A year later, news came from Luoyang.

Liu Yan's army was deprived of grain and grass by the Uighur army led by Tuotuo, and the supply of grain and grass for the army of the king of Huainan began to be insufficient.

Huo Tianyou asked Tuotuo to lead the army to guard the west gate, Wei Duo to lead the army to guard the east gate, and he himself led people to firmly guard the south gate.

At this time, only the north gate can be exited.

However, Liu Su and Liu Yan didn't dare to bring people out easily, for fear of fraud.

However, due to the lack of food and grass, the soldiers in the city have begun to secretly rob the people of grain, kill chickens and steal dogs, and the city is in chaos.

In addition, the battle lasted for too long, and the morale of the soldiers gradually weakened, and everyone looked forward to returning home to reunite with their families as soon as possible.

Liu Su and Liu Yan knew in their hearts that if the stalemate continued, they would inevitably be trapped and killed in Luoyang City.

These two are also old foxes, and Su Rili also heard that the Huo family's father and son are not in harmony, and Huo Guang does not treat his second son well, so the two of them thought of a bad move.

First, he sent a man who could speak to negotiate peace with Huo Tianyou, and then secretly sent someone out of the city in disguise, spreading rumors that Huo Tianyou was dissatisfied with his father's actions and could not be reused, so he decided to cooperate with the king of Huainan and do a great career in the future, so that his father could take a look.

Huo Jiajun naturally didn't believe this statement.

But the soldiers and generals that Huo Tianyou brought out from Kyoto inevitably had doubts in their hearts.

Someone secretly sent this news to Beijing and reported it to Emperor Rong.

Emperor Rong was also shocked when he heard this, you must know that Huo Tianyou took away a lot of military horses, and there are 50,000 elite soldiers of the Huo family led by Wei Duo, plus the Uighur soldiers brought by Tuotuo, if these people really join forces with the King of Huainan. The consequences are unimaginable.

As a king, suspicion is long-term.

Moreover, Huo Tianyou does not have a good relationship with his father Huo Wangye, and he has never been reused, if it wasn't for Emperor Rong giving Huo Tianyou a chance this time, maybe he would have been unknown in Huo Wangfu for the rest of his life......

And the ministers of the DPRK and China also heard about this matter, and for a while, the music was flying all over the sky, and most of them were calling for Emperor Rong to send someone to exchange Huo Tianyou back.

However, the war is in the white-hot stage, and the temporary change of commander is afraid of damaging morale, making morale low, which is not conducive to the big war.

And Huo Wangye's power in the court has also begun to resurge. Someone suggested that Huo Wangye personally lead the troops to exchange Huo Tianyou back......

Emperor Rong couldn't judge for a while.

He wanted to trust Huo Tianyou. After all, Huo Tianyou was the first person willing to shed his blood for him.

His imperial power has been hollowed out for many years, in fact, he knows very well how many people support him, and finally someone is willing to support him, he should trust.

But as the Son of Heaven. He couldn't help but be suspicious. but whatever is not good for him. He had to stop them in advance......

At this time, Lu Shuyi also got the news that Emperor Rong in Beijing suspected Huo Tianyou.

She and the princess were worried.

You must know that the suspicion of the Son of Heaven is a weapon for killing, and since ancient times, how many generals have been loyal to the liver and courage to protect their families and defend the country. They did not die on the battlefield, but they died of royal suspicion.

Lu Shuyi sat on the couch, her hands in her sleeves clenched tightly into fists.

It is very dangerous to be suspected by the emperor.

The princess also frowned and muttered: "The Son of Heaven is the most ruthless, if he is suspicious, he is only afraid that You'er is in danger." ”

"There are also those ministers who only talk about it, and they don't have them in blood and sweat, but there are many people who are suspicious of people." Lu Shuyi's fingers stroked her lower abdomen, these days the little guy in her womb has frequent fetal movements, and she can really feel that she is a mother.

For the sake of the child, she can't put her husband in danger.

Pinching her fingers, Lu Shuyi said in a deep voice: "Mother, it is a top priority, I think I have to go to Kyoto, and I must meet the emperor in person." ”

The princess is also a smart person, and when she heard it, she knew what Lu Shuyi was going to do, and she couldn't help but say, "My son, no." ”

"At the moment, this is the only way to get rid of the emperor's suspicions." Lu Shuyi took a breath and said slowly: "Actually, the emperor was just suspicious, and it didn't come to the point where it couldn't end. If he really didn't worry about his husband, he could have sent an army to put you and me under house arrest, but the emperor didn't do it, maybe ...... I still trust my husband in my heart. ”

