Chapter 204 The old coach crosses the river (Part 2)
It is easy to put yourself in your shoes and consider some things when you suffer. Liu Yu did not expect Su Bi to see through his intentions so easily. He did not intend to hide it any more.
"Your Highness Xinzhujun, please understand." Liu Yunai said, "The Prince Chai went to the battlefield alone, and we and my wife all had to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. We are fighting for the country, so why both of us should care about the gains and losses of our families?"
Su Bi wiped the tears on her face and said, "You are a minister, and it is your responsibility to fight for the country. Why do you need to bring my husband to the palace? You are so heartless, I trust you so much!"
After saying that, Su Bi turned around and wanted to leave, secretly wiped her tears. She didn't expect that today's dynasty council made them separate from each other. In addition to resenting Liu Yu, she also felt that Chai Jin was worthless. Chai Jin always regarded Liu Yu as a friend, and Liu Yu obviously just treated them as stepping stones.
Liu Yu couldn't control what others thought about him. He brought Chai Jin to the battle to make him a ties with Su Bi. The emperor left the court and Su Bi became famous in the court. Unless she wanted her child to have no father after she was born, she would still try her best to do a good job in Chang'an City.
Su Bi was going back to be the warmth before leaving with Chai Jin, and Liu Yu also wanted to go home to see his little wife. As for Li Zheer, he had no time to go tonight. On the way home, Xu Xuanzhu saw Liu Yu silent and asked, "Why do you want the emperor to go with us?"
"If you go together, you won't come back. Unless you wait until the day when the world is stable," Liu Yu said with great concern, "I am alone and there are too many crises around the emperor, so I cannot take care of both the beginning and the end. Only the emperor personally can I feel relieved."
Xu Xuanzhu smiled comfortingly at Liu Yu. As a military general, she has been fighting abroad for many years since she was fifteen years old. She has been accustomed to military life and thought that she would calm down after getting married, but she would have to go out with her husband again and again, which would add to the sadness of a woman.
There were too many things to arrange overnight, so Liu Yu could only go back to see the Han sisters, so that they could not rest assured and had no time to spend more time with them. The saddest parting was that, and he could only be heartbroken when he looked at their crying circles. Liu Yu also had to go to the Ministry of War to dispatch troops. Although this trip was mainly low-key, it was necessary to be solemn when it came to Chang'an City when the imperial carriage left.
Liu Yu was preparing to directly command the army, but in fact, no one except Su Bi would have expected Liu Yu to have such a move. After all, the military strength of Chang'an City is now empty, and more than half of the army are still quelling the rebellion in Guanzhong, and the soldiers in the city defense yamen are not suitable for going to the battlefield. Although the Imperial Guard is brave, it is only in terms of personal abilities. There is still a gap between military law and tactics and soldiers stationed on the border all year round.
It is hard to imagine that Liu Yu would take the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of three melons and two dates to fight with hundreds of thousands of soldiers as their backing.
Before dawn, in the name of escort, all the troops had been mobilized outside the city. The Imperial Guard accompanied one thousand soldiers and was led by the Imperial Guard President Qu Zhu. In addition, there were other one thousand people, which were all the troops escorting the imperial guards to Tongguan.
In the Yaqian Hall, the final preparations before the expedition were still made. Su Yan left Chang'an City again but was already a man with a family. Xiaoyu was reluctant to leave him. This couple who shared weal and woe was very close. Especially when Xiaoyu was not even in his name, Su Yan proposed to be the queen and go to the expedition.
"Time waits for no one." Liu Yu said, "This time we went to Mu Yu to persuade him to arrest his subordinates. In fact, we were to subdue Mu Yu. If Mu Yu was persuaded by the envoys of the vassal kings and deviated from the court, the world would change its masters. The queen was sealed and then deposed. Do you want to see such a result?"
