Chapter 382 A tiger is not as good as a wolf
Qin Mubai chatted with Li Daozong for a while, and suddenly heard a melodious pipa sound from a small attic not far away in the night sky, and a female voice was singing.
Ethety and gentle, like a nightingale.
"When is the bright moon, ask the blue sky for wine
"I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is this evening..."
Qin Mubai couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Isn't this the song "When Will It Be Tomorrow" sung by Wang Fei?
Li Xueyan?
Li Daozong stroked his head with a smile and licked the young child. He said, "Yan'er never drinks alcohol. She drank a little today. She probably didn't drink yet. She sang in the middle of the night."
"You sing so well." Qin Mubai sincerely praised.
Li Xueyan's voice is as crisp and gentle as the sound of nature. If it were a thousand years later, it would be the voice of a natural powerful singer. Coupled with this good pipa, anyone can't help but admire it.
Listening to her play and sing is for a kind of enjoyment.
Qin Mubai listened for a moment and suddenly sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel that we are really bastards."
"Oh, what do you say?" Li Daozong asked in surprise.
"What we think about is all about the situation, the overall situation and interests, but sometimes we forget some shame and dignity." Qin Mubai said, "I didn't hear what I said, and I overturned a boat with a bucket, but I really can't spit it out."
"I know what you mean." Li Daozong nodded with a disapproving smile and said, "You think we can achieve the so-called great thing by sending out the wild geese in exchange for a fighter or peace, right?"
"Uh-huh..." Qin Mubai nodded.
Li Daozong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled a little defamy. Suddenly, he said, "What, you can't bear it?"
"Uh..." Qin Mubai was stunned and said with a smile, "Where did the prince go? The prince is very clear about Qin's usual claim. Whenever and wherever, I am against and kin. Even if there are all kinds of advantages and disadvantages, I would rather die in the battlefield than send out our women in exchange for my own comfort. This is more uncomfortable for me than death.
"Oh, you!" Li Daozong shook his head with a bitter smile, stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said with some emotion and sadness, "You are the same as when I was young, hot-blooded, heroic, and dare to carry the domineering, or silly. In fact, who is willing to marry, is your majesty willing? ...Sometimes, the state game and the battlefield competition are just like doing business. Everyone wants to pay the least capital and earn more benefits. Sending out a wild goose may mean that tens of thousands of people will die... Interests, in the face of interests, feelings are always fragile.
Qin Mubai's eyebrows gradually twisted, stared at the small sculpture building not far under the moonlight, and said to himself, "How can the interests of the world be chased? The essence that distinguishes people from vegetation lies in their feelings... I admit that sending the princess is an extremely cost-effective deal for the Tang Dynasty, but so far, don't say that she is the prince's daughter. Even if she is a person who has nothing to do with me, I can't get through my own.
"No one is more reluctant to part with the wild geese than me." Li Daozong whispered, "Mu Bai, you shoulder heavy responsibilities and put the overall situation first."
"Don't worry, my lord, I understand." Qin Mubai took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. He frowned and said, "I will do my duty. If there is a choice, my attitude and position will be quite clear!"
"The court sent Liu Shanyin, the young minister of Hongyu Temple, to come with me and sent him to Tubo to negotiate state affairs to discuss and give marriage." Li Daozong said, "Tomorrow, let him take a call and then he can leave. The military situation is like fire. As soon as possible, many people may die less.
"Do your best and listen to fate." Qin Mubai replied, "Let Liu Shanyin go for a run first!"
Li Daozong's heart was blocked. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
He clearly saw that Qin Mubai was deeply disgusted with the matter of "giving marriage". If Liu Shan's trip is a little unsatisfactory, he will definitely turn against Tubo in an instant and kill him to death.
"After all, I'm still young..." Li Daozong sighed to himself and thought, "When I was as young as you, I also had a happy heart. Now, it has become so snobbish and realistic. For many years rolling in the world, the sharpness has been sharpened and the blood has been restrained... What else do I have left besides worldly wisdom and smoothness? Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai, I really envy you! ...Don't be frivolous when you are young. You once said this sentence. Unfortunately, I seem to be really old."
