I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 109 The Happy Army, attack! [Fourth update, ten thousand words, please subscribe]

"May we live long and share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart... What a beautiful phrase."

In addition to being shocked, Wei Zifu felt inexplicably melancholy.

She suddenly felt that this song was very much in line with her mood, and couldn't help but recall many past events when she was favored by Emperor Liu Che.

Once upon a time, she naively thought that she would stay with Liu Che forever and live in love with him for the rest of her life.

Although she had long understood that Liu Che was the emperor and would never have only one woman, he would have not just dozens, not hundreds, but thousands of women in the future.

But how can people in love care about these things? They always think they are the most special one.

However, later on, she gradually just hoped that Liu Che only had her in his heart, and it was not a problem for him to come to the Pepper Room once every few months.

Later, she hoped to have sex once every six months, once a year, once every two years...

just now.

She had completely accepted the fact that she was getting older and less attractive.

Finally, there was only one last hope left in her heart, that is, that her son could succeed to the throne smoothly.

As for Liu Che...

Perhaps it is just as the line in the song says, "People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions; the moon waxes and wanes; it is impossible to have everything in life"?

There is no such perfect thing in the world. How could it be possible that she alone could take all the benefits?
Come back to your senses.

Wei Zifu looked at Liu Ju, the son on whom she had placed all her hopes.

"Zi'er, where did you get this song from?"

Wei Zifu's voice became a little low and slightly hoarse.

“Lyrics come from the feelings in the heart, and music comes from the thoughts in dreams.”

Liu Ju smiled and said shamelessly.

"Really?"

"Um……"

"The lyrics and music are gifted by God. Could it be that my son... is the chosen one?"

Wei Zifu's heart trembled and she felt a little excited.

She was sure that such a word had never existed in the world.

She was even more certain that there had never been such a song in the world.

That’s because she didn’t know that the lyrics actually came from the Song Dynasty, and the music came from the New China more than two thousand years later.

But this does not affect her confidence in this song.

Because Liu Che was never a person who followed the rules, he liked these unconventional things, like Li Yannian's "Song of the Beautiful Woman".

"Song of the Beautiful Lady" was the first to use a five-character verse style that was completely different from the Han Fu, and its melody was also completely different from the popular tunes today.

and.

This song by Liu Ju is very nice to listen to, neither too fast nor too slow, and tells the story in a leisurely and leisurely manner.

It's like a person sitting under the moonlight quietly expressing the regrets and longings in his heart, without being noisy or shouting, which makes people willing to calm down and listen. It is more enjoyable to listen to than "Beauty Song".

"Zi'er, are there any other songs?"

"Don't be anxious, mother. Eat your meal one bite at a time."

"You're right...Come on, come on, the dishes are getting cold because you're just talking. Eat more."

"Well, that's enough, don't add any more."

"This time when you go out to fight, you must be careful on the road. If you see that the situation is not good, run away as hard as you can. Don't worry about anything else, as long as you can escape back."

"Mother, they are deserters... But you don't have to worry. The Han army has a huge advantage this time. Those Qiang people can only be killed. Besides, I don't have to fight in the battlefield. I can just stay in the safest central army and watch."

"If I had known earlier, your mother should have arranged a marriage for you. Others always have to leave a child when they go to war. Otherwise, you can also see if there is anyone you like in your Bowang Garden. No matter whether their status is high or low, leave a child first."

"..."

"Remember to bring a few more capable cooks with you, and make sure every meal is delicious and filling!"

"..."

"My mother ordered another trip to the outskirts of the city and accidentally killed two cows. You should take them with you when you go to the battle in a few days!"

"..."

"Take the female doctor named Yi Shuo with you, she's very good!"

"..."

……

Time passes day by day.

About half a month later, Li Xi and Xu Ziwei finally sent someone to inform Liu Ju that all the troops had gathered and would set out after swearing an oath!
However, not all of these 100,000 soldiers and horses arrived in Chang'an.

