Chapter 379

Not until the third day, that night, Xue wanche's surprise happened.

At that time, Qin mubai refused Xue wanche's proposal to go to a restaurant in the city for dinner. Instead, they made do with eating lunch and drinking wine in the post house. They discussed some military affairs.

Just then, Hou Junji came to visit Qin mubai.

Xue wanche said strangely: "here you are! Incredible

"No wonder. I know exactly what he's thinking. No matter how to disguise, it is futile. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "come on, please take the seat of Hou Sima

Hou Junji came in. He took a look at Qin mubai and Xue wanche. He did not salute or greet them, so he stood abruptly in the hall and said flatly, "if the governor returns to Lanzhou, can he take hou to Lanzhou?"

"Yes." Qin mubai agreed without thinking.

"So, Hou left." Arched his hand, Hou Junji turned and left.

Xue wanche was stunned, and his face suddenly revealed that he was not about to stop Hou Junji. Qin mubai stopped him and let Hou Junji leave.

"It's rude of him to have no respect for himself!" Xue wanche gritted his teeth and said, "when you enter the hall, you don't even care about the most basic etiquette. You have no address or bow. You are just like a barbarian!"

"A big man doesn't care about details, so why bother?" Qin mubai said with a nonchalant smile, "every day there are more than a thousand people bowing to me. What's the point? Hou Junji is a man of uprightness and fire. He can't do anything hypocritical and polite. If he is respectful to anyone with good manners, it is to respect him from the bottom of his heart. "

"Why did he go to Lanzhou with the young commander?" Xue wanche said curiously.

"It's me. I will do the same Qin mubai said with a smile, "if one day you want to exchange heart and soul with someone to help you in the same boat, general Xue, what kind of person will you choose?"

"Someone I know very well and trust, of course." Xue wanche replied without thinking.

"Isn't that it?" Qin mubai smiles and says, "judging from Hou Junji's current situation, he does not dare to make any decision easily. Any slight movement of him may involve his life or even his family. To me, it's just an additional general in Lanzhou, but to him, it's about life and death. At the moment, he doesn't know anything about me. How can he change his mind with me? He will follow me to Lanzhou. You just want to get close to me and get to know me. "

"I see!" Xue wanche suddenly realized and said, "it seems that Hou Junji is not so disheartened and lazy on the surface! He can think so carefully, it can be seen that he has a plan in mind. A man with a dead heart can't do this. "

"So I say that Hou Junji is not reconciled. He still has great aspirations." Qin Mu Bai turned his wine glass and said with a playful smile, "he is like a tiger in a cage. Even if you fall asleep. It's not going to be a cat. As for when he wakes up, it depends on who and when he opens the cage

Xue wanche nodded thoughtfully and said, "but the man who opened the cage may be the owner of the tiger, or he may be the first to eat it!"

Qin Mu Bai smiles slightly, "I'd like to try."

Two days later, Qin mubai left Liangzhou and called Hou Junji.

"Is the governor going back to Lanzhou?" Hou Junji said lukewarm.

"Don't rush back to Lanzhou. I'm going to dafichuan first to inspect the army there and inspect the defense. " Qin mubai said, "elder martial brother, if you wish, you can go together."

"Just go, I don't care." Hou Junji said faintly, "I have already been expelled from the school. Don't call me elder martial brother. Besides, I can't rise to the top."

"Then please, housima." Qin Mu Bai smiles and says, "half an hour later, you're ready."

"Hou is a lonely family. He has nothing to prepare and can leave at any time." Hou Junji said, "if the governor of Dadu agrees, I'd like to take two maidservants and concubines to wash clothes and boil water for me."

"Whatever you want." Qin mubai readily agreed.

Hou Junji gave a cold smile and said: "women's relatives or prostitutes are not allowed to accompany the army in the military. As a general, don't you know? Why do you indulge me so much? "

Qin Mu Bai glanced at him and sneered: "rules and decrees have always been used to restrict most people, not all people. And you can be one of the few. I'd love to. How about that? "

Hou Junji was obviously surprised, but he immediately covered up the past and said, "it's really a little magnanimous and you know some human feelings, which you are better than Li Jing."

"Rules are dead, people are alive. And the rules are made by people. " Qin mubai said calmly, "as long as I don't touch the bottom line and violate major principles, I'm a good person to speak."

"No more nonsense, let's go now!" Hou Junji coldly dropped a sentence, no longer take words.

Qin Mobai gathered Baiqi guards and left Lanzhou with Hou Junji to inspect the military area of dafichuan.Along the way there are a few days journey, Hou Junji rare words. Walking, eating and sleeping with Qin mubai, he seems to be a superfluous figure. He never talks to anyone and is indifferent to Qin mubai, as if he is always aloof.

