"The wind is flying, and the flag is flying

The big horn blows the knife and gun

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast

Blue Sky Dome and Hunting Ground

The Blade Whistling Tiger Eagle Fly-"

After the victory, Hou Junji and his soldiers sang the military song "Big Horn Song" belonging to the Tang Dynasty, like a city wall, and the goal was to point directly at the city.

They are like pawns crossing the river on a chess board, with no way back, determined to move forward.

Behind them, piles of corpses and fireworks flew into the sky.

"Will the world see us as demons, ghosts, or beasts? It doesn't matter anymore! ”

"We're just doing, the only thing we can do right now!"

"It's just that before we die, let the blood in our chests gallop a little more presumptuously and thoroughly!"

……

Hou Junji pointed his knife at the sky and shouted-"Brothers! Are you having fun?! ”

"Happy !!"

"Then keep the fun going! - Let the once invincible barbarians of the plateau tremble under our iron hooves! ”

"Just like Dongzan Yusong, he is coming to beg us to kill him!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "General Hou is mighty! ”

"Brothers, mighty!" Hou Junji laughed loudly, "Continue to advance, the target is Luo Some City!" ”

"Tubo barbarian, Qinling child, get out of your tortoise shell and come to fight your grandfather Hou to the death! Grandpa wants to take off your pants to see if you are all the same as Dongzan Yusong, no eggs! ”

"Hahaha-"

Unrestrained and wild laughter shook the thin air of the plateau. Liuyun seemed to tremble and rushed away.

Dafeichuan, the main camp of the Kansai Army, is in the tent.

Qin Mubai, Li Ke, and Quan Wanji set up separate tables, and there were more than ten large and small clerks in the army around them, all of whom were busy approving official documents in the army. After Hou Junji left, Qin Mubai gave Quan Wanji the post of marching Sima temporarily, and led the general army to lead the logistics and internal affairs and department in charge of military orders and implement military law.

The 300,000 army has just entered Dafeichuan, and there are many military affairs, so Qin Mubai and the others have been quite busy in the past few days, so busy that they are not in the mood to talk about meat jokes.

After Qin Mubai led the army to come, Li Daozong, who had originally led the army to defend this place, breathed a sigh of relief. The two armies changed their guards, and Li Daozong, the acting governor of Lanzhou, still returned to Shanzhou to take care of the grain and grass in logistics.

Before leaving, the crowd will say goodbye to Li Daozong. After the banquet, Li Daozong drank a little wine, pulled Qin Mubai and said privately: "Mubai, I shouldn't have told you about Yan'er at such a time, but ......"

"If the prince has something to say, just say it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I'm like half of your son, what else is there to worry about?" ”

"After Snow Goose returned to Beijing, she became a monk." After Li Daozong finished saying these words, he looked at Qin Mubai's face, and his eyes were straight.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, "Monk? ……”

"It's not a lay disciple of Buddhism who leads the practice, or a pseudo-fake Taoist girl who pretends to decorate the Tao but is actually lustful, but really hides in the deep mountains and ancient temples to refine the Dan and cultivate the Tao." Li Daozong sighed lightly and said, "Now, no one knows where she went. ”

"......" Qin Mubai was speechless for a while, sighed and said, "I'm sorry Lord Wang, it's all my fault." ”

Li Daozong shook his head and waved his hand, his expression was a little bitter, "I don't blame you." This is due to her temperament, and we parents can only blame us parents for being too arrogant and doting on her. But then again, the way she is now, it is better than marrying Gao Yuan. ”

"That's ......" Qin Mubai nodded silently.

"Okay, no more talk." Li Daozong smiled self-deprecating and bitterly, and said, "You use the soldiers well, don't think about anything else." Anything I said to you before about Yan'er, don't take it to heart, just treat it as a joke. From now on, you will treat yourself as if there is no such person as Li Xueyan in the world. ”

Qin Mubai didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded lightly, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I will do my best to fight the battle in front of me." I won't think much about the rest now. The only big rear that worries me, now that the prince is in charge, I can rest easy. In addition, my wife and children at home will also have to be taken care of by Lord Lao. ”

"Don't worry." Li Daozong threw down these two words and led more than 40,000 Lanzhou recruits and a large number of civilian men who transported military supplies back to Shanzhou.

After the army was stationed, Qin Mubai gathered the generals and began to urgently discuss and arrange future strategic warfare tactics.

In fact, the general strategy is already very clear, that is, with Wei Chi Jingde, who is out of Sichuan and Shu, to attack Tubo and smash Huanglong, and take some cities. But when it comes to tactics, it's not so easy.

The biggest problem at hand is not the army's combat strength, military strategy, or logistical rations, but altitude sickness.

