After noon the next day, the Tubo delegation arrived. A total of over a hundred people, more than 20 yak carts, pulling countless ashes jars.
In history, few people who died on the battlefield were able to return to their burial villages. Being able to dig a hole and bury it in the soil for safety is a good ending. Therefore, although these ashes cans can't tell who is who, it is a good ending for the martyrs.
The soldiers of the Tang Army set up white sail soul flags in the camp and put up a big mourning hall to welcome the fellow martyrs to "go home". When the Tibetan messengers escorted the yak cart into the camp, all the soldiers were in a complicated mood. They didn't know whether they should hate them or be grateful.
"I have fought for half my life, and this is really the first time I have seen this kind of thing." Hou Junji said to Qin Mubai, "Xiu said that it was a battle between Han and Hu. In the early years I followed your Majesty in the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition to fight the civil war. I haven't seen any Central Plains anti-king ever done such a thing."
Qin Mubai didn't say a word about this, but just told him and Xue Wanjun that although each of them fights to the death, these matters should be resolved on the battlefield. Since the other party is humane and generous, we cannot be unreasonable. Killing cattle and sheep is good to entertain these messengers, and send them back to make sure they are not injured.
The second general therefore complied with the execution. Qin Mubai also sent a few fine confidantes Baiqi guards to take care of the matter. On the one hand, in order to prevent the anger of the generals in the army from doing anything out of the ordinary, the other is to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to steal military secrets.
After finishing the order, Qin Mubai stopped asking about such trivial matters.
Of course, there is no reason for the two armies to keep the other's messengers overnight. After the evening banquet, these Tubo people should have left with rapport. What's more, several of them suddenly suffered an emergency, foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground, and they were almost half dead with convulsions!
Several envoys led by Tubo were furious, blaming the Han people for being untrustworthy, mean and shameless, and they actually poisoned their food and calculated their own side. General Tang Jun had a fire in his heart. After the explanation was invalid, he quarreled with them tit-for-tat. If he hadn't stopped him in time, he would have caused fire and conflict on the spot.
Xue Wanjun reported the matter to Qin Mubai immediately, and told him that the Tubo barbarians were clearly deceiving. If I want to take his life, why do I need to do it? Going directly into the tiger's mouth is to win it-I don't know where they are!
Qin Mubai thought for a moment, and said: "It seems that the other party has some other plans. In that case, it is better to just watch the changes and see what they want to do. Please come and take a few veteran military doctors. See the sick Tubo sergeants.
Later, Qin Mubai took a few military doctors to visit the temporary barracks of the Tubo people. Four of them fell ill, and they all fell into a coma. After diagnosis, the military doctors determined that they were all acutely poisoned but not fatal. It was impossible to determine what the poison was at the moment, so it will take some time to detoxify. Now, they can only induce vomiting and abdomen to relieve their toxicity.
Those Tubo people started rioting and yelling at Tang Jun for being unfaithful. Qin Mubai asked people to crush them down, and told them that it was inconvenient for the two armies to stand up against each other. Most people must now leave the barracks and return to their own army, leaving a few people to take care of the sick. These poisoned Tubo sergeants were cured by the Tang Jun and then escorted back.
The Tubo people are not persevering and say things like "Why trust you?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but light up, and said coldly: "It really hurts you, it takes so many weeks? I have said that, I must keep my promise. Who dares to cause trouble here, or confuse our military regulations, and kill them to behave like you! Anyway! You all put the notoriety on us too!"
A good man is hard to be, but a bad man is easy to act.
As soon as these words came out, the Tubo people didn't dare to make trouble, and drove the ox cart obediently to leave the Tang Jun camp, leaving eight people to take care of the four sick sergeants.
After handling them properly, Qin Mubai first called the military doctors for private questioning. They unanimously determined that it must be the poison of the Tubo people themselves, and they were using bitterness. Because the poison in those few Tubo sergeants is extremely rare, how can it be something that the Tang army is marching outside? It must be a poison outside the territory!
The conclusion was not beyond Qin Mubai's expectation. After getting the confirmation, he thought in his heart: these Tubo people thought of a way and stayed behind. They just wanted to spy on our military. It stands to reason that with weak coercion, the Garqin Mausoleum could not use such despicable methods. Could it be... at the Shenwu Cannon and Vulcan?
It is possible!
Thinking about this, Qin Mubai summoned camp guard Xue Wanjun and Vulcan commander Zhang Tong, and told them to strictly observe confidentiality. In addition, the military accounts of these more than ten Tubos were strictly controlled and monitored, and foot bans were imposed.
A few days passed, and the sergeant in charge of monitoring reported to Qin Mubai every day that these Tubo people did not find anything unusual in their every move. They only eat and drink Lazars every day, never leave the military tent, and do not ask anyone about anything. The military doctors who visited each day reported that the poisoned Tubo people had not been found out yet, and the poison on their bodies would naturally be eliminated. But the strange thing is that their condition is neither getting better nor getting worse, as if someone is secretly controlling it.
"Then what do they want to do if they stay here begging for nothing?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but muttered, pondering for a while, and instructed his subordinates to continue to monitor closely, and immediately report any changes.
This afternoon, the food and supplies sent by the imperial court finally arrived at the Dafeichuan army camp. The **** officer was Chang Sun Huan, the current General Zuo Weiwei, who concurrently served as the deputy commander of the Lanzhou Metropolitan Governor’s Army and the West Sea Road Army-on rank , Second only to Xue Wanjun.
Along with him, there was also a caravan from Qinxian Company. The leading "little shopkeeper" was actually Su Lianqing.
