Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 481 Return to Youzhou
Luo Yi was very happy to see Gongsun Heng's understanding. After all, this was Shuozhou. If Gongsun Heng tried to stop him, he couldn't kill him, right?

Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen, so he continued, "I don't know if this Ashler Falcon has a big appetite. If he asks for too much, it will be really difficult to deal with."

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry so much. In fact, I have dealt with this Ashler Falcon twice. He is a very calm person. He knows what can be done and what cannot be done."

"Just like this time when he asked us for food and grass, he knew that you were anxious, Your Majesty." Gongsun Heng said

"Yes, this guy is really amazing. It is a great honor for the Tang Dynasty to have him on the grassland. Well, let's ask him what he wants." Luo Yi said with emotion
Gongsun Heng naturally nodded after hearing this, and then they began to discuss how much food and grass should be given to Ashile Falcon. After reaching a conclusion, Gongsun Heng sent the housekeeper out of the city.

"Falcon, someone from Shuozhou City has come, saying that they have already discussed and can give us money and food. He wants to see you. I think he wants to talk." Yaluo said
"There's no need to talk. Tell him that I agree. Let them send out the food and grass directly. As a sign of sincerity, we will withdraw our troops ten miles. Remember, I will only give them three days." Ashile Falcon said
Ya Luo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but he reacted quickly and went out. When Mr. Qin, who was sent out for the negotiations, heard the news, he was also stunned.

However, he did live a few decades longer, so he didn't say anything else. He just turned around and left. After returning to the city, he went directly to the Governor's Mansion.

"What did you say? He agreed without even asking? How is that possible? What on earth is he planning? Is he planning to launch a surprise attack during the handover?" Luo Yi asked in doubt.
Your Highness, I think that is unlikely. Ashile Falcon would not do such an obviously unwise thing, and didn’t he agree to withdraw his troops ten miles?

"So I think there might be something wrong on the grassland, which is why he is in a hurry to go back. I think we might as well give it a try."

"After all, they are not the only ones who are anxious. Your Majesty, don't you also need to return as soon as possible?" Gongsun Heng said

"Well, then, let's agree to it and start preparing now." Luo Yi nodded.
While Shuozhou City was preparing, the Eagle Division outside the city had retreated ten miles. Two days passed like this, and two days later the Shuozhou city gate was opened.

At first, money and food were sent out one after another, and then piled up three miles away. After all the money and food were sent out, Shuozhou gave a signal to the Ashile tribe.

Then Ashile Falcon brought several hundred people back to the place where the food and grass were, took all the food and grass away, and then joined the army and headed towards the grassland.

Watching them leave, Luo Yi and Gongsun Heng finally felt relieved. The battle was finally over, and they could finally put their minds at ease.

Since the war was over, it was natural for Luo Yi to leave, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he sent someone to send the battle report back urgently.

He had to wait for Li Shimin's decision and then judge Li Shimin's thoughts. Once there was something wrong, he would go directly to Youzhou and start a rebellion.

At this time, Li Shimin on the other side was actually thinking about Luo Yi's whereabouts.

"Now that the Ashile tribe has retreated back to the grassland, the war in Shuozhou will probably end soon. The question now is, what should we do with Luo Yi? We absolutely cannot let him stay in Jingyang any longer." Li Shimin said

"Your Majesty, although Luo Yi's Tianjie Army is very powerful, if it were in the past, we would naturally have no problem taking him down, but now, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Du Ruhui said

"Keming, I know it's difficult, so I have no intention of doing anything. I just want to find him a more suitable position." Li Shimin said

"Your Majesty, if you just want to find a suitable position for him, then I think it would be best to find a place in the south for him." Fang Xuanling said

"Yes, I actually thought so too, but where should I choose for him? I thought about it and couldn't find a suitable position." Li Shimin said

"Your Majesty, I think we are thinking in the wrong direction. Even if Luo Yi is placed in the south, he may not be able to settle down. So I think it is better to put him on the sandbar." Du Ruhui said

"Shazhou? You wanted to? Yes, why didn't I think of it? His Tianjie Army can't be idle, we have to find something for him to do, and the Shazhou is it."