Just arrived in Dafeichuan, including Li Ke, many people had obvious altitude sickness - headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, tinnitus, chest tightness, and so on. In more severe cases, vomiting, diarrhea, facial edema, and even fainting on the ground.

Most of the people who were seriously troubled by altitude sickness were the reinforcements who had just arrived from Guannai and the Hui soldiers from the grassland. Most of the old units of the Kansai Army, which were originally active in this area, were able to adapt.

All this was naturally expected by Qin Mubai, and relevant arrangements had already been made. One of the most important things is a special decoction that is popular in the plateau area - "safflower soup". It is said that this is a medicinal soup invented by a Tibetan witch doctor to relieve altitude sickness, which is made of rhodiola, safflower, astragalus and other medicinal materials, and is equipped in large quantities in the Kansai army all year round. In addition, there are materials such as Tibetan butter tea and highland Shinjing salt as dietary aids.

Depending on each person's physique, the ability to adapt to altitude sickness and the length of time to adapt are also different. Therefore, the soldiers can only be gradually adapted. For example, here in Dafeichuan, first adapt to ten days and a half months, and then advance thirty or fifty miles to the northwest, and camp troops at a slightly higher altitude to recuperate and adapt for a period of time.

Therefore, the overall tactic can only be to advance step by step, and it is impossible to immediately lead the army to the plateau. If that were the case, before the Tubo people led the army to counterattack, the Kwantan Army would have lost most of its combat effectiveness.

"Then how did the men and horses of Hou Junji's department kill and fight on the plateau?" This question was raised.

Qin Mubai replied: "Most of the men and horses led by Hou Junji are veterans of the Kansai Army who have been stationed in Dafeichuan all year round. Their ability to adapt to the plateau is inherently strong, which is one of them; Second, Hou Junji chose to take a horizontal detour to the Kunlun Mountains rather than immediately go deep and deep, so he actually followed the principle of advancing layer by layer, and gradually adapted to the rising plateau. Point 3...... They've gotten out of the way. ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent. This style of play, which is not something that anyone can play, is obviously not suitable for the current Kansai Army.

At the military meeting, it was agreed that all the soldiers would be divided into three groups by observation after a ten-day rest in Dafeichuan. The first group, which is the most adapted to the plateau, forms the vanguard force; The second batch was barely able to adapt to the plateau, and the third batch was too strong for a while to adapt to the altitude sickness. The last two groups of men and horses can only be used as backup troops, let them be sent in the rear as appropriate, and give them a little more time to adapt.

Li Ke had just arrived from Youzhou, thousands of miles away, and now he was already unaccustomed to the water and soil, and now he suffered from altitude sickness, and suffered a serious illness, and finally fell ill and couldn't get out of bed.

Qin Mubai went to visit him on his sickbed, and still didn't forget to smile teasingly, "Your Highness is really a delicate person like a weak willow and a wind!" I knew that I would have asked you to supervise logistics in Shanzhou, so why bother to come here to get sick? ”

"You're still making fun of me at this time?" Li Ke, who had a scorched face, was going to be angry.

"Okay, don't be angry, do you want to drink water?"

"Don't drink it!"

"Eat some fresh fruit, shall we? This thing is quite rare in Dafeichuan! ”

"Don't eat it!"

"I just found two beauties, and I'm ...... outside the tent"

Li Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, "Help me up and change my clothes!" ”

Qin Mubai slapped his face seriously, "Come in, change your Highness's clothes!" ”

Li Ke suddenly looked like a deflated ball and became angry, "Get out!" ”

Qin Mubai laughed, "Your Highness is angry, and your body is important." I'm not afraid that you will be bored in bed, so I will amuse you. ”

"Where are you amused, you are clearly making fun of me!" Li Ke couldn't cry or laugh. But the mental head is indeed better.

"Actually, I have something to tell you." Qin Mubai said.

"Say."

"Before Hou Junji set out on the expedition, he killed the eldest grandson." Qin Mubai said in a low voice, "You don't know this news yet, right?" In the Kansai Army, a strict blockade has long been ordered. ”

"What?" Li Ke's face changed suddenly, "Then does my father know?" ”

"Yes. At that time, I was in Yumen Pass, and King Jiangxia didn't dare not report such a major event! But I guess that His Majesty the Emperor secretly suppressed the news and has not yet told the eldest grandson Wuji. Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of mess will happen. Qin Mubai said in a low voice, "But paper can't hold the fire, and the eldest grandson Wuji will know sooner or later." This also means that we have completely broken with the eldest grandson Wuji, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation. Between the two sides, it will be life and death, leaving no room for death. ”

Li Ke's thick eyebrows tightened and nodded slowly, "I understand this." Even if there is no murder of the eldest grandson, he will not be able to tolerate me. For he had always felt that I was an alien of unscrupulous blood, a potential enemy with ambitions that could threaten his safety. ”

"After all, isn't it because you are the son of His Majesty the Emperor?" Qin Mubai asked tentatively meaningfully.

