Chapter 23 A kite

Hearing Jie Li's withdrawal of his troops, many Turkic people shouted unwillingly: "Khan, kill us."

"Yes, kill it!"

"Kill it!"

...

"Needless to say, retreat!" The thousand people on hand were equal to half of his strength, and Jie Li was not willing to hurt him no matter what. Zhao Deyan's words undoubtedly reminded him. Based on the situation he just saw, it would be impossible to capture this hillside unless he had the patience to spend several days to attack slowly, hundreds of people would have to die. But not to mention several days, he would not have been able to do so even half a day. If he had been interrupted, he would have to suffer the chaos. If Jie Li had no such energy, he would not have escaped in the battle of Mayi.

Although many Turkic people were unwilling, Khan's orders could not be changed. In a short while, a thousand Turkic people retreated completely. The ambush of the Turkic people was obviously so terrible. Except for the moans of several wounded men and the countless horse hoof prints left on the ground, nothing seemed to have happened.

Seeing the Turkic people retreat, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief and felt very regretful. This Turkic people were undoubtedly far more elite than the government troops he led. If he was ambushed, he might have been completely destroyed in a short time. Unfortunately, he did not delay him this time. With this Turkic army causing trouble, the speed of destroying the Eastern Turkic people will undoubtedly slow down greatly in the future.

Han Shiyi was very anxious. If he was the commander-in-chief of this team, he would definitely order a pursuit without hesitation. However, Li Jing suppressed Han Shiyi's thoughts and could only watch the Turks retreat: "Why not pursue?" Han Shiyi and Li Jing almost started arguing.

"Chasing, do you want our entire army to be destroyed?" Li Jing asked back.

"The entire army is destroyed, just rely on them?" Han Shiyi snorted softly: "I can at least resist......"

Thinking of the terrible riding and shooting of the ten Turkic people, Han Shiyi gradually felt guilty and his voice became smaller and smaller. These ten people looked just an ordinary Turkic team. If they left the high ground to fight such elite Turkic cavalry, Han Shiyi would not say that they could win no matter how arrogant they were.

Shortly after the Turks retreated, the two teams of Sui troops who received the news had already arrived. However, they could not even see the shadow of the Turks. When they heard Li Jing's narration, they looked at several Sui troops who died under the Turks' arrows. Several owners were also shocked. Information about the Turkish cavalry appeared and quickly spread to the rear.

Although several people were killed or injured by the Sui army, Jie Li's ambush was basically bankrupt in strategic terms. The Sui army who received the warning became cautious. Jie Li then ambushed several times. Although he gave the Sui army a large number of killings, he did not achieve the goal of annihilation of a single Sui army at once. They were all rushed to rescue the siege by the Sui army behind.

The experiences of the teams behind made Li Jing's subordinates feel how lucky they were. The teams attacked by the Turks had at least more than 100 casualties. One team almost destroyed the entire army in less than half an hour. Fortunately, the people behind them were in time to reinforce the Turks in time, and nearly 300 people were killed or injured in the end.

Although Jie Li did not wipe out a team of Sui army, which was not enough to deter the Sui army from shrinking, their attacks still caused considerable losses to the Sui army, and the Sui army's speed of sweeping the grasslands slowed down. However, Jie Li's life also became more difficult. In response to Jie Li's attack, the Sui army began to set up ambush. If it weren't for the Harrier Eagle from the sky, Jie Li almost stepped into the ambush circle set up by the Sui army several times. Even if he escaped in time, the team suffered losses. After more than ten battles, Jie Li's 1,000 troops quickly reduced to more than 800.

This is a game of cat-catching mice. The Sui army was undoubtedly the cat, and the thousand Turkic spirit cavalry led by Jie Li became mice. Once Jie Li could not persist, even if he escaped, the situation of the Eastern Turks would become even more difficult.

Now June is coming, and the weather is getting hotter and the capital is as prosperous as ever. These days, you can see the selected girls from some places entering Beijing almost every day. Although these girls are sitting in carriages with carriage curtains, whenever there are carriages with beautiful women entering Beijing, some people can't help but stand on both sides with their necks stretched out to watch, guessing how the girl in the car looks and which state prefecture chooses to be the most beautiful girl. Occasionally, when the breeze blows the curtains open, people on the roadside can't help but exclaim.

The palace became even more lively. There were hundreds of people in the palace all at once, and there were girls aged thirteen to seventeen. They were childlike. When they first entered the palace, they were surprised and became chattering when they saw everything. Some people left home for the first time, and their hearts were panicked, mixed with it but became extremely silent.

