my wife is mulan

The flag bearers waved their flags vigorously and cheered loudly.

Thousands of miles away from their homeland, reunited with their comrades in arms, this situation, the uncontrollable excitement, made the soldiers of the two armies unable to hold back their tears.

When Zhao Junsheng came over on horseback, Wei Juan and the generals under his command dismounted and stepped forward one after another, bowing on one knee together: "Your Majesty is welcome, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!"

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse, feeling unavoidably agitated. He and the ministers and generals who accompanied the army jumped off the horse, stepped forward to help the family members up, and shouted to the generals behind him: "All generals and soldiers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng sized up Wei Juan and the generals, laughed and said, "They're all tanned!"

All the generals laughed together.

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "From Huaishuo Town to now, how is it going? How many people are left with 2 horses?"

Wei Juan replied: "Your Majesty, the casualties of the brothers are not serious, but the Rouran people have been playing hide-and-seek with us, and we are not familiar with the terrain, so we are often played around. People seized the loopholes and turned danger twice, thanks to His Majesty's blessings! So far, our army has lost more than [-] people, wiped out more than [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] people. people!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "I heard that Princess Rouran Tuzhen is the one who stays in charge of the Khan court. This woman is not simple. You and Bai Jinguang can drive her far away to the extreme north. It is not easy! It also shows that Rouran's strength has been severely weakened, and she has no capital to fight us head-on! By the way, do you still have contact with Bai Jinguang?"

Weijuan replied: "Yes, two days ago he sent someone to tell me that he had led his troops to be searched along the Yubani River. The Rouran people and the Gaoche people should not be able to escape far. No. They can't survive the source of water, and at most they should only be able to move around the big water of Bini!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said: "Bai Jinguang likes to take risks, so I am worried that he will fall into Princess Tuzhen's tricks alone!"

Wei Juan thought for a while and said: "Since Your Majesty is worried about something happening to him, should I send a fast horse to inform him? The messenger has been there twice, and the route is familiar!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, "Okay, send a messenger to convey my will to him, and after receiving the order, you can lead the army back south!"

Then the group returned to Mutuo's camp talking and laughing.

In the camp, cooks had already slaughtered cattle and sheep, made fire and cooked food. The soldiers brought out buckets of kumiss. Before the meal was served, every soldier, general and school official poured down a bowl of kumiss. Depression, tiredness swept away.

At night, the soldiers held a grand celebration ceremony to celebrate the successful meeting of the two armies and the fruitful results of the Northern Expedition.

Under the order of Wei Juan, all the troops who were sent out to search Rouran people all retreated to Mutuo after receiving the order.

The army rested in Mutuo for a whole day, but Zhao Junsheng felt that he couldn't stay any longer. He was worried about Bai Jinguang. This guy had 2 troops under his command. Ma also ended up in the same situation. Even if the Northern Expedition is won, it will be a miserable victory.

"Come on, go get Wei Juan!"

Not long after, Wei Juan quickly walked into the big tent, clasped his fists in salute: "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng got up and said: "I still have some worries about Bai Jinguang's department, so I decided to lead the army to Yuba Ni Dashui to meet them. There are still some captives and surrendered Rouran tribes here. If there is no trouble, you can lead your troops to stay as reinforcements!" "

Wei Juan said: "Since Your Majesty is worried about Bai Jinguang, I am willing to lead the army to meet him in Yuba Ni Dashui. Why let Your Majesty go there in person, let alone mobilize all the troops. The soldiers and horses who followed His Majesty are already very tired. Rest and regain your energy!"

Dongfang Chen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a compromise. Why don't you let General Chang lead his troops to stay, and let Li Bao lead the Dragon Guards and General Wei to lead 5000 troops from the headquarters to escort His Majesty northward? The strength of this trip is insufficient. There are many, but the rapid march also fulfilled the loyalty and bravery of General Wei!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he asked Weijuan, "What do you think?"

Weijuan bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is determined to go north, and I will lead my troops to protect you to the death, and I will not hesitate to die!"

"Okay, that's it for this matter, let the order go on, let the soldiers who set off get ready, and go north early tomorrow morning!"

"According to the order!"

At dawn the next day, Wei's family led [-] troops from the headquarters and Li Bao played [-] Dragon Guards to escort Zhao Junsheng to the north.

There are not many troops, and they are all cavalry, without any burden, they have been walking north along the Zhiju River, and the marching speed is very fast.

