[I had an operation on my eyes some time ago, and my eyes were swollen and painful and I couldn't look at the computer. ]

.

At dawn the next day, Qin Mubai got out of the bed in Gentle Township. Princess Gaoyang, who usually loves the most charming and wild, did not make trouble, but like a little wife, she personally called Qin Mubai for the first time in her life. Wash his face with water, and carefully arrange his armor and robe for him.

Qin Mubai was moved for a while, picked up the sacred beasts and exquisite twin crowns, which he had kept in the cabinet, and put on them. Princess Gao Yang was surprised when she saw it, and said with a grin: "Mu Bai, when do you like to fiddle with this kind of thing? What a long two peacock tails. They wobbled as they walked, but they were pretty pretty. , With you."

Qin Mubai smiled, and said, "I'm going to order the swearer on the school field for a while. It's nothing for me to be conspicuous as the leader of the army, have you not seen it? Generally, the general only wears this thing when he is out for the swearer. I will definitely not wear them in battle, they all wear armor."

"Oh..." Princess Gao Yang nodded without understanding, thinking in her heart, it is not easy to show the speciality of the coach among thousands of people. Wearing such a tall hat with long feathers Maybe this is the intention!

Qin Mubai looked at himself in the mirror, but he actually felt quite funny. It was a bit like the look of Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms.

Actually, he accidentally thought of Chen Yan who hadn't seen him for a long time.

After the death of Cong Yaoer, Qin Mubai cherished his family, friends and confidantes. Now I'm going to go to the expedition, my mother, younger sister and brothers are all here, Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang will definitely see off, and I can see my father when they go to Lanzhou, but Chen Yan has been silent.

So putting on the double crown that she presented is a longing!

In a short while, a hundred guards of the Hundred Horses, Su Dingfang, brothers Qin Tong Qin Bin, and Wu Meiniang all came. Qin Mubai had also eaten the breakfast prepared by his mother and was about to go out.

The mother of a thousand miles away is worried. When she left, Mother Qin inevitably shed tears again, and she urged Qin Mubai to take care of his body when going out, and asked him to take care of his elderly father so that he would not be able to do so. . Qin Mubai was soothing for a while, and finally let his mother stop crying.

Qin Mubai faced the two elder brothers, and he followed his father on an expedition, and the family should entrust the two elder brothers to take good care of him. The two signed a contract and agreed, and the eldest brother Qin Tong also said: "Third brother, you can go out with peace of mind! When you arrive in Lanzhou, Haosheng will serve your father well. Here in Chang'an, you don't have to worry about it. This time you won’t die, I The Qin family must have a blessing. After the princess said a word to me that day, I suddenly woke up. Starting today, your eldest brother will save his life, and will also protect the safety and glory of our old Qin family. Today, the eldest brother will make a poisonous oath in front of you, your mother and the princesses. After you leave, if there is any mistake in the old Qin family, Qin Tong will apologize!"

"Big Brother, don't have to be so serious." Qin Mubai smiled, "What did the princess tell you that made you touch this?"

Qin Tong's expression was very serious. He bowed to Princess Gao Yang and said, "When the princess went to the palace to see you that day, I stopped her from letting her in. She told me, I am Li Linger can still give up the princess for Qin Saburo. Don't do it and don't want her life. Are you big brother still reluctant to be the deputy envoy of Baiqi?"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was silent, and they all looked at Princess Gao Yang.

Princess Gao Yang's face flushed immediately, and she smiled a little embarrassingly: "Big brother, don't take it to your heart, I was... I was so angry and talked nonsense."

"No, you said it very well." Qin Tong said, "As a family, you have to hug it firmly. A chopstick is easy to break, and a bundle of chopsticks is not so easy. I am the eldest brother. In fact, I should be very ashamed. For so many years, I have not added glory to the old Qin family. When facing a crisis, first of all I only think about my life and death, my wife and children, and I am afraid of life and death. My parents gave me this. With a dignified appearance, I am inferior to the little girl who has no power to bind a chicken. Hey... ashamed! Saburo, go to Lanzhou with peace of mind! After that, the old Qin family entrusted me and your second brother to take care of me. . Do you two have other abilities to be brothers? It’s always okay to be a watchdog!"

"Big brother is serious!" Qin Mubai replied, "Big brother and second brother are taking care of the house in Chang'an, so the younger brother can safely follow his father on the battlefield. Okay, let's stop talking about it, I should go." /

As soon as Qin Mubai said the last four words, Qin's mother, Shuang'er, and Princess Gaoyang's eyes turned red unconsciously. Princess Gao Yang grabbed Qin Mubai's elbow, bit her lip, and said bitterly, "Mubai, listen carefully. You must return triumphantly. If you lose one by then Root vellus hair, neither I nor the child in my stomach can spare you!"