Yang Yong was wearing an imperial robe and was walking in the imperial garden. He was following the imperial concubine Yun Meier. The two of them walked hand in hand. The eunuchs and palace maids behind him were not afraid to show up, for fear of disturbing the interests of the emperor and the imperial concubine. Everyone knew that the emperor rarely took a day to play.

With the current state of the Sui Dynasty, if Yang Yong did nothing, just ate, drink, play or was addicted to women, the Sui Dynasty would have a lifespan of at least a hundred years. It would be difficult to achieve the level of prodigality like Yang Guang who had only been emperor for more than ten years and lost the world.

But of course Yang Yong would not do this. If he traveled through time just to change his destiny and left for decades of eating, drinking and having fun, then this travel was too valuable. Since God gave him a chance, even if he could not pass on the Sui Dynasty forever, he would at least try to extend its lifespan and try to bring some changes to future generations so that the Chinese nation will not suffer so many disasters in the future.

However, it is impossible to keep Yang Yong diligent. What fun is there to be if he becomes an emperor and is busy with official duties every day? Yang Yong is not a saint, so he will naturally not refuse what he should enjoy. For example, this talent show, he was only facing three wives and concubines who had been with him from the East Palace, and he felt a little guilty, so he took time to accompany him.

Yun Meier is already thirty-six years old, and her eldest son Yang Yan is already twenty years old, but her face is still as delicate as white jade, and there is no wrinkles at all. She is now wearing goose yellow, with a white ribbon wrapped around her waist, highlighting her slender waist, and her front bra lace opens to reveal part of her white skin, almost revealing her towering peaks. She wears a beaded hairpin on her head, and the pearlescent light is flashing, which makes her look elegant and luxurious, mature and beautiful.

This kind of dress was somewhat influenced by Hu Feng. In Yang Yong's memory, Dugu, as a noble Turkic daughter, never dressed like this. Yang Yong never restricted how to dress in the harem. Yun Meier dressed like this undoubtedly spent less effort and to please herself, Yang Yong was happy to enjoy it.

Yun Meier's face has always had a sweet smile. Since Yang Yong ascended the throne, although she has been promoted from a prince's concubine to a noble concubine and moved into a larger palace, Yang Yong has been busy with political affairs and has not much time to miss the harem. Her two sons are not around, which makes her feel even more silent than when she was in the Eastern Palace. A few days ago, she saw countless beautiful girls entering the palace to choose a concubine for her husband, and she felt even more uncomfortable. Although her face is still there, she will grow old one day. How to face the competition of young women in the future? It's just that the emperor's talent show, she can't stop her even if she has resentment. She can only warn herself to think as much as possible.

"Yan'er has been in Jiangnan for a long time. When will Minshang ask him to come back?"

Yang Yong knew in his heart that Yun Meier must be testing her own feelings. Since ascending the throne, many ministers have been calling for Yang Yong to be appointed as the crown prince, but Yang Yong has always suppressed the memorial to call for the crown prince.

The queen has no son, so according to the principle of establishing a eldest son but not a young son, she should naturally make Yang Yan the crown prince. However, although Yang Yong is a time traveler, he may not be so clean and neat about how to choose his heir. Will the position of the crown prince be confirmed early and will it really be beneficial to the stability of the court?

It may not be so. Yang Yong really doesn't want his son to kill each other for the throne one day. Before solving this problem, Yang Yong will not rush to confirm who is the crown prince. However, Yang Yong is not angry about Yun Meier's temptation. How much a mother cares about her son should be: "Since the beloved concubine misses him, I will just send an order to summon him back."

"Seriously? Master, that's great." Yun Mei'er was a little excited like a little girl. The emperor now has only three descendants, two of whom were born to her. According to the principle, the prince would not fail, but Yun Mei'er was not sure of it. After all, Yuan Xing'er's relationship with the queen is too close. Now, he is happy to hear that the emperor is willing to transfer his eldest son back.

A kite flew down from the air shakingly. The target was aiming at the emperor and Yun Meier who were talking, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving behind were shocked and hurriedly reminded: "Master, something has flew down, something has flew down."

Yang Yong reached out to pick up the flying kite. The kite was made of bamboo and fine silk, and flowers and birds were embroidered on the silk, appearing vividly, as if it could spread its wings and fly.

"Good embroidery." Yang Yong praised and asked, "Where did the kite come from?"

Before the eunuch's question and answer, Yun Meier's tone was already sour: "Your Majesty, do you still need to ask? It must be done by those beautiful girls."
