Chapter 306 The Return of Heroes

[I'm back from illness and resume updating... Well, in fact, it's half done. The temporary update won't be too fast, but I'll try my best.]

The competition between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is almost equivalent to the battle between barbarism and civilization.

Tubo, even his own words have not been created. Ru Mao drinks blood in a group, father and son share women, and many children are born who only know their mother but do not know their father. The Tang Dynasty is entering a golden age. The open and inclusive national style is like a hundred rivers, which is also the era of the most poets in Chinese history.

But in the military competition, Datang's advantage over Tubo seems to have not been so obvious. The terrain of Tubo and the cavalry of Tubo make them feel fearless to maintain pressure on the powerful Central Plains, which is full of aggression.

However, when the height of civilization is linked to science and technology, the cavalry advantage that the Tubo people rely on for a living will disappear in an instant.

The Battle of Dafeichuan is not just a military victory and a regional recapture. When Xue Wanjun saw that Qin Mubai led more than a thousand soldiers and horses into the camp with 30 cannons, their shock was beyond words and words to elaborate.

Ten thousand to sixty thousand, this is definitely not an order of magnitude competition. In the past, if there were no 100,000 troops, even if it was a world-class tiger general like Qin Shubao, there was no absolute certainty that he could shake the Tubo people. With Li Jing alone, even if he can win, it will be a protracted war. After all, it is rare for a young man to ride a Turkic capture of the Khan.

But Qin Mubai did it. In addition to the previous bluffs and the soldiers and horses that were used by the timing of suspicious soldiers, only 200 artillerymen actually participated in the war.

Two hundred people, make a big camp and expel 60,000 people...

When the newly built high-altitude gun racks were built on the thirty-faced red-clothed cannons, the black muzzle was aimed at the direction of the retreat of the Tubo people in the west, and their cold bodies almost rose to the height of God.

Xue Wanjun deliberately slipped around the edge of the scorch crater bombarded by the cannon, and measured the size and depth of the crater with his feet. Finally, he sighed, "If the general is bombarded... Where can I find the bones?"

At this time, he suddenly felt that he had always been proud of his martial arts skills and the spirit of immediately crossing the battlefield. In front of such a cannon, he was as humble as an ant, as ridiculous as a mayfly shaking a tree.

"Tubo people, it's not unfair to lose!"

A day later, in the Chinese military account.

Xue Wanjun sat in the first place, but felt uncomfortable. Because all the general's attention was placed beside him, and the middle man in the head of the left hand was on Qin Mubai. He has enjoyed and is more familiar with that kind of naked admiration and god-like look up.

But now, this no longer belongs to him.

The future is terrible.

"Major General, the battlefield has been cleaned up. The Tubo people have been defeated thousands of miles, and countless war horses, yoks and countless tents have been thrown down." Xue Wanjun smiled, smiled sincerely, and even a little humble. "The army checked, and there were more than 13,600 war horses and more than 6,000 yaks. The grain and fodder obtained is enough for 60,000 military use for half a year, piled up like a mountain, and there are countless ordnances. This battle is so thorough that we don't know how to deal with so many trophies. What do you think of the young general?

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Everything depends on General Xue's area. Do you have anything to say?"

"Oh, you're welcome, Major General. Let's make a speech!" Xue Wanjun asked patiently, "Takening Dafeichuan should be part of Lanzhou's plan. The young general takes the strategy, and Xue Mou'an dares to specialize alone?

As soon as this was said, everyone shook their heads sadly. Although Xue Wanjun is handsome in this handsome account, the whole plan falls into the hands of Qin Mubai, a weak major general.

"You're welcome." Qin Mubai hugged his fist and said, "Da Feichuan has taken it. Our Lanzhou army has occupied one of the most important military hubs and expanded hundreds of miles to the west. Moreover, Dafeichuan is the gateway to Tuyuhun. Da Feichuan is in hand, coupled with Hou Junji's victory in Songzhou before, he doesn't have to worry about Tuyu's return to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. For me, Lanzhou, the Silk Road has been unimpeded since then. Lanzhou's business opportunities are unlimited, and the financial resources are just around the corner. This is an excellent virtuous circle, but the premise is that we should stick to Dafeichuan and not lose a moment. Therefore, I propose to raise the defense line of the city to Dafeichuan, where General Xue Wanjun will preside over all military and political affairs.

"Well, okay. I will also have this idea. The major general coincided with the general. Xue Wanjun agreed very happily, and at the same time, his heart was also full of gratitude to Qin Mubai.

