The big tent of the former commander of the Chinese army has become Bai Xiaolingtang. The Tang character dragon flag on the top of the tent was replaced by a spirit-summoning white flag. Dozens of miles of camp mourning, white coins flying.

The grief and indignation of the officers and men of the Tang Army finally reached its peak three days later.

Throughout the camp, groups of three or five gathered into groups, all talking about the shamelessness and filth of the Tubo people's assassination of Qin Mubai. In addition, the Kansai Army was originally a mourning soldier who came from mourning, and there was still the blood revenge of the old handsome Qin Shubao before that, and now there is a new hatred!

The grief and indignation in everyone's hearts finally gathered to the apex, close to the edge of an outbreak.

In the past, the obedient and obedient I pawn also dared to question the team, why the general did not send troops to conquer the Garqin Mausoleum, and avenge the blood hatred of the young marshal's father and son; The public was angry, and the team couldn't hold it down, so they had to report to the brigade commander; The brigade commander, who has the same suspicion and grief, reported to the captain, and then to the captain...... Lieutenant generals, generals, generals, layer upon layer!

Finally on the morning of this day, hundreds of big I generals gathered in front of the mourning hall, all wrapped their helmets and arms in white silk, and came together to question why Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun did not mention revenge, and sent tens of thousands of generals to sign a bloody war silk letter, vowing to fight to the death with Tubo!

The crowd is high, and the will of the people is difficult to disobey.

Originally, in the Kansai army of Dafeichuan, below Qin Mubai, the highest rank was Xue Wanjun. But Hou Junji is the marching Sima and Yifu Zhonglang general under Qin Mubai, that is, the general staff of the whole army and Qin Mubai's henchman, so in fact, Hou Junji's identity is more important.

In the past, when Qin Mubai was there, Hou Junji and Xue Wan were evenly matched; Now that Qin Mubai is gone, Dafei Sichuan is Xue Wanjun's territory, and Hou Junji is an outsider, so Xue Wanjun has taken some initiative.

At this time, Xue Wanjun, like the generals who came to ask for his life, was fighting with one force; If it weren't for Hou Junji's bitter persuasion, he, a fierce general with blood and square gang, would have been like Yuwen Hongtai, raising the Shenwu cannon and leading his troops to rush out, looking for Garqinling to fight to the death.

In front of the mourning hall, Bai Manmao knelt down, and the generals kept shouting one after another, "Send troops to take revenge, fight to the death!" ”

"Hou Junji, you have seen it all, and it is difficult for everyone to do it." Xue Wanjun and Hou Junji knelt side by side in front of the coffin and burned paper money, and then said in a low voice, "No one can replace the position of the young marshal in the Kwantan Army. Even if he's gone, you can't. ”

"What do you mean?" Hou Junji was a little annoyed, "Could it be that I, Hou someone, am the kind of self-inferior I person, who would take advantage of such a situation to seize military power for his own use?" ”

"What you think, only you know." Xue Wanjun glanced at him indifferently and said, "Now there is no one who is in Dafeichuan who doesn't want to avenge the young marshal." Only you, Hou Junji, are the exception. Actually, the person who should avenge the young marshal the most should be you? If it weren't for the young marshal's efforts to promote and hire you exceptionally, you would still be just a degraded official and a wasted person who has a dispensable drunken dream of death. ”

"Xue Wanjun, the young marshal's bones are not cold, I don't want to argue and conflict with you. There are gods three feet above his head, Hou can show the sun and the moon in his heart, and he doesn't need to explain nonsense to you. Hou Junji's face tightened, and he said coldly, "I only know that now we must focus on the overall situation, and we must not act righteously." Originally, the Tibetan army was stronger than us, and if we acted recklessly and impulsively, there would only be one result, defeat. At present, there is no one in the whole army who is calm and rational, and he cannot defeat the Garqin Mausoleum by virtue of hatred and blood courage alone. Otherwise, how could we wait until today? ”

