Encountering small-scale ambushes in a row, Hua Rong's nerves that had been tense slowly relaxed.

He immediately smiled at the left and right: "It seems that Yuan Tan's troops are insufficient, even if he sets up an ambush, it is such a small scale." If that is the case, then why should we be afraid of him? Saving people is like fighting fire, everyone marches with all their might, and strives to enter Changbaigou tomorrow evening and meet Taishi Ziyi! ”

With Hua Rong's order, nearly 8,000 Han troops stepped up, hoping to cross this rugged valley before dark, looking for a wide and flat place to set up camp.

The team walked another seven or eight miles, and the road was even more rugged and narrow, and the narrowest point could only accommodate one carriage to pass through, and one more war horse could not be added. This made Hua Rong frown secretly, and summoned the guide over and asked, "Is there any other way from here to Changbaigou in Zouping?" ”

The guide arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the general, in addition to this mountain road, if you want to reach Changbaigou, you need to take a detour to Le'an, which will more than double the distance." ”

"Forget it then!"

Hua Rong had to give up the plan to change the route, from the place where he is now to Changbaigou where Tai Shici was trapped, there is still about seventy miles away, if you detour to Le'an, then you have to walk another hundred and forty miles, the continuous rapid march is a great test for the soldiers' body.

At that moment, Hua Rong ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and sent dozens of scouts to the front to investigate the enemy's situation. About half an hour later, the scout came to report: "General Qiyu, no trace of the enemy has been found ahead, please let the general know with peace of mind!" ”

"The whole army is in a hurry, day or night, and you must cross this mountain road before you can camp and rest!" Hua Rong spear moves. Hurry forward with your troops.

The whole army trekked through the rugged mountain roads and walked another ten miles. It was getting dark. Hua Rong ordered to bury the pot on the spot to make rice, and light the torch after eating. Marched overnight.

Dark nights, hillsides, jungles, treacherous paths.

Gao Huan divided his 8,000 soldiers into several groups, set up two groups of small-scale ambushes in front, and carefully selected 5,000 of the most elite soldiers, in the most dense vegetation, and it happened that the Han army was going to hide in the middle of the night, and successfully concealed Hua Rong's scouts.

Gao Huan is a thoughtful person. Fearing that the main force led by himself would not be able to kill Hua Rong, he hid the remaining nearly 3,000 people in the mountains. He instructed his lieutenant to wait for the Han army to come out of the hidden place and set up an ambush on the retreat of the Han army, and ambush the Han army again when Hua Rong led his troops to retreat, so as to try to kill the Han army as much as possible.

"Here, the Han army is coming!"

The night was dark, and the sound of people shouting and neighing gradually sounded in the mountain road. Winding torches came from afar.

"The whole army is ready for an ambush, just wait for the general to give an order, and then fire arrows in unison!" Gao Huan's face was gloomy and he said coldly.

Received the command of the Lord. The Yuan army, which was hidden on both sides of the mountain road, bent their bows and arrows, wound their crossbows, and secretly prepared rolling stones and wood. Just waited for Gao Huan to give an order, and then fired arrows in unison.

Hua Rong walked cautiously at the front of the line. From time to time, I looked up and saw trees on both sides of the mountain road. The withered grass was dense, and he couldn't help frowning: "Where are the scouts, go to the mountains to investigate and see if there is anything abnormal?" ”

"No!"

At Hua Rong's orders, seven or eight sturdy scouts hung their scimitars around their waists and prepared to climb the hillside.

Suddenly, a drum sounded, and the torches on both sides of the mountain road suddenly rang out in unison, and the sound of killing was overwhelming.

With Gao Huan's order, five thousand Yuan soldiers appeared at the same time, bows and crossbows fired in unison, and for a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, overwhelming. The grinding disc-like rolling stones made a "clang" sound and fell from the sky.

Suddenly encountered an ambush, the Han army was suddenly in chaos, and was shot down by crossbow arrows, and countless people were knocked down by rolling stones and wood.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Hua Rong couldn't help but be anxious and angry, even though he was cautious, he was still ambushed by Yuan's army. And judging from the series of confusing methods used by the other party, it is obviously not an ordinary martial artist, he is a thoughtful and cunning guy like a fox.

Hua Rong wielded a spear and struggled to dial the carving feather, but the arrow rain was too dense, pouring down like hail, a little careless, the shoulder and back were hit by several arrows, "Peng" sound, and was hit on the head by a piece of wood, and suddenly felt the world spinning, and fell from the horse.

"Herald...... Let the flower arc lead the troops to retreat quickly, and the food ...... Don't ...... anymore."

Hua Rong shouted with all his might, and was immediately buried by the rolling wood and rolling stones.

At the same time, Liu Wei, who had been reviewing and folding until late at night, put down the imperial pen in his hand and was about to visit Wu Ruyi.

Wu's belly grew up day by day, and it had exceeded the due date for some days, and it was delayed in giving birth, which made Liu Wei very worried. Directly sent someone to Wancheng to summon Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, and Li Shizhen, the three major miracle doctors, to come back for consultation, and they are currently on the way.

"Ding-dong...... Remind the host that Hua Rong dies in battle, and the host gets a resurrection fragment, and currently has a total of twelve resurrection fragments. ”

"What? Hua Rong is dead? Liu Bian's heart was shocked, and a sense of sadness suddenly filled his heart.

