my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan closed her eyes to enjoy the warmth from Zhao Junsheng.

After an unknown amount of time, a eunuch's voice broke the warmth between the two of them, "Report to Your Majesty, General Gao Xiu, please see me!"

Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng separated, "Brother Junsheng, let's go back, don't keep Gao Xiu waiting!"

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng walked back holding Hua Mulan's hand.

He and Hua Mulan returned to the inner palace, Gao Xiu was waiting at the door.

"It seems that General Gao has something urgent to report. I'm going back first. The children and I are waiting for you for dinner!" Hua Mulan explained.

Zhao Junsheng nodded, "OK!"

When Hua Mulan was gone, Zhao Junsheng tilted his head to Gao Xiu: "Go to the Imperial Study Room and talk!"

The two entered the imperial study room one after the other. The eunuchs lit up a charcoal fire in the imperial study room and brought tea. Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu drank a cup of hot tea each, and their bodies warmed up.

"What's the urgent need to come into the palace so late?"

Gao Xiu took out a report and handed it over: "I just received an urgent report from Jincheng. Shi Yin and Le Liyang failed!"

Zhao Junsheng took the report and opened it to read it quickly.

It turned out that Shi Yin and Le Liyang started to gather the old tribe after they sneaked back to Tuyuhun with the weapons, armor, bows and crossbows supported by Qian Kingdom. At the same time, they contacted another cousin, Fu Nian, and the three of them gathered soon There were 2 horses.

But Mu Liyan, king of Tuyuhun, soon learned of this, and he immediately sent troops to attack the three brothers Shiyin, Leliyang and Fu Nian. The two sides fought intermittently for more than two years.

In the beginning, although the three Shiyin brothers were not as strong as Mu Liyan, but the three brothers worked together and were able to fight Mu Liyan evenly.

But since a year ago, Mu Liyan sent people to buy off the counselors around Fu Nian. The counselors got a lot of money and promises from Mu Liyan, and they separated Fu Nian, Shi Yin, and Le Liyang.

Gradually, Fu Nian, Shi Yin, and Le Liyang brothers became estranged, and began to quarrel over some issues of profit distribution, and they broke up many times.

At the end of last year, heavy snow fell in the land of Qianghu, and many animals froze to death. Mu Liyan, Shi Yin and others fought again to compete for population, livestock and territory. The two sides fought several times.

A month ago, the situation in Tuyuhun had undergone major changes. Mu Liyan used tricks to divert Fu Nian away, and attacked the two brothers Shi Yin and Le Liyang with heavy troops. Why not sit on the hill and watch the tigers fight, let Mu Liyan, Shiyin, and Le Liyang fight to the death, and then sit back and reap the benefits?

Fu Nian listened to the counselor's dissuasion and advice, and remembered his conflicts with Shi Yin and Le Liyang brothers, so he didn't go to the rescue.

In this battle, due to Fu Nian's failure to lead reinforcements in time, Shi Yin and Le Liyang brothers were defeated by Mu Liyan due to insufficient strength. The troops suffered heavy losses, livestock, population and territory were all lost. Zhi, if Yang Nandang of Longzhi and the Jincheng garrison were not behind to protect them, I am afraid that their brothers would have died.

After Mu Liyan took care of the two brothers, Shi Yin and Le Liyang, he turned his spearhead at Fu Nian and began to attack Fu Nian on a large scale.

At this moment, Fu Nian realized how stupid his previous decision was. If the three brothers did not form an alliance to fight against the enemy together, they would not be able to defeat Mu Liyan at all.

Fu Nian was betrayed by his advisers. During the battle with Mu Liyan, he led his troops to rush to kill, but his advisers fled with a small number of soldiers and horses in the rear. This immediately led to the defeat of the army, and Mu Liyan took advantage of the situation to attack , Chasing and killing, Fu Nian died on the spot, and his subordinates were either killed or captured.

Mu Liyan, who beat Shiyin and Leliyang brothers away, and solved Fu Nian, reunited Tuyuhun, but he did not stop his conquest. When he learned that Shiyin and Leliyang brothers were hiding in Longzhi At that time, he took a soldier and horse to attack Longzhi at night.

Yang Nandang led troops to resist Mu Liyan's attack, but the Di soldiers in Longzhi City were panicked under the surprise attack and could not organize too many troops to resist. He could only order his son Yang He to lead troops to guard Shi Yinhe Le Liyang fled and stayed with his troops to stop Mu Liyan.

During this battle, Yang Nandang died in battle, and more than [-] Di soldiers under his command were killed. Only his son Yang He fled to Jincheng with dozens of soldiers to protect Shi Yin and Le Liyang.

After reading the report, Zhao Junsheng thought for a long time and said to Gao Xiu: "It seems that it's time to deal with Tuyuhun!"

Gao Xiu cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, if I want to send troops to Tuyuhun, the best time to send troops is between February and March next year!"

Chapter 782 Revisiting Capital Relocation

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of hot tea from his teacup and raised his hand: "Tell me what you think!"

"Yes!" Gao Xiu clasped his fists, "Currently the 2 troops of the Wei family are still stationed in Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Zhangye, and Juqu Wuji, who had been occupying the state of Shanshan before, has led his troops to capture Gaochang. Kan Shuang, the former prefect of Gaochang, fled to Rouran. Juquwushi's troops should have suffered a relatively large loss, and they can't pose a threat to the Hexi Corridor for the time being!"

"I suggest ordering the Wei family to lead the army to attack Tuyuhun nearby, so that the imperial court does not have to send troops from Ganjing to go there!"

