Liu Che's army finally arrived, with a mighty and mighty force that looked like an attack on the enemy. This time, because of Su Ren's relationship, Liu Che's plan to show his face was completely ruined, which made Liu Che very unhappy. Liu Che thought he was a good emperor.
Moreover, he is a kind of wise and holy warrior, who can not only govern a country well, but also lead troops to fight. Although the army stationed in Youbeiping is just to prove himself, this proof cannot be destroyed by anyone.
The army set up camp fifteen miles away from Su Ren's army. Before the camp was settled, a dozen fast riders rushed out of the camp like the wind and headed straight for Su Ren's camp. A tall black giant on horseback
In the windward ticket office, a golden dragon is clearly visible. No matter whether it is a checkpoint or a sentry post, if it is seen from a distance, it will immediately block it and kneel down to show its respect.
On the fifteen-mile journey, Liu Che used the eight-hundred-mile expedited operation, which was ridiculous. Except for Su Ren, everyone in Su Ren's camp, including Zhang Huazhi, fully felt the anger of His Majesty the Emperor.
"What should we do? Should we go now, or wait until His Majesty's decree arrives?" Han Qing was also worried about Su Ren. Although he knew that Liu Che valued Su Ren very much, reprimanding and scolding was inevitable: "Go now and comply with the decree."
It’s completely different when you go there again.”
"Why are you so anxious? It is said in military law that if an innocent commander leaves the army, he will be beheaded! Are you asking me to go now because my head doesn't look good?"
Han Qing shook his head: "Then when you see His Majesty, you should admit your mistake first, right?"
"Am I wrong?" Su Ren turned to ask Huang Shisan, who shook his head like a rattle. He asked Manniu again, and Manniu also made the same move as Huang Shisan: "Since you are right, why do you have to admit your mistake?
What do you people say? The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry. Why are you so anxious? Are you so sure that His Majesty will call me to behead me immediately?"
Liu Jiqing turned out to be the chamberlain leading the team, followed by ten big men with big muscles and round waists. Seeing this formation, Huang Shisan and Man Niu immediately remembered the last time they were in Chang'an. The situation now is almost exactly the same as then. But
They still knelt down and saluted the emperor's eagle. It was not that they did not protect their master with all their heart, but that they continued to stand at this time, which was regarded as treason.
Liu Jiqing's face was expressionless as he stood in front of Su Ren's tent: "Please come out and talk to General Hussar. Your Majesty asked me to bring you a few words to ask the general."
"No time, I'm busy!" Su Ren's arrogant shout came from the big tent: "Go back and tell your Majesty that as the commander-in-chief of the army, you cannot leave the barracks privately. Who knows if you are talking nonsense? Your Majesty obviously doesn't ask.
What, you want to ask deliberately and leak the secrets of our army, can you afford it? Your Majesty, please come to my camp tomorrow, and I will welcome you early."
Everyone was stunned by what he said. Even Liu Jiqing and Ying Guangji, who had seen the world, were stunned on the spot. They never expected that Su Ren would have such an answer. It sounded very unreasonable, but it also made you feel like this
That's right. Ying Guangji showed a rare smile and gave Su Ren a thumbs up. Liu Jiqing's face was like an eggplant, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"And!" Su Ren's voice came from the big tent again: "Don't think about letting those guys behind you break in and kidnap people like last time. Tell you that I have arranged a knife and axe. If you dare to do anything without notification,
If you break into a military tent, you will die in one word! This is also military law!"
Not to mention that Liu Jiqing had never seen such a general. Throughout history, no minister had ever been so arrogant. For a moment, Liu Jiqing stood at the door of the tent, advancing or retreating, unable to do anything to Su Ren.
, not to mention interrogating Liu Che. Everyone who heard Su Ren speak was so shocked that a minister dared to talk to the emperor like this? Anyone who had such an idea has died countless times.
.
Liu Jiqing's face became darker and darker, and no one dared to come forward to speak. After standing at the door of the tent for a long time, Liu Jiqing led the people away. When Su Ren walked out of the tent, people in the courtyard
The people still maintained the same expressions as before, and several of their jaws never closed again.
"I want to impeach you!" Zhang Huazhi dropped these words and walked away angrily.
Han Qing was a little worried: "Sir, this is not what we said before! This is contempt for His Majesty. If His Majesty is convicted, it will not only be beheading!"
The day that frightened everyone passed very slowly. Many people kept turning their heads to look at the camp entrance while working. They were worried that the army holding the golden sword and tiger talisman would break into the camp. Especially Ma Huzi, who had even quietly lurked into the emperor's camp.
On the other side, if something was wrong, they would be the first to go back and report, so that Su Ren could escape quickly. However, until night, there was no movement at all at Liu Che's camp.
Ma Beard stayed up all night and kept staring at the emperor's camp. When the white fish belly was just showing in the east, a trumpet sounded in the camp, and then the cavalry of the brigade quickly lined up. Ma Beard stood up in shock, regardless of what was already going on.
The sentinel of the emperor's camp who spotted him shouted and galloped towards his horse. With two crossbow arrows on his back, Ma Beard finally stepped into the camp and jumped down before the horse could stop.
"General, run quickly, His Majesty's army is coming!"
