Chapter 497 If Perish

The war is in full swing.

In the city, there is a doomsday scene. The soldiers and horses were raging, and the people were panicked.

In half of the collapsed palace, Abandoned Zong sat in front of Dongzan Yusong's sickbed, closed his eyes, twisted a string of Buddha beads in his hand, and said silently, "Buddha's blessing, the thunder and fire natural disaster did not come to this palace..."

"Zanpu..." Tubo, who had been in a coma for a long time, woke up and called weakly.

"Father, you're awake!" Qi Zong Nongzan hurriedly got up and held Dongzan Yusong's hand.

"Oh--" With a long sigh, as if from the depths of his soul, Dongzan Yusong frowned tightly and said leisurely, "Is there still a war after all?"

Zi Zong gave a nod.

"Qinling, Qinling! ..." Dongzan Yusong's expression was extremely painful and choked for a moment.

"In fact, you can't blame Qinling." Qi Zong said in a low voice, "Maybe from the beginning, his ruling party was indeed wrong, but the starting point was still for the sake of the strength of the empire. Later, he found that there was something wrong. Anyway, he agreed with my strategy and supported me to implement the alliance policy. Unfortunately, Qin Mubai, the commander-in-chief of the Kansai Army, did not enter with one hand. He refused and took the initiative to attack the plateau. That's it. There's no way to fight back!"

"In the final analysis, didn't Qinling do the thing first?" Dongzan Yusong said, "From the beginning, he opposed the peace alliance, from refusing to marry, and then invaded Tuyuhun and attacked Liangzhou. That's all. Is it necessary to kill Qin Qiong, who is far away in the Western Regions? The death of Qin Qiong has long been doomed to the inevitable war in front of him. Yu Gong, Qin Qiong is the hero of the founding of Li and Tang, and the general of the town. In private, Qin Qiong has followed Li Shimin for many years. It is often said that he bullied the master when he beat the dog, not to mention that he is an emperor or a famous general? In addition, as soon as Qin Qiong died, there was only one idea left in Qin Mubai's heart, that is, revenge! - What is said to be dedicated to the country, everyone has selfishness, not to mention the revenge of killing his father! It can be said that killing Qin Qiong is the biggest mistake made in Qinling's life! This is far more wrong than the Taozhou Slaughter City!"

Abandoned Zong sighed, shook his head and said, "That's what my father said. If Qinling hadn't done too much, Hou Junji might not have treated his father so badly... It can be seen that Hou Junji is Qin Mubai's loyal. He is purely selfish revenge. He doesn't regard you as a Tubo at all, but only regards you as the father of Qinling.

"That's it, that's it. That's it. Don't mention it again." Dongzan Yusong shook his head in pain and said, "Zanpu, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, I have a lot of bad luck. If it is defeated, it will definitely destroy the country; even if I win by chance, my vitality will lose a lot, and even the royal city is about to be destroyed. Qin Mubai, be cruel! Throughout the ages, all the foreign countries have attacked the Central Plains. Few of the Central Plains have taken the initiative to cross the border and killed the depths of the foreign countries, not to mention the towering plateau. Qin Mubai was determined and not afraid of death. He led 400,000 troops to the city of Luo, and also brought many strange weapons that destroyed the world! Even if Qin Mubai is defeated, with the strong foundation of the Central Plains, as long as they are willing, they can come back in three years at most. Even if they don't come, this war will almost destroy our dynastic regime, and the nobles will divide themselves, which will make Tubo fall into boundless turmoil and darkness again. Prosperation and prosperity will not return. Death will be a matter of time or later - Zanpu, for today's plan, you have to prepare first!"

Abandoned Zong and frowned and asked, "What is your father's opinion?"

"If Qinling is defeated, Zanpu might as well take the initiative to surrender before Qin Mubai's soldiers come to the city." Dongzan Yusong said, "Han people occasionally talk a little about faith, especially for false fame. Those who surrender generally do not kill or make it too difficult, and there has always been only the notoriety of the garqinling. Qin Mubai has no hatred for you, and I believe he will not embarrass you.

"No." Abandoned Zong said decisively, "I and Qinling are vowing to live and die together. Now that he is fighting hard to protect his family and the country, how can I do this kind of thing? No, no way!"

"Zanpu... At this point, how can you focus on your personal feelings and honor and disgrace? Please think about it for the people!" Dongzan Yusong sighed and said, "If Zanpu does not take the initiative to surrender, whether it is to continue to resist or go with Qinling, the people of Luoxue City will lose their final protection and hope, and they will definitely suffer boundless disasters. If Zanpu surrenders, he can still negotiate with Qin Mubai and sacrifice himself to keep the Tubo race immortal, Zanpu!"

Abandoned Zong closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

Dongzan Yusong sighed again and stopped talking.

"Father, I haven't thought about this. Even a long time ago, I decided to go to Chang'an as a hostage in exchange for everything I could get. Qizong said, "For the sake of our dynasty and race, I have already put life and death aside. However, we have to consider Qin Mubai's temperament!"

"Oh, what do you say?" Dongzan Yusong said curiously.

"Although I have never met Qin Mubai, I feel that Qin Mubai and Qinling are the kind of people." Abandoned Zong praised his eyebrows and said, "They are all the same amazing and gorgeous temperament, and they have the posture of heroes, and do not lose the spirit of heroes! - Don't be too servile or beg for such people. If so, he must be looked down upon by him, and any request will be useless. On the contrary, if you fight hard to the end, it is possible to win a little respect from him.

"Is that so?" Dongzan Yusong blinked confusedly, "What are you going to do?"

