Chapter 518 Private Enmity, Publicity?

When Ni Shu Si received Qin Mubai's war letter, he was lying on the couch and being treated by the Turkic witch doctor. Although he has recovered from his injury, Xue Rengui's arrow directly pierced him to the ground. The superficial muscles and bones are unharmed, but this internal injury may follow him for a lifetime. However, in the cold and summer, or happy, angry and sad, it may affect internal injuries, and the pain in the viscera should not be like a cone.

In front of the handsome tent, several wizards in the army "jumped around the big fire basin" and prayed for the victory of the war. There were more than 30 generals standing in the north court. Everyone looked at the mud and looked nervous.

Open the letter and unfold the letter. I saw that there were only a few words on it, "Ganxi Qin is here, who dares to fight".

The mud suddenly bounced as if it had been electrocuted. His fingers suddenly clenched and pulled the letter into a ball, and then shouted and lay down on the ground.

"Marshal!" The generals were shocked.

"Marshal, don't be angry!!" The witch doctor was so scared that he hurried to stroke his muddy chest and gave him medicine soup.

The mud was ripe and his face was white, like white paper. Even his lips lost his bloody teeth and clenched tightly, and his eyes closed and trembled all over.

"Marshal, take care!" The generals were shocked and worried, and they did not dare to go forward to worry, so they knelt down together.

Mud sip, once the eagle of the desert, the king of war, across the desert and the Western Regions for 20 or 30 years, and has not been defeated. The Beiting can have today's power, and 80% of the credit goes to this meritorious veteran. Today, he is the pillar of the North Court and the soul of the army. At this moment, if the mud is cooked and falls down, the Beiting will really be over.

The mud sip did not completely fall into drowsiness, but it was just blocked by a breath of evil in his chest, and he was dizzy. After a moment, he leisurely came to his senses, spread out the war book in his hand, looked around at the crowd, and said in a low voice, "Qin Mubai's war book."

"Marshal, my bow moon wall is high and thick, with armor and buckle string of 200,000 yuan. Khan is still adjusting troops and generals in the tooth tent. We are enough to fight with Qin Mubai!" The general shouted loudly.

Mud sip the old frown deeply with sadness and shook his head and said, "Gong Yuecheng, how about Biluo City? - Have you ever heard of how Qin Mubai forced the garqinling out of Luo and fight to the death?"

The generals suddenly woke up and remembered the rumors he had heard, that is, in Qin Mubai's hand, he held many fierce firearms comparable to the "power of gods and Buddhas". In the battles of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, such as the celestial burial of the Magic Moon Valley, the surprise attack on Golmud, the flood of Dafeichuan, and the burning of some cities, there are such firearms everywhere. In addition, it is said that he also has a mysterious team of pro-xuns, known as the "huo shen". The weapon used by these people is neither knives, guns, bows and arrows, but a firearm that projects iron bullets. The fire bomb from the firearm is not the body, even the iron-cast armor can't resist it.

In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Kansai Army was inherently strong. Others don't know that the Turks have tried it themselves. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang have taught them for a long time.

......

The atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly became extremely depressing, and there was a faint trace of panic spreading.

In the face of the invincible Kansai Army, this famous battlefield general also felt helpless from the bottom of his heart.

"Who dares to fight! ...What an arrogant young man!" The mud mature sighed, frowned more tightly, and shook his head helplessly again, "But he is indeed arrogant!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the only little confidence and fantasy left in the minds of the people were completely destroyed, just like seeing the bubbles of the scorching sun!

"Marshal, what should we do now?" The generals asked helplessly.

Ni Shuqi didn't say anything and looked at the war book in a staggered way.

"It's not as good as..." Someone is squeaking.

"How about it?"

"Why don't we... surrender?"

"Bah!!"

The person who said this was punched by a general next to him on the spot and fell to the ground.

The two generals suddenly quarreled, causing a chaos. He squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not dead yet!"

The generals were suddenly awe-inspiring, and the two who fought each other immediately separated. Although they were still angry, they did not dare to speak again.

