The Tang army withdrew its troops and went straight back to Dafeichuan. Qin Mubai issued an order, and all the soldiers returned to their respective battalions, and they were on strict alert to return to normal.

But the soldiers in the camp were more or less in mood swings. Some of them scolded like Yuwen Hongtai's, and some of them were frustrated and annoyed after being played, especially the newborn calf recruits, who were full of energy to go into battle and kill once, but they went in vain and returned empty-handed and were ridiculed and teased by the enemy, so most of them were a little uncontrollable.

Qin Mubai knew in his heart that before the war started, he could be regarded as losing to Garqinling in a move. I have to admit that after all, it is still the Garqin Mausoleum who is experienced and treacherous, and always pays attention to grasping the initiative. Now, to fight or not to fight, everything is in the thought of the Garqin Mausoleum. This is too much for Tang Jun.

The whole camp seemed a little restless, but the only two people who did not move, that is, Qin Mubai and Hou Junji.

At the beginning of his entry into the military force, Qin Mubai heard the most words from his father and Li Jing, which was "the style of the general" - not chaotic and not alarmed!

Now, although he didn't say that he had cultivated this kung fu to the extreme, the small situation in front of him was not enough to move him. On the contrary, it was Hou Junji, from the time he went out to the time he came back, his expression and demeanor did not change, and he said it badly, like a dead man. Putting on a horse and charging into battle, and even killing people to see blood and become a king and defeat a king, it seems to be commonplace for him.

From this point of view, Xue Wanjun is far inferior.

So after returning to the camp, Qin Mubai only invited Hou Junji to enter the account for a secret talk.

"Why, if you are led by the nose for a while, you can't hold your breath?" Hou Junji still didn't have any good words, so he came to give it to Qin Mubai.

"What do you think?" Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and said, "Obviously, Garqinling is despising me and insulting me, but he didn't rashly attack Dafeichuan, so he is paying attention to me." So I feel more and more that this opponent has a bit of weight. ”

"Then you're too late to know." Hou Junji sneered and said, "That kid was twelve years old and his father assisted the abandoned sect to praise the rebellion, led the soldiers and horses to fight in the south and the north, and quelled the rebellion on the plateau, and finally unified the plateau and established the Tubo Dynasty. Do you think this could be a coincidence? ”

"So if I remember correctly, this is the first time you've complimented someone in front of me." Qin Mubai said. He didn't say the second half of the sentence - 'Even to Pharmacist Li, who taught you the art of war, you didn't have half a word of praise'.

"If one day, you can also make your enemies praise you and fear you behind your back, then it proves that you really have some skills." Hou Junji said, "That kid from Garqinling is not a few years older than you, and there is also the Tibetan Zampu Abandonment Sect, which is similar to your age. Everyone on the plateau knows that there are almost two Zampu in Tibet, one is the 'righteous brother' Garqin Mausoleum who abandoned the sect and the other is the 'righteous brother' Garqin Mausoleum. In a sense, Tibet can not abandon its sect and praise it, but it cannot do without the Garqin Mausoleum. The latter is much more important, and at the same time, for Datang, he is the real enemy. ”

"The real enemy? How so? Qin Mubai asked.

"If you put yourself in the shoes of the Galqin Mausoleum and think about it, you will understand. Actually, there are a lot of similarities between him and yours. Hou Junji said, "Actually, kings and ministers are not very willing to fight, and those who want to fight are generally generals. As for the reason, you can recall how fierce and dangerous the controversy over the war and peace in the imperial court was at the beginning. In fact, in Tibet, it is the same. With Datang, this matter was not raised by our Datang, but the young Zampu of Tubo, who abandoned the sect and praised it. And I mentioned it a long time ago, when even the Battle of Songzhou had not yet been fought - these things, you must not know as much as me. ”

"I'll admit it. You fought the Battle of Songshu, and you were the Prime Minister of the Cabinet at the time. Qin Mubai said, "Since you want to make peace with the sect, why did you end up like this?" ”

