Chapter 439 Things are like gods

Late at night, the Tang army camp, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.

"Since you have invited me to take over the overall situation for the time being, I will make an appointment with you first. Listen clearly, it's an agreement, not an order. Li Daozong cut his hand and stood in the center and said to a group of generals sitting at the head.

Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun is here, and some people have just come back from the front line, and the blood and dirt on their bodies have not been washed away. What's more, some people are being treated by military doctors in dressing.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"One, Qin Mubai's coffin must be shipped back to Lanzhou immediately." Li Daozong said, "When we get there, we will officially declare it to the court. It's not a good idea to stay here all the time.

The generals sighed one after another, and no one raised any objection, which was also acquiescence.

"Second, the military charm can be temporarily handed over to Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun to keep each other. However, neither of you has mobilized the power of soldiers and horses without authorization. You must know that I will meet you, and the three of you must agree before you can decide the movement of the soldiers and horses. Li Daozong said, "There are two purposes for doing this. The first is to unify the order, and the second is to prevent people from acting impulsively.

"Yes." Hou Junji responded decisively and immediately took out all the charms left by Qin Mubai, who could mobilized all the soldiers of the previous seven armies and Qin Yifu.

Xue Wanjun naturally has no objection. In the past, although he was the general of Dafeichuan, he handed over his military charm after Qin Mubai came. Now I'm willing to take back half of it.

"The third..." Li Daozong said half of it, looked at the generals, and then said, "Exit from Dafeichuan immediately and retreat to Shanzhou."

"What?" As soon as this statement came out, the handsome tent suddenly made an uproar!

"The deep hatred of the sea of blood has not been avenged, so this is retreating?"

"We are waiting here to fight against the camp. How many brothers are buried in the battlefield and retreat like this?"

"Dafeichuan is a foundation that the young commander took back and worked hard for many years. It is the gateway of Helong and the throat of Kansai! How can it be discarded!"

......

The generals were already excited and quarreled loudly.

Hou Junji's face was blue and he didn't say anything; Xue Wanjun showed a trace of displeasure and obviously refused to withdraw his troops, but he maintained restraint and did not object.

After arguing for a long time, everyone gradually settled down. Although everyone did not mean to target Li Daozong, their attitude was obviously quite tough and absolutely did not agree to withdraw from Dafeichuan.

"I understand your feelings." Li Daozong said patiently, "Many of you know the personal relationship between me and Qin Mubai. To be clear, he is the son-in-law I have already decided on, like half a son. In addition, I have also been fighting in the south and the north for half of my life. Why don't I understand the meaning of the two armies competing for an inch of land before the battle? Every step forward may mean tens of millions of bloodshed and casualties. Dafeichuan is one of the most powerful fists and the most important foundations of the Governor's Office of Lanzhou. If it weren't for the last resort, would I say the word 'evacuate'?

"Your Majesty, I respect your reputation for the rest of your life, and I also know that you and the young commander have a good relationship with each other before your death. However, you have to give a good reason for your brothers to flinch and give up Da Feichuan like this!" Several generals said together.

"The reason is very simple. At this time, our army can no longer fight. Li Daozong said, "Originally, the strength of our army was not as good as that of the Tubo army; now, the new funeral of the commander is in chaos, and the soldiers are out of control and difficult to command. All these things are the appearance of a defeated army. How can you die in vain with a moment of righteousness and blood courage?

"Your Highness!" Xue Wanjun finally couldn't help it. He stood up and shouted with a trace of anger, "You also saw today's battle with your own eyes! - What does it mean that my military strength is not as good as Tubo? Our army of 30,000 horses, in the face of Tubo's 300,000 troops vowed to fight to the death, have they ever lost half the momentum? The Kunlun iron horse, which is known as invincible in the world, is nothing more than that! Why does the prince need to grow other people's ambition and destroy his prestige!"

Li Daozong frowned deeply, walked to him and said, "General Xue, this battle is really fierce. All of our soldiers are heroic and brave. However, even if you didn't lose today's battle, did you win? If the garchinling really sends all the main forces to fight with you, can one of these 30,000 brothers, including you, Xue Wanjun, return to the camp?

"If you die, you will die. What are you afraid of!" Xue Wanjun roared, "Xue, I'd rather die than retreat!" Otherwise, I'm ashamed to see my parents in Lanzhou!"

