He Mulan contacted the Tiger Army, and the mental outlook of the entire Tiger Army was also changed. Not only did the remaining Tiger Ben army resume their previous drills, but the banner of the "Wei" state in the camp was also erected, and the envoys put on a guard of honor again, as if this oasis was used as an embassy in the camp.

This trade road was an important road, and the caravans passed through the oasis, and soon, the oasis was garrisoned by Wei people, and the news that the Wei mission was not destroyed also spread.

Some people even said conclusively that they saw the general of Wei and the prince of Beiliang discussing things together, and it seemed that the prince of Beiliang was also rescued.

Feng Heng's urgent letter immediately set off from Qin Khan City, and asked for help from the surrounding states and counties and Pingcheng, hoping that a large army would be stationed nearby to protect Hemulan's army and retrieve Princess Xingping's dowry. The desert is closed and the news is troublesome to transport, but in seven or eight days at most, the army near the city of Chin Khan will depart.

Although the Tiger Ben Army suffered heavy casualties, after all, they were the army that had been stationed in Montenegro for ten years, and during the ten years of fighting with the Rouran people, they were used to seeing all kinds of life and death.

The only remaining politicians in the camp began to drag their crippled bodies, thinking that they would use this matter to seek the greatest benefit for the Wei State, and if Queen Meng and the fake prince operated it well, they didn't need to do anything at all, and Bei Liang himself would help the Wei State pave a qiē road.

"Now the general must write a few letters to inform all the states and counties along the way of Beiliang, our mission has an accident due to the ambush of the queen of Beiliang and the horse thief, there are Lao Sangtou, Yanzi and Queen Meng as witnesses, and the previous incident of Queen Meng leading the team to ambush the horse thief and destroy the mouth, these things cannot be covered. We have to put pressure on Bei Liang and let them come out to settle this matter on their own! ”

An envoy spat and expressed his opinion: "Let the King of Beiliang send troops to escort us back to Pingcheng!" Let the King of Beiliang send troops to dig up the dowry for us! Let the King of Beiliang find the missing princess for us! ”

"Fuqu Bodhi must have been hidden for Queen Meng, the prince is more important to us than the queen at present, although it is okay for us to insist on saying that the fake is true, but no matter what you say, it is best to really have it in your hands......" The other envoy scratched his head in annoyance.

"How can we make Queen Meng relent? and no punishment can be used. ”

"General Hua, this matter will be handed over to you!"

Liu Zhen looked at He Mulan with an ambiguous expression.

"Me?"

He Mulan was dumbfounded.

"I haven't learned how to extract confessions."

"Queen Meng has a great affection for you, and only in front of you is she a little good. What's more, in the past few days, Queen Meng has been taking care of General Hua personally when she goes to the toilet and sleeps, and she wants to come to ......"

Liu Zhen's laughter became more and more obscene.

"Queen Meng is over fifty years old, but she is well maintained, and her temperament is strong, and we have all heard of General Hua leading various girls to fight in Pingcheng......"

The meaning of the words is that there is a lot of charm from the sixty-year-old lady to the six-year-old girl, all of them are killed, maybe there is a miraculous effect.

Hemulan was not well.

Queen Meng was a woman, and as a captive, she was supposed to be treated preferentially because of her status and gender, but because her martial arts were too strong and the city was deep, He Mulan was very worried about others guarding her, so she personally guarded Queen Meng most of the time.

The people and horses of the Tiger Ben Army are all men, and Queen Meng wants to eat, drink, pull and scatter, and it is impossible to tie it all the time, He Mulan has to care a little more, this is the same as how she took care of Princess Xingping before, she is a man after all, and His Majesty also knows that if it is rumored that someone else is having an affair with the princess or the queen, it is really difficult to tell if it is true, but she will have some rumors at most, as long as Her Majesty knows what is going on, she can't move the fundamentals.

She couldn't tell others what she was thinking, so she was good to Princess Xingping before, and now she is good to Queen Meng, and there will inevitably be some scandalous rumors.

In this era, men's abilities are often associated with birth/breeding/ability, and the ability to put a sister, obviously there is no shadow, in order to boast of the high charm of their own generals, strong means, and good body, plus the boring days of the march, often can produce a lot of yellow stories in the quilt that hurt when they listen to it.

