"The fourth younger siblings begged me, wanting to give Brother Zheng a chance to go out to fight. What do you think?"
Gu Jiu kneaded Liu Zhao's shoulders and neck while chatting.
Liu Zhao hummed, "Liu Zheng is a little similar to me when I was young, and he only thought about fighting. He also has some talent in military and martial arts. Give him a chance, yes!"
Gu Jiu asked him: "South or north?"
"what you think?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "Shouldn't the boss also be released to practice and practice?"
"Brother Yu?" Liu Zhao was puzzled.
Gu Jiu nodded, "For a long time to come, the imperial court will continue to use troops. The boss doesn't understand military affairs, so he will suffer a lot, which is not conducive to the development of follow-up plans."
Liu Zhao turned over and sat up, looked at Gu Jiu, "Are you serious?"
"You think I'm joking?" Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him.
"Aren't you afraid that the boss will encounter danger outside?"
"You can't let him do anything because you are afraid of danger. Do you want to make the boss a waste?"
"That can't be done! I'm not that stupid, I absolutely can't turn my own son into a waste. I will consider this matter carefully!"
Liu Zhao was a little undecided.
"The war in the south has eased. If you say it's safe, the south is definitely safer. The only thing is that you're afraid of acclimatization, which is a big trouble. In Xiliang, the war is in full swing, and those alien races are killing people. It's really dangerous. You want to send the boss out to experience, what are you going to do?" South or west?"
Gu Jiu said: "You are not worrying about who will lead the army to Xiliang, I think this is an opportunity for the boss. Why not let him lead the army and give him a stable veteran. By the way, send Liu Zheng to Go to the west. And the few talents under the boss also need opportunities to practice. Just like Chen Zhuangshi and Yang Ji back then, it was because they were given opportunities that they could stand out."
Liu Zhao nodded, "This statement is reasonable. Young people need opportunities to practice, maybe they can find a second Yang Ji. It's just that the west is too dangerous, and I don't worry about the safety of the boss."
Gu Jiu was very straightforward, "Let Qian Fu go out with the army, and send some of your bodyguards to the boss. I will also send people to protect secretly. Experience is important, and the safety of the boss is even more important. You also have to be responsible for our Dazhou army." If you have confidence, you will definitely defeat those alien races."
"You said it all, those alien races have been brainwashed, even their wives, children, and parents can be killed, there is nothing they can't do. The degree of danger is much higher than that in the south. Why don't you send the boss to the south? experience."
"We don't have that much time." Gu Jiu said solemnly.
Liu Zhao was in a trance, but soon came back to his senses.
The fighting in the south eased, Liu Yu went to the south, and had the opportunity to fight, but they were all small-scale wars.
It is estimated that a large-scale war may not be encountered within a few years.
On the Xiliang side, if you think with your toes, you can imagine that there will be a long and fierce battle, a big battle.
The cruelty of the battlefield will be fully demonstrated.
All kinds of tactics also have their uses.
That will be the battlefield that generals dream of, a hymn of blood and fire.
Any recruit, on such a battlefield, will quickly grow up in the shortest possible time and become a qualified soldier and a qualified general.
Great battles and fierce battles, the training of people, is by no means comparable to small encounters.
However, its degree of danger is also extremely high, and it is likely that it has not yet grown up, and the person has already died in a foreign land.
Of course, as a general in charge of the army, Liu Yu didn't have to fight the enemy with a bayonet or climb the city wall to fight for his life.
However, the danger remains.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee 100% security.
It only takes one or two years for Liu Yu to fully grow. After the baptism of war and fire, Liu Yu, who has received the top and most elite education, will definitely grow into a qualified king.
Liu Zhao's health is not good, and he doesn't know how many more years he can last.
Liu Yu needs to be tempered by the flames of war in the shortest possible time to become a hundred battles of fine steel.
The easing situation in the south is obviously inappropriate.
Liu Zhao looked at Gu Jiu, "You also think I won't be able to last for many years?"
Gu Jiu's eyes were moist, "It's not a question of how many years you can last, but you need someone to share it for you. Use the shortest time to temper the boss, and he will become your right-hand man and inherit your will."
Liu Zhao nodded, "You're right. My successors must accept my will and my plan to open up territories. It's not about changing the course and changing course. An emperor who has not been baptized in war cannot understand the importance of starting a foreign war. sex."
"When Brother Yu can be alone, are you willing to travel all over the mountains and rivers with me? Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world?"
With tears in her eyes, Gu Jiu asked him with a smile.
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course I am willing! In my dreams, I want to take you out of the capital, swim and drink tea in the Jiangnan water town, bend bows and shoot eagles in the desert. Travel all over the rivers and mountains, and even go overseas to have a look."
