[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

Dusk is approaching, yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the autumn in Mobei is already a bit chilly. Xie Qichen stands alone outside the camp, looking at the endless plains in front of him, but his heart is hard to calm down.The battle situation turned from a slight turning point to back to stagnant water. If it continues like this, the army will be dragged down, and the vigor of the [-] soldiers will also be exhausted. .

On the night of the night attack on Shengle, the momentum started like a broken bamboo. After drawing out the main force in the city, the attack went smoothly.However, after Duo Lun led his army to besiege Yuchi Building, he realized that something was wrong. Before confronting the main force of the Wei army, he immediately led his troops back to the city.He ordered people to lower the suspension bridge, and he fell behind to stop the enemy. Just when Xie Qichen personally led the army to the city, he successfully retreated to Shengle City.

After fighting all night, at dawn, Xie Qichen led his troops back to the barracks. However, although Duo Sufeng's first line of defense was defeated and Rouran was defeated this time, Sheng Le was still in Duo Lun's hands.Xi Jin's worry was not unreasonable. After the night attack, Duo Lun ordered people to guard the city gate strictly and never fight again.

Shengle's danger is indissoluble, and Pingcheng is in danger.Under the Taoist decree, Xie Qichen was recalled to Pingcheng.In the majestic court hall, in front of civil and military officials, the emperor asked why Sheng Le couldn't attack for a long time, he... was really speechless.In such a situation, whether he should attack Shengle again or go back to save Pingcheng, whether he will face the enemy or fight to the death, Xie Qichen has never encountered such a stalemate in 20 years.The emperor has issued a verbal order, not to let Xie Qichen be a loyal minister who died with his own life, but to be a famous general who turned the tide, but how easy is it?

"General." Zhiqing walked out of the fence of the camp and called softly.Walked to Xie Qichen's side in a few steps, and put a cloak on him.

Xie Qichen turned around, there was a gentle look between his brows, he gathered the cloak around his body, looked at Zhiqing and said: "It's all right, it's windy outside, let's go back."

Zhiqing shook her head, looking at Xie Qichen's face full of wind and frost, she felt uncomfortable.Now that the military situation is urgent, the emperor issued an edict to call him back to Pingcheng. He only spent days and nights on the way back and forth. He must be exhausted, but he still stands here alone. It must be a lot of pressure to come to the court.If Sheng Le cannot be attacked day by day, the burden on him will not be light.Several buildings, including Yuchi Building, had run out of food, and the Chinese army had to confiscate the leftover food from all armies for deployment. If they didn't break through the city as soon as possible, their army would really be defeated without a fight.

"Is the general still thinking about how to siege the city?"

Xie Qichen nodded his head lightly, then shook his head, and looked at the boundless plain again, "As far as we can see, the battle of Shengle can only be done by force."

Discussing matters in the tent, the generals have no good strategy now, and even used the lowest form of "swearing and fighting", Duo Lun still stays behind closed doors, I am afraid there is no other way but to attack.Zhiqing sighed silently, looked at Xie Qichen's broad and straight back with loneliness and helplessness.It is said that all battles are worthless, that war is always terrible, and there are only life and death on the battlefield. He thought he was used to such cruelty, but just now the worries in his eyes seemed to be not just for Shengle.

"The general has something on his mind?" Zhiqing asked.

Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing's worried face and didn't know what to say.Changsun Han's army on the East Road has been severely damaged by Rouran's reinforcements. The eldest prince of Rouran, Wu Ti, led [-] cavalry to occupy the entire Wuchuan grassland in the northwest, and is marching towards Yunzhong, not far from Shengle.Although Lou Fulian's thousands of cavalry had set up an ambush, after the confrontation, these thousands of cavalry could not stop Rouran's [-] cavalry.In the past few days, battle reports have been sent back frequently. He has strictly blocked the news. Only he and Xi Jin know about the military situation in the rear. If such news spreads to the army, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.This time Wu Ti leads the army, whether in public or private, Xie Qichen wants to fight him head-on, he wants to cut off this man's delusional thoughts about Zhiqing with his sword.However, before Duo Lun, it would be futile not to win Sheng Leqie.

"Pingcheng has already raised food and grass, and it will be transported to the front line in a few days." He suppressed his worries and talked about other things with Zhiqing.

Seeing that he didn't say much, Zhiqing didn't mention it again, just stood by his side and looked into the distance with him.The sky has become a bit dark, and the desert wind brings the faint sound of the qin, which is the sound of the Langtou qin.The border Wei soldiers all know that Rouran people like to play the wolf head qin, but there is only one person who can play the qin at this time.

"General Xie, Luo Qing." Mulan came striding from a short distance away, dressed in armor, the heroic spirit between her brows had gradually covered up her original daughter's temperament, she looked like a man from a distance.Standing next to them, closing eyes and quietly listening to the sound of the qin in the wind, he said lonely and bitterly, "It's Duolun Langtouqin."

Zhiqing didn't speak, Xie Qichen looked at Mulan, "There is no killing intent in the sound of the piano, it seems that Duo Lun is also getting tired of war."