Many of them are just just jokes and listen to them, in the past, Chen Jie and Mangu often joined in the fun, since they knew that He Mulan was a woman, the two of them beat people as soon as they heard this kind of pornographic story, and gradually there were fewer stories that were spread randomly.

And now that the Tiger Army has suffered a great blow, and he can't take revenge on Beiliang immediately, his heart is full of resentment and anger, so he can only greet the women of other countries and take advantage of them verbally.

Not only the Tiger Army, but even the embassy had some such tendencies, and Queen Meng's character was also degraded to the lowest, and He Mulan even heard someone call her a "poisonous woman" and a "demon woman" in private.

He Mullando took care of Queen Meng a little, and even guarded it himself, but he was afraid that if any of the Tiger Ben soldiers in righteous anger had died of his comrades, he would sneak into the tent where Queen Meng was imprisoned in the middle of the night and slaughter her directly.

Liu Zhen thinks that Queen Meng is different from He Mulan and others, which is a big breakthrough, so he hopes that He Mulan can "sacrifice" one or two for the sake of the overall situation, to please Queen Meng and let her speak.

He Mulan didn't bother to negotiate with Queen Meng, he just wanted to quickly take the dowry and return to Pingcheng to prepare for the westward expedition......

"General Hua, Queen Meng wants to see you."

A small soldier spread the word outside the tent.

Everyone in the tent showed an expression of "you have to come on", and He Mullan, who watched it, fled with his tail between his legs and ran away in a gloomy manner.

"You say, how long will this stabilize Queen Meng at most?" Liu Zhen waited for He Mulan to go out, sighed and looked at Yuan Fang, "It is impossible for Beiliang to sit idly by, as long as the news of Queen Meng here comes out, at most three or five days, Beiliang's army will arrive." ”

"Now it depends on how quickly Pingcheng comes, we have been delayed here for nearly a month, Pingcheng should also receive the letter, according to the temper of that Majesty, there must be some deployment, I can't say that the troops in Beijing and the surrounding areas have been mobilized, and it is not necessarily ...... to send envoys to go on the expedition."

Yuan Fang did not doubt this.

"We must stay here to attract the attention of Bei Liang, otherwise once the soldiers and horses in the country are mobilized, Bei Liang will have something to deal with."

"Why don't you tell General Hua directly?" Then Luo Hun really can't understand, if they don't explain it like this, won't the boss know that there is resentment?

"General Hua definitely wants to return to China with the Tiger Ben Army now, or fight against Bei Liang in a dignified manner, but for us, the evidence is still a little insufficient, there are too many variables whether the Bodhi prince is fake or not, we must take advantage of this opportunity before the situation completely turns against us, otherwise once Bei Liang changes to a friendly princess and sends troops to escort the prince, we will lose this opportunity."

Several of the envoys were full of sorrow.

"It's not that we want to hide it from General Hua, but we are worried that General Hua wants to avenge the Tiger Army too much......"

Since it is a false and wronged snake, there are naturally endless lies and bluffs, maybe Queen Meng will be put back in exchange for something, maybe the fake son will become the real son from now on, and it is possible that the lives of thousands of tiger soldiers will be maximized in the hands of the ministers of Pingcheng to maximize their final contribution......

Next, there is the time for power struggle, which is not General Huwei's strong point.

"Let's wait for what Kyochu means." Yuan Fang appeased Na Luohun, "We are all just courtiers, how we should act in the end, it depends on the will of Your Majesty, maybe Your Majesty will be angry and directly send an army to raze Beiliang?" ”

"That couldn't be better!"

Na Luo Hun said angrily.

***

Queen Meng had been waiting, waiting for Mulan to ask something from her mouth.

She expected that Mulan would be so courteous to her and personally guard and take care of her, except for worrying about her escape or safety, she must have some other plans.

However, two days have passed, and no matter how obedient she is, Mulan has not shown anything unusual about her.

He treated her like an elder in a friend's family, although polite, but there was not much communication at all, which made her stomach feel like her plans and plans were touching air.