The last defeat of Dafeichuan made him lose his teacher and humiliate the country and endangered the country, and he was also demoted. This time, he won Dafeichuan so easily and pleasantly. This achievement is reported to the court. Can he, the coach, not be rewarded? This is one. Second, opening up frontiers is a great thing that has made great achievements in history. This dynasty has always been the most important measure to expand the frontier for the country and reclaim the people. Such a large piece of fertile land and military hub in Dafeichuan was held by Xue Wanjun, who made great achievements in the military.

Xue Wanjun had to be overspered. But the next second, he felt a little embarrassed... It seemed that as long as Qin Mubai had another idea, this military achievement and political achievement could be left behind, and it had nothing to do with Xue Wanjun. He felt that he had received alms from Qin Mubai. But this charity is very useful, so that he can't take care of such things as face and generation.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart: This boy turned his hand over for the clouds and rain, and even a general like me was willing to accept his charity and eat other people's feelings, not to mention others? ...This wrist is capable. In time, why does he limit it?

In Xue Wanjun's eyes looking at Qin Mubai, there was a trace of things that others used to look at him.

Awe.

Xue Wanche and others were shocked when they saw it. In addition to discouragement and curse, they also had to be convinced in their hearts. Especially when they saw the thirty cannons in red standing in the east wind, more fear appeared in their hearts than awe.

Qin Mubai said, "This great victory has won countless military assets. It is suggested that half of the military resources should be awarded to the generals and soldiers of the three armies, and the other half should be handed over to the governor's office, which will be uniformly planned by the governor's office to arrange agricultural and animal husbandry production in Dafeichuan. After his subordinates returned to Lanzhou, he invited the governor at the meeting, and sent other people and soldiers to Dafeichuan to strengthen defense, and increase the number of people and labor. Of course, the families of all the soldiers must also be transferred.

"Hehehe--" There was a bright laughter in the military tent. Qin Mubai's humanized proposal made the generals laugh very convincingly.

"I won't take any of the more than ten thousand military horses, and all of them will be raised in Dafeichuan." Qin Mubai said, "This group of Tubo war horses are used to the severe cold and ice and snow on the plateau. We must let our soldiers get used to this kind of war horses. In addition, yaks are not allowed to kill a single one!"

"Why is this?" Xue Wanjun said puzzledly, "The soldiers are gnawing at the dry food for days, and the saliva of those yaks is about to flow to three feet long!"

"You can't kill." Qin Mubai said firmly, "Milk can be squeezed to drink or wine, I don't care about this. In short, except for the sick and disabled yak, no one is allowed to move. Yak, the boat of the plateau. When marching to war, food and fodder go first. If we don't have the boat on the plateau, we can only take a few days of dry food with us. We can't sleep in the tent, and it's hard to walk an inch.

"So that's it!" As soon as Qin Mubai said this, Xue Wanjun understood - this is obviously the foreshadowing for the entry and cross-attack on the Tubo mainland in the future - the young general, the ambition is not small!

"Not only can't be killed, but we have to take the initiative to raise it artificially." Qin Mubai said, "Yaks are good things, and the most indispensable thing in Dafeichuan is the fertile grassland. The climate is not suitable for farming, so we want to raise Tubo war horses and yoks. Milk alone can be regarded as a huge income. When Lanzhou's business develops, it will be difficult for the garrison in Dafeichuan to be poor.

"Haha, Major General Gao Jian, Gao Jian!" Xue Wanjun laughed loudly.

A fool doesn't want to get rich!

Qin Mubai just smiled and said, "General Xue Wanjun is stationed in Dafeichuan, guarding his throat to carry out animal husbandry; the vacant military and political officer in Danzhou, I will ask the governor to choose another person after I return to Lanzhou. Just ask General Xue Wanzhu to return to Liangzhou. After the victory of Dafeichuan, the Silk Road can be turned nearby. Liangzhou is a fork in the road. General Xue Wanche asked the merchants to persuade merchants to go through Lanzhou as much as possible, and provide the convenience of post stations along the way and the guards as much as possible. In this way, it will not only take hundreds of miles, but also be safer. In this way, Lanzhou will have a wide range of financial resources. It's easy to do things with money!"

"Good! I will go back to Liangzhou soon! Who doesn't want to do something to make money?" Xue Wanche also laughed a lot.

In addition, Liangzhou can be said to be the first defense line in the northwest, and it should not be taken lightly against the Western Turks and the Western Regions. After the battle of Dafeichuan, the Tubo people will not be reconciled. Photographed by the power of artillery and the prestige of General Xue Wanjun, they may no longer dare to easily go south to attack Tuyuhun and Dafeichuan. In this way, the Northwest Commercial Road and the countries in the Western Regions may become their targets. After all, the Tubo people are not only looking at the territory, but also the huge commercial profits and the rich land for them to plunder. Intercepting the commercial road is one of their intentions to occupy Dafeichuan. In the future, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will take action in the Western Regions and directly take action against our business road from the source. Therefore, the strategic thrust of the western line of the Tang Dynasty is likely to turn to Liangzhou. Therefore, General Xue Wanche, your burden will be heavier.

