The military order was like a mountain, Xue Shao could only pack up immediately, and prepare to leave Yudu Jinshan for Shuozhou.

It's a long way to go, and it takes a few days to get up and running. In addition, the situation on the grassland was a little turbulent, Cheng Wuting insisted that Xue Chuyu lead the jumping army to escort all the way back to Shuozhou with Xue Shao.

Cheng Wuting set up a banquet for Xue Shaoyang, and specially invited all the people from the Three Swords Brigade. Xue Shao will definitely return to Chang'an immediately after returning to Shuozhou, and there are still many post-war matters to deal with on the grassland, and the army will not be withdrawn for the time being.

This time, it's really goodbye.

The men who shed blood without tears bid farewell to Xue Shao with tears and agreed that he would fight side by side again in the future. Before leaving, Xue Shao promised them that he would go back to worship when he passed through Yingli Village. It is necessary to tell the news of the victory of the Tang Dynasty to the brothers who are sleeping there and comfort their souls.

Cheng Wuting made a strange decision in private, he asked Cheng Qizhi to accompany Xue Shao, and asked Xue Shao to help him get around with Pei Gong, and allowed Cheng Qizhi to return to Chang'an together. Xue Shao knew that Cheng Wuting's move must have a deep meaning, so he didn't ask much in front of many people, but just agreed.

The group soon set off.

Xue Shao looked back at Yudu Jinshan, which was once one of the most abundant grazing areas on the grassland, but now it has become synonymous with death and murder in the minds of the grassland people, which means blood and horror.

"Only after experiencing war can we know the beauty of peace." Xue Shao said to the people around him, "I hope that there will be no more such things on the grassland!" ”

Xue Chuyu said: "The people of the grassland, like the people of the Central Plains, only hope to live a peaceful life. But their chiefs and chiefs did not think so. ”

"Everyone longs for peace. But history always moves forward in the intertwining of war and peace......" Xue Shao sighed, "Let's go, go to Heisha first!" ”

"By the way, General, what should I do with that grassland princess in Black Sand City?" Xue Chuyu asked.

"I just made a special trip to Heisha for her." Xue Shao said: "This woman's identity is too sensitive and special, and now in this extraordinary period, she must not be allowed to stay in the grassland." I'm going to take her to Shuozhou first, and then make a decision after discussing with Pei Gong! ”

"It's good!"

The group of light soldiers and the road covered with stars and moons hurried, and arrived outside the city of Black Sand a few days later.

When Xue Shao and the others had just appeared, a group of soldiers and horses flashed out in front of them to intercept them, and the number of people was about five hundred. The banner is clear, of course, it is the Don Army stationed in Heisha. But Xue Shao saw no less than fifty Turkic people with high noses and deep eyes in this group of Tang troops, and he couldn't help but be quite surprised in his heart!

When the leading general saw Xue Shao, he hurriedly greeted him, and Xue Shao called him to his side and asked, "How can there be Turks in the Black Sand garrison?" ”

"Xue Changshi doesn't know." The young general replied, "In these days when they were stationed in Heisha, there were often rogues on the grassland who plundered the herdsmen in the pastures and pastures around the black sands, and even more daring rogues actually attacked the black sand and wanted to seize the city. Our army has fought many times, and it is safe to keep the black sand. Later, some herdsmen came to ask for help, and General An Da led some brothers to kill and repel many of the bandits, and captured some of them. Princess Aiyan recognized the Turks among them and asked for their release so that they could return to the rogue to appease them. The guard general originally didn't agree, but he couldn't hinder General An and Princess Ai Yan from taking turns to grind and grind, so he ......"

Xue Shao narrowed his eyes, "And then?" ”

"Not long after, more than 800 Hu people have gathered in Black Sand City, and they all volunteered to follow Ai Yan, joined the Tang Dynasty, and became a member of our army!"

"These Hu soldiers, they were all recruited by Ai Yan?" Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, she didn't expect that she would be able to recruit eight hundred Hu soldiers when Heisha was under house arrest and supervision!

