Chapter 204: The Old Handsome Crosses the River (Part II)
It is also easier to put yourself in the shoes of some things, and Liu Yu did not expect Su Bi to see through his intentions so easily. He didn't intend to hide it any longer.
"Your Highness Shintake-kun, please be considerate." Liu Yu said helplessly, "Chai and Ma go to the battlefield alone, and our husband and wife have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they are both fighting for the country, so why bother with the gains and losses of the smaller family?" ”
Su Bi wiped the tears on her face and said, "You are a courtier, it is your responsibility to go to trouble for the country, why do you want to pull the horse in this palace!?" You wolf-hearted thing, it's in vain that this palace trusts you so much! ”
After saying that, Su Bi turned around to leave, and secretly wiped another handful of tears. She didn't expect that today's court council would make their husband and wife separate, in addition to resenting Liu Yu, she was also quite worthless for Chai Jin, Chai Jin has always regarded Liu Yu as a friend, and Liu Yu obviously just used their husband and wife as a stepping stone.
Liu Yu can't control what others think of him, and he took Chai Jin out on the expedition, just to let him be used as a tie to Su Bi, the Son of Heaven left the court, and Su Bi's reputation in the court was high, unless she wanted her child to be born without a father, otherwise she would still try her best to do a good job of supporting in Chang'an City.
Su Bi wanted to hurry back to Chai Jin to make a warm deposit before parting, and Liu Yu also had to stop by to see his little wife, as for Li Sha'er, he didn't have time to go over tonight. On the way home, Xu Xuanzhu saw that Liu Yu was silent and asked, "Why did the husband let the emperor go with us?" ”
"Go with them, and they will not come back. Unless we wait until the day when the world is settled. Liu Yu said with a worried look, "I am too busy to be alone, and there are too many crises around the new emperor, so I can't take care of the whole thing." Only by driving in person can I put my mind at ease. ”
Xu Xuanzhu smiled comfortingly at Liu Yu. She served as a military general. Since the age of fifteen, he has been fighting for many years. Accustomed to military life. I thought that my married life would be calm, but I had to go out with my husband again and again, which would also add a little bit of the woman's sorrow.
There were too many things to arrange overnight, and Liu Yu could only go back to see the Han sisters, so that they could rest assured, and they didn't have time to spend more time with them. The parting is the saddest, and looking at their crying red eyes can only be ruthless. Liu Yu also has to go to the military department to transfer troops, although this trip should be low-key. But when it comes to Luan's drive out of Chang'an City, it must also be grand.
Liu Yue was ready to directly drive the expedition, but in fact, except for Su Bi, no one else expected Liu Yu to have this move. After all, the military strength of Chang'an City is now empty, more than half of the army is still quelling the rebellion in Guanzhong, and the soldiers of the city defense yamen are not suitable for the battlefield, although the Imperial Forest Army is brave, but it is only in terms of personal ability, and there is still a gap between the soldiers stationed on the border all year round in military law and tactics.
It is hard to imagine that Liu Yu will take the shrimp soldiers and crabs of three melons and two dates to fight against the vassal king backed by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Before dawn, in the name of escorts. The soldiers and horses have been mobilized outside the city. The Imperial Forest Army accompanied 1,000 soldiers and horses, led by Qu Zhu, the president of the Royal Forest Army. There was nothing else, that is, these thousand people, who were all the troops who escorted Luan to Tongguan.
In the Yaqian Palace, still making the most important preparations before the expedition, Su Yan left Chang'an City again but was already a man with a family, Xiaoyu was reluctant to give up on him, this couple who shared hardships and hardships were very affectionate, especially thinking that Xiaoyu did not even have a name now, Su Yan even proposed to make the queen and go on the expedition again.
"Time waits for no one." Liu Yu said, "This time we are nominally going to Xiang Mu He to persuade his subordinates to arrest him, but in fact we are to subdue Mu He, if Mu He is persuaded by the envoys of the vassal king and deviates from the court, then the world will change hands." The queen has been sealed and abolished, do you want to see such a result? ”
Su Yan was silent for a moment and didn't force it any more. Now that Liu Yue is by his side, he also has some confidence, but Liu Yue asked him to go to Tongguan to persuade Mu He, which still made him feel inappropriate, after all, he didn't even know what General Nanyuan was, Mu He didn't know who Mu He was, and it was not clear whether people would listen to him.
