Chapter 549: Difficulty

Li Yu led his army to wipe out the forces of the Xifan Army within the Wan Kingdom and help Wan Kingdom recover successfully.

Although some minor frictions occurred during this period, it did not affect Li Yu's achievements to Wanguo.

After returning to the country, King Sharpu of Wan ordered the opening of the warehouse and allocated 200,000 stones of grain to Li Yu as a sign of gratitude.

Li Yu happily accepted Sharp's generous gift.

Now Li Yu is worried about military rations. With the 200,000 stones of grain given by Shaerpu, his army will no longer have to worry about military rations in a short period of time.

According to time calculations, when the batch of military rations is almost done, the logistics supplies of our side can be transported.

Li Yu did not stay in Wanguo for a long time, and led his army to continue advancing westward and headed straight to the Saluo Kingdom west of Wanguo.

He exchanged conditions with Hamid, who helped him deal with the Espanyols, and he wanted to help the Saros restore the country.

The Xifan army stationed in the territory of Saro Kingdom is more than the Xifan army stationed in the territory of Wan Kingdom.

But it's just a little more.

These Xifan armies, in terms of military strength or combat power, cannot compete with the 500,000 Zhou army and the 200,000 Saro Legion led by Li Yu.

Just as Li Yu led his troops to win consecutive battles in the territory of Saro Kingdom and were unstoppable, he suddenly received an imperial edict from the capital.

The person who came to pass the imperial edict was Peng Yu, the Huangmen Minister.

A formal imperial edict cannot be conveyed by eunuchs.

Anyone who is conveyed by eunuchs is basically the emperor's oral words. To put it bluntly, it is just to send a message to the emperor.

Peng Yu came to the central tent of the Zhou army, and everyone led by Li Yu fell to his knees below.

First, he looked around, and then Peng Yu launched the imperial edict and sang loudly: "The emperor's edict..."

Most of the previous contents of Li Ju's imperial edict commend the achievements of Li Yu and his soldiers.

The content of the latter part is to summon Li Yu to lead his troops back to Beijing, and the emperor wanted to personally reward Li Yu and the generals.

After Peng Yu finished reading the imperial edict, he put the imperial edict together, held his hands and whispered: "Your Highness the King of Wu, please accept the imperial edict!"

Li Yu raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord, Longyou!"

He took the imperial edict, stood up, and then offered the imperial edict to the table in a regular manner.

After all the procedures that should be taken, Peng Yu immediately smiled and intervened to Li Yu, saying, "Congratulations to His Highness, King of Wu, congratulations to His Highness, King of Wu, this time, His Highness, defeated a million Xifan troops in one fell swoop and boosted the prestige of the country. This is indeed the blessing of Your Majesty, the blessing of the Great Zhou, and the blessing of the people of the world!"

Li Yu burst out laughing and said, "Mr. Peng is very famous!"

Peng Yu flattered him again, and then he asked carefully: "When will your Highness lead his troops back to Beijing?"

"Well……"

Li Yu hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Seeing that his army was about to attack the capital of Saro Kingdom, at this critical moment, the elder brother suddenly issued an order and summoned his troops to return to Beijing. Isn’t this a delay?

Li Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Shilarious Secretary Peng, can I wait a few more days before returning to Beijing?

At present, our army is less than three hundred miles away from the capital of Saro. At most six or seven days, our army can break through the capital of Saro!”

Peng Yu grinned secretly.

He subconsciously looked around and said, "Your Highness, can you speak with a step?"

Li Yu waved to everyone around him, and the generals intervened and bowed out of the tent.

After all the generals left, only he and Li Yu were left in the central army's tent. Peng Yufang asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you tell me why Your Majesty suddenly summoned Your Highness to lead his troops back to the capital?"

"Aren't you going to hold a celebration banquet for me and the soldiers, and you still want to give us rewards?"

Peng Yu smiled bitterly, and he whispered: "Now the city is spreading, and His Highness is respectful to His Majesty and the court, he has become unjust!"

Li Yu was stunned, and then he frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's nonsense!"

Peng Yu said helplessly: "Although Your Majesty does not believe these rumors, many ministers in the court agree with it deeply! This is the reason why Your Majesty urgently summons His Highness to lead his troops back to the capital! As long as Your Majesty returns to the capital, you can face it and stabilize the people's hearts. If Your Majesty finds an excuse to refuse to return to the capital, then... these rumors will become true even if they are not true!"

I see!

Li Yu turned his mind and bowed to Peng Yu, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Peng, for telling the truth!"

"Oh, Your Highness, aren't you? "

Peng Yu quickly intervened to return the gift.

The two of them had a conversation again, and Li Yu called Jinwu in and asked him to arrange a rest for Peng Yu.

When Peng Yu left, Li Yu immediately summoned Liang Ping, Lu Fang, Shen Fang, Gao Tu, Qin Shengying, Meng Liao and others to discuss countermeasures with them.

He told everyone what Peng Yu said to him.

After hearing this, Meng Liao was furious. He clenched his fists and said ruthlessly: "Your Highness leads us to fight bloody battles with the people of the Xifan, and is born and die. But there are still people in the capital who ruined your reputation and doubted your highness's loyalty! If I find these people, I will pull out their tongues!"

Gao Tu stammered and said, "Eyes...Eyes...Eyes, right now... At this time, I...My army must not retreat! Ruo... Ruo Ruo let the Xixi Xifan people slowly breathe this breath and want to enter the Sassasaro country again and again. It will definitely be difficult to get to the difficult to get to the difficult to get to the Sassasaro!"

yes!

As the saying goes, you must not miss the opportunity, you will never miss it again!

Now is the best time to help the country of Saro.

If at this critical moment, if our side retreats and gives the country full preparation time, it would be easier for our side to fight back?

Furthermore, how did we explain to Hamid, Susilo and the soldiers of the 200,000 Saro Legion.

At that time, the two sides clearly agreed on, but now they are going to go back on their word and give up halfway?

It would be too unreasonable to do so.

Shen Fangyouyou said, "But if Your Highness does not lead the army back to the capital, it will be detrimental, making everyone think that Your Highness does have the intention of being unjust!"

Meng Liao gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor, the court, this is to force Your Highness to death!"

Everyone's faces changed the same way.

Liang Ping scolded in a deep voice: "General Meng is careful of his words!"

Li Yu stood up and paced back and forth in the central army tent.

Now, he is in a dilemma.

Leading the army to retreat and help Saro restore the country, all previous efforts were wasted; if you do not lead the army to return to the country, you will be disobeying the order and will be said to be self-respecting, which will be light. If you don't do it well, you will be charged with treason on your head.

Who gave the eldest brother the bad idea that he asked him to call him back to Beijing at this time?

After thinking about it, Li Yu thought about it, he turned his eyes, looked at Lu Fang, and asked, "Does the real person have a good idea?"

Lu Fang was tying his fingers, but he didn't know what he was calculating.

Suddenly hearing Li Yu ask him, Lu Fang put down his hand, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Since Your Majesty has the order, Your Highness will obey the order!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present could not sit still.

Follow the order?
