"Mulan, go back!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand at Mulan and left with Cao Jiao.

The two walked in the direction of the camp outside the city, and Zhao Junsheng said to Cao Jiao: "Later, I will go to the Jinling camp to participate in the military meeting, and you and Gao Xiu will stay here to lead the soldiers and horses." Also, send some people to build a pass on the white road, and set up checkpoints in several nearby valleys that enter and exit the south and north of the mountain, so that you don't need to build a strong one, but you must be able to stop pedestrians at any time! ”

Cao Jiao was puzzled and asked, "Dutong, this is not our business, right?" Who knows who will be sent to garrison here in the future, and now that we have built it, won't we make wedding clothes for others? ”

Zhao Junsheng scolded in a low voice: "You know what a fart, the army will go out in a few days, and there will definitely be a large number of caravans coming and going to this transportation artery, as long as we build the passes and checkpoints, isn't it a source of money?" ”

Cao Jiaoxin said that you were doing it for a long time to collect money, and I thought you were trying to guard against Rouran people! He promised: "Yes, my subordinates will arrange it!" ”

Zhao Junsheng saw him, "Do you think Lao Tzu has lost money?" Lao Tzu's fifteen or six thousand men have to eat and drink Lazar every morning, do you think Lao Tzu is easy? Lao Tzu doesn't want to try to make some money, how can he feed you debt collectors? ”

Cao Jiao was scolded by Zhao Junsheng and was ashamed, so he hid his face and left.

······

Jinling Daying, the emperor's palace.

Wan Yutong, who was dressed in plain clothes, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, closed his eyes and kept reciting the scriptures.

Tuoba Tao sat behind the imperial case and looked at her, feeling helpless for a while.

After a long time, Tuoba Tao sighed: "Sister Tong, I didn't force you to enter the palace, why should you be like this?" You refuse to forgive me, as if I had committed a great sin! ”

No matter what Tuoba Tao said, Wan Yutong never opened his eyes, didn't speak, just kept chanting the scriptures.

Wan Yutong's appearance of not entering oil and salt, Tuoba Tao is about to go crazy.

At this time, Zong Ai walked in, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, General Wan has arrived!" ”

Tuoba Tao beckoned: "Let him in!" ”

Wandu Gui approached the makeshift palace nervously, saw Tuoba Tao sitting behind the imperial case, and saw his daughter closing her eyes and chanting scriptures on the side, striding over and bowing and hugging her fists and saying: "Minister Wandu returns to see Your Majesty!" ”

Tuoba Tao raised his hand: "General Wan is exempt!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Tao asked: "I heard from the fifth child that you and that Zhao Junsheng led the troops to fight the Rouran army in Shengle City, and won?" ”

"Yes, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the ministers have recaptured Shengle City and annihilated the Rouran army entrenched there!"

"Good! This is also a good sign, a good start! Tuoba Tao was in a better mood, remembered someone, and asked, "By the way, what about Zhao Junsheng?" I heard that he led his troops with you, and you commanded this battle? ”

Wan Dugui bowed down and clenched his fists again: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, this battle was commanded by Sima Mulan, the minister's deputy general and Huaishuo Town Army, and the combat strategy was also proposed by him!" ”

"Oh?" Tuoba Tao was curious, "You are the master of an army, and you actually let the deputy general and military Sima command, your bearing is really unusual!" ”

Wandu Gui was praised by Tuoba Tao like this, his face was rarely feverish, and he was very ashamed and said: "Your Majesty thinks too highly of Weichen, this time it is the Huaishuo Army and Zhao Junsheng's baggage army and the security army to fight together, just because King Yongchang did not designate who is the main general in advance, and Weichen has few soldiers, so it is not good to grab the position of the main general with a thick face; And Zhao Junsheng has a lot of soldiers, but he used to be a subordinate of Weichen, and he was embarrassed to be the main general, so both of us recommended Hua Mulan as the main general."

"I see!" Tuoba Tao suddenly realized, but he was more interested in Mulan, before the leopard also recommended Mulan as a deputy general and military horse, this Mulan has made great contributions in the Jinling camp several times, it seems that there are still real generals.

Tuoba Tao thought about it for a while, and said to Wandugui: "This Mulan is quite capable, this time I went out to crusade against the worms, I want him to go with me, are you willing to let people go?" ”

Wan Dugui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can take a fancy to him for his creation and blessing, and Weichen is happy for him!" ”

"That's okay, let him come to the Jinling camp to see me after you go back!"

"Yes!"

Tuoba Tao glanced at Wan Yutong, sighed secretly in his heart, and said to Wan Dugui: "A few days ago, I passed by Shanwu County and brought Sister Tong, I always wanted her to enter the palace, but she refused, I and her childhood sweetheart, naturally I can't force her." I will return Sister Tong to you, I hope you will take care of her and don't let her run away from home again! ”

"Also, I once said that if she didn't want to, I would treat her as a sister-in-law! Zongai, proclaim the decree! ”

Zong Ai bowed down and agreed, took out the bright yellow holy decree from his sleeve, read out the content of the holy decree, and canonized Wan Yutong as the lord of Suiyang.

