Therefore, it would take time for the messengers to travel back and forth. Qin Mubai ordered the army to leave two days later.

At night, Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui played chess. Both of their chess skills weren’t very exquisite, and Xue Rengui’s heart wasn’t full of holes today.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Forget it. I see that you have a serious look on your face. How do you play chess? If you have anything to say, just say it!”

Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly, put away the chessboard and poured tea for the two of them, and said, “Mubai, to be honest, I feel that what you did this time makes me feel a little strange.”

“What do you mean?”

‘”Since Rengui has come to surrender, why don’t we accept it? Isn’t the time we lack the most right now?” Xue Ni Shuchuo said. “There’s still the matter of Kang Country and Arabia in the distance, so we need to deal with it urgently.”

“You’re right, we’re in a hurry. But if we make the wrong decision now, it might take ten to twenty years or more to deal with the loopholes we left behind today. I’d rather wait two more days than that. These two days are worth it.” Qin Mubai said, “Ni Shuchuo said he was surrendering, but that’s just his mouth, not his heart. Subduing an unconvincing enemy and staying by his side will not only be of no benefit, but will also become a huge hidden danger.”

Xue Rengui frowned. “Isn’t this how it used to be? If the enemy surrenders, then my Great Tang will definitely surrender.”

“As a result, there are a lot of capricious small countries. Today, tomorrow will be the opposite, and we will not be tired of it. It will be a great disaster!” Said Qin Mubai. “To be honest, I’d rather fight to the death with enemies like Gaer Qinling than quarrel at the negotiating table all the time. You should be familiar with the scene before us now. Back then, when my army was stationed in Da Fei Chuan and was preparing to advance towards Luo Xi City, Qi Zong and Nong Zan surrendered just like Gaer Qinling. At that time, I put forward a few rather harsh conditions to the Tibetans to accept their surrender. In fact, I rejected their request for surrender. “Now that Tibet has calmed down, can you think of the reason why I did this?”

Xue Rengui fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said, “Perhaps I understand something.”

“Tell me?”

Xue Rengui said, “Just like what you said, the Tibetans were forced to surrender because they were reluctant to delay their troops. What they needed was a period of time to catch their breath. Once they recovered their Yuan Qi, they would forget about surrendering and immediately turn against me.”

“That’s right.” Qin Mubai nodded and said, “That was how I explained to the Prince of Wu. I also gave him an example. It was like a fight between two naughty children. Party A was defeated by Party B and crushed to the ground, so he immediately begged for mercy and admitted defeat. When Party B lets him get up, Naughty Child A may not wait for the dirt on his body to be cleaned, and will take advantage of Party B’s carelessness to relax and throw him to the ground. This was human nature. No matter who was bullied, they would hold grudges and seek revenge. In this world, there were no true sages, let alone sage politicians and sage generals. The people who are plotting against the country and the army are not naughty children fighting. If you don’t pay attention, you will die! That is why I have always advocated that we should either not make a move, but if we do, we should deal a thorough blow to the enemy and ruthlessly annihilate them! ”

Xue Rengui listened very seriously, but when he heard the word’destruction ‘, his expression was clearly stunned.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “The destruction I am talking about is not pure slaughter and destruction, but the destruction of their fighting spirit and confidence from the bottom of their hearts, so that even their desire for revenge no longer exists!”-For example, the current Duke Guiren abandoned his sect and praised him! He definitely will not dream of returning to the plateau to rebuild his Tibetan dynasty! ”

“Then Ni Shuchuo is just a general. Why don’t you accept his surrender?” ‘”If we surrender, wouldn’t we be able to neutralize most of the Norland’s power and create an excellent environment for conquering them?” Xue Rengui asked.

“On the contrary, if I accept Ni Shuchuo’s surrender alone, it will make it infinitely more difficult for us to calm down Norland!” Qin Mubai said, “Pay attention, it’s Ni Shuchuo’s’surrender by himself ‘!”

‘”Alone?” Xue Rengui was instantly at a loss.

“That’s right.” Qin Mubai knitted his eyebrows and said sullenly, “Ni Shuchuo, you seem to have figured out what I’m thinking. You think I’m here to avenge my father?” Moreover, he definitely believes that as the marshal of the Norland, since he has personally surrendered to our army, I will definitely let Norland off so as to appease the other generals and soldiers, including their Khan. From the Turkic point of view, Ni Shuchuo was quite impressive. He wanted to sacrifice himself to preserve Norland’s strength. In his opinion, if our Great Tang wants to dominate the Western Regions, the first thing we need to defeat is Norland. However, since we are outsiders, we will definitely not be able to completely eliminate Norland. In that case, they could only join forces with Norland and at most accept him as a Tibetan kingdom. In this way, they would be able to gain breathing space and preserve all their strength, waiting for their comeback. At that time, all we have done today will be in vain, except to show off our prestige. Listen, Rengui, you’d rather go all out with your enemies than hide behind a sinister enemy with a smile but hatred for you! “The latter is ten thousand times more dangerous than the former!”

‘”I understand” Xue Rengui heaved a long sigh of relief. “Thinking carefully, this is indeed the case. I’ve always heard Bob and the others say how amazing and arrogant Ni Shuchuo is. But this time, it was suddenly so abnormal. It turned out that there was such a profound plan and intention! He even dared to use his own life to exchange for what Norland needed! If Gaer Qinling was the hero of the plateau, then Ni Shuchuo was the hero of the desert! “The two of them have the same profound strategy and astonishing courage!”

