Chapter 405 Unrelated, Lips and Teeth Cold

Outside Lanzhou City, the iron camp of 80,000 troops is busy boiling. Three days later, it will be the day of the army's expedition. It's time to pull out the camp and count the weights and make the final preparations.

Qin Mubai's boldness made Li Daozong's heart tense. He took away almost all the troops that could fight in Lanzhou, leaving only thousands of old and weak recruits to Li Daozong to " defend the city".

It's not so much to guard the city as to manage the local public security and assist Xiao Liang, the chief logistics chief, to escort food and fodder.

This time, Qin Mubai really made a lot of gambling money. He felt that if he was unfavorable in the front, leaving 20,000 more soldiers and less than 20,000 soldiers here in Lanzhou would have the same meaning. It's better to concentrate all the superior forces on the front line and let go of the battle against the garqinling.

Just like the arcanism of the "Taiji Qin Gun" that integrates Taijiquan and Qin Shubao's self-created shooting method, the long gun is as flexible as an arm door. When attacking, concentrate on one point, and the disease is as fierce as a tiger and wolf, in order to break the enemy!

Nowadays, there is still a shortage of grain and grass equipment. But Qin Mubai can't wait any longer. In fact, he didn't pay too much attention to the so-called "war contract" with the Chalqin Mausoleum. He was not tired of cheating. How could he be led by the other party? What he is worried about is that if he doesn't go to the main force of Dafeichuan to fight against the Chalqinling, in case the cunning guy suddenly turns around and increases the main force to attack the second pass of Yuyang, his throat will be in danger. Moreover, even if the garqinling does not use this brigade of strange soldiers, in case his army suppresses the border soldiers to attack Dafeichuan, with the strength of 40,000 soldiers and horses under the current Dafeichuan guard Xue Wanjun, it is tantalike to a mantis blocking the car.

Lanzhou has been preparing for this unrivaled battle for a long time, but it is still just a hurried grinding gun. The death of Qin Shubao was naturally a great misfortune for the Kansai army, but in a sense, it was a great blessing.

Hang the people to fight against the same hatred, this is the teacher of justice!

If it hadn't been for Qin Shubao's first to shed his blood and turn grief and hatred into murderousness, how could the army and people of Lanzhou be so united as they are now, and how could the morale of the Kansai army be as high as it is now?

In recent days, Qin Mubai has been relatively normal due to the company of small buildings and the need to control the overall situation. But no one can lie to himself. Every night in his sleep, his father's figure floated around. Sometimes when he woke up, Qin Shubao's words seemed to linger in his ears.

When he was in the governor's mansion and the army, Qin Mubai couldn't say all kinds of incomparable "great and upright" big words and cliché about the social nation ten thousand times, but only he knew that in his heart, how much he wanted to... capture the lives of garqinling, Yu Zhisheng and mud and die. They stepped on their feet and stabbed them one by one. With their dripping blood, desperate eyes and tragic calls, they pay tribute to the old father's undead in heaven!

Except for the legendary saints, mortals are selfish.

Qin Mubai knows that he will never reach his father's true heroic realm of "generous sacrifice of self-righteousness". If there is kindness, there must be revenge. It is his motto to be a real villain rather than a hypocrite!

......

In the newly planted wild pine forest outside Lanzhou, there is a small military village that is not too big, with a small number of mysterious troops stationed. Today, Qin Mubai stayed in this barracks all day.

It took another half a month of urgent training and hard training. The accuracy and cooperation proficiency of the Five Vulcans can basically meet the requirements of Qin Mubai!

Today, Qin Shi, a gunpowder expert in Tiegu, who is also the adopted son of Niu Wuzhi, an old miner in Xiangyang, was transferred to Juntun by a secret order from Qin Mubai. Along with it, there are also 50 "experts" specializing in the preparation of explosive gunpowder and musket ammunition. These people are integrated into the Five Hundred Vhuo shen and will go on an expedition with the army.

Two years ago, Qin Shi, a half-size son, grew up a lot. He was still taciturn and low-key, and he was submissive to Qin Mubai. But when it comes to doing business, it will change instantly, meticulous to harsh, attentive to abnormal, just like a "work maniac".

