Zhao Junsheng suddenly looked up at Wan Dugui, "Military master, don't say that we didn't take that batch of gold, even if we took it, so what?" As a trophy, together with the batch of gold and all the grain and grass materials, weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows and war horses are ours, and now we have returned all the baggage that the Rouran people stole from the Jinling camp to the various armies, which is already very face-saving, but someone still wants to use this batch of gold to rectify us, it was originally ours, how can we talk about embezzlement? Aren't they afraid to chill the brethren by doing so? ”

Wan Dugui's face changed slightly, and he patted Zhao Junsheng's shoulder with a deep groan: "Junsheng, Mulan, these are just excuses deliberately made by some people, do you think they really care about that bit of gold?" Mountains of gold in their homes! Their purpose is nothing more than to use this to rectify you, and this is also to blame you for being too popular recently. ”

After a pause, Wan Dugui's tone changed: "Now there is only one way to get you out of trouble, otherwise this matter will continue to ferment, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for you!" ”

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan glanced at each other, and Hua Mulan muttered: "I don't know if the military master can end this matter?" ”

"When the Rouran army came over, our army's vigilance and defensive measures played a very little role, and the reason for this was that they first uprooted the Tunqi Mountain Fort, and they advanced too fast, and then distributed an attack at dusk, so that the Right Guard Army was severely damaged, and An Dashuai will be held accountable for this! We can say that this battle with the Rouran army was designed in advance, so that the Rouran army can kill the Jinling camp here to lure the enemy deeper, and the two of you leading the army to set up an ambush in Tunqi Mountain are also acting on orders! ”

Speaking of this, Wan Dugui swept his eyes at the two of them, "In this way, first of all, your charge of violating military regulations and attacking without authorization will not be established; Secondly, An Dashuai has changed from guilty to meritorious, he will be grateful to you for this, and order to suppress all unfavorable words and deeds deliberately aimed at you, and naturally no one will push the disappearance of gold on you, those Xianbei generals, which one is not a rich country? They won't really care about the money, and once An Dashuai speaks, they will keep their mouths shut, and no one will trouble you anymore! ”

Understood, everything understood, Zhao Junsheng is not a little chick who doesn't understand anything, when Wan Dugui said this, he immediately thought of An Yuan, this matter must have started because of An Yuan, An Yuan wants to change his unfavorable situation and avoid being held accountable, so he must deal with Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, the direct commanders of this night raid and victory, Wan Dugui is just a middleman, what benefits did An Yuan receive to work so hard, it was intimidation and threat, and he was playing a good boss on their side!

After figuring out this layer, Zhao Junsheng suddenly felt chills all over his body, and he found that he didn't know much about Wandugui, at least he never knew that Wandugui had such a terrifying side.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Mulan, Mulan was very angry at this time, she was a person who couldn't rub sand in her eyes, let her reverse black and white, open her eyes and talk nonsense to coax the court, she couldn't pass the level in her heart.

Hua Mulan clasped her fists and said to Wandugui: "Lord, I can do without merit, but the soldiers can't do without merit, this is their glory, many soldiers may not have such a big victory in their military career, even if this kind of victory is only once, it is rare for them!" Also, I can shut up and not take the initiative to tell the truth, but what if the court sends someone to investigate? ”

Zhao Junsheng immediately held down Hua Mulan, hugged his fist at Wandu Gui and said: "Military master, we have agreed to this matter, whatever the military master says, if the imperial court sends someone to investigate, his subordinates believe that An Dashuai will have a countermeasure!" ”

Hua Mulan got angry and shouted, "Brother Junsheng! ”

Zhao Junsheng raised his palm and signaled Mulan to calm down and calm her down.

Wan Dugui looked at the two of them and nodded: "Okay, Ben will help you mediate this matter!" If you report to the imperial court according to what General Ben just said, your merits will be reduced a lot, and I believe that General An is willing to compensate you in other aspects, do you have any other requirements? As long as it is not excessive, General Ben will do his best to make it happen."

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "For merits, rewards or something, please look at it from the military master, there is only one small request from the subordinates!" ”

"You say!"

"The military master also knows that his subordinates have captured a batch of war horses from the Rouran people, and his subordinates want to ask the military to allow his subordinates to sell these horses freely to civilian merchants!"

Wan Dugui was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help pointing at Zhao Junsheng and laughing: "I will know that your kid is a master who likes to be greedy and cheap!" According to the regulations, the captured horses that are suitable for military horses cannot be sold to the people, and the general knows that you want to sell these horses to the private merchants to get more money, right? ”

Zhao Junsheng was noncommittal.

"How many horses do you have left?"

