Yuwen Hongtai was covered with four quilts, and there were three altars of fire around him, still trembling all over. The already dark face was already purple, and his eyes were a little straight.
Qin Mubai saw him, very similar to the scene he had when he ran back to Shanzhou from the Magic Moon Valley that night. Moreover, Yuwen Hongtai ran farther, and now the ice and snow are colder, which shows that this man is indeed about to freeze to death.
"Third, third brother, I, I'm here again..." Yuwen Hongtai was a little excited when he saw Qin Mubai, but he couldn't move, but his eyes were connected to the wheel.
"Why do you want to say'again'?" Qin Mubai was stuck in his heart, frowned and said, "What happened?"
Yuwen Hongtai grinned hard and revealed an ugly wry smile, "When I come, nothing will happen! I am really an ominous person, I deserve to die early!"
"Stop talking nonsense, the military report!" Qin Mubai's heart became more anxious, and he couldn't help raising his voice and shouted.
"Here...here..." Yuwen Hongtai gestured with his eyes, in his own underwear.
Qin Mubai personally took off the thick quilt on his body, and saw that the man's neck was frozen purple and swollen. Among his clothes, he found a small package tightly wrapped in oil paper and cotton cloth, and hurriedly opened it.
Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang stood next to each other, without daring to breathe, looking at Qin Mubai with a serious expression.
An extremely detailed military report, which is as thick as an inch, is obviously the handwriting of Jiangxia Wang Li Daozong. Perhaps Li Daozong was afraid that Yuwen Hongtai could not explain clearly, so he wrote all the actions of Garqin Mausoleum and Hou Junji in Dafeichuan in great detail.
There are also three letters written by Hou Junji. Write to Qin Mubai, Li Shimin, and his wife respectively.
After reading the letter from Junbao and Hou Junji to him, Qin Mubai's expression solidified for three minutes. Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Yuwen Hongtai all looked at him in confusion and did not dare to shout.
After a long while, Qin Mubai finally moved a bit, and handed the general report to Su Dingfang, "See it for yourself!"
After reading Su and Xue, their expressions were frozen like Qin Mubai.
Hate? Is it worry? Is it angry? Is it urgent?
Together.
"Mubai, you must act decisively and return to Lan!" Su Dingfang said decisively, "Hou Junji was crazy, and he left Dafeichuan and killed himself on the plateau. Dafeichuan, the place where the throat of the river grows, has no soldiers. ! If Garqin Mausoleum led a traveler to suddenly kill, all will be lost!"
"If we are to save Dafeichuan, then Helong will really be over." Qin Mubai was unexpectedly calm, but frowned deeply, he said, "Jiangxia Wang Li Daozong , Must have taken over the reconstruction of Dafeichuan’s defense in the first time."
"Uhhhhh!" Yuwen Hongtai nodded vigorously from the side and screamed in his mouth to show that Qin Mubai was right.
"But King Jiang Xia has only a few new recruits from Lanzhou. If the enemy's strong soldiers come, there is nothing to resist." Su Dingfang said, "Anyway, Lanzhou is already empty and urgently needs help at this time."
"It's not busy!" Qin Mubai raised his hand and said, "Think clearly before acting. At this time, any of our actions is the key to deciding victory or defeat. To be honest, I will As anxious as the **** was burned by fire, the anxiety in my heart is beyond words. However, the more this is the time, the less you should rush into self-conflict. Let us all analyze and think carefully, why Hou Junji To do this? What are the consequences of what he did? If we ourselves are the Garqin Tomb, what is the most likely thing to do now?"
When Qin Mubai said this, it was like pouring a bucket of ice water and a dose of tranquilizer on everyone present. Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui looked at each other, each of them showed appreciation and approval in their eyes, and then said: "It makes sense!"
"Come, sit down!" Qin Mubai beckoned his hand, motioning Su and Xue both to sit next to Yuwen Hongtai by the fire, and then sent the **** to prepare tea and serve.
Su Xue and two secretly admire them in shock, thinking that after so many winds and waves, Qin Mubai is about to cultivate to a state where the sky collapses. Originally, he was still in his youth and frivolous years, but it was really not easy to be able to maintain such an extraordinary calmness at such a critical juncture. Now they finally understood why so many famous ministers and generals in the court didn't use it, but the emperor gave the half of the west to Qin Mubai, the son of a weak crown.
