Cheng Wuting prepared a large number of sheep wine to treat the army, and the soldiers of the Tang Army who came from afar were all happy. Waiting for the generals, of course, will be a sumptuous and enthusiastic feast, and the generals will have a great time drinking.

After a few glasses of wine, Xue Shao's mind was more sober and sharp than usual.

Looking around at the generals at the banquet, he found that Pei Xingjian's appointment this time was not only bold to use new people, but also another detail that was particularly intriguing - these generals he sent, including Cheng Wuting and Xue Chuyu, who had been here before, all had some friendship with him. And most of them are not "big names" in the army, so only the evil Cheng Wuting and the right Yu Lin Wei general Zhang Qianqiao are older and have slightly higher qualifications.

However, Cheng Wuting once formed a life-and-death friendship with Xue Shao during the Shuozhou offensive and defensive war, and at the same time owed Xue Shaoruo a favor; Zhang Qianqiao is a person who serves in the Royal Forest Army, and his biggest characteristic is that he is "sensible", and he knows a lot about Xue Shao's origins. Moreover, Zhang Qianqiao was oppressed by Li Shangdan, the general of Zuo Yu Linwei at the same level, and lived like a grandson, and he always dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. In a sense, Zhang Qianqiao and Xue Shao can also be regarded as robes "in the same trench".

Then it is obvious that such a group of generals can easily form a military command center with Xue Shao as the core, and there will be no one who will form a second force to oppose and confront Xue Shao.

The commander is of the same heart and obeys orders, this is the way to win in the art of war.

Moreover, after working together in Heisha, it was easy for these generals to develop the habit of obeying Xue Shao's orders. In other words, it won't be difficult for Xue Shao to control and command them in the future!

Seeing Pei Xingjian's far-reaching intentions in personnel arrangements, Xue Shao couldn't help but sigh: For me, a beginner student, for the army and future of Datang, Pei Gong is really well-intentioned!

According to Xue Shao's opinion, Cheng Wuting arranged a secret place for Ashina Funian to live in, and set up a tent next to the baggage barracks for him to stay. Xue Shao brought Wu Ming and Guo An to live in together.

It's just that the place where Xue Shao first met Fu Nian was not in the tent, but took him to the grave of the Etun special service.

"Who's buried in this?" There was no greeting, Fu Nian asked.

"Asdeedun." Xue Shao replied.

Fu Nian's brows furrowed, his expression changed slightly, and he probably guessed seven or eight points.

"Do you want to know the current situation of Yudu Jinshan?" Xue Shao said lightly.

Fu Nian let out a long sigh, "No need to say it. You guys won. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Talking to smart people is to save trouble." ”

"I want to ask, what about the princess of our Ashina Khan clan?" Fu Nian asked.

The corners of Xue Shao's mouth raised slightly, "This is not what you should be concerned about now." ”

"So what else can I care about?" Fu Nian seems to be a bit of a disillusionment.

"So, I still need to tell you some truths." Xue Shao smiled coldly and said, "Ashdwin Fu's father and son killed each other, and both died. The dragons and dragons in the mountains of the capital are fighting for each other, and they are currently in a melee. The 100,000 male soldiers of the black sand are waiting for the day, just waiting for the time to give me an order, and it is easy to step on the capital and the mountain. Whether it is the Ashina clan or the Ashde clan, Yang or the nine surnamed Tiele, all the grassland tribes that have participated in the rebellion against the Tang Dynasty are facing extinction - this is what you should consider and care about now! ”

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Fu Nian's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and there was no lack of compromise and mercy in his tone.

"I want you to become, rightfully the Khan of the steppe." Xue Shao said.

Fu Nian was stunned, "What did you say?" ”

"I'm sure you've heard me clearly."

"......" Fu Nian blinked his eyes several times, "General Xue, this matter may not be something you can do. ”

"That's right, I can't be the master." Xue Shao said, "I have also expressed this meaning in my words, it is I who 'want', not me 'will' or I 'can'!" ”

Fu Nian smiled bitterly, "General Xue is only eight buckets high, I sigh to myself." Therefore, General Xue doesn't have to chew words on me anymore. ”

"I didn't chew on the words, my meaning has been made clear." Xue Shao said, "I hope that you can persuade the rebel tribes who have gathered in Dujin Mountain to surrender and put an end to this protracted war." After the deed is completed, I will make a statement to the Holy Lord and the Imperial Court, and make you a khan or a county king. ”

Fu Nian smiled, "Just like Jieli back then, be a khan who can never return to the grassland, and a county king who can never leave Chang'an, right?" ”

"Sort of." Xue Shao replied calmly, "This is not unexpected by you, is it?" ”

"Okay...... This is probably the best I expected. Fu Nian let out a long sigh, "General Xue, please send someone to send me to Yudu Jinshan now!" ”

"Don't worry, wait a while." Xue Shao said indifferently.

Fu Nian frowned, "Why wait?" ”

Xue Shao's expression was indifferent and he didn't answer.

