Chapter 200: Assassination on the school ground
He Mulan was promoted to General Tiger Ben, and suddenly became the youngest general in the army. Although she was also the main general before, compared to the Tiger Benying Battalion, it is not the same.
Half of the cost of the right army was smashed on the tiger ben, which shows the position of the tiger ben in the entire right army.
That's what pleases Muller the most. Once you get to the Tiger Ben, you will spend a lot less money, because the Tiger Ben Army is already organized. Hermulan's trumpets, drums, arrows, etc., were wasted at once.
This made her regret and regret, and finally promised everyone to be in the same fire, whoever had military merits first to the main general's Cheng dù, these things were all given to them.
Among all the people, only Na Luohun was promoted relatively early because of the centurion, and his military merits reached the point where he could be promoted to deputy general.
But in any case, everyone saw how much she spent for her own people at the beginning, and she could save so much money, which can be regarded as a big saving.
There are four lieutenants in the Tiger Camp, namely Nie Qin, Kumenxin, Izumo Naganin, and Karasuma Yu. They are all veterans in the right army, the youngest Izumo Changning is also thirty years old, and Nie Qin is even more forty and two, three years older than General Xia.
A young general under twenty years old in He Mulan suddenly rose to the position of General Hu Ben, even if she has enough military merits and great credit, but for this place in the army, which also depends on seniority, there is almost no difference from Qingyun Zhisheng, so naturally she can't convince the public.
He Mulan used to be a miscellaneous general, and she was valued by many seniors in the army, and she was given all the people who were in the same fire in the past, so that the most troublesome "prestige problem" in the army was solved. But now she has been promoted to General Huben, on an equal footing with most of the generals of the Right Army, and even a cut higher, no matter how much she wants to "take care", she can't take care of it.
Take General Wang Meng as an example, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he is just the same level as the current He Mulan, but in terms of importance and the strength of his subordinates, General Wang is not even as good as He Mulan now.
He Mullan soon felt the pressure from inside and out. She is a new general, she doesn't know any of the Tiger Ben Army, General Hu Ben has to deal with more things every day than she used to, and she also has the qualifications to follow General Xia Hong to the general's account to listen to the military report, and she has more things to learn.
So even if Tuoba Tao Weifu came to the Black Mountain camp privately, she couldn't take care of it so much, her head was about to explode, how could she take care of others?
The emperor is much safer here than in Montenegrin City. There are 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers stationed here, and even elephants that fly in can be shot to death.
But she never expected that the emperor was not afraid of being bullied, and he came to bully others......
On March 13th, a group of angry guys came to the camp in Montenegro.
These people are the Yulin Army from Heicheng, and it is said that they are preparing for the emperor's arrival ten days later, and by the way, solve the problem of the ghost side.
After the Yulin Army only accepts meritorious heroes and nobles, even if it is a concubine in the family, an illegitimate child, or a posthumous child, as long as the family background is innocent, meritorious to the court, and there is a person with the same innocent family background to recommend, you can join the army.
The Yulin Army of Wei is more special than that of other dynasties, because there are too many families in the Great Wei Dynasty who are extinct due to war, and there are still some men in the family who die and have only one child left, and then they will be sent to the battlefield to be extinct, and there will be some places in the military government every year to send them to the Yulin Army, let them go to the Yulin Army, and the state will raise them until they reach the age of being able to fight, and then follow the emperor to the battlefield.
It's much easier to defend in Pingcheng than to survive at the border.
It is precisely because of this that if the soldiers of the Yulin Army talk about combat effectiveness, they are not necessarily higher than the Black Mountain Battalion, but the Yulin Army has strict teaching, and there are famous generals of the Great Wei who take turns to lead the troops.
Whether it is the six towns in the north, the big camp of Montenegro, or the town garrison guarding the place, they all think that their army is the most powerful......
Therefore, I don't know who led the head, it didn't take long for the men and horses of this Yulin army to compete with all parties in the army, and the people led by the other party were extremely powerful, whether it was horse fighting, foot fighting or archery, no one could match him, gradually, the Montenegrin camp knew that there was a powerful guy in the camp, from Pingcheng, who was playing in the Montenegrin camp.
