Chapter 393 Kansai Railway Army

In the collapse of Mount Tai, even if the face can not change color, most of them are already unintentional.

It can only be said that although Li Xueyan's courage is commendable, this olive branch is not the right time. At this moment, Qin Mubai's mind is full of his father, war and Kar Qinling. Even Wu Mei Niang and Princess Gao Yang have temporarily retreated to the second line. It is really difficult to find another place to accommodate Li Xueyan.

Li Xueyan left quietly, and Qin Mubai didn't sleep all night.

The general strategic route and specific tactical arrangements already have a general prototype in his mind. Now, the biggest variable is the soldiers and horses that are held in the first line of Gaochang, Puchanghai and Yuyang. There, most of the main elite divisions of Lanzhou were gathered.

Nowadays, from the perspective of general strategy, the focus is of course the competition between Dafeichuan and Golmud. But in fact, the main force of Lanzhou, which is constrained and divided, is the key to the war situation.

Qin Mubai feels that the biggest sadness at this moment is that the success or failure of his father's family is unpredictable. If I had known this, why did I go back to Chang'an and become a bird friend? As a result, I got into a lot of trouble in Chang'an, and Lanzhou also fell into a rather passive trap.

This can't blame the emperor or Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai himself. No one would have thought that the trap of garqinling would go on like this. As shrewd and old, such as Li Shimin and Li Jing, they may not have seen through this trap and the stakes now. Otherwise, when they were in Chang'an, the two old military gods would definitely be wary and prepared.

In this way, the Chalqin Mausoleum is really a person! The depth of his city, the cruelty of his mind, and the good view of the overall situation are really rare.

"He is indeed better than me!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath and spit it out sullenly. He admitted this fact reluctantly, but thought, "But it's more interesting to defeat an opponent who is stronger than me, isn't it?"

At dawn, the governor's office gathered together. Qin Mubai issued a general order, and Lanzhou's military parade was about martial arts. And from now on, it will enter a state of emergency preparedness.

Lanzhou, where the people are fierce and the military style is prevalent, has not become panicked because of "war preparedness". Except for some merchants who quickly withdrew and left the state city, other local soldiers and civilians were all excited. Although most of them still don't know what the situation is and what kind of war they want to fight, it is already a national automatic mobilization, and everyone is actively preparing for the war.

Lanzhou is a military town with a long history. People are used to war, just as the people in the Central Plains are used to peace. Moreover, since the father and son of the Qin family came here two or three years ago, people's hearts have been completely twisted into a rope. With the order of the governor's office, the morale of the soldiers and civilians must be excited!

"Big Governor, recruit! With just a wave of your arm, Lanzhou can get tens of thousands of strong knights in an instant!" At the end of Hou Junji, more than half of the generals came to persuade him, "The Longyou Magistrate has ten thousand good horses. The strong Hu rider in Hexi is born to be an excellent cavalry. Gather up and train a little, and then you can go to fight and kill the enemy!"

"No worries." Qin Mubai was calmer and indifferent than they thought. He responded, "Now the money and grain are not enough, and I can't feed or arm my people."

"Why don't the governor ask the court for such a thing? I'm going to fight to kill the enemy, not cooking!" I don't know who poked out this sentence.

Qin Mubai glanced at the general and did not respond. The general lost his words and retreated obediently and dared not say anything more.

Hou Junji smiled coldly and said in an urn, "We have polished our knives and guns here and washed our necks and are ready to rush into battle to fight against people. Some birds in the court may still aim at us with crossbows behind. Do you want money, food and armor? You are so naive!"

"Hung up! If you dare to confuse the hearts of our army again, the military law will be engaged!" Qin Mubai shouted, and Hou Junji curled his lips with a sneer, and stopped talking.

"I will order that from now on, the whole army will be equipped with armor, load grain and grass, practice every day, and be ready to go out at any time! Except for part of my Qinxun's Yifu Yueqi, the rest of the soldiers and horses will be transferred to Hou Junji together! Ten beheads and twenty-four military regulations shall be strictly implemented in accordance with wartime standards! Assassin's Xiao Liang, the governor's logistics supply and people's livelihood comfort. During the war, no military-civilian conflicts and disturbances should occur. The city's prevention and control will double the vigilance!"

"No!" The generals took orders together.

"Report--"

At that time, the officials came to report that the people of many states and counties under the governor's government of Lanzhou spontaneously selected more than a dozen representatives of industrial and commercial agriculture and animal husbandry to meet the governor, specially to donate a large number of money, food, clothing and other things that the people spontaneously raised, and were willing to ask the governor to accept it.

