Han Jinghua froze upon hearing this, raising her head in disbelief: "What did you say? What did you just say?"
Mengze, Han Mengze? Isn't that her third brother's son?
The aunt just said that the Empress saved her younger brother and sister-in-law, and Han Luoxue also has a younger brother and a younger sister.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you? I've only heard the name, I'm not really sure!"
The aunt was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Han Jinghua was so agitated.
"You said that child's name is Han Mengze? And the little girl's name is Han Luoyu?"
The aunt frowned: "It sounds familiar, maybe, but I'm not really sure!"
Han Jinghua was completely stunned. It was impossible! It couldn't be such a coincidence! No matter how powerful Han Luoxue was, she couldn't possibly have married the Emperor and become the current Empress.
She remembered clearly that Han Luoxue married a hunter from the next village, a man who was lame and had a terrible scar on his face.
Could it be that Han Luoxue dumped that man and remarried the Emperor? But how could that be? How could the current Emperor possibly want a woman who has already been married? No matter how beautiful she is, it's impossible.
There are plenty of women in the capital waiting for the Emperor to marry them; absolutely not!
But what she was even more uncertain about was that she had a feeling that what her aunt had said was true, and that the children who were rescued were Han Luoyu and Han Mengze!
Han Jinghua had mixed feelings. In fact, she had already regretted coming to Xishu. If she had known this would happen, she would never have gone against Han Luoxue. Thinking about her current situation and then thinking about Han Lenghua.
Although Han Lenghua was also Han Luoxue's aunt, she hadn't done anything to Han Luoxue, yet the treatment she received was completely different.
"You don't actually know the current Empress, do you?"
Hearing everyone's questions, Han Jinghua hurriedly shook her head: "How could that be?"
No, she couldn't admit it... Han Luoxue was a ruthless person who didn't care about family or friends. If it really was her, who knew what that woman would do to her?
However, she should be careful in the future to avoid being recognized by Han Luoxue.
Her life had finally become a little more stable, and she didn't want to keep running around.
If her man knew that she had offended Han Luoxue, he might abandon her without hesitation!
Without a man to take care of her here, a woman's only option is to die.
"I feel the same way. How could you possibly know the esteemed Empress?"
The aunt sneered. For people as lowly as them to be able to see the Empress was already an immense blessing.
"Everyone, please be careful. There's no need to help here. Go back and quickly boil water; the Emperor will be here soon!"
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. They hadn't expected to reunite so quickly. As long as the Emperor was here, they had nothing to fear...
Meanwhile, outside, Ouyang Zhen led his men back to Xishu. They changed into warhorses and brought countless weapons from the Western Yao Kingdom. Using the prisoners to clear the way, they caught the enemy off guard.
There weren't many casualties here, but quite a few prisoners died.
General Xu truly didn't care about this. Even the emperor of their Western Yao Kingdom didn't care about the lives of these people, let alone himself.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the general in charge of the troops led the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 men and fled.
Han Luoxue's space has become much larger, with countless weapons and warhorses!
Upon returning to the border and seeing the corpses scattered everywhere, she felt deeply saddened.
These people have the enemy's army, but they also have many of their own people.
"Xue'er, these are all normal sacrifices!" Ouyang Zhen looked at the mess on the ground. She knew that this was the first time Han Luoxue had encountered such a situation, so it was understandable that she felt sad.
Han Luoxue smiled slightly: "I'm not in pain, I just feel..."
She paused for a moment, then thought for a moment: "Why do you think we need to fight? Like the Western Yao Kingdom, why do they challenge us time and time again?"
She felt that the emperor over there was out of his mind. He was clearly no match for them, yet he kept provoking them. If he could actually win, that would be fine too!
Look at these dead people; most of them were their soldiers.
Han Luoxue wasn't acting out of a saintly heart; she just felt sorry for those soldiers.
"Brother Chen!"
Han Luoxue suddenly turned her head, staring intently at Ouyang Zhen: "If, I mean if..."
There were some things she felt were difficult to say. She wasn't someone who liked war, but she also didn't want to be bullied by others.
"Xue'er, just say what you want to say!" Ouyang Zhen said gently. There weren't many people he cared about in his life, but Han Luoxue was definitely number one.
"Brother Chen, look how many people they lost this time. How many guards do you think are left at the Western Yao Kingdom's palace?"
Ouyang Zhen frowned, seemingly understanding Han Luoxue's meaning: "Xue'er, what do you mean?"
"They're not behaving themselves! Let's just beat them into submission!"
Han Luoxue has plenty of food and meat in her space, and the army here hasn't suffered many losses. Let everyone rest well, eat and drink their fill, and then increase the rewards. She believes that winning the battle won't be a problem!
What is most important in military campaigns?
"I think it's feasible!"
After a moment's thought, Ouyang Zhen's eyes lit up: "If we take them down, this place will be completely peaceful!"
Han Luoxue nodded: "The most important thing in military campaigns is morale. We just won a battle. They did lose nearly 200,000 troops, and even their crown prince is in our hands. So morale is not a problem at all."
Ouyang Zhen nodded. General Xu, who had just arrived to report on the battle situation, also fell silent. As a great general, what he wanted to see most was peace, not war!
"The second thing is supplies. Brother Chen, you know I have plenty of supplies, and we also have a lot of warhorses. So I think we can definitely press our advantage!"
"Your Majesty the Empress is right, and I agree!" General Xu hurriedly chimed in.
He had heard everything Han Luoxue said. Since they had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support, why not completely eliminate the Western Yao Kingdom?
Ouyang Zhen nodded: "Let's get together in a bit!"
Even if she and General Xu think it's acceptable, they still need to discuss it.
Seeing that they both agreed, Han Luoxue hurriedly checked her spatial storage, but unfortunately, her spatial shop didn't have any highly lethal weapons, otherwise...
Well, actually her space is already pretty good!
...
Han Jinghua was listless and absent-minded in everything she did.
An older woman nudged her arm: "Jinghua, what's wrong with you today? Are you worried about your husband? Don't worry, he'll usually be fine!"
The aunt's eyes were red as she spoke. Although she was trying to comfort her, she was also very worried. Her husband hadn't come back yet and would probably stay for a while longer.
