Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 433
Chapter 433 Attack With Filial Piety
In the past, the tent of the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army became the White Filial Piety Spirit Hall. The Tang Dragon Flag on the top of the tent was replaced with a white Soul Summoning Flag. Dozens of miles away, the camp was filled with endless mourning as white coins flew about.
The grief and indignation of the Tang soldiers finally reached its peak three days later.
Throughout the camp, groups of people gathered together to discuss the shamelessness and filth of the Tibetans assassinating Qin Mubai. In addition, Guanxi Army was originally a mourning soldier. Previously, there was still Old Marshal Qin Shubao’s blood feud that had not been avenged, but now, there was a new hatred!
The grief and indignation in everyone’s hearts finally gathered to the peak, and they were close to the verge of exploding.
In the past, the obedient soldiers also dared to question the team, why the general did not send troops, conquer Gaer Qinling, revenge for the Major Marshal father and son blood hate; Everyone was furious, the team was unable to suppress it, so they had to report it to the brigade commander. The brigade marshal, who was similarly puzzled and indignant, reported to the captain, and then to the commandant … The lieutenant corps commander, general, general, and general arrived at every level!
Finally, on this morning, hundreds of generals of all sizes gathered in front of the mourning hall. All of them wore white silk helmets wrapped in white filial piety. They came together to question why Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun did not mention revenge. They also signed a blood-red silk petition together with tens of thousands of generals and swore to fight Tubo to the death!
The crowd was filled with excitement, and the crowd’s intentions could not
Originally, Xue Wanjun was ranked the highest in the Kansai army of Da Feichuan, below Qin Mubai. However, Hou Junji was the marching Sima and Yi Manor corps commander under Qin Mubai. He was also the general staff officer of the entire army and Qin Mubai’s confidant arm. Therefore, Hou Junji’s identity was even more important.
In the past, when Qin Mubai was around, Hou Junji and Xue Wan were evenly matched. Now that Qin Mubai was gone, Da Feichuan was originally Xue Wanjun’s territory, and Hou Junji was an outsider, so Xue Wanjun took some initiative.
At this moment, Xue Wanjun was like the generals who had come to ask for orders, fighting with one force. If Hou Junji hadn’t been trying to persuade him, this valiant general of Fang Gang would have lifted his Divine Martial Cannon and charged out like Yuwen Hongtai, looking for Gaer Qinling to fight to the death.
In front of the mourning hall, the vast expanse of white knelt down. The generals kept roaring, “Take revenge, fight to the death!”
“Hou Junji, you’ve already seen it. Everyone has a hard time dealing with it.” Xue Wanjun and Hou Junji knelt side by side in front of the coffin and burned the paper money. “Nobody can replace Major Marshal in the Kansai army. Even if he leaves, you can’t,” he whispered.
“What do you mean?” Hou Junji was a little annoyed. “Could it be that I am someone who is selfish and despicable? Would I take advantage of this situation to take advantage of my own power?”
“Only you know what you think.” Xue Wanjun glanced coldly at him and said, “Right now, no one in Da Feichuan doesn’t want to avenge Major Marshal. The only exception is you, Hou Junji. Actually, the person who should avenge Major Marshal the most should be you, right? If it weren’t for Major Marshal’s help in recruiting him, you would still be a cripple who can live and die drunkenly.”
“Xue Wanjun, Major Marshal’s bones aren’t cold yet. I don’t want to argue with you. Raising my head three feet, I can see the sun and moon in my heart. I don’t need to explain to you nonsense.” Hou Junji’s expression was tense as he said coldly, “I only know that we must focus on the overall situation and not act righteously. Originally, the Tibetan army was stronger than ours. If we act recklessly and impulsively, there will only be one defeat. Now, no one in the entire army is calm and rational. Hatred and bravery alone cannot defeat Gaer Qinling. Otherwise, how could we wait until today?”
