When Ni Shu Si received Qin Mubai's war letter, he was lying on the couch and was treated by a Turkic witch doctor. Although he had recovered from his injuries, Xue Rengui's arrow had directly pierced and nailed him to the ground. The superficial injuries are no longer in the way, but the internal injuries may follow him for the rest of his life. However, in the cold and summer, or joy, anger and sorrow, it may affect internal injuries, and the pain in the internal organs cannot be taken as if it were a bayonet.

In front of the tent, there were several sorcerers in the army who "danced the gods" around the brazier and prayed for victory in the war. There were more than thirty generals standing on the left and right of the North Courtyard, and everyone looked at the mud with a nervous expression.

Clay slurped open the letter and unfolded the letterhead. I saw that there were only a few words on it, "Kansai Qin is here, who dares to fight".

Mud suddenly flicked as if he had been shocked, his fingers clenched and pulled the letterhead into a ball, and then he lay down on the ground with a scream.

"Marshal!" The generals were shocked.

"The marshal must not be angry!!" The witch doctor was so frightened that he hurriedly came to caress his muddy chest and poured him medicinal soup.

The mud slurped his face white, like white paper, even his lips lost his blood, his teeth were clenched tightly, his eyes were closed and his whole body was trembling.

"Marshal, take care!" The generals were frightened and worried, and did not dare to come forward to be alarmed, so they knelt on the ground together.

The mud is ripe, the former eagle of the desert, the king of war, has been crisscrossing the desert and the Western Regions for twenty or thirty years, and has never been defeated. Beiting can have today's prestige, and eighty percent of the credit is due to this meritorious veteran. Today, he is the pillar of Beiting and the soul of the army. At this moment, the enemy is current, if the mud is sipping and falling, then the North Court will really be finished.

Mud slug didn't completely fall into a drowsy, but he had just been blocked by a breath of evil breath in his chest, and he was dizzy. After a while, he came back to his senses leisurely, spread out the war book in his hand, glanced around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Mubai's war book." ”

"Marshal, my Gongyue city wall is high and thick, with 200,000 armor buckles, and the Khan is still transferring troops in the tooth tent, we are enough to fight Qin Mubai!" The general shouted.

Ni Shu sipped his old eyebrows and frowned deeply, shook his head and said, "Gongyue City, how about Biluo City?" - Haven't you heard of how Qin Mubai forced the Garqin Mausoleum out of Luo and fought to the death? ”

The generals in the audience suddenly woke up and remembered the rumors they had heard, that is, Qin Mubai's hands held many fierce firearms comparable to the "power of gods and Buddhas". In the battles between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, such as the Heavenly Burial of the Phantom Moon Valley, the surprise attack on Golmud, the flooding of Dafeichuan, and the burning of some cities, such firearms are everywhere. In addition, it is said that he also has a mysterious pro-order team, known as the "God of Fire". The weapons used in the hands of these men were neither swords, guns, nor bows and arrows, but a firearm that projected iron bullets. The fire bullet from the firearm could not be resisted by Hugh's body, even the armor made of iron.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Kansai Army was originally outrageously strong. No one else knows, but the Turks have tried it themselves. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang have already taught them lessons.

……

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became extremely depressing, and there was a faint hint of panic spreading.

In the face of the invincible Kansai Army, Ni Shusi, a battlefield veteran who became famous in a hundred battles, also felt helpless in his heart.

"Who dares to fight! …… What an arrogant young man! Ni Shu sighed, his brows tightened, and he shook his head helplessly again, "But he does have the ability to be arrogant!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the only remaining confidence and illusion in the minds of the generals was completely shattered like seeing the bubbles of the scorching sun!

"Marshal, we ...... now What to do? The general asked helplessly.

Ni Shu didn't speak, and looked at the war book in a daze.

"It's better to ......" someone squeaked.

"Why don't you do it?"

"It's better to ...... We surrender? ”

"Horn!!"

The person who said this was punched on the spot by a general next to him and fell to the ground.

The two generals immediately quarreled and fought, causing everyone to be in a disorder. Ni Shu sipped his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I'm not dead yet!" ”

The generals were immediately solemn, and the two men who were fighting immediately separated, although they were still angry, but they did not dare to speak again.