The sound alarmed the entire camp, and many people hurriedly ran out of their tents, craning their necks to look at Ma Beard. As Ma Beard walked, blood was still dripping from his back. Before he could reach Su Ren's tent,
His legs went weak and he fainted. When Han Qing came out, he only heard what Ma Huzi shouted, and immediately knew that something was wrong and hurried to Su Ren's tent.
To Han Qing's helplessness, Su Ren was still sleeping, snoring loudly, and the whole tent was filled with the smell of alcohol. Han Qing glared at Huang Shisan and Man Niu: "What's going on?"
Huang Shisan was also helpless: "The general wanted to drink last night, but there was nothing we could do, and that's what happened."
Before the conversation of several people ended, the sound of horns and golden drums came from the distance. This was the signal for the emperor's arrival. As long as you hear such a sound, no matter what you are doing, you should immediately put down what you are doing and kneel down on the road.
While waiting for the emperor to arrive, someone was already howling loudly outside the tent, and it could be heard that it was Zhang Huazhi's voice. He was taking over from Su Ren to command the army and prepare to take over.
Han Qing sighed and said to Huang Shisan and Man Niu: "Quickly, go to the kitchen to get some sobering stuff and wake up the general, otherwise we will really be in trouble."
The cavalry of the brigade have already entered the camp gate, and the Imperial Guards behind are also taking over the defense. His Majesty's closest imperial guardsmen have set up their formations on both sides of the road, majestic as if they want to eat people. With Zhang Huazhi as the leader, all those who stayed in the barracks
All officers, big and small, knelt at the camp gate. As the bursts of smoke and dust faded, the emperor's carriage drawn by four white horses gradually approached the camp gate.
"I welcome your Majesty!" Zhang Huazhi shouted and knelt down again, and everyone behind him also knelt down again, stirring up clouds of dust.
Liu Che was dressed in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist. When the sun shone on his golden armor, his eyes hurt. He stood on the shaft of the carriage for a moment, and someone crawled under the carriage. With the support of Li Xi and Liu Jiqing, Liu Che stepped on the man's back.
After getting off the carriage, Han Qing had no military rank, so he was far away. He raised his head to see the emperor's face, but unfortunately he was completely blocked by the people in front and could not see anything.
Liu Che glanced at the army kneeling in front of him, but did not notice that Su Ren's figure was strange, and asked Zhang Huazhi: "Where is the person? I'm here, does he really want me to see him?"
Zhang Huazhi swallowed, lowered his head, and was a little scared: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Hussar was drunk last night. Now, now..."
"He drank? Hahaha..." Liu Che laughed: "Humph, you keep talking about military law. Drinking in the army violates military law. You are a military commander, how should you deal with drinking?"
"Return to your majesty, stick thirty according to military law."
"Then go! I will personally imprison you!"
Su Ren finally woke up, holding his head with one hand and letting Huang Shisan and Man Niu put clothes and armor on him. He drank a lot last night, at least a dozen bottles, and even Su Ren didn't expect that he would be beaten by these thirty
A few degrees of sourness made me drunk. I turned around and looked at the sky: "What time is it? Is your Majesty coming?"
Huang Shisan said anxiously: "We have already entered the camp! If you don't go..."
"Oh! Didn't you say anything?"
Just as Man Niu was about to answer, a group of imperial guards broke in. Without any explanation, they pushed Huang Shisan and Man Niu away, held Su Ren up and walked out. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for Su Ren to open his eyes. After he got familiar with it, he realized that he
We had arrived at the school grounds and were surrounded by soldiers. When we looked up, we found Liu Che sitting aloof, with many people standing neatly around him.
Zhang Huazhi saw that Su Ren's clothes were disheveled and he could tell that he was still asleep. He coughed and said, "Su Ren, do you know your guilt?"
Su Ren patted his forehead, calmed down for a while, turned around and asked the guard beside him: "Brother, is there any water?" The guard ignored him and still stood upright. Su Ren pursed his chapped lips and turned to Zhang Huazhi.
He rolled his eyes: "If you can, hit me. I know you have been wanting to hit me for a long time! But I want to tell you, you have to think clearly about the consequences of hitting me. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."
"Bold!" Liu Jiqing was very angry with Su Ren yesterday. Seeing that Su Ren was still so arrogant now, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty is here, and you are still talking arrogantly?"
"Your Majesty?" Su Ren deliberately looked around for a long time: "Isn't that right? This is my camp. Even if Your Majesty comes, you should camp outside. Even if Your Majesty enters my camp, it is a guest army and should not interfere with my camp's affairs.
, and more importantly, I must listen to my general’s orders. Unless your Majesty accepts my tiger talisman and selects talented people, I will still have the final say in this camp.”
"You!" Zhang Huazhi said angrily: "As the commander-in-chief, if you violate the law by drinking alcohol in the camp, you will be punished by an additional one level."
Su Ren nodded repeatedly: "Did you see me drinking with that eye? If you find a witness, it will be considered as drinking."
"you!"
Liu Che never said a word, just sitting on the stage watching Su Ren and Zhang Huazhi, Liu Jiqing bickering. According to the current posture, although Su Ren is alone, he always has the upper hand, always grasping one thing that he is the biggest in the camp,
Then no one could do anything to him. Liu Che looked at Zhang Huazhi on the left, and then at Liu Jiqing on the right. Seeing that neither of them had any intention of asking for help, he continued to watch the three of them bickering. (To be continued)
