Just like the west market of Chang'an, there are always charming Meiji and drunken people on the street who have a hangover. In Lanzhou Military Town, there are always the sound of horseshoe bells and boiling blood who are unwilling to be silent.

Long smoke setting sun, magnificent mountains and rivers!

Tens of thousands of troops, assembled. The iron armor is like a city, and the swords and guns are like a forest.

Qin mubai, dressed in his military uniform and riding on a fiery horse, walked past the army. After the parade, he boarded the commanding platform.

On the stage, Li daozong, the king of Jiangxia, had already prepared all classes for sacrifice. As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Qin mubai, the commander-in-chief, came to worship the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and the army would leave for dafichuan.

The 60000 troops accompanying the army were cleaned up, and their morale was like a rainbow.

After the sacrificial ceremony, Li daozong handed over the Shuai flag of axes to Qin mubai and said, "governor of Dadu, everything is ready. A stick of incense is the auspicious time of the zodiac, and the army can start!"

"Thank you, Lord." Qin mubai gave Xiang Xiang's absolutely authoritative axe Cheng to the rank of the Central Military Department, and the commander-in-chief flag to Zhang Tong, the commander-in-chief of the flag. Without further discussion, he had to pull out his sword and command the whole army to prepare weapons and immediately set off.

"Please wait a moment, young commander..." Suddenly a light chant. Interrupted Qin mubai, it is Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan.

"What does the princess have to say?" Qin mubai said.

"Young commander, forgive me." Li Xueyan leaned forward and said, "the army is about to leave, but I have an invitation."

Qin mubai took a look at Li daozong. Seeing that he had no expression and no hint, he had to say, "princess, please tell me."

"In the old days when I was in Chang'an, I heard that the young commander could play a good song. It's called "ambush on all sides." Li Xueyan said, "I'm afraid no one in the world can play this song except the young commander. Even the musicians in the palace have never learned it. May I ask you, young commander? "

"Yes." Qin mubai said, "at that time, your majesty sent the musicians to study art, but they only learned one song, the overlord's removing his armor, and the moonlight on the spring river. I seldom play the song "ambush on all sides" myself

"I've heard it. It's the most powerful military music, isn't it? " Li Xueyan asked herself, "so, why don't the young commander play a song to strengthen the army when the army is about to start?"

Qin Mu Bai twisted his brows and looked embarrassed. At this time, who has the mind to engage in this kind of performance art?

What's more, the generals all around echoed: "yes, young commander, it's better to play a song for us to strengthen our military power."

"Yes, young commander..."

Li Xueyan stepped forward and said softly, "sorry, young commander. I know that you have vowed that you will never play music again unless it is a sacrifice to the demon. I also admit that I am selfish. I really want to hear you play the lute again, even once... "

"Why?" Qin mubai said.

"No, why..." Li Xueyan gave a slightly sad smile and said, "I know it's very abrupt, and it's a bit out of date, but Just think of it as I beg you, OK? "

The word "Qiu" made Qin Mu Bai feel a little uncomfortable.

"It's not difficult. I'll play it well..." Qin Mu nodded and said to the left and right, "come on, take the ashes of my father Shuai and Yaoer Take it as a memorial ceremony! "

When everything was ready, Qin mubai held up the ancient wooden pipa, which he had not touched for a long time, and closed his eyes.

All of them held their breath, looked at him and listened.

Suddenly a series of high pitched and unrestrained sounds sounded, and all the people felt that their hearts and minds were just like a torrent, and their minds were clear!

"Yan'er, why do you want him to play Pipa at this time?" Li daozong approached his daughter and asked in a low voice.

"The yellow sand is long, and thousands of troops and horses; the sound of Pipa startles the strings, and the silence moves for nine days!" Li Xueyan has already been absorbed in it, and the answer is not what he asked.

Li daozong was stunned: "what did you say?"

"Father I'm very lucky. I'm his confidant. " Li Xueyan slightly frowned and said in a soft voice, "I just want to know what he is thinking at the moment."

"Do you recognize that?"

