Chapter 588: Plans Change
On the afternoon of the third day of October, an urgent report from the army arrived in Liu Yu's hands. This urgent report was sent from the land of Hanzhong, through Luoyang, and diverted to the outside of Chang'an City.
After Liu Yu read the emergency report, he finally understood why these vassal kings and vassal lords rebelled, it turned out that they used the Hanzhong and Shuzhong armies to transfer their connections in the local armies to Guanzhong privately.
At this time, the army was almost about to enter the Guanzhong land, judging from the speed of the cavalry, Liu Yu estimated that the rebels would be able to go outside Chang'an City in these two days, and there should be an internal response of Su Zhe and his party in the court.
However, Liu Yue thought about it, these vassal kings and vassal lords were too risky, and it was almost impossible to transfer troops privately, and it was almost impossible to hide from the eyes of the imperial court, and they were transferring soldiers and horses to the direction of Chang'an City. This is blatant and somewhat unbelievable. Liu Yu always felt that something was not quite right, but he was not sure, Su Xiao, the king of Shu, did not say much to the Zhaosu clan, what did the vassal kings and vassal lords think, Liu Yu was not in a hurry to make a conclusion.
On the third night of the first lunar month, Liu Yu summoned the generals who returned to Chang'an City with him and held a preparatory meeting together.
Judging from all aspects of the information, Liu Yue said that the plan of the vassal king and the vassal lord should be on the fourth day of the hunt, but the soldiers and horses would not arrive outside Chang'an on the same day. If these vassal kings and vassal lords wanted to use this group of soldiers and horses to attack Chang'an City, with Chang'an City's current defenses, they basically had no chance of winning.
At the military meeting, Huo Ying said excitedly: "When you get to the hunting ground, let me go out of the horse." I'm sure I'll take them down one by one. Anyone who wants to die or live can do it. Master, I'll handle it. ”
Liu Yu ignored Huo Ill, and asked Qu Zhu instead: "The captain of the Chengbei Defense Division, who is it now?" ”
Qu Zhu was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Yu to ask this question, the Yamen of the Chengbei Defense Division also belongs to the jurisdiction of the Yamen of the General Defense Division of Chang'an City, and the Yamen of the Defense Division is now concurrently served by Li Mi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as for whether Li Mi has been transferred to the appointment of the lieutenant of the North Defense Division of Chang'an City in the past two months. He didn't look into it.
"Subordinate...... I don't know, why did the general ask about this? Qu Zhu asked.
Liu Yu was a little annoyed when he heard this, now that there is about to be a catastrophe in Chang'an City, Qu Zhu will not understand some of the situations in the city, which is his dereliction of duty.
"Check it out right away, give you half an hour!" Liu Yu ordered.
Qu Zhu took the order and left, and everyone else looked at Liu Yu, who was silent and a little blue. They didn't understand why Liu Yu was suddenly interested in a mere Northern Defense Division, the Defense Division's Yamen had always been only the weakest link in Chang'an City's garrison strength, and it was only a little better than the Jingzhao Mansion's Yamen. The garrison of Chang'an City. It mainly relies on the two battalions outside Chang'an City.
Qu Zhu also did things quickly, and he came back after a short time. Answered Liu Yu's question.
"The captain of the Northern Defense Division is Li Yuanzhe, a former general of Shudi."
Liu Yu slapped the desk and said angrily: "That's true! ”
The people below looked at each other, not understanding that Liu Yu would have such a big reaction. Liu Yu looked up and found that everyone was looking at him.
Liu Yu suddenly smiled and said, "You don't have to look at me like this, I'm just talking about things, and I'm not angry with you." ”
After Liu Yu finished saying this, the people below put down their hanging hearts. Liu Yu's current status in the army can be described as a masterpiece, and even what happens to the country and the court is determined by him. In such a situation, the generals below will be afraid of him, and Liu Yu also showed an affinity at the right time, so that the people below would not feel that he was the kind of person who did not talk about human feelings.
Liu Yu explained: "Tomorrow's plan may change. The purpose of those county kings and feudal lords who went hunting was not to discuss and make a decision, but to prepare to escape, and those rebels in Guannan were not preparing to attack Chang'an City, but were preparing to receive these county kings and feudal lords. ”
Liu Yu said this, and the following Ran was suddenly realized. Originally, everyone was worried that something would go wrong in Chang'an City, but now it seems that the target of these vassal kings and feudal lords is not Chang'an City, but to prepare to return to their original territories and then make a comeback. Only their own territory, they will be relieved to act boldly, Chang'an City, the capital of the emperor, is well guarded and the generals in charge of the garrison are all descendants of Liu Yu, they have no way to take advantage of it.
And the reason why Liu Yu wanted to inquire about the lieutenants of the Yamen of the Chengbei Defense Division was to see if these people had a chance to go out of the city. The hunting grounds of Chang'an City are not very large, and in the suburbs of the north of the city, there is no outer city gate, and the vassal kings and vassal lords must pass through the city gate when they go out of the city.
Liu Yu guessed the next move of the vassal king and the vassal lord, and he had an idea in his heart.
By the next day, Chang'an City was still as usual, and the garrison troops did not move at all. And when it was almost noon, the vassal king and the vassal lord began to gather in the hunting grounds north of the city, and this time they did not come out in a hurry, but brought a few retinues. However, each prefecture was accompanied by a carriage, and in a seemingly small carriage, there were many people, all of whom were family members of feudal kings and feudal lords.
They were going to take their families out of Chang'an City together, and then turn south and go directly to Guannan to meet the receiving army.
A modest carriage was escorted by several accompanying guards to the north of the city, and when it reached the outskirts, it was suddenly stopped by a group of unknown men, and then the carriage also stopped.
"What's going on?" A woman's voice came from the carriage.
"County Lord, there is someone blocking the road ahead. It seems like...... It's a soldier......" the guard replied.
Hearing that there were soldiers blocking the road, the woman in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked down, and saw Liu Yu riding on a horse, looking at her with a smile.
This woman is the daughter of the king of Hejian who is in contact with Liu Yue, Zhaosu.
"Greetings to the General." When Zhao Su saw Liu Yu, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and kowtowed respectfully to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu didn't get off the horse, and asked with a smile: "Madame didn't go with Ling Yuan?" ”
Zhao Su's face was a little sad and said: "Earlier, the King of Shu sent someone to pick up the little girl, saying that he would only meet the little girl after the concubine went to the hunting ground......
Liu Yu nodded, it seems that the Zhao Su clan still doesn't know the plan of the Shu King Su Xiao, and the Shu King Su Xiao is afraid that the Zhao Su clan is really going to discuss the plan this time, so he helped her pick up her daughter Zhao Yingxi. First, it is to fulfill that their mother and daughter can go back to Hedao County together to contact the old department, and secondly, with Zhao Yingxi in hand, Su Xiao can also contain the Zhao Su clan.
"Then the king, together with his wife, will go to the hunting ground to pick up Ling Yuan and go back."
Liu Yu said, and stretched out his hand holding the horsewhip to Zhao Su, who was standing there with a bow, and Zhao Su was still a little puzzled when he saw Liu Yu's hand stretched out in front of him. She thought to herself, could it be that Liu Yu wanted to share a horse with her?
"Madame still has any concerns?" Liu Yu suddenly asked with a sinking face.
Zhao Su no longer doubted, stretched out his hand slightly, Liu Yu grabbed her hand and pulled it violently, Zhao Su was suddenly lifted on the spot, but his body was unstable and he could only lie on the horse's back horizontally. At this time, her posture is as if she has been robbed by horse thieves. (To be continued......)
