Chapter 892 Taking the Head of the Crown Prince
In the states other than Dahan, except for Guishuang, there are no more powerful enemies, especially in the northeast, Hezhou, Xinzhou, Ningzhou and other regions. For this reason, the heads of states and counties in various places are all very important. For example, the shepherd of Hezhou, called Lu Yu, is the son of Xilu Situ.

He was born in the Eastern Palace, with both civil and military skills, and lived in Hezhou. He followed his father's will and practiced lenient government. According to the Qin system, he set up more barbarian roads with Hezhou. Two years of taxation, all people under his command are treated equally, which is extremely popular among the people. Even Lu Yu often eats and lives with those barbarians, making the people's hearts return. Within six years, Hezhou has a million people , There are countless fertile fields, and there are hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

What's even more rare is that he was able to teach and civilize many barbarians here, and he was recommended as an official. Hezhou became more and more prosperous among the frontier fortresses. , the chieftains hate it deeply.

In Xinzhou on the side, the state herdsman is called Cao Ren. It is said that this person seems to be the brother of Lord Situ Cao. However, he is different from Lu Yu. It is the military, and they have made great political achievements. This person is unsmiling. He runs the army very strictly, and the same is true for politics.

Apart from the two of them, there are also Zhang Zhao from Ningzhou, Liu Ye from Youzhou, and Cheng Li from Bingzhou. These few are not easy to get along with. With such a group of people, the Hus outside the Great Wall would have retreated hundreds of times. There are almost no barbarians in and outside the Great Wall. Merchants have to travel to far away areas to trade with them. As for those who are unwilling to leave, they have also become vassal states of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, when he heard that the Northern and Southern Army had descended, Hezhou Mu Lu Yu was a little confused. Looking at the edict in his hand, he really couldn't figure out what the Northern and Southern Army were doing here. Some thieves, most of these thieves are Han people who escaped after committing crimes in the border counties. To deal with some thieves, the Northern and Southern Army will be used. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
Even more ruthless than this is the Prince Supervising the Army.

Lu Yu doesn't know how long it's been since such a thing happened, but today's prince has only two sons, Liu Qu is the eldest son, his conduct is not bad, his status is unbreakable, not to mention the prince is not very old, The emperor can rest assured that he will supervise the army, but is it really necessary?If the emperor wanted to catch these thieves, wouldn't it be good to just ask the state to send frontier troops? ?
Similarly, most of the state pastors in the other states failed to understand why. However, although they couldn't figure it out, they still started preparations. They wanted to designate school grounds, barracks, and even provide food and military supplies for the North and South Army.

At this moment, the Southern Army who had been waiting in Luoyang for a long time was also ready to go. The newly recruited soldiers reluctantly bid farewell to their families and went to the barracks. At the same time, in the palace, the Queen also Holding the little guy in military uniform in front of him, I feel very reluctant. Hu'er is not very old, but he is not small. If it were a hundred years ago, he would be tall enough to be called to serve.

Therefore, wearing a small leather armor would not seem too disobedient. Hu'er is very happy these days. He spends all day practicing martial arts in the Eastern Palace, especially bow skills, which is quite admirable for Lu Guozhang. Zhen Chuan, with outstanding arm strength, often held a spear and slashed stabs on horseback. The Huangmen applauded. This kind of life only lasted for a few days, and he was called to Houde Hall.

The empress hugged him, her eyes turned red immediately, she really couldn't bear him to go away, she looked at the indifferent Liu Xi, and said: "Your Majesty... Hu'er is still young, I heard that there are deserts outside the Great Wall, flying sand , the winter is extremely cold, some state shepherds were frozen to death. Or wait for Hu'er to grow up, he can't stand the pain."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Xi didn't speak yet, but Hu'er jumped up and shouted: "Mom!! Don't, I've grown up! I can bear it, Father finally agreed, Why are you doing this? If I can't go beyond the Great Wall, I won't eat from now on... I won't eat meat from now on!"

"That's a good idea. Lose weight." Liu Xi nodded thoughtfully, but Hu'er was so anxious that he almost cried, shaking the Queen's hand, his eyes full of expectation, seeing Hu'er like this , the queen was not very good to say anything, she sighed helplessly, then nodded, Hu'er cried out happily, and kissed Grandma several times.

Liu Xi glanced at the boy in front of him. He had ordered Zhang Liao to show this boy what war is.

"When you enter the army, you are not the prince, but the supervisor. If there is any problem in the army, I will take you as a questioner. If you lose the battle, you should commit suicide and apologize!" Liu Xi said coldly, and the queen was frightened. After a jump, Hu'er nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

"You have to obey the commander's order and obey the military law, otherwise, if he punishes you, I won't bother!"

"Hello!", Hu'er even gave a military salute.

"Then go to the Southern Army camp and set off together." Liu Xi waved his hand, the queen grabbed Hu'er, gave another order, and then watched Hu'er hop away from Houde In the hall, Liu Xi no longer had a straight face, and sat beside the queen with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm just trying to scare him, I've already ordered it, so don't worry."

"But this is a war after all. If it is him."

"Hey, there is no strong enemy outside the Great Wall. I have dispatched an army, one is to train the army. The Northern and Southern Army has lost many old soldiers over the years, and added a lot of new soldiers, as well as their generals. Most of them are teenagers who came out of military science, these people still need to be trained, especially those generals, they need to have experience in large-scale combat, this is a rare opportunity to train the army."

