and his attitude was extremely beautiful.
Lu Shuihu: ...... Lao Tzu's clothes are all off, you tell me this?
I don't know how Chen Jie did it, he actually prepared all the food for 260 people in less than half an hour, although this food ......
"It's still delicious enough! It's full and can contain meat! A man ate with a mouth full of oil, "General Hua is really a good person, we work, and it would be good if other people could give us a mouthful of corn porridge!" "
This man can still talk while eating, but he doesn't even want to speak, just stuffing it in his mouth, lest he open his mouth and drop the crumbs.
He Mulan didn't like to eat anything here since he traveled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, except for Hu Cake, which tasted a little like the multigrain cake in his previous life. But even so, I can't stand eating every year, eating every month, eating in the barracks, eating on the march, and seeing Hu Cake at this time, I have a faint feeling of wanting to vomit.
But Chen Jie did right, at this time, if you want to buy more than 200 people at once, only a dozen Hu Cakes can be made at a time to save the most time, he only needs to run the two cities of East and West, wrap the Hu Cakes and send them to Changping Fang, feeding more than 200 men is more than enough.
These men gnawed on the Hu cakes with relish, and the directors He Mulan and Chen Jie felt guilty while eating wheat rice and drinking mutton soup, and the breakfast that was originally regarded as a delicacy also did not know the essence of the food, and they hurriedly used it up and put it down.
A dry Lu Shui Hu man feasted, and after eating a round belly, he put his hand in one. [,! ] Shoot.
"It's easy to work with a full stomach, General Hua, which one do you say you want to do, everyone just copy the guys!"
"That's it, who are you going to overturn, you give a word, we'll go!"
He Mulan originally thought that these men were straightforward and cute, but when he heard their words, his heart was cold.
People say that "Cang Liao knows etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace", if you can't eat enough and can't live, you can't talk about etiquette and morality. Gai Wu sat on three hundred martial artists, but he could not feed them, nor could he make them feel honored, and as time went by, either they abandoned Gai Wu and started a new stove, or Gai Wu led them to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil.
If she hadn't accepted Gai Wu as a disciple, how long would the process be?
Ten days? Twenty days? Thirty days?
Maybe a month later, there will be an extra team of rogue ruffians near Heijo that everyone fears.
Lu Shuihu is now only feared by the Wei State because of his disobedience, and he usually has no bad deeds. If they start to gather people to mutiny, kill people and steal goods, the notoriety of the Lu Shuihu people will not be washed away, and the Wei State will inevitably restrain them fiercely.
Rolling down like this, the contradictions between the nations gradually became bigger, and in the end, no one could tell why there was hatred.
Is this how the hatred in this world was formed in the beginning? If those Hu people could survive, wouldn't they have rebelled?
Whether it's the Qiang people or the white dragon hu, did they embark on this road because they couldn't survive in the first place?
So why can't you live? Whose responsibility is this?
The more He Mulan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and later, it almost reached the point where he was drenched in cold sweat and couldn't speak.
Looking at the Lu Shuihu people who were sitting in a mess in the courtyard, He Mulan finally didn't let them "" anyone, but only said a sentence aloud.
"You are all good men, how can you promise lightly for a meal? Your great skills should be used in meaningful places, and my small favor is not worthy of your kindness."
"General Hua, you are a good person, but you are too hypocritical!" Lu Ertai wiped his mouth and shouted: "We are willing to protect you, although there is a request from Young Master Gai Wu, but we are not all of us. Otherwise, with our ability, if we go to a thug nursing home, wouldn't we eat and drink spicy food every day? We are willing to follow you and protect you, naturally because we think that you are a great hero, different from those nobles who suck people's blood."
"You are also from an ordinary military family, and your meal is naturally different from the meal of those nobles. You didn't see that little brother's bitter face? We are all from poor families, and when we eat your food, we naturally have to do things for you, otherwise we will have no face and no skin."
Lurtai patted his chest.
"Brothers, are we such people who eat and drink?"
"It's not!"
"Since it's not, let's cheer up! Even if it is the king of heaven who comes to assassinate Lao Tzu, he will call them back! "
"Yes!"
He Mulan thinks that he is not a person who is easily moved, but listening to the roars of this group of men, his heart is about to explode as if it is being rolled by hot oil.