After three years of imperial career and three years of southern and northern wars, Liu Wei has become accustomed to life and death. One by one, famous generals disappeared from his subordinates to another world, Chen Qingzhi, Lu Zhi, Jiang Qin, Ji Ling, Pan Zhang, etc., both summoned from time and space, as well as local generals in this world. But Liu Wei has never been so sad as he is now!

On martial arts, command, intelligence, and politics, no matter from that aspect, Hua Rong is only afraid that he can't even rank in the top 30 under the current Liu Wei. And he has no outstanding military exploits, he has always been a deputy general who plays soy sauce, but he is the second military general after Mu Guiying and was summoned by Liu Wei. And now, Hua Rong has left him, how can Liu Wei not sigh and be sad?

"Damn Yuan Shao, I want to drive the expedition in person!" Liu Wei clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he was murderous.

Zheng He, who didn't know what was going on, was taken aback: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Wei also knew that he had lost his temper, Hua Rong had just died in battle, and he couldn't leak the news now, so he could only bury this sad news in his heart for the time being.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the pace of unification is a little slow. The Qingzhou Corps led by Li Yaoshi besieged Yuan Shao's main force for more than three months, and it was time to eliminate Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao can't be destroyed for another half a month, I will wait for Zhao Yun and Wei Chigong to return to Beijing, and then personally conquer Qingzhou and destroy Yuan Shao as soon as possible! ”

Liu Wei accepted his sad feelings, put on a domineering and arbitrary expression, and strode towards the mansion where Wu Ruyi lived.

At this moment, several palace maids hurriedly came, sweating profusely and couldn't hide their joy: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Wu Niangniang has given birth, and the mother and child are safe......"

"Raw?"

Liu Wei was both surprised and a little relieved, no matter what, it is his own woman after all, and the child is also his own flesh and blood, and it is naturally the best news to be able to keep the mother and child safe, "Is it a prince?" ”

"If you avoid it, it is indeed a prince, weighing thirteen pounds and five taels (equivalent to about eight pounds now), and the tiger head and tiger brain are very cute!" The palace maid said cautiously with a smiling face.

Liu Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering to himself in his heart: "I am indeed the life of a group of heirs, I hope that Wu Ruyi will give birth to a daughter." ”

"Your Majesty, Niangniang is waiting for you to name the prince in the palace!" According to Wu Ruyi's advice, the palace maid cautiously proposed to build yì.

"I'm going!"

Liu Wei agreed, and strode towards the dormitory where Wu Ruyi was. Life is like this, there is life and death, today there is Hua Rong's death in battle, and there is also the birth of Wu's son, even if he is the son of heaven, but he can't help the will of heaven.

The successful birth of a boy finally made Wu Ruyi's heart bloom, and the heart that had been hanging was like a stone falling to the ground. When he saw the Son of Heaven, his eyebrows and eyes were full of charming and delicate colors, and he called softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is fortunate not to disgrace her life, and she gave birth to a boy for the Han family, and please give her a name!" ”

Of course, having another son made Liu Wei feel happy, but Hua Rong's death in battle also made Liu Wei a little sad, and he was not too excited. This made Wu Ruyi slightly disappointed, but Liu Wei couldn't tell others his feelings.

"My child gave birth so late, and it made Aiji suffer!" Liu Wei stroked Wu's hair lightly, and comforted him softly, "I named Wu'er Liu Zhi, the word Shimin, and crowned the King of Bohai." ”

Because of Hua Rong's death in battle, Liu Wei didn't rack his brains anymore, and casually named her son according to Wu Ruyi's previous life, Liu Zhi, Liu Shimin, well, your former husband is now your son.

"Thank you!" Wu Ruyi struggled to get up and thanked him.

"Ai Ji is exempt!" Liu Wei signaled that Wu Ruyi did not need to give a salute, thought for a while, and said loudly: "The Wu family has a meritorious child, the Lu family is full of loyalty, I will crown you as a concubine here, and after the full moon, I will move into the Jingning Palace." I also hope that Concubine Ai will be able to behave with 'virtue' from now on, convince people with virtue, and don't live up to my high hopes! ”

When Liu Wei announced the canonization, he emphasized the word "virtue", hoping that Wu Ruyi could hear his own voice clearly and live up to his love.

What kind of person is Wu Ruyi, he can naturally understand the words emphasized in the emperor's words, but he can be promoted to concubine, and he is only one step away from the queen, and from now on, he can be on an equal footing with Mu Guiying.

"Thank you for the canonization of Your Majesty, the concubines must remember the teachings of Your Majesty, assist the queen mother and the queen's sister, and take care of the entire harem." Wu Ruyi ignored the postpartum weakness and insisted on getting up to thank him.

Just when Wu Ruyi was overjoyed, Mulan was leading the army to fight to the death.

Hearing that her brother died in battle, Mulan was full of grief and indignation, took off her helmet and revealed her hair, and knelt on the ground: "Brother, please rest assured, Mulan swears to avenge you!" ”

When the words fell, Mulan stood up, looked at the enemy troops on the top of the mountain who were constantly throwing stones, and gritted her teeth and shouted: "Sons, climb the mountain with me, kill happily, and avenge the dead brothers!" ”

At the same time, the system in Liu Wei's mind sounded again: "Ding Dong...... Mulan's attribute 'male and female' is stimulated, Mulan: male and female - when the female character is revealed, the command power is +5, the force is +3, the morale of the subordinate troops increases, the fighting spirit increases, and some soldiers have the opportunity to force +1" (to be continued......
