After dinner, the heavy rain was still falling, and Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan stood side by side under the eaves.

The maidservant quietly took a piece of clothing, and Zhao Junsheng took it and draped it on Mulan.

"Mulan, when we get to Jixian County, let's send someone to Wuchuan Town to pick up my mother-in-law and Xiaohuaxiong, and ask my mother-in-law to take care of our marriage!" Zhao Junsheng took the initiative to come forward.

As a first-time wife, Mulan also wanted to get married earlier, but she shook her head after thinking about it, what a terrible thing to say!

"It's only been more than a year since Grandpa's death, and the three-year filial piety period has not yet expired, and getting married now will inevitably cause gossip, or wait for the three-year filial piety period to pass before getting married, Brother Junsheng, what do you say?" Hua Mulan turned her head to look at Zhao Junsheng and asked.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and felt that he was too anxious, and agreed: "You are right, half of the filial piety period has passed, and I don't care about another year and a half, just follow your wishes, wait for the three-year mourning period to pass before getting married!" ”

Just when Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan rushed back to Jixian County together, an urgent court meeting was being held in the palace of Yanguo Dragon City.

In order to distinguish it from the former Yan, Western Yan, Southern Yan, and Later Yan established by the Murong clan, the history called the Yan State established by Feng Bayong and Gao Yun as the Heavenly King as the Northern Yan.

Gao Yun was supported by Feng Ba and others and ascended the throne soon after he was killed by the favored ministers Liban, Taoren and others, and then Feng Ba's subordinates Li Sang and Zhang Tai killed Liban and Taoren, and established Feng Ba as the king of heaven, still using Yan as the national name.

Feng Bao reigned for thirteen years, two years ago (430 AD) when he was seriously ill, his concubine Lady Song wanted to put her son Feng Shouju on the throne of the king, Feng Ba's brother Feng Hong received the news and led troops to break into the palace and killed Mrs. Song and Feng Shouju, and Feng Ba, who was originally seriously ill, was scared to death by his younger brother Feng Hong's actions.

Then Feng Hong took the opportunity to ascend the throne in the Jinluan Palace, claiming to be the king of heaven, and immediately after he ascended the throne, he immediately sent people to spread the news in the streets and alleys of Longcheng outside the palace, saying that Feng Ba died, the crown prince Feng Yi did not serve in front of the car, and the ministers did not rush to the funeral.

The crown prince Feng Yi led the guards of the East Palace to resist the attack of Feng Hong's army, but was defeated and captured, and Feng Hong ordered people to force Feng Yi to commit suicide with poisoned wine.

Of the five Hu and sixteen kingdoms, only the three small countries of Qianliang, Xiliang and Beiyan were established by the Han people, and all the others were barbarians as emperors, while the two generations of heavenly kings of the Northern Yan, Feng Ba and Feng Hong, were the Han people of Huhua, among which Li Wei, the Taizu of the Western Liang Kingdom, was respected as the ancestor by the later Tang Dynasty royal family.

On the throne, Feng Hong knelt and sat down, his hands on the imperial case, his eyes swept over the ministers in the palace, "Zhuqing must have known the purpose of the widow Xuanzhaoer and others entering the palace, just six days ago, a Wei cavalry crossed the border and entered the territory of my Dayan to burn and plunder, attack the city and do all kinds of evil, more than a dozen large and small cities in the right Beiping have been breached, the officials and soldiers will be killed and wounded heavily, and countless people and livestock have been taken captive. It's really unbearable! The widow decided to send troops to attack the Wei army, I don't know what Zhu Qing thinks? ”

Feng Hong ascended the throne for two years, and there was no outstanding achievement, first abolished his original wife Wang, and then abolished the prince Feng Chong born to Wang, so that he could guard Feiru, and then canonized his wife Murong as the queen, and made Feng Wangren, the son born of Murong, the crown prince.

That's not all, he killed all the more than 100 sons of his brother Feng Ba, and none of them survived.