They didn't know that they might be facing their own compatriots, and maybe they wouldn't "fight back" as they said when they met those who committed the assassination, but even so, at this moment, their sincere feelings, she had already accepted.
"Yes, it's me who is being too hypocritical."
He Mulan nodded haughtily.
"In this case, I will have to bother you more!"
"The general is easy to say!"
"With us here, no one can touch half of your hair unless the Yulin Army is dispatched!"
A group of people bustled and noisy, this atmosphere is too much like the army, although it is only half a year, He Mulan feels that it is too far away from the days of the golden iron horse, at this time, seeing them gossiping, not only did not feel irritable, but smiled heartily.
Until the familiar voice came to her ears again.
"General Hua, do you want to have dinner at night?"
"It doesn't really take so many people."
He Mulan smiled wryly and looked at the large group of people behind him.
"And we ride horses, you don't have to ......"
"Don't worry about us, general, we also have horses, there is no pasture in the city, we keep them outside the city." A group of men replied to Hermulan with a smile.
"General Hua, you are riding in front, we must follow!"
Yesterday, I made an appointment with Yuan Poqiang to meet in the new camp of Huben, although yesterday was prevaricated by something, if it is pushed again today, it will inevitably be a little faceless.
He Mullan's methods are not tactful enough, but he is not willing to do this kind of offending people. And if it is rumored in the future that Mulan was scared by just an arrow and did not dare to go out, I am afraid it will also be a laughing stock.
But no matter how cheeky she was, she asked more than 200 Lu Shuihu men dressed like this to follow her to the Tiger Ben military camp......
Is it really good?
In this way, Hermulan felt the feeling of "all eyes on her" for the nth time, but for the first time, she was so eager that everyone would not look at her.
Anyone riding a tall horse and chasing more than 200 ragged men behind him will feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he left the city soon, but He Mulan was sure that with Su Hejun's ability to penetrate the egret officials, the news that she had brought more than 200 Hu people to swagger through the city would reach the ears of that majesty.
And it's also a Lushuihu person.
She's right away. [,! It's about to be sent to Beiliang, and there are so many Lu Shuihu people around, is it really okay?
With tears streaming down his eyes, He Mulan rode forward on Yueying, and there was a feeling that he had simply dismounted and led the way.
Look at Chen Jie and Mangu on the left and right, their expressions are even more confused than hers. If it is customary for a general to ride a horse, it is really uncomfortable for a guard to ride a horse, followed by more than 200 foot soldiers.
The group walked out of the city gate with different expressions, and the city gate official who guarded the city gate even looked at He Mulan's generals countless times over and over again. If it weren't for the city gate officials, who had long been accustomed to He Mulan going out of the city early in the morning to go to the new camp of Huben, I am afraid that they would have been taken down as suspicious people at this moment.
These Lu Shuihu men are all arrogant and energetic, and it seems that it is a great honor to have such a world-famous leader.
Outside the city, He Mulan looked at the official road of Pingchuan, and then looked at the people of Lu Shuihu who were wearing straw sandals, dog leather boots and other messy shoes behind him, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"General Hua, you don't care about us, we'll keep up. A little further on, our horses will be ready to ride......"
The men grinned and motioned to her not to care, but He Mulan couldn't resist them, and rode Yue Ying all the way to the new camp of Huben.
"General...... General ......"
Chen Jie heard the sound of continuous footsteps behind him, and looked at the Lu Shuihu men behind him dumbfounded.
"They...... They actually ...... With the ...... of running"
He Mulan didn't look back and knew what was going on, and his heart was really sour.
"Well, don't look back, don't ride too fast."
The sound of running wildly hit the bottom of Hemulan's heart, and she couldn't help but look solemn.
This Lu Shuihu people deserve the name of the famous "Tiantai Army" in later generations. Even among the Xianbei army, there are very few cases of rapid marching in this way.
They really use their own hands and feet to fight on this land to this day!
The travelers from outside and outside the city of Pingcheng watched with curiosity: at the forefront, the general riding a black Dawan good horse and two guards were trotting all the way to a certain valley. Behind them, burly men of all colors buried their heads in pursuit, although tired and panting, everyone was happy.
Some of these people have dishes, and some are disheveled, but any person who takes them out for people to see will only praise "good man" from the bottom of their hearts.
This "good man" praises not the appearance, but their words and deeds, which is the satisfaction of the real experience on the battlefield.
