Chapter 612: Capital Crimes Can Be Avoided Living Sins Are Inescapable
Hua Mulan only glanced at Fu Zhan, turned her head and ordered Li Bao: "You take three thousand flying troops, two thousand Shenwu troops and one thousand dragon Xiang troops to pursue Mu Kunbu, and after they enter the mountain, block all the roads down the mountain, and completely trap them on the mountain and can't move!" β
"Yes!" Li Bao hugged his fists and turned to leave, and quickly chased after the retreating Mu Kunbu after picking up his troops and horses.
Seeing Li Bao leave with six thousand men and horses, Mulan turned around and looked at Fu Zhan.
"What did General Ben tell you before? You fought very well in the first two battles, why did you go up with your tail in the sky after two battles? β
Fu Zhan knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty: "The last general is guilty of death, the general has cut the last general!" β
Mulan was silent for a few seconds and asked, "How many centaurs are left?" β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· 1,000 Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· More than 1,600 people," Fu Zhan had to say an unacceptable number.
Hua Mulan couldn't help but sneer: "In other words, you lost half of your men in this battle?" β
His tone suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Come on, drag it down, cut it!" β
A few armor soldiers rushed up to hold Fu Zhan and was about to drag him away, but Cui Hao hurriedly stood up to dissuade him: "Wait!" β
A few armor soldiers who were holding Fu Zhan stopped to look at Mulan, only to see Cui Hao clasping his fists at Mulan and saying, "General, people are not sages, who can do nothing?" It is inevitable that people will make mistakes, General Fu has also made contributions before, indicating that he is still a general, it is a pity to cut it like this, General Fu is the prince and the general to cultivate and promote together, it took a lot of energy, it is not easy for him to have today, why not give him a chance to correct, I believe that he will grow up after this matter, please think twice! β
The other officials and generals around saw Cui Hao pleading, and they all pleaded one after another, it is inevitable that the general of the army will suffer defeat, if he suffers a defeat, he will be beheaded, who can be this general?
Hua Mulan listened to the pleas of many people present, so she got off the donkey down the slope and said to Fu Zhan: "If you lose in intelligence and command ability, this general will never punish the crime, after all, people's intelligence is limited, but you lost this time not in command and intelligence, but in carelessness, if you are not careless, how can Mu Kunbu have a chance to succeed in a sneak attack?" For the sake of so many people interceding for you, General Ben will give you a chance this time, and next time you lose the battle because of carelessness, General Ben will not forgive! But don't be too happy, General Ben only said that he would not behead you, but he did not say that he would not punish you! More than 1,400 of your comrades have died because of your carelessness, and you are responsible for their deaths! The first two times you defeated the Murotobu and the Deed Ministry, according to the rules, you should be rewarded accordingly, but now don't think about it, the rewards you received these two times will be converted into pensions for their dependents, and the insufficient part will be deducted from your future salary. Would you have been punished like this, are you convinced? β
Fu Zhan didn't complain at all, he could have such a punishment result, he was already Amitabha, and promised repeatedly: "The last general is convinced!" β
Hua Mulan stretched out her hand and summoned a partial general to order: "You take someone to find all the scattered war horses under Fu Zhan's command!" β
"Obey!"
Only then did Hua Mulan wave her hand at Fu Zhan: "Okay, you take the rest of the soldiers and generals to find the military logistics side to ask for some food to fill your stomach, and set up the camp as soon as possible!" β
"Yes, the last general will retire!" Fu Zhan took the defeated remnants of the defeated army with his head down and went to ask for food to fill his stomach.
Hua Xiong, Liang Yi and Wei Jing planned to sneak away in the crowd quietly, but they were still discovered by Mulan, and a coquettish voice came: "You three roll over for me!" β
The three of them stopped, and Hua Xiong whispered to Liang Yi and Wei Jing: "It's miserable, it's really miserable!" What to do? I think this time if you don't die, you will have to shed a layer of skin."
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Little uncle, let's face the reality bravely! "Wei Jing is the youngest, but he acts like an adult.
Hanaxiong turned his head to look at him, "Will you blame me?" If I hadn't pulled you over, you wouldn't have made a bad impression in my sister's eyes! β
Wei Jing said: "Is it still useful to regret it now?" There is no regret in this world. What kind of person am I, Godmother knows best, you still worry about yourself! β
Liang Yi also said: "I think Wei Jing has a point, he and I are both honest people, if we weren't framed by you, how could we make such a mistake?" You'd better ask for more blessings! β
Liang Yi and Wei Jing walked towards Hua Mulan together, and when Hua Xiong saw it, he had to follow behind the two with a bitter face.
"Meet the general, his subordinates know that they are wrong, and they are willing to accept the punishment!" In the army, Liang Yi and Wei Jing can only be commensurate with their positions.
Hua Xiong drooped his head: "Sister, I was wrong!" β
Mulan was furious: "Who is your eldest sister?" There are only superiors and subordinates in the army, no relatives, if I hear you call me eldest sister in the army next time, you will go back to stay by A-Niang's side! β
"YesΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Checkmate! β
Hua Mulan pointed at Liang Yi and Wei Jing: "You two go to the military judge by yourself and get twenty military sticks each!" β
"Yes!" Liang Yi and Wei Jing hurriedly agreed, and quickly turned to leave.
