The heavy snow finally stopped.

Although the snow on the road has not melted, it is very unfavorable for the brigade's military operations, but Qin Mubai didn't want to wait any longer. He dispatched 3,000 foot soldiers to set off one day in advance to clear the snow and pave the trees and pave the way. He immediately led 60,000 troops and 40,000 Huihe cavalry to Lanzhou.

Su Dingfang and Ba Xi Mi, the commander of the Southern Court of the Western Turks, sent them together, and returned ten miles away. Qin Mubai said goodbye to Su Dingfang, after he led the army back, let's look at the direction of the court. It is estimated that there will only be two extremes. One is that the Tang Dynasty was finally completely angered and raised his army to launch a decisive battle against Tubo; the other is that the imperial court changed the strategy of the Western Regions and the diplomatic policy towards Tubo, which also meant his Qin Mubai’s The military and political career may have come to an end from now on. This time I return to Lan, it is estimated that there will be no day to meet again.

Su Dingfang said that it is estimated that the former is more likely. Because the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a powerful and domineering master, it is impossible to stop the war because of the losses suffered by the Xijiang attack. On the contrary, if Lanzhou has been able to win the Garqin Mausoleum and can't make any money, the emperor may be able to win the battle and achieve the goal of reducing casualties by conciliating war and saving national power.

Qin Mubai thought for a while, Su Dingfang's analysis was reasonable. But above the temple, everything can happen. Qin Mubai told Su Dingfang to "prepare with a red heart and two hands." It is good for the imperial court not to change its strategy and national policy; if it changes, the original Lanzhou generals may have to be replaced, because Su Dingfang must first be prepared to "self-protect and get away from being caught."

"Hey!" Su Dingfang sighed so long, "I am waiting for the generals, and I will take my brothers on the battlefield to fight blood. The outcome is a matter of life and death. In the end, I have to worry that the court will settle the account with us. The world only says. In order to be majestic, who is wise to be the difficulty and bitterness of the general?"

"In fact, there is nothing to complain about. Hugh said that being a general, that is, being an emperor and a minister has its own difficulties, and it is not easy. In short, brother take care!" Qin Mubai smiled helplessly, then Say goodbye to Su Dingfang and lead the way.

An army of 100,000, lined up in a long snake formation for dozens of miles, headed towards Shanzhou. The distance between Shanzhou and Yumenguan is thousands of miles away, and it was originally a desolate way full of Gobi desert. It was the most difficult part of the Silk Road. Now it's time of heavy snow closing the road and it's unusually cold, and the march is quite difficult. Although there were thousands of pawns clearing the way, the advance of the army was quite slow. The wheels loaded with grain and grass were stuck in the mud of the frozen earth, and they couldn't get up soon. However, I didn't throw away these heavy and light soldiers. Otherwise, at night, the freezing cold and the cold wind that cut into the bones of this large Gobi could freeze everyone to death.

Ten days have passed, and the army has tried its best to advance only more than three hundred miles. Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little worried.

This night, the army camped and prepared to spend the night. When Qin Mubai returned to the barracks, he ate two flatbreads with hot tea boiled in snow water, then lit an oil lamp to see the various military discounts presented by the generals and the school, and prepared to approve.

Chen Yan cleaned up the bed quietly and boiled hot water for Qin Mubaidan to relieve his fatigue.

"Okay, I will do it myself." Qin Mubai smiled gratefully.

"You are busy with you, leave your feet to me." Chen Yanwan'er smiled and went to take off Qin Mubai's shoes and socks.

Qin Mubai's heart was warm, and he nodded with a smile, allowing Chen Yan to wash his feet, still concentrating on reviewing the military notes.

"It seems we have to stop for a day or two." Qin Mubai muttered to himself, "The army's reserve of firewood is almost used up. This kind of spooky weather, if there is no firewood for heating and water at night, it would be dying. Human."

