Qin Mubai finally suppressed the anger in his heart and did not "kill and silence" Yuan Tiangang.
In this big plan, only a few people know the truth: Tantai Dandan, Su Lianqing, Qin Shi, Lu Youhai, and family members in Lanzhou. Even Hou Junji only knew one but not the other.
Qin Mubai is 100% sure that the above people are his true confidants and will strictly keep their secrets. The Tantai sisters and Su Lianqing, everything they had was given by Qin Mubai, and there was no courage or need to betray or betray them again, especially Su Lianqing. Needless to say, Qin Shi, if there is one person in the world who deserves Qin Mubai's trust, that person is not Qin Mubai himself, but "dog slave" Qin Shi. Lu Youhai, he is not in the military or officialdom, and has no contact with anyone. He will only do one thing, and that is to work for Qin Mubai.
Hou Junji, on the surface, it seems that this person is always treacherous and has deep inner affairs in the city. He is like a cunning and cunning lone wolf who is the most untrustworthy. But on the contrary, Qin Mubai felt that he was the most reliable among all generals. The reason is simple. Even the emperor Li Shimin, whom he respected and relied on the most, abandoned him. Only Qin Mubai took him in, promoted him, reused him and trusted him. Did he still have a choice and necessity
It's not that other people are untrustworthy. But the fewer people know the truth, the higher the chance of success for this desperate scheme to deceive the world.
Therefore, Qin Mubai really had murderous intentions towards Yuan Tiangang. Although this is very different from his usual style of life, Qin Mubai does not hesitate to be a poisonous husband because he is very law-abiding!
In this battle, Qin Mubai had already gambled all his money, and he didn't want anything to go wrong!
It was Yuan Tiangang's last words that saved his own life - "I will never see you again in this life."
Qin Mubai thought on the spot, if one day I willingly take off my shirt, give up my military power and no longer care about any military and political matters, will anyone let me go like I let Yuan Tiangang do today
"You and I are in the same boat." Qin Mubai said these words behind Yuan Tiangang and let go of the hand holding the knife.
At that time, Yuan Tiangang turned around, smiled meaningfully at Qin Mubai, picked up his bag, put on his felt hat, and left without looking back.
Qin Mubai knew that from now on, there would never be another person like Yuan Tiangang in the world. Even if there were, he would no longer be able to predict fate.
After daybreak, Qin Mubai, the sheepherder, should go to Dafeichuan to herd sheep and monitor the movements of the Tibetan people. When I walked to the entrance of the village, I was shocked to find that Yuan Tiangang was still standing here.
"Why didn't you leave?" Qin Mubai asked calmly while riding on his horse.
"Young Marshal Qin, fortunately, you still have a trace of innocence and kindness after risking everything, so you are not crazy." Yuan Tiangang still had such a charming smile.
"You're saying that I'm not cruel enough and didn't kill you to silence you to prevent the secret from being leaked, right?" Qin Mubai glanced at him coldly and said.
"I've said it before, there's no harm in committing less evil and accumulating more blessings. Your pure kindness may have brought you great benefits." Yuan Tiangang's expression was still calm and calm. He put his hand on the edge and looked at the sky, and said, "Within seven days, a new wind will rise from the north and heavy snow will fall on the world. By then, Dafeichuan will become a snowy ice field."
"Is this the benefit you gave me?" Qin Mubai frowned slightly, "Can I put it to use?"
"I just chatted with the young marshal about the weather. I don't know anything else." Yuan Tiangang bowed deeply to Qin Mubai, "I would like to ask the young marshal to tell my junior brother that Yuan Tiangang has passed away on a crane and left the mortal world. Your Majesty the Emperor. If you want to ask me again, I will let my junior brother explain it to you like this."
Qin Mubai stared at Yuan Tiangang and nodded gently, "Yuan Tianshi, you are really a master of Taoism with a broad mind. In fact, I know in my heart that you came to me partly because of the emperor's commission. Now I am not only right You are disrespectful and have murderous intentions, but you still admit your righteousness. "
"For the Young Marshal to tell such truth, it is enough to show that he is a kind-hearted person worthy of close friendship." Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "Actually, what I do is not all selfless, but also has a purpose."
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "What does Master Yuan want to get from Qin?"
"My previous derivation came true." Yuan Tiangang smiled mysteriously.
"What deduction?" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Didn't you, the old man, say that you will never meet each other again to derive your fate?"
"Yes, this is the oath I made, and it will definitely not be violated." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile, "But I can definitely wait and see if the previous deductions come true. This does not violate the oath."
"Haha, just sit back and watch!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "I won't ask what the deduction is. Things in the world are unpredictable. Everyone's ending is nothing more than death. Whatever happens in it, let him happen. Go. If you know it in advance, your life will be boring.”
"Young Marshal is indeed a romantic man with great wisdom and big heart." Yuan Tiangang laughed loudly, "If my deduction comes true, I will appear in front of Young Marshal and congratulate him face to face!"
"Congratulations?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be curious for a moment, "Can you tell me what a good thing it is?"
"Haha, the young marshal just said that he didn't want to know." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.
"I suddenly changed my mind again." Qin Mubai laughed so shamelessly, "I'm a very untrustworthy person."
"Secrets have been revealed in succession in the past two days, and I dare not say anything anymore. Besides, I am afraid that this old bone will really be buried in Dafeichuan." Yuan Tiangang shook his head and smiled, "If the young marshal insists on asking, I can only give you a brief reminder - It’s related to Mrs. Ling!”
"Which lady?" Qin Mubai became curious.
"That's what I said! ... Farewell, Marshal Qin!" Yuan Tiangang chuckled, mounted a green-maned snow-hoofed horse, and rode away.
