All the casualties are so casualties, so we still have to go?
Moreover, the rain has been falling! It has never stopped.
Everyone's feet were soaked in the mud, and the war horses were exhausted. Going to the front line like this would be a death sentence.
But the emperor was ignorant and started to talk big with King Rencheng, King Dongyang and others.
Rencheng Wang said: "It seems that there is a bloody battle ahead..."
"That's for sure. The last time I led my troops to fight in person, and encountered a flood, we and the Southern Dynasties each lost 300,000 troops. The scene was really tragic and anxious. The war on the front line and the comfortable life in the rear were completely different."
"Five or six hundred thousand people died at a time? It's so terrible."
The King of Dongyang sighed, "This is nothing. When Taizu defeated the Yan army in Chanhe Pond, he buried 80,000 enemies alive. The next year, the Emperor Murong Chui of the Great Yan came to attack us. When he was proud, he entered Chanhe Pond.
Seeing the piles of white bones, I vomited blood on the spot and then died of illness. Years have passed, and the deceased is still in dispersed..."
The emperor sighed: "This time we go south, I am afraid that it is more dangerous than the Battle of Chanhebei... Alas..."
...
No one can stand it anymore.
One of his emperor brothers first asked: "Brother, aren't you scaring us?"
"Why should I scare you? When you arrive at the front line, you will naturally know what a real war is..."
...
Everyone, look at me, I can’t stand it anymore!
A minister finally couldn't help it: "Your Majesty, it's raining every day now. Look, Luoyang is less than ten miles ahead. Let's go in and rest for two days before getting on the road..."
The emperor smiled bitterly: "I want to rest too, but the soldiers are fighting bloody. I think, let's do it. We should not enter Luoyang, and we will rush to reinforce the front line overnight, otherwise we will miss the military opportunity..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a cry of crying: "Emperor...Emperor..."
Except for the two old princes, everyone knelt down.
The emperor was anxious: "What are you doing? Stop being too slow, hurry up and get on the road..."
"Your Majesty, we can't walk anymore. We have been rushing for more than a month and are trapped in the crowd. We all unanimously requested to go to Luoyang, Xindu, please forgive me..."
————————————————————The section on Emperor Xiaowen’s capital is basically followed by historical materials:)) This is a rare typical case of whether there is a violent demolition to successfully move the capital. As you can see, Li Huanzi has always been more treacherous
. Emperor Xiaowen was rare among the monarchs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was talented and not cruel. I always thought that he was the only emperor in history who was "strong and romantic". For details about Li Huan's story, please see "The Little Who Became a Tyrant in Time Travel"