"In addition, the minister also suggested ordering Chang Kun, the general of Chang'an Town, to lead [-] cavalry to Jincheng to deter the Hehuang area. First, use Chang Kun's army to attract the attention of King Mu Liyan of Tuyuhun, and then order his family members to send troops to fight against the valley! "

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said: "The West Sea area is high-lying. Soldiers and horses from the Central Plains usually encounter climate and unacceptable conditions when entering the Central Plains. Some people have difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea, and a sense of powerlessness when they arrive. [-]% of the time, I am worried that after our army enters the Xihai area, such and such problems will also occur!"

Gao Xiu didn't go to the Xiqiang area, he didn't know the situation there, he was quite surprised after hearing Zhao Junsheng's words: "There are such strange things?"

"Why do you think Tuyuhun has survived for so many years? Every time they were attacked, they retreated to the depths of the plateau, and the outside army lost their combat power when they entered. Many of them were wiped out by the Tuyuhun people. Some cautious generals had no choice but to Can retreat!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "I can't take on such a combat mission with a large number of soldiers, but someone can! Let's do this, and send military posts from Fanghan, Lintao, Liangzhou, Recruit Han, Qiang, and Di young men into the army in Jincheng, arm them with high salaries, good weapons and equipment, and train them with harsh methods!"

"Before that, we can follow your suggestion to send troops to capture the Hehuang area first! Send an order to the Wei family to strengthen the winter training of the generals of the army and prepare for the Tuyuhun expedition next year. Tell the Wei family not to leak anything before the expedition information!"

"understand!"

The next day, the imperial edict was issued from Qianjing. Due to the heavy snow blocking the road, there must be a lot of delay along the way.

In the blink of an eye, it has been the 16th year of Qian State, and before the first month has passed, Qianjing has started to move, and a large amount of military combat materials have been transported from Qianjing to Liangzhou.

The matter of moving the capital has been brewing in Zhao Junsheng's mind for several years, and he has been preparing for the move for the past few years, and there is no longer any resistance from the army.

He felt that it was time to put this matter on the agenda. Once, when he convened ministers to discuss the Tuyuhun war, he said casually: "Qianjing is too far away from Liangzhou, Xiqiang, Nanchao and Rouran. Thinking about whether to move the capital to Chang'an, or else this war will not be easy to fight at all! All right, all the ministers go back!"

Zhao Junsheng said something casually, but the ministers dared not listen to it. Past experience has proved that as long as it comes from the emperor's mouth, it will not be targeted.

Ever since, the ruling and opposition parties began to discuss this matter. Some people said that the emperor had already planned to move the capital to Chang'an, and those who did not want to move the capital were unwilling to accept this reality. The rumors that came out were simply not credible.

The government and the opposition were clearly divided into two factions, and they kept arguing about the relocation of the capital, but no one brought it to the court to speak.

Some ministers didn't think it was groundless. Since the emperor brought it up at the court meeting, it must not be aimless, so some ministers secretly sent people to Chang'an to buy houses and real estate.

Ganjing is arguing endlessly about moving the capital, and Chang'an and Liangzhou have already started preparations for a big war.

Commander Chang Kun set off from Chang'an to Jincheng with [-] fine riders. The speed along the way was very fast, and the Wei family members also moved quietly in Liangzhou. At the time of attraction, lead the army to march towards Dadou Valley.

At this time, Yang He, the son of Yang Nandang, had arrived in Qianjing with dozens of cavalry guards Shi Yin and Le Liyang.

Zhao Junsheng received a report from Honglu Temple and met them and Yang He in the early court.

Zhao Junsheng said to Shi Yin and Le Liyang: "I have heard about the accident of Tuyuhun, and I am dispatching troops and generals to conquer Mu Liyan, but Mu Liyan is not so easy to deal with. A few people will not be beaten twice by him and escape to me. Therefore, this battle must be a protracted one, so you brothers don't need to worry!"

Shi Yin hurriedly made a bow and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. My brother and I are very grateful for your Majesty's sending troops to uphold justice for my brother!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "How much gold and silver can the two of you brothers bring with you when you flee?"

Shi Yin's face turned awkward, "Return to Your Majesty, our two brothers were in a panic when we fled, and we didn't have time to pack up the gold and silver, so we didn't have a penny on us. It took Yang and his brothers to sell a few horses to make up for it. Arrive at the capital to meet His Majesty with some money!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, looked at Yang He who was wearing military armor, and said to him, "General Yang, have you ever heard about your father Yang Nandang?"

Yang He hurriedly saluted and said: "Xiaochen guarded Shi Yin and Le Liyang brothers all the way to Beijing. The news on the way is not very well-informed. I have never received any news. Please let your majesty know what is going on with my father now?"

Zhao Junsheng hesitated for a moment, then gave Gao Xiu a wink.

Gao Xiu saw Zhao Junsheng's wink, stood up and said to Yang He: "Little General Yang, after you escaped from Longzhi City that day, your lord General Yang Nandang led the army to resist the attack of Mu Liyan's army. He fought bravely and killed the enemy. Innumerable, but ultimately defeated due to outnumbered enemies. Afterwards, Jin Chengcheng will receive the news and send troops to rescue, but Mu Liyan has led the army to leave when resisting Longzhi City. Our soldiers found your father in Longzhi City. Mu Liyan hung his head on the flagpole of the city gate, and his body was discarded in the ruins for the vultures to peck at..."
