I'm home
Xiao Ce was able to say this, which means that he already knows who made these stumbling blocks behind his back, and Song Heng probably guessed it, but he was originally a courtier, and it was still difficult to say it openly, and now that he had Xiao Ce's order, it would be a good thing to do it again.
"The ministers receive orders."
Xiao Ce bowed slightly.
"By the way, General Song, when you came from Luoyang, did you see your father? How are he doing lately? ”
Song Heng really didn't know what he meant by asking, but in front of Xiao Ce, he could only answer truthfully:
"If you go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty's side is indeed sick, I have seen it from afar when I left Luoyang, Your Majesty's complexion is not as good as before, but Your Highness don't worry, Your Majesty's Ji people have their own natural appearance, and I believe they will be cured soon."
Xiao Ce knew that Song Heng was not a person who could lie, not to mention that there was no need to lie about their majesty.
"I know, you go down and prepare medicinal herbs, and if you have any questions or needs, feel free to come to this king."
When he came back, the commander's tent here became his, Song Heng still didn't dare to protest, so he just hesitated for a moment, then took out the talisman that Li Hanning handed him at that time from his arms, and then put it on the table next to him:
"This is the talisman that General Li handed over to the minister at that time, and now His Royal Highness King Ming is safe and sound, and this thing should naturally be returned to its original owner."
Xiao Ce looked sideways, and his eyes fell on the talismans placed on the table, but he didn't refuse, because when the affairs of Chang'an were over, he still had a place to use these soldiers.
So Song Heng said in front of him again: "If His Royal Highness King Ming has no other orders, the minister will retreat first." ”
Xiao Ce nodded.
Li Hanning sent him out of the tent, and then glanced at the vicinity of the tent, there was no one guarding here, and they were naturally relieved to talk in the tent now.
Xiao Ce had already gotten up and walked to the table, and glanced thoughtfully at the talisman on the table.
Li Hanning hesitated for a moment and then asked:
"I don't know what Your Highness is going to do next-"
Xiao Ce turned his back to her, Li Hanning couldn't see the expression on his face at all, just listened to him sigh slowly:
"Since my father is sick, I, as a son, naturally want to go back to Luoyang to visit."
Only then did Li Hanning understand that he was planning to return to Luoyang, but the reason for this was probably not only because of His Majesty's illness, but Luoyang was now a tiger's den in Longtan for them, not to mention the epidemic, although it was related to Mofu.
But these Luoyang City soldiers guarding outside the city, as well as the General Xue who was killed by her before, and the recent incident of these cities blocking the transportation of medicinal materials to Chang'an, are all inextricably linked to Luoyang Xiao Sheng's side.
Xiao Sheng saw that his plans had come to naught, so he was naturally annoyed and angry, if Xiao Ce went back at this time, he was only afraid-
Li Hanning looked at Xiao Ce's back and asked, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses Your Highness plans to bring with you when you go back this time?" ”
If you count the southern Xinjiang side, they actually have a lot of soldiers at their disposal.
Xiao Ce turned around and his eyes fell on Li Hanning's body: "There are 70,000 soldiers and horses on Zhao Yi's side, and the southern Xinjiang can't fight for the time being, so I will write a letter tomorrow to ask Changfeng and Ning Yu to withdraw them, and it will not be too late to attack Yanyun Shizhou when there is a good time in the future." ”
Li Hanning listened to what he said today, he just wanted to transfer all the troops back to Luoyang, and even the soldiers on the other side of Nanjiang Chizhou had already given up.
According to common sense, Xiao Ce's decision to fight in the south has actually been thinking about it for a long time, and he has secretly deployed it for a long time, and the manpower, material, energy, and financial resources spent on the road are far from comparable to other wars, but now they dare to take it back easily, naturally because of more important things, and the place they want to return to now is Luoyang.
Li Hanning seemed to understand something, because Xiao Ce's eyes at the moment were what she had seen on the battlefield a long time ago, decisive in killing, clean and neat, careful and thorough in considering problems, and sometimes even unscrupulous means in order to win.
"Yes." Li Hanningfu thought of something again, and then asked, "Then Chang'an is here-"
After all, Xiao Ce was in the most dangerous time, he did not leave the people in Chang'an City, but put himself in danger and stayed in Chang'an City, and Xiao Ce grew up in Chang'an City since he was a child, and his foundation here naturally disagreed that he was in Luoyang, if Luoyang in the future, it would be the biggest advantage for them to move the capital to Chang'an.
But now that they are leaving, returning to Luoyang is equivalent to giving up Chang'an City, which was attacked with such difficulty.
