Chapter 154 Xu Shihui's Royal Conquest
Chapter 154 Maybe I will lead the imperial guards in person
Mao Jinyu wanted to explain, but she was nodding and was choked, but before she could explain, her mother pulled her to thank her.
Mrs. Mao was quite satisfied with Su Mu.
Although Su Mu may have married Mao Jinyu for the reputation of the Su family, Su Mu's talent and identity are still the Mao family's high standards.
Mao Jinyu glanced at the drunk Su Mu. He was mute on weekdays, so why did he say such things when he got drunk?
It's so shameful!
...
Early March.
Xiao Ting's army had captured the Shacheng at the junction of Datang and Xiliang and headed straight towards Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is only 800 miles away from Luoyang. If Xiao Ting conquers Yuncheng, the Central Plains will be lost.
Therefore, the imperial court went to Yuncheng one after another to increase troops.
But the situation of the battles sent back was not very good, and the ones sent back were defeated one after another.
There are already many merchants in Luoyang City, and the female family members of the high-ranking officials and nobles left Luoyang and fled to the south.
The court had to recruit soldiers and then go to Yuncheng to add 50,000 troops, and Su Liusu Zhan was also among the soldiers who added troops.
In the Begonia Palace.
He Lianqiao, who had been resting for two months, came to Haitang Palace and said, "Empress, I heard that Su Liu is going to the battlefield?"
Su Jingyan nodded and said, "As the eldest grandson, Su Liu shouldn't have gone to the battlefield, but my Su family man can't watch the city fall and remain indifferent."
He Lianqiao said in a panic: "Empress, this Yuncheng is not a place to guard.
Moreover, Xiao Ting has been training troops in Yuncheng Sand City for many years and is familiar with the terrain of Yuncheng. Will Su Liu be in danger?"
Su Jing said, "Where is not dangerous in war? But now the soldiers and people in Yuncheng have a deep misunderstanding of our Su family. Only when Su Liusu Zhan goes to show that our Su family is open."
After Xiao Ting conquered Xiliang, the people of Shacheng Yuncheng, which they made friends with Xiliang, naturally trusted Xiao Ting.
Many people really thought that Xiao Ting raised an army to be loyal to the emperor, patriotism, clear the country, and eliminate demons.
If the Su family wants to appease the hearts of the army and the people, they can only send the Su family to fight. Su Zhan is not the eldest grandson. Only when Su Liu goes to the battlefield can the Su family appear open and boost the morale of the army.
He Lianqiao was extremely worried and said: "Empress, I want to go to Defei's female army. She still lacks military doctors. I want to go to be a military doctor. If I have the chance, I can still go to fight with them to kill the enemy."
Su Jingyan agreed, "Liang Qiao, you are injured just the right time, and if you are a military doctor on the battlefield, Liu'er will probably be distracted by you."
He Lianqiao said: "Empress, I am not going to the front line, but working as a military doctor in the women's army.
I want to do something, otherwise I will be worried about Su Liuxin.
Also, can I go out of the palace to meet Su Liu and send him away?"
Su Jingyan nodded, "Go."
When Su Jingyan saw He Lianqiao away, she saw that the crabapple tree in the crabapple palace had small flower buds.
I especially remember that at this time last year, she had a headache about the palace draft.
Too many things have indeed happened this year.
The battle situation on the front line was not good. Su Jingyan clearly felt that Xiao Yi had more and more time to go to Beishan, and sometimes he didn't even return overnight.
It is a good thing for Xiao Yi to practice the Beishan Army, but Su Jingyan does not think that the Beishan Army, which had been practicing for more than half a year, can go to the battlefield.
What she was even more afraid of was that Xiao Yi would follow the Beishan Army to make her nightmare come true.
...
In the Su family.
The elders of the Su family were all reminding Su Liusu Zhan to go to the front line of Yuncheng.
Duke Xuan also went to the battlefield when he was young, and he couldn't stand the rich food and clothing prepared by Mrs. Su and Xie Yiyi for Su Liusu Zhan.