Qin mubai is also very calm, rarely take the initiative to talk to him, let him a quiet cold eye. He knew that although Hou Junji was silent and independent, he always paid close attention to and observed him. Qin mubai's words, deeds and every move fall into Hou Junji's eyes.

For Hou Junji such a character, Qin mubai never dare to despise. They have gone through the turbulent times and military half of their lives. Their body and mind have experienced the tempering of blood and fire. In addition, they have read countless people, and the city government has a deep and old eye. There is no doubt about that. In front of such people, any disguise and affectation is futile. His insight and judgment will be far beyond his imagination.

Just like in the face of Emperor Li Shimin and his father Qin Shubao, don't lose your sense of propriety by playing smart. Natural random, sincere treat each other, do these eight words.

All the way, Hou Junji said no more than ten words. What kind of evaluation he got in his mind, Qin mubai did not know, and did not want to know. After all, a tough melon is not sweet. If he really has no chance with him, or does not have the leadership and personality charm to convince him, then even if he reluctantly agrees, he will not be able to last long, or he will be haunted.

In this way, it is better to let nature take its course.

Here comes dafeichuan.

The barracks were cleaned up, and the army was in a solemn posture. Compared with when it was just built two years ago, it has added a lot of quality.

"Xue Wanjun's ability to run the army is really good." Qin mubai felt it.

Hou Junji cold smile: "but so."

Qin mubai took a look at him and asked with great interest: "listen to this tone, Hou Sima has some complaints about general Xue's camp arrangement?"

"What can we say about the grass chicken battle?" Hou Junji said with a sneer, "this kind of camp array, if you are a leader, you will be able to fight against Tubo barbarians. This barracks array is called "Fenghou holding its base and dahouying". If you meet a general who is familiar with the art of war, 3000 iron cavalry can greatly break the array. "

"Can you?" Qin mubai asked.

Hou Junji tit for tat mouth, provocative way: "do you want to give you three thousand cavalry try?"

"There are 40000 soldiers here." Qin mubai said, "there's no joke in the army. If you can't break the battle. What about it? "

"Please behead me." Hou Junji lightly threw out these four words, turned his face, no longer words.

Qin mubai took a deep breath and waved his hand: "come here, general Xue Wanjun. The whole army was cleaned up, and three thousand iron cavalry were set up to let Hou Junji lead the army to break the camp. "

Some of the hundred cavalry soldiers nearby were scared. It was almost impossible for the 3000 iron cavalry to break the camp of 40000 troops. Although Hou Junji is a well-known veteran general in the battlefield, Xue Wanjun is also extraordinary. How can he break the battle so easily?

However, Qin mubai's military order had been issued, so the guards had to go to the barracks to invite Xue Wanjun and convey Qin mubai's military order.

Hearing that Qin mubai was suddenly driving to dafeichuan, Xue Wanjun was both surprised and happy. However, hearing of such a strange military order, he could not help changing his face: "when did the young commander become so playful? Let Hou Junji break our camp, and let his own people beat his own people. No matter which side wins or loses, it's not good in the end! "

Bai Qi, the herald, could only smile bitterly and said, "young commander, you have your own opinions. We can't figure it out. Since he has issued the military order, general Xue, please carry it out! "

Xue Wanjun had to bite his teeth, and his face also showed a layer of unconvinced anger. He said, "then carry out the military order - Hou Junji, a bastard, is really deceiving me too much! If we don't fight back this face in front of the young commander and thousands of soldiers, how can we stand in the future?! ——Come on, beat the drums, gather the generals, order the troops and send the array! "

The barracks of tens of thousands of sergeants moved all at once. There are many banners and banners for the rectification of the three armed forces. Hou Junji also counted out the three thousand cavalry, led by Xue Wanjun himself out of the camp and came to Qin mubai.

Xue Wanjun ran forward with his horse. First he gave Hou Junji a cold glance, and then he bowed to Qin mubai: "young commander! After finishing the rectification of the troops and horses, please issue a military order! "

Qin Mu nodded his head and said, "hand over the three thousand cavalry to Hou Junji. Go back to the camp and prepare to resist the enemy."

"If there are casualties, what should we do?" Xue Wanjun gouged out Hou Junji and said in a deep voice.

"Hou is committed to it." Hou Junji glanced back at him and said coldly, "are those who march and fight afraid of death or injury? If you are afraid of death, Xue Wanjun will be here to watch the battle with the young commander. If you are afraid of death, all your soldiers will go home to nurse their children. "

"You Hou Junji, don't deceive others too much! I lost when I was young. I don't see your face! ——Young commander, I'll go back to camp first and get ready! " Xue Wanjun angrily glared at Hou Junji and pulled his horse back.