"Hou Junji, you are not mean! Can say such cool words! Xue Wanjun couldn't hold it back, and suddenly pointed at Hou Junji and scolded angrily, "According to your words, if the old handsome is dead, we should be indifferent; The young marshal is dead, and we have to shrink back? Reckless impulsiveness is not good, but if there is no righteousness and blood in life, how is it different from grass, wood, pigs and dogs? - I, Xue, would rather be a criminal general of the defeated army than a merciless and unrighteous person! ”

"Good! General Xue said it well!! The soldiers outside the hall actually cheered loudly and cheered.

"What are you arguing about?" Suddenly, a tall body stood up, it was Yuwen Hongtai.

This typical reckless man who was wild and untamable in the past was a little calm at this time. He stood up, his eyes were a little cold like ice cubes, and swept over the people inside and outside the hall one by one, and said in a low voice: "Get out, get out." ”

The people who were accustomed to Yuwen Hongtai yelling and yelling were silent for a while.

"Do you hear that, get out." Yuwen Hongtai said calmly and lightly as if he was gossiping, "If you want to quarrel or kill, you will get far away, and Hugh will quarrel until my third brother sleeps." ”

Everyone immediately felt ashamed together, and they also faintly felt a pain in their hearts, and they all got up silently, and left the mourning hall.

Yuwen Hongtai still knelt down in front of Qin Mubai's corpse, burning paper money page by page, and whispered as if chatting: "Third brother, even you are gone, what do I have to do alive?" What kind of fart fight, what kind of dog head, what wife to marry, what children to have, it's all boring. In the past, as long as I followed you, I drank cold water and chewed old noodles every day to live a delicious life, even if I was hit by the board, I was happy and comfortable. But now...... God the hell is blind dogs, so many people who are good to die, why don't they die? If we want to say that we don't fight Tibet, we should fight the sky and create this thief's rebellion. I'm going to get the first one out of him and let him let you go. If you don't follow me, I'll go down with a golden bell and smash his head! ……”

Babbling, nonsense, endless.

The generals chased Hou Junji unrelentingly until they entered his tent.

"Hou Junji, I told you so!" Xue Wanjun straightened up and stood in front of Hou Junji, and said, "If only I, Xue, want to take revenge and give up, I am willing to listen to you, who made you my former boss, and even more so the marching Sima?" Now, all the soldiers in the whole army are going to take revenge, and I can't be their master. In a word, it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, and it is difficult to offend the anger of the people, you can watch it. ”

Hou Junji coldly swept over the dozens of senior soldiers in the tent and said, "Then what do you want?" ”

"Ji sent troops, dispatched military horses, and fought to the death with the Garqin Mausoleum!"

"All the soldiers?"

"Of course."

"I can't do it." Hou Junji replied categorically and said, "I can understand the anger in your heart that you love the young marshal. But have you ever thought about how heartbreaking it would be if the entire Kansai army was buried because of this, and if the young marshal had a spirit in the sky? ”

Everyone was speechless. Xue Wanjun sighed and said, "Okay, what do you say?" ”

"Since it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, I am powerless to stop you. However, the Kwantai Army, which was left behind by the young marshal, must not be allowed to turn into a rabble. Even if you want to take revenge and fight, you must plan before acting, properly arrange your troops and arrange them reasonably. Hou Junji said, "Actually, I'm not like you, I want to fight to the death with the Garqin Mausoleum." However, hatred and blood alone will not work. ”

"You are the marching Sima, how you say how to fight, we will listen to you!" The generals shouted together.

Hou Junji stood up and stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at the generals in the tent, and nodded, "Okay!" — but before I do that, I have an important proposition. You have to approve it, and we will take out the talisman to send the troops! ”

"You say."

