Li Jing's words were simple, but Bai Song could hear that he was handing over a heavy task.

After this battle, Li Jing is afraid that it will be difficult to fight.

Bai Song thought of what Li Jing had said to himself before, in the future, his position would have to be replaced by himself, and those soldiers who had followed him for decades needed him to lead.

For a while, Bai Song felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

I don't know if what I have done along the way can win the hearts of the military? Can you get the support of those soldiers?

I don't know what it will be like to return to the capital after accepting Li Jing's heavy responsibility?

Is it a blessing or a curse for yourself?

Thinking about it, Bai Song went out of the side hall where the Tang army had settled, and saw Fu Yun who had been waiting for a long time at the door.

Seeing Bai Song, King Fu Yun asked very respectfully: "General Bai, ...... general?"

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Fu Yun looked inside, hesitated, and then smiled: "That...... General Bai, can we talk in a different place? ”

The inner courtyard of the royal court.

Fu Yun asked for the holy decree he had just gotten: "General Bai, Xiao Wang is really a little embarrassed about the matter of the holy decree, what is the situation of the Tuyuhun Khanate, I believe you have also seen it with your own eyes, can you please convey it to the Heavenly Khan, these small countries really can't get the compensation." ”

Bai Song had also heard about the peace conditions, and he had also seen the reality of the Tuyuhun Khanate.

Not to mention that it has just experienced a war, even if it has not experienced any, it is difficult for the Tuyuhun Khanate to raise enough reparations of two million.

But this is the enemy after all, and on the battlefield, Bai Song saw his men die in front of him.

The indemnity is not only a number, but also a manifestation of consolation for all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Bai Song frowned, thought for a while and said, "I will convey the actual situation, but the figure of two million will definitely not be less." I will also propose to Tian Khan that the two million indemnity be settled within five years. And five times the annual tribute will not be less every year. ”

"Huh?" Fu Yun's face was embarrassed, even if it was settled within five years, then during these five years, the Tuyuhun Khanate didn't know how to spend it.

Not only did the royal family have to cut back on food and clothing, but even the herdsmen had to increase taxes.

They were originally thinking about foreign expansion and causing wars because of their difficult lives, but now the war has not been won, and their lives are worse than before.

"What? Is there a problem with such conditions? Bai Song snorted coldly, not giving much of a good face.

Fu Yun shook his head again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare...... It's just that...... It's just that in the next ten years, I am afraid that the people of the grassland will suffer. ”

"Don't play a trick in front of me! Suffering the people of the grassland? Could it be that all this is caused by my Datang? This is the price you should pay! ”

"But...... But ......" Fu Yun stopped talking, and after hesitating, he said, "If it goes on like this, Xiao Wang will use all means to make up enough compensation, but I am afraid that the Tuyuhun Khanate will no longer be stable, in case someone rebels halfway...... Without Xiao Wang, I'm afraid that not everyone is willing to accept such regulations, and when the time comes, a new war may break out. ”

Bai Song was right when he thought about it, this wool can't be cleaned at one time, and it has to be recycled.

Bai Song thought for a while, remembered the future he realized on the grassland, and said: "Since the current Tuyuhun Khanate is very poor, you, as the king, naturally have to find ways to develop your own country. ”

Fu Yun frowned, obviously not quite understanding what Bai Song wanted to express.

I saw Bai Song say seriously: "If you can open up the trade road to Datang, introduce some Datang production technology, and find the direction of grassland development, maybe you can change the current predicament." ”

The biggest problem of the Tuyuhun Khanate was its remoteness and isolation.

Only Datang is the largest country among the surrounding countries, and if it wants to seek development, it must border Datang.

And the Tuyuhun Khanate was blocked by a small desert, which became the main reason for the closure of the Tuyuhun Khanate.

Fu Yun also said: "General, we also thought about going out, but the desert outside has turned many simple things into delusions. If it's not that we can't get out, how can we want to snatch someone else's chassis? ”

Bai Song walked through that desert, it was indeed very barren, and without great perseverance and sufficient food, ordinary people could not cross it.

But this desert is not very large, and it only takes a day and a half to pass through.

Thinking about it, Bai Song had a bold idea in his heart, what would happen if both the Tang Dynasty and the Tuyuhun Khanate planted trees along the border of the desert at the same time?

Not to mention changing the desert into woodland, at least controlling the desert and gradually reducing the distance between the two places, it should not be difficult.

It's going to be a big undertaking that could last years, even decades.

But in this remote grassland, it may become an ideal place to verify Bai Song's inner vision.

If everything here is deeply bound to the Tang Dynasty, maybe there will be no more wars, and there will not even be ethnic divisions, and there will be no national borders.

So, Bai Song wanted to give it a try here.

Bai Song hid his idea in his heart, and when he returned to Chang'an, everything was conceived in detail.

In front of Fu Yun, Bai Song did not show his thoughts, and said in a deep voice for Fu Yun's worries: "If you can't manage your territory, I believe it won't be long before my Tang army will cross the desert and enter your royal court." ”

Fu Yun's face changed, and he lost his luck in an instant.

The first two conditions, he had to agree.

But the last condition, then he really has no choice.

The only son was killed by his own hands, where did Fu Yun find a close relative?

"General Bai, my only son is dead, this third condition ......"

Bai Song also frowned, and he was also worried about this.

The holy decree has been issued, if you can't bring the hostages back, how can you explain to the emperor?

Fu Yun saw that Bai Song frowned, and stepped forward and asked tentatively: "General, Xiao Wang still has two daughters......

"Daughter......" Bai Song muttered, thinking about the status of women in ancient times, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to bring them back.

But it's better than not being able to bring anything back, right?

After thinking for a while, Bai Song nodded: "Then let's do it." ”

"Xiao Wang's two daughters have always regarded them as treasures, and I implore the general on the road to take good care of them."

"We're leaving early tomorrow morning, call both of your daughters, and we're not waiting for anyone."

"Yes, yes......" Fu Yun nodded again and again, "Xiao Wang's move is to send his daughter to marry the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the two countries can form an alliance forever, and the Tuyuhun Khanate is willing to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty forever." ”

Bai Song didn't think much about it: "Okay, I'll convey what you mean, but it doesn't matter to me whether Tian Khan appreciates it or not." ”

Fu Yun thanked him again and again before sending Bai Song out.

And in this matter, everyone's mission in the grassland has come to an end, and everyone is preparing for tomorrow's departure.