But the idle centurions and brave soldiers in the army have gone, and no one can beat him. If you continue to fight, there is a suspicion of wheel warfare, and the two sides will agree to fight again in the afternoon, and three people will each fight to fight each other.
It's just that all those who can fight have gone to war, and then send someone in the morning is to bring shame on themselves, but no one in the army dares to invite the strong martial arts general, not to mention that the leader of the Yulin Army is also a young man, looking at the age of only in his early twenties, and calling the veteran to compete in martial arts, it is inevitable that he will not win.
It's about the face of Montenegro, and after everyone talked about it for a while, they remembered a person.
The champion of the three armies, Mulan.
Although Mulan is also a general, she has not been in office for a few days, and she has not even been officially appointed, so she is not a general. Mulan is only nineteen this year, and in terms of age, she is still a few years younger than the leader. The most important thing is that Mulan is recognized as a strong martial artist and has a kind personality, even if she asks for it with a shy face, she will not be afraid of being reprimanded.
So, someone who suffered a loss in the morning pulled three or five people to strengthen their courage and ran to the Tiger Camp to see Mulan.
"What? Tell me to go and fight people?"
He Mulan thought that it was a general of the Chinese army who sent someone to pass the word, but he saw the person in a daze, but when he heard such an absurd request, he immediately shook his head again and again.
"I've been busy lately, and I'm really imtimeless, if you pay attention, you can understand that I've fought a few battles with the Tiger Ben Army a while ago, and I really don't want to do this kind of thing again."
Seeing the man's depressed expression, He Mulan frowned. He raised his eyebrows and said: "If you fight in the army, even if you are not invincible, it is nothing, why do you want to be a little daughter like this?"
"The general didn't know, it was a captain in the Yulin Army who came, with a few strong martial arts Yulin Lang, who defeated more than 20 heroes in our army in one morning, we are really ...... I really couldn't get over the face, so I made an appointment to continue the fight again in the afternoon."
The centurion sighed. I don't know what the generals in the camp think, such a long morale to destroy their own prestige, but this group of people actually challenged the ...... in the school field."
"Yulin Army?" He Mulan suddenly had a guess, was stunned, and asked him, "Do you know what the name of that captain is?"
"I've never heard anyone next to him call his name, but they all call him Captain Du." The centurion thought for a moment, "It seems that the generals who are often followed by Cui Taichang are also accompanying him, so they should also be noble-born."
That's what makes them even angrier.
It's amazing to have money and status! If they had been taught by a famous teacher since childhood, they would definitely be able to be so powerful!
When He Mulan heard that Captain Yulin's surname was "Du", he chuckled in his heart.
Isn't Tuoba Tao's pseudonym Du Shou, Ah No, Du Shou?
What did he want to do again, he actually ran to the camp in Montenegro to set up the ring!
Of course, the other generals didn't dare to stop it, most of the generals knew the emperor, and when they saw what he was doing, they were scared, okay?
"I'll go with you in the afternoon." He Mullan couldn't sit still thinking about this." What are the rules for them to compete? Foot combat? Horse war?"
"Is the general really going? Great, General Hua goes, we're sure to win! The centurion smiled happily, "Every time the other party comes out of three people, three people against three people, they cooperate tacitly, and every time it comes to the horse battle, they are always picked off the horse."
"Three?" He Mulan glanced at the eager pro-soldier Barbarian beside him. Even if she has the highest martial arts under her account now, there is still a distance between her and her, Mangu is a veteran, and he is naturally experienced, but he is crazy when he fights, and she really doesn't dare to take him with her.
In case the rise of the fight hurts the emperor, it will be fatal.
"Don't worry about the general, there are two candidates, and they are also strong in martial arts, as long as the general agrees to fight in the afternoon!"
He Mulan thought that there were many strong generals in the left army and the Chinese army, so he agreed and promised to meet in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, He Mulan put on a rock, carried an iron lance, stepped on Yueying and went to the school field, and when he arrived at the school gate, he met the centurion who had come in the morning, and was looking forward to welcoming her into the field.
When He Mullan arrived at the school grounds, he saw that the other two were really not strangers.
One is Li Qing, the Longxi Li family who lost to her, and the other is none other than the deputy general under Kumoti's account, and now Dugu Wei, the son of the head of the Dugu family.
