It’s icy and snowy, cooking a pot of thick and fresh mutton soup, grabbing two mutton scones, this is the supreme enjoyment at Yumen Pass.

After wandering in the army camp outside the city for a day, Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui were hungry, so they ate their fill first regardless of the New Year's Eve dinner. Later the two went to the kitchen to take a look, and couldn't help laughing. It is said that clever women can hardly drink without rice. The so-called New Year's Eve dinner, that is, pancakes and mutton soup, is just a few extra urns of milk wine.

However, Chen Yan prepared a lot of these things, enough for at least twenty people. Qin Mubai asked, out of curiosity, who she invited. Chen Yan just laughed at first, but then couldn’t help but he asked repeatedly before repliing, “I’ve been here to help you so much. Could you please have a New Year’s Eve dinner? Shouldn't it?"

"Oh, the generals of Turks and Huihe, please, yes, yes." Qin Mubai nodded and chatted a few words, and walked out of the kitchen.

Chen Yan shook her head and smiled, "Pretend!"

Xue Rengui was also laughing when he heard their conversation, and said: "Mu Bai, I want to tell you something."

"I know what you want to say, about the blood lotus, right?" Qin Mubai grinned and drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup next to Xue Rengui, and said with a smack." In fact, these days, I have been thinking about how to deal with this little lady."

"To deal with?" Xue Rengui was startled, "She is not an enemy."

"It's not an enemy, but it's harder to deal with than an enemy." Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows and said, "Actually, I understand Xuelian's intentions. After my observations, I have a little understanding of her behavior. A very straightforward and simple girl, with a different wild charm, enough to attract any man. From the point of view of men and women, no man would refuse such a woman. But from the perspective of the overall situation, I have to think more about it This is a consequence."

"What is the consequence?" Xue Rengui asked in confusion, "Although the blood lotus is a noble in the grassland, the Ashina family has long since fallen, and she has only a very noble bloodline in the eyes of the people in the grassland. There is no special place. She and her sister are recognized beauties on the grassland. No man wants to pursue them. But they have always been in love with each other. Although the blood lotus is so strong in martial arts, it can bend the bow like a man to make the sword charge into the battle. But in fact she is also a little girl who is ignorant and young. Otherwise, how could she not even see you and admire you just because of some rumors?"

"You are not wrong at all. I think Princess Wencheng was just like her at the beginning. Women are born for feelings, young girls who are in love with the beginning, the pursuit of love is more blind and fanatical. This seems to us It's unreasonable, but in their hearts, they are naturally obsessed with regrets." Qin Mubai sighed and said, "I said, I don't know much about blood lotus, and I can't talk about good feelings or disgust. The reason why I left her in the cold was forced."

"I have no choice? The reason?" Xue Rengui asked.

"Politics." After Qin Mubai uttered these two words, he took a few sips of soup and remained silent for a long time.

Xue Rengui pondered to himself and seemed to have some insights, but he still didn't think thoroughly, so he waited for Qin Mubai's following.

"Rengui, please carefully recall your experience on the grassland." Qin Mubai reminded, "When you reached the grassland, you found that the Ashina clan had been annihilated by Xue Yantuo, right? "

"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded, "The leader of Xue Yantuo, Yi Nan, has arrogant ambitions, trying to unify the grassland and establish a Khanate. The first one to be eliminated is the noble Asina tribe of the old Turkic Khanate. The blood lotus. All the parents of the family were killed, and the Ashina family was almost wiped out. The blood lotus sisters survived because they went out to visit their aunt."

"Their uncle is the leader of Huihe, right?" Qin Mubai said.

"Yes. The blood lotus and Xiyan are half sisters. The blood lotus's mother is the royal princess married by Datang, and Xiyan's mother is from Huihe. There is a sister who married to vomit Lost." Xue Rengui said.

