262. Retire if not good
Liu Yu swayed into the Jiaofang Hall, and the palace maids inside knelt down on the ground, then lowered their heads and retreated one by one.
Fan Taohua came forward to greet her. As soon as she gave the salute, she said angrily: "Your Majesty, how can you talk about your husband and wife? You can hear your intimacy and intimacy no matter how far away you are, and you don't feel ashamed!"
"Men and wife are a big deal. I have a good relationship with my queen, but I am not someone else. What's so shameful about me?"
"Hmph, go find your Concubine Yang! Don't be here to pretend to be attentive!" The queen seemed to be unhappy and did not give the emperor any face.
Liu Yu sniffed, sniffed around, and said deliberately: "What a big sour smell, is the queen jealous?"
The queen raised her sleeves and put them under her nose to smell them, "The dumplings I ate today were dipped in some vinegar."
Liu Yu laughed silently, but he forgot that the allusion of jealousy came from Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty, and he had not said jealous at this time!
The emperor sat down carelessly and said, "The rebels disturbed the court, and the court is uneasy. I plan to conquer Lu Fang in person. I will set off in a while. Please ask the queen to worry about the matter in the palace."
"What can happen in the palace? Isn't it just that Guiren Yang has a body? Are His Majesty worried?"
"I am not worried. With the queen here, I feel relieved. Peach blossoms, you are my virtuous support."
Fan Taohua said seriously: "As the queen, she is in charge of the six palaces. Regardless of whether Your Majesty is here or not, I have always been the ones in this palace. Your Majesty does not need to give special instructions. Is your Majesty worried that I can't take good care of Concubine Yang Jie?"
The emperor was a little embarrassed when she told him the truth. Fortunately, he was so dark that he couldn't tell.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "I just said casually, why are you too careless?"
Fan Taohua said, "As soon as your majesty opens, it is an imperial edict. How dare I not obey the order? But I also ask Your Majesty to learn that the former concubine often said that the soldiers in the camp should love each other, as close as brothers and sisters. My father and Yang Jieyu's uncle General Zhenxi were brothers, and my concubine and Yang were also sisters who grew up together. When she was pregnant, I would naturally take care of her properly. This is the love of the old camp. What's more, what she cared about is Your Majesty's flesh and blood! If I take care of her, even if I take care of Your Majesty's children, it is also to save Your Majesty's worries. This is my duty, why should Your Majesty say too much?"
Liu Yu suddenly stepped forward, hugged the queen, blocked her mouth suddenly, and said vaguely: "Stop talking nonsense, let's do some serious things!"
He knew that the queen was a little unhappy at this time. He couldn't say the current situation any more, so he simply took something simple and rough and put the matter in the beginning.
As it turned out, this strategy was quite successful. The queen felt comfortable and her mood improved. This matter passed.
Since then, Fan Taohua has been more thoughtful to Yang Suqing than before, and has sent additional staff to her, serving her diligently every day, and constantly changing her diet, as if she is afraid that she will not eat well and affect the children in her belly.
The emperor was relieved. It seemed that peach blossoms were still very kind. There would be no scenes in modern palace fighting dramas in Changle Palace. The palace maids and eunuchs also praised them, saying that the queen was really virtuous. Not only was she not jealous, but she treated Concubine Yang so kindly.
Only Yang Suqing himself knew that she and the queen could never go back. In the past, they were relatively relaxed and casual, and they were not wary of each other. They were very good sisters. But now they always seemed to be separated by a layer, with more politeness and less closeness.
Yang Suqing felt a little bitter in her heart, but she was soon diluted by the joy of being a mother.
In order to make Yang Jieyu pregnant, His Majesty the Emperor asked the Imperial Hospital to recruit more female doctors, especially those who know how to deliver babies and serve the mothers, carefully train and prepare to serve the royal family. Therefore, a famous female doctor Chun Yu Zhao, a female doctor was established under the Imperial Hospital, which was specifically responsible for treating women's diseases and taking care of pregnant women and mothers.
Regarding the rebellion of Lu Fang, although his second brother Liu Mao said that he could lead troops to fight, the emperor decided to fight in person. He entrusted the state affairs to King Chengyang Liu Gong and handed over the southern attack on Hanzhong to his second brother Liu Mao.
In May of the third year of Jianwu, Liu Yu led his army 30,000 to the north and rushed to Anding County. It was a big deal for the emperor to personally expedition. The postman ran back and forth, and the road was filled with the road, conveying the emperor's will and the war reports ahead.
The emperor ordered the Tianshui Prefect Yang Yin to send troops to settle down and fight Gaoping. He ordered Wumi, the commander of the northern county in Shangjun to send troops to attack Beidi County, and to complete the contribution to the northern border county.
The army marched to Yunyang, and the emperor ordered camping and stayed there for several days. During a few days, the powerful men from Anding and the northern land continued to join in. They led their own private soldiers, carrying furs and good horses, drove cattle and sheep, and paid tribute to His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, Liu Yu never refused to come, hosted a banquet to entertain everyone, comforted everyone with kind words, and rewarded them with great rewards.
Not long after, the front army came to report that the Mu Hong's troops, as the vanguard, had arrived in Yinpan, and joined the local Han army, gathered more than 10,000 people, and approached the Wu family. The Wu family was stationed by Lu Fang's army of 5,000 and thousands of local powerful soldiers who were dependent on him. When they heard that the Han army was attacking, they abandoned the city and took the initiative to fight.
The two sides fought fiercely beside the Wushui River. Lu Fang's army was quite similar to the Huns' tactics, basically surrounding the enemy's cavalry. Mu Hong's army was mainly based on the small sound camp, and the best at archery was archery. Moreover, the small sound camp was different from the sound camp. They were all archers, headed by Mu Hong, and they all fired arrows in a series of speeds, and the speed was dazzling. Although there were only a few thousand people, it seemed like ten thousand people were shooting scattered, with arrows like locusts, covering the sky and the sun, and the enemy cavalry fell one after another.
Lu Fang's army left hundreds of corpses and fled in a panic. After escaping, they fled completely. They gave up on the Wu family and retreated dozens of miles northward until they stopped.
After all, Lu Fang's subordinates were in border counties for a long time and were mixed with the Huns. They were somewhat influenced by them. They advance when they benefited and retreat when they were not. They could occupy the territory if they could. They felt that they could not occupy it, and they did not defend themselves. They gave up immediately and escaped decisively, and never dragged on the mud.
Mu Hongzhen was considered a vanguard. He actually bit the enemy's tail and chased him straight, without relaxing at all. However, the opponent was mainly cavalry, while the Han army was mostly infantry, and the speed was far lower than that of the opponent.
Originally, Mu Hong had no hope of catching up with the rebels, but after the rebels continued to go north, they suddenly discovered that an enemy appeared behind them.
It turned out that Tian Wuji, who was defending Gaoping, suddenly broke out of the city and led three thousand elite troops to the south, attacked Xiaoguan, firmly blocked the road and blocked the enemy's return to the north.