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and Qin Mubai is ready to resign and go back. It's enough for Wu Mei Niang to stay alone in the empty room for one night. Is it possible to let her stay for two nights?
Today, she really went to the market and bought a full set of bedding!
Just as Qin Mubai was about to leave, there was a loud noise in the backyard of the governor's mansion, which was only a wall away, as if there was a loud noise, as if there were still shouting and beatings.
Qin Mubai suddenly got up in awe: "It's a mess! What happened in the army in the middle of the night?
"Is it Ying Xiao?" Li Daozong, who led the army on an expedition, was extremely vigilant and raised his hand decisively, "Let's go and have a look!"
The two of them quickly went out and ran to the military camp of the governor's office. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion, he bumped into a general and panicked, "Young commander, you're here. The last general is waiting to find you!"
"What's the matter?" Qin Mubai asked harshly.
"That Hou Junji!" The general said angrily and anxiously, "In my spare time, I broke into the barracks and provoked our brothers. Now it's a mess!"
"Hou Junji?" Since it was not Ying Xiao, Qin Mubai's anxiety and anger suddenly subsided. He looked at the general in astonishment and asked, "What did he do?"
"He seemed to have drunk too much. He broke into the army for no reason. When he saw people, he scolded and beat them." General Kite replied, "Brothers all know that he has also heard the instructions of the young commander, and he is not as knowledgeable as him. But the more he scolded, the more unpleasant he became, the more energetic he became. Several people couldn't hold it down and had sex with him... As a result, the whole camp was shaken, and it became chaotic in the middle of the night.
"How can this be reasonable? This Hou Junji is so unreasonable!" Li Daozong said angrily when he heard the words, "How can he be messed around in the military camp?"
"The prince is angry. Hou Junji should have his reason for doing this." Instead, Qin Mubai was not angry and said with a smile, "As long as it's not Ying Xiao. Let's go, let's see what's going on!"
Entering the barracks, Qin Mubai and others saw a large group of soldiers gathered together in a circle, raised some torches, and cleared a piece of land.
Among them, a man sat on the ground lazily with a wine juttle in one hand, saying--
"Who else wants to come and fight with me? Stand up! ...What kind of soldiers are you? Can't such a large group of people kill me? What are you afraid of?"
Obviously, that is Hou Junji.
Most of the sergeants in a circle glared at Hou Junji and wanted to swallow him alive. Several of them were bruised and swollen or had a bloody mouth and nose. Obviously, they had been beaten.
The general whispered to Qin Mubai, "Hou Junji's men have something to do. They have overturned several of our brothers alone. If it hadn't been for the military order and love, the brothers would have torn him up. But he is still barking here!"
Qin Mubai waved his hand and motioned him to shut up. He stood in the dark and was not in a hurry to show up. Let's see what Hou Junji wanted to do.
Hou Junji sneered while drinking wine and said, "Are you the soldiers brought out by Qin Mubai? Haha! Why doesn't he go to Hongwenguan and Taiyuan College to choose some bachelors who are full of poetry and books? Isn't that more appropriate? Look at all of you who grit your teeth with hatred and half of them come forward to treat me. Do you still have any blood, are you guys? Come on, pull out your swords and kill me! - greet here!"
He patted his chest hard and blushed. Obviously, he was drunk.
Several soldiers couldn't help rushing out, but they were pulled by the brothers around them.
"This man can't be killed! The young commander has instructions!"
"Futam! I just killed him for his life, and I can't stand it anymore!"
"Kill! Kill him!"
Hou Junji suddenly stood up, raised his head and laughed loudly, "Come on! Come on! - Kill me quickly!"
That situation is like a roaring moon wolf.
Li Daozong squinted at him, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Hou Junji started from the army when he was young. He was full of fierce blood. He has been crawling and rolling in the six departments above the court for many years, but he still hasn't worn it. This is not only his greatest illness, but also his greatest strength.
