When Su Lu received the news that the Li family had been arrested, they were rectifying military affairs outside the camp campus outside Liaoxi City.
If you want to counterattack Sanshanguan, a legion that is skilled in field warfare is indispensable. Now the armies stationed in western Liaoning have been disrupted and reorganized according to their types of arms.
The cavalry, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and scouts were all organized separately. The largest one was the cavalry.
The Qin army is located in the western border and has many horse farms. Therefore, the Qin army has many horses, and the cavalry army is the most prosperous.
The second is the pikemen. During the offensive and defensive battle in western Liaoning, the pikemen led by Su Lu made many achievements, and all the troops were attracted by the pikemen. Therefore, in this army formation, the largest number of soldiers chose pikes as weapons.
Su Lu was watching Ma Ping and Lu Zhan training the spear formation. The two were his personal guards, and they were also trying to compete. This was a pain for the sergeants under his command. Team after team were trained so hard that they couldn't get up.
When Zhao Shuo brought Li Gen over, Su Ping was looking at a soldier named Lu Kang with interest.
This kid has always been the best in spear formation training, but he is also the most thorny. He always makes some mistakes. No, when the spear moved forward just now, one shot blew away the hat on the front of the robe.
Already.
"I heard that the imperial court issued a decree to commend Li Shuai for his sacrifice for the country and his heroic death in battle. Cao Bao even talked to me about this matter and had no intention of taking over the Li family."
Su Lu looked at the two of them with interest.
Li Gen blushed and told what happened. After hearing what Mrs. Li said, Eunuch Lu returned to the capital with the imperial edict and reported the matter to His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and issued a new edict to deprive Mr. Li.
The person's imperial edict was rewarded, and the whole family was sent to jail.
"I also ask the prince to save the general's life. The general has always respected the prince. This time he cannot follow the prince's subordinates. It is only out of filial piety. The general is so benevolent and filial. The prince cannot blame the general for this."
Zhao Shuo also said next to him: "Mrs. Li has brought it upon herself, even if she is asked to be executed, it is not an exaggeration to do so, but General Li Lu should not accept this."
Su Lu waved his hand: "You are going to put me on the fire to roast. Okay, let's get down."
Li Gen wanted to say more, but Ye Qingmei snorted coldly next to him, and two black flag soldiers rushed up and were about to take action.
Zhao Shuo had no choice but to take Li Gen and leave.
After leaving the school grounds, Zhao Shuo said to Li Gen:
"This matter cannot be blamed on the prince. The prince had already given Li Lu a chance that day. In the past few days, he has sent people to send letters. However, Li Lu refused to comply. There is nothing the prince can do about it."
Li Gen nodded and was about to leave and run again when General Xiang Chong came towards him.
"Li Gen, I heard that your general was imprisoned. Why was he imprisoned? Are you here to beg the prince?"
Li Gen responded hurriedly: "General Xiang, it is indeed true. My general has been wronged. I hope the general will save him."
Xiang Chong said: "Then come with me and go see the prince."
Zhao Shuo waved his hand: "General Xiang, don't bother, the prince refused to save us and drove us out."
Xiang Chong was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Does the prince already know?"
Li Gen nodded, with a painful look on his face. He originally thought that the prince would not stand idly by because of the friendship that the commander-in-chief had when he was dying. But now it seems that the prince is not a good person either.
Xiang Chong nodded: "Then you just go back and wait for the news. I believe that as a prince, if I can rescue Brother Li Lu, there will be news within ten days."
Li Gen's eyes widened: "Will the prince save the general?"
Zhao Shuo also had a look of disbelief: "Your Majesty just made it clear that he refused."
Xiang Chong looked at Zhao Shuo in astonishment: "Does General Zhao also think that the prince is a ruthless and unjust person?"
Zhao Shuo had a look of doubt on his face. Could it be that the prince refused to help?
Xiang Chong told Li Gen: "If you are worried, just wait at the door of the prison."
After saying that, Xiang Chong turned around and entered the school grounds.
Ten days later, the imperial guard of honor arrived here.
