Chapter 1183: Emperor Shenwu arrives
Liu Yu and Zhao Yun came towards Shouchun City with great momentum. After arriving at the West Gate of Shouchun, there was no Cao Jun at the West Gate.
Xiahou Shangzai, the guard of the Cao army at the west gate, found that Liu's army had entered Shouchun City, and Cao Cao ordered all Cao troops to assemble in the palace, and he also led his soldiers and horses to the palace according to Cao Cao's orders. Liu Jun, who was in charge of attacking the West Gate, took the West Gate very easily.
Liu Jun didn't have to be happy for long, and Liu Yu and Zhao Yun appeared. As soon as his identity was revealed, Song Xian, the general of Liu's army attacking Ximen this time, hurriedly came down to ask Liu Yu for peace. At the same time, Song Xian immediately sent a cavalry to inform Huang Zhong.
Ximen and Liu Jun all saluted Liu Yu, they didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly appear at this time.
"The last general, Song Xian, meet Your Majesty." Song Xian came to Liu Yu's war horse and knelt down, and he almost threw himself to the ground.
The soldiers of Liu Jun in Ximen also knelt down for Liu Yu, but they were not as exaggerated as Song Xian.
Liu Yu looked at Song Xian who was kneeling in front of him differently. Generally speaking, military generals have heavy armor on their bodies, and they are generally half-kneeling, which is also allowed by the law and military law. But Song Xian's kneeling posture did surprise Liu Yu a little.
Song Xian actually has a lot of grievances in his heart. When Liu Yu was still in the state, Song Xian joined Liu Yu's state army, and Song Xian also got a good ranking in the competition that year. But Song Xian never expected that he was high-spirited at that time, and he was actually the most majestic in so many years. Since that time, Song Xian has been placed in some very ordinary positions. Either guarding the gates or being in charge of food and grass, or guarding the prisoners. What kind of vanguard general or other deadly work, there is no part of him at all. Even the towns guarding the city are some inconsequential cities. Those who entered the Liu army with Song Xian, such as Hou Cheng, have become military generals with heavy troops, and after this war, they may all be added to the ranks.
Everyone else is accumulating credit, and he seems to have been forgotten in the corner.
Song Xian almost gave up before this. I thought my life was over. Heaven gave him another chance, and when he went out to Yuzhou here, the general Huang Zhong brought him with him. On this expedition to Yuzhou, Song Xian worked hard to perform, was appreciated by generals such as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, and got the opportunity to lead a group of soldiers and horses.
Now that His Majesty has arrived in Shouchun again, and it is the West Gate that Song Xian has just taken, Song Xian feels that God feels indebted to him, so he gave him a chance to return to Liu Yu's sight. If Song Xian doesn't behave well in front of Liu Yu, then he will really be sorry for God.
"Song Xian? Why are you here? "Liu Yu has always remembered Song Xian, who sold Lu Bu in history, but he didn't expect it to appear in this place.
"Your Majesty still remembers the last general, and the last general can't repay it even if he is full of liver and brains." Song Xian's heart was both happy and sad. "The general went to Yuzhou, and the last general was also on the list, and now he is working under General Lu. On the orders of the general and General Lu to attack the West Gate, as soon as he took the West Gate, he met His Majesty, which was really a blessing for the last general. ”
Happily, Liu Yu has always remembered him. The sad thing is that Liu Yu never thought that Song Xian would be in Shouchun City. It can be seen how Song Xian does not enter Liu Yu's eyes. Song Xian didn't know what he had done wrong that would make Liu Yu so forgetful.
"Is this fate? I have arranged Song Xian to an inconsequential place, but I didn't expect to end up under Lu Bu, it seems that even if I forcibly change some things, fate will still let him turn to the established track. Liu Yu thought silently in his heart.
Liu Yu silently watched Song Xian and didn't speak, Song Xian didn't dare to come out, he was worried about whether he had offended Liu Yu at some point, and now he made Liu Yu unhappy. But Song Xian hollowed out his head and couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.
"The general trend of the world has been decided, and there will be no huge changes. I don't have to be too pretentious. Let it be. Liu Yu felt that he should not interfere too much.
If Song Xian is destined to frame Lu Bu, then Lu Bu will not be able to escape. In history, but Lu Bu didn't listen to Song Xian and they would fall to that point. The current Lu Bu is almost Liu Yu's right-hand man.
