Chapter 4 Please Order to Expedition (Part 2)
Liu Yixuan came to the study and planned to discuss with his father about going to the army to fight.
"Father, I want to ask you for advice if I have something to do." Liu Yixuan said tremblingly.
Liu Anguo sneered after hearing this, "This is fresh! What else can you do to ask me for advice? On weekdays, you are like a wild horse, and there is no old waste in your eyes!"
Liu Anguo's words were true. If Zong Ze had not asked Liu Yixuan to ask his father to ask him to go to war with the army, Liu Yixuan would not have run away. However, since he went to Junzhou privately, Liu Yixuan felt sorry for his father, knowing that he could not just cause trouble and cause any more trouble for his father.
"I don't dare. I really have to discuss with my father." Liu Yixuan whispered.
"I wonder what the prince-consin is doing to find me, the old man?"
Liu Yixuan was already used to his sarcasm, so he had to tell the whole story: "Child...Child wants to follow the old general of Zong to cross the river north, hoping to get his father's permission."
After hearing this, Liu Anguo realized his son's purpose. When he thought that his son's war with the army was not a trivial matter, he put down the books in his hand and planned to get up to talk to him in detail. Liu Yixuan hurried over and helped him get up from the chair and sat down in the hall.
"This time, the emperor issued an order to take back the large-scale city that fell from Hebei to prevent the Jin soldiers from moving south again. I strongly agree with this. It was as expected that Lord Li recommended Zong Ze as the general. But if he went to fight to kill the enemy, he would have these generals. What are you going to follow?"
"Didn't you tell me that the old general has asked me to be the military clerk of the "Yong" camp. This time, the entire camp of the "Yong" camp will be launched. How can I not follow me?"
"Hmph, you can be a clerk with the army? Don't embarrass me! Are you going to go to the army to fight? General Zong did not allow you, so you came to me?" Liu Anguo had long expected Zong Ze would have some concerns and would not let Liu Yixuan go north with the army.
When Liu Yixuan heard that he had realized the whole story, he did not intend to hide it any more. He also said, "The child was begging him hard, but he never agreed. He also said that he would ask me to ask your consent first."
After hearing this, Liu Anguo couldn't help but sigh, "General Zong is indeed a kind and righteous person! I know that you are my husband's only son and don't want you to die in vain on the battlefield. You should be grateful to the old general. Besides, you still have a marriage with Ling'er. You have to go to war now. How do you ask me to explain to the Queen Mother?"
"The child naturally knows the kindness of General Zong and knows that he has a marriage, but this opportunity is rare. The child also wants to go to the battlefield to experience it. You always scold me for being ignorant and only know how to fight cocks and dogs. Now that the country is in trouble, it is the time for the child to serve the country! My marriage with Ling'er is still two months away. When October comes, I will return to Beijing to marry again." Liu Yixuan advised him with kind words, only asking his father to allow his request.
After hearing this, Liu Anguo also felt that it made some sense. He has never been a person who dotes on his son. He felt that his son could take the initiative to fight in the face of a great enemy, but he was still a bit masculine. In addition, he would take care of him in Zongze's tent, so he naturally didn't worry too much, but the empress dowager and the princess might not be able to agree.
"It's a good thing if you want to follow the army to train. It's better than being in the capital and causing trouble for me! But you think you're going to explain to the princess. After all, the empress dowager has given her a marriage. If you don't explain the reason to her, you're afraid that she will complain about us in the future."
After hearing what his father said, Liu Yixuan knew that he had agreed to his request, but was still worried that he would not be able to reply to the Queen Mother.
Liu Yixuan said: "Don't worry, my father, I will explain it to Ling'er. Although I am the Empress Dowager's son-in-law, I am still your son. As long as you agree, what can the Empress Dowager say? Besides, I went to the army to fight for their Zhao family. Naturally, the Empress Dowager will not blame his father."
Although Liu Anguo always looked down on his son, he still felt that it made some sense after hearing these words. However, as a father, how could he not worry about his son? He was afraid that he would not obey orders in the military camp and cause some trouble. He quickly instructed:
"When you arrive at the military camp, you must obey the military orders, don't make the old general angry, and don't cause trouble for me! I don't ask you to build me a great achievement, nor do I ask you to learn how to use troops with the veteran general. As long as you can save your life and not worry about your mother and I. If you can't bear the pain of the military camp, you can write to me at any time. I will explain to the veteran general that you will be transferred back to the capital."
Liu Yixuan knew that he would not have any high expectations for him, and would only say something discouraging to him. Fortunately, Liu Anguo finally agreed to his request. He wanted to prove to him with his actions that he was not useless. Old man, one day, you will be proud of having such a son. Liu Yixuan secretly made up his mind to achieve a heroic career in this chaotic world, and not let his father underestimate him.
Liu Yixuan successfully obtained the permission of his father, and according to Zong Ze's request, he asked for his father's handwritten letter. In the letter, Liu Anguo thanked Zong Ze again and said something like asking for help. Seeing that Liu Anguo was willing to let his son go to the battlefield to fight, Zong Ze admired him very much, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There are still a few officials in the Song Dynasty who are as profound as Liu Prime Minister!" Therefore, he loved Liu Yixuan even more.
Three days later, Zong Ze went to the Ministry of War to lead the seal and was ordered to decapitate the camp to fight. At this time, the governor of Runan Jie, Ma Menglong, the general of the "Yi" in the name of the "吴吴" Hu Yanqing, and the governor of Xiangzhou Liu Hao led his troops to gather at the city of Bianliang. This time, there were 5,000 cavalry and more than 40,000 infantry. Other soldiers and other soldiers were also 5,600 to 6,000, totaling more than 50,000 people.
Liu Yixuan originally wanted to say goodbye to Ling'er in the palace, but the deep palace walls were difficult to enter for a while. Ling'er was a princess who was about to marry and was not allowed to leave the palace for a while. She had no choice but to leave a letter to his mother, so that she could hand it over to Ling'er when she had time to enter the palace. Mrs. Fan couldn't help but persuade her son for a while, and was unwilling to let him join the army to fight. Liu Yixuan had already made up his mind and had to persuade him with kind words.
After the three armies were assembled, Zong Ze rode his horse to the front of the formation. The generals of each army ordered their troops and waited for the order to go to the expedition. Zong Ze brought the seal of the commander and made someone take out a brand new banner with the word "Apricot Huang". The soldiers of the army were dressed in a neat manner, all of them were full of heroic postures, and many generals were also energetic and high fighting spirit. The old general waved the order flag and signaled the front army to go out. He heard three cannons outside the gate, and the army drove towards the bank of the Yellow River. It was exactly: the yellow sand was wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and he would not return until he defeated Loulan!
After all, whether the Song army can win will be successful will be hereby made.