He asked the servant to leave all his clothes and food, and said, "They were soldiers, not generals, and even generals were going to fight, not to enjoy their happiness!"
"Su Liu, Su Zhan, you must remember to obey the general's command after going to the battlefield. Your surname is Su, so you must never retreat. You should spare your life to protect the loyalty of the Su family!"
Xie Yiyi listened to Duke Xuan's words and clenched her veil tightly. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Her two sons were about to go to the battlefield at once, so how could she bear it?
Although Su Zhan also followed Xie Heng to the battlefield, Xie Yiyi knew that Xie Heng would protect Su Zhan. The water bandits knew Su Zhan's identity and did not dare to really attack him.
But this time it is different. This time the main general is not Xie Heng. They are just small soldiers and are not reliable in any family ancestors!
Su Liu bowed and said, "Yes, grandfather and grandson must serve the court at all costs!"
Su Zhan said: "Grandfather, even if the grandson dies in battle, he will never kneel down at the thief."
Xuan Guogong said justice: "Okay, they are all good children and grandchildren of my Su family!"
The servant of the gate came to report: "Dude, Empress He Xiurong is asking for a meeting."
Duke Xuan looked at Su Liu and said that he would go to Yuncheng tomorrow, so he would ignore the matter.
After all, it was very dangerous for Su Liu to go to the battlefield this time, and it is hard to say whether he could save his life. Duke Xuan did not want Su Liu to have any regrets.
Su Liulian went outside to see He Lianqiao, but she hadn't seen He Lianqiao for two months. Su Liu missed him so much that he hugged He Lianqiao at the gate.
He Lianqiao was greedy in Su Liu's arms for a long time before giving her protective jade pendant to Su Liu:
"This is the protective jade pendant I have worn since I was a child. Please take it with me. I will wait for you to return safely in Luoyang."
Su Liu took the jade pendant and said, "Well, if I want to come back to marry you, I will definitely not break my promise. Please wait for me."
He Lianqiao looked at Su Liu reluctantly, "You must take care of yourself, remember to write me a letter to be safe."
Su Liu held the jade plaque tightly and said, "I will definitely remember to write to you."
...
In Xuanzheng Palace, Xiao Yi finished his business and was about to leave the palace and go to Beishan Army when he heard the baby crying.
After changing his clothes, Xiao Yi came out of the screen. Seeing Su Jingyan holding Nian Nian, he went over and kissed Su Jingyan's lips first, and then kissed Nian Nian's little face.
"Ayan, why are you here in Xuanzheng Hall with your arms every year?"
Su Jingyan hugged Nian Nian and looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Do you still remember our mother and daughter? Are there anyone like you who are like a father? Nian Nian never saw her for three consecutive days?"
Xiao Yi took Nian from Su Jingyan's arms and said, "I'm sorry, Ayan, the training of the Beishan Army cannot be left behind. The border war is too critical. I can only prepare to lead the Beishan Army to Yuncheng in person. Maybe I will personally lead the imperial army in the future."
Su Jingyan frowned and said, "Haven't you promised me that I would never lead the army in person? There are so many generals in the court!"
When Xiao Yi saw Su Jingyan get angry, he even explained: "Ayan, listen to me, although there are many military generals, they are of use and cannot be easily mobilized, otherwise the whole Datang will be in chaos.
I can't be a turtle in front of Xiao Ting.
And I want to protect you and Nian myself.
And I didn’t say I’d go now, just prepare first, don’t worry.”
Su Jingyan looked at Xiao Yi wearing silver armor in front of him and said, "It's not that I want to stop you as a coward, but I really dreamed more than once that you died on the battlefield and were wearing this armor covered in blood..."
Su Jingyan burst into tears and said, "I don't want something wrong with you, Xiao Yi, I don't want to lose you!"
Xiao Yi put Nian Nian in his arms on the desk beside him, stretched out his hands to wrap around Su Jingyan, comforting him:
"Ayan, I won't have any trouble, that's just a dream, dreams are the opposite. How could I bear to leave you?"
