"The wind flies and the flags are flying.

Big horn blows sharp swords and guns

The sky is blue and the wild is boundless

Blue sky dome house against hunting ground

Feng Di whistling, tigers and eagles--"

After the victory, Hou Junji, together with his soldiers, sang this army song "Big Horn Song" belonging to the Tang Dynasty, marching forward like a city wall, aiming directly at these cities.

They are like pawns crossing the river on a chess board, without retreat, determined to move forward.

Behind them, there are mountains of corpses and fireworks all over the sky.

"Does the world treat us as demons, ghosts or beasts? It doesn't matter anymore!"

"We are just doing, the only thing we can do right now!"

"Before we die, let the blood in our chest rush more recklessly and thoroughly!"

……

Hou Junji pointed the sword to the sky and shouted—"Brothers! Are you happy?!"

"Have fun!!!"

"Then continue to have fun!——Let the once incomparable plateau barbarians tremble under our iron hoof!"

"Like Dongzan Yusong, come and beg us to kill him!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "General Hou is mighty!"

"Brothers are mighty!" Hou Junji laughed loudly, "Keep on advancing, the goal is to make some cities!"

"Tubo barbarians, children of Qinling, get out of your tortoise shells and come to fight to the death with Grandpa Hou! Grandpa wants to take off your pants and see if you are all the same as Dongzan Yusong, no eggs Egg!"

"Hahaha—"

The wild laughter shook the thin air of the plateau. Flowing clouds seemed to shudder, running hurriedly.

Dafeichuan, in the main camp of the Kansai Army.

Qin Mubai, Li Ke, and Quan Wanji set up tables separately, and there are more than ten military officials and officials around them, all of whom are busy criticizing the military documents. After Hou Junji left, Qin Mubai gave Quan Wanji the temporary post of Marching Sima, and led the general logistics and internal affairs, in charge of military orders, and the implementation of military laws.

The 300,000 army has just moved into Dafeichuan, and the military affairs are just like nothing. Therefore, Qin Mubai and others have been very busy these days, and the mood for talking about meat is gone.

After Qin Mu's white-collared army came, Li Daozong, who had originally led his army to guard this place, exhaled a sigh of relief. The two armies changed defenses, and Li Daozong, the deputy chief of Lanzhou, still returned to Shanzhou to take care of the food and grass.

When leaving, everyone will farewell to Li Daozong. After the banquet, Li Daozong drank a little wine and pulled Qin Mubai privately: "Mubai, I shouldn't have told you about Yan'er at this time, but..."

"The prince has something to say, just say it." Qin Mubai smiled, "I'm like your half son, what else is worthy of scrutiny?"

"Xueyan became a monk after returning to Beijing." After Li Daozong finished speaking these words, he looked at Qin Mubai's face with straight eyes.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a while, "A monk?..."

"It's not a Buddhist lay disciple who practiced with hair, or a pseudo-aunt who pretends to decorate the Taoist way, but actually hides in the ancient temples in the deep mountains to practice alchemy." Li Daozong sighed and said, "Now , No one knows where she went."

"..." Qin Mubai was speechless for a while, sighed, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Li Daozong shook his head and waved his hand with a bitter expression, "Don't blame you. She is because of her temperament. We can only blame our parents for being too arrogant and spoiling her. But then again, she is like this. It’s better than marrying to the plateau."

"That's..." Qin Mubai nodded silently.

"Okay, let's not say much." Li Daozong laughed at himself and smiled bitterly, and said, "You are good at using soldiers, don't think about anything else. I have told you anything about Yan'er before. , Don’t worry about it, just treat it as a joke. From then on, you will assume that there is no such person as Li Xueyan in the world."

Qin Mubai didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded gently, "Don’t worry, I will do my best to fight the battle before me. I don’t think much about other things now. I am worried about the rear area. Now that I have a prince sitting in town, I can rest assured. In addition, my wife and children in my family will also have to take care of my wife and children."

"Don't worry." Li Daozong dropped these two words and led more than 40,000 Lanzhou recruits and a large number of civilian husbands who were transporting military resources to Shanzhou.

After the army was stationed, Qin Mubai gathered the generals and began to urgently discuss and arrange future strategic warfare and tactics.

The general strategy is actually very clear, that is, with Yuchi Jingde, who was out of Sichuan and Sichuan, teamed up with Tubo and went straight to Huanglong to take down these cities. But it is not so easy to refine it to tactics.

The biggest problem in front of us is not the army's combat power, military strategy or logistical allowances, but the altitude sickness.

