Chapter 480

In the next ten days, Qin mubai led his troops to recuperate and train in Shanzhou. On the one hand, he sent scouts around to inquire about the enemy's situation and the movement of the plateau, and on the other hand, he collected food and grass to raise military supplies.

It is reported that the three-way reinforcements dispatched by the imperial court, with a total of 150000 troops, have crossed Weitao River and entered Lanzhou. They are expected to arrive in Shanzhou within 10 days. However, there has been no valuable information from the plateau. Hou Junji's men and horses are like a broken kite. There is no detailed information about the movement of the garqin mausoleum. In order to prepare for the disaster, Qin mubai sent Xue Rengui, the most effective general under his command, and led 20000 elite cavalry of Qin Xunyi's family to dafichuan to help Li daozong strengthen his defense.

Spring in Helong is always late, but the ice and snow are melting, and the trees and grasses begin to sprout new green buds. At this time, the new recruits had more to do - to reclaim the army.

As early as the Qin family's father and son had just come to Lanzhou, the army had begun to open up fields for reclamation. Originally, according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers had to go home to farm at this time. After planting, they would bring their own rations to join the army. After the autumn harvest, the people handed in the grain tax, which was then handed over by the Yamen at all levels to the Treasury Taicang, and then distributed by the imperial court to all the places where the grain was needed.

However, Qin mubai thought that Lanzhou was a front-line war zone and could adjust measures to local conditions, so he left his soldiers in the army to reclaim the army. Half of the grain is supplied to the army, and the other half can be taken home by the soldiers to make rations. Of course, it can also be sold to the army on the spot. In this way, the army's food supply is guaranteed. It also ensures that there is sufficient labor force in Helong agriculture.

This is the unique land "system" of Dadu Dufu in Lanzhou, which can be regarded as the first creation of Qin mubai.

For this matter, some people in the court impeached Qin mubai, saying that he "embezzled food and taxes to enrich his own pocket, ruined the basic policy of building the country, and intended to cede the land to the king" For impeachment memorials of this kind, the Emperor Li Shimin's desk did not know how much.

Qin mubai also knew that in the past few years when he came to Lanzhou, he had not done little to "violate the law and discipline and corrupt the imperial platform", just for military supplies. In addition, Wu Meiniang monopolized the sale of grain and cloth in Helong.

There are also many kind-hearted people who remind Qin mubai to be "cautious". Qin mubai laughed and said, "if I'm afraid of causing trouble, I'll stay in Chang'an and leave Qingfu. At least now, Lanzhou is a place where people have to do things that they usually dare not do. Otherwise, it will be the same for everyone. How can I stay here? "

"No longer young. Still frivolous "- this is Qin mubai's evaluation from people around him.

This evaluation is very strange. Although Qin mubai is a father, he is still less than 30 years old. He is a young man of the younger generation in both the military and political circles. If we don't count his age and only his achievements, in today's era, young Qin mubai is definitely an old army ruffian. As for "frivolous" This originally derogatory word is used in Qin mubai's body, but it seems to be commendatory, because when Li daozong scolds him like this, his praise is always beyond expression.

Qin mubai had a good time during the day when he trained soldiers and horses to handle official business, and at night he accompanied his wife and daughter to enjoy family happiness. Only one thing has been choking him, that is Hou Junji.

"What's the matter with this wild wolf who broke free from the shackles?"

Not only for personal emotional reasons, from the strategic and tactical considerations, Hou Junji is also crucial. The dilemma is that Qin mubai knows nothing about hou Junji. It's like a hand grenade. When it's thrown out, there's no movement. You and the enemy have to worry about it.

After dinner that evening, Qin mubai took a walk in the garden with a small building in his arms. Dantai Shuangshuang recovered well after injury. Now she has to take her sister to practice martial arts with her every day. At this time, the two sisters compete with each other in a new peach forest. Chen Yan leans on the tree with her elbow to observe and give advice from time to time.

Qin mubai is playing with xiaolou'er and watching them compare swords. They are really fierce swords. They are all life-locking skills, and they don't have any airs. Several times, the two sisters almost hurt each other, even Qin mubai couldn't help but be frightened several times. But Chen Yan is still the wind clear cloud light, watching its change, like watching a play listening to music.

After one practice, the sisters are sweating. Put away the sword and bow to Chen Yan, "sister Yan, how are we doing?"

Chen Yan gently shook her head, "see, not use."

Qin mubai and the sisters were shocked.

"Sing..."

Suddenly, there was a deep and cold clear sound. The sword in Shuangshuang's hands didn't know when it was in Chen Yan's hands. It's like a sword of lightning, flint and no fancy. There's a honey peak at the tip of the sword. A little pause, the bee quietly split into two pieces, falling down.

Three people stayed together.

Chen Yan picked a sword flower and threw it into Shuangshuang's scabbard. She said, "I don't know how you two became famous in the world. It's mostly because you didn't meet people like me, otherwise you would have been ghosts. What I want to tell you is that the battlefield is 10000 times more dangerous than the Jianghu. When you can train me like this, you can go to the battlefield with the young commander to kill the enemy. ""Yes..." The two sisters each face red, but also very convinced of the bow.

