Chapter 519 Never tolerate
Therefore, it took time for the messenger to go back and forth. Qin Mubai ordered that the army would go on an expedition two days later.
At night, Qin Mubai played chess with Xue Rengui. Both of them are not very skilled in chess. Xue Rengui's heart is full of loopholes today, and he is happy.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "That's all. I think you look worried. How do you play chess? If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly, put away the chessboard and poured tea for the two of them, and said, "Mu Bai, to be honest, I think your situation this time makes me feel a little strange."
"What do you say?"
Xue Rengui said, "Since the mud has taken the initiative to surrender, why don't we accept it? Isn't it time that we lack the most now? - There are still things about Kangguo and big food in the distance, which need to be dealt with urgently!"
"You're right. We're in a hurry. But if we are in a hurry to make a wrong decision for a while, it may take ten or twenty years, or even more, to deal with the loopholes we left today. Compared with the two, I would rather wait two more days. These two days are worth it. Qin Mubai said, "The mud is ripe to say that I'm going to surrender, but it's just a fall in my mouth, and I don't fall in my heart. Receiving an unconvinced enemy staying by his side will not have any benefit, but will become a huge hidden danger.
Xue Rengui frowned, "Isn't it always like this in the past? If the enemy surrenders, we, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely surrender.
"As a result, there are many capricious small countries. Today, there will be a rebellion tomorrow, and it will be a deep disaster!" Qin Mubai said, "To be honest, I would rather fight with an enemy like Garqinling than always quarrel at the negotiation table. You should be familiar with the scene in front of us now. At the beginning, when I mentioned that the army was stationed in Dafeichuan and was preparing to march towards the Luoxi City, I abandoned Zong and praised that they had surrendered like the Garqin Mausoleum. At that time, I put forward a few rather harsh conditions to the Tubo people before they were willing to surrender. In fact, I refused their request to surrender. Now that Tubo has calmed down, can you figure out the reason why I did this at that time?
Xue Rengui fell into meditation.
After a long time, he said, "I may understand a little."
"Typ you want to hear?"
Xue Rengui said, "As you just said, the reason why the Tubo people asked to surrender at that time was a helpless delaying plan and 'unconvinced'. What they need is just a respite for a while. When they recover their vitality, they will forget about the surrender and immediately turn their faces and turn against me.
"That's right." Qin Mubai nodded and said, "At that time, that's how I explained it to King Wu. I also gave him an example, like two naughty boys fighting. Party A was defeated by Party B and overwhelmed him, so he immediately asked for mercy and admit defeat. When Party B let him get up, the naughty boy may not wait to pat the dust on his body, and will fall to the ground when Party B is careless and relaxed. This is human nature. No matter who is bullied, he will hold a grudge and think about revenge. There are no real saints in the world, and there are no saint politicians and saint generals. The people we seek the country and the army are not naughty fights. If you don't pay attention, you will die! Therefore, I have always advocated that either do not do it, and once we do it, we will carry out a thorough attack on the enemy and destroy it mercilessly!"
Xue Rengui listened very seriously, but when he heard the word 'destruction', his expression was obviously stunned.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "The destruction I'm talking about is not pure killing and destruction, but disintegrate their fighting spirit and confidence from the heart, so that even the heart of revenge no longer exists! - For example, the current king of Guiren is praised! He will definitely not fantasize about returning to the plateau and rebuilding his Tubo Dynasty!"
"The mud is just a general. Why don't you accept his surrender?" Xue Rengui asked, "If we are surrendered, can't we decipher most of the power of the Northern Court and create an excellent environment for conquering them?"
"It's exactly the opposite. If I accept the surrender of a person, it will add infinite difficulty to us to pact the Beiting!" Qin Mubai said, "Pay attention, it's 'one person's surrender'!"
"One person? ..." Xue Rengui was suddenly at a loss.
"That's right." Qin Mubai twisted his eyebrows and said with a smile on his face, "The mud is ripe, as if he has touched my mind and thought that I came to avenge my father. And he must also think that as the marshal of the Northern Court, since he has personally surrendered to our army, I will definitely let the Northern Court go, so as to tolerate other generals and soldiers, including their Khan. From the perspective of the Turks, it's quite amazing to sip this person. He wants to sacrifice himself to preserve the strength of Beiting. In his opinion, if the Tang Dynasty wants to dominate the Western Regions, the first thing to defeat is the Beiting; however, after all, we are outsiders, and we certainly can't completely eliminate the Beiting fundamentally. Then, we can only unite with Beiting, at most, to accept him as a country of Hu. In this way, they can win a chance to breathe and save all their strength, waiting for him to rise again. At that time, everything we do today is in vain, and there is no point in showing off our prestige. Listen, Rengui, I'd rather fight desperately with the enemy with real knives and real guns than let you have a dark enemy with a smile but hatred for you! - The latter is 10,000 times more dangerous than the former!"
"I see..." Xue Rengui took a long breath, "Think carefully. It's really the same thing. I always listen to Bo Buqin and others say how amazing and arrogant it is to be. This time, it was suddenly so abnormal that he had such a far-reaching intention and intention! - He dared to use his own life to exchange it for what Beiting needed! If the garqinling is a hero on the plateau, then the mud is the hero in the desert! Both of them have the same profound strategy and amazing courage!"
