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

In the middle of the night, the lights were still on in the study of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the figures were fascinating.

Qin Mubai stood alone in front of the big map, staring at it for a long time with a palm lamp and a back clip.

Lanzhou is facing a huge catastrophe that will hit the world. Dafeichuan, the war is coming soon. Although Gar Qinling is a barbarian, he is a famous general for a time. The old Daocheng Mansion is far-reaching and a strong enemy. The 200,000 plateau cavalry under his command should not be underestimated; at the same time, the vitality of Lanzhou has not been fully restored, the military and the people's livelihood are waiting to be flourished, and the strength is not strong. Right now, the only soldiers and horses Qin Mubai could take out, apart from the 50,000 defenders in Dafeichuan, were the 30,000 or 40,000 Zuoweiwei field troops led by the Hou Jun Ji outside Lanzhou City. There are less than 100,000 people in total, and less than half of them are recruits...

Qin Mubai's brow furrowed because it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

If it's just a difference in military strength, then it's nothing. In Gaochang, Pu Changhai, and Yuyang Erguan, a total of 50,000 Lanzhou elite teachers have been detained, and they are now quite passively falling into a huge trap, life and death are unpredictable. If this brigade is transferred back to Lanzhou, Qin Mubai will have full confidence and certainty to fight against Garqin Ling.

However, is it so easy to let go of the deliberate efforts of Garqin Mausoleum to lure the enemy to divide the main force in Lanzhou? He borrowed the knife to kill, used Western Turks and Gaochang and other Western countries to contain Qin Shubao's team, and then set fire to the backyard to take advantage of the fire... I have to admit that Gar Qinling's play was extremely beautiful, which was enough to demonstrate his good overall outlook and Sophisticated strategic deployment capabilities.

This time the war is no longer purely a battle between soldiers and horses. This is related to the overall trend of the entire Helong and Western Regions and the game of international forces.

Originally, all these major issues should be resolved by the Tang court. But now, all of them are pressed on Qin Mubai's shoulders. At the same time, it is difficult to say whether the court did not accept Qin Mubai's favor. It is estimated that in the end, he will be punished.

"Heh!..." Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, and couldn't help groaning, "The ocean is full of heroic qualities! I haven't done anything extraordinary for many years, and I've always been so awe-inspiring. I’m really tired! I’m ready to go to Garqin Mausoleum, come and let me go!"

"What a cross-sea is a hero!"

The door was suddenly opened, and Hou Junji walked in.

"Finally let me see your ambition and arrogance." Hou Junji looked at Qin Mubai with a sharp smile.

Qin Mubai put down the lamp and smiled indifferently, and said: "A man, without ambition and grievance, is he different from the walking dead?"

"You don't need to be sophistry." Hou Junji walked to a big chair next to Qin Mubai and sat down, and looked at him with his arms around his chest and tilted his head with interest, and said, "Tell me the truth, you Do you want to stand alone with your own strength?"

"Ghost talk." Qin Mubai sneered without comment.

"Don't be naive." Hou Junji said, "At this point, even if you stand on your own without separatism, you must support your soldiers and respect yourself. Otherwise, there will be a dead end."

"Do you mean to let me hold on to the power?"

"Of course." Hou Junji said, "I don't like to talk nonsense. You decided to fight Gal Qin Ling to the death. This courage and domineering make me admire. But I also want to advise you, don't let go. Fight. If you really lose cleanly, you will be at the end."

"What do you mean?" Qin Mubai squinted at him.

Hou Junji grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a sly smile: "The chief official of the border town, the marshal of the borders, all raise the bandits to make themselves fat. Everyone knows the truth that sly rabbits die and runaway dogs. This battle, if you really do The Erqin Mausoleum is all killed, and your path will come to an end. By the same token, if you are completely defeated, it will be even worse."

"Heh!..." Qin Mubai smiled, and he said, "Thank you for your kind reminder. But if I want to tolerate **** or hesitate to move forward, I won't be arbitrarily arbitrarily committed as I am now. Please order all arrangements to be sent to Chang'an, so why bother?"

