I didn't wait until the third day, that night, something that surprised Xue Wanche happened.

At that time, Qin Mubai rejected Xue Wanche's proposal to go to a restaurant in the city to have dinner, instead eating light meals and drinking wine in the post house, and the two discussed some military affairs.

At this moment, Hou Junji came to visit Qin Mubai on his own initiative.

Xue Wanche said in amazement: "It's really here! Unbelievable!"

"It's nothing strange. I know what he is thinking. No matter how much he pretends, it's futile." Qin Mubai smiled, "Come on, please take Hou Sima to the table and keep your seat."

Hou Junji came in, and looked at Qin Mubai and Xue Wanche left and right. They neither saluted nor greeted them. They stood abruptly in the hall and said flatly: "If the chief governor returns to Lanzhou, can he take Hou Mou Go?"

"Yes." Qin Mubai agreed without thinking.

"So, Hou is leaving." Hou Junji turned around and left.

Xue Wanche was stunned, and suddenly showed upset and wanted to stop Hou Junji. Qin Mubai put his hand to stop him, letting Hou Junji go away.

"This person has no respect, it's too rude!" Xue Wanche gritted his teeth, "When you enter the hall, you don't even care about the most basic etiquette, and you don't have a title or a name, just like a wild man!"

"A man who is not obsessed with trivial matters, why bother about it." Qin Mubai smiled nonchalantly, "Every day there are no less than a thousand people arrogant to me. What's the point? Hou Junji is an upright and fierce person. Come hypocritical and polite. If he treats someone with courtesy and respect, he respects him from the bottom of his heart."

"Why did he go to Lanzhou with the marshal?" Xue Wanche asked curiously.

"It's me, and I will do the same." Qin Mubai smiled, "If one day you want to confide in someone you want to live and work together, General Xue, what kind of person would you choose?"

"Of course it is someone I know and trust very well." Xue Wanche replied without thinking.

"Isn't that right?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Judging from Hou Junji's current situation, he doesn't dare to make any decisions easily. If he moves slightly, it may be It affects life and even the family. To me, it is just a soldier in Lanzhou; but for him, it is about life and death. Now he doesn't understand me at all, how can he exchange his life with me? If you want to follow me to Lanzhou, you just want to get close to me and get to know me."

"So that's it!" Xue Wanche suddenly realized, "It seems that Hou Junji is indeed not so frustrated and lazy on the surface! He can still think so carefully, which shows that he has his own calculations. One is dead. People can't do this."

"So I said, Hou Junji is not reconciled, he still has great ambitions." Qin Mubai turned the wine glass and smiled playfully, "He is like being locked in a cage. Tiger. Even if he falls asleep, he will not become a cat. As for when he wakes up, it depends on who, and when will he open the cage!"

Xue Wanche nodded thoughtfully, and said: "However, the person who opened the cage may become the owner of this tiger, or he may be the first to be eaten by him!"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "I would like to try."

Two days later, Qin Mubai Qixing left Liangzhou and called Hou Junji when he was leaving.

"Is the chief governor going back to Lanzhou?" Hou Junji said coldly.

"Don't worry about going back to Lanzhou. I'm going to Dafeichuan first to inspect the army there and inspect the defense." Qin Mubai said, "Brother, if you wish, you can go together."

"Go and go, I don't care." Hou Junji said lightly, "I have been expelled from the teacher's door a long time ago, don't call me brother, I can't afford it anymore."

"Then please, Hou Sima." Qin Mubai smiled and said disapprovingly, "We will leave in half an hour, please prepare."

"Hou is a lonely and widowed family, and there is nothing to be prepared to leave at any time." Hou Junji said, "General Governor Ruoyun, I would like to bring two concubines who give me laundry and boiling water."

"It's up to you." Qin Mubai agreed casually.

Hou Junji smiled coldly and said: "You are not allowed to bring women or prostitutes with the army in the army. As a general soldier, don't you know? Why do you indulge in me so much?"

