lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

One month was spent in tension and busyness.

The people of the plateau had to accept the fact that their dynasty had "submitted" to Datang. In a month's time, although tribal rebellions occurred occasionally, under the personal persuasion of Abandoned Zong Nongchan and the strong pressure of Qin Mubai, no big waves were set off.

The current situation can be said to be the best ending. It is impossible for the two countries to fight for hegemony without death. The Garqin Tomb knows this fact better than anyone else, so he simply gave himself a judgment, and also used his own death to give praise to the abandoned sect and the people of Tubo to give the last one. A gift-peace.

Quizong Nongchan knows the intention of the Garqin Tomb. In order to live up to the good intentions of the Garqin Tomb, he vigorously persuaded the Tubo people to surrender and not resist after the war.

Many indignant Tubo people could not understand the behavior of Zizong and chanting. In addition to praising the heroic spirit of the Garqin Mausoleum, they began to scold and attack the "humiliating and traitorous" of Zizong and chanting.

There are sporadic rebellions in the four sides of the plateau. Every time they happen, Abandoned Zong and Nongzan must personally go to persuade him. Most of the people who greet him are anger and accusations, and some even kill him, the former Zamp.

"It doesn't matter if they misunderstood me, but they also misunderstood the meaning of Qin Ling's'survive by death'. I'm really sad!" Said Zong Nong praised.

This is the end of the matter. Of course, Qin Mubai wanted to use the abandonment of the clan to make praise to reduce the difficulty of the aftermath to the greatest extent, but the Tubo dynasty implemented the tribal feuding system. After the country has died, many tribal leaders are unwilling to give up their vested interests and power, and it is only logical to launch an armed rebellion.

For these, Qin Mubai relentlessly carried out a powerful armed suppression!

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been killed, do you still care about this?

For more than a month, the plateau finally gradually calmed down.

Counting days, Qin Mubai's report to the court to report victory should also go to Chang'an. I believe the reply will be issued soon. At that time, the endgame of Tubo will be taken care of by the court.

Qin Mubai knew that it was time for him to leave Luo.

On this day, he went to see Li Ke.

After more than a month of recuperation and adaptation, Li Ke's body finally improved. Now, he, the supervising army on behalf of the imperial court, has finally officially assumed full responsibility for the governance of Tubo to clean up the situation. Qin Mubai and Li Ke govern the army and the people, and the cooperation is still perfect.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, I should go." Qin Mubai said straightforwardly.

"Go? Where to go?" Li Ke was obviously surprised.

"You forgot, the court appointed me as the protector of Anxi, my job is to manage the Western Regions." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Paling down Tubo is just a small part of my duties. My main energy is also It must be placed in the Western Regions."

"That's wrong." Li Ke frowned. "The so-called Anxi guardian is just a false job. Tubo should be the place where you, the chief of the Guanxi army marching chief, need to be the most experienced. You say go now. Where can I go?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, I must go. The Tubo war is over, and only civil affairs and collection are left. Such issues should not be handled by me, the frontier military commander, otherwise it would be Presumptuous. Furthermore, now I have a 500,000 army in my hand, and you have all the power bestowed by the court—you are not afraid that someone will say that we are going to rule the land and make ourselves king?"

Li Ke frowned, sighed, and said, "I know it will be the reason. Now you are indeed too high in credit and too strong in military power. On the Tubo plateau, almost everyone only knows Qin Mubai, but I don't know. There is still an emperor in Datang."

"So, I am very acquainted. I will not stay in Tubo, nor will I continue to hold all military power." Qin Mubai smiled, "Unsurprisingly, when the imperial decree is issued, I don’t want to leave and I have to leave. Instead of doing this, I’d better be a good one. I only bring my old Kwansi Army and Uyghur coalition forces back to Lanzhou. One is to stabilize the rear for you to incorporate and govern Tubo in the future, and the other is to look forward to the Western Regions. . As for the aftermath of the Tubo, the soldiers and horses sent by the court, and the soldiers and horses of the Tubo, I don’t care about them."

Li Ke pondered for a moment, his expression gradually becoming serious, and finally he nodded helplessly, and said: "Mu Bai, it is not easy to be a monarch, and it is even more difficult to be a minister. You can know the times and know how to advance and retreat. There are not many people. Although we need you very much now, I know that your decision is wise. Just like when we returned to Chang'an from Xiangzhou, you and I will be separated again."

"Don't worry, I'll see you again soon." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If not surprisingly, the court should stay in the logic and take the full authority to take care of all the aftermath of Tubo. In the next few years, You are going to stay here. And if I don’t be transferred back to Chang’an, I will still stay in Lanzhou. See what happens in the Western Regions, and then decide my next move. But no matter what happens in the future, no more than three years , You and I will go back to Chang'an together."

