Yuwen Hongtai was covered with a G quilt, and three altars of fire were baked around him, and he was still trembling. The already dark face has long been purple, and the eyes are a little straight.

When Qin Mubai saw him, it was very similar to the scene when he ran back to Shanzhou from Phantom Moon Valley overnight. And Yuwen Hongtai ran farther, and now the ice and snow are colder, which shows that this man is indeed about to freeze to death.

"Third, third brother, I, I'm here again......" Yuwen Hongtai saw Qin Mubai, a little moved, but he really couldn't move, but his eyes were connected to the wheel.

"How do you say 'again'?" Qin Mubai blocked his heart, frowned and said, "What happened?" ”

Yuwen Hongtai grinned with difficulty, and a trace of ugly wry smile appeared, "Once I come, it will be fine!" I'm such an ominous person, I deserve to die! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, the military newspaper!" Qin Mubai became more and more anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted.

"In ...... Here......" Yuwen Hongtai gestured with his eyes, among his underwear.

Qin Mubai personally picked up the thick quilt on his body, and saw that this man's neck was frozen purple and swollen. From among his clothes, he took out a small package tightly wrapped in oiled tissue cloth and hurriedly opened it.

Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang stood beside them, they didn't dare to breathe, and looked at Qin Mubai with a serious expression.

A very detailed military report was obviously the handwriting of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia. Perhaps Li Daozong was afraid that Yuwen Hongtai would not be able to speak clearly, so he wrote in great detail about the eastward attack of the Garqin Mausoleum and the actions of Hou Junji in Dafeichuan.

There are also three letters, written by Hou Junji. wrote to Qin Mubai, Li Shimin, and his wife respectively.

After reading the military newspaper and the letter written to him by Hou Junji, Qin Mubai's expression froze for three minutes. Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Yuwen Hongtai all looked at him in fear, and they didn't dare to scream.

After a while, Qin Mubai finally moved, and handed the general report to Su Dingfang, "See for yourself!" ”

After reading it, Su and Xue were actually the same as Qin Mubai, their expressions froze.

Is it hate? Is it worrying? Is it anger? Is it urgent?

Together, I blocked my heart.

"Mu Bai, you must make a decision immediately and wave your teacher back to Lan!" Su Dingfang said categorically, "Hou Junji went crazy and left Dafeichuan to kill on the plateau. Dafeichuan, the throat of Helong, has no soldiers to defend it! If Garqinling led a brigade of men and horses to suddenly kill, he would lose everything! ”

"If we want to save Dafeichuan, then Helong will really be finished." Qin Mubai was unexpectedly calm, but his brows were deeply furrowed, and he said, "Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, must have taken over the reconstruction of the defense of Dafeichuan in the first place. ”

"Uh-huh!!" Yuwen Hongtai nodded vigorously on the side and squeaked in his mouth, to show that Qin Mubai was right.

"But in the hands of King Jiangxia, there are only a few Lanzhou recruits. If the enemy army is killed, there is no way to resist it. Su Dingfang said, "Anyway, Lanzhou is already empty, and it is in urgent need of help at this time." ”

"Not busy!" Qin Mubai raised his hand and said, "Think clearly, and then act." At this time, any of our actions is the key to determining victory or defeat. To tell the truth, I was as anxious as if my ass was on fire, and the anger in my heart was beyond words. However, the more times like this, the less you should rush to engage in self-1uan formations. Let's carefully analyze and think about it, why did Hou Junji do this? What are the consequences of him doing this? If we were the Galqin Mausoleum ourselves, what would we be most likely to do now? ”

As soon as Qin Mubai's words came out, it was like pouring a bucket of ice water on the heads of everyone present and giving a tranquilizer. Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui glanced at each other, and each of them had a look of appreciation and approval in their eyes, and then said, "It makes sense!" ”

"Come, sit down!" Qin Mubai waved his hand, motioned for Su and Xue to sit beside Yuwen Hongtai by the fire, and then sent the pawn to prepare tea and wait.

Su Xue and the others were secretly amazed, thinking that after so many strong winds and strong winds, Qin Mubai was already about to cultivate to the realm where the sky was not shocked. Originally, he was still in the years of youth and frivolity, but it was not easy to maintain such an extraordinary calmness at such a critical juncture. Now they finally understand why so many famous ministers and generals in the court don't use it, but the emperor gave half of the country to Qin Mubai, the son of a weak crown.

