Chapter 356: The Water Leaks

"…… Therefore, when the last general left Chen County, he had sent the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to arrange hidden piles in the river to fill the mouth of the river, so that the dark river would never see the light of day. It is true that this path to Liu Song is not a shortcut, but my Wei State is not long in the water army, but Liu Song has long understood this river, if this dark river is really used, it is not clear whether my Great Wei took advantage of it, or Liu Song is easier to use......"

He Mulan looked at Tuoba Tao and a group of courtiers, and shared his thoughts about why he did this.

"The dark river of the Yuan family's Wubi, except for the Yin family, no other sect master knows about it. Yuan Zhe is dead, although Yuan Fang and Yuan Hua are sisters-in-law, but Yuan Zhe has controlled the Yuan family for a long time, and in order to protect his son, many secrets have not been told. For example, in the case of Liu Yuanjing, Yuan Fang didn't know what was going on. But he manages the Yuan family's caravan, and the Yuan family knows who he has taken to where he went, and these Liu Song's spies can ask the Egret official to investigate carefully, and they will definitely be able to find out the people who colluded."

Su Hejun was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

"Exactly! Liu Yuanjing didn't know the whereabouts of the others, and he didn't know all of them. But most of them entered my Great Wei from the Yuan family, and now they can be regarded as cutting off a path, which is really a great goodness! "

Tuoba Tao was still listening intently, and Cui Hao suddenly asked Di Yefei: "What did you gain by going this time?"

Di Yefei was sent to "study", but this battle was not fought at all, He Mulan with the two tigers was equivalent to a soy sauce, only besieged but not attacked, in addition to making the two armies more familiar, it seems that the purpose of training the army has not been achieved.

And I originally imagined that Wu Bi along the road might have small movements, and because of this plague patient, everyone was in danger, where could I care about what the army was going south for!

However, Liu Song was the first time to Chen Bing in the north, looking like he was guarding against the Wei people going south, which made Tuoba Tao and others even more sure that the Song State had a large number of detailed works in the Wei Territory, and it was even likely that the Wei people reported the news, otherwise the defense speed of the Song State would not be so fast.

Because of this, when Di Yefei heard his teacher test him in class, he thought for a while and replied: "First, I followed General Hua on the march and learned about the methods of camping, supplying, and deploying counties along the road during the march of the army; second, they learned to estimate the amount of supply for the army; Although there was no fighting, this was the first time I led the Tiger Army on an expedition, and we had a good run-in with each other......"

Cui Hao twisted his beard with satisfaction: "Yes, let you go, just so that you can learn how to march. As for not fighting, it is better for us, the war is about grain, grass and supplies, and we can win without spending swords and soldiers, without consuming grain and grass, if I have a few more generals like General Hua, we don't have to have a headache every day how to squeeze out the wealth."

"Haha......"

"Hahaha......"

Several of the adults present burst out laughing when they heard this.

"There are more than 870 households in the entire Yuanjia Wubi, with a total of more than 30,000 people, including more than 20,000 young and strong people, and more than 10,000 children and the elderly. There are more than 400 relatives of the three clans of the Yuan family, except for the young and old who are not suitable to travel and stay in the Chenjun Mansion Prison, the rest have been escorted to Beijing."

He Mulan thought of the "nobles" who were used to being pampered along the way, and couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Most of them don't know what kind of exterminating thing Yuan Zhe is doing, they just think that Yuan Zhe tried to rebel and implicate them, and they are full of hope that His Majesty can see the situation and spare their lives."

In ancient times, rebellion was a "heinous" crime, and it was common for even the nine clans to sit down, and the first offender was to divide the corpses of five horses and be executed in Lingchi, so Yuan Fang was willing to do this "head of the family" for the sake of the Yuan family, but in fact, he had already reported the consciousness of not dying well.

If he doesn't become the head of the family, Yuan Hua will come out and be the head of the family. Can Yuan Hua's physical condition, I am afraid that he will die of illness halfway before he arrives in Pingcheng.

It's ridiculous that the Yuan family had almost fought for the head of the family before, and the Yin family even took the child to his mother's family, in order to make a comeback in the future......

Wait, could it be that Yuan Fang did it on purpose? At that time, he was in charge of the Yuan family's armor soldiers, not to mention women and children, even a dog couldn't escape.

He actually calculated her again under her nose to let the little nephew escape from prison!

"Mulan, what are you thinking?"

Tuoba Tao called out to Mullan, but seeing that she didn't respond, he called again in a loud voice.

"Ah, nothing." He Mulan was distracted in front of the emperor, and his heart was also weak, and he immediately shook his head: "I am thinking about the old and young of the Yuan family, and I feel a little unbearable."

