In the evening, Qin mubai held a banquet in Dadu governor's office to meet Jiangxia king and his daughter. Lanzhou will be accompanied by officials to attend, very lively.
The frontier is no more luxurious and extravagant than the capital. The spacious hall is lined up with banquets in the army. Wine jars and barbecues have to be carried. Playing "the music of King Qin's battle", the army dances generously. The silver knife shakes to cut the barbecue, and the cups are dripping with water.
The rugged and heroic atmosphere of the frontier forces is incisive and incisive.
Qin mubai and Li daozong have long been used to such scenes and loved such atmosphere. Princess Wencheng and Wu Meiniang, who attended such a party for the first time, were deeply affected and shocked. In the middle of such a group of bloody men, even the slender women will be infected with a touch of dry cloud heroism.
So Wu Meiniang was drunk, and Princess Wencheng was half drunk.
Wu Meiniang is a restaurant operator. She always drinks very well. It's rare to get drunk. At the moment, her steps are staggering and her eyes are hazy. She seems to be able to squeeze water out of her red face. She smiles and twinkles. She is as charming as magic.
In the world, no man is not attracted to such a woman.
Li daozong gazed at Wu Meiniang. He shook his head and said, "mubai, you are so lucky. These are the most beautiful things in the world Tut tut
"Her charm goes far beyond appearance." Qin mubai smile, rare in front of Li daozong not modest way, "her wisdom, talent, insight and aura, far better than the outside."
"Such women are rare in a hundred years." Li daozong slightly narrowed his eyes and said. "If she is beautiful, she has no talent; if she is capable, she does not have the insight and opinion that is not inferior to men; what's more, she has the unique spirit of ease, which should be the best among people. If she was born a man, she would not lose half of my share. "
"It was." Qin mubai smiles and says in secret that if it wasn't for me, a bastard, I would have been a troublemaker. Wu Meiniang will be your emperor!
"When will you get married?" Li daozong asked suddenly.
"It's still early." Qin mubai replied casually.
With a sudden smile, Li daozong said, "then you have to watch closely. No man does not want a woman like her. It seems that at the beginning, you snatched her from the emperor, right? You have some ability, mubai
Qin Mu Bai grinned awkwardly and joked, "does the Lord want to get in?"
"If it wasn't for your Majesty's engagement, I'd really like to!" Li daozong laughed blatantly, "if a man doesn't want such a woman, she is either a eunuch or a hypocrite. But since she is your woman, that's all. If you think about it, I can't do such things. "
"Ha ha, Wang Ye's true temperament. This is where Qin likes to meet you most." Qin mubai said with a smile, "come on, Mr. Wang, please drink to me!"
"Please! ——Come to my place after the dinner. I have something to ask you in private
"Do as you please."
In the evening, the banquet of the governor's office was over, and Qin mubai sent Li daozong and his daughter back to Xingyuan. Wu Meiniang, who was drunk, was waited on by her confidants and maidservants. She went back to the Dudu's residence first, then sobered up and had a rest.
Qin mubai knew what Li daozong wanted to ask.
