Late at night, most of the governor's study is still lit, the shadow Chuo Chuo.

Qin mubai stood alone in front of the big map, gazing for a long time.

Lanzhou is facing a huge catastrophe. Dafeichuan, the war is coming. Although Gar Qinling is a barbarian, he is a famous general for a while. He has a long history and is a strong enemy. At the same time, the vitality of Lanzhou has not yet been fully restored, the military and people's livelihood are in a state of great waste, and its strength is not strong. At present, in addition to the 50000 garrison of dafichuan, the only troops Qin mubai can take out are the 34000 left Weiwei field army led by Hou Junji outside Lanzhou. The total number is less than 100000, and less than half of them are recruits

It's hard to make a meal without rice. Qin Mu's eyebrows are locked.

If it's just a gap in the number of troops, it's just a gap. Gaochang, puchanghai, Yuyang two pass that area, a total of 50000 Lanzhou elite detained, now is quite passive into a huge trap, life and death. If the troops of this brigade were transferred back to Lanzhou, Qin mubai would have full confidence and grasp to fight against garqin mausoleum.

However, it is not so easy to let go of garqin mausoleum's deliberate attempt to lure the enemy to divide the main forces of Lanzhou? He used a knife to kill. Use western Turks, Gaochang and other western regions countries to contain Qin Shubao, set fire in the backyard and take advantage of the fire It has to be admitted that Gar Qinling's hand is very beautiful, which is enough to show his good overall view and exquisite strategic deployment ability.

This time, the war is no longer a pure battle before the battle. This is related to the overall trend of Helong and the western regions and the game of international forces.

Originally, these events should be solved by the Tang Dynasty. But now, all the pressure on Qin mubai's shoulder. At the same time, it's hard to say whether the court will receive Qin mubai's favor. It's estimated that in the end. He's going to be punished.

"Oh!..." The corners of Qin Mu Bai's mouth went up with an indifferent smile, and he could not help chanting, "the sea is flowing, and the hero is showing his true colors! I haven't done anything out of line for many years. I'm always so timid and submissive. I'm really tired! Karchin mausoleum, I'm ready. Come and fight with me

"It's a great time to be a hero!"

The door was suddenly pushed open and Hou Junji came in.

"Finally let me see your ambition and arrogance." Hou Junji looks at Qin mubai with a smile. The eyes are sharp.

Qin mubai put down the lamp and said with a smile: "if a man has no ambition and negative report, what's the difference with walking dead?"

"You don't have to argue." Hou Junji went to a big chair beside Qin mubai and sat down. He looked at him with both hands holding his chest and leaning his head. He said with great interest, "tell me the truth, do you want to support the army and build a separate regime?"

"Bullshit." Qin mubai gave a sneer and refused to reply.

"Don't be naive." Hou Junji said, "at this point, even if you are not independent, you have to support the army and respect yourself. Otherwise, there will be a dead end. "

"Do you mean to let me stay in power?"

"Of course." Hou Junji said, "I don't like to talk nonsense. I admire your determination to fight to the death with garchinling. But I also want to advise you not to let go. If you lose clean, you're at the end of it. "

"What do you mean?" Qin Mu Bai squinted at him.

Hou Junji grinned and said: "the frontier officials, the marshals at the edge of the town, all raise the bandits and fatten themselves. It is well known that cunning rabbits are cooked by running dogs. In this war, if you really kill the garqin mausoleum, your road will come to an end. In the same way, if you lose, you will be even more doomed. "

"Oh!..." Qin mubai laughed and said, "thank you for your kind reminding. But if I want to appease the traitors or be timid, I don't have to be so good at it as I am now. I'd like a piece of paper to be sent to Chang'an. Everything is up to you. Why do you have to suffer so much? "

"Qin mubai, you're really a mantis, you can't measure your strength." Hou Junji sneered, "do you think you can compete with a dynasty in Tubo and dozens of countries in the western regions with your own strength? Don't be silly! ——You must know that when the imperial court left us in Lanzhou, we were regarded as abandoned soldiers. No matter who comes to Lanzhou, they will not seek reactive power, but seek no fault. "