Hou Junji looked at Xue Wanjun's back, sneered and said, "can you stop Hou Junji? Don't say it's three thousand elite cavalry. I can break such a desolate array even if I'm a five hundred swordsman! Xue Wanjun, the brave are brave, but he is not wise enough to plan. These figures are not enough to be a handsome person. That's a reckless man"Don't talk big too soon." Qin mubai said with a cool smile, "Hou Sima, I know that you have been in the army for many years. You are skilled and unique in the use of troops, and you have won the true biography of your mentor Wei Gong. You are not weak in horse, footwork and attack. Qin did not learn from his master for a long time, but he was also familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the array. This camp can be described as regular, no surprise. However, the more seemingly ordinary things are, the more extraordinary they are. Husma, you have to be careful. "

"Hum!" Hou Junji sneered again and said. "After the wind, the weak position is Xun. If there is an elite army from Xun Wei, his army will be defeated. This time I don't need a surprise attack. I use my main soldiers to attack and kill from xunmen. The governor of Dadu can go to inform Xue Wanjun that Hou should retreat 15 Li to the north, and then lead his troops and horses to fight in from xunmen half an hour later! "

Having said that, Hou Junji rode away without wearing armor, pulled out a long gun in his hand, and rode away with the three thousand irons.

Qin Mu Bai could not help shaking his head and laughing, "it's really crazy. But Hou Junji, Hou Junji. I personally laid out the great array of the rear camp. How can I not know the advantages and disadvantages of such ordinary arrays? If your 3000 troops break my 40000 troops' camp, I'll find a steamed bread to kill you! "

Half an hour later, the army sounded a drum horn to show the enemy police.

For example, at this time, the army should be ready for the sword to come out of its sheath and the arrow to go up. But it happened that the 40000 troops that had just been assembled scattered and returned to their respective camps. As usual, there was no tense atmosphere for half of their life.

Fifteen miles away, Hou Junji immediately shot. Looking at the distant camp with a sneer.

"Xue Wanjun has great ambition but few talents; Qin mubai has shallow vision. Today, Hou will let you open your eyes and know what war is

On the Daying plate, at the gate of Xunwei village, the thick gate of two rows of carved fortresses was pulled open, revealing pieces of scarlet cloth and silk inside. Hundreds of sergeants came forward in order, opened the cloth and silk one by one, exposed the long gun barrel of black and cold, and pointed to the sky.

Qin mubai stood in front of the row of red cannons with his hands cut on his back. Slanting the corner of the mouth, the expression ponders.

Xue Wanjun said: "Hou Junji is too frivolous. Young commander, I don't want to kill my brother with a big gun in red. "

"He stepped back fifteen miles, which showed his contempt for us." Qin mubai said with a smile, "when you reach ten li, fire a hundred guns. Let him know why I can recover dafichuan with 200 people. Let him know that in this world, there are not only riding battles and walking battles, but also artillery battles! "

"Just what I want!"

Hou Junji took the lead and rushed in. After a few months, he jumped his horse again and galloped on the battlefield. Hou Junji couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although it was not a serious fight, it was like a hungry wolf smelling the strong smell of blood. His fighting spirit was all inspired, and his pride and wildness burst out together.

Under his leadership, three thousand iron cavalry came at a gallop like the wind rolling the remnant clouds.

It was an impossible task to break through the 40000 formation with 3000 troops. But in Hou Junji's eyes, it's as common as killing chickens and cutting vegetables. It was almost his instinct to March and fight, just like holding vegetables.

"The soldiers are not numerous, but excellent. They will not be brave, but resourceful. Xue Wanjun, Qin mubai. You don't look down upon me! " Hou Junji thought to himself, facing the fierce wind, his mouth filled with a touch of irony and proud sneer.

The cavalry moved so fast that they could see the camp in a twinkling of an eye.

At this time, suddenly in the mid air, a dazzling red electric light, accompanied by rolling black smoke, down the sky. And then there was a deafening roar!

Just three or five miles in front of the cavalry group, the mountains collapsed and the rocks were flying. It was as shocking as the mountains!

Hou Junji, who is full of fighting spirit and blood, is almost startled and stops in a hurry. Exclaimed: "did the earth move?"

Looking back, the three thousand iron cavalry behind him was a stone's throw away from him. It had stopped long ago. All the soldiers showed fear and held their horses back!