"He didn't want to fight at all..." The reason for leading the army now is just the tone in his heart at that time. Now that Shengle is an isolated city, it seems a bit bleak and ridiculous when he swore at the beginning. "Perhaps he is missing the Valley of the Five Phoenixes."

"That's right, Duo Lun is missing General Mo in the Valley of the Five Phoenixes..." Mulan smiled calmly at Zhiqing.There are too many complicated things mixed in the eyes, but it is more of perseverance.

Perhaps Duo Lun is not the only one who is tired of the war, Zhiqing is also.For several days, I felt lethargic and dizzy.The weather has begun to change in Mobei, and it is very cold at night. In addition to the shortage of rations in the army, they often suffer from hunger. Even if they are covered with a quilt at night, they will shiver from the cold.Zhiqing didn't dare to think if she was sick, and she hoped she wasn't. At this juncture, she didn't want to cause trouble to anyone.

Seeing the two men who were discussing the military situation in front of them, Zhiqing felt more and more chilly.Strongly cheered up, cupped his fists and said, "General Xie, Master Hua, Luo Qing will resign."

In a state of stalemate and confrontation, war is not beneficial to both sides. This invisible consumption is a test for both Rouran and Wei.Although Duo Lun is sticking to Shengle City, the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and Xie Qichen's army is watching, waiting for many days will inevitably make the Rouran soldiers in the city a little distracted.They were a nation on horseback, and they lived across the desert grasslands. Now they were guarding an isolated city alone. If Wei attacked the city desperately at this time, Duolun would not be able to hold it with full confidence.

He expected that Father Khan would ask Wu Ti to lead the army to support him, but it had been more than ten days since he sent the message back to Rouran, why Wu Ti hadn't arrived yet?Duo Lun's news was blocked by defending Sheng Le, and he really didn't know how the battle would be after passing Xie Qichen's army.

Wu Ti led his troops from Rouran, and confronted Wei Changsun Han's army in Wuchuan. He fought and marched, and drove the remnants of Changsun Han to a dense forest in Yunzhong.

Changsun Han's mission was to stop Rouran's reinforcements from marching towards Shengle. The situation was so endangered that when he encountered Wu Ti's iron cavalry, he immediately ordered the construction of fortifications and attacked them head-on.The people of Rouran are aggressive, and their morale is greatly boosted by Duo Lun's occupation of Shengle. In addition, they are strong and strong, and the battle is quite fierce. To counterbalance.Changsun Han thought that Rouran's reinforcements would not be too entangled in order to move Sheng Le as soon as possible, so he immediately changed his strategy after the head-on encounter, and decided to mainly harass and delay their journey.Unexpectedly, Wu Ti was not worried about the time, but was determined not to lose Wei's army first.After Changsun Han's defeat, there were only less than [-] troops left, so he took people to hide in the dense forest.

Standing in a temporary tent, Wu Ti was studying the nearby terrain with several lieutenants. He believed that Changsun Hand would join Lou Fu's troops to regroup and ambush them in the clouds.The lieutenants meant to destroy Wei Suo's troops with all their might, and went straight to Sheng Le and Prince Duo Lun to attack back and forth, and then wiped out Xie Qichen's army, and then they could drive straight in and take Pingcheng.

Yunzhong is already very close to Shengle, and the army only needs to walk around the sky slowly to reach it.Wu Ti glanced at the people around him with a half-smile, and shouted: "Send the order, and set up camp!"

Yunzhong is no less densely populated than Wuchuan. Because it is close to the old capital Shengle, the surrounding towns are densely populated and relatively prosperous.Wu Ti's soldiers and horses stayed at the border of Yunzhong, and they continued to harass and loot the Wei border, and they lived a comfortable life.It was Rouran's nature for Wu Ti to allow his subordinates to plunder, but there were Wei troops around them waiting for an ambush at any time, so this act somewhat lured them into taking the bait automatically.He held his breath in his heart, now that he holds the military talisman, he not only wants to impress his father Khan, but also use Wei people's blood to relieve his hatred.

Sitting in the big tent, Wu Ti wiped his saber up and down, with a sneer on his lips, and his eyes were as sharp as the blade of a knife.The knife really depends on the blood of the enemy to become sharper... He hasn't led the army for a long time, and now the battle has just started, the blood in his body can't help gushing, it seems that he can't run out of power, for him, he doesn't want the war to end so soon .

He has heard that the Wei army attacked Shengle at night. Although Duo Lun retreated completely, the Duosu Fenglang Camp was severely damaged and the surrounding fortifications collapsed. Now Shengle is just an isolated city.Wu Ti snorted coldly, his good brother Duo Lun should be restless now, the reinforcements have been arriving for a long time, and with his proud and unruly temperament, he will definitely stick to it to the end.

Just let him feel uncomfortable for a few days, Wu Ti thought.At this time, Wu Luohou came in from outside the tent to report, his face looked a bit embarrassed. "Your Highness, everyone stopped me and wanted to go to Miss Sheng Le He Hong."

