Chapter 603 Wang Ting retreats north

Faced with Li Jing's threat, the Turkic royal court was also preparing to retreat north. For a moment, the entire royal court was in chaos. The wives and livestock from various tribes had to leave first, and Jie Li wanted to lead most of the men to form a large army to cut off the rear to prevent the Tang army from attacking. He even took the initiative to face the enemy, in order to confuse the Tang army and withdraw smoothly.

Zhao Deyan left the Turkic court that night, and Jie Li also sent a confidant general to lead a cavalry to Dingxiang with him. If Empress Xiao was unwilling to follow them to retreat north, Jie Li asked Zhao Deyan to tie the people up even if they were tied up. Of course, it was limited to Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao and their grandchildren. As for the lives and death of the others, Jie Li didn't care at all.

However, although Zhao Deyan left, his wife Yang stayed, which made Jie Li feel more at ease. Moreover, when Zhao Deyan left, he also ordered Yang to pack up his things. On the same day Zhao Deyan left, Yang also retreated north with the old and weak in the tribe.

It was already late at night. Yang had been riding in the carriage for a day and felt that his body was almost disintegrating. Moreover, because he was in a hurry to travel, he didn't have time to set up a tent at night. Therefore, even aristocratic women like her were resting in the carriage.

However, although she was very tired, Yang could not sleep because she was also worried about the safety of her family, especially her grandmother and younger brother. Yang and Yang Zhengdao were actually the same mother. If the Sui Dynasty was still there, she would at least be a princess. However, her years of displaced have already made her give up the identity of the emperor and noble, and just want a stable life.

"I don't know how my husband is. I hope he can take my grandmother and younger brother and others smoothly!" After a long time, Yang, who was lying in the car, suddenly murmured to himself. She only knew that Zhao Deyan would pick up her grandmother and others, and did not know about the previous conversation between Jie Li and Zhao Deyan, so she thought that Zhao Deyan would take all the people on Queen Xiao's side.

In fact, Yang's mood was very conflicted at this time. On the one hand, she hoped that Empress Xiao and others could retreat to the north smoothly. On the other hand, she didn't want to retreat north because she knew that the conditions in the north were bad, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. However, the former Sui remnants of Empress Xiao's side had never been favored by the Turks. After arriving in the north, they would definitely lack food and clothing. At that time, they would not know how many people would die of cold and hunger.

When Yang thought of the above, her mood became even heavier. She even suddenly had a somewhat rebellious thought in her heart. Maybe if her grandmother and the others were captured by the Tang army, the situation might be better. As long as the Tang Dynasty did not kill them, they could live in the Tang Dynasty. In comparison, the situation in the Central Plains is much better than on the grassland.

Thinking of the Central Plains, Yang's face also showed a bit of entanglement. It was her hometown. However, when she left the Central Plains, she was too young and had a vague memory of her childhood. She only heard some older people talk about the situation in the Central Plains. After marrying Zhao Deyan, she also heard him talk about the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, especially the prosperity of the big city of Chang'an. She also yearns for it very much. She even dreamed several times that she had dreamed that she had returned to Chang'an.

However, the above can only be thought about in Yang's mind. She is now married to Zhao Deyan. As Jie Li's most beloved Han minister, Zhao Deyan could not return to the Central Plains at all, otherwise there would be only a dead end. Moreover, she still has to escape to the north and is getting farther and farther away from Chang'an. Maybe she will never go back to see this capital built by her grandfather in this life.

"Dongdongdongdongdong~" Just as Yang was lying there and was thinking about it, she suddenly went outside and knocked on her own carriage. This made her sit up and whisper, "Who is outside?"

"Madam, don't be surprised. Before leaving, I'll send me to escort my wife away!" The person outside responded in a low voice, and said, and threw a letter from the window.

Yang heard the sound outside very familiar, as if it was a guard beside Zhao Deyan. He also called Zhao Deyan a gentleman, so he must be trusted by Zhao Deyan, which also made her feel much more at ease. He picked up the letter and opened it and found that it was Zhao Deyan's handwritten letter. There was not much content on the letter, but she didn't have to doubt the people outside and just follow the other party's arrangements.

Yang trusted Zhao Deyan very much, but she was still a little surprised at this time. After reading the letter, she asked again: "Husband asked me to follow your arrangements. What do you want to do?"

"Madam doesn't need to know too much. Mr. He is still waiting for you to reunite, so you just need to listen to your subordinates' arrangements. Now you can change this set of clothes quickly and leave here with us!" The guard outside said, and threw a pack of clothes in through the window. When Yang opened it, he found that it was a set of clothes that the guards usually wore, with fur and helmets, which looked very ordinary.

Faced with this situation, Yang hesitated for a moment and quickly decided to believe Zhao Deyan's arrangement. After changing his clothes, he opened the car door. As a result, there were three guards standing outside, all of whom Zhao Deyan trusted the most before, and there were several horses. It seemed that they had already prepared.

"Madam, get on the horse, we have already arranged it. Now we will leave the camp from the southwest corner and then take a detour to Dingxiang. Mr. He will wait for his wife to reunite!" At this time, the guard in the lead spoke again. Yang grew up on the grassland, not as slutty as an ordinary woman. He also flew on the horse at the moment. Then the group quietly walked towards the southwest of the camp under the cover of the night.

There were too many people in the Turkic royal court, and when they retreated north, they were divided into many camps. For example, the camp where Yang and the others were mainly the noble family. Even Jie Li's own wife and children were here. There were also guards around the camp, so it was difficult for people outside to get close to it, but it was not easy for people inside to go out.

However, Zhao Deyan's guard had already arranged everything. When they brought Yang to the southwest corner of the camp, the patrol team here had been transferred, so they also left the camp smoothly and rushed towards Dingxiang as quickly as possible. However, Yang was very curious about Zhao Deyan's real intention at this time and inquired with the guards many times, but the other party kept silent and refused to reveal any slightest remark.

At the same time, Zhao Deyan also brought people to camp on a grassland at this time. They would not be able to reach Dingxiang until tomorrow afternoon at the latest, so they could only sleep here today, but that would be fine, because he is also facing a problem now and needs time to solve it.