"Hongtai, please tell me first, why did Hou Junji do this? What was the situation like?" Qin Mubai asked.
"I don't know much. Before the incident, Hou Junji didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He sent me to the Buha River to repair the dam for more than ten days." Yuwen Hongtai said, " When I heard the news and hurried back to the barracks, Hou Junji had already laid down Qingrabara and killed all the prisoners. I quarreled with him, and he tied me with a twine to Shan State is now. Later I heard that he also slaughtered the grandson Huan! This old miscellaneous hair is really cruel!"
The three of them were really taken aback after listening. Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "It seems that it is indeed necessary for King Jiang Xia to write such a detailed and thick military newspaper."
"What?" Yuwen Hongtai had straight eyeballs.
"Just ask you, you didn't notice, what's wrong with Hou Junji?" Qin Mubai said.
"Yes!" Yuwen Hongtai stared at him and said affirmatively, "I can see it, he doesn't want to live anymore! He is going to the plateau to seek death!"
"In other words, he believes that he is already a mortal person." Su Dingfang said.
"It should be like this..." Qin Mubai sighed slowly, nodded lightly, frowned and closed his eyes, shook his head angrily.
"Hey!..." Su Dingfang also sighed long, and said, "Hou Junji, really is a wild and rebellious **** maniac. For someone else, he must be thinking about committing such a mistake. How to remedy, how to escape. But he went on the contrary, first condemned his death, and then gave up this life to do whatever he wanted. I guess he feels that he will give his all his life to give it a try and put all the honors and disgrace of rituals aside. This is like a drowning person knowing that he will die, and he has to drag someone into the water. This is enough."
"To be more precise, he is like a snake head that has been cut off. He can still bite without the snake body. It is extremely poisonous and dangerous." Qin Mubai said, "In the past, Hou Junji had been suppressing His wildness and arrogance are like a hungry wolf, with an iron chain around his neck acting as a watchdog. Now that he breaks free of the iron chain, the people who died tragically under his hands will not know How much. In the end, he will definitely die."
"What a lunatic!" Su Dingfang yelled with a heavy blow, annoyed and helpless.
Xue Rengui has not interjected, and Fang said at this time: "Mu Bai, Ding Fang, this is the end of the matter, how should we act? I am still in the official position, and I do not understand or understand the affairs of Chaozhong; I don’t know much about Hou Junji. But in my humble opinion, aside from politics and etiquette, from a military standpoint, Hou Junji’s move is actually a killer move. Of course, the end must be. Both lose out."
"The jade and stone are burnt, it is appropriate." Qin Mubai nodded in recognition, and said, "The Garqin Mausoleum attacked Taozhou and disturbed the western borders of the Tang Dynasty. After that, the Garqin Mausoleum must escape. Back to the plateau. The purpose of his sudden eastward invasion was nothing more than to create a disaster to win a respite for the defeated Tubo, and at the same time unexpectedly used advance as a retreat to find a way to escape. It is not difficult to imagine that after the defeat of Dafeichuan, the Tubo people were no longer capable. In the war, one was the heavy loss of troops, and the other more important was that they had no logistical food and grass. Tubo’s agriculture was not very good, unlike our original so much food. In order to fight this battle, they did not know that they saved up. How long was the grain and grass, the result was washed away by Pang Fei with a handful of water. In this case, the Garqin Mausoleum would inevitably retreat to the plateau and be unable to defend it. However, he was worried that we would take advantage of the victory and pursue it. So before retreating. It stabbed us first, leaving us busy with healing. From this point of view, the Garqin Mausoleum is indeed old and spicy, and the attack is very insidious."
"But he never expected that there are more cruel than him!" Su Dingfang said, "Garqin Mausoleum seems to know our court and political situation very well. He thought that Hou Junji would let him go. It will be regretful and helpless. At the same time, the marshal will definitely be involved in some way. He is even more convinced that he swaggered back to the plateau after a disturbance in Xijiang, and we dare not take the initiative to attack the plateau. Because in the past, indeed This is the situation. Our soldiers and horses in the Central Plains have never entered the Tubo mainland. He expected that since we Datang cannot retaliate against them, the rest is our own internal accountability. In this way, Hou Junji is bound to die, and the marshal will be attacked by political opponents. The court has civil turmoil, and Lanzhou collapsed without fighting. As a result, our national policy against Tubo will be changed. His goal has been achieved!"