"I feel the same way." Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and said, "If he doesn't have this bandit spirit and blood, he will no longer be Hou Junji. What on earth is he going to do today? Even if he is drunk, he has no reason to go to the barracks to make trouble, right? It's so strange!"
"Don't you know when you ask him? Don't let him go on."
"It's good."
The two were about to walk over when Hou Junji suddenly dropped the wine pot in his hand to the ground, and the fragments cracked. He shouted, "You all go home!" Don't follow Qin Mubai to fight to death! - I'm going to kiss and send the women to Tubo Zanpu. What else do you soldiers want? What's more, it's still a group of soldiers!"
"Hou Junji, why don't you shut up!" Li Daozong got angry. He broke the soldiers and rushed in. He pointed to Hou Junji and shouted, "What are you doing here when you are drunk? If others don't dare to kill people, I will treat you like grass!"
"Yo, drink!" Hou Junji looked sideways at Li Daozong, with drunken eyes like a smile, and hummed, "Finally, a person with courage and momentum came. Who am I? It turned out to be the King of Jiangxia!" Disrespectful, disrespectful, haha!"
At this time, the corporals stood in awe and bowed to Li Daozong. Those sergeants who were beaten shrank and hid behind and did not dare to show their heads.
"It's tied up and thrown into the Zhongjun tent." Qin Mubai said coldly.
Several sergeants rushed forward, relieved their hatred and pressed Hou Junji to the ground, and tied him up.
Hou Junji didn't say a word and let them bind them like a dead man. Then he carried it and threw it into the Chinese army tent, and almost fell to the ground and the bone shelf was scattered.
After rejecting the crowd, Qin Mubai and Li Daozong entered the military tent and stood beside Hou Junji.
Hou Junji looked up at the two people and sneered.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Mubai asked calmly, not a trace of anger, and no affection.
"I laugh at Li Daozong's obscene and despicable failure to live up to the name of a hero; I laugh at Qin Sanlang's great talent and lack of talent, and his appearance will eventually achieve nothing; I laugh that Uncle Qin's life is not long and died, and I laugh that Lanzhou Helong will eventually fall into the hands of others!"
Qin Mubai and Li Daozong looked at each other with thousands of looks.
"Miso", Qin Mubai pulled out a knife around his waist.
"Come on, wipe it here, it's the best!" Hou Junji stretched out his neck and smiled, "Do it quickly and let the old man try your knife!"
"Hum..."
With a knife, it's like a dragon.
The rope on Hou Junji's body was scattered.
"Get up. If it's not a turtle, don't always lie on the ground." Qin Mubai sneered and walked to the outside of the tent and said, "Come on, prepare some wine and vegetables."
"No!"
Ying Nuo, the pawn outside, was confused and left.
Hou Junji curled his lips and got up, patted the dust on his body, and sat down openly. He looked at Qin Mubai and Li Daozong unscrupulously and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Drink!" Qin Mubai clapped his hands and said, "You are not afraid of death, but also afraid of drinking?"
"Drink and drink!" Hou Junji snorted, "A man's life is nothing more than wine and wealth. Wine still ranks first, and he has always been Hou's favorite. In the past, when I was an official, I was bound to the officialdom, which didn't work. On the contrary, it's better now. As a free and reckless prisoner, he can do whatever he wants.
"Hou Junji, tell me, why did you do this today?" Li Daozong said patiently, "You don't have to pretend in front of us. You're pretending to be confused, I really understand. You are a fierce person, and we are all straightforward. There is no need to detour.
"Okay, I said." Hou Junji blushed with the breath of alcohol, but his eyes were very bright. He pointed to Qin Mubai and said, "You should know a man's ability and roots. Everyone has his own methods. Most of the people in the world pay attention to family background, teachers, or official titles and resumes. I, Hou Junji, never watch it."
"What are you looking at?" Li Daozong asked with a smile.
"Look at the woman beside him and his siblings." Hou Junji said very seriously. He said, "The better a man, the more women he will have. What kind of friends and siblings around that man depends on his roots and bones that determine his confidence."