"And I took the initiative to stay in the palace, one can reassure the emperor, and the other also shows that our Huo family will indeed not betray the master, he will return triumphantly, and the emperor's trust in him will be more, this third ...... In fact, the daughter-in-law also has her own selfishness. Lu Shuyi paused for a moment and said, "At the moment, the Lu family is in a situation, I want to ...... I beg the emperor again, I hope he can check them one by one, such as my fifth uncle and fourth uncle, they have never been involved in this matter at all, and they should not die. ”

After Lu Shuyi finished speaking, the princess had already red eyes and choked up: "Child, I really wronged you." Marrying into the Huo family, how many sins have you suffered, it's rare that you still think about You'er so much. ”

He looked at her impaired body and said, "If you are not pregnant, it will be fine, but now that you are pregnant with a child, can you stand it?" ”

Lu Shuyi nodded affirmatively, smiled and said to the princess: "Don't worry, I have always been in good health, you can send a few more people to take care of me when you go, so that you can feel at ease." ”

The princess still wants to persuade again, but Lu Shuyi has already made up her mind.

After the second master Lu and the Wu family learned the news, they were also very worried about Lu Shuyi, and the husband and wife discussed it, and finally decided that the Wu family would personally follow over to take care of Lu Shuyi.

With the Wu family in front of her, the princess was also a little relieved.

On the third day, Lu Shuyi took the princess's token and set off for Kyoto.

Emperor Rong didn't expect that Lu Shuyi would take the initiative to enter the palace as a hostage, especially since she was still pregnant, in this case, who could suspect Huo Tianyou of disloyalty?

Above the government and the opposition, the voices that originally opposed Huo Tianyou gradually disappeared, and no one dared to say Huo Tianyou's disloyal words anymore.

At this moment, Luoyang came with good news, Huo Tianyou took Tuotuo to annihilate half of Liu Yan's army, Liu Yan was captured alive, and the rest of the soldiers had already surrendered.

And most importantly, after Liu Yan was captured alive, Tuotuo led the Uighur army back to the Uighur steppe, not a single city or pond was occupied, and not an inch of land was left behind. It's just that the captured weapons and horses are taken away.

There are rules for fighting wars, and there is nothing wrong with taking away the spoils of war.

At this time, Emperor Rong was really relieved, and he stroked his palms and laughed in the court: "The gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, and my Great Zhou soldiers are all frank people, and they are all warriors who should be rewarded." ”

He added: "The Uighurs have surrendered to our Great Zhou for decades, and this war is enough to show their sincerity. Since then. Zhong Aiqing should not say that the Uighurs are disloyal, and General Huo is disloyal, if anyone dares to speak, he will be dragged out and killed with a rod immediately. ”

The emperor's golden mouth. Who would dare to continue the nonsense of the ministers of the DPRK and China?

And Prince Huo's power in the court. Seeing that the general trend has gone. They died down one by one, not daring to mention Huo Tianyou in front of the emperor that Huo Tianyou was not half of it, let alone extracting it again.

Emperor Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Shuyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, she is also worried about it in the palace.

Now that the dust has finally settled, Emperor Rong's suspicions are gone, and Tuotuo has also returned to the Uighurs, and the next thing is to wait for Huo Tianyou to capture the king of Huainan alive.

At that time, Huo Tianyou will also be able to come back.

Lu Shuyi reached out and touched the child in her belly again, and a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

And Huo Tianyou also misses Lu Shuyi very much, and often sends people home to send letters to visit, and now he knows that Lu Shuyi went to Kyoto alone and lives in the palace, and his heart is even more anxious, and he can't wait to end the war at this moment and fly back to Lu Shuyi immediately.

But Liu Su, the old fox, just didn't come out of Luoyang City, and the Luoyang City Tower was impregnable, and he attacked it several times, but he couldn't attack it.

Seeing that the war was scorching, the soldiers gradually became tired, and Huo Tianyou was also anxious.

He argued with the Guardians and worked out tactics.

But if you can't attack Luoyang City, all tactics will be in vain.

However, what makes Huo Tianyou strange is that this war has lasted for more than half a year now, but Liu Su's grain and grass have not been broken.

Last time, Tuotuo cut off Liu Yan's grain and grass, Liu Yan's so many soldiers have been eating the grain and grass of Liu Su's army, although Liu Su's army was short of grain and grass at that time, but it did not reach the point of being trapped to death.

Huo Tianyou rubbed his eyebrows and said to Wei Duo: "Could it be, Liu Su has a place to store grain in Luoyang?" Or rather...... What secret passages are there to transport grain and grass for him? ”

Wei Duo also had this idea, so he said: "Otherwise, send a few people with good skills to sneak into Luoyang City to investigate first?" ”

The two surveyed the terrain around the sand table and finally found an entry point.

On the night of the second day, Huo Tianyou, who had been dormant for a few days, suddenly joined forces with Wei Duo to shoot thousands of rockets into Luoyang City, and the soldiers defending the city were in chaos.

In the next few days, Huo Tianyou ordered the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and even cooked meat on the stove to reward the soldiers.

