I joined the army for my father, and I took Hua Mulan to build infrastructure.

Chapter 139: Little separation is better than that

Ye Nan pulled Hua Mulan to sit down and then said with admiration: "Sister Mulan, you came just in time. My camp has run out of food. You are my timely help. Come on, give me another hug!"

Hua Mulan quickly supported Ye Nan's little head with her hands and said funnyly: "You naughty little girl should not thank me, but should thank the Emperor. I received an order from the Emperor the day before yesterday, asking me to prepare a cow." The sheep are coming to meet you.”

Ye Nan:......

Well, I shouldn't spit on the shameless emperor behind his back, but he didn't tell me either.

Hua Mulan smiled and said: "Take me quickly to see the emperor. We will have plenty of time to reminisce in the future."

Ye Nan was right to think about it. If word reached the emperor's ears that Hua Mulan came to see Ye Nan first and then the emperor, who knows what the stingy emperor would think?
So Ye Nan took Hua Mulan to the camp of the Chinese army in the rear to meet the emperor.

Tuoba Tao was now wearing a military uniform with shiny armor. He looked at the map in the tent with burning eyes, and then listened to Ye Nan and Hua Mulan's request to see him.

He said, "Let them come in."

Only then did the two of them enter the emperor's tent.

"Last General Hua Mulan (Ye Nan), pay homage to Your Majesty!" The two of them saluted.

Tuoba Tao smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite in the army. General Hua, have you brought the cattle and sheep that I ordered you to prepare?"

Hua Mulan said: "Your Majesty, we have been sent to the forward camp."

Tuoba Tao nodded and said: "That's good. The late emperor once said that General Hua has the talent to lead. Today I just want to test you. If you are the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, how should you fight this battle!"

Hua Mulan's name was also included in the suicide note left to him by the late emperor. He bluntly said that Hua Mulan had the talent to judge the situation and control the details. This kind of talent is a suitable commander of an army.

As for Ye Nan, don’t even ask her, she will definitely tell you: Brothers, come with me and go on a rampage and chop Da Tan to death...

Tuoba Tao was a pragmatic person, and he also wanted to hear what was so remarkable about Hua Mulan that the late emperor praised, so he asked Hua Mulan to show her own fighting skills as soon as they met.

As the military general in the Northern Wei Dynasty who was closest to the Han court in Rouran, Hua Mulan probably knew best how to attack the Rouran people.

Hua Mulan walked to the edge of the map and said, "The general guesses that your majesty wanted to raid Rouran Hanting and catch Rouran off guard. As for the other four armies, he should have sent them as bait to lure Da Tan to divide his troops." To relieve the Rouran tribe on the grassland."

Ye Nan just clapped his little hands to applaud Hua Mulan!

The analysis is so right!
Sister Mulan is indeed my idol and best friend. She exposed the emperor's conspiracy in just a few words.

Tuoba Tao had to admire the late emperor's vision at this time. Hua Mulan was so amazing!
So he asked: "So, does General Hua have any suggestions or opinions on this kind of warfare? I think you have something to say, so let's talk about it one by one."

Hua Mulan cupped her fists and saluted, and asked, "Does your Majesty know the situation of Rouran Han Court in the past year?"

This brings us to the point. The emperor really doesn’t know the specific situation of Rouran Hanting. He only knows that the Rouran people built a Hanting in the northwest, and knows nothing else.

Tuoba Tao shook his head and said: "In this regard, I have been negligent. The Wei State has not done any detailed work to infiltrate Rouran. It seems that General Hua already knows the specific situation, so it is up to General Hua to tell me." Hua Mulan nodded. Then he said: "The general has also led troops deep into the grassland. The most recent time was in the past few days. The general heard a terrible thing from a tongue. These Rouran people are actually learning from our Wei State, and they are also reusing the Han people. As an official, imitate me, the Great Wei Dynasty, and forge heavy cavalry armor!"

"What!!! The Rouran people are actually imitating the founding of our Wei State and its strong army. These Rourans are squirming and have their heads opened!" Tuoba Tao sighed.

Hua Mulan said again: "Your Majesty, more than that, the general suspects that the Rouran people already possess weapons that only the Han people can make, so we have to guard against them!"

Tuoba Tao frowned and said: "Han people's weapons? General Hua, please tell me in detail."

Hua Mulan said with a serious face: "Bed crossbow, catapult!"

Tuoba Tao took a breath. If the heavy cavalry of this era has natural enemies, this crossbow is definitely a great weapon against the heavy cavalry!
The bed crossbow was a powerful weapon for defending the city, and the Wei State also equipped it with a lot. However, it was not easy to carry. It often required hundreds of people to operate the winch. Only on the side of the main battlefield could it be possible to carry the bed crossbow.

At this moment, Tuoba Tao’s head was so big!
It turns out that the plastic brother Rouran has been secretly imitating the Wei State in building construction, and has changed from a tribal system to a khanate system!
The most important thing is that they also began to learn from the fact that the Wei State valued the Han people. God knows what deadly things the Rouran people could come up with during the battle between the two armies.

You must know that the entire grassland can be said to be Rouran's main battlefield. Wei is fighting away from home. If the war reaches a stalemate, Tuoba Tao will definitely be the passive one!
I thought it was a battle to destroy the country that I was determined to win, but I didn't expect that there were these variables. Tuoba Tao was really riding a tiger at this time, and he was helpless.

So he humbly asked for advice: "General Hua, do you have a solution? Now that Rouran Hanting has the strength to fight our country Wei head-on, the plan has to be changed slightly."

Hua Mulan thought for a while, then looked at Ye Nan and said, "The biggest variable in this battle is the champion general, Ye Nan!"

Tuoba Tao became interested and asked: "Oh! What do you say?"

Hua Mulan pointed to the location of the Rouran Han Court and said: "We can continue His Majesty's strategy and make it look like we are about to attack the Rouran Khan Court, attracting the main combat force of the Rouran people, and then let General Ye go back. Go and attack the Rouran Khan Court. Only in this way can you have a chance of victory."

This is another gamble!
But the bet is on Ye Nan, and this is the best news.

The only one who takes the risk is Tuoba Tao, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. As the saying goes, king versus king, adversary will. With the emperor in front to attract firepower, Datan will definitely put the focus of defense on Tuoba Tao!
But the premise is that Tuoba Tao is willing to implement this plan.

I saw Tuoba Tao laughing and saying: "General Hua is really powerful! A year ago, the late emperor also used it as bait to attract the main force of Rouran to attack, creating opportunities for another army. So today, I should follow the example of the late emperor and become a general." Return the bait! Marquis Zhongyong, I will leave the important task of defeating the Han Dynasty of Rouran to you!"

Ye Nan:???
what's the situation?
More than 200,000 people marched into Rouran, and now they actually say that I can influence the direction of the war. When did I, Ye Nan, have so much energy?

We really don't know how to lead troops to attack a city alone!
"Um, well, there is a little problem here, General. I haven't attacked the city yet, so I'm afraid I will disappoint His Majesty..."

Tuoba Tao waved his big hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I trust you, just go ahead and do it!"

Ye Nan:......

So panicked! Sister Mulan makes me unable to fish!
