"General Cheng, there is something I don't understand. Why do our troops have to go deep behind enemy lines despite having achieved a great victory? And the general went there in person?" In the military tent, Bai Song finally asked what he had hidden deep in his heart.
Cheng Yaojin looked around and suddenly sighed: "Since you came from the depths of Bashu, you should know some things."
"Deep in Bashu..." Bai Song was slightly startled, then whispered, "New Tang?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded calmly.
Bai Song originally thought that New Tang Dynasty was a secret that had not been exposed, but now it seems that it is not as mysterious as imagined, so he tentatively asked: "Does the emperor know?"
Cheng Yaojin laughed: "In this huge world, the emperor is indeed incapable of understanding world affairs, but if rebels with evil intentions like Xintang don't know, how can they hold the world firmly?"
As he spoke, Cheng Yaojin lowered his voice: "In fact, the emperor knew early on that the rebellion of the Tuyuhun Khanate was related to the New Tang Dynasty. Without the encouragement and promotion of the New Tang Dynasty behind the scenes, the Tuyuhun Khanate would not have dared to openly rebel against the Tang Dynasty even if it had the courage.
Li Jing went deep into the enemy's rear to find out the people of the New Tang Dynasty. The purpose of sending the masters of the secret edict was the same. After all, this was a private matter and it was not easy to solve it openly. The surrender letter of the Tuyuhun Khanate,
The emperor has to agree, but he wants to use the remaining time to catch some people out. That’s why you need to continue to go deep as support."
Bai Song nodded. It turns out that everything is related to the New Tang Dynasty. No wonder he met the Miao wizard on the grassland, as well as the crossbow and the half-finished Shenwu cannon. With the participation of the New Tang Dynasty, everything became reasonable.
The New Tang Dynasty was an unbroken line when Bai Song was in Shuzhong. The crossbows and divine cannons were all variables left by him. Now asking him to go deep into the Tuyuhun Khanate to investigate the New Tang Dynasty seemed to be something he had to do.
"In that case, I will take my people to visit the Tuyuhun Khanate."
There was not much time left for the Bai Song Dynasty. He had to leave the capital of the Tuyuhun Khanate before the imperial court's approval of the Tuyuhun Khanate's surrender came back.
Because once surrendered, the Tang army that entered the grassland would have to evacuate. If they could not leave at that time, they might be strangled by the Tuyuhun Khanate army. Without external support, it would be very dangerous.
Even if they died, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to interfere with them, because their trip was carried out in secret and spreading it would harm the face of the Tang Dynasty.
Bai Song returned to his camp and gathered everyone to get ready and set off.
Bai Song did not hesitate at all. After experiencing this, he gained confidence.
At the same time, I also miss my family a little and want to end it all as soon as possible and return to Chang'an peacefully.
At this moment, Bai Song really didn't want to see another war.
For the first time in three years, Bai Song felt so urgent and wanted to do something for the world.
…
The capital of the Tuyuhun Khanate was at the other end of the desert. A group of twenty people went deep into the desert and trudged through it for a day and night, and saw a grassland at the other end of the desert.
The capital of the Tuyuhun Khanate is located in the center of the grassland. It was once a hub city for exchanges and trade between Gaochang, Goryeo, and even Japan.
Now it seems a little depressed because of the recent war.
Although it is the capital of the country, the city on the grassland looks very simple from the outside, not even comparable to the small Mang County.
But there are many grassland people living outside the city. There are cattle, horses and goats everywhere, and they seem to be quite wealthy.
Bai Song and his party did not hide anything, and walked on the grassland dressed as Han Chinese.
Ordinary residents of the Tuyuhun Khanate were very curious when they saw such a group of people, and encountered many doubtful looks along the way.
Everyone on the grassland knows that as long as people wearing Han costumes enter here, they must be more careful.
So everyone along the way looked at Bai Song and the others from a distance, and no one dared to step forward and ask more questions.
Liu'er looked at those weird looks and couldn't help but whisper: "Are we too conspicuous like this? Should we dress up as prairie people..."
"No need." Bai Song shook his head, "There were two teams that entered here before, one was the Secret Zhao Division and the other was Li Jing. They didn't know the situation on the battlefield when they entered here, so they had to act in secret. And we
It's different. We know that the overall situation ahead has been decided, so there's no need to be sneaky. And we don't have much time, so we don't need to conduct careful and secret investigations. If we just enter the city in such a swagger, it will definitely cause quite a stir. By then, whether it's
Li Jing and the Secretary of Secret Intelligence can know our arrival at the first time, and it is better for them to contact us than for us to contact them."
Liu'er said nothing more.
Bai Song's method was a bit risky, but now that Long Shanshan and Jian Shisan were by his side, as well as Liu'er, a great witch, and he had proven his strength, Bai Song was very confident.
Such a group of people walked arrogantly on the grassland. After a while, a group of people appeared and surrounded them.
A group of people actually muttered for a while, speaking in Turkic language, which Bai Song could not understand.
Badu stepped forward and said, "They asked us who we are?"
Bai Song didn't waste any time and said directly: "I am Bai Song, the military advisor of the Tang Dynasty."
Badu frowned: "Do you really want to say that?"
Bai Song nodded and said so.
Baduo did as he was told, and a group of people became more vigilant after hearing Bai Song's identity.
Soon another team came over, with no less than a hundred people surrounding Bai Song and others.
Badu added: "He asked us what we are here for?"
Bai Song replied: "I came to the Tuyuhun Khanate to discuss surrender matters on the orders of the Great Tang Dynasty Khan."
With this said, the soldiers of the Tuyuhun Khanate were even more in trouble. It seemed that these people knew about the war situation ahead. Even if Bai Song exposed his identity, they would not dare to do anything at this time.
"Let them take me to see the king of Tuyuhun Khanate."
Badu once again acted as translator.
At this time, a young man came out from the Tyuhun Khanate army and asked in fluent Chinese: "Are you really here to discuss surrender?"
Bai Song looked him over and nodded.
The other party asked again: "Do you have proof?"
Bai Song took out his knife and thrust it into the ground.
The cold knife is gray and black, with no blade visible, but it exudes a deadly coldness.
The Tuyuhun Khanate did not know the name of the Bai Song Dynasty, but they knew that there was a man in the Tang army who wielded a gray and white cold sword and killed the first Turkic warrior.
As soon as the cold knife came out, some of the soldiers who rushed to the front and retreated became frightened when they saw it, and some even couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The man didn't seem to recognize the knife and frowned, a little confused.
Later, a man came forward and whispered something. After hearing this, the man showed a look of astonishment, and looked at Bai Song in awe.
Bai Song smiled and said: "If you want to surrender, you must look like you are surrendering. Take me to pick up King Tuyuhun Khan. Otherwise, this knife will not be polite!"