"Since Qin Mubai has personally come to the Western Regions, it proves that the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty over the Western Regions is a must-win." Ni Shu's face was full of sickly faces, and his voice was also very weak, and he said, "The Kwantan army has just defeated the Garqinling and conquered Tibet, and the morale of the world is like a rainbow. If we didn't take advantage of their recuperation to take the Southern Court and dominate the Western Regions, it means that we have missed the opportunity. Hate only hates Su Dingfang and Hu Luwu, if it weren't for these two people to stir up the situation, the Western Regions are now in my pocket! ”

Everyone was silent.

Ni Shu gritted his teeth, covered his chest with his hands, and said with a painful expression: "I'm old, really old." Tianshan was ambushed, and the old man was broken by Xue Rengui. Since then, I have had nightmares day and night. finally relieved himself, and was put on the spot by Su Dingfang again. This time, Nanting is already within reach, and Xue Rengui has reappeared. In fact, no matter how powerful Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were, it didn't matter. At most, they will fight for the victory or defeat of the first battle, and win or lose for a while. But now, Qin Mubai is here. He is the real feudal official, holding the military power of the Tang State and implementing the policy of remote countries. His appearance means that the Tang Kingdom has officially begun to set foot in the Western Regions. Earlier, when Uncle Qin Bao came, there were only 20,000 horses, and there was only one place in Gaochang. Right now...... Su Dingfang laid some foundations first, and then Qin Mubai personally led the main army of 200,000 to come, which was determined to win! ”

The generals became more and more blocked in their hearts when they heard this, and many people couldn't breathe.

"If you really want to fight...... he shook his head as he stood up with his hands struggling to support the couch, "The old man has been galloping on the battlefield for half his life, and he has never felt so powerless as he is now. If we really want to fight, we ...... The win rate may be less than 10%. ”

When the commander said such words at the time of battle, it undoubtedly meant that the army was exhausted. In fact, it is not to sip mud to grow the morale of others and destroy one's own prestige. Everyone wants to say these things, but no one dares to say them except him.

How can this battle be fought?

In fact, the helplessness in Mushu's heart is only clear to him. Otherwise, he would not have fainted with anger on the spot after seeing the words "who dares to fight". At that time, his heart was full of grief, helplessness, frustration and despair.

It's not that he doesn't want to or dare not fight with the Kansai Army. Two days ago, the scene of the 200,000 troops in the North Court losing their armor without a fight had already broken his heart and chilled his bones.

It's like driving away a pack of rabbits, how do you defeat a ferocious tiger wolf?

At this time, there was a general who was very close to Mu Shusi, and reminded in a low voice: "If the marshal says such a thing at this moment, it will undoubtedly disintegrate the last bit of morale of our army...... Could it be that the marshal, too, agreed to surrender? If this is passed back to the tooth tent and let the Khan know......"

Ni Shusi actually smiled, closed his eyes and waved his hand weakly, "There are always some people who have to take responsibility and pay for the war. Just as in the past, when we swept away any tribe, we had to bring back a few haired skulls as trophies. The dispute between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks came to an end. The strength is in front of us, and we are indeed not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty now. If there is a war, the last bit of vitality of our Turks will be lost, and there is a danger of racial annihilation. If there is peace, he can still preserve the Turkic race and strength, in the hope that he will make a comeback in the future - Qin Shubao was killed by me, and Qin Mubai wants to destroy my Beiting, more than half of the reason is nothing more than because of the revenge of killing his father. I myself went to him and surrendered to him, and left him at his disposal. As long as Beiting can retain its vitality, the mud that has already been half buried in the soil is ripe, what is the pity? ”

"Marshal, no!" All the generals panicked and knelt down together and pleaded.

"I've made up my mind!" Ni Shu's eyes flashed immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Go and ask the envoy of the Kansai Army to come and give a message to Qin Mubai for me." Just say...... Mud sip, willing to fall!! ”

When the envoy in the army replied, Qin Mubai was sitting in the king's tent with Nanting Khan Bo Bu Qinqin and others, drinking a banquet.

Anyway, the army has already been prepared and is just waiting to go on the expedition, Qin Mubai didn't care, so he casually asked the messenger if he replied. The envoy also said bluntly, saying that he was willing to surrender.

"Surrender?" Many people let out a cry of surprise. This is obviously not what most people expected.

Bo Bu Qinqin was also surprised: "Mud is the most fierce giant in the desert, and he has never bowed to anyone in his life. This time......"

There are also several generals who said whether the mud slug is a fraud, whether this is a delaying tactic, and so on.

Qin Mubai pondered for a moment and asked the envoy how he was going to surrender?

