I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 272 The emperor is offline, and Su He’s route is controversial
Let's talk about Su Yao's plan. After bidding farewell to the princess and staying in bed to rest, time passed quickly.

Early the next morning, in the fields outside Pingyuan City, the mist had not completely dissipated. The sun penetrated the clouds and cast wisps of golden light, which seemed to purify everything.

However, this land is filled with the bloody smell left by last night's battle, like an invisible haze hanging over this wilderness.

The sunlight reflected the mottled blood stains, as if the earth was telling the tragedy of last night.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Northern Army were busy directing the laborers recruited from the city to repair the city wall and strengthen the defense. The collision of bricks and soil and the shouts of the craftsmen were intertwined. The workers were sweating and emerged under the sunshine. Showing a nervous back.

Everyone had a hunch that the coalition of rebels and Wuhuan people might not give up so easily.

They must strengthen the city's fortifications as soon as possible to prepare for the coming war and siege.

In the morning, as soon as the time came, Su Yao jumped out of bed with a bang. After replenishing his energy with breakfast, he immediately went to find the emperor to take on a new mission.

However, when he entered the meeting hall, he found that the emperor was not there.

It seemed that the intense fighting and transfers over the past few days had overwhelmed his weak body, and he had to stay in bed to recuperate.

He Jin specifically emphasized the four words "job", which was a clear reminder to Su Yao that your job is that of a tiger and a man in the middle, and your job is to protect His Majesty.

Now that His Majesty is ill, you should not come here to join in the fun.

Threaten the enemy's flanks with powerful elite cavalry and clip the enemy's wings. It sounds nice. Now among the troops in the city, there are only a small number of Northern Army knights and Su Yao's Bingzhou knights.

Seeing that Su Yao dared to openly refute him, He Jin's face suddenly darkened.

"Now that the enemy is newly defeated, it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Even if the enemy cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, it is still time to cut off its wings, attack the scouts, and threaten its flanks with powerful elite cavalry so that the enemy does not dare to divide his troops and plunder various places."

Su Yao waved his hand and said plausibly:
"How can the general stand on his own laurels and let the entire army be trapped in this small plain city?"

"Su Junhou has worked hard in successive battles and has made great achievements. Now he has entered the county. Please don't forget your job. Leave other matters to Lu Shangshu's Northern Army."

Sending this mission is simply to give Su Junhou another military merit. How could He Jin make it easier for him to climb up to high places like this?

It’s just to distract you, Su Yao, and keep you away from the battlefield.

At this moment, He Jin was discussing with Lu Zhi, Yuan Shu, Zou Jing and other soldiers about reorganizing the city defense. When he saw Su Yao coming to ask for help, he immediately said expressionlessly:

What's more, this strategy was a plan he had discussed with Yuan Shu at the celebration banquet last night.

However, Su Yao ignored him and started arguing with He Jin in the lobby.

As a general, he was in charge of the world's military power on behalf of the emperor. How could he tolerate this mere junior openly challenging his authority.

Therefore, it is natural that the current coach is General He Jin.

Now you, Su Yao, are already Su Junhou, Hu Ben, Zhonglang, Jiang, and Shizhong. You are only twenty years old. If you have a few more glorious victories and successfully marry Princess Wannian, then He Jin is really worried about his future. The general's position was unsteady.

Therefore, He Jin and Yuan Shu's goals are very clear.

Defend, defend, defend to the death!
Now that King Qin's order has been issued, the soldiers and horses from all over the world will soon respond to the call and come to King Qin. Those soldiers and horses are not His Majesty's personal soldiers brought out now. They came in response to the general's call.

By then, as long as the army gathers together, the rebels who are just thieves can be defeated with a snap of their fingers.

Not only was the crisis easily resolved, Su Junhou would not take too much credit for his achievements. At the same time, through King Qin's affairs, His Majesty could see his power as the general who controls the world's soldiers and horses.

When the time comes, under the might of the internal and external troops, and surrounded by external enemies, I think His Majesty will think more carefully about the Northern Expedition and the idea of ​​abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.

As a result, He Jin flatly rejected Su Yao's request to fight. His eyes were firm and he said in a majestic voice:
"Su Junhou, I deeply respect your loyalty and courage, but our first priority at this time is to ensure your majesty's safety.

Although the enemy army is defeated, its strength still exists. If it attacks rashly, if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, we should hold on to the city for now and wait for King Qin’s troops to arrive before we make any plans! "

When Su Yao saw that he could not receive the mission, he raised his brows and started a verbal war again, stating from various angles that defense was worse than offense, that being trapped in an isolated city was a dead end, and that doing so was abandoning the people outside the city, etc.

However, He Jin was completely unmoved, his face was as gloomy as ink. His eyes stayed on Su Yao for a moment, and then turned to Lu Zhi, Yuan Shu and others.

The meaning of his gaze was very clear, how could I, a general, quarrel with you, a young boy, a mere lieutenant general?
This was He Jin's helplessness. If it weren't for the fact that this boy's performance was truly irresistible, and His Majesty was very fond of his holy family, he would have slapped the table and kicked Su Yao out, and he would have listened to the nonsense of a junior like you.

However, in response to He Jin's gaze, Lu Zhi, who had the most say in the room, remained silent.

He has an upright character and is aware of He Jin's selfishness, so he does not express his stance directly.

Seeing that Lu Zhi was silent, Yuan Shu and others spoke one after another. They had long had grudges against Su Yao's repeated achievements and arrogance, and they spoke without mercy.

In the meeting hall, there were quarrels and quarrels, and it was very lively.

Ren Su Yao was eloquent, but the general was unmoved and refused to give him any tasks at all.

Seeing this scene, He Jin felt more and more comfortable. He had no expression on his face, but he was already secretly praising Yuan Jiujiu for his cleverness.

That's right. I am the general of the world's soldiers and horses. As long as you don't have His Majesty's intervention, what kind of trouble can you, a little tiger and brave man, make?
That's how it should be. After you return to Beijing as soon as possible, you, Mr. Su, will be trapped in a shoal, unable to stand up!
While the debate was going on in the council hall, a clear voice broke the deadlock: "General, Mr. Su, please listen to me."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a dignified and elegant scribe in Confucian robes who was over 40 years old and slowly walked into the hall.

This person is one of the eight horses who became famous all over the world in the past, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng.

He was known for his resourcefulness and decisiveness. After the party ban was lifted, he was invited by the general to serve as a subordinate. Not only was he highly relied on, but he also had many interactions with Lu Zhi, Yuan Shu and others.

This time Lu Zhi saw that the situation was deadlocked, so he quietly called Liu Biao over.

I saw Liu Biao walking into the lobby, saluting He first, then turning to Su Yao, saluting again, and after registering his number, he smiled slightly and said:

"Junhou Su's bravery is unparalleled, and I deeply admire him. However, the general's concerns are not unreasonable. His majesty's safety is an important weapon of the country and cannot be ignored."
