Chapter 452 The crime of killing, what's wrong!

Three days have passed since the beginning of the snow.

Qin Mubai, who was physically and mentally exhausted and close to the edge of overdraft, finally got a good respite and recuperation. In the past year or so, Qin Mubai has not had a moment of rest since he was framed and imprisoned in the East Palace incident. The exhaustion of physical strength is not tight, mainly mental stress and torture.

The death of the demon, the death of the father; the court, conspiracy, framing; Lanzhou, Tubo, garqin Mausoleum... one by one, coming.

It was not until the Magic Moon Valley victory that Qin Mubai's heartstrings had been extremely tight that he relaxed a little. Then within three days, accompanied by Chen Yan and Xiao Louer, the almost dry body and mind were well nourished.

Although she is already a mother, Chen Yan still does not lose her chivalrousness and neatness at first sight. There is no trace of a bad yellow face at all, but adds a lot of mature charm and charm. More importantly, with her, Qin Mubai still doesn't feel any pressure, and there is no feeling that marriage is the grave of love. The firewood, rice, oil and salt between the husband and wife did not dilute the harmony and sweetness between the two.

In the bed, whenever Qin Mubai and Chen Yanyunyu curl up, looking at Chen Yan, who is as cold, unparalleled, arrogant and lonely, wise and intelligent, like the eldest sister in Lin family, gasping and twisting under him, Qin Mubai always has an almost evil pleasure.

In this world, which man doesn't want to conquer the country, beauty.

The small building is getting smarter and smarter, and the longer it grows, the more beautiful it is. Now she is loved by thousands of people. Even Li Daozong regards her as the apple of his eye and plays with her in the palm of his hand every day, even more than his own granddaughter.

Within three days, Danzhou received good news one after another. The first is the good news from Zhang Tong, saying that he successfully blew up the Buha River and flooded the Dafeichuan military camp.

At the same time, Zhang Tong also returned an important message, saying that on the day when Huanyue Valley made an "earthquake noise", countless iron horses rushed out of the Tubo camp, as if they were going to the direction of Huanyue Valley. Later, this group of people and horses did not come back. And not long after, the Tubo army left behind in Dafeichuan began to retreat mysteriously. As a result, the flooding of Dafeichuan did not achieve the expected effect.

Then, Hou Junji, the former general of the Dafei Sichuan Kansai Army, also sent the war report. He said that he led his army to Dafeichuan, and not long after Zhang Tong blew up the embankment and flooded the barracks. He immediately led a large army to pursue and annihilate the enemy, capture the prisoners, and rescue the army. In this battle, more than 30,000 Tubo enemy troops were annihilated and more than 20,000 were captured, but nearly 150,000 Tubo troops withdrew strangely in advance and are now stationed in the old village north of Yuanqingluoyuan. According to the prisoners, the one who is now in charge of the remnants of Tubo is still the Chalqin Mausoleum! At the same time, the prisoners also handed out an important message - just before the burial of the Magic Moon Valley, Garqin Mausoleum suddenly received an urgent report from the rear that the Golmud base camp was flooded by the flood, the garrison army was destroyed, and the grain and fodder were gone. Therefore, the Chalqin Mausoleum suddenly sent troops to recover it, and led the troops to conquer Danbaurji in Danzhou. After the recovery failed, he immediately issued a retreat order.

Now, Hou Junji is rectifying the flood to rescue the military resources, and strive to minimize the disasters suffered by Dafeichuan. He is stationed in the original barracks to confront the Garqin Mausoleum. According to Qin Mubai's instructions in advance, when the Garqinling army interrupts grain, our army will not attack or fight. One word - boil!

These two light-leaf military newspapers are like two heavenly hands, removing the big stones that pressed the hearts of Qin Mubai and others. This is even more exciting than the Magic Moon Valley victory three days ago!