"What, are you pregnant?" Qin Mubai was in a moment of panic, and immediately surprised, "When did it happen?"

There were many people around including Qin Mu and Shuang'er, and everyone looked at Princess Gao Yang in surprise and joy.

Princess Gao Yang blushed to the base of her neck, lowered her head and whispered: "What are you doing so loudly?...I don't know! Yesterday we weren't...like that, should we be pregnant?"

Qin Mubai and the people next to him were all dumbfounded. Qin Mubai coughed dryly and laughed: "Well, I promise you, I will return safely without a single hair!"

"Also, don't mess around with flowers outside!"

"What are you talking about!" Qin Mubai scowled and said, "I'm going out to fight, not traveling or being an official, really! There are only five big and three rough men in the barracks!"

"Hehe!" Princess Gao Yang snickered.

Qin Mubai said to Su Dingfang and Wu Meiniang again: "Brother, Meiniang, you must also hurry to prepare. I think that the court's preparation for Princess Wencheng's dowry is proceeding very quickly, so don't let you fall behind. Brother, I will give you half of the Hundred Horse Guards, who are specially used to protect the father and daughter of King Jiang Xia personally. In addition, there are three thousand iron riders to protect you. Mei Niang, you have to hurry up when preparing food and grass."

"Don't worry." The two of them agreed to the promise together, and Wu Meiniang said, "This time the Zheng family is also fully dispatched. The branch offices of the commercial banks in all states and counties are intensively raising grain and grass. The two capitals within the pass can be collected. The people are gathering, and the chariots and horses are almost ready. With the solid backing of the Zheng family, you don’t have to worry about anything."

Qin Mubai thought for a while, nodded and said: "I am not worried about their financial, material and manpower. But I have a request, you have to follow me."

"You speak."

Qin Mubai said: "You don't have to go personally when escorting the grain and grass."

Wu Meiniang's eyes widened slightly, and some displeasure flashed, she lowered her brow, and said, "It depends on the situation then, I can't promise you now."

Qin Mubai opened his mouth and prepared to say something. When there were too many people in the room, he had to suppress it and nodded and said, "It's okay. You save time by yourself, and I will not force you-ok Now, that’s it, everyone, I’m leaving!"

"Good to go!"

"Take care!"

"Remember to come back soon!"

……

Stepping on the Fire Cloud War Horse, Qin Mubai left this string of warnings and concerns behind him, and with fifty guards of the Hundred Cavalry, he left Chang'an City and went straight to the barracks.

The assembly of 10,000 elite cavalry with iron armor has been completed, and a general and sacrificial platform have been set up on the field of the colonel. The ceremonial ceremony will be presided over by the Jian Guojin King with the assistance of Chu Suiliang. Lian Fang Xuanling, Li Ji and Wei Chijing De, Cheng Zhijie and other important civil and military officials also came.

Qin Mubai took a look, but Changsun Wuji did not come.

After the sacrifice, Chu Suiliang read out a copy of the emperor's essay and bestowed the banner of Qin Mubai. On the one hand, it is to publicly clarify the identity of the coach to give authority, and on the other hand, it is also to boost the morale of the army.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Mubai whispered to King Jin Li Zhi next to him, saying: "King Jin, I have a small matter to ask you."

"Teacher, please." Li Zhi said very politely.

"When the cabinet meeting was at the most critical juncture that day, Fang Xuanling suddenly appeared to support our main station faction, and the Feng Shui reversal gave us great help. I remember he said that a scholar was out The story of going to school is a metaphor for the war in Lanzhou." Qin Mubai asked, "At that time, he said that he had listened to this story with the emperor. I am curious, who told them this story? The Emperor’s sickbed. Before, few people could get in. It was always Chu Suiliang, right? Fang Xuanling said, none of us can guess who is telling this story. Can you guess?"

"I don't need to guess, because I know!" Li Zhi smiled honestly, "It's Sizi!"

"Ah, Princess Jinyang?" Qin Mubai said in amazement, "No one can guess that indeed!-It's weird, Princess Jinyang is young, how could she tell such a story? Wrong, Someone must have told her first!"

"Hey, mentor, you are so smart. Someone told her this story first." Li Jin glanced at the left and right warily, lowered his voice and said, "This person, then no one can guess. Absolutely. ."

Qin Mubai twisted his brows and whispered: "Could it be... the Qingshan master of Tianguo Temple?"

"Ah!" Li Zhi screamed out in shock, "My teacher...how did you know?"

"Guess it." Qin Mubai smiled and said lightly.

