Chapter 503: Resurgence of Rebellion
"Just to take care of the emperor's face, to put tens of thousands of soldiers in danger? That's too much to pay, isn't it? You people don't have a good thing, and you don't take the lives of the soldiers seriously! Hua Mulan said indignantly and walked forward quickly, as if she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, caught up with Hua Mulan and said, "Mulan, what are you angry with me, you actually put me in the same category as them, you are really!" ”
"Then why do you agree with King Changshan's strategy?" Mulan stopped and turned to question.
Zhao Junsheng said helplessly: "If not, do you want me to watch you fall out with King Changshan?" I know your temper too well, and I can't rub sand in my eyes, but will King Changshan compromise with you? ”
Mulan was silent.
Three days later, the army marched out, leaving a few hundred men to defend Luronse.
The route of the march was set, and an army of tens of thousands of horses and horses had to march along the river, and it was not so easy to find a water source after Lulongse.
Outside the pass, this is still the eastern section of the Yanshan Mountain Range, full of lofty mountains, peaks and dangers, sometimes tens of thousands of troops have to walk in the long canyon for a whole day, sometimes it takes a whole day to climb over a mountain.
At this time, the northeast is not smoother than the traffic in later generations, here are barren mountains and mountains, sometimes there is no road to walk at all, in order to allow the army to obtain water in time, the march is almost close to the river, but some rivers will pass through the valley, the soldiers can only lead the horse to step on the soft stones by the river to advance, the speed of the march is comparable to the speed of a turtle.
After two days of marching, Hedoro asked Tuoba Su to lead the way in front as the vanguard of the army, which is called opening the road in the mountains and building bridges when encountering water.
This job was originally done by Zhao Junsheng's Youzhou army, and He Duoluo rushed to do it, which was a little puzzling, Tuoba Su agreed with a puzzled attitude, and ordered Zhao Junsheng to transfer the task of opening the way to Heduoluo's leader.
Zhao Junsheng's mind turned a little to understand why Hedoro wanted to be a pioneer, the pioneer had the task of exploring the surrounding enemy situation and environment, he guessed that Hedoro was estimated to be unable to survive without eating meat for a few days, as a pioneer, it was natural that he could loot the materials of the surrounding villages and towns on the march road to be used as military supplies.
Facts have proved that Zhao Junsheng really guessed correctly, he is not worried about this guy Hedoro, the vanguard is not so easy to be, if the military situation is delayed, it is likely to drag the main army into the trap set by the enemy, so he also sent some scouts to investigate the terrain and situation around the march.
"General, many surrounding villages have been looted, and even some villages have no chickens and dogs, all of them are done by Hedoro's people!" A scout came back to report to Zhao Junsheng.
It just so happened that Mulan was also here, and when she heard the scout's report, she wondered: "No, we haven't seen any villages looted along the way, the villages we pass by are all fine, but the eyes and expressions are not very friendly to us!" ”
Zhao Junsheng said: "Mulan, Heduoluo is also a person who wants to save face, even if he wants to do this kind of dirty work, he will not let others see it, if he loots the village on the march, won't our tens of thousands of troops know about it?" So the places where his men ransacked were the surrounding areas on the march! ”
The scout proved Zhao Junsheng's words: "Yes, the general is right, the villages he sacked are all within ten miles on both sides of this marching route, and they will not delay too much, nor will they be easily discovered by the men and horses of other armies!" ”
Hua Mulan didn't eat any more rice, she got up and ran out of the camp tent.
Zhao Junsheng immediately chased out, but saw Mulan riding a horse and galloping outside the camp, so he had to ride a horse to catch up.
After running for five or six miles, the two came to a village, which was so quiet that they could not hear a rooster or a dog barking.
The two rode into the village, but saw corpses lying everywhere in the village, adults, the elderly, and children, and there were already mosquitoes and flies flying around on the corpses, which were estimated to have been two or three days old.
"Beasts, beasts, beasts!" Seeing this scene, Mulan scolded with extreme anger.
Zhao Junsheng didn't know what to say, this was the barbarism of the Xianbei people, he had known it for a long time.
Mulan suddenly hit her horse, turned around and galloped away in the direction of the camp.
Zhao Junsheng caught up with her and asked loudly, "Mulan, why are you going?" ”
Hua Mulan said angrily: "I'll go to Hedoro and ask him if he really looted the surrounding villages and towns!" ”
Zhao Junsheng immediately sped up his speed and ran over and grabbed her: "What are you doing here?" This is the Yan State, not the Wei State, even if it is the Wei State, he robbed it, and no one will punish him, if you go to him like this, won't it increase the contradiction for no reason? ”
"I don't care, in short, it's not right to ransack the village, whether it's in my Wei country or elsewhere, the villagers didn't offend him, they were looted and killed by him for no reason, he is a beast, I must stop him from continuing to do this! Brother Junsheng, get out of the way for me, or I'll even beat you together! After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she broke free, and Zhao Junsheng sped up and ran away.
Zhao Junsheng slowed down and watched Mulan's angry figure go straight to the leading camp, and some of her own soldiers were turning around to catch up.
Lu Xuanbo, who came up, walked up to Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Why didn't the young master catch up and stop the young lady?" If it is according to her temperament, sooner or later something will happen."
