Chapter 228 Changes in the situation
Xi Zhuo wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth randomly, poured another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Come on, Your Highness, let's have another drink!"
Li Yuxiao asked, "Do you want to get me drunk?"
Xi Zhuo smiled and said, "If you are drunk, you will be drunk! Your Highness can live in the tribe with peace of mind! It is best to live for a while so that we can also enhance our relationship!"
Li Yu had to admire Xi Zhuo's shamelessness. He had the nerve to say such a nasty thing.
He was not stupid, so of course he understood Xi Zhuo's intention to keep him.
The war in the Su Nu tribe is far from over!
Xi Yu ran away, but can he give up?
What's more, behind Xi Yu there is a god tribe supporting him.
In addition, the Hayi tribe also stood on his side.
Xi Yu may regroup and make a comeback with the support of the God Tribe and the Hayi Tribe at any time.
Xi Zhuo was worried that he could not handle it alone, so he tried his best to keep him.
Li Yu bluntly pointed out Xi Zhuo's thoughts and said, "Xi Zhuo, are you worried that Xi Yu will gather the God Tribe and the Hayi Tribe to attack the Su Nu Tribe?"
Xi Zhuo smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your Highness can't hide anything from you!"
After a moment of pause, he nodded and said, "I understand Xi Yu's character. He will not stop. He will definitely come back and compete with me!"
Li Yu thought for a while and promised: "I will continue to join forces with you to deal with Xi Yu together!"
He finally pushed Xi Zhuo to the throne of King Sunu, and he must not let Xi Yu take the throne back!
After hearing Li Yu's words, Xi Zhuo's eyes lit up.
He said in a moved manner: "I will never thank you for your kindness! I will remember your kindness to me in my heart!"
After the dinner, Xi Zhuo specially arranged Li Yu's residence next to his residence.
This is a large and magnificent wooden house, divided into two floors.
There are more than a dozen rooms of all sizes.
Not only is it enough for Li Yu to live, but it can also live in the personal bodyguard beside Li Yu.
In addition, he arranged four young and beautiful girls for Li Yu to serve his daily life.
It can be said that Xi Zhuo's hospitality is extremely thoughtful.
Regarding the troops of the capital army, Xi Zhuo specially set a large piece of land in his tribe to accommodate them.
For several days, the capital army led by Li Yu was stationed in the Su Nu tribe.
On this day, Zhang Hong, the prefect of Pingchang County, hurried to Su Nu tribe to meet Li Yu.
Li Yu was quite surprised by Zhang Hong's arrival. He asked, "Premier Zhang, you are not guarding your home in Pingchang City, why did you come here?"
Zhang Hong owed her body and said, "Report to Your Highness, Your Majesty has replied."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized.
When he first arrived in Pyeongchang County, he asked Zhang Hong to write letters to his father and the kings for help.
Li Yu asked, "Where is my father's reply?"
Zhang Hong immediately took out a letter from his arms and respectfully handed it to Li Yu.
Li Yu took it, opened it, and looked down carefully.
Li Hui's reply letter was not much, only a few sentences.
The roughly means that the court is now unable to assist Pyeongchang County with one soldier.
Li Hui asked Li Yu to evacuate Pingchang County immediately and lead his troops back to the capital.
In addition, Li Hui also specifically mentioned in his letter that the battle situation of Zhang Si, the Marquis of Dangyin, was in Wanguo.
Zhang Si led 50,000 troops to rescue Wanguo.
As a result, they were ambushed by the Xifan army as soon as they entered the territory of Wan.
The capital army was unprepared and caught off guard by the Xifan army.
In this battle, the capital army was defeated and almost wiped out. The commander Zhang Si was also unfortunately killed in this battle.
The news came back to the capital, and the government and the people were shocked.
Now, Li Hui has made a decision to lead the army in person.
At this time, the imperial court had no intention of caring about the situation in Pyeongchang County.
The court had no extra troops and provided reinforcements to Pyeongchang County.
After reading the letter, Li Yu looked solemn and didn't speak for a long time.
Zhang Hong didn't know the content of the letter and wanted to come forward to read it, but he didn't dare to. He secretly winked at Lu Fang.
Lu Fang walked up and asked softly: "Your Highness, what did Your Majesty say in the letter?"
Li Yu didn't say anything, but just handed the letter to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang hurriedly took it and looked carefully.
The rest of the people also surrounded him and checked the contents of the letter.
Li Yu said thoughtfully: "The court is now in Pingchang County. We will no longer receive assistance from the court's soldiers, even..."
He didn't keep saying anything.
After reading the letter, Lu Fang sighed and continued: "Even, even the imperial court will not send military funds, food and wages to Pyeongchang County in a short time!"
Li Yu held his forehead, which was the most troublesome problem he felt.
If my father wants to lead the army in person, then all the resources of the court will definitely give priority to the protection of my father.
I am afraid that there will be no food or money in Pyeongchang County.
Moreover, it can be seen that my father wanted to withdraw back to the capital immediately by himself. His father was planning to give up Pyeongchang County for the time being.
Let the people here die.
After reading the letter, everyone looked at each other, frowned and could not help.
Meng Liao punched his palm hard with his fist and said in disbelief: "Horse Dangyin has outstanding military achievements and rich experience. How could he... how could he suddenly fall into the ambush of the Xifan people?"
Lu Fang said: "Your Majesty has made it very clear in the letter. The Marquis of Dangyin led his army to Wan Kingdom and was ambushed as soon as he arrived in Wan Kingdom. He did not expect that the army of Xifan had penetrated Wan Kingdom and sneaked into the border of Zhou Kingdom!"
Even if other generals led the army, they would not have thought that they would be attacked by the Xifan people at the junction of Zhou and Wan.
Han Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "The Marquis of Dangyin was killed in battle, and the 50,000 troops were destroyed. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been such a defeat. Is Your Majesty going to command the army in person?"
Lu Fang said meaningfully: "Even if Your Majesty personally fights, this battle will be difficult to fight!"
Zhang Hong's face changed and he quickly reminded: "Minister Lu is careful of his words!"
Li Yu said: "In a short period of time, we can no longer count on the court. The court will not send us reinforcements with one army and one soldier, and may not even send us a grain of rice or a penny!"
People all lowered their eyes and remained silent.
In war, it is actually just about making money.
If you have no money, no arms, only loss, no supplement, then what kind of war will you fight?
Military rations are even more important.
There is no food in the army for a day.
Once the food is out of stock, the morale of the army will be in chaos. If the enemy does not need to fight, the side will have to collapse first.
Han Rui looked at the others and whispered: "Your Highness, I think... I should follow Your Majesty's arrangements first..."
"Go back to Beijing first?"
“Yes…yes!”
"What should we do with the Su Nu tribe? We finally helped Xi Zhuo to the throne. Once we withdraw, Commander Han, how many days do you think Xi Zhuo can sit on the throne?"
"Well……"
Han Rui drooped his head and wiped his forehead.
Li Yu continued: "Xi Zhuo's status is not guaranteed. After Xi Yu regained the throne, he will definitely retaliate against Zhou State even more. Pyeongchang County is the first to be the brunt of the people of the county. Then Heyang County, then the Gengtong County, Guangrou County, Guang'an County, etc.!"
Han Rui was sweating profusely by Li Yu.