"There are many reasons. One of the most important reasons is the Garqin Mausoleum. Hou Junji said, "Flying birds, you must know the truth of good bow hiding?" The great empire of Tibet was established, and Zampu wanted to make peace with the Tang Dynasty so that the plateau would enter into a peace for decades, which would be used to stabilize the foundation of the empire and cultivate their culture and people's livelihood - what did this mean for the Founding Father's Marshal Garqinling? Isn't that just a useless place to wait to unload the mill and kill the donkey? Of course he didn't want to! - Think about your own situation, if you don't have a fight with Tubo and you stay in Chang'an, you are at most just a horse eating idle food, just like a dispensable Qingping dog, how much can you live? For a man's life, all he wants is that little bit of wine-colored wealth and arrogant ambition. So, do you have some resemblance to him? You must all take control of your destiny through war. ”

After hearing these words, Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Hou Junji, I can't imagine that you can't smash a few fart jars with a hammer, and it's a bit interesting to talk about it at length." ”

"If you don't believe me, you can say nothing." Hou Junji pursed his lips indifferently and said, "Now I only know that the initiative is completely on the side of the Garqin Mausoleum, and our situation is not good at all. ”

Qin Mubai frowned lightly and nodded, and said, "That's why I called you here." Tell me, is there any way to do it? ”

Hou Junji was silent for a moment and said, "There is a way, you may not dare to use it." ”

"Speak."

"Surprise soldiers out of the snow ridge and attack Kunlun Mountain!" Hou Junji said.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mubai did not show the kind of surprise that Hou Junji expected, but smiled slightly and said, "This plan coincides with me." But it is really difficult to implement. ”

"Oh? You also thought of this layer? On the contrary, Hou Junji was quite surprised, and he said, "The old nest of the Garqin Mausoleum is in Golmud of the Kunlun Military Region. This time, he took 300,000 armor to the Qingluo Plain, and the company camp was 300 miles impressive. There is almost no possibility of beating him head-on. Therefore, we can only fight the snake seven inches - first cut off his grain route and destroy his foundation, and let his army be defeated, then there is a possibility of success. ”

"Exactly." Qin Mubai said, "The situation in front of me reminds me of the Battle of Guandu in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Yuan Shao's troops were far superior to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's burning of the black nest cut off Yuan Shao's logistics, so he defeated the opponent in one fell swoop. ”

"But Garqinling is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag like Yuan Shao. He has rich experience in the rest of his life, and he is very wise and thoughtful, and it is difficult to take advantage of his loopholes to burn his grain and grass. Hou Junji said, "Moreover, the snowy plateau is not a place like Guandu and Wuchao, Hugh said that the Garqin Mausoleum will station heavy troops on the grain road to ensure that the logistics are safe, even Golmud will take strict precautions, which is extremely difficult to start." The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and a war-filled general like him must know the importance of grain and grass. We, almost no chance. ”

"It's hard to say if you try, but if you don't try, you definitely won't have a chance." Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and said.

"Oh?" Hou Junji said curiously, "What are you going to do?" - If you can attack Kunlun and successfully burn his grain and grass, then this battle will be more than half of the victory! ”

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, I have made arrangements, but I am not in a hurry." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "What we have to do now is to fight two games with Garqinling first-only to lose, not to win!" ”

"A plan for arrogance?"

"Yes!"

"This kind of battle, don't send me to fight!" Hou Junji suddenly said urgently, "In my life, I hate losing battles the most!" ”

"Coincidentally, it's up to you." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently.

"Why!" Hou Junji shouted.

"Just because you are the strongest general in the Kansai army, and if you lose to Tubo, the Garqinling will believe it. in order to achieve the effect of 'proud soldiers'. Qin Mubai said.

