281 Murderous Heart

The first target of the Hu army was Luzhou Mansion, a large city that had only recently been captured by the Hu people.

Xie Yukun and other leading generals originally thought that the battle of Luzhou Mansion would be a tough battle, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations, when they went there, they found that the city gate was wide open, and countless people of Luzhou Mansion were gathering at the gate with excitement to welcome the arrival of Wang Shi.

Xie Yukun sent someone to ask and found out that it turned out that as early as three days ago, the Hu people had evacuated Luzhou Mansion in advance.

Although the city has been looted by the Hu people, at least most of the people are still unharmed.

Being able to recapture Luzhou Mansion without bloodshed was great news for everyone, and the morale of the whole army was immediately boosted.

After entering the Luzhou Mansion, Xie Yukun and other leading generals still couldn't believe that the victory came so easily.

But no matter what, the Luzhou Mansion has indeed taken it back, which is definitely a great joy.

It stands to reason that the recapture of a big city like Luzhou Mansion should be celebrated.

However, Xie Yukun was worried that Emperor Shuntian would use the celebration banquet to buy people's hearts, so he deliberately stopped the celebration and tried to avoid contact between the emperor and the generals of the local guards.

If it were changed to before, Emperor Shuntian would definitely be furious and take the opportunity to stir up trouble, but that night, after listening to the inference of his confidant Xu Yuchu, he only felt that the sky was about to fall, where did he still have the heart to stir up trouble.

He didn't expect that the Xie family really had murderous intentions towards him, the emperor.

But isn't he An Guogong's own grandson? Does Xie Mingshun not care about his ancestors and grandchildren at all?

Although he wanted to comfort himself, this was just Xu Yuchu's cranky thoughts, and it was impossible for An Guogong to do anything to him, the grandson of a man who had half of the Xie family's blood on his body.

But Zhao Yufeng is not a fool after all, whether it is in the capital or the various obstacles that the Xie family has made to him since the expedition, coupled with this unprecedented division of troops, it can be seen that the eldest uncle Xie Yukun does have bad intentions.

Also, the Xie family insisted on letting his cousin Fuwang Zhao Yan'an act as the superintendent of the country, which was obviously also paving the way for this purpose.

The Xie family really wants to change people to be emperors!

Thinking of this, Emperor Shuntian suddenly felt cold all over his body, and even trembled uncontrollably.

Almost subconsciously, he had a strong urge to immediately send someone back to the capital to kill the Fu King Zhao Yan'an, so that no one would be qualified to replace him as emperor, so that he would be safe.

If this is not enough, then kill all the members of the old Zhao family, and kill him until he is the only one surnamed Zhao, then it will definitely be fine.

But what little sanity he had was quickly poured cold water on him, telling him that it was impossible.

Since the Xie family wants to change people to be the emperor, the Fu King Zhao Yan'an, who is a candidate, will definitely be closely protected and monitored by the Xie family, and it is impossible to kill him unknowingly.

It is so difficult to kill just one Zhao Yu'an, not to mention how many clansmen in the entire old Zhao family can kill them.

Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not, his action alone is enough to make him betray his relatives and leave a stench for 10,000 years.

"Brother Xu Qing, what do you say I should do now?" With nothing to do, Zhao Yufeng couldn't care about the majesty of the emperor, and directly asked his henchman Xu Yuchu in front of him for help.

Xu Yuchu, who has been thinking hard for many days along the way, said solemnly: "The so-called stay in the green mountains, I am not afraid of no firewood."

Now the most important thing is to keep the emperor safe, and everything else can be put aside for the time being.

The minister proposed that at the time of the campaign, the emperor's rear army should try to keep up with the front army as closely as possible, and not be too far away from the main army, which is the most important first point.

The second is that once it is found that there are Hu people sneaking up from behind, the emperor must immediately join the front army, so that the Hu people have nothing to do.

In addition, although this matter is dangerous, it is also an excellent opportunity for the emperor. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Once the Hu people really attack from behind, the Xie family's attempt to divide the troops into two ways will be untenable, and then the emperor can take the opportunity to sit in the Chinese army.

Although the specific command still depends on the Xie family and others, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, the emperor is the one who commands the whole army, and this is what the imperial army should look like.

As long as this battle is victorious, the emperor's prestige will naturally be famous in Great Wei.

At that time, the people will want to do it, and the people will support it, even the Xie family will be helpless against the emperor. ”

"Well, that's a great plan. If so, then I am relieved. Zhao Yufeng was excited as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Compared with his peace of mind, Xu Yuchu always weighed a big stone in his heart.

At least half of what he said to the emperor was just to comfort him and keep him from becoming a mess.

Will things really go this way?

In this regard, Xu Yuchu no longer dared to be too optimistic.

As he fought with the Xie family more and more, he realized more and more how powerful the Xie family was.

Although the Xie family was not able to fully control the strength of all the local guards in the country, the Xie family firmly controlled the entire imperial court, especially the military department, with the two forces of the forbidden army and the five military camps as horns for each other.

However, Emperor Shuntian, who was the emperor, did not even have a usable army, and completely became a puppet of the Xie family.

As long as the Xie family has been controlling the Son of Heaven and controlling the imperial court, the Xie family represents the imperial court and represents the soldiers and horses of the Son of Heaven commanding the whole country.

In this situation, which local guard dares to disobey?

The Xie family, this is a typical plan to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Now the Xie family even wants to get rid of Emperor Shuntian and replace it with a more controllable Fu King.

In order to achieve this goal, the Xie family will definitely do whatever it takes.

And all they can do is to see the tricks and try to survive.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and it is really difficult to break the game.

Xu Yuchu even began to regret instigating Emperor Shuntian to drive the expedition in person, but now it seems that this is a dangerous move with more than one bad luck.

Just in case, Xu Yuchu said to Emperor Shuntian after hesitating for a moment: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a backup strategy to keep the emperor safe." ”

"Xu Qing's family said quickly." Emperor Shuntian hurriedly urged.

"This policy is a bit disrespectful, so the minister has been hesitating whether to say it to the emperor."

"I forgive you for your innocence, Xu Qing's family might as well speak up."

"Your Majesty, Emperor. This strategy is actually very simple, and it is Li Daitao's strategy.

The emperor can find a person who is similar to you, and let him wear your golden armor to accompany the army on weekdays.

And the emperor, you pretend to be an ordinary guard to follow this person and direct his actions.

As long as the emperor lives as deep as possible, and travels mainly in carriages, so that people will not be easily recognized.

And the person who pretended to be the emperor, not only should let him cover his face with a helmet all day long, and try to speak as little as possible, he should be able to get away with it.

If the emperor needs to discuss things with the adults, he can wait until the evening to change back into formal clothes. ”

Emperor Shuntian said with a solemn expression: "Xu Qing's family, is the situation really so dangerous?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you are wearing gold armor, which is the most conspicuous in the eyes of the Hu people.

If the Hu people really sneak attack from behind, they will definitely chase after the emperor.

The minister was worried that once the Hu people cut off the way, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If the emperor pretended to be an ordinary guard and fled in chaos, the Hu people should not bother to chase after him.

This is also a helpless move, please let the emperor know. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Shuntian finally sighed and said, "Just follow what the Qing family said." ”
