Chapter 411 for

Late at night, the Dafeichuan military camp, which had been twiring all day, gradually returned to peace. The whole army has a total of about 100,000 horses, and the camp has barriers to enter and exit households, and the order is strict with strict military regulations.

It has only been three days to come to Dafeichuan. Even Hou Junji, who has always been silent and lonely, has to publicly admit, "General, the soul of the army. Don't you say how well-decorated the camp is? Just when Qin Mubai came, the whole spirit of Dafeichuan was refreshed. This boy did get a little bit of Li Jing's true biography.

In the back of the handsome tent, Qin Mubai half lay on the military couch, holding a copy of the Jade Account Sutra in his hand. The sound of the copper pot dripping beside him came into his ears, and the candlelight swayed.

Above the niche, there are two large copper urns scattered high and down, with a spiritual card on each side, which is the ashes of Qin Shubao and the demon.

The curfew has been too loud, but Qin Mubai is sleepless today. In the past year or two, he has experienced a lot of storms and waves. Although not to mention that he has refined his heart to the realm of Mahayana, he is at least very calm.

But today, I feel a little upset.

There are some things, after all, you can deceive everyone and you can't deceive yourself.

In view of the war in front of him, Qin Mubai judged the situation. If he didn't use some "exordinary means", he was not even sure that he would win 30%.

However, what kind of "exordinary means" can come in handy?

I have 100,000 troops in hand, half of which are new soldiers who are recruited into the army only with the courage of blood. Such a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and it may be possible to create some miracles just by a blood and not afraid of death. However, this kind of army that lacks actual combat smelting is also the easiest to destroy thousands of miles away. |

In addition, what he is facing now is not a general person. The Chalqin Mausoleum is a famous general for a while, and he almost represents the power of Tubo.

Nearly 300,000 Kunlun iron riders. Among other things, 300,000 horses alone can kill half of the people in Dafeichuan alive.

It is almost impossible to punch the master to death with the courage of blood. If a miracle is so easy to happen, it is not a miracle.

"Bah!"

The Jade Book was thrown on the table by Qin Mubai and sounded abruptly.

With a sigh of breath, Qin Mubai walked to the two copper urns and lit two sticks of incense to toast.

"Father, you have a spirit in heaven. Can you tell Sanlang how to fight this battle?" Qin Mubai frowned and muttered to himself, "Half of the recruits of the 100,000 Tang army are short of soldiers, food and armor. In the face of 300,000 Tubo Kunlun iron riders, this situation is like a car. But I have to block this car. Knowing that he can't do it, is Sanlang stupid to the bone marrow, or has he been crazy for a long time?

Closing his eyes and staring, his mind naturally reflected the scene before the demon's death. I clearly remember that at that time, the demon who had been blind for several years suddenly could see it. On her deathbed, she said that if Qin Mubai met a stupid woman who could only play the pipa and could do anything in the next life, it would be her...

Listen to the wind in the Western Regions and smell the East China Sea...

"When Master Qingshan talks about the story of cobwebs, dewdrops and grass, I can still say that the onlooker is right... But a period when I really fall into the situation, I can't help it." Qin Mubai stroked the demon's urn and sighed, "It turns out that only when you lose it can you know what is to cherish!"

"Report--"

The pawn shouted, interrupting Qin Mubai's meditation.

"Tell me."

"The soldiers outside the village arrested three women who were suspected to be spies!"

"A spy or a woman? Is it a Tubo people?" Qin Mubai Dao.

"No... I asked him a little, but the visitor refused to give me his name. He just said that he was an old friend of the young commander. He came to visit because of something important! I don't dare to make up my determination, so I will report it.

Qin Mubai frowned and secretly said: Three women, my old friend? Could it be Wu Mei Niang, Chen Yan and Princess Gao Yang? - Impossible! How can my guards not know them? Besides, Princess Gaoyang may come here confusedly. Wu Mei Niang and Chen Yan will never do such a stupid thing. Besides, if Gao Yang came with two maidservant, how could she be polite with her personality? He must have broken into the camp to find me without any scruples.

Who would that be?

"Bring people. Be careful not to disturb too many people.

"No!"

Not long after, the pawn brought three women, dressed as night travelers, and the black high-collar poncho covered his head and face, which was quite mysterious. When the first woman came in and looked around, gently put down Doupeng and showed half of his face, Qin Mubai was shocked.

"Get out!" Qin Mubai shouted to the pawn, "There must be no one within three feet of the handsome tent!"

"No!" The pawn was also surprised. He didn't know why he made the young commander so nervous, so he hurriedly agreed to go out.