There was no shortage of people in the court, and the crown prince Feng Wangren immediately stood up and said: "Father, the Wei State is really too deceitful, and the sons agree to send troops to attack and expel the Wei army and attack Yuyang County, which belongs to the Wei State!" ”

Shen Xiu, the supervisor of the middle book, and Yang Zhe, the servant, stood up in turn and echoed: "The king, the ministers and others also agree to send troops to give Wei Guo a little color, otherwise he Tuoba Jian thinks that my Great Yan Kingdom is easy to bully!" ”

Shan Yu Youfu Gu Ni stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The king, the minister is willing to lead the troops to share the worries of the king!" ”

According to the system of Northern Yan, the prince was canonized as the big single Yu, under which there are four auxiliary officers in the front, back, left and right, and the two assistants are in charge of civil affairs, and the left and right assistants are in charge of military affairs, and they each command the Han soldiers and barbarian soldiers to which the prince belongs.

Feng Hong was very happy to hear that so many ministers agreed with his decision, so he asked: "Okay, since all the ministers agree to send troops to teach Wei a lesson, I don't know how to send troops?" How many troops are to be sent? ”

As soon as the ministers heard this, they knew that the matter could not be changed, and that it was certain that troops should be dispatched, so the ministers whispered to each other.

Duke Yongning, General Wei, and Shangshu Zuo Servant shot Zhang Xing stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to attack Yuyang of Wei State, you must first deal with the Wei cavalry that penetrated deep into our country this time.

According to the spies, the number of this cavalry is not much, a total of more than 1,000 horsemen, but the action is like the wind, it is difficult to catch its traces, Wei Chen suggested that a fine cavalry each with three horses to the Wei cavalry to chase after the cavalry, and then with a large army to advance to the east, not to give this Wei army the opportunity to jump into the hinterland of our country, if there is a chance to encircle this cavalry, and then wave the army eastward, take advantage of the Wei army's unpreparedness to cross the border in one fell swoop into the territory of Yuyang, and catch them off guard! ”

Zhang Xing has followed the Feng brothers for decades and is a loyal veteran, acting vigorously and resolutely, and has rich combat experience.

Feng Hong was very relieved of Zhang Xing, and no longer solicited the ideas and opinions of other ministers, and directly ordered: "Okay, Zhang Qing, the widow will give you 20,000 infantry cavalry, appoint you as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, take Gu Ni as the vanguard, and Yao Zhao, Qin Du, Feng Yu and others as deputy generals to lead the army!" ”

Gu Ni, Feng Yu, Yao Zhao, Qin Du and others, who were named, stood up one by one, stood behind Zhang Xing, bowed down and hugged their fists together, and received the order: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Three days later, an army of 20,000 people under the leadership of Zhang Xing, Feng Yu, Yao Zhao and Qin Du set out from Longcheng to the west of Liao, and the vanguard Gu Ni led 3,000 cavalry, each equipped with three horses, and arrived at Feiru at a very fast speed.

The Northern Yan Kingdom put the right Beiping and Liaoxi as Youzhou, and took Feiru as the place to govern, and today's Youzhou Thorn History is Feng Chong, the eldest son of Feng Hong.

Feng Chong is not favored, this is something that everyone in the Yan Kingdom of the whole north knows, and Gu Ni is a person who is the crown prince Feng Wangren who is the right assistant of Shan Yu, and Feng Chong is a hostile relationship, he led the army to Feiru and instructed Feng Chong to be angry, quite arrogant, not only let Feng Chong prepare wine, meat, grain and grass for his generals, but also openly occupied Feng Chong's official office, and let Feng Chong offer a concubine.

Feng Chong saw that the ancient mud soldiers were in full power, and he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, so he could only swallow his anger.

At night, Feng Chong sat in the lobby of the backyard with a long beard and a short sigh.

Guo Yuan, who accompanied the army, walked over and asked, "Why doesn't the eldest prince rest and sigh here?" ”

Feng Chong hurriedly got up and said; "It turned out to be Guo Shangshu, Xiao Wang is polite!"

