Chapter 416 Strange Plan

The Tang army withdrew and went straight back to Dafeichuan. Qin Mubai issued an order, and the generals and soldiers returned to their battalions and were on strict alert to return to normal.

But the soldiers in the camp are more or less emotionally fluctuating. Some are like Yuwen Hongtai's, and some are a little depressed and chagrined after being teased, especially those newcomers who are full of energy to kill fiercely, but they walked empty-handed and returned to being ridiculed and teased by the enemy, so most of them were a little unsed.

Qin Mubai knew in his heart that he had not yet started the war, and he lost to the chess game of garqinling. I have to admit that, after all, the Chalqin Mausoleum is experienced and tricky, and he always pays attention to taking the initiative. Now, whether you fight or not, everything is in the thought of the Chalqin Mausoleum. This is really too much for Tang Jun.

The whole camp seemed to be a little restless, but the only two people did not move, which was Qin Mubai and Hou Junji.

At the beginning of his entry into martial arts, one of the words that Qin Mubai heard the most from his father and Li Jing was "the wind of generals" - calm in the face of danger!

Now, although he doesn't say that he has cultivated this kung fu to the extreme, the small situation in front of him is not enough to move him. On the contrary, Hou Junji, from the expedition to the return, his expression has not changed. He is a little bad, like a dead man. It seems to him that it is a common thing for him to rush into battle and even kill people.

From this point of view, Xue Wanjun is far inferior to him.

So after returning to the camp, Qin Mubai only invited Hou Junji to enter the account for a secret discussion.

"Why, you can't calm down when you are led around the nose?" Hou Junji still didn't have any good words to give to Qin Mubai.

"What do you think?" Qin Mubai smiled indifferently and said, "Obviously, Garqinling is contempt and insulting me, but he did not rush to attack Dafeichuan, so he is paying attention to me. Therefore, I feel more and more that this opponent has some weight.

"Then you will be too aware of it later." Hou Junji sneered and said, "At the age of 12, the boy assisted the abandoned sect with his father and led the soldiers to the north to quell the rebellion on the plateau. He was defeated and finally unified the plateau and established the Tubo Dynasty. Do you think this will be an accident?"

"So I remember correctly, this is the first time you have praised a person in front of me." Qin Mubai said. He didn't say the second half of the sentence - 'You didn't even praise Li Yaoshi, who taught you the art of war.'

"If one day, you can also make your enemies praise you and fear you behind your back, it will prove that you really have some ability." Hou Junji said, "The boy from the Chalqinling is no more than a few years older than you, and there is also the praise of Tubo's Zanpu Abandoned Zong, which is similar to your age. As everyone knows on the plateau, there are almost two Zanpu in Tubo, one is the Abandoned Zong, and the other is the 'righteous brother's's'garqin Mausoleum. In a sense, Tubo can be praised without abandonment, but it can't be without the Chalqin Mausoleum. The latter is much more important, and for the Tang Dynasty, he is the real enemy.

"The real enemy? What do you say?" Qin Mubai asked.

"You stand in the perspective of the Chalqin Mausoleum and think about it, and you will understand. In fact, he is somewhat similar to your situation. Hou Junji said, "In fact, kings and ministers are not willing to fight. They are generally generals who want to fight. As for the reason, you can recall how fierce and dangerous the court's debate over the war and the matter was. In fact, it's the same in Tubo. With the Tang Dynasty, this matter was not proposed by our Tang Dynasty, but Tubo's young Zanpu, who abandoned the sect and praised it. And it was mentioned a long time ago. At that time, even the Battle of Songzhou had not been fought - you must not know these things.

"I admit it. You fought the Battle of Songzhou, and you were the prime minister of the cabinet at that time. Qin Mubai said, "Since Abandoned Zong praised the marriage, why did he end up like this again?"

There are many reasons. One of the most important reasons is the Chalqin Mausoleum. Hou Junji said, "You must know the truth of the good bow, don't you? The great empire of Tubo was built, and Zanpu wanted to make peace with the Tang Dynasty so that the plateau would enter decades of peace, and use it to stabilize the foundation of the empire and cultivate their culture and people's livelihood - what does this mean for the founding father's Marshal, the Gengarqin Mausoleum? Isn't it useless to just wait to remove the grinding and kill the donkey? Of course he doesn't want to! - Think about your own situation. If you don't fight with Tubo, you will stay in Chang'an all the time. At most, you are just a idle son-in-law, just like a dispensable Qingping dog. How good can you live? In a man's life, what he wants is nothing more than that little wine, wealth and arrogance. In this way, do you have any similarities with him? You must all control your own destiny through war.

After hearing these words, Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Hou Junji, I didn't expect that you couldn't smash a few stuffy jars with a hammer, and it's a little interesting to talk at length."

"If you don't believe it, you can think I didn't say anything." Hou Junji curled his lips indifferently and said, "Now all I know is that the initiative is completely on the side of the Chalqin Mausoleum, and our situation is not good at all."

Qin Mubai frowned and nodded and said, "That's why I called you here. Tell me, is there any way?"

