Chapter 372: Vertical Zi Dare
Now that Lu Shuihu has become his own people, He Mulan naturally wants to ask all the causes and consequences clearly.
Lu Naluo bluntly said that he didn't know who was behind the scenes, but he only knew that the one who came to Liu Song to find the Tiantai Army was a Buddhist monk, and the Tiantai flag was also in his hand.
Buddhism takes care of the Lu Shuihu people a lot, when there are repeated chaos, the Buddhism protects the old and young of the Lu Shuihu people, and will also teach them the languages and scripts of various ethnic groups.
That's why Lunaro and the others were willing to come on orders.
These more than 1,000 people did not have the ability to directly cross the borders of the Song and Wei states, but traveled over the mountains and mountains to the north, and the hardships can be imagined.
According to them, it has been about a month since the people who connected them settled them in a valley in Luliang Mountain, providing them with food, grass and daily necessities.
When they were ordered to go into battle yesterday, they only said that they were going to ambush a Xianbei army, numbering about five hundred, in the hope that they would kill the generals who led the army.
During the days they were on duty in the valley, they not only gave them new weapons, but also gave them a large amount of gold as a gratuity. It was these weapons and honorarium that allowed them to settle down and stay in the Luliang area for such a long time.
He Mulan asked several times, but in addition to knowing that the person behind the scenes might be related to Buddhism, and Liu Song's King Pengcheng also contributed to the trouble, he couldn't find any useful clues.
And what happened to Gai Wu and Yuan Jiawubi before had already let He Mulan know that Buddhism and Liu Song had always been eyeing the Wei State. The former wants to further expand the influence of Buddhism, and the latter is a natural confrontation, and Liang Guo regards himself as orthodox, and it is normal to have some small actions in private.
A group of tiger soldiers buried the pot to cook, because they were afraid that the people behind the scenes would notice that something was wrong, but they hurriedly used some food and hurried to the camp in Xihai County.
The Tiger Ben Army and the Lu Shuihu people were accustomed to rapid marches, but they rushed back to Xihai County in one day, and Li Shun, who came to inquire, found that the five hundred people who had gone out and came back were mighty, and they were so shocked that their eyes were about to bulge, and they didn't even dare to let He Mulan enter the camp.
"Li Yuanjun, these are my captives, and now they have been driven by me, please open the camp gate!" He Mulan was locked outside the camp gate by Li Shun, and shouted impatiently inside.
A group of soldiers marched for a day, and at this time they were tired, so in order to be able to go into the camp and rest for a night, drink some hot soup, soak their feet, so that the war horses could accumulate horsepower, where would they think that they would eat a closed door?
Unexpectedly, Li Shun also shouted and responded across the gate: "General Hua, as the main envoy, I always know who you are bringing, right?" If so many unidentified people enter the camp, what if they have bad intentions! ”
"You man, what do you mean by ill-intentionedness!"
"It's not eating you, what are you worried about!"
Many Lu Shuihu people who understood Xianbei immediately scolded, they were already very sensitive to others looking down on them, and they were even more furious when they heard Li Shun treat them as cats and dogs.
He Mulan knew that Li Shun was the mastermind, and he had to think more than anyone else, and he had a black cauldron on his back and a lot of pressure, so he appeased the Lu Shuihu people behind him and dismounted to negotiate alone.
"Li Yuanjun, these people have an old relationship with my disciples, they are my disciples' clansmen and friends, the so-called do not fight and do not know each other, their skills are very superb, and they are not under the Tiger Army. I don't know what will happen on the way without guidance, but I have more people and more help, and I paid them to keep the mission safe. ”
He Mulan arched his hand to Li Shun behind the door.
"There's a lot of inside stuff in it, please let me go into the camp and talk about it."
It was the Tiger Ben Army who guarded the safety of the entire mission, and Yuan Poqiang hurriedly came after receiving the news again, Li Shun knew that it was impossible for these Tiger Ben Army to listen to him no matter what, no matter how much he stopped him, if he stiffened for a while, maybe the Tiger Ben Army would even drive him out, so he could only go downhill with the steps, and said with some displeasure: "Since General Hua has done the guarantee, I will believe them once." But the grain, grass and baggage we prepared for this departure are all prepared for the Tiger Army, and you are responsible for the food, clothing, housing, transportation, and flower of these thousand people! ”
"Why are you so picky!"
"We fought for you, and we didn't even pack food!"
"General Hua, you said that you were going to pack rice before!"
A group of Lu Shuihu people who heard that they didn't eat were angry and screamed, and they had the meaning that I would take a break if they didn't eat anymore, Li Shun pouted at the door, and just stared at He Mulan's expression.