"It's really not easy to fight this march." Chen Yan said, "It's really hard to be a soldier. Just say you. If you are in Chang'an, when will you get this kind of poor tea and rice? By the way, you should again. Take a shower."

"Let's do it!" Qin Mubai grinned, "The big deal is that you don't take a bath, we will not dislike anyone. Isn't it still lacking firewood? Just right, if you can save it."

"Fuck you! Let me tell you the truth, I have washed your body with this water for washing your feet." Chen Yan laughed and cursed, "No wonder Lord Gao Yang scolded you for'Thief Military Academy, Stinky man', the soldier who was in the army is really stinky!"

"It's been scrubbed? That's good, that's good." Qin Mubai smiled warmly and obscenely.

Chen Yan shook her head helplessly and smiled, but her face was flushed.

Qin Mubai saw the beauty in his eyes. The love of bed with Chen Yan is the most hearty. If she hadn't been with her these days, I guess I would have been suffocated. As a mother, she perfectly blends the shyness of a good family woman with the richness of a mature woman. She wants to refuse and welcomes the most seductive. When she is in love, her initiative and wildness are enough to make every man feel weak.

After washing her feet, Chen Yan took up the basin and walked away. When she turned around, she whispered "Go to bed early."

Qin Mubai was a little dry and could not sit still. Hearing the sound of Chen Yan folding the bedding in the back tent bedroom, Qin Mubai was about to blow on the lamp and go in to rest, but he heard someone from afar ask, "Did the marshal ever sleep?"

"The subordinates don't know. The subordinates didn't dare to disturb so late at night, but the lights were still on in the marshal's account."

Qin Mubai heard that Xue Rengui was here. So he opened the account and said, "Rengui, I haven't slept yet, come in!"

"Excuse me!" Xue Rengui said the crime and entered the account.

"Is there something?"

"The army's supplement gave a little problem." Xue Rengui said straightforwardly, "Lack of firewood for cooking and fodder for horses. When I was camping in the afternoon, I had sent several teams out to look for the mountains and forests, but luckily Yes, I found an oasis on this Gobi Desert. So I thought, should we stop for a day or two and replenish it?"

Qin Mubai immediately smiled and said, "Rengui, I have said it, I can't lack an arm like you by my side. Not only do you charge and fight, but you also deal with the smallest things. I just received news from the rear army and I was about to order someone to take a two-day rest to find firewood, but you have taken care of the matter beforehand."

"Mu Bai overwhelmed." Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Actually, these are all things that belong to me. The troops of 100,000 people, big and small, can't be carried by the young marshal alone. . As a subordinate, we can share a little bit if we can share. In fact, there are some things I can’t figure out in my mind when I came here. I would like to ask you for your advice."

"Don't dare to teach me, let's just have a chat!" Qin Mubai asked him to sit down and pour tea, adding a few pieces of charcoal to the fire.

"Mu Bai, when I left that day, I heard you and Dingfang talk, and I felt deeply moved." Xue Rengui said, "Xue Mouzhi has always thought that a man who wants to go on the battlefield will be a good man and be successful. Territorial expansion and protection of the environment and the people. Xue has always thought that my Datang is a radical and strenuous dynasty, and that his majesty today is also the master of the wise and martial arts. Therefore, he is willing to serve in the army, and is willing to spill his blood on the territory of the Tang Dynasty!... However, after the incident of Hou Junji, I suddenly felt that being a general was actually quite sad. If I changed to Hou Junji, I would probably not look down on the Garqin Mausoleum and let him escape to the West Xinjiang to make trouble. But it was a crime. Such a mistake caused an irreversible huge loss. Hou Junji also considered himself mortal, and the fish died and the net broke."

"Sorrow for oneself!" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, and said, "Actually, Hou Junji is hateful, cute, and pitiful. He is like a lone wolf walking alone in a desolate wilderness. He has passion and pride in his heart, but no one can understand. His character is relatively perverse, which makes him unacceptable. Otherwise, with his ability to lead soldiers in battle and the magnificent military exploits he has made before, how could he be reduced to Sima Liangzhou Situation?"

