Chapter 6: The Present Enemy
After a day of tossing, Su Yun finally lay on the bed, and by the bright moonlight, he carefully looked at the ring on his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I don't know when the lady of Tiandao will wake up."
Although he already knew that Wang Mang was the target, but the emperor was far away, he couldn't break into the palace and kill him by himself, judging from the current situation, he still had to use the power of the Green Forest Army to achieve his goal.
He turned over, and the soldiers' adoring eyes on him were still vivid, which he had never experienced in his previous life, which made his heart surge, Zhu You's caring eyes, and Liu Xuan's sincere attitude all made him feel very good.
"It would be nice if I were really Liu Xiu."
Su Yun said with emotion, but he knew his mission, so he was destined not to invest too much emotion in the people around him, if history changed, everyone would not be able to save their lives, and he could only keep telling himself to face everyone as a bystander.
After a night of tossing and turning, he fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and when he woke up, it was nearly noon.
"Childe is awake."
When a little maid saw him get up, she hurriedly brought a towel, and the food was already on the table.
Su Yun wiped his face, "What about my brother?" ā
"The eldest prince has already gone to the martial arts arena, and when he left, he told us to take good care of the second son."
Su Yun nodded, it seemed that he was the most idle person now, he filled his stomach and decided to go out for a walk.
"Hello second son!"
When the soldiers patrolling the road saw him, they all respectfully stepped forward and saluted, and it seemed that yesterday's battle had spread throughout the entire Chungling City.
Su Yun politely returned to them one by one, he is from the 21st century, he doesn't have much class concept himself, it is purely a natural reaction, but it makes the soldiers feel that this "second son" has no slightest, and he has a lot of good feelings.
Su Yun slipped to the martial arts training ground, and the soldiers were divided into many groups to practice, and when they saw him coming, they all stopped.
"The second son is here to practice his fists and feet?"
Several generals came over to say hello.
Su Yun waved his hand, he was not a belligerent, he had no interest in the exchange, after looking around, he asked, "What about my brother?" ā
"The eldest prince is handling official business in the General's Mansion."
Following the direction they pointed out, Su Yun came to a building not far from the martial arts field, and sure enough, he saw Liu Xuan in armor and several of his subordinates discussing something, and their expressions were a little solemn.
"Uncle Wen, why are you here?" Zhu You's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to find him, Liu Yu frowned, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, you should have a good rest these days." ā
"It's okay, I'm not a sick person who can be cured by resting, and going out for a walk is better for my head." Su Yun smiled, "I see you guys seem to be in trouble?" ā
Liu Xuan nodded and pulled him to his side, "I received news from the dimension in the morning, the imperial court sent Zhen Fu and Liang Qiu to lead a front team of 100,000 and are heading towards Chungling, and it is estimated that it will arrive in less than two days." ā
"Dimension? Two-dimensional or three-dimensional? Su Yun wondered.
"Alas, it seems that Uncle Wen's illness is still not cured." Zhu You sighed, "Li Jiyuan, Li Tong is also, Li Yi's cousin." ā
"Oh!" Su Yun's face flushed, it seemed that his mind still hadn't all turned to this era, "That is, there is a war?" ā
"Right now I'm having a headache about it." Liu Xuan said, "The total number of the Lingling army is less than 6,000, weapons and armor are scarce, and there is not much food and grass. ā
It turned out that the generals had disagreements on how to deal with the enemy's army, and some advocated holding on to help, because Chungling, as the base camp of the rebel army, had important value, and the city wall of Chungling was strong, so they could send people to ask for help from various nearby rebels.
Others advocated avoiding the attack, because the food and grass in the city could only last for seven days at most, and if the enemy besieged the city, the other rebels would be captured sooner or later.
Zhu You obviously supports the first point of view, "Now the time is too tight, the families of the soldiers are in the city, once they fall into the hands of the enemy, I am afraid that the morale of the army will collapse, if you take them with you, you will not be able to get rid of the pursuers at all." ā
"That's better than putting the treasure on the other rebels, right? If we continue like this, we will only be wiped out! "One of the generals objected.
Liu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.
"What you said is right, in front of the 100,000 army, we have no chance of winning at all, but the way of heaven is above, and the thieves are unpopular, and now the rebels from all walks of life have risen up, and I believe that the difficulties are only temporary."
Su Yun muttered in his heart, "The way of heaven is in my ring now, this old lady doesn't care about our life or death." ā
Liu Xuan then ordered: "Zhu You led the army of five hundred, led all the family members out of the city first, and withdrew to the green forest and mountains, Liu Jia went to Xinshi and Hepinglin to ask Wang Kuang and Chen Mu for help. I am waiting for your good news in Chungling. ā
"Eldest son, it's better for me to stick here, you can take your family members into the green forest mountain first!" Zhu You said that he had to face an army of 100,000 in Chungling, and everyone knew that there was a lot of bad luck.
"No! If I'm not here, how can the soldiers rest assured, Uncle Wen, you can go with Zhongxian! Liu Xuan looked at Su Yun.
"No, I'm staying!" Su Yun knew that this place was very dangerous, but it was also an opportunity to increase his prestige, how could he miss it.
"Good!" Liu Xuan nodded heavily, "Then the two of us brothers will fight the enemy together!" ā
After discussing the details for a while, the matter was finally settled, and each of them took his own orders.
The atmosphere in the city was a little depressing, the people began to pack up, and slowly went out of the city to the south under the urging of the soldiers, and there was no longer a relaxed expression on everyone's faces, and the mountain rain was coming, and they were all worried about the big war in a few days.
Su Yun followed Liu Xuan to the various city gates to arrange defenses, six thousand soldiers seemed to be a lot, but it was a bit stretched to the city walls, and after a circle, there was not even a reserve left.
There is no such battle in this history in memory, the attack of the Chungling army was in the battle of Nanyang City after joining forces with the various armies of the green forest, and Zhen Fu was a master of experience, since Wang Mang still sent him over, he must not be so familiar with this history, but the timeline has changed, and the traverser has affected the course of history, and Su Yun can't relax his vigilance yet.
The identity of the future is useless now, and the direction of events is unpredictable, Su Yun can only be an honest general of the righteous army, and follow Liu Xiu to make enough preparations, fortunately, Liu Xiu himself is a strategic genius, relying on this body, he knows a little about military affairs, and he can also draw inferences from one another, without any sense of disobedience.
"Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, your ideal back then was just to be a ruling Jinwu, but did you think that one day you could ascend to the throne, it seems that I will help you start from scratch again."
Su Yun looked at the dark clouds above his head and sighed with emotion.