"What's the matter? What's going on? " Hou Junji exclaimed, "what happened in front of you? Why are you stagnating? It's a violation of the military law to flinch! Is that how Xue Wanjun brought his soldiers? "

A military academy photographer came immediately, patiently arched Hou Junji and said, "general Hou, you don't know something. This is dafichuan's magic gun in red. Don't say it's human and horse body, even gold, iron, jade and stone will be broken to pieces under its great power My brothers and I would rather be protected at least by the military tribunal than be foolhardy and fall into pieces! "

"What did you say? What the hell is the red suit cannon? " Hou Junji angrily roared, took off the whip from the saddle, angrily whipped the military academy, "come forward! Come forward with me and fight

The military academy neither dodged nor resisted. Instead, it just stood up and let him whip. It just looked at him coldly and said: "the soldiers trained by major commander Qin and general Xue have no cowards. The last general is not afraid of death, but death must be valuable! General Hou is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. How can I let my brother jump into the fire pit? If general Hou wants to kill the last general, he will do it. In any case, the end will not allow the brothers behind to take a step forward! ""Boom boom!"

Another row of artillery shot down, the sky and earth shaking, smoke rolling in front, like the reversal of heaven and earth, volcano burst out.

Hou Junji trembled all over, turned his head and watched the rolling smoke, his face as earth color and numbness.

After three rounds, everything was quiet. Only the east wind whistling, rolling up black smoke and dust.

Hou Junji stood on his horse, looked at the front and murmured to himself: "originally, the weakest place is defended by such magic tools Hou Junji, Hou Junji, you've lived in vain for half of your life. You're so frivolous even when you're old Mr. Qin, it's yours! Today, it's not you, Qin Sanlang, nor Xue Wanjun, who have opened your eyes. I, Hou Junji, am a frog in the well

After a few miles on his horse, Hou Junji saw craters. There are still many residual flames and strong smell of smoke.

Imagining these shells falling on him, Hou Junji had to shake his head and close his eyes, "no matter how exquisite the tactics are, no matter how brave the soldiers are, how can they face such heavenly power?"

A string of hoofs sounded in the distance, and a ride came alone. Hou Junji fixed his eyes on Qin mubai.

He couldn't help but move his eyes a few times, a little embarrassed on his face, and stood still.

Qin mubaipai will come right away. Looking at Hou Junji naturally, he didn't speak. He just looked at Hou Junji uneasily.

"You won." After a long time, Hou Junji spat out these three words. His face was a little ugly, but his eyes were still rebellious. He said coldly, "it's common to win or lose, you What's red and what's gun is really beyond my expectation. It can be called the king of wonder. Hou was convinced of the loss. Take this life as you please. "

"Oh Qin mubai chuckled and said, "if you can afford to lose, you can win. Hou Junji, you do have the demeanor of a general. I'll leave your life in your custody for the time being. "

Hou Junji suddenly flashed in his mind and said, "I heard that you used this kind of mysterious utensils to beat the Tibetan soldiers and horses stationed in dafichuan out of their wits, so as to recover here with hundreds of people, right?"

In the past, the facts of the first Sichuan war and the existence of the artillery in red were high-level military secrets, and few people knew about them. It's not surprising that Rao, a senior official like Hou Junji, is only aware of his weakness.

Qin mubai gave a light smile and said: "to be specific, 200 artillery recovered dafichuan. However, 200 artillery troops alone can not do this. For example, the blade of killing is only that shallow layer, but. Without the blade, the handle and the power of wielding, the blade is useless. Do you see what I mean? "

"Do you want hou to be your blade and handle?" Hou Junji stares at Qin mubai and says.

Qin Mu Bai nodded and said, "a foot is short, an inch is strong. The cannons in red are not invincible. Otherwise, the banners of Tubo people would not be flying on the snow covered plateau. If we want to attack and destroy the fortress, we have to rely on the infantry of Tang Dynasty.

Hou Junji stares at Qin mubai with a pair of Hawking eyes. He suddenly gives a sneer and shakes his head: "Hou's life is yours, but it doesn't mean it's yours. I'll work for you. "

Finally, he solemnly added, "I don't agree!"

"It doesn't matter. One day, you'll agree." Qin mubai patted the saddle with his whip, smiling indifferently, pointed to the direction of the camp and said, "go back to the camp, good wine and meat are ready. Just now the roar of guns, it is welcome to our salute

Hou Junji took a long, dreary breath and clapped his horse forward without saying a word. From the corner of his eye, Yu Guang glanced at Qin mubai. He seemed to say to himself, "I admit you won, but I didn't lose. If there's anything else that surprises me and shocks me, just let it out. "

"You're surprised. Are you shocked?" Qin Mu Bai laughed and said, "I really won."
