Chapter 0082 The Sorrow of Yujuro
"How can I command General Yu Juluo?" Wang Shichong's face froze and he smiled bitterly. Of course, he understood what Yu Shiji meant. He wanted to use Li Yu to get rid of Yu Juluo, so he let Yu Juluo lead 3,000 soldiers. What can 3,000 soldiers do? Li Yu had defeated Yin Shishi's 30,000 troops before. No matter how brave Yu Juluo was, it would be useless.
"You were not asked to command Yu Juluo. Do you have his prestige ? Yu Juluo is the main general in the army. His troops have to deal with Liu Yuanjin, and the Jianghuai troops have not been reorganized yet. You are asked to prepare for war, and he can only attack Li Yu. Kill Yu Juluo within the specified time." Yu Shiji glared at Wang Shichong. Although Yang Guang asked Yu Juluo to be the vanguard, he was a general in the army with high prestige. Who would dare to let him go as the vanguard? But even if he was a general, it would be useless without soldiers.
Wang Shichong suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, even showing a hint of embarrassment on his face. But what he was thinking in his heart was not something Yu Shiji could know.
"If you can't defeat Li Yu in this three-pronged attack, do you know what will happen to you?" Yu Shiji glared at Wang Shichong and said, "Li Yu is getting stronger and stronger, which is bad for the court. Remember that?"
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely be able to take Li Yu's head." Wang Shichong patted his chest and said. If an army of 50,000 or 60,000 couldn't kill Li Yu, it meant that he, Wang Shichong, was incompetent.
"Don't underestimate Li Yu. Don't forget that Yin Shishi's 30,000-strong army was defeated by him." Yu Shiji looked at Wang Shichong with dissatisfaction, and the flattering smile of the past appeared on Wang Shichong's face again.
"Don't get along with the Guanlong aristocratic families. Your Majesty is most afraid of these people." Yu Shiji glanced at Wang Shichong and said, "We are all your Majesty's people. Whether it's Guanlong or Guandong, these aristocratic families will not trust us."
It was quite good that Wang Shichong, a foreigner, was able to climb to his current position. But in this era, if one wanted to get promoted and make money, one had to get close to the aristocratic families. The same was true for Wang Shichong, so he usually yearned for those aristocratic families.
"I understand." Wang Shichong straightened his face and said quickly.
Yu Shiji then waved his hand and asked Wang Shichong to withdraw. The army went out, and it was unknown how much food and fodder it would consume. These were all issues that Yu Shiji had to consider.
Yuwen Shu returned to his house, called Yuwen Huaji over, and said, " His Majesty has agreed to let you lead the army to Wancheng. Remember, your mission is to occupy Wancheng and Nanyang. Be careful."
"Father, aren't you going to destroy Li Yu?" Yu Wenzhi hesitated.
"Li Yu has only 10,000 men. Qu Tutong and Wang Shichong are enough to eliminate Li Yu. When you go to Wancheng this time, Yuan Zhao will definitely be useless. County Magistrate Lü Zizang has some ability. It would be better if you can recruit him for your own use. If not, let him lead the army to deal with Li Yu and use Li Yu to get rid of him. Also, if Yu Juluo asks you for help, you must not agree to it." Yuwen Shu was afraid that Yu Wenzhi would rescue Yu Juluo, so he quickly reminded him, "He can only lead 3,000 men to deal with Li Yu this time. Although his martial arts are very high, he is definitely not Li Yu's opponent. It's better to let them fight to the death."
"Your Majesty, is you so afraid of Yujuro?" Yu Wenzhi sighed.
"Who wouldn't be afraid of a person who is born with extraordinary vision?" Yuwen Shu shook his head. Not only Yang Guang was afraid of this kind of person, but Yuwen Shu himself also disliked him. He didn't like people who couldn't be used for his own purposes.
In Daxing City, at the residence of Duke Tang, Li Xiuning soon learned the news from the court. Looking at the information in his hand, Li Xiuning took a deep breath. Li Yu had only 10,000 men under his command, and now facing the siege of tens of thousands of troops, Li Xiuning didn't know whether Li Yu could escape this encirclement.
"Sanbao, hurry up and send someone to pass this news to Li Yu." Li Xiuning called Ma Sanbao over and handed the letter to him.
"Madam, who is Li Yu? Why should we help him?" Ma Sanbao thought of Li Yu's appearance and suddenly felt dissatisfied, and couldn't help but say.
"Helping him is equivalent to helping us. If Li Yu fails, Yang Guang's kingdom will be more stable. As long as Li Yu develops, we will have a chance. If we let Li Yu attack Guanzhong, that would be interesting." Li Xiuning taught: "The fate of the Great Sui Dynasty is not over yet. We need people like Li Yu to constantly consume the country and people of the Great Sui Dynasty."
Li Xiuning could not forget her father's fear of Yang Guang, and Yang Guang's suspicion of the Li clan. Every time Li Yuan was in trouble, it was the Dou clan that attacked and begged for mercy. Li Xiuning could not forget that when Li Shimin was just born, Li Yuan had just been sent out of Beijing and had just left Daxing when he was assassinated.
When it comes to overthrowing the Yang family's regime, Li Xiuning is more concerned than Li Yuan. She doesn't care who Li Yu is, whether he has any role to play, or whether they will win or lose in the end. She only knows that Li Yu can help delay Yang Guang's troops, and even with her help, they may win.
"Yes, Sanbao will go right away." Ma Sanbao felt a pain in his heart when he heard this, and quickly said, "Don't worry, madam, I will tell Li Yu to be careful." Ma Sanbao looked at Li Xiuning with a frown and said quickly.
Li Xiuning nodded and ignored Ma Sanbao. Instead, she focused her eyes on the information in front of her. She wanted to use these words to come up with more strategies to help Li Yu win the war.
The river is vast, with countless ships. An old veteran is wearing armor, holding a big sword, with an old face and silver hair. What is different from ordinary people is that this man is tall, and there are two pupils flickering between his eyes. This is the famous natural double pupils. Throughout the ages, such people have the appearance of emperors. In Yu Juluo, it is reflected in his boundless strength and superb martial arts. He stands on a big ship, with three thousand elite troops behind him. As a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, even if he is a military general now, he should not have only three thousand people around him.
"Father, do you want to let Junior Brother Tianbao come to help you?" A young man whispered behind Yu Juro. He was Yu Juro's eldest disciple and also his adopted son. He took Yu Juro's surname and was called Yu Shiqi. He also used a big knife.
"It's useless. Your Majesty is too suspicious of me. It will be of no use even if Tianbao comes." Yu Juro shook his head and said, "This time, I want to prove to the world that I, Yu Juro, have no second thoughts about the court." Yu Juro's voice was tragic. Anyone who was suspected like this would be furious.
Yu Shiqi looked miserable after hearing this, but he still forced a smile and said, "Father, this time we are only dealing with one Li Yu. Even if there are 10,000 people, they are no match for us. Father will definitely win in one battle."
