"Your Majesty."

Empress Xiao bowed.

Li Kuan glanced at her and nodded: "Why are you free?" ”

Empress Xiao pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Your Majesty, I heard that our army has won a complete victory, and you have also sent people to the Turkic royal court to arrest people, and you have succeeded in a great way. ”

"The concubine wants to....see if the concubine can intercede for the sake of the concubine's contribution to this battle."

She came this time to think of Princess Yicheng.

Now over half a hundred years old,

The relatives around her died one after another, and only her grandson was still under Li Kuan's control, and she could let Li Kuan give Li Kuan some time to meet from time to time.

In addition, there is a princess Yicheng, who is her relative.

And the merit in the words is because at the beginning, Empress Xiao was captured by Li Kuan, even if she suffered physical and mental trauma, she also fantasized about being rescued one day.

But....

Just like back then, when Princess Yicheng was sent to the Turks when she was young, there was a great deal of disappointment.

Especially when she saw the rapid development of Yanyun City, every day there were high-rise buildings planned for construction, factory construction, and even army recruitment, and every day when she slept and got up, she could see a different scene.

It can be said that here in Yanyun City, it is the biggest miracle she has ever seen in her life.

The stronger Yanyun City became, the more desperate she became.

In the end,

He didn't have the intention of escaping, so he became the concubine of the king of Chu with peace of mind.

After all, women have no choice in this troubled world.

There's no way around it.

And her mental journey is similar to that of Princess Yicheng back then, from the very beginning of hating the Turks, despairing, and then accepting and becoming a Turk.

Now, she has also become a Great Yan person.

If you can't beat it, join in.

is happy to make plans for Da Yan, as long as Li Kuan needs it.

It's not.

A year ago, Li Kuan had consulted with her about planting spies for the Turks.

Empress Xiao refused at first, and Li Kuan went out with a cold face that night.

Afterwards, Empress Xiao thought that she was sending someone under the fence, and her grandson's life was also something that the King of Chu said casually, so after a night of kicking and thinking, she finally agreed to the proposal of the King of Chu.

They were unanimous.

and took advantage of this to act out a play, and sent the closest maid Ah Li to Da Yan and placed her next to Princess Yicheng.

During this time,

Da Yan knows the Turkic news well, and Ah Li is in it, which can be said to have played a lot of credit.

And even more!

This time, after Zhang Liao led his troops to the depths, he obviously had never been to the Turkic steppe, but he was able to reach the Turkic court quickly and accurately, which was all due to Ah Li.

It was she who saw and depicted with her own eyes during this time, and the map she sent back made Zhang Liao feel like he had a God's perspective.

So.

Just now, Empress Xiao said that it was for her own credit.

"This matter, Concubine Xiao....you shouldn't know what Yicheng looked like when I was a proton, right?"

Li Kuan spoke calmly.

This remark made Empress Xiao's heart tremble, she had already known what Li Kuan meant, and this was to be investigated to the end.

"Your Majesty, Concubine ....Concubine ...."

Empress Xiao stuttered for a long time, and she didn't know how to convince Li Kuan.

Or rather,

Even if he was pregnant with Li Kuan's child, he knew that he had no qualifications and status, so Li Kuan changed his mind.

The so-called mother is more expensive than the child,

As long as Du Ruyan and her children survive for a day, they will never have the right to speak in her concubine room.

Even if....the kid was just a girl.

And even more,

Empress Xiao felt that King Chu liked his daughter more than his son.

"Well, no more need to say."

Li Kuan shook his hand and said loudly: "I will treat your face and entertain Princess Yicheng well, you can rest assured." ”

Empress Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty." ”

Although I don't know if Li Kuan will do what he said, at least he gave a promise.

And this,

is also her concubine who has no status, and the only one left who can help Princess Yicheng is left.

The matter is confirmed.

Empress Xiao had nothing else to do, so she stepped back.

As soon as Empress Xiao left, the two people who were waiting outside the door quickly ran in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hahaha, the minister loves you to death!"

"Your Majesty, how do you know that we are lacking these efforts now, hahaha, Your Majesty, you are really a charcoal in the snow."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, leave it all to us."

“.……”

The two shouted, extremely excited.

When Li Kuan heard this, he and Zheng Chenggong, Qi Jiguang and others all looked over.

