Zong Ai said: "Don't look at these people arguing fiercely, they actually didn't resolutely express their stance on who would be on the throne, they were all as good as monkeys!" However, I found that the two of them, Yi Jue, and Pi Loujin, the commander of the guards, were very supportive of King Le'an; King Gaochang Tuobana, Dazai Tsuneei, and champion general An Jie have the meaning of leaning towards King Le'an; Taichangqing Cui Hao, the national teacher Kou Qianzhi, and the secretary and supervisor Cui Zheng have the intention of leaning towards King Yongchang, as for the intentions of the other ministers, it is not clear! ”

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin and asked, "Taichangqing Cui Hao and secretary Cui Zheng are both surnamed Cui, are they related to each other?" ”

Zong Ai was stunned, "Cui Hao is Cui Zheng's nephew, don't you know?" ”

"No wonder!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and said to Zong Ai: "There are only three things we have to do now: first, delay the time and delay it until King Yongchang arrives!" ”

"Second, prevent King Le'an from leading his army back! As soon as I find the traces of his return with his army, I will come to you, and when the time comes, you will bring a few eunuchs and a team of cavalry to the pretense of the decree and order the king of Le'an to lead his army to pursue the defeated army that attacked us a few days ago! ”

"Third, find a way to persuade more ministers to support King Yongchang, especially those who are still very vague! I will contact Cui Hao and others in this matter, and it is more appropriate for them to come forward. Before there is any news of King Le'an, you must pay attention to the thoughts and actions of the ministers, and if any of them are engaged in tandem, you must tell me as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that Zhao Junsheng's thoughts were clear, cautious and thoughtful, Zong Ai's confidence increased greatly for a while, "Okay, I will keep an eye on those ministers!" ”

Zhao Junsheng returned to Mulan's camp and said to Mulan, Lu Xuanbo and Oiran: "Let's move to the camp at the foot of the mountain, we can't stay here!" ”

The three of them were puzzled, and Mulan asked, "Why?" ”

"Although there are only more than 200 guards on the mountain, they are all people from Tuobana, the king of Gaochang, and Pi Louxian, the commander of the Ouchi guards, and both of them are inclined to the king of Le'an, we can't give them a chance, let's leave now! Oiran, hurry up and pack your things! ”

"Yes, uncle!" After agreeing, Oiran quickly packed up his hands and feet, and quickly packed his things and carried them on his back.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan walked down the mountain under the escort of Lu Xuanbo and Li Bao's personal soldiers.

"Mulan, how are your injuries?"

Hua Mulan replied: "Your healing medicine works very well, it is much better yesterday and today, it has only been four or five days, and the wounds have begun to scar, but there is still some weakness, which may be the cause of excessive blood loss!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Well, it's not good to only take medicine and food without nutrition, yesterday the brothers found a lot of cattle and sheep from around the original camp, and when I arrived at the camp, I asked the man to kill a sheep for you every day, but I can eat hard, and I will make up for it after a few days!" ”

"Poof-" Hua Mulan couldn't help laughing, lightly hit Zhao Junsheng, and said with a smile: "How can you eat a sheep a day?" I don't want to grow up like a big fat pig, I'm afraid that if I get fat to that point, you won't like me! ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "That can't be, I like it no matter what you become!" ”

"Hey, I don't believe it!" Mulan said that she didn't believe it, but in fact, she was beautiful in her heart.

When he returned to the camp at the bottom of the mountain, Zhao Junsheng called the man and really ordered him to kill a sheep for Mulan every day, and if Mulan couldn't finish eating, he would keep it, and the wound in his abdomen was not healed and needed to be repaired.

Hua Mulan saw that there were indeed many cattle and sheep in the camp, so she said to Zhao Junsheng: "Tomorrow, I will ask people to slaughter more, and send them to the ministers and generals on the mountain. ”

Zhao Junsheng listened to Mulan's words and explained the matter.

He also asked someone to vacate a camp tent next to the tooth tent for Mulan to live in, and he was busy for most of the hour, Hua Mulan's camp tent had just been set up, the mutton soup and mutton were cooked, and the speed of the men was really fast enough.

"Come, drink the soup first, then eat the meat!" Zhao Junsheng took the rice bowl from his own soldiers and put it on the low table to Mulan.

"You eat too!" Hua Mulan took another pair of chopsticks and put them in front of Zhao Junsheng, and poured some meat and mutton soup.

The little two ate with relish, and while eating, they talked about love, and their feelings were further deepened.

Before he finished eating, Li Bao's voice came from outside the tent: "General, the guards outside the camp gate have come to report, the secretary and supervisor Cui Zheng, the national teacher Kou Qianzhi, and Taichangqing Cui Hao are asking to see outside the camp!" ”

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but show a helpless look on his face when he heard this, and said to Mulan: "Look, you can't eat with peace of mind!" ”

Hua Mulan instructed Li Bao to the camp tent: "Li Bao, you go and invite the three ministers to wait for a while in the tent, and order someone to serve tea!" ”

"Yes, General Flower!"

After Li Bao left, Zhao Junsheng ate while eating: "Why doesn't he call you young lady?" It's weird! This guy is too eyeless! ”

Hua Mulan glanced at him: "This is in the barracks, of course you have to call the military position, not at home!" ”

The two of them sped up and finished eating and drinking, and came to the tooth tent together.