"Then it's settled."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
…
Qi Wang Liu Yu was handpicked as the commander of the Western Expedition to the Western Regions.
This matter has not been cleared, but it cannot be hidden from the well-informed people in the court.
"Your Majesty is very determined to attack the Western Regions! Even King Qi is willing to let him go. It is estimated that the army will move towards Xiliang in the spring of next year."
"Xiliang is Pei Meng's territory, and King Qi is not Pei Meng's opponent."
"King Qi is a prince and prince, much more noble than Pei Meng, a king with a different surname."
"King Qi is honorable in the capital, but in Xiliang, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. Moreover, King Qi has no experience in leading troops in battle."
"Your Majesty sent the King of Qi to the Western Regions. This is a risky military operation. It is really too bold. Are you afraid that something will happen to the King of Qi?"
"Shhh! Don't talk nonsense. There are people in the palace who said something similar to worrying about King Qi, and they were directly arrested by the Punishment Department."
"It seems that His Majesty is not worried. Since you are worried about King Qi's safety, why did you send King Qi to the Western Regions?"
"This matter has not yet been decided. If you talk nonsense here, be careful not to spread it to His Majesty's ears. Everyone can't bear it and walk around."
"It seems that you still don't understand the style of His Majesty and the Empress well enough. When the matter is cleared up and officially settled, it will be a final decision. Is it our turn to express our opinions? It's ridiculously childish."
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty usually plan things in private first and advance step by step. By the time they cross Ming Road, the overall situation is basically settled."
"It's actually very simple to verify the truth of this matter. You only need to pay attention to His Royal Highness Qi Wang's next itinerary, and you can get a glimpse of the truth."
"This statement is justified!"
…
King Liu Yu of Qi accepted the important task, ordered his men and horses, chose an auspicious day, and left Beijing for the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
In the next six months, he will eat, live, and practice with the 10,000 frontier troops, study the situation in the Western Regions, formulate a plan for dispatching troops, and prepare for the expedition to the Western Regions in the spring of next year.
Liu Zheng was also in the team heading west, so excited that he wanted to fly.
Liu Zheng's daughter-in-law was crying, as if parting from life to death.
Liu Zhengte disliked it, "I'm going to make meritorious deeds and open up territories for His Majesty. I finally won this opportunity. Why are you crying? Even His Royal Highness King Qi is here, so what are you worried about!"
"Can you compare with His Highness King Qi?" Liu Zheng's daughter-in-law turned back rudely, "King Qi doesn't need to go to the battlefield, he has nearly a thousand expert guards around him to ensure safety. As for you, what can you do with only fifty personal soldiers? ? Ask you to bring more soldiers, why don't you just refuse?"
"They're all a bunch of weak chickens, should we take them to die?"
"Didn't you say that you will practice in Northwest China for at least half a year, half a year is enough..."
Liu Zheng interrupted his daughter-in-law, "Half a year is not enough! Some people are born afraid of death, and no matter how long they practice, they can't change it. Don't look at me only bringing fifty soldiers, but they are all brave and fearless. With them It’s fine with me. You asked me to bring a group of servants and guards who are afraid of death, it’s just a hindrance. I don’t want to give my life to a group of people who are afraid of death.”
Liu Zheng's daughter-in-law was crying, "I knew it, you wanted to piss me off on purpose."
"Okay, okay! Don't cry. Tell people to watch the joke. You see, the princess is not crying, she is very calm."
Princess Qi Sun Qiniang has been crying for a long time.
On the day King Qi accepted the important task, she cried a lot.
The Western Regions are dangerous, the sky is high and the road is far away.
This time, I don't know how many years will come back.
Full of melancholy, full of worry, all turned into tears.
After crying for a few times, Sun Qiniang finally came to her senses and accepted the fact that Liu Yu was leaving for a few years.
She straightened Liu Yu's collar, "Bon voyage! Remember to write letters to your family, everyone is concerned about your safety. Don't try to be brave, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you must remember that your life is not just your own , but everyone’s. If you have an accident, bah bah bah... you will be safe and sound, and you will win the battle. When you see Anxi King Pei Meng, don’t fight him hard. He is a local snake, and a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. Don't turn your back..."
Sun Qiniang babbled a lot.
These words, these days she has been repeatedly mentioned.
Liu Yu didn't dislike her long-winded words, but smiled instead.
"Are you worried about the king?"
"Of course I'm worried!"
"Take good care of the house for this king. In two or three years, this king will definitely come back. Come back with merit."
"I'll wait for you! You have to come back early, the father, the queen, and the queen are also waiting for you."
Liu Yu nodded heavily, rode on the horse, stared affectionately, and said nothing.
"drive!"
The team set off and headed west.
A group of young people, high-spirited, full of dreams, full of courage.
After so many years, I don't know how many people can come back
