Chapter XVI: An Unusual Situation

Liu Yu guessed from Han Sheng's tone that the old emperor must have Su Yan's share in sending the prince out of Lu to lead the troops this time. It's just that now the will of the imperial court has not been made, and it can't be said nonsense in advance.

"It's better to go back and wait for news than to be here, this matter depends on the emperor's attitude."

Su Yan also understood that it was difficult for Liu Yu to help with such things, so he had to go back to his rented courtyard first to wait for news.

Not long after Liu Yu entered the chess building, Sui Yi and the three of them always pulled him away, saying that they were going to join in the fun.

Joining in the excitement has never had anything to do with Liu Yu, but today is the day when "Yuelaiju" reopens, and Liu Yu, a "senior consultant", is the first to be invited. Liu Yu also wanted to see if his ideas worked.

When he arrived at Yuelaiju, Liu Yucai had to admire Sui Yu's propaganda ability, not only was the more than 30 seats on the two floors of Yuelaiju overcrowded, but there were also queues waiting to patronize outside, which was even more lively than the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City.

Sui Yu specially reserved seats for them, went upstairs and sat down, Liu Yu looked around, although the time was too late to redecorate, but still made a simple decoration, separated from the private room, and the guests also had their own private banquet space.

"Brother Liu, I have to admire your ability, with your ideas, coupled with my sister's hard work, I thought I had gone to the wrong door when I came over just now."

Sui Yi said happily, but found that Liu Yu was looking out the window in a quiet daze.

Liu Yu originally wanted to avoid the power struggle and be an idler with peace of mind, but now it seems that he is getting closer and closer to the power whirlpool, Su Yan is not an emperor, and what he plans for him is likely to lead to death in the future.

"Brother Liu, do you have any suggestions for the development of Yuelaiju?"

Liu Yu was pulled by Sui Yi before he came back to his senses, and when he looked at it, not only Jiuchi Meat Lin Sanyou, but even Sui Yu also stood aside and looked at him expectantly, expecting him to give a better opinion.

"Opinions? What's the opinion? Liu Yu looked at everyone.

"It seems that Childe's mind is not here." Sui Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Today's Yuelaiju is overcrowded, and the people who come may be greedy for freshness, or greedy for some small bargains, but unfortunately Yuelaiju has limited seats, if they can't satisfy their appetite today, they may not come in the future, I don't know what good ideas Liu Gongzi has?" ”

"The idea? …… Either open a branch or ...... Let's take delivery. Liu Yu said absent-mindedly.

Sui Yu was surprised: "It takes time to open a branch, and it will be delivered to takeaway...... What does that mean? ”

Liu Yu explained: "Delivering food is similar to outsourcing banquets, but you do it and send it to the person who is booked, and it costs some manpower, but in order to maintain the quality of the meal, it is best to do some work on heat preservation and freshness." ”

"Liu Gongzi's suggestion is really good." Sui Yu was pleasantly surprised, "I'm going to tell the people waiting outside about the delivery of takeaways." ”

After saying that, Sui Yu quickly went downstairs, Liu Yu was a little stunned by her efficiency, and pointed out: "This is ...... Go? ”

Sui Yi smiled proudly and said, "I said that my sister never dragged mud and water." That's what she is. ”

………………

The situation in Chang'an City is a little unusual.

For several days, the flying horses that passed the news back and forth on the horse road were back and forth without stopping, and several princes led their troops out of Chang'an City one after another and went to the border pass. Subsequently, Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, was also ordered to lead his troops to the expedition, and the place he went to was very interesting, and he actually went to garrison Tongguan. Of course, this news was also learned by accident through my father's words.

Tongguan is the east gate of the Guanzhong region, thousands of miles away from the north pass.

Although the imperial court repeatedly suppressed the news, but soon a news spread in Chang'an City, Shaowu Pass, one of the three key passes of the Northern Great Wall, had fallen, and the Turkic cavalry had driven straight to the Tongguan side to kill. The goal is directed at Chang'an.

Liu Yugang felt very shocked when he heard the news, you must know that the Dashun Dynasty of the Dao Dao had stationed more than 200,000 permanent troops on the front line of the Northern Great Wall, as well as millions of local people. There won't be a Jin State to fight the Song Dynasty, and then the capital will move south to the world, right? Even An Lushan's rebellion was enough to bring his good days to an end.

