The next day, Qin Mubai invited all the generals in the army, including the six generals of the Huihe army and the blood lotus, to the temporary capital governor's mansion for a banquet in the name of the army.
The generals in Huihe only said that Qin Mubai hosted a banquet for them, so they happily attended the banquet. After three rounds of food and wine, Qin Mubai deliberately walked to the six Uighur generals with a smile on his face: "You generals are not far away to lead troops for assistance. Qin is very grateful! This time the Uighur tribe's loyalty is praised. For his hard work, Qin has been awarded by the court. A few days ago, his majesty sent an oral message, specifically instructing Qin to entertain the generals with the friendship of the landlord. However, the Lanzhou wars are scarce and expensive, and a person has been inadequate in hospitality. I apologize!"
Hearing these kind words, the generals in Huihe were very happy, and they all got up and had a drink with Qin Mubai, saying ‘the marshal is too kind’ and the like.
Qin Mubai's conversation suddenly changed and said: "A few days ago, this commander listened to your majesty's edict, and the Tang court has dispatched 150,000 troops to help Lanzhou. This is really great news!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Huihe all followed with a smile, wondering what Qin Mubai meant by saying this.
"In this way, Qin will not be so short of soldiers and horses." Qin Mubai still smiled and said, "Your ministry is my friend of the Tang Dynasty. It has been with Qin who was born and died. I am deeply disturbed. Therefore, Qin has ordered the Lanzhou Dudu’s Mansion to prepare two thousand urns, five thousand cans of fresh milk, and 30,000 cattle and sheep from the Longyou Supervisor to reward and thank your friends! "
As soon as the Hui He heard this, the eyes of the public suddenly beamed with joy-this way is not in vain!
"In addition, Qin also took out a part of the gold and silver silk and satin that his Majesty rewarded, plus the Shanghao Huzhou silk and other things operated by the Wu family of the Neizi, totaling three hundred taels of gold and 60,000 coins. , Three hundred silks, as a personal thank you to the six generals!" Qin Mubai smiled and raised his wine glass as he said, "Some vulgar things are not respectable, please accept it!"
Everyone present, including some Kansai generals, heard this, and they were all speechless--this gift is too expensive, and it's a shame that someone like Qin Shaoshuai can have such a solid family background and generosity!
Hui He Zhong will change his face after listening! Among other things, just the fine Huzhou silk, when the Han merchants transported it to the grassland, one such silk could be exchanged for three to four adult fine horses! Now Qin Mubai gave out three hundred horses in one breath. Each of them can be divided into fifty horses-this is quite a fortune on the grassland!
"Thank you, Marshal! You are so generous!" Hui Hezhong will be grateful!
The blood lotus sat aside and watched quietly, not knowing what medicine Qin Mubai was selling.
"You are welcome!" Qin Mubai laughed loudly and raised his hand, "Come on, bring the present up!"
Dozens of military men rushed into the hall carrying boxes. Gold, copper coins and silks filled the hallway, dazzling people's eyes. Qin Mubai smiled and said to the six people: "You generals might as well take a look, what is the fineness of this silk?"
"Good, good!"
The Huihe people swallowed and rushed to the pile of gifts in a hurry. The gold and copper coins packed in boxes and cages are not very rare for them, but the fine silk from Datang has a fatal attraction to them. At the moment, these six people rushed to a pile of silk and grabbed it!
"This is mine!"
"This is so beautiful! What a perfect silk and color!"
"Don't grab it, this is mine!"
……
Many Tang generals present here showed contempt. The blood lotus's complexion is not very good, and they feel dull. But Hui He Sixth General didn't feel anything wrong at all, all of them were flushed robbing silk, and they were very busy.
Qin Mubai played with the wine glasses with a faint smile and watched them rob the silk until the three hundred pieces of cloth piled up like a hill were manually divided into six parts, then said: "Come here, carry these gifts to the generals. Camp."
"Yes!"
The Huihe people returned to their seats with peace of mind, and were grateful to Qin Mubai, and urged them to drink.
After drinking a few more glasses, Qin Mubai said, "In fact, this gift from Qin is really nothing. If you get to Chang'an, all these things together, you may not be able to change the three acres of paddy fields in the suburbs of Chang'an. "
"Huh?" The Huihe public will let out a surprise.