He Mulan touched his forehead and found that he did not have a fever.
Is it the gust of wind that blew Dugu Wei, who rarely joins in the fun?
Dugu Wei saw her coming, approached her with a wry smile and asked, "You also had to come after hearing the other party's name?"
As soon as He Mulan heard this, he knew why Dugu Wei came, lowered his head and asked him in a low voice, "Why are you here?" What about General Kumoti?"
"This kind of thing, how could the general come forward......" Dugu Wei shook his head, "That ...... Hey, that's too bold! "
For a while, both of them were concerned and sighed.
Only Li Qing later, not only didn't know anything, but also was extremely disgusted with the Yulin Army who came to "kick the hall", and he and Hua Mulan made up their minds with a longbow:
"General Hua, General Dugu, these people have no intention of following the customs, they are really too deceitful, we must give them a good look!"
"Uh...... This ......"
"I had a stomach problem in the morning, and I didn't know if I could beat them......"
The two are sloppy.
"How can you be so unmotivated!"
Li Qing glanced at them in surprise, and already regarded them as modest in his heart, "The officers and men in the army have high hopes for us!" "
Now He Mullan smiled even more.
After a while, the "Yu Lin Lang", who looked swaggering and wore silver armor, arrived at the school ground, accompanied by Cui Taichang's generals and the personal soldiers of several generals in the army. The person at the head is the tall and dignified Tuoba Tao.
Although He Mulan and Dugu Wei had already determined in their hearts that the other party was the emperor, they couldn't help but wail in their hearts when they really saw him coming.
When you meet such an opponent, you don't dare to fight, and you don't dare to admit defeat too much, only aggrieved.
Tuoba Tao was in a good mood, and when he saw He Mulan and the others coming, he had the heart to say hello.
"It's General Mulan who captured the ghost party alive? Just in time, learn from Du! "
"This ......"
He Mulan coughed, showing an embarrassed expression, but Li Qing beside her seemed to understand something, and immediately jumped out and shouted.
"General Hua is the commander of my Black Mountain battalion, your captain is too arrogant, come on, win over me Li first, and then talk about the competition!"
"You say I'm arrogant, who are you?"
Tuoba Tao looked at the young general in fish scale armor with interest.
He was inadvertently named for a competition, so he became aggressive, but he never really thought about picking all the way to the point of anger and resentment in the camp of Montenegro.
It's just that he hurriedly said that he didn't compare, and it seemed that he was afraid of them, and when the time came, the Yulin Jun'er Lang would all look at him with resentful eyes. [,! So he can only continue to compare.
Li Qing saw that the other party obviously looked down on him, and snorted coldly: "My surname is Li Mingqing, after the Li family in Longxi, people call Li Shilang!"
Tuoba Tao nodded.
"Oh, got it, Li Fang's son."
"You dare to call your father's name!" Li Qing saw that he called his father as if he was calling his own son, and he was so old-fashioned that he was annoying, and suddenly he bit his silver teeth and jumped into the middle to throw him.
Tuoba Tao also wanted to fight quickly, no bow and arrow, no riding skills, and he faced it with his fists.
Xianbei people also like wrestling kung fu, and hand-to-hand combat is also a common item in the army.
Tuoba Tao ended up in hand-to-hand combat, and two young men also came out of the guards, for fear that the emperor would lose, so they wanted to capture Li Qing together.
"You're so shameless!"
"General Flower! General Dugu! Beat them up! "
"General Li, if you win, let's go back and invite you to dinner!"
"What to do? Up?" Dugu Wei rolled up his sleeves and smiled. Don't you dare to beat that one, show it to the other Yu Lin Lang, my Black Mountain camp is not easy to mess with?"
"Don't you think it's too good to win?"
He Mullan shook his head, reaching out to block one of the guards. I'm sorry, but we can't sit idly by all the time."
A few guards were three to three in the morning, and the other guards knew Dugu Wei, so they didn't go up, these two are the same as Li Qing, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they don't know the powerful people, for fear that the emperor will suffer, so they jumped out, and they deserved to be beaten by He Mulan and Dugu Wei.
