Chapter 362: Offsetting the merits and demerits

"Mulan, what are you going to do? You're making a mess, put your knife away! ”

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, you have something to say!"

The surrounding Wei generals shouted at Mulan.

He Duo Tie looked at the big knife on his neck with a blushing face, he felt the sharpness of the blade and the murderous aura coming from it, and his face tried his best to remain calm, but his back was sweating with fright.

He moved his gaze from the broadsword to its owner, Mulan, and said in a deep voice, "General Hua, do you know what you're doing?" Are you sure your mind is awake? ”

Hua Mulan sneered, "Hua is very sober, it seems that you are not very sober!" You can break your promise and let go of what you have said as a fart, but I can't do it in Mulan, I promised them to do it, these Rouran captives, I will keep it, if you dare to give an order, I will kill you, if you don't believe it, you can try! ”

The scene became more and more tense, as long as Hedoro gave an order, all the thousands of Rouran captives in the urn city would be shot in an instant, and Hedoro was likely to be wiped in the neck by Mulan.

At this time, Qiu Mu Lingshou picked up the soldiers who were blocking the front and walked over to Hua Mulan and said, "General Hua, the matter of killing these Rouran captives was originally decided by the two of them, and then they asked me what I thought, and I agreed!" These captives must not be killed, otherwise not only will food be consumed, but a lot of troops will need to be sent to watch over them, in case they do not obey the control, they will start to make a mess and flee to the mind, and no one can bear the responsibility for causing trouble! ”

Da Xi Guangliang immediately echoed and said: "Yes, this is also something that can't be helped, we still have combat missions, we can't waste time and troops on these prisoners, let alone take prisoners to fight, right?" If there is another way, Hedong Gong will not be able to speak without words, do you think he is willing to break his word and get fat! ”

Hua Mulan turned her head to look at Qiu Mu Lingshou and Da Xi Guangliang, and said calmly: "Since we have conquered this Fertile Town, even if we want to go north to join the emperor, we can't leave an empty city here, otherwise what's the point of conquering here?" The Zongzi Army and the Shuzi Army each left 500 people, and the Protector Army left 1,000 people to guard Woye Town for the time being, and at the same time was responsible for taking care of these Rouran prisoners, organizing them to cultivate, graze or do other work every day, so as not to let them eat and live in vain, and when the war is over, we will see how the imperial court will settle these prisoners, if you agree to this arrangement, this matter will be over; If we don't agree, we will waste it like this, delay the time to join the main army, and everyone will wait together to be punished by the emperor! ”

Da Xi Guangliang was a little anxious, and said in his heart that this Mulan made it clear that if they didn't agree, they would have to drag them to the funeral together, this person is ruthless, too ruthless, ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself, this kind of person is still less troublesome, and when he encounters this kind of unfathomable master, it is really bad luck.

He hurriedly said: "General Hua, you can't be like this, we have no personal grudge with you, you can't treat me like this, right?" Okay, okay, I agree, I'm willing to keep five hundred! King Yicheng, what about you, say it quickly! ”

Qiu Mu Lingshou looked at Hua Mulan and said: "General Hua, before you commanded my men and horses to break through Huaishuo City, I lost face in front of His Majesty the Emperor and other courtiers, originally I was very jealous of you, but you kid has the ability and responsibility, you can be regarded as a good man, Lao Tzu will give you a face today, leaving a thousand men and horses to guard Woye Town to take care of these worm captives!" ”

Mulan looked at Hedoro, but the knife was not taken down, because Hedoro had not yet expressed his position.

Da Xi Guangliang shouted to He Duoluo: "Duke Hedong, I and the King of Yicheng have agreed, don't take care of it!" It is feasible for each of the three armies to send some soldiers and horses to jointly defend Woye Town, and it is not necessary to kill these worm captives! Besides, it's also troublesome to take away our captured property, weapons, armor, horses, and livestock, so it's better to stay here for the time being and send someone to pick them up when the battle is over!" ”

He Duoluo was silent for a while, his eyes looked at Mulan, and he snorted coldly: "What are you still staring at this father?" Get the knife out of the way! ”

Mulan didn't say anything, and she didn't take the knife away.

He Duoluo knew that Hua Mulan didn't see rabbits and eagles, so he had to wave his hand to the Wei soldiers on the city wall: "Leave sentry and patrol, everyone else has withdrawn!" ”

The order has been issued, the Wei soldiers have collected their bows and arrows and turned down the city wall, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared at once, and the Rouran soldiers who were surrounded in the urn city all thought that they were relaxed and collapsed to eat and gasp.

Hua Mulan took the big knife and hugged her fist and said to He Duoluo: "Grandpa, if there is nothing else, Hua will leave first!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Hedoro's face changed again, "General Hua, you just held Shangguan hostage and wantonly blocked Bengong's order, and you want to leave like this?" Come on, take it! ”

"Yes!" A few pro-soldiers rushed up and took Mulan down.

Mulan's face changed, her eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and with a swing of the big knife in her hand, the two pro-soldiers who had just rushed up were suddenly shot out, and the remaining few continued to rush up to besiege.

