Chapter 461 It's better not to kill a person than a slaughter

Qin Mubai and his party entered the barracks of the Gaochang Army and came to the Chinese army tent. Qu Wensheng and Qu Wenyuan, the two main generals of the Gaochang Army, hurriedly led the big and small generals and officials to kneel down together.

Xue Rengui told Qin Mubai that Gu Wensheng and Gu Wenyuan were the kings of Gaochang. When the first two kings of Gaochang were alive, they let them lead Gaochang's military power. The population of the whole Gaochang Kingdom is only more than 200,000, but more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Just because Gaochang is a hub on the Silk Road, Shangfu is quite active, and because the country is small but very rich. In fact, 80% to 90% of the army of Gaochang is paid to recruit soldiers. Among them, most of them are nomadic Turks and Tiele people surnamed Jiu. Most of them are proficient in riding and shooting all year round in the military brigade to make a living in war. In addition, there are also some Han rangers who have left their hometowns and professional soldiers from various countries in the Western Regions. Therefore, Gaochang's army actually has a little combat effectiveness, especially the individual combat ability is very strong. It's just that these people are very miscellaneous and inevitably unisonous. In addition, Gaochang has no generals and usually neglects training and control of the army, so Gaochang's army seems to be vulnerable.

Qin Mubai is a rare good resource for professional soldiers who are proficient in riding and shooting. These two or 30,000 Gaochang cavalry are a piece of rotten wood in the hands of Kou Wensheng and others. When it comes to me, Qin, I will make them change and turn into magic.

More than 20 Gaochang generals, including Yue Wensheng, knelt on the snow outside the military tent in two rows, and did not dare to raise their heads.

Qin Mubai stopped and looked at them for a long time. He raised his foot and walked towards the military tent. When he was about to enter the military tent, he threw a coldly, "Get up and talk in the tent."

On a very cold day, Kou Wensheng and others have sweated and wet their clothes. The hatred of killing their father is not the same. At the beginning, they participated in the military operation of killing Qin Shubao. Although they were involuntarily seduced by the intimidation of the Turks in the Northern Court, after all, their hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army and Qin Shubao. Now, you can't escape even if you can't beat it. The left and right are people's knives and I'm the fish. Qu Wensheng and others have long been panicked and panicked all day long.

Entering into the military tent, Qin Mubai sat down with a golden knife in the main position. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang stood left and right, and a team of sergeants who accompanied him held knives on both sides, with a faint murderous steam. When Yu Wensheng and others came in, they were all as cold as cicadas, and their foreheads were sweating coldly.

"Ji Wensheng." Qin Mubai called.

"Ah? ...Ah!! There is, the last one!" Ji Wensheng took a shot and answered in a hurry.

"What are you panicking about?" Qin Mubai said quietly, "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Gaochang Xiao Wang Yu Zhisheng?"

"The last will be the king... Oh, no, it's Koo Zhisheng's cousin, his cousin. Koo Wenyuan is my own brother. Both of us are Yu Zhisheng's cousins. Kou Zhisheng replied with a trembling mouth.

Qin Mubai's eyebrows were slightly heavy, and he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled out. He was not angry and said, "You and Xiao Xiao's generation are capricious and back to the leader! - It's time to peel the cramp, file and raise the ashes!"

"Drink!!" The hundred-rider guard sergeant standing next to him shouted in unison, powerful and fierce!

Ji Wensheng and others were so scared that they knelt down on the ground and shouted, "The last general has to be ordered to act lightly. I hope the young commander will forgive me for my death!" Now the crime canal has been put to death. We are willing to be slaves for dogs and swear to be loyal to the young commander to forgive the previous sins! Pledge of allegiance, allegiance to the death!"

While kowtowing in panic, Yu Wensheng knelt down and walked forward, picked up a few thick books in his hands, and shivered, "This is the mouth of our country's Bo Tianqi, cattle, horse and livestock, as well as the money and grain, and the sergeant's register. Please, please accept it!"

