Liu Yu was not optimistic about the prospects of this war.

It was not the first time that Liu Yu had set out on an expedition, even when he pacified King Huai with less fighting, he didn't have so many worries. On the one hand, he has a family and has a bond, and more importantly, the Turks have always been brave and good at fighting.

The history of the Central Plains is basically the history of the battle with the northern nomads. The steppe people seldom learn cultural knowledge, and from the moment they can crawl and move, they are instilled with the idea that only the strong can survive on the grassland. The survival of the fittest is most evident in the grassland peoples.

Han gave birth to a stupid son, and he also tried to marry a daughter-in-law to inherit the incense. Incense is the root of the family, and in the grassland, even if you are weak and do not have to be sick, it is difficult to leave offspring.

The new musket can play the greatest advantage in positional warfare, but in the skirmish on the steppe, the advantage of the musket is minimal, and in the bloody battlefield, the Turkic people's fear of death has a greater advantage.

Liu Yu is still so soldiered, it is enough to fight less and more stragglers, fight the Turks, hang!

A year ago, I was going to go on an expedition, at most to see a few confidantes, this time I was leaving, Liu Yue found that there were too many things to explain, and he even couldn't take care of it.

The family has to explain, Li Sha'er has to explain, as for Sima Xuan'er, he didn't even have time to say in the past, so he could only let others talk. Liu Yu also wanted to take time out to meet Han Sheng and Wu You and listen to their opinions. After leaving Chang'an City, many things were involuntary, and Liu Yue believed that Han Sheng and Wu You could give him some reasonable advice.

"Do you still remember the proverb that the little old man broke for you at the beginning?"

Wu You's Astronomical Institute, when he learned the news that Liu Yu was going north, Wu You asked Liu Yu directly.

"Under one man. But not willing to be subordinate? Liu Yu sat on the chair. Next to him was a little resentful woman Wu Shuo. was glaring at Liu Yu with vicious eyes, as if Liu Yu had robbed her little daughter-in-law.

"Old man Wu, did you make it out in the first place, or were you blind?"

Wu You fiddled with the things on the table, and bowed his head and said, "I know that your kid definitely doesn't believe it, and it's not weird, and it's strange and confused." You're a reader, and you're too deeply influenced by that. It can be known that the matter of Lu Dao is still a fixed number in the dark. You can believe it or not, but sooner or later the number will fall on you. ”

A god like Wu You will not openly admit that he is blind, nor will he say that he is a half-immortal. The scale of his speech is well controlled, and to put it bluntly, it is a guess.

Liu Yu said: "Then you give me the calculation, can this expedition be successful?" ”

Wu You raised his head and looked at Liu Yu very solemnly, until Liu Yu felt as if he was a little weak-hearted, and Wu You lowered his head. Shaking his head slightly, he said, "I can't count, but the little old man guesses." You should also feel that this trip will change. ”

This is not a calculation, it should be a matter of observing words and feelings.

Liu Yue, who didn't believe in heaven or fate, asked Wu You because he had an ominous premonition in his heart and was not confident.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow, I always feel that something is going on this time, and I'm restless, otherwise I won't come to see you." Liu Yu said, "Could it be that because I have suffered too many sins, my heart is uneasy?" ”

Wu You said disdainfully: "You kid only know that you have created a deep sin? Truth be told, the man ...... It's the little girl of the Su family, but you got rid of it secretly? ”

Because of Su Min, Liu Yu and Wu You have a contradiction, and this contradiction has always existed irreconcilable.

"Nope." Liu Yu said bluntly, "I still want to keep her fishing, catch big fish, and tell you Old Man Wu, don't want to beat her." ”

Wu You didn't ask again, the things in his hand were tinkered with, and Liu Yu took it when he threw it out.

"This is Xiao Lao'er's improved farsighted tube, let's see, is it much better than the original?"

Liu Yu took it in his hand and looked at the vista outside the window, and it was really much better than the original rough telescope, which was almost anticipating the enemy's opportunity.

Wu You continued: "On the grassland, as far as the eye can see, with this thing, it should be a little help to you, come back early, boy!" ”

It is rare that Wu You disregarded his previous suspicions, and improved the telescope for him before he set out on the expedition, Liu Yue smiled faintly, and regarded it as a note of his kindness. When Liu Yu was about to go out, the little stammering Wu Shuo also followed, Liu Yu turned around and said: "If you want to play at my house, you can, but you are not allowed to abduct my newlywed wife to the street!" ”

The little stammering was finally unraveled, but it was still "Humph! With a bang, he entered the door satisfied.

Walking on the way to Han Sheng's mansion, Liu Yue felt a little desolate, and also felt incompatible with the scenery around him, although he had lived in this world for more than two years, he still stayed in the mentality of a civilized society. In this world, he learned to be lazy to look at some problems, or to escape from this world.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return. Liu Yu felt that his expedition tomorrow would be like Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, with no return.

Han Sheng didn't like to say some frustrating things like Wu You, and said: "You are not even afraid of King Huai, you have also fought the Turks, or the Iron Wolf Guard, what is there to be afraid of now?" ”

"It's because I don't know what I'm afraid of!" Liu Yu said, "The closer I get to the expedition, the more this uneasy mood envelops me. ”

Han Sheng said with a smile: "Then let the old man analyze it for you, you see, on the banks of the Kwai Shui River, you have nothing to worry about, you just go, you don't need to think about the consequences of what you do, and your purpose is to help the current Son of Heaven come forward, and it turns out that you have done it." Going out to quell the rebellion in Guanzhong was originally a group of grass bandits, you are not afraid, and you feel that you should be more captured. You've always been so confident. Fight the king of Huai, you are even more afraid, because you have a new weapon, the Son of Heaven ascends the throne completely depends on you, you know that you can't fall, you have to support the Son of Heaven. But what about now......"

Han Sheng sighed and said: "The world is stable, the Son of Heaven doesn't need you, you feel alienated, but you are unwilling, originally this time to go to the Turks, no one is more suitable than you to lead the army, but the Son of Heaven chooses others." When you encounter a defeat, you remember to turn the tide, you also know that no one will always be lucky, no marshal will always win the battle, especially in the steppe, which is the homeland of the Turks, they are the masters of the steppe!

You now have a family and a room, you are no longer so careless, you want to live a dull life away from the court, but you are afraid that the instability of the world will bring changes to your peaceful life, and you are also afraid that after losing power, you will be settled by others. Looking ahead, Brother Liu, in fact, you might as well not think about anything, go out with your troops, and fight a battle with indomitable progress, think about it, the Turks have been pacified, what else do you have to fear in the world? ”

Liu Yu seemed to suddenly understand, but it was not what Han Sheng said.

"Yes, the Turks are the last battle, without the Turks, the biggest threat to the entire Dashun Dynasty, isn't that me?" Liu Yue smiled sadly, "What I will face in the future will be the king I single-handedly held, as well as those brothers who once fought side by side with me." What I fear is that this day has come! ”

After the last moment, Liu Yu got up and sighed: "Poor me, but I am speeding up the arrival of this day with my own hands!" (To be continued......)