Fortunately, Tuoba Tao always knew that He Mulan was soft-hearted, but after all, he was an emperor, and he would not forgive the people of the Yuan family because of He Mulan's soft-heartedness.

"The Yuan family uses living people to do this kind of evil thing, even if Yuan Zhe is dead, the helper cannot be tolerated. The Egret official must find out the accomplices who plundered the population in various places, and as for the people who have participated in this matter in the Yuan family, they will all be beheaded after the autumn. Yuan Fang, the head of the Yuan family, has made meritorious service for his crimes, and the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crimes cannot be escaped, and he will be released after consulting with the officials."

He thought for a while, and then continued: "The men of the Yuan family are not slaves, and the female dependents of the Yuan family who marry are exempted from the crime, and the rest of the female dependents are punished as palace maids. It just so happens that the harem is going to have a woman again, and there are not enough people......"

Tuoba Tao thought that so many literate women were really good helpers for the Empress Dowager Dou, and he couldn't help but be satisfied.

He Mulan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It is much better to be an official maid in the palace than to sell it to the official office as an official prostitute or other female slave. At least the women of the family who can read will be treated well in the palace. Empress Dowager Dou is the daughter of the big family.

It's just that the male is a little miserable, and the slave is full, and the most male slaves in Wei are not to build. [,! Fortifications are not a good job as a slave in the army.

I only hope that the men of the Yuan family will have more skills, and the office responsible for distributing official slaves may send them to a court official to do accounting or stewardship, otherwise if they are sent to the border, it will be a life of nine deaths.

He Mulan and Di Yefei stayed in the palace to answer the questions of the ministers until the evening. When they were about to be sent out of the palace gate, Su Hejun quietly pulled the two aside and whispered the news to them.

"His Majesty wants to change the law and implement the 'three chiefs' system in the Yuan family's original territory, and Cui Taichang and a large clan from the sect master tried their best to dissuade him. Tomorrow, His Majesty will definitely bring up this matter, and the two of you ......"

He looked at Di Yefei in embarrassment: "It's better to understand how you should do things."

Di Yefei listened to Su Hejun's words, and at first he didn't understand what was going on, but after He Mulan also looked at him with worried eyes, he immediately understood, and shivered excitedly.

No wonder Cui Taichang suddenly wanted to test him in front of the palace just now, it turned out to remind him what his identity was!

Di Yefei is Cui Hao's disciple, but Di Yefei is a young general who is reused by Tuoba Tao, and he is an ally and a good personal friend on the political side of Hemulan, so he is caught in it, and it must be a dilemma for both parties.

But as the deputy marshal who once went to the Yuan family, he also has a certain say in this matter. In particular, when they entered the Wubi of the Yuan family, they were almost smashed in the heads of the men, women and children of the entire Wubi with eggs, which shows that the suzerains and the people in the south do not want the Wubi to disappear, and these are also facts.

Cui Hao and other Hanchen's concerns are not entirely for personal gain.

But for Tuobatao, he naturally hopes that the country's financial revenue will be more and the local power will be smaller, which will have irreconcilable contradictions with the local government.

At this time, it will depend on who has the greater armed forces.

Tuoba Xianbei's cavalry is famous all over the world, and the south has not been raising sword soldiers for a long time, if there is really turmoil because of this matter, it is inevitable that He Mulan and Di Yefei will lead the troops back to their hometown.

So Tuoba Tao is embarrassed and can't bear the temptation, today they go back, the palace must be a bit of a sword, tomorrow in the court, I'm afraid it will be even more noisy.

At this time, it is very important for the generals to have any opinions.

If the generals are not willing to fight for this kind of thing, then Tuoba Tao will not be able to change the law no matter how much he wants to.

Among the young generation of military generals in Beijing, except for a few big clan queens and clan generals who entered the court, He Mulan and Di Yefei were the most outstanding, and there were almost no forces involved behind them, Tuoba Tao could use them without scrupling about the ideas of other forces, which was almost easier to use than the Yulin Army.

He Mulan and Su Hejun both looked at Di Yefei, and Di Yefei was almost drenched in cold sweat. He was not a person who had grown up with these educations, nor was he like He Mullan, who had received the information explosion of the afterlife, and when he saw that Tuoba Tao and Su Hejun seemed to be suspicious of him, his heart immediately panicked.

But when he swept past He Mulan, who was standing without any burden, Di Yefei suddenly came to his senses!

In terms of strategy, Huo Chang is no better than him, but why has he never seen him have a gloomy? It was precisely because he didn't care about these and only obeyed the king's orders, so he didn't have to care about what to say at all!

