Chapter 391

"Fight to the death" four words out, not to mention the stone, it will be Li daozong and other three people into silence.

After a long time, Li daozong said, "mubai, you'd better think twice."

"Don't think twice. Even if I think four or five times, I will make this decision. " Qin Mu looked at Li daozong with a white smile and a firm look in his eyes, and said, "Lord, I don't want you to give me a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages. All of you are understanding people. I can understand that I didn't make this decision out of impulse. It can be said that from the day I became an official, I have always been cautious and submissive, dare not cross the Leichi half step, obediently playing the poor role of a good gentleman. Today is the only day I feel proud of myself. Because, I can finally hold my head high and be myself, even if I am going to die, I will have no regrets. "

They all stare at Qin mubai with different looks. The only difference is that they don't seem to know Qin mubai.

"There is seed." Hou Junji stood up and for the first time took the initiative to give Qin mubai a formal fist. Said, "Hou this cheap life is no longer worth money, you go! I don't want to listen to the rest of the nonsense, so please leave! Qin mubai, when to use Hou, let me know. Hou, I'm playing with you with my head in my hand. Goodbye

Qin mubai looked at him with a smile. Nodded his head: "please go."

Hou Junji has gone. After going out, the laughter broke the tranquility of the night sky.

"Maniac!" Li daozong took a deep breath and said, "mubai, he is a gambler who has lost everything. Don't let him take you. Now, any decision you make is not only related to your personal and family life and death, honor and disgrace, but also your shoulder, carrying the Ningding of the whole Guanxi territory and the life and death of hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians. Take a long-term view. Now your decision is related to the pattern and situation of the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese people in the next hundred years or even thousands of miles. I don't want you to think twice. In the face of right and wrong, men need to have the courage and determination to bear, but also need wisdom and skills. I hope you understand that it is easy to give up life, but difficult to take righteousness. "

"I know what the Lord means." Qin mubai gave a relaxed smile and said, "in the past, Xiang Yu thought a lot when he broke his bridges and fought against the water, but he had no other choice. Now, I'm just like him. My Lord, do you think that I have any choice but to fight against Gar Qinling? "

Li daozong fell into silence for a moment.

Su dingfang said, "mubai has a point. Tubo repeatedly insulted me, killed my envoys, refused to make peace with me, and even cheated us to go to the plateau to gather and annihilate. Even if we don't denounce and crusade against such a vicious and vicious situation, the issue of making peace with each other is absolutely in vain. In this way, how can we let go of the court? On the issue of Tubo, there is no neutrality, only "war" or "peace". Now that they have declared war on their own initiative, we have to fight back. It's better to attack actively than to defend passively. On this point, I very much agree with mubai's idea. As for the others If we blindly consider the consequences and the way out, we will die! "

"If you know me, you'll find a way." Qin mubai gave a sigh of gratitude to Su dingfang and said, "it's not just the trend of the war. Considering the public and private position and the overall situation of Lanzhou, we have to take the initiative to attack. First of all, the messenger who failed to make peace with his relatives was killed. When it came to Chang'an, the government and the public would be shocked. As a result, I am famous in the Tang Dynasty, and the main combatant faction will be active again and have the upper hand. This is good for me. The disadvantage is that I don't think the imperial court will forgive us for going to war with Tubo without authorization. No matter whether the war is successful or not, the most cruel judgment is waiting for me in the end. But I can't take care of that. Fighters are fleeting and require a high degree of secrecy. Do you want me to ask the imperial court for permission and then arrange the war with Tubo step by step? "

"Why not?" Li daozong interrupted Qin mubai and said, "don't forget that if the imperial court gives you everything, you can take it back at any time. If you want to die, you have to. As a minister, the most taboo tail not to drop, bold. Why can't you report to Chang'an quickly, and ask your majesty to make a decision on this matter, and then listen to the arrangement and act according to your orders? "

"It won't work, Lord." Qin mubai said, "not to mention that it will take a lot of time for this letter to come and go to Chang'an, when will there be a decision under the debate between the court and China. It is also unknown. These are not the most important. What's important is that people in the court don't understand the current crisis in Lanzhou. Since Gar Qinling dares to refuse to negotiate peace and attack Lanzhou, who knows if he has any other plans? "

