Chapter 502

A month of time, spent in tension and busy.

The people of the plateau have to accept the fact that their Dynasty has "submitted" to the Tang Dynasty. In a month's time, although there was an occasional tribal rebellion, there was no big wave under the persuasion of abandoning the clan and the strong pressure of Qin mubai.

The present situation is the best outcome. It is impossible for the two countries to fight for hegemony without death. Garqinling knows this fact better than anyone else, so he gave himself a clean end, and also used his death to give the final gift of peace to the abandoned clan and the Tibetan people.

In order to live up to the good intentions of garqin mausoleum, he tried his best to persuade the Tubo people to surrender and not resist after the war.

Many indignant Tubo people could not understand the behavior of abandoning the sect and praising it. While praising the magnificence of the garqin mausoleum, they began to scold and attack the "humiliation and betrayal" of abandoning the sect and praising it.

Sporadic rebellions occurred one after another in all parts of the plateau. Every time they happened, they would go to persuade and appease him personally. Most of them were angry and accused, and some even wanted to kill him, the former Zanpu.

"It doesn't matter that they misunderstood me, but they also misunderstood the meaning of Qinling's" survival by death ". I'm really sad!" This is the way of abandoning the sect.

So far, Qin mubai of course wanted to reduce the difficulty of post-war rehabilitation to the greatest extent with the help of abandoning the clan and praising, but the tribal enfeoffment system implemented by the Tubo Dynasty. Since the country is dead, many tribal leaders are unwilling to give up their vested interests and power, and it is reasonable to launch armed rebellion.

For these. Qin mubai mercilessly carried out a powerful armed barrage!

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been killed. Do you still care about that?

After more than a month, the plateau gradually became calm.

Calculate the day, Qin mubai to the court to report the victory of the war, but also to Chang'an. I believe the reply will be issued soon. At that time, the imperial court will take care of the remnant of Tubo.

Qin mubai knew that it was time for him to leave Luo.

On this day, he went to see Li Ke.

Through more than a month of recuperation and adaptation. Li Ke's health has finally improved. Now, as a representative of the imperial court, he has finally officially shouldered the full responsibility for the governance of Tubo. Qin mubai and Li Ke managed the army and the people perfectly.

"Your Highness, it's time for me to go." Qin mubai is open to the mountain.

"Go? Where to? " Li Ke was obviously a bit surprised.

"You forget that the imperial court appointed me the protector of Anxi. My duty is to manage the western regions." Qin mubai said with a smile. "Pacifying Tubo is only a small part of my duty. My main energy is still in the western regions. "

"That's not true." Li Ke frowned, "the so-called Anxi Dadu guard is just a virtual job. Tubo should be the place you need to manage most. Where can you go when you say "go?"

Qin mubai smiles, "Your Highness, I must go. The end of the Tubo war left only civil affairs and reorganization. This kind of problem should not be handled by me, the commander of the frontier army. Otherwise, it would be illegal. What's more, now I have 500000 troops in my hand, and you enjoy all the great powers granted by the imperial court. Aren't you afraid that someone will say that we want to delimit the land and rule, and make ourselves king? "

Li Ke frowned deeply, sighed and said, "I know it will be this reason. Now you really have too much credit and too much military power. On the Tubo plateau, almost everyone knows nothing but Qin mubai and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. "

"So, I'm very knowledgeable. I won't stay in Tubo any longer, and I won't continue to hold all the military power." Qin mubai said with a smile, "not surprisingly, when the imperial edict was issued, I didn't want to leave and I had to leave. Instead of this, I'd better sell it first. I will only take my old Guanxi army and the Huihe allied forces back to Lanzhou. On the one hand, I will stabilize the rear area and make a response for you to reorganize and govern Tubo in the future. On the other hand, I will look forward to the western regions. As for the aftermath of Tubo, the troops sent by the imperial court and the troops collected from Tubo, I don't care about it at all. "

Li Ke pondered for a moment, and his expression gradually became serious. At last, he could only nod his head helplessly and said, "mubai, it's not easy to be a king, it's even more difficult to be a minister. There are not many people like you who know the times and advance and retreat. Although we need you now, I know that your decision is wise. Just like when we came back to Chang'an from Xiangzhou, you and I will be separated again. "

"Don't worry, I'll see you again soon." Qin mubai laughed and said, "if it's not unexpected, the imperial court should stay in Luodian and take full charge of all the aftermath of Tubo. You will stay here for the next few years. If I am not transferred back to Chang'an, I will still stay in Lanzhou. See what happens in the western regions, and then decide my next move. But no matter what happens in the future, you and I will go back to Chang'an together in no more than three years. "