"Song Xian, you did a good job! For so many years, you have been silently serving the imperial court, neither humble nor arrogant, and I am very pleased. You're an old subordinate from when I was in the annex. Well done! I will not treat every hero badly. Liu Yu encouraged Song Xian, after all, he had really snubbed Song Xian for so many years, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation.
Song Xian was moved by Liu Yu's words of encouragement. For many years, he has been thinking about getting ahead and achieving his brilliant life all the time. Song Xian firmly believes that with his own efforts and dedication, he will definitely be able to get the attention of the court and His Majesty. Now that Liu Yu has said something intimate, he has put forward that Song Xian is Liu Yu's subordinate during the period of Bingzhou, which is destined to be valued by Song Xian after this.
"The last general will thank the emperor." Song Xian shed men's tears on the spot, and the grievances of so many years were released today.
Pang Tong was very strange to the military general who knelt in front of Liu Yu, and he cried as he said this. No one else understands Song Xian's grievances, and now he can't help but release it.
Seeing Song Xian shed men's tears, Liu Yu recalled that he targeted Song County because of those things that did not happen, and felt a trace of guilt.
The soldiers of Liu Jun looked at each other, and they didn't know why Song Xian was like this. The soldiers felt that Song Xian was blocking Liu Yu's path like this, which seemed to be a bit of a loss of manners.
"General Song, you better get up. You are in the way of Your Majesty. Li Gui came out at the right time and said.
Song Xian reacted immediately, immediately put away his tears, made way for Liu Yu, and kowtowed: "The last general is guilty!" ”
"It's not a sin to contribute to the court. Remember, I hope you can do it again! Liu Yu encouraged Song Xian again.
"The last general must be remembered!" Song Xian kowtowed to Liu Yu fiercely.
Liu Yu nodded and took Zhao Yun and them into the city.
After Liu Yu left, Song Xian wiped away the tears in his eyes, and he did not follow Liu Yu into Shouchun, because Ximen is now his position and cannot leave his post without permission.
"Cheer up! If anyone dares to relax, beware of Lao Tzu breaking his legs! Encouraged by Liu Yu, Song Xian seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.
The soldiers were resigned. They all knew that Song Xian was going to develop from now on. can enter the eyes of His Majesty today, and there is really no one who does not soar. The soldiers hoped that they would behave well so that they could board the big ship of Song Xian, and in the future, they would have enough food and clothing, and their children and grandchildren would not have to worry about eating and drinking.
Later facts also proved that Song Xian was quite used by the imperial court, and he also continued to make military exploits. With the continuous accumulation of merits, he became the general of Zhenbei in his later years. That's another story.
Song Xian's fate then changed.
After Liu Yu entered Shouchun City, he went directly to the direction of the palace.
Not long after they left, Huang Zhong brought Jia Xu and Lu Bu to them.
Seeing that Liu Yu didn't lose a single hair, Huang Zhong and Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Before this, they were extremely worried about Liu Yu's safety. Once there is any accident, Huang Zhong and the others will not be able to explain to the people of the world. But Huang Zhong and the others couldn't make a noise, so as not to leak Liu Yu's traces and increase the danger to Liu Yu. This kind of pain that is clearly known and has to be concealed is only clear to Huang Zhong himself.
"The old ministers and others will meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed and healthy!" Huang Zhong led everyone to salute Liu Yu.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "The general is exempt, get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Zhong and others responded.
"General, how's the war going?" Liu Yu's first concern was the battle situation.
Huang Zhong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the officers and men of the three armies have worked hard and have occupied most of Shouchun City. Cao Cao and his troops occupied the puppet palace and resisted to the end. Lao Chen and others have already surrounded the Shouchun Palace. It won't take long to take down Cao Cao! ”
"So good! I'll take a look! Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Huang Zhong directly dissuaded: "Your Majesty cares about the front line, and the royal driver is on the battlefield in person, and the old minister and others are excited. I deeply feel Your Majesty's Longen! For His Majesty, I will go to the soup for the Han Dynasty. Now that the war is settled, there is no need for His Majesty to worry. News came from Luoyang that the queen and the crown prince, as well as many ministers, were all looking forward to returning as soon as possible. The old minister is courageous, please Your Majesty immediately start driving and return to Luoyang to sit in the center of the town, so as to calm the hearts of all the people in the world. ”
If you drive Liu Yu back, you really want Huang Zhong to talk about it. Huang Zhong's official position and status are the highest, and there is enough weight to say this, and Liu Yu can't blame Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's words have been made very clear, and he also said that he already knows how Liu Yu came to Shouchun, and he also knows how long Liu Yu has been out.