Zhao Junsheng saw that Cui Hao and the three of them were eating tea, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Let the Heavenly Master, Dongjun Gong, and Beiqiu Hou wait for a long time, it is the sin of the last general, the sin!" ”

The three of them did not stand up, but regarded Zhao Junsheng as a figure with the same status, and got up and bowed their hands together: "It's me who is disturbed, and I hope the general is not strange!" ”

"I know that the three of you are here to come to the camp of the last general, please sit down and talk about it in detail!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he helped Hua Mulan and knelt on the main seat on the left and right.

Cui Hao, Cui Hui and Kou Qianzhi bowed again and then knelt down.

"Looking at the general's complexion, there seems to be something wrong, could it be that the general is sick!" Kou Qianzhi's eyes are very good, he is already familiar with medical skills, and at a glance, he can see that Zhao Junsheng has injuries on his body.

Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said: "The Heavenly Master is really a master, the last general was injured in battle yesterday night, so that you have not been able to receive it in person several times today, it is really rude, but fortunately, the injury has been controlled!" ”

Kou Qianzhi was shocked: "Poor Daozhi knows that the general's martial arts are unfathomable, how can he be injured?" ”

"The Heavenly Master said that I am a mortal, even if the Heavenly God descends to the battlefield and is in danger of death!"

Cui Hao glanced at Kou Qian, and said to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan: "The two generals are safe now, I will be relieved to wait, let's get down to business!" Regarding the selection of the new emperor, General Zhao seemed to be more optimistic about King Yongchang yesterday night, I don't know if it's true or not? What does General Hua mean? ”

Hua Mulan smiled and said, "General Zhao's idea is the idea of the last general!" ”

Cui Hui, the secretary and supervisor, smiled, "Since I learned that General Zhao and General Hua are an unmarried couple, it is not strange that this official has the same attitude towards the two!" ”

Zhao Junsheng knew that these three people who came to him and Hua Mulan today must first test his true attitude, and they will continue to talk when they have the results.

"Dongjun Gong shouldn't ask this question, yesterday night in the handsome tent, the last general has already made it clear to the ministers that he supports the king of Yongchang, do you want to ask again today because you think that the last will be a half-hearted person?"

Kou Qianzhi hurriedly said: "Bo Yuan didn't mean this, the general should not misunderstand!" We just want to determine the true attitude of the general, since the general has made it clear, we will rest assured, we actually think that the king of Yongchang is more suitable than the king of Le'an to inherit the unification, the two generals and we are the same idea, should unite to jointly support the king of Yongchang to ascend the throne, whether it is out of consideration for the world of the Great Wei, or for us personally It is beneficial, I don't know what the two generals think? ”

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan glanced at each other, saw her nodding slightly, and said to Kou Qianzhi: "The words of the Heavenly Master coincide with me!" ”

Cui Hui stroked his palms and smiled: "With the general's soldiers and horses as the backing, this matter is half the success!" It's just that I'll wait for a good student to plan a little bit! ”

Cui Hao frowned and said: "Compared with supporting the King of Yongchang, it is more difficult to hide than supporting the King of Le'an, the most important thing is that the King of Yongchang does not know the news of His Majesty's death, and he is thousands of miles away, we need more time!" Moreover, at this time, I am afraid that King Le'an has received the news and is leading his army to rush here, which is very disadvantageous to us! ”

Zhao Junsheng was about to speak, a soldier walked in and whispered a few words in his ear, he listened to it and relayed it in Mulan's ear, Mulan frowned, got up and hugged his fist at Cui Hao and the others: "The last general will come when he goes!" ”

After Hua Mulan walked out of the camp, Zhao Junsheng said to Cui Hao and the others: "Zhugong, I just received the news of the scout Tanma, King Le'an is indeed on the way back at this time, there are still more than 8,600 soldiers and horses left in his right wing, and they are camping eighty miles north of Qionglong Ridge at this time, if there is no accident, they will arrive tomorrow night!" ”

Cui Hao's face changed, and he immediately said: "You must not let him lead the army back, otherwise the situation will be difficult to control!" The general only has 3,000 cavalry here, and if it really comes to the point where the sword and soldiers meet, we are afraid that we will suffer! ”

"Hahaha······" Zhao Junsheng laughed, "Although the Duke of Dongjun can rest assured, even if the last general only has 3,000 men and horses, he is not afraid of his more than 8,000 soldiers and horses!" What's more, the follow-up baggage team will arrive in the next two days, and there are more than 2,000 people, so it is not certain who will win and who will lose if they really want to fight! ”

Cui Hao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, we have to find a way to prevent him from leading the army back, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble!" I also had to send someone to inform King Yongchang as quickly as possible, and ask him to quickly speed the army to preside over the overall situation! ”

At this time, Hua Mulan walked in and said to Cui Hao and the others: "Don't worry, Cui Gong, I have already sent someone to inform King Yongchang as soon as possible late yesterday night!" And all the people sent out by the ministers on the mountain to ventilate and report the news were intercepted by our soldiers and horses, and until now, the news of the emperor's death has not leaked out! ”

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and Cui Hao said excitedly: "This is very good! We must send someone to pass a decree to King Le'an under the pretense of Emperor Daxing's decree, and order him to be stationed on the spot to prevent the worms from attacking our Western Route Army camp again! ”

Hua Mulan said with a smile: "Gonggong Zhongcao Zong has already brought the emperor's jade seal and a blank edict, how about asking the secretary and supervisor Cui Gong to write it?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zong Ai walked in with two henchmen and little eunuchs with jade seals and blank edicts.