"I understand that, but I'm not the" whoever it is. " Qin mubai said, "in fact, this is not the original intention of the emperor. In order not to arouse conflicts between the two factions, your majesty had to temporarily slow down the implementation of the military and national plan of Lanzhou. "

"Your Majesty can't solve all the problems alone." Hou Junji suddenly interrupted Qin mubai and said, "you are not in the center. You don't understand the subtlety. Think about it. If everything can be decided by your majesty, how can there be so many disturbances and disputes? Such as Li Chu, your majesty does not know how much he wants to abolish the crown prince and establish the king of Wei, but what is the result? Does your majesty not know that Li Zhisheng, the king of Jin, is cowardly and incompetent, but as a result, it is the king of Jin who is now the governor of the state. What does that mean? ——In the face of the overall situation, even his majesty is powerless. I have only one meaning to tell you so much - don't be too naive to regard your father-in-law emperor as a talisman. Zhuge Liang still cut Ma Su with tears. What are you"Don't worry, I haven't been naive enough." Qin mubai looked at Hou Junji with bright eyes and said, "what do you want to tell me when you come here today?"

Hou Junji stood up and stood in front of Qin mubai with his hands on his back, saying, "do you think about the consequences? Do you really decide to fight against the sky alone

"Of course." Qin mubai also did not evade looking at him, "you go on."

The corner of Hou Junji's mouth rose slightly, showing a rare kind smile, "then, Hou will rest assured to follow."

"Thank you very much." Qin mubai said with a smile, "with your help, great things can be achieved."

"Yes? But you don't trust me completely Hou Junji shook his head.

"How can I see it?"

"Su dingfang leads Yi's troops out of the city at night. I don't know what he's doing, but why not me? " Hou Junji said, "you gave me the command of the 40000 field troops in Lanzhou, but the elite of Yi's mansion was always in my hands and refused to let go. When it comes to urgent military affairs, the first one to send is still Su dingfang. Qin mubai. You don't have to use people to be suspicious. Since you can't believe me, Hou, why do you want to stick a hot face on your cold ass? "

Qin Mu Bai shook his head, turned to look at the military map and said nothing.

"No more words?"

Qin mubai still smiles but does not speak.

"Qin mubai, at such a critical moment, if the upper and lower levels can't work together, it's hard to succeed." Hou Junji said, "Hou Junji is not unreasonable. If you can't believe me, Hou doesn't want to take his own life in a muddle, and you won't be in a dilemma. "

"Hou Junji." Qin mubai said, "I sent Su dingfang to send troops out of the city to Pu Changhai to send military orders and receive my father's return."

"So what?"

Qin mubai was silent for a long time and said, "no one can guarantee that my father Shuai will come back safely. If there is a mistake, Qin mubai won't blame you, but how do the army and people in Lanzhou treat you? "

Hou Junji's expression suddenly changed and he was suddenly dumb.

"I don't have to tell you. In the eyes of the army and the people of Lanzhou, you are an outsider, and sooner or later you are still suffering from blindness and exclusion. Although you are a veteran in the battlefield, your popularity and prestige in the Lanzhou army are not very good for the time being. " Qin mubai said, "how can I give you such a task? If you are in a hurry to make contributions, you will have a place to use sooner or later. You have accumulated enough energy and energy for me to make a go of it. Why do you care so much? "

Hou Junji took a deep breath and spit it out slowly. He nodded slightly and said softly, "thank you very much."

It's easy to say these two words in anyone's mouth. Only Hou Junji is difficult.

Qin mubai said with a smile: "the field army of Lanzhou zuoweiwei will be handed over to you. This is the only main force I have left in my hands. You can't let me down

"Don't worry. Whether it's the garqin mausoleum or the barbarians of Western Turks, Hou Junji hasn't paid attention to them yet! " Hou Junji sighed again and said, "ever since. Houmou rest assured to follow you boldly, gallop the battlefield, proud of heaven and earth! No matter what the outcome is, it's a great joy

"That's exactly what I want."

