Chapter 481 The Trail of the Wolf on the Plateau

The next day, Qin Mubai invited the generals in the army, including the six generals of the Hui army and Xue Lian, to the temporary governor's office for a banquet.

The generals only said that it was Qin Mubai who set up a banquet for them, so they happily went to the banquet. As a result, after three rounds of Wuwei wine, Qin Mubai deliberately walked to the six generals Huihu and said with a smile, "Generals are thousands of miles away to lead troops to help. Qin is very grateful! This time, Qin has been commended by the imperial court for his loyalty and righteousness. A few days ago, your majesty sent an order to specially tell Qin to entertain the generals with all the friendship of landlords. However, the war in Lanzhou is rare and expensive, and I apologize for the poor hospitality!"

Hearing these polite words, Hui Huizhong was very happy. They got up and drank with Qin Mubai one after another, saying polite words such as 'the young commander is too polite'.

Qin Mubai suddenly changed his words and said, "A few days ago, I heard your majesty's edict, and our Tang court has transferred 150,000 troops to help Lanzhou. This is really great news!"

"Yes, yes!" Huihu followed with a smile. They didn't know what Qin Mubai meant by this.

"In this way, there is not so much shortage of soldiers and horses in Qin's hands." Qin Mubai still smiled and said, "Your department is a friendly army of our Tang Dynasty. Qin has been wandering with Qin. He is deeply disturbed. Therefore, Qin has ordered the governor of Lanzhou to prepare 2,000 urn of wine, 5,000 cans of fresh milk, and transfer 30,000 cattle and sheep from Longyou to reward and thank your friends!"

When the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly glowed and they were overjoyed - it was not in vain all the way!

"In addition, Qin also took out some of the gold, silver silk and satin rewarded by His Majesty, plus Shanghao Huzhou silk and other things operated by Neizi Wu's business, with a total of 300 taels of gold, 60,000 yuan, and 300 pieces of silk, as a private thank you gift to the six generals!" Qin Mubai raised the wine glass with a smile as he said, "Some vulgar things are not respectable, please accept it!"

Everyone present, including some Kansai generals, was shocked - this gift was too valuable, and it was also thanks to people like Young Marshal Qin, who had such a rich family background and generosity!

Hui Huizhong's face changed after listening to it! Among other things, it is just the best Huzhou silk silk. When the Han merchants are transported to the grassland, such silk can be exchanged for three to four good adult horses! Now Qin Mubai has given 300 in one breath and each of them can get 50 - this is quite a huge wealth on the grassland!

"Thank you, young commander! You are so generous!" Everyone will be grateful!

Xue Lian sat aside and looked at it quietly. She didn't know what medicine Qin Mubai Gourd was selling.

"You're welcome!" Qin Mubai laughed and raised his hand, "Come on, bring up the gift!"

Dozens of soldiers carried boxes and cages into the hall, and gold and copper coins and silk were placed all over the corridor of the hall, shaking people's eyes. Qin Mubai smiled and said to the six people: "Generals might as well have a look. How about the color of this silk?"

"Good, good!"

Huiren swallowed and rushed to the pile of gifts helplessly. They are not very rare in boxes of gold and copper coins, but the good silk of the Tang Dynasty has a fatal attraction for them. Now, these six people rushed to a pile of silk and grabbed it!

"This is mine!"

"This is so beautiful! What a perfect silk and color!"

"Don't grab it, this is mine!"

......

Many Tang generals here showed contempt, and Xue Lian's face was not very good-looking, and she felt that there was no light on her face. But Hui Liu did not feel anything wrong at all. He was very busy grabbing silk with red face.

Qin Mubai watched them grab silk with a faint smile while playing with the wine glass. It was not until the 300 pieces of cloth piled up like a hill were artificially divided into six parts by them that he said, "Come on, carry these gifts to the generals' camp."

"Yes!"

Only then did the generals return to their seats at ease, and they were very grateful to Qin Mubai and persuaded them to drink.

After drinking a few more cups, Qin Mubai said, "In fact, Qin's gift is really nothing. If you go to Chang'an, all these things may not be exchanged for three mu of paddy fields in Chang'an countryside.

"Ah?" Hui Huizhong will let out a shock.

