The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1656

[Chapter 1656 Victory]

In July, the sun is like fire.

The unicorn beast copper basin placed in the four corners of the imperial study room is wafting upwards of white smoke.

Shan Lianggong walked in from the outside and handed the book to Yuxi: “Niangniang, the battle report of Tongcheng.”

During this time, the battle report basically reported how many attacks the enemy had repelled and the number of casualties. Every time he read the battle report, Oak-hee was in a bad mood. This time, it was no exception.

Putting down the battle report, Yuxi said to Qi Hao, who was looking at her, “Tongcheng has suffered more than 30,000 casualties in the past few days.” So far, more than 200,000 people have been killed in the battle, and the number is still increasing.

Qi Hao had expected this battle to be difficult, but he didn’t expect it to be so tragic: “Mother, we have killed so many people, and they must be the same.”

With a sigh of relief, Yuxi said, “I just hope that they can be repelled as soon as possible.” These Donghu people are so fierce, it is a huge hidden danger for them.

Qi Hao nodded.

That afternoon, Oak-hee received a note from the Jiangxi governor asking for money to control the silt in the river.

Oak Xi put down the book and said, “You need money everywhere, but if you have that much money, it’s not enough.” He got the money at the beginning of the year, and he has spent most of it by now.

However, managing the river is the most important thing and should not be delayed. Not to mention that the treasury still has some money; even if there is no money, Oak-hee has to find a way to get money for them.

During dinner, Brother Xuan asked in a puzzled way when talking about the war in Tongcheng: “Mother, brother, why are the Donghu people attacking the city on such a hot day? They are not afraid of heat stroke.”

On such a hot day, he had to put ice cubes in the house for errands. This is still wearing heavy armor to climb the city, he really finds it unimaginable.

Yuxi glanced at Brother Xuan, then turned to ask Lianzi to add food to her.

Qi Hao was more patient: “In Tongcheng, it’s not as hot here.” True to Brother You’s words, Qi Xuan was stupid when he read. It seems that he will still be allowed to serve in the Qingshui Yamen in the future, but he will not dare to entrust him with important responsibilities.

Seeing that Yuxi didn’t look very good, Brother Xuan didn’t dare to speak any more.

The war in Tongcheng at this time has reached a fever pitch.

Yun Qing summoned Tie Kui and asked, “How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?”

“Less than 200,000.” They had so many casualties, and the other party’s casualties were only a lot more than theirs.

Since Yan Wushuang returned to the imperial court, this strategic material has been continuously delivered to Tongcheng. Whether it is military salaries, food and grass, or weapons and equipment, a lot of them are prepared. Therefore, the leader of the Donghu people said that Tongcheng’s grain was piled up like a mountain, and it was not false.

Yun Qing put his hand on the table and fell into contemplation.

On the city wall, buckets of scalding hot water poured down, and the scalded Donghu people rolled down from the climbing ladder, and those who were not scalded continued to attack the city.

The boiling water was gone, and another log rolled down from the city wall, killing and injuring countless people.

After Qiu Dashan came down from the city wall, after changing his clothes, he went to look for Yun Qing: “Your Majesty, are the crossbows and arrows not enough?”

Yun Qing didn’t answer this, but said: “After fighting for half a month, we have already killed more than 200,000 horses, and we can’t be passive like this any longer.”

Qiu Dashan was stunned, but he soon understood what Yun Qing meant. This means that they are going to take the initiative to attack.

The Donghu people now only have more than 100,000 horses left, and they still have nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses. In terms of numbers, they completely crushed the opponent. Of course, it was also because the Donghu people had been at war with them for more than a month, and their physical strength and morale were not as good as before. Otherwise, Yunqing would not want to take the initiative to attack.

Without even thinking about it, Qiu Dashan knelt down and asked to fight. In the past, they fought against the Donghu people. When the battle situation deteriorated, they would organize manpower to rush into the opponent’s army to fight in order to delay the time and boost morale. Of course, these people are all gone.

“Don’t worry.” To make all the soldiers of the Donghu people think that Tongcheng is already at the end of the game, and when they think they will win, they will give Thunder another blow. Give people hope, and then give people despair. Yun Qing believed that the morale of the Donghu people would collapse by then.

Six days later, while Yu Xi was reviewing the book, he heard a deafening sound: “Good news, the Donghu people have retreated. Good news, the Donghu people have withdrawn.”

When Qi Hao, who was sitting in the lower left hand, heard this, he immediately dropped the jade pen in his hand and stood up. He happily said to Yu Xi, “Mother, the Donghu people have retreated.”

Yuxi said lightly, “Although the number of casualties has not yet been counted, it should be no less than 300,000.” Although the war is over, there are still many things to be dealt with in the future. It’s all about complicated things, the key is that the expenses are staggering. Thinking of this, Oak-hee couldn’t be happier.

When Qi Hao heard this, the smile on his face disappeared. Not to mention the huge number of casualties now, but to say that this year’s war is over, but what about next year? If the Donghu people are not eliminated, Tongcheng will not be peaceful, and their country will be unstable.

Thinking of this, Qi Hao and Yu Xi said: “Mother, one day I will step down the old nest of the Donghu people.”