"Goodbye!"

Hou Junji had just left. A maid of Wu Meiniang found her study and said that the night was deep. The princess and her master asked him to go back to Qiongyu villa to have a rest.

When Princess Gaoyang came to Lanzhou, she settled down in Qiongyu villa. She was inseparable from Wu Meiniang all day and enjoyed herself. He didn't come to the governor's office to make trouble for Qin mubai.

"In return for the two ladies, I said that I was busy with military affairs today, so I settled down in the governor's office. Ask them to go to bed earlier and don't wait for me. " Qin mubai said.

The maid answered the promise. Instead of leaving, she came forward, presented a collar robe and a food box, and said, "in fact, the princess and the master know that you will not go back tonight, so they sent the maid to send the night clothes and the soup to keep warm. Please take good care of yourself."

"I know..."

Qin mubai couldn't help smiling after he took a few mouthfuls of warm and fragrant porridge. Tight mood slightly relaxed, the spirit is much better.

With the coming of a great war, the commander-in-chief must decide all military plans and strategies and tactics. Kaerqinling is a tough opponent, Qin mubai dare not take it lightly, not to mention his own side is still in a weak position.

The night was very deep, and there was silence in the four fields. Occasionally, he heard the screams of owls and dogs. Qin mubai was not sleepy at last. I fell asleep on the desk.

I don't know when his robe fell to the ground, but someone gently lifted him up and put it on again.

Qin mubai woke up with a start, and saw a man in his sleepy eyes, adding oil to the lamp and gently moving the wick.

The jade face is hazy, smiling like a flower.

"Princess highness?" Qin mubai was busy, "the night is deep. How did you get to Weichen's study? "

It was Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan.

"Why do generals have to do something?" Princess Wencheng put down the pincers and said with a smile, "isn't it as good as before?"Qin Mu Bai smiles and nods, "princess, please sit down."

Li Xueyan was not detained either. Da Dafang sat down in front of Qin mubai and said, "it's late at night. Why don't you rest early, general? The battle is coming, and the body is important. "

"It's OK. I'm used to it Qin mubai said, "but the princess needs to rest early. The water and soil in Lanzhou are not very good. If the princess doesn't pay attention to her health, she is easy to get sick."

"Don't worry, I'm not as vulnerable as you think." Li Xueyan said with a smile, "mubai Well, may I call you that? "

"Of course. It's actually my word. It's a very polite address. " Qin mubai said with a smile. "My real name is Qin Liang."

"Mubai, I've always wanted to ask What are you doing for? "

"What do you mean?"

"On the matter of fact, it means war with garqin mausoleum!"

"The princess should not think that I am for you?" Qin Mu Bai said with a smile, and then he regretted it. He thought to himself: why do I "harass" her like this when I have an old problem?

Li Xueyan's face turned red and said, "naturally, I won't be so amorous. I just don't understand. Mubai, since you are not only a member of the royal family, but also a member of the imperial family, you should take the will of your majesty and the imperial court as the transfer. However, since you came to Lanzhou, you have been acting in your own way. You regard the imperial court as nothing. You have been acting in your own way It's not like you used to be. "

"Did the princess think it was right or wrong for me to do so?"

"It's not a simple" right or wrong "to determine." Li Xueyan said, "in the eyes of many people in the imperial court, you are simply an unconcerned minister; in the eyes of the army and the people of Lanzhou, you are the Supreme God; in the eyes of the enemies of Tubo. You are the sting that must be pulled out. In my opinion, Li Xueyan... "

"How?"

"Now you are the real you."

"Ha ha!" Qin mubai laughs, and laughs. He said, "the princess and I met very little, can't talk about deep friendship, how to understand me?"

"It may take a lifetime to get to know someone, but sometimes it doesn't take much time and effort." Li Xueyan pursed a smile and said, "mubai, when I first met you, I heard your voice from the notes on your fingertips. You are like an eagle in a cage. You are always looking forward to the day when you are flying. For this reason, you do not hesitate to play the role of a bird in a new face, bow your eyebrows, follow your eyes, and restrain yourself in the cage. Your chest is full of powerful negative and deep feelings, but you always put cynicism and indifference on your face

Qin mubai put his hands on his belly and tilted his head. Li Xueyan's "cynical" smile appeared on her face. She looked at her and said nothing.

