The next day, Donghua saw that it was time to leave for the appointment, so he ordered Li Guangbi to choose twenty fine horses to follow.Along the way, Donghua saw that Li Guangbi had already arranged a secret manpower to respond at any time in case of a surprise attack.When they arrived at the posthouse, only Donghua and Li Guangbi entered, while the rest waited outside for orders.After a while, Donghua heard the neighing of horses outside the posthouse, and guessed that it was Guli Pei Luo who went out to greet him when he arrived. When he saw Guli Pei Luo, he was indeed very courageous, and he only brought a few people with him.After dismounting from his horse, he ordered someone to wait here, and walked towards the hall by himself, naturally Princess Nasha was by his side.

After the four of them sat down, Gu Li Pei Luo first said, "My little girl, Nasha, has already told this king everything. I'm really ashamed to say that this dispute is not my king's intention. It's all because of the dog Moyan's private alliance with Tubo and led troops to the south." It has caused a catastrophe today." After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, and then continued, "The marshal must have known that our army has no intention of fighting because of the damage to food and grass, not to mention the huge difference in strength between the two armies, this king really has no way to teach his son to end up like this !"

Seeing the sincerity of Gu Li Pei Luo's words, Donghua couldn't help sighing, "The Great Tang and Huihe have always been in harmony. The king is Huairen Khan, as the saying goes, when he first came to the court, he offered things, but now Huihe is willing to accept Tubo's alienation and disturb our Tang Dynasty!"

Gu Li Pei Luo seemed to be recalling the glorious years in the past, his face showed excitement, but then he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Donghua continued to say sternly, "King Khan should also know that although Tubo has always been covetous, he did not send troops. First, he must be afraid of my Tang Dynasty's majesty. Second, in Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng and then Princess Jincheng all married Tubo Zanpu. Tubo couldn’t send troops because of emotion and reason, so they turned to the hands of the fake Huihe. They both wanted to weaken the Tang Dynasty and wanted to perish Huihe without a single soldier. Such a sinister intention, but the king of Khan was so happy, it is really chilling.” Donghua's words had a deep meaning, and he couldn't help but look disappointed.

Gu Li Pei Luo knew that he was in the wrong, and he was in an extremely weak position at the moment. He cupped his fists and said, "What the marshal said is very true. This king is old now, and most of the affairs of the country are handed over to the eldest son, Mo Yan. It's just that he never expected that this rebellious son would be so stupid and credulous." The slander has become such a disaster. Now our army is determined to withdraw quickly, but this king still has an unfeeling request, and I hope the marshal will fulfill it."

Donghua had already expected that although Guli Pei Luo would withdraw his troops, he would struggle again, so he deliberately asked in surprise, "I don't know what King Khan wants?"

Gu Li Pei Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "The little girl Nasha told the marshal the reason before, so this king still needs to raise food and grass for the tribe. Now this king wants to go to Tubo to borrow food and grass. After all, I have an appointment with Tubo before going back to Hehe. Our side sends troops and the other side sends food, now this king wants to ask the marshal to drive north to pretend to pursue, so Tubo will think that we are still fighting, and then our army can pretend to be defeated and retreat back to Huihe, I wonder what the marshal wants?"

When Donghua heard that Pei Luo deserved to be the famous Huairen Khan, he withdrew his troops and did not forget the food, but then he thought that it was respectable that the King Khan never forgot the life and death of his clansmen, and he was worried that the King Khan was in a hurry. If he wants to ask Datang for food as a bargaining chip for withdrawing troops, then he will give it or not. He can’t take the initiative to send food when he has defeated the enemy, but if he doesn’t give it to the Huihe people, seeing that he can’t survive the cold winter, he is still preparing for it now. There is nothing better than going to Tubo to borrow food.Donghua thought so, and said with a distressed face, "It's not difficult to pretend to chase, but it will take time to drive the troops to the north. King Khan will be able to borrow food and grass by then, but I don't know how much the Tang Dynasty will consume."

