Chapter 288 Journey

The next day, Qin Mubai received a copy from Xiangzhou, written by Pang Fei.

The imperial court's letter of appointment has been sent to the Xiangzhou Military Mansion, with Pang Fei to replace the lieutenant left by Qin Mubai. From this, Pang Fei also knew that Qin Mubai would really not go back. There are many words in the letter, mostly gratitude, nostalgia, respect and expressing my determination.

At the same time, there is another letter in the letter - written by Chen Yan from Tanzhou!

Qin Mubai was a little excited and hurriedly opened the envelope.

Chen Yan's beautiful little regular script with a heroic spirit made Qin Mubai's heart throb a little. There are few words in the letter, most of which are about her recent situation and report her safety. She said that everything was fine after returning to her hometown. Most of her relatives stay at home for a few more days. Relatives and friends can't shirk their boxing. In addition, they have some chores, so they will stay for at least half a year. During the Double Ninth Festival this year, you may be able to visit Qin Mubai in Xiangzhou.

The words in the letter are just like Chen Yan's character. Simple and neat, never talk nonsense, and don't reveal any feelings of missing and tenderness. At first glance, it looks more like the letter written by Pang Fei.

"Hey! Seeing this, Qin Mubai covered the letter and sighed.

The sun and the moon are like shuttles. In a blink of an eye, they have been separated from Chen Yan for more than half a year. After she left, Qin Mubai never returned to the small building on the outskirts of Xiangzhou. But it's not that he is ruthless. On the contrary, he is also a little worried that he will see things and feel hurt.

Chen Yan has always been in a very special position in Qin Mubai's heart. This is different from the relationship between him and Princess Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang.

She and Wu Mei Niang first set a name and then fall in love. The relationship is very clear, that is, the relationship between men and women; and Princess Gao Yang, after all kinds of twists and turns, Qin Mubai was moved by her. The two are also deeply in love, and talking about marriage is already in front of them.

Only Chen Yan, she never asked Qin Mubai for anything, nor did she care about her identity and situation, and did not ask for anything in return. For Qin Mubai, Chen Yan is like a well-informed elder sister, a confidant who deeply understands his heart, and a gentle and considerate wonderful lover.

She is smart, witty and understanding, and has a restrained and resolute temperament. When he was with Qin Mubai, this indifferent and courageous swordsman turned into a pool of gentle and pure water, giving him infinite tenderness without complaint or reciprocity. Only when he was with Chen Yan did Qin Mubai feel most relaxed, unrestrained and without any pressure.

Now, Qin Mubai knows why she is related to Chen Yan - her personality has many similarities to Yin Defei and belongs to the same type of woman!

Their kind of women are typical intellectual women. Their charm comes from the inside, and the glory comes from the bone marrow! For a man like Qin Mubai, it is like a magic spell, with a fatal and irresistible attraction!

And Chen Yan is more unrestrained and free than Yin Defei, and she has nothing to ask for Qin Mubai and pays silently without complaint or regret.

Only if there is no dispute is a big dispute. The more Chen Yan asked for nothing, the more Qin Mubai wanted to give her more. Whenever I think of her in my heart, I always feel indeed and guilty, and the more I feel that I can't live without her.

Now, Chen Yan is far away from Tanzhou and still sends her thoughts to Xiangyang Xiaolou; but she wants to go to western Xinjiang. The two of them drive on each other, and their thoughts have to pass through the post station.

Qin Mubai folded the letter carefully, took the oil paper to wrap it, and carefully put it on his chest.

He didn't reply. I don't want Chen Yan to know that she has left Xiangyang and gone to Lanzhou. In that case, it may make her feel that the distance between the two is closer and less worried.

After Li Yu came, his mother and sister also knew that Qin Mubai was about to leave home and go to Lanzhou. This is a big deal for them. The mother and daughter discussed for two nights and made a tragic decision together - the whole family went to Lanzhou!

Qin Mubai didn't allow them to do this. Lanzhou is not as good as Xiangyang. Although the father and son went there together, they could not move the old Qin family. There are border gates and battlefields. Not to mention the risks, the life at the border is also very hard and not suitable for them. The mother and daughter insisted again and again, and Qin Mubai had to make a compromise: when he went to Lanzhou, he would discuss it with his father. If your father allows it, send someone to pick them up.

In this way, Liu and Shuang'er gave up and temporarily relied on Qin Mubai's idea.

Only then did this stop, and Princess Gaoyang over there went to Qin Mubai's house with a sad face. She said with a sad face that the emperor did not agree to let Princess Gaoyang follow Qin Mubai and go to Lanzhou together. Princess Gaoyang cried again and again and begged, and almost cried twice and hung up. The emperor made half a compromise: half a year later, if the situation in Lanzhou was stable, Mr. Qin also agreed, and then allowed Princess Gaoyang to go to Lanzhou!

Li Shimin's decision really coincided with Qin Mubai's idea of dealing with his mother and sister.

"Wow, I don't care! I'm going to Lanzhou with you now!" Princess Gaoyang pestered Qin Mubai and cried, "Mubai, will you go and ask your father to agree?"

Qin Mubai persuaded him. He even coaxed and cheated. He was so tired that his three-inch tongue was a little cramped. Princess Gaoyang agreed anguishly and went to Lanzhou half a year later.