"Later in the fight against Erhun, you defeated Xue Yantuo and almost cut the jewel Khan Yimen in front of the battle. Then, Li Ji led the Great Tang Wangshi to arrive, and began the fight against Xue Yanyi." When Qin Mubai said this, he paused and said, "At that time, Chief Huihe vomited and raised the banner of the blood lotus sisters, descendants of the Ashina family, and gathered in the name of Datang. The nine-surnamed Tiele tribe formed a coalition army to conquer Xue Yantuo together. That is, at that time, you were elected as the coalition chief and married the sister of Xuelian Xiyan. Right?"

"That's the case. Li Ji is the one who married." Xue Rengui said.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Aside from whether the blood lotus sisters are really affectionate, they were used by her uncle in this way. The chief Huihe vomited, his ambition is not under the Yi Nan."

"Oh?" Xue Rengui was slightly taken aback, "Why? I think he was confessed to his enthusiasm and loyally served Tang as the suzerain country, so he agreed to work with him against Xue Yantuo."

"You didn't do anything wrong. In the environment at the time, you also had to join forces to fight the enemy. At that time, Tumidu was definitely in a sincere alliance, because his desire to survive was more pressing than you. "Qin Mubai twisted his brows and said, "However, people's desires will continue to expand and upgrade. After seeing the grassland overlord Xue Yantuo being knocked down, the leaders of every grassland tribe will think about a question—— Who will be the next overlord on the grassland? Do you dare to say that Tumidu will not think about such a problem? Will he have no idea?"

Xue Rengui furrowed his eyebrows and nodded lightly, and said: "Yes... At first, Tu Mi Du was not very enthusiastic about me, because we were just a fugitive defeated army division. Later, after the First World War in Erhunhe , His attitude immediately changed, and he was very active in calling the grassland tribes to form a coalition army. Although I was elected as the coalition head coach at the time, after all, all the tribes were summoned by him. Therefore, in fact, Xue was just in front of the battle. Pioneer, the real mastermind behind the scenes, is to vomit Midu."

"Yeah, this man is scheming, anyone dare to use it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Do you think he is so generous, giving 40,000 elite iron knights as a dowry? To put it bluntly, he is in the next He wants to buy you and me. Just like a businessman, he is an "pre-investment" to win huge profits. Now Li Ji is beating Yi Nan, and he wants to deal with Xue Yantuo, who is swayed by the storm. The problem. Once Xue Yantuo was wiped out, the new overlord tribe on the grassland would surely stubbornly stubbornly. There is no doubt that this overlord title will fall on the Huihe tribe, which is the most powerful, counter-insurgent and has made great achievements. , Will be greatly trusted and commended by the court and become the new uncrowned king on the grassland. Who can say that after a few years and ten years, he will not become the second Jie Li or Yi man?"

"This is indeed the case...Now on the Mobei grassland, all tribes large and small have been wiped out or annexed by Xue Yantuo, leaving the Huihe tribe with some strength to contend with." Xue Rengui said, "Xue Yantuo was once destroyed. , The Huihe family dominates--but I’m surprised. With the lessons learned from the Xue Yantuo tribe and the Yi Nan, the Huihe people and Tumidu, dare to give birth to ambition?"

"Haha!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Ambition and desire are beyond the control of human beings. To say a lesson for the past, didn't Yi Nan have it before? Didn't Wei Gong just wipe out Turkic Khan a few years ago? China, captured Jie Li Khan alive?"

"It's also..." Xue Rengui sighed and nodded, "As you said, this confession is indeed a scheming ambition. He sent two cheap nieces and forty thousand cavalry to the Tang Dynasty. Forging allies, I hope that there will be big returns in the future. Maybe someday he will follow the example of Yi Nan and say sweat, you and I will be quite passive."

