Concubine all over the world

Chapter 47
Li Muhan had mixed feelings in his heart at this moment.

He used to kill|slaughter so many barbarians, because the fire of hatred in his heart was cruel to them.Unexpectedly, it was the barbarians who rescued him at this critical moment.

Seeing the leopard approaching from the barbarian army recklessly, Li Muhan's handsome face actually felt a burning pain.

Li Muhan, who has always been rebellious and defiant, has to accept the fact that his defeated general will save him, which is psychologically uncomfortable.Furthermore, he was a barbarian, but killed so many compatriots, and he couldn't face the guilt.

These two kinds of feelings of embarrassment were mixed together, and Li Muhan was instantly at a loss for words.

However, this was just an inner emotion. On the outside, Li Muhan still kept his back straight, his expression cold and arrogant, aloof, sitting astride a horse like a god.Even if he was wrong, he seems to have no shame in admitting his mistake...

The majestic Huabao came in front of him, turned off his horse abruptly, held a long scimitar in his hand, and knelt down to meet him on one knee: "My minister Huabao sees the eldest prince, the rescue is late, and I hope the king of Yi will forgive me!"

Li Muhan was stunned for a while.

In an instant, a warm current flowed through my heart.

The meaning of this "big prince" is extraordinary.This is undoubtedly a kind of recognition, a forgiveness.

I recognized Li Muhan's identity and forgave the crimes Li Muhan had committed!
And this recognition and forgiveness came from Hua Bao, the former general of the barbarian army.

This meant that Li Muhan would gain the real support of the barbarian army.

Hua Leopard, as the Generalissimo of the barbarian soldiers and horses, had been insulted and beaten by him before, but at this time Hou was willing to kneel down to see him.

Li Muhan was astonished and moved, he couldn't help but dismounted from the horse, strode forward excitedly, and lifted the leopard up with his own hands.

"Old Marshal Hua, hurry up and get up!"

Hua Bao stood up with his support, and the two men with the same stature looked at each other face to face for the first time.

Li Muhan said: "Old Marshal Hua, in the past, because I was deceived by that despicable villain Li Xuqing, I didn't know that the blood flowing in my bones was also barbarian blood, so I committed the atrocities of killing my father and destroying the country, and now I feel deeply guilty! After all, the flesh and blood of our compatriots, today, Regardless of past suspicions, this king is truly grateful. Marshal Hua, today this king is willing to apologize to all the barbarian brothers in front of you!"

"Brothers of the barbarians, I am sorry to all of you. Today, I swear in front of you that I will cut off Li Xuqing's head and pay homage to my father! To comfort the spirits of the barbarian soldiers who died in battle! This king will also rebuild the barbarians. , so that all brothers can live and work in peace and contentment!"

Li Muhan ordered: "Bring the wine—"

Han Feng immediately asked someone to fetch it, and was about to pour the wine.But Li Muhan said with great pain: "No! I will carry them all to my father's grave, and I will admit my mistakes in front of my brothers in front of my father!"

The leopard was moved, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Please!"

"Please!"

When a group of people arrived at Hua Yiyang's grave, Han Feng stepped forward and poured a bowl of wine for Li Muhan, and Huabao also poured a bowl.For the rest of the soldiers in each row, the person at the front poured the wine and passed it on. Soon, everyone had a bowl of wine in their hands.

Li Muhan held up the bowl and said, "The first bowl, let's respect the emperor together! The unfilial son swears in front of the grave that one day he will cut off Li Xuqing's head, rebuild the barbarians, and avenge the emperor!"

He respectfully sprinkled this bowl of wine in front of the grave, and Hua Bao also sprinkled this bowl of wine and said: "I will do my best to assist the eldest prince and the little prince to restore the country. Please wait and see, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, the soldiers also drank the bowl of wine.

For the second bowl of wine, Li Muhan respected Hua Yiyang and the Manyi brothers, thanked them for ignoring past suspicions and apologized.

For the third bowl of wine, Li Muhan paid homage to the barbarian brothers who had died in battle, and repented deeply.

After three bowls of wine, Li Muhan said to Huabao with a serious and handsome face: "Everything yesterday is like death yesterday. Repentance, guilt, and vows are powerless to change the current situation. Our urgent task is to think about how to get together in a short period of time." More troops to capture the capital. It is really not my king's style to guard the border capital and be beaten passively!"