The people who came were He Shen and Zhao Yuan.

The two of them were originally engaged in the economy in Liaodong City.

But after hearing the news of the great defeat of the Turks and the capture of many prisoners, they rushed directly by carriage.

The Ministry of Industry and the head office, the two mainstays of the development of Dayan, now lack labor the most, and it is also labor that restricts their development.

Now it's all right.

When they heard that His Majesty had captured 1,500 Turks, they were really stunned.

That soul almost went straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai!

It's so sour!

Rejoice!

The whole person is going to jump.

Although 15,000 laborers are not much, with their phalanx of laborers to the death, 15,000 laborers can give full play to the work capacity of 45,000 people in the Tang Dynasty.

Equivalent to one top three.

And almost all the Turks captured this time were Turkic boys.

That's great news!

He Shen and Zhao Yuan, one wants labor, and the other wants to use these people to fill various gaps, such as Li Shizhen, the medicine man of Li Taiyi, exploring the path to the north of Liaodong City, the danger level of the unknown area, and so on.

are slaves that need to be consumed sustainably.

Therefore, the two of them can now be said to be the most excited people in Dayan, even more excited than Li Kuan.

Li Kuan looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing.

"He Shen, Zhao Yuan, the two of you, your nose is really smart."

"But....you're here, too, just in time, divide it.

"This group of people, after all, is going to shine in your hands."

He Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you give me all of them?" Let our Ministry of Engineering and the head office manage it in a unified manner. ”

Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes: "And my lord, why don't you say that you will give us the ministry first, study it or something." ”

"Your Ministry of Industry is short of people, but we are also short of people, don't you know, now Qingzhou is already our big fire, everywhere needs this economy to be built quickly."

"But now, there is a shortage of labor everywhere, there are even fewer people digging coal, and we are constantly recruiting workers, so we can't oppress the Han people, right?"

He Shen glared: "I said Lord Zhao, the Ministry of Industry is not enough!" Municipal projects in major cities, as well as the upcoming spring, everything needs manpower. ”

Zhao Yuan: "I...."

Now.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Kuan pinched his forehead and waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel."

"I will give you a share of this man."

The voice fell.

He Shen and Zhao Yuan immediately came up, extremely respectful.

It's also extremely eager.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Li Kuan glanced at them.

"Of these 15,000 people, 10,000 of them will be put in Qingzhou, there are many coal mines in Qingzhou, and the quality of coal mines there is better than that of Yanyun City."

"With the support of coal mines, industries such as steel mills and machinery factories can also be established one after another and experiments can be carried out."

"And....radiate the entire Great Yan Technology iteration."

In a word, two-thirds of it was directly gone.

He Shen's face tightened, and he immediately collapsed.

However, Zhao Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he kept nodding.

"Heshen, don't worry, those craftsmen are all in your hands, right? Those craftsmen were skilled craftsmen of the highest ranks, and they were much better than these Turkic slaves. ”

"I will divide your 3,000 people, plus those craftsmen, and as for the remaining 2,000 people, the court will look at the situation and dispatch them at that time."

Li Kuan spoke slowly.

And with Li Kuan's words, He Shen and Zhao Yuan didn't dare to quarrel anymore.

"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's go and rest early."

"By the way, General Qi, take advantage of this dark day to hurry up and clean up those bones outside the city, as well as the official roads that have been pierced by arrows, clean up what should be cleaned up, and what should be leveled should be leveled quickly."

"In addition, an edict was issued, a Turkic slave can go to the steppe to catch three dollars, and now the Turks are almost scattered, we have to pursue Chen Sheng, and we can't let them ease their breath."

"And they suffered such a big defeat, coupled with the changes in the Turkic royal court, it is estimated that the various departments will not be so easy to regroup, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to make a fortune."

Li Kuan commanded.

Qi Jiguang immediately received the order and quickly retreated.

Seeing that things were almost as ordered, Li Kuan also dismissed everyone, and then walked to his palace.

This point, it's not early.

He also wants to tease his daughter, as well as report safety to his wife Du Ruyan.

He's fine, Yanyun City....is also fine.

….….….….….….

It was a somewhat cloudy night.

The stars and the moon are missing.

In the abandoned military camp of Yanyun City.

