MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 42 leave

As he spoke, he raised a glass and invited Liu Xiu to drink with him.

After a glass of wine, the taste is sweet, fragrant, and the aftertaste is long, which is completely different from the usual northern wines. Liu Yu tasted the difference and asked, "This wine is very beautiful, I don't know where Junshan got it?"

Zhao You put down the wine glass with a smile, pointed to the wine jar beside him and said, "Your Majesty, this wine comes from Wuyue in the south, and it is a fine wine for more than ten years. Back then, when my father was fortunate enough to travel to the south, when the locals gave birth to their daughters, they would drink it. The wine was buried in the soil, and the wine was taken out and drank when the daughter got married and had children. At that time, A Shu was still young, and her late father felt it, so he specially invited someone to brew a few jars in preparation for A Shu to open it when she got married."

When he said this, he seemed to remember the scene of that day, and there was a little emotion in his eyes.

"On the wedding ceremony, I didn't take out the wine. First, it was due to the rush of time. It took a lot of time to transport the wine back from the south. Second, it was also because this marriage was not what both parties wanted. I dare not deceive the king. , If Ashu insisted and persuaded me, or risked offending the queen mother and the king, I would definitely not agree to this marriage."

"But this time, I wrote such a fierce letter to the king before. The king was not angry, but he still willing to come in person. I can see that the king's treatment of Shu is not ruthless." He said, suddenly stood up and worshipped , "If You have offended before, please forgive me."

It was an apology.

Liu Xiu was a little dazed, and he still kept in his mind what he just said-"If it wasn't for Ah Shu insisted".

It turned out that on that day, she took the initiative to marry him.

He felt a different kind of feeling in his heart, not only a little inexplicable joy, but also as if he was lost, and for a moment, he remembered that Zhao You was still there, so he quickly went to help him up.

What Zhao You said later, he didn't listen too much, but felt that the wine was extraordinarily delicious. The two of them drank until both altars were empty, and they said goodbye slightly drunk.

When Liu Xiu returned to the house in a trance, Ashu had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw someone, she stood up to meet him, in a good mood and wanted to undress him.

The aroma of the wine came to her nostrils, she covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Is your majesty drunk?"

Liu Xiu was not the same as before he left. He was afraid of her happy mood, so he obeyed and let her take off his robe. Then, regardless of the servants' presence, he hugged the person directly, and approached to ask: "Listen to Junshan, that day you took the initiative to persuade him to marry me?"

He used to see that she seemed to be innately afraid of himself, and only thought that she was reluctant to this marriage. Today, he found out that she took the initiative to persuade Zhao You to marry him.

Ah Shu didn't know that his brother would talk to him about this. He was stunned for a while, then his cheeks flushed red, and he faltered and said, "You, I... no..."

Liu Yu didn't even bother to joke with her, looked straight into her watery dodging eyes, and said sternly: "Why? You are so afraid of me, why do you want to marry me?"

When Ah Shu heard his question, she lowered her head even more at a loss, and didn't dare to say a word. How would she say this? Marrying him that day was also an expedient measure. Wasn't he persuading Brother A for fear of being jealous of him in the future?

He looked like he was asking the bottom line, but he didn't get a response for a long time. After waiting for a long time, he suddenly lost his mind and asked uncertainly: "You married me, but you regret it?"

Ashu looked up at him inexplicably, then lowered her head quickly, and murmured, "I dare not, it is a blessing to be able to marry the king, how can you regret it?"

If she said regret, she only regretted that she was like a demon that day, and she wanted to recognize her biological mother, and that she caused such a lot of trouble now.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xiu couldn't believe her intuition, as if she had been punched in the head, frustrated and unwilling.

In the middle of the night, after the two became intimate, their hands were folded and wrapped around one place.

He rubbed the smooth skin on her shoulders and said gloomily, "Since you have married me, I will not allow you to regret it."

…

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Yu got up and said goodbye to the county officials and the tyrants of the various clans. After a long busy day, he set off in the afternoon as planned.

As the queen, Ah Shu went to see them off in person.

Before leaving, he stood half an arm away from her, standing against the wind, and with a voice only she could hear, he said solemnly: "This time, let you stay in Handan, and I will take care of the family affairs and take Jizhou into my pocket. Today is the day I came to pick you up and reply to the letter.”

Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, staring at him with a deep profile against the cold wind, unable to speak for a while.

She only said that she would leave after her sister-in-law gave birth successfully, and he agreed. Now it sounds like he is full of confidence and will bring the entire Jizhou under his command at that time, and it seems that he has been quietly brewing something she doesn't know.

He didn't have time to think about it, in the distant congratulations of the crowd, he had already led the entourage on the horse, bowed slightly to the crowd, and then drove the horse away, gradually disappearing outside the city.

…

However, it is said that Liang Yan was born in a family of princes, and his ancestors once had four of the three princes. It's just that the branch of Liang Yan has not produced talents for several generations, and has long been living in the common people, unknown.

At first, he made a living by reading divinations, but he traveled all over the world before he was established. Later, because of the spirit of dragon prosperity, he was called Liu Yan of the Liu Han clan at first. He lobbied for the support of several local nobles, and while the world was in chaos, he attracted a few groups of refugees, so that he could become king in Lingshou last year.

For several months, he took advantage of the young emperor's first ascension to the throne and his foundation was unstable. Geng Yun was busy with internal struggles in the court and had no time to take care of it, so he quietly expanded his power to the territory of Bingzhou. Now he has taken Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. It seems to be close to the entire Jizhou.