Qin Mubai glanced at him sideways and sneered: "Rules and statutes have always been used to restrict most people, not everyone. And you can be one of those few people. I. Happy, how about it?"

Hou Junji was obviously surprised for a moment, but immediately concealed the past, smiled sarcastically, and said: "It is indeed a little bit of tolerance and some human touches. You are better than Li Jing on this."

"The rules are dead, and people live. And the rules are made by people." Qin Mubai said calmly, "As long as I don't touch the bottom line and violate the important principles, I am a very good person."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly!" Hou Junji coldly dropped a sentence, and stopped talking.

Qin Mubai assembled the Hundred Cavalry Guards and left Lanzhou with Hou Junji, and went to the Dafeichuan Military Region for inspection.

There are several days' itinerary along the way, and Hou Junji has rare words. Walking and sleeping with Qin Mubai's soldiers, he was like a superfluous figure, never talking to anyone, he was neither lukewarm nor lukewarm towards Qin Mubai, as if he was always aloof.

Qin Mubai was also very calm, and rarely took the initiative to speak to him, allowing him to sit on the sidelines quietly. He knew that although Hou Junji was cold-spoken and independent, he had been paying close attention to and observing him. Qin Mubai's words and deeds all fell into Hou Junji's eyes.

Qin Mubai never dared to despise a character like Hou Junji. They have gone through half their lives in the troubled times of the military and military, both physically and mentally, and have experienced the tempering of blood and fire. In addition, they have read countless people. There is no doubt that the city is deep-sighted and old-fashioned. In front of such a person, any pretense and pretense is futile. His ability of insight and judgment will far exceed his own imagination.

Just like when facing the emperor Li Shimin and his father Qin Shubao, don't lose your sense by playing tricks. Be casual and sincere, just do these eight words.

Along the way, Hou Junji didn't say ten sentences. Qin Mubai didn't know what kind of evaluation he had in his mind, and didn't want to know. Twisted melons are not sweet after all. If he really has no relationship with him or does not have the leadership and personality charm to convince him, then even if he reluctantly agrees, it will not last long, or he will have a ghost.

In this case, it's better to go with the flow.

Dafeichuan is here. The battalion is purge, and the military posture is cool. Compared to when it was just built two years ago, it has added a lot of color.

"Xue Wanjun's ability to govern the army is really not bad." Qin Mubai felt it.

Hou Junji smiled coldly: "But so."

Qin Mubai glanced at him, and asked with interest: "Listen to this, Hou Sima has a slight remark on the arrangement of General Xue's camp?"

"The grass chicken formation, what can I say?" Hou Junji sneered, "This type of camp formation is a city that is a leader, and it is only worthy of resisting the Tubo barbarians. This camp formation is called ' After the wind holds the base camp, if you encounter a general who is familiar with the art of war, three thousand cavalry can break the battle."

"Can you?" Qin Mubai asked.

Hou Junji grinned tit-for-tat, and said provocatively: "Why don't you give you three thousand horses a try?"

"There are 40,000 soldiers here." Qin Mubai said sternly, "There is no joking in the army. If you can't break the battle, what shall you do?"

"Please behead my head." Hou Junji threw out these four words lightly, turned his face away, and stopped speaking.

Qin Mubai took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Come here, please come, General Xue Wanjun. The whole army is cleaned up, and three thousand cavalry are lighted up, and Hou Junji will lead his army to break the camp."

The hundreds of cavalry soldiers next to him were a little frightened. Three thousand cavalry will break through the camp of forty thousand troops. This is an almost impossible task. Although Hou Junji is a famous battlefield veteran, but the opponent Xue Wanjun is also extraordinary, how can he be so easily broken?

But Qin Mubai's military order has been issued, and the Hundred Cavalry Guards have to go to the barracks to invite Xue Wanjun and convey Qin Mubai's military order.

