Badu didn't give any explanation, but Bai Song was even more uneasy. He followed Badu all the way, looking left and right, and he felt that Badu today was different from the past.
It's just that now that we have to discuss other people's armies, things are more urgent. Even if we have doubts in our hearts, we don't have time to ask any more questions.
Bai Song followed and took two steps, when suddenly someone appeared beside him, it was He Fangzhao.
"Brother He, why did you come back?"
Badu looked back at He Fangzhao, knowing that he was secretly investigating last night, but he pretended not to know and said nothing.
"Actually, I was always here last night...it's just..." He Fang swore halfway and stared at Bai Song with a half-smile but also felt strange.
"Shu Wang her..."
"The Turkic princess did not lie. She did release the young lady as agreed, and Xu Changtian took her away. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, when she told you what she said last night, I would have exposed it."
"Brother He, do you know everything that happened last night?"
He Fangzhao nodded.
Bai Song hurriedly asked: "Then I was in the accounting room last night..."
He Fangzhao chuckled: "Who knows about this? This is Brother Bai's private matter, how can we observe it in secret?"
"Observe? Could it be..."
He Fangzhao kept shaking his head and said no more.
Bai Song felt a soreness in his crotch because of his endless words, and he didn't know what he was feeling.
Just as he was thinking about it, He Fangzhu interrupted Bai Song: "Brother Bai, do you really want to stay and help the Turks?"
Bai Song looked at Badu in front of him, followed by a girl, who was helping him walk along the way, and nodded slowly.
"They are just Turks."
"Turks are also human beings, no different from us. You know, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Helping them here may also be helping the war between the two countries thousands of miles away."
He Fangzhu didn't understand Bai Song's previous words, but he still agreed with the latter one.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend. The internal fighting between the Turks is of great help to the war between the two countries. They help the weaker party. Even if they cannot consume the power of the Turks, it is a good thing to hold back a small group of troops.
He Fangzhao had just made plans when he heard Bai Song say: "This matter has nothing to do with Brother He. Brother He can go after Shu Wang."
"Brother Bai, what are you talking about? Could it be that you underestimated He?"
"Brother He, I heard that you have been Shu Wang's guard. Now that Shu Wang has left, as a guard, you should be more concerned about Shu Wang's safety."
"The young lady is accompanied by Xu Changtian. He is a cautious person. If he only wants to send the young lady back, I believe there will be no danger. I swear I don't have Brother Bai's ingenuity, but I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He stayed here for no other reason. Yes, at least I can help Brother Bai when he is in danger."
Bai Song felt a little relieved. The reason why he said this was to see what He Fangzhao was thinking in his heart.
There will be many dangers next. Bai Song, alone in the Turk camp, feels very uneasy. It will be more secure if there is a master beside him to take care of him. I am afraid that my heart is not here, my thoughts are elsewhere, and it is very dangerous to not be united in times of crisis.
Knowing He Fangzhao's intentions, Bai Song said seriously: "Since Brother He has said so, I am no longer polite. Now I have something that I want Brother He to do for me."
"What's the matter? But it doesn't matter."
"Our group has been separated for a long time. I think they will come towards Boye if they can't find anyone. Brother He can go out to search, and by the way, you can also inquire about the situation of the Turkic troops ahead."
He Fangzhu nodded, turned and left the team.
Then, Bai Song followed Baduo to the Aji tribe's military tent.
Although the Turks were hostile to the Tang Dynasty, the furnishings of the military tents were influenced by the Tang Dynasty. They were exactly the same as those in Li Jing's army. Even the standing postures of several generals were the same.
Bai Song sat next to Batu. Now the Turks themselves were discussing, and Bai Song couldn't intervene.
Bai Song didn't say a word in the army, but he saw that several generals in the tent did not welcome his appearance.
Their faces lost the enthusiasm from last night, but they had cold eyes. It seemed that Bai Song's appearance made everyone feel unhappy.
Baduo didn't pay attention, he just told them what they saw along the way and told everyone about the threats they faced.
When discussing matters in the army, Badu showed no signs of weakness and maintained a superior attitude while talking to everyone.
Bai Song looked at it and felt that this girl really looked like a clan leader.
But the Turkic people's discussion did not last long. Baduo suddenly turned around and took Bai Song's hand, asked Bai Song to stand up, and said something to several Turkic generals.
Before Bai Song could understand, a general below suddenly scolded him twice, ignored the rules, opened the curtain and walked out of the military tent.
Obviously, what Badu said irritated everyone and made them feel very dissatisfied.
"What's wrong?" Bai Song asked.
Badu frowned, but shook his head and responded in a deep voice: "Nothing."
Soon, the other generals also expressed their dissatisfaction, and after saying this, they all left the military tent.
There was no one in the camp, so Bai Song asked what was going on again.
