Chapter 68: The Great War is Imminent
"Holy Father, there are 100,000 troops coming from the direction of the Western Capital, and they have reached the border of Southern Chu. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Liu Wenli stepped forward to salute, but was dragged by Jin Yuan's wrist, raised his voice and said, "Didn't I say it many times?" There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to do it. ”
Liu Wenli said yes with a respectful face, their Liu family has always been a loyal bone, and they are also very concerned about the complicated etiquette, so they didn't say anything after agreeing.
"I received a secret report from the Western Capital...... Liu Wenli said and looked up at Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan's back was all the way, and when he thought that this secret report must be from Li Chu, he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Quick, show me, what does the letter say?" ”
Liu Wenli carefully took out the secret report from his cuffs, and carefully handed it to Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan immediately opened the letter, and swept the letter at a glance, but he didn't read half a word, so he had to force himself to calm down and read it slowly, word by word.
"Holy Prince, I must have received the news that Li Jingyao sent an army of 100,000 at this time, don't worry, I have some right-hand men here, Liu Wenlu has already rushed over with them, and he will inevitably rush to the border before the army, and they will take the lead in the battle, and the effect is naturally extraordinary.
As for me, I will stay in the Western Capital to deal with some trivial matters to ensure that the Holy Father has no worries, and the Great War is imminent, the Holy Father does not have to worry about my safety, but should get closer to the two brothers of the Liu family, and the two of them will surely become the left and right arms of the Holy Father.
There are also some old ministers and old ministers, but as long as there is still a trace of enthusiasm, they will find a way to find them and persuade them to return to the court, once it doesn't work, twice, twice, three times, the Holy Father needs to learn Liu Beisan to explore Wolong Village, in order to get real talents, so as to rebuild Southern Chu in the shortest possible time.
There are also those people who are suffering, the people are the top priority, the holy official must give them everything they need, after the reconstruction of Southern Chu, they can give amnesty to the world, reduce taxes, and the people have a way to live, which means that Southern Chu has hope. ”
Jin Yuan put down the letter and wrinkled his brows tightly, Liu Wenli saw him like this, stepped forward and said in surprise: "Chaozong said that his brother is rushing here with people, is there anything else that the Holy Father is worried about?" ”
"You don't know?" Faced with Liu Wenli's doubts, Jin Yuan was even more surprised.
Liu Wenli still shook his head at Shang Jinyuan's inspection, Jin Yuan exhaled deeply, and said with a sad gaze: "I know what he meant when he wrote this letter, with his temperament, but as long as there is still a breath of air, he must be desperate to rush to Nanchu, he has been planning for six years, and he has endured for six years, how can he not want to see the moment when Nanchu is rebuilt?" ”
Liu Wenli naturally understood this, but he still didn't understand what Jin Yuan meant, and asked, "So? ”
"He can't get through, his body can't support him to return to Nanchu, and the sequelae of the cultivation cheats have already begun......" Jin Yuan said and looked down at the yellow paper letter, and said in a sad voice, "This letter was sent many days ago, I'm afraid he has ......"
"Already...... How is it? I don't know if Liu Wenli can't believe it or don't dare to think about it, so he asked again.
Jin Yuan's eyes shook suddenly, and he slowly raised his head to meet Liu Wenli's eyes, and said word by word: "I'm afraid he has ...... No longer alive......"
"How is this possible? He was injured at the time, but as far as I know, he has gradually improved over the years, how can the old injury recur and die with a whimper? Liu Wenli straightened up suddenly, turned sideways, took two steps and turned back and asked, "Cheats?" What cheats? Is it the cheats for covering corpses? ”
Jin Yuan had already cried silently, nodding heavily, Liu Wenli opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, he knew very well about Lichu's hard work and forbearance over the years, but he never thought that Lichu would sacrifice to this point for the great cause.
He watched Li Chu grow up since he was a child, and he treated him no different from his own brother Liu Wenlu, so he couldn't believe the speculation that Li Chu had passed away at this time.
"No, everyone said he wouldn't survive, but didn't he survive? I believe that Chaozong will definitely have a way, his will is very incomparable, he will survive, he has a way! Liu Wenli said that he had no confidence in the back, and his voice became softer and softer, as if he was talking to himself.
Liu Wenli paced back and forth for two steps, and the whole person looked very anxious, but soon he adjusted his mood, raised his voice and pointed to the map in front of him: "Holy Father!" At this critical juncture, let's discuss the enemy's countermeasures first. I know that they have a lot of people, and they must have enough equipment and food and grass, so it is better to make a move to attack the west, divert their targets, and steal their equipment and food and grass, if there is no food and grass here, it will be surrendered without a fight. ”
Jin Yuan was a little uncomfortable with Liu Wenli's sudden change, but he also knew in his heart that the nearly 100,000 soldiers outside the tent were also waiting for him to give orders and lead them back to their previous homes, so there was no time to relax, and at this time, he had to cheer up and face the rush from all directions.
"You're a good idea, but it's just a sound of ...... What can be done to be perfect? I heard that the leader of the army is an experienced veteran general, so presumably he may not be fooled. Jin Yuan looked at the placket of his clothes and held his chin and thought carefully.
Liu Wenli nodded slightly, and his eyes flashed: "However, Li Jingyao sent the old general who is more than half a hundred years old, which also shows that there are no generals available in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and with the body and bones of this old general, we can play roundabout tactics with them and consume their physical strength until they are exhausted." ”
"This is a good idea, our soldiers have grown up in hardships on the border, and they are naturally better able to survive than those elite soldiers from the Western Capital. I saw that this wind and sand was almost coming, so I simply cut down the forest fifty miles ahead, so that the wind and sand would come more violently, so that the Tang army's resistance would be even weaker. ”
Liu Wenli nodded heavily, and said in surprise: "What the Holy Father said is that I think this idea is feasible, and tomorrow I will let the soldiers go to the woods to cut down trees, and be sure to complete the task in the fastest time." ”
"I think it's still early, so why don't you go now." Jin Yuan lifted the tent and forgot to look outside, Liu Wenli paused, and immediately saluted, "Yes!" I'll give it my command! ”
The yellow sand rolled, rolling all the way from a distance, rolling to his feet, Jin Yuan stood at the mouth of the tent and looked at the soldiers waiting for the battle and the tent with no end in sight, for some reason, he missed the person in the Western Capital extraordinarily.
If he doesn't come, he even detains his own aunt, and when he rebuilds Nanchu, he must arrest these two people! Locked up in the palace, you are not allowed to go anywhere!
