Chapter 651 Waiting after the war

The war started at Si time. Before noon, the north gate, east gate and west gate were successively captured. After noon, even the resistance in the city subsided.

A war in the South Chang'an Camp and the Dongshui Camp for more than a day had no progress. When Liu Yu arrived, everything became simple and efficient. Liu Yu couldn't even understand whether it was the new army's combat effectiveness, or whether the two camps were just working but not working hard before he came, and had to wait until the new army arrived before he was willing to work hard.

No matter what, the city was taken down, and it didn't cost much. It was just that Su Zhe hid, and whether he could find it was still a question.

As Liu Yu expected, after the war quelled, the city was still in chaos. Scattered resistance, coupled with the disagreement of the church's disagreement with the court, it was difficult to search anyone in the city afterwards. Because the siege of the city was siege, it also led to a large number of church people escaping from the south gate of the city after the city was broken, and the whole city was in chaos. Liu Yu had almost expected that he did not blame the generals below and wanted to catch Su Zhe, and he was too eager to achieve success in one day or two days.

The war ended, but the army was not happy either. It was originally a war with the army fighting civilians and the strength gap was huge. Moreover, these civilians were still the people of Shun Dynasty, and most of them were Guanzhong. Guanzhong people had a deep sense of companionship towards Guanzhong people. Liu Yu guessed that this was probably the case. Only the people from the two camps would show mercy before, resulting in Lang County not being captured in one or two nights.

When the war ended, everyone inside and outside the city was counting the damage of the war and calming down small-scale resistance. The soldiers also had an important task, which was to find the leader of the cult in the chaos. After searching for a long time, there was no result.

By dusk, the city had not yet completely calmed down, 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 who were not on the front line of the army and held a brief summary meeting.

"This war is very serious. In the short term, Lang County will not be able to calm down." As soon as he came up, Qu Zhu, who was in charge of intelligence, gave the generals a shot of the tone of the meeting, so that they could understand the tone of the meeting.

Judging from the feedback from the front line, after Lang County was captured, the resistance in the city was very fierce. There were also many conflicts between the priests and the army. Even the priests who surrendered will be retaliated by the people in the city. After all, in the past few days, the priests have offended not only the army outside the city, but also most ordinary people in the city. In the past few days, the priests have taken the lives of ordinary people as jokes and left the city as weapons, which made the people hate these vicious priests. Now with the support of the imperial army, this kind of revenge has been repeatedly banned.

The army was quelling the rebellion. As soon as the army settled down, the army wanted to quell the next place, and the people began to cause chaos again. Those who had surrendered also began to resist again, resulting in the conflict in the city being settled again, and the ups and downs were constantly. The army itself did not want to offend the people of Guanzhong, and the result was that the war was still unresolved. It was said that the city was broken, and after several hours, various war reports were still coming out in the city, which made Liu Yu unable to calm down for a moment.

At the summary meeting, the other generals looked bad. In fact, they didn't know how to completely solve this kind of disaster. If there were any chaotic things in the former dynasty and encountered such an unresolved situation, usually the army would solve it in an extreme way. That is, the massacre of the city. Only by sharpening the butcher knife, those who make trouble will calm down.

But now Liu Yu is in charge of the army. In the past two years, even King Huai and Turks have not ordered the city to be slaughtered, let alone the people facing the Guanzhong people now. If they are on these generals, they cannot make up their minds.

"If you have any ideas, just talk about it. Let's see if you can completely calm the chaos. We can go home early." After a brief silence, Liu Yu broke the silence atmosphere of the meeting.

The direct generals of the new army did not say anything. Although they spoke enthusiastically at the military meetings on weekdays, they rarely spoke in such a mixed meeting with two battalions present. It was like outsiders present and they dared not speak. In Liu Yu's opinion, these generals were a little "shy", but in fact, these people were arrogant in their bones and looked down on other armies other than the new army, and the other armies looked down on these new army generals who rose with Liu Yu. They couldn't see each other.

In this kind of meeting, those who talk a lot were the old generals from the two camps.

"General, we should..."

In Liu Yu's opinion, the subsequent speeches were not desirable, and they were all suggestions that were not painful, and they depended on local governments, etc. What Liu Yu thought was probably related to the limitations of people's thinking in this era. Although people's intelligence is roughly equivalent, no one is more cunning or calculating than anyone else, when thinking about problems, a small limitation will make the result very different, let alone hundreds of years of thinking development.

Liu Yu's focus on the people is not on calming down the severance of the people. Time will always make up for these traumas. What Liu Yu is most concerned about is whether Su Zhe's whereabouts are found.

When the meeting ended, it was already night, Liu Yu was alone in the tent and was silent. He had been waiting for the report from Huo Bing's troops who had left the city to pursue the escape from the religious people. He hoped that Huo Bing would give him the news that Su Zhe had been taken down.

In the entire tent, except for Liu Yu, only Liu Liniang. Liu Liniang knew Liu Yu's reaction after seeing Su Zhe today. She could probably understand Liu Yu's current anxiety and irritability. If Liu Yu was happy with such a sword hanging over his head, it would be abnormal. She wanted to comfort her, but she really had no words of comfort.