This has just arrived in Dafeichuan. Many people, including Li Ke, have had obvious altitude sickness-headache, vertigo, shortness of breath, tinnitus, chest tightness, etc. In more serious cases, vomiting, diarrhea, facial edema, or even fainting, and people do not wake up.

The people who suffer from altitude sickness are more serious. Most of them are the reinforcements who have just arrived from the pass and the soldiers from the grasslands of Huihe. Most of the old Kansai Army, which was active in this area, can adapt.

All this was naturally expected by Qin Mubai, and relevant arrangements have already been made. One of the most important things is a special decoction-"safflower soup" popular in the plateau area. It is said that this is a medicinal soup specially invented by Tubo witch doctors to relieve altitude sickness. It is made up of rhodiola, safflower, astragalus and other medicinal materials, and is provided in large quantities throughout the year in the Guanxi Army. In addition, there are materials such as Tubo butter tea and plateau Shenjing salt as dietary supplements.

According to each person's physique, the ability to adapt to altitude sickness and the length of time to adapt are different. Therefore, the soldiers can only gradually adapt. For analogy, in Dafeichuan, first adapt for ten days and a half months, then advance thirty to fifty miles northwest, and rest and adapt for a period of time at a slightly higher altitude.

Therefore, the overall tactics can only be step by step for the battalion to advance, it is impossible to immediately lead the army to the plateau. If that were the case, before the Tubos led their troops to counterattack, the Kansai Army would have lost most of its combat effectiveness.

"How did the people at the Houjun Fair fight on the plateau?" Someone asked this question.

Qin Mubai replied: "The troops led by Hou Junji, most of them are veterans of the Guanxi Army stationed in Dafeichuan all year round. Their ability to adapt to the plateau is already strong. This is one of them; second, Hou Jun Ji chose to go round the Kunlun Mountains instead of going deep immediately, so he actually followed the principle of step by step and gradually adapted to the rising plateau. The third point...they have already given up."

After listening, everyone was silent. This style of play, not everyone can play, obviously not suitable for the current Kansai army.

It was agreed at the military meeting to first rest in Dafeichuan for ten days and divide all the soldiers into three groups through observation. The first batch is the most able to adapt to the plateau, forming the vanguard; the second batch is barely able to adapt to the plateau, and the third batch is too strong for a time to adapt to the altitude sickness. The latter two groups of troops can only be used as backup troops, let them be condemned in the rear as appropriate, and give them more time to adapt.

Li Ke had just arrived from Youzhou, thousands of miles away. He was already unaccustomed to the soil and water, and now he was suffering from altitude sickness. He suffered a serious illness and finally fell ill.

Qin Mubai went to visit his sickbed, still not forgetting to laugh ridiculously, "His Royal Highness is really a delicate figure like a weak Liu Fufeng! I had already asked you to supervise logistics in Shanzhou, why bother to come here to get sick?"

"Are you still sarcasm at me like this?" Li Ke, whose face was scorched, was about to be exasperated.

"Okay, don't be angry, drink water?"

"Don't drink!"

"Can you eat some fresh fruit? This thing is quite rare in Dafeichuan!"

"Don't eat!"

"I just found two beauties, and they are out of the book..."

Li Ke's eyes suddenly light up, "Help me up and change clothes!"

Qin Mubai slapped his face solemnly, "Come in, Tantai, and change your Royal Highness!"

Li Ke suddenly looked like a frustrated ball and became angry, "Get out!!"

Qin Mubai laughed loudly, "Your Royal Highness calms down your anger, your body is important. I'm not afraid that you will be boring in bed and recuperating, so I will make you happy."

"Why are you amused, obviously you are making fun of me!" Li Ke couldn't laugh or cry. But the mental head is indeed better.

"Actually, I have something to tell you." Qin Mubai said.

"Say."

"Hou Junji killed Changsun Huan before he went out." Qin Mubai whispered, "You don't know this news, right? The Guanxi army has long been strictly blocked."

"What?" Li Ke's face changed suddenly, "Then my father knows?"

"Yes. I was in Yumen Pass at the time. King Jiang Xia dared not report such important events! But I guess that His Majesty the Emperor secretly suppressed the news and has not told Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, I really don’t know. What's wrong?" Qin Mubai whispered, "But the paper won't keep the fire, and Changsun Wuji will know sooner or later. This also means that we have completely broken with Changsun Wuji, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation. Between the two parties, you must die and die, leaving no room."