"......" Hou Junji was speechless for a moment, gritted his teeth hatefully, and nodded in annoyance, "Okay!" But when the time comes, if Xue Wanjun's group of old boys dare to make fun of me, I will cut off their heads on the spot! ”

"Ancient clouds, Yan Que knows the ambition of the bird? Conversely, how could Honghu care what kind of eyes Yan Que used to look at him? Hou Junji, if you really have the same knowledge as them, I will be blind. Qin Mubai said.

"......" Hou Junji was speechless again, nodded with a sigh, and said, "Okay, Qin Mubai, you won!" I can't imagine that at a young age, you have learned a few tricks of the art of imperial people, did Your Majesty or Li Jing teach you? ”

"I can't talk about this as a master, because I am not your lord, you are not my minister, we are comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe, mutual trust is the most basic, and it is inevitable to occasionally make some sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation, what do you think?" Qin Mubai smiled.

"In terms of eloquence, I am naturally far inferior to you. That's it, you can do what you say, who made you the manager? Hou Junji casually hugged his fist, "When you fight, you just say it." ”

"Five days later is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. At that time, there will be a head-on battle anyway. Qin Mubai said, "You come to fight." ”

"Good! …… But what if I'm not careful, and I win? ”

"I'll cut off your head."

“…… Leave! ”

After Hou Junji left, Qin Mubai closed his eyes and sat quietly alone, and after a long time.

Such a huge military contest is indeed a huge test for the "fledgling" Qin Mubai. He has also led soldiers to fight in the past, but compared to the previous wars, he was either a pediatric who was not worth mentioning, or he was not an independent commander.

Inexperienced, the pressure is huge, the enemy is strong, the opponent is smart, and there is intrigue and intrigue in the rear...... Qin Mubai felt that all of this was like a mountain, pressing on his shoulders.

However, every time the pressure on his shoulders increased, Qin Mubai felt that his shoulders were a little stronger, and his legs were also glowing with greater strength.

After his father's death, he had no big tree to shelter him from the wind and rain, no backer to support him, everything had to rely on himself.

"Father, though I am willing to exchange everything I have now for your survival; But the only good is ...... Your son is now truly a human being! ”

"Come on, pen and ink!"

With a stroke of his pen, Qin Mubai wrote down a letter to report to the imperial court, and ordered the fast horse to travel 800 miles day and night to send it directly to the hands of Fang Xuanling, the deputy head of the march of the Guanxi Road.

There was only one thing said in the letter - Qin Mubai needed someone to be his henchman's assistant!

The 800 Snow Eagle Army lacks a real commander. Looking at the whole army, there is no suitable candidate. Although the one-armed Zhang Tong is the nominal commander, after all, he is disabled and has a lot of inconvenience. If you want to perform some special tasks, 800 Snow Sculptures needs a real "Eagle King"!

This person is none other than Qin Mubai's proud protégé - Pang Fei!

This kid, now being his soil overlord in Xiangzhou leisurely, how can he be so relaxed and happy all the time?

Less than two hours after the fast horses galloped out of Dafeichuan, a team of strange men and horses drove to the front of the large military camp and was stopped by the patrol soldiers. came to report that Pang Fei, the commander of Xiangzhou, was ordered by the military department to help in the war!

"There is such a coincidence in the world!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and immediately called Pang Fei into the big tent of the Chinese army!

Pang Fei led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses into the camp, and when he saw Qin Mubai, he bowed head-on, and was pleasantly surprised!

After inquiry, I learned that after hearing that the war in Lanzhou had started and Qin Shubao had been killed, Pang Fei, who was far away in Xiangzhou, had long been unable to sit still, and even submitted a number of invitations to the military department, requesting to go to Lanzhou to participate in the war, but it has been like a mud cow entering the sea. But soon after, after Fang Xuanling served as the deputy head of the march of Guanxi Province and took over the military department, he immediately approved Pang Fei's request for war. So, it took this kid more than a month to gallop all the way from Xiangzhou, thousands of miles away, to Dafeichuan!