Su Yan was silent for a moment and did not force him. Now that Liu Yu was by his side, he also had some confidence, but Liu Yu asked him to go to Tongguan to persuade Mu Yu to surrender, which made him feel inappropriate. After all, he didn't even know what the concept of General Nanyuan was, and he didn't know who Mu Yu would listen to him. He just went there rashly and brought a little bit of soldiers, which felt like he was sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
"Master. I... can I not go?"
Although Su Yan knew that the question was not the time, he still begged one last time, "The master also knows me. He doesn't know anything on weekdays, and he doesn't even know how to be the emperor. Master, you are so capable, you can definitely persuade the general of the Southern Yuan. If I go, it will only cause trouble. It's better not to go."
Liu Yu sighed. It seemed that Su Yan still did not understand the real purpose of this trip. He wanted to "persuade" Mu Yu to surrender to the court. He said that it was persuasion, but in fact it was very likely to use force. After seizing the military power of Tongguan, he directly used the defenders of Tongguan as the main force to launch a counterattack against the Huai King and other vassal kings. He kept Su Yan by his side and did not want to divide the troops, and the emperor personally led the expedition to encourage soldiers. Now the troops in Chang'an City are in a tight position and must concentrate their superior forces. Looking at the entire Guanzhong, even the Imperial Guards may not be as good as the defenders of Tongguan.
This is the difference between the special police and the field troops. No matter how beautiful the surface is, it is not the material to go to the battlefield.
The army gathered in the south of the city, and the tour of the imperial carriage was originally a grand event. Local officials and defenders had to escort them in person. However, because the trip was in a hurry and could not be too ostentatious, everything was like the Imperial Guard going out to train troops. Su Yan was just taking a carriage instead of a imperial carriage. In terms of speed, he had to ensure that he would continue to rush to Tongguan Pass for two days and one night.
Yuan Bolang and a few civil officials were on patrol with the imperial carriage. They were all thin and could not ride horses and could only ride horse carriages. They couldn't bear it when they were traveling continuously. Liu Yu also specially prepared soft quilts and soft pillows for them, saying that they were traveling with the carriage, but in fact, the speed of travel would be even higher than the speed of escape.
"You just let me take a carriage like this?"
Yuan Bolang looked at the carriage in front of him and felt angry.
Liu Yu said angrily: "Prime Minister Yuan, please understand our current situation. The gains and losses of Tongguan are only in one thought. Do you still have to carry you over with an eight-carrying sedan?"
Seeing that the emperor's carriage was not much better, Yuan Bolang felt relieved and got into the carriage with a few civil officials. The army was about to set off.
At this time, the royal family members led by Su Bi and Xiaoyu were seeing off their husbands. Chai Jin thought it was a carefree feeling that this was a training experience, but Su Yan looked aggrieved, and leaving Chang'an City was not what he wanted.
Saying goodbye to Xiaoyu, Su Yan also came over. Liu Yu was about to help him get onto the carriage. He came over with his head, widened his eyes and looked at Su Yan, and asked, "Hey! Who is he?"
It is Huo Bing who wants to go out with the army.
Liu Yu quickly stopped Huo Bing's disrespect, pulled him back a few steps, and said, "This is the emperor."
"Son of the Emperor?" Huo Bing thought for a while, "My mother, isn't the Emperor the Emperor the Emperor? Oh, Xiaomin greeted the emperor."
As soon as he knelt to the ground, he kept kowtowing.
Su Yan didn't recognize Huo Bing, so he saw a boy shorter than him kowtowing and said listlessly: "No need to be polite, please get up."
Huo Bing still refused to get up. He was a gangster on the street. He felt very honored when he saw a high-ranking official. He accompanied Liu Yu to pick up the black sash of Prefect Kang and asked him to brag in front of his three brothers and those soldiers for a long time. Now he met the emperor, he felt honored to go to his grandma's house.
"stand up!"
Liu Yu shouted and finally pulled Huo Bing up who was lying on his shoulders.
Liu Yu said: "The safety of the emperor involves the welfare of the people of the Dashun Dynasty. Now I will order you to be by your carriage and fight to the death to protect the safety of the emperor. Is there any problem?"