Li Qing's martial arts are naturally not weak, but they are much worse than Tuobatao. Tuoba Tao has been carefully taught by famous teachers from all walks of life since he was a child, and he is good at foot combat and horse fighting, even if he is very good at the art of horning, Li Qing is agile, although he has not shown defeat, but he himself knows that it will not take a while and a half for him to lose.
This kid is also wilted, seeing that he can't defeat this Captain Du, and He Mulan and Dugu Wei have already won, they jumped back with a smile, broke away from the battle circle, and said loudly: "Captain Du's ability is really good, he can fight with our General Hua. It's just three against three, you've already lost two, so you don't have to compete anymore."
The three-person competition has always been a win-win game in three games, as soon as Li Qing said this, Tuoba Tao's face gushed out with a strange meaning, and blurted out: "You guys are Tian Ji horse racing?"
Li Qing actually grinned.
"Yes!"
Dugu only saw that Li Qing did not have a brute fight, of course, his ability did not have the qualifications to fight a brute, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood aside with his hands in his hands, and watched the emperor and Li Qing talking nonsense.
He and He Mullan were bored, when suddenly, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere, heading straight for Tuoba Tao in the school yard.
The arrow flew fast and urgently, and when he looked at the direction, it was aimed at Tuoba Tao's head. In order to watch their competition, the soldiers in the school field were surrounded by water, most of them did not notice the danger, He Mulan and Dugu Wei heard a sound, and immediately shouted in their hearts, and desperately went in the direction of Tuobatao.
I don't know how many thorns Tuoba Tao encountered in his life, and when the first arrow was fired, he immediately fell to the ground vigilantly and rolled out.
Poor Li Qing didn't know what was going on, and the person who was still arguing with him just now rolled around him three times and ran away, and he was stunned.
As the first arrow was fired, the second and third broke through the air. At this time, He Mulan, Dugu Wei and Tuoba Tao's other guards had already rushed to the emperor's side, and a few people escorted Tuoba Tao to a place with cover. Seeing that the school yard was in chaos, and seeing that there were so many guards around Tuoba Tao, He Mulan did not follow him, but stayed to catch the assassins.
"Guard the four gates, no one is allowed to go out!"
He Mulan asked a few Tiger Warriors around him to give orders and look for them in the direction where the cold arrow was fired.
She had just witnessed the plot of the gangsters in the army to assassinate Cui Hao not long ago, although she didn't do it later for some reason, but these people were obviously still hidden in the army and could appear at any time.
They were originally in the army, and they were familiar with the terrain, if there were any people who knew Tuoba Tao's identity, it was normal for the school to find out his whereabouts in the morning, and it was normal for them to temporarily want to assassinate him.
Everyone on the school grounds was stunned by such a change.
Some soldiers thought that someone was angry that this Captain Du was too arrogant and spread wild in the Black Mountain camp, so they made a black hand, angrily scolded, and shouted that they had lost the face of the Black Mountain camp.
Some of them were worried that the people in Pingcheng had suffered a loss in the camp of Montenegro and that the matter could not be good, so they went to their respective generals with a worried face to report the matter.
Only a few cautious or clear-headed ones began to look for where the cold arrow came from.
Seeing a group of people looking for them like headless flies, He Mulan immediately shouted at the crowd of onlookers:
"Go find the people who sent the cold arrows and take them down! Don't you know anything but the excitement?"
With great strength, she pushed through the crowd and looked in the direction where the cold arrow was issued, and a soldier pointed to the stone pier not far away and shouted, "I just saw a man in a hurry standing on it, and there are a few people around it!"
The stone pier he was referring to was the kind of big stone lock that could be seen everywhere in the school field to exercise strength, and He Mullan ran over quickly, only to see several large and small stone locks stacked together, piling up a stone pier more than one meter high.
At this time, everyone was watching the competition, looking straight ahead, and few people paid attention to what was happening above. Whenever there is a lively time in the army, there are not many people who climb the flagpole and step on the camp wall, and it is not strange that someone climbs the stone lock.
After he reminded about it, someone again. [,! He spoke one after another: "It seems that I have also seen it, and it should be a crossbow in my hand, not a bow?"
"Why don't you shout when you see someone with a crossbow!"
A soldier next to him asked him with wide eyes.
"Nonsense, there are so many people in the school field, all of them are here to practice martial arts, although it is rare to hold a crossbow, it is not nothing, I also saw someone with a big knife, what am I yelling!"