"What's the situation? Which general has come up with a new method of military training? Let people run after the horses?"
A merchant who traveled north and south asked his friends.
"What is the way for the general riding the Dawan horse in front of him?"
"I really don't know the general." The well-informed friend squinted for a long time." However, there are only a few Dawan horses in my country, and this general should be either rich or expensive......"
Hua Fugui didn't know what others were saying about them, until they arrived near a pasture not far from the official road, and people came out one after another, leading a large group of horses.
Most of these horses are of good breeds, and any horse standing next to them looks like it was stolen compared to the tattered clothes of these men, but the intimate attitude of these horses towards their owners is not fake.
It was only now that Hermulan was truly relieved.
More than 200 men turned over and got on their horses, and the clansmen who came to join them hugged their fists in thanks. These people are probably the friends who said "can't come out" before, and they saluted He Mullan from a distance and turned away.
The entrance of the new camp of Huben.
The five hundred private soldiers dressed in rusty red robes stood neatly outside the camp gate and greeted He Mullan under the leadership of Sima Yuanpoqiang, the right of the tiger.
Now that the day has risen, a group of private soldiers are dressed in leather armor and robes, although it is winter, they are also sweating from the sun, and the waiting time is also long, some people can't help but show irritable expressions.
Most of Yuan Poqiang's private soldiers are personal soldiers who came out of Nanliang, some of them are the henchmen of his dead brothers, and some are the children of those broken nobles in Nanliang, Yuan Poqiang is not very old, although he can rule them, but they must be arrogant, he deliberately pulled them to the door and waited, but also to sharpen their temperament and file their sharpness.
After a while, Yuan Poqiang heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the people here were all generals rolling in the ranks.
"Enemy attack?"
Yuan Poqiang was shocked.
"No, what enemy can hit the outside of the city without a sound? If it is really an enemy attack, a few hundred people will only be enough to fill the teeth of the garrison outside the city."
Yuan Poqiang's heart was stable, so he glanced at the generals behind him who showed all kinds of surprise, and warned loudly: "Don't act rashly, take a look at the situation first."
The sound of the horse's hooves is getting closer and closer, and with the sound of the horse's hooves comes a strange smell.
Some of them are like the strange smell of salted fish, chicken, duck, fish and geese mixed together in the bazaar, and roasted by the sun; There are also some big men who have been sloppy for a few months and gathered together and took off their shoes and socks in unison.
This smell is really displeasing to people's hearts, Yuan Poqiang is also a prince when he is down, and he pays the most attention to his appearance, and when he sees He Mulan leading a large group of strangely dressed men with various smells on his body to the front of the barracks, even if he is well-cultivated, he can't help frowning. [,! ] blurted out:
"General Hua, don't you think I brought private soldiers to give you a horse, so ......"
He glanced at Lu Shuihu, who was dressed in strange clothes behind her, and said with a wry smile:
"…… Smashing the field?"
Don't say it's Hemulan, it's anyone who sees the group of people brought by Hemulan will have such an idea.
If you don't like the behavior of the source, with Hermulan's current prestige and status, it is a matter of one sentence to borrow hundreds of elite soldiers from several families, Herai's family or Kumoti to support the scene.
But he came to the Tiger Ben military camp with hundreds of market gangsters, some of whom looked like they were still miscellaneous at first glance......
"It's hard to put into words."
In the face of such speculation as Yuan Poqiang, He Mulan could only turn over and dismount to show that he had no such intention.
As He Mulan dismounted, Chen Jie, Mangu and Yigan Shuihu also rolled their saddles and dismounted, their movements clean and neat, and they were obviously people who often marched.
Seeing that these people might indeed be veterans, not the private army that He Mullan was looking for to humiliate the bald and wealthy people, Yuan Poqiang's face was a little better.
He Mulan led more than 200 Lu Shuihu people into the barracks, stood side by side with Yuan Poqiang, and roughly talked about his assassination in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then these people were all friends found by his disciples, and they were enthusiastic to protect Yunyun.
At that time, people loved to raise private soldiers, even the rangers were roaring to gather in the mountains and forests, and there were also a large number of dilapidated nobles with many family members wandering around.
In this way, his attitude was a little better, but the private soldiers behind him were not like that.
Lu Shuihu has been a mercenary, but what is a mercenary?
