Liu Xiu asked curiously, "Aren't you quite in love with Mu Pinghou?" ”

Jiang Shiyun lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, the courtiers and General Geng...... It's not a consensual relationship. ”

As far as Liu Xiu knows, Jiang Shiyun entered the army as a medical officer because of Geng Shu's relationship, and now she has severed her relationship with Geng Shu, I really don't know what this woman thinks in her heart.

He said: "No matter what, I still hope that Shiyun can enter the Tai Hospital." ”

Jiang Shiyun saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Liu Xiuxiao asked, "You agreed?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has an order, and the courtiers dare not disobey! ”

The words that came out of Jiang Shiyun's mouth were still unpleasant, but since she was willing to stay, Liu Xiu had nothing to say.

He stood up and said, "Tomorrow, you go to Nanyang with me." ”

"The courtiers obey!"

Liu Xiu was about to leave, but when he heard Jiang Shiyun agree so simply, he took back the steps he had taken, looked at Jiang Shiyun with strange eyes, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Gongsun Shu wanted to send troops to attack Nanyang, Jiang Shiyun also heard that this time he went to Nanyang, and he was likely to fight with the Shu army, but Jiang Shiyun was still willing to follow him to Nanyang, as if there was no one, Liu Xiu was surprised in his heart.

Jiang Shiyun said: "Your Majesty is not afraid, what is the courtier's fear? ”

Liu Xiu smiled, nodded appreciatively at Jiang Shiyun, and praised: "Well said!" ”

With that, he walked away.

The next morning, Liu Xiu came to visit Li Tong again.

This time Li Tong had already woken up, and when he saw Liu Xiu coming, he wanted to get up from the bed, Liu Xiu stepped forward quickly, pressed him, and said, "Dimension, lie down and don't move, your injury is not healed yet!" ”

Li Tong's face was red, and he said with embarrassment: "This time it was Weichen's carelessness, in broad daylight, he actually fell into the way of an assassin, and he also bothered His Majesty to rush to the new city to visit in person, this is Weichen's fault!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Dimension, don't take all the responsibility on yourself, no one thought that there would be assassins among the county soldiers, and no one thought that assassins would assassinate in public."

It's a fluke that you were able to escape this time! ”

"It's not that Weichen is lucky, but Your Majesty came in time!"

Li Tong said.

Then, he supported his elbow and wanted to sit up, but Liu Xiu held him down and said unhappily: "The injury has not healed, your task now is to take care of the injury." ”

Li Tong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has to rush to Nanyang......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu said: "Dimension, Nanyang, you don't want to go." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"I'll go!"

Liu Xiu said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to send you back to Luoyang!" ”

"But Nanyang's grain is ......" "Nanyang's grain, I think I can also adjust it, and I don't need you, the big boss, to go out in person!"

Liu Xiu said with a smile.

Li Tong said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, it's all the fault of the ministers!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and asked, "How does Ji Yuan feel about his body now?" ”

Li Tong nodded to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has gotten much better. ”

"That's good, continue to recuperate today, and return to Luoyang tomorrow."

Liu Xiu and Li Tong talked for a while before getting up and leaving.

Liu Xiu didn't have time to delay here in Xincheng, so he went to Nanyang that day.

However, this time Liu Xiu did not go to Nanyang with great fanfare, but went quietly in casual clothes.

He left all his imperial chariots and even Yulin, Huben and other retinues in Xincheng and asked them to escort Li Tong back to Luoyang.

In this way, it was made that Liu Xiu came to Xincheng to pick up Li Tong back to Luoyang.

Gongsun Shu wanted to send troops to attack Nanyang, wanting to destroy Nanyang's grain, and Liu Xiu also wanted to plan the plan, so that the Shu soldiers sent by Gongsun Shu would not return.

He took Luo You, Long Yuan, Xu Ying, Jiang Shiyun and others to Nanyang in disguise, and then marched all the way south.

The land of Tuntian of the Nanyang garrison is located between Shandu County and Deng County, which is the southernmost point of Nanyang, after here, and then go south, it is Nanjun, and after Shandu County, and then go west, it is Yizhou, that is, Shudi.

It can be said that the land of Tuntian is very close to Shu, and it is not inconceivable for Gongsun Shu to send troops to attack the Han army's Tuntian in Nanyang.

When Liu Xiu and his entourage approached the Han army station, as far as the eye could see, there were boundless fields.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu dismounted and deliberately walked into the field to check.

Liu Xiu is an expert in growing crops, and he can see how well the ground is turned and how the seeds are planted.

When Liu Xiu was squatting in the field to check, a team of Han soldiers walked over quickly, pointed at Liu Xiu and the others, and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"

This is the military field! ”

Long Yuan stepped forward, took out the military badge from his pocket, and handed it forward.

A Han army leader took the military card, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The military badge is made of iron, and the word Yulin is clearly engraved on it.

Turn it over and look at it, it is engraved with Zuo Zhonglang General.

The five senses of the middle general, the left middle general, and the right middle lang general are all senior generals of the Yulin Army, and the price is more than 2,000 stones.

After looking at the military card handed over by Long Yuan, the team leader hurriedly handed the military card back with both hands, and then intervened to give a salute, saying: "The villain has no eyes, I don't know if the general is visiting, please forgive the general!" ”

Long Yuan waved his hand and put the general's card back into his arms.

The identities of Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao, and Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei are relatively special, and they belong to Liu Xiu's personal guards.

Their official positions are only fictitious and not fixed.

Today they may belong to the Feather Forest, tomorrow they may belong to the Tiger Ben, in short, they have different needs and different identities.

