Chapter 433 A Thousand Waves with a Stone

Qin Mubai's determination made Li Daozong speech for a moment. He was silent for a moment and said, "Mu Bai leads the troops in person. I'm only worried about your body, and I ask you to do it according to your ability."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm already safe." Qin Mubai replied.

"That's good." Li Daozong said, "Yuyang Erguan must have cut off food together. This sin is mine. If you want to be punished, I will do it first.

"Your Majesty, it's hard to be a poor family. I know you can't be blamed." Qin Mubai said, "Long before the war, the treasury in Lanzhou was already empty. Even the people were tightening their belts and saving rice and grain from their teeth to supply the army. Later, although the court supported our army's logistics, Chang'an was still 2,000 miles away. It takes time to transport grain and fodder for a long journey. A few days ago, I also checked the treasury of Danzhou, where mice could almost starve to death. It's not that the prince doesn't send food to Yuyang Erguan. It's really... there's no way to send it!"

Zhu Bancheng, who was beside him, said, "General Xue and our brothers did not complain about the young marshal or the prince. Because the young commander and the prince know the importance of the second pass of Yuyang better than us. General Xue said that if there is no backup food and fodder, there are only two possibilities. One is that Dafeichuan was defeated, and the Tubo soldiers came to the city and the food channel was cut off; the other is that Lanzhou has no food to send!"

"As you said, these two situations have happened... A few days ago, when the siege was lifted, I finally transported thousands of stone grain and grass from all over Helong to Yuyang Erguan. It is estimated that even if it is transported, it can at most let the soldiers who guard the customs be half hungry and half full for a few days. Li Daozong sighed and said, "I didn't expect that before the food and fodder arrived, the city gate had been lost, alas! This is really the biggest mistake I made in my life, Li Daozong!"

"Forget it, my lord. Now is not the time to hold yourself accountable, and you don't have to blame yourself at all. Some time ago, I cheated Lanzhou to death without a leader. It is not easy for you to ensure the overall situation. In the final analysis, no matter what mistakes Lanzhou has made, I, the governor of Lanzhou, am also duty-bound. Qin Mubai said, "Now the military situation is like fire. If we delay here for a while, there may be many more people to die in the second pass of Yuyang. I don't have time to wait. I will gather the generals and send troops to the second pass immediately!"

"Good!" Li Daozong nodded and answered, frowned and said, "Xue Wanche was killed in the battle, and his brother Xue Wanjun is now in Chenzhou. How is the young commander going to arrange him?

Qin Mubai's heart was suddenly blocked. He felt the feeling of losing his close relatives. This pair of Xue brothers has always been called tantalum and tantalum. Whether it is physical appearance and physical ability, it seems to be carved in a mold. The two have always been close, and they really deserve the word "brother and foot".

Now that the hand is ready, how can it be?

But the Lanzhou base camp can't be garrivised without generals. It would be inappropriate to send only Li Daozong or Xue Wanjun to lead the troops. How can a Li Daozong's special identity be easily involved in danger? Second, Xue Wanjun's love is as fierce as fire. When he comes to the front, he is emotional, and it is difficult to protect the overall situation.

"Let him, garrivel in Danzhou!" Qin Mubai said decisively.

"How can I convince him?" Li Daozong hurriedly said, "The Xue brothers, the tiger and lions, have always been dependent on each other. Now the blood of killing my brother is deep. I'm afraid he can't control himself!"

"Don't worry, my lord," Qin Mubai smiled confidently, "Even if this lion is really angry, I can control it!"

Li Daozong was slightly stunned. Obviously, he didn't believe it. He said, "The Xue brothers are from generals, and their father is Xue Shixiong, the former general of Sui Zuo Yuwei. The two brothers were also Sui generals. After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, they followed Luo Yinan to the north to make great achievements, and then they joined the Prince Yin to build Mufu. During the change of Xuanwumen, Xue Wanche led the soldiers of the East Palace to fight and even fought back against the Qin Palace. Later, His Majesty's common sense of his martial arts and courage, regardless of the past, repeatedly summoned Xue Wanche, so he returned to worship the general and was reused. He also married Princess Danyang, the daughter of Emperor Gaozu, and became the emperor's brother-in-law... In his life, from birth to death, it was also several ups and downs. Although there are a lot of talents in the Kansai Army now, the most important one is Xue Wanche. The second is his brother Xue Wanjun... How dare you say that you can control Xue Wanjun at this time?

"Your Majesty, it's urgent to follow the power. I don't have time to persuade him slowly. I'll lead the troops first." Qin Mubai smiled faintly and said, "After that, Xue Wanjun knew that he was going to make trouble, so he asked the prince to tell him - how about the pain of losing his brother is better than the hatred of killing his father? Nowadays, the murderer, the Turkic Beiting, is still our ally! ... My father had a last word to warn me that there is no selfless hatred on the battlefield. I gave this sentence to Xue Wanjun, who has been in the war for half of his life, and he must understand. In addition, the most important thing is that Lanzhou cannot be without a general.

"Okay, it's up to you." Li Daozong frowned and nodded and said, "I'll arrange the rest of the winter grain and grass for you. You immediately go to rectify the soldiers and horses, carry the rations lightly, and gallop through the second pass!"

"Your Majesty." Qin Mubai invited him aside and said, "Chen Yan and Xiao Louer, please ask the prince to take care of him. In particular, Chen Yan can't let Chen Yan know that I'm going to lead an expedition.

"Why, can you control tens of thousands of tiger and lion generals and a woman?" Li Daozong suddenly looked contemptuous, "You are far from me in those years!"

