Looking at the bone necklace hanging around his neck and enjoying the crowd of countless Turks, Bai Song felt in a trance.
Sudden events, sudden identities, no one is prepared at all.
I don't know what he was thinking, but when the heavy necklace was hung around his neck, Bai Song felt dizzy and did not take it off.
This is a rare moment in history when a Han became the leader of a Turkic tribe.
Bai Song tried to use his knowledge that was thousands of years ahead of his time to understand the process of history, but he could not have expected that because he took on such a responsibility today and created a precedent for the era, he had inadvertently started the wheel of history, setting the stage for what would have been impossible in the future.
The obstacles for Han and Turks to live together cleared the way.
"How's it going? Isn't it not bad to be the king of the grassland?" Badu asked with a smile.
Bai Song fiddled with the ornaments on the necklace and hesitated: "You said you let me go, and you said you made me the leader of the clan. I won't be able to control you after I leave."
"It doesn't matter, don't you still have me? I will take care of the affairs of the clan as the acting clan leader."
"Then have you thought about the situation you are facing now?"
Mentioning this, Badu frowned slightly and whispered: "I don't know how to deal with these prisoners now. Now I have completely offended the Jieli tribe. It's such a difficulty, I don't know how to solve it."
Baduo said pitifully, but Bai Song heard the implication from the other person's words.
Bai Song looked at his clan leader's necklace again and said suddenly: "Oh... I understand, you made me the clan leader because you want to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Jieli tribe?"
Baduo did not shy away and nodded seriously: "Yes, otherwise why would I give the clan leader to you. Now that you are the clan leader, you must find a way for your people."
"The inside should be in harmony with the outside." Bai Song simply said four words.
As far as the current war situation is concerned, coordination between inside and outside is an inevitable choice.
But these four words alone are not enough to deal with the current situation, and more specific plans are needed.
Bai Song took out the map he carried with him and spread it out in front of Badu: "The encirclement location is right here."
Badu looked at the map and frowned slightly: "Dingxiang Road... This is where Jieli's headquarters is. Not to mention the dangerous journey, even if we get to Dingxiang, aren't thousands of people in the clan going to die?"
Bai Song smiled confidently: "Don't worry, in two months, General Li Jing of the Tang Army will personally lead a large army to attack this place unexpectedly, and the Jieli tribe must have neglected to take precautions. After this battle, the situation will definitely turn around."
Badu looked at Bai Song blankly, as if he didn't understand. Where did Bai Song get his confidence?
Why do we conclude that the Tang army will surprise Dingxiang Road in two months?
This is the starting point of the war between the two countries. The war started from Dingxiang Road and spread to the states and counties in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Dingxiang Road is the core of the war situation. Anyone with a normal mind knows that Dingxiang must be the core of the deployment of the Turkic garrison, and a large army will inevitably be stationed.
The Tang army made a surprise attack on Dingxiang Road. It would be a lonely army going deep. Judging from the map, it would be a death sentence.
Unless the general of the Tang army had his brain exploded, he would have come up with such an idiotic plan.
Looking at Baduo's eyes, Bai Song knew what he was thinking, and continued: "The Aji tribe's mission is to contain, without any need for direct conflict with any army. This thousand-man team is mainly to disrupt the Jieli tribe's rear.
Behind this is a vast grassland. As long as you are willing to harass and never engage in fighting, even if there is a team of ten thousand people, it will be difficult to surround you. We only need to involve a part of the troops, and the rest will be left to the Tang army."
"If it's just to contain harassment, there won't be any danger to us. But can this approach really work?"
Baduo Ren was worried, but Bai Song couldn't explain it. Could it be that this was what was written in the history books?
At the end of March in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jingshuai led three thousand cavalry troops deep into the enemy's rear and attacked Dingxiang Road overnight, blocking the Turks' supplies. Then Jieli Khan fled to Qikou, which changed the outcome of this battle. Soon after, Jieli Khan
He surrendered voluntarily and was escorted to the capital.
Fortunately, Bai Song had read some history books and knew the process of this battle.
Calculating the time, now is the critical period of the war.
Bai Song didn't want to participate in this battle, but unknowingly he couldn't escape. After he handed over the Aji tribe, he would return to the Tang Dynasty with Shu Wang. If Li Jing didn't plan to attack Dingxiang by surprise, then he would definitely offer his plan, even if
Yes, we must force Li Jing to lead his army deep behind enemy lines.
Bai Song found it difficult to persuade others with just one mouth.
However, if the Tang army is told that a Turkish reinforcement force will appear in Dingxiang, they will cooperate with the outside world. I believe that those with courage will definitely adopt their own opinions.
This was all Bai Song's plan.
It's just that the plans in my heart cannot be told to outsiders, and there is no way to explain them.
Bai Song didn't speak for a long time, but Baduo saw a lot from Bai Song's firm eyes and nodded solemnly: "I understand."
Bai Song sighed: "Anyway, be careful!"
After saying that, just as Bai Song was about to leave, someone suddenly walked out of the crowd and gave Badu a letter.
The letter was all in Turkic language, which Bai Song couldn't understand, but after Batu read it, his expression became more solemn.
"What's wrong?"
"This is a letter of collaboration."
"Collaboration letter?"
"What was found from Balu was a letter from Jieli Khan. It said that he urged the Zheng family of the Tang Dynasty to quickly raise enough salt tribute. If there is another delay, Jieli Khan will make the Zheng family pay the price.
.”
"Raised enough salt? A family named Zheng? Are you sure? There is nothing wrong?"
Seeing Bai Song being so excited, Badu was a little puzzled: "Yes, the Turkic characters are clearly written, so there will be no problem."
"Bring Balu up, I want to ask him personally."
This was an unexpected surprise. Bai Song never expected that the evidence of the Zheng family's treason with the enemy, which he had been searching for to no avail, would come to his door.
After some interrogation, Balu admitted that he would go to Jixian to deliver the letter after settling the matter of the Aji people. He did not expect that a very simple matter would lead to such a situation.
Bai Song immediately decided to take Balu away, as long as he promised to identify the Zheng family, he could be given a way to survive.
Balu did not refuse. If he stayed here, he would definitely die. As long as he could live, what was there to hesitate about?
After everything was taken care of, it was finally time to return.
It all started suddenly and ended very suddenly.
This vast grassland has changed from unfamiliar to familiar. When we say goodbye, looking here again, it is no longer boundless, but there are many more stories in the wind.
Batu saw him off all the way and walked a long way with Bai Song.
A group of people were walking in front, Shu Wang looked back at Bai Song.
Bai Song smiled and waved, indicating that he would come soon.
"After a long journey, I have to say goodbye, so let's end it here."
"You remember, when my people have a new home, no matter where you hide, I will capture you and bring you back to the grassland."