Now the puppet regime of the steppe has been defeated, and there is no leader in the hearts of the steppe people. If Ai Yan is allowed to stay on the grassland, she is really likely to gather thousands of troops by virtue of her bloodline and identity. At that time, if there are careerists who provoke and use it, this will be a huge hidden danger for Datang!

- Ai Yan must not be allowed to stay in the grassland!

"Let's go, enter Black Sand City!"

Xue Shao and his entourage had just walked near the Black Sand City Gate, and they rushed out quickly. The left and right guards reflexively pulled the bow and shouted "Someone is coming, stop", Xue Chuyu recognized it with sharp eyes, and hurriedly stopped.

"It's General Anda!"

The pegasus did not stop, the moon slave jumped up directly from the saddle and volleyed and fell in front of Xue Shao's horse, and then pulled Xue Shao's saddle again, turned over and sat behind Xue Shao with a little light on tiptoe, hugging his waist tightly.

Don't say a word, just hug tightly.

Everyone is used to seeing the moon slave like this, and they all laugh.

Xue Shao patted her hand, and the group rode into the city. Ai Yan also came to greet him, wearing a military uniform like the previous Moon Slave, and a few strong Turkic soldiers with him. Far from being a hostage under house arrest, it looked like a general in charge of the military.

Monkey business!

Xue Shao scolded angrily in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure.

Ai Yan came to greet him with a smile, "Welcome Xue Changshi's triumphant return!" ”

Welcome?

Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, I killed tens of thousands of your clansmen, and you greeted me in triumph?

"Hmm!" Xue Shao dismounted and only responded to this call, without even looking at Ai Yan more, and strode straight towards the military tent in China.

Everyone saw Xue Shao's dissatisfaction, and they couldn't be happy for a while, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.

Wu Ming secretly glared at the moon slave, and then quickly followed Xue Shao and said, "Does the son have any orders?" ”

"Tell the Black Sand Keeper to come and see me!"

"Yes!"

The moon slave couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and didn't dare to touch Xue Shao's brow, so she was full of anxiety.

Ai Yan shook his head and smiled, and said, "Yue Nu, come in and help me." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Take off your uniform."

A moment later, the Black Sand Guard came to see Xue Shao in a hurry. This person's surname is Chen Guanbai, who is the captain of Wupin, and is Cheng Wuting's general and confidant.

"Duwei Chen, why did you let Ai Yan go free, and allowed her to wear a military uniform and lead soldiers by her side?" Xue Shao asked straight to the point.

Although Chen Duwei's official qualities are not much different from Xue Shao, Xue Shao is now a former army marching commander, and he holds the power of life and death in military law, and it is not a problem to cut him a lieutenant according to the law. Therefore, he was a little flustered, and said cautiously: "Xue Changshi, the last general is also out of helplessness!" …… Princess Ai Yan was originally guarded by General Anda, and we generally didn't get close to each other to avoid the suspicion of men and women. Later, there were several incidents of exile, and Ai Yan recruited some Turkic soldiers. In order to appease the emotions of the Turkic soldiers, the last general made an expedient measure to let Ai Yan temporarily lead them. All the while, it's been peaceful......"

"Bastard!" Xue Shao angrily slapped the military case and shouted, "If you are safe for a while, things will be big in the future!" ”

"How, how so?" Chen Duwei panicked.

Xue Shao's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Now the ownerless tribes of the grassland are messy, and there are a lot of stragglers on the grassland. Ai Yan came forward to recruit troops, and this kind of thing will soon spread to ten, ten, and hundreds, and finally make her the spiritual leader in the minds of the grassland people! You still let her lead the troops by her side? Although there were only a few hundred Hu soldiers who submitted to the Tang Dynasty, this example would make it possible to follow in the future, and from then on, the grassland people only recognized their Ashina clan leaders and did not believe in the Tang Dynasty's regime. At that time, if Datang wants to subdue the hearts of the grassland people and rebuild Shan Yu Duwei Mansion, it will definitely be even more difficult and the future troubles will be endless! - What are you guilty of?! ”

"Long history forgiveness!!" Chen Duwei was really panicked at this time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The last general was stupid and didn't think about this, and the last general deserved ten thousand deaths!" ”

"Damn it!!" Xue Shao was furious!