"He Hong?" You are quite courageous, dare to go to Pingcheng for Duo Lun?Wu Ti frowned, stood up, and said, "Bring people in!"

Facing Wu Ti, He Hong has always been arrogant. Although Wu Ti looks cold and serious in the armor now, she believes that he will not do anything to herself.After being brought into the big tent, He Hong bravely yelled: "Wu Ti, it's been a few days, and I just arrived here, and Sheng Le is in front, why don't you march in broad daylight!"

"Are you here to teach me how to fight?"

He Hong was choked by Wu Ti's words, and stared, "Is it because I didn't intend to help Duo Lun?"

Wu Ti looked at it with a calm face, and he didn't lose his temper because of being misunderstood. He asked instead, "Do you really want to go to Shengle?"

"So what, if you want to stop it, it's a dream!"

"Go then."

What Wu mentioned shocked He Hong so much that he was speechless, looked at him suspiciously for a long time, and said in disbelief, "Really let go?"

"Wuluohou, prepare their horses and let them go!"

"Your Highness!" Wu Luohou was about to open his mouth, but he had to lower his head to meet Wu Ti's eyes, "Yes!"

……

A few days later, Zhuzi brought back several carts of silk and grain from Wufeng Valley to Yuchi Mansion. Mulan's eyes gradually turned red as she saw the cart full of outstandingly embroidered and top-grade silks and satins.She used to be an embroidered girl of Wufeng Valley, so she naturally knew who these silks came from, such as Hua'erjin, Huanhuayuan, Luoshen Manor, Qianse Villa, Huojinfang, Silk Embroidery Studio... If I love silk, I can't bear it if it's not for war Ruined these embroidery.

Mulan led people to transport the food to the Chinese army, Xie Qichen discussed the plan with the generals and sent them back to Yuchi Building to prepare.

Shengle City opened the west gate for half an hour every morning and evening for dung trucks to enter and exit. Mulan asked the scholar to lead a few people to pretend to be a silk trading caravan, and Zhuzi led the Yuchi Building Iron Blood Team to hide in the cargo box.When Duo Lun saw the silk from Wufeng Valley, he would definitely seize the caravan's goods and bring them to the city. When the time came, he would cooperate with General Xie to attack and open the city gate.

The moon was slanting to the west, far away on the border in the clouds, Wu Ti saw Dunzhu, who had come out of Shengle City, to deliver a letter for He Hong.On that day, Wu Ti agreed to let He Hong go with only one condition, to help him find out Li Duo's whereabouts.In order to see Duo Lun, He Hong is naturally willing to agree to anything, besides, Li Duo was cheated in Wang Ting last time, and there is nothing wrong with being caught by Wu Ti, so she readily agreed, and now she sent Dunzhu here just to fulfill the promise.

Wu Ti knew that Duo Lun's mind was on the woman named Hua Mulan Wei, and letting He Hong go to Shengle would just upset Duo Lun.Duo Lun caused so much trouble for himself, and even let Li Duo go without permission, Wu Ti would not let him feel better.

He glanced at Dunzhu and asked, "Any news about He Hong?"

"Your Highness Wu Ti, Miss Jia said that you will know it just by looking at it." Dunzhu took out a sheepskin letter from his arms and handed it to him.

There was nothing redundant in the letter, only that He Hong got the news from Yeshu.

Ye Shuzheng privately wanted Duo Lun to rely on He Hong's relationship to rebuild with the prime minister. When He Hong asked about this and knew what happened to Lai Sheng Le, he guessed that he must have met Wu Ti.He knew everything right away. According to him, he didn't follow when he sent the person away that day, but according to his judgment, the person should be in Xie Qichen's camp.In fact, Ye Shu is not very sure, but in order to understand Sheng Le's predicament, he had no choice but to use He Hong to trick Wu Ti into sending troops.

Wu Ti read the letter gloomily, and squeezed the sheepskin tightly.If Li Duo was really in Xie Qichen's camp, he couldn't imagine how they would face each other day and night...

There seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes, and he pulled out his saber and stuck it on the case. "Thank you Qichen!"

This action startled Dun Zhu and Wu Luohou in the tent, for some reason the eldest prince suddenly became angry.

Wu Luohou stepped forward, "Your Highness..."

Wu Tiyin endured and stood up, but his face was full of hostility, "Send the order, and pull out the camp immediately!"

……

Just after the hour of Chen, half an hour had passed since the caravan entered Shengle City, and the Wei army camp was ready to go.

Zhiqing personally picked up the saber on the wooden frame and handed it to Xie Qichen, her face was a little pale, but she suppressed her physical discomfort and smiled at Xie Qichen.

Xie Qichen held the blade of the sword, and solemnly said to Zhiqing: "Wait until you come back."

Zhiqing followed the army straight to the outside of the camp, today the sun was shining brightly, and the glaring sunlight shone on his pale face, making him feel dizzy for a while.Is it because of the body? Why do I feel so flustered and uneasy...