Seeing that Huo Tianyou didn't move, Liu Su was a little flustered in his heart, feeling that the rocket seemed to be a little strange that night.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, my granary, my secret passage......"

But it was too late, and at this time, he suddenly received a report that dozens of granaries in the city were on fire, and the secret passages were also blown up.

King Huainan thumped his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

When the soldiers in the city learned that the grain and grass had been destroyed, their morale was already low, and these people who wanted to go home suddenly rose up and began to kill each other in the city.

The entire city of Luoyang was in chaos.

Huo Tianyou got the signal and immediately led his troops to attack the city.

When these soldiers learned that the grain and grass in Luoyang City had been destroyed, their morale was greatly boosted, and they were full of energy during the rest of the past few days, and they were full of spirit and shouted under the city, shouting that they wanted to hang the head of Liu Su's old thief on Luoyang City.

Seeing such a battle, the guards of Luoyang City had already weakened their legs one by one, and there was still room for a counterattack.

In addition, the grain and grass were destroyed, and there was a desire to abandon the city and flee.

There were rumors in the city again, saying that if anyone returned to the court, Huo Tianyou would say for them in front of the emperor and allow them to return home safely.

The rebels in the city have been homesick because of the war for too long, and now they have no food and grass, even if Huo Tianyou does not move a single soldier, within a month, they will be trapped and killed in this city, but if they surrender, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.

After all, it is human nature to be afraid of death.

When these words came out, there were countless soldiers in the city who threw away their armor, and some people even proposed to open the city gate to welcome the Huo family army into the city.

There are even some brave soldiers who directly carry their swords to capture Liu Su alive, intending to sacrifice Liu Su.

In this way, the battle ended with Huo Tianyou's victory, Liu Su was finally captured by his subordinates, Huo Tianyou ordered Liu Su and Liu Yan to be locked in a cage together, escorted back to Kyoto to let Emperor Rong fall.

The news of Huo Tianyou's triumphant return soon spread to Kyoto.

Emperor Rong was overjoyed, and first praised the soldiers who went to the bloody battle in the court, and then went to visit Lu Shuyi.

Lu Shuyi has been in the palace for these days, and has been keeping to herself, living in Lishang Palace with Zhou Guifei every day.

Zhou Guifei also admired Lu Shuyi's courage very much, and she was even more willing to win over Huo Tianyou in order to cultivate power for her son's future, so she treated Lu Shuyi very dedicatedly, and provided the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, as well as silk and satin, and rare flowers and treasures.

But Lu Shuyi has her own ideas in her heart.

Concubine Zhou Guifei is the same as Empress Dowager He and is ambitious.

She didn't want Huo Tianyou to be used by Zhou Guifei in the future, so her overtures to Zhou Guifei were also excused if she could, but she really couldn't refuse, so she ordered someone to accept it.

Emperor Rong was in a good mood when he saw Lu Shuyi, and for him, he really admired this woman's courage.

is the woman in this palace, and which one will take the initiative to enter the palace as a proton?

Lu Shuyi took the initiative to come to this trip, which would save him a lot of trouble, and he would not be infamous as a person who doubted loyalty.

And for the Huo family, they also expressed their loyalty.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Rong, this woman is indeed not simple, and she is not an ordinary woman with shallow knowledge.

After Lu Shuyi saw Emperor Rong, Emperor Rong ordered someone to give him a seat, and said with a smile: "Huo Qing will return to Beijing in a few days, and you can go back with Huo Qing at that time." ”

Lu Shuyi hurriedly knelt down to thank her.

Emperor Rong waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious, why did you think of taking the initiative to come to Beijing as a woman?" You...... Aren't you afraid? ”

Lu Shuyi smiled lightly and said generously: "If you are not ashamed of your heart, you are naturally not afraid, besides, the emperor is the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and the people of the world should respect him, only the deeds of a tyrant will make the people of the world afraid." ”

These words made Emperor Rong laugh out loud, although they were flattering, but they made him listen to them very comfortably.

Even Zhou Guifei on one side smiled and said, "What a clever mouth, it really deserves to be General Huo's wife." Yingying looked at Emperor Rong again, and said delicately: "Neizi is still like this, it can be seen that General Huo's virtue is better." ”

Emperor Rong nodded and praised: "Huo Qing's virtue is indeed very good, he is not afraid of dangers and obstacles in this battle, he is really a real man, and he is also a real hero." ”

After a pause, he asked Lu Shuyi: "Since Huo Qing has made such a great achievement, I deserve to be rewarded heavily, does the county lord have what he wants?" ”

Lu Shuyi immediately knelt down and said: "Military merit is forged by thousands of soldiers with blood, how can I ask for it as a woman?" She hesitated slightly, "But...... However, the courtiers do have something they want to ask the emperor to ...... Kai En ......" (To be continued.) )