This frightened Xue Chuyu and the others, and they hurriedly came forward to intercede.

"Shut up!" Xue Shao shouted, and the audience was silent.

With a long breath, Xue Shao said: "The matter has come to this point, and it can't be blamed entirely on Duwei Chen." Blame me for thinking about it in advance and not explaining it clearly enough. Besides, Chen Duwei, tell me - is there a moon slave who is actively instigating you, and even relying on my power to force you? ”

"This! ......" Chen Duwei had a bitter face and didn't dare to speak.

Not taking a position is also a statement.

"Abolish our military law with private and public affairs!" Xue Shao slapped the table with a heavy slap in anger, "Come on, tie up the moon slave - don't tie it up, just push it out and cut it for me!" ”

"Ahh All the generals were shocked together, and knelt on the ground together and pleaded for mercy - "Xue Changshi is extrajudicial and gracious!" ”

Only Wu Ming stood, silent, and did not plead.

"Don't go yet!" Xue Shao was furious, "Do you want to disobey the military order and eat my military law?!" ”

At this time, a female voice sounded outside the tent, "No need to tie up, I'm here." ”

The moon slave walked into the tent, his hands tied behind him with ropes on his body, his hair dissolved, and even a "chop" prefix inserted on his back. She walked in with her head down, didn't dare to look up at Xue Shao, and walked directly to the military case and knelt down.

"The moon slave knows that he has committed a crime, and he has come to receive death! Please Xue Changshi! ”

Xue Shao grabbed a handful of chopping sticks and was about to smash them on the ground, Xue Chuyu was in a hurry, jumped up and hugged Xue Shao's arm to prevent him from throwing it down, "Xue Changshi, you can't do it!" ”

"Military orders are like mountains, and those who break the law should die—why not?" Xue Shao was furious and tried to push Xue Chuyu away.

Xue Chuyu held on desperately, and said hurriedly: "Although General An has violated military law, the consequences are not irreversible. In addition, she had previously captured and returned to the battle, and she had a great merit. If you talk about meritorious deeds, the last general's eight-turn strategy will not be as good as General An's! …… Since he is a meritorious person, Xue Changshi might as well bring him back to Chang'an, and ask the imperial court to weigh his merits and demerits and distribute them as appropriate! If you behead General An just like this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers! ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly agreed, "What General Xue said is true, Xue Changshi thinks twice!" ”

"Release!!" Xue Shao let out a loud shout, and Xue Chuyu cautiously let go of his hand.

With a sound of "horn", Xue Shao pressed the chopping sign on the military case, and shouted, "Get out!" ”

Yue Nu was clever at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you for Changshi's grace not to kill!" ”

Then, she still didn't look up to look at Xue Shao, and ran away like a rabbit.

Xue Shao is really angry and funny, this naïve girl who always makes mistakes, has been with Ai Yan for a long time, and she has actually learned to be shrewd and acting?

"Pass me the order!" Xue Shao immediately ordered, "The Jumping Army will not stop, and after an hour, it will immediately start to leave the Black Sands - disperse the eight hundred Turkic soldiers recruited by Ai Yan to the various brigades and teams of the Jumping Army, and do not let them gather in groups to make trouble, and not allow any of them to escape from the army!" ——In addition, let out the wind, just say that Princess Ai Yan has gone to Chang'an and returned to the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Yes!"

Xue Shao secretly sighed at this time, after the battle of Yudu Jinshan, Ai Yan will be the most special person on the grassland. She can be the right-hand man used by Datang to pacify the grassland, or she can be the most dangerous and deadly red face!
