Chapter 148: Interception
Wandu Gui was a little anxious, the matter of grain and grass was very important, and he had to borrow food before the remaining grain and grass in the camp were exhausted, otherwise it would be easy to make trouble, he had to try his best to fight for it, and said to the junior colonel of Yuanmen: "Since the king of Pingyang is discussing with the generals, can you let the general enter the camp and wait, you look at the weather, it's strangely cold!" ”
How do you know that the little colonel of Yuanmen said: "I'm really sorry for General Wan, I'm afraid this won't work, you better please go back, there can't be idle people in this Yuanmen, you know the rules!" ”
Wan Dugui's family general Wan Quan was so angry that he couldn't help but draw his sword and shout: "Bold, what kind of person is my general, is he an idle person in your mouth?" If you don't make it clear today, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you! ”
This Yuanmen Colonel's words made Wan Dugui completely understand, it was not that Tuoba Han was not available, but he didn't want to see him at all, so he stopped Wan Quan: "Put away the weapon!" ”
"Humph!" Wan Quan glared at the junior colonel Yuanmen murderously, collected his weapon and retreated to the side.
Wan Du Gui smiled at Colonel Yuanmen: "You don't have to be afraid, since the King of Pingyang has military affairs, the general will not bother, farewell!" ”
Colonel Yuanmen was also apprehensive, and felt a little regretful for the reckless behavior he had just been, his official position was too low, and Wandu was a general, and it was too simple to kill him.
Seeing Wandugui and the others walking away, Colonel Yuanmen immediately returned to the camp to see Tuoba Han.
"Lord Wang, Wandu is gone!"
Tuoba Han nodded, as if remembering something, and asked, "In which direction did he go?" ”
"Looks like it's heading in the direction of the camp in Wono Town!"
Tuoba Han pondered for a while, and after sending the junior colonel of Yuanmen, he instructed the captain of the guard: "You go to the camp of Woye Town, find Tuoba Jian's entourage, and let him pass the word to him, if he returns to Wandu, go to him to borrow food······
"Understood!"
The new Woye Town General Tuoba Jian is a member of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he is not very old, a few years younger than Wandu Hui.
Woye Town was established two years earlier than Huaishuo Town, and Tuoba Jian was already the third town general, whether it was Woye Town or Huaishuo Town, the town generals were almost all appointed by the Tuoba family's clan, or by the close tribes of the Tuoba family, except for Wandugui.
Most of the Xianbei people are rough and uninhibited, and their hair is braided, but this Tuoba Sword is a handsome appearance, with a well-proportioned and shapely body, and he looks full of strength, and his hair is coiled into a Han bun, fixed with a hairpin, which is very different from other Xianbei people.
After Wandu returned to the camp of the garrison army in Woye Town, he was invited in by Tuoba Jian as soon as possible, and before he arrived at the tooth tent, Tuoba Jian greeted him: "General Wan has not come to me for a long time, but today he is a rare guest, please!" ”
Woye Town and Huaishuo Town are neighbors, not too far apart, if the Rouran army goes south in the future, these two towns still need to support each other, and Woye Town is the northern barrier of the Hetao region, once the Rouran army goes south, the first attack must be Woye Town, at that time, Woye Town needs the support of Huaishuo Town, so Tuoba Jian has to express closeness and goodwill to Wandu Gui.
Wan Dugui said with a smile: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I came here today to ask for something!" ”
"You and my brother, if you don't ask for anything, go in and talk about it!"
After entering the tooth tent, the two of them sat down separately, and the entourage stood behind Wandu.
A soldier brought wine and meat, and Tuoba Jian invited Wandu to enjoy it, and the two ate meat and drank wine while talking.
After talking for a while, Wan Dugui shifted the topic to grain and grass: "It's not a secret, I came today to borrow two days of grain and grass from Brother Jian!" ”
Tuoba Jian smiled: "Hey, what should I do, it's just to borrow two days of food and grass, why do you have to run in person and send someone over to say something!" ”
Wan Dugui laughed: "That's not good, I'm afraid that my subordinates won't have enough face!" ”
"Hahaha······ Brother Wan is still the same as back then, come and come, eat and drink! ”
"Please!"