Liu Xiu walked out of the field, patted the soil on his palm, and smiled at the dozen or so Han soldiers: "The land is well planted!" ”

These Han soldiers don't know who Liu Xiu is, but seeing that General Zuo Zhonglang is respectful to this young man, obviously, his identity is above General Zuo Zhonglang, and if he doesn't get it, he has to be Guangluxun, or even a bigger official than Guangluxun.

The team leader is also a good person, and when Liu Xiu approached, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The villain greets the adult!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand to the team leader and asked, "Is your main general in the camp?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Lead the way!"

"Your Excellency, please!"

"Hmm!"

Liu Xiu let the team lead the way and walked forward along the path in the field.

On the way, he asked, "Your boss, but Li Fan?" ”

The team leader owed himself and said, "It's General Li!" ”

Li Pan is Li Tong's cousin, and his current military rank is partial general.

The official position is not large, but there are many people in charge now, there are 30,000 people.

These soldiers and horses were originally Li Tong's subordinates, and after Li Tong was promoted to the position of Grand Sikong, Li Pan replaced Li Tong and temporarily served as the chief general of the whole army.

Of course, Liu Xiu also knew about this matter, and Liu Xiu personally approved it.

After all, it is a crowd of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and if the main general is replaced, how can it be without the consent of the Son of Heaven?

Liu Xiu didn't have a deep impression of Li Fan, and he didn't have much contact, but he trusted Li Tong very much, since he was recommended by Li Tong, he definitely couldn't be wrong, even if the two were relatives, the so-called virtuous people don't avoid relatives! When he came to the Han army camp, the team leader arched his hand to Liu Xiu and said: "Please wait here for the adults, and the small ones will go in to report, I don't know the name of the adults?" ”

Liu Xiu didn't reply, and Long Yuan said: "You just say to Li Fan, Long Yuan asks to see!" ”

The team leader owed himself and ran quickly towards the barracks.

After about two quarters of an hour, a group of Han army generals came out of the camp, led by a young man who was Li Tong's cousin Li Fan.

The soldiers of the Han army don't know Long Yuan, Li Fanke is no stranger to Long Yuan, that is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, under normal circumstances, Long Yuan will not leave the side of the Son of Heaven, this time he suddenly came to Nanyang to find himself, and he may not know what a big thing happened! Li Pan didn't notice Liu Xiu, who was dressed in civilian clothes, but recognized Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao and others at a glance, he grinned secretly, why did all the close ministers around His Majesty come?

What happened in your own barracks?

He walked quickly to Long Yuan, bowed to the ground, and said: "I don't know if the generals are coming, the last general will miss the distance, please forgive the generals!" ”

"Li Fan, in the recent past, has the eyeline of the Shu army been found nearby?"

It was Liu Xiu who opened the question.

Li Pan subconsciously looked for the sound and saw Liu Xiu clearly, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, opened his mouth in surprise, and stammered: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......" Without waiting for him to call out the word "Your Majesty", Liu Xiu waved his hand and asked again: "Answer my question!" ”

Li Pan grunted and swallowed, at this time his brain was in a state of shutdown, and only replied mechanically: "Some time ago, there were often Shu army spies nearby, and later two people were killed by our army, and in recent days, no enemy spies have been found!" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Enter the camp and speak!" ”

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! ”

Li Pan nodded again and again, his chin followed behind Liu Xiu, and a layer of sweat beads appeared on his head.

Until now, he hadn't figured out why His Majesty had suddenly come to his barracks.

Walking in the camp, Liu Xiu kept looking around, and most of the soldiers he saw in the camp were forty years away, and even some were in their fifties, with gray hair, and in addition, there were not a few who lacked arms and legs.

The more Liu Xiu looked, the deeper his brows furrowed.

After entering the Zhongjun tent, Li Pan did not hesitate, immediately knelt on his knees, bowed forward, and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

The generals present belonged to Li Fan, the highest-ranking general, and the rest of the generals were all school captains.

Seeing Li Pan kneeling, calling Liu Xiu His Majesty, and calling himself Weichen, all the captains were stunned and stupid, could it be that this young man who looked about thirty years old was ...... Emperor?

The people were stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

"Let's all be flat!"

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Most of the soldiers I saw in the camp just now are old, weak, sick and disabled in their forties and fifties, why is this? ”

In Liu Xiu's impression, Li Tong's soldiers and horses are all elite soldiers, they followed Li Tong back then, went deep into Shu, and fought hard battles, why have they all become like this now?

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to squeak.

In the end, Li Pan whispered: "Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, our army ...... The able-bodied men of our army are basically ...... Basically, they were all transferred by the Southern Expeditionary Army. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Xiu didn't react for a while.

Li Pan explained: "General Cen said that farming is enough for an individual, but ...... But to fight a war, you need to have elite soldiers, so General Cen placed the old, weak, sick and disabled who had retired from the Southern Expeditionary Army with us, and then transferred the same number of elite soldiers, and after several years of continuous transfer, the soldiers of the whole battalion were ...... It's like this. ”

In this regard, he is also helpless.

What Cen Peng said is not unreasonable, farming, a young man in his twenties and thirties can do it, and a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties can also do it, but when it comes to the battlefield, a young man in his twenties and thirties is much better than a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.

Cen Peng used the old, weak, sick and disabled to exchange them for strong men, which is quite shameless, but it is also reasonable.

Besides, Cen Peng is a general and has brazen capital, what can he say if he is a partial general?

Don't say it's him, even Li Tong, after Cen Peng opened his mouth, it was difficult to say a word.
