Chapter 283: The Road of Pursuit

Both of them tidy themselves up very quickly, they are both men (?), and they are from the army, no matter how meticulously they pick themselves up, they are like this.

Di Yefei's face was finely smeared with a layer of powder, but because He Mulan used it very thin, it couldn't be seen in a well-lit place. His eyes were covered with dark circles and dark colors in great detail, and a little bit of rouge was smeared on his cheeks to hide his intimidating complexion.

In ancient times, the bronze mirror actually couldn't show anything, so the makeup painted by the ancients was terrible, and it was common for people to wear a white face with heavy makeup.

So when Di Yefei's "light makeup" appeared in the bronze mirror, Di Yefei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, obviously this "makeup" was still within his range of adaptation.

When He Mulan put on Di Yefei's makeup, while thinking about the demeanor of "Mrs. Di Ji" later, he carefully applied it, Di Yefei imagined his face as a painted wall, but he couldn't see anything unusual in the mirror......

Fortunately, Mulan is a man, she won't use these, and she escaped by herself.

But in the eyes of Chen Jie and the others, this General Di was the same as before, not only did his complexion become ruddy, but his face also faintly had a jade-colored brilliance - the quality of ancient powder was actually quite good.

Chen Jie and the others were not qualified to enter the palace, so when they saw Di Yefei stepping onto the BMW provided in the palace and whipping away like a person who had not been poisoned, his eyes were about to fall.

When did his general have this good craft?!

I don't know if I can teach him back, this is the joy of the boudoir!

"Gu Shizhong, I don't know what wind you heard?" A group of ministers muttered quietly outside the temple gate, and when they saw Gu Bi coming, they immediately rushed up.

These ministers are all Xianbei people, so they naturally want to inquire about Gu Bi, a Xianbei important minister.

"I heard that His Majesty wants to set up another army outside the Feather Forest?"

Tuoba Tao is good at taking the lead, so his Yulin army is all elite, although there are only 1,000 guards, but these 1,000 people are prepared with the best weapons in the country, and they are all carefully selected and usable.

In addition to the Yulin Army, there are about 200,000 border guards, local garrisons, military town guards, etc., which can fight at any time.

The strength of Wei's military strength has already occupied the first place among all countries, not to mention that more than 60% of these soldiers are cavalry, and 30% are mixed formations that can be used as both chariot soldiers and cavalry.

Rouran is gone, shouldn't some military households be allowed to return to their hometowns to farm?

Could it be that His Majesty wants to fight again?

"Not one separate army, but two separate armies."

Gu Bi knew that Tuoba Tao had been planning this matter for a long time, and he didn't taboo them to say it, so he told these ministers what they knew.

"The Gaoche people are attached, there are a large number of them, and they can't let so many young people graze in Monan, His Majesty means that the young and strong people will be moved to Guanzhong, adopt a conscription system, give them food and weapons, and fight for our Great Wei after training."

This is also normal, the Gaoche people have attached 200,000, including those who were previously moved by Di Yefei to take the initiative to surrender, and those who later destroyed Rou and then went north to conquer the enemy and surrendered.

But there is no nobleman in Gaoche, there is no leader, only the patriarch, and all the things in the clan adopt the system of "Council of Elders", which is very inconvenient for Wei to manage Gaoche people, and Gaoche people do not want Wei people to really send officials to interfere in their way of deliberations.

As for those old-fashioned?

Tuoba Tao wants a young and strong population that can be used, and those old people are willing to take the old and weak women to play this kind of "hello, I am good" game of play, and he doesn't care.

A group of Xianbei people immediately began to think about how likely it was for their men to take over this batch of high-speed recruits, Gu Bi looked at their expressions, and his face was straight.

"I advise you not to fight the idea of these high-charioters, Your Majesty will not let anyone get involved in this army. If there is no accident, he should personally lead this high-speed team."

"The Gaoche people don't understand the language, so there must always be a noble leader who is familiar with Gaoche dialect and Xianbei dialect, right? You can't train them all day long......"

A minister stepped forward again and asked:

"There are so many soft people, don't you want those soft people?"

There were 300,000 Rouran slaves captured this time, and most of them had to fill the border passes and no man's land to reclaim and serve all kinds of forced labor. Women became official prostitutes, bought and sold in the market, or were given to meritorious men and soldiers without wives. The men of Rouran are also very warlike, although their military discipline has always been very poor......

Speaking of Rouran people, Gu Bi showed a look of disdain.

"Except for their own people, everyone knows that the Rouran people are not suitable for blending into the army. Let's see why Helian Ding fled in a hurry last time, it's not fun to mutiny suddenly in the middle of the battle......"

This is indeed the biggest problem of the Rouran people, they are afraid of death.