When he left Lanzhou for the expedition a few days ago, Qin Mubai gave Wu Meiniang a list and asked her to help purchase many things, including a large number of medicinal materials that he needed before the battle. But Wu Meiniang is already pregnant and has difficulty moving, and Su Lianqing is a master of "medicine and drug proficient", so this thing falls on Su Lianqing.
It now appears that she has accomplished this mission fairly well, and has brought in a large amount of usable medicinal materials. The defeat in the first battle was full of wounded soldiers, and these things happened to help the army's urgent needs.
Food, food, and medicine have been promptly and well supplemented, and the Dafeichuan army barracks seemed to have been injected with a shot to strengthen the heart, and the soldiers were relieved and inspired.
After the supplies were delivered, Sun Huan, the eldest son, came to meet Qin Mubai in the army's commanding tent.
"Subordinate Chang Sun Huan, pay homage to Young Marshal Qin!" He bowed down on one knee, holding fists and saluting, Chang Sun Huan was meticulous.
"You don't need to be too polite." Qin Mubai said, "Long Sun Huan, fortunately, you have worked so hard for thousands of miles to send all these food and salaries in time. It is like sending charcoal in the snow. This handsome, thank you for all the soldiers."
"Why do you need to thank the young commander? The subordinates are just performing their duties!" Long Sun Huan lowered his eyebrows and looked at his eyes, and was very polite, and replied more carefully, "Furthermore, his subordinates are now members of the Kansai Army. What they did , Not only for my fellow brothers, but also for myself."
The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth raised lightly, like a smile but not a smile.
Zhang Sun Huan was stuck in his heart. I didn't know what Qin Mubai's expression meant, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"You have come to work hard, first go to live and rest. I will send someone to arrange a place for you, and then I will send you a few quick firemen to take care of your diet and daily life. Anything else, you Just tell them directly," Qin Mubai said.
Chang Sun Huan felt awkward. Hearing Qin Mubai’s words, first, he was chasing guests and didn’t want to talk nonsense with him. Second, he was obviously treating himself as a "guest" and sent someone to follow him. Be careful around.
Thinking about it, the first-time eldest Sun Huan didn't dare to talk nonsense, thanked Qin Mubai, and left.
"Here is a big thorn." Qin Mubai secretly thought with a sneer, "Changsun Wuji's chess move is exquisite. Sending a son to Dafeichuan to fight together, you can find out what I did. When he moved, he could close to me to show his broad-mindedness and pave the way for the future. The embroidered pillow of Changsun Huan is only suitable for dancing with spears and sticks in the capital to scare people. Where is the war? Here, it is a burden. I have to find an excuse to get him back to Lanzhou, and let Jiangxia King Li Daozong help me see him..."
At this time, there was a clamor outside the account, interrupting Qin Mubai's thinking.
"Hey, Qin Mubai, the old lady is here!——Hey, you little pawns who don't have long eyes, don't you even know the old lady? You dare to stop me!"
"Bold shrews, military planes must not make noise! Otherwise, military law will severely punish!"
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Here is another bigger thorn!"
"Let her in."
Su Lian rushed in, and when she saw Qin Mubai, she trembled with a smile, "Haha! I haven't seen Qin Mubai for many days, you're not dead yet! ——Huh, you beautiful Colors are hanging on the white face!"
"You are pouting like this, but you are still so unobstructed." Qin Mubai smiled, "Why are you the caravan?"
"It's not an old lady, who else can it be?" Su Lianqing said, "The owner's belly is getting bigger and he can only raise her baby at home. The remaining little ladies, butlers can't do these medical tasks, they also fight If you don’t deal with the army, of course, you can only take care of your old mother and shoulder heavy responsibilities!"
"It came just right." Qin Mubai's heart lit up, thinking of one thing, so he called her to the front and whispered, "I have one more thing, I want to ask you poisonous lady to help!" /
"It's easy to say!--but I have the conditions!" Su Lianqing smiled slyly.
"Heh, dare you to negotiate terms with me?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Let's talk about it?"
"You can do whatever you want my old lady to do for you. But you have to do me a favor." Su Lianqing folded his arms across his chest and said unceremoniously, "My man actually said when he was about to leave Don't want me, let me find another man to marry. You have to help me get him back."
"Your family...man?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Who? Do I know?"
"Hey! Shao is pretending to be confused in front of my old lady!" Su Lianqing rolled his eyes, "Is there anything you don't know?"
"Oh, you mean...Heizi!" Qin Mubai jokingly laughed, "He listens to me. But you guys and women, I may not be able to deal with it. As the saying goes, honest officials Is it housework, isn't it?"
"Bah! Don't be glib with my old lady, and don't put gold on your face, you are not an honest official!" Su Lianqing annoyed, "In a word, help or not, just go ahead!"
"Help!"
"Deal!"
"Come here, bring one of those Tubo people who were poisoned and ill." Qin Mubai gave an order, and then said to Su Lian, "You help me diagnose clearly, what is he in? How to deal with poison?"
Su Lianqing curled his lips in disdain, "Knowing that I won't make a deal with you, it really hurts my lady's prestigious name!"
"What do you mean?" Qin Mubai asked puzzledly.
"I thought you let me lurk to the Tubo camp to assassinate the general and marshal. It turned out to be such a trivial matter!" Su Lianqing laughed a bit presumptuously and arrogantly, and said: "This For example, there are two little urchins fighting, and one of them loses, so he cried and called to ask you, the General Marshal, to lead an army of 100,000 to help-that's what it means!"
"..." Qin Mubai was speechless and could not laugh or cry.