Li daozong was slightly stunned and said, "you mean Gaochang and Puchang

"That's right!" Qin Mu twisted his eyebrows and said, "Gar Qinling is definitely not the kind of rash man with a hot head. He will not declare war on Lanzhou recklessly by himself. Now I have a very ominous premonition in my heart. When I think about the situation in Lanzhou and the previous war, I vaguely feel that From the beginning, we got into his trap and got deeper and deeper. Now Liu Shanyin's death is just an appearance and inducement, which makes me vaguely aware of his far-reaching and sinister intentions! "

"Why do you say that?" Both Li daozong and Su dingfang were shocked."The kaerqin mausoleum is by no means simple!" Qin mubai took a deep breath and spat out heavily, saying, "Lord, Ding Fang, do you remember that when we were in Chang'an last year, Tubo instigated Gaochang rebellion and took the initiative to attack Liangzhou?"

"Of course. What's the matter? "

"It is estimated that since then, a huge trap has been set on Lanzhou." Qin mubai said, "in the battle of Dafei Sichuan, the headquarters of the Tibetan Kar Qinling mausoleum were defeated and abandoned for thousands of miles, thus Lanzhou regained Tuyuhun. The Lord once said that garqin mausoleum joined the army at the age of ten and was in command at the age of fifteen. He had never been defeated in a hundred battles. The failure of the first battle of Dafei Sichuan is undoubtedly an unprecedented stimulus for people like him. He will never be reconciled! So I guess. He immediately had the following series of actions - the first was to send envoys to Chang'an to ask for marriage with the alliance. The goal, of course, is to delay time and gain breathing space. It's easy to find proof of this - the Tibetan emissary heard that his majesty chose Li Xueyan, the prince's beloved daughter, as a princess and was ready to marry Tubo, and then went away! This is absolutely rare in the history of diplomatic relations between the two countries! This shows that Tubo did not come to propose in good faith. The so-called dissatisfaction with the fake princess is just an excuse

"Go on." Li daozong's face was tense.

"Immediately, after the whole rest, the panting Tubo began military operations." Qin mubai said, "they first went out of Kunlun to invade Liangzhou. Cut off the Silk Road business road and Lanzhou's external contact, and hold down the main forces of Lanzhou, so that we have no time for him. Thus, it won time and space for Gaochang rebellion. Then, under the instigation of Tubo and Western Turks, Gaochang rebelled. At the time of the battle between the two factions, my father thought that the military situation was so hot that he could not delay. He ordered his troops to go out of Yangguan in the west, and even fought eighteen victories and went straight down to Gaochang Two. Have you ever thought about why it's so easy for my father to go deep into the army alone and fight 18 victories in a thousand miles in a row, even though he is a tiger general

"Ah?" Both Li daozong and Su dingfang exclaimed, "what do you mean by that. Is it the scheme of feigning defeat set by Gar Qinling, who intentionally lost eighteen battles to Shubao? "

"Isn't it?" Qin Mu Bai frowned and said, "I'm not sure yet, but it's at least fifty percent possible."

"Is his purpose to disperse Lanzhou's forces and let me take care of one thing and lose the other, so as to defeat each other?" Li daozong's face suddenly changed. Big voice way, "so, then uncle treasure danger carry on!"

"Not only that, Gar Qinling is still sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, watching Lanzhou fight with the Western Turks and the western regions, so as to reap profits and put cold arrows behind." Qin Mu Bai's face also became a little iron blue, said: "if there is no accident. My father is in big trouble in Gaochang. At this moment, garqin mausoleum only needs to send a brigade of iron cavalry out of Kunlun to threaten Yuyang pass, and trip puchanghai's Xue wanche's headquarters. Lanzhou is like being locked in an urn. My father and Xue wanche became broken kites. Lord, in such an emergency. Do you still want to persuade me to submit a letter to the court for an order to go to war? After ten and a half days of argument among the ministers, I'm afraid my father and tens of thousands of soldiers are already dead! "

"Ho..." Li daozong is breathing cold air.