"Qin Mubai, you really are a maniac arm as a car and you can't help yourself." Hou Junji sneered, "Do you think that you can compete with a Tubo dynasty and dozens of countries in the Western Regions? Don't be stupid! ——You must understand that when the court threw us people in Lanzhou, it has already regarded us as abandoned pawns. No matter who comes to Lanzhou, he will not ask for nothing but nothing."

"I understand this, but I am not the'no matter who it is'." Qin Mubai said, "Actually, this is not the emperor's original intention. The battle between the courts and the court is fierce, and the civil servants are in charge of the court's mouthpiece, Your Majesty In order not to arouse conflicts between the two factions, the implementation of Lanzhou’s military plan has to be temporarily slowed down."

"Your Majesty, you can't solve all the problems." Hou Junji suddenly interrupted Qin Mubai's words, and said, "You are not in the center, and you don't understand the subtleties. Think about it, your Majesty can do anything. The decision was made, and where did the many disturbances and disputes come from? For example, the Prince Li, his Majesty did not know how much he wanted to abolish the prince and set up the King of Wei, but the result? Didn’t your Majesty know that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was weak in nature and had little aptitude, but the result, now It is King Jin who supervises the State Council. What does this show?-In the face of the overall situation, even the Emperor is powerless. I only mean one thing when I tell you so much-don't be too naive to treat you. The father-in-law emperor used it as a talisman to avoid death. Zhuge Liang even smashed the horse with tears, what do you count?"

"Don't worry, I'm not so naive yet." Qin Mubai looked sideways, staring at Hou Junji in his eyes, and said, "What do you want to tell me when you come today?"

Hou Junji stood up, stood proudly in front of Qin Mubai with his hands behind his back, and said: "Do you think about the consequences? Are you really determined to turn the tide and fight against the sky?"

"Of course." Qin Mubai looked at him without evasiveness, "Go on."

The corners of Hou Junji's mouth rose slightly, and a rare kind of smile appeared. "Then, Hou will follow him to the death with confidence." "Thank you." Qin Mubai smiled, "With your help, something big It can be done."

"Really? But, you don't completely trust me." Hou Junji shook his head.

"Why do you see it?"

"Su Dingfang led the Yi Mansion Soldier Ma Xingye out of the city. I don't know what he did, but why wasn't it me?" Hou Junji said, "You handed me the command of the Lanzhou 40,000 field army. However, the elites of Yi Mansion have been dragged in their hands and refused to let go. When there is an emergency military affairs, Su Dingfang is still the first one to send. Qin Mubai, the suspect does not need to use people, since you can’t believe me. So, why do you have a hot face against your cold ass?"

Qin Mubai shook his head, turned to look at the military map, and said nothing.

"Nothing to say?"

Qin Mubai still laughed and said nothing.

"Qin Mubai, at such a juncture, if the upper and lower sides cannot unite, it will be difficult to get things done." Hou Junji said, "Hou Junji is not unreasonable. If you can't believe me, Hou Mou is not willing to take his own life foolishly. Don’t make you feel distressed."

"Hou Junji." Qin Mubai said, "I sent Su Dingfang to lead troops out of the city. I went to Pu Changhai to send a military order and return with my father's commander."

"So what?"

Qin Mubai was silent for a while, and said: "No one can guarantee that my father-in-chief will come back safely. If there is a mistake, I will not blame you, Qin Mubai, but how do the soldiers and people in Lanzhou treat you? "

Hou Junji's expression changed suddenly, suddenly dumb.

"You don't need to say that you understand. In the eyes of the Lanzhou military and civilians, you are an outsider, and you will be stunned and excluded sooner or later. Although you are a veteran on the battlefield, your popularity and prestige in the Lanzhou army It’s not too good for the time being." Qin Mubai said, "How could I leave such a task to you? If you are eager to do meritorious service, sooner or later there will be a place for you to use your skills, and you will have enough energy to let me go. Fighting is, why bother to be so suspicious?"

Hou Junji took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Thank you."

These two words are easy to say in anyone's mouth. Only Hou Junji is difficult.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "Lanzhou Zuoweiwei's field army will be handed over to you. This is the only main force left in my hand. You don't need to let me down."

"Don't worry. Whether it is the Garqin Mausoleum or the barbarians of the Western Turks, my Hou Junji hasn't put them in my eyes!" Hou Junji sighed again and arched his hands. "From then on, Hou will follow with confidence and boldly. For you, gallop on the battlefield and be proud of the universe! No matter what the ending is, it will be a dripping joy!"