Li Ke furrowed his eyebrows and nodded slowly, "I understand. Even if the grandson Huan hadn't been killed, he wouldn't be able to tolerate me. Because he always felt that I was an alien with an unhealthy descent, and an ambitious person. A potential enemy threatening his safety."

"In the final analysis, isn't it because you are the son of the emperor?" Qin Mubai asked meaningfully.

"But I didn't think about those things!" Li Ke suddenly said seriously.

"What things?" Qin Mubai chuckled lightly.

"Knowingly ask!" Li Ke was a little annoyed.

Qin Mubai touched his nose and smiled lightly, and said, "Did you think about it, only you know it; the reality is that the emperor might have a little interest in it, so I want you to try it. ."

Qin Mubai's understatement made Li Ke's face change drastically!

"Mu Bai, even you think so?" Li Ke whispered in surprise, "Think I have ambitions?"

"Wrong. It's not how I think you think about it; but many people think that you have this ability." Qin Mubai curled his lips and said, "Including Your Majesty."

Li Ke fell silent. After a long time, he nodded helplessly and said, "I can't deceive myself. My father suddenly transferred me from Youzhou to Lanzhou, saying that it would be impossible without any intentions in that respect. But "abolishing the concubine" This kind of thing is like a taboo in the past dynasties!... As far as I know, not only the grandson Wuji, but also Fang Xuanling, are firmly opposed to this. I know my situation. There is no chance. So sometimes I think that the emperor did this deliberately, just to push me to the forefront of the storm, let me be a shield to protect the prince he really wants to stand!"

Qin Mubai's face showed a smile of relief. He nodded and said, "Your Highness, you are really smart."

"I was destined to have a tragic ending a long time ago, didn't I?" Li Ke added bitterly, and then said, "The partisanship between North Korea and China has been so serious that it has affected the rise and fall of the entire empire, and its core and root cause are nothing more than It is the battle between the prince and the king. The prince eldest brother has fallen, and I am away from Youzhou. Only the king of Wei and the king of Jin are left. Really want to fight, in any way, the king of Jin is far from the opponent of the king of Wei. Now Changsun Wuji Joining forces with King Wei again, King Jin has no chance of winning. Under such circumstances, if the father wants to protect King Jin, the only way is to divert the attention of the eldest grandson and King Wei, so that they can change their direction. So, I returned to Beijing to reinstate my life, Lanzhou Supervising Army!"

"You mean, at this moment, what your Majesty really wants to set up in his heart is King Jin? And you and me are just one of the two fools who are playing the squabble?" Qin Mubai said calmly Asked.

Li Ke shook his head blankly, "I don't know... no one can know. I guess, maybe even my father himself doesn't know. In terms of bloodline ability, after the eldest brother was deposed, Wei Wang is fully dominant, and no one can compete with him. However, the previous incidents have completely exposed his hypocritical and deceitful side to his father. Moreover, Wei Wang was too eager for quick success and quick gain, and lost it in order to compete for the crown. The due position and ethics, openly teaming up with the former enemy, Changsun Wuji, is only a matter of blatantly pushing the palace Shengjia. This kind of blatant alliances and party formation is actually the most taboo of my father. Otherwise, when Zhang Sun Wuji suggested that Wang Wei come to the Lanzhou Supervisory Army, the father would not send me by surprise. This is like slapped him severely in public and severely admonished him. Therefore, no matter when, my father will not allow others to control the overall situation. No one dares to offend this taboo, no matter who he is!"

"That's right." Qin Mubai nodded and praised, "This time, King Wei is indeed too impatient or too flustered. He did a stupid thing with Changsun Wuji who was also afraid of losing power."

Li Ke said: "I dared to guess after thinking about this. My father himself is a little bit uncomfortable about Li Chu. His old man suddenly pushed me onto the table, maybe it has nothing to do with Li Chu. He just I want to establish a well-matched opponent for Changsun and Wei Wang above the court to achieve the goal of balancing the court!"

"If you really know what you know, your Royal Highness is really wise!" Qin Mubai praised again.

"So, instead of thinking so much, it's better to return to the original one and don't think about anything-I'll just go to war! No matter what happens in the future, the boat will be straight at the bridgehead!" Li Ke smiled calmly.

Qin Mubai nodded, and secretly exclaimed in his heart: As expected, he is the prince who has the royal blood and has grown up in conspiracy and conspiracy since childhood. Li Ke, who has gone through many trials, has made great progress in his cultivation. Now his cold wisdom, sharp vision, and calmness are far beyond my imagination. Originally I wanted to persuade him not to think too much and just concentrate on fighting, but now it seems that these words can be saved!