"But I didn't think about those things!" Li Ke suddenly said.

"What things?" Qin Mubai chuckled.

"Knowingly ask!" Li Ke was a little annoyed.

Qin Mubai touched his nose and smiled lightly, and said, "Whether you think about it or not, only you know; The reality is that His Majesty the Emperor may be a little interested in giving it a try. ”

Qin Mubai's understatement made Li Ke's face change greatly!

"Mu Bai, even you think so?" Li Ke exclaimed in a low voice, "Think I have different ambitions? ”

"Wrong. It's not that I think you're thinking about it; It's that a lot of people think that you have what it takes. Qin Mubai pursed his lips and said, "Including His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Li Ke fell silent. After a long time, he nodded helplessly and said, "I can't fool myself. My father suddenly transferred me from Youzhou to Lanzhou, saying that it would be impossible without any intention in that regard. However, this kind of thing of "abolishing the heirs and establishing the family" has been like a taboo in all dynasties, which makes people talk about the tiger's color! …… As far as I know, not only the eldest grandson Wuji, but even Fang Xuanling is resolutely opposed to this. I know where I am, I don't have a chance. So sometimes I think that my father deliberately did this, just to push me to the forefront, and let me be a shield to protect the prince he really wants to establish! ”

Qin Mubai's face showed a smile of relief. He nodded and said, "Your Highness, you are really smart. ”

"I'm destined for a tragic end, haven't I?" Li Ke added bitterly, and said, "The party struggle between the DPRK and China has been so serious that it affects the rise and fall of the entire empire, and its core and root cause is nothing more than the dispute between the princes. The eldest brother of the crown prince fell, and I left Youzhou, leaving only the king of Wei and the king of Jin. If you really want to fight, in any respect, the King of Jin is far from being the opponent of the King of Wei. Now that the eldest grandson Wuji has joined forces with the King of Wei again, the King of Jin has no chance of winning. In such a situation, if the father wants to protect the king of Jin, the only way is to divert the attention of the eldest grandson and the king of Wei, so that they can divert the spearhead - so, I have to return to Beijing to overthrow, Lanzhou to supervise the army! ”

"Do you mean that what His Majesty really wants to establish in his heart at this moment is the King of Jin? And you and I are just one of the two stupid people who play the role of the clam fighting? Qin Mubai asked quietly.

Li Ke shook his head blankly, "I don't know...... No one can know. I guess even my father himself doesn't know. In terms of bloodline ability, after the eldest brother of the crown prince was deposed, King Wei had an overall advantage, and no one could compete with him anymore. But the previous events have completely exposed his hypocritical and deceitful side in front of his father. Moreover, the king of Wei was too eager for quick success, and in order to compete for the position of the prince, he lost his due position and integrity, and openly joined forces with his former enemy, Changsun Wuji, so he only openly forced the palace to drive. This kind of blatant gang alliance and party alliance is actually the most taboo for my father. Otherwise, when the eldest grandson Wuji suggested that King Wei should come to Lanzhou to supervise the army, my father would not have sent me unexpectedly. It's like slapping him hard in public and admonishing him severely. Therefore, at any time, my father will not allow others to control the overall situation. No one dares to offend this taboo, no matter who he is! ”

"That's a good point." Qin Mubai nodded in praise, "This time, King Wei is indeed too anxious or too flustered, and he did a big stupid thing with the eldest grandson Wuji, who was also afraid of losing power. ”

Li Ke said: "After thinking about these clearly, I dare to guess, for the matter of establishing the prince, my father and the emperor himself are a little uncontrollable. His old man suddenly pushed me to the stage, and maybe it didn't have much to do with Lichu. He just wanted to set up an evenly matched opponent for the eldest grandson and the king of Wei above the court, so as to achieve the goal of balancing the court! ”

"Your Highness is really wise!" Qin Mubai praised again.

"So, instead of thinking so much, it's better to go back to the basics and not think about anything - I'll just fight! No matter what happens in the future, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! Li Ke smiled calmly.

Qin Mubai nodded, secretly exclaiming in his heart: he is worthy of being a prince with royal blood and growing up in conspiracy and conspiracy since he was a child. Li Ke, who has gone through a lot of training, has made great progress in his cultivation. Now his cold wisdom and wisdom, sharp vision and composure have far exceeded my imagination. Originally, I wanted to persuade him not to think too much and just concentrate on fighting, but now it seems that this lip and tongue can be dispensed with!