Xue Wanjun was surprised and delighted when he heard that Qin Mubai came to Dafeichuan suddenly. But after hearing such a weird military order, he couldn't help but change his face a little: "When did the marshal become such a trifling matter? Let Hou Junji break my camp and beat his own, no matter which side wins or loses, it is not good! "

Baiqi, who passed the order, could only smile bitterly, and said: "The young marshal always has ideas, and it is not for me to figure it out. Now that the order has been issued, General Xue, please implement it!"

Xue Wanjun had to gritted his teeth, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, and said: "Then execute the military order--Hou Junji, this bastard, is really deceiving me too much! Fighting back to this face in front of thousands of soldiers, how can I, Xue, stand up in the future?!——Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals and send troops!"

The big camp of tens of thousands of sergeants suddenly moved. The three armies are lined up with purge flags, and they are ready to fight. The three thousand cavalry that Hou Junji wanted were also counted, and Xue Wanjun personally led out of the camp and came to Qin Mubai.

Xue Wanjun ran forward, first glanced at Hou Junji coldly, and then bowed to Qin Mubai with a fist: "Marshal! The rectification of the soldiers and horses is complete, please give an order!"

Qin Mubai nodded, and said: "Hand over three thousand iron knights to Hou Jun, you return to the camp and prepare to defend against the enemy."

"If there is a casualty, what should I do?" Xue Wanjun gave Hou Junji a hard look and said in a deep voice.

"Hou a certain force." Hou Junji glanced back at him as his part, and said coldly, "Anyone who is marching in the war is still afraid of death and injury? If you Xue Wanjun is afraid of death, you can watch the battle with the marshal here. ; If your soldiers are afraid of death, they all go home to nurse their children."

"You!...Hou Junji, you don't want to deceive too much! If you lose in a short time, I see how you look good! ——Marshal, you will go back to the camp first!" Xue Wanjun was annoyed. Hou Junji glanced angrily before pulling his horse back.

Hou Junji looked at Xue Wanjun’s back and sneered again and again, and said: "This kind of deconstructed formation, can wilt stop me Hou Junji? Let alone three thousand elite cavalry, such a desolate formation, I am five Hundreds of swordsmen can also break it! Xue Wanjun, brave and brave, ingenious and inaccurate. These characters are not enough to stand alone and can be used as handsome talents, that is, a brash man who charges!"

"Don't speak big words too early." Qin Mubai smiled calmly and said, "Hosima, I know that you have been in the army for many years, and you are skilled in the use of soldiers and horses and are unique. It is also the true biography of your mentor Wei Gong. You are not weak in a rapid attack on the base. Qin did not learn skills with his mentor for long, but he is also familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the post-base camp. This camp can be said to be quite satisfactory. But it tends to get worse. It is something that seems ordinary, the more extraordinary it is. Hosima, you have to be careful."

"Huh!" Hou Junji sneered again, and said, "The wind will hold the base, and the weakness is in Sunda. If there is an elite teacher who raided from the Sunda position, his army will defeat himself. I don’t need a surprise attack anymore. I attacked and killed from Xunmen with the main soldiers. The governor of the city can go and inform Xue Wanjun that Hou Mou should retreat 15 miles from the north, and then lead soldiers and horses to enter through Xunmen after half an hour!"

After that, Hou Jun gathered his horse and left without wearing armor. He drew a spear in his hand and took the three thousand horses away.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, "It is indeed mad enough. But Hou Junji, Hou Junji, this large formation that holds its base after the wind, I personally set up. How can I know this? Wait for the advantages and disadvantages of the ordinary formation? If you let your 3,000 army break through my 40,000 soldiers barracks, someone from Qin will find a piece of steamed bread and kill him!"

Half an hour later, a drum horn sounded in the army to warn the enemy.

According to an example, the army should be ready to wind up the sword and arrow. But by the way, the 40,000 troops that had just gathered, instead scattered and went back to their respective camps, as usual, without the tense atmosphere of fighting for half a lifetime.