"Since Qin Mubai came to the Western Regions in person, it proves that the Tang Dynasty's hegemony over the Western Regions is the most inevitable." The mud was full of sick face and his voice was also weak. He said, "The Kansai army has just defeated the Chalingling and conquered Tubo, which shocked the morale of the world. Our failure to take advantage of their recuperation to take over the Southern Court to dominate the Western Regions means that we have missed a good opportunity. I only hate Su Dingfang and Hu Luwu. If it hadn't been for these two people, the Western Regions would have been my pocket now!"

Everyone was speechless.

Mud mature gritted his teeth, covered his chest with his hands, and said with a painful expression, "I'm old, I'm really old. When Tianshan was ambush, I was broken by Xue Rengui. Since then, I have been having nightmares day and night. After a long time, he was put on another one by Su Dingfang. This time, the southern court is already within reach, but Xue Rengui appears again. In fact, no matter how powerful Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang are, it doesn't matter. At most, they can compete for the victory or defeat of a battle, and win or lose for a while. But now, Qin Mubai is coming. He is the real feudal official, holding the military power of the State of Tang and implementing the remote national policy. His appearance means that the State of Tang has officially begun to set foot in the Western Regions. Earlier, when Qin Shubao came, there were only 20,000 horses, only Gaochang was a place for a cone. Now... Su Dingfang first laid some foundation, and then Qin Mubai personally led 200,000 main troops to come. That's what he is bound to!"

Hearing this, the generals became more and more blocked, and many people couldn't breathe.

"If you really want to fight..." He stood up with his hands on the couch. He shook his head. "I have been galloping on the battlefield for half my life. I have never felt so powerless now. If we really want to fight, we... the winning rate may be less than one.

The commander-in-chief said such words during the war, which undoubtedly showed that the army was exhausted. In fact, it's not that you have to grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige. Everyone wants to say these words, but no one dares to say them except him.

How to fight this battle?

In fact, only he knows the helplessness in his heart. Otherwise, he would not faint on the spot after seeing the four words "who dares to fight". At that time, his heart was full of grief and indignation, helplessness, depression and despair.

It's not that I don't want to fight with the Kansai army. Two days ago, the scene of 200,000 troops in the North Court defeating and throwing away their armor without fighting has already broken his heart and cooled his bones.

It's like driving a group of rabbits. How to defeat the fierce tiger and wolf?

At this time, there was a general who was very close to the mud and reminded him in a low voice, "The marshal's words at this moment will undoubtedly disintegrate the last morale of our army... Does the marshal also agree to surrender? If this is sent back to the dental account, let Khan know..."

Ni Mushi actually smiled, closed his eyes and waved his hand feebly. "There are always some people who have to take responsibility and pay the price for the war. Just like in the past, when we wiped out any tribe, we had to bring back a few hairy heads as trophies. It is time for the dispute between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to come to an end. The strength is in front of us, and we are indeed not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty now. If there is a war, the last bit of the vitality of our Turks will be lost, and there will be a risk of genocide. If he can still preserve the race and strength of the Turks, hoping that he will rise again in the future - I killed Qin Shubao, and Qin Mubai wants to destroy my northern court, more than half of the reason is because of the hatred of killing his father. I went to him in person and surrendered to him. As long as Beiting can retain its vitality and sip the mud that has been half in the earth, why do you regret it?

"Marshal, no!" The generals panicked and knelt down together and begged.

"I've made up my mind!" He opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Go and ask the envoy of the Kansai army to come and send a message to Qin Mubai for me. Just say... sip the mud, and be willing to surrender!!"

When the envoy of the army replied, Qin Mubai was sitting in the king's tent and having a banquet with Nanting Khan Bo Buqin and others.

Anyway, the army has been prepared and is only waiting to go on an expedition. Qin Mubai didn't care, so he casually asked the messenger if he would reply. The messenger also said the original words directly, saying that he was willing to surrender.

"Surrender?" Many people were surprised. This is obviously beyond the expectation of most people.

Bo Buqin was also surprised and said, "The mud is the toughest giant tycoon in the desert. He has never bowed his head to anyone in his life. This time..."

Several generals also said, is there any fraud in the mud, whether this is a delaying plan, and so on.

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and asked the messenger how he was going to surrender.

