"The Tang Army's camp is really well repaired! Although we are not used to living in these wooden houses and tiled houses, it is good to use them to tie up livestock on cold days! ”

"There are a lot of cattle and sheep by the lake that haven't had time to take them away! That's a lot of money, haha! ”

"The Han people are smart, and the military village has built canals and pipelines to divert water, which is convenient!"

"Marshal, let's move to Dafeichuan!"

……

The soldiers of Tibet were talking about it and were all elated.

Garchinling has not spoken. He didn't know that a camp that the Tang Army had been operating for several years was far more powerful than one of his temporary marching camps. Moreover, it was also his strategic policy to take Dafeichuan and use it as a base to invade Lanzhou again.

However, the Tang army so easily surrendered a place that soldiers must fight, which always made Garqinling feel a little strange.

Seeing that the cold winter is coming, the military village in the west of the Qingluo Plain is in the transition zone between the plateau and the plain, although it is not as cold as the snowy glaciers, but it is also splashed into ice.

But Dafeichuan is different. It is close to Qinghai Lake, easy to get water, easy to graze cattle and horses, and the terrain is much lower than that of Qingluoyuan Military Village, so the winter is not so cold. If the army had moved here to camp and have access to many ready-made houses and stables, the winter would have been a good one, and the benefits would have been endless.

"Marshal, the brothers want to move to the Dafeichuan military camp as soon as possible, so that they can survive the winter." The Tibetan generals sent Danba Urji as a representative to make a speech to the Garqin Mausoleum.

Garqinling narrowed his eyes slightly, still hesitating, and did not agree immediately.

"The marshal still has concerns?" Danba Urji was a little anxious and said, "The Tang army has fled far away, and our sentry cavalry will follow them to Shanzhou before returning, and the news is true." And there will be no ambush within a hundred miles. Even if the Tang army suddenly attacks, we can calmly respond to the battle. What other concerns does the marshal have? ”

Garqinling basically turned a deaf ear to his words, how could he not think of such a simple truth? …… Although he couldn't figure it out, he vaguely felt that there was a cloud of yīn shadows and doubts in his heart. The perfect army village in front of him seemed to him like a fragrant yòu bait, but there was a deadly fishing hook hidden inside.

"It's a trap. Hugh was going to fall for the Tang army's plan. Garqin Ling said.

"Marshal, you're too suspicious!" Danba Urji finally couldn't help it and said, "The Tang army is dead, the commander has lost his armor and slipped away, what other strategy can he have to deal with us?" Could it be that they can really have gods and Buddhas to help? If you have, you don't have to wait until today! ”

Garqinling glanced at him coldly and reprimanded: "Those who underestimate the enemy will be defeated!" ——How did Dafeichuan lose it, how did Tuyuhun fall, and how was the Turks destroyed? All like you, underestimate the enemy! Self-righteous underestimating enemies! ”

Danba Urji was scolded and had to shut up. The generals didn't dare to say anything, silent.

Garqinling glanced at them, knowing that these people wanted to survive this winter comfortably in the camp of the Tang army, just like a hungry man who had not been close to nvsè for ten years, and suddenly hugged a beautiful mood.

It is difficult to disobey the will of the people, and it is impossible to chill everyone's hearts.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Garchinling said: "The whole army is divided into four divisions. Derg? General Danba Urji led 100,000 soldiers and horses to settle in Dafeichuan first; How dense? General Boudin and Ding Lan? General Tsering each led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and set up another camp for ten miles to the left and right of Dafeichuan as a horn; Ben Shuai, personally led the rest of the men and horses to temporarily stationed in Qingluoyuan. When all the situation is clear, we will discuss the merger of the army and the settlement of Dafeichuan. ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately cheered - "Yes, marshal!" ”

This winter, it's better. To the west of Qingluoyuan, cattle and sheep can already freeze to death, but it is a lot warmer here in Dafeichuan! Moreover, the looted things are used comfortably, and just so many barracks, cattle and sheep are enough to make all the soldiers happy for a while.

The next day, after noon, on a hill a few miles east of the Dafeichuan military camp.

Qin Mubai wore a shoddy white sheepskin, tied a hemp rope around his waist, wore a cowhide felt hat with a notched edge, held a whip in his hand, rode a black-skinned inferior horse with máo, and looked at the Dafeichuan military camp in the distance.

There was also a flock of sheep bleating beside him, and the Huoyun Horse was running not far away, occasionally lowering its head to nibble on the few remaining tender grass roots.

Qin Mubai, who had an extra beard on his mouth, shook his whip and drank a few times to drive away the sheep. After chewing a few grass leaves in his mouth, he smiled meaningfully.

"Garchinling is really cautious and suspicious. He actually divided the soldiers and horses into three parts and set them into horns to save the situation, thinking that it was a perfect strategy. ”

"A tricky guy indeed. It's not in vain that I gambled on xìng's life and ran out of blood, and I will fight with you! ”

"It is estimated that Qin Shi's side should have been prepared, but I don't know when Garqinling will lead his troops to attack my outpost city of Lanzhou, Shanzhou? This guy is known as the master of the soldiers, what is there to hesitate at this time? When our army fled in a hurry without a leader, and pursued it while it was victorious, isn't it just the art of war? ”

"Could it be that this can make him find any flaws?"

