"Grandpa—" Mulan threw herself on the dead Flower Arc and cried heartbreakingly.

Zhao Junsheng was also in tears at this time, he knew that Hua Arc had a stroke, and this was suddenly a major stimulus again, it must be a cerebral hemorrhage, not to mention that in this ancient world, even if people who suffered from cerebral hemorrhage in later generations would just leave.

At this time, the maids and family members of the family also knew the news, and they all cried and cried very sadly, the Hua family was good to them, and they were grateful for the kindness of the Hua family.

Hua Mulan has been crying to death, but Zhao Junsheng can't be like her, he must restrain his emotions so as not to mess up.

"Someone, go and call Pei in!"

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng successively arranged for his soldiers, maids and family members to go out to buy paper money, incense candles, white cloth, shrouds, and good coffins, and at the same time forcibly pulled away Hua Mulan, who was crying to death, and asked the family members to carry Hua Arc to the bed.

After a while, Pei Jin hurried over and looked at the dead flower arc by the bed.

"My subordinates have seen the general! What's going on? Today, during the day, my subordinates saw that Master Hua was fine, why did he suddenly ······?"

Zhao Junsheng simply told what happened, and Pei Jin couldn't help but sigh after listening to it, it was really unforeseen that such things happened in a good manner.

"The general summoned his subordinates to come over and ask for orders!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "You are responsible for presiding over the funeral, and the other things will be left to the people below first!" ”

Pei Jin promised: "Obey!" ”

After Pei Jin took over, he immediately began to arrange the arrangement, and with the purchase of the same thing, under his arrangement, the maids of the family began to build a mourning hall, hung white flags in the courtyard, and everyone wore filial piety cloth.

The family members scrubbed the body of the flower arc, changed into a longevity coat and shoes, and put on a longevity hat.

By dawn, the coffin had been delivered, the drum band had invited several, and the flower arc was also put into the coffin, and Mulan's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Some of the men in the army were called over to make a fire and cook, and there would definitely be people coming to pay their respects incessantly, and the guests and helpers could not be left on an empty stomach.

After breakfast, Zhao Junsheng pulled Mulan aside with a tired face, reached out and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"People can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad! Come, wipe your tears, I've got something to tell you! Zhao Junsheng said as he wiped away Mulan's tears and asked her to sit down.

"Mulan, Uncle has gone, we are all sad and sad, but now is not the time to be sad and sad, we have to save the lives of the living! A-Niang and her little brother have been kidnapped by the Rouran people, we have to find a way to save people back! ”

Mulan, who was originally in a trance, suddenly had a spirit, and her eyes instantly regained their brightness, and she immediately got up and ran to her room.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed her, "Mulan, why are you going?" ”

"I'm going to get weapons, I'm going to save A-Niang and Xiaoxiong, I'm going to let Grandpa go with peace of mind, I can't let his old man go on the road with regrets!" Mulan cried again as she spoke.

"Mulan, calm down!" Zhao Junsheng held down Hua Mulan, "There will definitely be many people coming to pay tribute and condolences in the next few days, the court will definitely send ministers to come to condole when they receive the news, and the local governments and town generals will also send people to pay respects, you can't go, you have to stay here!" ”

"According to Huahai, this time the Rouran people dispatched thousands of men and horses, looted hundreds of miles between Huaishuo Town and Wuchuan Town, and took away thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of livestock, they dispatched too many troops, and I am afraid that the rescue will not work if it is handed over to others, I will personally lead the troops to chase, you stay and handle your uncle's funeral, and Wuchuan Town also needs you to stay and sit in town! Don't worry, I will definitely save A-Niang and Xiaoxiong back! ”

Hua Mulan couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself into Zhao Junsheng's arms and cried non-stop.

Zhao Junsheng hugged Mulan and kept comforting softly.

After a long time, Mulan's crying gradually became smaller, and she got up from Zhao Junsheng's arms and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Junsheng, please leave it to you to save people, I ······ I'm waiting for your news! ”

"Don't worry!"

Lieutenant General Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, Cao Xu and others rushed to worship.

Zhao Junsheng waited for them to finish worshipping and rushed back to the barracks with them.

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the 3,000 cavalry was quickly assembled, and these 3,000 cavalry were his original team, with rich combat experience, skilled tactics, and much higher combat quality than the group of recruits who had just been recruited to complete their training.

"Gao Xiu, Cao Jiao, the two of you stay and take turns on duty, Gao Xu will come with me!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers spent two hours preparing for the arrows, seven days of dry food, beans, blankets and tarpaulins were all distributed.

At noon, Zhao Junsheng led the team to set off.

The army advanced in the northwest direction, this road was the only road north of Yinshan to Huaishuo City, only two hundred and fifty or sixty li, if the cavalry used a few horses to rotate and ride as fast as possible, they could reach it in one day, but this was not conducive to fighting after arrival.