"Well, what the lord said is true!" Hua Bao agreed deeply.

Li Muhan glanced at the barbarian army brought by Huabao: "These brothers are estimated to have [-] people. Huabao, how many soldiers and horses do you have right now? Also, during this period of time, are you hiding with the little prince?" Where, why has it been so long since the proclamation was posted, but none of you have appeared?"

Huabao said: "It's a long story, we should go back to the house first, and Huabao should tell the truth."

Li Muhan readily agreed.

After a stick of incense, everyone returned to the border capital.Li Muhan, Huabao and all the generals gathered in the conference hall to discuss major issues.

Huabao talked about the cause and effect, as well as the current military strength and drills in Qixia Mountain.I've said everything, but I didn't mention Hua Man'er.

"So, you and the little prince have gathered a hundred thousand barbarian soldiers in Qixia Mountain?" Li Muhan immediately became energetic when he heard this exciting news.

He glanced at the generals, who were also very excited.

"Yes, my lord. In fact, there are not only [-]. The [-] are just soldiers. There are also about [-] old and weak women and children gathered there. They have nowhere to go. They are killing barbarians everywhere. They only I can hide there." Huabao explained one by one.

Li Muhan lowered his head slightly: "Fortunately, we have you! Now if the two soldiers are combined into one, there will be 15 troops. This king will march westward and attack the capital directly, and he will have the confidence!"

"No! My lord, the [-] troops cannot all be combined in one place. At most, my Huabao and the [-] troops I brought can be used by the lord. The remaining [-] troops in Qixia Mountain must be kept in place for later. Hou Jiaji!" Hua Bao immediately refused.

Li Muhan paused, and a sneer slowly appeared on the corner of his lips: "Why? Don't you trust me?"

"No! No! Let's see where the prince wants to go?" Huabao quickly explained, "We are both barbarians, and the prince is the eldest prince. Is there any reason not to trust him? It's just for military needs. Prince, Huabao has been thinking about it in Qixia Mountain recently. There are many, so I drew this battle road map, please take a look at it, is it reasonable?"

Huabao took out a picture, rolled the scroll away, and spread it on the table.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of Li Muhan and all the generals.

This map is drawn vividly, including mountains, rivers, landforms, and state and county passes.

When Han Feng saw the map, a figure flashed in his mind, and he frowned and asked, "Old Marshal Hua, did you draw this map?"

Hua Leopard paused, Fang Zhan opened his face and smiled exaggeratedly: "Yes, I drew it. General Han, did you think that a vulgar person like me can draw?"

"Oh——" Han Feng's tone was somewhat suspicious, but he also slightly curled his lips in praise, "The painting is very good! I didn't expect that Marshal Hua is also capable of both civil and military skills. He is good at machetes, and he is also good at painting brushes! "

"Hahahaha——" Huabao sneered, and hurriedly changed the topic, "The point is not the old man's painting skills, but these two routes. Please see, if our barbarian army divides into two groups and goes straight to the capital of Jozhao , isn't it better?"

As he spoke, he pointed his fingers on the map.

"Look, the eldest prince led [-] soldiers and horses to set off from the border capital, captured Qingqu, Chenpi, Daze, Anlan, and Suijia along the way, and finally went straight to the capital. A total of five prefectures were captured. The crown prince will lead [-] soldiers and horses, and he only needs to conquer Huangning and Huaijia, and eventually he can go straight to the capital."

As soon as Hua Bao finished speaking, Ge Xiong immediately became furious.

"It's not fair! Why does the eldest prince lead [-] soldiers and horses, and he has to capture five state capitals before he can directly take the capital? And the little prince only needs to capture two state capitals to take the capital? What are you doing? Heart? Don’t you want to learn from the historical allusions, two teams of soldiers and horses, whoever enters the capital first, will not be able to sit on the dragon chair?”

The upright Ge Xiongzhi spoke his words so loudly that the entire meeting hall fell silent for an instant.

"Ge Xiong," Li Muhan yelled, "What are you talking about, step aside!"

Ge Xiong's expression darkened immediately, and he took a step back resentfully, the leopard's eyes confronted the leopard's, and after a moment of lightning intertwined, Han Feng's back blocked in front of him.