"Xue is also very dull. He doesn't know how to be an official. He doesn't know how to be sleek." Xue Rengui wrinkled his brows slightly and said lightly, "Is it true that Xue will end up like Hou Junji one day? ?"

"Rengui, do you think too much? When did you become so looking forward and backward?" Qin Mubai smiled.

"Xue, I just want to be a real general and charge into the battle to protect the country and the people." Xue Rengui smiled slightly and said, "I don't save money, don't be greedy for women, don't buy land, don't seek dignity, just want to concentrate Soldiers fight. This is not only my defeat, but also my pleasure. Following the commander’s westward march, until today, I finally understand what a real war is and what a real soldier is—the commander, it’s me waiting Wufu general model; Hou Junji is the other extreme!"

Qin Mubai nodded gently, and said: "In fact, Hou Junji is an outstanding general. But he has too many desires and ambitions. After he has become famous on the battlefield, he still wants to He has gained more fame and fortune. However, he does not have outstanding vision and brains in politics. It is not so much that he lost to Changsun Wuji, it is better to say that he lost to his own ambition and desire. Therefore, Ren Gui, you don’t have the sad sentiment of a rabbit dead and a fox. You are different from Hou Junji. He is an unruly greedy hungry wolf, but you are a rare horse of thousands of miles in the world. Even a hunter, he can only use his bow and arrow. A quasi-hungry wolf, and not so stupid to shoot a horse of thousands of miles."

Xue Rengui grinned, "Mu Bai, you praise me too absurdly!"

"It's not a false praise, it's a big truth." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "There is a saying that one's position is determined by character. In fact, a person's ability can be cultivated. No one is born as a general . But the character is easy to change. Hou Junji’s temperament determines his ending today. In fact, he is also worth it. Da Feichuan, fifty thousand prisoners died with him; there are tens of thousands of brothers, with him Do the last madness and kill the plateau. I don’t know how many **** things he will do when he goes on the plateau, but I think this must be an unprecedented catastrophe for Tubo. Because before that, no army has ever killed it. Tubo Plateau. Hou Junji is going against it. Now, once his butcher knife is swung up, he will never put it down again. Unless someone cuts off his head."

"I understand..." Xue Rengui nodded gently, "Hou Junji wanted to use the last moment of his life to do something that others would not dare to do. His arrogance and wildness, take it seriously Amazing! In other words, although his behavior will have many critics, he is actually a reckless and simple man. He has always been unscrupulously pursuing what he wants. Although a bit extreme, I I think he is a **** man with a true temperament! Even if he is a real villain, he is better than a hypocrite!"

"Agree." Qin Mubai nodded in agreement, "When I first visited Hou Junji and decided to activate him, many people advised me not to do this, so as not to worry about raising tigers in the future. But my thoughts Like you, even if he is a real villain, he is better than a hypocrite!—Actually, I admire Hou Junji! I haven’t thought about what he is doing now, but I can’t do it, nor Dare to do it. How can it be done if the nation melts and there is no war that will bring about slashing the grass and roots and drawing money from the bottom of the pot? Can it be done by the literati in the temple sitting and talking? In the final analysis, we still have to be soldiers. The opposite of the executioner role! War is to die, no matter how you die, it is death! War, there is no real justice at all, it is killing! If I don’t kill the enemy, the enemy will kill me——Hou Junji, is a true general ! He clearly understood the naked rules of the game, and then... he let it go!"

Xue Rengui furrowed his thick eyebrows and was speechless.

We have gone to battle to kill the enemy more than once or twice; Hugh said that there have been many casualties after the battle between the two armies, even those who died directly under Xue Rengui. Facing the war and participating in the war, he may not understand the true meaning and essence of the war-what Qin Mubai said just now actually gave him some shock!

War, there is no distinction between justice and evil, it is the result of people with different positions, artificially beautified or demonized; war is a life-and-death struggle, winners and losers, and then the survivors write everything about the war.