Fifteen miles away, Hou Junji immediately fired his gun and looked at the camp in the distance with a sneer.

"Xue Wanjun, great ambition and sparse talent; Qin Mubai, shallow vision. Today, Hou will let you open your eyes and know what war is!"

In the Dayingpan, at the Zhaizha in Sundan, two rows of thick gates like a carved castle wall were pulled apart, revealing patches of red cloth silk inside. Hundreds of sergeants stepped forward neatly, pulling the cloth silks apart one by one, exposing the black and cold long cannon barrels, pointing straight at the sky.

Qin Mu stood in front of the row of red-clothed cannons with white back and cut his hands.

Xue Wanjun said with hatred: "Hou Junji is too frivolous. Marshal, I don't want to bombard my brother with a red cannon."

"He stepped back fifteen miles, and he showed contempt for me." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "When he rushes to within ten miles, fire a hundred cannons, let him know why I can, use two Hundreds of people regained Dafeichuan. Let him know that in this world, apart from riding warfare, there is artillery warfare!"

"Just to my liking!"

Hou Junji took the lead and rushed forward. After a few months, Hou Junji could not help but feel a little enthusiastic. Although it was not a serious battle, it was like a hungry wild wolf smelling a strong smell of blood. The fighting spirit in his bones was all aroused, and his pride and wildness burst together.

Three thousand iron horses, under his leadership, galloped like a cloud.

Three thousand soldiers and horses broke the 40,000 large formation. This was an impossible task. But in Hou Junji's vision, it was as common as killing a chicken and cutting vegetables. Marching and fighting, like holding vegetables, has almost become his instinct.

"The soldiers are not many but are fine, and will not be courageous but planning. Xue Wanjun, Qin Mubai, you guys don't underestimate me, Hou!" Hou Junji muttered to himself, facing the harsh wind, There was a sneer and aloof sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The cavalry marched extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye they would be able to see the big camp.

At this moment, bursts of dazzling fiery red electric lights suddenly appeared in the midair, accompanied by billowing black smoke, bursting down the sky. Then, the deafening rumbling sound shook the sky!

Just three or five miles in front of the cavalry group, the landslides, broken rocks and flying, are as shocking as the mountains have collapsed!

Hou Junji, who was full of enthusiasm and passion, was almost taken aback. He hurriedly stopped and exclaimed: "Has the earth moved?!"

Looking back, the three thousand cavalry behind him was a stone's throw away from him, and it turned out to have stopped early. All the sergeants show fear and reluctance to move forward, panic and trembling!

"What's going on? What's going on?!" Hou Junji shouted in shock and anger, "What happened ahead? Why did you stand still? Retreating before the battle, that is a violation of military law. ! Is Xue Wanjun the soldiers that he brought?!"

A military academy came immediately, and patiently bowed his hand to Hou Junji and said: "General Hou, you don't know. This is the red-clothed Shenwu cannon of Dafeichuan who is showing great power. Hugh said It's a human body, even gold, iron, jade, and stone under its majesty. It will be broken into pieces!... I wait for my brother, I would rather be dismissed by the military law to at least save my whole body, rather than foolish step forward and fall into a **** and broken body! "

"What are you talking about? What kind of **** red Shenwu cannon?!" Hou Jun yelled furiously, took off his horse whip from the saddle and furiously lashed the military academy, "Go ahead! Follow me, charge!"

The military academy neither dodges nor resists, but rather abruptly let him lash out. It just looked at him coldly and said with a stern look: "The soldiers trained by Qin Shaoshuai and General Xue, there are no cowards. The end general is not afraid of death, but death must be worthwhile! As General Hou is the commander of the three armies and loves soldiers like a child, how can he let his brother jump into the fire pit? If General Hou wants to kill the end general, then he will do it. In any case, I will not allow the brothers behind to rush forward!"

