The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Walking on the boundless grasslands and enjoying the occasional cool breeze, you will feel that all this is the most beautiful gift of nature.

It is no wonder that the peoples of the steppe believe in immortality and believe that everything is a godsend.

On the way back from the march, Chen Fei looked left and right, and when Hou Junji was no longer nearby, he secretly rode his horse and followed Li Ji, deliberately lowered his voice, and said like a thief: "General, the prisoner brought by General Hou ......."

"It's like you didn't see anything." Li Ji said expressionlessly.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Li Ji meant-this is to protect Hou Junji! Is it so blatant? He always thought that Li Ji was an honest and honest official.

"It's incredible, isn't it?"

Chen Fei smiled bitterly: "It's not, it's just a little accident." ”

"Oh?" Li Ji suddenly became interested, "Why the accident?" Let's talk about it. ”

"When did General Accident have such a good relationship with General Hou, and he dared to bear such a big crime for him."

Li Ji was stunned, and then laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, tears came out of his eyes, and his crazy appearance made Chen Fei confused.

Laughing enough, Li Ji wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, looked at Chen Fei and said unhurriedly: "Chen Fei, how long have you been in the court?" ”

"Uh... Survive for three years. ”

"It's been three years... Time is not short....... It can be seen that you still know a little bit about the laws of our Datang, indeed, it is a big crime to kill a prisoner privately, but... Do you think that's what is written on the law? Li Ji winked at him.

Chen Fei was stunned, and seemed to understand what Li Ji meant.

"Hehe, those so-called laws are just for the purpose of gathering people's hearts. There is a rule in the Law that you shall not kill a captive. This is all for those small countries to see, but it is just to make them feel a little safe, but it is not as strict as you think. To be precise, as long as the old man can win the battle, no one will say anything even if he takes someone to slaughter the city, these are all acquiesced by His Majesty! ”

Acquiescing? This....... Old man, you're thinking a little too much, aren't you? After knowing some of the history of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Fei still knows a little, the slaughter of the city and the torture and killing of prisoners, if it is not put on the surface, it is fine, but if it is put in the court and stabbed out, I am afraid that things will make a big fuss, and it will be difficult to end at that time.

Li Ji didn't take it to heart so much, but he was afraid that he had done many similar things himself, so he got used to it, so he didn't care.

Seeing that Chen Fei was still a little unnatural, Li Ji laughed and slapped him on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, don't worry, as long as you don't say it, I won't say it, and General Hou won't say it, who will know?" Isn't it wonderful that everyone pretends that nothing has happened? ”

Chen Fei still hesitated, he was relatively timid, he had never done anything like that, and his heart was weak.

Li Ji just couldn't get used to Chen Fei's timid and fearful appearance, and raised his hand to stick a big potsticker on the back of his head.

"Stinky boy, you can do whatever you want to do, what do you want to do? Hum! Unable to say boo to a goose! ”

Chen Fei...... I'm just representing justice, who am I provoking whom?

Li Ji and the other generals were silent about the matter of the Jiegu Tribe, Chen Fei naturally didn't want to say anything, he couldn't risk offending so many generals to speak for someone who had nothing to do with him, right?

What's more, the Bone Tribe is a foreign race, and it doesn't have much to do with itself, so if he offended a group of powerful generals for them, he Chen Fei had never been kicked in his head.

He only needs to know Li Ji's attitude, as for being poked out in the future, will His Majesty blame him...... Anyway, there is Li Jihou Junji carrying it above, and it has nothing to do with his small staff general.

Thinking about it like this, Chen Fei was relieved, not only relieved, but also felt that he was laxative, unobstructed to the end, and there was no pressure.......

Two days later, the bone-forming man who exposed Hou Junji was taken to all the bone-forming captives for inciting a rebellion and killed on the spot.

Killing chickens and monkeys, the remaining bones seemed to know their fate, and they didn't dare to say more, and they remained silent. As the Tang army walked towards the south, there was no more unusual sound.

On the way back, passing through many herdsmen tribes, when they saw the captured knotted people, and heard the news of the defeat of the Western Turks, they had a little more respect for the Tang Dynasty, undoubtedly, now they have a much friendlier attitude towards the Tang people, and in the face of the strong military strength of the Tang army, they dare not have the action of provoking fire.

Many people even believe that there are many benefits to being a part of Datang, and their lives have changed dramatically in just a few months.

In the past, there was no wheat to eat and no iron to use, but since the establishment of the castle in the Hokutei Prefecture, they can exchange it for spirits, for wheat and rice, for food, for clothes, and many other daily necessities. This was completely unimaginable under the rule of Xue Yantuo before.

The stronger this feeling is, the more they can't do without Datang, and there were originally many herdsmen who had the idea of "making a comeback", but now, ....... The fire in my heart was extinguished unconsciously.

In fact... It's good to live in peace and stability like this.

This is the voice of many herdsmen, and almost all of this voice is written on the faces of the herdsmen, and Chen Fei can feel their happiness and obedience from the bottom of his heart.

"In less than two years, the Beiting Protectorate will be able to completely return to its heart, and the north of the Tang Dynasty will be truly settled." Chen Fei looked at all this with an inexplicable expectation.

And there is a less mature idea brewing in his mind - should he propose to His Majesty to develop an economy with local characteristics?

For example, the north is rich in cattle, sheep and horses, and the south is rich in rice and grain, and the economic products of the two places can complement each other, so that not only the problem of shortage of goods in various places is solved, but also the overall economy of the country can reach a new level!

It's just that this idea is just Chen Fei's crooked idea in his stomach, and it takes a lot of money to take action, and it is also very difficult to operate, and the details still need to be carefully scrutinized.

Looking at Li Ji again, the mood seems to be good, although the division of troops almost led to a disadvantage in this war, but the Tang army still achieved good results, driving away the Western Turks, not to mention, fighting the bones, and subduing the bones and tribes without spending a single soldier, it can also be said that it is a lot of merits. It is more than enough to offset the crime of "underestimating the enemy's rash advance", and if you don't do it well, you can still make a lot of credit.

The happiest is Hu Di, who has been thinking about how much credit he has earned in this battle along the way, and Le's eyes can't see it.

But what they didn't expect was that the Khan of the Bone Tribe had already taken his own guards through the vast grassland, and with a body of resentment, he set foot on the realm of the Tang Pass!

During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls~
