Chapter 373: Experience the fear of being besieged by barbarians
Su Lu walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
There was silence in the big tent, except for the sound of Emperor Qin's heavy breathing, which was like blowing a bellows.
The guards and maids were as silent as a cicada. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to move. They were afraid that Emperor Qin would be displeased and find an excuse to attack him.
"Okay okay"
Emperor Qin said angrily three times and then asked Cao Bao next to him.
"Cao Bao, tell me, if Su Lu is so arrogant, how can the kings and ministers of Han tolerate him?"
"Although you are not from Qin, you are now a minister of Qin. You are so arrogant that you want to rebel."
Cao Bao didn't dare to speak. He waited until Emperor Qin had vented his anger before speaking cautiously.
"Your Majesty, this servant has something to say. I wonder if I should say it or not?"
Emperor Qin waved his hand: "If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it."
"Go, give me Xuan Xiangchong. Zhao Shuo and other generals will come in. I want to ask them if this battle can still be fought?"
Cao Bao felt ashamed and did not dare to say anything. He left the camp to gather the generals.
It didn't take long for the generals to gather in the tent.
Emperor Qin looked at the generals kneeling on one knee and asked coldly.
"Without Su Lu leading the troops, who among the ministers would dare to lead the army and defeat the Three Mountain Pass?"
Xiang Chong and Zhao Shuo, who were kneeling on the ground, looked at each other with astonishment on their faces. The prince was not commanding the army. How could His Majesty say such a thing?
Are you talking about dividing the army?
The minds of several generals were aroused. Without a prince to command the army, that meant that a prince commanding the army would attract most of the barbarians.
He only led an army to attack Sanshan Pass, but there was hope that he could win it. After all, these soldiers were all trained by the prince's subordinates.
Tian Heng said loudly: "Return to your majesty, the last general will dare."
Immediately afterwards, several generals also spoke one after another: "Even the last general dares."
Zhao Shuo and Xiang Chong looked at each other, and both saw the astonishment on each other's faces. Why did these Sun Tzu become so powerful? When Liaoxi was attacking and defending, they shrank like Sun Tzu. How could His Majesty be so high-spirited and brave when he came?
Counterattacked.
Emperor Qin suddenly became happy.
All the generals are fighting bravely, and the military morale is usable. They are all generals trained by one person. The other generals who lead the army are not much different. Su Lu also said that if they are not strong troops trained for a long time, he can only fight against the barbarians.
Can rely on more to defeat less.
"good very good"
Emperor Qin stood up, his face full of joy, and the anger in his heart because of Su Lu's departure disappeared.
"The generals listen to the order, take Tian Heng as the commander, choose a day to send out the army, and attack Sanshan Pass. How to march, the generals can do it easily."
The kneeling generals were stunned for a moment, especially Tian Heng, whose face turned a little pale.
what's the situation?
Make me the commander-in-chief?
Tian Heng asked confusedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, isn't the coach a prince?"
Emperor Qin waved his hand: "Su Lu disobeyed your Majesty. I asked him to go back and meditate. When will he figure it out, I will let him lead the army again."
The tent instantly became quiet.
The generals who had taken the lead were stunned, and they secretly regretted why they had taken the lead just now. It was because of the bad luck of the barbarians that they actually gave themselves the idea of becoming a general.
Look at Zhao Shuo and Xiang Chong, the two people most trusted by the prince. They didn't even give a shit. If they stand out on their own, they are really looking for death.
The performance of the generals in the audience fell in Emperor Qin's eyes, and his heart instantly went cold.
what's the situation?
"Tian Heng, why, if the prince doesn't lead the army, you don't dare to lead it alone?"
Tian Heng knelt down on his knees and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "Your Majesty is generous, but the general is stupid. If the prince leads the army to block most of the barbarians, and only a few hundred barbarians are left to guard Sanshan Pass, the general will still dare to attack Sanshan Pass."
"Then what do I need from you?"
Emperor Qin glared at Tian Heng, if Su Lu could be used, why would I let you losers become generals?
"Xiang Chong, how long have you been away from Sulu? Have you come to serve as a general?"
Emperor Qin directly ordered the general.
Xiang Chong raised his body and said respectfully: "Your Majesty ordered me to be a general. Naturally, I dare not not be a general. However, I have made it clear that the barbarians are powerful and Li Shuai cannot do it. My time to serve the prince is still short.
I dare not say victory over the barbarians."
Emperor Qin's expression changed and he looked at Zhao Shuo next to him.
"Zhao Shuo, you are here to serve as a general. As a member of the royal family, you should share my worries."
Zhao Shuo's body trembled. Su Lu sent his troops to defend the city. Zhao Shuo basically killed the enemy at the top of the city. He had many achievements of barbarian heads. He knew his own ability. Even in a battle with dozens of people, he could not stop the barbarian attack.
city, not to mention fighting in the plains and attacking Sanshan Pass.
After bowing to the ground again, Zhao Shuo said in a deep voice.
"I know that your Majesty does not want the prince to command the army, but the barbarians are powerful and famous generals like Commander Li and Xiao Yan are not qualified to be generals. If I am so stupid, I can only waste the lives of our Qin brothers."
After Zhao Shuo finished speaking, he bowed again.
"Your Majesty, please think twice before attacking the barbarians, and the prince should lead the army first."
All the generals knelt down and spoke loudly.
"Your Majesty, please think twice before attacking the barbarians, and the prince should lead the army first."
Emperor Qin suddenly stood up and walked around like a furious lion about to choose someone to devour.
"you……"
"A bunch of trash, what's the use of the country raising you."
"No one can share my worries. I don't believe that without him, no one can lead the army."
"Come, go to the court and gather all the generals. Kang Sun and Zhao Congshan, I don't believe it. There is no one who can lead the army."
…
When Su Lu received the news, it was already five days later.
Listening to Xiang Chong's narration, Su Lu shook his head and said to Li Gen who was summoned.
"My abilities are limited and I can't persuade His Majesty to let your general go. I'm really ashamed."
Li Gen said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself. The news has spread throughout Liaoxi City these days. Your Majesty hates the Li family. Your Majesty's plea for mercy only offends Your Majesty. Now even the general is gone. I express my gratitude to you on behalf of the General."
Kindness.”
Su Lu nodded and gave instructions.
"I was invited by Li Shuai to help me, but I failed to save Li Lu. I am the one who feels guilty."
"I will return to Han in a few days. Go and ask your general if he is willing to follow me back to Han. If he is willing, I will protect him once."
The joy on Li Gen's face flashed away, and he said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, I dare not make the decision on this matter. I will report it to my general and see what the general says."
Su Lu nodded, "Okay, you can go back and let me know when you have any news."
Li Gen went.
Su Lu asked Xiang Chong: "Have you thought about it? If you come with me this time, there will be no hope of returning to Qin."
Xiang Chong shook his head: "If there is no hope, then there is no hope. Being able to follow the prince is the dream of many generals. If a general has such a fate, he will never give up no matter what."
"Besides, without the prince, what can the Qin State do to resist the barbarians? Not to mention the support of the Taixi people behind the barbarians. The Qin State cannot stop the birds that can fly in the sky and attack with arrows."
"Your Majesty grew up in the palace, is mean and ungrateful, and refuses to reward kindness. He has also learned to be lofty, value literature, and suppress martial arts. What a joke. I, Qin, relied on military generals to establish the country. He has cleaned up the Li family. Next time, it will be Zhao
Ieyasu family."
"By driving away the prince this time, he will soon experience the feeling of being besieged by barbarians, and let him experience the consequences of his own actions."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, then you go make arrangements, rescue Li Lu, and we'll leave."