"Chang'an?" Li Ke took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "three years later, I don't know what the situation is. To tell you the truth, I would rather stay in this remote plateau and be busy all day than go back to Chang'an. I'm very tired there. "

"It's not that you can't go back if you don't want to." Qin mubai said with a smile, "don't forget, we are the ministers of the Tang Dynasty after all. Our roots are in Chang'an and above the court. There are no vassal kings in the Tang Dynasty, not now, and not in the future. "After hearing Qin mubai's last words, Li Ke's expression changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal. "I see what you mean. In fact, you don't need to remind me that my mind is always clear and I won't make stupid mistakes. "

"That's good." Qin Mu Bai showed his face and laughed, "I've been parting for several years. I'll meet you in a hurry, and I'll be parting soon. I hope you won't be so numb and nauseous next time we meet. "

"What are you talking about?" Li Ke was both angry and funny. "You can go and do your business at ease! I know that the blueprint of western regions constructed by my father and you is only half finished. You didn't do your best in such an important battle against Tubo. Instead, you laid the most important foreshadowing in Yumen pass. As far as I know, Su dingfang is the favorite student of Weigong pharmacist. His talent, learning and virtue are 100 times of Hou Junji's. Don't you leave him 20000 excellent teachers to guard the invincible Yumen pass just for today? "

Qin mubai said with a smile: "sure enough, nothing can be concealed from your highness. Su lie of Yumen pass is not only my foreshadowing, but also my last back road and trump card to the army of guanxi. Although there were only 20000 troops there, they were among the elite of the Kansai army. In fact, at the beginning of the war, I was not sure that I would defeat garqin mausoleum, but I can't tell anyone. So I had to leave Su dingfang to guard Yumen pass. If we are defeated, we can evacuate from Kunlun mountain to Yumen pass unexpectedly. Of course, my deepest intention is to let Su dingfang overlook the western regions. There is no doubt that when the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo warlords fought, there was no movement in the western regions, especially in the ambitious northern Turkic court

"So it is..." Li Ke nodded and said, "I understand. You have long thought that no matter whether you can defeat the garqin mausoleum or not, you will not stay more on the plateau. "

"Yes." Qin Mu Bai nodded with a smile, "if you lose, you can only run for your life; if you win, this place doesn't belong to me. First of all, I dare not take the credit alone. Therefore, when I went to the imperial court, I attributed most of the credit to your highness, you, Li Daliang and other generals. "

"In line with me." Li Ke's low voice was solemn. "It's well known that you should take at least 70% of the credit for this day, but you can't do it alone. It's true that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to military merit and rewards for meritorious service, but it's not as good as it is. Too much credit may not be a good thing! "

"So I'm sure I won't go to the western regions myself. The next thing I want to do is to stay in Lanzhou and enjoy happiness. Waiting for the day when the court will transfer me back to Beijing. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "even if there is a war in the western regions, I believe Su dingfang will be able to deal with it! Even if I need Lanzhou's support, I won't do it myself. I'll send Xue Rengui! "

"Xue Rengui, Yu Wen, Hong Tai and Pang Fei have all made great achievements this time, and they will be prosperous soon. And the eighth military station under your command is also very good. Four court pillars and eight military platforms of guanxi army. Only Su Ding Fang is not brilliant yet - I can see that you have left Su Ding Fang the best chance! " Li Ke suddenly realized, "mubai, I really admire you. No matter when, your mind is so clear, the overall situation is also very good. In addition, you are not greedy and generous. You are willing to share the achievements with others and never monopolize. No wonder you have such a high prestige in the Kansai army. Even Li Daliang and others who just joined the gang are very convinced of you! ——If you want me to say, people like you are more suitable to be born in the imperial family

"No! I'm not fit at all! " Qin mubai said with a smile, "let's talk about it here! Later, I'll go back to the barracks, reorganize the troops and prepare to leave. "

"In such a hurry?" Li Ke said, "well, let me arrange a farewell party for you? You'll see some of them again, such as abandoning Zong and praising Li Daliang. "

"More is better than less. I'll be quiet and go quietly." Qin mubai said with a smile. "To put it bluntly, I'm just a thug. What am I doing here after the fight? The rest of the matter is left to you. In addition, if one day the imperial court gives me a big reward, it means that my days in the Guanxi army are over, and it's time to return to Chang'an. "

"Maybe, me too..." Li Ke gave a slightly bitter smile. He said, "let's get together again in the future."

"Get together again!"