Gu Li Pei Luo saw that the marshal was not easy to deal with even though he was young, and after a moment of serious consideration, he said, "What the marshal said is reasonable. After Huihe arrived in Anbei, in the name of the defeated army, he offered another hundred good horses and countless rare furs, how about it?"

Donghua saw that Pei Luo was clearly defeated, and his third son was still imprisoned in his own army. Now he actually said that he was defeated in the name of defeat, as if he had not been defeated. He really refused to admit defeat and wanted to save face.It's just that his words are considered sincere and not half arrogant or false, so there is no need to worry about expressing them.Donghua was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "This commander may be punished by His Majesty when he goes back. It's just that King Khan's words are sincere and considerate of the righteousness of the whole family. Donghua really admires him, so he agreed. It's just that King Khan needs to do as before." I made an agreement with Princess Nasha that the princess and Prince Dijian will continue to stay in our army, and they can return only after Huihe really withdraws to Anbei and no longer moves rashly."

Gu Li Pei Luo was startled when he heard that, and turned to look at Nasha. Only when Donghua saw this did he realize that Princess Nasha hadn't told her father Khan about this.

Princess Nasha hesitated and said, "Things have always been so urgent, how can I tell Father Khan in time, but it does happen."

Donghua saw Guli Pei Luo's displeasure on his face, but Donghua was not prepared to give in, and his expression turned cold at random and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Gu Li Pei Luo sighed helplessly and said, "It doesn't matter, I think the Marshal will treat my son and daughter kindly."

Donghua replied in a broad voice, "It must be so."

So Donghua and Li Guangbi went back to the camp, twenty elite riders followed Princess Nasha and Guli Pei Luo, and took Princess Nasha back to the camp after the father and daughter said goodbye.

The next day, the Huihe camp really began to pull out the camp and withdraw troops as promised. Donghua was finally relieved when he watched from a distance, but Li Guangbi who was beside him turned his head and asked Donghua, "Commander, if Huihe borrows food and grass this time, turn around and go back again." How can I call back?"

Donghua smiled slightly and said, "That's why our army really wants to continue marching northward to make sure they don't turn around and make trouble."

Li Guangbi nodded when he heard that, "So that's the case, no wonder the coach immediately agreed to that bone-strength Pei Luo."

While the two were talking, Princess Nasha came over and said with a smile on Donghua's face, "Now it's the Marshal who personally sent the princess home!"

Donghua couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard this, but Princess Nasha continued, "This journey is long or short, and the marshal can enjoy the scenery of my grassland."

Donghua sighed, "I'm afraid this scenery is just a wind and snow all the way." After saying that, he went back to the camp, thinking in his heart that the time to return was still far away.

In the Daming Palace of Chang'an City, Chaoyue was sitting in front of the porch watching the snowflakes flying all over the sky. There was silence all around, and the snowflakes were slowly falling to the ground one by one, as if they could hear the rustling sound.Suddenly Xiang'er's voice broke the tranquility, "Princess, there is a letter from the army! The son-in-law has a family letter to send back!" I saw Xiang'er shouting happily while running, hoping that this letter could make the princess, who is always frowning, feel a little better. comfort.Chaoyue took the letter and looked at Donghua's handwriting and hesitated whether to open it. Xiang'er went to inquire about the movement of the army and the commander every day, so Chaoyue knew that Donghua was all right, but the expedition to the bitter cold place in the northwest was everything. Anhao also trekked long distances every day, and the cold wind was biting, and Donghua liked to be clean every day, and he was extremely picky about his daily life. I don't know how much hardship he had to endure along the way.While thinking over and over again, he still couldn't bear to open the letter, for fear that he would not be able to bear it if he saw such a few words.Seeing that the princess was full of hesitation, Xiang'er just looked at the words on the envelope and did not open it, so she couldn't help but said anxiously, "Princess, open the letter and take a look, I'm really anxious."

