Vol 2 Chapter 1109: Set off (three shifts)

"The four younger siblings begged me to give Brother Zheng a chance to go out to fight. What do you think?"
Gu Jiu kneaded Liu Zhao's shoulders and neck while chatting.
Liu Zhao said, "Liu Zheng, this child, is similar to when I was young, with a single minded mind about fighting. He also has some talent in military and military. Give him a chance, yes!"
Gu Jiu asked him, "South or north?"
"What do you think?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "Should the boss also let him go out and practice."
"Brother Yu?" Liu Zhao was puzzled.
Gu Jiu nodded, "For a long time in the future, the imperial court will continue to use troops. The boss does not understand military affairs and will suffer a lot, which is not conducive to the development of follow-up plans."
Liu Zhao turned over and sat up, looking at Gu Jiu, "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I am joking?" Gu Jiu gave him a white glance.
"You are not afraid that the boss will be in danger outside?"
"You can't let him do something just because you are afraid of encountering danger. Do you want to raise the boss into a waste?"
"That can't! I'm not that stupid, and I can't raise my own son into a waste. I will consider this matter carefully!"
Liu Zhao was a little undecided.
"The war in the south is relaxed. If it is safe, the south must be safer. The only thing is that it is a big trouble. In Xiliang, the war is in full swing. The killings of foreign races are really dangerous. You have to send the boss out to practice, you plan to South or West?"
Gu Jiu said: "You are not worrying about who will lead the troops to Xiliang, I think this is an opportunity for the boss. It is better to let him lead the troops and give him a veteran with a steady focus. By the way, Liu Zheng will also be dispatched. Go to the west. And the few talents under the boss also need opportunities to experience. Just like Chen Zhuangshi and Yang Ji back then, it is because of giving them the opportunity that they can stand out."
Liu Zhao nodded, "This is reasonable. Young people need a chance to experience, maybe they can find the second Yang Ji. It's just that the west side is too dangerous, and I don't worry about the safety of the boss."
Gu Jiu was very straightforward, "Let Qianfu go with the army and send a part of your guards to the boss. I will also send someone to secretly protect. Experience is important, and the safety of the boss is more important. You should also have a good view of our army in Da Zhou. Confidence, you can definitely defeat those foreign races."
"As you said, those foreign races have been brainwashed. Even wives, children and parents can be killed, and there is nothing they can do. The danger is much higher than that of the south. It is better to send the boss to the south. Experience."
"We don't have so much time." Gu Jiu said solemnly.
Liu Zhao looked in a trance, and soon came back to his senses.
The fighting in the south eased, and Liu Yu went to the south to have a chance to fight, but they were all small-scale wars.
It is estimated that a large-scale war may not be encountered within a few years.
On the side of Xiliang, if you think with your toes, you can think of a long and fierce battle, a big battle.
The cruelty of the battlefield will be fully demonstrated.
Various art of war also have their abilities.
It will be the battlefield that the military commander dreams of, a hymn of blood and fire.
Any recruit who arrives on such a battlefield will quickly grow up in the shortest time and become a qualified soldier and a qualified general.
Fighting fierce battles, training people, is by no means comparable to small encounters.
However, the degree of danger is also extremely high, it is very likely that they have not grown up yet, and people have died in a foreign land.
Of course, as a general, Liu Yu didn't need to fight the enemy with a bayonet or climb the wall to fight for his life.
However, the danger still exists.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee 100% safety.
It only takes one or two years for Liu Yu to fully grow up. After the baptism of war and fire, Liu Yu, who has received the top and most elite education, will surely grow into a qualified king.
Liu Zhao's health is not good, I don't know how many years he will last.
Liu Yu needs to be tempered into a hundred battle steel in the shortest time.
The easing of the situation in the south is obviously inappropriate.
Liu Zhao looked at Gu Jiu, "You also think I can't last for many years?"
Gu Jiu's eyes were moist, "It's not a question of how many years you can last, but you need someone to share it for you. In the shortest possible time, you can refine the boss, and he will become your right arm and inherit your will."
Liu Zhao nodded, "You are right. My heirs must accept my will and my plan to open up territory and expand territory. Not to perish and change the course. The emperor who has not been baptized by war cannot understand the importance of starting a war abroad. Sex."
"When Brother Yu can be alone, will you be willing to walk with me throughout the mountains and rivers? Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world?"
Gu Jiu smiled and asked him with tears.
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course I do! I want to take you out of the capital in my dreams, swim in the water and drink tea in the water villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and shoot eagles in the desert. I will walk all over the rivers and mountains, and even go overseas to take a look."