A general stood up neatly - "We would rather die than retreat"

Hou Junji has been sitting quietly on the Maza. At this time, he sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the brothers of all families have just come back today. A cavity of blood and anger has not dissipated, and it can't be discussed. Why don't we discuss it tomorrow!"

"That's good." Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the public, Li Daozong had to postpone the resolution and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm going back to the camp to rest. Let's discuss other things again."

Xue Wanjun came out silently, leaving only Li Daozong and Hou Junji in the account.

"Hou Junji, tell me the truth." Li Daozong asked with restrained eyebrows, "Qin Mubai, what's going on?"

"The poison died." Hou Junji's expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"Real?"

"It can't be fake." Hou Junji said lightly, "Otherwise, you can pry open the coffin and check it by yourself."

Li Daozong's face turned angry and stared on the spot: "Do you want me to be torn to pieces by all the soldiers of Da Feichuan?! - It's nonsense!"

After saying that, Li Daozong, who was full of anger, stroked his sleeves and left.

Hou Junji inadvertently grinned at the corners of his mouth and smiled playfully.

The handsome back camp, in Princess Wencheng's room.

It has been a long time since he arrived in Dafeichuan, and Li Daozong came to visit Li Xueyan for the first time. At this time, he sent the military doctor and the maid in the room out, closed the door and sat next to her couch.

Li Xueyan is still in a coma.

Li Daozong's thick eyebrows frowned and his face was tense. He held Li Xueyan's cold hand, and there was a tingling pain in his heart.

"Yan'er, Dad came to see you." Li Daozong said softly, "Wake up and talk to Dad?"

Li Xueyan just lay quietly and did not react.

"Qin Mubai, this stinky boy, is really not a thing. How do you say you'll go?" Li Daozong shook his head and clenched his teeth. "If I had known today, the last time I came to Dafeichuan, I should have advised him to retreat for the time being. After all, the edge of the Chalqin Mausoleum is so strong that you can't compete with it. But Qin Mubai... I'm really determined to be as strong as a stone, and I didn't even dare to say what I persuaded.

"Like you said, it would be great if there was no war! Maybe now, you and Qin Mubai have become a young couple who are envious of others, and your father can also expect you to be happy. How can it be like now..."

"Father..." With a sudden soft call, Li Daozong was suddenly overjoyed.

"Yan'er, you're awake! - You look at me, I'm your father!"

"Dad... Why are you really here?" Li Xueyan turned her head with difficulty and looked at Li Daozong with her eyes slightly open, whispering like a mosquito.

"How can I not come when such a thing happens?" Li Daozong sighed, and then woke up, "You just said, why did I 'really' come to Dafeichuan? What's the purpose?"

Li Xueyan closed her eyes and rested for a moment, and then said with great difficulty, "It's Mu Bai..."

"What's wrong with Qin Mubai?"

"Mu Bai seemed to have expected that you would come... The last time he met me in his life, he talked about it."

"What?" Li Daozong was suddenly shocked and alertly signaled Li Xueyan to silence. Then he ran to the door to check it in person and checked it without eavesdropping before returning to the couch.

"Yan'er, tell me the truth, what's going on with Qin Mubai now?" Li Daozong asked in a low voice.

"I also know..." Li Xueyan opened her eyes, looked at the roof blankly, and muttered, "Although I have reason to suspect that he is not dead, more facts tell me that he is indeed dead..."

"Hey! ..." Li Daozong sighed and shook his head.

"Dad, daughter, I have something to ask you." Li Xueyan suddenly said.

"You said, I will promise!" Li Daozong hurriedly held Li Xueyan's hand tightly and said, "The former father came to Dafeichuan. He not only scolded you but also hit you. After going back, he didn't sleep well for half a month. You won't... be weird, can you?"

"No..." Li Xueyan smiled sadly and said, "Dad played well. Otherwise, her daughter would not have woken up and would not understand what is worth and what is infatuation.

"What do you understand?" Li Daozong said a little confusedly.

"My daughter only understands one thing. The most precious thing in the world is the happiness that can be grasped in front of her..."

Li Daozong was speechless for a moment. He didn't understand what Li Xueyan was referring to and who she was.

"Dad, my daughter wants to ask you... Let me have a marriage with Mu Bai. Don't marry your daughter to anyone else in this life.

"What? You are crazy!" After all, Li Daozong was a bloody man from martial arts, and he shouted on the spot, "This can never be agreed!"