"Chang'an, that's really an inch of money! Qin is a little tight now, otherwise, he can give more to the six generals. For example, each of them is ten hectares of Chang'an fertile land."
"This!...The marshal doesn't have to be too polite! With these, it's enough!" The Hui He Ren swallowed while rejecting.
"Hey, that's right!" Qin Mubai suddenly realized, "When we just arrived in Shanzhou before, Qin wrote a table above, in which the six generals’ contributions were given. . Presumably, the reward given by the court is about to arrive."
When the six heard this, a blazing glow appeared in their eyes, and they quickly bowed their hands in thanks.
"The generals don’t have to be polite, the rewards and punishments are clear, this is what it should be!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Because of the remoteness of Shanzhou, it takes some time for the messengers to come and go. Therefore, Qin asked the generals. Stay in Shanzhou for a few more days, so that Qin can do his best as a landlord, and second, to wait for the reward from the court!"
When the six people heard it, they were awakened-after walking around for a long time, it turned out to be "retaining guests", not for us!
But... this benefit has already been taken. As the saying goes, how can you turn back now? ...Furthermore, the reward given by the Tang court is definitely a hundred times richer than Qin Mubai's private gift! With so much wealth, there is no need to worry for the rest of my life!
People die for money, and birds die for food!
"When I feel the kindness of the young commander, I have to continue to stay and talk for a few days!" The six generals readily agreed.
"You are polite, you are polite." Qin Mubai said with a smile. Inadvertently squinting at the blood lotus, she saw her drinking glass after glass, drinking boring wine alone.
After the banquet was over, the blood lotus found Qin Mubai, a little annoyed: "What do you mean by doing this? Buy it?"
"One is willing to give, the other is willing to receive, the giving is well-known, and the receipt is justified, how can it be bought?" Qin Mubai smiled.
"You are too bad!" Xuelian said bitterly, "Those generals of Huihe have taken you so many benefits. From now on, you will say that one is one, and the second is two. Just say it clearly, when will the Huihe tribe be annexed? Army? When did they seize their military power?"
"Don't make it so ugly as to ‘gobble up’ and ‘take military power’." Qin Mubai smiled, "At best, I use money to buy them from them!"
"Yes, you have money! Money can make ghosts push!" Xuelian was angry, but he didn't know where the anger came from, and he felt a little helpless.
"Xiao has a few stinky money and can do some small things." Qin Mubai continued to laugh shamelessly, and said, "More importantly, Datang was rich, rich and gorgeous. On the other hand, why didn't the Huihe Department at that time Buy out the 10,000 elite soldiers under Xue Rengui?"
"Hmph! Show off!!" The blood lotus was speechless, coldly snorted away.
"Don't worry, someone from Qin has always acted with a conscience, and never treated others harshly." Qin Mubai smiled, "Unsurprisingly, all six generals in Huihe will be rewarded by the Tang court. Chang'an was granted the title of land and title, and there will be promotion. This is justified, how can it be better than Tubo Jiang general and Gaochang Jiang general. Moreover, Huihe leader Tu Midu has no reason to express dissatisfaction, because he too I hope that the Tang court will give him a reward! ——Becoming a Tang resident and possessing the right of residence in Chang'an are all dreams of countless foreigners. I don’t need to say that? Let alone become an official of the Tang Dynasty! As for ordinary people. Qin will definitely treat the sergeant of Qin as well. You won’t doubt this. Because even the soldiers from Tubo and Gaochang are treated equally when they arrive under Qin’s command."
"You have taken up all the truth, what else can we say?" Xuelian said angrily, "I just think you are not kind! Go back to Hebu for thousands of miles to help, you'd better, and swallow up all the soldiers and horses of the people. !"
"Blood lotus, are you really confused or pretending to be confused?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
"These 40,000 soldiers and horses were originally used by Tumido to invite pets to buy rewards, and at the same time they were given as dowry for you and your sister. Now they are sold well and they have to be taken back for favors. There is such a thing in the world. Reason?" Qin Mubai smiled.
Blood lotus's face flushed suddenly, "What dowry? Look at you smiling, really shameless!"
