"The wind is flying, the banners are flying,

the horns are blowing, the knives and guns are sharpening,

the sky is vast and the wild is boundless,

the sky is blue, the sky is full of clouds, the hunting ground is full of wind, the tiger is roaring, and the eagle is flying -"

after the victory, Hou Junji and his soldiers sang the military song "big horn song" which belongs to the Tang Dynasty, marching like a city wall, and the goal is directed at some cities.

They are like pawns crossing the river on the chess board. They have no way out and are determined to move forward.

Behind them are mountains of corpses and fireworks.

"Will the world regard us as demons, ghosts or beasts? It doesn't matter! "

"We're just doing the only thing we can do right now!"

"Just before we die, let the blood in our chest run more freely and thoroughly!"

……

Hou Junji pointed the sword to the sky and roared: "brothers! Are you happy? "

"Have a good time!"

"Go on, then! ——Let the once invincible barbarians of the plateau shudder under our iron hooves

"Just like Dong Zan Yusong, he's coming to beg us to kill him!"

All the soldiers roared in unison: "general Hou is powerful!"

"Mighty brothers!" Hou Junji burst out laughing, "continue to move forward, the goal - some city of logic!"

"Tubo barbarians, Qinling children, get out of your tortoise shell and fight to the death with your grandfather Hou! Grandfather wants to take off your pants to see if you are all the same as Dong Zan Yusong. No eggs

"Ha ha ha --"

the wild laughter shakes the thin air on the plateau. The flowing clouds seem to tremble and rush.

Dafeichuan, the commander of the main camp of the Kansai army.

Qin mubai, Li Ke and Quan Wanji set up tables and tables separately, and there were more than ten military officials, big and small, who were busy criticizing military official documents. After Hou Junji left. Qin mubai gave power to Wan Ji to take the post of marching commander temporarily. He was in charge of logistics and internal affairs in the army, and was in charge of military orders and military law enforcement.

Three hundred thousand troops have just been stationed in dafichuan, and there are so many military affairs. Therefore, Qin mubai and others have been very busy these days. They are so busy that they are not in the mood to talk about dirty jokes.

After the white-collar army of Qin Mu came, Li daozong, who had led the army to guard here, breathed a sigh. The two armies exchanged their defenses. Li daozong, the deputy governor of Lanzhou, still went back to Shanzhou to take charge of the logistics.

Before leaving, the generals bid farewell to Li daozong. After the banquet, Li daozong drank a little wine, took Qin mubai and said in private: "mubai, I shouldn't have talked to you about Yan'er at this time, but..."

"If you have something to say, just say it." Qin mubai said with a smile, "I'm just like your half son. What else should I worry about?"

"After Xueyan returned to Beijing, she became a monk." Li daozong finished these words and looked at Qin mubai's face with straight eyes.

Qin mubai was stunned for a moment, "become a monk?..."

"It's not a layman disciple with hair, or a fake Taoist who pretends to be a monk, but really goes to the ancient temple in the mountains to practice Buddhism." Li daozong sighed and said, "now, no one knows where she has gone."

“……” Qin mubai was speechless for a moment, and sighed, "sorry, Lord, it's all my fault."

Li daozong shook his head and waved his hand. His expression was a little bitter. "I don't blame you. This is due to her temperament. We can only blame our parents for being too proud and doting on her. But then again, she's like this now. It's better than marrying kaoyuan. "

"That is..." Qin mubai nodded silently.

"Well, not much." Li daozong laughed bitterly at himself and said, "you're a good soldier. Don't think about anything else. Before that, I told you anything about wild geese. Don't worry about it. Just take it as a joke. From then on, you will never have Li Xueyan in the world. "

Qin mubai didn't know what to say, so he nodded gently, "don't worry, I will try my best to fight the battle in front of me. I won't think about anything else now. The only thing that worries me is the rear area. Now that the Lord is in charge, I can rest in peace. Besides, my wife and children have to take care of them. "

"Don't worry." Li daozong left these two words behind and led more than 40000 Lanzhou recruits and a large number of civilian soldiers to Shanzhou.

After the army settled down, Qin mubai called together the generals and began to discuss and arrange the future strategic tactics.

In fact, the general strategy has been very clear, that is, to fight with Yuchi Jingde, who came from Sichuan and Sichuan, to attack Tubo, attack Huanglong, and win luoxie city. But it's down to tactics. It's not that easy.