Hou Junji was silent for a moment and said, "There is a way. You may not dare to use it."

"Tell me."

"The strange soldiers came out of the Snow Ridge and attacked Kunlun Mountain!" Hou Junji said.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mubai did not show the surprise that Hou Jun had expected. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "This plan coincides with me. But it's really difficult to implement it.

"Oh? Do you also think of this layer? On the contrary, Hou Junji was quite surprised. He said, "The old nest of Garqin Mausoleum is in Golmud, Kunlun Military Region. This time, he led 300,000 heroes to Qingluoyuan, with a continuous power of three hundred miles. There is almost no possibility to defeat him head-on. From this, we can only beat the snake seven inches - first cut off his grain and destroy his foundation, and let his army be defeated, then there is a possibility of success.

"That's exactly." Qin Mubai said, "The situation in front of me reminds me of the Battle of Guandu in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Yuan Shao's strength was far better than Cao Cao, and Cao Cao burned the black nest and cut off Yuan Shao's logistics, so he defeated his opponent in one fell swoop.

"But the garqinling is definitely not a wine bag like Yuan Shao. He has rich experience in the rest of his life, and he is wise and thoughtful. It is difficult to go to the blue sky if he wants to take advantage of his loopholes to burn his food and fod. Hou Junji said, "Moreover, the snowy plateau is not a place like Guandu and Wuchao. Don't say that the Garqin Mausoleum will station heavy troops on the grain road to ensure that the logistics is not secure. Even Golmud will be strictly guarded, and it is extremely difficult to do it. Before the three armies move food and fodder, he must know the importance of food and fodder. We have almost no chance."

"It's hard to say whether you can do it or not, but if you don't try, you will definitely not have a chance." Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and said.

"Oh?" Hou Junji said curiously, "What are you going to do? - If you can attack Kunlun and successfully burn his food and fodder, you will win more than half of the battle!"

"The secrets can't be revealed. I have made arrangements, but I'm not in a hurry." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "What we have to do now is to play two games with garqinling first - only lose, not win!"

"The plan of a proud soldier?"

"Yes!"

"Don't send me to fight this kind of battle!" Hou Junji immediately said urgently, "In my life, I hate defeating the war!"

"What a coincidence, it's up to you." Qin Mubai said with an indifferent smile.

"Why!" Hou Junji roared.

"Only, you are the strongest general in the Kansai army. If you lose to Tubo, you will believe it. Only then can we achieve the effect of 'the proud soldier'. Qin Mubai said.

"..." Hou Junji was suddenly speechless. He gritted his teeth with hatred and nodded angrily, "Okay! But if Xue Wanjun's group of old men dare to make fun of me, I will cut off their heads on the spot!"

"In ancient times, there are clouds, and Yan Magpie knows the ambition of Honghu? On the other hand, how could Honghu care about what Yanque looked at him? Hou Junji, if you really have the same knowledge as them, I'm out of my sight. Qin Mubai said.

"..." Hou Junji was speechless again, nodded with a sigh and said, "Okay, Qin Mubai, you won! Unexpectedly, at a young age, you learned a few tricks of imperial control. Did your majesty or Li Jing teach you?

"I'm not the art of ruling people, because I'm not your master, and you're not my minister. We are comrades-in-arms who share weep and woe. Mutual trust is the most basic, and it is inevitable to make some occasional sacrifices for the overall situation. What do you think?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"In terms of eloquence, I am naturally far worse than you. That's it. You can do what you want. Who made you the coach?" Hou Junji casually hugged his fist and said, "When to go to war, you can say it."

"Five days later is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In any case, there will be a frontal battle. Qin Mubai said, "Come and fight."

"Good! ...But what if I win if I'm not careful?"

"I'll cut off your head."

"...Farewell!"

After Hou Junji left, Qin Mubai closed his eyes and sat quietly for a long time.

Such a huge military competition is indeed a huge test for Qin Mubai, who is a newcomer. In the past, he also led soldiers to fight, but compared with the current ones, the previous wars were either not worth mentioning, or he was not an independent commander.

Inexperienced, great pressure, the enemy is strong, the opponent is smart, and there are also intrigues in the rear... Qin Mubai feels that all this is like peaks, pressing on his shoulders.

However, every time the pressure on his shoulders increases, Qin Mubai feels that his shoulders are a little stronger, and his legs are also more powerful.

Since his father's death, he has no big tree to cover him from the wind and rain, no backer to support him, and everything depends on himself.

"Father, although I am willing to exchange everything now for your vigor, the only advantage is that your son has really grown up now!"

"Come on, pen and ink!"

With a pen and wave of writing, Qin Mubai wrote an urgent military article to report to the court, and ordered the fast horse to travel 800 miles day and night to send it directly to Fang Xuanling, the deputy general manager of the march of Kansai Province.

Only one thing was said in the letter - Qin Mubai needed someone to be an assistant!