“Compared to Gaer Qinling, Ni Shuchuo’s ability to use troops is a bit weaker, but his ability to conquer the country may be a bit stronger.” The corner of Qin Mubai’s mouth twitched slightly and he said, “But … he’s really old. It’s time for him to rest!”

Xue Rengui smiled and said, “Anyway, I think they are inferior to you!”

“Haha, you flatter me too much!” Qin Mubai laughed and said, “Rengui, guess what, will Ni Shuchuo agree to the three conditions I put forward?”

‘”I don’t think so” Xue Rengui thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t the abandoned sect not agree to your conditions when they praised Gaer Qinling?”

Qin Mubai grinned, “Then what are you waiting for, a vanguard general?”

“Yes!-I’ll set off at once, one step ahead!”

“Let Zhao Tong lead the Fire God and bring twenty Divine Martial Cannons with you.” Qin Mu’s eyebrows sank. “Not only must we win the first battle of the Western Regions, we must also win beautifully!”

“Yes!”

Xue Rengui strode away.

Qin Mubai moved the chessboard back to the table. He placed a black piece between his right index finger and middle finger and pressed it on the chessboard with a “horn” sound.

“Seal!”

A smile appeared on his face.

“Ni Shuchuo, do you think of me as a three-year-old child, playing such a trick on me?” Qin Mubai sneered and said to himself, “You think I’m only thinking about killing my father at this time, don’t you?” If it’s just to kill you, I’ll send two assassins! You underestimate me, you underestimate my father. I know my father died at your hands, but you’re not my real enemy. This isn’t a personal grudge between us. “You are at most a small runner, not as good as Gaer Qinling.”

“My true enemies are Tibet, Norland, and even the Western Regions, which are enemies of the Great Tang!”

“I will not tolerate true enemies!!”

After Xue Rengui finished his preparations, he brought all his firearms with him and stood at the edge of the Suihe River Bridge in full clothes, waiting for the messenger to return.

In the evening, the messenger’s carriage returned. Xue Rengui immediately asked on the bridge, “What’s the result?”

The messenger did not say anything, only revealing his head from the carriage, his face covered in blood. Xue Rengui took a closer look and saw that one of his ears had been cut off!

“That’s outrageous!-As expected of the young marshal, Norland has no sincerity to surrender at all!” Xue Rengui was furious as he waved his hand at the Heavenly Painting Halberd and said, “Let’s go! Stomp down Bow Moon City!”

Inside the tooth tent, the messenger clasped his fists and stood in the middle, reporting to Qin Mubai the details of the trip to Bow Moon City.

Simply put, even the Norland people were mad and enraged. All the generals had to kill the Kansai army envoys to vent their anger and fight to the death. But Ni Shuchuo said that the two armies would not kill each other, so he cut off one of his ears and fed it to the hound, then released him back to humiliate Qin Mubai.

“Major Marshal, General Mo hasn’t lost his military might, nor has he damaged his national prestige!” The messenger cupped his fists and said, “When they cut the ears of the general, not only did the general not struggle, he even stood up and let them cut his eyelids without blinking. As the general cut his eyelids, he said to Ni Shuchuo, ‘One day, Major Marshal will carry his head and pay his respects to our old marshal of Guanxi Army!'”

“You have guts!” Qin Mubai burst out these two words between his teeth. He got up and walked to his side, patted his shoulder twice and said, “Go down and treat your injuries!–If that day comes, I will let you personally operate the knife and kill Ni Shuchuo!”

“Thank you, Major Marshal!” The messenger punched heavily and strode away with his head held high.

Bo Bu relied on his diligence and the civil servants and generals of the Southern Court, all of them paled in horror and respect.

“Guanxi Army … is really an extraordinary martial artist! A small marching school with a humble official position can be so generous and imposing!”

Qin Mubai took a deep breath and let out a long breath. He suddenly shouted, “Order-Guanxi Army’s entire army to move out. Capture Bow Moon City for me within five days!”

General Yuwen Hongtai and the others under him were already in a hurry and agreed loudly.

“Qin Major Marshal, wait!” Bo Bu hurriedly stood up and walked to Qin Mubai’s side. He also beckoned for a general and said to Qin Mubai, “Qin Major Marshal, this is Hu Luwu, the leader of the Hu Lu Tribe. He was injured in the battle, so he came to pay his respects to Major Marshal today.”

“Greetings, Qin Major Marshal!” Hu Luwu hurriedly greeted him with a bit of fear.

“That’s true.” Bo Bu said, “Recently, General Hu Luwu and I have cleaned up the remnants of the army and gathered around 100,000 troops. It’s a pity that there are less than half of our twenty to thirty allied forces left … I’ve discussed with General Hu Luwu that we are willing to hand over the 100,000 troops to Major Marshal, and we will do our utmost for Major Marshal from now on.”

“At the end of the day, I’m willing to lead a horse pendant for Major Marshal!” Hu Lu’s house fell to the ground.

Qin Mubai smiled and helped Hu Luwu up. He cupped his hands and bowed to Bo Bu Qin, saying, “In this extraordinary time, I won’t say anything to Khan and the leader to evade politeness.” After all of you have left behind your troops to defend the city, the rest of you have the right to join forces with me and be under my unified command! –Today, we will attack Bow Moon City together! ”

“I am willing to listen to orders!”

“Immediately-let’s go!!!”