"Chang'an, that's really an inch of land and an inch of gold! Qin is a little short of money now, otherwise, he can give more things to the six generals. It is a metaphor for each person to have ten hectares of good farmland in Chang'an.

"This! ...Young commander, don't be too polite! That's enough!" Huiren refused while swallowing his saliva.

"Oh, that's right!" Qin Mubai suddenly realized the situation and said, "When we arrived in Shaanzhou just now, Qin wrote a table, which specifically described the great contributions of the six generals. Presumably, the reward given by the court should also arrive.

As soon as the six people heard this, a hot light appeared in their eyes and quickly bowed their hands to thank them.

"Generals, don't be polite. The rewards and punishments are clear. That's what it should be!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Because of the remote location of the country, it took some time for the messengers to come and go. Therefore, Qin asked the generals to stay in Shangzhou for a little more time, so that Qin could slightly fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and second, he could wait for the reward of the Hou court!"

When the six people heard it, they woke up - after a long time, it turned out that it was to "retain guests", not for us!

But... this benefit has been taken. It is often said that people are short-handed. How to refuse now? ...In addition, the reward given by the Tang court must be a hundred times richer than Qin Mubai's personal gift! With so much wealth, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!

People die for money, and birds die for food!

"I feel the kindness of the young marshal, so I have to continue to stay and disturb for a few days!" Six generals readily agreed.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Qin Mubai said with a smile. Inadvertently glanced at Xuelian, she saw her drinking one cup after another, and she kept drinking muffled wine alone.

After the banquet was over, Xue Lian found Qin Mubai and said angrily, "What do you mean by doing this? Do you want to buy it?"

"One is willing to give, the other is willing to receive, the name is right, and the income is reasonable. How can it be bought?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"You are too bad!" Xue Lian said with hatred, "Those generals of Huihu have taken so many benefits from you. In the future, you will say one is one and two is two. Just make it clear that when will the army of the Ministry be annexed? When did you take their military power?"

"What's ' annexation', what 'grabbing military power', don't make such a bad word." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "At most, I will take the money to buy it from them!"

"Yes, you have money! Money can make the devil grind!" Xue Lian was angry, but she didn't know where the anger came from. She clearly felt a little helpless.

"There are a few stinky money, and you can do some small things." Qin Mubai continued to laugh brazenly and said, "What's more important is that the Tang Dynasty is rich, rich and gorgeous. On the other hand, why didn't the Hui Department buy up the 10,000 elite soldiers of Xue Rengui's headquarters at that time?

"Huh! Show off!!" Xue Lian was speechless and snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, I, Qin, always do things based on my conscience and never treat people badly." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "As expected, the six generals of Huihu will be rewarded by our court of the Tang Dynasty. They will go to Chang'an to receive the title of land and title, and there will be official promotion. This is a well-beged title. How can it be better than the Tubo surrender and Gaochang surrender? Moreover, there is no reason to be dissatisfied, because he is also looking forward to the reward of the Tang Dynasty! - Becoming a Tang Dynasty and having the right of residence in Chang'an is the dream of countless foreign barbarians. Don't I have to say? What's more, become an official of the Tang Dynasty! As for ordinary sergeants, Qin will definitely treat him kindly, which you will not doubt. Because even the surrender of Tubo and Gaochang were treated equally under the command of Qin.

"You have taken all the truth. What else do we have to say?" Xue Lian said anly, "I just think you are unkind! Go back to the Ministry to help thousands of miles, you can swallow up all other people's soldiers and horses!"

"Blood Lotus, do you really don't understand, or do you pretend to be confused?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"These 40,000 soldiers and horses were originally used to be spoiled and rewarded, and they were also given as a dowry for you and your sister. Now that you sell it and do it cleverly, you still have to take it back. Is there such a reason in the world? Qin Mubai said with a smile.

Xuelian's face suddenly turned red, "What dowry? Look at your smile. It's so shameless!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Blood Lotus, it's not that I want to stimulate you. Tu Midu is an ambitious person. He gave 40,000 soldiers and horses to Xue Rengui to help Lanzhou. His intention is very far-reaching, not all for you two sisters. It won't take long for Li Xun to wipe out Xue Yantuo, and Hui Hui must be strong and stubborn on the grassland, replacing Xue Yantuo as the new hegemon. Do you think it's worth the cost of these 40,000 soldiers and horses?