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and said, "Take it all, just think of it as borrowed villagers!" But it must be registered in detail, and the governor's office will reimburse it after the war!"

In the hearts of the generals, they were both gratified and annoyed. The relationship between the military and the people of Lanzhou has always been excellent. The Tang Dynasty Wangshi has an excellent "mass foundation" here. It is not an exaggeration to say that the military and civilians are fish and water. This is a place for them to be gratified. What is annoyed is that... In the past year, the court has only given tens of thousands of food and fodder that is not enough for Lanzhou to plug their teeth, facing a crisis. At that time, you have to ask the people for money and food. If it hadn't been for the rapid development of industrial and commercial agriculture and animal husbandry in Lanzhou, it would have been difficult to catch up now!

"Our Tang Dynasty has the wealth of the world in Kyushu, and the warehouse is full of songs and dances. The grain stored in Taicang alone is enough for hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty to eat for 30 years! Why are you so stingy with our Lanzhou army? It's really annoying!" Many people complain about it.

"If you dare to talk more, the military stick will serve you!" Qin Mubai shouted angrily, "The battle is coming, do you still have the mind to think about such trivial things? It's time to think about how to kill more enemy chiefs! - It seems that you are waiting for such a short-sighted chicken intestine, which really loses the demeanor of my Kansai Railway Army!"

The generals suddenly looked ashamed and didn't dare to say anything.

Hou Junji glanced at the generals present and said, "The young commander taught me a lesson. Even if someone points behind our backs and even plots tricks, we don't have to pay attention to it! - Have you ever seen the lion and tiger catch the chrys in the grass? Although that man is extremely noisy and annoying! It is said that in his position, we are responsible for leading the army and only carry out the military order to charge into battle. The young commander has his own opinion on the rest of the matter. I believe that even if the young commander smashes the pot and sells iron, he will certainly not let his brothers fight with hunger. This time, even if we fight until the last drop of blood, we will fight out the backbone and prestige of the Kansai Iron Army and show it to the world!"

"Okay! General Hou said it well!" The generals immediately encouraged their ambition, and several elders roared loudly, "Yes! Play the backbone and prestige of our Kansai Railway Army! Let the people in the world see it, and it will also slap those insidious birds in the face!"

Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled. Hou Junji has led the army for many years. He united the army to boost morale. This is his specialty. A few words made these fighting men's blood boil, and he naturally integrated into this team. However, looking at the current situation, the soldiers in Lanzhou were more or less aware of some contradictions between Lanzhou and the court. Otherwise, these generals would not be so amazed and slapped "some insidious birds".

It's hard to get angry. Qin Mubai doesn't want to be strong. Let them know that it's definitely a bad thing at all. At least everyone has a mental number.

After the military parade, Qin Mubai went back to Qiongyu Villa. First, he slept alone to make up for a good sleep, and then called Wu Mei Niang and asked him straight for money and food.

Wu Mei Niang's expression and eyes are difficult to hide. But after all, she smiled and nodded, "I'll try my best!"

"With your eight words, I'm relieved." Qin Mubai held her hand and patted it gently. He smiled and said, "I know that you have been very busy recently. You have been operating the newly developed Qiongyu Villa. Most of the money you finally earned has been sent to Tiegu. Now, Tiegu can slow down a little, mainly to support my army!"

"I understand." Wu Mei Niang nodded gently and said, "I have just prepared sixty-four letters to inform all the caravans I sent and the branches of the commercial banks of each state and county, and order them to ship any copper plate and grain that can be saved to Lanzhou from now on. We ourselves, as long as the food can wrap the abdomen, the clothes can cover the body, and the business does not close down!"

"Thank you..." Qin Mubai said with a long sigh.

"Why do you have to say thank you? Isn't it superfluous?" Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "I've never said thank you."

"Oh--" Princess Gaoyang beside her was unhappy and snorted, "You two actually flirted in front of me. Do you think I don't exist? - Mu Bai, you're going to do a big thing, why don't you have anything to do with me? You are too biased and look down on people!"

"It's not so competitive to compete for favor, is it?" The two laughed together. Qin Mubai said, "What I need most now is money and food. What can you do for me?"

"It's not easy. I'll ask my father for it for you!" Princess Gaoyang replied without thinking.

"Don't make trouble!" Qin Mubai immediately interrupted her and said, "If you can take it, I can't?"

"..." Princess Gaoyang was stunned, blinked a few times, nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right. If you could get it, you would have wanted it long ago. Why is it my turn? ...Mubai, what's going on? Father, there is no reason to treat you like this! He has always trusted and supported you very much!"