"Great! Golmud was flooded, that is, the old root of the Garqin Mausoleum was broken. This is the bottom of the pot!" Even Li Daozong couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Two great victories in a row have greatly damaged the enemy's vigor and damaged more than half of them. Now the supply of the Chalqin Mausoleum has been cut off again. In this way, you don't have to take action. One winter, you can kill the Chalqin Mausoleum and his 150,000 remaining soldiers!"

"This is the ideal. But how can the Chalqin Mausoleum sit back and wait for death? Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The injured beast is even more ferocious. Now it depends on whether Hou Junji can withstand the attack of the Chalqin Mausoleum.

"It's hard to say." Li Daozong said, "If only in terms of the strength in his hand and the ability to fight, Hou Junji is a little inferior to the garqin Mausoleum. However, now that our army has occupied all the right time, place and people, and takes the initiative, Hou Junji can increase his chances of winning a little. However, on the other hand, the Chalqin Mausoleum is indeed outstanding. If he really fights back with all his strength, the result is not certain. Moreover, the possibility of temporary retreat from the Chalqin Mausoleum cannot be ruled out.

"Retreat?" Qin Mubai frowned, "This is by no means his style."

"Don't forget that he is not only a military commander, but also a powerful minister of Tibet." Li Daozong said, "If you want to win back after losing, a soldier will think so; but standing in the position of the garqin Mausoleum, will he gamble on the victory or defeat of the war with the fate and spirit of the whole Tubo Dynasty?"

"It makes sense..." Qin Mubai frowned and nodded and said, "Moreover, we can't ignore the praise of Abandoned Zong. Although the Karqin Mausoleum is a plateau of power for a while, it is not Zanpu after all. If he wins, he will really be in charge of everything in Tubo, and then it will not be the turn of Abandon to interrupt all the military plans. But now that he has lost, he has no confidence and capital. If Abandoned Zong praises him, there is enough reason for him to withdraw his troops and preserve his strength.

"Mu Bai, you have worked hard on this before, have you?" Li Daozong said, "From the beginning of your fraudulent death, you have separated the praise of the Qurqin Mausoleum and the abandoned sect. Whether you really succeed or not, there must be a gap between them. Therefore, now a great defeat has buried not only 150,000 Tubo enemies, but also the power of the Chalqin Mausoleum!"

"That's my real purpose!" Qin Mubai's eyebrows sank, and he snorted heavily. He said, "Thubo is located on the plateau, and the whole country is strong. It is difficult to rely on our own absolute force to conquer them. The most effective way is to attack the other's shield with his spear - as long as the Chalqin Mausoleum and the Abandoned Emperor praise the loss of kings and ministers and mutual suspicion, then we will really have a good opportunity to win! Whether it is the Magic Moon Valley Grand Victory or the Great African Sichuan Grand Victory, including the flooded Golmud, it is just a small victory for a while, just like Yang Tang to stop boiling. If you want to flatten the plateau and conquer Tubo, you must first divide the Chalqin Mausoleum and the Abandoned Zong! Otherwise, kill him 150,000 soldiers and horses and flood him with millions of grain and fodder. In a few years, he will recover and come back, and he will be more fierce. I'll wait, it's just a waste of effort!"

"Awesome." Li Daozong praised and said, "Mu Bai, you are not only an excellent commander, but also really have the ability to seek the army and the country! You're right. Throughout the ages, all the wars between the Central Plains and aliens, whether they win or lose, or make friends or pay tribute, have been repeatedly entangled. Why is it like this? Because in the final analysis, even if we win, most of them just stop the boiling and fail to get out of the pot. Now I believe the heroic words you said in my house a few years ago - the contradiction between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet is irreconcilable. Only by solving it through war and completely conquering the plateau and integrating Tibet into the Chinese nation can we truly solve this big problem! From the big battle in front of me, I can see your outstanding strategy and lofty vision, as well as your painstaking efforts and desperate struggle.

Speaking of this, Li Daozong smiled happily, patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder and said, "Good man, be like you!"