"Master. I...... Can I not go? ”
Although Su Yan also knew that it was not the right time for Lu Dao to ask, he still pleaded with him the most, "Master also knows that Lu Dao me, I don't know anything on weekdays, I don't even know how to be this emperor, Master, you are so capable, you will definitely be able to persuade that Nanyuan general, I will only add chaos if I go, it is better not to go." ”
Liu Yu sighed, it seems that Su Yan still does not understand what the real purpose of this trip is, this trip is to "persuade" Mu He to surrender to the imperial court, saying that it is persuasion, in fact, it is very likely to use force. After seizing the military power of Tongguan, he directly took the defenders of Tongguan as the main force to launch a counterattack against King Huai and other vassal kings. Now Chang'an City's soldiers and horses are overstretched, and it is necessary to concentrate superior forces. Looking at the entire Guanzhong, in terms of the strength of the generals, even the Imperial Forest Army may not be comparable to the defenders of Tongguan.
This is the difference between special police and field troops, and no matter how beautiful the face is, it is not material for going to the battlefield.
The army was assembled in the south of the city, and Luan's patrol was supposed to be a grand event, and the local officials and defenders had to personally escort and greet him, but because the trip was in a hurry and could not be too public, everything was made as if the Imperial Forest Army was out of Lu to train the troops, and Su Yan only took a carriage instead of Luan. In terms of travel speed, it is also necessary to ensure that we will not stop rushing to Tongguan in two days and one night.
There were also Yuan Bolang and a few Wenchen who drove out with Luan, their bodies were thin, they couldn't ride horses, and they could only ride in carriages, and this continuous rush was the most unbearable for them. Liu Yu also specially prepared soft quilts and soft pillows for them, saying that they would accompany them on patrol, and their implementation speed would be faster than escaping.
"You're going to let the old man ride in such a carriage?"
Yuan Bolang looked at the carriage in front of him, and the anger in his heart was not in one place.
Liu Yu said angrily: "Yuan Xiangguo, please understand our current situation, the gains and losses in Tongguan are only in a thought, do you still have to use eight sedan chairs to carry you over?" ”
Yuan Bolang saw that the emperor's carriage was not much better, so he was relieved and got into the carriage with a few ministers. The army is about to depart.
At this time, the royal ladies led by Su Bi and Xiaoyu were seeing off their husbands, Chai Jin felt that this was an experience and didn't feel anything, but Su Yan was aggrieved, and it was not what he wanted to leave Chang'an City.
Saying goodbye to Xiaoyu, Su Yan also came over, Liu Yu was about to help him into the carriage, a head came over, looked at Su Yan with wide eyes, and asked, "Hey!" Who is he? ”
It was Huo Sickness who was going to go with the army.
Liu Yu hurriedly stopped Huo Yuan's disrespect, pulled him back a few steps, and said, "This is the Son of Heaven." ”
"Son of Heaven?" Huo Yi thought for a while, "My mother, isn't the Son of Heaven the emperor?" Oops, Xiaomin said hello to the emperor. ”
Kneel to the ground and kowtow vigorously.
Su Yan didn't recognize Huo Yi either, so he saw a kid who was shorter than him kowtowing there, and said listlessly: "Don't be formal, please get up." ”
Huo Yi still refused to get up, he was a street gangster, he already felt very honored to see a big official, and he accompanied Liu Yu to pick up Kang Taishou's black yarn and let him brag in front of the three brothers and those soldiers for a long time, and now when he met the emperor, he felt honored to go to his grandmother's house.
"Get up!"
Liu Yu snorted, and finally dragged Huo Ill, who was dying, up.
Liu Yu said: "The safety of the Son of Heaven involves the well-being of the people of the Dashun Dynasty, and now General Ben has ordered you to accompany Luan Jia and desperately defend the safety of the Son of Heaven, is there a problem?" ”
Huo Yi blinked, and immediately grinned: "No...... No problem, let me guard the emperor, whoever comes, I will kill him! (To be continued......)