Qin Mubai glanced at him coldly, slowly picked up the books and turned them over at will. Suddenly, his face changed greatly!

There is a booklet recording the money and grain in the treasury, which happens to have the handwriting of his deceased father Qin Shubao!

When everyone saw it, most of them understood the reason in their hearts. Kou Wensheng was dumbfounded for a moment and cried out in his heart. I wanted to take the initiative to avoid the death penalty, but I didn't want to ignore such a fatal detail!

Even Xue Rengui pinched a cold sweat for Yu Wensheng and others. Now that seeing things and thinking about people is affecting hatred, Qin Mubai is definitely going to kill people!

"Receed it." To his surprise, Qin Mubai just said lightly, and then handed these books to the sergeant beside him. Then he said, "There is a debt and a debt. Although you are also accomplices, you will not die. Get up!"

"Young Commander Xie Qin, Young Commander Xie Qin!" Yu Wensheng and others jumped crazy and finally returned to their bodies, kowtowed and thanked in a hurry, and stood aside in panic. As soon as he stood halfway, Yu Wensheng hurriedly took out a bag of things from his arms and gave it to Qin Mubai, and said, "This is the tiger charm of the Gaochang army. Please accept it with a smile! Most of Gaochang's army is recruiting soldiers, and the soldiers only recognize tiger charms but not people. With this tiger charm, these sergeants are all young commander Qin!"

Qin Mubai glanced at him, smiled indifferently, rudely reached out and took it in his hand and said, "Yes, pure purple gold tiger charm. It's just a little heavy. Yu Wensheng, you are all mortals now, both in public and private. But I won't kill you. I'll send you guys to Chang'an and plead guilty to my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Uh! ..." Qu Wensheng and others were dumbfounded again, and they were worried that in addition to all the gifts that the head could be offered, they could not buy back a life?

Qin Mubai saw through their thoughts at a glance and said, "These things, whether you give them or not, will eventually be mine. That is to say, for the sake of your good attitude, I will give you a chance to live. To be honest, you have a better chance of living in Chang'an than staying here. Even if I don't kill you, it's hard to protect my soldiers not to seek revenge on you. My Tang Dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, and my emperor is the king of benevolence and righteousness. You can try your luck when you go to Chang'an.

"Okay, we are willing to be escorted to Chang'an, and everything will be done by General Qin." Yu Wensheng and others had to respond in panic. It was obvious that Qin Mubai annexed their army and gave them to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty as trophies by the way, giving him an opportunity to show the majesty and demeanor of the emperor.

"This is called cruel!" Gu Wensheng shouted in his heart, "He doesn't kill anyone, but he is more cruel than slaughtering the whole city. He simply swallows and eradicates the whole Gaochang country!" Now he not only has a good reputation for repaying grievances with virtue and personal hatred, but in fact, he has already gnawed Gao Changguo, and even spit out a little bone scum to make a smooth water favor! This boy is much more fierce than his own father! Now we can't fight, we can't escape, and even the fighting heart is a complete defeat - it's in his hands, and we deserve our lives!"

"New Year's Eve, please come to the camp at Yumen Pass and celebrate the festival!" After saying that, Qin Mubai got up and walked out with the generals.

Out of the camp, Qin Mubai handed the tiger talisman to Su Dingfang and said, "Dingfang, you now move the 20,000 cavalry of Gaochang to Yumen Pass and mix it with the 30,000 Tang soldiers in the Pass. Among every ten people, the ratio of six to four is the first evenly mixed in.

"Yes!" Su Dingfang Yingnuo took over the tiger charm.

"Rengui, after the team is finished mixing, you can spend some time practicing with Ding Fang to remove the disabled soldiers and weak soldiers in Sergeant Gaochang." Qin Mubai said, "The 10,000 Western soldiers brought back by Rengui, and the 20,000 Yue riders with me. In addition, the survivors of Yumen Pass are all elite parts made into steel! In the future, this is my Qinxun Yifu, the mainstay of the Kansai Army! Among them, there can't be a soldier who is inferior!"