A smile appeared on Yuxi’s face: “Mother believes in you.” As long as Qihao was given time, he would definitely be able to do it.

After calming down, Qi Hao asked a little strangely: “Mother, yesterday I received the battle report and said that the battle ahead was worsening. How come the situation has taken a turn for the worse in just two days.” That’s why he lost his temper today.

“That’s just an illusion created by your father on purpose, to make the Donghu people think that we have insufficient successors.” After saying this, Yu Xi let out a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, after this battle, the Donghu people will not be able to start again within five years. There is a large-scale war. These five years will allow us to develop agriculture and the economy in a stable manner.”

It was also a coincidence that Zaozao arrived in the capital on this day. Zaozao was overjoyed when he got this news: “Finally, those barbarians have been repelled.” These Donghu barbarians are really too difficult to deal with.

Zaozao has never encountered such a hard stubble during the war for so many years. Unfortunately, he was injured halfway and could not fight to the end.

Yin Zhaofeng hummed and asked, “Princess, do you want to go to the palace first or go back to the princess’ mansion first?”

“Go to the palace.” Jinyu and Changsheng were not in the capital, and she couldn’t see anyone when she returned to the princess’ mansion.

Zaozao saw Yuxi, and the first sentence was: “Mother, why have you lost so much weight?” She lost a lot of weight than before she went to Tongcheng.

Oak-hee has indeed lost weight, and the clothes she made at the beginning of the year are now too big. Looking at the gauze on Zao Zao’s arm, Oak Hee said, “I’m fine with it. How about you, is your wound healed?”

“It’s already scarred. If you want to heal, it will take a while. Mother, I want to borrow Aunt Tong from you. It won’t take long, it will be done in three or five months.” .

“Tong Fang has been sent by me to take care of Liu’er in Haocheng, and it may take two months to come back.” Seeing Zaozao’s puzzled face, Yuxi smiled and said, “Liu’er is pregnant, and the fetal gas has fluctuated because of the long journey. Now, she is raising a baby in Haocheng.”

Zaozao couldn’t help frowning and said, “Why do you still go to Haocheng when you are pregnant? This is too much to take your body seriously.”

“I didn’t know when I went there, but fortunately, both adults and children are fine. Liu Er wrote back and said that she will come back with Feng Zhixi when the baby is stable.” None of the children were relieved.

“It’s also a coincidence.”

Yuxi glanced at Zaozao and said, “Changsheng is already three years old, you should also buy him a younger brother and sister.” One child is too few, at least two.

Hearing this, Zao Zao said with a bitter face: “Mother, Imperial Physician Hu said that I have hurt my vitality this time and should take good care of it. If not, I’m afraid I won’t be able to add younger brothers and sisters to Changsheng in the future.”

About this, Yun Qing wrote to Yuxi early: “As long as you follow the doctor’s advice and take the medicine well, you can recover at most in half a year.”

Zaozao’s face sank at the thought of drinking that bitter medicine every day.

Yuxi smiled and said, “I haven’t seen Changsheng for two months. You will go to Admiral Zhuangzi to pick him up later.” After two months of absence, Yuxi also missed his grandson.

Speaking of Changsheng, Zaozao naturally thinks of the bad things of the Wu family: “Mother, although it is said that Ji Yiniang and Wu Jinbo are the masterminds behind the brothel girl’s crawling of the bed. But if she doesn’t have this thought, this brothel girl will be behind the scenes. How can I get to the main courtyard?” Zao Zao didn’t believe that Fang’s family was clean.

Therefore, Wu Jinyu said in the letter that she would take Mrs. Fang to the Princess Mansion for retirement, she felt repulsive in her heart.

Yuxi said, “Wu Jinbao has obtained 70% of the Wu family’s property, so naturally he should give Wu Kuo and Fang’s old-age care.” The eldest son inherited the family business, not only to revitalize the lintel, but also to provide for the elderly.

Hearing this, Zaozao showed contempt: “I hope Wu Jinbao will not fall back on us in the end.”

“Zaozao, that’s Wu Jinbao’s responsibility and obligation. Unless Wu Jinbao says he doesn’t want to support Fang’s family, then you agree to Fang’s retirement in the Princess Mansion.” After a pause, Yuxi said, “You think of Jinyu’s thoughts. , this is very good, but everything has to be measured.” You can’t make yourself unhappy just because you care about Wu Jinyu.

Zao Zao looked relieved when he heard this, and said, “Mother, I know what to do.”

This evening, Yuxi got bad news, and Cui Mo died for the country.

A thin piece of paper, as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Qi Hao saw Yu Xi’s expression was wrong and asked, “Mother, what happened?”

Yuxi’s voice was lowered: “Cui Mo died in battle.”

Huo Changqing recruited 20 people that day and trained them to become Yunqing’s right-hand man. Over the years, there are only four of the more than twenty people left. Yun Qing took Feng Dajun and Cui Mo very seriously. Now that Cui Mo died for the country, Yun Qing must be very uncomfortable.

“What? Uncle Cui died in battle?” Feng Dajun and Cui Mo gave Qi Hao a very good impression. In his heart, he also respected the two of them as elders.

Yuxi sighed and said to Qihao, “You go to the Cui family now and tell the people of the Cui family the news.” For this matter, it is most appropriate for Qihao to go.