General Han did it on purpose, and Ge Xiong knew it.

Li Muhan curled his lips lightly, and smiled faintly: "General Ge is indeed ignorant. However, his doubts are normal. This problem will have to be faced sooner or later, so it is better to open the skylight and speak out. Old Marshal Hua is afraid that I, an adult, will bully children Are you still worried and unwilling to hand over the barbarian army you have worked so hard to gather into the hands of this king?"

"Haha——" Hua Bao seemed to be stunned for a long time, then raised his head and smiled, "The prince and General Ge are worrying too much! The little prince is a prince, and the prince is also a prince. They are brothers and a family. How can they be divided?" each other?"

"Then why are the troops divided into two groups?" Han Feng asked.

"It's entirely a strategic need," Huabao replied, "Isn't this an outnumbered enemy? Even if our two armies are combined, that's 15 troops, while the Jokhang army has 70 to [-]. Combined There are many difficulties in fighting, even if you win by luck, you must suffer heavy losses and it is very dangerous."

Li Muhan pondered and said: "There is some truth to it, let's continue."

"So, let's divide our troops into two groups. We attacked the city and plundered the land in the open, which caused Li Xuqing to concentrate most of his troops on this route to deal with us. When the troops arrived at Anlan or Suijia, the little prince led his troops with lightning speed. We captured the capital in a deceptive manner, and at that time, the Jokha soldiers would be in a dilemma, and we would be able to take the capital in one go!"

Leopard explained.

"So that's the case—" Han Feng and other generals all looked relieved.

Huabao stared at Li Muhan's still gloomy icy eyes, and said with a smile: "What the lord is worried about will never happen. Didn't you say that when our troops arrive in Anlan or Suijia, the little prince will send troops again? So, actually In fact, the distance to the capital is the same. If the distance is the same, it is very likely that the prince will enter the capital first."

"Besides, the little prince has no intention of earning the throne at all. The little prince himself said that if the prince will treat him kindly in the future, treat the barbarian sister well, and treat all the barbarians kindly, then it will be the same for the eldest prince to sit on the dragon chair. After all, the eldest prince is The eldest son has outstanding abilities, but the young prince is still young and may not be able to manage state affairs like the eldest prince. Therefore, I dare not say it, but I must sit on the dragon chair."

"Right now, the most important task is to take Li Xuqing's head. As for the rest, let's talk about it later."

"If the prince is really worried, then Huabao can also represent the little prince and make an agreement with the prince not to take the order of entering Beijing as a condition for obtaining the throne, how about it?"

After Huabao finished speaking, she looked at Li Muhan calmly and frankly.

Li Muhan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Okay! What Marshal Hua said, one thing and another, are all reasonable, and thoughtful, which has to be admirable. Let's wait until the time to make a decision! The troops will be divided into two groups, and they will fight each other. The plan is very clever! Let’s follow the plan of Marshal Hua! Marshal Hua is worthy of being a veteran in the battlefield, and he really has a deep strategy! Admire! Admire!”

Hao Ran, the Leopard, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said politely: "Where, where..."

"Today we won a big battle, we got soldiers and horses, we made a battle line, and we settled down with Marshal Hua. It's such a happy event, it's worth having a drink, brothers! Come, prepare a feast! Today, we'll have a drink to our heart's content A cup! I also take this opportunity to let the brothers get to know each other. Although most of the people in the headquarters under the king are from Dazhao, they are all loyal to the king. Marshal Hua and the brothers can rest assured—”

During these days, it was rare for Li Muhan to show a happy expression like today.

So all the generals were delighted.

But everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm, and this is the carnival before the death on the battlefield.

No one noticed that outside the window of the meeting hall, a beautiful and refined woman stood there quietly, listening | silently...

On Qixia Mountain, Huaman'er received a letter from Huabao.

After reading, I saw Huabao wrote: "His Royal Highness, Huabao has acted according to the princess' plan, and has also told the king of Yi according to the princess's words, and the king of Yi agreed."

"His Royal Highness, Yichen Guan, the eldest prince, is not indifferent to the throne. If he really doesn't want to sit on the throne, he must make it clear and push it decisively. However, King Yi has not made it clear and is ambiguous, which shows that he actually cares about the throne. "

"Also, please rest assured, Your Highness, the whereabouts of Her Highness. The minister did not mention it to King Yi. Moreover, the minister pretended to ask to see Her Highness through a banquet, but was rejected. I don't think they will suspect that Her Highness may be gone. In Qixia Mountain."