Princess Yicheng, Ah Li, Princess Yicheng's personal maid and other female streamers, these people gathered around and trembled.

It's okay during the day,

But at night, the temperature drops immediately.

Not to mention that when the tiger and leopard rode back, it was in the early hours of the morning, and they didn't even wear clothes, and many of them were captured alive in their sleep.

The clothes on the body are very thin.

"Your Highness the Princess, what should we do?"

There was a maid with her arms crossed, squatting in the corner, looking at Princess Yicheng with a pale face.

Just as Jieli Khan is the leader of the major tribes and the spiritual leader, Princess Yicheng is also their leader at this moment.

Princess Yicheng took a deep breath, her whole person couldn't help but tremble, she swallowed with difficulty, forgot to look at the maid who spoke, and found that her eyes were full of despair.

Of course, they also heard the news of the Turkic defeat.

"What else can I do? I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that this guy King Chu would establish....establish such a strong national strength in such a short period of time. ”

"I should have understood the truth that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and I should have understood that he Li Shimin is so capable, and his son should not be underestimated, since he became a proton, he can't let him breathe, and kill him directly!"

"If that were the case, there wouldn't be so much going on now."

Princess Yoshishi's teeth itch with hatred.

She really never imagined that she would kill her, that one day Da Yan would be so powerful, and the King of Chu would be so powerful.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled bitterly.

Regret it!

They regret it too!

The wives of some clan heads regret it even more!

At that time, they should also persuade Princess Yicheng to directly eliminate the King of Chu.

"Before, ridiculous, I thought that I could still train the king of Chu to be a slave of the Turks, just like me, and then I could become an outlet for insulting the Tang Dynasty, and I could be a tool man who made the Tang Dynasty unable to raise his head for decades, but as a result, hey...."

Princess Yicheng sighed heavily.

She is now a little numb.

Completely gone, the struggle and unwillingness when I was just captured.

The Turks have a 100,000-strong army!

Lakh!

But even Yanyun City didn't come in, and 20,000 died directly, and then 15,000 were captured, tens of thousands of people were scattered, and only a few people went back in the end.

It is estimated that there are no more than 30,000.

How arrogant and arrogant it was when it came, and how ridiculous and miserable it was when it collapsed.

The Turkic army?

Even if it's a pig,

100,000 pigs, let the Great Yan army kill and catch, and they have to be scratched for a day or even a few days.

But....now it's good!

One day!

Just one day!!

Da Yan caught fifteen thousand Turkic soldiers, and when Princess Yicheng heard the news, she didn't believe it.

She thought it was outrageous.

She thought that this was Da Yan fighting against him.

It's a war with the Tang Dynasty again, and it's a surprise attack on the Turkic royal court, and can you still have troops to defend the 100,000 army?

Dream on!

This is to break through her psychological defense line and make her willingly become a slave of Da Yan!

Then.

She also thought that Jieli Khan would bring an army of 100,000 to save her.

But now, she was in despair.

Jieli Khan doesn't know whether he lives or dies, can he still count on this group of remnants to defeat and take Yanyun City again? Break the Great Flame?

No way!

No way at all!

Not to mention, with 20,000 killed in one day, what Turkic people would dare to attack? Without!

Princess Yicheng is numb.

Completely numb!

She crouched there stunned, staring blankly at the night.

Ah Li next to him smiled bitterly.

She tightened her clothes, looked at the other captives in the abandoned barracks who were crying, silent, begging for mercy, and screaming, and couldn't help but bow her head.

.

…….….….….….

When the sun reappeared on the second day.

Yanyun City is in chaos, and it is completely chaotic.

Without him,

Just because the city gate was opened, the results of yesterday's battle were completely three-dimensional.

Outside the city gates.

After a night of cleaning, it was just a superficial layer.

There were still countless corpses embedded in the dirt, and the smell of blood was still pungent.

Despite the Great Yan Army,

Rinsed with water over and over again.

But it still can't be cleaned up.

Hundreds of people came out, curious, and saw it with their own eyes.

"Holy damn me, really! Yesterday's result was true, we really wiped out the Turks and defeated the Turks! My God, yesterday I thought His Majesty was fooling us! ”

"This, I can't believe it, this is really more outrageous than bragging, how is it possible? How is this possible! ”