"This old cow's nose is just appetizing!" Qin Mubai curled his lips angrily and said to himself, "Such a peerless master only comes out in thousands of years. If he is killed, he will be gone. Having said that, , even I can kill him. There must be many people in the world who want to kill him. Could Emperor Li Shimin be one of them? Otherwise, why would this old man fake his death and escape? It’s really not good to have too much—I don’t want to think about it anymore, just let my sheep go!”
…
Desires are hard to satisfy, and the human heart is always insatiable. The Tubo soldiers who had just settled down in Dafeichuan and enjoyed two days of comfortable life began to long for the more prosperous and prosperous city of Lanzhou.
There is the largest horse herding prison in Longyou of the Tang Dynasty, which raises countless cattle, sheep and horses; in recent years, business travel on the Silk Road has been extremely active, injecting countless wealth into Lanzhou; the women in the Central Plains are all delicate and tender, how can they be so beautiful? Can a barbarian woman from the plateau with rough skin and thick flesh like an ox be compared
At least 30% of the Tubo soldiers were laughing in their dreams, thinking that they had stepped into the city of Lanzhou and had countless beautiful women at their disposal.
The other 70% didn't smile because they were busy gossiping.
Although Tubo was called a dynasty, it still could not get rid of the bad customs of Hu states - making a living by plundering and fighting to support the country. Their purpose in launching the war is quite clear, which is to plunder resources, wealth and population slaves. It's just that this time their ambitions are a little bigger. They want to completely conquer Helong and set foot on the Central Plains!
After the change of ownership, the Dafeichuan military camp was filled with a fishy smell and the unbridled laughter of the Tubo people all day long. It seems that they have already leveled Lanzhou and pointed their sword at the Central Plains.
Galqin Ling finally felt regretful for his mistake - it was too much and he should not have entered Dafeichuan so early. This will give all soldiers the illusion that they have achieved a complete victory, making them complacent and underestimating the enemy.
But the situation is such that military orders can restrict behavior, but not thoughts. Everyone in Dafeichuan has been discussing all day long when to send troops to attack Lanzhou!
The whole army is eager to fight with unprecedented urgency!
However, Garqinling has been standing still. However, none of the generals under his command could sit still. They were no longer afraid of offending the power of Garqin Ling. They came one after another to invite battle, and all of them wanted to be the vanguard.
The excitement of the crowd and the rise of morale were unprecedented.
Gal Qinling knew that in addition to seeking rewards for meritorious service, they also wanted to be the first to step into Lanzhou City, steal the most gold and jewelry, and enslave the most beautiful women as slaves.
In Tubo, this is understandable and justified!
However, the more eager the generals were to invite battle, the more Gar Qinling felt that this was very dangerous. So they all refused. The whole army was overwhelmed by the Garqin Ling. Everyone is like a hungry wolf with red eyes, jumping up and down in the military camp all day long, unable to live in peace. The generals who led the troops began to criticize the Generalissimo, whom they always regarded as a god. It is said that the marshal has always been domineering and fearless in Congo. Why did he become indecisive and hesitant during this expedition and won battles one after another? …
Gal Qin Ling knows better than anyone else that the first thing a commander must possess is not military strategy, but the ability to convince others. Seeing that his prestige is declining and his image is being damaged, if this continues, all the soldiers will be alienated from him!
But there was still a lingering haze in his heart. Although I have repeatedly sent people to conduct reconnaissance and probing in the past few days, I have also thought about it repeatedly, but in fact I have never found any flaws.
As a result, Gal Qinling himself could not think of any reason to delay sending troops. Originally, it was appropriate to pursue the victory while it was victorious, but he had been delaying this for several days.
Therefore, the Garqin Mausoleum summoned General Wei Ru and Danba Urji who were stationed in Dafeichuan...
Qin Mubai, who had been herding sheep for a few days, already felt that his body was full of sheep smell. Moreover, the weather was getting colder day by day, and he wanted to put on his quilt and go out to herd the sheep.
The further it went on, the more difficult it became... What if the Tibetans wanted to spend the winter in Dafeichuan before invading Lanzhou? Could it be that I had been hiding here to herd sheep? Qin Shi and the others have been staying in Huanyue Valley guarding the explosives, waiting to freeze to death? ... There are many more people who have been left to face their own portraits and spiritual tablets, being heartbroken and crying all day long
…
Qin Mubai felt that he almost couldn't bear it anymore! Every night, while chewing poor wheat cakes and drinking bitter oil tea boiled in muddy water from a chipped earthen porcelain bowl, Qin Mubai would yell at his own shadow - "Qin, if you have the talent, if you can still Man, just hold on! Hold on!"
"Ga'er Qinling is also holding on! Whoever loses patience first, whoever can't resist temptation and torture first, will lose!"
"He can afford to lose, but you can't!"
"Hold on!!!"
…
Finally, on the fourth day, a large number of troops and horses came from the northwest of Dafeichuan; and the 100,000 Tibetan cavalry originally stationed in the Dafeichuan military camp were assembled and ready to go. The large cart pulled by dozens of white-haired yaks that Qin Mubai was familiar with finally drove into the Dafeichuan military camp. The entire military camp was filled with roars and tsunamis, as if the generals were swearing an oath!
"Fuck you | Damn it! Finally something happened!" Qin Mubai was so excited that he uttered this long-lost curse word - gritting his teeth and trembling all over!
"Gaer Qinling, have you ever studied fishing on the plateau? Do you know that the bigger the fish, the more cunning and cautious it is to catch the bait?... I'm not in vain, just wait until you get ashore!!!"