“Hou Junji, you are not mean! To think that you would be able to say such a sarcastic thing!” Xue Wanjun couldn’t restrain himself and immediately pointed at Hou Junji and cursed angrily, “According to what you said, if the old marshal is dead, we should be indifferent.” Major Marshal is dead, and we have to hold back? It’s not good to be impulsive, but if you lose your loyalty and courage in life, what’s the difference between you and a vegetable pig or dog? –I, Xue, would rather be the general of the defeated army than a merciless and unrighteous person! ”
“Good! General Xue is right!” The soldiers outside the hall cheered loudly.
“What are you arguing about?” Suddenly, an incomparably tall body stood up. It was Yuwen Hongtai.
This typical reckless brute who used to be wild and untamed was now exceptionally calm. He stood up, his eyes cold as ice as he swept through the people outside the hall, and said in a low voice, “Scram, scram.”
Everyone who was accustomed to Yuwen Hongtai shouting was also silent for a moment.
“Did you hear that? Get lost.” Yuwen Hongtai calmly said, “If you want to argue or kill, scram far away. Don’t disturb my third brother to sleep.”
Everyone’s faces immediately revealed a look of shame, and they also faintly felt a pain in their hearts. They all stood up speechlessly and left the mourning hall.
Yuwen Hongtai still knelt down in front of Qin Mubai’s spirit pivot. He carefully burned the paper money page by page and whispered like he was chatting, “Third Brother, even you are not here. What’s the point of me being alive?” It was no longer interesting to fight a fart, cut off a dog’s head, marry a wife, and give birth to a child. In the past, as long as I follow you, I will drink cold water every day to chew old noodles and live a good life. Even if I get hit by a board, I will feel happy and comfortable. But now … the heavens are fucking blind, so many people are dying, why aren’t they dying? If we don’t fight against Tibet, we should fight against the heavens and rebel against the heavens. I want to be the first to pull him out and have him let you back. If you don’t obey me, I will go down with a golden clang and smash his head to pieces! ”
Talk nonsense, talk nonsense, talk nonsense, talk nonstop.
However, the generals followed Hou Junji relentlessly until they entered his tent.
“Hou Junji, let me tell you this!” Xue Wanjun stood upright in front of Hou Junji and said, “If I, Xue, am the only one who wants to take revenge, then forget it. I am willing to listen to you. Who told you to be my former superior and even march towards Sima Jun?” Right now, all the soldiers in the army are going to take revenge, so I can’t be their master. “In a word, the will of the crowd cannot go against the anger of the crowd. You can do as you please.”
Hou Junji coldly swept over the dozens of high-ranking soldiers in the tent and said, “Then what do you want?”
“Hand over the talisman, dispatch the warhorses, and fight to the death with Gaer Qinling!”
“All of them?”
“Of course.”
“I can’t.” Hou Junji replied resolutely, “I can understand the anger in your hearts when you love Major Marshal. But have you ever thought about how painful it would be if Major Marshal were alive if the entire Kansai army were to be buried because of this?”
Everyone was speechless. Xue Wanjun sighed and said, “Alright, what do you think we should do?”
‘”Since the will of the crowd cannot be disobeyed, I am powerless to stop you. However, Major Marshal, left behind by Guanxi Army, must not be turned into a mob. Even if you want revenge and fight, you must plan and act, properly arrange your troops, and set up a proper formation.” Hou Junji said, “Actually, I want to fight to the death with Gaer Qinling just like all of you. However, hatred and bravery alone are not enough.”
“You’re a marching Sima. We’ll listen to you if you tell us how to fight!” The generals shouted at the same time.
Hou Junji stood up with his hands behind his back, glanced at the generals in the tent, and nodded, “Alright!-But before that, I have an important proposal. You must accept it before we can bring out the talisman to dispatch troops!”
“Tell me.”
“With the new death of Major Marshal, Dafei Chuan has no leaders. The most urgent matter now is to invite someone to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the situation.” Hou Junji paused for a moment before continuing, “Don’t look at me. Someone knows that you’ve always treated me like an outsider, and I know that I have neither merit nor prestige in the short term. I’m not talking about myself.”