Chaoyue seemed to be unable to hold back her concern, so she carefully tore apart the letter, and slowly opened the letter paper folded in three, but her heart was half cold after reading the few lines on the letter, and she said with a wry smile, "I miss Donghua who is clean and tidy." Ao, how can you gossip with Ben Gong." After saying that, he looked up at the snowflakes.Suddenly, a familiar and kind voice came from behind Chaoyue, "Yue'er has been back in the palace for so long and hasn't visited her aunt, and now she wants the old woman, aunt, to come and see Yue'er in person."

As soon as Chaoyue heard that her aunt was coming, she hurriedly got up to meet her, "Why is my aunt coming in the snow? No one would tell me."

Mrs. Qi shook the snowflakes on her cloak and said with a smile, "It's rare that there is no wind today, and the snowflakes are falling slowly. My aunt came out to enjoy the snow on a whim. She came to you as she walked. My aunt saw that you were in a trance just now." , but are you thinking about the son-in-law?"

Chaoyue bowed her head when she heard this, "He didn't know how to speak a few words before he went out to fight, and he only had a few words after he went out. Why does Yue'er miss him?" After speaking, she lowered her head even more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qi couldn't help laughing and said, "Yue'er is still angry with the son-in-law, but according to what Yue'er said, the son-in-law has a family letter to send back?"

"Indeed there is, it's just two short lines asking Yue'er to help him take care of that precious Luma."

Madam Qi Guo looked surprised, "Yue'er is talking nonsense again, how can this son-in-law be so far-fetched?"

Chaoyue shook her head and sighed, "Auntie, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself." After speaking, she handed over the letter.

"This month, Yue'er, why does my aunt read the letters of your husband and wife?" After finishing speaking, seeing Chaoyue still looked sad, she couldn't help taking the letter, but after reading it, she laughed loudly, "I never thought that this son-in-law would be so reserved, Yue'er It’s so incomprehensible. Fortunately, Yue’er is also quite talented, but it’s a pity that she was only an afterthought when she met this love, and she was extremely dull!” After talking, he laughed, and then continued, “Where is Yue’er? Take care of the horse, this son-in-law is clearly thinking of himself but can't say it, so he said that the two horses miss each other." After saying that, he still smiled to himself.

Chaoyue naturally didn't believe it, so she took the letter back into her hand and read it carefully again. After reading it, she really felt what her aunt said several times, but she still couldn't understand, "Why should the son-in-law be so secretive?" ?”

"Yue'er asked my aunt? It must be that Yue'er is usually arrogant and arrogant, and the son-in-law dare not speak out. The son-in-law left in a hurry, and he didn't know that he was going to set off the next day. How did Yue'er let him inform in advance?"

Chaoyue not only frowned, "How come my aunt and father speak for the son-in-law, so they only blame Yue'er."

Mrs. Qi shook her head and said with a slight smile, "It seems that His Majesty has persuaded Yue'er, but Yue'er is still angry. Does Yue'er know why your father sent a son-in-law to fight?"

Seeing that her aunt seemed to know something, Chaoyue shook her head and looked suspiciously.

Mrs. Qi continued to say with a smile, "The son-in-law is a rare talent, and must not be used by others. Your father and aunt both know this, and there is no one in the court at the moment, so they boldly entrusted the military power to him."

"But father is not afraid that the son-in-law will have a different mind?" Chaoyue knew that Donghua's literary talent and military strategy were very comparable to others, but to say that he was a peerless genius would be a bit exaggerated, but he asked casually without thinking too much.

"Your royal father was naturally worried at first, but later he realized that this person is proud and upright. What's more, with Yue'er around, he would not do anything harmful to the Tang Dynasty because of you."

Chaoyue shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid Father overestimated Yue'er, Yue'er is really incapable of this." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Mrs. Qi Guo saw that Chaoyue was still melancholy, and she still comforted softly, "My aunt experienced several emotional ups and downs when she was young. Right now, I only hope that Yue'er can get rid of her happy knot as soon as possible, and don't let the two of you drift away and let down this good marriage." While talking, she patted Chaoyue's hand lightly, then turned around and walked slowly into the vast expanse. Among the snow.