"If Qinling is defeated..." Qi Zong Zong stood up, cut his hands on his back and paced slowly. He said slowly, "I will burn myself in the Potala Palace, and then let my son and family take my handwritten letter of dedication and go to Tangying to surrender."

"No way, Zanpu!!!" Dongzan Yusong shouted, "Zanpu doesn't have to die at all! - In those years, Jieli Khan offended the Tang Dynasty like that forced Li Shimin to almost abdicate, and in the end, he was treated well! If Zanpu went to Chang'an..."

Abandoned Zong praised and waved his hand fiercely, "I'm not Jieli! - The king of the subjugated country, and can he survive? Father, I have made up my mind. Don't say any more!"

The war on the Palmer Plain has lasted all day.

When the sun was thin in the west, a blood fog and dust in the air took off, and the sky was dyed with a dazzling bright red color, just like a ghost land.

The Tang army and the Tubo army fought this bloody battle. Neither side was completely defeated, and neither side had an absolute advantage. It will be dark, and the two armies will return to the camp in preparation for another battle tomorrow.

Qin Mubai urgently summoned the people to the central army. Count the casualties. Fortunately, all the generals were safe, but there were many casualties in the whole army. According to preliminary conservative estimates, at least 30,000 horses have been lost!

Thirty thousand people can be the total population of a county in Datang. When the corpses are piled up, they must be higher than the wall of the royal city of Tibet.

The generals have just finished fighting. In addition to impulsiveness, excitement and fatigue, they are also a little depressed.

It is said to catch turtles in the urn, but the soldiers and horses in Tibet are not as good as imagined. The Tubo people who fought back by the Jedi burst out with a stronger combat effectiveness than usual.

But now, there is no cleverness available, only a pure decisive battle.

It's time to really test the strength of the army. There is no way to avoid it.

Qin Mubai didn't want to say anything more. He just asked the generals to go back to the camp to have a good rest in preparation for tomorrow's battle. The generals killed for a day, and it was close to the edge of physical overdraft, and they staggered back one after another.

"Ren Gui." Qin Mubai called and asked Xue Rengui to stay.

Xue Rengui held a punch, "What do you want to do, young commander?"

Qin Mubai came to him, looked at him up and down, and smiled, "It's been killing all day. Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Xue Rengui smiled and said, "I'm used to it."

Qin Mubai looked at his shoulder. The lion helmet shoulder pad of the bright armor seemed to be damaged, with faint blood stains.

"Are you injured?"

"It's okay. I accidentally took a shot and broke some skin. I didn't hurt my muscles and bones."

Qin Mubai blinked his eyes, "How can someone hurt you? If I remember correctly, you have never suffered any skin and skin injuries, and even the cold arrows have not hurt you in half - is it the Chalqin Mausoleum?

Xue Rengui nodded with a smile, "He is indeed a very powerful opponent!" Xue was injured for the first time in his life.

At this time, Yuwen Hongtai went and suddenly broke in and shouted, "Third brother, I won't be the main force tomorrow!" I want to be a pioneer!"

"What are you clamoring about, you black bastard? Do you think this army is in your pig's nest and you can do whatever you want? Qin Mubai scolded angrily.

Yuwen Hongtai smiled and smiled. Seeing that Xue Rengui was also there, he became more and more excited. He shouted, "Ren Gui, have you fought with the little monkey in Garqinling today? How is he? Is he fierce? - I'm going to be a pioneer, and I'm going to kill him to avenge Enshuai! - Otherwise, you can change with me tomorrow? Hey hey!"

"Don't fool around. The military order is like a mountain. How can we let us decide in private?" Xue Rengui said righteously.

Yuwen Hongtai suddenly looked bitter and begged, "Third brother, you can do it. Let me be the vanguard!" Since Enshuai died, I haven't had a good sleep. I dreamed of killing the little monkey in Galqinling with my own hands! - This time, it may be my only chance. If you don't let me try it, I will be unhappy all my life! It's not good to die!"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You are about to cry and hang yourself. What a style! Anyway, Rengui fought a fierce battle today, and he must be tired tomorrow. I'll keep him to rest in the camp for a while and let you be the vanguard!"

"Young commander, Xue has nothing to do, and he can fight!" Xue Rengui is anxious.

"Hahaha, you are obedient and go back to the camp to have a good rest. I'll take the lead tomorrow!" Yuwen Hongtai played a hooligan and couldn't help pulling Xue Rengui out.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Rengui, just take a day off, and it's okay. This battle will not be played in one or two. You are the first general of my Kansai Army, and you should recuperate your energy and preserve your strength.

"Yes..." Xue Rengui answered helplessly, took a few eyes of Yuwen Hongtai fiercely, and strode away.

The next morning, yesterday's scene appeared again on the grassland. The two armies fought against each other, the knife armor covered the sky and the sun, and the murderous spirit rushed through the sky.

The difference is that yesterday there was a green grassland, and today it is a messy purple color, and the soil exudes a disgusting smell of blood.

Under the bull-headed general's flag, the Chalqin Mausoleum is still standing at the forefront of the Tubo army.

From time to time, the left and right deputy generals looked at the garqin Mausoleum and his left hand.

The hand, wrapped in a thick layer of medicinal cloth, still couldn't stop the blood oozing out.

"Xue Rengui, it's really awesome! In the first battle yesterday, he actually cut off the marshal's three fingers and almost cut off his whole palm! - Marshal, but the real god of war on the plateau!" The generals thought uneasily, "The marshal used a gun. Now that he has injured a hand, how can he fight? What if you want to meet Xue Rengui again! ......”
