Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 460
Chapter 460 Stunning Talent
Almost overnight, the news of the victory in Kansai spread throughout Chang’an City, and immediately spread its wings all over Guanzhong, spreading in all directions.
The world trembled, and all the people were astonished!
The Illusory Moon Valley and Da Feichuan won two great victories, wiping out nearly 150,000 enemy soldiers-this was the greatest victory the Great Tang had ever won against Tibet!
In recent years, the Tibetan army has been stubborn and sharp. It was such a rude outsider who was in a remote and barbaric place, yet he actually disrespected the Heavenly Dynasty and repeatedly invaded, causing people to gnash their teeth and gnash their teeth in annoyance. However, the Great Tang, which was in its heyday for a time, had not been able to win all the battles with Tibet. Their powerful plateau cavalry had once become a huge rock that pressed down on the hearts of the Tang people, and it was also an untouchable scar of shame in the hearts of some people.
Hearing this news, all the officials and citizens in the world felt as if they had spat out a mouthful of evil energy and were proud of themselves!
The next day, Li Shimin once again dictated the situation. He ordered the elite knights to be selected from the 600 thousand troops outside the pass to form a total of 100 thousand troops. He ordered Baiji’s Deputy Envoy Qin Tong and Qin Bin to temporarily serve as the commanders of the two generals of the Dragon Martial Guards. From today onwards, they would start marching in groups, equipped with weapons, and trained in the army. A month later, the emperor selected another general and led the hundred thousand cavalry to Kansai to assist Qin Mubai!
The news of a victory and a battle attracted the attention of the vast majority of people. The matter of the Emperor reneging on his words and going on a personal expedition was subtly diluted. Now, the world’s public opinion had turned to Kansai without any suspense, aiming at the young military commander who had created an astonishing miracle, Qin Mubai.
‘”He is really a bold and flexible military genius! He cheated the people of the world and secretly arranged to lay a net for Gaer Qinling. He hit him in one blow and won!” “He’s really a bold and flexible military genius!” “He cheated the people of the world, and secretly arranged to lay a net for Gaer Qinling. He won in one blow!”
‘”Li Wei used his troops fairly. The most important word is’ Strange and Righteous’. It is difficult to distinguish between reality and falsehood. It can be said that he has destroyed the weak or defeated the strong. It can be said that he is as calm as Mount Taishan. It seems that Qin Mubai has truly comprehended the divine essence of Duke Wei’s art of war!”
“I, the Great Tang, am truly a hero of the world! Although Duke Wei is old, there are people who have obtained his true legacy!”-The white Qin Mu called ‘Major Marshal’ in his early twenties, more than twenty years younger than the British Duke Li Xu of the Great Wall of the North! Now that Qin Mubai has become famous all over the world, his achievements and prospects are limitless on holidays! ”
“Let’s see if he can create more miracles and achieve greater results!”
Qin Mubai was discussed everywhere on the streets and alleys of the Imperial Court. Qin Mubai was now like a gambler who had won a hundred million lottery tickets in an era when the entire people respected martial arts. The slight difference was that gamblers who had made a fortune overnight were often envious, jealous, hateful, and disdainful of the rich; As for Qin Mubai, many people regarded him as a hero idol to worship and admire.
Nowadays, the people of the Great Tang dynasty despised money worship, disdain for the outside world, and did not need to seduce foreigners. Their beliefs and worship still retained their primitiveness and purity that had not yet been dusted off. Coupled with the Zhenguan Great Tang, it was already a dynasty full of heroes, so this era was destined to be magnificent and passionate.
As long as he didn’t die tomorrow, there would be people who would constantly create legends!
…
At Yumen Pass, snow flew everywhere, and the distance between them was a thousand kilometers.
Qin Mubai, dressed in military uniform, brought Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and a group of guards around the Alliance Army camp to comfort the soldiers.
“Ding Fang, Ren Gui, the two of you should consider the supplies of grain and bedding together to see if you can provide these hundred thousand troops with a safe winter?” Qin Mubai asked. Right now, this was the issue he was most concerned about.
Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui gathered together with the general in charge of logistics to check on Zuo Shen for a few hours and reported to Qin Mubai that Xue Rengui had brought a large amount of military resources from the Nine Surnames Tiele and Huihe tribes along the way. After passing through Tianshan Mountain’s Hu Lu Tribe, he received a portion of the gifts. In addition to Gao Changguo’s donations of money and the spoils of war from Pu Changhai’s Tibetan camp, the amount of materials currently stored in the army was enough for the army to consume half a year.
His burning eyebrows were filled with anxiety. This was undoubtedly a big stone that had moved into Qin Mubai’s heart.
Tomorrow was the Spring Festival in the Central Plains. Tonight, on New Year’s Eve, Qin Mubai ordered the three armies to be rewarded for celebrating the Spring Festival. Although the majority of the allied forces in Yumen Pass were Huihe and Turkic, they had long heard of the Spring Festival in the Central Plains and wanted to enjoy some good wine and meat to eat and drink.