……

Night is about to fall, the wind is cold, and the weather is freezing.

Qin Mubai drove his flock of xiǎo sheep to a silent and desolate xiǎo village.

More than 20 miles east of the Dafeichuan Military Region, this Xiǎo village used to be home to more than a dozen Han herdsmen. Recently, due to the war, most of the herdsmen have moved to the interior of Lanzhou to escape the war. There is only one old couple who is more than half a hundred years old, and they can't leave their flock and homeland, and they haven't left. A few days ago, Qin Mubai arrived here and lied that he was a wandering ranger and lived in the old couple's house.

The old couple, who had no children under their knees, was also warm and generous, so they took him in. Qin Mubai persuaded the couple to leave the place earlier to escape the war, and gave them some money to use to entangle and maintain their lives. To put it mildly, they finally agreed, agreed to pack up and leave here today, and transferred the house, sheep and other things to Qin Mubai.

But when he returned to Xiǎo Village, Qin Mubai saw that there were still lights in the house, and it seemed that they still hadn't left.

Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Mubai stepped forward to pat mén, "Uncle, aunt, I'm back!" - Why haven't you left yet? ”

"Squeak", mén is turned on. It was not the old couple who drove the mén, but a strange old man.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised, glanced up and down at the old man, and saw that he had a striking silver-white beard, his body was tall and not half a point rickety, his face was red, his eyes were bright, and he looked like he was shining.

"Old man, why are you here?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Hehe, you should be the new owner of this house, Liu Langjun, right?" The old man stroked his hair and smiled, and said, "I'm ashamed that the old man has occupied the magpie's nest." In the afternoon, the old man passed by this place, and when he saw that it was too late, he entered the village to stay. I don't know that this family is the only one who lives there. What's more coincidental is that they are also about to leave their hometown, and they also said that they have transferred the house to a young Liu Langjun, and it is estimated that they will return later. That's you, right? ”

"Oh, passing by for the night." Qin Mubai replied indifferently, but he looked at the old man very cautiously in his heart, only to see an urn of tea boiling on a fire in the room, and a blue cloth package was placed by the stove, which was probably the old man's bag.

Looking at the old man's form and demeanor, he doesn't look like an evil person, but his voice is like a Hong Zhong and his bearing is extraordinary, but he is not like an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere.

Originally, which ordinary person, who would run to a place like Dafeichuan at such a time? Most people are afraid to avoid it.

"It's cold, Liu Langjun, please come in!" The old man said with a smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stroked his palms and smiled, "It's wrong, it's wrong, it seems that the old man is the master, and Liu Langjun is the guest!" ”

"Haha, the old man is so funny!" Qin Mubai laughed twice and walked into the room, reflexively covered his mén, hung the whip on the wall casually, and sat down by the fire to warm up, casually muttering, "It's really cold this day." ”

The old man didn't say anything, but with a kind smile on his face, he picked up the earthen urn and poured a bowl of hot tea for Qin Mubai, and said, "Come, master, the old man borrowed Huā to offer the Buddha tea instead of wine, and thanked you for taking the old man in advance." ”

"Thank you." Qin Mubai held the bowl in both hands to keep warm, but he didn't mean to drink it.

"What, master, I'm afraid that I won't be able to poison you?" The old man stroked his white hair and said with a smile.

"What are you talking about, old man?" Qin Mubai's heart froze, but his face remained unchanged, and he smiled casually and said, "You and I have never known each other, why did you harm me?" Besides, in my shabby place, even if I kill for money, I can't talk about it! ”

"Huh!" The old man smiled again, "Not bad. The whole village was poor. All the houses in the village are combined, and it is estimated that they are not worth as much as Liu Langjun's BMW! ”

Qin Mubai's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes stared at the old man like lightning: "What do you mean?" ”

"The host family didn't have to be nervous. I'm just complimenting, you have a good horse. The old man was as calm as ever, and said with a smile.

Qin Mubai put the tea bowl aside and looked at the old man with his eyebrows. The old man did not shy away from it, and looked back at Qin Mubai with a smile on his face and pure eyes, without the slightest panic.

"Who are you?" Qin Mubai said in a low voice, "Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming." Don't beat around the bush! ”

"Haha!" The old man laughed loudly, patted his knees and stood up, ignoring Qin Mubai, who might suddenly kill at any time, but calmly walked to the window and looked up at the dark night sky outside, and said leisurely, "The greedy wolf wipes the fang demon star through the rainbow, and the sky is too white to drive!" ”

"I don't understand." Qin Mubai replied coldly, his hand had already reached under the bed, and he held the handle of the Guiyi Knife.

"This is the disaster of blood, slaughter, and heavenly death!" The old man turned around, looked at Qin Mubai with a torch in his eyes, and said word by word, "Qin Sanlang, you are about to create a boundless killing!" ”

"Boom—"

With a dragon yín, the righteous knife rested on the old man's neck.

"Say, what are you? Or, I'll cut off your head. Qin Mubai clenched the hilt of the knife and said coldly.

"Old man, Yuan Tiangang."