"I am going to conquer Guishuang. This trip outside the Great Wall is just an army training. Besides, Hu'er is crying every day these days. You have seen it. You must shut his mouth. Look at how happy he is now."

After Liu Xi said a little, the queen finally calmed down, and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty wants to conquer Guishuang?"

Liu Xi smiled wryly, "If I don't conquer, the first thing that kid will do when he ascends the throne is to conquer Guishuang with the whole country's troops. At that time, the prosperity that my three generations laid the foundation will be destroyed by him." In my hands, I know Hu'er very well. Just think about it, he can gather 30 horses just by sending the northern and southern armies and frontier troops. By then, these 30 horses will need millions of farmers to escort food and the like. "

"If the farming season is busy, and millions of young and strong people don't farm, but go to fight in all directions, what do you think will happen in this world?"

The queen's eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Xi, who then said: "So, it's better for Guishuang to die in my hands, at least, I can kill him at the least cost. Revenge!" After hearing Liu Xi's explanation, the Empress didn't ask any more questions, Liu Xi smiled, hugged the Empress, and said with a big laugh, "At least this guy won't bother us anymore."

The queen gave him a blank look, and scolded: "You are not serious."

After being unruly, Liu Xi got up quickly. He still had a lot of tributes to deal with. Fortunately, he was strong and strong, and he didn't have the diseases like his father and grandfather. He was tired day and night, but he could bear it. If the war is fought well, it may be possible to get the position of lieutenant, so the coach of the battle of Guishuang must be determined in advance.

The only difficulty is how to convince both armies. If Guan Yu is allowed to come, I am afraid that the southern army will not accept it. If Zhang Liao is allowed to come, I am afraid that the northern army will not accept it. A difficult problem, Liu Xi thought for a while, but he already had an idea in his mind.

At this moment, Hu'er also rushed to the Southern Army's camp with a group of embroidered clothes envoys, but the embroidered clothes envoys just sent him to the gate, so they couldn't enter. Granted, the crown prince couldn't bring his own people into the camp of the southern army, and Hu'er didn't care about it, and walked into the camp with a smile. The soldiers were practicing in full swing, and occasionally they could see soldiers on patrol.

When these soldiers saw Hu'er, they just stopped and bowed their hands before leaving quickly. They didn't have the same respect as everyone in the temple did to him. However, Hu'er still likes this attitude very much, that's how it should be, come on When he arrived at the general's camp, he asked the soldiers standing at the door to report. The soldiers quickly entered, and after a while, he came out and said: "The general is discussing the war with everyone, please wait a moment."

Hu'er nodded. When he came, Father had made it clear that he was here this time mainly to supervise the logistics, to learn more about how to set up camp and how to march, and not to interfere in the war. Therefore, this meeting was not called He, he is not angry.

However, after waiting in front of the tent for a long time, no one asked me to go in. After waiting for almost half an hour, Hu'er couldn't sit still, so he asked the army to urge him, and the army walked in helplessly. , After a while, he came out again, his face was red, obviously he had been reprimanded, he saluted helplessly, and said: "The general didn't have his order, so don't disturb."

"Good thief! But you bullied me when I was young??!", Hu'er was furious, and immediately pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and rushed into the tent. Zhang Liao was sitting in the main seat, beside him. Following many generals, Hu'er rushed in, everyone looked over one after another, and when they saw the person coming, they quickly got up and bowed, only Zhang Liao sat in his original position, motionless.

Hu'er was furious, looked at him, and said: "I am the military supervisor, you deliberately left me outside the tent, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Liao frowned, got up slowly, and said, "The supervising army has no right to listen to important military affairs. Why did the supervising army break into the main camp? Come on! Get it for me!" When Zhang Liao gave an order, everyone was shocked, and it was too late Stopping it, two soldiers rushed up like tigers and wolves, and the young Hu'er was not an opponent, so he was directly taken down.

"Trespassing on the main camp is a capital offense!"

"Come on, drag it down and chop it off"

"It's absolutely impossible!!!" The generals present were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they stood in front of Zhang Liao one after another. Hu'er also widened his eyes, looked at Zhang Liao in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and roared: "I am the prince!! Kill me, do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Liao squinted his eyes, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said calmly: "That's right, the prince is still young, the fault is not your fault, it is your master who failed to teach you well, someone, come and cut off Cui Yan's body." Come on!"

Zhang Liao gave orders, and several people walked out immediately. Hu'er subconsciously felt that he would not dare to do that, but seeing Zhang Liao's cold eyes, he felt extremely scared in his heart, and he hurriedly shouted: "General Zhang, don't do that!" In this way, my teacher does not understand military affairs, this has nothing to do with him, the fault lies with me!!"

"Oh?"

"Come on, pull it out and punish him with ten army sticks!"

"General Zhang!! How can this be done!! This!!" Seeing the horrified objections of the crowd, Zhang Liao ignored them, went out in person, and pulled Hu'er out of the camp. Picking up the military stick, he started to fight. The prince who was beating was screaming loudly. Everyone was terrified. Zhang Liao controlled his strength. Looking at the prince who was yelling at him, he thought silently:

Your Royal Highness, I am also acting in accordance with the order, so don't blame me.
