As soon as the generals heard the words "Hou Junji", they all came forward with a shock in their hearts, surrounded Pang Fei and others, and pricked up their ears to listen.

Qin Mubai ordered, "All the generals will disperse and return to their posts-come, carry Pang Fei to my study, I will personally interrogate!" ”

Everyone retreated one after another, and when Blood Lotus saw that Qin Mubai was busy, she was also a little unwilling to retreat.

In the study, the soldiers carried Pang Fei to the couch and put it down carefully, put the tea, Qin Mubai asked him, "Pang Fei, you have made a great contribution this time, I will write to Your Majesty to ask you for credit, and then the court will have a heavy reward." We'll talk more about you later. You tell me in detail, everything you experienced when you met Hou Junji, you have to be detailed! ”

"Yes......" Pang Fei nodded, twisted his brows slightly, and began to recall about Hou Junji.

It turned out that after Hou Junji led his troops to set out from Dafeichuan, he did not go all the way north to Luoqicheng, but made a detour to the northwest, along the Jiuqu of the Yellow River all the way west to the Kunlun Mountains, and advanced towards Golmud.

Golmud is not only the largest military region in Tibet except for the capital city of Luo, but also the largest base of grain, grass, agriculture and livestock. Previously, Pang Feiqi succeeded in attacking the Golmud Military Region, and Hou Junji knew the news. It is precisely because of this that Hou Junji aimed his blade at the farmland and pasture there!

The Tibetan agricultural and pastoral base, which has lost the protection of the army, is like a newborn baby exposed to the presence of a rampaging lone wolf, and the result can be imagined......

Hou Junji ordered the whole army to return the rule with his own way - for seven days and seven nights, he led 50,000 horses divided into six divisions, and killed countless people back and forth at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and carried out a bloody and cruel sweep and massacre here!

Hugh said that he was a young man, but not a single animal was left!

Pang Fei said that at first, they didn't know that the Tang army had arrived here, but they only found out when they smelled the strong smell of blood and corpses dozens of miles away in the mountains and forests!

When he found Hou Junji, the massacre was nearing its end, and Hou Junji was reorganizing his military horses. Every day, the barracks were full of slaughtering cattle and sheep, wine and meat, and gold and silver treasures were piled up everywhere like garbage, and the sergeants were too lazy to put them in their pockets. Countless women became military prostitutes in his army, and the camp was filled with the frenzied cries of sergeants and the miserable wails of women.

Seeing this scene, Pang Fei was furious, and immediately reprimanded Hou Junji for acting recklessly regardless of military discipline and military regulations, but he was taken down by Hou Junji in public, and he was sent to Dafeichuan without saying anything. Before leaving, Hou Junji didn't say anything, but just asked Pang Fei to tell Qin Mubai, saying that his next target was the Qiangtang area and the upper source of the Yak River!

"There, there are many tribes living in Tibet, and it is also an important agricultural and pastoral base......" Hearing this, Qin Mubai's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was speechless for a while.

"Teacher, is Hou Junji a little too much?" Pang Fei said, "I, Datang, am a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can I indiscriminately kill, slaughter, rape, adultery, and abduction? ”

"Have you ever seen a righteous wolf? Whether it's in the Tang Dynasty, or the grassland, or the Gobi, or the plateau? ”

"No ......"

"That's it." Qin Mubai took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and said, "One...... No, it's a bunch! Do people who don't even want their lives care about this? Now, Hou Junji and his soldiers have put aside all restraints and distractions, and have restored all their own nature—in human nature, there is kindness and cruelty, greed and selflessness, and there are also strong needs for all kinds. The current Hou Junji is no longer a general of the Tang Dynasty, he is just the leader of a group of crazy and indulgent men, who are using the last days of their lives to do whatever they want! ”

"Now the students also understand a little bit why Hou Junji did that." Pang Fei also sighed and said, "In fact, soldiers are the most bitter, they play with their heads and eat poorly, they wear poorly, they have no wine, meat, and women, and there are countless military regulations and laws on their heads, and they will be severely punished and sanctioned if they are not careful." Staying in the military for a period of time will bring a lot of pressure to anyone's mind. Only those who lead the troops know that the only way to relieve these pressures is to kill, drink and women. Hou Junji is to let his soldiers completely release these pressures, indulge themselves without restraint and scruples, and then maintain the morale and combat effectiveness of this army! ”