Although he was a disciple of Cui Hao, it was a reward for him, not a punishment for him, and it was not for him to go to Cui Hao's house in vain.

Although he accepted Cui Hao's teachings, it was the Majesty who gave rewards and gave him a future, and it was the Majesty who made the Gaoche man stand up and be a man, Cui Taichang was his teacher, but His Majesty was his king!

Jun or teacher, which is more important, you can know at a glance.

Thinking of this, Di Yefei's heart was swept away, and he immediately smiled like a spring breeze: "Yes, what does Your Majesty command, but if there is an order, the final general must obey it."

When He Mulan heard this, he immediately felt so familiar, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Isn't this what Tuoba Tao and Kumoti said when they were worried that she would not be able to do anything to Hugh Tu people, and she and Kumoti showed their loyalty?

Di Yefei finally figured it out.

He is a general, not a politician, how can he not know what path he should take!

Su Hejun also smiled happily, and seemed to agree with his "teachable" He glanced at He Mulan with great meaning, and then smiled: "General Di is very smart, General Hua is a friend who has made a good friend, and it is not in vain for His Majesty to carry a match."

Farewell to the two out of the palace at the moment, Shi Shiran went back to restore his life.

As soon as Di Yefei left the palace gate, he was called away by Cui Hao's family left, rode a horse and parted ways with He Mulan, and went to another road.

When He Mulan returned to the flower house from Miyagi, it was already dark. If she comes back any later, I'm afraid that the guards who patrol Heicheng will arrest her as a prisoner who broke the curfew.

At such a late hour, He Mulan was surprised to find that Changping Fang, where the General's Mansion was located, was brightly lit, and the alley where four horses could walk side by side in front of his house was full of cars and horses, as if he was not worried about the "curfew", and he was even more shocked that his eyes were about to fall.

Changping Fang is either rich or expensive, it is precisely for this reason, so it is impossible to be as crowded as the East and West Market, not to mention that it is getting late now......

When He Mulan quietly crowded through the crowd and walked to the door of the house, two servants of the wealthy family in gorgeous clothes stopped him, squinted their eyes and shouted, "Which one?" Are there any rules? Everyone is waiting outside the door, and you dare to cut the line and go inside?"

HE Mu. [,! Lan scratched his face and asked him sincerely: "I really don't know what the two of you are talking about living here in the next house. What outside the door, etc.? What are you waiting for?"

Hearing that He Mulan lived here, he must also be the son of a prominent family, and there was no competition, the two servants immediately changed their faces and said kindly:

"It turned out to be Lang Jun who lives in Changping Fang, but we misunderstood and offended Your Excellency. My master heard that General Hua's parents had gone to Beijing, so he ordered us to come and visit him with gifts. There were too many people who had no choice but to come, and General Hua's parents couldn't receive so many people at the same time, so everyone could only line up in the order of coming, status and relatives."

He sighed: "This is just to give a gift first, and when the masters of the family come to visit tomorrow, I don't know what it will be like here."

The servant was right.

Naturally, the gift is to send some housekeepers and carriages and horses to come over, and it is good to see the owner and make sure that he is identified. But if you want to visit the door in person, you must have all the cars and horses, and the servants are like clouds, if it is a female family member who comes to visit the Yuan family, then there must be more waiters with the daughters or female juniors of the family.

He Mulan was shocked when he heard this, and asked almost in a panic: "It's just that General Hua's parents went to Beijing, why did so many people come?" It's also too ...... It's ......"

The two servants looked at each other, and were even more sure that He Mulan was not a subordinate sent by other girls' families, and answered questions with a smile:

"You don't know, this General Hua was originally a hero, and now he has to be reused by His Majesty, which can be described as a candidate for Ruyi Langjun in the minds of the ladies in Beijing. In addition, he saved so many women in Hukong Valley before, and Chong Guan was angry and turned red, and the reputation of this pity and cherishing jade spread more widely. The daughters of the world love heroes, not to mention that this hero is neither prodigal nor has a bad reputation, even if he is not handsome and chic enough, he is a first-class good man just by virtue of his character and ability."

Another servant excused himself: "It's just that this general is fighting outside every day, and the girls always can't find anyone, and there is not even a female dependent in the general's mansion, even if you want to move around often, you can't come to the door every day without face and skin, right?" And General Hua has not yet decided on a marriage at this age, and I heard that the previous family affairs were also pushed because the woman couldn't wait, so the masters of each family wanted to directly find General Hua's parents to make peace. The so-called marriage matter, the words of the parents' matchmaker, General Hua himself has no time to look at each other, his parents always have to think about their children, right?"