"The lower officials don't deserve such a big gift from the eldest prince, a capital crime!" Guo Yuan hurriedly stepped aside and asked, "The eldest prince sighed so long and short, but is it because of the rude behavior of the following of that ancient mud?" ”

Feng Chong felt ashamed, and said with great shame: "Let Guo Shangshu smile!" ”

Guo Yuan was also quite indignant about what Gu Ni had done, "The eldest prince has been wronged, and the lower officials must report this matter to the king and seek justice for the eldest prince!" ”

"Thank you very much!"

After Guo Yuan left, the lord Bo Zhang Chi came over and arched his hand: "Prince, what is this Guo Yuan doing?" ”

Feng Chong snorted coldly: "It's nothing more than a cat crying mouse fake compassion!" ”

After speaking, Feng Chong remembered his situation, couldn't help but burst into tears, and cried to Zhang Chi: "I think that I am the eldest son of King Yan, and I have been bullied by a dog slave so far, what kind of face do I have in life?" Zhang Qing, what do you say Xiao Wang should be, Xiao Wang is living a good life! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel pity when he saw Feng Chong's appearance, and said to Feng Chong: "The king is extremely displeased with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness wants to count on the king to administer justice for you, but I am afraid that it will not work, and my subordinates have a plan to relieve His Highness's hatred, but this strategy, my subordinates dare not say it, for fear that His Highness will punish him."

Feng Chong waved his hand: "Just say it, no matter what you say, Xiao Wang won't blame you!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi agreed, and immediately said his thoughts, "Your Highness, since you can't count on the king and the imperial court, your subordinates suggest that you use the Wei army to eradicate the ancient mud, which can not only relieve the hatred in your heart, but also eradicate one of the arms of the crown prince Feng Wangren!" ”

Feng Chong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Zhang Chi muttered in Feng Chong's ear for a while, Feng Chong's face kept changing when he heard it, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The so-called non-toxic husband, since they are unkind, don't blame me Feng Chong for being unjust!" You do it right away, and you must keep it secret so that no one can notice it! ”

"Understood!" Zhang Chi took his leave and turned away.

Northwest of Lingzhi County, on the east bank of the water.

"Captain, we've caught a Yan Army spy!" A soldier with a few soldiers and a Yan soldier came over to report to Bai Jinguang.

Bai Jinguang gnawed on the leg of mutton in his hand and looked at the Yan Army spy, and waved his hand: "Drag it down and cut it!" ”

The Yan army spy shouted in fright: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, general, I have major military information to reveal to the general!" ”

"Slow!" Bai Jinguang called people back.

He got up and walked up to the Yan Army scouts and shouted: "Say, tell everything you know, if there is concealment and deception, you will not be spared!" ”

"Yes, yes, the villain said! As far as the villain knows, the king of heaven sent the guard general Zhang Xing as the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, commanding 20,000 foot cavalry is coming to the west, accompanied by the deputy generals Yao Zhao, Feng Yu and Qin Du, the pioneer officer Gu Ni has led the army of 3,000 cavalry to arrive at Feiru at this time, this vanguard cavalry is equipped with three horses each, are elite, Gu Ni is searching for the traces of the general's men and horses, planning to chase after him, this morning, the villain got the news, Gu Ni's people and horses are going north, at present should not be far from here, at most only forty miles! ”

Bai Jinguang knew that his goal had been achieved after listening to the Yan army spy, if Yan Guo only dealt with him, there was no need to dispatch 20,000 troops, since he had dispatched 20,000 troops, he would definitely have to do a big job.

After escorting the Yan army scout, Bai Jinguang immediately sent a detective horse scout to investigate Gu Ni's movements to see if it was consistent with what the Yan army scout said.

He asked someone to bring a map and checked it on the ground, the three thousand Yan cavalry were each equipped with three horses, which was a hard bone, although the combat strength under his command was not bad, but he was not sure about the head-on duel with the three thousand men and horses of Gu Ni, which was less than a thousand Xianbei cavalry.

"Here······ Gansong, it seems to be a good battlefield! ”

Thinking of this, Bai Jinguang immediately shouted: "Come on, send the order to the whole army to set off in a moment, and the target is Gan Songcheng!" ”