"Don't worry, young commander!" Both Su and Xue solemnly agreed. Su Dingfang said again, "What should I do with the prisoners of Tubo? There is also the Tubo general captured before Rengui's array. There are more than that. He is the younger brother of the Chalqinling Mausoleum.

"The Kunlun Iron Horse is undoubtedly a quite fierce cavalry. We should try our best to recruit and reduce the collection. Qin Mubai replied decisively, "But you have to eat one bite at a time. If you recruit and surrender troops, you can't be in a hurry. Let's digest the twenty-tenthousand Gaochang soldiers and horses after eating.

"It's so good. Now there are more than 100,000 troops in Yumen, and we actually have only 30,000 people. Su Dingfang said, "If you want to integrate it into a complete and tacit army, you have to spend time and energy step by step. In any case, we must ensure that our original soldiers are the core and backbone of this army!"

"That's exactly what I thought." Qin Mubai said, "There are no more soldiers but more refined. It's meaningless to just look for the number. More than 100,000 people are not as good as 20,000 or 30,000 elite teachers. What we need to do now is to absorb the elites as much as possible and assimilate and integrate them into our Kansai army. It's like hitting iron. You have to smash it hard with a hammer. You don't have to worry that the iron is getting smaller and smaller. The rest is the essence!"

A gust of wind rises and snowflakes dance.

Qin Mubai took a look at the sky with his hand and said, "The heavy snow is estimated to last for a period of time. In a few days, the road will be blocked. It seems that it is impossible for the army to start, and they can only wait for the ice and snow to melt. During this period, we will rest and train soldiers and horses, and practice Sanfu in summer and Sanfu in winter!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "The young commander wants these soldiers to adapt to the ice and snow weather on the plateau as soon as possible, right?"

"Those who know me are sure!" Qin Mubai also smiled and said, "Sooner or later, it will be a matter of killing the plateau and fighting to the death of the Chaling Mausoleum. I not only ask Guan Junxi to adapt to such extremely cold ice and snow weather, but also have to overcome the big trouble of breathing on the plateau. The crisis of Yumen can be solved, and the affairs of the Western Regions can be temporarily come to an end. At present, our main strategy is still aimed at Tubo. As soon as the snow stops and the road is smooth, I will personally lead the army to Dafeichuan!"

Xue Rengui frowned and stopped talking.

Qin Mubai looked at him and smiled, "Rengui, I know what you want to say - come on, let's go back first, and come to me when Ding Fang is done. Chen Yan is a good cook. Later, we can have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

"Good!"

Soon after, Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui first returned to the Yumen Pass and came to the residence of the general guarding the Pass. Because it is a border gate city, there is no magnificent mansion, but a simple house with blue bricks and earth tiles, which is not bad. Previously, Su Dingfang demolished 90% of the military barracks in order to defend the city, and only a few brick houses survived. Most of the soldiers now live in marching tents.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them smelled the refreshing fragrance, which made people swallow their saliva with their index fingers.

"I didn't expect that the young marshal would have such a good cooking skill!" Xue Rengui couldn't stop praising.

"You don't have to be so rich." Chen Yan came out of the kitchen, clapped her hands and smiled, "You and I are both old acquaintances and martial arts practitioners. Just call me Chen Yan."

"How can that work!" Xue Rengui said with a smile, "This is different from the past. You are Mu Bai's wife."

"I didn't marry her." Chen Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Qin Mubai with warm eyes and said, "Although I am his daughter's mother."

"Cough!" Qin Mubai coughed dryly and said with a smile, "Eat it quickly. I'm hungry!"

"What's the hurry? Today is the New Year's Eve dinner, and there are distinguished guests coming." Chen Yan smiled mysteriously and turned into the kitchen. "If you are hungry, eat a mutton oil pancake to fill your stomach first."

Qin Mubai blinked blankly, "Precious guest? Yumen is closed here, can there be any distinguished guests?"