"Chang'an?" Li Ke took a deep breath and slowly exclaimed, "Three years later, I don't know what the situation is. To be honest, I would rather stay in this remote plateau and be busy all day, rather than return to Chang'an. Go. There, I live very tired."

"It's not that you can't go back if you don't want to go back." Qin Mubai smiled, "Don't forget, we are the ministers of the Tang Dynasty after all. Our roots are in Chang'an and above the court. Tang has no vassal vassal, not now, and there will be no future."

Hearing Qin Mubai’s last words, Li Ke’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, "I understand what you mean. Actually, I don’t need to remind you, my mind is always clear and I will not commit stupidity. Error."

"That's good." Qin Mubai smiled, "Don't wait for a few years. If you meet in a hurry, you will soon be separated. I hope that when you meet next time, you will not be so nauseous and nauseous."

"What?" Li Ke was both angry and funny. "You can take care of your affairs and go! I know that the blueprint for the Western Regions that the emperor and you built together is only half completed. The crusade against Tubo is so important. In the battle, you did not do your best, but planted the most important foreshadowing at Yumen Pass. As far as I know, Su Dingfang is a protégé of Wei Gong Pharmacist, and his talents and virtues are infinitely better than Hou Junji. You stay here. Isn’t it just for today to give him 20,000 elite divisions to garrison the invincible Yumen Pass?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from your Highness. Yumen Guan Su Lie can be said to be my foreshadowing, or it can be said that I left the Guanxi Army's last back road and last A trump card. Although there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses there, it is among the elite of the Guanxi Army. In fact, at the beginning of the war, I was not sure about defeating the Garqin Mausoleum, but I can’t tell anyone. So I We had no choice but to leave Su Dingfang guarding Yumen Pass. In case we lose the battle, we can also unexpectedly evacuate from Kunlun Mountain to Yumen Pass. Of course, my deepest intention is to let Su Dingfang look at the camera from the Western Regions and move. No doubt, when When the Tang Dynasty was fighting the Tubo army, the Western Regions could not be silent, especially the Northern Turkic Court, which had always been ambitious."

"It turned out to be like this..." Li Ke nodded with enlightenment, and said, "I understand. You have long thought that no matter if you can defeat the Garqin Mausoleum, you will not stay longer on the plateau."

"Yes." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, "If you lose the battle, you can only escape; if you win, this place doesn't belong to me. First of all, I dare not take the credit alone, so when I listed the court , I attribute most of the credit to Your Highness, Li Daliang and other generals."

"It agrees with me." Li Ke said in a low voice with solemn expression, "Although everyone knows that you have to take at least 70% to 80% of the great credit for this day, you must never be alone. I am. It’s true that the Tang court attaches great importance to military merit and rewards for meritorious service, but if it is too late, too much credit may not be a good thing!"

"So, I am definitely not going to conquer the Western Regions myself. The next thing I have to do is to stay in Lanzhou and enjoy the Qingfu and wait for the day when the court transfers me back to Beijing." Qin Mubai smiled, "Even if the Western Regions have I believe that Su Dingfang will be able to settle the war! Even if Lanzhou’s support is needed, I will not go out in person. I will send Xue Rengui to it!"

"Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai, and Pang Fei, this time they have all made great achievements. It will not be long before they will fly to the top. The eight military platforms under your command are also very good. The four court pillars and eight military platforms of the Guanxi Army, only Su Dingfang has not shined yet-I can see that you have left Su Dingfang the best chance!" Li Ke suddenly realized, "Mu Bai, there is one thing I really admire you. No matter when, you You are so clear-headed, and the overall situation is very good. Also, you are not greedy and generous, and you are willing to become others and share the results with others and never monopolize. No wonder you have such a high prestige in the Guanxi Army, even those who have just joined the group. Li Daliang and others are also very convinced of you!-I want to say that people like you are more suitable for being born in an emperor's house!"

"Don't! I'm not suitable at all!" Qin Mubai smiled, "Let's talk about it! Later I will go back to the barracks, rectify the soldiers and horses and prepare to go."

"Does it need to be in such a hurry?" Li Ke said, "Well, let me arrange a holiday for you, right? People like Abandoned Sect Nongchan and Li Daliang, you will see you more or less again."

"More things are worse than less things, I'll go quietly and low-key!" Qin Mubai smiled, "Actually, I'm just a thug. After the fight, what am I doing here? The next thing is left to you, the righteous master. In addition, if one day the court gives me a big reward, it means that my days in the Kansai Army have come to an end and it’s time to return to Chang'an."

"Maybe, I'm the same..." Li Ke smiled bitterly and said, "Then we will get together again in the future!"

"Get together again!"