The value systems of the armies of the two countries are completely different, and it is simply impossible for two mortal enemies who fought to the death before to suddenly join hands and recognize each other.

"So the Rouran people will only let the Rouran generals lead?" A military general frowned: "These worms are capricious, won't they defect?"

"Your Majesty has your own ideas."

Gu Bi smiled reservedly.

"And there is an army, right?"

A certain important minister from the Dugu family asked with interest: "Total.[,!] It can't be a foreigner, right?"

"No, Your Majesty wants to reorganize the original elite soldiers of Montenegro and turn them into an elite army that can fight at any time." Gu Bi looked at the ministers with some meaning: "Like the Gaoche people, His Majesty is directly in charge, and the number is only five thousand."

"Five thousand?"

When a group of people heard this number, they immediately lost interest.

It is estimated that they belong to some kind of elite unit like the previous "sharpshooter battalion" and "wolf cavalry", and they will be mixed in wherever the battlefield needs them in the future.

Five thousand elite cavalry is indeed the best number to maintain mobility, but a team of such a number can be formed by any major clan at any time, and even the elite soldiers of Montenegro are not enough to move them.

So many people still surround Gu Bi and ask about the high-speed car people.

That's tens of thousands!

Not only Gu Bi was surrounded by people, but Changsun Han, Kumoti, and Cui Hao were also surrounded by a group of courtiers.

The distinction between civil and military officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty is not obvious, most of them are officials who can be officials in the court, and can also go out to fight, the most representative is Changsun Han and Gu Bi, they are both capable of literature and martial arts.

Although Cui Hao has never led the army alone, but whenever there is a big war, Cui Hao has always been with the army, and he is almost the same as the military advisor, and he is a famous military strategist in the world.

They all had a great influence on the army, and some people who heard the news asked about the new army, while more people were more concerned about how to distribute the benefits of this northern expedition, and wanted to win allies to fight for power and profit.

These are the scenes where He Mulan and Di Yefei did not have a chance to meet, and their status determined that they could only stay far away outside the palace, waiting for these humerus ministers to enter the hall before they could enter.

But where He Mullan and Di Yefei stood, it was where the real heroes of the army stood. A group of generals who have won military merits by fighting for life and death, while looking enviously at the officials in gorgeous official uniforms at the front, are strong with each other.

There are many people in the army who know Mulan, and when He Mulan and Di Yefei came, countless people immediately came up to brush their favorability.

"May I ask if your Excellency is General Hua? I am Weiyuan, and I am also a Huaishuo person! A middle-aged general stepped forward with admiration and talked to Mulan generously.

"I hope the general will take care of it in the future!"

At this time, most of the township soldiers in the six towns formed a faction, and Wei Yuan was a Huaishuo person, and he had a relationship with Mulan, which immediately aroused the envy of many military families from other places.

He Mullan had never been so obviously climbed, so he greeted him with some discomfort in his heart, and met the generals under the corridor one by one under his introduction.

Di Yefei's appearance is particularly obvious, everyone knows that Hua Mulan has always taken care of her comrades in the army, especially the incident of breaking into Cui Mansion, Di Yefei has become a name familiar to many people, most of them are from Montenegro, and it is easy to talk to each other, so Di Yefei is surrounded by many people.

If He Mulan is still stretched thin on these entertainments, Di Yefei seems to have a natural aura, even if he doesn't need to say anything, standing there and nodding others will not think that he is perfunctory, as if he should be like this.

And He Mulan, an ordinary-looking person, has a too calm and resolute temperament, if he doesn't pull out a few smiles and say a few decent words, it is easy for others to think that he is dull.

Just when both of them were a little impatient, there was a sudden silence under the eaves.

It turned out to be a middle-aged official who was not angry and arrogant from the group of powerful ministers standing at the entrance of the hall, and he was about to approach them.

The position of the DPRK and China has always been clear, and it will be known by the position they come from. An important minister will not depreciate his identity and run into the team of this group of small miscellaneous fish, even if they are good generals who are about to receive a reward, even if they ascend to the sky in one step, they will not shake the status of that group of people.

Because most of their status does not come from themselves, but from the huge family standing behind them.

For a while, the atmosphere was solemn, and many people looked at the official with curiosity and excitement, and quietly identified his identity from the official uniform.

The official uniforms of the Wei State are either black or purple, and most of those who can use purple are already people with titles and transcendent status. The man, dressed in a Xianbei official uniform, stopped when he walked ten paces in front of them. He Mulan looked in the direction of everyone around him, and couldn't help but skim his face.

This made her stunned.

It was the head of the Horai family, Horaixiong.

He is the prince of Yunzhong County, the wealthy family of Dai County, most of the children in the family are officials, this time the northern expedition is Rouran, and the whole family of He Lai has more than 10,000 horses to follow, which shows the strength of the He Lai family.