After hearing this, Qin mubai came forward with a smile and said, "ah, master Chen is teaching swordsmanship. Why don't you give me some advice?"

"Don't be so mean." With a smile, Chen Yan Wan'er's coldness and seriousness were swept away. Instead, she was as gentle as water. She hugged lou'er to kiss her face. Wen said, "lou'er is good. Will your mother take you to paint?"

"Yes Xiao lou'er clapped his hands happily and said happily, "I want to learn painting. My father rides a horse! My father is the most handsome

Qin Mu Bai laughs, "who told you to say this?"

"My godmother!"

"Ganniang?" Qin mubai was stunned and then said with a smile, "when did you recognize ganniang outside? Are you still young at home?"

"That's them." With a smile, Chen Yan motioned to the Taiwan sisters and said, "I didn't tell you about this. I decided first. You don't blame me, do you? "

Qin mubai couldn't help laughing, "how dare I? You has the final say in these matters at home.

"Poor mouth again." Chen Yan chuckles and walks away with her little building in her arms.

Tantai sisters have been standing together with their swords to listen to the conversation between Qin mubai and Chen Yan. Standing straight, the same red face, heart thumping straight jump.

Qin mubai took a look at them and said, "why do I look so fierce? You're so nervous and scared. "

"No Yes The sisters laughed awkwardly.

"Sit down!" Qin mubai first came to the stone bench and said, "I think you two have something to say to me, right?"

The two sisters hesitated for a moment, then sat down on Qin mubai's side, lowered their eyebrows and nodded.

"Say it Qin mubai said with a relaxed smile, "don't be nervous. What can you be nervous about? You should learn from Su Lianqing and Chen Yan. People in the Jianghu should be more open-minded and say what they have. "

"Young commander, you can take us into the Guanxi army as generals." The sisters summoned up their courage and spoke in unison.

"Oh, that's it?" Qin Mu Bai smiles, "I understand. It is said that the imperial court has reorganized Baiqi, which is divided into the left and right Yulin guards and Baiqi prison Yamen. The original Baiqi officers and soldiers have been re divided into duties and ranks. You two are afraid that there will be no one to take care of Chang'an now, and that there will be no place for you after that, right? "

"Yes, but not necessarily." Dantai Dandan said, "since the young commander enlightened us, our two sisters have changed their minds, separated from their previous life in the world, and turned into officials of the imperial court. Originally, our sisters were always satisfied, but after staying in the palace for some time, we all felt That place may not be much more comfortable and clean than the river. The same danger, the same intrigue, cold gun and hidden arrow. Moreover, our two sisters are used to being wild. Many rules in the palace often make us feel depressed and suffocated. But after we left Chang'an and came to Lanzhou with the princess. It's like a bird leaving the cage and really doesn't want to go back to the palace. So We just want to I just want to... "

Qin mubai listened to her hesitation, couldn't help laughing, said: "you don't want to go back to the palace as a messenger, do you?"

"Yes! Please help, young commander The two sisters spoke in unison.

"Well, I'll do something about it." Qin mubai got up and went to the house. Heart has been laughing, thought: this pair of sisters flower idea is quite a lot. First I became the godmother of Lou Er, now I want you to be my concubine? Ha ha, I'm sorry to say that. I know from Chen Yancai's performance that she deliberately walked away with xiaolouer in her arms and let them talk to me alone This matter is mostly arranged by Chen Yan. It seems that she is not a saint who doesn't eat fireworks. She is also depressed to see me having an affair with other women. It's just no attack. This is not, she took the initiative to enrich my "family dinner", which means that I don't want to "steal food" outside! ——That's right. How can there be a woman who is not jealous? Unless, she really doesn't care!

The more Qin mubai thinks about it, the funnier it is. On the one hand, she feels that she has been in trouble for two years. On the other hand, the longer she gets along with Chen Yan, the more she can feel the charm of her brilliant and mature woman. It's not like a little girl can match it.

After returning to the inner courtyard, Qin mubai is waiting to talk to Chen Yan about something. An unexpected guest, Princess Huihe, Ashina Xuelian, comes to the house.

"It's a good time to come!" Qin mubai secretly wry smile, or smile to welcome her into tea.

"Isn't sister Yan in?" As soon as Xuelian sat down, she looked around and asked.

"Are you looking for her or me?" Qin mubai asked with a smile.

"For you." The blood lotus facial expression is a positive, serious way, "I am come to ask to leave."

"Please leave?" Qin mubai frowned slightly. "What do you say?"

"I'm going back to the grassland." The blood lotus is facing Qin Mu Bai's eyes squarely, "come to ask to leave specially."

Qin mubai blinked his eyes and looked at Xuelian carefully. This time, the little girl was not joking or acting on purpose."How do you say to leave? Don't you agree that you will go back to Beijing with me to meet the saint? " Qin mubai said.