In addition, after coming to Lanzhou, Qin Mubai's own secret "military school" in Yifu also achieved results. Now, in addition to the 100 hundred riders he brought from Chang'an, the "cottage hundred riders" trained by Qinyifu finally implemented a quota of 200 people after strict training and elimination and actual combat screening.

In addition to the original 100 old riders and 300 people, they will form Qin Mubai's close guard in front of his tent. With these 300 people and 500 fire gods, Qin Mubai appointed one person to be their leader - the handsome flag envoy, with one arm.

Among these 800 people, Zhang Tong is definitely not the best. He can't even use the musket skillfully. But his mutilated arm has made 800 people respect him. More importantly, Qin Mubai's loyalty to him and his courage to have no doubt, that's enough.

Eight hundred people, all equipped with good horses and armor. Baiqi is the traditional Kirin apricot battle robe, and Vulcan is a veritable scarlet fire robe. Spontaneously, 800 people replaced the bright red hat of the bright helmet with snow-white carved bells to pay tribute to the dead coach Qin Shubao.

Therefore, Qin Mubai simply gave this special army an internal military name - the Snow Sculpture Army!

After dismantling the temporary small military camp, Qin Mubai led 800 snow sculptures back to Lanzhou and returned to the governor's camp, ready to go.

There are still many military, political and civilian affairs in the governor's office to be handed over. Therefore, Qin Mubai is very busy. Although he knows that there are still many people in Qiongyu Villa who are looking forward to him taking more time to accompany him, at this moment, he can only put aside his children's private affairs.

At dusk, the field army outside the city finished the training, and Hou Junji and Yuwen Hongtai returned to the governor one after another to report on military affairs. The assassin Xiao Liang and a group of other literati also gathered here. The governor's mansion was lit up early. It seemed that it was mostly a sleepless night.

Just when everyone was busy, the gatekeeper suddenly came to report that several spies of the Turkic Beiting were caught in the fleeing Han caravan! Under interrogation, the spies claimed that it was the messenger of Beiting Khan who sent Lanzhou to meet Qin Mubai, and he had very important affairs to negotiate!

The generals were furious as soon as they heard the four words "Beital Court of the Turks". Yuwen Hongtai was even more explosive. He pulled out his knife on the spot and rushed out without saying a word!

"Hight, what do you want to do?" Qin Mubai shouted in a low voice, and Yuwen Hongtai's feet were as if they had taken root on the ground.

Suddenly turning around, Yuwen Hongtai's eyes were as red as a god of murder. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young commander, the enemy is in front of you. Why did you stop me?"

Everyone looked at Qin Mubai, or confused or rubbed their hands. Anyway, no one could maintain emotional stability.

Qin Mubai stood up from the handsome chair and walked to the hall. He stood in front of Yuwen Hongtai, looked up slightly at the giant who was more than him, and said, "Hong Tai, can the hatred and grief indignation in your heart be better than me?"

"Then you still have it! ..." Yuwen Hongtai shouted three words, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. He stopped and turned his head with a muffled hum.

At this time, Li Daozong came out and said, "Hong Tai, everyone, the revenge of killing his father is not the same. The young commander wants revenge more than any of you. However, have you ever seen an enemy come to your door and let others behead for revenge?

"What the prince said..." Several people whispered.

"Besides, the war between the two countries is not over. If there is anger and resentment, you have to find them on the battlefield to liquidate. What's the ability is it to kill a messenger who comes to your door in this way?" Li Daozong added, "Don't look at what the Turkic barbarian said, and it's not too late to deal with it!"

"Huh! I can't tell you! You can do whatever you want!" Yuwen Hongtai retreated angrily, with his hands on his chest, and a pair of eyes stared at the big pillar in the hall, red and red.

Everyone also calmed down one after another. Qin Mubai didn't say much and asked people to come into the Turks.

Soon after, three Turkic envoys stepped in. In the early 40s of the Han Dynasty, Kong Wu's powerful eyes were bright, and he must also be a man of war. Behind him was a young man, a woman and two attendants dressed up as young men, both of whom were only in their twenties, but looked like Han people. The two attendants each held a large black cloth bag on their chest, which was heavy.

Although the generals present were persuaded by Li Daozong that they would not be angry for a while, the anger in everyone's hearts must be lingering for a while. As a result, the atmosphere at the scene was more tense and depressing, and the murderous atmosphere was overflowing.

