my wife is mulan

With a sound of "dang", Li Bao blocked Yanpu's slashing again and took a step back with his knife holder, but he still stood in front of Zhao Junsheng.

Tuoba Jian looked at Li Bao in surprise. As far as he knew, General Yanpu of Xiaoqi was one of the most powerful generals. The series of attacks just now were not insufferable, and even a dozen or so moves failed to take down a soldier captain. Well, Zhao Junsheng's personal captain is really capable.

Yanpu was out of breath and shouted to Tuobajian: "Zhao Junsheng was ordered to contain Pilixian's army, but now our army was attacked by Pilixian's army and suffered heavy losses. This is Zhao Junsheng's serious dereliction of duty. He cannot absolve himself of the responsibility. Please, my lord, be the master for the dead soldiers!"

The surrounding Xianbei generals bowed down and shouted: "My lord, please be the master for the brothers!"

"Everyone get up, the generals of each army will go into the tooth tent to discuss matters, and everyone else has dispersed!" Tuoba Jian waved his hands and gave an order.

Some of the kneeling generals shouted: "If the prince doesn't deal with Zhao Junsheng, I won't get up!"

"Yes, I won't get up if I don't deal with Zhao Junsheng!" Someone immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Tuoba Jian was furious: "Why, is what I said no longer effective? Resign for this king, or you will be punished as a crime of disobedience to military orders!"

The generals thought of the rigor of the military law, and were afraid of harming themselves, some of the generals who were just making noise couldn't stand Tuoba Jian's majesty, and retreated angrily in fright, and the rest of the generals did not dare to go with them when they saw that they had no support from others. Tuoba Jian confronted him, so he got up angrily and left.

With a tense face, Tuobajian walked up to Yanpu and stared at him, then circled around him again, let out a cold snort, turned and walked into the dental tent.

Yuan He, Wan Dugui, Zhao Junsheng and several officers of the marshal approached the tooth tent one by one. At this time, Yan Pu was already frightened by Tuoba Jian and broke into a cold sweat. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his head, got up and followed in the account.

Tuoba Jian sat down on the main seat, and several subordinate officials and generals of various armies stood on the left and right sides. He took a sip of water, looked at Zhao Junsheng and asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Dutong, what do you say?" Come on, why did the Rouran people suddenly kill them? Didn’t you go to restrain them? When they sent troops to the camp, why didn’t you stop them?”

"Back to the lord, our army last night..." Zhao Junsheng roughly described the military actions taken against the Rouran army last night, and finally said: "When the Rouran people sent troops to attack the camp, the humble and The men and horses under his command are waiting for Pi Lixian's army at Hongyan Lake, and when the humble officer got the news, he immediately led the army to come as quickly as possible, unexpectedly... it was still a step too late!"

"On the way to lead the army, I kept thinking in my heart, I hope the guard post at the camp wài wéi will not be lazy, I hope the prince and the generals will not relax their vigilance,

The facts were far beyond my expectations. You must know that the Rouran Army that came to attack only had [-] cavalry, while our camp had nearly [-] cavalry. It was crushed in less than two minutes? "

Xiaoqi General Yanpu pointed at Zhao Junsheng again and yelled: "Zhao, so you are blaming us instead? We put all our hopes on you, expecting you to hold Rouran people back, how could we know that you are so wrong?" Use it, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a mess, and we wouldn't be killed by the Rouran people and suffer heavy losses!"

Tuobajian held up his palms, some other generals and officials held back when they wanted to speak, and Yanpu also closed his mouth.

Tuoba Jian asked: "Zhao Dutong, this king is very confused, why did Pi Li first know where our army camped and sent troops to attack here?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and replied: "My lord, Rouran people are not fools. There are only a few places within a radius of a hundred miles that can be used as large campsites. They only need to use the method of elimination to determine that there are only two places that agree with the request." , This is here and Hongyan Lake! Hongyan Lake is on their way forward, and they will arrive at the latest tomorrow, and this is the only thing they are not sure about!"

Tuoba Jian asked again: "Is it possible that your generals were captured by the Rouran people?"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and replied: "Your Majesty, we have already counted the lost troops. Except for the bodies found, there are indeed more than a dozen missing, and they are all ordinary soldiers. In the hands of the Rouran people. Moreover, the subordinates of the humble position are all Han Chinese. Although the Rouran language has the same origin as the Xianbei dialect, there is a big difference. After the first contact, the captured soldiers will not be able to understand It is impossible for Rouran people to understand Chinese with a dialect, and how can Rouran people know that our army camp is here when they cannot communicate in words!"

Chapter 374

Tuobajian had nothing to ask, other generals and officials were also silent, only Yanpu stared at Zhao Junsheng with murderous eyes.

At this time, Yu Ji, the boss and counselor, stood up and said to Tuobajian: "My lord, I think Zhao Dutong's analysis is reasonable. It is impossible for someone from Zhao Dutong to leak the secret. It must be someone from Rouran who deduced the truth." The position of our army!"

Yanpu shouted again: "If someone is captured, even if the two sides can't understand each other, can't they write with a pen?"

"If they can write, they still need to be soldiers?"

Zhao Junsheng's words made Yanpu speechless.

Tuobajian took a deep breath, stood up and said to everyone: "This matter is not Zhao Dutong's responsibility. He only has 3 cavalry under his command, and he has no responsibility to protect our nearly [-] horses! Since the expedition, we have fought all the way here, Along the way, the Rouran tribe was unprepared, the army went smoothly, and did not fight a fierce battle. The soldiers and generals were all proud and complacent, arrogant, and slack in their hearts. They let down their vigilance and collapsed when they were rushed by the Rouran cavalry. , this matter is the fault of this king, and I will plead guilty to His Majesty at the meeting!"