"This Xi Zhi is really useless. Didn't I let him hide it? Liu Yu is very dissatisfied with his son, and he can't even deceive people.
Liu Yu really didn't want to think that he was the emperor, and his every move was watched. No matter how great Liu Xuan's ability is, he can't completely hide it.
"I know. Luoyang has the prince and the public platform, the public and others are there, and there will be no chaos. I have an old relationship with Meng De, and at the last moment, I must be here! Liu Yu euphemistically expressed his meaning, he would not go back to Shouchun City now.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Son of Heaven should focus on the country, and the matter of the war, there are old ministers and others who share the worries for Your Majesty. Lao Chen and others promised to take Shouchun, and asked His Majesty to return to Luoyang to reassure the people. Huang Zhong obviously had no intention of making way for Liu Yu.
Blocking the road again and again, Liu Yu was unhappy, and a displeased look appeared on his face.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to return to Luoyang to reassure the people." Jia Xu also said a word when he saw the opportunity.
Only Lu Bu didn't speak, but he felt that Liu Yu would be better in Shouchun, which would boost the morale of the soldiers. But Huang Zhong said so, and he could only stand behind Huang Zhong obediently, which could be regarded as expressing his position.
Liu Yu looked at Huang Zhong and Jia Xu coldly, these two guys actually dared to fight against Liu Yu, Liu Yu is the emperor, the world is his biggest, where he is going, it is not for Huang Zhong and Jia Xu to influence.
"If you can give me peace of mind, I won't have to come in person. Remember the decree I gave you before you set out on your expedition? Liu Yu began to leak his domineering.
Huang Zhong and Jia Xu were shocked, could it be that the private plans of some strategists and generals were known to Liu Yu? If that's the case, then it's really troublesome.
"I have repeatedly ordered you to ensure the safety of my brother. How did you promise me in the first place? How do you actually do that? "Liu Yu scolded Huang Zhong and Jia Xu for a stinking meal." With courtiers like you, can I not come in person? ”
"Why did Your Majesty say this? The ministers are loyal to His Majesty. Now King Chen Liuwang is still in the puppet palace. Jia Xu didn't admit this kind of thing at all, it was a bully.
"Really? Wenhe, I heard that you value a military general named Zhou Cang very much! Is there such a thing? "Liu Yu is a little unkind.
"It's true!" Jia Xu was frightened, but kept his composure.
"Excellent! You're pretty honest. I'll settle accounts with you later! Liu Yu didn't say anything to death.
Jia Xu knew that Liu Yu already knew everything he had arranged before, and he was caught by Liu Yu.
Liu Yu said to Huang Zhong: "Brother Xie's has been reunited with me, so you don't have to worry about anything else." Now the last purpose of Shouchun is Cao Cao! ”
Huang Zhong couldn't believe his ears, Liu Xie and Liu Yu were actually together. How Liu Yu did it.
Lu Bu is admiration, sure enough, there is nothing that His Majesty can't do. I think it was Liu Yu who gave him some advice at the beginning, so that Lu Bu and his children were full of people.
Liu Yu said again: "Cao Cao, I know very well, if you want to take him, the casualties will definitely be very large. I have a way to capture Cao Cao alive! ”
Huang Zhong was stunned by Liu Yu's continuous words, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
"General, how long do you want to stand in my way?" Liu Yu's tone had already indicated that his patience was at its limit.
"Damn it! Your Majesty, please! Huang Zhong immediately made way for Liu Yu.
If you don't give way, Huang Zhong also hopes that Liu Yu can really have a way to take down Cao Cao.
Liu Yu hadn't been gone for long, and Su Ren, Liao Xin, and Ge Hui went straight over and knelt down in front of Liu Yu. Why did they recognize Liu Yu at once? Because they saw Huang Zhong from a distance just now, they saluted Liu Yu, and then made way for Liu Yu. Even if you haven't seen Liu Yu, you know from such a scene that Liu Yu is the current Emperor Shenwu.
The three of them hurriedly patted Liu Yu on the back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed directly.
"Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed!" Su Ren, Liao Xin, and Ge Hui said in unison.
Liu Yuqiang held back his anger. Huang Zhong gave way, and there were three guys who came out of nowhere to block the way.
"Who are you waiting for! Dare to block His Majesty's path, do you want to rebel? Li Gui drank on the spot.
