my wife is mulan

Not long after, Xiaoshuai returned with his troops, and he reported to Princess Tuzhen with a bloody head: "My subordinates found this head and a headless body under the firewood in the woodshed!"

At this time, a soldier among the captives kneeling in the distance saw the appearance of the head, and immediately burst into tears: "Commander, commander, you died a terrible death! God damn you, how dare you kill him?" My master, I... I will fight with you!" After saying that, he got up and pushed the captives away to rush towards Princess Tuzhen.

Several other soldiers were also affected by this person, and the crowd became excited for a while, and the captives began to stir up, showing signs of resistance again.

"Bows and arrows are ready!" A loud roar came out, and the surrounding Rouran cavalry pointed their bows and arrows at the captives.

Seeing this scene, the captives who had just been hot-headed instantly squatted down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, not daring to stab again.

The first captives who rushed out were controlled by two Rouran soldiers and brought them to Princess Tuzhen.

Princess Tuzhen shouted, "Tell me, whose head is this?"

The captured soldiers yelled: "Mrs. Fanbang, you killed

My handsome man, what are you pretending to be? "

Princess Tuzhen was shocked; "You mean this head belongs to An Yuan?"

"Who else could it be if it's not my commander-in-chief? Hmph, Mrs. Fanbang, don't be complacent. When my imperial army arrives, you'll be beaten to death and your head will be chopped off!"

Princess Tuzhen's eyes flashed fiercely, and the spear in her hand stabbed like lightning, the head of the spear pierced through the captured soldier, the spear was retracted, and the body fell to the ground, there was another commotion among the captives, but they were lifted up by the surrounding The bow and arrow shrank back in fright.

Princess Tuzhen put the letter into her bosom, looked at An Yuan's head, and then at the headless body, her heart became active: "Who killed An Yuan? Could it be the general of the Wei army on Jinling Mountain? What is the purpose of doing it?"

Suddenly, Princess Tuzhen understood that after the other party killed An Yuan, he handed over the head and body to her, making everyone mistakenly think that she killed An Yuan, and let her bear the responsibility for killing An Yuan.

"It seems that this person should have a grudge with An Yuan, or have conflicts. Maybe it's because of different political views, or maybe it's because of competing for power? Let me bear the responsibility of killing An Yuan. , Don’t worry if you have too much debt! Hmph, no matter who you are, since you dare to plot against me, then prepare to bear my wrath!"

Princess Tuzhen calmed down her mood, and ordered her subordinate general: "Come here, bury An Yuan's body in a dignified way according to the general's ceremony! Hang his head on the banner and send people to run back and forth under Jinling Mountain holding the banner. Let the defenders on the mountain see it! Tomorrow, send someone to use secret techniques to make a wine vessel from the head, and decorate it with a lot of gold and jade. This princess will present this wine vessel to the Khan as a birthday gift!"

The people of Rouran have always used the heads of their enemies to make wine vessels. Princess Tuzhen's subordinates were not surprised to hear her order.

"As ordered!"

When An Yuan's head was held by the Rouran cavalry with banners and galloped back and forth down the mountain, An Yuan's cronies on the mountain were all crying, and their morale was even lowered to an unimaginable level.

After Gu Bi heard the news, he was furious. After the outburst, his face was full of decadence and remorse. After all, An Yuan was the general who conquered the South and made great contributions to the imperial court. How could someone be killed?

Although Tuobajian was also very angry, he knew that the most important thing in this matter was to strengthen the defense, he must block the Rouran people, and they must not let them rush to Jinling Mountain.

Under his arrangement and deployment, defensive facilities were added at the intersection leading to the mountain and some surrounding places that could go up the mountain. The soldiers built high walls with stones at several places where they could go up the mountain, and built archery towers inside the high walls. .

In the camp at the foot of the mountain, the young commander beside Princess Tuzhen walked into the camp and reported to her: "Princess, I have searched all the captives and the market outside, but I have not found Hou Yu and others, and there is no news of them!"

Princess Tuzhen frowned: "Where are they going? Hou Yu sent a message to this princess with a flying eagle yesterday, and they disappeared after just over a day?"

Xiaoshuai seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a while and said to Princess Tuzhen: "Princess, do you think they will get mixed up on the mountain?"

Princess Tuzhen was thoughtful, "It's not impossible! If they are still alive, they will definitely want to contact you. Be careful!"

"Yes, princess!"

