A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes, and he looked directly at Hu Wenshou: "Hu Changshi, what do you mean by this? Today I came to report military information to General Xu in a humble position, but you provoked him everywhere and doubted the motives of your humble position. How can you do this?
What’s the benefit?”
Hu Wenshou was stunned at first, and then said sternly: "How dare you, Liu Yu! I am the long history of this city, and my official position is above this. You, a small owner of a small building, how dare you be so rude to Shangguan!"
Liu Yu did not flinch, looked directly at Hu Wenshou, and said calmly: "Since you are an officer, you should benefit the whole city. In this critical time, you should live and die with the whole city's soldiers and civilians. Instead of sowing discord here and creating trouble between superiors and inferiors.
Confrontation, other things can be ignored, but what I came here to do today is related to the success or failure of defending the city. There is no room for negligence. Even if you impose a crime on me, I will say what I want to say and what I should say.
come out!"
Hu Wenshou was so angry that he trembled all over and raised his hands to Xu Yuanxi: "General, this person is so wild and rebellious that even in front of you, you don't take me as a superior officer seriously. Please take him down immediately to correct him."
military discipline!"
Liu Yu laughed, his eyes suddenly shone with light, and his whole body burst out with awe. With the strong wind blowing into the hall at this time, his shirt stained with the blood of the enemy fluttered: "Who dares to take me!
"
Liu Yu's war-god-like domineering burst made the more than ten guards in the palace tremble slightly with their hands on the hilts of their swords. Even the dozen or so strongest guards under Xu Yuanxi were not as powerful as Liu Yu in front of him.
How can you dare to make a move when you are completely suppressed?
Xu Yuanxi was also intimidated by Liu Yu's momentum, and his voice stuttered, but he still tried his best to maintain his authority: "Liu Yu, you, what do you want to do?!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth, pressed his fist to his chest, and performed a formal military salute: "General, you are the commander in chief of this city. The lives of all the soldiers in this city depend on your single thought. I have no other thoughts in this humble position. If
Shouchun was able to get out of the siege, and the humble official turned around and left, never staying for a moment. This Shouchun was the Shouchun of the Jin Dynasty, not something I, Liu Yu, or Xie Zhenjun could have if I wanted to. Taking ten thousand steps back, if the Xie family really
If you want this Shouchun, General Xu, can you ask yourself if you can keep it?"
Xu Yuanxi was dumbfounded, but speechless. Hu Wenshou gritted his teeth and said: "In the Jin Dynasty, there is not only the Xie family, but also the Huan family, and the Huan governor is here. The Xie family will not let the Xie family do whatever they want."
Liu Yu said seriously: "General Xu, you and I are both soldiers. Soldiers are supposed to protect our country and not get involved in these upper-level political affairs. All I can think about now is how to defend Shouchun City. And in order to achieve this goal,
How can a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for a humble job without even giving up his life take a fancy to Shouchun City? Your current governor's office is also a granary, and it is related to the survival of the whole city, so you must be cautious!"
Xu Yuanxi gritted his teeth and stood up: "Zhu Liu, I know your painstaking efforts and appreciate your performance in defending the city. But what Hu Changshi said makes sense. The governor's office is related to my majesty. If
If the general loses his authority, then the military orders will no longer work. Well, I will transfer Xu Yuanlang back to the governor's office, plus the guards of the prison, and the general's bodyguard, and keep them under strict supervision, and prepare more fire-extinguishing water and lime sand.
That’s it.”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "What about the prisoners in the prison cell?"
Xu Yuanxi said in a deep voice: "According to what Hu Changshi just said, ordinary petty criminals will be included in the ranks of the civilian guards, while Yang Qiu and the thieves will be personally guarded by this general!"
Liu Yu originally wanted to fight again, but Xu Yuanxi turned his head to the other side. Obviously, his determination had been made. Liu Yu knew that in Xu Yuanxi's view, this matter was to maintain the dignity of himself as a general. Hu Wenshou's provocations,
It has obviously worked. If you continue to fight at this time, it will only be counterproductive.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu sighed inwardly and shook his head helplessly: "Then I will abide by the general's decision and go back to Beicheng. However, I also ask the general to pay attention to this granary and strictly guard it, especially fire prevention."
Xu Yuanxi waved his hand impatiently: "Zhu Zhuang Liu, I have led troops for many years. I don't understand the art of war as well as you. Do you need to remind me again and again? Go back to Beicheng. Since you said you must guard to the death, then General
The originally scheduled patrol to Beicheng should be postponed for now until the defense change of the Governor's Mansion is completed. Oh, by the way, after you return to Beicheng, ask Xu Yuanlang to bring ten personal guards back quickly. I still have them here.
Get him."
Without saying a word, Liu Yu performed a military salute, lifted up his cloak, turned around and left. It was not until his figure disappeared far outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion that everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. The dozen or so people
The guards all wiped the beads of sweat from their foreheads. The tense atmosphere just now made these people unable to breathe.
Xu Yuanxi cursed bitterly: "You're useless trash, you're in disgrace, why don't you get out of here!"
The dozen or so guards retreated one after another as if they had been granted amnesty. Only Xu Yuanxi and Hu Wenshou were left in the hall, just as they were before Liu Yugang entered the hall.
Hu Wenshou sighed: "General, why didn't you order Liu Yu to be taken down just now? This guy is too arrogant and doesn't take you seriously at all."
Xu Yuanxi's face turned slightly red: "This kid is full of murderous intent. You saw it just now. None of my men dared to take action. If we really want to give the order, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage. It's better to think about it in the long run."
Hu Wenshou nodded: "That's right. After all, the general has kept your bottom line this time and did not let the governor's office be smeared with mud. It also means that he did not let Liu Yu do whatever he wanted. This is victory. As long as the food is in our hands,
Liu Yu would not dare to be disrespectful to you."
Xu Yuanxi looked at Hu Wenshou and frowned: "Old Hu, do you think Liu Yu really wants to replace me? Listening to what he just said, it seems that he was speaking righteously, which is not the case. Are we wrong?
Where are they?"
Hu Wenshou sighed: "No matter what he thinks, if he challenges your authority again and again, I'm afraid that the hearts and minds of the people in the city will turn to him. Besides, he came here today obviously for
Ma Ni, in fact, you are still interested in those military rations. If you give in a little bit, he might take the rations as his own. What will the general do to restrain Liu Yu then?"
Xu Yuanxi nodded: "What you said makes sense, forget it, let's not mention it here. But what Liu Yu said makes sense. You must not be careless about the fire prevention of the Governor's Mansion. It's really not possible. Don't wipe mud outside.
You can also put it on the inside."
Hu Wenshou lowered his head and bowed deeply to his waist: "I will obey the general's military order!"
