Text Chapter 651: Waiting after the war

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The fighting started at Si hour, and before noon, the north gate, east gate, and west gate of the city were attacked one after another. After noon, even the resistance in the city subsided.  A battle that had made no progress in the South Chang'an Camp and Dongshui Camp for more than a day became simple and efficient after Liu Yu's arrival. Liu Yu even couldn't figure out whether it was the new army's stronger combat effectiveness or the strength of the new army.  He said that before he came, the people in the two battalions were just working hard and did not work hard, and they had to wait for the new army to come before they would work hard.  No matter what, the city was taken down without much cost, but Su Zhe was hiding. Whether he can be found is still a question.  As Liu Yu expected, after the war subsided, the city was still in chaos. Sporadic resistance, coupled with the lack of cooperation from the church members to the court, made it difficult to search for anyone in the city afterwards.  Because the city was besieged in three sieges, a large number of religious people fled from the south gate after the city was broken. There was chaos throughout the city and outside the city. Liu Yu had almost expected this, and he did not criticize it too harshly.  The generals below wanted to catch Su Zhe, and one or two days would be too eager for success.  The war was over, but the army was not happy either. It was originally a war between the army and civilians, with a huge disparity in strength. Moreover, these civilians were civilians of the dynasty, and most of them were Guanzhong people.  The people in Guanzhong have a deep sense of comradeship with the people in Guanzhong. Liu Yu guessed that this was probably the case. Only the people in the two camps were merciful before, which resulted in Lang County not being breached for one day and two nights.  The war is over, and everyone in and outside the city is counting the damage caused by the war and quelling small-scale resistance.  The soldiers also had another important task, which was to search for the leader of the cult in the chaos. They searched for a long time, but to no avail.  By dusk.  The city was still not completely calm, so Liu Yu did not enter the city in person and stayed in the camp outside the city. It was not until the afternoon that he summoned the generals of the three armies who were not on the front line and held a brief summary meeting.  "The legacy of this war is very deep. Lang County is unlikely to return to peace in a short period of time." As soon as it came up, Qu Zhu, who was in charge of intelligence, gave the generals a shot of vaccination to let them understand the tone of this meeting.  .  Judging from the feedback from the front line, after Lang County was captured, the resistance in the city was fierce.  There were also many conflicts between the parishioners and the army. Even the parishioners who laid down their weapons and surrendered would be retaliated by the people in the city.  After all, in the past few days, the religious people have offended not only the troops outside the city, but also most of the ordinary people in the city.  The Catholics took the lives of ordinary people for granted and abandoned the city walls as weapons, which made the common people hate these vicious Catholics. Now with the support of the imperial army, such acts of revenge were repeatedly prohibited.  The army was quelling the chaos. As soon as it calmed down, the army was about to calm down a place, and the people began to stir up chaos again.  Those parishioners who had surrendered also began to resist again, causing conflicts in the city to calm down and then rise up again, with constant twists and turns.  And the army itself didn't want to offend the people of Guanzhong. The result was that the war was unresolved. It was said that the city was broken. After a few hours, various battle reports continued to come out in the city, leaving Liu Yu unable to calm down for a moment.  .  At the summary meeting, the faces of other generals were not good-looking either.  It's not that they don't know how to completely solve this kind of disaster. If there was any chaos in Shun Dynasty in the past and encountered such an unresolved situation, usually the army would use an extreme method to solve it.  That is the massacre of the city.  Only when the butcher's knife is sharpened will the troublemakers stop.  But now Liu Yu is in charge of the army. In the past two years, even if he pacified the Huai King and the Turks, Liu Yu did not order the massacre of the city, let alone the people of Guanzhong now.  When it comes to these generals, they can't be so cruel.  "If you have any insights, feel free to tell us. Let's see if we can put an end to this mess. We might as well go home early." Liu Yu broke the silence of the meeting after a brief silence.  Several direct generals of the New Army said nothing. Although they spoke enthusiastically at military meetings on weekdays, they spoke very little at such a mixed meeting with two major battalions present.  This is like being afraid to speak when outsiders are present. In Liu Yu's opinion, these generals are a bit "shy", but the reality is that these people are arrogant in their bones and look down on other armies except the New Army.  Other armies also looked down on these new army generals who followed Liu Yu's rise.  They can't stand each other.  In this kind of meeting, it was the old-school generals from the two battalions who talked a lot.  "General, we should" In Liu Yu's view, his subsequent speeches did not have much merit. They were all indifferent suggestions, relying on local officials and so on.  What Liu Yu thinks is probably related to the limitations of people's thinking in this era. Although people are roughly equal in intelligence and no one is more cunning or more calculating than anyone else, when it comes to thinking about problems, any small limitation will affect them.  Makes the results very different, not to mention hundreds of years of thinking development.  Liu Yu¡¯s own views onThe focus of his attention is not on calming down the parishioners. Time will always make up for these wounds. What Liu Yu is most concerned about is actually whether Su Zhe's whereabouts can be found.  When the meeting ended, it was already dark. Liu Yu was alone in the big tent and was unhappy. He had been waiting for reports from the Huo Bing Department who had gone out of the city to pursue the escaped parishioners. He very much hoped that Huo Bing could cheer him up.  