Outside the built city of Samuel, in the Tang army camp.

Qin Mubai rides on a horse, draws a bow, and gallops on the gallop of the university field, practicing riding and shooting.

Three arrows were sent, not only did not one arrow hit the red star, but one arrow missed the target far away.

The sergeants who were entourage next to him were taken aback by surprise, and they secretly said in their hearts: What happened to the marshal today? It's out of standard! If you talk about archery, no one in the Guanxi Army except General Xue Rengui can shoot as a marshal!

"I won't practice today!" Qin Mubai stopped the horse, threw the bow, and jumped off the horse. His face was indeed rather gloomy, obviously in a bad mood.

"Master, is there something on my mind?" Qin Shi stepped forward and took the horse, and asked carefully.

Qin Mubai cut his hands and walked forward without saying a word. Qin Shi did not dare to ask any more, so he had to take care of the horses.

"Qin Shi, come to my account later."

"Yes, master."

Qin Mubai left after speaking. The sergeants on both sides held their breath and dared not say anything, for fear of touching the head coach. Qin Shi looked worriedly at Qin Mubai's back, and said secretly: I rarely see the master so upset, what is it?

Because of the previous great contributions in the Battle of the Magic Moon Valley, Qin Shi, a lowly servant, was granted the post of a "Fifth-rank guerrilla general" by the court, and was promoted to Wujin County male ( Noble rank), with food and official products, he is already an upright "nobleman." But he always only regarded himself as a "Qin family dog ​​slave" and refused to change his title.

Later Qin Shi came to Qin Mubai's military tent, and saw that Qin Mubai was staring at his armor in a daze, with a somewhat serious expression. He called out carefully, Qin Mubai recovered and said to him: "Qin Shi, I have something for you to do."

"Master, please!"

"This errand is not ordinary and not very easy to handle. But now, beside me, you are the most worthy of my trust, so I can only send you." Qin Mubai said solemnly.

Qin Shi bowed down sternly, "Qin Shi is willing to go through fires and waters for the master, and never hesitate!"

"Get up." Qin Mubai helped him up, then walked out of the account to scold the guards on the left and right, and then whispered to Qin Shi, "I want you to go back to Datang from Lanzhou all the way to Chang'an. Spread rumors secretly among the cities!"

"What rumors?"

"Just say, Qin Mubai's arrogant and arrogant tail is too big to lose, and he intends to support his soldiers in the Western Regions and set the ground to be king!"

Qin Shi was stunned, "This!...Master, why do you want Qin Shi to do such things that are not good for the master?...I, I won't do it!"

"Don't worry, listen to me." Qin Mubai pressed his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "The situation is very delicate now, it is extremely urgent, and I have no choice but to do it."

"I don't understand." Qin Shimune shook his head, "I only know that if you say bad things about the master, you can't do it!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Well, let me explain briefly to you. Otherwise, if you have a knot in your heart, if you are unwilling to get things done, then you can do nothing." /

"Good, good." Qin Shi nodded repeatedly.

Qin Mubai said: "Simply tell you that Chang'an is now fighting for the crown prince, and there is a lot of trouble. You know, I have a great friendship with King Wu. In the court, that is People in the "same camp" will lose all of them and all will be prosperous. This time, if King Wu fails to seize the protagonist, then in the future, I will most likely be purged by King Wu’s political opponents. Just like the original Hou Junji, do you understand? ?"

"Understand a little bit." Qin Shi was still frowning in confusion, "but why spread the rumors of rebellion?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "The rumors are naturally rumors and will not be true. But the more unfavorable the rumors, the easier it will be in the ears of certain people in the court. This'certain people' , Refers to my political opponents with King Wu. King Wu wants to seize his protagonist, the greatest reliance on is me. At this time, if there are rumors in Guanzhong that Qin Mubai has objections, then whether it is the emperor or my political enemies, They have to be treated with caution. If they are unfavorable to King Wu at this time, wouldn’t they be more likely to push me back? Furthermore, when considering the choice of the crown prince, His Majesty also had to consider the stability of the country and the military Stability. In other words, if King Wu is made the prince safe and sound, then I, Qin Mubai, certainly has no reason to rebel and stand on his own as the king; on the contrary, if someone murders King Wu or fails to seize his concubine, then..."

"The villain seems to understand a little bit again." Qin Shi nodded, "Master is changing the law to protect His Royal Highness Wu, right?"

"Smart!" Qin Mubai smiled and praised, "That's what I mean. It is to protect King Wu, but also to protect myself. Because I don't want to be the second Hou Junji, do you understand?"

"Understood..." Qin took a sigh of relief, but frowned, "But the master wants to damage his reputation in order to protect King Wu..."

"People are not afraid of shadows, it's okay. I don't really want to rebel." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded, "It is precisely because of these rumors that I can lead the soldiers back. In order to prove my loyalty and innocence. When the three to four hundred thousand Kansai army returns to Lanzhou, no matter who it is, we must weigh the powerful backing behind King Wu!... Even if it is not guaranteed that King Wu can succeed as a crown prince , At least, it can keep him safe!"

"The master has worked hard for His Highness King Wu, which is really touching." Qin Shi said emotionally, "The villain tidy up, and he will return to the Central Plains soon!"

"Be careful all the way." Qin Mubai patted him on the shoulder. "You will have to work hard again. You can change your name and change your name and dress as a horse-seller, and return to Lanzhou with the Han caravan. Later, I will give you 20 excellent Dawan horses. This is a gift presented to me by the kings of the nine surnamed kingdoms of Zhaowu. You bring these horses back to Lanzhou and privately give them to Pang Fei, and let him take these horses. Stay in the army for breeding to improve the horse breeds of our Kansai Army."