After the local conscription, they all marched towards Wuwei County and Longyou County nearby, only agreeing on a specific meeting place with the central army halfway.

As for the oath-taking ceremony, Liu Ju did not attend.

These days, there are too many red tape involved in this kind of thing, with sacrifices, worshiping the Taimiao, pointing to the spirit flag, and reciting a bunch of meaningless prayers. It takes most of the day to go through all this trouble.

Instead of wasting time, you might as well lie down in the Prince's Mansion for a while and rest up.

Besides, as the Central Military Inspector, he is not the chief commander, so he does not have to be present, nor does he need to say anything to boost the morale of the troops.

"Aren't we going to attend the swearing-in ceremony?"

Liu Ju was too lazy to attend the oath-taking ceremony, but there were still people who wanted to go to broaden their horizons, such as Li Guangli, who had just been placed in the Jianzhang Camp by Liu Che and was now working in the Prince's Mansion.

"His Highness said that we will not go. When the time comes to march, we will just leave the city and follow the central army."

A comrade from Jianzhang Camp laughed indifferently.

"Your Highness is being too careless to treat such an important ceremony as the Swearing-in Ceremony in this way, isn't he?"

Li Guangli said unwillingly.

"The Crown Prince has the final say. Who else can be the Crown Prince's boss besides the Emperor?"

The comrade looked at Li Guangli and warned him solemnly,
"Newcomer, I'll give you a reminder since you've just arrived. Although we are now affiliated with the Jianzhang Camp, there is a great possibility that we will be promoted to the Jinqi Gate in the future. I advise you to say less gossip like this. Otherwise, no matter who hears it, it will not do you any good. If you are not careful - snap!" When he said this, the comrade suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes and raised his hand to make a gesture of wiping his neck.

"!"

Li Guangli was caught off guard and took a step back in fright.

"Hahaha, that's all the courage you have. Don't be so scared that you pee your pants when you see dead bodies on the battlefield."

The comrade laughed loudly twice, turned around and continued to pack his armor and equipment.

Li Guangli immediately became dissatisfied and wanted to stop his comrade and argue with him, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated and gritted his teeth to endure it.

However, his mind did not calm down because of this. Instead, he glanced in the direction of Qiufang where Liu Ju was, thinking to himself:
"It's fine that he behaved inappropriately in public after drinking, but now as the Central Military Supervisor, he didn't even attend such an important oath-taking ceremony. Instead, he lay in his house and slept soundly. How can such a prince be trusted?"

"Some people are just reincarnated..."

This went on until late in the afternoon.

Li Xi and Xu Ziwei sent someone to notify that the army had officially set out.

Please ask Liu Ju to go to Bacheng Gate. Someone is already waiting for him at the Bacheng Gate to join the central army.

Liu Ju finally walked out of Qiufang, said a few words to Ji Ping, the Prince's Secretary, and lazily got into the carriage with a pretty woman.

Then a hundred Jianzhang riders mounted their horses and led the way in front of Liu Ju's convoy.

Another hundred Jianzhang cavalrymen stayed behind the convoy to cover the rear.

Li Guangli also saw this scene, and couldn't help but complain in his heart again:

"Bringing women with you on the expedition seems to be against military law. How can you be so blatant?"

But this time he learned his lesson and just thought about it in his mind without saying it out loud.

……

It was the hour of Xu at night.

Liu Ju's convoy finally caught up with the center of the army.

At this time, the central army had already set up tents, many bonfires were lit in the camp, and the soldiers were already eating.

After someone went in to report, Li Xi and Xu Ziwei came out to greet them in person, followed by several captains who were usually high and mighty:

"Welcome Your Royal Highness!"

Li Xi is over fifty years old, and Xu Ziwei is also over forty, but when they saw Liu Ju, they looked very eager.

The several captains following behind the two generals also laughed a little too much, looking like sycophants who were good at flattery.

After Liu Ju greeted them one by one.

As a representative, Li Xi immediately extended an invitation to Liu Ju:
"Your Highness, I have already set up the tent for you in the tent!"