Although there are only 7000 troops, they are not afraid of encountering an enemy army. Even if the enemy has an army of [-] to [-], Zhao Junsheng and others are not afraid. They will fight if they have a chance, and they will leave if they have no chance. They could catch up, not to mention that Princess Tuzhen might not be able to gather so many troops at this time, otherwise she would not have been chased by Bai Jinguang all the way and fled to the extreme north.

The army marched for three days, and when they camped at night, the family members came to report: "Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, our army will be diverted!"

"Turn around? Isn't it going north along the Zhiju River?"

"Your Majesty, that's not the case! The Zhiju River is not a straight line, but twists and turns. The general direction is towards the northeast. If you walk along the Zhiju River, you will have to walk a few days longer! Thirty years ago The general who served as the envoy of the Wei State went to Yubani Dashui to see the Great Tan Khan, and also changed his way here. There are several lakes and two small rivers on the way to replenish drinking water!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded after listening: "Okay, since you're going to Nani Dashui, I don't have to worry about getting lost. You can decide the marching route!"

"I obey my orders!"

During the march, Zhao Junsheng asked relevant officials from time to time whether the direction of the march was correct. The compass cart was dragged by two horses, and a special official was in charge of it and kept an eye on it at all times. Once the direction of the march deviated, it was reported immediately for correction.

On the way to Yubani Dashui, the army walked for eight days, passing through four lakes and crossing two small rivers on foot.

On the morning of the ninth day, the army, led by Zhao Junsheng and Wei Juan, came down to a nearby hill. At a glance, there was an endless sea several miles ahead, and the cool sea breeze was blowing in.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, watching large flocks of seabirds flying over the sea from time to time, and their eyes swept across the vast and boundless sea.

Weijuan said: "Your Majesty, this is the Yuba Ni Dashui, the Beihai that the ancients mentioned in ancient books!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't make a sound, just watched quietly, and everyone looked at this lake as wide as the sea quietly.

Li Song asked: "General Wei, is this the end of the Yuba Ni flood is the end of the sky?"

Wei Juan shook his head: "I don't know, no one has been there, maybe the Rouran people have been there, and the Gaoche people have lived here for generations, they may have been there, but no one knows what is going on at the end of the Yuba Ni Dashui! "

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and told Li Bao: "Go and call Kuhehan!"

Not long after, Huhehan came to Zhao Junsheng, saluted and said, "See Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "Huhehan, are you going to the end of the great water in Kuibani?"

Hu Hehan nodded: "I have been there once!"

"Oh, what's the situation there? Some people say that it's the top of the sky, is that true?"

Huhehan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Yubani Dashui is said to be the sea, but it is not the sea. I heard that seawater is salty, but the water in Yubani Dashui is not salty. It is drinkable." This is actually a relatively large lake! Go north along the shore of the lake, and halfway there, you will hardly see people and livestock. The farther you go north, the more wild, all mountains and valleys and dense forests everywhere. , Most areas are covered with snow all the year round, and it is not suitable for grazing. There are large beasts that are not resistant to severe cold, and there are even savages, who are extremely ferocious. It is easy to get lost in it after entering. No one has gone further north after the northernmost point!"

Zhao Junsheng said to Na Yan after listening: "Send a scout team along the lakeshore to search northward for traces of Bai Jinguang's army!"

"promise!"

"Weijuan, Li Bao, order the army to camp on the spot, and make a decision after finding traces of Bai Jinguang's army!"

So the army camped on the spot on this high ground, and sent a large number of scouts and guard posts around.

In the afternoon of that day, a scout came to report that a soldier and horse was found on the east bank of the river heading north. Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered the Wei family to lead the troops to follow along the river bank.

Weijuan led the army to continue northward the next morning. According to Kuhahan, the river will eventually flow into the Bani Dashui, so you should be able to find the Bai Jinguang Department by heading north along the lake.

Two days later, a messenger returned to the camp on a fast horse.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Wei sent a villain to report to His Majesty that our army found the scouts sent by General Bai when we marched along the lakeshore yesterday evening, and then the two armies met at the entrance of the river. General Bai and his troops They are all safe and sound, at this time the two generals have led their troops back to the south, and they will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest!"

Zhao Junsheng was worried that something would happen to Bai Jinguang's army alone. Now that he heard the news that Bai Jinguang and his men were safe, he finally felt relieved.

Sure enough, at si o'clock the next morning, Wei Juan and Bai Jinguang led the troops back to the camp, and the monarch and his ministers greeted each other again.