The messenger replied, "The mud is ready to come to our army camp in three days later."

"This is the only one, there is no other way to say it?" Qin Mubai frowned, "It's a metaphor for the army to withdraw from Gongyue City and eliminate weapons?"

"No..." The messenger shook his head.

"Then what did he throw!" Qin Mubai slapped the wine case with a shout, which startled everyone present.

Everyone clearly heard the uncontrollable anger in his heart from his shooting and roar.

After all, father's hatred is not the same!

"You go to Gongyue City again and convey my original words to the mud--" Qin Mubai raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to surrender, you can. But there are three conditions. First, the mud sip and all the generals in their hands are tied to our army to surrender; the second, hand over all the weights and ordnances in the other army, and escort them to our army together with the mud sip, which will be kept and assigned by our army; thirdly, all Beiting troops withdraw from Gongyue City, and divide 20 out of the fifteen miles outside the city. Grouping up. I don't allow any of them to have even a knife to cut meat - all three, unless he agrees and does all of them. Otherwise, just wait to fight to the death with me!"

"Yes!--" The messenger was also a courageous person, otherwise Qin Mubai would not send him to the enemy. At that moment, he shouted loudly, led Nuo and ran away.

Everyone is silent.

Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and others who are familiar with Qin Mubai all feel that Qin Mubai's actions today are somewhat different from usual. In the past, Qin Mubai's diplomacy and methods against the enemy have always been soft and hard. It is his skill to kill people without spitting bones with a soft knife, and he rarely uses pure force to force the other party to give in. At the beginning, when he was at the Yumen Pass, he swallowed 100,000 troops from Tubo, Huihu, Gaochang and other countries with 20,000 to 30,000 horses in his hand, which was the best example.

But today, Qin Mubai seems to be determined to completely destroy the 200,000 horses under his hands. For this, he will refuse any possibility of peace at any cost.

Seeing that everyone looked different, Qin Mubai calmed down and smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Let's continue to have a banquet."

The atmosphere finally slowed down a little.

Bo Bu hurriedly toasted to the generals of the Tang army and asked Qin Mubai, "Mr. Qin seems to... hate mud very much?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I know what Khan wants to say. That's right, my father's hatred is not communent. My father just died in the hands of mud. I don't know how much I want to file his ashes. But my father's last words warned me that 'selfless hatred on the battlefield' is to tell me not to take him as my mind and take care of the affairs of the Western Regions with a fair heart.

"Your father's mind... is indeed unusually broad." Bo Buqin sighed softly and said, "He may have expected that one day you would step into the Western Regions to avenge him. Therefore, I just want to remind you to deal with this character carefully.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Khan actually wants to remind me not to kill mud, right?"

"Ha ha, Master Qin is wise, so I won't beat around the bush." Bo Buqin smiled and said, "It is true that mud is the enemy that my whole country hates, and it is also the enemy of Qin Shaoshuai to kill his father. But if I catch him, I will definitely not kill him. Because he has considerable prestige and influence among our Turks, including our southern Turks, and even in the whole Western Regions. It is no exaggeration to say that if anyone can defeat the mud, then he will be invincible in the Western Regions. Now the mud is ripe and actually took the initiative to surrender. To be honest, I'm really surprised. It is more valuable to let him take the initiative to surrender than to defeat him directly. Why doesn't Marshal Qin take advantage of this opportunity to establish virtue and prestige in the Western Regions and buy people's hearts at the same time? Among other things, if you do this, at least all Turks will respect you in the future. In the Western Regions, our Turkic power is the largest. This will undoubtedly bring considerable convenience to the young commander to conquer the whole Western Regions in the future!"

"What Khan said is." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, "But Khan, you worry too much..."

"The young commander means..."

Qin Mubai drank a glass of wine and put the glass heavily on the table - "I never thought of killing mud and sipping!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

Yuwen Hongtai immediately jumped up and said, "Third brother, the most important thing to kill in the world is mud. Why don't you kill it?"

"Shut up!!!" Qin Mubai shouted, and Yuwen Hongtai resisted to sit down, and his face turned red.

"Wait for the messenger to reply, and then we will know." Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, "Now, I only care about the banquet!!"