With it, it is Qin Mubai's former descendant family and the Bailang Navy of Xiangzhou Mansion!

"It's just too late!" Qin Mubai laughed heartily, "Pang Fei, I have never looked forward to your appearance like today!" ”

"Being able to lead a horse for his mentor and pedal a little bit like a dog and horse is the greatest blessing of Pang Fei's life!" Pang Fei was also very happy and said, "The students took it upon themselves to bring the Bailang Water Army from Xiangzhou with them. But this area of Dafeichuan is full of plateau grassland, I wonder if there will be a place for us? Does this move by the students seem a little redundant? ”

"Not superfluous at all." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "Perhaps, you have done the wisest thing in your life - don't ask so much, stay down and rest first, and give me enough energy!" ”

"Yes, Teacher!"

"In the barracks, you can't call me that."

"No, young marshal!"

"Go!"

Pang Fei's arrival made Qin Mubai's heart quite surprised, which can be regarded as one of the rare good news in recent days. Although this kid may be a little suspicious of coming to mix with the military industry and trying to make a fortune, it is also very rare for him to come from thousands of miles to help the war

On top of that, he is really needed right now......

Because Pang Fei's accident came early, Qin Mubai's mood became a lot more relaxed and happy. Therefore, when I returned to the back house of the handsome tent, my steps were a little brisker, and there was a little smile on my face. As soon as they entered the back house, they collided with the Tantai sisters, and the two saw Qin Mubai's relaxed expression, so they joked together about whether "people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they will marry the princess today".

Qin Mubai scolded the two sisters with a smile and came to Princess Wencheng's room.

"Mu Bai, are you back? Are you okay uninjured? Did it get off to a successful start? Li Xueyan asked with great concern.

"Why, do you care about the war?" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Don't you hate war and dead people the most? ”

Li Xueyan nodded slightly embarrassedly and said, "In contrast, I naturally care more about your safety." ”

"That's right. People are selfish. Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "No one is truly selfless, not even you, aren't you?" ”

"......" Li Xueyan was stunned for a moment by Qin Mubai's robbery, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Yes, I am not as great and selfless as I imagined...... If war must be unavoidable, and bloodshed and death must come as scheduled, I at least hope that you will be safe and sound, and the soldiers of Datang will have fewer casualties. ”

"You're honest." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I know that your heart is very conflicted at this moment, you can't even believe in yourself, and you have doubts about your former ideals. ”

"Yes...... None of this can be hidden from you. Li Xueyan folded her elbows with her hands, twisted her eyebrows and jaws, paced slowly a few steps, and said, "I'm in pain. I began to doubt my ideals, my beliefs wavered, and I wondered what to do next. Mu Bai, you are very wise, I have always trusted you. Teach me, okay? ”

"You don't even trust yourself anymore, are you willing to trust me?"

Li Xueyan turned her head, looked at Qin Mubai with a soft expression but a firm look in her eyes, and nodded slightly, "I do!" ”

"Thank you." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to tell you something. I'm going to take you to the front of the battle to see what war is. Maybe after that, you'll understand what you're going to do. ”

"Take me there...... Watching the battle in front of the battle? ”

"Not bad!" Qin Mubai said, "Five days later, it will be the time of my war with Garqinling. Originally, it was quite inappropriate to take you to the front of the battle to watch the game. But I was entrusted by the prince to have another time with your friends, and I think you deserve to make an exception. After returning from the battle, there will be no interference or interrogation of where you are going and what you are going to do. ”

Li Xueyan frowned lightly and groaned for a moment, then nodded firmly, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”

"Five days later, you and the Tantai sisters will pretend to be my guards and follow me into battle to supervise the battle! I believe that from then on you will truly understand the difference between a woman's kindness and a righteous kindness! ”

"Although, I don't want to see bloodshed and slaughter with my own eyes. But...... I will look forward to that day! ”
