In the pavilion of Daye Hall, Wang Jian leaned against Song Yuzhi and let him massage his head.
Now every time he practices is a kind of torture, Wang Jian still endures it. But he is still exhausted physically and mentally. Song Yuzhi is like this, which is what he likes and relaxes the most.
Song Yuhua sat across from her and played the piano. She played the song "Laughing at the Red Dust" and it sounded like a stream. Although the rhythm was greatly changed, it still had her unique charm and was still very beautiful.
It can also be heard from it that Song Yuhua is very satisfied with her current life.
Outside the pavilion, there were three other people dancing. A dozen or so female pickers were sitting around, either playing chess or eating melon seeds and chatting, looking very leisurely.
Now it has been fifteen years since the great cause, and the Sui Ting in history exists in name only.
The South has been sorted out and is developing prosperously.
Wagang Village was also defeated by Xu Xingzhi. Zhang Xutuo and others surrounded and suppressed it.
There are tens of thousands of troops and some territory, but the momentum of conquering the world is gone.
Li Clan, Xue Ju, and Liu Wuzhou in the north seemed to be showing signs of joining forces, leaving Yang Yichen, Xue Shixiong and other Sui generals to fight on either side.
If Sui Ting hadn't sent another 50,000 Tiangang troops to support them, they might have been defeated long ago.
Dou Jiande is still in that field, and on the one hand, he is also guarding against Goryeo's attack. This guy is a wise man, but unfortunately, his background is not "upright" and he does not have the support of the famous family.
Without sufficient foundation, we can only retreat to Jizhou, with nowhere to go in the north and south.
On the other hand, the Li clan suffered heavy losses in their previous attack on Chang'an City and could only retreat to the Taiyuan area.
But soon, combined with Liu Wuzhou and other forces, plus the support of the Turks, they slowly regained their breath.
Shen Luoyan and Li Jing both continued to attack, but were blocked by Li Shimin. It had obviously turned into a tug-of-war.
Wang Jian disapproved of this and allowed the two of them to continue their attack.
This can be regarded as a sign of respect for Li Shimin, a wise king and hero of his generation. Although this will cause great losses and prolong the world's peace, he can afford to "play".
What's more, this is not a joke. He even hopes that this kind of war situation will continue. He also specially passed the imperial edict and asked Shen Luoyan and Li Jing to fight a war of attrition as much as possible.
The Turks supported the Li clan and paid a huge price for it. This may be because they saw an opportunity for horses to ride on the Central Plains, or it may be to avenge the tens of thousands of cavalry and Bixuan.
A large number of resources and soldiers came to support Li Clan and stabilized Li Clan's decline.
The situation looks good and I can hold on.
But unknowingly, the Turks have been dragged into the quagmire of war.
In many eras, the wandering people in the north looked very powerful and often went to the Central Plains to plunder, but the territorial forces in the Central Plains were often helpless.
Even later, they suffered incomparable humiliation, and were even conquered by the Jin Kingdom during the Song Dynasty. The concubines and princesses in the harem who were not killed were all marked with price tags, and became real brothel girls.
But in fact, they only look strong, but are actually very weak.
They are all robbers, not just talking about it, let alone cursing, but that is the essence.
Robbers come and go like the wind, they seem powerful, and they often cause huge damage to society.
But in fact, they always hide after doing one thing, and then wait until it is safe outside before continuing.
What they carry out is surprise attacks and mobile warfare, and they are determined not to engage in a war of attrition because they cannot afford it.
In a certain era, Mongolia was very strong, but what they implemented was a wave of currents that passed by like locusts and could not be stopped.
If you really want to block it, retreat immediately and continue next time when the enemy is not ready. Their mobility is great, and this is their only advantage.
The same goes for the Turks. If they are dragged into the quagmire of war, their national heritage will be quickly consumed.
After the Li Clan is dealt with, Wang Jian can completely send another army to the north to massacre them, wipe out their population and resources, and deplete their base, leaving them no longer a threat.
Of course, he had already thought about this army and let Li Jing from the original history go.
This military god is fighting in the domestic territory. If he can't show his awesomeness, he should attack foreign races. That's when he will become powerful in the world.
Nowadays, everything is quite stable, and Wang Jian is very leisurely. Apart from occasionally taking some time to understand the situation, most of the time he spends his time in the harem.
"emperor!"
While enjoying Song Yuzhi's massage, Song Yuhua's beautiful piano music, and the dance of the three girls, Zhu Guier walked over softly.
"What's the matter?"
"Shi Qingxuan is here."
Wang Jian was overjoyed and patted Song Yuzhi's little hand: "Yuzhi, Yuhua, I will leave for a while and come back to accompany you later."
"Your Majesty, please go quickly. I am fine."
Song Yuzhi's attitude made Wang Jian a little dissatisfied: "Yuzhi is so generous, which makes me wonder if you care about me."
Song Yuzhi was dumbfounded and looked up at Wang Jian: "What does the emperor mean by this? I have always served the emperor wholeheartedly!"
"I know, I want to tell you, don't suppress your personality. What I like most is your slightly coquettish and innocent temperament when you were in the Song family mountain city, instead of pretending to be gentle now. Your sister Yuhua is really
You are gentle, but you are pretending. It is too tiring to live like this, so why put such a big burden on yourself? What I like is the true nature, not these disguises."
Song Yuhua smiled and continued to play the piano, as if Wang Jian was not talking about her.
Song Yuzhi paused for a moment and nodded: "I understand, I understand."
"That's good, don't force yourself anymore. I have no ill feelings towards the Song clan, so you don't need to worry. Also, you are my concubine and one of the managers of the harem, so don't treat yourself badly."
He had always felt that Song Yuzhi should be like in the novel, sometimes shrewd, sometimes smart, and sometimes unruly. That was his true temperament, not the depression he was feeling now.
Song Yuzhi sniffed and her eyes were a little red: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I have an unkind invitation."
"Why are you so polite to me? You won't be like this if you haven't seen Huanwan, Qing'er, or even Feixuan. You are so bad at this, and you are very unfamiliar with me, which makes me angry."
"I know you are wrong!" Song Yuzhi sighed, "Your Majesty, my father has always wanted to fight you. I also know your strength and hope to spare my father's life when the time comes."
"So you are still thinking wildly and don't understand me. I have no ill feelings towards my father-in-law. There are too few pure warriors like him in the world. I don't even have time to pity him. How could I hurt him?"
Wang Jian followed Zhu Guier and left, while Song Yuzhi sat there blankly, with blush all over her face.
"Sister, do you think he said this because he suddenly got into the mood, or do you mean it sincerely?"
"This harem is no longer the harem you knew before, what do you think?"
Song Yuzhi smiled, this smile was unprecedentedly relaxed, which made Song Yuhua's piano music become more joyful.
