Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Wang, there are already a lot of 600 garrisons in Tunqi Mountain and Da'e Mountain, and with the size of these two forts, no matter how many troops there are, they can't fit it!" ”

Tuoba Jian still felt that the troops were too small: "You are not bad, if the Rouran army attacks the city, day and night, with this force, I am afraid that all of them will be killed and lose the pass if they can't withstand it for a day, right?" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and explained: "Don't worry, prince! Do you know that in mid-October last year, he ordered the city walls and fortresses of Da'e Mountain, Tunqi Mountain and Nantianbao to be heightened and reinforced, adding a lot of arrow towers, pillboxes and other facilities, and also arranging a large number of obstacles and traps in front of the mountain, narrowing the originally wide mountain road, limiting the number of troops for each attack, and the number of people attacking at one time was only two or three hundred, even if the Rouran people had more troops, they could not exert themselves! ”

"Besides, the soldiers of Huaishuo Town were attacked one after another when they were stationed because they were not good at defending the city. As long as the guards and soldiers are trained in defending the city, it is impossible for the Rouran people to easily break through! Take last year's battle of the Rouran army attacking Nantian Fort as an example, it lasted six days, excluding the men and horses in Huaishuo Town, the total number of people killed in the front and rear of my baggage battalion was less than 100, and the wounded were less than 200, but the Rouran people paid a heavy price! ”

Tuoba Jian listened to Zhao Junsheng's words and nodded, "You are an expert in foot combat, and it makes sense!" This king plans to go to Nantianbao, Tunqi Mountain and Da'e Mountain to inspect and check the specific defense situation, you arrange a time! ”

Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang, there is no need to prepare separately here, the three fortresses of Nantian Fort, Tunqi Mountain and Da'e Mountain have always been in a state of imminent battle, and they are heavily guarded, and they can deal with the attack of the Rouran people at any time, no matter when the prince goes to inspect, these three fortresses are the most heavily guarded!" ”

"To tell you the truth, this king has received news from the imperial court, His Majesty intends to send troops to Rouran this year, the specific time has not been determined, but the location of the troops must be on our line of defense, so we can't have problems with this line of defense, you just know this news, don't spread it!"

Tuoba Jian whispered to Zhao Junsheng, then thought for a while, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Then arrange it tomorrow, first go to Da'e Mountain, then go to Tunqi Mountain, and finally go to Nantianbao!" ”

Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists and agreed: "It's okay to go to Da'e Mountain for a surprise attack, without prior notice, and suddenly go over to see if they are still in a state of imminent battle!" ”

After coming out of the marshal's line, Zhao Junsheng came to the garrison camp in Huaishuo Town, Hua Mulan got the notice, and immediately ran to the camp gate and said with a smile: "Brother Junsheng, why did you come so quickly?" I thought it would be a few days before you came to the camp in Jinling. Let's go to the tent and talk."

Zhao Junsheng followed Mulan to her camp tent, and Li Bao and others, who accompanied him, stayed outside the camp to chat and fart with Oiran and a few pro-soldiers.

Zhao Junsheng took the hot water handed over by Mulan, took a sip and said: "I went to see King Yongchang just now, King Yongchang will inspect the defense line from Da'e Mountain to Nantianbao tomorrow, I have to accompany the whole process, I will spend the night with you tonight!" ”

Hua Mulan's face turned red instantly when she heard this, and she hurriedly shook her hand and said, "No, no, if someone breaks it, it will be really embarrassing!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm just going to sleep in your tent for one night, and I'm not going to do anything else, just put a camp bed next to me, and I promise to do nothing, and I won't bully you, okay? ”

Hua Mulan gave him a blank look: "I don't know you yet?" You have to inch in, it's strange to believe you! ”

Zhao Junsheng played a scoundrel: "I don't care, I'm going to sleep here today!" I'm hungry, go get me something to eat! ”

Hua Mulan was quite helpless when she saw Zhao Jun's life and death, and made up her mind to wait until the evening to find a way to solve this matter.

She went outside and asked Oiran to prepare food for Zhao Junsheng and his party, and Oiran agreed, and it only took a short time to get some steamed cakes and meat.

Zhao Junsheng and the others had a full meal in Mulan's tent and drank another cup of tea, Zhao Junsheng got up and said, "Mulan, I'm going to visit General Wan, he should be in the tent, right?" ”

"It's lunch break now, General Wan is in the tent, I'll take you there!"

The two came to the tent together, and Mulan asked the guards outside the tent to go in to report, and the guards quickly came out: "Vice Adjutant Hua, the general invites you in!" ”

Hua Mulan walked into the camp tent and hugged her fist to Wandugui: "The last general has seen the general!" ”

"Mulan, is there something wrong with you?"

"General, who do you see coming?"

As soon as Mulan finished speaking, Zhao Junsheng walked in, he saw Wandu Gui standing behind the desk, Wandu Gui seemed to have been reduced a lot, and there were faint signs of gray sideburns, it seems that the prison disaster in the past half a year has dealt a big blow to Wandu Gui.

"Humble Zhao Junsheng has seen the general!"

The expression on Wan Dugui's face froze, he naturally knew that Zhao Junsheng was in the defense line of Nantianbao, but he had only been here for two days and Zhao Junsheng rushed over, and this heart had already made him quite emotional.