Hua Mulan pointed at Hua Xiong again: "If you don't have a hippie smile with me, you will be beaten with twenty military sticks and locked up in a small black house for three days!" β
Hua Xiong immediately shouted: "It's okay to beat the military stick, don't close the little black room, I'll go crazy!" β
"Four days!"
"I won't do it!" Hua Xiong shouted again.
Hua Mulan said coldly: "Five days!" Come, drag him down, hand him over to the military judge to give me a hard beating, if the blow is light, the general will remove him! β
Hua Xiong shouted when he heard this: "You are so ruthless, I am your own brother, you are in a small black house for five days, you want my life!" β
Mulan is too lazy to pay attention to him, this kid is too oily, if he doesn't treat him well, he will go to heaven!
After the camp was settled, Hua Mulan sent someone to invite Guo Sheng to the tent and said: "Old general, I want to think about it, we still have to send someone to find out where Mu Kunbu is hiding, as long as we find out their approximate hiding location, it will be much easier for us to take military action, and the possibility of success will be greatly increased, close to such a blockade, it will take too long, and the logistical burden is too great, what do you think?" β
After hearing this, Guo Sheng thought for a while, and asked aloud: "If you send someone into the mountain to investigate, how can you ensure that the scout will be alive to bring back the news?" This deep mountain and old forest is not another place, people who are not familiar with the terrain can easily get lost after entering, if they are discovered by the Kumoxi people, it is difficult to escape back, if they die, how can we get the news and make corresponding countermeasures in time? β
Hua Mulan listened to Guo Sheng's questions, and she didn't know what to do, "It seems that I am too taken for granted and too anxious."
Guo Sheng raised his hand and said, "No, the old minister thinks that the general's idea is good, the old minister will make a supplement, and the general will listen to it and see if it works." That's the case, the old minister thinks that the idea of sending people to sneak into the mountains and forests to explore the hiding place of the Mukun Department is right, the old minister's idea is to follow a group of soldiers behind the scouts, and the soldiers and generals behind them will follow the marks left by the scouts along the way, once they find that the marks are destroyed or there is no mark at all, it means that they have arrived near the hiding place of the Mukun tribe and have entered their warning area! β
Mulan's eyes gradually lit up when she heard this, and when Guo Sheng finished speaking, she said with a happy face: "The old general's words made Mulan suddenly, and it will be worthy of the old spicy!" β
Guo Sheng smiled and said modestly: "The general is falsely praised!" β
"Someone, call the scout team leader to come over!"
The next day, Mulan sent someone to call Fu Zhan over.
"I wonder what the general ordered when he called the last general?" Fu Zhan asked after clasping his fists in salute.
Hua Mulan said: "I discussed with General Guo, and decided to send scouts into the mountains to set up the hideout of Mu Kunbu, and then hang a building of soldiers and generals in the distance of a meal behind them, and also hang another 2,000 soldiers and generals for a meal behind this building, even if this deep mountain and old forest is large, it is limited, and when the search is finished, they will definitely be able to find out their hiding place!" β
"General Ben gave you 5,000 infantry, and you took these 5,000 people to join up with Wei Chi Yandong, and carried out this method, went into the mountains to search for the hiding place of the Ahui clan, and after finding it, annihilated it in one fell swoop, do you have any confidence?"
Fu Zhan immediately straightened up and replied loudly: "Resolutely complete the task assigned by the general!" β
"Very good, you can take two thousand flying bear troops and three thousand divine martial army to go!"
"The last general will leave!"
As soon as Fu Zhan led the people away, Hua Mulan also organized troops to prepare to enter the mountains to suppress, the scouts were ready, Hua Mulan planned to lead the team in person, after all, there were only two thousand people, and no matter how many people there were, they couldn't be used in the mountains and forests, so she didn't feel at ease if someone else led the team.
But Mulan's idea was unanimously opposed by other generals and officials, and everyone disagreed that she, the chief general, would lead the team personally.
Guo Sheng stood up and said: "General, let's let Lao Chen lead the team, Lao Chen is more familiar with the terrain and environment here than everyone else, and he has also fought with the people of Mu Kunbu, so he is familiar with their routines!" β
Hua Mulan waved her hand: "Mulan knows that the old general and you don't want to put me, the main general, into danger, but Mulan is confident that she can find their hiding place, it's not that Mulan doesn't believe in the talent and martial arts of the old general, after all, the old general has been dealing with local government affairs for the past two years, and he doesn't know much about the combat methods of these generals, nor does he know their combat strength, but Mulan has taken them through drills and knows them very well!" β
"After Mulan led the troops away, the battalion was dominated by General Guo, with the assistance of Cui Gong and other officials and generals, and this matter was decided!"
Guo Sheng saw that he couldn't persuade Mulan, so he had to agree, but he called his son over and introduced him to Mulan: "General, this is the dog Guo Da, who has followed the old minister to fight Ku Moxi many times, and his understanding of the situation here will not be less than that of the old minister. β
Hua Mulan looked at Guo Da and saw that he was in his forties, but she was afraid that his daughters would be older than her, she saw Guo Sheng's resolute face, so she had to agree: "Okay!" β