The messenger replied, "In three days' time, I will come to our camp in person to surrender." ”

"That's all, nothing else?" Qin Mubai furrowed his brows, "Figuratively speaking, the army withdrew from Gongyue City and wiped out the weapons?" ”

"No ......," the messenger shook his head.

"Then what did he vote for!" Qin Mubai slapped the wine case with a deep snort, scaring everyone present.

Everyone clearly heard the irrepressible anger in his heart from his slap and yell.

After all, the father's hatred is not shared!

"You go to Gongyue City again and relay my original words to Ni Shusi-" Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and said sonorously, "If you want to surrender, you can." But there are three conditions. First, mud slurped and all the generals in his hands, and tied up all of them to surrender to our army; second, hand over all the baggage and ordnance in his army, and escort them to our army together with the mud slug entourage, and hand them over to our army for safekeeping and distribution; Third, all the Beiting troops withdrew from Gongyue City, leaving not a single one, and lined up in twenty tuns fifteen miles outside the city. I will not allow any of them to have even a knife that cuts flesh - all of these three things he will not agree to and do. Otherwise, you'll be fighting me to the death! ”

"Yes! - "That envoy is also a person of courage, otherwise Qin Mubai would not have sent him to envoy the enemy army." He let out a loud shout, took the promise and ran away.

There was silence.

Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and others, who were familiar with Qin Mubai, all felt that Qin Mubai's actions today were somewhat different from usual. In the past, Qin Mubai's diplomacy and methods against the enemy have always been soft and hard, and he has always used both soft and hard to guide the situation, and the soft knife kills people and eats people without spitting out bones, and he rarely uses pure force to force the other party to submit. When he was at Yumen Pass, he only used 20,000 or 30,000 horses in his hands to eat alive and fed 100,000 troops from Tubo, Huifu, Gaochang and other countries, which is the best example of war.

But today, Qin Mubai seems to be determined to completely exterminate the 200,000 horses under Ni Shusi's command, and he will pay any price for this, and reject any possibility of peace in one bite.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Qin Mubai soothed his face and smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, let's continue the feast." ”

The atmosphere finally eased a little.

Bo Bu hurriedly toasted the generals of the Tang Army, and asked Qin Mubai casually: "Young Marshal Qin seems to be ...... Hate mud slurp so much? ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "I know what the Khan wants to say. That's right, my father is not the same as the sky, and my father died at the hands of the mud slur. I don't know how much I want to file him. However, my father's last words warned me that 'there is no selfish enmity on the battlefield', that is, I should not think of him and handle the affairs of the Western Regions with a public heart. ”

"Lord Lingzun's mind...... It's unusually broad, indeed. Bo Bu Qinqin sighed lightly and said, "He may have expected that one day you will set foot in the Western Regions to avenge him. Therefore, I want to remind you to be cautious about the character of mud slugging. ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Khan actually wants to remind me, don't kill mud and slurp, right?" ”

"Hehe, Young Marshal Qin is wise, then I won't go around in circles." Bo Bu said with a smile, "It is true that mud is the enemy hated by my whole country, and he is also the enemy of Qin Shaoshuai's father-killer. But if I catch him, I definitely won't kill him. Because he has considerable prestige and influence among our Turkic people, including our Southern Ting Turks, and even in the entire Western Regions. It is not an exaggeration to say that if anyone can defeat Mud Shusi, then he will have no rival in the Western Regions. Now that Mud Sip has taken the initiative to surrender, to be honest, I'm quite surprised. Let him surrender voluntarily, which is even more precious than defeating him directly. Why didn't Young Marshal Qin be impartial and selfless, and use this opportunity to erect kindness and prestige in the Western Regions, and at the same time buy people's hearts? If nothing else, if you do this, at least all the Turks will be in awe of you in the future. In the Western Regions, our Turkic power is the largest. This will undoubtedly bring considerable convenience to the young marshal to conquer the entire Western Regions in the future! ”

"What the Khan says is true." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, "But Khan, you are too worried......"

"The young marshal means ......"

Qin Mubai drank a glass of wine and slammed the wine glass on the table - "I never thought of killing mud and sipping!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Yuwen Hongtai immediately jumped up, "Third brother, the most important thing to kill in this world is mud sipping, why don't you kill it?!" ”

"Shut up!!" Qin Mubai snorted, Yuwen Hongtai couldn't help but sit down, his face flushed.

"Wait for the messenger to reply, and then we will know." Qin Mubai sighed and his brows twisted, "Now, I only care about the banquet!" ”