“Who is that?”
“There are two other important deputies under the general manager of the Kansai Road Army, Young Marshal Qin,” Hou Junji said. At that time, the deputy marching general was in charge of Fang Xuanling, while the other person was the Jiang Xia King, Li Daozong, on behalf of the Great Governor of Lanzhou. Since Fang Xuan was far away in the capital, there was no need to think about it. I believe that everyone is no stranger to Jiang Xia King Li Dao Sect. With his qualifications and prestige, I believe no one will object to temporarily taking over the handsome seal left behind by Major Marshal, right? ”
The generals thought for a moment and chatted. Since Hou Junji did not want to seize military power with selfish motives, with the reputation and qualifications of the King of Jiangxia and Major Marshal’s friendship with him, he was indeed a suitable candidate. Thus, they accepted it together.
“Alright then, immediately go to Lanzhou and invite the King of Jiangxia!”
Two days later, dawn.
The Tang army swore an oath and attacked with filial piety.
Former YuWen hong tai, rate elite Mo Dao, group brand crossbows and other steps died more than ten thousand, row of infantry array drum impetuous forward; ZhongJun Xue WanJun, rate of twenty thousand steps under the pressure town main battle, two-winged light cavalry auxiliary sweep array, a total of thirty thousand troops.
At first glance, it looked like an ordinary battle technique of the Tang army. However, there were still twenty large yak carts between the former army and the Central Army. They dragged twenty Divine Martial Cannons that had never stepped onto the battlefield before and slowly moved forward. The black muzzle of the cannon pointed towards the sky.
In the Dafeichuan Military Camp, a total of forty Divine Martial Cannons had been transported to guard the border. Today, these Divine Martial Cannons, which had never left the turret since they were loaded, were dismantled, and the Tang soldiers, who were rolling along the city wall, flew straight towards Qingluo Yuan.
Love and hate were the most powerful forces in this world.
Boundless hatred transformed into surging rage, rushing towards Xiao Tian like a volcano erupting from within the Tang army formation!
The Tibetans quickly discovered the news. The Tang army’s tens of thousands of warhorses rushed forward in an earth-shattering manner and came to fight as regular soldiers.
Over the past few days, Gaer Qinling and the abandoned sect had been praising each other, each of them feeling a little restless. Hearing this news again, Gaer Qinling, who had always been very calm, was instantly enraged-“Whole army, welcome the enemy!”
He thought to himself, “Just in time!” Although repeated scouts have yielded the same results, I still don’t believe that Qin Mubai has really died from poison! It must be a fraud! Now, he actually dared to send tens of thousands of warhorses here, so-called revenge and blood hatred, wasn’t it just to help him lie? Watch me beat you to a pulp! I’d like to see if you Tang army are really angry or fake hatred. At that time, you can tell if it’s true or fake at a glance!
Just as the Tibetan generals agreed, Qizong Nongzan suddenly raised his hand and said, “Slow down!”
Gaer Qinling came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted, “What orders does Zamper have?”
“At this time, you are not allowed to fight.” Qizong Nongzan said with a serious expression.
“Why?” Gaer Qinling and the generals asked together, “The Tang army attacked and killed in a large scale. Is there a reason why our army should not meet the enemy?”
“Qin Ling, ever since I gave you the command to allow you to fight on your own, I have never interfered with your use of force, have I?” Qizong Nongzan said.
“Yes, Zan Pu.” Gaer Qinling looked at Qizong Nongzan in surprise and said.
“But this time, can you listen to my order and execute the military order?” Qizong Nongzan said.
“Puzan … please give the order.”
“Alright, the entire army, pull up and withdraw thirty li.” Qizong Nongzan said.
“What?” Gaer Qinling and the other generals were shocked at the same time and looked at their Zan Pu in puzzlement.