These words made all the generals present feel ashamed. In fact, everyone knows that Zhao Junsheng is not responsible for this matter.Nearly 3 horses were successfully attacked by the Rouran people in broad daylight, and they were afraid of being laughed at if they said it, and putting the responsibility on Zhao Junsheng was nothing more than covering their own faces.

Tuoba Jian said to Zhao Junsheng again: "Junsheng, when the Rouran people attacked, it was the Xiao cavalry army that gathered first to fight, but they were quickly overwhelmed, and his troops suffered the most losses. I think he didn't deliberately target you, so don't blame him!"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said: "General Yanpu's mood, I understand very well, if I were in the same position, I would inevitably be like this, I will not blame him!"

"That's fine!"

After finishing speaking, Tuoba Jian clapped his hands and said to the generals and officials: "Okay, this matter is over here, the generals must let go of their prejudices and do not allow any rifts to arise, our enemy is the Rouran people, not ourselves People, do you understand?"

All the generals clasped their fists together: "The last general waits for orders!"

At this time, Jiang Yuan, who was in charge of Zhizhong, came in and handed over to Tuoba Jian: "My lord, the losses have been calculated. Five thousand three hundred and twenty-nine people were killed and two thousand two thousand and sixteen people were injured. Among them, the Xiaocai army suffered the most losses, with nearly 320 people." In addition, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses ran away, and the soldiers have already gone looking for them!"

Those present had already guessed that the loss might be huge this time, but they never expected that there would be such a large casualty. Three thousand Rouran cavalry attacked the camp of 3 people and caused nearly a thousand casualties.

Zhao Junsheng gasped when he heard that, and cursed in his heart, even killing a thousand pigs would not be so easy, would it?

He asked: "Jiang engaged, how many corpses did the Rouran people leave behind?"

"Not enough...less than a hundred!"

Zhao Junsheng was speechless, but this was not all due to Wei Jun's lack of combat power and lack of vigilance. The impact of this plague on Wei Jun was too great.

He took a deep breath, clasped his fists to Tuoba Jian and said: "My lord, I have to take my troops back to watch the Rouran people, to prevent them from sending people to attack again. If there is nothing else, I will resign!"

"Junsheng, wait!" Tuoba Jian called Zhao Junsheng to stop, walked up to him and solemnly explained: "Be careful!"

At this moment, soldiers shouted from outside: "It's raining, it's raining!"

Since the expedition, the army has never encountered rain. It has been two months, and this is the first time.

Zhao Junsheng walked to the door of the tooth tent and stared at the drizzle outside. He saw that the rain was not heavy and not in a hurry, but Zhao Junsheng concluded that the rain might not stop in a short time.

With golden eyes and radiant spirits, he turned around and clasped his fists at Tuoba Jian and said, "My lord, the time has come to defeat the enemy! If my lord wants to defeat Pi Lixian, please borrow three thousand fine horses from my humble position. In the early morning of tomorrow, my humble position will decide to send me out!" People sent good news!"

Tuoba Jian stepped out of the tent to look at the sky, and frowned, "It's windy and rainy, and even the men and horses will be drenched during the march.

Although people's camps are often cold and hungry, how can the soldiers have the strength to fight? "

"It's not difficult. You just need to give each soldier an oilcloth to wear as a coir raincoat!" Zhao Junsheng suggested.

When Tuoba Jian heard this, it was indeed a good idea, but he was worried about the possibility of defeating the enemy, so he asked, "How sure are you?"

"Success at least!" Zhao Junsheng replied with a very objective number.

In fact, this is still a conservative estimate. According to Zhao Junsheng's estimate, Pi Lixian still has at most 7000 men, and if he can borrow [-] elite cavalry from Tuoba Jian, he will have more than [-] cavalry. The difference is not too big, even if they fight head-on, there is at least half the chance of winning, let alone a surprise attack at night?

Tuoba Jian stared at Zhao Junsheng for a long time, and shouted: "Where is Bu Liugu?"

Bu Liugu was the deputy general of the Right Guard Army and the Sima of the Army. His son Bu Liugu Li also joined the army in the Right Guard Army and served as the general of the building.

He stood up and clasped his fists in agreement: "The end is here!"

"You lead the first, second, and fifth buildings together with Zhao Dutong to attack Pi Lixian, and everything is subject to Zhao Dutong's arrangement!"

Bu Liugu was a little bit resistant at first, he was from Xianbei, and he was one of the nobles of the Bu Liugu family, one of the major surnames. He was really reluctant to let him obey the command of a Han, but since Tuoba Jian gave the order, he would You can't disobey orders, you can only promise: "Obey!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhao Junsheng thanked Tuobajian, clasped his fists and said to Bu Liugu, "General Bu Liugu, Zhao will give you two quarters to distribute oilcloths and gather troops to bring enough dry food for a day. Two quarters Afterwards, Zhao will lead his troops to join you outside the Right Guard camp!"

No matter how unwilling Bu Liugu was, now he can only agree: "Take orders!"

Zhao Junsheng bid farewell to Tuobajian and several other generals, took Li Bao back to the camp, and immediately ordered people to distribute a piece of oilcloth to each of the soldiers, and asked the soldiers to wear the oilcloth on their bodies as a raincoat.