The biggest problem in front of us is not military combat power, military strategy or logistics, but altitude sickness.

As soon as I arrived in dafichuan, many people, including Li Ke, had obvious altitude sickness - headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, tinnitus, chest tightness, and so on. More serious, vomiting, abdominal discharge, facial edema, and even syncope in the ground, people do not wake up.

Most of the people who suffered from high altitude reaction were the reinforcements who had just arrived from Guannei and the Huihe soldiers who came from the grassland. Most of the old Guanxi army, which had been active in this area, were able to adapt.All this was naturally expected by Qin mubai, who had already made relevant arrangements. One of the most important things is a kind of special Decoction - "Honghua Decoction", which is popular on the plateau. It is said that it was invented by the Tibetan witch doctors to relieve altitude sickness. It is made of Rhodiola, safflower, Astragalus and other medicinal materials. It is widely used in the Guanxi military throughout the year. In addition, there are Tubo butter tea and plateau Shenjing salt as food therapy AIDS.

According to each person's constitution, the ability to adapt to altitude reaction and the length of time to adapt are also different. Therefore, we can only let the soldiers gradually adapt. It's a metaphor: here in dafichuan, you first adapt to the situation for ten and a half days, then push 30 or 50 miles to the northwest, and at a slightly higher altitude, you can gather troops to recuperate and adapt for a period of time.

Therefore, the overall tactics can only be carried out step by step, and it is impossible to lead the army to the plateau immediately. In that case, the Tibetans will lead the army to fight back. The Kansai army has lost most of its fighting capacity.

"How did Hou Junji's troops fight on the plateau?" This question has been raised.

Qin mubai replied: "most of the troops led by Hou Junji were veterans of the Kansai army stationed in dafichuan all the year round. Their ability to adapt to the plateau is already strong, which is one of them. Second, Hou Junji chose to detour horizontally to the Kunlun Mountains instead of going deep and deep at once, so he actually followed the principle of advancing layer by layer. Gradually adapt to the rising plateau. Third They've given up. "

After hearing this, everyone was silent. This kind of play, not everyone can play, obviously not suitable for the current Kansai army.

It was agreed at the military meeting that all the officers and men would be divided into three groups through observation. The first batch. The second group was barely able to adapt to the plateau, and the third group was too strong to adapt at all for a time. The latter two groups of people and horses can only be used as backup forces, so that they can dispatch at their discretion in the rear and give them more time to adapt.

Li Ke has just arrived from Youzhou thousands of miles away. Originally acclimatized, and now coupled with altitude reaction, resulting in a serious illness, finally fell ill and could not get out of bed.

Qin mubai went to his sickbed to visit him. He still said with a smile, "Your Highness is such a delicate person like Liu Fufeng! I had asked you to supervise the logistics in Shanzhou. Why did you come here to get sick? "

"Are you still making fun of me at this time?" Li Ke, with a scorched face, is about to be enraged.

"Well, don't be angry. Would you like some water? "

"No!"

"How about some fresh fruit? It's quite rare in dafichuan! "

"No!"

"I just found two beauties, just outside the tent..."

Li Ke's eyes suddenly shine, "help me up, change clothes!"

Qin mubai slapped seriously, "Dan Tai, you come in and change clothes for your highness!"

Li Ke is like an angry ball and becomes angry. "Get out of here!"

Qin mubai laughed, "Your Highness, it's important to calm down. I'm not afraid that you will stay in bed and be bored. I'll have fun with you. "

"You are not amusing. You are obviously amusing me!" Li Ke can't laugh or cry. But the spirit is better.

"Actually, I have something to tell you." Qin mubai said.

"He said

"Hou Junji killed Chang sunhuan before he went out." Qin mubai whispered. "You don't know the news, do you? In the Kansai army, it has been strictly sealed off for a long time. "

"What?" Li Ke's face suddenly changed, "does my father know?"

"I know. At that time, I was at Yumen pass. The king of Jiangxia didn't dare not report such a big event! But I reckon that his majesty suppressed the news. I haven't told Chang sun Wuji. Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen. " Qin mubai said in a low voice, "but the paper can't stop the fire. Chang sun Wuji will know sooner or later. This also means that we have completely broken with Chang sun Wuji and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation. Between the two sides. It's going to be life and death

Li Ke frowned and nodded slowly, "I understand. Even without the fact that Chang sun Huan was killed, he couldn't tolerate me. Because he always felt that I was a different breed, an ambitious potential enemy who could threaten his safety. "

"After all, it's not because you are the son of the emperor?" Qin mubai asked meaningfully.