The news said that Su Zhe had been captured.  In the entire big tent, apart from Liu Yu, there was only Liu Liniang.  Liu Liniang knew very well Liu Yu's reaction after seeing Su Zhe today. She could probably understand Liu Yu's current anxiety and irritability. With such a sword hanging over his head, it would be abnormal for Liu Yu to be happy.  She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she really didn't have any words of comfort.  "Tomorrow, we will go back." Liu Liniang didn't say anything, but Liu Yu said something first.  "So soon?" Liu Liniang thought for a while and said, "Why don't you stay and wait until the situation around Lang County has completely calmed down before leaving?" "It's better to go back. If you stay here, you are always worried about Chang'an City. Maybe Su  Zhe showed up because he wanted me to stay here and lure the tiger away from the mountain. Maybe he didn't flee south and went directly back to Chang'an City?" Liu Liniang didn't know whether Liu Yu was asking her or talking to himself.  Since she met Liu Yu, she has rarely seen Liu Yu looking so depressed. Especially after the two established a relationship, Liu Yu rarely loses his temper in front of her or seems to be so depressed.  generally.  "I'll take a nap first." Liu Yu leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.  Said, "If there is any news, please remember to wake me up." "Young Master Twelve, why don't you go to bed later?" Liu Liniang then remembered that Liu Yu had been on the road these two days and was leading troops in battle.  Rest has not been good, but on the contrary, she is in good spirits. Liu Yu specially asked her to rest and get some sleep before the war, while Liu Yu himself has been arranging some pre-war arrangements, meeting one group of people after another.  .  No time to rest at all.  "No need." Liu Yu said, "If you stay here, if there is any news or emergencies, you won't have to deal with them in a hurry. It's a rare peace" Not long after Liu Yu finished speaking, he was already feeling slightly intoxicated.  Fell asleep.  Liu Liniang thought that Liu Yu was too tired and threw his head back to sleep.  Liu Liniang originally thought that news from Huo Bing would come back soon, but until after midnight, there was still no news from Huo Bing, even though the camp outside was very chaotic.  But the Chinese army's tent was very quiet. Liu Liniang waited until midnight with all her strength, but she couldn't help but wanted to go to sleep, but Liu Yu also woke up.  "Go to sleep if you want." Liu Yu came over and looked at Liu Liniang who was sitting on the wooden steps and yawning with a smile. "Go back to the inner tent. Anyway, you have nothing to do tonight. If your people come over, I will let you sleep."  They left the message directly. Didn't you want me to go to bed with you?" Liu Liniang smiled. It was rare that Liu Yu still had the intention to joke at this time.  Although we have won the war today.  The army conquered Lang County, but Liu Yu never expressed any happiness. She understood that Liu Yu didn't care about a county like Lang County and how many parishioners there were in the city.  What Liu Yu cares about is the stability of a country and a dynasty. If there was no Su Zhe behind the Three Puritans, Liu Yu would not have to do everything personally.  Originally, Su Zhe was just a has-been King of Chu and the prince of the old emperor. Liu Liniang didn't even dare to believe that Liu Yu would care so much about Su Zhe. She thought about it, maybe it was because of the rumors from the outside world that Liu Yu had usurped the throne.  related.  There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if Liu Yu does not admit it, many people in the country and the court are still saying that Liu Yu usurped the throne. As for how he usurped the throne, there are various rumors in the market.  Because there is a knotty knot in the rumors that cannot be untied, that is, how Liu Yu concealed it from the old emperor Su Yunyang and the then right minister Yuan Bolang at the same time. Therefore, these news were just spread among the people, and no one took them too seriously, especially in the  When Liu Yu was at the height of his power, those who spread rumors were even more afraid of getting into trouble.  Liu Liniang got up, but did not go to the back tent to sleep immediately. She still wanted to stay with Liu Yu until the end.  Liu Yu didn't force her, and the two of them sat quietly in the big tent for a while. Liu Liniang couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Twelve Young Masters, the matter of the Three Puritans is probably about to be settled, why do you still have so much money?"  Tell me what's on your mind, okay?" Liu Yu glanced sideways at Liu Liniang and smiled. There was no bitterness in the smile, but a warm feeling.  "Liniang, you want to ask why I care so much about the leader of the Three Purities Sect?" Liu Yu said with a smile.  Liu Liniang explained: "The slave family has no other intentions" "Concealing it from others is just hiding it. From you, Liniang, I hid it, just like a child who lies, sooner or later adults will find out. Concealing it is also in vain." Liu Liniang  Hearing this, Liu Yu seemed to be laughing at himself and didn't seem to believe her.  Liu Liniang understood that Liu Yu was talking about the accuracy of Liu Liniang¡¯s investigation intelligence.So much so that the court had nothing to hide.  But in fact, Liu Liniang was also doubtful about Liu Yu's usurpation of the throne, because judging from the events of the old emperor's passing of the throne, there were no signs that the old emperor would pass the throne to the then ninth prince Su Yan, and this  Liu Yu was the biggest beneficiary in the end.  Afterwards, Liu Liniang thought about it and felt that Liu Yu usurped the throne in all likelihood.  But now she and E Liu Yu felt that the possibility of this matter being true was only 10 to 20 percent.  If you have a narrow mind, your results will naturally be different.  "To tell you the truth, Liniang, actually" Liu Yu finally sighed, "To be honest, I did snatch the emperor's position from that person. As for how, Liniang, please don't blame me, I don't want to say.  " Even if Liu Yu didn't go into too much detail, Liu Liniang was still shocked. Liu Yu actually told her that he was a powerful official who had usurped the throne.  How much courage does it take to admit it?