"Well..." Li Xueyan turned her head and looked at her father gravely and said, "father, under Qin mubai's calm appearance, there is a wild heart that has been fettered for a long time. In her blood vessels, there are unrestrained and fanatical spirits that can't be bound by gods! Listening to his music is like seeing a million masters buried in his chest, and the arrogance of daring to ask for justice from heaven and earth Now Qin mubai is not what he used to be! He released himself completely. He's going to do whatever he wants

Li daozong didn't show any surprise. He just nodded his head and said, "after this battle, Qin mubai will either soar to the sky to build the world, or he will never die. Whether it's a coward or a warrior will soon be known. "

"The world likes to judge heroes by success or failure. But in my opinion, no matter whether the battle is won or not, Qin mubai has lived up to his reputation as a man. " Li Xueyan gazed at Qin mubai, who was dedicated to playing music, and said leisurely, "how many people in my life can be as passionate and unrepentant as he is?"

"So what?" Li daozong glanced at Li Xueyan and coldly dropped the four words.

Li Xueyan's face suddenly darkened a little and said softly, "not so much It's just like loving flowers, loving them and appreciating them. You don't have to take them off and put them on your head. ""Hum..." However, Li daozong snorted a little sullen and said, "then you should really learn from Qin mubai. In his words, it's "when flowers bloom, they must be folded, but don't wait for flowers to be folded."! ——He dares to rob women from the emperor! What are you afraid of? "

“……” Li Xueyan was speechless, but her eyebrows were tightly locked.

"Bang -"

Guiyi Dao comes out of its sheath, cold and bright, blue sky and dragon singing!

"Go out to the war -"

tens of thousands of troops roared and rushed to the West!

Qin Mu Bai returned to the scabbard into the sheath, and walked back to the Pipa and handed it to Li Xueyan. He said, "Your Highness, the minister will leave."

"Take care of yourself, and you'll win..." Li Xueyan didn't say much, so she took the pipa's light voice.

Qin mubai couldn't see that she looked abnormal and wanted to talk about it. But only to Li daozong: "Lord, after I leave Lanzhou, everything will trouble you. When the court order is issued, there will be another district office. Before that, I would also like to ask the Lord not to leave his hard work and sit in the rear. "

"Don't worry." Li daozong only said these two words.

Qin Mu Bai turned his eyes and saw a few cars and horses stopping on the hillside in the distance. Although he could not see each other from afar, he clearly felt it. There are a few wisps of eyes fell on him for a moment.

Qin mubai raised his hand and waved it in that direction, but he didn't know how many parting tears he caused.

Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang's family, Chen Yan, Su Lianqing and Tantai sisters all watched Qin mubai turn over and mount. He led his eye-catching guards, the snow sculpture army, to gallop out of sight.

"Thief academy, smelly man Why can't we take us to dafichuan? Are we so cumbersome? " Gaoyang Princess eyes red, low voice scold.

"Don't complain. Yesterday, if sister Yan and I hadn't worked together to plead for you, you would be on your way to Chang'an now. " Wu Meiniang sighed and said.

"He is cruel!" After all, Princess Gaoyang didn't hold back. Her tears rolled down like a broken bead, and she sobbed. "If it wasn't for my lack of mobility, he would have driven me back to Chang'an!"

"Princess, don't blame mubai." Chen Yan said, "the reason why I fell in love with him is that he is very similar to me in many places. I'll hide to have a baby alone, and he'll go to the battlefield alone to live and die. It's not that you don't trust and care for each other, on the contrary. He just doesn't want us to get involved with it. "

"Yes, you've made all the sense, but I'm not!" Gaoyang Princess hate hate way, "I like to share weal and woe with him, live and die together, this is wrong?"

"That's right." Chen Yan said faintly, "you have the right. In the past, you have done it more than once. But now you don't have that qualification. Because you have a baby in your belly

“……” Gaoyang Princess speechless to refute, had to let tears flow down.

Wu Meiniang also subconsciously touched her stomach and whispered: "yes Who doesn't want to go with him? However, we are all going to be mothers. We can't take our own temperament... "

Li Xueyan has been looking at the direction of Wu Meiniang and others, her eyes are flexible and thoughtful.

"What do you think?" Li daozong asked, "jealous of them. Or do you want to join them? "

Li Xueyan blushed and then laughed bitterly: "father, my daughter is not as common as you think. She only strives for love and jealousy. I admit that I am in love with him. In the past, my daughter will pursue and love him as they do. But at the moment, he was able to control the situation, and his daughter knew her priorities. This time, such a huge war broke out between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. Although it's not all because of me, it has something to do with me. I was thinking, "what can I do at this moment?"

