Perhaps it was General Yu's words that made Prince Su forget that Liu Yin was afraid of fighting and fled first.
I saw him walking directly to General Yu.
"Are you crazy? The Huns have already retreated. Since there is no need to worry about the northern border, what reason do we have to continue pursuing deep into the grassland?"
"The emperor's decree is for us to ensure peace in the north. If the Huns invade the border, we will repel them. But he never said that we would lead the army to pursue the Huns. General Yu, are you going to do this? Is it okay to disobey the emperor’s order?”
However, Prince Su's stern questioning did not change General Yu's attitude.
"Old General Liu, what you said is correct, but the Huns dare to invade our Daqing border and come here arrogantly. Is it possible that we should let him go back arrogantly?"
"You just heard that the Xiongnu are now stationed hundreds of miles away. I think it won't be long before they return to the grassland tribes."
"They certainly wouldn't have thought that we, Daqing, had reinforcements and would suddenly attack them. Wouldn't it be a pity if we missed this golden opportunity to annihilate the Huns?"
When Prince Su heard this, he immediately snorted coldly.
"General Yu, since the enemy is stationed outside, he is naturally well prepared. How can we allow you to carry out sneak attacks at will?"
"No matter what, I don't agree. As the supervisor of the army, I order you to lead the army back to Yizhou immediately! Please report the situation here to the Holy One and then make a decision!"
Although General Yu is not tall, he is full of momentum.
Unlike others, he didn't care about Prince Su's identity at all. He put his hands on his hips and stared at his eyes like bells.
"General Liu, don't forget that I am the leader, and everyone must listen to me. I have made up my mind to lead the army immediately to pursue the Huns. After I have made great achievements, I will naturally come to you. Your Majesty, tell me!"
After being a prince for so many years, let alone a general, even the emperor must give him some respect.
There has never been a person who contradicted me so much.
Prince Su's anger suddenly came up, and he directly grabbed General Yu's collar.
"Baby, I've tolerated you for a long time!"
"When I was on the battlefield, your special mother was not even born yet. What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"
General Yu is also a man with a temper.
He threw away Prince Su's big hand that was holding him, jumped back a step, and kicked him high.
"What's the matter? Old general, are you trying to argue with me?"
Seeing this, Liu Yin quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Uncle Emperor, General Yu, what are you two doing?"
"Uncle Emperor, in my opinion, General Yu is right. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"We now have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses including the defenders of Beiping City. The Huns only have nearly 300,000 soldiers. With the strength of our Daqing soldiers and horses, we can definitely defeat them all."
"Especially now that the Xiongnu are renovating, they will definitely not expect that our army will suddenly attack. Uncle Emperor, if we miss the opportunity, we will not come again. Don't hesitate!"
Regarding Liu Yin, what General Yu said was exactly what he wanted.
If he just withdraws his troops like this, he will inevitably be accused of fleeing because of cowardice.
But what if he followed General Yu and defeated the Huns together.
Haha, this is a great achievement, and it can even directly compare to Liu Qi.
By then, with this merit, it won’t be up to you to say what you say. When the time comes, I am afraid that if I am not the crown prince, it will easily fall on my head.
In this way, it seems to be persuading. In fact, Liu Yin did not hesitate at all and directly stood on General Yu's side.
Afterwards, Prince Su and General Yu had another heated argument.
However, the final command of the troops was still in the hands of Yu Pengji. Even as a supervisor, Prince Su had no ability to stop this young boy.
"Old General Liu, I just want to ask you a question. Are you going or not?"
Prince Su snorted coldly.
"I will not go with you, and the soldiers and horses I brought here will not go with you, including the defenders of Beiping Pass, General Yu. If you do this, you will wait for the emperor to punish you. Bar!"
Yu Pengji sneered a few times.
"Hahaha, old general, you are really old. Your courage is really not as good as it was back then!"
"Okay, since that's the case, I won't force you any more. I won't leave you with this opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
"As for your troops and the garrison at Beiping Pass, even if you don't tell me, I have no intention of taking them with me. I still have an army of 170,000 on hand, which is enough to fight against those Xiongnu minions. ”
"But after I finish the victory, I will trouble the old general to take your troops and defenders to clean the battlefield for us, hahaha."
After saying that, he was gearing up and ready to deploy troops.
At this time, Liu Yin quickly followed behind him.
"General Yu, can you take me with you?"
Yu Pengji looked at him in surprise.
"Oh? The fourth prince also wants to join the war?"
Liu Yin chuckled.
"As a prince, I am also a citizen of Daqing. It is natural for me to contribute to Daqing. I don't need more, as long as you allocate 10,000 troops to me."
What Liu Yin said was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he were a great hero fighting against foreign enemies.
But in his heart, he was thinking that he brought these soldiers just to protect himself. He went with General Yu and defeated the Huns. Then he would make a real contribution.
"Yin'er, do you also want to disobey your father's will?"
Liu Yin turned around and looked at Prince Su with a smile.
"Uncle Emperor, it is true that my father ordered to support Beiping Pass, but doesn't he know the current situation? If he knew that there was such a good opportunity, I think he would definitely agree with General Yu's approach."
"No matter what, if something happens, it has nothing to do with you, uncle. This is the prince's own decision."
After saying that, he chased after Yu Pengji who had gone away.
"General, wait for me!"
...
Looking at their leaving figures, Prince Su was angry and worried.
He immediately summoned an attendant beside him.
"Quick! Hurry to Qingdu and inform His Majesty of the situation here! Go quickly!"
Wait until the attendant leaves.
He pondered for a while, then led the guards of Beiping Pass to the city wall.
At this time, I heard what the Beiping Gatekeeper said.
"Sir, the prince is really good at predicting things. After he arrived, he already concluded that the Huns would retreat and would not invade our border at Daqing. It's true, he just said some soft words, and the Huns withdrew directly."
"Soft words?"
Immediately afterwards, the guard general brought the prince and his army over, and told Prince Su everything including what had happened over the past few days.
After hearing what he said, Prince Su nodded silently.
"The prince indeed had a plan in advance. I admire him! If the fourth prince had half the mind of the prince, he wouldn't be able to follow that stupid boy and do such stupid things."
The guard saw his sad face and comforted him.
"Don't worry, General. General Yu is also a general who has experienced hundreds of battles. Maybe this time, he can really take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Huns. If this is the case, my northern territory will never be able to fight again in the future. No worries."
Prince Su let out a long sigh.
"Well, I hope so."
While the two were talking, Yu Pengji, Liu Yin and other generals were already galloping out of the city from Beiping Pass with their army.
Watching the army leaving, Prince Su stood on the city wall with a solemn brow.
Although according to common sense, this is indeed a very good opportunity, in his heart, with many years of experience, he always has a vague, very bad feeling...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.
Until now, apart from eating, Prince Su spent the rest of his time standing on the city wall, always waiting for news from the distance.
"Sir, please go back and take a rest. I'm afraid now that the war has started, even if there is news, it won't be until tomorrow morning."
"No, you go back, I want to wait here a little longer."
The guard persuaded him not to move, so he could only stand beside him.
After almost two hours, falling snowflakes began to fall outside.
At this moment, a soldier was heard shouting.
"Look! Someone is coming from ahead!"
