Shi Danai has followed Li Yuan for some years and has always been deeply trusted, if in the past, it would not be strange for Li Yuan to let him pacify those Turkic cavalry, but now this knot makes it seem a little strange for him to do this. It's not that Stanai is disobedient, but because he is a Turk.

Back at the mansion, Shi Danai locked himself in his room and didn't even eat. It was not until the evening that he ordered a feast to be prepared, and sent people to the military camp to bring the remaining thirty or so Turkic cavalry back to the palace.

The Turks like to drink wine and eat meat, and in the face of a sumptuous dinner, they should have their eyes shining, drinking wine in large bowls, and eating meat in large pieces, but they did not even touch the wine bowl, but just sat quietly.

"In the early dynasty, His Majesty had already issued an edict, let me wait to stay." Shi Danai's mood was also a little heavy, he looked at the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I have followed Your Majesty for many years, and I have decided to stay, what choice do you make?" ”

The expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall looked a little puzzled, and they looked at each other, as if asking each other if Shi Danai's words were credible.

"I know that the court is wary of you these days, but Your Majesty is benevolent, remembering your past merits, I can't bear to embarrass you." Everyone's expressions fell on Shi Danai's eyes, and he didn't show any surprise, after all, when Li Yuan asked him to appease everyone, his expression at that time was the same as their current expression.

"His Majesty the Tang Emperor is really willing to let us go home?" Someone had the audacity to ask.

"Your Majesty said what he said in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, how can he fake?" Shi Danai smiled bitterly, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "Don't worry, this is not poisonous wine. After that, drink a full bowl.

Everyone in the hall smiled awkwardly and drank their bowls together.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has loved the people like a son, swept away all the rogues in the Tang Dynasty, and made the country and the people safe, which was done by Mingjun." After everyone laughed, Shi Danai said very seriously: "Your Majesty is not only a Ming monarch, but also a Ming lord, worthy of our service. ”

Shi Danai's purpose was well known to everyone, some of them nodded silently, some bowed their heads and considered, and some insisted on their own ideas: "What the general said, we have no objections." It's just that the grassland is our home, but now we have to kill each other with our brothers and sisters for the sake of Datang, and it is really difficult to obey our fate. ”

"It's human nature to miss your hometown, you are all men from the grassland, and you will never change your mind because of my words." Shi Danai did not change his face because someone insisted on leaving, he sighed and said, "That's it, let's not talk about other things today, brothers drink to their heart's content." ”

Stanai was a Turkic, and he certainly understood the Turkic mind.

After drinking and eating, everyone wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Shi Danai asked the person who was going to return to the Turks to leave one, explained a few words softly in Turkic dialect, and sent some coils, and then let him go.

Everyone left with peace of mind, but Shi Danai always felt uneasy, but fortunately, he was not a hypocritical person, knowing that life and death were fateful, and some things were not something he could control at all, so he sighed lightly, went to the study, and prepared the folds.

On the morning of the second day, Shi Danai told the decision of those Turkic cavalry, those Turkic cavalry were just small people, Li Yuan just sighed a pity, and ordered someone to prepare to clear the customs document and sent someone to pass it on.

......

After getting the customs clearance paper, the dozen or so cavalrymen left Chang'an City on the same day.

After leaving the city, they galloped all the way, and the leader often looked back with a look of worry in his eyes.

"Asler, what did General Shi tell you?" A few people behind him noticed Ashiler's strange appearance, and said curiously: "His Majesty the Tang Emperor has agreed to let me leave, are you still worried that someone is ambushing?" ”

"The Central Plains people are scheming, so they have to guard against it!" Asler kept going, and said as he walked: "General Shi has been in the Central Plains longer than us, and he advised me to leave after getting the customs clearance documents, which has his own reasons. ”

Thinking of the strategy of those generals when they fought with the Tang Army, everyone silently recognized Asler's words in their hearts.

"Does General Shi have any other explanations?" Someone asked again.

"If you want to leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you must pass through those three cities, General Shi said, let's go to the one guarded by His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty." The people around him are all trustworthy Turkic warriors, and Asler explained without concealment: "General Shi does not have a deep relationship with Jiang Guogong, and if you go to him, the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable." King Qin is decisive, even if we have fought for it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to let us go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and virtuous, and there will be life if he leaves. ”

"So far, he is still thinking about our safety, alas, he meets on the battlefield every day, what should we do?" Some people sighed with emotion, which made others feel relatable.

Asler didn't answer, he looked at the long road ahead, remembered Shi Danai's eyes when he was leaving, and said secretly: The Turks and the Tang Dynasty are already incompatible, can we really go back alive?

The road was very smooth, there was no worry about the Tang ambush soldiers, and no one deliberately embarrassed them in the passing city, in just a few days, they arrived at the city where Li Jiancheng led the army to garrison, and hundreds of miles outside the city is Taiyuan.

After trembling all the way, everyone's hearts finally relaxed a little, and when they heard that the prince personally set up a banquet to see them off, they still felt a little guilty and moved.

Only the prince and a few people accompanied him at the banquet, but now after all, it was wartime, and they were deeply honored that the prince could accompany him in person, and at the banquet, the prince never showed any intention of soliciting, which made them feel even more favorable.

"As Turkic warriors, you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and now you are homesick, and this palace really can't bear to keep it." When the banquet was dispersed, Li Jiancheng looked sad and said sincerely: "But because of this, this palace has to persuade two sentences, can you bear to let the people of the Tang Dynasty who you have guarded for several years die under your iron horse?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not that we don't want to stay, it's just that our wives and children are still on the grassland, if we don't go back, how will they survive?" When everyone was embarrassed, Asler replied respectfully: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to fulfill it." ”

"Alas, out of this city, it is a battlefield." Li Jiancheng said regretfully: "Battlefield killing, there is no emotion to talk about, you take care, if the Tang Dynasty is defeated in the future, I hope you can do less killing and treat the people of the Tang Dynasty well." ”

"Asler assured His Highness that he would not harm any Tang people in this life." Asler replied with an oath.

Li Jiancheng nodded heavily and let them go.

Smoothly leaving the city guarded by Li Jiancheng, Asler breathed a long sigh of relief, he glanced back, and said sincerely: "The prince of the Tang Dynasty is really a benevolent person. ”

Before the words fell, countless arrows fell from the sky, and in just one round, all the horses fell in a pool of blood.

"Outside the city is the battlefield, that's what it means." Before Asler died, he saw the benevolent prince on the city wall, smiled bitterly, and looked at his companions again, with an unwilling look on his face.

They are just small people, no one pays attention to life and death, thinking of this, Asler turned his head to the north with difficulty, and slowly lost his breath, and died without looking away.