Some of the people under the corridor knew He Laixiong, and some didn't, but no matter whether they knew him or not, they didn't dare to make a sound. Don't say that the people under the corridor here, even the nobles on the other side of Gu Bi have looked over here.

He Laixiong looked at He Mulan, who was surrounded by a group of generals, as if he couldn't stand his comfort, frowned and said, "Mulan, come here."

He Mulan inexplicably went over to salute He Laixiong, although the Hua family is not a subordinate of the He Lai clan and has become a military household, but regardless of the status or age of the other party, it is worth He Mullan's respect for him in front of everyone.

What she didn't know was that even such a qualification to show respect was a treatment that many people under the corridor couldn't ask for.

"You come with me, wait for the next court, and you will stand in the fifth column behind me."

He Laixiong looked at He Mulan's strange expression, and said with an unexpected expression:

"Why, you don't want to?"

"It's not that the juniors don't want to, but they don't dare.".

[,! He Mulan said with a sad face: "Isn't this station prescribed by the ceremonial officer?"

"If nothing happens, you'll be in that position in the future." He Laixiong said lightly what he knew, "This is the meaning of His Majesty, you can come with me."

When He Mulan heard that it was Tuobatao's arrangement, he suddenly didn't dare to disobey, and arched his hand to apologize to the person he had just met under the corridor, and then saw Di Yefei's worried look, shook his head at him, turned around and left with He Laixiong.

Di Yefei stood under the porch, watching He Mulan follow He Laixiong step by step, walk to the most lively place over there, stand behind He Laixiong crampedly, and couldn't help but show a smile.

For this fire chief, I'm afraid I'd rather be "besieged" here than judged over there, right?

She is not a person who will cling to the powerful, she will pass, it must be for some reason.

And whatever the reason, it all shows ......

Mulan is about to spread her wings and fly high.

This kind of premonition made Di Yefei a little melancholy, and the people under the corridor were looking at him while whispering about Mulan's luck.

The chattering voices around him were unprovoked, and Di Yefei began to feel irritable.

These five stones are scattered, and it still makes him love Xù always out of control.

"Di Yefei, Mrs. Cui often lets you go."

An unfamiliar looking official trotted over from under the porch on the other side of Mullan, and approached Di Yefei to deliver a message.

Even when he spoke, he carried a kind of reserve, as if he stood proudly above these miscellaneous generals.

Di Yefei had wanted to leave this place for a long time, but the trouble he caused was enough to make Cui Hao disappointed in him, how could it be?

Di Yefei fixed his eyes and looked outside the gate of the hall over there, only to see Cui Hao being cordially talking with the patriarchs of the Gaoche clans.

And Cui Hao and Gu Bi, as "appeasement envoys", have been responsible for arranging the affairs of the Gaoche people, receiving these patriarchs, and expressing their goodwill, which is his duty.

Seeing Di Yefei coming over, his brother-in-law Hu Lu Guangdou beckoned to him, and his attitude was naturally as if Di Yefei should have stood by his side.

Di Yefei's heart was inexplicably warm.

In addition to Mulan, he also has many friends who are inseparable from life and death. This patriarch may not have befriended him for any brotherhood at the beginning, but when he heard the news of his poisoning in Cui Hao's mansion, he was still willing to stand behind him and take advantage of the honeymoon period of Dawei and Gaoche to fight for his interests.

Cui Hao is such an arrogant person, even if he will still teach him well in the future, but this kind of pre-show behavior will not be done.

Di Yefei was even thinking about how to go to Cui's house in the morning and apologized sincerely.

And the request of the Gaoche clan just gave Cui Hao and him a step to gently cross this section.

Thinking that he was not completely helpless, Di Yefei was in a good mood for a while, stroked his clothes, arched his hands to the left and right, and followed the official towards the outside of the hall.

It's just a few feet away, and some people walk through it and spend their whole lives on it.

And how fortunate they are that they have now taken the most difficult step.

Di Yefei walked to Hu Lu Guangdou with high spirits, first made a disciple salute to Cui Hao, and then got Cui Hao's fairly gentle response, and then began to talk with a group of high-speed car clansmen with a lot of confidence.

Hu Lu Guangdou will pull him, naturally because of the value of pulling him, it is likely that he already knows what kind of reward he will get.

At the end of the day, the Riders will not be slaves of Rouran, they will truly stand on their own land with their backs straight.

He doesn't know how far he can go, but as long as he knows that His Majesty still wants to use him, he is not an outcast.

Di Yefei looked to the other side.

Standing among the Xianbei clans, He Mullan was carefully answering many people's questions.

In any case, this step is not as far as it was just now.
