Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 228 Evacuation
Liu Yu collapsed in the army.

But now it is impossible to mourn for him.

Because there are still 10,000+ troops trapped in this small Shangdang County.

Once the soldiers know the news about Liu Yu, their morale will be so low that they will collapse in an instant.

Liu Yu's prestige in the army is unquestionable, but because of this prestige, now he has become a poison that may kill these soldiers at any time.

Not to mention let Tuoba Si know!

Before Liu Yu died, he guessed Tuoba Si's plan. If Tuoba Si took advantage of this time to attack, it would be difficult for the 10,000+ Song army to survive.

At this time, Shangdang County is like a bag that traps the Song Army. One day without withdrawing from Shangdang County, the news of Liu Yu's collapse in the army cannot be made public.

At this time, Liu Yu's eldest son, Liu Yifu, was located in Liu Yu's previous position.

He has not escaped the grief of Liu Yu's death, but the current situation does not allow him to immerse himself in grief.

Right now Liu Yizhen is not in the army, he must carry the banner.

He took a deep breath and scanned the few important officials below.

Wang Zhongde, Zhu Lingshi, Kuai En.

Wang Hong, Xie Hui, Fu Liang.

Only these six people knew the news that Liu Yu had passed away, while others, such as doctors and soldiers, were put under surveillance and they were not allowed to contact the outside world.

"Everyone..."

Liu Yifu bit his pale lips and said:
"What we have to do now is to withdraw the army in its entirety. We must not let Suo Lu know our army's intentions, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Liu Yu passed away, but the country he left behind is still there.

But if the 10,000+ army and countless Liu Song officials in the army were also trapped in the Shangdang and the entire army was wiped out, it would be almost a catastrophe for the Han Dynasty.

Wang Zhongde and Zhu Lingshi did not get out of the sad mood at this time.

But both of them are well-known generals who have experienced many battles, and they understand the priorities.

Wang Zhongde came to the map first, pointing to the route around Shangdang.

"From Shangdang back to the Central Plains, now either retreat from Jiexiu in the northwest to Hedong, or go to Hanoi from the south, and then organize soldiers to cross the river."

"only……"

Wang Zhongde pointed to the location of She County.

"Before, our army came here aggressively to confront the Wei army. I'm afraid that the sudden withdrawal will make the other party suspicious."

Liu Yifu frowned: "Old General Wang has something to say, let's quickly come up with a countermeasure. Now every moment of delay, the greater the possibility of our army being exposed."

Wang Zhongde made a circle with his finger to the north.

"If our army wants to retreat safely, it cannot directly take the road to the south."

"Otherwise, it would be easy to be noticed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and we would have to cross a big river in the south, so it would take a lot of time to withdraw the troops."

"I suggest that our army go directly to the north, pretending to attack Huguan, and take the posture of Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then march westward to Pingyang."

"only……"

Wang Zhongde showed a worried look: "Even if we want to go north, we must send some troops to stay in Shangdang, and the number should not be small. Otherwise, such an attack that does not leave a retreat for ourselves will also make the Northern Wei Dynasty suspicious."

After sitting quietly for a while, Liu Yifu suddenly said, "Gu can stay."

"No!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"..."

Several people spoke out to stop it.

They all respect Liu Yuruo as a god, how can there be any reason to put Liu Yu's eldest son in danger just after Liu Yu's death?
"Don't argue again, there is no time now."

Liu Yifu took a gold helmet from the table and put it on his head, making the others stunned.

like……

Like Liu Yu.

Liu Yifu stood up: "It's not easy to hide from Tuoba Si."

"Gu and the father are very similar in shape and appearance. Gu can pretend to be the father and try to delay it for a few days."

Others are still trying to persuade him, Liu Yifu has already started to arrange the following things.

He looked at Wang Hong, the father-in-law of his second brother.

"Wang Pushe, I order you to bring the seal of the emperor, the soldier talisman, and...the body of the emperor father, and then cross the river from Zhe County in the south to Jiankang, and hand over the seal to King Qin."

Especially Liu Yu's remains.

Liu Yifu will never tolerate any damage to his father's body and must be brought to Jiankang as soon as possible.

The reason why Wang Hong was chosen is because Wang Hong is now considered to be a relative, and he is in charge of things such as the emperor's seal, so there is no need to worry about any accidents.

If it was Xie Hui or Fu Liang, Liu Yifu had no idea.

Wang Hong took the order immediately.

The army is important, and so are these.

"Okay, let's arrange it as soon as possible. Don't delay any longer, Tuoba Si will find out the clue!"

After Liu Yifu arranged the matter properly, he asked everyone to prepare, and gave them all a top-secret password.

After several people left, Liu Yifu took off the golden helmet on his head, hugged his head again and burst into tears.

The calmness just now was actually just pretending.

It's just that Mr. Guo Lai has no choice but to do so.

Liu Yifu turned his head to look at the bed covered by the curtain, where Liu Yu's body was lying.

"Father..."

After looking at the bed for a long time, Liu Yifu wiped away his tears again, lit an oil lamp, and began to write letters.

"It is said that Liu Yilong, king of Hongnong, and Liu Yikang, king of Pengcheng, came to see us."

Liu Yifu can stay by himself, but he must ensure the safety of his younger brother.

Liu Yilong and Liu Yikang didn't know what happened at this time. It wasn't until they saw Liu Yu's body that they felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and their tears couldn't stop falling.

"Third brother, fourth brother..."

Liu Yifu stuffed a letter into Liu Yilong's hands, and told him: "Let's set off now, and rush to Jiankang as quickly as possible. Give the news of the father's death and this letter to the second brother, and let him Take countermeasures as soon as possible.”

Liu Yilong's eyes were red: "Brother, then you..."

"I want to stay for my brother."

Liu Yifu comforted Liu Yilong: "Don't worry, as soon as the army withdraws, I will cross the river and go to Luoyang. Don't worry too much."

Liu Yilong clutched the letter tightly, pulled Liu Yikang who was still crying, and assured Liu Yifu: "I will rush to Jiankang as soon as possible."

"Brother."

"Ok?"

"You promised me that you must come back. I am waiting for you in Jiankang, and my second brother is also waiting for you in Jiankang."

Liu Yifu was startled, then laughed: "Of course."

He put his hand on Liu Yikang's head and pressed heavily a few times to stop him from crying.

"Let's go, the current Shangdang is not a place to stay for a long time. The earlier you go, the less dangerous you will be."

Liu Yilong also knew the danger of the situation and the urgency of the matter, so he took Liu Yikang away immediately.

They pretended to be messengers along the way, saying only that they had ordinary documents to be delivered to Jiankang, and soon crossed Zhi County, crossed a big river, and arrived in Luoyang.

After arriving in Luoyang, Liu Yilong couldn't help but think of his newly born son Liu Jun.

But right now Liu Yilong obviously couldn't reveal his identity, let alone delay time in Luoyang.He just looked at his son's residence from a distance, then turned his head and left.

Now, he has to save more children and fathers.
