lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

Cleaning up the battlefield, rectifying public security in the city, and taking back the cattle and sheep that were robbed and scattered, these things continued for several days. There are words in the art of war, and those who know the soldiers are not good at fighting. Even if it is defeated, what remains behind is a mess that is difficult to deal with. Wounded soldiers, attrition, confusion, none of them is easy to solve.

The battle of Shancheng has been nearly a month since Xue Wanjun sent troops to the present. Nearly all three thousand generals led by Xue Wanjun were killed in battle. The pasture farmland in Shancheng suffered great losses, public security in the city fell into chaos, the people panicked, and spring ploughing production was once stagnant...

Qin Mubai didn't reprimand Xue Wanjun for sarcasm, but let the facts make him feel sad and contrite-eager for work and fighting, this is the result!

Xue Wanjun has nothing to say, lying on the sickbed every day without leaving the house. He was even a little afraid to face those comrades-in-arms and colleagues, and the people in the city. Later, he wrote a petition and a resignation form. They were sent to the governor Qin Shubao, and to the court.

Qin Shubao was in Lanzhou when he received a good news from Qin Mubai, and he felt relieved. Followed by a petition, which made him feel even more proud. The Xue brothers have always been rebellious and disobeyed the Qin family for a long time. This time, it was the fact that he slapped him and convinced him. It is estimated that in the future, he will not dare to make another attempt. Xue Wanjun is Xue Wanche's father and the leader of that faction. Subduing him is tantamount to subduing the Xue faction. From then on, the Shang Qin clan in Lanzhou was respected, and it was just around the corner.

A few days later, Li Shimin received several battle reports from Lanzhou and Xue Wanjun's resignation list.

Xue Wanjun was defeated and lost three thousand elite troops. Shancheng suffered a lot of damage. After that, Qin Mubai defeated the Tubo people and killed thousands of enemies, tried to protect Shancheng and quickly carried out the aftermath work to further reduce the disaster, and Soon Shancheng was back on track to resume production.

Compare the two and make a judgment on the pros and cons!

Xue Wanjun is indeed guilty of breaking the military order, and the second is mainly because he has no place to show himself before handing in his dictionaries.

Although Li Shimin is not in Lanzhou, he has a thorough analysis of the situation inside. Naturally, he would not agree with Xue Wanjun's resignation, so he made an order to commend and reward generals such as Qin Mubai, and at the same time comfort Xue Wanjun with "victory or defeat". Then the military law was ruthless, and the sanctions were still sanctions, so he symbolically demoted Xue Wanjun to the first rank, the first rank, and the number of titles. His minister "General Zuo Weiwei" was changed from a real official to a prosecutor. Still in charge of the original position, guilty and meritorious service, to see the aftereffects.

Originally, Li Shimin didn't want to interfere too much in Lanzhou's military and internal affairs. The Qin and Xue factions are evenly matched, which is a good thing for him. But the reality was before him, Xue Wanjun was not up for the spirits, and his teacher was humiliated so that the disaster in Shancheng was not small. Qin Mubai was ordered to turn the tide and make great achievements. Who should be rewarded and who should be punished at a glance. So Li Shimin had no choice but to do so.

When the imperial decree reached Shancheng, Qin Mubai was in the general's mansion, taking care of military and political affairs instead of Xue Wanjun, who was seriously injured and recuperating. After receiving the imperial decree, Qin Mubai only smiled slightly, knowing the emperor's intentions fully. The emperor has the emperor's mind. According to the general rewards and punishments, Xue Wanjun, a general who violated the military order and made propositions, so that he suffered a big defeat, would have long been able to behead his head. Even if he thinks about his previous work, it is at least a demoted official exile. The emperor didn't want the balance of power in Lanzhou to be too deviated, so he leniently sent out Xue Wanjun "extremely" and gave a symbolic punishment.

Thinking about this level, Qin Mubai didn't want to stay in Shancheng for a long time, lest he lose a reputation for taking advantage of the danger. He wrote to Qin Shubao and asked him to issue a military order in the name of the governor to temporarily transfer Xue Wanche's brother Xue Wanche to Shancheng to take over his brother's military power. As for Liangzhou, Xue Wanjun himself appoints a competent person to take over temporarily.

For several days, Shancheng's "butt" has been almost wiped clean, and Qin Mubai can indeed leave without worry. It's not that he doesn't worry about the Tubo people going back and making troubles, he is more concerned about the production and people's livelihood here. Seeing that everything was back on track, Qin Mubai took Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai and other generals, leading the troops away.

Xue Wanche heard that the life and death of his brother in Shancheng's defeat was unpredictable. He was already anxious and wanted to fly his wings to Shancheng for assistance. If it were not for military orders, how could he wait until today? After receiving Qin Shubao's transfer order, he rushed over, feeling a little grateful in his heart.

The brothers finally met.

Xue Wanjun lay on the sick bed and sighed: "Second brother, Brother Yu, this time, it's really shameful to throw him home!"

"Brothers don't have to blame themselves. Victory and defeat are commonplace. When the brothers recover, our two brothers will send troops to conquer Dafeichuan and vowed to take down the Tubo camp and avenge the elder brother!" Xue Wanche gritted his teeth.

"No, no, never!" Xue Wanjun waved his hand again and again and said, "Brother Yu said that he was embarrassed, but it was not because of defeat. You and my brothers have been in the army for half their lives and have killed countless people, and they can afford a temporary victory. Hey! Hate! Only hate, brother Yu has no choice but to receive the great favor of Qin Mubairuo. From now on, you and my brother, I am afraid that in front of their father and son, they will not be able to lift their heads!"