He Mulan heard the headache, she had previously ordered people to guard the four gates, expecting that the assassins would definitely be among them, and she was not in a hurry at this time, and took a large number of sergeants of the right army to search one by one.
Wei crossbows are scarce, most of them are collected by Han generals and Gaomen, even if ordinary soldiers in the army see someone holding a crossbow, they will not trouble themselves, on the other hand, who wants to get such a weapon, it is difficult to abandon it lightly.
After a while, all the lords who got the news brought people with them, but Hermulan just held the door, otherwise they would go in, and some of the lords knew who was assassinated inside, and they only took it as an order from Tuobatao, and stood obediently and did not leave, while some did not know what was going on, and scolded Hermulan through the barracks of the school yard.
He Mulan turned a deaf ear to all of this, and it was not until one of the guards came and told him to send someone to Kumoti to bring his troops, and they realized that something was wrong.
Who is Kumoti? King Yingchuan, the Tuoba royal family, the commander of the Yingyang Army in the army, can support a Tiger Ben general to find General Yingyang, how can it be done by ordinary Yulin Army?
In an instant, there was silence outside the school field, and it happened that Kumoti also received the news and brought someone to come, seeing that it was He Mulan who personally guarded the gate, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, praised her, and brought someone into the school field with a knife and a gun, and went to the Dianjiangtai to escort her.
"General Hua, you are also from the Black Mountain Battalion, so let us know some movements...... "A general of the Right Army claimed to have a good relationship with her, and asked softly: "Which one is inside?" Did it hurt at all?"
He Mullan shook his head.
"Generals, you'd better disperse. It's bad for you to gather here."
The people in the school yard are obviously allowed to enter and not to go out, and these generals are still squeezing their heads to drill inside, and when the time comes, they will all be left inside for investigation, and the Black Mountain camp will be really messed up.
Now most of the people left here are soldiers watching the excitement, but if even the generals come in, who will take care of the daily chores? Who restrains his own soldiers?
Some generals listened to her words and knew what she said, and took her kindness and strode away, as if they had not come, but more people had the heart to see the situation, and only stayed away from the big school field, and did not leave.
After a while, Cui Hao came, and he also brought the Heavenly Master Kou Qianzhi of the Heavenly Master Dao. When the two entered the gate of the school field, they saw that He Mulan was personally guarding it, and they immediately looked sideways.
Cui Hao was even more sure that this "Mulan" was the emperor's henchman, so he was more polite to her, and he arched his hand when he entered.
He Mulan's eyes stared at Kou Qianzhi motionlessly, trying to see something wrong from his face, but the latter still looked like a fairy-winded bone, seeing her looking at him, he also touched his beard, and said with a smile: "General, but what is the dirt on Lao Dao's face?"
If it's really acting, this acting is too good.
He Mullan sighed and stopped looking at him.
On the stage, Tuoba Tao's face was pale, he never thought that there would be assassins who would make a desperate bet and make a move in this big school field!
There is also an assassin in the camp in Montenegro, and he can know his identity and wait for an opportunity to attack. This shows that the Assassin in the Montenegrin camp had at least spent time in Heijo and knew what he looked like.
Such speculation made him shudder even more.
How many secrets does the Black Mountain Camp still have? Is there anyone in Yingxiao who is deliberately causing chaos behind the scenes?
Cui Hao's assassination did not continue later, and for what?
Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi hurried over, and they were greeted by a guard holding a few crossbow arrows on the platform.
"Your Majesty, all the crossbow arrows are here."
There were very few crossbows in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the grassland people used more bows, and the crossbows were manufactured precisely and easily damaged, and they were not manufactured in batches, only some gate valves had them, so he asked people to take the crossbow arrows back.
Few people know that Tuoba Tao is also an expert in the study of weapons.
The guard was about to step forward with his crossbow arrows, but a wide robe suddenly stood in front of him, blocking his steps.
The guard looked up, and saw the benevolent Kou Qianzhi stretching out his hand to probe his vein, checking the pulse for a while, and said with a sigh of relief: "This general had better go and wash his hands now......
He turned back to the emperor and bowed.
"Your Majesty, these arrows are highly poisonous, you'd better not touch them......"