"The analysis of the prescription is reasonable and thorough." Qin Mubai said, "The identity of the Garqin Tomb is different from ours. He is not only a military commander, but also a power minister. Governing politics, he has the power to confide in Tibet. Anything he does is not just for the purpose of simple military strikes. Just now you said a sentence that coincides with what I want in my heart-Garqin Mausoleum , He never expected that there would be more ruthless than him! No matter how scheming he is, he is not a Tang, let alone in the court, it is impossible to fully understand the personality of Hou Junji-even we and Hou People who get along with Junji day and night may not fully understand him. So Garqin Mausoleum miscalculated, Hou Junji, this crazy hungry wolf, instead of fear and fear because of dereliction of duty, but a sober mind to see his own in advance The end, and then made a fatal blow before dying!"
"Garqin Mausoleum this time is a typical wise man thinking about it, and there must be a mistake." Su Dingfang said, "As Rengui said, from a military standpoint alone, Hou Junji's move is not entirely without Advantages. The Garqin Mausoleum holds half of Tubo's soldiers and horses. It must be empty when traveling abroad. Tubo is not like my Datang General who stationed half of the soldiers and horses in the capital city of Guanzhong Town. They are scattered in tribes. Many times, theirs. The soldiers are herdsmen and serfs. There are not many Yuru (equivalent to the Imperial City Yulin Army) soldiers and horses that really swayed these cities. Now Hou Junji highlights the extraordinary soldiers to kill the Luo. If it can succeed... Tubo will be destroyed. More than half!"
Xue Rengui said: "It is not difficult to imagine that Galqin Mausoleum, which had been in the West for a while, had gained a lot and retreated all over, but it must be quite exhausted. But if you learn about Hou Junji in one fell swoop After taking Qing Rayuan and killing them to Luo some cities immediately, he will be shocked, and then led his army to chase after Hou Junji, and hurried back to Luo to help!" In this way, Hou Junji did not After the retreat, the whole army broke through the cauldron and made a lasting battle-either, it would really conquer some of the cities and make great achievements; or, the whole army was wiped out, and no one could come back alive! "
"Even if some of the cities are laid down, no one can come back alive." Qin Mubai's expression sank, and said, "Rengui, if Hou Junji wants to live again, he will not move forward. This step is to kill on the plateau. The meaning of burning jade and stone is to die with the enemy with the heart of death. Now Hou Junji is to kill one without losing and killing two is enough!-on the plateau, he will definitely kill. Just like he killed 50,000 prisoners in Dafeichuan, he was not merciless!"
Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui both took a breath.
"Hou Junji is using a method of burning jade and stone to cut the grass and roots!" Qin Mubai took a long breath and slowly spit out, "The population of Tubo is less than two million, and all the people are called '60 Wan Xiongbing', how many young men are there in total? In Dafeichuan, he killed 50,000 in one go! Now he is on the plateau, like a tiger entering a flock, and I don’t know how many Tubo people will be ruined by his sword. I dare to say that he has never thought of making a name for himself, nor has he thought of capturing the Abandoned Zong and coming back to redeem his sins. He wanted to kill, simply kill! Killing Tubo was devastated for decades. The sharply reduced young population cannot recover. This is undoubtedly cruel and **** that is anti-human, anti-natural, and almost abnormal. It is not difficult to imagine that in the future, whether it is Tubo or Han, including our descendants, it may be Condemning him, the cold-blooded butcher's executioner, who will live forever and bear the shackles of shame and hatred, will be criticized; but from an objective point of view, this will eliminate the other. If this action can greatly weaken the Tubo, will it be again? What is his great contribution to my present-day Datang?-This may be his true purpose!"
"If this is the case, it would be a veritable burnt of jade and stone! The price he reported was not only his life, but also his reputation, personality and dignity!" After hearing Qin Mubai's words, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui were shocked. Up.
Qin Mubai sighed and said: "His madness is not only for catharsis, but also for expressing his shame and regret! Moreover, it is also an indirect and alternative way of repaying His Majesty’s past kindness to him. , And my trust in him!——Hou Junji, in the eyes of anyone, is a cunning, cruel, ruthless wolf; but in fact, is he not a really lonely poor man?"