Fu Nian pondered later, and his expression changed in shock, "Could it be that you want the grassland tribe in Yudu Jinshan to continue the internal fighting?" Could it be that you and the 100,000 Tang Army in Heisha are waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and still want to launch a war of clearance? ”

Xue Shao smiled but still didn't answer, thinking to himself, if I don't defeat the vitality of your group of rebels, don't let you feel fear from the bottom of your heart, wake up from nightmares in your sleep, and don't let you regret being the enemy of Datang from now on - how can I give up!!

Sometimes, silence is a statement.

Fu Nian was such a shrewd person, and at this time he already understood Xue Shao's intentions in his heart.

"General Xue, you don't have more to gain than you lose by doing this!" Fu Nian hurriedly said, "The Tang Dynasty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, and now at this time, you should be benevolent and righteous on the grassland, and you can no longer carry out conquest and killing." If you really start a large-scale war against Du Jinshan, it will inevitably deepen the hatred between the Tang Dynasty and the grassland tribes, and peace will be extremely difficult to achieve. ”

"You're wrong." Xue Shao's reaction was unexpectedly calm, and he said, "For fifty years, the Tang Dynasty has been governing the Central Plains with benevolence and filial piety, and it has also governed the grassland with benevolence and filial piety. But the result? ”

"General Xue, in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has repeatedly conscripted troops on expeditions in the grassland, and nine out of ten have not returned, coupled with the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the officials have bullied the grassland people and are humiliated, which is why today's situation has arisen." Fu Nian argued eagerly, "If you want to end this war in front of you, you still have to do the royal way." Domineering killing will only cause a bigger turmoil! ”

"I see the opposite of you. Although the so-called requisition of soldiers, excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and unscrupulous officials, are also true, they are not as serious as you exaggerate, and they have not yet reached the level of officials forcing the people to rebel. You use this as an excuse for rebellion - far-fetched! Xue Shaoyi was stern.

Fu Nian took a deep breath, "Then how do you explain the two wars that broke out on the grassland?" If it weren't for the people's desire, the number of grassland troops participating in each battle would be more than 100,000? ”

"Well explained." Xue Shao smiled coldly and said: "In my opinion, the liberal and self-governing policy adopted by the Tang Dynasty against the submissive alien race can only be an expedient measure at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it is no longer suitable for the current situation. It has been 50 years since the Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and now they are rebelling again, precisely because of the loose policy of restraint that you Turkic nobles have raised the ambition of recovering the country. How can there be a perfect dynasty in the world, and it is normal for contradictions to arise between the people and the government, and the dynasties have never been broken. But instead of mediating, you, the tribal chiefs who eat the king's fortune, let your ambition keep driving you, and sow discord between the Tang Dynasty court and the people of the grassland for your own selfish interests. You took advantage of some of the grievances of the people on the grassland against the government, exaggerated your rhetoric to fan the flames, and launched rebellions one after another. At the moment, you are like a pampered rebel, the more you spoil you, the more spoiled you become, and then any reason is no longer reasonable. Then, it's time to let the stick be a filial son! ”

Fu Nian's face was cramped, and he blew up his beard with a few breaths of rapid air, and muttered: "In your opinion, we are the pampered Tang Dynasty...... Unfilial son? ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Isn't my analogy vivid enough?" ”

Wu Ming and Guo An next to him laughed when they heard this, and said together: "Extremely vivid." ”

Fu Nian was calm, he took two deep breaths, and said, "General Xue, I want to ask - is this what the Tang Dynasty means?" ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Unfortunately, this is not something you should care about. ”

"......" Fu Nian was speechless. At the same time, my mind was completely clear.

Now, the facts in front of Fu Nian are obvious, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and the weak have never had real rights and interests in the face of power, let alone any qualifications to argue.

So the only thing Fu Nian can do now is to make as few deaths on the grassland as possible. In that way, his sins in starting this rebellion might be lessened a little.

Xue Shao left Fu Nian room to play, and that's it.

"I have no choice and nothing to say." Fu Nian raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the distant distance, the sunset was like blood, and the grassland was thousands of miles.

Xue Shao nodded, "I believe you will make the wisest choice." ”

Fu Nian looked up to the sky and sighed, suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, raised his hands and muttered, "My homeland, my tribe, my compatriots...... Everything, destroyed by my hands! ”

Xue Shao turned his head when he heard this, Fu Nian actually closed his eyes and let out a sobbing sound.

Xue Shao couldn't help but think that at this moment, in Fu Nian's heart, did he have an awareness similar to the "king of the dead country"? Now it seems that Fu Nian has at least one advantage, he does not blame others for all the failures in front of him, or shirk them with objective reasons.

A moment later.

"It's time for us to go back." Xue Shao said behind Fu Nian.

Fu Nian, the grassland hero who had experienced wind and waves, slowly climbed up, stared at Xue Shao for a long time, and said: "Pei Wenxi is right, you are indeed the nightmare of all grassland tribes in the next few decades. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, and said to Fu Nian, "Then today I want to add that it is all the grassland tribes who dare to rebel and rebel with ill intentions!" ”.