Sure enough, not long after he sat down, Li daozong said, "mubai, when I was just outside Lanzhou City, you told me that the position of governor of Lanzhou was granted to you by Chang sun Wuji himself. What does he mean by this move? I can't understand it. "
"If you understand the situation in Lanzhou and the western regions of Helong, you will understand." Qin mubai said, "the imperial court issued a decree to promote my father to be the general manager of guanxi Daoxing military university and the protector of Anxi Dadu. He took charge of all military and political power in Helong and the western regions, and directly handed over half of the country to his old people. On the face of it, my father is a feudal official of the highest rank under one person, but actually he is not. "
"Not bad." Li daozong's expression was dignified, and he said, "since your majesty ascended the throne for more than ten years, it's not easy to sweep Mobei and conquer Turk. However, in Helong and the western regions, the power of the Tang Dynasty was still very weak. Far from it, as early as a few years ago, Lanzhou was also in a state of crisis. It could change hands at any time. Finally, Lanzhou is managed by your father and son, and Datang has a foothold in Helong. Right away, you have made great achievements to recover Da Fei Chuan's attack on Tuyuhun, and Datang's strength in the western front has increased sharply. However, this is only limited to Tuyuhun and Lanzhou, even Yumen pass and Yangguan pass are still in the hands of Tubo people. Your father attacked the enemy for thousands of miles this time. He won eighteen victories in a row, and finally defeated Gao Changguo By this time, Tang Dynasty had the first inch of strength and territory in the western regions. Moreover, it was quite unstable. What kind of guanxi Daoxing military general manager, Anxi Dadu guard, the official position is big enough, but the power in hand is small enough. Besides, it's very dangerous and stressful. To put it bluntly, changsun Wuji is to fly your Qin's father and son out like a kite and throw them to the western regions of Helong. You will live and die on your own. "
"Wang Ye is wise and to the point." Qin mubai took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "there are a total of 100000 troops in the governor of Lanzhou, which is quite a lot to say, but our defense line is quite long. From Tuyuhun dafichuan to Lanzhou, to qishanlian, to Yuguan and Yangguan, north to Ganliang, West to Loulan and Gaochang Thousands of miles away, 100000 troops, is actually a drop in the bucket. Moreover, my father in Gaochang, only more than ten thousand soldiers alone, such as base eggs. Don't say anything about the establishment of an Xi Dadu Prefecture. I'm worried that if those four surnames Gao Chang play any more tricks at the instigation of Western Turks and Tubo, how can my father resist the enemies from all sides? When attacking the enemy from a thousand miles, it is easy to win, but difficult to defend. Although Lanzhou is now as stable as a rock with high morale, this thousand mile defense line is like a mighty Buffalo, but Tubo Turks are like nails. Although buffaloes are strong, iron nails can penetrate the skin of cattle at will and even kill them with one blow. So I actually feel like walking on thin ice. It's very stressful. "Li daozong narrowed his eyes, looked at Qin mubai, nodded his head slowly and said: "it seems that his Majesty's eyes are always unique. Your majesty has already thought of what you have just said in the deep palace and said that I have heard of it. Otherwise. Even though I have always followed his lead, I will not compromise with the moderates and promise to send my daughter down to Tubo. Lanzhou is surrounded on all sides. The enemy's foundation is weak. When your father went deep into Gaochang, he was in great danger. At this time, we can't fight with Tubo any more, we must make peace with it and relieve the pressure of dafichuan and Tuyuhun. Then, Lanzhou can focus on Loulan and Gaochang. Until deep into the western regions. At this time, we are left with only the enemies of Western Turks and small countries in the western regions, one of which is Tubo. Moreover, if the Tubo people agree to make peace and accept the marriage, they are my son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. It is reasonable to ask them to help me. In order to get rid of a strong enemy and gain more allies for the Tang Dynasty. This daughter of Li daozong is worth the loss! "
"The magnanimity of Wang Ye is far beyond Qin's reach." Qin mubai hugged his fist and said with emotion, "Wang Ye used to be the most staunch faction in the war, but he would rather take the whole situation into consideration Tang Dynasty has a loyal minister like you, Liang Xun. Why don't you worry that you can't defeat the whole world? "
