After everyone took their seats, Zhao Hao looked at the two women and the children in their arms, feeling indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
The reason why he fought for his life on the battlefield was to protect his own family.
If Dagan were destroyed and annexed by the four nations, his small family would no longer exist.
This is what the country means to the family.
Small families make up a country, and the country protects small families one after another.
He is a duke and his wife is a princess, but it is still like this.
For the people of this country, if this country is destroyed, how can their families survive?
Zhao Hao ate heartily. While eating, he asked, "Have you sent someone to tell my family that I'm back?"
Yongning nodded: "We have already sent someone there. It's still early. Now that you have finished eating, let's go back together."
Zhao Hao said: "No, I need to take a nap first, mother should come by herself."
Yongning said, "How can you be a son like this? You finally came back, but you didn't take the initiative to go back to see your parents. Instead, you asked your parents to come and see you."
Zhao Hao said vaguely: "It's okay. Mother has gotten used to it after so many years."
"If I suddenly become too filial, she'll think something terrible has happened!"
Hearing him say this, the two women couldn't help laughing.
After dinner, Zhao Hao played with little Zhen'er for a while, talked with Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren for a while, and then felt tired and went to his room to sleep.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep since leaving Dijing.
It was still okay when he was in Luoye City, but when he went to the south bank of Chushui River, his nerves were always tense.
Later, Tucheng was broken and he changed his route to Qinzhou. He was so busy every day that he didn't even have time to close his eyes.
After finishing his work, he rushed back to the capital day and night.
Now, the situation has finally stabilized, and I'm back home, and I can finally have a good sleep.
Not long after Zhao Hao fell asleep, his mother Qin Shuyun hurried over.
Qin Shuyun heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Zhao Hao had fallen asleep. It proved that it was not a serious matter and she finally felt at ease.
Back on the north bank of the Chushui River, when Xie Daoxun led more than 10,000 remaining soldiers back, his mood fell to the bottom.
The Tongshan City line was defended extremely tightly by Xiao Chuyun, and no one could get through.
It was difficult for the Wu army to break through from the front.
It was originally thought that she could lead the Southern Chu army to attack Tongshan from both sides from behind and capture it in one fell swoop.
However, she didn't expect that Zhao Hao, with more than 20,000 miner soldiers, blocked her for three whole days in Qinzhou.
The battle was delayed until the arrival of the Dagan reinforcements.
Until now, she still feels incredible.
She already attached great importance to Zhao Hao, but she didn't expect that it was far from enough.
Zhao Hao is a man who can create miracles.
After leading more than 10,000 troops to join the army on the north bank of the Chu River, the generals of Southern Chu were shocked to learn of the great defeat.
And immediately, he had the idea of retreating.
Because Gan’s army had already left Xinzhou and rushed to the north bank of Chushui River.
There were more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, while the Xinzhou soldiers and horses, plus the more than 10,000 soldiers sent by Xiao Ye, were less than 40,000.
As long as we try our best, we can still fight.
However, some generals in Southern Chu wanted to withdraw their troops.
This was strongly opposed by Xie Daoxun!
Inside the crown prince’s central military tent.
Xie Daoxun stood in the middle, his cold eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one.
Immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Generals, our army still has the upper hand."
"As long as we defeat the enemy in front of us, we can go straight to the Dagan Imperial Capital."
"When that time comes, great things will be accomplished, and you will all be remembered in history!"
"Why are you afraid to move forward at this time? Why are you giving up such a great opportunity to achieve great things?"
One of the generals said, "Sir Prime Minister, it's not that we don't want to, but you, Sir Prime Minister, have personally experienced the fighting power of the Dagan Army!"
"We only have over 60,000 troops, while Da Gan has 40,000 troops. Moreover, they are defending their country, so they will definitely fight ten to one."
"In this way, our army's advantage is no longer an advantage."
"How can we destroy the other party?"
Xie Daoxun took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then I and the other generals will write a memorial and present it to Your Majesty."
"Whether to advance or retreat, leave it to your majesty to judge!"
Having said that, he immediately walked over, took out a memorial and started writing on it.
After a while, the writing was completed and handed to everyone to see. Everyone signed their names on it.
Then, he quickly ordered someone to send the memorial to the imperial capital of Southern Chu.
As a result, the armies of Nanchu and Dagan formed a confrontation on the north bank of the Chu River.
No one took the initiative to attack.
Because no one is sure of winning.
That night, Xie Daoxun stood alone outside the central military tent.
A black figure quickly appeared behind her.
"Mr. Prime Minister, our army has repeatedly attacked the Tongshan front, which is extremely difficult. Xiao Chuyun relies on thunder bombs to defend the city and does not give us any chance at all!"
"On the Shu side, after the defeat in Luoye City, the Shu Queen said that there were no more soldiers left to fight, and now it's up to us three kingdoms!"
Hearing this, Xie Daoxun slowly raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and let out a long sigh.
It would be a lie for the Kingdom of Shu to say that it had no troops to send.
I just don't want to put all my effort into continuing the fight.
The Shu Kingdom still has at least 100,000 troops.