"Boom——Rumble!"

Another row of artillery bombarded and killed, the sky and the earth shook, and the smoke billowed in front, like a volcano bursting out of the universe.

Hou Junji trembled all over, turned his head and watched the billowing smoke, his face was earth-colored and dumbfounded.

After three consecutive rounds, everything fell into silence, only the east wind whistling, rolling up billowing black smoke and dust.

Hou Junji stood on the horse, looking at the front and muttering to himself: "It turns out, the weakest place, the use of these gods and demons to defend... Hou Junji, ah Hou Junji, you are really in vain. Half a lifetime, even at an old age, you are still so frivolous!... Qin Jia Saburo, you have you! Today, it is not you Qin Saburo or Xue Wanjun that opens the eyes, but I Hou Junji, the frog at the bottom of the well!"

After shooting alone for a few miles, Hou Junji saw craters one by one, and there were still many remaining flames and a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

Imagining that these shells fell on him, Hou Junji had to shook his head and closed his eyes, "No matter how superb tactics, no matter how brave soldiers, how can you wait for Tianwei? "

A string of horseshoes sounded in the distance, and he walked around for a ride alone. Hou Junji took a closer look, and it was Qin Mubai.

He couldn't help but move his eyes a few times, a slight embarrassment appeared on his face, and he stood still.

Qin Mubai came forward immediately, looking at Hou Junji with a natural expression, without talking, just staring at Hou Junji uncomfortably.

"You won." After a while, Hou Junji spit out these three words, his face was a bit ugly, but his eyes were still awkward, and he said coldly, "Successful and defeated soldiers are commonplace, you...what red and what is it? To my surprise, he can be called the King of Raiders. Hou Mou was convinced to lose. You can take this life as you like."

"Heh!" Qin Mubai chuckled indifferently, and said, "You can only win if you can lose. Hou Junji, you do have a commander demeanor. Your life is still useful for me. I will leave it to you for the time being. You keep it."

Hou Jun Ji suddenly brightened his mind and said: "I have heard that you used this type of mysterious object to beat the Tubo soldiers and horses stationed in Dafeichuan to disperse their souls, and you regained it with hundreds of people. Right?"

The facts of the Great Feichuan World War in the past, and the existence of the Red Cannon are all high-level military secrets, and not many people know it. It is not surprising that Rao is a high-ranking official like Hou Junji, and he only knows the scales and claws.

Qin Mubai smiled lightly, and said: "To be more specific, two hundred artillery regained Dafeichuan. However, two hundred artillery alone can't do this. Just like, the only killing blade is that A shallow layer, but apart from the blade handle and the power of the sword, that bit of blade is useless. Do you understand what I mean?"

"You want Hou to be your blade and hilt?" Hou Junji stared at Qin Mubai and said.

Qin Mubai nodded and said, "The ruler is shorter, and the inch is longer. The red cannon is not always invincible. Otherwise, the Tubo flags will not be floating on the snowy plateau now. To charge into battle and destroy the city, we have to rely on the infantry horses of my Datang.

Hou Junji stared at Qin Mubai with a pair of eagle-hunting eyes, then suddenly sneered, shook his head and said, "Hou’s life is yours, but that doesn’t mean that I will sell for you. ."

At the end, he solemnly added, "I, don't agree!"

"It doesn't matter, one day, you will promise." Qin Mubai patted the saddle with a nonchalant smile, pointed his finger in the direction of the barracks, and said, "Go back to the camp. Good wine and meat are ready. Okay. The rumble of cannons just now is a salute to welcome us!"

Hou Junji took a long, dull breath and patted forward without saying a word. From the corner of his eyes, Qin Mubai glanced at Qin Mubai, as if he said to himself: "I admit that you won, but I didn't lose. There is anything else that surprises me that shocks me, just use it."

"Are you pleasantly surprised, are you shocked?" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Then I did win."