"No Blood lotus light sipped a tea, light way. "After all, I am a member of the asna family. I want to go back to the grassland to reorganize my tribe and inherit my father's official title. And 90% of my subordinates are from Huihe. After so many days away from the grassland, we all miss home. And Now the Tang Dynasty will increase your troops by 150000. We have only tens of thousands of people here. We don't stay here much more or less, do we? "

Qin mubai laughed.

In the words of Xuelian. But it's a mystery. In particular, the last two sentences directly tell the real reason why she wants to go back to the grassland - for fear of being swallowed up and losing military power!

In the final analysis, it was not Xuelian who was afraid of losing his troops and power, but the Huihe generals who came with him were afraid of this.

Before that, Qin mubai had to rely heavily on this group of Huihe people. At that time, forty thousand Huihe cavalry were very important to Qin mubai. It's important to send charcoal in the snow. Now, the imperial court has increased the number of troops in Kansai by 150000, and the proportion of troops and horses in Huihe has fallen, which naturally is not so important. Moreover, before Qin mubai used all kinds of means to annex the captured soldiers of Gaochang and Tubo. These things are in the eyes of Huihe people. Although they want to tie up with Qin mubai, they don't want to lose the capital of 40000 iron cavalry.

Now, human relations have been done, it's time to get out. therefore. The generals of Huihe, also known as the confidants of tumindu, the leader of Huihe, naturally made Xuelian come forward and bid farewell to Qin mubai.

Qin mubai had already thought of what happened today before he left Yumen pass. Therefore, in the face of Xuelian's resignation, he was not surprised at all, but still made a rather surprised expression, said: "I thought, you I won't go

A pun, blood lotus face suddenly a little red. She avoided Qin Mu's white eyes and said, "what is that? Why should I not go? "

"Don't you pretend to be confused with understanding?" Qin mubai had no skin and no face. He coughed again and said, "I wrote to the court and wrote to my family."

"It's none of my business..." Xuelian's tone is still light, but there is a trace of palpitation and expectation in her eyes.

"Of course it's none of your business!" Qin mubai makes a thriller. Said, "you won't I don't think so, do I? "

"Don't beat around the Bush, just say it!" Blood lotus silver teeth a bite, a little anxious.

"Well I just want to be more tactful and keep a little space and charm of my spare time. " Qin mubai said with a smile. At this time, even he himself felt that he was really shameless - it was for the sake of the 40000 cavalry that he was sacrificing his appearance!

"For me." Chen Yan appears.

"Sister Yan!" Blood lotus just like to see relatives, exhibition Yan a smile happy way. "Here you are

Chen Yan nods and smiles. She sits down beside Xuelian and says with a smile, "sister, don't go. It's good to stay in the Central Plains. It's true that grassland is your hometown, but as far as I know, there are few people in your Ashina tribe. When you go back to grassland, you are also living under the fence. How can you feel at home? contrary. There were many people of the asna people who had been granted residence in Chang'an before. It's a metaphor for general ashnasmo. Now he's called lismo, right? Even I know several! Darling, after the war, come back to Chang'an with us. Don't say that you are the legitimate Princess of the asna nationality. Just for your credit, the imperial court has no reason to treat you badly. Besides, sister, I can still accompany you. You can also bring your sister and the relatives you miss from the grassland. At that time, when you live in Chang'an for three or five months, you will definitely not want to leave. How wonderful

"That's right, but..." These words are obviously said into the heart of blood lotus. What she cares about is not the grassland and the army, but her family and sister. But now, the family is gone, if you can take my sister to live with Zhongyuan, she will be happy. Although is said to move, but the blood lotus is still very hesitant.

"But you can't beat your generals, can you?" Qin mubai broke the mystery with one word.

Xuelian was first surprised, then sighed a little. She nodded helplessly and said, "my name is Commander-in-Chief. In fact, there are six generals in charge of six battalions. These people are the confidants of tumidu, who actually take charge of the military power. They are clamoring to leave. What can I do? "

Qin Mu Bai laughed, waved his hand and said, "it's really hard to pick up the light, or to say anything! If you tell me that, I'll have a way! Don't worry, not to mention the six confidants, but tumidu himself is here. I can cure him, too! ——My emperor of the Tang Dynasty once said that the Han Hu family, now that the 40000 Uighur compatriots have come, will you settle down in Lanzhou? Don't leave! Whether it is to get married and have children, or to cattle and sheep land, can be arranged! The relatives on the other side of the grassland can also be taken over one after another! ——Grassland nomads often say that the place with relatives and grassland is hometown? Don't worry, don't worry. There will be all these. "

"I can't handle it." The blood lotus curled her lips, "you say easily, you go to persuade them!""Good." Qin Mu Bai's treacherous smile, crisp and clear agreed to come down.

Xuelian looked at his smiling face, half happy and half surprised, and thought: even the dead enemy of Tubo, he can surrender, not to mention a few Huihe generals? It seems that he has a premeditated plan, and sooner or later he will be able to collect these 40000 people Anyway, it's not the tribe and soldiers of my asna family. It doesn't hurt me to fall into anyone's hands, let alone feel sad. Qin is a fearless master. He is ambitious and tough. He dares to do anything. Now I just hope that it will not cause a dispute between Huihe and Datang!