According to the speed of Frustration and Mengxun, knowing that she was attacked, it is impossible that she has not moved until now, and the biggest possibility is that something has changed in Gu Zang.

This change is so big that Gu Zang can no longer take care of her safety.

thought of what he had said before when he and Frustrated Muqian dug out their hearts......

Queen Meng leaned back, feeling as if she had dug a pit and buried herself.

And twice.

"You're looking for me?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Queen Meng was thinking about He Mulan, and He Mulan had already stepped into the house, looking at Queen Meng with a puzzled face.

Because of Hermulan's request, neither the guards inside the tent nor the guards outside the tent were allowed to speak to Queen Meng, nor were they allowed to meet any of her demands, and the whole tent was empty except for two blankets, and she could not even commit suicide, and any request had to be passed on to Hermulan.

This also led him to come more diligently.

"What are you going to do with me?" Queen Meng couldn't hold back any longer, and her previous speculation made her even more upset, "Do you want to ask Beiliang for ransom, or simply take me to Pingcheng?" If you want to insult me, I won't steal it! ”

"Queen Meng, you have to figure it out, it was you who designed us first, the Tiger Ben army died thousands of children, and the Wei delegation and the Beiliang mission almost didn't survive...... "He Mulan lowered his face coldly, "If my country and Beiliang go to war, there will be a river of blood on this road, Queen Meng, you are the sinner of Beiliang, don't say it as if we are persecuting you!" ”

"I didn't know that General Hua was so articulate."

Queen Meng seemed to smile, "But now that your country is at war with Beiyan, I heard that the war has entered a stalemate, and it is impossible for the ministers of your country to allow a war on two fronts." This matter is my own plan, Bei Liang will hand me over at most to get rid of it, and the worst thing is that Bodhi's son will be abolished, but I think, your country has spent so much effort, you shouldn't just think about bringing a deposed prince back to China, right? ”

"What are you talking to me for so much?" He Mulan didn't need "you", and looked at Queen Meng with a wary heart, "What are your plans, say it generously, I am a rough person, I don't understand your roundabout words!" ”

Queen Meng paused, as if she didn't expect He Mulan to be so calm, her face turned whole when she heard this, and she said directly: "I can admit that the fake world you caught is Bodhi, if my guess is right, you have to use that fake for real." I can also go back to Pingcheng with you, and let you convict me, but the matter of the horse thief, I hope it will end with the horse thief, and no longer involve the Meng family......"

"Those horse thieves are really pitiful, and they will be lost when you are used up."

He Mullan scoffed.

"That's not what I meant, and you may not believe it, but I've never arranged for the old mulberry to trick you into the Windy City and suffer from the sandstorms. I got the news that they would send someone to make a hole in the sand that had been designed in distress, steal Bodhi out, and then contact me. ”

Queen Meng had a cold face, "I don't want my son to go to Pingcheng as a hostage, and I'm going to take him away, since it's an escape, of course, the smaller the movement, the better, why do you want to cause so many things?" ”

"But things have come to this point now."

Hermulan shook his head, "From the moment you plotted, you broke our covenant, and I will not believe anything from you anymore. The son of Fuqu Bodhi should be free now, then, I wish him good luck, and in the next time, he will not be found by the people of our country......"

She said something that made Queen Meng even more frightened: "As for the matter of saying that the minister will not allow our country to go to war at will, then you don't know our Great Khan. The Great Khan sometimes does things first, and then he plays them......"

She smiled maliciously and grinned at Queen Meng: "Do you think Fuqu Bodhi can escape?" Once Beiliang is destroyed, it is impossible for our country to allow an exiled prince to be in a foreign country, whether it is to exert pressure on the countries or send people to hunt down, the rest of Bodhi's life will be spent in a hasty escape, incognito, and there will be no more peaceful days. ”

"You!"

Queen Meng covered the wound on her throat, and was just about to roar and suppress her feelings, and said calmly: "Now that the war is worth the loss, there are obviously ready-made horse thieves as scapegoats, which is good for both countries, and I can also assist the Wei State in planning Beiliang, so why should you choose the road with the greatest loss?" ”

She was right, as long as all the kidnapping of the prince and the deception into Windy City were framed to those horse thieves, the matter could be resolved peacefully, and Queen Meng's capture could be said to be a misunderstanding when she was suppressing the bandits.

