Chapter 455: Announcement of withdrawal
"No, no, we have eaten so much. We are already very full. I have never eaten such delicious food. I accidentally ate too much." Mrs. Liu said with some embarrassment. Originally, She also thought about eating less and not taking advantage of others, but she didn't know that the food was so delicious that she ended up eating too much.
Nariko and Huzi were also a little embarrassed. They were not ignorant children. As their mother said, the food was so delicious that they couldn't help it. They lowered their heads and rubbed their stomachs subconsciously.
Su Wenyue saw that Mr. Liu and the two children were indeed full, so she didn't say anything more to avoid making them more embarrassed. Old man Liu probably had drunk wine, so he let it go, and he was having an affair with Mr. Su while eating. While talking, I didn't realize that such an old man was actually quite knowledgeable and even knew some things about the court.
Originally, we only planned to stay at Liu's house for one night. Unexpectedly, the rain kept falling. Not only did it not stop, it got stronger and stronger. The road outside became muddy, making it even harder to travel. Su Wenyue and his party had to temporarily stay at Liu's house. Coming down, fortunately we have walked so far, and we are already quite far away from Yiyang Mansion. It doesn't hurt to stop and rest for a day or two.
This made the little ones get acquainted with each other. Su Wenyue felt that the children of poor people had already taken charge of the family, and wanted the children to learn more from Liu Cheng. Old man Liu and Mrs. Liu even felt that Su Wenyue’s children were well-educated. Well, I am happy to let my children get along with others more. They are all sensible children, and they know how to be humble when playing. Coupled with the children's nature, the friendship is already very good in just one day.
"Mother, mother, Sister Yu has something to discuss with you." Sister Yu, who was just playing outside, suddenly ran into the house.
Su Wenyue looked at her daughter tenderly: "Sister Yu, please tell me slowly if you have anything to do. Don't be in a hurry. Mom is here to listen."
"Mom, do you still have the pastries you asked Aunt Shuqin to make? Brother Acheng and Brother Huzi said that they have never eaten pastries and don't know what they taste like. The pastries made by Aunt Shuqin are delicious. I Can you give them some to eat?" Sister Yu expressed her meaning very fluently.
Naturally, Su Wenyue would not refuse such a small request from her daughter. Not to mention that there were still ready-made pastries, but even if they were not available, she would make them for her daughter.
"Don't worry, I asked your Aunt Shuqin to make a lot of pastries. You can take some of each and give them to your brother Acheng and brother Huzi. Also, don't bully your brother Acheng and Huzi because of their status. Brother, since you are now friends, friends should treat each other with sincerity and not change because of your identity or other things, so that you can become true friends. "
"Yes, mother, you have said it many times, I have remembered it." Siyu said and hugged Su Wenyue's arm coquettishly. Seeing that Shuxiang helped her pack the cakes, she was happy. He ran and jumped out.
After several days of fierce fighting, the war in Yiyang Mansion has initially achieved results. Although the imperial army has a large number of people, it did not arrive for a long time. In addition, the leader of the army is Lu Yong, who is not good at war. The fight just started. At first they had the upper hand, but later they gradually began to show their disadvantages. In the last major confrontation, Han Yu fell into the trap set by Han Yu. They were defeated almost immediately and had to announce their withdrawal.
After this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. Although Han Yu was good at using military tactics, the opponent's army was several times larger than theirs. This was an irreversible disadvantage. He was able to defend Yiyang and even won the war. The victory was already rare. The casualties were nearly one-third of the soldiers, but morale was at an all-time high.
The losses on the side of the imperial court were even more severe. According to statistics, more than half of the casualties were suffered. However, they already had a large number of people. Even if they suffered more than half of the casualties, they were still more troops than Liu Xiu. Plus, they suffered several defeats. , morale seemed very low, and there was an obvious contrast between the two sides.
"General Han, we really won, really won, and defeated the imperial army!" One of Liu Xiu's staff said happily, but he only stopped dancing to express his happiness.
Han Yu was not too satisfied with this battle, and said with some regret: "Zhao Fan's reaction was quite smart, and we almost captured him. It's a pity. If we had captured Zhao Fan, we would have The real victory is the battle! The imperial army no longer has a general, so we must send another general to give us time to recuperate and replenish our combat strength. Moreover, the imperial court is now in chaos. Can we win this battle? It's not certain that we will go down, and our crisis will be over. Now if he escapes, many more things will happen, and the battle will have to continue. "
"General Han, this is already very good. You have to come up with such a clever strategy to make Zhao Fan fall into the trap without knowing it, so that this battle can be won. Before this, I didn't dare to I believe that this war will be victorious. I hope the general can forgive me for what I said before. I underestimated the general’s talent. My lord, he will have nothing to worry about if he has the general here!”
This staff member was one of the people who had previously opposed Han Yu's opinions and wanted to persuade Liu Xiu to retreat. At this time, his face showed the joy of victory in the war, and also the shame of his previous actions, but in the end he was an open-minded person and knew that he was wrong. Dare to admit that a few others couldn't do this, and some even had a dark look on their faces after being happy.
Han Yu remembered the expressions and performances of these people in his heart. People who showed their expressions on their faces were not to be feared. What Han Yu was most afraid of and worried about was the thief who was buried deep inside.
On the other side, Zhao Fan fled back with his remaining subordinates in a panic.
"General, are you okay?" Zhang Meng asked with some fear.
Zhao Fan shook his head. Although the scene just now was very thrilling, as a military general, it was common to charge into battle on the battlefield. He had experienced more than one or two dangerous things, so he was not scared. He shook his head and tore off a piece of cloth from his casual robe and tied it to the wound on his arm: "It's okay, just a small injury, just a little bleeding."
"General, I'm glad you're okay, I was really scared to death just now! That General Han was too brave. Not only was he a master at using troops, but he was also very skilled. He almost killed you. Fortunately, he missed you by a little bit. Otherwise, if something happened to you, we would lose our generals, and that would be a big deal. "
A young general who followed Zhao Fan and Deputy General Zhang patted his chest and said with some fear. Zhao Fan didn't feel so embarrassed at first, but just a little scared. After hearing what the young general said, his face suddenly darkened.