"The young marshal has just passed away, and the dragons of Dafeichuan have no leader. It is imperative that someone be invited to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the situation. Hou Junji paused for a moment after speaking, and then said, "Don't look at me, Hou knows that you have always treated me as an outsider, and Hou also knows that he has neither merit nor prestige when he has come here, and the person I am talking about is not me." ”

"Who's that?"

Hou Junji said: "Under the command of Young Marshal Qin, the general manager of the march of Guanxi Road, there are two other important deputies. At one time, Fang Xuanling, the deputy head of the march, and the other person was Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, the governor of Lanzhou. Fang Xuanling is far away in the capital, so there is no need to think about it. I believe that everyone is no stranger to Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia. With his seniority and prestige, he temporarily came to take over the handsome seal left by the young marshal, and I believe that no one will have any objections? ”

The generals thought about it for a while, since it was not Hou Junji who had the intention of seizing military power, with the prestige and qualifications of the king of Jiangxia and the relationship with the young marshal during his lifetime, he was indeed a suitable candidate. So they recognized it together.

"Okay, go to Lanzhou immediately and invite the king of Jiangxia!"

Two days later, dawn.

The Tang army swore an oath and attacked with filial piety.

The former army Yuwen Hongtai led more than 10,000 infantry soldiers such as sharp Mo knives and regimental bows and crossbows, and the platoon infantry marched forward in a large array; Xue Wanjun of the Chinese army led 20,000 cavalry under his command to suppress the main battle, and the two wings of light cavalry assisted the formation, totaling more than 30,000 men and horses.

At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary Tang Army tactic. However, between the front army and the Chinese army, there were still twenty large yak carts, dragging twenty Shenwu cannons that had never been on the field battlefield, and slowly moved forward. The muzzle of the black dngdng refers to the sky.

In the Dafeichuan military camp, a total of 40 Shenwu cannons were transported before and after to defend the territory. Today, these Shenwu cannons, which had never stepped off the turret since they were loaded, were dismantled, and the Tang army's foot soldiers who were rolling forward like the city wall drove towards Qingluoyuan.

Love and hate are the most powerful forces in this world.

The boundless hatred turned into a surging rage, rushing back and forth in the Tang Army's great array, roaring into the sky, like an erupting volcano!

The Tubo people soon learned the news, and tens of thousands of troops and horses of the Tang army rushed forward with earth-shattering agitation, and came to fight with the posture of regular soldiers.

For a few days, the Garqin Mausoleum, like the Abandoned Sect Lngzan, each had some irritability. At this time, when he heard the news again, Garqinling, who had always been very calm, suddenly became angry - "Assemble your troops and meet the enemy!" ”

He thought to himself: It's just in time! Although repeated investigations have also yielded the same result, I still don't believe that Qin Mubai has really been poisoned to death! It will be a trick to death! Now he dares to send tens of thousands of military horses to come, claiming to take revenge and blood hatred, isn't it just to help the lies? - Look at me beating you to the ground! I want to see if your Tang army is really angry or falsely hateful, and the truth can be argued at a glance!

The Tubo generals had just agreed to the promise, and the abandonment of the sect lng Zan suddenly raised his hand, "Slow! ”

Garqin Ling came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "What does Zampu command?" ”

"At this time, there is no fighting." Abandoning the sect lng praised the serious expression of the positive sè.

"Why?" Garqinling and the generals asked, "The Tang army has invaded and attacked and killed, and our army has a reason not to meet the enemy?" ”

"Qinling, since I appointed you as commander and allowed you to do all your autonomy, I have never interfered with your use of troops, right?" Abandon the sect lng zan said.

"Yes, Zamp." Garqin Ling looked at the abandoned sect with a little surprise and said.

"But this time, can you listen to my orders and carry out military orders?" Abandon the sect lng zan said.

Puzan ...... Please order. ”

"Okay, the whole army, rise from the camp and retreat thirty miles." Abandon the sect lng zan said.

"What?" Garqin Ling and the generals were taken aback at the same time, and looked at their Zampu in great bewilderment.