"Brother, what are you talking about!" Xue Wanche said anxiously, "Didn't he just pick up a dead fish and fought a victory? A victory, who has never fought it? We brothers are not fighting for Datang. I won the battle for half my life! How come you can't hold your head up in front of their father and son?"

"Brother virtuous, you only know one, but you don't know the other." Xue Wanjun said with a bitter face, "Qin Mubai, although he is young, is really well-versed in the art of war from Li Jing's true biography, unpredictable. It’s really not enough to just win the battle. Then, he played tricks on the Tubo army like an ignorant boy, but Brother Yu was really convinced! Moreover, after just a few days, he reorganized his posture to quickly get Shancheng back on track. To minimize the disaster of Brother Yu’s defeat, we can’t refuse to accept this ability!—Furthermore, how can Brother Yu’s defeat be dealt with by the emperor? Because of the disaster after the defeat, Qin Mubai reduced it to the limit. At the youngest, Brother Yu survived and died without military punishment. Could it be that I received the favor of his Qin Mubai? More directly, you don’t know Qin Shubao’s temperament. The subordinates defied the military order, and he is extremely difficult. Tolerance, not to mention the defeat of the teacher due to the resistance order, it is undoubtedly a killer. If it were not for Qin Mubai's guarantee in front of his father, Brother Yu would have been a dead soul under the sword, let alone today!"

After hearing this, Xue Wanche shook his head helplessly, and let out a long sigh: "Skills are not as good as humans, you can only recognize it!"

"Originally, Qin Shubao was no more than a martial artist. At best, he was equal to my brothers and fearless." Xue Wanjun said, "His son, Qin Mubai, is the best. Now we should also know. After realizing it, the emperor sent him with far-reaching plans. From now on, the lord of Lanzhou must be Qin Mubai!"

"No way? He is so young that he can coordinate the frontier and manage the rivers and rivers?" Xue Wanche was surprised, "I believe it is Li Jinglai instead."

"You still believe it." Xue Wanjun smiled bitterly, "I can only look up to this kid's ability and ambition. In other words, if he wants to kill us, it's just a matter of overturning his hands. This Once he let me off with grievances with virtue, and we will have to get to know each other a little bit later."

"Fine!" Xue Wanche sighed, "Fool Xiang Wu advocates, everything depends on the brothers!" "Well, these words are not enough for outsiders to listen to. Since you have come to Shancheng to take over my position, Concentrate on rectifying the military to restrain the people, and fulfill the decree of the governor's house!" Xue Wanjun sighed, "Concentrate on farming, don't think about going out. I think their father and son have plans in their hearts. When it's time to fight, they will naturally think of us. Of."

"Okay! Just listen to my brother!"

Qin Mubai led his army back to Lanzhou, and the people in the city greeted each other in a street, which was extremely lively. He rode into the city on a horse, and he was treated as a hero.

Qin Shubao was extremely happy to receive his son. This time, Qin Mubai's face was so big that he was more happier than he had won a big victory by himself. Therefore, he held a celebration banquet for the victorious soldiers in the military commander's account, and it was a lively event.

After the wine was half full, the father and son returned to the room. Qin Shubao took out a letter and said: "San Lang, here is a letter from your family, from your mother."

"Oh?" Qin Mubai took a look and said in surprise: "Mother and sister are coming to Lanzhou too?"

"Yes!" Qin Shubao said, "The memorial that you asked the people to enter Lanzhou was immediately implemented after the court approved it. The family members of the soldiers of the three armies are not a few, so they moved to Lanzhou in batches. This first one Pi, naturally belongs to the military in the two capitals of Guanli. Aren’t your mother and sister belong to the military?"

"What does father mean?" Qin Mubai asked.

"Don't come anymore." Qin Shubao answered decisively.

Qin Mubai nodded, without objection. He understood what his father meant, not because he didn't want to miss his wife and daughter at home, but because he wanted to reassure the emperor and avoid suspicion. Just imagine, the family moved to Lanzhou, and Qin Shubao had no worries about the future. In case something really happened someday, he could stand on his own.

Leaving my mother and sister in Chang'an has a lot of meaning as "hostages".

"Your two brothers also wrote to you, saying that you want to come to Lanzhou together. I also refused." Qin Shubao also said.

"Um... also good."

"San Lang, it's not easy to be a king, and it's not easy to be a minister!" Qin Shubao sighed, "We must contribute to the country and share the worries of the king, but also prevent the king from suspicion. Otherwise, great things will not happen. I will wait for the martial artist. It’s not a pity to die when serving the country. The only thing worth worrying about is that we must not affect the country’s grand plan just because of these small and subtle things. It is not advisable to lose the big because of the small!"

"Father is so determined to serve the country, and I admire him!" Qin Mubai praised sincerely.

"How old I am...Although I am very ambitious, but after all I feel some powerlessness." Qin Shubao patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, "Lanzhou, Guanlong and even the Western Regions, the future is still counting on you. I will tell you These are hopes that you will do your best and forget your own, and don't mislead the country's major events because of your own personal interests."

"Yes, the child took it down." Qin Mubai bowed his hands and bowed.

"That's right." Qin Shubao remembered something and said, "Your book boy, Qin Shi, went back to the Dudu's Mansion to look for you a few days ago. Maybe there was something important. The old man asked him, but he refused to say. I will only tell you one person. Just keep your mind."

"Yeah, I see." Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel bright in his heart: When he arrived in Lanzhou, Qin Shi and Tu Youhai brought more than a hundred skilled craftsmen with them, and disappeared from the sight of everyone. Under my secret order, they have been studying and casting red cannons in the iron mine area. Is it possible that there will be results?

Very good, I will see it myself tomorrow!