Qin Mubai looked at Li Daozong's smile, but there was an inexplicable pain in his heart.

How much does this kind of look, this kind of smile, look like a father who is already in heaven?

If now, it would be better if it was his father Qin Shubao who patted himself on the shoulder...

"The prince is flattered. In fact, I just have no way out before I gamble and let go!" Qin Mubai replied with a smile.

"Report--"

Suddenly, a long shout interrupted the conversation between the two. The doorman of the temporary governor's office shouted and ran in.

"What's the matter?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Report the young commander-in-chief Zhu Bancheng, the current Yangguan guard, is honest outside and kneels down to beg for a meeting!"

"What, General Yangguan? Kneel down and beg for a meeting?" Qin Mubai and Li Daozong looked at each other, with a "bad" look in their eyes.

"Call in!"

Qin Mubai and Li Daozong were sitting down in the hall of the governor's mansion. They saw several pawns and led a man into the house.

The man's hair was scattered and dirty and black like a prisoner. ** His upper body was tied with his hands on his back, and he also carried a bundle of thorns frozen like copper nails by ice and snow, with blood dripping on his back.

He walked into the hall and knelt down heavily on his knees. "Sin general, Zuo Lang of Youwei Weiyi Mansion, Zhu Bancheng, knocked to see the prince and the young commander!"

Qin Mubai and Li Daozong were shocked, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

"Get up and talk, who binds you, what happens? As a right Weiwei general, why didn't you defend the city in Yangguan, but in Sanzhou? Qin Mubai shouted and asked.

Zhu Bancheng slowly raised his head, his face was covered with ashes, but his eyes were full of sadness and regret. He said, "Young commander, it is the last one who tied himself up and came to plead guilty."

"What's the crime?"

"Yangguan...lost!"

"What?" Li Daozong couldn't help it anymore and said, "Where's Xue Wanche? What does he eat!"

"General Xue, and the 13,650 brothers who guarded the customs, all died in the country..." Zhu Bancheng answered this sentence, took a heavy breath, closed his eyes and trembled, as if he was enduring grief, indignation and sadness, and said, "The last general, under the order of General Xue, led a hundred brothers to break out of the siege, specially the young commander. I'm guilty in front of you!"

Qin Mubai sat and did not move, and there was no words in his mouth, but his face was already blue. He held the armrest of the chair tightly with his hands and creaked.

Seeing Qin Mubai's face, Zhu Bancheng closed his eyes in pain, suddenly bent down and kowtowed on the ground.

"Sin general, on behalf of more than 10,000 brothers, plead guilty to the young commander!"

Qin Mubai finally got up. He went to Zhu Bancheng and pulled him up, helped him up, looked into his eyes, and said, "I know Xue Wanche's person, and I am full of confidence in his ability. Tell me, what is the actual situation of the war?

"Yes..." Zhu Bancheng answered and said--

"A total of 80,000 troops in Tubo besieged Yangguan and Yumenguan. Due to the small number of soldiers in Yangguan City, they threw their main force into Yangguan and fought desperately every day. About a month ago, Yangguan had run out of food, more than half of the soldiers were killed, and the wounded soldiers were full.

"In spite of this, General Xue still led the remaining thousands of brothers and vowed to defend the city. There are tens of thousands of troops in Tibet, and they can't shake the city gate and can't move forward. Until one day..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Bancheng's eyes suddenly clenched his teeth and stared angrily, and his voice trembled. "The conscienceless Tubo thief actually caught a group of Han prisoners and came to Yangguan City! They shouted, let my army switch to meet the enemy or simply surrender, otherwise, they will slaughter the Han people in public!"

"Beast!!!" Li Daozong shot a few cases angrily, gritted his teeth and shouted!

Qin Mubai clenched his fist on his back and bit his teeth. "Go on."

"On the first day, the Tubo people cut off ten heads and threw them under the wall..."