Later, Qin mubai came to the barracks. He issued a military order, asking Xue Rengui to gather the former Guanxi army's old team together and return to Lanzhou. Sun Bo and Golmud are selected for the route, and they travel southeast along the Kunlun Mountains. In this way, we can check whether these places are peaceful or not, and secondly, we can check whether they are peaceful or not. This way, the terrain is relatively gentle, which is good for everyone's health.

In recent days, Xuelian has been neglected a little. Qin mubai has spent a little time to make her happy. At this time, Tantai sisters privately told Qin mubai that Xuelian might be pregnant.

The news surprised Qin mubai a little, but Xuelian denied it. Qin mubai, looking after her face, didn't ask fiercely. He only thought about how to take her home if she went back to Lanzhou

At night, the Kansai army began to camp and quietly left the city.

Qin mubai rode on his horse and looked back at the luoxie King City under the dark night sky. Countless fragments and faces flashed through his mind like a movie. He couldn't help feeling a lot.Xue Rengui led his department to the front. The true God of war of the Kansai army will always be like an arrow that leaves the string. It will never go ahead without disadvantage. Yuwen Hongtai's serious injury did not heal, Qin mubai arranged 50 people to carry him with stretcher or carriage along the way. In addition, some of the wounded were well placed and cared for.

Compared with the heroic spirit when they went out to fight, the Kansai army, who came back from winning the battle, did not sing a song of triumph and jumped all the way, but was more tired and tired.

"This army needs recuperation." Qin mubai decided that no matter what happened in the next three months, the Kansai army must stay in the rear for a period of time. Otherwise, even the best troops may be dragged down. The most tired should be to follow Xue Rengui, who came back to Yumen to fight against Tubo. This group of men in a year almost around Kyushu run a circle, and now still support did not fall, it is a miracle.

The speed of the march of the Kansai army was not fast. It took nearly 20 days. Just got to Golmud.

In front of us is Kunlun, known as the holy mountain.

As expected, it is majestic and majestic in the sky.

Qin mubai ordered to stay in the camp for three days before leaving.

"Young commander, it is said that Kunlun is a sacred mountain, and there is more water in the yaochi Lake in Golmud. Why don't we worship the gods here and pay homage to those soldiers who died in battle! " Someone suggested.

Qin mubai said with a smile, "even if there are gods in Kunlun. I guess I don't like it either. You forget, I let Pang Fei blow up the water in yaochi and submerge Golmud! "

The crowd laughed and said, "it's the God of Tubo who is dissatisfied with you at most. We only worship the God of Central Plains! It is said that the queen mother of the West lives in Kunlun

"All right! Anyway, if we want to recuperate for a few days, we will go up to Kunlun Mountain and worship the gods

It was already winter. Snow flying thousands of miles silver makeup. The towering Kunlun Mountains are so magnificent!

Qin mubai, Xue Rengui, Pang Fei and other generals, as well as Ashina Xuelian, who strongly demanded to see the holy mountain, climbed the Kunlun Mountain and looked at the water of the Yao Lake.

"Kunlun, you can really afford to be bold and strong!" Qin mubai ascended the mountain and looked into the distance. His eyes were poor and his heart was full of enthusiasm.

"Mubai, do you think the gods will be angry with you?" A Shi Na blood lotus a little tease of smile way. "You dare to go wild in Kunlun, blow up yaochi and kill people!"

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent. They regard everything as their cud dog." Qin mubai said with a smile, "I don't know if there is a God in this world. If there is, maybe in the eyes of God, there are not so many right and wrong, good and evil as we say. It's like we look at a group of newly born cud dogs. If they want to fight with each other, they can only let them

"What else does God mean to us?" Blood lotus way.

"It's not that I disrespect God. I think God is a spiritual sustenance and a beautiful thought for us." Qin mubai said, "when people encounter things that can't be solved, they ask God. Who can God ask? If there are so many merciful and helpful gods in the world, how can there be so many bloody dead and suffering creatures? So in the final analysis, it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself to control your own destiny! "

After hearing this, Xuelian thought for a moment and said, "mubai, I don't know the meaning of the word" warrior "until now."

"Tell me?" Qin mubai asked with a smile.

"I used to think that a man who wields a machete and is fearless and invincible on the battlefield is a warrior." Blood lotus says, "now I just understand, originally true warrior.". It's those who dare to face, challenge and try to change their destiny! "

Qin mubai laughs but does not speak, overlooking the snow sea of the majestic Kunlun, let the eternal wind and snowflakes fly past, heart like a galloping horse, thoughts hundred turns.

At the moment, he is only missing one person, one who will never appear around him again, and will never disappear in his heart.

"Blood lotus. According to you... " After a long time, Qin mubai suddenly said, "I should be regarded as the son of the warrior!"