"We'll go back tomorrow."

Liu Liniang didn't say anything, but Liu Yu said something first.

"So quickly?" Liu Liniang thought for a while and said, "Don't stay, wait until the matter around Lang County is completely calmed before leaving?"

"It's better to go back. Staying here is always uneasy to the other side of Chang'an City. Maybe Su Zhe showed up just to let me stay here and lure me out of the mountain. Maybe he didn't escape south and went back to Chang'an City directly?"

Liu Liniang didn't know whether Liu Yu was asking her or talking to herself. Since she met Liu Yu, she had almost rarely seen Liu Yu look so depressed, especially after the two confirmed their relationship, Liu Yu rarely lost his temper in front of her or was as if he was listless.

"I'll sleep for a while." Liu Yu leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes. He said, "If there is any news, remember to wake me up."

"Twelve Young Master, go to sleep after you're not allowed?" Liu Liniang then remembered that Liu Yu had been rushing to go on the road these two days and led his troops to fight. She had been not resting well, but on the contrary, she was in good spirits. Liu Yu specially asked her to rest and replenish her sleep before the war, while Liu Yu herself had been arranging some pre-war arrangements, and after seeing a group of people, she had no time to rest.

"No need." Liu Yu said, "Stay here, if there is any news or emergencies, you won't be too busy to deal with it. A rare peace..."

Shortly after Liu Yu finished speaking, he fell asleep with a slight hearth. Liu Liniang thought that Liu Yu was too tired and tilted her head to sleep.

Liu Liniang originally thought that news would be coming back soon, but until midnight, there was still no letter from Huo Bing. Although the camp outside was very chaotic, the central army tent was very quiet. Liu Liniang forced herself to wait until midnight, and she couldn't help but want to go to bed, but Liu Yu woke up.

"If you want to sleep, go to bed." Liu Yu walked over and looked at Liu Liniang who was yawning on the wooden stairs aside. "Go back to the inner tent. Anyway, you have nothing to do tonight. If your people come, I will ask them to leave the news directly. Don't you want me to go to bed with you, right?"

Liu Liniang smiled. It was rare that Liu Yu still had the intention to joke at this time.

Although the war was won today. The army captured Lang County, Liu Yu had never expressed any happiness. She understood that Liu Yu didn't care about such a county town as Lang County and how many religious people in the city. Liu Yu cared about 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 himself. Originally, Su Zhe was just an outdated King of Chu, but the prince of the old emperor. Liu Liniang didn't even dare to believe that Liu Yu would care about Su Zhe so much. She thought about it, it might be related to the outside world that Liu Yu usurped the throne.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if Liu Yu doesn't admit it, there are still many people in the middle and court saying that Liu Yu usurped the throne back then. As for how he usurped the throne, there are many rumors in the market. Because there is a knot in the rumors that Liu Yu could not be untied, that is, how Liu Yu concealed the old emperor Su Yunyang and Yuan Bolang, then the right prime minister at the time. So it would be fine if these news was spread among the people, and no one took it seriously, especially when Liu Yu was at its peak, the people who spread the rumors were even more afraid of causing trouble.

Liu Liniang got up, but she didn't go to the back tent to go to bed immediately. She still wanted to accompany Liu Yu until the end.

Liu Yu didn't force her, so the two of them sat quietly in the tent for a while. Liu Liniang couldn't help but ask, "Twelve Young Master, the affairs of the Third Pure Land are about to calm down. Why do you still have so many worries? Let me tell you, okay?"

Liu Yu looked at Liu Liniang sideways and smiled. There was no bitterness in the smile, but a little warm feeling.

"Li Niang, are you trying to ask, why do I care so much about the leader of the Third Pure Sect?" Liu Yu said with a smile.

Liu Liniang explained: "I have no other meaning..."

"If you hide it from others, you will hide it. I will hide it from you, Li Niang. It's like a child lying. Sooner or later, it will be discovered by adults. It's in vain to conceal it."

When Liu Liniang heard this, Liu Yu seemed to be mocking herself, and seemed to not believe her very much. Liu Liniang understood that Liu Yu was talking about the accuracy of Liu Liniang's investigation of information, so that there was nothing to hide in the court. But in fact, Liu Liniang was also skeptical about Liu Yu's usurpation of the throne, because judging from the fact that the old emperor passed the throne, there was no sign at that time, saying that the old emperor would pass the throne to the ninth prince Su Yan at that time, and Liu Yu was the ultimate beneficiary of this matter.

Afterwards, Liu Liniang thought that it was nine out of ten to Liu Yu usurp the throne. But now she and E Liu Yu felt that the possibility of this was only one or two.

If you have a narrow mind, the results of looking at problems will naturally be different.

"I'm not hiding it from you, Li Niang, actually..." Liu Yu sighed at the end, "To be honest, I did... rob the throne of that person. As for how he robbed it, Li Niang please don't blame me. I don't want to say it, and I can't say it."

Even if Liu Yu didn't say too much in detail, Liu Liniang was shocked. Liu Yu actually told her that he was a powerful minister who usurped the throne. How courage would it take to admit it?