As a result, the entire army was filled with relaxed joy. There are many Huihe people imitate the han army, hanging lanterns in the tent, kill cattle slaughter sheep pot cooking food. A large number of cattle, sheep, dried meat, cream and highland barley wine seized from the Tibetan camp have added flavor to this Spring Festival.
After patrolling the camp for half a day, everything was normal. Qin Mubai and the other generals were relieved. The alliance army of the various countries was not comparable to the army of the Great Tang Family. People’s hearts would inevitably fluctuate, and the troops would definitely not be so easy to lead. Currently, the hundred thousand troops were mainly composed of Huihe and Turkic people, accounting for eighty percent of the total. The rest were Gaochang people, but they were actually descendants of the black-haired and black-eyed Han people.
However, they had the lowest status in the Alliance Army. Whether it was the Turks or the Huihe, they treated them as slaves and prisoners, disdainful and disdainful.
As for the Gaochang people themselves, they were also in danger night and night, afraid that one day Qin Mubai and the Tang army soldiers would think of old enmity and hatred and use them to sacrifice flags.
Qin Mubai and the others arrived in front of the Gaochang camp.
There was only snow in the camp. Occasionally, a small group of soldiers would patrol the camp. When they saw the outsiders, they didn’t dare to ask questions or reprimand them. Instead, they pretended not to see them walking away with their necks shrunk.
Qin Mubai knitted his eyebrows and stood outside the camp for a moment. He looked at the Tang Dragon Flag and the Gaochang King Flag floating on the pagoda with a complicated expression.
Everyone quietly stood behind him without interrupting him. Snowflakes fell on their bodies.
“Qin Major Marshal, what do you plan to do with the 20,000 surrendered soldiers from Gaochang?”
A crisp voice suddenly sounded. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the army leader of the Huihe tribe, the princess of the old aristocrat of the Prairie Turks, Ashner Blood Lotus.
“Dispose of?” Qin Mubai smiled and patted the snow on his shoulder. “They used to be enemies, but now they are allies. What should we do?”
“They are accomplices in the murder of your father! Perhaps someone has stabbed your father with a knife and spear before!” Ah Shi Na Xue Lian said.
Qin Mubai’s movements froze, and everyone’s expressions changed. Xue Rengui hurriedly pulled the Blood Lotus and signaled her not to continue.
However, Blood Lotus said, “What I said is the truth!” The sons and daughters of the grasslands never knew what hypocrisy was! Murder pays for life, father hates sworn enmity. ‘”Qin Major Marshal, if you also recruit and betray these 20,000 Gaochang people and forget about your past hatred and blood, then Ashner Blood Lotus, who grew up with the sword and saber under the protection of the Wolf God, won’t accompany you-I will immediately lead 40,000 cavalry back to the Mobei Prairie!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became even uglier. In the current Yumen Pass, the elite Huihe Cavalry was one-third of the troops, and was an extremely important force that they had earned in vain. Moreover, everyone knew that these 40,000 cavalry were like the dowries of two noble princesses of the Ashner Clan. They were gifted to Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui by the nine Tiele clans of the grasslands!
But now, Ashner Xue Lian had broken his promise in public … Obviously, targeting Gao Chang’s surrender was only an excuse for Ashner Xue Lian. So, what is the reason?
“Are you trying to kill me?” Qin Mu didn’t even turn her head and smiled. “It’s true that 40,000 Huihe soldiers are very important to me now, but if you want to leave, then leave. On behalf of Guanxi Army, I would like to send you off.”
“You! … I’m so angry!” A Ming Na Xue Lian stomped on the snow a few times before turning around and leaving.
Su Dingfang hurriedly gave Xue Rengui a look and signaled him to chase after him. However, Qin Mubai shouted, “Let her go. Don’t worry about it!”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Qin Mubai’s order had already been issued, so it was inconvenient for them to say more.
“The army is not a place for her children to be reckless.” After a moment of silence, Qin Mubai said, “We always threaten to return to Mobei. Such a friendly army is too insincere. It doesn’t matter if we don’t want it. Otherwise, when the battlefield comes to an end, this uncertainty will become our fatal weakness.”
Everyone was speechless.
Su Dingfang nudged Xue Rengui with his elbow.
‘”Young Marshal, although Rengui has half the bloodline of a Han, she is a typical grassland person. She is unrestrained and has a fiery temperament. She has always been outspoken and has a sense of justice. What she said just now … is nothing more than a saber mouth and a tofu heart.” Xue Xue Lian could only say it casually.
