I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"What else can I order?" Xiao Guoliang said seriously.

"There are 200,000 troops coming from the south. It would be a big expense for them to stay in the capital."

"So, the emperor asked the two of us old guys to go to the south with 200,000 soldiers."

"First, send 200,000 troops back to the south to relieve the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue in the capital."

"Secondly, we will kill all the rebels along the way and then return with silver, money, cotton and food."

Xiao Guoliang looked at Bai Hong thinking and continued,

"It's not as fast as waiting for those people to deliver it to us."

"The thing is that we have to take advantage of the fact that the ministers are in the court and leave quickly with our soldiers. This way, we can catch those who want to rebel by surprise."

"To save those people from betraying us and sending letters after the court session to deceive you and me."

"The emperor asked me to leave immediately?" Bai Hong always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

After all, what Xiao Guoliang said made sense. After waiting for so many days and still no news coming from the south, they might as well go there.

It is possible that the previous imperial edict was issued by Emperor Wu of Liang, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, those who were transporting the things hesitated.

"Of course." Xiao Guoliang nodded, "Otherwise why would I come to you at this time."

"The 200,000 troops are stationed at the gate of the capital. We can just leave the city and lead them to the south."

He would feel uneasy if he stayed in the capital for one more day.

Who knows if Xiao Yunzhan will suddenly go crazy and not want to be the emperor anymore and give the throne to him.

"Then I will leave immediately."

As he spoke, Bai Hong took off his official robe and changed directly into the battle robe hanging in the study.

Xiao Guoliang watched Bai Hong change his clothes and immediately walked to the door.

"Let's go together."

Bai Hong was stunned, "You're going with me?"

"What else?" Xiao Guoliang glanced at Bai Hong speechlessly.

It seems that after he talked for such a long time, Bai Hong thought that he was just here to convey the emperor's oral order.

He kept saying "we", but Lao Bai didn't hear him at all.

"Huh!?" Bai Hong paused and looked at Xiao Guoliang with a puzzled look.

"You don't care about the 300,000 Heavenly God Army?"

Recently, Lao Xiao has been staying in the military camp. He only returned to the palace for one night last night when the emperor and empress got married.

It can be seen how much Xiao Guoliang values ​​the Heavenly God Army. Why did he suddenly give up on them?

"Why don't you care?" Xiao Guoliang pulled Bai Hong's arm and said as he walked out.

"I'm going to the South to get them winter clothes as soon as possible."

"I was in the barracks all day, watching the soldiers shivering in the cold. They could only run to keep away the cold. I felt so bad."

"Hey~"

"Do you think I want to go to the South? I can't stand the hot and humid environment in the South."

Bai Hong looked at Xiao Guoliang's worried face, sighed and patted his shoulder.

"Let's go and come back quickly to save the soldiers from suffering."

"it is good!"

Bai Hong had no idea that the emperor's father would pass on a false order, so the two brothers rode their horses straight out of the city...

.......

"Geng Wu!?"

As soon as Xiao Yunyou walked out of the palace gate, he met Geng Wu who was about to enter the palace.

"Your Highness is honored to see you." Geng Wu immediately knelt on one knee to salute.

All the members of the Xiao family were conferred the title of prince, but due to time constraints, the titles of the princes have not yet been decided.

The most controversial issue was that Xiao Yunzhan wanted to confer the title of king on the female members of the Xiao family as well. This made the Ministry of Rites very embarrassed, as they did not know how to propose titles for them.

This is why the Xiao family dares to think and act. If the queen didn't care, Xiao Yunzhan would even propose to establish one country with two emperors.

The emperor and empress were called the Double Emperors, and they simultaneously ran the government and attended morning court together.

When Xiao Yunzhan brought up this matter, the entire capital city was in an uproar.

He also admired the Xiao family from the bottom of his heart for their courage to take the risk of going against the world.

Not every emperor has the courage to do this.

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yunyou looked at Geng Wu in confusion.

"How will you be here?"

"But what happened to the 200,000-man army?"

Geng Wu was in charge of the 200,000 troops he brought from the south.

The military camp in the capital had limited capacity, so the 200,000 troops were all stationed at the city gates.

However, since they were soldiers from the south, they were not very resistant to cold.

After the temperature dropped in the past few days, the soldiers were really freezing.

Could it be that some soldiers froze to death?

Xiao Yunyou's heart trembled and he stared at Geng Wu worriedly.

Geng Wu was startled and said with a smile,

"No problems, the handover went smoothly."

The retired emperor said that the emperor sympathized with him because he had just returned from the south with his troops and had worked hard on the journey, so he allowed him to stay in the capital and no longer had to follow the 200,000-strong army to the south.

He and the emperor still had the friendship they had in their early years, and he was deeply touched that the emperor still cared about him even when he was so busy.

After the handover was completed, he didn't even return home, but rushed to the palace to express his gratitude.

"What handover?" Xiao Yunyou was very confused.

My third brother just went to the Ministry of War with the Minister of War and selected two deputy generals to accompany him to the south.

How come Geng Wu's handover went smoothly?

Geng Wu looked at Xiao Yunyou's reaction and blinked twice in confusion.

"Two hundred thousand troops handed over to General Bai and the Emperor."

"They were ordered to lead an army of 200,000 to the south to quell the rebellion and stabilize the people's hearts."

"And bring back cotton for winter clothes."

Didn’t the emperor say this when he was in court? Why does Xiao Yunyou look like he doesn’t understand?

According to the time, the retired emperor and General Bai went to the city gate to take over, which was just after the court session, so there was nothing wrong with that.

Geng Wu had no idea that the morning court session was delayed for more than an hour.

Even if he knew that the morning court was postponed, he would not doubt the emperor.

This was something that had to be done. If the soldiers from the south stayed in the capital any longer, they would not be able to hold on.

"Heh~" Xiao Yunyou was so angry that he laughed at his father's action.

After a long time, my father ran away in a hurry just to do this.

He thought his father had really gone to the military camp, but it turned out...

"What's... wrong?" Geng Wu looked at Xiao Yunyou's half-smile and half-smile, and suddenly felt unsure.

Which link went wrong?

"Nothing, you should go to the palace to see the emperor first."

His own father had already run away with his troops, what could Xiao Yunyou do?

Anyway, we have to arrange for someone to go to the south, so it doesn’t matter if that person is his father.

Xiao Yunyou turned on his toes and went straight to the Ministry of War.

Now that dad has gone to the South, the third brother doesn't have to go to the South anymore. He has to go and discuss the matter with the third brother.

Geng Wu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, looking at Xiao Yunyou who was walking away in confusion.

Something seems to be wrong.

He turned his head to look at the palace, and the joy that was previously filled in his heart was gone, leaving only uneasiness.

Geng Wu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he could only bite the bullet and walk into the palace.
