Chapter 1459: Finally leaving
"No, Your Highness, the slave and maid are not going anywhere, the slave and maid are ......"
Li Hui seemed to be an extremely loyal person, and on the one hand, he rejected Li Yu's kindness, and on the other hand, he prepared an army with great fanfare.
"Please get on your horse as soon as possible and leave this place!"
"Where is not the place of right and wrong? Since you are here, there is nothing to regret, life is life, death is death, everything is not so important. ”
Li Yu's attitude was crucial, but the deposed prince did not have the widespread support of the army, so less than 10% of the people who planned to stay with him were left.
This is the desert Gobi, and if you stay, you may not be able to live, but if you give up hope, thousands of them will have to die without a place to bury.
"Li Hui, you must get out alive, live, and take people out, you know?"
By this time, the army had almost fallen apart, each with its own handful of men.
For example, Li Hui, although he was a eunuch, the people under him trusted each other very much, so about 5,000 people did not join the ranks of the fugitives.
If you don't flee, you choose to stay, and staying is obviously extremely difficult, from supplies to military morale.
The problem of supply is not big, the materials and food in the army cannot be taken away, so they are all stayed, Li Hui and others have been in charge of transportation and preservation, and now they are raising their arms, and there are not a few people who obey orders.
"Your Highness may not know that the slave maid and others have always been dissatisfied with the person selected by His Highness to lead the army, so they have retained the previous temporary expansion of the establishment without authorization, and there are about a few thousand people. When Dugu Liangzuo was in turmoil, they didn't choose to rebel, and now when it is time to employ people, they are willing to protect His Highness!"
Li Yu nodded, he couldn't imagine that there were still people around him who dared to do anything, even he himself had given up for a long time, and these people still refused to give up, which was really admirable.
However, admiration is admiration, and he still has no intention of advancing and retreating with these people.
"Dahe can't stop the Shenwu Army, if you want to live, organize people to leave as soon as possible, otherwise once you are attacked from inside and outside, you won't be able to run away even if you want to, you know? Don't be lucky, the Shenwu Army is far more powerful than you think, no one knows why Qin Jin used troops like ghosts and gods, maybe only God knows......"
"How can Your Highness grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? The soldiers still have the determination to fight, and if they dare to come, we will dare to fight, and it is a big deal that people will die in the sky!"
This is a bit funny, where is the eunuch still have any eggs?
Li Yu suddenly wanted to laugh, but he immediately held back.
He knew very well that doing so was an insult to Li Hui, and it was really rare for someone like Li Hui to finally make his own. Normal people are running for their lives, and they are afraid that they will escape slowly, only this eggless person leads his subordinates to stay, and is willing to fight for it.
This experience left an indelible impression on Li Yu, the ministers were not credible, and only the eunuchs were an exception.
Eunuchs have always been ignored by the ministers, and no one even sees them as competitors.
However, Li Yu secretly swore that if he returned to power one day, the important position of leading the troops around him must be reserved for eunuchs.
Because only eunuchs do not betray.
"Report ...... Someone, someone called......"
Suddenly, the military officials rushed to report in a panic.
This is one of the few people who can still stick to their posts, and since a few generals took the lead in leaving the camp, many people have followed the trend and chose to flee for their lives.
Dugu Liangzuo died, Guo Ziyi only had half a life left, and there was no one in the army who could lead them out of the predicament. Besides, now that everyone cares about themselves, even if someone is willing to stand up and raise their arms, not many people are willing to respond.
In the final analysis, Dugu Liangzuo's mutiny completely broke up the already small cohesion, Dugu Liangzuo himself didn't realize it, and Li Yuqi didn't realize it.
As for those middle- and lower-level generals with an obvious sense of crisis, because they do not have the right to speak, they have no ability to influence the prince's thoughts at all.
Li Hui is the eunuch next to Li Yu, who has been pressed to death by Dugu Liangzuo before, and he does not dare to try to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Now, Dugu Liangzuo is in a different place, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also lost all his fighting spirit, and he is the only one who is still trying his best to protect the Prince.
However, how could a mere few thousand people confront the outnumbered Shenwu Army?
In fact, what Li Yu said is very right, no matter what way you look at it, escaping is the only right choice for them.
If you stay, you will only fall into the encirclement of the Shenwu Army, and even if you want to run at that time, you may not be able to leave, and you can only be slaughtered at will.
But if they escape, even the thousands of people who can barely sustain themselves may collapse with them.
Li Hui is just a talent, and he has no outstanding skills, but he is extremely loyal to Li Yu, and he will not hesitate to let him die.
Li Yu rebuked loudly:
"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and gather people, go, go!"
At this point, Li Yu didn't want to put up any resistance at all, no matter how many people attacked the camp, there was no need to block it, leaving here was the first priority.
Li Yuqi has always been kind and pleasant, and it is rare to be like when his subordinates are angry, including the eunuchs around him.
The sudden outburst made Li Hui stand on the spot, not knowing what to do.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't go, otherwise you won't be able to save even these thousands of people from climbing......"
In fact, he wanted to stay and protect Li Yu.
"There are as many people as there are left, and it is better than not having one left. Don't delay any longer, delay any longer, no one will want to leave!
Li Yu, who had already planned to stay and wait for death, decided to leave with these people, always responsible for the last loyal to him, and couldn't watch them stay and wait for death.
Li Hui's face showed a hint of relief, the prince finally gave up his plan to wait for death, and since he chose to leave, he always had to try.
"Order, pull out the camp and raise the village, and the whole army will advance to the northeast as soon as possible!"
He planned it, even if only a few thousand people escaped, as long as the prince was still there, there was hope.
When the Khazars in the north left, they left behind many borderless lands where they could recuperate, gather the old tribes, and even gather the Sogdians who opposed the Shenwu army.
For example, the people of the Shi Kingdom hated the Tang people to the core, and they had successfully instigated the rebellion of the remnants of the Shi Kingdom, which caused a lot of shock to the Shenwu Army, and even changed the deployment and plan of the Shenwu Army in the local area.
Of course, this was just a temptation when Guo Ziyi commanded the army, and after Dugu Liangzuo suddenly took power, he gave up winning over the Sogdians, and naturally gave up the Shiguo people.