"Well, the villain took it down... After the villain is gone, the master must take care of himself." Qin Shi knelt and said goodbye.

"Get up." Qin Mubai lifted him up again and smiled, "You are also a big man with officials and nobles. Don't call a villain or a master. Don't kneel on the ground when you are okay. When you return to Chang'an after the war, you have to buy land, buy land, marry a wife and settle down, and create a family business."

Qin Shi grinned and grinned, "I don’t need anything, just eat with my master! From now on, I will be wherever the master is, and I will be able to take care of the master’s daily life. Really!"

"Stupid!" Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Okay, not much to say. Go and prepare, let's start!"

"Well, the villain is there!"

Qin Shi was arranged, and Qin Mubai let out a sigh of relief. Although he was in the Western Regions, Qin Mubai knew that Chang'an must be tense. Li Ke is so lonely, how can he be the opponent of Changsun Wuji and Wei Wang?

Although the Battle of Pingfan made Li Ke's fame rise, once he returned to the court, Li Ke had nothing but fame and merit. How could it be compared with the numerous and intertwined members of Wei Wang's party? Above the court, a large number of people means public opinion and the right to speak. What's more, the grandson has no right to go to the court, and Wei Wang has been in business for a long time near the water. Although in the past two years, Emperor Li Shimin has not trusted the grandson Wuji as before, nor has he respected Wei Wang Li Tai as he did before, but the lean camel is bigger than a horse...Unfortunately, Li Ke is a horse.

After several days of thinking, Qin Mubai's heart is already so clear-Li Ke must become the Prince of the East Palace. This is no longer a simple matter of personal relations between the two, but the connection and unity of the interests of the two !

If King Wei becomes the prince, he will certainly implement the strategy of Changsun Wuji in the future, with Wen Zhishou becoming the master, stopping military expansion, reducing military expenditures and reducing the power of the general. Then, eliminating the military party that originally supported King Wu will become their top priority.

At that time, Qin Mubai will bear the brunt and will be the first to be cleaned!

On the other hand, if King Wu succeeded to the throne, he could reach a unity with Qin Mubai with his "strive and enterprising strategy" similar to Li Shimin, and his consistent policy of "administering both civil and military affairs, pioneering and enterprising". . Then, Qin Mubai's political life will be extended indefinitely, at least he will not become the target of killing the donkey!

In the political arena, there have always been naked power struggles and life-and-death contests, and it is inevitable to intrigue and fight each other. There is no real gentleman here, because this kind of person has long died stiffly.

Qin Mubai wants to support King Wu to enter the East Palace, both private and public. Moreover, in the face of such a big right and wrong, he has never hesitated to use some unconventional means, just like the original fraudulent death of the big Feichuan, unexpectedly showing the victory of a surprise.

……

In the afternoon, an envoy was sent from King Kang’s palace, saying that the rulers of the nine nations of Zhaowu invited Qin Mubai into the palace to enjoy singing and dancing and sharing a dinner. Qin Mubai politely refused on the grounds of ill health.

For several days, the palace issued several invitations, but Qin Mubai did not go. The intention is very clear, is to avoid the Queen of Kang Country.

After the lingering night, the Queen's Pearl's heart seemed to be embedded in Qin Mubai's body and could not be taken back again. But now everything is disturbing, Qin Mubai carelessly loves his children, and he doesn't want to go in and out of the forbidden area frequently. After all, one is the great official of the Celestial Frontier and the other is the king of Kang. The two have no clear relationship between husband and wife. How can they hook up day and night, and the bones of the queen's husband are not cold!

Qin Mubai doesn't want to be scolded by someone pointing at his spine behind his back.

A few days later, Yuwen Hongtai returned from the Sam River with the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses allocated to him by Qin Mubai. He gave an order to Qin Mubai that according to Qin Mubai's military order, Su Dingfang had made peace with the food commander Nuerman. The other party also agreed to Qin Mubai's strategy of peace and alliance and was willing to withdraw the troops. From then on, Da Shi will be governed by the river across the river with Kang Juguo, non-invasion and friendly exchanges. Nuerman also sent a messenger to return with Yuwen Hongtai, and gave him a gift to thank Qin Mubai-a gold machete that Nuerman wore with him, a jewel, and three good horses. He also said that the Great Food Nation will condemn the ambassador to repair with Datang and conclude an alliance of friendship.

Qin Mu Bai sighed: Very good! Finally, the threat of cannibalism was temporarily resolved and precious time was gained! Nuerman is a wise man, knowing that Datang has established a firm foothold in the Western Regions and has formed the established fact that dominates the Western Regions. He slowed a step, and now he still wants to forcibly invade and fight for the supremacy of the Western Regions with Datang, which is no longer possible.

"Fortunately, there has not been a formal war with the Great Food Nation, nor has it completely eliminated the potential threat of the Great Food Nation. As the saying goes, "The bird makes the best bow and hides." A threat to the Great Food Nation, then I, Qin Mubai, will not be'laid off' for one day!" Thinking of this, Qin Mubai smiled secretly, "Destroy Tubo, level the Western Regions, and lose a lot of opponents. But big Food country...I want to write to the court to tell them that this is a Western power comparable to the Tang Dynasty. It must be treated with caution. The nine countries of Zhaowu must be unified into one country to help us guard against powerful enemies and be here. More troops and horses will be deployed in the general government office to prevent accidents..."