Wan Yutong finally spoke: "Your Majesty, why do you bother to do this? Even if I am the county lord, the end can only be lonely and old, and there is really no need to canonize the county lord! ”

Tuoba Tao seemed to have been poked by her true thoughts in his heart, and suddenly said angrily: "Sister Tong, is your Buddha brother such a narrow-minded person in your eyes?" I can swear to heaven that I will never hinder you from finding your mother-in-law, and if you say who you have a crush on, I will immediately make the decision to marry you! ”

Wan Yutong's closed eyelids moved, and his expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I don't have this mind for the time being!" If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will retire first! With that, he got up and exited the palace.

Wan Dugui's face was embarrassed and clenched his fist to Tuoba Tao: "Your Majesty, the little girl is not sensible, please Your Majesty don't be like her, and talk about her when you go back, this marriage event has always been the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, and it is not her turn to make her own decisions!" ”

Tuoba Tao waved his hand, with a helpless face, "Forget it, you don't know Sister Tong's temper, she has a weak appearance, but her sex is strong, if you force her again, maybe she will do something!" I was also confused at the beginning, and I didn't know how to casually open her mouth to let her enter the palace, but now, I and her have changed from childhood sweethearts and two little guesses who have nothing to talk about to become strangers, and I regret it in my heart! Stop here, and don't mention it again in front of her! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Zhao Junsheng arrived at the Jinling camp, it was already dusk, and he went to see Tuoba Jian first.

Tuoba Jian was eating in the tent, and when he heard that he was coming, he immediately called for someone to bring him in.

Zhao Junsheng saw that Tuoba Jian was eating, and said with a smile: "It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, and the lowly job happens to be hungry, who is that, go get some wine and food!" ”

Seeing him so casual, Tuoba Jian didn't care, but smiled and said, "You're welcome, sit down and wait!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

The soldiers quickly sent the wine and meat over, and Zhao Junsheng ate a mouthful of meat and drank a sip of wine, and his appetite was very good.

Tuoba Jian said while eating: "It only took two days for you to take Shengle City this time, and you wiped out 5,000 Rouran cavalry, which gave this king a big face, and some of the opposing voices in the Jinling camp disappeared, and even the ministers and generals who sued you last time did not look for trouble again!" ”

"This is all a chance given by the prince, if the prince does not give a chance, even if he has the ability, it is useless!"

Tuoba Jian likes to listen to this, he said to Zhao Junsheng with a smile: "Wandu is called by His Majesty, this king called you here to officially inform you, the day after tomorrow has been set, this king as the main commander of the East Road Army will take the east road into Monan, you must prepare the baggage properly between the expeditions, and ensure that the baggage can keep up with the marching speed of the army in time!" ”

"Yes!"

"Tomorrow, Your Majesty will convene all the generals to discuss the specific deployment of troops, you stay here for one night today, and this king has arranged a camp for you!"

Zhao Junsheng promised not to mention it.

After eating, he withdrew from the tent and walked around the camp, intending to go to Wandugui to ease the relationship, but he didn't expect to meet Wandugui after walking a few steps, and Wan Yutong was there.

Zhao Junsheng was stunned, and walked over to hug his fists: "I've seen the general and the young lady!" ”

Wan Du Gui raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

"That······ The lowly duty is here to apologize to the general, yesterday it was the humiliation of the duty, and the lowly duty was not intentional! ”

Wandu Gui: "You are for this?" Oh, I see, I was in a hurry to see the emperor and the little girl today, and I didn't have time to inform you for a while, you thought that I would have seen you like you, and sulked at what you did yesterday, right? Will Ben be so narrow-minded? ”

I can't tell! Who knows what's going on in your heart? Zhao Junsheng muttered in his heart, and said happily with a smile on his face: "The general is magnanimous, I will say where the general will be as knowledgeable as me!" By the way, General, I wonder how His Majesty the Emperor arranged the expedition? ”

Wan Dugui shook his head: "The general plan has been decided, we will go to the east with the king of Yongchang, and His Majesty will lead the army to take the west road, as for how to march and where to meet, it has not yet been decided!" By the way, it's dark this day, and I haven't found a place to stay yet, and my stomach is empty, so let's find a place to settle down first! ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Just now, I asked King Yongchang for a camp tent, so it is better to ask the general and the young lady to go to the lowly post to rest first, and then go to get you two some food first, and then find a way to solve the accommodation matter!" ”

"It's good!"

Zhao Junsheng took Wan Dugui and Wan Yutong's father and daughter to the camp, "The two of you will rest first, and I'll go find the gang room to get some food!" ”

Wan Yutong said at this time: "The women who are vulgar together have not yet solved the problem of food and accommodation, so I will go with you to find some food for them!" ”

Zhao Junsheng was scared, isn't it, your old man brought all the nuns in Xiaosheng Zen Monastery?

On the way to the room, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you ······ I've heard about your vulgar things, why did you come to the barracks? ”

Wan Yutong said helplessly: "The court and the government have confiscated the houses and fields of Xiaosheng Zen Temple, and we women have nowhere to go. ”