"This is exactly what I want."

"Farewell!"

Just after Hou Junji left, a maidservant of Wu Meiniang came to the study and said that the night was deep, and the princess and the host invited him back to Qiongyu Villa to rest.

After Princess Gao Yang came to Lanzhou, she settled down in Qiongyu Villa. She was inseparable from Wu Meiniang all day long, enjoying herself, and consciously didn't come to Dadu Dufu to add trouble to Qin Mubai.

"Return to the two ladies, saying that I am busy with military affairs today, and I am resting in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Please go to bed earlier without waiting for me." Qin Mubai said.

The maidservant promised, instead of leaving, he walked forward, presented a robe and a food box, and said, "Actually, the princess and the host know you will probably not go back tonight, so they sent a maid Bring warm night clothes and porridge soup to nourish the stomach, please take care of your body."

"I see..."

After putting on a robe and drinking a few mouthfuls of savory wheat porridge, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smiled, his tight mood was slightly relaxed, and his spirit was much better.

The war is imminent, and all military deployments and strategies and tactics must be determined by him as the coach himself. Garqin Mausoleum is a difficult opponent, and Qin Mubai dared not take it lightly, not to mention his own weakness.

The night was very deep, and there was silence in the four fields. After hearing a few owls and domestic dogs screaming, Qin Mubai finally couldn't bear the sleepiness, and fell asleep on the desk.

I don't know when, the robe he was wearing fell to the ground, but someone lifted him gently and put it back on again.

Qin Mubai woke up in shock, and under his sleepy eyes he saw a person who was filling the lamp with oil and gently flicking the wick.

The jade face is hazy, and the smile is like a flower.

"Your Royal Highness?" Qin Mubai got up hurriedly, "The night is already deep, how did you get to the study of Weichen?"

The person here is actually Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan.

"Why do the generals give birth?" Princess Wencheng set the wick and put down the tweezers, and said with a slight smile, "Is it as bad as before?"

Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, "Princess, please sit down."

Li Xueyan did not detain him, and sat down in front of Qin Mubai generously and said: "It is late at night, why don't the generals rest earlier? The battle is coming, and the body is important."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Qin Mubai said, "The princess needs to rest early. The water and soil in Lanzhou is not very good. If the princess is not paying attention to her health, she will easily get sick."

"Don't worry, I'm not as vulnerable as you think." Li Xueyan smiled and said, "Mu Bai...well, can I call you that?"

"Of course. This is actually my word. It is already a very polite address." Qin Mubai smiled, "My real name is Qin Liang."

"Mu Bai, I have always wanted to ask...what are you doing everything for?"

"What do you mean?"

"In terms of facts, it means-war with Garqin Mausoleum!"

"Couldn't the princess think that I was for you?" Qin Mubai laughed and said haha, regretted it after speaking, and thought to himself: I've gotten old problems, why should I be harassed like this again? she was?

Li Xueyan's face turned red and said: "I will naturally not be so passionate. I just don't understand, Mu Bai, since you are a relative of the emperor after Xunmen, when everything depends on the will of your majesty and the court Transfer. But since you came to Lanzhou, you have treated the court as nothing, and acted arrogantly...this is really not like you before."

"The princess thought it was right or wrong for me to do this?"

"It is not a simple'right and wrong' that can be determined." Li Xueyan said, "In the eyes of many people in the court, you are simply a minister who is not a minister; in the eyes of the Lanzhou military and civilians, you are the supreme **** In the eyes of the enemies of Tubo, you are a stinger that must be removed; in my opinion, Li Xueyan..."

"How?"

"The current you is the real you."

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, and laughed loudly. He said, "The princess has rarely met with me and can't talk about deep friendship, how can I get to know me?"

"To get to know a person, it may not take enough time for a lifetime. Sometimes, it doesn't take much time or much work." Li Xueyan pursed her lips and said, "Mu Bai, when I first met, I You can hear your voice from the notes at your fingertips. You are like an eagle in a cage, always looking forward to the day when it spreads its wings. For this reason, you don’t hesitate to play the role of a bird , With low eyebrows and obedience in the cage. Your chest is full of arrogant retribution and deep emotions, but you always put cynicism and nonchalantness on your face."