If it hadn't been for the atmosphere at the present, Qin Mubai almost laughed out loud. He said, "I can't control her. It's just that she said that even if I want to go to the battlefield in the future, she must follow me and will not let me go from now on. She also said that she had to watch men, but her father for the small building! Lord, do you also think that there is a kind of person's request in the world, which is the most difficult to refuse - that is, the person who never asks others!"

"Has she changed her turn?" Li Daozong blinked blankly, nodded again and said, "It may be this time that you cheated her. Well, you act quickly. Don't disturb her."

"Good!"

Immediately, Qin Mubai led Zhu Bancheng to the military village, first entered his own Qinxunyi mansion, and ordered the whole house to gather and stand by. Another emergency order was issued, and 10,000 Zuowei Wuqi were transferred from Xue Wanjun, a total of 20,000 light cavalry, and quickly gathered outside the city.

At the moment of combat readiness, it is normal to transfer troops. Xue Wanjun didn't know what had happened from beginning to end. After a series of great victories, he knew that Qin Mubai's strange tactics were very strange. Although he was curious as a subordinate, he did not dare to ask. Just follow the order one by one.

After the rations and other things prepared by Li Daozong were sent to the ration, Qin Mubai personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for the expedition. Just as she was about to start, Chen Yan came.

She actually wore a mountain iron armor, a black unicorn brocade robe, and a long sword on her waist. It was Li Daozong's favorite black BMW - listening to the wind!

Seeing her appear, Qin Mubai had to smile bitterly, "After all, I still couldn't hide it from you."

"I didn't expect that I would have a messy day, right? But my current identity is not whose wife or whose mother, but a general who asks for war. Chen Yan smiled slightly, and then gave a military salute to Qin Mubai with a fist. "Chen Yan, the Baiqi Royal Guard, the Rosefinch Regiment and the Heavenly Brigade A Team, come to serve under the command of General Qin!"

The generals around him couldn't help laughing, but they were quite surprised and stunned - is this heroic and chivalrous young marshal lady really a Baiqi officer?

Qin Mubai's expression stagnated. Only then did he remember that when he was in Xiangyang a few years ago, in order to act conveniently, he really sued Chen Yan for an officer of a hundred-rider officer.

Perhaps she noticed everyone's surprise, Chen Yan took out a folded book from her pocket and opened it for everyone in public.

The generals looked at it and said in surprise, "It's indeed the official of a hundred-rider officer!" There is your majesty's seal, the seal of the army, and the seal of the hundred cavalry envoys and the three hundred cavalry deputy envoys on it. It must be true!"

"What are you shouting! - Chen Yan, you are just a team. What if I don't accept you?" Qin Mubai said a little annoyed and funnyly.

"If you don't accept me, Louer and I will divorce you." Chen Yan didn't talk like a joke at all.

The general Zuo couldn't help it any longer and suddenly laughed loudly. Some people shouted, "Now at this time, she is the young marshal again!"

Qin Mubai stared at the giggling soldiers angrily, and then stared at the serious Chen Yan helplessly and speechlessly. He mentioned Ma Jiang and shouted, "Let's go!!"

Chen Yan smiled and patted her horse to catch up. The soldiers made a sound of applause and rushed up with whips.

Twenty thousand cavalry, against the severe cold wind, immediately galloped to the northwest.

......

The fierce blood and surging war of the Saiwaiguan River did not bring too much impact to the prosperous and peaceful Guanzhong Jingji.

On one side is a fierce horse and a long spear, the yellow sand is the roar of the sun, and the other side is poetry and wine, chess Fu, and Lingluo wraps the tree and sings.

In fact, the war is somewhat strange and far away for the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty. At present, they pay more attention to how to spend the Spring Festival that is not far away. Although the Tang Dynasty has had repeated wars for more than a year, it has not had a bad impact on people's livelihood in China. The Tang Dynasty did not become panicked all day long because of the knocking of hundreds of thousands of foreign Hu soldiers.

Whether it is out of confidence in the Tang Dynasty or the common selfishness and numbness in human nature, the Spring Festival is approaching, and Chang'an City is as festive as in previous years.

But there is a group of people who can't be happy. This New Year is also destined to be full of uneasiness.

Because they heard - "Qin Mubai died in battle, and the emperor wants to fight in person!"

Two days ago, the court received a reply from Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, the governor of Lanzhou, in response to the emergency military situation in the front of the war. It is said that Qin Mubai was poisoned by Tubo, and the army was defeated and retreated to Danzhou. Now, Tubo has broken through the defense line, and Lanzhou's newly defeated troops are not helping people's hearts. The Kansai River is half full of the country, and it is in danger!

At today's court meeting, all the officials tightened a heartstring and stepped into the Wude Hall. Long live the sea and the mountain roar, the Wenwu looked up and were stunned - today's emperor and emperor Li Shimin actually wore the bright armor he wore during the southern expedition to the north, and sat on the dragon chair with a golden knife!

"I have made up my mind, and there is no need to rebuke me." As soon as Li Shimin opened his mouth, he gagged everyone's mouth. "You don't have a joke. I have said earlier that if Qin Mubai can't fight against the Qar Qinling, I will personally raise the teacher of the country and praise the abandoned sect!"

"Hangtow, long live my emperor, long live!" Zhong Wenwu had to sing like this.

"Your Majesty's hero, not inferior to the past!" Suddenly, a man walked out of the train and said loudly, "Old minister, I would like to go on an expedition with the Holy One. Although I lead the horse to death, I have no complaints!"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at it and was immediately surprised!

Isn't that what has faded out of the court for a long time... Duke Wei, Li Jing!