"I'm flattered." Li daozong gave a slight smile. He said, "I've been fighting with your majesty since I was young. I've given up my life for a long time. It is a great satisfaction to live to the throne and have children today. Yan'er, she is not only the daughter of the king, but also the daughter of the Tang Dynasty. I don't care to die, but why would Yan'er marry me ha-ha! It's a long way off. I think it's urgent. It is necessary to send envoys to Tubo as soon as possible to talk about the negotiation of peace and marriage with the emperor. No matter whether he agrees or not, he can always win a breath for Lanzhou. I see that you have focused on the change of defense in Liangzhou recently. You are very worried about your father's safety in Gaochang. Your strategy is right. Loulan and Gaochang have decided that their foundation is unstable and there are many crises. The main force of Lanzhou should take over as soon as possible, so as to lay the first foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the western regions. "
"Yes Qin mubai said. "It's been nearly a month since I came to Lanzhou. First, I stabilized the situation in the state and the city. Then I went around to inspect the defense. I was afraid that there would be another chaos in Lanzhou or that Yuyang and Loulan would fall. Then my father would be a broken kite in Gaochang. Liangzhou to Yuyang is almost over, I can take a breath. Now, it's time to train and prepare to go west to meet my father. But this time the imperial court allocated money and food to me. It's really mean and mean. If it had not been for Meiniang's private transportation of 300000 stone grain and grass, I don't know what would have happened. "
"mubai, I know about this. You Don't blame your majesty. " Li daozong looked at Qin mubai with deep meaning and said, "he has his ideas and his difficulties. Do you understand? "
"I understand I don't blame your majesty. Even Chang sun Wuji, who allocates troops, horses, money and food, is not to blame. " Qin mubai sighed and said, "if I were them, I would not fight a war of unknown victory and years with the strength of the whole country and the fate of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, from the time I left Chang'an, I knew very well I'm like a kite that was let out by Datang. I don't know where to fly or when to fall. Because the person who leads the thread just releases it, and doesn't want to take it back. It's hard to say that my father and I, as well as the 100000 troops in Lanzhou, have all been abandoned by the imperial court. If we win, it's an extra surprise; if we lose. The imperial court will not lose a Lanzhou and 100000 troops, and it will not let the country and the dynasty hurt their muscles and bones. "
"It's cruel, but it's true." Li daozong nodded and said, "to think of this proves that you are wise and calm. But you don't have to blame the world. It's a big deal. It's all about death. If there is no Jedi counterattack and the domineering spirit of wrecking the boat, what great things can be achieved? If you win a decisive battle, there's nothing to boast about. If you can play chess in the western region of Helong with the strength of one Prefecture and one county in Lanzhou, and win against the Western Turks of Tubo and the ten small countries in the western region, you will be the real hero of heaven
"Ha ha!"
Qin mubai smiles.
He is holding the tea cup gently, the smile on his face is very interesting. "I never wanted to be a hero," he said easily. I just think that there are always some things a man should do in his life, no matter success or failure. "
Li daozong didn't say much. He didn't like to say anything heroic. He just nodded his head and smile, and said, "I saw a familiar figure at the banquet today. A person is sitting in a small corner and drinking muggy wine. "
"Wang Ye means Hou Junji?"
"Well." Li daozong nodded and said, "I knew when you came to Lanzhou, you would find him. But I also know that he won't let you easily. Do you have any plans or solutions for him? "
"I'm not in a hurry." Qin mubai smiles, takes off his Sabre from his waist and puts it on the table and chair.
Li daozong took a look and said, "this is not the Guiyi Dao that the king gave you. It's beautiful. It suits you
"In a place like Lanzhou, not to mention the generals, it's the martial arts merchants. They usually have swords and swords." Qin mubai said, "the Lord is right. It's an ordinary general's sabre. It's been with me for some time, and it's almost never out of the sheath, let alone blood. Only for decoration. ""What do you want to say?" Li daozong twisted his brows and asked.
"Hou Junji. It's like a knife. " Qin Mu Bai said with a slight smile, "he is simple and unsophisticated, and seems a little obscure and gloomy. It's like the Guiyi Dao that the Lord gave me. "
Li daozong raised his eyebrows and said, "have you ever fought with Guiyi Dao and killed the enemy?"
"Of course. He not only used it to command the Xiangzhou water war and the recovery war of the great African War, but also personally wiped the neck of the enemy. " Qin mubai said. "No blood, no scabbard. Blood comes out of the sheath. Hou Junji, now it's like shrinking in the scabbard. I won't show it off or show off when I'm free. It's only when he goes out to kill people that he'll get out of the scabbard. "
Li daozong gazed at the handle on the table with hawk eyes and said slowly, "the knife can kill people and hurt yourself."
"But that will never be a reason for me to give up my knife." Qin mubai said with a relaxed smile, "just like the Guiyi Dao that the LORD sent me, because it's too sharp and fierce, I can't use it? If so, why should Qin be associated with Dao? "