"It's Junsheng, it's good, it's good to come!" Wan Dugui immediately stepped forward to help Zhao Junsheng up, asked Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan to sit down and talk, and instructed the family to ask Wanquan to bring tea.

Wan Du Gui asked: "You rushed over from Nantian Fort, have you arranged the defense over there?" If you don't have a problem with defense, you can't afford it! ”

"General rest assured, the defense has been arranged!" Zhao Junsheng replied, and said: "Since I went to Pingcheng to see the general last year, there are too many affairs on the side of the lowly position, and many things have happened during the period, and the lowly position itself is difficult to protect, and there is no time to visit the general again!" ”

Wan Dugui waved his hand: "I have already heard about your affairs in the past two days, and I can't complain about you, talented people always have to be jealous, and you should pay attention to it in the future, don't be too sharp!" ”

"The last general remembers the general's teachings!" Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists, hesitated for a moment and asked, "General, what is the matter of Miss······

"Hey······" Wan Dugui sighed, thinking of his daughter, the whole person seemed to be a few years older, "Tong'er's matter, Ben Jiang already knew, I didn't expect her temperament to be so strong, she wanted to hide so that people couldn't find it, but she was inadvertently encountered by His Majesty, His Majesty has no time to take care of her in the past few months because of the affairs of the court, and when His Majesty thinks of her when he is free, I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy to end!" ”

"My daughter has a hard life, she has no mother since she was a child, but now she has ended up in such a miserable end, lonely and lonely guarding the green lantern ancient Buddha ······"

Wan Dugui couldn't help but cry as he spoke.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say, so they were relatively speechless for a while.

After dinner, Mulan ordered someone to set up another camp tent next to her camp for Zhao Junsheng and the others to rest and sleep, but Zhao Junsheng didn't leave anyway, leaving the camp tent for Li Bao and the others to sleep, he really stayed in Mulan's camp tent and didn't leave, no matter how Mulan dragged it out, it didn't work.

Hua Mulan shouted at Zhao Junsheng when she was angry: "Turn around!" ”

"Why?" Zhao Junsheng was puzzled.

"I'll make you turn around, where did you get so much nonsense!"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to turn his back to Mulan, and he didn't know where Mulan found two ropes, so he used one rope to tie Zhao Junsheng's hands behind his back and the other rope to tie his feet.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and shouted, "Hey, hey, what are you going to do?" You don't know how to use a leather whip, do you? I don't have this hobby, really, let's not be so heavy, okay? I really can't bear it! ”

Hua Mulan spread a sheepskin mattress on the ground, took out a horse whip and shook it, the leather whip made a "snap" sound that made Zhao Junsheng's eyes widen, and he was shocked all over his body, shouting: "Don't don't, I really can't bear it, can't I use the leather whip?" ”

"No! You lie down for me! ”

Zhao Junsheng was so frightened that his face was pale, and he hurriedly shouted: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, you let me go······"

Hua Mulan flicked the leather whip again, and the leather whip made a crisp whipping sound again, and Zhao Junsheng was frightened and immediately lay on the sheepskin mattress with his eyes closed, not wanting to see his abused appearance.

The expected leather whip was not drawn, Zhao Junsheng felt that something was covering him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was still a sheepskin mattress.

Mulan walked to hang up the leather whip, walked to the oil lamp, opened her mouth and blew out the oil lamp with a "poof", and the camp tent was suddenly dark.

Zhao Junsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a cold sweat on his body, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but say loudly: "I said Mulan, you can't scare me so much, okay, what are you doing with a leather whip?" I thought you had a heavy taste and liked to whip people, which scared me into a cold sweat! ”

In the darkness, there was the sound of Mulan squirming and undressing, "Hmph, if you are not honest, I will whip you to death!" ”

Zhao Junsheng felt helpless, "You have tied my hands and feet, what else can I do with you?" Besides, you and I are an unmarried couple, what's wrong with making out? Isn't that normal? ”

Hua Mulan immediately said, "Of course it's not normal!" We haven't gotten married yet, so naturally we have to be polite! Besides, if I can't help it, what should I do with your blood and bones in my stomach? This is in the barracks, and we will both be ruined by then! ”

It is not uncommon for sentient men and women to brush off together, the degree of intimacy between the two sides has reached a certain point, and there are really not many people who can brake in time to endure it, if they are greedy for temporary pleasure, if they really sow the seeds and sprout, this bitter fruit is really unbearable for the two at this stage, Zhao Junsheng has to admit that Hua Mulan is much more rational than him, and his self-control is much stronger than him.

Zhao Junsheng didn't struggle anymore, he lay in the sheepskin mattress and sighed, "Hey······ When is this kind of day a head! ”

Hua Mulan was silent for a moment and said, "I now hope that the imperial court can send troops to attack Rouran as soon as possible, as long as Rouran is defeated, we will apply to the upper head to withdraw from the army and return home!" ”

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart when he heard this, retired and returned home? How can it be that easy? He felt that Mulan was still very naïve sometimes. Unless the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north, leaving only one enemy in the south, Liu Song, there would be fewer troops needed at that time, and the army needed would also be fewer, and perhaps at that time they would be allowed to retire and return to their hometowns.