"Hong Tai, you say first, why did Hou Junji do this? What was it like at that time? Qin Mubai asked.

"I don't know much. Before the incident, Hou Junji didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he sent me to the Buha River to repair the embankment, and it took more than ten days to repair it. Yuwen Hongtai said, "When I heard the news and hurried back to the barracks, Hou Junji had already captured Qingluoyuan and killed all the prisoners. I quarreled with him, and he tied me up with a hemp rope and sent it to Shanzhou. Later, I heard that he also slaughtered the eldest grandson! This old bastard mao is really ruthless! ”

The three of them were really stunned after hearing this. Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "It seems that it is indeed necessary for King Jiangxia to write the military newspaper in such detail and thickly. ”

"What?" Yuwen Hongtai straight wheel eyeballs.

"Let me ask you so, you haven't noticed, what's wrong with Hou Junji?" Qin Mubai said.

"Yes!" Yuwen Hongtai glared at him, and said affirmatively, "I can see it, he doesn't want to live anymore!" He's going to the plateau to die! ”

In other words, he was convinced that he was a mortal man. Su Dingfang answered.

"It should be like this......" Qin Mubai sighed slowly, nodded slightly, frowned again, closed his eyes, and shook his head with a worried expression.

"Hey! ......" Su Dingfang also sighed and said, "Hou Junji, he is really a rebellious and untamed maniac. Whoever commits such a mistake as him must be thinking about how to remedy it and how to escape. But he rebelled, first condemned his own capital crime, and then gave up this life for what he did. I guess he felt that he had given it his all his strength to give it a go, and put all the honors and disgraces of the ritual law aside. It's like a drowning person who knows that he will die, but he has to drag a person into the water, which is enough. ”

"To be more precise, he is like a severed snake head, and he can still open his mouth to bite people without the snake's body, which is extremely poisonous and dangerous." Qin Mubai said, "In the past, Hou Junji has always suppressed his wildness and arrogance, like a hungry wolf, with an iron chain around his neck and acting as a watchdog. Now that he has broken free from the chains, there is no telling how many people will die at his hands. In the end, he will surely die. ”

"What a madman!" Su Dingfang punched hard, and shouted angrily and helplessly.

Xue Rengui never said anything, and then Fang said: "Mu Bai, Dingfang, the matter has come to this, how should we act?" I'm still a shallow entry, and I don't understand or understand the things of the court; I don't know much about Hou Junji. But in my humble opinion, putting aside politics and etiquette, from a military point of view, Hou Junji's hand is actually a killing move. Of course, the outcome is bound to be a lose-lose situation. ”

"Yù stone burning, apt." Qin Mubai nodded in approval and said, "The surprise attack on Taozhou by the Garqinling has turned my Tang Dynasty's western Xinjiang upside down. After that, the Galqin Mausoleum had to flee and return to the plateau. The purpose of his sudden eastward invasion was nothing more than to create a disaster to win a respite for the defeated Tibet, and at the same time to unexpectedly seek a way out by advancing and retreating. It is not difficult to imagine that after the defeat of Dafeichuan, the Tubo people were no longer able to fight, first, because of the heavy losses of troops, and second, more importantly, they had no logistics and food. The agriculture in Tibet is not very good, unlike the fact that we have so much grain in the Central Plains. In order to fight this battle, they didn't know how long they had stored grain and grass, but they were washed away by Pang Fei with a handful of water. Under such circumstances, the Garqin Mausoleum is bound to retreat to the plateau and cannot be defended. However, he was worried that we would take advantage of the victory. So he stabbed us before retreating, leaving us too busy to heal and have no time to care. From this point of view, the Garqin Mausoleum is indeed old and spicy enough, and the attack is also very vicious. ”

"But he never expected that there would be more ruthless than him!" Su Dingfang said, "Garqinling seems to know our court and political situation very well, he thinks that Hou Junji let him go, he will definitely regret and be helpless, and at the same time, the young marshal will definitely be implicated to some extent." He was even more convinced that after he stirred up a stir in the western Xinjiang, he swaggered back to the plateau, and we did not dare to rashly take the initiative to attack and kill the plateau. Because in the past, this was indeed the case, and our soldiers and horses in the Central Plains had never entered the Tibetan mainland. He expected that since we Datang could not retaliate against it militarily, then the rest was for us to hold ourselves accountable internally. In this way, Hou Junji will definitely die, and the young marshal will also be attacked by political enemies. 1uan in the court, Lanzhou collapsed without a fight, and my Tang Dynasty's national policy for Tubo will also change because of this - his goal has been achieved! ”