“My father’s last words say, ‘There is no selfish grudge on the battlefield.’ Similarly, since you are in the army, you must forget your own gender. You must even forget whose children you are and whose father and brother you are. You only need to remember that you are a soldier!” Qin Mubai’s eyebrows darkened slightly and he said impolitely, “But her attitude represents the attitude of the 40,000 Huihe Alliance Army. It’s harmful to us to treat military and national affairs like a joke. It’s not that I don’t have the capacity to tolerate people, but undesirable allies are often more terrifying than powerful enemies! … If she wants to leave, then let her take them away!”
“She won’t leave.” Xue Rengui said with certainty, “How could she return so easily after trekking through countless mountains and rivers without avoiding danger?”
Su Dingfang was so anxious that he scratched his head, thinking to himself, how could Xue Rengui be so stupid as to say such nonsense?
“Forget it, get out of the way. I’ll do it!” Su Dingfang couldn’t bear it any longer and pulled Xue Rengui away, saying, “Young Marshal, to put it bluntly, this Snow Lotus is jealous of you and dissatisfied with you.”
Everyone laughed, but they didn’t dare to laugh loudly.
Qin Mubai’s face trembled awkwardly and said seriously, “What have I offended her for? Have I been rude, unfriendly, and disrespectful to her these past few days?”
“It’s just too polite, too friendly, too respectful, that’s why you seem to be an outsider.” Su Dingfang smiled and said, “A beauty, in front of you, you only treat her as a commander-in-chief of the friendly army and as a man. What do you think of her? Besides, she clearly admired you, which makes people feel even more aggrieved? This is really Luo Hua’s intention to be merciless!”
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“What are you laughing at!” Qin Mubai shouted angrily and said, “Oh, according to what you said, Luo Hua is affectionate, so Liushui has to do it intentionally? For the sake of the 40,000 Huihe cavalry, I, Qin Shui, have to make a promise?”
“En, it hit the nail on the head.” Su Dingfang raised his eyebrows and said, “This is a good thing for both people and goods. Why don’t you agree?”
“Bullshit!” Qin Mubai curled her lips and said angrily, “I’m not that Ying’er Yan’er from the prostitute. I still have to sell myself to survive-stop talking nonsense and follow me to the camp.”
“Yes.”
Everyone agreed to follow Qin Mubai into the barracks, but they still nodded and secretly snickered.
“Forcefully twisting the melon is not sweet. This matter of love between a man and a woman is indeed impossible to force!” Xue Rengui shook her head and sighed helplessly.
“Tsk! I say you’re just too obedient!” Su Dingfang leaned over and whispered, “Who is Qin Mubai? He is more romantic than the heavens! Right now, he has to be hard-mouthed in front of everyone. Perhaps he is already thinking about how to get married to someone else’s girl!”
“Huh?” Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment and rolled her eyes, “Really?”
“Isn’t this because … Chen Yan is here!” Su Dingfang chuckled and said, “Besides, the moment the girl came to his door, he opened his arms and accepted it-wasn’t this’all women can be married ‘?”
“Everyone can be married? There’s still this saying!” Xue Rengui also laughed.
Su Dingfang smiled and said, “Young Admiral, you are already a famous hero. You have to put on airs and do some kung fu, right? Otherwise, it will appear that the Qin Clan’s door is too easy to enter, and the Qin Clan’s wife is too easy to be. At that time, Xue Lian will feel that she is not worth much, right?”
“Is there still such a deep detour?” Xue Rengui’s head almost fainted. He shook his head and said, “When I married Ah Shi Na Xi Yan on the grassland, I didn’t think so much!” … I felt that marrying her wasn’t a bad thing. At the very least, I was able to let more than 10,000 of my brothers survive and have the chance to borrow the army to take revenge for their bloody hatred. To put it bluntly, Huihe and I used each other at that time. “However, Xi Yan is really a good woman. I will not let her down!”
‘”Look at your little bit of success. Sell yourself so cheaply, haha! If it was Qin Mubai, you would definitely have to kidnap something more-or else you wouldn’t understand the young marshal’s thoughts? You’re just too honest!” Su Dingfang laughed even more and said, “Take a look at what kind of women are beside the young marshal. Which one of them is a fuel-efficient lamp?” Let’s talk about Princess Gao Yang. She is a small horse that His Majesty can’t even subdue. How about it? Haven’t you been subdued by the young marshal? As for Xue Lian, Mubai’s attitude was very strange. I vaguely feel that Mubai doesn’t want her to be too high-profile and suppress me. Otherwise, not only will she be passive militarily, she will also be passive when she arrives at home in the future … This Imperial Maiden, just like leading the troops, has to cultivate in addition to her talent! “Obviously, Mubai is amazing in both aspects, haha!”
“Haha! Brother Su is absolutely right! Extremely right!” Xue Rengui couldn’t help but laugh.
Qin Mubai, who was walking in front, was alarmed. He turned around and glared at the two of them, “Why are you two laughing so recklessly and wretchedly?-Let’s go!”