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Blood lotus, it's not that I want to stimulate you. Tumidu is an ambitious person. He donated 40,000 soldiers and horses to Xue Rengui to help Lanzhou. His intentions are very far-reaching. It’s not all for your sisters. It won’t take long for Li Ji to wipe out Xue Yantuo, and the Huihe tribe will surely stubbornly stubbornly on the grassland to replace Xue Yantuo as the new overlord. You said, the cost of these 40,000 soldiers and horses, he vomited. Yes, is it worth it?"
"I understand these, don't divert the subject--what do you mean by the dowry?" Xuelian asked, staring at Qin Mubai.
"It's not that your sister married Xue Rengui, and you married me in the future, dowry!" Qin Mubai smiled brightly.
"..." The blood lotus was speechless for a while, angry and funny, "It's a shame you can say it-who is going to marry you?"
"Hey, I have all the dowry, whether you marry or not, I won't lose anyway!" Qin Mubai laughed loudly and strode away.
"...This bad man is really incomprehensible and shameless!" Xuelian looked at Qin Mubai's back, stomping her feet ashamed and annoyed, a little beautiful in her heart, but a little bit aggrieved, but also It's a lot more practical than before, and it's a mixture of feelings.
As soon as Qin Mubai walked out a few steps, a small **** rushed to report, "Marshal, General Pang Fei is back!!"
"What?!" Qin Mubai exclaimed in surprise, "Where is the person?"
"Already in the city! General Yuwen and others have greeted them first!"
"Call them to the palace!!" Qin Mubai rubbed his hands in surprise, "Smelly boy, I'm not dead, I'm back!"
Blood lotus looked curious, and walked up to the point of indecision: "Did the girl fall from the sky? Look at you like a fool."
"On the contrary, I didn't lose the big girl, but the few big men." Qin Mubai was in a good mood, so he grabbed Xuelian's hand and said, "Go, take a look with me!"
The blood lotus was caught by him, and he was startled at first, then his heart jumped and became a little embarrassed, "Let go, who am you, just grab my hand!"
Qin Mubai was startled, and laughed haha: "The children of the grassland are really different from the Han girls!"
"What's the difference, you can talk about it." Xuelian tilted his head, looking at Qin Mubai both angrily and funny.
"The difference is that you...feel better!" Qin Mu Bai Thief laughed, but still grabbed her hand, "Let's go, don't grind!"
"Hey!..." Xuelian yelled, but he arbitrarily grabbed his hand and couldn't get rid of it, and dragged it forward. His face was hot for a while, and his heart quickly jumped. After struggling for a few times, he didn't make it, so he pulled it like this and walked to the front hall.
In the lobby of the Dudu's Mansion, there was a large colony of people yelling and cheering. Qin Mubai pulled the blood lotus into the hall, and someone shouted-"The marshal is here"!
There was a loud scream from the core of the crowd—"Master!"
It really was Pang Fei's voice!
Qin Mubai's heart throbbed, "Pang Fei! Your kid is not dead!"
The crowd separated and Qin Mubai could see clearly that Pang Fei and other seven people, who were carried in by seven stretchers, are now in the hall.
Qin Mubai was stunned for a while, still holding the blood lotus hand, "You...what's the matter?"
Everyone looked straight at the hand he held with the blood lotus. Xuelian hurriedly broke free and stood aside.
Six people were struggling to get up from the stretcher, Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down, "Okay, just lie down without getting up."
It was only then that he could see clearly that these seven people were almost completely unrecognizable-everyone was skinny and skinny, but their faces were all frostbite, blue and purple, and some places burst and pused out. blood.
Pang Fei climbed a few steps forward and grabbed Qin Mubai's arm, and couldn't help crying loudly on the spot, "Master! If the students can see you again, I will die too!"
"Just come back, just come back." Qin Mubai hugged him tightly and patted him on the back, "there are just six of you left?"
"Yes." Pang Fei loosened embarrassedly, and said, "We set out from Qinghai Lake to 500 people and arrived at Golmud Tianchi to complete the blasting mission, and there were 36 people left. Then we couldn't go the same way. Returning, I had to wander around Kunlun Mountain to survive. In more than a month, 20 or 30 brothers died. Later, it was General Hou Junji who led his troops to the Golmud area. We went to find him after hearing the news. , He sent fifty or sixty freed Han slaves to **** us all the way back to Dafeichuan, and only came to see our teacher today!"
"Hou Junji?" Qin Mubai's eyes widened suddenly, "He went to Golmud?!"