Zhao Junsheng's tone was flat: "Let her make trouble, if you don't let her make trouble, it will suffocate people in her heart, and she will be comfortable when she makes trouble, and Hedoro is indeed not cleaned up, even if something happens, it doesn't matter, isn't there still me!" ”
Now that the Northern Route Army is together, the camp is not separated, but the area is divided, and there is no separation in the middle, and Mulan rushed directly to the leading camp.
"Hedoro, Hedoro, get out of here!" As soon as Mulan arrived at the leader's camp, she shouted and came to the tent.
Some of the leading soldiers and generals came over when they heard the shouting and scolding, and Hua Mulan turned her head angrily: "What do you see? Fuck off! ”
Mulan's reputation has long been spread, and now everyone knows that she has a strong temperament, and no one dares to provoke her easily, these leading soldiers will be glared at and scolded by her, and they all cower and turn away.
Hua Mulan stopped outside Hedoro's tooth tent and shouted into the tooth tent: "Hedoro, get out, you get out of here!" ”
After shouting several times in a row, Hedoro did not come out of the tent, and Mulan jumped off his horse and rushed into the tent but pounced.
She withdrew and grabbed the guard next to her and asked, "Where is Hedoro?" ”
The guard ignored her, and she pulled out her sword and put it on the guard's neck, and the guard couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a cold sweat on her forehead: "The general goes, goes to the king of Changshan!" ”
Hua Mulan pushed the guard away, turned around, jumped on the war horse, and galloped straight in the direction of King Changshan's Chinese army's big tent, but when she arrived at the door, she didn't wait for the guard to report and directly broke in and shouted: "Hedoro, you beast, how many villages did you say you have harmed along the way?" ”
At this time, the king of Changshan Tuoba Su was discussing with his staff about attacking Bai Tan, and He Duoluo had come to ask for battle.
Everyone was stunned by Mulan's sudden rush in, and Tuoba Su reacted and frowned: "General Hua, why did Hedoro provoke you again?" ”
"The prince forgives the sin, just because what Hedora did caused the anger of the heavens and the resentment, and the last general was so angry that he couldn't help it, so he broke in without being informed, and asked the prince to forgive him!"
Hua Mulan did not lose her mind because of anger, she said: "Hedoro, this beast burned, killed, and plundered along the way, and harmed many villages, and the villages that his leaders and horses passed through were often left without chickens and dogs, except for those that could be seen on the march, other invisible villages were plagued by him, Lord Wang, what do you say that a person like him is not a beast?" ”
He Doro was also angry, and glared angrily at Mulan, "Mulan, you crazy woman, what if I, Hedoro, ransacked those villages?" Did Lao Tzu provoke you? Want you to be nosy? You are not Lao Tzu's mother-in-law, why do you care about Lao Tzu? Even if you are Lao Tzu's mother-in-law, you are not qualified to care about Lao Tzu! ”
Mulan was furious, and instantly rushed up with a burst of punches and kicks, Hedoro himself was not Mulan's opponent, and was suddenly attacked by Mulan, and was caught off guard and was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and retreated again and again.
Tuoba Su was furious, these two people actually moved their hands and feet in his tooth tent, which was reversed, and he slapped the table and shouted: "It's really presumptuous!" Someone, separate the two of them! ”
The soldiers immediately rushed up and separated the two with their weapons, and the two of them still yelled at each other, but it was Hedora who looked extremely embarrassed, his helmet was knocked off, his nose was bloodied, his face was swollen, and his hair was scattered.
He Duoluo pointed at Mulan and shouted to Tuoba Su: "Lord Wang, you also saw it just now, this mother-in-law is a madman, she dares to be so presumptuous in the prince's Chinese army tent today, won't he be presumptuous in the Jinluan Palace in the future?" ”
Tuoba Su looked at Mulan with a very unhappy face and said: "General Hua, you don't take this king too seriously, beat your colleagues in front of this king, this is not a street in the market, and you are not a ruffian!" Today, this king gives you a warning, and next time, this king will not show you mercy! ”
Hua Mulan hurriedly said: "The last general will be guilty, and I will never dare to have a next time!" ”
Tuoba Su turned his head to look at Hedoro and scolded: "Hedoro, Hedoro, why are you always a dog who can't change his?" You are a general of the imperial court, your brothers are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you are not the leader of the bandits, and the brothers under your command are not mountain bandits and robbers, why do you want to loot those villages? Isn't the class reward given by the imperial court enough? Isn't the emperor's favor for you enough? When the Yan Kingdom is defeated, this is the land of my Great Wei, and the people here will become the people of my Great Wei in the future! You, you, I think you're just a mess of mud that can't hold up the wall! ”
When others scold Hedoro, he will definitely fight with others, but Changshan King Tuoba Su scolds him, he really can't be ruthless, Tuoba Su has a very high prestige in the clan, and the princes, ministers, and elders of the Tuoba clan are very convinced of him, and Hedoro is no exception.
"Lord Wang, Hedoro is wrong, he will never loot the village again in the future!"
Tuoba Su saw that Hedoro was honest, and it was not good to chase and fight hard, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, the task of attacking Bai Tan will be handed over to you, you go and prepare, this time you have to fight well, don't embarrass this king!" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Hatoro agreed, and turned to leave.
Hua Mulan immediately shouted: "Lord Wang, I don't think Hedoro is suitable for playing white sandalwood!" ”