Beiliang sent another princess and relatives, in order to make up for the loss of the Wei State, this time the dowry of the relatives will only be more, and it may even be possible to exhaust the strength of the whole country.

After Queen Meng's return to China, her status was undiminished, and she was able to help Wei to rebel, make internal responses, and even launch an armed coup d'état if necessary.

However, only if ......

"Where is Bodhi?"

He Mulan remembered what Liu Zhen had just said, and asked him in a low voice.

Queen Meng was silent, and after half a sound, she replied: "I will not hand over my son, since you have a false son, it is the same ......to use him."

"Are you fools to us?"

He Mulan is too lazy to talk to her anymore, Queen Meng is a military general on the surface, but in fact she is still a politician in her bones, no wonder she can endure it for so many years.

If it was her, she would kill the monarch and run away the moment she began to turn scum, how could she bear it!

"We once had a covenant, but you tore it apart. Now you don't want to accept the lesson and make up for the mistakes you have made, but you just want to use the transaction to smooth out what you have done and keep the position of the Meng family and yourself......"

He Mullan closed his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was the naked tiger army on the hill.

"My answer is, no!"

He Mulan looked at Queen Meng, whose face was ashen, and forced out a sentence from between his teeth: "I don't care what you want to do at all, I must avenge the revenge of the Tiger Ben Army." Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but I don't have that spare time......"

"I'm just going to fight for the day!"

***

No one knows what He Mulan and Queen Meng discussed that day, only that the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army guarding Queen Meng have been as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood since then. Queen Meng was guarded by no less than a hundred people, almost all of whom surrounded the tent, and guarded her more strictly.

Lao Sangtou was also imprisoned by the Tiger Ben Army, forcing him to explain his reasons and record his confession, so as to clear Lu Shuihu's suspicion.

This old man still has a little conscience, and he originally wanted to be hard-mouthed, but when he knew that the Lu Shuihu people were likely to be treated as a miscellaneous and inferior person because he was deprived of his land, he finally said the arrangement at that time.

Most of the Meng family didn't know that Queen Meng was going to run away with Fuqu Bodhi, and they only thought that it was to let Wei have one less bargaining chip to control Beiliang, so they didn't do anything when planning this matter, and even considered weakening the strength of the Tiger Ben army.

The matter of Windy City was revealed by him, and it was also he who built the Meng family to do this, but everyone thought that the wind in Windy City would cause a little trouble to the Tiger Ben Army at most, or lose some baggage, causing such large-scale casualties, no one expected it.

If it weren't for such a big wind and sand, the Meng family would not be in a hurry to cover up the truth of the facts, just if Bodhi was stolen, it wouldn't shake the Meng family's army at all, and maybe it would be secretly rewarded by the Beiliang royal family.

Every qiē is an accident, but the drastic changes brought about by the accident are too unacceptable.

Knowing that they were really unlucky to meet a natural disaster, the members of the Northern Wei mission were hateful and sad, Princess Xingping and Bodhi did not know life and death, He Mulan ordered to take out the treasures of Windy City first, and as soon as the Tiger Ben army was dry, they kept going back and forth to the oasis, while guarding Windy City, using camels to transport back treasures like ants moving, while constantly urging Qin Khan City to send troops to meet and leave the desert as soon as possible.

On the eighth day after capturing Queen Meng, the envoys of Beiliang arrived at the oasis and conveyed the will of the King of Beiliang.

However, this King of Beiliang is no longer depressed.

The day after Queen Meng left Guzang, she was chased by a large army led by Meng Xun, but due to old age and frailty, her body could not bear the burden of the rapid march, and finally died in the middle of the way.

Fuqu Muqian was ordered by the clan to go to Fuling, because the Fuqu Bodhi prince disappeared in the wind and sand, and the country supported Fuqu Muqian to ascend the throne on the grounds that "the country cannot be without a king for a day".

In other words, now Queen Meng is worthless, and she has become the "Empress Dowager Meng".

So many days are enough to turn Beiliang upside down, and Fuqu Muqian made a move to "draw salary from the bottom of the kettle" and directly took the first army of Wei.
