In mid-August, the north wind has begun to blow over the grassland, winter is coming, and the first heavy snowfall in winter is probably not far away.
The herdsmen on the grassland gathered their sheep one after another and arrived at the winter destination.
On the grassland north of Yunnei, the alliance has come to an end.
………………
Li Po and Ashina Yang Huan stood opposite each other. Behind them, two thousand cavalry stood quietly on the grassland. No human sounds were heard, only the neighing of war horses occasionally came to mind.
Li Po took the lead and clasped his fists and said: "After we say goodbye today, it will be difficult to get together again. My nephew is here to say goodbye to my aunt."
Ashina Yang Huan sighed melancholy, "I have a thousand words to say, but at this moment I feel speechless. Well, that's fine, let's just say goodbye. From now on, when we exchange letters, a greeting will be enough."
Li Po still wanted to say a few words "reluctantly", but Ashina Yang Huan was very straightforward, got on his horse, looked at him condescendingly, and said sadly: "You have been living outside since you were a child, and some aunts are not surprised by your indifferent nature.
You, but you have to remember that there are many monarchs who cut off love and sex, so don’t imitate them.
In this life, a person will only go through dozens of winters and summers. If, like his cousin, he ends up alone and has no one to care about, what's the point?"
Li Po laughed, and when he got on his horse, he replied: "Don't worry, aunt, I am not a good person, but I know the difference between good and bad. I will not end up worse than Yang Guang."
Ashina and Yang Huan smiled helplessly, knowing that he was changing the subject, but did not say anything anymore. These days gathering together are a gift from God. The Yang family has a daughter, who is alive and well and has become the emperor, so what else can she ask for?
?
When the two separated, they were both persevering people and never looked back.
………………
The Turks meandered northward, but Li Po was not in a hurry to take them away. He stopped and looked around for a while, feeling a little lost.
Li Chun beside him couldn't help but asked curiously: "What did eldest brother say to her? Humph, you have only met for a few days, how come you have so much to say?"
Li Po felt a little unhappy, so he slapped the girl in the face and said, "Don't interrupt in national affairs."
Li Chun snorted and felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that even though they were gone, you were still so reluctant to leave. I don't know what your intentions were.
I need to have a good talk with my sister-in-law after I go back. My eldest brother likes princesses, queens and the like the most. Khan... although he is a bit older, you can tell he is a beauty at first glance. He is about the same age as Empress Xiao, so you have to be careful.
some……
………………
On this day, the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks ended, and Li Po led his people to return south, right on the edge of the Great Wall, and returned to the south of the Great Wall in less than half a day.
Qu Tutong led his army to greet the emperor. Both he and the leading generals breathed a sigh of relief.
This was actually the second time that the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty met the monarch of the Northern Prairie Empire at the frontier after Yang Guang met Qimin Khan Yulin.
Although the whole process tended to be dull, the tense atmosphere emanating from the air in the north and south made everyone nervous.
This unique alliance has finally come to an end. No one wants to experience it a second time. It is too dangerous and is more worrying than a personal expedition.
………………
Li Po was not in a hurry to return south, he arrived at Yunnei City first.
This is the place where he started. For a long time, people here have called Yunnei Zhao family. It is much more affectionate than Fufeng, which he has never been to before. It is more like his hometown.
And the people here did not let him down. They regarded him as a wanderer returning home in fine clothes. Everyone who heard the news of the emperor's arrival, regardless of officials or citizens, almost came in droves.
When the holy driver entered Yunnei City, the cheers of the people shook the earth, and there were many people who paid homage to him. Li Po finally saw what it was like to be greeted by a crowd of people.
Of course he can really afford it.
The Heng'an Town Army led by him saved the people of this area from the suffering of the war and allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment to this day during the great chaos in the Central Plains and the difficult moment when foreign enemies invaded the south.
Compared with the people in other places, the people here are undoubtedly lucky. At the same time, they have also sacrificed countless blood. They must have a share of Li Po's today's glory, so he is honored.
Before entering the city, Li Po first went to the Yunnei Cemetery to pay homage to several uncles and the Yunnei soldiers who died in the wars that year, and asked Cen Wenwen to read out the memorial text.
Most of the people in Yunnei who were watching the ceremony had tears in their eyes. Many of the people buried here are their relatives and friends, and the Heng'an Town Army has been guarding their heroic spirits here.
Among the densely packed tombs, even though Li Po's heart was as hard as iron, he couldn't help but feel a little sad at this time. There were too many people who died back then, and he couldn't care about the sadness at all. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he thinks back to Li Po's heroic days.
Po An sighed to himself, one general can make all the bones dry up, what the ancients said is indeed insightful.
After staying in Yunnei for two days, Li Po met with some old friends and walked around the Bahian Building from back then.
This is the place where he and Li Bi got married, and almost died here. It is indeed worth remembering. It is a pity that Li Bi will not come, otherwise he could stay in the Bamian Building for one night to find something new.
The Eight-sided Tower is no longer the Eight-sided Tower of the past. It no longer opens its doors to welcome guests, but has become a famous scenic spot in Yunnei. Many people come to Yunnei to visit it, and even pay homage to it.
A little bit of nobility or something here.
The eight-sided building is now under the care and repair of the Yunnei Wang family. The second son of Wang Qing, the governor of Bingzhou, takes care of it all year round and also serves as the county chief registrar.
………………
Two days later, Li Po left Yunneicheng. There were more people seeing him off than welcoming him. The sound of crying could be heard more than ten miles away, which made Li Po very uncomfortable. It felt like he was going to a funeral.
Ah, what the hell are you crying about?
People in my hometown are so full of emotions...
At the same time, this is also the rule of the world. The more people cry, the more popular you are. Local officials like this scene when they resign. Emperor Li Po also experienced it.
Li Po slowly went to the Yunnei Racecourse again. In fact, there was nothing to see. The grassland in the southern part of Yunnei was prosperous. It had already become the main source of war horses in the Tang Dynasty. There were many war horses, cattle and sheep everywhere, and the grassland was very comfortable.
No more.
After leaving the racecourse, the team turned west and Li Po wanted to visit Cangshui City.
It has become the main settlement area for the Turkic people within it. Tens of thousands of people live in the city, which is not considered a small town in Mayi.
The behavior of the Turkic people was different from that of the people in Yunneicheng. Wherever the holy chariot passed by, the Turkic people all bowed to the ground, as if they were worshiping gods.
This was the result of Ashina Qingyun and others' missionary work in Yunnei. In the minds of these Turkic people, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was already on par with the gods of heaven, and had a posture of being superior to the gods of heaven.
After all, the gods are sometimes ineffective and confuse people, but the emperor really controls their life and death, which is very effective...