Zhao Junsheng chose a medium-speed march, and the future mother-in-law and brother-in-law were not taken away in Huaishuo Town, but on the way to Huaishuo Town in Wuchuan Town, which was one hundred and seventy or eighty miles away from Wuchuan Town, but it was already within the jurisdiction of Huaishuo City.

At the time of the night, Zhao Junsheng and his army had not yet arrived at the place where the future mother-in-law and brother-in-law were taken away by the Rouran people, and Huahai said to him: "General, the place where the master, mother, and son were taken away is still about forty years away from here, but the Rouran people drove them from here to the north!" ”

"How many cavalry did the Rouran have when they were taken captive?"

"There were only more than 200 horsemen, and they ransacked all the villages and pastures near the house of the master mother and brother, and I fell off my horse and fainted while fighting with the Rouran people, and when my subordinates woke up, the mother and son of the master mother and son were gone, and the Rouran people were gone, and the village was burned, so I found a horse that ran away and followed the trail they left behind, and found that they were driving the people and cattle along the river in the northeast direction! The Rourans, returning from their raids, drove the people and cattle to join them by the river! ”

Zhao Junsheng snorted coldly when he heard this: "Hmph, these Rouran people are indeed bold and smart enough, and they actually plundered the border area between my Wuchuan Town and Huaishuo Town!" ”

Gao Xu clasped his fists and said, "General, do you want to pursue it overnight?" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and ordered: "The army will rest for half an hour, send a team of scouts to explore the path in front of the traces left by the Rouran people, Huahai, you go to lead the way, and the other soldiers and horses will follow with me!" ”

"Yes!"

After resting for half an hour, under the guidance of the sea of flowers, a scout team pursued overnight with torches, and Zhao Junsheng led the army to hang five miles behind.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Junsheng led the army to catch up with the scouts, and was at the source of the west bank of the Wuzi River.

Hua Hai hugged his fist at Zhao Junsheng and said, "General, it is here that the subordinates caught up with the Rouran people and drove the people and cattle along the river bank to the north!" ”

"General, the brothers can still hold on, the war horses are fine, and they can still pursue them overnight!" Gao Xu clenched his fists and said.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a moment and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It should have just arrived!"

"Huahai, when did you chase here?"

"Early this morning, about the hour!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered: "After a while, the army will continue to pursue along the river at the fastest speed for two hours, and stop and rest immediately when it arrives!" ”

"Yes!"

The order was then given to continue the pursuit, and the army rested in place for a quarter of an hour, again pursuing the river as fast as it could.

Zhao Junsheng rode a horse and trotted at the front of the team, and then the light of the torches, he saw a large number of horses' hooves, livestock dung, and even several corpses of people who were shot from behind by arrows, which should be young men trying to escape.

The low temperature at night after the autumn harvest was already very low, and he felt that the night was very cold when riding on horseback, and Zhao Junsheng felt that the hands holding the reins were covered with white dew.

Two hours later, Gao Xu hit his horse and caught up and reported: "General, the ugly time has passed!" ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, he immediately stopped his horse, and regardless of whether this place was suitable for camping, he immediately ordered: "The whole army will camp on the spot, and after a while, extinguish all the torches and send out a guard post!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers dismounted, pinned the reins of the horses to the grass by the river, let them graze freely, took out the tarpaulin, spread it on the grass, and then wrapped their bodies in blankets and wrapped their heads together with the tarpaulin, and lay down on the tarpaulin to sleep.

After all of them were extinguished, everyone fell asleep, except for the guard posts a few miles away.

Zhao Junsheng's biological clock was very punctual, and he woke up as soon as the hour came, and the sky was already bright at this time, and the soldiers had slept for two hours.

"Gao Xu!"

Gao Xu immediately turned over when he heard the shout, and ran over to clasp his fists in salute: "General! ”

"Wake everyone up, the scouts will set off in a moment to track, and the army will leave in half an hour!" Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

As Gao Xu picked up the whistle and blew it three times in a row, the soldiers and generals turned over one after another, even if they were still sleepy-eyed, they began to pack up their bags at this time, tied their clothes back to the horses, and then fed beans to the war horses.

When the war horse finished eating the beans, the soldiers had already finished eating and pulling, and then moved the horse to the river to drink water.

"Didi-" The whistle sounded again.

The soldiers quickly got on their horses and gathered, and in only two or three minutes, the three thousand men and horses were assembled, and Zhao Junsheng waved forward: "Let's go!" ”

This time, the army only ran for two hours, and the scout team sent people back to report to Zhao Junsheng: "General Qiyu, I found the Rouran people by the river ten miles ahead!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Junsheng's spirits were greatly lifted, and he ordered Gao Xu: "Pass the order, the whole army will advance at full speed, and then change horses to fight when it is time to fight!" ”