"That's right." Qin Mubai nodded and said, "Hou Junji, the general of the battlefield." No one understands better than him what the officers and men of the army need most - wine, meat, money, and women! The army of the Hu people has never suppressed the demand of their sergeants in this regard, so their sergeants are all in high spirits when they hear about the war, and they do not need to boost their morale at all. It is only our Confucianism and etiquette that the Tang Dynasty army is surrounded by so many rules and regulations. Hou Junji satisfied all these things of his sergeants, and then indulged in their wanton slaughter, venting their hatred and pressure. In this way, the whole army is on the same boat with him, and there is no way to retreat, so no one will disobey him and serve him to the death! Hou Junji, who was originally a raging lone wolf, has now become the leader of a wolf pack...... You can imagine how obedient and strong his army is now, and you can also imagine how panicked he is on the plateau now! ”

"That's right, exactly!" Pang Fei nodded hurriedly and said, "Along the way, we have met many Tibetan herdsmen who have fled with their families, all of them talk about the change of tiger color, and when they hear the words 'Hou Junji', they are so frightened that they want to pee their pants!" This name has almost become synonymous with death and ghosts on the plateau, and everyone shuddered when they heard it! ”

Qin Mubai furrowed his brows, "Is there any news of the soldiers and horses of the Garqin Mausoleum?" ”

"Nope." Pang Fei shook his head, "We and those Han slaves who were rescued by Hou Junji, along the road of Hou Junji's purge, returned to Dafeichuan together, and on the way it was quite peaceful, and we didn't encounter soldiers and horses intercepting and killing, and we didn't hear the news of the soldiers and horses of the Garqin Mausoleum. ”

"Then it is not surprising that the Garqin Mausoleum, which fled after the sweep in the western territory of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be shocked when he hears about Hou Junji, and is eager to return to the city of Luo." Qin Mubai muttered to himself, thinking to himself, "Therefore, he should enter the plateau in the direction of the Jinchuan River and Jishi Mountain, and then take a straight line and walk the nearest road, and go directly back to Luoqi City." This happened to be a fork with Hou Junji's marching route - it seems that Hou Junji was not blindly going to Golmud, he first anticipated the march of the Garqinling and then formulated a marching strategy. When the Galqin Mausoleum rushed back to the city of Luo, what he heard should be the news of the massacre of Hou Junji in Golmud. So next...... When Hou Junji led his troops to arrive at the upper source of the Yak River, it was time for Garqinling to lead the army out to quell the chaos and defend the Yak River agricultural and animal husbandry base. The two of them are very likely to encounter at the source of the Yak River and have a battle of life and death! ”

Pang Fei's eyes lit up and said, "At that time, wouldn't it be the emptiness of some cities? What if we led a brigade of troops and horses to take the law directly? ”

"This is exactly what Hou Junji wants." Qin Mubai shook his head, sighed, and said, "He committed such a big crime and made such a big move, just to fundamentally deal a heavy blow to Tubo's national strength and attract the Tubo army to attack and kill him." As a result, the trend of turning the tiger away from the mountain has been formed, which is convenient for me to take advantage of the weakness to attack its lair! ”

"So the teacher...... Are we marching into the army? Pang Fei asked cautiously.

Qin Mubai didn't answer immediately, pacing back and forth with his hands on his back, pondering. Pang Fei didn't dare to say more, and waited quietly.