Liu Yu also wants to know some news, but unfortunately the old father at home has gone on the expedition, several brothers are either busy with court affairs or out on the expedition, the rest is a question and three do not know, the rumors outside are varied, today said that in fact, Shao Wuguan was only attacked, not broken, some said that Shao Wuguan was lost and regained, the army has gone out of the Great Wall to chase the Turkic army, the most outrageous news is that Tongguan has also fallen, and now the Turkic army is about to besiege Chang'an.

Message blockage. Liu Yu didn't know who to listen to.

I couldn't see Han Sheng for a few days, and I went to the house to worship, and the people in the house also said that the master had not returned home for a few days. It seems that the rumors are not groundless, after all, Han Sheng has no real position in the court, and he will only consult with the emperor when he is in trouble.

Also waiting for news is Su Yan, Su Yan has been anxious like an ant on a hot pot these days, after all, the world belongs to their family, and most of his brothers and sisters have also gone to the border to protect their family and defend the country, he seems to be eager to get the will to go to the army immediately.

Finally on February 27, Liu Yu met Han Sheng, who had not been seen for a long time, in the chess building. Looking at Han Sheng's appearance, he was not too nervous, and as soon as he sat down in his seat, he was about to set up his chess pieces to play chess.

"What's going on outside?" Liu Yue finally caught a person who understood and asked.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Han Sheng had an unfathomable smile on his face, "I came today to inform you, Junior Brother Liu, that the mansion given by the emperor has been prepared, play a game of chess, and take you over to have a look." ”

"Let's go down."

Han Sheng can settle his mind, and Liu Yu's heart is more steadfast. The two of them played a game of chess back and forth, and in the endgame, Liu Yu was Han Sheng's bare-bones veteran who was surrounded by a bunch of chess pieces.

"Can't you just kill me?" Even Han Sheng was in a hurry.

"You make me unhappy, why should I make you happy."

Han Sheng threw away the chess pieces and said angrily: "You stinky boy, you are about to become a family, you don't know how to be polite to an old man like me, how can you play chess with your elders and force your elders to this job?" ”

Liu Yu glanced up at Han Sheng and said, "Let's go, take me to see my future mansion." ”

The carriage in Han Sheng's mansion was waiting at the gate of the chess building, and the carriage traveled a few streets and stopped at the gate of a gate, the lintel was very magnificent, after all, it was for the future General Xu's mansion, but there was no plaque on the door of the mansion, obviously waiting for the emperor's imperial gift.

I went in and saw that the big garden of Liujin was comparable to the ordinary prince's mansion, but after all, it was the future residence of Liu Yu and his wife, and there was no one in the Xu family, and no one in the Liu family was ready to live here with Liu Yu, and the scale could not be compared with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion.

What is somewhat unusual is that there are no maids or servants in the house, on the contrary, it seems to be a military station, and there are many female soldiers stationed inside and outside.

"These are the left-behind female soldiers of the daughter army in the capital, and I am looking at this courtyard for you for the time being." Han Sheng took Liu Yu around inside and out and said, "Ting'er and Yi'er will be sent over tonight, you can enjoy this short period of warmth, tomorrow...... Embark on the journey. ”

"Huh?" Liu Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, "This tomorrow is going to go out to fight?" It's not that serious, is it? ”

Liu Yue wanted to ask something more, but Han Sheng didn't say anything more.

Leaving the courtyard, Liu Yue hurriedly left saying that he was going to see the emperor, Liu Yue returned to the chess building thoughtfully, and before he could go in, he saw Su Yan coming out of it.

"Master, master, I got the appointment document from the Ministry of War, and asked me to take a battalion of soldiers and horses to Wanzhou to garrison." Su Yan greeted him with excitement.

Liu Yu has some understanding of the geographical pattern of the Dashun Dynasty, where is Wanzhou, and when he thinks about it, he is actually more than 1,000 miles southeast of Tongguan. I guess even if it was really the Turkic cavalry that came in, it wouldn't kill Wanzhou, right?

I heard that the scenery of Wanzhou is good, should Su Yan take a battalion of less than 1,000 people to visit the mountains and rivers?