After the three Turkic messengers came in, they did not dare to squint and dare to come out. They went straight to the hall and bent down and bowed. The first big man said, "I'm going to see the governor of Qin, Lanzhou, Tang Dynasty. I came here by the special order of my Khan, to present two precious items to the governor of Qin, and asked the governor of Qin to discuss some major state affairs.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two big black boxes. Qin Mubai's face was as heavy as water, his eyes were cold, and he said lightly, "What is it?"

"That's..." The messenger staddled and glanced around the people in the hall. Obviously, he was a little panicked.

Everyone has guessed seven or eight points in their hearts, and several generals have become restless.

"My father's handsome ashes?" Qin Mubai's voice was unexpectedly cold and calm.

"The governor of Qin is... the ashes of your father, Marshal Qin." The messenger bent down and bowed his head.

"What?"

Yuwen Hongtai rushed out with a thunderous roar, which scared the three Turkic envoys to shout.

"Presumptuous!" Qin Mubai shouted, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

"Come on, take the ashes." Qin Mubai said faintly.

The Turkic messenger Bi Le wiped a cold sweat on his forehead without concealment, stroked his chest and bent down and said, "The governor of Qin!" In these two urns, one is equipped with your father, Marshal Qin, and the other is equipped with General He Li. They are all great heroes who worship our family! I ordered to cast the statue of Your Majesty on the top of the Flame Mountain of Gaochang Kingdom..."

"Hight. My time is precious. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'll tell you something useful. Qin Mubai snorted in his nose and said, "You Khan sent you here. Isn't it so boring to send ashes? Say, what else?"

Bile's face turned blue and red for a while. He took out a piece of book from his arms and handed it out, and said, "Big Governor, this is the handwritten handwritten book of the marshal of our country. The book describes in detail the causes and consequences of Tubo forcing me to kill the old marshal in Beiting, Gaochang and other small countries. In addition, inform the governor of all the military plans of the garqinling against Lanzhou. Please be careful and don't take it..."

The sergeant who served left and right took the book and handed it to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai glanced at the cover of the envelope with his right hand and two fingers, and sneered at the corners of his mouth, "General? I've heard the name for a long time, like thunder. I didn't expect his Chinese characters to be so beautifully written.

"Uh-huh..." Bi Le looked up at Qin Mubai in astonishment, half shocked and half afraid.

Qin Mubai casually threw the letter on the table and said, "Please reply to your Khan and the marshal, and say that I, Qin Mubai, know their intentions and know what to do. Please rest assured that my father's handsome account will not be counted on them. I'm not so confused. Now, Lanzhou and the Turks have a common enemy, that is, Tubo, which is more powerful than us. The combination of the weak and the weak to resist the strong is our way of survival. If you can't figure out the truth in your country, I'll take a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to show them. After reading it, they will understand.

"The governor is wise!" Bile was a little overjoyed. He quickly bent down and stroked his chest and said, "It was the Khan and the Great Marshal of our country who understood the sinister intention of killing people with a knife and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight that they sent a detour thousands of miles to go to Lanzhou to meet the governor!" Now Tubo is almost a soldier to attack Yuyang Erguan and Dafeichuan. If they win, they are bound to attack the river and the horse will step on the Central Plains. At that time, we will have cold lips and teeth! The governor said that the sky was broken. At this moment, we are going to unite the weak to resist the strong and smash the wolf ambition of the Garqin Mausoleum!"

Everyone in the hall heard it, and their faces showed contempt and resentment. Büller's words are high-sounding, and it is obvious that he has already finished the manuscript. How to hear it, under the words of this group of officials, they can't hide a villain's face.

Qin Mubai smiled quietly and said, "I should have understood such a truth, and I don't know what your Khan and Grand Marshal have been doing."

"Well, this..." Biler worked hard with his eyes and had nothing to answer.

"That's all. There is no need to mention the past." Qin Mubai said, "Come on, please go to the hall to have a rest. You can't be neglected. When I fix the letter, I will reply to Khan and the Grand Marshal.

"Thank you, Governor!" Bi Le breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the handsome table in front of Qin Mubai. He couldn't help but wonder, "Big Governor, why don't you look at what the marshal said in the letter first? There is an important military plan for the Chalqin Mausoleum!"

"Hahaha!" The hall was full of laughter.

