Start the Tang Dynasty: The descendant of Wei Wu from the Qin Qiong family!

Chapter 54 Encountering the Enemy on the Return
"We went all the way south without getting anything in return. Instead, we lost so many warriors."

Jie Li clenched his fists tightly.

"Since we can only retreat, let's leave his cavalry on the grassland!"

"This move will definitely hurt Li Shimin to the core!" The nobleman laughed.

All the Turkic nobles believed that those who could perform this task must be the elite of the Tang army, and there were a lot of them.

If they could be eliminated, Li Shimin would be so heartbroken that he vomited blood.

Only in this way can they barely alleviate the hatred in their hearts!

On that day, the Turkic army's offensive to break through the siege began to become fierce.

Although Li Jing and others made a lot of preparations, these Turks rushed out without fear of death, which caused them to suffer considerable losses.

People with a discerning eye have already seen that they want to return to the grassland to intercept Qin Huaiyu and others on the grassland.

Facing the fierce cavalry breakout, Li Jing and others tried their best, but still could not stop Jie Li, allowing many Turkic cavalry to break out of the ambush first.

Although the large army has not completely left, the 3 to [-] people who broke out of the encirclement were enough to annihilate Qin Huaiyu and the others.

"Now we can only hope that Qin Huaiyu and the others can sense the danger, do their best, and obey fate."

Li Jing sighed as he listened to his subordinate's report.

…………

Qin Huaiyu had no idea that such a change had occurred on Jieli's side.

After all, in his original calculation, Li Shimin would sign the alliance under the city and end it.

He never expected that some fish would slip through the net during his massacre.

On the grassland, Qin Huaiyu's return journey went very smoothly at first.

But until they encountered a cavalry covered in blood, Qin Huaiyu led his sergeants to have a battle with them.

Both sides were in a hurry and exhausted, but the Turkic cavalry was obviously more uncomfortable.

In this battle, Qin Huaiyu left behind more than 40 brothers.

"Boss, these people are probably coming back from Chang'an."

Yuchi Baolin said seriously.

"It can be seen from the injuries on these people and the curled-edged weapons that they just escaped from a battle and then returned to the grassland without stopping."

"But how come they came back alone?"

"Is he a deserter?"

Several people were discussing, completely confused as to why a cavalry force that had just left the battle suddenly appeared here.

"Although we don't know what's going on, we should be vigilant."

Qin Huaiyu said calmly.

"Now there is only one Turkic cavalry. Next, I'm afraid there will be a second and third one..."

"Of course, I don't want to say too much about the worst case scenario, you can all guess it."

Cheng Chumo and Luo Tong nodded silently.

"Now, we have to start planning our route."

Qin Huaiyu took out the map and drew on it.

"Jieli invaded the Tang Dynasty from here. He has to leave first, but I'm afraid he has to pass by here."

"So are we going to go around here?" Fang Yiai asked.

"Do not."

Du He shook his head, with a bit of madness in his eyes.

"The most dangerous places are the safest, and they will definitely think of us to avoid that."

"Not necessarily." Luo Tong objected: "The Turks may not have smart people. What if they guessed this trick?"

Several people argued again.

Qin Huaiyu did not stop them.

Several people were very calm and the suggestions they made should be considered.

"Boss, what do you think?" Du He turned around and asked.

Only then did several people realize that Qin Huaiyu had not spoken for a long time, and they all turned to look over.

Qin Huaiyu rubbed his chin.In fact, he has no idea.

Jie Li is a very domineering and authoritarian person, otherwise he would not have been overthrown in the end.

Such people usually have the problem of being stubborn.

Therefore, what Jie Lihui thinks is very important.

"If you want to know if our strategy is right, you only need to ask one person." Qin Huaiyu said.

"Who are you asking?" Cheng Chu looked at Qin Huaiyu in confusion.

Qin Huaiyu smiled mysteriously.

In the rear army.

Queen Xiao was in a daze.

In the seventh year of Daye, Yang Guang's youngest son Yang Ming died early. Not many people knew about this.

But including her, only a few people knew that Yang Ming did not die young, but that Yang Guang, who had a premonition of something bad, used the invitation to conquer Goguryeo to send Zhang Xutuo out of the palace.

I thought that this child would be raised by Zhang Xutuo, or sent to a wealthy family for adoption.

But Empress Xiao never expected that on this day more than ten years later, she would be able to see this child again.

What should she do?

Just when Queen Xiao was hesitating, Qin Huaiyu came over.

"It's been a long journey, I wonder if Queen Xiao can bear it?" Qin Huaiyu asked with concern.

"It's okay, my old bones can still hold on."

Empress Xiao smiled and continued: "Don't call me Empress Xiao. The Sui Dynasty has died, and there is no Empress Xiao in this world."

"Then I'll call you Mrs. Xiao." Qin Huaiyu thought for a while and said.

"Actually, if possible, I would rather you call me aunt..."

Queen Xiao blurted out, then shook her head wildly.

"No, no, no!"

'I can't do this. 'Queen Xiao warned herself in her heart.

People are passionate and it is easy to lose control of their emotions.

Qin Huaiyu looked at Queen Xiao and was silent for a moment.

He became more and more certain that he must have something to do with Lao Yang's family.

Otherwise, why would Queen Xiao let herself call her aunt?

This kind of close relationship is not something that can be recognized casually.

Especially for someone as empress Xiao who came from a noble family, it was even more impossible for her to be casually recognized as a relative.

"Aunt Xiao, do you know what Jie Li's personality is like?"

Qin Huaiyu thought for a long time, and finally lowered his volume and shouted.

Queen Xiao's eyes lit up.

"You want to ask how Jieli will deal with you, right?"

Queen Xiao sat there, but she controlled the whole situation as if she had a pearl of wisdom in her hand.

"Yes."

Qin Huaiyu nodded.

This woman is extraordinary. Yang Guang was able to successfully ascend to the throne because of her great efforts.

"Jie Li is an extremely conceited person. Normally, unless everyone rejects his orders, even if only a small group of people support him, he will do it to the end."

"It is precisely because of this that many tribes under his command have been very dissatisfied with him for a long time, but he himself has no idea."

Empress Xiao said seriously: "So, you must not take the wrong approach."

"The Turkic cavalry appeared here, most likely because Jieli already knew of your existence."

"With Jie Li's character, he will definitely go all out. At least he will send a large group of people to kill you, so he will not think that you are capable of breaking out of his encirclement and suppression."

Qin Huaiyu understood what Queen Xiao meant.

"So, we still have to find a way to break out of the siege first, and then take a detour back to Datang, right?"