All three women took off their cloaks, and the weather was still slightly hot. All three of them were already sweaty and wet.

"I have met Your Highness the Princess." Qin Mubai endured his temper and came forward to worship, but he couldn't hide his anger in his eyes and took a fierce look at the two women behind him.

The person who came here turned out to be Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan!

The other two women who came with him are the only two female officers among the hundred riders, the Taitai sisters!

The tantai sisters were stared at by Qin Mubai. They suddenly panicked and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, "Young commander, forgive me!"

"Mubai, please calm your anger. Everything only blames me. I forced them to escort me all the way." Li Xueyan hurriedly stood between Qin Mubai and the two girls and whispered.

Qin Mubai snorted in his long nose, and he couldn't stop his anger!

He turned around and sat on the handsome chair, patting his hands heavily on the armrest of the chair, "How can I calm down my anger!!"

The Tai sisters trembled all over and knelt down with their heads close to the ground and dared not get up. Li Xueyan's face was also a little white. She had never seen Qin Mubai so angry in front of her!

"Your Highness, you didn't tell me that the court asked you to come, or the prince asked you to come, did you?" Qin Mubai said in a low voice with his eyebrows tightly.

"No." Li Xueyan was also calm. She squeezed her lips and looked directly at Qin Mubai and said, "I came here secretly by myself, and my father didn't know it. Before leaving, I only told my royal sister, Princess Gaoyang, and she sent the Taitai sisters to escort me all the way.

"Gao Yang is still so reckless and ignorant! It's not enough to fool around by yourself, and I'm still helping you fool around!" Qin Mubai was so angry that he patted again on the armrest.

"Mu Bai, don't be angry. I know that war is not a joke. This place is very dangerous, and I will add a lot of trouble to you. But how about listening to me and making a decision? Li Xueyan remained calm and whispered.

Qin Mubai pondered for a moment, reluctantly suppressed Yu's anger, glanced at the Tai sisters who were still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up! - Princess, please speak if you have something to say. After that, I will send someone to send you back to Lanzhou immediately, and I won't stay for a moment.

"If the young commander insists on sending me back to Lanzhou after listening to my words, then I will definitely have nothing to resist and have nothing to say." Li Xueyan said lightly.

Qin Mubai raised his eyelids and nodded: "Then ask the princess to sit down and talk about it slowly. First of all, I would like to state that the military camp is no better than anywhere else. The order here is unbearable. Even if the royal relatives come to the barracks, only the general must obey. If there is any offending, I hope the princess will forgive me.

"Mubai, you said so is to meet me..." Hearing these official words, Li Xueyan stared at Qin Mubai, feeling a little surprised and disappointed.

"Your Highness, unless he is in the barracks, Qin is a good talkative and easy-going person at any time. The responsibility is nothing else!" Qin Mubai said with a glance.

"Okay, I see..." Li Xueyan slowly sat down in the guest seat, gently locking her eyebrows and combing her emotions.

"What is the princess's intention to come to the front line of Dafeichuan?" Qin Mubai went straight into the road with a single knife.

"I want to see Abandoned Zong's praise, or the Chalqin Mausoleum." Li Xueyan replied.

"Impossible!" Qin Mubai said firmly, "If it's for this purpose, you can leave now."

"Mu Bai..." Li Xueyan frowned and whispered deeply.

Qin Mubai's face was unmoved like ice, shaking his head with a "no discussion" expression.

"Okay, Commander Qin!" Li Xueyan took a deep breath and said, "I know you think I'm very unreasonable now, and even hate me very much. But I would like to ask you to listen to my following words."

"I'm listening."

"In fact, I have always wanted to ask the young commander a question - what have you been insisting on for all these years and what you have done?" Li Xueyan asked.

"What...why?" Qin Mubai is a little confused.

"For example, in the battle in front of you, the strength of the enemy is so different, and your situation is so difficult, why do you have to face the difficulties without regrets? Originally, you can enjoy your son-in-law's life in Chang'an and live a carefree life. What are you for?" Li Xueyan said.

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and was speechless.

For what?

He has asked himself this question more than once. From the day he stepped into his career, he has been asking himself what his pursuit is and what is the purpose of doing everything... It seems that all his behaviors are always so involuntary, and he is often forced to move forward step by step by step by the situation, which is difficult and confused.

But after the bad news of his father, Qin Mubai really understood what he needed, what he was going to do, and what he was insisting on!

Two vulgar words - ideal!

For world peace and human progress?