"It's just that I privately feel that Her Majesty the Princess is too wronged. Why do you hide it? If Her Majesty helps him like this, if he is not moved and doesn't treat you well, we will definitely not spare him lightly! Now we are all soldiers, and he With few soldiers, I don't believe that he won't be afraid of three points!"

Hua Man'er read the letter, smiled faintly, and was about to fold it up.

Huaqiu and Hualuofu asked for a look.

Hua Man'er handed the letter to them casually.

After they had seen it, they looked at each other, and felt sorry for Hua Man'er.

Hua Qiu said: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, why do you bother to hide it? This may be the best time for him to beg you to go back, why not take this opportunity to make things difficult for him, and we will back you up. If he doesn't come and beg you to go back, you I won't go back!"

"Yes, yes, be arrogant." The younger Hua Luofu immediately echoed, "Let's help you teach him a good lesson."

Hua Man'er glanced at them with a smile, and warned: "Don't worry too much! This princess is not that hypocritical! I know this is a great opportunity. However, I have no intention of going back, so why should I seize this opportunity? After capturing the capital, this princess will really retire and wander the rivers and lakes."

"Hey, is the princess really so disappointed in her husband? Don't want to give him another chance!"

Hua Man'er lowered her long eyelashes, dejectedly, and sighed softly: "It's not all because of Li Muhan. You captured the capital in order to take the head of Li Xuqing. This was originally for the justice of the world. But he This is my biological father. Although I have broken away from the relationship between father and daughter, but the blood nature does exist. But I helped you to take his life. It is really wrong to be a child."

"Oh—it's really not easy for a princess—" Hua Qiu and Hua Luofu sighed after hearing this.

Hua Man'er smiled wryly, with a sad smile on his face: "I can hide in Qixia Mountain to strategize, but I can't enter the capital to face Li Suiqing. So, when I can enter the capital one day, I won't go. You have to take good care of the little prince .Protect him!"

Hua Qiu and Hua Luofu were also sad when they heard the words, they didn't know how to comfort them.

After a while Hua Qiufang said: "Oh, if you are really our barbarian princess, how wonderful it would be! At least, you won't be in such pain like now!"

Hua Man'er said sadly: "Many things are predestined. Who made us born into the royal family? Because Li Muhan and I are members of the royal family, our identities have been swapped, right? Therefore, I also entrust One thing for you, please keep it in mind!"

"Princess has something to do, just tell me!" Hua Qiu and Hua Luofu listened respectfully.

Hua Man'er hugged Hua Zehao over and said: "Listen, according to my prediction, the throne should be succeeded by Li Muhan in the end. He is a domineering person, and it is not difficult to get the throne. His fighting will only lead to more casualties, which is completely unnecessary. Besides, Zehao is still young, and he is indeed not suitable for managing the government. Therefore, one day when you enter the capital, you can fight for the little prince, but you can't really fight for it. In the end, you still have to fight. If you want to support King Yi's ascension to the throne, don't forget about the dragon chair anymore. Let Li Muhan seal Zehao as the Happy King. It will show that Zehao has no intention of competing with him for the throne!"

Hua Qiu was confused: "If so, why are you fighting again now?"

Hua Man'er said: "We must fight. After fighting, King Yi will not bully the young prince, so he dare not underestimate the prince. Let him know that Zehao is protected by you generals, so he will not take action easily."

"However, the princess is still not at ease because he treats the little prince well just relying on his self-awareness and sense of responsibility. Therefore, the division of troops proposed by the princess is not only a strategic need, but also for the little prince's consideration."

"Leading the armies separately to attack the capital, in the future people in the world will say that the little prince deserves half of the credit for restoring the country, and it will be of great benefit to Zehao's reputation. Therefore, this move must be taken. Fight or not , all to protect the little prince."

"Hua Qiu, according to this intention, please write a letter to Hua Qiu on behalf of the princess. Let him act according to this intention in the future."

"Yes, princess!" Hua Qiu respectfully agreed.

Hua Luofu praised: "The princess is so thoughtful, she is really a god!"