He knew that He Mulan was born in poverty, and he must be reluctant to give up food and grass by himself with so many Lu Shuihu people. But if the grain and grass of the Tiger Ben Army were to be distributed to the Lu Shuihu people, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army would not do it, and after a long time, there might still be contradictions between the two armies, and the prestige of He Mulan would also decline.
At this moment, no matter how sluggish He Mulan was, he could sense that Li Shun didn't want her to take Lu Shuihu with her.
What kind of temper is Hermulan, and how can he be threatened by Li Shun? She stretched out her hand and grabbed a wooden pillar in the gate, and was about to give Li Shun a little color to see, when she heard a cruel word coming from behind Li Shun's back.
"It's just food and grass for a thousand people, so what's the problem? Li Yuanjun, Lu Shuihu people, we raised them ourselves. ”
Yuan Fang, who was dressed in a green Confucian shirt, walked out behind Li Shun with a smile and bowed slightly to He Mulan.
"Lord, don't come to be harmed, can you be fine?"
He Mulan was about to get angry, and when he saw Yuan Fang casually agree, he immediately let go of his hand and nodded with a smile.
Others didn't know Yuan Fang's ability, but Li Shun, who listened to the government in front of the emperor, knew, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Yuan Fang seemed to be not excited enough, and continued to add: "Because we raised these Lu Shuihu people ourselves, it is equivalent to following the general's private army, the mission cannot command them at will, and they only obey the orders of General Hua." Of course, since it is to protect the mission, of course, it is still focused on the safety of the mission, but the command belongs to the general, can Li Envoy understand? ”
He Mulan made rice, He Mulan gave money, of course, this group of people could only listen to He Mulan. Li Shun originally wanted to drive this group of Lu Shuihu people away, but when he heard it, he found that he had pushed out the good people who could get his hands on him, and his intestines were suddenly repentant, and he was willing to provide food and grass, only in exchange for the command at a critical time.
But the words he said were like water spilled out, and Li Shun could only helplessly brush his sleeves away in order to take care of his old face.
As soon as Li Shun left, the atmosphere in the Tiger Ben army was immediately very good, Yuan Poqiang commanded the Tiger Ben Army to open the camp gate, the Tiger Ben army blew the horn, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate shouted:
"Welcome General Huwei back to the camp!"
"General Huwei returns to the camp!"
"Tiger Ben is mighty!"
One by one, the military orders were passed down, and the backbone of the Tiger Ben Army that spread throughout the regiment returned. Some of the envoys of the mission, who had been relieved to go down to chase after He Mulan, who had been frustrated by the shepherd, were now slightly relieved when they heard the trumpets and cheers outside.
This world is not peaceful, they have to travel thousands of miles, if there is no such general with excellent martial arts, anything can happen.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent nearly 10,000 envoys to cross the Western Regions to Dawan to ask for horses, wasn't he still robbed on the way back, and finally everything was looted?
Lu Shuihu people were originally a little hesitant in their hearts, and when they saw a Tsing Yi scribe inside squeezing Li Shun away in a few words, they were very curious about the Tsing Yi people in their hearts, and when the camp gate opened, Yuan released them to greet them, and He Mulan introduced to Lu Shuihu people that this was her main book, and everyone showed solemn expressions one by one.
This is the person who will have to negotiate the commission with them in the future.
He looks very young and has a kind face, so it shouldn't be too difficult to speak, right?
Lunaro smiled relaxedly.
"I said, how did you get me so much to eat?" Yuan Fang glanced at Lu Shuihu behind him without a trace, and leaned in front of He Mulan and muttered quietly.
"The ambush soldiers who ambushed us on the road turned out to be old acquaintances with my disciples, so they recruited them like this." He Mulan said to Yuan Fang with some humility: "You just said that you can manage the grain and grass of a thousand of them, is the goods we brought enough?" ”
"Oh, that......" Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows, "I'm fooling Li Shun casually, I have to let you in first." ”
He Mulan was so caught by Yuan Fang's words that he slipped his footsteps and almost fell down.
"You actually said it casually!" He Mulan lowered his voice and glanced back quickly, "The rations of a thousand people, and two thousand horses, you actually say that you are fooling people!" ”
"Li Shun doesn't know how much grain and grass we have brought, I am the main bookkeeper, I say not enough is not enough, I say enough is enough. And there are so many state capitals along the road, it is not easy to gather some grain and grass......" Yuan Fang disagreed, "How can there be a reason to fight for the Great Wei, and the general has to pay out of his own pocket." This is the world of Tuoba Xianbei, and it is not the world of your Mulan, of course, the money and grain are from that majesty. ”
"Be cautious, be careful that the wall has ears!"
He Mulan was so frightened that he almost reached out to cover Yuan Fang's mouth, and when he turned around again, he saw that Chen Jie had been spoken by Mangula, and it was Zheng Zong, who couldn't get rid of him now, who was sticking out his ears and eavesdropping!