Qin Mubai's ideals will never be so empty and "great and upright". His ideals are superficial and specific - it is to defeat the Karqin Mausoleum, flatten Tubo and sweep the Western Regions, and achieve his father's long-cherished wish and the regret of his father's life!

This is not only the ideal of the deceased Qin Shubao, but also the ideal of Qin Mubai, the son of Qin Shubao, who is still alive!

What are the names that are famous in history, loyal to the king to serve the country, shining linters, and praised by future generations, all of them are empty words!

Seeing that Qin Mubai didn't speak, Li Xueyan bit her lips and said, "Young commander, we can deceive anyone, but we can't deceive ourselves. Everyone has their own persistence and ideals. For this reason, we will pay any price. Your father, Lord Qin Shubao, is not only a model of hot-blooded men in the world, but also my idol of Li Xueyan. Just because he gave up his life for his ideals and retributions without complaint or regret. To put it vaguely, the young marshal has always been a good man in Xue Yan's heart and the object of my admiration. From the time your father passed away and you shouldered the heavy burden of Lanzhou, your status in my mind was even more unattended to surpass my father. The reason is nothing more than that the young commander dares to insist and pursue his ideals. Such a person is worthy of admiration!"

"What on earth does Her Royal Highness want to say?" Qin Mubai asked.

"The young commander should know that Xue Yan has always been not flattering and says what he thinks." Li Xueyan said, "In this world, only men are allowed to be talented, and women are not allowed to have aspirations?"

"The princess wants to say that your ideal is to marry Tubo far away to teach Hu Min, so as to resolve the war between the two countries?" Qin Mubai smiled a little coldly and had a few jokes.

Li Xueyan felt that her heart was tightened, as if she had been pierced by a cold sharp dagger.

"Young commander... Don't sneer at me." Li Xueyan took a deep breath and said, "It is often said that Taoist people have their own aspirations and cannot be forced. Xue Yan can respect your and your father's ambitions. Why does the young commander underestimate me so much?

"I didn't mean that." Qin Mubai said coldly and hard-heartedly, "I just want to remind the princess that people can have ideals, but they can't help but know the current affairs. Do you think there is still room and opportunity for your so-called ideals and ambitions in this situation?

"If you try, you may not succeed, but if you don't try, there will definitely be no chance!" Li Xueyan squeezed her lips tightly and frowned gently, and said word by word, "I won't give up!" Just like, the young commander will never withdraw from Dafeichuan!"

"Sorry! I won't withdraw because no one can stop it; but if you don't give up, it doesn't mean that no one can stop you. Qin Mubai turned his face and stopped looking at Princess Wencheng. He clapped his hands and said, "Come on!"

Then you have to prepare to take down Princess Wencheng and forcibly return to Lanzhou!

"Wait!" Suddenly, Princess Wencheng suddenly stood up, and the sleeve lighted up, and a dagger reached her neck!

"Ah--" This scene happened suddenly, and even the Tai sisters were surprised to be scared and screamed.

Qin Mubai's eyes widened in consternation. He saw the dagger lying between Li Xueyan's neck, as if he had cut blood marks, and a thin trace of blood stains slowly flowed down the blade.

"What are you doing?" Qin Mubai was still calm and said lightly.

"Young commander, I know that my hands have no power to bind chickens, and I can kill people invisibly without lips and tongues. But no one can stop me from killing myself, right?" Li Xueyan's always gentle and watery eyes have never been as firm as they are now, and even a little decisive.

"Yes." Qin Mubai said, "But does it make sense for you to do this?"

"Yes." Li Xueyan said firmly, "In the past and present, there have been many people who have been martyred, and there is no shortage of Xueyan."

"Your so-called 'Tao' is a crooked evil way, even if you don't die... Come here, slowly put down the knife, and say something."

"You stop!!" Li Xueyan suddenly scolded and tightened her hands again, and the blood stains between her neck deepened and blood flowed.

"Princess, be careful!" The Taitai sisters were all scared.

"Okay, you talk well... I won't come forward." Qin Mubai is also a little scrning. The woman in front of me has always been gentle and obedient, but I didn't expect her heart to be so stubborn and strong... Typical softness on the outside and strength on the inside! Once such a person is determined, he can really do anything.

"The young commander wants to say that the 'Tao' I insist on is a crooked and evil way, and I don't accept it." Li Xueyan said, "The young commander destroyed the village and killed people like hemp, but it was the right way; Xueyan just wanted to die fewer people in the world and fewer sad orphans and widows. How can this be a crooked evil way?"

Qin Mubai was dumb for a moment!