"Five thousand!"

Wandu thought about it for a while, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "This way, this time the Right Guard Army lost a lot of horses in the battle, and I will go to tell An Dashuai, presumably he is willing to buy this batch of horses in your hands at a price twice as high as the market price!" ”

"In this way, the subordinates will thank the general!"

The price of horses in the north is much lower than that in the south of the Yellow River, and a high-class horse can be sold for six gold when the price is highest in the south of the Yellow River, and four gold when it is the lowest, and only the best horse can be used as a military horse; In the north, there are too many horses, and the demand for horses is not large, and even high-quality horses can only be sold for two gold.

Thanks to the incentive mechanism of the Northern Wei court for the army, all the captures were privately owned by the generals, which made many soldiers and generals who had won battles from nothing to very wealthy people, especially those middle and high-level officers and generals, many of whom became billionaires after a battle.

What is the concept of 5,000 war horses? At twice the market price in the north, a horse sells for four gold, and five thousand horses can sell for twenty thousand gold. Of course, this gold is not Zhao Junsheng alone, he only accounts for 30%, Hua Mulan accounts for 30%, and the remaining 40% will be distributed to Mo Na Loujin and Xu Bulie.

Coming out of the tooth tent, Hua Mulan was extremely angry at Zhao Junsheng's promise to return to Wandu: "Brother Junsheng, how can you agree to this, this matter is obviously a fraud and fooling the court!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look around, and saw that there was no one around, so he said, "Mulan, don't you understand what General Wan said just now?" Our official position is too small, our status is too low, and we don't have a strong backer behind us, so what if we don't want to? They didn't lose much to you by doing this, but your credit was reduced, but Yasuhara didn't appreciate our affection, and he will definitely promote you in the future! Also, you have to understand that it is not us who deceive and fool the court! If we don't agree, they can still cover up all the truth, and we have offended General Wan because of this, and we will have a hard time in the future! ”

Mulan pursed her lips and didn't make a sound.

Two days later, at dusk, Yasuhara sent the gold to the baggage camp and took away 5,000 horses.

Zhao Junsheng and his subordinates Pei Jin, Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Xue Andu and others watched the people sent by An Yuan to deliver the gold take away all the war horses, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"It's easy now, these five thousand horse mouths are really powerful, and it only took two days to eat the forage that Lao Tzu had stored for two months!" Zhao Junsheng sighed.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the camp, Zhao Junsheng saw the horses again, and Hua Mulan came over from the opposite side, and he waved his hand: "You guys go back first!" ”

Everyone clasped their fists and bowed and turned to leave.

Zhao Junsheng greeted him with a smile: "Mulan, why are you here?" How many days off are left? ”

Hua Mulan smiled: "Where is there still time to rest, General Wan urged me to rush back to Nantian Fort as soon as possible yesterday, I am here to bid you farewell, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the lake to talk, and stay for dinner later!"

"Hmm!"

The two rode to the lake four miles away, tied the horse to a poplar tree, Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand, Mulan blushed when she saw this, but still reached out to hold it, and the two held hands and walked together by the lake.

"Mulan, what do you think of General Wan?" Zhao Junsheng said as he took Mulan's hand and shook it.

Hua Mulan hesitated, she didn't want to talk about her boss behind her back, but after thinking about it, Zhao Junsheng was her fiancé, not an outsider, and what the two said would not reach the ears of outsiders, so she thought for a while and said: "I always feel that General Wan is too utilitarian!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "Not only is it too utilitarian, he looks vulgar as a general, but his scheming is also very deep, just take the incident two days ago, if he really treats us as henchmen, he can tell us directly, but he is both threatening and intimidating, and pretending to be a good person!" ”

Hua Mulan stopped and turned to look at Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, how did you talk about this?" Did you have the idea of changing the court? ”

Zhao Junsheng thought of Wandugui's character, and couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, and shook his head: "Don't say that there is no suitable new owner who is worthy of allegiance, even if there is, how can you easily change the court?" First of all, it will not be easy to pass that level in your heart, and secondly, it will leave a reputation of disloyalty to the world! Famous ministers and generals of the past dynasties occasionally serve the two masters, but they are also forced to be helpless, not in a desperate situation, as long as the brain is not confused, no one will do this! ”

"Poof", Hua Mulan laughed out loud and said, "Brother Junsheng, don't be too demanding, who in this world is not flawed?" Who can be perfect? According to your standards, I'm afraid that the emperor is not worthy of your loyalty! Okay, okay, don't worry about this matter anymore, you teach me to fish, if you can catch a fish, I'll cook fish for you tonight! ”

Zhao Junsheng happily agreed: "Okay! ”