The counterattack against the barbarians was about to begin. Emperor Qin was invited by Su Lu to march here personally to cheer for the soldiers and to use seals for a series of strategies proposed by Su Lu.
They drove straight into the camp outside Liaoxi City and stationed themselves in the palace that Cao Bao had prepared early.
When Emperor Qin reached middle age, his energy began to decline and his complexion was not very good. After a hasty tour of the military camp, he rested in the big tent.
After dinner, Cao Bao accompanied Su Lu outside the imperial tent.
The Ouchi guards in bright armor checked the official credentials of the two men. The general who faced Su Lu immediately shrank by three inches, with a respectful look on his face.
"Your Majesty has ordered that if the prince arrives, there is no need to inform him, he can just enter the tent directly."
Cao Bao laughed and led Su Lu into the tent:
"Your Majesty, it shows how important you are in His Majesty's mind. You don't have to be acquainted to be recognized. Even the Queen of the country does not receive such treatment."
Entering the big tent, Emperor Qin was having a meal with his bare feet on the thick blanket. When he saw Su Lu coming in, Emperor Qin put down his bowl and walked over with his bare feet.
"Su Qing is here, and these bastards didn't even give a warning, so that I could tidy up my clothes and come to see you. My clothes are disheveled, so don't wait for Su Qing."
Su Lu said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty came here barefoot, which shows the sincerity of the courtesy and virtuous corporal. Although I am not a virtuous man, I am moved enough."
Emperor Qin's face turned a little relaxed, he asked Su Lu to sit on the chair, and said with a wry smile:
"Su Qing laughed. I am considered poor. I have nothing I can do to attract Su Qing. I can only rely on these small means to express my feelings."
"We are well prepared for this expedition. If we are not prepared enough, it is better to wait. Since I came to the throne, I have been fighting against the barbarians for more than ten years. I can afford to wait."
Su Lu sat down on the chair and said after careful consideration: "The preparation is just like that. If you give me another year, I will be able to train a strong army. Although it is not that it can crush the barbarians, it can still be on par. Now.
We only have ten days to organize and train the new army, so its strength is limited."
Emperor Qin looked solemn: "What if it doesn't work?"
Next to him, Cao Bao said: "Your Majesty, we can afford to wait, but the barbarians cannot afford to wait. They will eat up everyone who captures the city. At what point, those cities will be of no use to us."
Emperor Qin's expression froze and he looked at Su Lu: "Su Qing, what do you mean?"
Su Lu smiled and said: "Fortunately, the barbarians have few soldiers, so there is no need for me to defeat the few with more. Otherwise, I would not dare to counterattack. Now, as long as your majesty supports you with money and supplies, I will fight for you in all the lost cities in the western border."
return."
Emperor Qin let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Okay, with Su Qing's words, I will use all my strength to help Su Qing break this cancer, cut out the flesh and scrape the bones, and cure this serious disease."
."
"By the way, Su Qing didn't come to see me just to reassure me."
Su Lu smiled: "Your Majesty, when Li Chengfeng died in the battle that day at the top of the city, I thought of Li Shuai's friendship and accepted his request to be an orphan. If your Majesty wants to punish the Li family in the future, I can protect his two grandchildren.
"
Emperor Qin's face looked a little ugly: "Old Mrs. Li is too insulting. She dares to talk about the Queen Mother and insult me."
Cao Bao said from the side: "Your Majesty, although Li Chengfeng is dull, he died in the city with his head dead. He died on the battlefield and was wrapped in horse leather. He still has a little merit."
Su Lu stood up and said: "The general died in a hundred battles, the strong man returned after ten years, Li Shuai died in a royal affair, but your majesty wants to kill his family. This will chill the hearts of the generals in the army."
Emperor Qin's eyes lit up: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Is this the end of the story?"
Su Lu's face darkened, and he suddenly understood that his being crowned king had little to do with Li Chengfeng.
"No, that day Li Shuai died in the battle on the city wall, I felt something in my heart. I only have these two sentences."
Su Lu's expression also became cold, and he became irritated in his heart. I want to ask you for help. Why are you trying to push me back? Do you really think I don't know how to excuse myself?