Bile was confused and embarrassed. He was so embarrassed that he had to retreat submissively and carefully.

As soon as Bieller and others left, there was a big quarrel in the hall!

"Is the Beiting barbarian so despicable! It's impossible to win our forgiveness and trust by betraying our accomplices!"

"Thinking of the carving skills of the Chalqin Mausoleum, how can you hide the old man and the young commander? Thanks to the mud, he thought he was very smart, and he came to the class to make an axe and offer advice! What a self-made villain!"

"That's right! - In any case, the old man is killed by the hands of mud! This blood debt will be paid by blood!"

"Clean up the Chalqin Mausoleum first, and sooner or later it will be the turn of the Turkic Barbarians! Stepping on Gaochang, blood wash Beiting!"

......

Listening to the impassioned and loud quarrel of the people in the hall, Qin Mubai sat quietly on the handsome chair and stared at the two black cloth urns in front of the table.

Silent, my heart is bleeding.

I don't know when, everyone calmed down and looked at Qin Mubai at the same time.

Qin Mubai was stunned and came to his senses. He cleared his throat and said, "At present, Garqinling sent his two brothers to attack the second pass of Yuyang, trying to break through the pass from there to face the attack and kill my back. If Beiting stood on the side of Tubo at this time, it would be quite unfavorable to me. At this time, it is best to win the anti-water trust of Beiting and the raid on the Tubo people behind their backs; if not, it is not a bad situation to let them stay still.

"I think it's feasible." Li Daozong said, "Since Beiting is used to being a villain, he doesn't care about betraying Tubo again at this time. After all, they can figure out that if Tubo defeats us in Helong and the Western Regions, the next one waiting to be flattened will be their Beiting. I think they should know that even if they are the subordinates of my state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, it is better than being enslaved by the Tubo barbarians. There is no alliance between the Turkic and Tubo, let alone affection. Both are good and warlike countries. As long as there are interests, they will do it.

"In the prince's opinion, what kind of benefits should I give them?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Mu Bai, you just said to Bi Le that you will not hold a grudge against Beiting, which is already the greatest benefit for them. In addition, you can also give them a little profit of gold, silver and silk, and ask Beiting to send troops to attack and kill Tubo. As for success or worse, as you said, it's a good situation to keep them still. Li Daozong sighed and said, "Speaking of the Records of the Three Kingdoms, this moment really reminds me of Liu Bei's attack on Wu. Guan Yu was careless and lost Jingzhou. Liu Bei ignored the advice of his loyal ministers and took up the army to fight against the State of Wu to avenge himself. The weak and the weak are weak with each other. As a result, the most powerful State of Wei finally swept Shu and Wu and unified the Three Kingdoms. Mu Bai, I don't have the habit of flattering people, but the decision you just made is really wise. We all know that at this moment, you are suppressing your emotions and not acting impulsively. This is really not easy... You have such a mind, vision and courage, which is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and Lanzhou!"

"Bullshit! Bullshit! It's all bullshit!!!" Suddenly, there were a few roars in the hall. Yuwen Hongtai roared and stamped his feet a few times, and ran away.

"This black man is becoming more and more presumptuous!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little annoyed and shouted, "Come on, go and look at him!" Don't let him mess with me!"

"No--"

Not long after, Qin Mubai had not yet sat back in the handsome chair. The guard who had just run out ran back in a hurry and reported that Yuwen Hongtai rushed out to catch up with the three messengers. He had not yet left the governor's mansion. Without saying a word, he beat Hu Lubile violently and was almost half dead!

The people in the hall wanted to laugh and didn't dare to laugh, and they were a little surprised. They were even more worried that Yuwen Hongtai, a man, would be guilty if he made trouble, so the atmosphere was quite strange.

Qin Mubai sat in a handsome chair and pressed his forehead with his hand. His face was as cold as frost, but he tried his best to laugh. He said in his heart: Kuroko did one thing this time. I really want to do something that is inconvenient to do... Good fight, good fight! If you kill my own father, do you still dare to come to the door to deliver the ashes, shirk responsibility, get close to relatives, and treat me as a fool with negative IQ and EQ? - The alliance boils down to the conclusion that this is a choice that there is no way for the time being; but the villain of the Beiting villain should fight! Bi Le bullied me and begged me even more!

"Come on, tie Yuwen Hongtai up! Military law serves you!"