"Well, thank you, Major General, for reminding me. I know it!" Xue Wancher had to be convinced. He has no problem with going to war; he really doesn't think so deeply about these surrounding situations and military and civil affairs. If it hadn't been for Qin Mubai's reminder, he would have broken his skull and couldn't figure out these curves.

"From now on, Da Feichuan, Liangzhou and Lanzhou will become the three horns under the governance of the governor's government." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It will develop and grow on holidays. You can expand thousands of miles, and retreat can be as stable as a rock. Lanzhou, pay attention to shine on the border of Kyushu!"

Hearing this, Xue Wanjun has a little feeling of blood boiling, which is like the kind when he is about to fight for victory, which is enough to fill his brain with dizzy excitement.

He stood up and punched a subordinate as a commander. He said impassionedly, "If we can carry forward the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty and create immortal achievements, everything depends on the young general. We will listen to the punishment and go through fire and water again!"

"Go through fire and water again!" The generals could not stand up and clenched their fists in unison.

Qin Mubai got up and returned the salute and smiled.

Of course, who doesn't want to make contributions and make a fortune together?

Two days after Panhuan, Qin Mubai decided to return to Lanzhou to make sure that the Tubo people had indeed fled.

Xue Wanjun held a banquet and kept toasting Qin Mubai during the banquet. After half of the meal, he seemed to take advantage of the wine to summon up his courage and say, "The young general is leaving, the 200 artillerymen..."

Are you finally willing to beg me? I won't take the initiative to give you this big favor for nothing. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "How about leaving it to General Xue to drive?"

"Ah, that's great!" Xue Wanjun suddenly smiled happily and couldn't hide his treasure-like look. He said, "With these 30 cannons in red and 200 artillerymen, even if there are millions of divisions in Tubo, why are you afraid of it?"

"It can't be entrusted." Qin Mubai rudely poured a ladle of cold water on him and said, "The reason why our army won the great victory in the previous battle was that the first appearance of the cannon in red made a sudden appearance. They were dizzy and didn't know why. They may still suspect that it was God's demotion. But such an effect will definitely not work so well the second time. Therefore, the red cannon is afraid that its power will be greatly reduced, and it can only exert some limited lethality. Therefore, don't be superstitious about its ability. Caution, vigilance and action according to your ability are the key points to keep Dafeichuan. Thirty cannons in red... It may be far less powerful than General Xue imagined. Therefore, the foot-walking horse in your hand is still fundamental.

"Well, that's, that's it." Xue Wanjun was splashed with a bucket of cold water, which was still grateful and surprised. In his opinion, those cannons and artillerymen are simply "divine objects"! Just like the "military vest" of the three treasures of soldiers, the most awesome artifacts in the world now belong to him. No matter how useful this game is, this vanity is enough.

After the banquet, Qin Mubai led his Qinfu Jingqi and returned with Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and others. Xue Wanche also left together, took his three or five attendants out of Dafeichuan with him, and then turned to Liangzhou.

Along the way, Yuwen Hongtai, who had not killed anyone in the whole battle and didn't even see the faces of several Tubo people, was so idle that he was so idle that he didn't say anything most of the time, and his face was a little green, like an angry child. Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui looked at him and wanted to laugh, and joked all the way.

The military newspaper of the Great African-Sichuan Victory has long been sent to Lanzhou. From the governor's office to the common people, they are all overjoyed. Qin Mubai attacked twice and returned with two big wins. This time, tens of thousands of people are welcome to enter the city. Qin Mubai walked into Lanzhou on a vigorous and bowed his hand to the people along the way.

Looking at the nymphomaniac expressions of those young women and listening to their screams, he seemed to have the illusion of being a little "ten thousand fans" and felt better than before.

Princess Gaoyang has been idle for a few days, and she is so idle that she is dizzy. Hearing that Qin Mubai was coming back, she was happy for the first time. Originally, she wanted to be "romantic" to pick him up at Lanzhou City Gate. As soon as she saw this unprecedented scene, she was depressed. Especially when she saw that Qin Mubai smiled with a thin face in front of the group of nymphomaniac girls, her heart gave birth to an unknown karma fire, which led to the burning of the little universe.

So she moved a chair and sat in the yard to sleep in the sun. Looking at the sparse sycamore leaves above her head, a string of sentences popped out of her teeth: "The street is full of flowers and grass, and she also smiles at those vulgar three aunts and six aunts... Let's see how I deal with you later, hum!"

"Princess, what are you muttering about?"

"Bok water, boil water! Get ready to take a shower! - Wash that fellow to death!"