Li Zhi looked at Qin Mubai with wide eyes in surprise, and muttered: "It's incredible! How could you guess it?... That day, I was boring and I was hanging out in the back garden with Sizi. I was encountering Concubine Yin De. She invited me and I to go to Huguo Tian Wang Temple for a walk, and we went. Later, there was a Qing Shan master from Tian Guo Temple to tell us stories. Si Zi was smart and had a good memory. Seriously, I was able to repeat it word-for-word after listening. Concubine Yin De and Master Qingshan both praised. Later, after returning, Si Zi said with joy that he would go back and tell the story to his father. I didn’t care. , She went to talk about it. That's how it happened."

"Oh, I know." Qin Mubai smiled lightly and nodded, and said in his heart: After such a big bend, it turns out that Concubine Yin De was helping me secretly...When I was leaving, what did I do? Didn't you say goodbye to her?

"King Jin, can I ask you to do something?" Qin Mubai said.

"My teacher please give me your orders."

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. I have a close relationship with Master Qingshan. She promised that she would gilt the Buddha statue in Tianwang Temple. Now I am leaving Chang'an. I am afraid of this. If the delay is forgotten, you can do it for me! How much is it, go to Wu Meiniang."

"My mentor, you can tell me so. The Tianwang Temple is a royal temple. How can I ask you to pay?" Li Zhi said with a sharp glance, "Don't worry, I will do this when I go back. I will do it too. I don’t use the imperial treasury, but I will spend it from my private money. I will tell Master Qingshan that it was done in the name of a teacher."

"Well, then I would like to thank you." Qin Mubai didn't bother with him and thanked him with a smile. Xindao, in this way, Concubine Yin De and Master Qingshan should also know my thanks to them... That little Sizi, full of aura, is really lovely. Li Shimin was right. If Si Zi was born as a boy, it is estimated that the errands of this successor would probably be nothing to do with people like Li Zhi and Li Tai.

Some ceremonies, such as the sacrificial ceremony and the Zhuang army, took place for about an hour. The day was clear and the auspicious time had come, and the army finally set out.

When Qin Mubai just mounted his horse and was about to wield his army and leave, a quick horse **** rushed in from the gate with a military report in his hand. Chu Suiliang stepped forward to catch him, and his face was immediately happy. He first took a look with Jin Wang Li Zhi, and then the two of them walked to Qin Mubai's horse and said, "General Qin, good luck! The army will have a victory when it goes out. Good luck!"

"What good news?" Qin Mubai asked.

"His Master led 20,000 fine horses on the west expedition. Lien Chan Sixteen Victory has left Yangguan to regain Yumen, and the army has reached Pu Changhai. I believe that at the same time that we received this good news, he has already taken down Gu Loulan and finished his army I'm studying in Gaochang!"

"Mighty! Mighty! Commander Qin is mighty!" The soldiers of the three armies were greatly excited after hearing the victory and cheered loudly.

Qin Mubai took the good news from Chu Suiliang and looked at it, both happy and worried. Needless to say joy, the old Jifu has been inspiring for thousands of miles, the martyrs are full of enthusiasm in their old age, and the old father Qin Shubao's prestige is not diminished. The worry is that this long-range raid for a thousand miles and a few dozen battles has been exhausted. My father is relatively old, and is he physically weak? Moreover, a brigade of cavalry lonely penetrates into the hinterland of Gaochang, how can it be defeated by the enemy?

Chu Sui's conscience is as thin as a hair, obviously he can see Qin Mubai's mind. He glanced at the inspired soldiers around him, and said in a low voice: "General Qin don't have to worry. Yi Guo Gong is still invincible back then, and he also has Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai as auxiliary wings. Yumen Pass is already under the rule of the Lanzhou Metropolitan Government of Tang Dynasty. As long as the follow-up supplies and reinforcements are horns of each other in time, they will be able to stay in the camp step by step and never miss."

"Yeah." Qin Mubai nodded, admiring Chu Suiliang's calmness and wisdom in his heart, and said to him, "Of course the victory of the former army is the best news. I'm just worried about whether my father's body will survive. Furthermore, the Lanzhou Dudufu had a vast area and a long front. Although there were 100,000 troops under the Dudufu, if the Tubo harassed it, it is estimated that Lanzhou’s military strength would be overwhelming. Furthermore, my father’s expedition was outside Lanzhou. Lord, although Xue Wanjun is a member of the battlefield, but the overall situation is not good, I am not optimistic about the ability to deploy troops and condemn generals. Whether he can mobilize all the troops in Lanzhou in time and deploy reasonable defenses to meet my father's front army is still unknown. ."

"General Qin is very worried." Chu Suiliang gently stroked his beard, his eyes lit up, and said, "Since the general is worried about this, why don't you think of a solution?"

"It makes sense!" Qin Mubai was awakened by a single word. He saw King Jin standing aside and stepped off his horse to say to him, "King Jin, I want to ask you an important military affairs event!"

"Ask for leave." Li Zhi said seriously.