"Xue Yan has said more than once that in my eyes, whether they are Tang people or Tubo people, they are all creatures raised by their parents, and they all have parents, wives and children. Who is really willing to leave home and marry Tubo far away from their parents? My ideal is to hope that there will be fewer wars in the world, fewer people will die, and more people will bathe in civilization and enjoy peace. May I ask, where is Xueyan wrong? Li Xueyan stabbed across her neck, and her eyes looked directly at Qin Mubai and said.

"There is nothing wrong with your ideal." Qin Mubai cut his hands and turned around and said in a low voice, "But it's not suitable for now."

"I want to say that it's just right!" Li Xueyan insisted, "There are only three reasons why Tubo brazenly fought with the Tang Dynasty. The first is to compete for the hegemony of the Western Regions; the second is to take back Dafeichuan and avenge the previous defeat; the third is to excuse that the Tang Dynasty did not have the sincerity to give marriage.

"Since you know, why do you have to talk about it again?" Qin Mubai said, "The contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet is irreconcilable and must be solved through war. Giving marriage used to be an excuse, but now it's a painting cake.

"No, not necessarily so." Li Xueyan said, "The current situation is that after Gao Chang's defeat, the Tang Dynasty has withdrawn from the hegemony competition in the Western Regions. Isn't the young commander sitting on the wall to let Tubo and the Turks fight for both sides? In addition, Dafei Chuan is the territory of Tuyuhun, which neither belongs to Tubo nor to the Tang Dynasty. There is no reason for the two families to fight back and go. In this case, there is still the premise of peace. Why not return Da Feichuan to Tuyuhun for the time being, and Tubo and the Tang Dynasty should each strike? If it can be done, the matter of marriage can be mentioned again, and both of them can be stopped.

"You are so naive!" Qin Mubai shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, the military affairs are far from as simple as you think!"

"I know!" Li Xueyan still didn't put down the dagger and said, "But why don't you let me go to see the Abandoned Zong to praise or the Garqin Mausoleum once and tell them the rest of my words? - Even if it's a plan to slow down the army! Young commander, you must know better than me how fragile Lanzhou is at present! If this battle continues... How much do you really have a chance of winning?

"It's not necessary to slow down the army. It is impossible to succeed with such a strategy to deal with a hero like Qizong's praise and garqinling. Qin Mubai clenched his teeth and said, "At present, I only have the way to break the kettle and sink the boat. I don't need to mention anything else."

"Young commander, if you try, you may not succeed. If you don't try, you will definitely have a chance... Please think twice!" The dagger in Li Xueyan's hand sank two points, and a dazzling blood stain appeared on her pink neck.

"Young commander, you can promise the princess first! If you cut down two points, something big will happen!" The Taitai sisters were shocked.

"No! If he agrees, he will sincerely agree. Don't be perfunctory!"

"Even if I promise, it's the result of your threat. Why?" Qin Mubai frowned and said.

Li Xueyan lowered her eyebrows, closed her eyes, bit her lips, and whispered, "Sorry, Mu Bai... I don't want to be so capricious and unreasonable in front of you. It's like a sudden imperial edict asking you to withdraw troops, and you won't retreat... I remember you once said to Gaoyang Huangjie, 'If you are wild, I will accompany you'. Xueyan is brazen and willing to beg for you. Please allow me to be wild this time, just once, okay?"

"Young commander, please promise... This knife, knife! ..." The voices of the Tai sisters are about to change.

Qin Mubai turned around and shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This is the only time!"

"Xie Shaoshuai!"

Li Xueyan threw the dagger and knelt down to thank him. The Tai sisters hurried forward to help each other.

"Please go down and have a rest, take good care of yourself... I need to carefully arrange the meeting with the enemy chief to ensure that it can be carried out. The princess can no longer urge or threaten me." Qin Mubai turned his back to Princess Wencheng and said.

"Well... Xue Yan knows the current affairs. At the same time, I also believe in the young commander. He is a person who will never break his word.

"Princess, please..." Qin Mubai breathed a long sigh of helplessness.

Li Xueyan and the Taitai sisters have left, and there is still a trace of red blood in the room, which is still dazzling.

"What evil am I doing?" Qin Mubai shook his head with distress on his forehead and said to himself, "Li Xueyan, are you really doing this just for... world peace and human happiness? Ideal? You can actually talk to me about your ideals. I've already quit!"

"I have to find a way to send this thorn back to Lanzhou. Now she is more troublesome than ten Gaoyang combined! - The two armies have to fight desperately and what kind of performance art is it? Isn't it troublesome!"