But Xiao Ce seemed to know what Li Hanning was thinking, he used to think so, until this epidemic came, no wonder his father and his eldest brother had been dragging out the matter of moving the capital at that time, and now he has also thought about these things, as long as there are so many soldiers and horses in his hands, wherever is the next capital.
"My father is very old and seriously ill, so he is naturally reluctant to travel long distances, and my elder brother, the Xue family's forces are in Luoyang, if he moves to Chang'an, it will naturally be unfavorable to him, and he naturally wants to dissuade his father in every possible way, since they are not happy to move to Chang'an, then let's go back to Luoyang."
But after all, Chang'an was the capital of Daliang, hundreds of years before Daliang, it was a prosperous imperial capital, whether it was because of the stability of the world or because of other considerations, they should have taken Chang'an as the capital, because after all, the Xiao family had just laid down the world, and there were still those people around who were eyeing each other, Chang'an is not another place, Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a pity to give up so plainly.
"But Hanning."
Xiao Ce looked at the person in front of him with heavy eyes: "Don't worry, although we are going back to Luoyang now, we will always have the opportunity to return to Chang'an, my father wants to take Luoyang as his capital, and the country is named Da Zhou, Luoyang is only the capital of this dynasty." ”
Li Hanning was stunned, although Xiao Ce didn't make the words clear now, but she had already understood the sound outside the strings, was he planning to lead the troops to fight back?
This was originally what she wanted to do, but this was also done when the war in southern Xinjiang was over, and everything in the world had been settled.
Li Hanning seemed to have a lot of things to say in her heart, but those words still didn't seem to come to her lips, she just said:
"Yes."
He has always been very relieved about the promise of their Royal Highness, in fact, for Li Hanning, whether it is Luoyang or Chang'an, which city in the Central Plains is the same, as long as Xiao Se is, it is her home.
Before they left Chang'an, they still went back to the courtyard, Xiao Ce actually still has some reluctance here, not to mention that this is where he has lived since he was a child, and his most difficult time was also spent in this courtyard, which is naturally a little unforgettable.
Xiao Ce stretched out his hand and touched it, the wood-colored pillars at the door were actually some of the paint peeling, and they were also covered with dust, and no one cleaned them.
Because they will not return to Chang'an in a short time, this house will continue to be abandoned, rather than wasting manpower and material resources, it is better to leave it in Chang'an.
Looking at those people, one by one the red boxes were moved to the street outside, Chang'an has just regained some vitality now, and the people naturally need some gold, silver, jewelry and money, Xiao Ce distributed the original things locked in the warehouse to the residents near Chang'an City.
Of course, Li Hanning has no opinion on this, if he does this, he can not only buy the hearts of the people in Chang'an City, but also make them remember Xiao Ce's goodness, which is the best destination for these things that are not of great use and are outside the body.
Xiao Ce looked at Li Hanning in front of him and explained: "I'm sorry, this was originally prepared for you, and when you get to Luoyang, I'll buy it for you again." ”
Because they want to bring the art of war back to the system this time, firstly, it will affect the morale of the army, and secondly, it will affect the speed of the army, and they will not bring these things with them if they are reasonable, but Li Hanning feels that she understands all this, and Xiao Ce actually doesn't need to explain it to her.
Naturally, these things can't be brought, and they won't be able to come back for a short time, so it's better to distribute these things to nearby residents, so as to buy the hearts of everyone.
Li Hanning said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I don't like these things, if they can be replaced by the people nearby, it will naturally be worth the support of Your Highness, not to mention that this is originally Your Highness's thing, Your Highness doesn't need to greet me." ”
Ordinary people say this, probably because he is angry, but Xiao Se just knows that she is powerful, and when she says these words, she is not angry.
Xiao Ce shook his head a little helplessly, "I sometimes want you to be angry. ”
He stepped forward and took the person in his arms, and this time he was a little puzzled by Li Hanning:
"Later, when I return to Luoyang City, you don't have to be so sensible, if I deal with your things in the future, or do something without your consent, even if you blame me, if you are still angry, blame me, just follow your own mind, you can do whatever you want."
Li Hanning: ......
Li Hanning was inevitably a little strange in his heart, could it be because they were leaving Chang'an today, leaving the place where they had lived for a long time, I don't know what happened to His Highness today? It's really a bit abnormal, but he is hugging people very tightly now, Li Hanning didn't say the doubts in his heart, and the two of them just stood quietly in front of the mansion for a while.
Until Li Hanning glanced at the sky:
"Let's go, Your Highness, this time I went back to Luoyang to go back to His Highness's home, not to go somewhere else."
Wasn't Luoyang supposed to be his hometown in the first place?