Qin Mubai bowed his hand and said: "The minister asked the Jin Dynasty to issue a pardon after returning to the court. Yumen Pass and Puchanghai, the original Shancheng, Liangzhou, and Kunlun Mountains pass can temporarily reduce the military strength. That is to say, let him abandon the original military bases and expand the Lanzhou defense line, and use Yangguan, Yumenguan, Puchanghai and the original Dafeichuan is the main military powerhouse."

Li Zhi blinked his eyes and looked a little dazed, and asked Chu Suiliang next to him urgently: "Chu Zhongshu, do you remember it clearly?"

"The ministers have heard clearly and remembered clearly." Chu Suiliang replied with a smile on his face.

Qin Mubai smiled bitterly: This Li Zhi is indeed a bit dull!

"Well, don't worry, my mentor. After Xiao Wang returned to the court, he made a decree from Chu Zhongshu and sent 800 li to Lanzhou in a hurry, so that Xue Wanche can execute it immediately without error!" Li Zhi formally said.

"Thank you King Jin!" Qin Mubai sighed lightly, clasped his fists and thanked him, and then mounted his horse.

Li Zhi, Chu Suiliang and other civil and military officers will stand on the stage of the commander and watch the army go away.

Li Zhi asked Chu Suiliang next to him, and whispered: "Chu Zhongshu, just now, should this will be determined by my father's approval or my uncle?"

Chu Suiliang twisted his brows lightly and said: "His Royal Highness, please forgive your ministers to say something against you. Since you are the prince of the prison, if you can decide on such trivial matters, you can take it yourself! You need to be respected there, but you don’t have to bother them with current affairs. Otherwise, why should they let you come to prison?"

"Yes, also..." Li Zhi smiled a little embarrassed and ashamed, and said, "It is better to do less than to do more. This matter...this king, let it be the master!"

"Your Highness is wise." Chu Suiliang arched his hands, but secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Qin Mubai led the army and has been walking all the way for three or four days. On that night, the army set up camp and prepared to take a break. A scout came from the front, holding the military intelligence bulletin ahead, and went straight to the army and said that they would change their horses.

Qin Mubai asked what kind of military situation the scout was, but the military report of Qin Dadu in front of him? The scout was the Lanzhou Military Academy who naturally recognized Qin Mubai, so he hurriedly replied yes, and took the military report to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai was shocked to see this military report!

It turned out that after Qin Shubao led an army of 20,000 elite cavalry troops to the west, after the 16th victory, the soldiers went straight to the ancient country of Loulan. Here, it encountered strong resistance from the Tubo and Gaochang coalition forces. A tragic battle began. Vanguard Xue Rengui only led three thousand iron armors into the coalition of more than 20,000. After fighting hard for more than two hours, the three thousand vanguards were almost destroyed and only a hundred guards were left. Xue Rengui still fought stubbornly. With the help of his valiant force, he killed several back and forth among the enemy army, and slashed a dozen or so members of the enemy generals, making the enemy generals frightened and no one dared to show their edge. Just as Xue Rengui was all killed in the battle, the old marshal Qin Mubai led a powerful army to kill him, and defeated the enemy coalition forces in one go, chasing and killing the enemy for more than 60 miles and beheading more than 4,000!

In this battle, Xue Rengui relied on three thousand exhausted soldiers to resist more than 20,000 enemy troops. He fought hard for more than two hours, and obtained an excellent rest time for Qin Shubao's main force. After the war, Datang lost about four thousand soldiers, more than half of the enemy coalition forces suffered nearly ten thousand casualties, and more than ten generals were damaged. Gao Changguo even lost the coach and a prince.

After this battle, the deployment of Tubo troops in Gaochang and Helong was completely disintegrated; Gaochang's vitality was severely injured, and Gaochang Wang Wentai was shocked by the bad news and could not afford to be sick, so that his son, Zhizhisheng, was in charge of the country. Qu Zhisheng was afraid of Qin Shubao's military might, and the Tubo people lost their support in a hurry, so he personally went to the Tang barracks to confess to Qin Shubao.

Qin Shubao's army is still hundreds of miles away from Gaochang, and Gaochang has fallen!

Along with the good news, they were sent to Chang'an, along with a letter from Gaochang Wang Yuwentai's surrender, as well as the hukou native cattle and sheep miscellaneous books, etc., to show that Gaochang was attached to the Tang Dynasty.

……

After reading these things, Qin Mubai placed them gently, wrinkled his brows and let out a sigh, secretly said: Father is mighty! Rengui mighty! The battle for Loulan, Gaochang's overall situation has been determined. It is a great regret in my life that I failed to participate in this war personally, and failed to witness the tragic and heroic scene at that time...

Datang Qin Qiong, the veteran is not dead!