"Okay, Luo Yi's matter has been settled, but what about Xue Wanfeng? He has made great contributions this time, how should I reward him?" Li Shimin said

"Your Majesty, I think Xue Wanfeng has made great contributions this time and should be granted a title." Fang Xuanling said

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Xue Wanfeng is still a traitor. If I confer a title on him, I'm afraid it will be risky. It would be better to reward him with some gold and silver." Du Ruhui said

"Well, let me think about it. Of course I have to give him gold and silver, but I also have to give him the title. After all, he married Le Yan anyway."

"Even if there is a real war in the future, that is a matter for the future," Li Shimin said.

After hearing this, the two people knew that His Majesty had made up his mind, so they stopped talking and the whole thing was settled.

Li Shimin acted quickly. Since he had already made the decision, he would not hesitate. So he quickly sent two groups of people to convey his order.

Time passed slowly, and Xue Wanfeng had now returned to Youzhou. Looking at the boundary marker in front of him, Xue Wanfeng couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In fact, it's not just him, but the soldiers behind him as well. After all, this is an expedition to the grassland, and before setting off, none of them can guarantee that they will definitely be able to come back.

Now not only have they returned, but they have also brought back so many spoils. How can they not be happy?

"Brothers, according to the old rules, we should hand over the cattle and sheep to the people and let them help deal with them. When we distribute the meat this time, give them an extra 10%." Xue Wanfeng said

The soldiers who heard this had no objection. After all, they were local soldiers from Youzhou, and they naturally would not object to the decision of their short general.

"Okay, that's all later. Let's go home now, hahaha." Xue Wanfeng laughed and rode his horse forward.

When they arrived outside Youzhou City, they found that there were already many people here, and many newcomers spontaneously stood on both sides to welcome them.

When Xue Wanfeng saw this scene, he felt even happier. When he was about to move forward, he saw the carriage from his own house.

Seeing his own carriage, Xue Wanfeng got off the horse and walked towards it. At this time, A Dou, who was guarding beside the carriage, also saw Xue Wanfeng.

He hurriedly said a few words to the carriage, and after a while, Changge and Le Yan came out of the carriage. Xue Wanfeng looked at them and walked forward with a smile.

"Husband, you are finally back. How are you? Are you not hurt?" Changge said excitedly, "Don't worry, madam. I am fine. Look, I didn't lie to you." After Xue Wanfeng finished speaking, he turned around and said
"Well, I saw it, I saw it, let's go home?" Changge said hurriedly
"Okay, but ma'am, please wait for me to give a few instructions. Wait for me, I'll be back soon." After Xue Wanfeng finished speaking, he walked back directly, gave a few instructions to Wang Li, and then came back.

"Let's go, ma'am. I've said everything. Let's go home." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

Then the three of them got on the carriage. After getting on the carriage, Xue Wanfeng smiled and said, "Le Yan, what's wrong with you, little girl? Why don't you say a word?"

"Ah? No, no, I just feel a little embarrassed." Le Yan said shyly.

"Hahaha, you, I see you are not shy, you are worried about Li Shimin, right? Don't worry, I heard on the way back that Ashile's troops have withdrawn." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

"Really? Really? That's great, really great." Le Yan immediately became happy when she heard it.

Changge, who was standing by, also became happy after hearing this, but she was happy because Ashile had withdrawn his troops, and the Tang Dynasty would be safe. But at the same time, she also knew that she had missed a good opportunity.

However, she did not regret it before, and naturally she would not regret it now. She and Li Shimin had a personal grudge, and this could not affect the safety of the Tang Dynasty, so she did not regret it.

The carriage gradually stopped, and the three of them got off and returned to the mansion. On the first day back, Xue Wanfeng naturally wanted to stay at his wife's place.

At this moment, he was soaking in the bathtub with his eyes closed, enjoying the massage from his wife. Chang Ge observed her husband while he was massaging, and she felt relieved only after she found that there were indeed no new injuries on his body.