Eight hundred snow sculpture armies lack a real leader. Looking at the whole army, there is no suitable candidate. Although the one-armed Zhang Tong is the nominal leader, it is inconvenient for him to act with a disability. If you want to perform some special tasks, 800 Snow Sculpture needs a real "Diao King"!

This person is not Qin Mubai's proud disciple - Pang Fei!

This boy is now leisurely and complaed as his earth king in Xiangzhou. How can he make him so relaxed and happy?

Less than two hours after the fast horse ran out of Dafeichuan, a group of strange people rushed to the barracks and were stopped by the patrol soldiers. Come and report that Pang Fei, the captain of Xiangzhou, was ordered by the Ministry of War and came to help fight!

"There is such a coincidence in the world!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and immediately called Pang Fei into the big account of the Chinese army!

Pang Fei led more than a thousand soldiers into the camp and worshiped Qin Mubai head-on. He was very surprised!

After inquiry, I learned that after hearing the start of the war in Lanzhou and the death of Qin Shubao, Pang Fei, who was far away in Xiangzhou, could not sit still for a long time. The company presented a number of invitation forms to the military department and asked to go to Lanzhou to participate in the war, but it was always like a mud cow entering the sea. However, soon after Fang Xuanling served as the deputy general manager of the Kansai march and took over the military department, he immediately approved Pang Fei's petition. Therefore, the boy spent more than a month galloping all the way from Xiangzhou, thousands of miles away, to Dafeichuan!

What came with it was Qin Mubai's former direct relatives' troops and the Bailang water army of Xiangzhou Prefecture!

"It's too much time!" Qin Mubai laughed happily, "Pang Fei, I have never looked forward to your appearance as much as today!"

"It is the greatest blessing of Pang Fei's life to be able to lead a horse for his teacher!" Pang Fei was also very happy and said, "The students also brought the White Wave Water Army in Xiangzhou on their own initiative. But the area of Dafeichuan is full of plateau grassland. I don't know if there will be any place for us? Does the student's move seem a little superfluous?

"It's not superfluous at all." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe you have done one of the wisest things in your life - don't ask so much, live and have a good rest first to refresh me!"

"Yes, teacher!"

"In the barracks, you can't call me that."

"No, young commander!"

"Go ahead!"

The arrival of Pang Fei surprised Qin Mubai, which is one of the rare good news in recent days. Although this boy may be a little suspected of coming to the military industry and making a fortune, he is not killed by himself. It is also rare for him to come thousands of miles to help the war.

The most important thing is that you really need him now...

Because of Pang Fei's unexpected arrival in advance, Qin Mubai's mood became much more relaxed and happy. Therefore, when he returned to the handsome back house, his footsteps were a little brisk, with a few smiles on his face. As soon as they entered the back house, they bumped into the Pengtai sisters. When they saw Qin Mubai's relaxed expression, they joked together about whether "people are happy and happy and get married to the princess today."

Qin Mubai laughed and scolded the two sisters and came to Princess Wencheng's room.

"Mu Bai, are you back? Are you all right? Are you not injured? Did you win the flag?" Li Xueyan asked with great concern.

"What, are you very concerned about the war?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Don't you hate war and the dead the most?"

Li Xueyan nodded a little awkwardly and said, "In contrast, I naturally care more about your safety."

"That's right. Everyone is selfish." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "No one is really selfless, and even you are no exception, right?"

"..." Li Xueyan was choked by Qin Mubai's snatch for a moment. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Yes, I'm not as great and selfless as I imagined... If the war must be inevitable, and the bloodshed and death will come as scheduled, I at least I hope you can be safe, the Tang Dynasty's general Taxis can have fewer casualties.

"You are very honest." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I know that your heart is very contradictory at this moment. You can't even believe yourself and question your past ideals."

"Yes... I can't hide this from you." Li Xueyan put her elbows and frowned, slowly paced a few steps, and said, "I'm in pain. I began to doubt my ideals, and my beliefs were shaken. I was very confused about what to do next. Mu Bai, you are very wise, and I have always trusted you. Can you teach me?"

"You don't even trust yourself anymore. Are you willing to trust me?"

Li Xueyan turned her head, looked at Qin Mubai with a soft but firm look, and nodded gently, "I do!"

"Thank you very much." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you something. I'm going to take you to observe before the battle to let you know what war is. Maybe after that, you will understand what you should do.

"Bring me to watch the battle before...?"

"Not bad!" Qin Mubai said, "Five days later, it will be the time of my appointment with Garqin Mausoleum. Originally, it was quite inappropriate to take you to watch the battle before the battle. But I was entrusted by the prince to have another time with your friends. I think you are worth making an exception. After coming back from the battle, no one will interfere or ask where you are going or what you want to do.

Li Xueyan frowned gently and meditated for a moment, and nods firmly, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"Five days later, you and the Taitai sisters will pretend to be my guard sergeant and follow me to supervise the battle! I believe that from then on, you will really understand the difference between the benevolence of women and the benevolence of righteousness!"

"Although, I don't want to see bloodshed and killing with my own eyes. But... I will look forward to that day!"
