Chapter 1,258 Brothers embarking on the journey together
Liu Jingxuan had a strong smell of alcohol in his nose. He shook his head and waved his hands: "No, I, I'm not drunk. I, I want to go with you..."
Liu Yu held Liu Jingxuan's big head, pressed his forehead against his, and said word by word: "Ah Shou, don't make yourself unhappy with your father because of me. We have made great achievements in Luoyang.
Only then can we return to the Beifu Army in glory. Otherwise, everyone will have to bear the reputation of being a money-grabbing and defeated army, and they will be unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. While we are away, the Beifu Army cannot collapse, and we cannot let those stragglers ruin our reputation, so here
I need you, your father needs you by his side, and we also need you here to help us look after our house. Do you understand?"
Liu Jingxuan's eyes sparkled with tears: "Jinu, you, are you going to abandon me again?"
Liu Yu laughed and gave Liu Jingxuan a tight bear hug: "I have never abandoned you, not before and never in the future. If we need reinforcements but there is no one of our own in the rear, what do you think we should do?
You being here is the greatest help to us people."
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth, straightened up from Liu Yu's arms, shook his head, picked up the half-drunk wine jar, and strode out: "Next time if something like this happens, don't take me with you, brother.
There’s nothing left to do!”
Liu Yu looked at Liu Jingxuan's retreating back, smiled and shook his head. He breathed a long sigh of relief, raised the wine bowl high, looked around, and said: "Everyone, I have almost drank the wine, and I have eaten.
It’s almost done. Today is my, Liu Yu’s, happy day. You are willing to come and give me Liu Yu face. I’d like to thank you all here.”
As he spoke, he pressed his fist to his chest, bowed deeply to the surroundings, and performed a standard military salute. Liu Daogui and Liu Daolian also followed him, saluting everyone.
All the veterans and newcomers present stood up, returned the gift with the same gesture, and said in unison: "Brother Jinu has a happy wedding. We wish Brother Jinu and the girl from the Zang family a happy marriage for a hundred years and a happy family."
Liu Yu stood up straight, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today is a happy day for me, Liu, but it is also an urgent day for our Jin Dynasty. Just a few days ago, Fu Pi of Bingzhou fought against Murong Yong of Xiyan.
, was defeated and fled. He took thousands of troops and went straight to the Central Plains. Murong Yong led the victorious army and followed him. Now he is about to enter our territory of Jin Dynasty. The Luoyang area is now very weak. General Zhu Xu has to deal with it.
The harassment by the Ding Ling people is already very strenuous. If we have to face two groups of thieves, we are afraid that we are powerless. Luoyang is the old capital that we regained after the Battle of Feishui with so much blood and sacrifice. How can we give up like this? So?
, we must set off immediately, our troops must be very quick, maybe a day or a half later, we will see the enemy's battle flag on top of Luoyang City, and by then, everything will be too late."
Liu Yi nodded: "Jinnu, everything is up to you, but it turns out that you said you would leave in two days, and now you have to leave immediately. Some of our brothers are not ready yet. Can you wait a little longer?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "It's too late. I originally thought I could leave in two days, but the situation has changed now. Luoyang is in danger of losing it at any time. We don't need to bring anything with us. We just need to lift our legs and hit the road. We can still follow the original
The plan is for all military commanders to bring their brothers in the army and go on the road in batches. At noon five days later, we will gather at the south gate of Luoyang City."
He Wuji stood up and patted the dirt on his butt: "Okay, a slave is a slave. Soldiers are valuable and quick. That's right. Where are the people from the Flying Leopard Army?"
More than thirty men stood up and saluted He Wuji: "Brother Wuji, I'm waiting here."
He Wuji laughed loudly: "Er Zhuzi, Si Mazi, very good. We brothers haven't gotten together for a long time. I miss you very much. Let's talk slowly along the way. Now we all have listened. Let's go back to our respective homes.
Go to each mother and explain the good things. We will meet at Qili Ferry in two hours. If you don't come, don't recognize me as your brother from now on!"
More than thirty people said in unison: "Listen to Brother Wuji."
He Wuji nodded towards Liu Yu: "Jinu, let's meet in Luoyang, I'll leave right away." He said, turned around and left, followed by the thirty or so people, who left the table.
Liu Yu looked at Tan Pingzhi, and without saying a word, Bo Bo stood up, wiped his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "All the young and old men of the Tan family and the men of Yingyangjun, follow me!"
As he spoke, he picked up the big bow beside him, turned around and left. Likewise, more than forty big men followed him.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Yi with a smile, but found that he was no longer in his original position. More than a hundred people followed him in a large group, and swaggered towards the other end of the village. His voice was far away.
came: "The copycats are on the road, go to Luoyang and kill Hu!"
Half an hour later, when Zhuge Changmin walked out of the courtyard with more than 60 strong men, the entire courtyard, which was crowded just now, was finally deserted. The leftovers of more than 70 tables were still standing there.
The residual heat and the aroma of wine overflowed, filling the entire courtyard. Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui were directing a few servants to clean up the small courtyard. Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the corner to the side.
Mu Zhizheng was sitting alone on a small mat, with a chicken leg in his left hand and two mutton skewers in his right hand. He was eating happily.
Liu Yu shook his head, walked to him, squatted down, and said angrily: "You fat man, you just know how to eat. When we leave, all the wine and meat left here will be yours."
Liu Muzhi gnawed off the last piece of meat on the chicken leg on his left hand, licked his thumb with lingering interest, burped, and said with a smile: "The road to Luoyang is steep and the water is long. How can I not eat more?"
I'm not like you guys, who can eat wild fruits."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "Are you kidding me? Didn't we agree that you stay here to assist Wang Gong and make sure he doesn't cause trouble? Who said I would take you to Luoyang?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "With your sister Miaoyin here, are you still afraid that Wang Gong can turn the world upside down? Don't worry, the Diao brothers have all been transferred away, and Jingkou is at peace. Wang Gong has no excuse even if he wants to cause trouble.
You don't need me here, but you can't live without me in Luoyang. You brought thousands of brothers there this time, but you don't have many counselors. Meng Chang is one, but he is Liu Yi's brother, so he may not really help you.
, without me, I’m afraid you won’t have anyone to discuss many things.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "This time it's dangerous, and you don't have much skill. We can't protect you in a fight. Stop making trouble. Besides, will your wife be willing to let you go?"