"It's hard to say. I don't blame your father." Qin Mubai said, "Let's not discuss it now. From today on, I will be very busy. Maybe I won't have much time to come here. Linger, Mei Niang, you should go out as little as possible and stay in the villa and take care of yourself.

"Hmm..." The two women answered together.

Princess Gaoyang curled her lips, looked a little unhappy, and hummed, "I've been in Lanzhou for a long time. You can count the days with me. Mu Bai, when are you not so busy?

"After cleaning up the garqinling, I won't be so busy." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Huh, who believes you..." Princess Gaoyang's mouth raised and hummed, "You are always so busy with your big things! When you finish packing up, there will always be endless cows, ghosts and snakes | gods keep swaying in front of your eyes. How long are you going to 'clean up'? Don't forget that you are not only a minister, a general, but also a son, a husband and a father!"

"Father?" Qin Mubai and Wu Mei Niang asked confusedly.

Princess Gaoyang was stunned and said hurriedly, "Isn't it... won't we have children in the future?"

"Ling'er, are you pregnant?" Qin Mubai asked while subconsciously looking at her stomach.

Princess Gaoyang hurriedly covered her stomach, and her face turned a little red: "No, no!"

"The last time you left Chang'an, you told me that you might be pregnant. Now, do you have the same illusion as before?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

"Idelusion! ...It's just an illusion!" Princess Gaoyang was embarrassed and shouted with a red face, "Don't ask! - Mei Niang, don't laugh! You have done more bad things than me! You're not pregnant, how can I have it!"

"..." Qin Mubai was speechless and funny, and said, "Don't argue. I've been too busy recently, and I'm not lucky - wait, you will all give me ten and eight children! My old Qin family is counting on you two strong ethnic groups to spread out!"

The two women were ashamed and annoyed. They stared neatly as if they had discussed, and scolded, "If you are a pig, we are not!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, kissed her two faces, and said, "I'm very sorry, ladies. I have to go back to the governor's office soon. If you have free time in the evening, come back to accompany you!"

"Go ahead, go ahead, don't be wild here!" Wu Mei Niang shook her head and smiled.

"If you can't come, I will send someone to tie you up alive and carry you to Qiongyu Villa!" Princess Gaoyang said with hatred, "No matter how much you have millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, I don't pay attention to them!"

"Well, you're awesome! You are more awesome than the ancient famous general who took the head of the general in the millions of troops!" Qin Mubai walked with a smile and said, "Don't accompany me, two precious ladies!"

"This guy..." After Qin Mubai left, Wu Mei Niang and Princess Gao Yang looked at each other warmly and helplessly, and couldn't help shaking their heads.

"Princess, your mouth will be tighter in the future. You almost spilled the beans just now." Wu Mei Niang whispered, "What a fine person Mu Bai is. If it hadn't been for his mind not here just now, he would have noticed something strange!"

"Oh... It's my negligence. Be sure to pay attention to it in the future!" Princess Nuo Nuo of Gaoyang nodded.

"Oh, this is really difficult for us! After all, it is also Mu Bai's bone and blood, and it is also you and my relatives!" Wu Mei Niang shook her head and sighed.

Gao Yang Gong advocated gnashing his teeth and clenching his teeth, "It's all to blame Mu Bai! I'm full of romantic debts!"

Wu Mei Niang shook her head and smiled, and was silent.

A few days later, thousands of miles away, the Jade Gate is closed.

Looking at the Xiongguan not far away, the banner was in order, and a group of Tang cavalry came to meet him from afar. Su Dingfang breathed a long breath. Looking at the soldiers behind them, they are exhausted to the extreme. It has been galloping day and night for several days, and each person is equipped with three horses to take turns. Now these horses have all lost a circle of weight, and the soldiers have lost their shape.

"General Su, we finally arrived early! It seems that there is no mistake in the Yumen Pass!" The deputy general behind him gasped with relief, as if he was a little short of breath.

"Luckin! Otherwise, I can't go back to the young commander and the soldiers and civilians in Lanzhou!" Su Dingfang took a breath and shouted like thunder, "It is said that I will order you to quickly enter the Yumen Gate to take over the city defense!" If you don't take off your armor, you won't get off your saddle. Prepare for war at any time!"

"No!"

"Quick transmission of the young commander's general to General Puchang Hai Xue's place! From now on, Yuyang Erguan and Puchanghai will go back and forth to rescue each other, and an inch of land will be killed when the enemy is met! Our army is stationed at the second pass, and it can't be lost for a moment! Otherwise, all the bones will be buried here, and there is no need to go back!"

"No--"

The sound shakes the sky, and the clouds run away!