He Mulan felt irritated in his heart again, glared at Zheng Zong fiercely, and saw that he quickly took a few steps back and plugged his ears with his fingers.
"This petty official is also interesting, but he is a little obscene." Yuan Fang couldn't help but shake his head as he watched his ghostly behavior.
"This kind of person is not easy to use, but there are surprises when you use it well, you have to work hard."
“…… I just don't want to use it. ”
He Mullan paused.
"But I can't get rid of it."
"He is proficient in many Chinese languages and seems to be very clever, maybe he can use it when he is a merchant in Beiliang. Don't worry too much, most of the affairs of the mission are in charge of Li Shun, you are just guarding safety, you can use it if you can use it, and if you don't use it, you can use it as an ornament, and you are not a great character. ”
Yuan is in charge of thousands of households in the Wubi of Yuan's house, where can he look at a petty official who is a translator, even if he once ran errands in front of the emperor.
He Mulan knew that Zong's love was very powerful, and when he heard this, he just smiled bitterly, and first entrusted Yuan Fang to arrange the food and lodging of the Lu Shuihu people, and then returned to his big tent and instructed his soldiers to prepare buckets and water for bathing.
Since knowing that He Mulan is a woman, He Mulan's washing and bathing are personally guarded by Chen Jie and his troops, and even mosquitoes can't fly in, which also makes He Mulan feel a lot more at ease, bathing and changing clothes are more comfortable than before, and there is no need to sneak around.
After He Mulan finished bathing, he went to Yuan Fang to discuss things, and the tent was cleaned up by the personal soldiers commanded by Na Luohun. was carrying the water and cleaning up the room, only to see Zheng Zong suddenly come in, looking left and right curiously.
"What are you doing in here! The general's tent is not to trespass! ”
A pro-soldier looked vigilantly at the paperwork that He Mullan had thrown a few dollars on.
The documents that could be put away so casually by Hemulan were all inconsequential documents, but any documents in the army were secret, so they all glared at him, hoping that he would retreat.
Zheng Zong showed a kind smile and said sincerely: "I have been taken care of by the general before, and I am also on duty for him, I just came over to see what I can do......
He looked down and saw a pile of dirty clothes by the bucket, and his eyes lit up.
"Ah, it seems that you don't have time to scrub this, anyway, I'm idle, so I'll just take it and wash it."
Zheng Zong picked up the dirty clothes and socks on the ground and looked at them with a smile.
"I'm sick, and I'm so happy to wash my clothes."
Several of the guards shook their heads.
"If you want to be so idle, you go and wash, wash it and send it to us."
He Mulan's clothes are now being washed by his own soldiers, and they are not happy not to wash them, and after a long time, He Mullan will follow them.
'Captain Chen should be happy to know that he doesn't have to wash his clothes anymore, right?' ’
Seeing Zheng Zong happily take away his clothes, several pro-soldiers showed a smug smile.
Every time I watched him wash the general's laundry, I felt that the expression was really pitiful.
Also, a good man, who is willing to help others wash dirty clothes and pants and smelly socks.
It is said that Chen Jie accompanied He Mulan to come back from a circle in Yuan Fang, and first asked a few guards on duty where the dirty clothes changed were when he entered the account.
He was an old senior beside He Mulan, and several of the newly promoted guards said with some flattery: "Captain Chen doesn't need to wash today, the housekeeper named Zheng Zong took it away and went to scrub it." He said he wanted to thank our family general for his grace, so he ......"
"Who allowed you to agree? The general said that personal things can be handed over to outsiders? ”
Chen Jie was furious when he heard this, and his eyes slashed at everyone like a knife.
"The general is not a woman, what can't be ......?"
"That's it, didn't you wash it too......
"Can I do the same?"
Chen Jie yelled angrily and ran out with the curtain thrown at it.
***
Zheng Zong took He Mulan's dirty clothes into the account, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find a basin that could be washed, and then he remembered that an entourage like them, if it wasn't for a few days of rest, there would be no condition to wash clothes, and the clothes were all worn dirty and dirty, so they chose a good day to wash together.
Washing is also looking for a creek or something.
"Forget it, don't wash it yet!"
Zheng Zong hugged a pile of clothes, suddenly smiled obscenely, buried his head and face in He Mulan's dirty clothes, and took a deep breath.
Hmm, it smells weird?
Not! It must be the manliness of the general!
Zheng Zong rubbed a few times, but before he could raise his head, he only felt a strong wind hit his head, and then the whole person flew out!
"Are you fucking sick!"
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Hmm, it smells weird?
Not! It must be the manliness of the general!
Mullan: (stunned) I'll kill you!