Later, Qin Mubai came to the barracks. A military order was issued to ask Xue Rengui to recruit the old squad of the former Guanxi Army and return to Lanzhou. The route chooses Sun Bo and Golmud and travels southeast along the Kunlun Mountains. In this way, you can check whether these places are peaceful or not, and secondly, the terrain will fall relatively smoothly, which is good for everyone's health.

For the past few days, the blood lotus has been a little bit cold, Qin Mubai took a bit of speech, and finally made her happy. At this time, sisters Tantai told Qin Mubai privately that the blood lotus was probably pregnant.

This news made Qin Mubai a little surprised, but Xuelian denied it all the time. Qin Mubai cared about her face and didn’t ask him fiercely. He was only thinking about how to get her back if he returned to Lanzhou. Home is gone...

At night, the Guanxi Army rose up from camp and left the city quietly.

Qin Mubai rode on a horse, looking back at some of the royal cities under the ink-colored night sky, countless fragments and countless faces, passing through his mind like a movie, he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

Xue Rengui led his troops to the forefront. The true God of War of the Kansai Army is always like an arrow from the string, walking in the forefront without any disadvantage. Yuwen Hongtai was seriously injured, and Qin Mubai arranged fifty people to carry him on a stretcher or a carriage along the way. In addition, some of the wounded were also better placed and cared for.

Compared with the pride and enthusiasm during the expedition, the Kansai Army, who returned from the battle, did not sing triumphant songs all the way, but was more tired and exhausted.

"This army needs recuperation." Qin Mubai decided that no matter what happens in the next three months, the Guanxi army must stay in the rear for a period of time. Otherwise, the elite army may be dragged down. The most tiring one should be following Xue Rengui, the Western Expedition, the Northern Expedition, and the Western Expedition to aid Yumen to fight against Tubo. This group of men ran around Kyushu almost in a year, and it is a miracle that they are still supporting them and not falling down.

The marching speed of the Guanxi Army was not fast, and it took almost 20 days to reach Golmud.

In front of me, there is a mountain called Kunlun.

Sure enough, it is towering in the sky, magnificent.

Qin Mubai ordered that he stayed at the camp for three days before leaving.

"Marshal, it is said that Kunlun is a sacred mountain, and Golmud has the water of the Jade Lake. Why not worship the gods here and pay homage to the soldiers who died!" someone suggested.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Even if Kunlun has gods, they probably don't like me. You forgot, I let Pang Fei blow up the water in Yaochi and flood Golmud!"

Everyone laughed and said, "That is at most the Tibetan gods dissatisfied with you. We only worship the gods of the Central Plains! According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West lived in Kunlun?"

"Okay! Anyway, we are going to rest for a few days, we will climb the sacred mountain Kunlun, worship the gods and sacrifice the spirit!"

It was winter, and Ruixue was flying thousands of miles away with silver makeup. The Kunlun ancient mountain that stands majestically is so magnificent!

Qin Mubai, Xue Rengui, Pang Fei, and other generals, as well as the Ashina blood lotus who strongly requested to go to see the sacred mountain together, boarded the Kunlun Mountain and looked at the roaring Yaochi water.

"Kunlun, really worthy of the word valiant!" Qin Mubai climbed high and looked into the distance, showing his heart and mind.

"Mu Bai, do you think the gods will lead you to anger?" Ashina's blood lotus smiled a little teasingly, "You dare to go wild in Kunlun, you are bombing Yaochi and murdering!"

"The world is not benevolent, and everything is a dog." Qin Mubai smiled, "I don't know if there is a **** in this world, if there is, it may be in the eyes of God, there is not so much right and wrong that we have said. . It’s like when we look at a group of newborn dogs, they want to fight each other, and they can only rely on them."

"Then what does God mean to us?" Xuelian said.

"It's not that I disrespect the gods, I think God is a spiritual sustenance and beautiful thoughts for us!" Qin Mubai said, "When people encounter problems that cannot be solved, they should ask God. , Then who can God ask for? If there are so many gods in the world who are compassionate and helpful to others, how come there are so many **** death and suffering creatures? So in the final analysis, it is better to ask for yourself, and take control of yourself. Destiny!"

After listening to the blood lotus, he was silent for a moment and said: "Mu Bai, I only now know the meaning of the word'warrior'."

"Talk about it?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"I used to think that those who wield a scimitar fearlessly and fight invincibly on the battlefield are warriors." Xuelian said, "Now I understand that the true warriors are those who dare to face and challenge. And strive to change their destiny!"

Qin Mubai smiled without saying a word, looking far into the uninterrupted Kunlun Mountains, letting the wind and snow all over the sky fly by, his heart is like a galloping horse, and his thoughts are endless.

At this moment, he is only missing one person, someone who will never appear next to him again, and will never disappear in his heart.

"Blood lotus, according to your statement..." After a long time, Qin Mubai said suddenly, "I should be regarded as the son of a warrior!"