"The analysis is reasonable, reasonable, and thorough." Qin Mubai said, "The identity of the Garqin Mausoleum is different from ours. He was not only a military commander, but also a powerful minister. On the horse to govern the army, the horse to govern the government, and he poured out his power. Nothing he did was done for the sole purpose of a simple military strike. Just now you said a sentence that coincided with what I was thinking in my heart - Garqinling, he never expected that there would be more ruthless than him! No matter how scheming he was, he was not a Tang dynasty after all, let alone in the court, so it was impossible for him to know Hou Junji so fully - even those of us who got along with Hou Junji day and night may not know him completely. So Garqinling miscalculated, Hou Junji, this crazy hungry wolf was not afraid and scared because of his dereliction of duty, but saw his end in advance with a clear mind, and then made a desperate blow before dying! ”

"This time, the Galqin Mausoleum is a typical wise man's thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake." Su Dingfang said, "As Rengui said, purely from a military point of view, Hou Junji's move is actually not without merit. The Garqin Mausoleum holds half of the soldiers and horses of Tibet, and the expedition must be empty at home and abroad. Tubo is not like me, the Tang Dynasty will send half of the soldiers and horses to the capital of Guanzhong Town, they are scattered tribes. In many cases, their soldiers were herdsmen and serfs. There are not many soldiers and horses in the Imperial Ru (equivalent to the Imperial City Imperial Forest Army) who really shook the cities of Luo. Now Hou Junji highlights the surprise soldiers and kills Luo, if he can really succeed...... Tibet, but more than half of it will be destroyed! ”

Xue Rengui continued: "It is not difficult to imagine that after making trouble in the western Xinjiang for a while, although the Garqin Mausoleum has gained a lot and retreated, it must be quite tired. But if he learned that Hou Junji had taken Qingluoyuan in one fell swoop and then immediately killed Luo Qi City, he would definitely be shocked, and then lead the army to chase after Hou Junji, and hurriedly rushed back to Luo Qi to save the car! In this way, Hou Junji has no way to retreat, and the whole army will fight against the water - or, he will really capture some cities and make great achievements; Or, the whole army will be wiped out, and not one of them will come back alive! ”

"Even if we take the city of Raksha, no one will come back alive." Qin Mubai's expression sank and said, "Rengui, if Hou Junji had thought about living any longer, he would not have taken this step to kill the plateau. The meaning of yù stone burning is to die with the enemy. The current Hou Junji is enough to kill one without losing two of them! - When he goes to the plateau, he will definitely kill, just like he killed 50,000 prisoners in Dafeichuan, without mercy! ”

Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui both took a breath of cool air.

"Hou Junji is using a trick of burning stones to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Qin Mubai took a long breath and slowly exhaled it, and said, "The population of Tubo is less than two million, and all the soldiers are only known as '600,000 male soldiers', how many young and strong are there in total?" In Dafeichuan, he killed 50,000 in one go! Now that he has gone up to the plateau, he is like a tiger entering a flock, and I don't know how many Tibetans will be buried under his sword. I dare to assert that he did not think of laying down some of the Rak to make a name for himself, nor did he think of capturing and abandoning Zong Nongzan to come back to atone for his sins. He's just going to kill, just kill! As a result, Tibet's vitality was greatly damaged, and the young and strong population, which had been sharply reduced in decades, could not recover. This is undoubtedly cruel and bloody that is anti-human, contrary to heaven, and almost perverted. It is not difficult to imagine that in the future, whether it is the Tibetan people or the Han people, including our children and grandchildren, they may condemn him, the cold-blooded butcher executioner who cares about human life, and he will live forever and bear the shackles of shame and hatred, and be refuted; But from another objective point of view, if his move can greatly weaken Tubo, will it be a great contribution to my current Tang Dynasty? - Perhaps, this is his real purpose! ”

"If that's the case, then it's a veritable yù stone burning! The price he passed out was not only his life, but also fame, personality and dignity! After listening to Qin Mubai's words, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui were shocked.

Qin Mubai sighed and said, "His madness is not only for catharsis, but also to express his shame and remorse!" Moreover, it is also an indirect and alternative way to repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness to him in the past and my trust in him! - Hou Junji, in everyone's opinion, is a cunning, cruel, ruthless wolf; But in fact, isn't he a really lonely poor man? ”