It's all a wild road, don't say that you have to find your own way to supply heavy grain and grass, like this blowing horn company camp, there has never been a military camp with complete military tents, not to mention the vast school field, back and forth with all kinds of equipment logistics soldiers.
Therefore, as soon as these Lu Shuihu people entered the barracks, they looked around with all kinds of envy and curiosity, and occasionally saw a few good horses being led by, and their eyes were full of blazing things.
They seemed to have seen the majestic sound of the drill when the camp was full of soldiers, and their noses seemed to smell the clear smell of the sworn wine when the drums were beating, and the neighing of horses and the sound of swords unsheathed were more like perfect music, stirring their eardrums one by one.
Fantasy is the most beautiful thing, every boy has the dream of a golden iron horse, not to mention that the Lu Shuihu people have fought side by side with the regular army countless times for hundreds of years, until the sixteen countries when the north was in a scuffle.
They finally met a wise leader Gai Tiantai, but they were beheaded by Changsun Han in the chaos of the army, and although they fell apart after that, the blood in their hearts was not extinguished.
These men are full of blood, but the private soldiers of the source are looking at these reckless people with disgust and disdain, some Lu Shuihu people don't even have a pair of shoes, wrapped in strange things sewn together with grass and rags, and even some people don't even have a belt around their waists, only use straw ropes to make a mess.
Yuan Poqiang keenly discovered the thoughts of his subordinates, and found that those Lu Shuihu people were disdainful of this, and immediately understood that these people should have real skills.
It was these true skills that made them ignore the pride of his subordinates, because their pride did not lie in their status and clothing, but in their confidence in their own strength.
Thinking of this, Yuan Poqiang showed the lovely smile he had when he was in the Black Mountain military camp.
"General Hua, it's idle anyway......"
He showed two small tiger teeth and said to He Mulan:
"Why don't you let both sides move?"
An hour later.
"Ugh! Yes! I throw in the towel! I throw in the towel! "
"Don't slap your face! I throw in the towel! "
"I won't admit defeat, there's a kind of you killing me! Uhh You're really going to kill me?"
There was a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling on the school field, and Hu Jian'er, two hundred Lu Shui, against the two hundred carefully selected Yuan family army, almost won with the momentum of beating the opponent.
In addition to the usual drills and expeditions, these private soldiers are raised by nobles at other times, and they never worry about survival, and these Lu Shui Hu Jian'er In addition to the necessary martial arts training every day, it is common to do decay or carry things, and a body of tendon meat can simply support the clothes.
What kind of street fights, the ability to survive in the chaotic army, these private soldiers who suddenly beat them lost their armor, and they couldn't wait to hug their heads and run away.
He Mulan and Yuan Poqiang also have some personal relations, Yuan Poqiang's private soldiers are arrogant and arrogant, she has long known, and when he was in Montenegro, he also hit the arrogance of the left army like this, He Mulan understood his thoughts, so let these Lu Shuihu men go down to "play".
This play, this is the result.
Mo said that he just wanted them to know that there were also warriors in the recklessness, and even He Mulan didn't expect these men to have such skills.
Those who can persist until the end and follow Gai Wu are really not mediocre people.
These men also intend to let Mulan see their skills, and the kung fu in their hands will never be restrained, but they will suffer these private soldiers, and they will not be beaten to death, if they are unfortunately pressed under Lu Shuihuren's body, smelling the smell of sweat and peculiar smell coming from the other party, I really can't wait to cry.
Two hundred men easily won the opponent, and in addition to a few particularly strong old generals under Yuan Poqiang, they were almost mournful and lying down.
Lu Ertai can come out repeatedly, and his natural martial arts are not weak, and after he won steadily, he took a few. [,! The man of Lu Shuihu came to salute Hemulan.
"General Hua, fortunately I didn't lose my life, but fortunately I didn't lose your face."
He Mulan smiled and nodded, of course happy in his heart.
"You, where the hell did you find such a group of ......?"
The look of shock on Yuan Poqiang's face was indescribable, and he even stood up later, standing directly on the edge of the point platform and watching them fight.
Seeing that these men respected He Mulan one by one, he was even more secretly frightened.
He Mulan saw that these Lu Shuihu people were inexplicably exalted, and he was also happy for them.
"Ah......h
She chuckled as she looked at Yuan Poqiang, who was so fanatical that she wanted to take these Lu Shuihu people into her account.
"Delivered to the door yourself."