At this time, Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, he can play lightly! In fact, why don't I want to meet my mother, sister and Linger every day? However, the border battle is different from the peaceful rear. You can suffer and take risks, but you will never allow these relatives to suffer innocently!

I went to the Duke of Wei several times. Every time I went there, Su Dingfang was there. The three masters and apprentices discussed the art of war, and their joy was also harmonious. I'm going to the border gate to fight. Even if it's better to grind the gun in the battle, it's better than not to listen to it. So Qin Mubai asked Li Jing's many divisions and brigades about the tips and ways of fighting in the foreign army. Li Jing was also very patient and answered all the questions patiently.

The deeper the discussion, the more Qin Mubai felt his shallowness and ignorance in the military. We know that a military god like Li Jing can't be refined casually. Among the hundreds of millions of people in thousands of years, there is also a Li Jing. His extraordinaryness is incomparable.

Hone! There is no other shortcut except training! Qin Mubai secretly made up his mind that he went to Lanzhou this time. He must be more and more diligent. Don't waste Li Jing's painstaking efforts!

Qin Mubai also went to the house of the King of Jiangxia twice. First, thank you. At the beginning, Li Daozong turned back thousands of miles and sent him a treasure knife in person. Second, Li Daozong followed Li Shimin to attack Xue Ju in the west, and then stayed in the area of the Helong border gate of Lanzhou for a period of time. He was very familiar with the customs, geography and hydrography, as well as the military strength and tactics of the Tibet people. Qin Mubai asked him for advice for a long time, and also had a rough understanding of the situation in Lanzhou.

A few days later, the transfer order of the Ministry of War was officially issued. He was removed from the official officer of Qin Mubai Xiangzhou, and was awarded the general of Zuo Weiyifu, and also the governor of Lanzhou, with the rank of four grades. On the same day, he led more than 10,000 soldiers and went to Lanzhou to be appointed.

In addition, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, generals of Zuo Weiwei, the Kansai field army composed of light horsemen and soldiers from more than 10,000 garrison towns around Fengxiang, have rushed to Lanzhou first.

At the same time, the other two appointments also reached the Wu Palace. Xue Rengui, the former imperial army of the Wuwang Mansion, and Yuwen Hongtai, the lieutenant in the tent, divided the left and right generals of Zuo Weiwei Yifu, and went on an expedition with Qin Mubai.

With these two letters of appointment, Wu Wangfu made a lot of trouble - everyone was shocked!

Isn't it obvious that he is digging the corner of the King of Wu? The poaching person is still Qin Mubai. It's incredible!

So, Li Ke is drunk all day long. Every time he scolds "the wall and everyone falls down" and scolds someone as a hypocrite who "turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone"! Princess Gaoyang knew all about it. She came to apologize and comforted Li Ke many times. Later, Li Ke simply closed the door and let Princess Gaoyang hit the nail.

For this reason, Princess Gaoyang complained to Qin Mubai a lot about how he could treat the third brother like this. Qin Mubai did not explain. He deduced that the imperial court ordered something like this, and he had no choice.

Soon, Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai had to be ordered and came to Qin Mubai to report. Xue Rengui has always been taciturn and thoughtful. Naturally, he won't say much. On the contrary, Yuwen Hongtai, who is straightforward and simple-minded, often scolds left and right. Although he did not dare to complain to Qin Mubai, it can be seen at a glance that this upright man is also quite dissatisfied with Qin Mubai's play.

No matter how the outside world talks about it, Qin Mubai just doesn't explain and doesn't care. Do what you should do. It took a few days to clean up the soldiers and horses, and the food and fodder equipment were ready. The auspicious day after the imperial temple prayer also arrived. Qin Mubai took Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai, the tiger and lion generals, and led 30 hundred cavalry guards, to the Zuo Weiwei camp in the fifteenth mile north of Chang'an City.

The emperor appointed Li Yan, the prime minister and minister of the Ministry of War, to be the master of ceremonies and saw him off. The generals were ready, just waiting for Qin Mubai, the middle man, to attend the ceremony in the future.

The troops of the Tang Dynasty set out on an expedition, all of which had established sacrifices and ceremonies, which were very solemn and serious. After offering sacrifices to the gods of the wind and rain god, the ceremony of "giving an axe" will be carried out in the imperial temple. That is to say, the king awarded the axe and the emperor, which symbolized the authority of the army, and said, "From now on, the top to the sky (down to the earth), and the general ruled it."

The ceremony lasted for a long time, and it was just over.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers in the three armies, half of whom are light riders, and even the pawns are equipped with horsebacks. Therefore, the marching speed of the Tang army has always been extremely fast. After the heavy grain and fodder followed the army, there were more than 10,000 people escorted by the army.

Qin Mubai came from the army in the town, so that Xue Rengui led 3,000 former troops to open the road first, and Yuwen Hongtai's governor's rear army and grain. There are more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians, more than 8,000 large and small vehicles, and the team mesle for dozens of miles and marches towards Lanzhou in western Xinjiang!

When he reached the head of Weishui Bridge, Qin Mubai stationed on the horse and looked back at Chang'an.

I went home for more than a month, and I left in a blink of an eye. This time, I went to the cold moon border gate with yellow sand rolling in the long sky. He knew that at this moment, in some corners of Chang'an, someone must be raising his eyes and looking in his direction.

Tens of millions of miles, the return date is uncertain; on the journey, the yellow sand reflects the golden armor...