"My dear husband, the Ashile tribe retreated this time because of you, so I am very worried. If they come back for revenge, I am afraid we won't be able to stop them with our strength." Li Changge said worriedly.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I have left a hidden danger for them. They don't have time to deal with us now, so you don't have to worry so much. It's okay." Xue Wanfeng said with a smile

Although Li Changge didn't know what the hidden danger her husband was talking about was, since her husband said so, she naturally believed it.

While Xue Wanfeng was enjoying himself, the atmosphere in the Ashile tribe was unusually solemn.

"Xue Wanfeng is such a bastard. This Khan let him go, but instead of being grateful, he dared to invade our grassland. This is simply outrageous!"

"Falcon, take your falconer and bring me his head!" the Great Khan said directly.

When Ashile Falcon heard this, he knew what his adoptive father meant, so he quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Yes, Great Khan, please rest assured, I will complete the task!"

"Wait a minute, Uncle Khan, I think we shouldn't let Falcon go. After all, my nephew and the Tu Keshe tribe suffered heavy losses because of him this time. We should avenge this vengeance ourselves!"

"So Uncle Khan, I, your nephew, ask for your permission to lead the Wolf Division to kill Xue Wanfeng!" She Er said
"Yes, Great Khan, I also ask for your permission. I will go with the Little Khan. Don't worry, I will do my best to assist the Little Khan and bring back Xue Wanfeng's head for you." Tu Keshe said

"Alright, alright, you are just fooling around! We have just withdrawn and our army is demoralized. If you go there now, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy losses."

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. Falcon, you've worked hard dragging Luo Yi in Shuozhou, She'er, stay. The two of you can leave." said the Great Khan

After hearing this, Ashileshun and Tulkash naturally bowed and then left.

After they left, the Great Khan said, "Sheer, I know you doubt Falcon, so you don't want him to go, but have you ever thought about it? It is precisely because he has problems that I let him go."

"If we don't let him go, how can we know whether he has any problems? I know what you are going to say, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you and Tuloshe went?"

"What should we do about the royal court? If there is really something wrong with the falcon, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

After hearing this, Sheer realized that he had been too anxious, so he quickly apologized.

"Alright, alright, I'm not blaming you for telling you this. After all, I understand your thoughts. It's not just you, I feel the same way too."

"What Falcon did this time is indeed worthy of suspicion, but it is only suspicion. After all, Xue Wanfeng is full of tricks, and this is very likely what he did on purpose." The Great Khan said

"Uncle Khan, I was wrong, but why did you do that just now?" She Er said in a deep voice
"You want to ask me why I gave up the idea of ​​sending troops, right? Because originally all this was tacitly understood. Falcon knew that I suspected him, but he didn't say it."

"This is the tacit understanding between us, but now that you have stood up, he naturally cannot go. Otherwise, no matter how this matter ends, it will hurt our father-son relationship."

"So he can't go. Besides, it's almost winter now. We suffered heavy losses this time. It will take more than a short time to take Youzhou."

"If we delay for too long, once winter comes, it will be difficult to deal with. Our current food and grass are not enough to sustain us until the winter." The Great Khan said

"Uh, Uncle Khan, I don't know what we should do now?" She Er said
"Now? Now of course we have to go and collect grain from other tribes. Sheer, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must be tactful."

"Don't make a big fuss. Otherwise, we won't be able to take revenge on Youzhou next year." The Great Khan said directly.

After hearing this, Sheer naturally bowed and then turned and left.

After She'er left, the Great Khan's face changed and he returned to his tent angrily. When Khatun saw him coming back, he hurried forward to greet him.

Unexpectedly, he slapped Khatun to the ground with a slap, and then angrily said, "You bitch, don't think I don't know what you did."

"I'm telling you, this is the grassland, this is the Ashile tribe, this is where I have the final say, not you! If you dare to do it again, I will kill you! Get out!" The Great Khan yelled angrily.

After hearing this, Khatun did not explain, but stood up silently and walked out of the tent.