"The next day, twenty..."

"The third day, forty..."

......

"In the end, there are more than 6,000 soldiers in the whole army who can move. Let's ask General Xue to fight with the Tubo people! I can't stand it anymore! - Young commander, don't blame General Xue for disobeying the military order switch and falling into the city gate! He is not the only one who is guilty of this crime. I have more than 10,000 brothers in Yangguan. I would like to lead with General Xue!" Zhu Bancheng was almost roaring. After saying this, he suddenly knelt down on one knee again, put his head on the ground, and the hand tied behind him was exposed. He was holding a blood-stained silk book in his hand. "Here is a joint petition from the Yangguan brothers. Please have a look!"

Qin Mubai's hand trembled.

He reached over, picked up the thick pile of blood-stained silk books, and waved it out.

A huge dirty white silk, densely covered with blood and full of names.

There are eight big blood words that are the largest and most eye-catching - "I can't stand it, blood is worth it"!

There is a signature next to it, "The criminal general, the commander-in-chief of the Xinghai Road march of Liangzhou, Xue Wanche."

Qin Mubai looked at it at a glance. His finger joints and bones were ringing, and his face was as tight as a stem in his throat.

Li Daozong came over, took this silk book from Qin Mubai's hand, read a few lines, looked up to the sky and roared: "There are many heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and there are ghosts in Kansai!" Xue Wanche and ten thousand soldiers, although defeated, are glorious and magnificent!"

Qin Mubai bent down, helped Zhu Bancheng up again, untied his shackles and removed the thorns with his own hands, and took off his brocade robe and put it on him.

"Young commander, the guilty general... But ask for a death to pay for the sin!" Zhu Bancheng sobbed sadly and said, "Before this, General Xue led a military order from the young commander, who was killed in the Guanguan. Now, General Xue must coexist with Yangguan and can't come to the young commander to get the crime. When the last general was about to go, General Xue said that as soon as the city gate was opened, it would definitely be lost and killed. His greatest regret when he died was that he failed to believe in his promise to keep Yangguan. When he died, he failed to be punished in front of at least Shuai! Therefore, the criminal general broke out of the siege, one is to inform the situation of the enemy's situation, and the other is to ask for death on behalf of General Xue! - There is a young marshal to give the last general a death! Wait for the last general to follow General Xue!"

Zhu Bancheng knelt down for the third time.

Qin Mubai closed his eyes and turned around.

Because he doesn't want to and can't let his subordinates and others see his tears.

"You get up first, big and small reasons, you have your own young commander's determination." Li Daozong walked over and picked up Zhu Bancheng

No one spoke in the hall, and in the silence, there was only a restless sadness and tragedy.

"The crime of God's killing!"

Suddenly, Qin Mubai drank these four words in his mouth, like a bolt from the blue, which shocked Li Daozong and Zhu Bancheng.

"What's wrong!"

Qin Mubai turned around, with unprecedented anger and excitement on his face. He shouted, "Zhu Bancheng, I and the sixteen red-clothed knives in front of me don't have the courage to cut your head. I don't care whether you will die in the battlefield or die without illness in the future. When you get to Huangquan, you will convey the eight words I just said to Xue Wanche!"

"Yes, young commander!" Zhu Bancheng's voice trembled and he hugged his fist to lead Nuo.

"You can also tell him that if it were me, Qin Mubai, he would also switch and fight!" Qin Mubai said, "If you lose the battle, it's a common thing for soldiers; if you lose the city, you can take it back - what you can't lose is the blood of a man!"

"Young commander! ...General Xue, and ten thousand Right Weiwei brothers, died without regret!!" Zhu Bancheng finally cried bitterly.

"Mu Bai..." Li Daozong came forward as if he wanted to speak.

Qin Mubai raised his right hand, smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to say anything. Immediately, send 20,000 cavalry to help the second pass of Yuyang! There is no need to punish the general, I will lead the troops in person!"