The general is actually a war machine. Just like a cold knife slung on a soldier, it has no distinction between justice and evil. The so-called "sword of justice" and "sword of evil" are the attributes given to it artificially.

"Hou Junji is a real general. He understands the essence of war, and has carried out his mission as a general without hesitation! However, there will be many people who have nothing to do with war, or It’s an outsider who doesn’t understand war. He judged him from different moral angles, criticized him, and gave him a shameful evaluation!" After a while, Xue Rengui suddenly said, "This is really unfair!"

"Just as there are no absolute good and bad people in the world, there is no true fairness. Even if it is something that has happened in history, people will have different views and opinions on it at different times and different moral angles. Today’s heroes may be tomorrow’s sinners; once traitors, they may suddenly be reversed one day and become a certain type of hero." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "So since we have chosen Congrong. On the road, I’ll go on calmly. I’ll give you a word, take responsibility for what you have done before, how can you comment on it afterwards?"

"Hou Junji, he is more straightforward and free and easy than us, he did it like this!-What a man!" Xue Rengui said this sentence between his teeth.

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Benevolence, you are still a junior, and most of your contacts are military. But even as a general, his roots are in the court, because war is political. Extension. So you have to slowly understand and accept many things. The battle will be over one day. The day when the horse is released in Nanshan is the time when I wait for the general to return. At that time, we are not only generals, but also Courtiers and politicians. We have to face politics as a game, we can’t escape it

"Xue got up and didn't know how to be an official. From now on, I can only learn slowly with you." Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly and stood up and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you for so long in the middle of the night. It's tight! In recent days, Xue has always had a cloud in his heart, and I have begun to doubt my ambitions and ideals. Tonight, a conversation with you is better than reading for ten years. Now Xue has a lot of light in his heart. The car must be in front of the mountain If there is a way, Xue will follow Mu Bai step by step!"

Qin Mubai laughed, "Brother Xue, if you don't worry about me selling you, just follow along!"

"Don't be afraid!" Xue Rengui also laughed, "Xue has no expertise, but has a great appetite! Sell it and sell it, and then someone has to dare to buy it!"

"Haha!"

The two laughed and talked for a while, and Xue Rengui left. When I left, my steps were obviously lighter.

Qin Mubai twisted his eyebrows and said in thought, Hou Junji's matter has begun to affect the military spirit of the Guanxi Army. If the court's judgment and treatment of Hou Junji were too harsh and unfair, it would definitely chill some people's hearts. After all, in addition to the ‘unnecessary’ rebellion, Hou Junji has always been dedicated to serving Datang throughout his life, and he has made a lot of credit. But his reputation outside is extremely stinking; his fate is also miserable.

Even if he dies in the future, he may not receive the respect he deserves.

"This may be destiny, life, and human nature. The three great gods of secularism, ethics, and Gangchang are really not unreasonable." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly to himself, shook his head, and sighed, "Hou Junji, There are only thirteen words in the letter you wrote to me—'A scholar dies for a confidant, Hou Mou is worthy of Qin Saburo'!"

"You have long understood why I sent you to Dafeichuan instead of Xue Wanjun or myself... Just like a house that is often visited by thieves, the host will tie a bulldog to the nursing home; The difference is that I tied a hungry wolf that couldn't be tied at all!"

"Maybe I will become their hero in the future; but one day people will understand that you are the real hero!"

"It's really a great success!... Among the ten thousand bones, there are not only enemies, but also my own compatriots!"

"This thousand-year history and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are like a chessboard. The skins of the characters on the surface are removed. In fact, we are just insignificant chess pieces! The difference is that some chess pieces were eaten early and disappeared. On the chessboard; some pieces will stay at the end, marking the so-called victory..."

"Your death fulfills my life; your sin fulfills my name; your fault fulfills my gong!"

"These thirteen words are your vows and last words, but also the shackles and irreparable guilt of my first life! Just like the death of my father..."