"But before that, please move to the central army tent. I have prepared a banquet. I can also take this opportunity to explain to you the latest strategy that I and General Xu have developed. If you have any other insights, you can also bring them up at the same time."

But Liu Ju just waved his hand and said with a smile:
"I don't think this is necessary. I don't understand military affairs. As long as it's a strategy that makes me happy, you can decide. I have full confidence in your ability to lead the troops."

"?"

This time, when hearing these words, it was not just Li Guangli who was criticizing.

Even the Prince's entourage and the Jianzhang Camp knights suddenly looked strange.

Could someone please explain to me what is meant by “strategies that can make me happy”?
War is war. For such a serious matter, the strategy depends on whether it can make the prince happy. How is this going on?

Even if he is the crown prince and the military supervisor of this battle, he definitely cannot act like this, right?

Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Only Yi Shuo and Guo Zhen, who were following closely behind Liu Ju, shook their heads helplessly:
"I'm afraid the prince is playing tricks again this time..."

The next scene made Li Guangli and others even more unable to understand.

Li Xi and Xu Ziwei did not feel uncomfortable after hearing this. Instead, their faces instantly flushed and they even said with a little excitement:
"I can assure you that the current strategy will make you happy. Not only will it make you happy, but I and the generals who are going on this expedition will also be happy. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

"Yeah, yeah, happy!"

The several captains behind him seemed even more excited than Li Xi and Xu Ziwei when they heard this. They nodded hurriedly and said loudly,

"Being able to follow His Highness into battle this time is a blessing from our ancestors. As long as His Highness is happy, we will all be happy, hahahaha."

"???"

Li Guangli and others looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this. Their mood became increasingly complicated, and some people even felt like turning the table over in their hearts.

What's going on? !
Are these people really going to fight? Are they sure they are not just going there to have fun?
A prince who is too lazy to even listen to battle strategies, and a group of weird generals from top to bottom who only care about making the prince happy.

You are happy, I am happy, and he is happy too.

You are not happy at all!
Why don't you just stop calling yourself the Han Army and just change your name to the Gaoxing Army. Is it really possible for you to win a battle with such a ridiculous group of people leading the army?
You will cry when you lose the battle!
Especially Li Guangli.

This was the first time in his life that he followed the army to fight, and he really broadened his horizons. He felt extremely shocked in his heart. Could it be that this is the character of all the people in the Han army?

But how would they know?

This was the result of Li Xi and Xu Ziwei recently discussing strategies with these captains.

These people have already made many refinements based on Liu Ju's "happy" strategy, from dividing the troops to exploring the route, and then to the supply of military supplies and food, they have tried their best to make it foolproof.

Afterwards, they conducted dozens of simulations on this strategy, and in all these simulations, without exception, the Han army won a great victory.

The only difference is whether to kill or capture 80,000 Qiang people or to kill or capture 50,000 Qiang people.

The fluctuation of this number mainly depends on how many small paths that only Qiang people know in the area pointed out by Liu Ju...

Therefore, everyone had already unanimously decided to abandon Li Xi and Xu Ziwei's original strategy which would have an 80% chance of failure, and firmly supported the "happy" strategy proposed by Liu Ju!
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether it’s 50,000 or 80,000.

It will be an amazing achievement for them. After this battle, many of them will be awarded titles of nobility and become generals, becoming famous generals who will be recorded in history and become real winners in life!

And all this was thanks to the Crown Prince Liu Ju.

How could they not be happy?
Every one of them is now rubbing their hands in excitement, just waiting to reach the battlefield as soon as possible to pick up those 100,000 dazzling merits!
Of course, there is still an exception.

This person was Gongsun Jingsheng, the first-line captain who was standing with the other captain. Although he was also "happy" at the moment, there was bitterness behind his smile.

Because, if nothing unexpected happens, he will lead the charge...

When others were given titles of nobility and appointed as generals, he would most likely only receive a "posthumous title".