"It's just being passive." Qin Mubai said with a deep smile, "I'm afraid he would openly claim that you and I are his allies like Li You, the king of Qi who rebelled a few years ago-you see, Not only did we marry his niece, but we also took over his soldiers and horses. This is all evidence! Or, if the Tubo people know these things will cause a fanfare and rumors, we can really jump into the Yellow River. Yes. It’s okay for you and me to be wronged and die. I’m afraid that it will affect the military’s plan at that time, and that’s a big deal!"

Xue Rengui's face changed, "Then I will write a letter of resignation immediately, and I will leave Xiyan!——Why is a husband and wifeless? Even though Xiyan is a good woman, he treats me deeply, but with The overall situation is important, I am not greedy!"

"Rengui don't need to be nervous, you can't make you divorce your wife." Qin Mubai patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "The country is picturesque, and beautiful people are like jade. Which man doesn't like it? Who said fish and bear? Can’t have both? I can do it!"

"Oh, Mu Bai has a clever plan?" Xue Rengui smiled, "No wonder I think you have been well-informed. Facing the wayward and domineering blood lotus, you are comfortable and calm!"

"In fact, it's not a clever plan, it's just a bad idea at best." Qin Mubai raised a finger and said with a mysterious smile, "One word-drag!"

"Drag?"

"Yes, hold her first." Qin Mubai smiled, "Neither unfamiliar nor enthusiastic; neither promises nor refuses. It is absolutely impossible for her to leave without being heartbroken! Then, a woman like her who has a strong and persevering personality, the more she can’t get, the more she will try to get it. On the contrary, if you let her get it easily, she might lose interest soon. Secondly, among the generals of Huihe who accompanied her, few are confidantes of vomiting and will always follow the idea of ​​vomiting to her-therefore, no matter what, the blood lotus will always follow me, even if I Punches and kicks, but also prevents her from going back!"

"Haha!" Xue Rengui laughed dumbly, shook his head and sighed, "No wonder Su Dingfang said that you are'extremely stunning'. It turns out that you have long thought about it inside and out, and you have also seen through other girls!"

Qin Mubai smiled so that his eyes were narrowed, and said softly: "Actually, which man would think there are more women around him? Ashina's blood lotus is really a strange Qiba, a different kind of coquettish. Charm. As long as it is a man who meets her, it is a lie to say that he does not covet or dislike it! However, a woman with a wild and complicated background like her is not something ordinary men can afford. Ba, with poisonous thorns on her body."

Xue Rengui laughed, "Under this world, is there a girl who is harder to provoke than Princess Gaoyang?"

Qin Mubai laughed, and immediately lowered his voice for fear that Chen Yan would hear it, and said, "Actually, I can see that she, a young girl who is in love with me, is sincere to me, and I don’t want to deceive. Or play with her. Love debts are the most difficult to pay. I don’t want to be a guilty man. Therefore, I have to think of a sure-fire way to let the madam lose her and lose her army!"

"It's up to you." Xue Rengui said with a smile, "This kind of thing, I just want to break my head. You are good at it."

"In fact, I already have a preliminary idea in my mind, not only to solve the personal problems of the blood lotus, but also to solve the long-term problem of long-term stability in the Mobei grassland." Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows and said, "Just a few years ago, the Turkic Khanate was wiped out, and this was immediately a rebellion by the Yi males. It seems that our Datang has set up a garrison at the Dudu Mansion in the country of the Fansi to let the Hu people self-made a policy of'Jingbian Huairou' , Doesn’t work. Not only do I spend a lot of money and food every year to feed the garrison, I’m always on guard, and it won’t take many years before they can still resurrect."

"This has something to do with my national policy of Datang..." Xue Rengui couldn't help but startled.

"Yeah! Such a major event cannot be decided by a frontier commander. Therefore, I have to hold the blood lotus first, at least until I take her back to Chang'an and meet the emperor." Qin Mubai paused. , Took a sip of the hot soup, and smiled, "It's not only the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, but also my old Taishan! I want to take a concubine, and I always greet his old man and give him some face, right?"

"Haha, that is!"