"This came and went, and as soon as the families received the news that General Hua's parents had entered Beijing, they immediately prepared."

"…… What to prepare?"

He Mullan opened his mouth wide, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

The two servants showed a "you are so stupid" expression.

"Hehe, General Hua's parents are just ordinary military families, so many wealthy families come to propose marriage with dowries, I can't say which girl is engaged, naturally they are preparing a dowry and preparing to propose!"

"What?!"

"Not only that, but there are also people who come to deliver posts. In the past, the female dependents couldn't come to the door, that's because the flower family didn't have a woman in charge, but now the flower mother is here, that is, the main mother, the main mother and the main mother always walk around each other, right? It's also convenient to bring a few women from the family as guests, isn't it? Even if you invite you to take a walk around the house, you will run into a few young girls in the family by chance......"

These servants have been servants for generations, and they know the process of blind dates among their masters very well, and now they are waiting in line to be bored, and they are actually frowning when chatting with Hemulan, and their expressions are extremely rich.

He Mulan was curious and funny, thinking that with Yuan's character, he was scared to death, let alone walking around......

"Hey, General Hua's respect is also sincere, and he has seen it in every family. It's hard for us, and we have to queue up here......"

The older servant exhaled and looked at the crowd in front of him.

"When is this going to be scheduled? I can't say that I will be scolded when I go back, blame us for being late, and the queue is now! "

My God, where is sincerity, her grandfather can't afford to offend anyone, and I'm afraid that her popularity will become bad and she will have a flying reputation, so I can only see it all in fear!

Either refuse the gift, or let the servant at home accept it!

As soon as He Mulan heard that the flower father and the flower mother had been seeing people since the afternoon, and the intestines were immediately knotted, the two of them were not in good health at all, and they were not good at socializing, but nothing could happen!

At the moment, I didn't care if it would attract the attention of others, so I shook the reins when I turned over and Yue Ying.

"Yue Ying, take out your skills, this is even more urgent than taking the head of the general among the ten thousand armies!" She leaned down and whispered to Yue Ying, "Let's rush over!"

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"This Lang Jun, don't do stupid things, there are so many people, you'd better lead the horse and wait slowly......"

The servant's eyes widened, and he looked incredulously at the man and the horse in front of him, and could not help but exclaim:

"Oh my God!"

I saw that He Mulan accelerated suddenly, and Yue Ying's body was like a black shadow inserted into the gaps of many carriages and horses, and he rushed forward with many pack horses that were loaded with goods.

Yue Ying was originally a divine horse, big and big, I don't know how much stronger than these pack horses, for a while there was a big chaos in front of the Huafu Gate, the crowd that was originally lined up was already irritable, and when they saw a "cut in line" to go in, they immediately scolded and scolded, and some were even ready to call the family to use force.

The front of Huafu is so bustling, a number of people and Na Luohun and others are also afraid of accidents, and the strong soldiers at the door are guarding the door, even if you are the prince and the clan, you have to line up obediently for me.

At this time, seeing the commotion ahead, the servants of each family were even ready to make a move, and Luo Hun, the left guard, immediately felt that it was not good, and was about to mobilize twice as many people, when he suddenly saw a black horse flying over the heads of everyone. [,! ]……

Wait a minute!

Na Luo Hun rubbed his eyes.

There are indeed horses flying in the sky!

How can a horse fly in the sky?

"Who dares to make ...... in front of the General's Mansion" Chen Jie was about to exert his might, when he saw the horse that jumped down and looked familiar, he immediately closed his mouth.

"General!"

It turned out that He Mulan, who really couldn't wear it, slapped Yue Ying's ass in a hurry, but who expected this kid to suddenly lose his temper and jump up all of a sudden.

Its long legs are explosive, and it is also irritable age, and immediately crossed the heads of everyone, and the frightened servants of the people fled in a hurry, but it jumped into the open space vacated by others with bad eyes, and snorted proudly.

"Poof......

He Mulan jumped to stand up, and everyone heard Chen Jie, a personal soldier, call her "general", where they didn't know who it was, and they were immediately in awe of her ability to "fly horses". Presumably, when these servants go back to publicize, tomorrow this Changping Fang may be even more crowded.

When He Mulan saw Yue Ying suddenly come here, he was angry and beat it violently, but now there was no other way but to glare at it fiercely, turn over and dismount and want to go home.

Just as everyone was making way for her, a figure suddenly rushed to her, leaning on her body and crying.

"Woo woo woo, Huo Chang helps, I'm tired today!"

This fake crying is none other than a few people who have taken care of the Hua family's parents for so many days.