At this time, a pro-soldier walked in and was about to make a report, looking at Wandu here, and hesitated.
Tuoba Jian was very unhappy when he saw the appearance of his own soldiers, and reprimanded: "What's the matter? Tell me something! ”
The pro-soldier hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and whispered two words in Tuobajian's ear, Tuoba Jian frowned when he heard it, and waved his hand to send the pro-soldier away.
The expressions of embarrassment, hesitation, and struggle on Tuoba Jian's face were seen by Wan Du Gui, and Wan Du Gui asked, "Brother Jian, what happened?" ”
Hearing this, Tuoba Jian took a deep breath, hugged his fists at Wan Du Gui and said: "Brother Wan, the junior brother forgot just now, the grain and grass in my camp are only enough for three or four days, and the baggage team sent to Shanwu County to transport grain has not yet returned, so I really can't help it, please forgive the little brother for borrowing grain!" ”
Wan Dugui's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, Tuoba Jian's attitude changed after this pro-soldier came in, and how did this pro-soldier know that he was looking for Tuoba Jian to borrow food?
Needless to say, Wandu Gui understood, it must have been Pingyang King Tuoba Han who sent someone to say hello, and there was also Pingyang King Tuoba Han in this Jinling army to make Tuoba Sword give face.
I can't borrow grain and grass, but I can't turn my face, Wan Dugui barely squeezed out a smile on his face, got up and hugged his fist at Tuoba Sword: "It's okay, Brother Sword doesn't need to take it to heart, I'll think of another way!" ”
Coming out of the camp of the garrison army in Woye Town, the sadness on Wan Dugui's face became even more serious, and Wanquan asked: "General, only the Right Guard Army and the Garrison Army of Woye Town have food here, and we can't borrow grain and grass, what should we do now?" ”
Wan Dugui gritted his teeth and ordered: "Now I only hope that Zhao Junsheng can rush back with the baggage team as soon as possible." Let's go back and convene the generals to discuss the matter, and mobilize the soldiers to dig wild vegetables in the field, the only way we can think of at present is to dig some wild vegetables mixed with the food! ”
"Yes, General!"
Mulan rode all the way, the road surface has not thawed in the morning, the horses did not dare to run too fast on the frozen road, and when the temperature rises in the afternoon, the road surface thaws, and there is too much mud and cement on the road, the horses often slip when running, and the speed is not fast, if it were not for her superb riding skills, I am afraid that I would have fallen many times.
She changed horses and rode on horseback, and only ran more than sixty miles in the afternoon, when she saw that she was almost to the river, and planned to stop by the river, feed the horses some beans, and then cross the bridge.
When he was running, the two war horses fell forward and down one after another, and the Mulan on the horse's back also involuntarily planted it.
Mulan's face changed, her body instinctively reacted in a very short time, she reached out and pressed on the horse's neck, and the whole person flew away from the horse that was falling, made a front flip in the air and landed on the ground, and rushed forward a few steps before dissolving the impact.
Hua Mulan looked back, and saw that there were two filaments less than a zhang apart where the horses were planted just now, and the two war horses were tripped by these two filaments, and this filament was extremely tough.
At this time, the two war horses, whose hooves had been cut off by filaments, were blocked on the ground and kept neighing in pain.
"Hiss-" Mulan's face became extremely solemn when she saw this scene, no wonder the two groups of messengers sent before and after did not return, it turned out that they were intercepted and killed halfway!
"Whoosh ······" A wave of arrows came at without warning.
Hua Mulan instantly drew her sword and swung it impenetrable, and the arrows she shot were knocked away or blocked one by one, and a layer of arrows soon fell under her feet.
"Kill—" With a loud shout, seven or eight masked men rushed towards Mulan with weapons in their hands from behind the thick trees in the woods next to them.