"You can't do anything." Li daozong said coldly and firmly, "at the beginning, you shouldn't jump out foolishly and bravely to go to the plateau! Otherwise, there would be no such disturbance and a laughing stock! "

“……” Li Xueyan fixed her eyes, lowered her eyebrows and clenched her lips. Slowly shook his head, said, "today, I still do not regret my original decision. Even in the future, I will try my best to resolve the disaster and reduce the war. Even if I know, my strength is so humble. People, no matter who they are, Han people or Tubo people, it's better to die one less than one... "

"I'm too lazy to talk about you! You'd better go back to Chang'an early to serve your mother! " Li daozong snorted and walked away.

Li Xueyan shivered a little, staring at her father who strode away. Her eyes were full of grievances, but also stubborn.

"I won't give up...!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers were equipped with good horses, and then they were helped. The army led by Qin mubai advanced very fast. In less than three days, he arrived at Shancheng, which is only three hundred miles away from dafichuan.

Here, Qin mubai received a military report from Su dingfang and Xue wanche, the two guards of Yuyang pass, saying that "the two passes are as stable as a rock and unbreakable. Please rest assured, young commander.".But Qin mubai knew that these short words were the promises made by countless guards with blood and life.

Two younger brothers of garqin mausoleum. Obviously, he was determined by his brother's death to win the Yuyang pass. So from the first day of the battle, more than 50000 Tubo troops put on a dead man's trap and tried their best to solve the problem at any cost. They had to step on the meat ladder made of corpses to climb up the city tower.

The garrison of the Tang army at Yuyang pass was only 20000 troops, and the food and grass were also very limited. Because of the long distance and the difficulty of transshipment, the subsequent supply is quite difficult. But in Su dingfang's letter. I never mention urging for food and grass or helping soldiers. The most commonly used word is "rest assured".

With these two words of Su dingfang, Qin mubai felt at ease on the one hand, and deeply ashamed and in crisis on the other.

"We must catch the thief and the king, and defeat the main force of garqin Mausoleum as soon as possible!" In Qin mubai's heart, there was only one thought left.

Three days later. Qin mubai led his troops to dafichuan, and general Xue Wanjun LED general Zuo to meet them.

Depending on the situation, Xue Wanjun had fought several wars with the Tubo people before Qin mubai arrived. There are already wounded soldiers in the camp, as evidenced by the atmosphere of the enemy before the war.

When asked, it was.

There are still five days to go before the mid autumn festival full moon, but in recent days, three pioneers have come to the Tang army camp in turn to instigate the war. Xue Wanjun also wanted to test the fighting power of the army under the command of garqin mausoleum, so he sent several rounds of troops to fight with him in several field battles, each with its own victory or defeat.

The scale of the fighting is not large, and the number of people has never exceeded 3000. It can be seen that both sides are cautious, just trying to stop.

Xue Wanjun said that this time, the Tubo people are serious. The garqin mausoleum has gathered 250000 troops one after another. Maybe the Zanpu, the abandoned sect and Zan of Tubo have all been stationed in the army. Moreover, the Tianshan iron cavalry under the command of karchin mausoleum is indeed a big hard bone, and its combat effectiveness can not be underestimated. In these small battles, most of Xue Wanjun's troops were veterans who had been through the war for the rest of their lives. He was also very careful in the arrangement of troops. However, his army still had more losses and less victories, and could not gain any advantage. The casualties are also far greater than those of the other side.

As a result, dafeichuan seems a little nervous and morale is slightly low.

Qin mubai was not surprised by this, and he didn't mean to blame Xue Wanjun. It is necessary to find out the details of the other party before the war.

Originally, the fighting power of Tubo's cavalry was really strong. If it's time for equality against the field. The Tang army really didn't get much advantage.

However, Qin mubai did not mean "equal confrontation" with garqin mausoleum at all. In his mind, if a man wants to clean up a wild animal, does he have to fight with his bare hands to compete with him?

"The Tibetan cavalry is strong and the field battle is fierce, especially in dafichuan and qingluoyuan, which are mostly plain grasslands. It is more conducive for them to give full play to their advantages, so we must avoid their sharp points and attack their weak points Qin mubai said to the generals, "from now on, hang up the exemption card first. You don't have to be instigated to go out to fight. I'll make up my mind after careful planning! "

"No!"

With the arrival of Qin mubai, even if dafichuan has the backbone, the soldiers of the two armies will join forces to build a camp and build a stronghold. Only when he gives the order, the war will begin