Qin Mubai put his hands on his belly, tilted his head, and looked at her with the kind of ‘cynicism’ smile Li Xueyan said on his face, smiling without saying a word.

"Why, did I make a mistake?" Li Xueyan asked with a blink of a pair of smart eyes.

Qin Mubai smiled and answered the question: "Princess, what do you want to tell me?"

"My family failed, and the battle is imminent. I, the so-called princess, has become a superfluous and embarrassing person." Li Xueyan shook her head and laughed bitterly to herself, "I knew this before, I should have believed in you. "

"Trust me what?"

"I believe the rhetoric you said in my house that day." Li Xueyan said, "Don't you remember? You said that the problem of Tubo can only be solved by force. One day, you will step on the plateau. Capture Zanpu alive and fully integrate Tubo into the Chinese nation."

"So, you didn't believe it at first." Qin Mubai laughed.

"Yes. That's too arrogant after all. How can I believe it?" Li Xueyan shook her head and sighed, "I thought I was already great. I would like to leave my hometown and marry on the plateau, just to live in the wild On the plateau, a benevolent way of giving to the people, quelling the war between the two countries for the benefit of the people. But now... I am really disappointed! The war is still unstoppable! Reality is like a ruthless man who gave me this self-doing The amorous stupid woman slapped fiercely!"

"Princess, it's not your fault." Qin Mubai said, "The dispute between the two countries and the course of history cannot be controlled and resolved by anyone. You and I are just trivial chess pieces; destiny is not in your control. ."

"Then what are we living for?" Li Xueyan raised her head and looked at Qin Mubai with wide eyes, waiting eagerly for his answer.

"For survival and ideals? I don't know." Qin Mubai smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It seems that I have been doing things that I cannot choose and cannot avoid, like a puppet that cannot be controlled. , Life is bitter and boring. This time, I can finally let go of my hands and feet to do something I want to do... It feels like a beast has been locked in a cage for many years, and then suddenly walked away and returned to the forest Having gained freedom, even if I know that I will be hunted by hunters or eaten by other beasts, then I can face my destiny calmly instead of going back to the cage again."

"My father once said that when you are young, you should avoid frivolousness. For a man, he will always do something he wants to do in his life, so that he will be heartily and without regret." Li Xueyan stared at Qin Mubai and said, "Mu Bai, I envy you! At this moment, you are so frank and frank, living a wonderful and generous life. I always think that only a man who is true and frank like my father is the most amiable and lovely... If time can be turned back, I would like to meet you when I was young and ignorant, a stalwart and straightforward man like my father."

"Why?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"That way, I can stick to your side with confidence and boldness, and behave like a child until I grow up." Li Xueyan finished saying this, stood up and smiled softly. "I really envy the emperor...really!... She once said a word to me, which touched me deeply."

"Which sentence?" Qin Mubai scratched his head a little awkwardly, and asked politely. He knew in his heart...The Li Xueyan in front of him had obviously opened his heart to him. Had it not been for the identity of the two of them and the delicate situation in front of them, she might have "launched an attack" blatantly...this is really a crime!

"The emperor told me that as early as when you two met, you told her a half-truth and amusement, but her heart was deeply moved." Li Xueyan said, "At that time, you It was in Jiangzhou, and the emperor suddenly ran to find you... You once said to her,'If you are wild, I will accompany the wine!"

"..." Qin Mubai was startled, "Sorry, I may have forgotten it myself."

"Since then, the emperor has always been safe and bold, and you, like a god, have been quietly waiting by her side, regardless of success or failure, you will accompany the wine." Li Xueyan smiled and said, "You two It’s a match made in heaven, living so wonderfully and freely!"

"Really..." Qin Mubai smiled, not knowing what to say. When a woman becomes emotional towards you, it's best to be cautious. Because from then on, she either trusted you very much or even fell in love with you, or she hated you very much or even hated you.

"If you are wild, I will accompany the wine... There is no woman who does not deeply love such a man." Li Xueyan pursed her mouth, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Unfortunately, Xueyan's life is poor. Even if there is wine, nothing People put the lamp..."