Su dingfang said in a deep voice: "in this case, prepare for the worst in everything! Mubai, need to urge Marshal as soon as possible, please he must be as soon as possible class division back to Lanzhou! He also ordered Pu Changhai, Xue wanche and Yuyang to be on guard against Tubo raids. And escort for the commander-in-chief. If we can successfully move this unit back to Lanzhou, we will be able to get rid of our worries and strengthen our strength. "

"Just what I want." Qin mubai cut off the railway. "It's not too late. I can't manage that much. Dingfang, pen and ink serve, I personally write a letter to beg father Shuai class teacher. In addition. Please work hard. You lead my Yifu's ten thousand men and horses to puchanghai in the starry night to pass on my general. Tell Xue wanche that Pu Changhai doesn't want it, but if yu Yang Er Guan is lost, he will dig his own grave and climb in. Don't come back to see me again! "

"No!" Su dingfang solemnly took the order and said, "that When will Xue wanche abandon puchanghai and stick to Yuyang pass? Is it necessary for him to stay until he joins up with the commander before he leaves

“……” Qin Mu's expression is stagnant in his white hand.

He thought: Xue wanche led more than 20000 troops to garrison Pu Changhai, the purpose is to meet his father's headquarters far away in Gaochang. But now, Gao Chang knows nothing about the situation. How should Xue wanche make a decision? ——Make two extreme assumptions. First, my father has realized the subtlety and interests of the overall situation, and decided in advance to leave Gaochang and return to Lanzhou, which is the most ideal situation. In this way, Xue wanche can join his father's troops in the shortest time, and move back to the Yuyang pass smoothly, guarding the door; the other extreme. That is My father's army has been trapped in the snare of the garqin mausoleum, unable to escape, or even completely destroyed

Qin mubai's hand shook. A mass of ink dripping down, cheap into a few petals.

Both Li daozong and Su dingfang's faces changed slightly. They have never seen Qin mubai show such a frightened and flustered look, even if it is a little flash.

"Mubai, what's the matter with you?" Li daozong asked. "When did it make you so scared?"Su dingfang, who was as careful as his hair, advised: "mubai, you can relax. The commander-in-chief has been unstoppable for half of his life. He is resourceful, brave and resourceful. Maybe he has already left safely on his way to Lanzhou! "

"Well..." Qin mubai took back his mind and answered, picked up a piece of paper to write again, and said, "as you said. Prepare for the worst. If I mean, if my father's headquarters have collapsed, then we can't put Xue wanche's headquarters in it any more. "

"You mean Let Xue wanche take the lead in withdrawing the Yuyang pass instead of waiting for the troops of the commander-in-chief? " Su dingfang was surprised and said, "mubai, this It's not right! "

Li daozong frowned and said, "mubai, I understand your mood at the moment. You must wish you could fly to Gaochang and get your father back. But at the moment, you are in charge of the overall situation, and everything should start from the overall interests. You just said that you should prepare for the worst, which is very calm and wise However, we can't abandon Shubao for public or private purposes. Instead, take a compromise. Let's give Xue wanche a month. If you don't come back in one month, it's better. The two troops will retreat to Yuyang pass together. If you don't come back in one month, it's better... "

"Do as the LORD says." Qin Mu's face was as white as iron and his pen was as flying. He quickly wrote down a military order. He took out the seal of his commander-in-chief and covered it heavily. He dried the ink and handed it to Su dingfang, saying, "elder martial brother. Please

Five words made Su dingfang feel heavy. He always knew that Qin mubai was not a frivolous and shallow person. Especially in the position of the Lord of Lanzhou, he was more stable and experienced, and his feelings became complex and deep. At the moment, everyone knows how much Qin mubai wants to get his father back as soon as possible. Even if he orders Xue wanche to send his troops to Gaochang to save Qin Shubao now, it is human nature.

But Qin mubai didn't do it. Because Xue wanche's department must not lose, otherwise not only can not save Qin Shubao, but also will lead to the fall of Yuyang two pass, which makes the Lanzhou gate collapse!

So Qin mubai made the coldest decision. He expected that something had happened to his father and there was no way to recover Do your best and listen to the destiny!

Li daozong looked at Qin mubai with complex and deep eyes. He knew that Qin mubai was not the Qin mubai he knew when he was in Jinzhou. Now, he has been daring to shoulder the heavy responsibilities, and has become more and more mature in military politics.

However, this kind of maturity often costs a lot

Su dingfang led Qin mubai's ten thousand elite soldiers to Yueqi and left the city in the starry night with a heavy military order that could determine the life and death of ten thousand people.

The night is like ink, and the cold moon is in the air.

Qin mubai stands alone at the head of Lanzhou city. He raises his eyes to the northwest. It is as quiet as an ancient stone sculpture.

"Father You're on your way home, aren't you? Do you know how much I miss you... "