"That's a deal."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
...
Qi Wang Liu Yu was appointed as the commander of the Western Expedition.
There is no clear path to this matter, but there is no way to hide it from well-informed people in the court.
"Your Majesty is determined to attack the Western Regions! Even King Qi is willing to let go. It is estimated that when the spring starts next year, the army will move towards Xiliang."
"Xiliang is Pei Meng's territory, and King Qi is not Pei Meng's opponent."
"King Qi is the prince and prince, much more noble than the king of another surname like Pei Meng."
"The king of Qi is noble in the capital, and when he arrives in Xiliang, the powerful dragon can't beat the snake. Moreover, the king of Qi has no experience in leading troops."
"Your Majesty sent King Qi to the Western Regions. This is a dangerous move. It's too bold. Are you afraid that King Qi has a case?"
"Shhh! Hugh must talk nonsense. Someone in the palace said something similar to worrying about King Qi and was directly arrested by the Shen Xing Department."
"It seems that your Majesty is not worried. Since you are worried about the safety of King Qi, why send King Qi to the Western Regions?"
"This matter is not settled yet. You are talking nonsense here. Be careful to pass it to your Majesty. Everyone can't eat it and walk around."
"It seems that you still don't know enough about the working style of your majesty and the empress. When things pass the clear road and formally settle down, it is hard and fast. Is it our turn to express our views? It is ridiculously naive."
"Your Majesty and Niang Niang usually plan privately and advance step by step. By the time they cross the road, the overall situation is basically settled."
"It is actually very simple to verify the truth of this matter. You only need to pay attention to His Royal Highness's next itinerary to get a glimpse of the truth."
"This makes sense!"
...
Qi Wang Liu Yu accepted the important task, ordered all the people, chose an auspicious day, and left Beijing for the Northwestern Metropolitan Government.
In the next six months, he will eat, live and practice with ten thousand frontier troops, study the situation in the Western Regions, formulate a troop dispatch plan, and prepare for the expedition to the Western Regions next spring.
Liu Zheng was also in the team going west, so excited he wanted to fly.
Liu Zheng's wife was crying, as if she was parting.
Liu Zhengte disliked, "I am going to make meritorious deeds and open up the territory for your majesty. I finally won the opportunity. Why are you crying? Even King Qi is here. What are you worried about!"
"Can you compare with His Royal Highness Qi King?" Liu Zheng's wife slammed back, "King Qi doesn't need to go to the battlefield. There are nearly a thousand master guards around to ensure safety. For you, just fifty soldiers, what can you do? Why are you not willing to ask you to bring more soldiers?"
"It's all a group of weak chickens, take them to die?"
"You don't mean that you will practice in the Northwest for at least half a year, half a year is enough..."
Liu Zheng interrupted his daughter-in-law, "Half a year is not enough! Some people are born with fear of death, and they can't change after a long training. Don't think I only brought fifty soldiers, but all of them are not afraid of death. It’s okay with me. You let me bring a group of guards who are afraid of death, which is purely a hindrance. I don’t want to give my life to a group of people who are afraid of death."
Liu Zheng's wife cried, "I knew it, you wanted to make me angry."
"Okay, okay! Don't cry soon. Tell people to watch the jokes. You don't cry when you see the princess and empress, they are very calm."
Princess Qi and Sun Qiniang had already cried.
On the day King Qi accepted the important task, she cried.
The Western Regions are dangerous and the sky is high and the road is far away.
I don’t know how many years I will return.
Full of melancholy, full of worry, all turned into tears.
After crying for a few times, Sun Qiniang finally adjusted and accepted the fact that Liu Yu was leaving for a few years.
She arranged the collar for Liu Yu, "A good journey! Remember to write to the family, everyone is worried about your safety. Don't try your best, you must remember that your life is not just your own. , But everyone’s. If you have something to do, bah bah bah... you will be safe and victorious. When you see Anxi King Pei Meng, don't fight him hard. He is a ground-headed snake, and a strong dragon will not crush the ground-headed snake. , Don't turn your face..."
Sun Qiniang babbled a lot.
These words, she has been mentioning repeatedly these days.
Liu Yu didn't dislike her being long-winded, but smiled instead.
"Worry about this king?"
"Naturally I am worried!"
"Take good care of this king's home. Within two or three years, this king will definitely come back. Come back with merit."
"I'm waiting for you! You have to come back soon, and the father and the queen are waiting for you."
Liu Yu nodded heavily, riding a horse, staring affectionately, everything was silent.
"drive!"
The team set off and headed west.
A group of young people are full of spirits, dreams and courage.
After all these years, how many people can return?