"Enter!" Suddenly, Qin Mubai shouted sharply and cut the railroad categorically, "Why don't you enter the army?!" ”

"Students are willing to be pioneers in the front!!" Pang Fei arched his hand excitedly.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and patted his hand, "Look at you like this now, you can't ride a horse, how can you fight a pioneer?" You'd better take care of your injuries first, there will be a time when you will go into battle! In addition, I have already recorded all the five hundred brothers who went with you, and I will go to the court at that time to ask for mercy. In addition, the brothers who came back with you, including you, are a total of six people, and a lot of credit is credited to the book. Now I am reorganizing the 100,000 Qinyi Mansion to form the Seventh Army, and I will let you and Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Yuwen Hongtai serve as the 'left and right' Shilang generals, and the six brothers who returned with you, I remember very well that they were all one of the first thirty hundred horsemen to follow me, and I remember all the names, namely 'Chang Kai, Kang Jie, Peng Ze, Ran Min, He Lianyu, and Xiao Xuanwu'. ”

"Yes, that's right...... The teacher remembers very well, they are all the first batch of 100 horsemen, and they are all the most elite and outstanding soldiers! Pang Fei nodded a little sadly, and his eyes turned red, "Along the way, we sent away more than 400 brothers, and in the end, only seven of us survived......"

"Don't be too sad. If you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. Qin Mubai patted him on the shoulder, "The six of them, plus Zhu Bancheng, the only surviving lieutenant general guarding Yangguan, and Zhao Tong, the commander of the Snow Sculpture Army, serve as the captain of the eighth battalion of my Yi Mansion, and they are in charge of an army of 100,000. Although he is only a small lieutenant now, he has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which is no worse than any other general from Sanpin. And I, Qin Mubai, promise that all these brothers who live and die with me and share weal and tribulation will definitely be in and out of the first and first glory in the future! ”

Four days later, the 100,000 troops brought back by Qin Mubai from Yumen Pass were reorganized, and all the officers above the rank of lieutenant were personally appointed by Qin Mubai.

In addition to Qin Mubai, the top general is Zhonglang General Xue Rengui, Shilang General Su Dingfang, and then the left and right Lang generals Yuwen Hongtai and Pang Fei; In addition, there are seven battalions of the left and right armies, the front and rear armies, the left and right Yuhou armies and the Chinese army, plus the eight battalions of the snow sculpture guards, and the highest commander of each battalion has a captain.

At this point, the backbone generals under Qin Mubai's command have a clear vein - General Shilang and Eighth Captain!

In the army, it is also said that they are from the Kansai Army - "Four Courtyard Pillars" and "Eight Military Platforms".

Datang has always attached the most importance to the military industry. Now, even the important ministers of the court and the relatives of the emperor have sharpened their heads and want to stuff their sons and nephews into the Kansai army, hoping to mix up a little bit of military industry, and wait for the court to reward the glorious lintel for their merits in the future. It is not difficult to imagine that in the future, the generals of Kansai, represented by the Four Courtyard Pillars and the Eighth Military Terrace, will definitely rise to the top and help the people.

Therefore, Qin Mubai's boastful sentence in Haikou, "All these brothers who live and die with me and share weal and hardship will definitely be in and out of the first place and glory in the future" is not just a temporary nonsense.

After learning about Hou Junji's movements, Qin Mubai's plan in his heart became clearer - to march west to the plateau as soon as possible, take advantage of the chaos inside the plateau, and take some cities directly!

However, it is not enough to have soldiers and horses in hand, and the most important thing is the lack of logistical support. Therefore, Qin Mubai wrote to urge Li Daliang, Qin Tong and Li Junxian to speed up their march and come to Shanzhou to meet, especially to ensure that the grain and grass sent by the imperial court could arrive as soon as possible.

When he forgot to wear it, the 150,000 reinforcements sent by the imperial court finally arrived in Shanzhou. With it, there are tens of thousands of people, and there are countless grains and grasses!

To Qin Mubai's surprise, Li Ke, the king of Wu who was far away in Youzhou, actually caught up with the army and arrived in Shanzhou with them!

"Li Ke, you came so fast, did you run naked all the way and didn't stay in Chang'an?" Hearing the news of Li Ke's arrival, a playful smile appeared on Qin Mubai's face, and he said secretly, "After a long absence, what should I tell you in the first sentence?" 'Have you eaten?' ', 'How many sisters have you taken recently?' ''Fun to have friends from afar'? Or...... Needless to say anything? ”G！ ~！