It can be said that among the many forces in Jizhou that govern themselves, Liang Yan is the most. Taking this opportunity, he established himself as emperor, still holding the flag of the Han Dynasty, and set the life of the capital.

This time, he seems to have only assembled 80,000 people, but in fact, he far exceeds Liu Yu in terms of reserve military supplies.

Liu Yu knew that this time would be a tough battle, so after leaving from Handan, he rushed to Xindu non-stop, while sending envoys to various counties in Jizhou, persuading him to send troops together to attack Liang Yu.

If it was in the past, the counties would not agree easily. But this time, it was only after he used the soldiers of Zhen Ding to defeat the Julu and Zhongshan coalition forces, everyone saw his greatness, and they had heard of him from Jizhou, and the journey was smooth, and people continued to go to serve, more and more. trust it.

Moreover, in the past, the various forces in Jizhou could still reach a balance, but now Liang Yan not only expanded outwards, but also suddenly became emperor, which has broken this delicate balance. If there is no more troops at this moment, he may only end up being annexed by it in the future.

In a short time, all localities agreed to jointly raise troops to meet the enemy.

After discussing with the generals, Liu Yu quickly made a plan. Before Liang Yu's army arrived, the troops from each county were divided into two groups, and they used Zhending and Zhongshan from both sides to make a surprise attack in the direction of Lingshou. The rest except the defenders. , Liu Yu personally led the army of Xindu and Zhending, with a total of 80,000 people, and directly attacked Liang Yu's army from the middle road.

In this way, the main force in the middle was equal in number to Liang Yan's army, and they were evenly matched, and there were surprise troops on both sides that directly attacked their stronghold.

After two months, Liang Yan saw that the situation was not good, and he easily left Lingshou, who had just been designated as the capital, and retreated after a series of defeats, until he left Changshan and Jizhou.

Until the end of the year, when the Lichun sacrificial ceremony was in sight, Liu Qiu withdrew his troops.

He knew that Liang Yan's defeat was not just because of his tactics. The more important reason was that Liang Yan had occupied Taiyuan and abandoned Changshan, and there was still a vast rear area to defend. However, his coalition forces from several places have not been run in enough, and they should not fight a protracted war.

Fortunately, the temporary disaster has been eliminated, and spring ploughing will be required soon, and after the troops are dispersed, they will go back to cultivate.

…

At the same time, in the city of Handan, A Shu rarely lived a long and worry-free life.

When Liu Yu was fighting, Zhao You seemed to be afraid of her mind, so he took the initiative to send someone to inquire about the news, and relayed back the battle situation on the front line from time to time.

But when he saw Ah Shu's unconcerned appearance, he couldn't help crying and laughing, and he was very happy at the same time.

It seems that Liu Xiu is only a little hot now, and his sister is still not good enough.

Deng Wan is nearly seven months pregnant now, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, her face is gradually swollen, and her usual temperament is also much bigger. She often cries for no reason, becoming more and more like a child.

Rao is a number of medical workers and Wen Po are all right, but Zhao You is still worried, and keeps on the side every day, taking care of him personally.

He gradually took care of Ashu more and more flawlessly, and only devoted himself to accompany his wife to give birth. And although Ah Shu still went to visit her every day, she didn't dare to be with Deng Wan every day, for fear that one might make her cry.

Just at this time, the news of Liu Yu's victory came, but Ah Shu received another secret letter.

The letter was on silk and silk, sealed in a bamboo tube, and sent to the mansion by someone in Liu Yu's name, and handed it to her.

At first, she didn't pay attention, only surprised.

Liu Yu had been away for more than two months and had never written a letter to her, but now it was suddenly sent.

Until she opened the reading, Fang felt something was wrong.

The words written in the thick black ink are barely considered neat and graceful, and the words are not smooth and concise. There is a red seal at the end, indicating that this letter is actually from the Queen Mother Zhang!

In this letter, more than 600 words were written, except that he repeatedly mentioned that he and the young emperor were in a difficult situation.

Ah Shu read it many times from beginning to end, and became dazed.

This is her own handwriting after the second chapter she received in her life.

The first letter was when she was called to Chang'an as a chess piece that day.

In addition to the sluggish words and poor handwriting in both letters, which made them seem sincere and sincere, they also tried their best to express the difficulties and difficulties of the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor, in exchange for her mercy and sacrifice.

Now, it is probably because Liu Yu's growth rate is too fast, and the empress dowager is disturbed, that he wrote to her just now.

If she guessed correctly, Empress Zhang was probably trying to suppress Liu Ruo with her so-called fate of fighting against Emperor Xing.

As everyone knows, this so-called fate is basically made up by her.

A small smile twitched on her lips, implying disappointment and ridicule.

This is her mother.

She silently placed the letter among the candles and watched it burn.

The elder brother only cares about his sister-in-law at this time, so he shouldn't bother him with this matter.

She got up and was about to go back to the inner room, but suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, took out the silk and ink, and wrote a letter in a few words, showing that Liu Xiu had no objection. Son, quietly send it to the person who delivered the letter, so that it will be sent back to Chang'an.

Since the empress dowager is so shameless, she might as well take advantage of the situation, so that the empress dowager can rest for a while, dispel doubts, and give Liu Yu more opportunities to teach him to do things as soon as possible and enter Chang'an City.
