Hu Ma hissed the wind, the Han flag turned over the snow, the clouds vomited again, and a rod was left behind. The ancient trees are empty, the mountains are innumerable, and the sand and grass are exhausted

Outside the city of Lanzhou, there is a reckless sky, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sky is lonely and empty.

The whole city is sandwiched between the north and south mountains, the Yellow River flows surging in the north of the city, the Baita Mountain on the north bank is towering and undulating, the suburbs of the city are knotted, and there is the tendency of arching the golden city. There is a white pagoda on it, which was originally built to commemorate a Tibetan Sakya lama who went to Mongolia to meet Genghis Khan and died of illness in Lanzhou.

The average annual temperature here is only about 10 degrees, and it is already autumn in August. Especially at dusk, the temperature drops sharply, and the frost is cold, like a knife.

At this moment, at the foot of Baita Mountain, the 30,000 Heshuo army had just collected its troops and returned to the camp, and the horn and horn of Wuwu were still echoing in the vast world. The camp is divided into points, and the camp is ten miles.

Today's battle was not very fierce, and the Heshute soldiers in the large camp took matters into their own hands and lit piles of bonfires to prepare roast beef and mutton.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gushi Khan is entrenched on a tiger skin chair, and his real name is Tulu Baihu. Strong figure, has always been known for his bravery, his face is stiff, although he is in his fifties, he still gives people a feeling of eagle and wolf, murderous spirit.

The two women used a knife to cut the fragrant mutton into small pieces and sent it to Gushi Khan, he ate a piece, and poured a bowl of spirits into it, and then asked Su De, who was the next head, "Su De, you said that with thistle, you will definitely be able to quickly capture Lanzhou City, and now half a month has passed, what do you say?" ”

Sude means excellent in Mongolian. He was in his forties, and he was the most relied on adviser of Gushi Khan, with a thin figure and a white face and few beards.

Sitting opposite Sude was the first fierce general of Gushi Khan, Suzhle Hoke, who had the same meaning as his name, and was very powerful. Majestic as a lion. He also said: "The Great Khan is right, if it drags on like this, the soldiers will be dragged into tired soldiers. ”

Sud said confidently: "Great Khan. In a hurry, Lanzhou is like a sturdy tiger, and Hezhou, Lintao, Zhuanglang, Minzhou and other places are like the woods where the tiger hides. Tigers hide in the woods, and those who pounce recklessly are easily injured. If you cut down the woods where the tiger is hiding first, the tiger will be easy to deal with. ”

Su Rile and Ke blurted out: "Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, well, it makes some sense." ”

Su De had just picked up the wine and drank it, when he heard what Su Rile and Ke said. I didn't catch my breath, I choked on the wine, and I coughed sharply.

Gushi Khan glared at Su Rile and Ke dissatisfiedly, and Su Rile and Ke didn't realize that he had said the wrong thing, and asked a little blankly: "Su De, don't you mean this, where did I say it wrong?" ”

Seeing that he had also pulled himself in, Su De hurriedly said: "Great Khan, now Chitate has led his army into the Hetao. The Qin army must take care of one and lose the other, even if it sends reinforcements, it is impossible to send too many, and we just take advantage of this opportunity. Vigorously cut off the outer state capitals of Lanzhou, and finally turned Lanzhou into an isolated city, when the Great Khan could take the city without much effort. Isn't it better to pay a lot of casualties to attack now? ”

"Makes sense, too." Gushi Khan looked at the twilight outside the tent and said, "Then let Chitat make trouble in the Hetao for a while." ”

Sud added: "Great Khan. I mean, Lanzhou can be attacked slowly, but the state capitals on the periphery of Lanzhou must be uprooted as much as possible. Otherwise, as soon as the offensive on our side is loosened, the Qin State will be able to mobilize troops to quickly annihilate Chitate. Great Khan, having Chitaat in the Hetao is very beneficial to us, and we should not let the Qin army pacify the Hetao. ”

Gushi Khan said: "In this case, there is no need to leave so many men and horses on the Lanzhou side, and allocate another 10,000 soldiers and horses to Narisong, so that he can quickly capture Lintao, Gongchang, and Taozhou." ”

"Great Khan, that's exactly what I mean, we have to increase our offensive, first, to capture more state capitals, and secondly, to form a flanking attack with Quitat Guanzhong, so that the Qin State will lose one and the other."

"Okay, let's do as Suder says."

Unlike the cold night wind outside Lanzhou City, August in Chang'an City is still very hot, Qin Mu returned to the back court and felt a little irritable, and after bathing, he went to take a walk in the imperial garden.