"What, am I wrong?" Li Xueyan's smart eyes blinked for a few moments and asked.

Qin Mu Bai laughed and said, "princess, what do you want to say to me?"

"He Qin failed, and the battle is coming. I, the so-called princess, have become a redundant and embarrassing person." Li Xueyan shook her head. Self mocking wry smile way, "early know so, originally I should believe you."

"Believe me what?"

"Believe what you said in my house that day." Li Xueyan said, "don't you remember? You said that the Tubo problem can only be completely solved by force. One day, you will step on the plateau, capture Zanpu alive, and integrate Tubo into the Chinese nation. "

"So you didn't believe it." Qin mubai laughs.

"Yes. That's arrogant after all. How can I believe it? " Li Xueyan shook her head and sighed, "I thought I was great. I would like to leave my hometown behind and marry on the plateau, in order to spread the king's way on the wild plateau, publicize the common people, calm down the war between the two countries and benefit the people. But now I'm really disappointed! War is still unstoppable! Reality is like a heartless man, who slaps me hard

"Princess, it's not your fault." "The dispute between the two countries and the historical process," Qin said. No one can control and solve it. You and I are just small pieces, and our destiny is beyond our control. "

"What are we living for?" Li Xueyan raised her head and looked at Qin mubai with wide eyes, waiting for his answer eagerly.

"For survival and ideal? I don't know. " Qin mubai laughed at himself and said, "it seems that I've been doing something that I can't choose or avoid, just like a puppet that I can't make myself. I live a miserable and boring life. This time, I can finally do what I want to do It's like a wild animal being kept in a cage for many years, then suddenly leaving and returning to the forest to be free. Even if I know that I'm going to be hunted by hunters or eaten by other wild animals, then I can face my destiny, instead of going back to the cage. "

"My father once said, when young avoid frivolity, a man's life, always want to do some of their own things, will be full of regret." Li Xueyan gazed at Qin mubai and said, "mubai, I really envy you! At the moment, you are so frank and calm, live wonderful and generous. I always think that only a man as honest and frank as my father is the most amiable and lovely If time could go back. I'd like to meet you when I'm the youngest and the most ignorant, a man as big and straightforward as my father. ""Why?" Qin mubai asked with a smile.

"In that way, I can stick to your side and act like a child, until I grow up." Li Xueyan finished this sentence, stood up and said in a soft voice with a smile, "I really envy Huang Jie Really She once said a word to me that deeply touched me. "

"Which one?" Qin mubai scratched his head a little awkwardly. Asked politely. He knew in his heart that In front of this Li Xueyan, obviously already opened the sentiment to him. Had it not been for their identities and the delicate situation, she would have "launched an attack" openly What a sin!

"Sister Huang told me that as early as you two met, you once said a half true and half false funny word to her, but it deeply moved her heart." Li Xueyan said, "at that time, you were in Jiangzhou. Sister Huang suddenly ran to find you You once said to her, "if you go wild, I will accompany you with the wine!"

“……” Qin Mu Bai was stunned, "sorry, I may have forgotten."

"Since then, sister Huang has always been at ease and bold, and you, like the God of heaven, have been quietly waiting by her side, regardless of success or failure, happily accompany her with wine." Li Xueyan said with a smile, "you two are a perfect match. You two live so wonderfully and freely!"

"Yes..." Qin Mu Bai smiles and doesn't know what to say. When a woman is sensitive to you, it's best to be careful. Because from then on, she either trusted you or even fell in love with you, or hated you or even hated you.

"If you are wild, I will accompany you with the wine There is no woman who is not deeply attached to such a man. " Li Xueyan pursed her mouth, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Unfortunately, Xueyan's life is thin. Even if there is wine, no one will drink it... "