"I understand these. Don't change the topic - what do you mean by dowry?" Xue Lian stared at Qin Mubai and asked.

"Isn't it your sister marrying Xue Rengui, and you will marry me in the future, dowry!" Qin Mubai smiled very brightly.

"..." Xue Lian was speechless for a moment, angry and funny, "Thanks you - who is going to marry you?"

"Oh, I've received all the dowry. It's up to you whether you marry or not. Anyway, I won't lose!" Qin Mubai laughed loudly and strode away.

"...This bad man is really amorous and shameless!" Xuelian looked at Qin Mubai's back and stamped her feet with shame and anger. Her heart was a little beautiful, but she was a little aggrieved, but she was also much more down-to-earth than before. In short, she had mixed feelings.

Qin Mubai just took a few steps out, and a pawn came to report urgently, "Young commander, General Pang Fei is back!!"

"What?!" Qin Mubai shouted in surprise, "Where are the people?"

"I have entered the city! General Yuwen and others have already gone out to pick up people first!"

"Call them to the hall!!" Qin Mubai rubbed his hands in surprise, "Bad boy, I'm not dead. I'm back!"

Xue Lian looked curiously and came forward and said, "Has the big girl fallen from the sky? Look at you as a fool."

"On the contrary, there are no big girls and several big men." Qin Mubai was in a good mood and grabbed Xuelian's hand, "Let's go and have a look with me!"

Xue Lian was caught by him. First, she was stunned, and then her heart jumped and a little embarrassed. "Let go, who am I? Catch my hand like this!"

Qin Mubai was stunned and laughed, "The children of the grassland are really different from the Han women!"

"What's the difference? You can say it." Xue Lian tilted her head and looked at Qin Mubai angrily and funny.

"The difference is that you... feel better!" Qin Mubai laughed and still grabbed her hand, "Let's go, don't grunt!"

"Hey! ..." Xue Lian shouted, but he grabbed his hand rudely and couldn't get rid of it. He dragged him forward. There was a burst of hotness on my face, and my heart was about to jump. After struggling for a few times and not earning it, he simply had to pull it like this and walk to the front hall.

In the hall of the governor's office, there was a large gathering of people, all shouting and cheering happily. Qin Mubai pulled the blood lotus to the hall, and someone shouted - "The young commander is coming!"

There was a shout in the core of the crowd - "Teacher!"

It's really Pang Fei's voice!

Qin Mubai's heart palpitated, "Pang Fei! You're not dead!"

The crowd was separated, and Qin Mubai saw clearly that Pang Fei and seven other people were carried in by seven pairs of stretchers and are now in the hall.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment and still held Xuelian's hand. "What's wrong with you...?"

Everyone looked straight at his hand with Xuelian. Xuelian hurriedly broke free and stood aside.

Six people struggled to get up from the stretcher. Qin Mubai hurried forward and squatted down. "Okay, just lie down and don't get up."

At this time, he saw clearly that almost all of the seven people were completely different - everyone was skinny, but their faces were full of frostbite, blue and purple, and some places burst and pus and blood flowed.

Pang Fei climbed up the first few steps and grabbed Qin Mubai's arm. He couldn't help crying on the spot, "Teacher! Students will be willing to die if they can see you again!!"

"Just come back, just come back." Qin Mubai hugged him tightly and patted him on the back, "Is there only... six of you left?"

"Yes." Pang Fei let go with some embarrasssment and bowed his hand and said, "When 500 of us set out from Qinghai Lake and arrived at Golmud Tianchi to complete the blasting task, there were still 36 people left. Later, we couldn't go back the same way, so we had to wander around Kunlun Mountain to survive. In more than a month, 20 or 30 brothers died. Later, it was General Hou Junji who led his troops to kill the Golmud area. After hearing the news, we went to look for him. He sent 50 or 60 rescued Han slaves to escort us all the way back to Dafeichuan. He came to see his teacher today!"

"Hou Junji?" Qin Mubai's eyes suddenly widened, "He went to kill Golmud?"