He walked by the Taiye Pond with his hands in his hands, and there were three mountains in the pool: Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou. This form of "one pond and three mountains" began with Qin Shi Huang and became an example of the construction of ponds and mountains in the palace in later generations.

There are also several beautiful water pavilions on the pond, and there are nine curved covered bridges connecting the water pavilions and the shore pool.

Qin Mu stepped on the Jiuqu Covered Bridge, but he didn't come to find a secluded victory.

It was very difficult for Great Qin to attack Qinghai-Tibet, and now that Gushi Khan had gone down to Lanzhou, although it posed a huge threat to Guanzhong and Sichuan, there were always good opportunities in the crisis.

If Gushi Khan can be trapped and his tens of thousands of horses can be annihilated in the Lanzhou area, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will not be attacked.

It's just that in this world, no one who can become a hegemon is a fool, so how easy is it to trap Gushi Khan?

Qin Mu discussed with Sima An, Gu Junen and others in the Wuying Hall for an afternoon, but still couldn't come up with a foolproof plan.

This matter is related to the safety of Longyou, Sichuan, and Hexi, Qin Mu can't let go of it in his heart, and he can't help but think about countermeasures alone.

When he walked on the covered bridge, he heard a soft chant from the water pavilion: "Qionghua moved into the Daming Palace, and the beautiful fragrance rhymed the evening breeze." Win the king's stay, and the jade flute is bright in the moon. ”

Qin Mu looked up, there were several palace lamps hanging in the sparkling water pavilion, and two palace beauties stood leaning on the railing, looking like Lingbo fairies. It was Dong Xiaowan who was chanting poetry, and Li Zhiyin was next to him.

Qin Mu subconsciously stopped in the shadow of the covered bridge, wanting to hear what they were talking about?

Li Zhiyin seemed a little shy, she sighed lightly and said, "Sister Dong has won the award, how can I compare with the concubine of the previous dynasty." ”

When Qin Mu heard this, he probably knew what they were talking about. Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of Korean concubines, among which there were titles such as Concubine Quan, Concubine Shun Ren, Zhaoyi Li, Jieyu Lu, and the beauty Cui Shi, all of whom were entered by the Korean king Li Fangyuan, among which the Kwon family was the most gorgeous, good at blowing the jade flute, the most favored, and when Yongle was captured, he was still with him.

Dong Xiaowan probably compared Li Zhiyin with the Quan family, and it was because of her that she said this modestly.

Qin Mu smiled secretly when he heard this, in fact, Li Zhiyin's jade flute was also good, he took a step and walked towards the water pavilion, Dong Xiaowan and the others found out that he was coming, and the two hurriedly took a picture: "The concubine pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”

"Get up, it's cool here, Xiao Wan takes the piano and plays a song for me." Qin Mu is upset about Lanzhou's affairs, and he has no good plan, this water breeze is also cool, listen to the piano to relieve his nerves.

The palace maid quickly took the piano table, the piano stool, the incense case, the smoker and other things, and took a pot of wine, seven or eight kinds of wine and snacks, Li Zhiyin accompanied the stone table, adding fragrance to Qin Mu's wine.

Dong Xiaowan sat down at the back of the piano table and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what tune do you want to listen to?" ”

Qin Mu leaned back in his chair, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Let's play a song of Yueren." ”

Dong Xiaowan, who was delicate, saw that the emperor was troubled, so he didn't say much, and with a light touch of his jade fingers, a wisp of piano sound floated on the water, the palace lights were soft, the night was like a promise, and the sound of the piano was soothing and distant, elegant and ethereal. Dong Xiaowan sang softly with the piano:

Tonight, the boat is in the middle of the stream.

Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.

Shame is good, not shameful.

The heart was annoyed and unstoppable, and learned that the prince.

The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king.

A Qin song has gone through two or three thousand years from the Spring and Autumn Period, floating on the Taiye Pool, Qin Mu, who closed his eyes slightly, seemed to see a girl playing double pulp, or a ripple, the song sang about love, the eyes were full of hope, and there was a trace of humility in his heart.

The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king. These two lines sing the deepest loneliness between people

Qin Mu suddenly regretted that he didn't bring Qiao'er, her bright eyes were the first pair of eyes full of kindness, hope, and humility he saw when he came to this world.

Perhaps unconsciously, he has subconsciously regarded those bright eyes as a spiritual passage to the original world.

Therefore, he has always felt that Qiao'er is irreplaceable by others. No matter how many women there are around him, Qiao'er always occupies the softest corner of his heart

The softest corner? By the way, where is the softest corner of Gushi Khan Tulubaih?