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing. Is this a similar opinion of heroes? In the past, I once said that "the better the male, the better the female."
"What do you think, Qin?"
Hou Junji shook his head and curled his lips and said, "All I can say is that you are lucky. Other than that, you are almost useless."
"What do you say?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.
Even Li Daozong shook his head and smiled, "What a reckless!"
Hou Junjiquan took Li Daozong's words as a wind in his ear, burped and said, "Princess Gaoyang, Wu Mei Niang, any woman like this is worthy of the top man in the world. But you have two. But this is not how capable and capable you are, but that you are lucky. In other words, if you are a woman, you will hook up and coax.
"Where do you see that Qin Mubai is incompetence?" Li Daozong asked with a smile.
"The soldiers he led." Hou Junji turned his head and looked at Li Daozong and said, "A army, his spirit depends on the generals. Qin Mubai's soldiers are submissive and fearful, without blood and domineering. Yes, they quite abide by the military discipline and rules, just like Li Jing's soldiers. Qin Mubai, mostly, also passed on Li Jing's routine. The rules in the army are the first, and the soldiers can't help but have their own personality and courage. Everyone in the generals is polished to lose their temper. Such soldiers are only suitable for guarding the imperial city and guarding in the capital, and can't go to the battlefield. Going up is to die, especially in places like Helong Western Regions. They are like a flock of sheep.
Li Daozong smiled and was just about to say that this Yifu soldiers and horses had just been summoned from the 16th Guards and had not been trained yet, and it was just a plate of scattered sand. Qin Mubai stopped him first with a look and said to Hou Junji, "In your opinion, what kind of general and what kind of soldiers can gallop in a place like Helong in the Western Regions?"
"The wolves!" Hou Junji spit out these two words heavily and made a sound.
"What is a pack of wolves?"
"It's a pack of wolves! Good tigers are no match for the wolves of wolves!" Hou Junji shouted, "There is wildness, blood, arrogant and unruly and full of murderous spirit. He turns to fight thousands of miles to get food from the enemy, and fights with the enemy, no matter whether it is strong or weak! - Only such an army can make a difference in the Western Regions!"
"That's right." Qin Mubai said lightly, "In your opinion, I, Qin, and my father and even all the generals under his command, can't find such an army of wolves?"
"No." Hou Junji shook his head without hesitation and said, "Qin Shubao, the tiger general of the world, but he is not a wolf general. He is domineering, and the tiger and dragon are majestic. He destroys the city and pulls up the fortress like a fierce tiger. But he is not cruel enough, not poisonous enough, not wild enough, not naughty enough, and more importantly, he is too tall and arrogant, and has never disdained the way of 'not tired of cheating'. In the face of the complex situation in the Western Regions and the capricious and vicious barbarians, one day he will suffer a lot because of his character. As for you, Qin Mubai... Wen Tao has a lack of martial arts, and you know it better than me. There are also Xue Wanche brothers and Qi He Li. At most, they are Xiong Yi under the command of a fierce tiger. They wave the flag and shout to guard the city and farm. At most, they can only do these things. Xue Rengui is expected to be Qin Shubao's second, but not now. The rest of the people, thousands of miles under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Lanzhou, are no longer worth my look.
After listening to this, Li Daozong couldn't help sneering and said, "Hou Junji, you have some ability, but you are too arrogant and lonely. The heroes in the world are just grass mustard in your eyes. You want to say that a tiger is not as good as a wolf, right?"
Hou Junji was tit-for-tat, hit the table in front of him with his finger joints, and shouted, "In places such as Helong Western Regions, it is better to be cunning than a tiger! Hou's words are here today. Let's wait and see another day!"
"Tiger general, wolf general... Hegemony is not as cunning, tiger is not as good as wolf!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, and said to himself with deep eyebrows, "Hou Junji, this is to the point! ...Li Daozong is right. He pretends to be confused and really understands that he is wise and stupid!"
