Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 237 Homecoming

In the evening, a hill.

Liu Yujun has already set up camp, and they are busy, or go out to hunt, or go out to collect firewood, or go out to fetch water...

There was no way, they were driven out of the ancient city in a hurry without any food or grass on them.Not only food and grass, but also many other things were not brought out, which was not a small loss.But Liu Yu is not sorry, after all, he has been on the road for several days, and he has regained his spirits.

"Gongming, look at this, we can go back to Shangcai tomorrow!" By a fire, Liu Yu and others sat in a circle, chatting quietly while roasting food.

Xu Huang talked a lot with Liu Yu these days, and got to know other generals well, so when Liu Yu asked him, he also smiled naturally: "Well, soon, after passing the Ru River in front, Shangcai is far away. gone."

"Ruhe, Uncle Zhi, let's go worship tomorrow." Hearing Xu Huang talk about Ruhe, Liu Yu suddenly thought of the soldiers who died in battle last year, and even more of that monkey-like Liu Shou, the first person to serve him .

Although Xu Huang knew about the battle, he didn't know that soldiers were buried by the Ru River, so he was a little confused.But Chen Dao and Zhou Cang understood it as soon as they heard it, and silently nodded in agreement.They also remember that battle, and they also know the dead Liu Shou.

Perhaps it was because of Ruhe's matter that everyone's mood suddenly became low. They finished their food in a hurry and dispersed.

There was nothing to say all night, and no accident happened.

On the second day, after breakfast, Liu Yujun left camp and continued to Shangcai.At about noon, I finally came to the Ru River and crossed it.

Then, Liu Yu asked the soldiers to rest by the river first, while he himself led a bodyguard to the dense forest next to him.Deep in the dense forest is where the tomb is.

The trees withered and the grass withered.

In front of the grave, there was only a cold tombstone standing alone under the pale sunlight.There was no sign of people, nor the sound of birds.No, there were still birds—an occasional crow!

A group of people, no more than fifty people, stood silently in front of the tombstone under the leadership of Liu Yu.

After a long silence, Liu Yu sighed softly: "Monkey, I don't know how you are doing over there."

After one sentence, Liu Yu was speechless, and stood silently for a long time again.After a while, he sighed again, took a bag of wine from the guard, and poured it under the tombstone.

"Come on guys, let's have another sip of wine!"

After pouring out more than half, he gulped down the remaining half.Then he put the wine bag on the tombstone, patted the tombstone lightly, and fell silent again.

"Let's go, Xiongguan is as long as iron, and now we are going to start from the beginning!" Waking up from the silence, Liu Yu took a deep look at the tomb and the tombstone for the last time, then said firmly, turned and left without looking back .

The soldiers remained silent, took a last look at the tombstone and the tomb, and followed Liu Yu to turn around and leave.

After returning to the barracks, Liu Yu calmed down and looked into the distance with pride and ambition.Although he still couldn't see Shang Cai, he was already a little emotional.

"Boys, Shangcai is right in front of us, and we can reach it tonight!" Liu Yu said loudly, pointing to the distance while riding a Tongjue horse.

At this time, although his injury hadn't healed, it was fine, so he could gallop on horseback again.Speaking of it, it was also because of his injury that the marching speed was slowed down.

Not much nonsense, Liu Yu led the pro-guard army to take the lead, and rushed towards Shangcai.Behind him is the cavalry led by Xu Huang.Behind them were the infantry led by Chen Dao.

Chen Dao was very helpless, but he had no choice but to walk at the end with a wry smile.He reckoned that when he got to the ancient city, it would be almost dark.

Just as Liu Yu and others rushed towards Shangcai, Shangcai was already making preparations to welcome him.

In fact, the ancient city was taken by Cheng Yu, and Liu Yu sent the news back to Shangcai with a letter.At the same time, he also told Du Ji that he would immediately lead his army back to Shangcai.Later, there were constant scouts coming and going, and Du Ji knew that Liu Yu was returning to the city today.

No matter what, Du Ji also wanted to do some ceremony to welcome Liu Yu, after all, Liu Yu's identity was there.But he didn't want him to pass this matter to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu told Du Ji not to do this with a black face.

Nonsense, whoever comes back from a defeated battle is unwilling to make the battle bigger.Although Li Tong was beheaded, the ancient city was lost after all, so Liu Yu was subconsciously ashamed.

He even thought that the protagonist in the novel travels back to the Three Kingdoms and wins one battle after another, but when it comes to him, how come he loses one battle after another?
But this is because he belittled himself, others didn't think Liu Yu was defeated.Speaking of which, I have to thank Li Tong, because Li Tong has a great reputation in Runan, and the influence of Liu Yu's killing him has overshadowed the influence of Diu Gucheng.

Therefore, losing the ancient city did not hurt the morale of Liu Yu's army, nor did it destroy Liu Yu's reputation.

But Liu Yu didn't know these things, and insisted that Du Ji not hold the welcome ceremony, which made Du Ji a little confused.Then a scribe next to him chuckled and said a few words, which made him suddenly realize, dumbfounded, and understood what Liu Yu meant.

But anyway, the welcome ceremony was withdrawn.It's just a simple arrangement for the soldiers, and personally greet Liu Yu himself.Of course, the dinner party has already been prepared, and even the attendees have been confirmed.

Fortunately, it was an internal banquet, and no outsiders were invited. Otherwise, Liu Yu said so, it is estimated that the banquet would not be held.

Soon, the sky gradually dimmed, and the red sun in the west slowly sank.The gate of Shangcai City was deserted, only two rows of soldiers were silent, and three scribes were talking and laughing like no one else.

As for Liu Yu at this time, he was waiting several miles away for Chen Dao, who led the infantry, to arrive.He was just too eager to return to his heart before, so he drove the horse to gallop.But he is a master, so he should be more prudent, how can he leave his subordinates and go back early?
Therefore, he was here waiting for Xu Huang and Chen to arrive.Xu Huang had already arrived, while Chen arrived for a while, but it was only half an hour away.Soon, when it was completely dark and the moon was rising in the sky, Chen Dao finally arrived.

Not talking nonsense, Liu Yu drove the horse this time, and went to Shangcai at the same speed as the infantry.Just as they were leaving slowly, a scout rushed to report.

After receiving the report from the scouts, Du Ji seldom adjusted his clothes, smiled and said to the scribe next to him: "Young Master is modest and steady, and he will never let you down."

He already knew this scribe well, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken so casually and praised Liu Yu directly.If you are not familiar with this, you may frown at Du Ji's words.

But the scribe didn't. He just smiled and didn't talk to him. He looked into the distance with deep eyes, as if he was looking at Liu Yu through the night.