"That daughter, the only one who died, followed Mu Bai and went underground..." After saying that, Li Xueyan slowly closed her eyes and looked extremely calm and indifferent.

"You! ..." Li Daozong was immediately annoyed, but when he saw Li Xueyan like this, he was really sad and could no longer get angry.

"Okay, Yaner, this life can be discussed later. How about our father and daughter?" Li Daozong said softly, "The most urgent thing is that you should recover as soon as possible. I came here for my father to take on the responsibility of hosting the overall situation. I'm afraid I can't surround you all day. Tomorrow, I will send someone to escort Mu Bai's coffin back to Lanzhou for my father. You can also go with me and don't stay in Dafeichuan.

Hearing the word 'the coffin', Li Xueyan once again cut her heart like a knife, but she couldn't cry.

"Hey! ... Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Bai left, Da Feichuan's group of dragons turned into a mess. After all, Li Daozong was worried about military affairs and couldn't help saying, "Too many people are blindfolded by grief and anger, and there is only hatred in their hearts. If the whole army of Kansai is buried because of this, wouldn't it be ashamed of Mu Bai? ...Yan'er, you should go back to Lanzhou early. Don't stay here to distract your father. The current situation is really critical.

Originally, Li Xueyan was weak and half asleep. Li Xueyan suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and asked, "Dad, how is it dangerous now?"

Li Daozong was shocked to see his daughter like this, "Yan'er, are you all right?"

"Dad, tell me quickly, how is the crisis at the present?" Li Xueyan even sat up and clung to Li Daozong's sleeve and begged.

Li Daozong looked at Li Xueyan blankly and in surprise, and had to say, "Before I came, Xue Wanjun fought several battles with Tubo without authorization, and the loss of soldiers was quite tragic. At present, we can only withdraw our troops. However, even as a father, he could not control this group of proud generals under Qin Mubai's command. They would rather die than retreat. They are worried about this matter for their father!"

"God's will... Is it really God's will?" Li Xueyan suddenly became crazy and muttered to herself.

"What's the matter, Yaner, are you all right?" Li Daozong's heart suddenly tightened, and he was afraid that his baby daughter would go crazy.

"Dad, look!" Li Xueyan hurriedly took out a small white kit from her close place in her arms, handed it to Li Daozong, and said, "This is one of the three kits given to me before Mu Bai... Poison. The two daughters have already dismantled it by themselves. This is the third one! At that time, Mu Bai said, if one day is very critical, even when you are at a loss, you will open it!"

"Is there such a thing?" Li Daozong was very wrong. He hurriedly tore and tear through the white cloth bag. There was a white silk in it, which was a special silk book used by the army to write military orders and issue military orders.

It's actually a military order!

There are also Qin Mubai's personal drawings and signatures on it!

"How can this... be!" Li Daozong was immediately surprised.

"What's the matter, Dad?" Li Xueyan asked curiously.

"No more, you can rest here. As a father, go to Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun immediately!" After saying that, Li Daozong didn't even have time to look at Li Xueyan and left in a hurry.

Li Xueyan sat on the couch and muttered to herself, "This third kit is still the same as the previous two. Is Zhizhu holding the material like a god? Mu Bai, you must not be dead yet, right? ......”

In the commander-in-chief's tent, Li Daozong unfolded the white silk and put it on the commander's table. He said to Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun, "When Qin Mubai was in the army, he would issue an order to annotate the military fold every day. You must know his handwriting!"

Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun came forward to have a look together in surprise. They immediately shouted with one voice, "Where did the prince get it?"

"Don't worry about this!" Li Daozong said, "You should abide by the military order left by Qin Mubai, right? You can see this word clearly! - 'General order: All the generals and soldiers of the Kansai Army, abandon all the burdens, only bring horses and dry food, and the light soldiers immediately set off, and evacuate Dafeichuan to retreat to Danzhou! - Signed, Qin Mubai, the general manager of the march of the Kansai Province, and signed by the general manager of the march and signed by Qin Mubai!"

"How is this... possible?" Xue Wanjun was stunned, "Is it the young commander's heroic spirit?"

"Just take it!" Li Daozong said, "Tomorrow, I will read Qin Mubai's order in front of all the soldiers. You don't want to listen to my order, but you should listen to the military order left by Qin Mubai, right?
