It's finally time to return, but the way back to Beijing is more difficult than expected.

As compensation, the Tuyuhun Khanate temporarily mobilized a group of 1,000 steppe sheep to accompany the team to Chang'an City.

A group of figures with heads and faces in the Tang Dynasty became herdsmen when they left the grassland.

In the early morning of the second day, a group of people looked at the vast flock of sheep, a little confused and a little helpless.

Sheep are only part of the compensation, and there are also a few carts of animal skins and bone products from the grassland.

Only these live sheep are very tricky.

Because the Tuyuhun Khanate really can't come up with anything decent.

Yesterday in front of Fu Yun, Bai Song still had enough of the pie, and he didn't talk about any favors, so he should compensate how he wanted.

But after really seeing these compensations, I regretted it a little in my heart.

Who cares about a bunch of soldiers?

Not to mention crossing a small desert halfway through.

In the end, a few steppe herders were mixed in with the team, and they walked all the way through the desert and returned to the front line.

The army in the barracks was still waiting for the return of the general, and when they saw the general returning safely, the brigade began to return to the court.

The flock died quite a few while crossing the desert.

The dead should be a reward for the 20,000 defenders who stuck to the front line.

Bai Song's prestige in the army has indeed been significantly improved, and in this battle, Bai Song can be regarded as the most dazzling person, whether it is the first Turkic warrior, or sent grain and grass, or went deep into the enemy country to rescue the general, it is a commendable thing.

What's more, Bai Song also brought a Shenwu cannon that made people talk about color change.

Shrouded in the fog of the Battle of Chengdu, the secret of the divine punishment has finally been revealed.

The 100,000-strong army witnessed the divine might of the Shenwu cannon.

Because of the appearance of the Shenwu cannon, it directly played a decisive role, so that this war, which would last for at least three months, had a demerit in just one month.

Moreover, the prestige of the Shenwu cannon will spread farther to deter the countries around the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, the potatoes planted by the soldiers in Lukou Mountain have become the seeds sown by the Tang forces in the border grasslands, and will become an outpost connecting the Tang Dynasty to the Tuyuhun Khanate in the future, and become the hub of economic and trade between the two countries.

A year later, Lukou Mountain will be renamed Lushan City, and there are even fanatical grassland people who commemorate what Bai Song did here to create a statue of the Han Turkic patriarch for people to worship.

Of course, these are all later words, and Bai Song never knew about it.

If he knew, with Bai Song's temperament, he would definitely directly dismantle the statue and beat those who worshiped him severely.

He didn't need to be admired, that would make him die early.

On the way back from the steppe, follow the last army to evacuate the steppe.

Every night, Bai Song can always hear the crying of women.

Bai Song thought it was his auditory hallucination, because he had such a feeling when he came out of the Tuyuhun Khanate.

If you don't listen carefully, you really won't pay much attention.

After several days, Bai Song finally couldn't help it, knocked on the wheel of the Mozhu carriage, and asked inside, "Is someone crying?" ”

Mozhu's injuries have not healed, and he has been cultivating all the time, and he has not followed Bai Song through the desert.

Now Mozhu is sleeping very deeply, and there is no sound.

With Mo Zhu was the maid Lanting who also stayed in the barracks and waited for Bai Song.

Lan Ting was just an ordinary little maid, her perception was not as good as Bai Song's, she listened carefully, shook her head and said she didn't hear it.

On the other side of the carriage, Liu'er rode his horse and sped up a few steps, allowing himself to appear in Bai Song's field of vision, and then whispered, "...... over there"

Liu'er raised his hand and pointed to another carriage at the back of the line.

There were very few carriages in the army, and the two carriages were separated by forty or fifty meters.

If it was the sound coming out of a carriage behind, it would be no wonder that it would be unpredictable.

In the back carriage was ......

Bai Song thought about it, and only then did he realize that the two princesses brought out of the Tuyuhun Khanate entered Beijing as hostages and the army.

The cries of the two Turkic princesses, this is easy to understand.

King Fu Yun said that he was sent to the capital for marriage, but in fact he was still a hostage, and he was a hostage who was not favored.

Sent to Chang'an, maybe the emperor felt that the two women were not enough, and it was not too much to kill them in a fit of anger.

Even if they really accept the condition of becoming a princess from a prince, the future life of these two princesses will definitely be very bad.

The princess of the lower kingdom was sent to the Tang Dynasty for marriage, this kind of identity is not enough for the imperial concubine, and the best result is to give it to a certain prince.

I heard that the two princesses are not as old as Bai Song combined, the eldest is fourteen, and the younger one is only ten years old, and they are regarded as political victims if they don't understand anything.

No matter who it is, from the perspective of the two of them, can they not cry?

What do the two princesses look like, Bai Song has never seen it at a glance.

Bai Song felt that these two women had nothing to do with him, no matter how pitiful they were, they could only accept their fate.

Everything is arranged by God, although Bai Song has a kind heart, but this kindness cannot be used on the two princesses.

Bai Song always remembered that they were his enemies, and being kind to them was disrespectful to his dead brother.

Bai Song looked at the carriage from afar, and could only shake his head helplessly.

……

In addition to the two princesses, there was also a woman in the car.

Bado empathizes with what happened to the two princesses.

There is no other reason, because she was also a princess of the Turks, a princess of the Aji tribe.

Once a prisoner of the Tang Army, she knew what it was like to be frightened and hopeless for the future.

And these two little princesses seem to be even more difficult than they were back then.

They are younger and have to be sent farther away.

When Baduo was captured, he could still hope that the clan would save him, but these two little princesses had no expectations.

Although they were born in the grassland, they are too young to be as strong as Baduo was at the beginning.

Watching the two little princesses cry all the way, Baduo's heart was full of mixed feelings.

Along the way, Baduo snubbed Bai Song and accompanied the two little princesses from beginning to end.

Try to explain and comfort as much as possible, hoping to make the two little princesses feel better.

"Can we see my sister again when we get to Chang'an City?"

"Yes, surely!" Baduo held the little hands of the two girls and said seriously.

"But I heard that the princess who has become a Han can't show her face anymore."

"It's okay, my sister will come to you."

"But I've heard that the princes of the Han people are all old men...... I don't like old men......"

"I ...... I don't like ...... either."

Bai Song said his judgment and felt that the biggest possibility for the two little girls was to become princesses.

And Bado had already conveyed this message earlier.

The two princesses also heard some things about the Tang Dynasty in the grassland, and knew that the people who could be crowned princes were all old men in their seventies and eighties, older than their fathers.

How can this be reassuring?

As she spoke, the two girls cried again.

Looking at the tears of the two girls, Baduo's heart was broken, she made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said: "Don't cry, my sister is in charge of you, and I will definitely find a good home for you!" ”