"But I didn't think about those things!" Li Ke suddenly corrects himself.

"What things?" Qin mubai smiles.

"Know it, ask it!" Li Ke is a little angry.

Qin mubai touched his nose, gently laughed, and said, "if you want to, only you know it. The reality is that your majesty may have a little interest and want you to have a try."

Qin mubai's understatement changed Li Ke's face greatly!

"Mubai, even you think so?" Li Ke said in a low voice. "Think I have a different mind?"

"Wrong. It's not what I think you think; it's a lot of people think you have the ability. " Qin Mu Bai turned his lips and said, "including your majesty."Li Ke fell into silence. After a long time, he nodded helplessly and said, "I can't deceive myself. My father suddenly transferred me from Youzhou to Lanzhou. It is certainly impossible to say that there is no intention in that respect. However, such a thing as "Abolishing legitimate rights and establishing common people" has become a taboo in all dynasties As far as I know, not only changsun Wuji, but also Fang Xuanling, the Minister of the central court, are firmly opposed to this. I know my situation. There's no chance. So sometimes I think that my father deliberately did this, just pushed me to the top of the storm and let me be a shield to protect the crown prince he really wanted to establish! "

Qin mubai's face, showing a smile of relief. He nodded. He said, "Your Highness, you are really smart."

"I was destined to have a miserable ending, wasn't I?" Li Ke added bitterly and said, "the party struggle in the DPRK has seriously affected the rise and fall of the whole empire, and its core and root is nothing more than the battle for the crown prince. The crown prince's elder brother fell down. I went far to Youzhou, leaving only the king of Wei and the king of Jin. If we really want to fight for it, the king of Jin is far from the opponent of the king of Wei. Now Chang sun Wuji has joined hands with the king of Wei, and the king of Jin has no chance of winning. Under such circumstances, if my father wanted to protect the king of Jin, the only way was to divert the attention of the eldest grandson and the king of Wei, and let them turn the spearhead to another direction - so, I went back to Beijing to reply, and Lanzhou supervised the army! "

"Do you mean that what your majesty really wants to establish at this moment is the king of Jin? And you and me. Is it just one of the two idiots who played the role of a clam fighting with a duck? " Qin mubai asked quietly.

Li Ke shook his head blankly, "I don't know No one knows. I guess even my father himself didn't know. In terms of blood ability, after the abolition of the eldest brother of the crown prince, the king of Wei was dominant. No one can compete with him any more. However, previous events have completely exposed his hypocrisy in front of his father. Moreover, the king of Wei was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. In order to fight for the position of the crown prince, he lost his due position and integrity. He openly joined hands with his former enemy, eldest son Wuji, and was just about to drive the imperial palace. In fact, this kind of blatant alliance and alliance is the most taboo of my father and Emperor. Otherwise, when Chang sun Wuji suggested that the king of Wei should come to Lanzhou to supervise the army, my father would not have sent me unexpectedly. It's like slapping him in public and warning him severely. Therefore, no matter when, my father does not allow others to control the overall situation. No one dares to offend this taboo, no matter who he is! "

"Well said." Qin mubai nodded and praised, "this time, the king of Wei was really too anxious or too flustered. He did a big stupid thing with Chang sun Wuji, who was also afraid of losing power."

Li Ke said: "I dare to guess only after I think about these things clearly. My father himself has some problems with the issue of Li Chu. He suddenly pushed me to the top of the table, which may not have much to do with Li Chu. He just wants to set up a close opponent for the eldest grandson and the king of Wei on the court hall, so as to achieve the goal of balancing the court hall! "

"True knowledge and wisdom, your highness!" Qin mubai praised again.

"Therefore, instead of thinking so much, it's better to go back to one and think nothing - I'll just fight! No matter what happens in the future, the boat will go straight to the bridge! " Li Ke said with a smile.

Qin Mu nodded his head, and exclaimed in his heart that he was the prince who was born in royal blood and had been involved in conspiracy and plot since childhood. After a lot of training, Li Ke has made great progress in his cultivation. Now his cool wisdom, sharp vision and calm and steady, has been far beyond my imagination. Originally, I wanted to persuade him not to think too much, but to concentrate on fighting. Now it seems that this kind of talk can be omitted!
