Hou Junji's expression changed after hearing this, and he quickly explained: "Master Bai, you can't say this nonsense..."
Bai Song interrupted directly: "What's the harm in talking about it? Now that I've said it, even if it reaches Chang'an, I still don't know what the situation is. The merits and demerits are no longer something that you and I can explain clearly. Instead of covering up, it's better to be honest. We are all smart people, and we also know that we will not be affected by the differences before us, right?"
When Hou Junji heard this, he guessed that Bai Song had already recognized it, and even if he didn't admit it, it would be useless.
Gritting his teeth, Hou Junji fortunately agreed: "Yes! I personally supervised the construction of these mines in order to dig out silver and gold from the mountains! Since Mr. Bai wants to hear it, let me explain it clearly. clear!"
Bai Song narrowed his eyes slightly. He guessed that these mines were related to Hou Junji, but he did not expect that Hou Junji personally supervised their construction in order to mine gold and silver mines, and under the nose of the Tubo Kingdom.
The reason is self-evident.
"Is this the condition you discussed with Tubo to call the Shenwu Cannon?"
"This is just one of them." Hou Junji said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows the importance of the Shenwu Cannon. Naturally, it will not be handed over to others so easily."
"Ha. So, you are still far-sighted and have prepared in advance?" Bai Song's eyes were not kind. Even though he knew that he could not make up for his anger now, he still couldn't help but feel emotional. He wished he could give Hou Junji a big blow on the spot. hand.
In the end, Bai Song held back. He still had more doubts in his heart, and then asked: "Since I personally delivered the Shenwu Cannon, why did I bother to go on an expedition now? Since I chose to open the country, why not just let it go?" ?I looked at this area, and it is indeed a good place to garrison troops. It can be seen that you did not commit any rebellious behavior during the entire war."
"It was not my original intention to hand over the Shenwu Cannon." Hou Junji said in a deep voice, "Everyone has his own ambitions. Although I am greedy for the top of power, I also understand the justice of my family and country. When Princess Danyang betrayed the Shenwu Cannon, I deliberately stopped her. , but in the end it was unsuccessful. At that time, I also thought that even if the Tubo Kingdom obtained the Shenwu Cannon, it would not necessarily cause too much trouble. Unexpectedly, the result was far beyond my expectation. After the Tubo Kingdom obtained the Shenwu Cannon, it became as powerful as a tiger. It is almost out of control. If I have any selfish intentions at this time, Datang will inevitably fall into a situation of eternal disaster. It will be useless even if Chang'an has a final outcome by then, as the country of Datang has long been divided up by foreign races. "
Bai Song nodded, and the resentment in his heart eased slightly: "If you think so, I can settle the past grievances here. Now there is only one main task, which is to clean up the barbarians from the Tubo Kingdom. As for the situation in Chang'an, then let it be fate. Bar."
Hou Junji had the same idea and nodded: "That's natural. Not only do we have to fight back the barbarians in Tubo, we also have to hit their lair and make them afraid to come out!"
Bai Song nodded, looked at the cliff above his head, and asked, "Is there really a trail to go up here?"
"Yes." Hou Junji said seriously, "The trails here were dug by our people when they were digging the mines. Even the local residents of the Tubo Kingdom don't know about it. Sooner or later, we will select an elite team to go around to the rear of the Tubo Kingdom. That’s a surprise attack from heaven, and they will definitely be in disarray.”
"General Hou has been prepared for this, right?"
Hou Junji was quite proud: "Of course we have to be prepared for the disaster we have caused. But we can't divide our forces and sneak in now. The enemy will definitely launch an encirclement and suppression in the near future. We can only survive this encirclement and suppression. Otherwise we can The garrison was lost and we went deep into the enemy's hinterland, and we were truly a lone army."
"Since General Hou has already made plans, do you already have a plan in mind to hold on?"
Hou Junji glanced at Bai Song and asked tentatively: "If the general trusts me, how about giving me full authority to execute the deployment of this battle?"
Bai Song nodded happily.
Hou Junji was greatly surprised to see Bai Song so free and easy. He looked at Bai Song deeply and said nothing.
Bai Song returned to the resting tent.
Inside was the only three women in the army, and finally there was something familiar to Bai Song. He suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted and needed a woman to comfort him.
Seeing Bai Song come back, Shu Wang asked, "Didn't my husband go to deploy? Why did he come back so soon?"
"I have left the deployment to Hou Junji, so I rarely take any time off, so I will come back and rest as soon as possible."
Shu Wang frowned and lowered his voice and said, "I can't trust Hou Junji. My husband is better to make arrangements by himself."
Bai Song said with a smile: "She is indeed the daughter of a general. After so many years, the eldest lady's sense of smell is still so sharp."
"Mr. Sir, what time has it been? You still have the heart to joke. We are in a dangerous situation. If we make any wrong move, we may be doomed!"
Bai Song looked at Shu Wang, looked at this familiar face, subconsciously recalled the past, and then asked softly: "Shu Wang, are you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Shu Wang sneered, "Oh, it was a hundred times more dangerous than this on the grassland, and I was never afraid. Now, am I still afraid?"
Bai Song smiled: "Were you not afraid in the grassland back then? I remember someone crying and asking me to save her."
When he talked about that time, Shu Wang's face turned red and he shyly threw himself into Bai Song's arms: "Mr. sir, don't make fun of me."
"Okay, okay, no more teasing, but having said that, today's scene is like a reappearance of what happened back then, which makes people feel nostalgic."
"Um."
Shu Wang responded softly, recalling those years with sweetness.
Bai Song hugged Shu Wang and stretched out his other hand towards the princess.
The princess hesitated for a moment, then moved into Bai Song's arms, and whispered: "Husband, in the military camp, it is not good to talk too much about children's personal affairs."
Bai Song ignored him and asked, "Xiang Nan, are you afraid?"
After hearing this, Xiang Nan calmly shook his head and said, "Not only are I not afraid, but I am looking forward to it."
"expect?"
"Yes, every time I hear Sister Shu Wang talk about the various deeds she and her husband had in those days, I will yearn for it. Although we are both husband and wife, I rarely share the same hardships with my husband. Today, my husband has such a With this experience, I can show off to my sisters when I get back, and most of them will be secretly envious."
"You said some witty words on purpose to make people relax, didn't you?"
Shu Wang smiled sweetly and asked again: "Husband, my sister and I have always had problems that we can't figure out, and we want your husband to help us."
"what is the problem?"
"Why did my husband choose to take my sister and me with him? What are the different intentions in this?"
"This is not simple. During the expedition, an old man will inevitably be lonely. Why not let the two ladies help my husband with his physiological needs, such as now...hehe..." Bai Song smiled evilly.