"Compared with the Chalqin Mausoleum, the ability to use troops is worse, but the ability to seek the country may be stronger." Qin Mubai gently flirted with the corners of his mouth and said, "But... he's really old. It's time to rest!"
Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't think they are as good as you!"
"Haha, you flatter me too much!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Ren Gui, guess, will you agree to the three conditions I put forward?"
"I think, I don't think so..." Xue Rengui thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning, didn't you agree to your conditions when Abandoned Zong and the Chalingling?"
Qin Mubai grinned, "Then what are you waiting for here, a vanguard general?"
"Yes! - I'll set out right away, one step ahead!"
"Let Zhao Tong lead the Fire God and take 20 Shenwu cannons to go with you." Qin Mubai's eyebrows sank, "In the first battle of the Western Regions, you must not only win, but also win beautifully!"
"Yes!"
Xue Rengui strode away.
Qin Mubai moved the unfinished chessboard back to the table. He put a black zi in his right index finger and middle finger, and pressed it on the chessboard with a "bang".
"Seal!--"
There was a smile on his face.
"Sip, do you treat me as a three-year-old child and play this kind of trick with me?" Qin Mubai sneered and said to himself, "You think I will only think about the revenge of killing my father at this time, right? If I just want to kill you, it's enough for me to send two assassins! - You underestimate me and my father too much. I know that my father died at your hands, but you are not my real enemy. This is not a personal feud between us. At most, you are a small role, worse than the garqinling.
"My real father-killing enemy is the whole Tibet and the whole Beiting, and even all the Western countries that are enemies of the Tang Dynasty!"
"To deal with the real enemy, I will never tolerate it!!"
Xue Rengui straightened up the soldiers and horses with firearms, and immediately stood by the Suihe River Bridge waiting for the messenger to come back.
In the evening, the messenger's carriage came back. Xue Rengui immediately asked on the bridge, "What's the result?"
The messenger did not say anything, but only showed his head from the carriage, and his face was covered with blood. Xue Rengui took a closer look, and he actually had his ear cut off!
"How can it be! - As expected by the young marshal, the Beiting has no sincerity to surrender at all!" Xue Rengui was furious, and Fang Tian painted a halberd in his hand and waved his finger - "Let's go! Stepping on the Gongyue City!"
In the tooth tent, the messenger stood in the middle with his fist in his fist and reported to Qin Mubai the details of Gongyuecheng's party.
To put it simply, the people of Beiting are mad and angry. All the generals will kill the messengers of the Kansai army and vent their anger and fight to the death. However, the mud sip said that the two armies did not fight, so he cut an ear and fed the hounds, and then let the man back to humiliate Qin Mubai.
"Young commander, the last general has not fallen into the military prestige, and has not damaged the national prestige!" The messenger hugged his fist and said, "When they cut the last general's ears, the last general not only did not struggle, but also stood up straight and asked them to cut without blinking his eyelids. While cutting the general, he said to the mud, one day, the young commander will hold his head to pay tribute to the old marshal of our Kansai army!"
"There's guts!" These two words burst out from between Qin Mubai's teeth. He got up and walked to him and patted him on the shoulder twice. "Go down and heal! - If there is that day, I will let you do it yourself and sip the mud!"
"Xie Shaoshuai!" The messenger repeated his fists and strode with his head held high.
Bo Buqin and the literary ministers and generals in Nanting were all frightened and awe-inspiring.
"The Kansai Army... is really an extraordinary powerful division! A marching small school with a low official position can also be so generous and majestic!"
Qin Mubai took a deep breath and exhaled for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Order - the whole army of the Kansai army will be launched; within five days, take Gongyue City for me!"
Yuwen Hongtai and other generals under the seat "No--" had already been anxious and answered loudly together.
"Young Commander Qin, wait!" Bo Buqin hurriedly got up and walked to Qin Mubai. He also waved to a general and said to Qin Mubai, "Chu Shaoshuai, this is Hu Luwu, the leader of Hu Lu's department. He was injured in the battle, and he just recovered today to see the young commander.
"See Commander Qin!" Hu Luwu hurried to see the salute, which was quite a little frightened.
"It's like this." Bo Buqin said, "Recently, I and General Hu Luwu cleaned up the remnants and integrated soldiers and gathered about 100,000 people. Poor my 20s and 30 coalitions, and now there is less than half left... I have discussed with General Hu Luwu that we are willing to give these 100,000 horses to the young commander, and from then on, we will do our best for the young commander!"
"The last general is willing to take the horse for the young commander!" Hu Luwu fell down even more.
Qin Mubai helped Hu Luwu up with a slight smile, bowed back to Bo Bu Qin, and said, "Now in this extraordinary period, I won't say anything polite to Khan and the leader. After you keep the soldiers and horses defending the city by yourself, the rest of the people and horses will join forces with me, and it will be under unified command! - Today, let's go on an expedition against Gongyue City together!"
"Wish to listen to the punishment!"
"Immediately - let's go!!!"