Hua Mulan flew three people with two feet in a circle, leaned over and turned the big knife on her back, and the few pro-soldiers who had just rushed up were so frightened that they retreated, she put away the dagger and supported it on the ground, and the whole person flew up and kicked the other pro-soldiers who were about to rush up to the ground.

More than a dozen pro-soldiers were easily cleaned up by Mulan, lying on the ground humming and chirping for a long time.

"How daring!" Furious, Hedoro drew his sword and slashed at Mulan.

Mulan quickly dodged, slashing with a big knife in her hand, but was held up by Hedora.

This Hetara is also a battle-hardened man with a wealth of experience in dealing with the enemy.

Hua Mulan fought with him for more than a dozen confluences regardless of identity, but Hua Mulan was a little impatient, and directly used a strong force, and the move was as heavy as Mount Tai, He Duoluo was slashed three times in a row and couldn't parry, the hand holding the knife was shocked numb, and the last move was directly cut by Mulan The knife fell to the ground, and the blade was close to He Duoluo's neck again.

Hua Mulan put away her knife and looked at He Duoluo, and snorted coldly: "Hua is from Huaishuo Town, and it is the emperor's order to fight with you all the time, even if Hua Mulan is guilty, it will not be your turn to convict!" Today's matter will be written to His Majesty the Emperor and ask for guilt! If other people want to move Hua, they have to ask Hua if the knife in his hand will agree, hum! ”

He Duoluo watched Mulan leave with his entourage with a blue face, but he was helpless, and he was so angry that he gasped for breath.

Da Xi Guangliang and Qiu Mu Lingshou didn't know how to comfort He Duoluo at this time, but they were afraid that the more they comforted, the more counterproductive, so they could only come over and clench their fists in embarrassment and say, "The last general will leave first!" ”

When these people were gone, a fierce light flashed in Hedoro's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Mulan, today's humiliation, I will definitely pay it back a hundred times in the future!" ”

The army rested for a day in the town of Woye, and the soldiers ate three meals a day with a full mouth, and made dry food for six days to distribute to the soldiers to carry on their own.

Early in the morning of that day, Hedoro, Hua Mulan, Qiu Mu Lingshou and Da Xi Guangliang and others left 2,000 men and horses to garrison Woye Town, and led the army to march north to Bigan City to join the emperor.

Tuoba Tao's military action was also very fast, he divided his troops to search, and in just a few days, dozens of large and small Rouran tribes in the Monan region were swept away, capturing tens of thousands of Rouran people, men, women, old and weak, and millions of cattle and sheep.

When Hedoro, Hua Mulan and others led the army to Bigan City, Tuoba Tao also happened to arrive with soldiers and horses.

Bigan City, in the Han Dynasty called the surrender city, the Northern Wei Dynasty called Bigan City, its location in the south of the South Bed Mountain, is the Han Dynasty accepted the surrender of the Huns and built a city.

Most of the area is the Gobi and desert areas, and the remnants of the Jinshan (i.e. Altai Mountains) mountain range extend here, and many Gobi oases were born in this vicinity, so that the Han Dynasty could build cities here.

It is worth mentioning that Bigan City is not a surrendered city during the Tang Dynasty, Bigan City is outside the Saiwai, and the surrendered city of the Tang Dynasty is on the north bank of the Hetao area, Bigan City is a city built during the Han Dynasty to accept the surrender of the Xiongnu Zuo Metropolitan Governor, and it is also the only surrendered city that has really accepted the surrender of the enemy.

Bigan City was originally entrenched by Rouran people, but there were not many defenders, and seeing the Northern Wei brigade of soldiers and horses coming violently, they all abandoned the city, Hedoro and Hua Mulan sent people to pursue, while taking over Bigan City to arrange a guard, clearing all possible dangers for the arrival of the emperor.

After waiting for Tuoba Tao to lead his troops to arrive and set up the soldiers and horses, He Duoluo, Hua Mulan and others were ordered to go to the audience.

"Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Tao looked at the four of them with a smile and nodded, and said with a smile: "You did a good job this time, you were able to arrive faster than me, I am very pleased, I will let people write down your merits, and wait for the end of the war before rewarding your merits!" ”

"At this time, he is the duty of a courtier, and he does not dare to ask for a reward!"

Tuoba Tao asked about the process of this trip again, and Hua Mulan immediately stood up and clasped her fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the ministers and others defeated the Rouran people and captured thousands of people, and the Duke of Hedong had promised not to kill the prisoners or slaughter the city, but afterwards he suddenly repented and wanted to slaughter the captives in the middle of the night. The last general will be guilty of the crime, please punish your majesty! ”

Tuoba Tao's face was a little ugly when he heard this, and his eyes looked at Hedoro, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Hedora stood up and saluted and replied, "Yes!" There are too many prisoners, and it takes a lot of troops to send people to guard them, and it is too troublesome to carry them, and I have to worry about them at all times. ”

Tuoba Tao knocked on the table: "That is the case, you shouldn't have agreed in advance, you are the Duke of Hedong of the imperial court, and your position in my Great Wei is very important, why do you care so much about face?" How ugly is it to say without faith? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty's lesson is that it is the minister's improper consideration!"

Tuoba Tao looked at Mulan, was silent for a while, and said: "Mulan, if you commit the following crimes, you should have been severely punished. ”