Badu's face turned red with anger. He was about to leave the camp to chase after him, but was pulled back by Bai Song.
"What's going on? You asked me to stay and didn't tell me anything. How can I ask anyone to help you?"
"These bastards! They actually don't listen to the clan leader's arrangements! I asked them to obey your arrangements from now on, but I didn't expect their reaction to be so violent."
"Ask them to obey my arrangements? Aren't you causing trouble for yourself? They are Turks, how can they obey the arrangements of a Han? If it were me, I would react the same way. You have just taken over as the patriarch, and you are a woman. They were originally Even if they are dissatisfied, your decision will only make them more dissatisfied. The thing is very simple, you only need to tell me the situation, I will help you make suggestions, and then pass on my methods through your orders. In this way There won't be any problems. Ajibado, you are also a smart girl, how could you make such a confused decision at this time?"
Badu frowned and whispered: "I don't want you to be just a person who makes suggestions... I want you to become a hero for everyone in the clan."
Bai Song was a little surprised and suddenly didn't know what to say.
After one night, Bai Song looked at the woman in front of him again, and there was always an unexplainable feeling in his heart.
The two looked at each other in silence. Baduo smiled at first: "Okay, don't worry about it anymore. This is my decision. If they don't obey now, I will always find a way to make them obey."
"No problem, I will also find a way to make them obey!"
These words made Badu a little surprised. He would never have thought that this man who was supposed to be opposed would suddenly stand on his side.
With one eye contact, the two suddenly had a tacit understanding, as if they both understood each other better.
"Tell me, what are your plans now?"
"Where's your map?" Badu asked.
Bai Song took out the map he had brought along and spread it out in front of the two of them.
Badu pointed at the map and said seriously: "Jieli Khan's army pressed into Yunzhou, and the battle line once again advanced forty miles towards the Tang Dynasty. On the surface, Jieli Khan had an absolute advantage, but in fact It's because the war situation continues to approach the Tang Dynasty, and our Turkic country's supply lines are getting longer and longer.
In order to support the frontline fighting, the Turkic country has exhausted all supplies. Not only are there not enough supplies, there are also not enough manpower to transport them. I heard that all the major tribes in the south had no food. The Aji tribe was not the only tribe that was dissatisfied with Jieli Khan. In order to stabilize the rear, Jieli Khan was the first to inform my father, hoping that my father would take the initiative to go to the army. He handed over all the cattle and sheep in the tribe, and mobilized the old, weak, women and children in the tribe to join the team of transporting supplies.
My father was already tired of the war, so how could he let the old, weak, women and children in the clan join the fight? Jieli Khan's request was rejected as early as January. Therefore, Jieli Khan began to bribe the troops of the Aji tribe fighting abroad, and also bribed some men in the current tribe to let them stir up trouble.
I don’t know the exact circumstances of my father’s death, but from what I know now, I suspect that someone in the clan framed him and hastened his death. The hurried succession ceremony of the clan leader last night can explain everything. Nagupa was also taken advantage of, and now several people have sneaked away. "
"I see that most of the clan members are women. How much fighting power do they still have?"
"There are currently less than 600 warriors in the clan, and the remaining 4,000 old, weak, women and children..."
"Four thousand old, weak, women and children?"
Bai Song frowned, as Baduo said, it was impossible for him to leave the royal court with his clan members. Given the speed of these old, weak, women and children, sooner or later they would be overtaken by the pursuers behind them.
"Do you also know the difficulty now?" Badu smiled bitterly, "I want you to master the remaining 600 people. Not only do I want you to become a hero, but I also hope that you can lead them to defeat our enemies."
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"There are 1,200 people. Half of them are soldiers from our Aji tribe and half are soldiers from the Jieli tribe."
"Twice the difference."
"That's right, it's twice the difference. There is also a Turkic warrior who is the best among them. He can withstand a thousand people by himself."
"You really think highly of me, and you actually thought of asking me to lead your people."
"You always have a way! Think about that woman named Shu Wang. If it weren't for you, how could she be alive? You have the courage and persistence that we Turkic people most admire, and you are not lacking in wisdom. With you leading my people, I feel relieved.”
Bai Song had a bitter look on his face: "I have never led troops, and I don't have that kind of ability."
"I have to give it a try."
"But now there is a question. Since half of the opponent's troops are members of your Aji tribe, are you ready to kill each other with your own tribe? And the people here are also ready to kill each other. ?”
Speaking of this, Baduo fell into deep thought with some embarrassment.
Bai Song is right to say that this is the most difficult thing about Baduo.
Killing one's own race is a taboo among the Aji people, and the way she regained people's hearts with one arrow last night was based on her belief in not killing one's own race.
If one day later the people of the same clan start fighting against each other, the hearts that have just been gathered together will definitely fall apart.