A general came in from the outside, stroked his chest and bowed: "Princess, according to your order, 3000 troops have assembled!"

Princess Tuzhen nodded and ordered: "Use two buildings as a team, divide the 2000 people into ten teams, let them spread out, and rob all the towns within a radius of a hundred miles! The remaining 1000 people are sent by You personally lead the team, one person and two horses, go straight to Shanwu County, and make a long-distance raid at the fastest speed, arrive within a day and launch a surprise attack. This princess wants you to capture all the people, animals and property in Shanwu County! Can you do it? "

General Rou Ran looked excited, touched his chest again and bowed: "This subordinate will definitely live up to the princess, otherwise come and see me!"

"Okay, this kind of determination is needed, let's go!" Princess Tuzhen waved her hand after saying that.

after this person left

, Princess Tuzhen pondered for a moment, cut a strip of paper with a paper cutter, took a fine brush and dipped it in ink to write down two lines of small words, dried the ink after writing, rolled up the strip and tied it with a string, He waved to Xiaoshuai who was standing beside him: "Use the eagle to send it to Da Na!"

"As ordered!"

······

In the afternoon, Zhao Junsheng returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain where Nantian Fort was located to rest for a while, while Hua Mulan stared at the city wall.

His follower Guo Yi poured a bowl of water and handed it over. Zhao Junsheng untied his waist knife and put it on the table, took the bowl and drank it all in one go.

At this time, a soldier walked in quickly to salute and reported: "Report to Dutong, Captain Cao Jiao Cao rushed over with the security team!"

"It seems that something happened to the Jinling camp!" Zhao Junsheng said after hearing the report, and ordered the soldiers who reported the letter: "Let Cao Jiao come to see me, and you take the security team to find Pei Jin to resettle the camp, distribute the tents and Relevant supplies!"

"Yes, Dutong!"

After only a cup of tea, the soldiers outside the door reported: "Dutong, Captain Cao is here!"

"Come in!"

Cao Jiao walked in, cupped his fists and bowed in salute: "Report to Dutong, Cao Jiao has completed the task and led the security team to return to Dutong!"

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, and told Guo Yi who was standing aside: "Pour Captain Cao a bowl of water!"

Guo Yi agreed, and poured a bowl of water to Cao Jiao.

"Guo Yi, go and call Gao Xiu!" Zhao Junsheng ordered Guo Yi.

"Yes, young master!" Guo Yi walked out of the camp after camping.

After driving for half a day, Cao Jiao was indeed thirsty. After drinking it in one gulp, he began to tell Zhao Junsheng in detail what happened in Jinling Camp in the past two days.

Zhao Junsheng folded his arms and listened while walking up and down in the tent.

After Cao Jiao finished speaking, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Do you think Princess Tuzhen will bring troops to attack Nantianbao?"

Cao Jiao thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate thinks this possibility is very small. I heard Dutong's description of Princess Tuzhen last time, and I think she should be a resourceful person. Now Jinling Mountain is considered a wounded person." There are nearly a thousand soldiers in total. Although these people lack the strength to take the initiative to attack, it should not be a big problem to defend Jinling Mountain. Princess Tuzhen dared to lead troops to fight Nantian without solving the nearly thousand troops on Jinling Mountain. Fort? The subordinates think this is an extreme risky, desperate approach. Isn't she afraid that we will take the initiative to attack and attack her after contacting Jinling Mountain? People like her should not make such mistakes, right?"

Chapter 322

"Well, that makes sense!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, thought for a while and asked again: "By the way, the night before yesterday you sent someone to tell you that you already had a suspect. Who is this person? Can you be sure now?" ?”

"It's basically confirmed!" After Cao Jiao finished speaking, he stepped forward and said a name in a very low voice in Zhao Junsheng's ear.

Zhao Junsheng looked shocked: "It's him?"

"There shouldn't be anything wrong. The subordinates have sent people to spy on the places where the instructions are taken and where the news is released. Every time this person has appeared in these two places, no one else will It happened to appear in these two positions several times in a row!"

Zhao Junsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This person should be with the supervisor Gu Bi and Yongchang Wang Tuobajian on Jinling Mountain right now?"

"Yes, not only did this person go up the mountain, but the subordinate also arranged for Hou Lue and Hou Ling to go up the mountain before leaving!"

"Very good! Be careful to keep the identities of these people secret. Apart from you and me, don't let other people know their true identities and locations!"

"Subordinates understand!" Cao Jiao agreed with clasped fists.
