After leaving his mother Xue Chuo, the young emperor Xiao Yu seemed to be free and became a completely different person.
Sitting in the carriage with Zhao Hao, his expression of surprise was beyond words.
The little mouth kept talking, as if the shackles that had been on her body for a long time had been removed.
Zhao Hao just looked at him, and then suddenly began to feel a little regretful.
Some things, just like that, are easy to say yes to.
But then, there will probably be some headaches.
This is a hot potato.
But what else can I do? My mother has even given her body to me.
The journey was relatively smooth, and after a few days, the convoy returned to Luzhou.
Zhao Hao immediately sent someone to send the little emperor Xiao Yu to the island and handed him over to Yongning and his aunt Jiang Yiren.
He also wanted to go back, as he hadn't seen Yongning and his aunt for a long time.
Unfortunately, I still have too many things to arrange.
I can only give up.
…
Soon, after defeating Huang Man’s defense in Wushan, Xiao Chuyun led his troops directly to the Yue Kingdom’s imperial capital and stationed in the imperial capital.
Zhao Hao sent out 10,000 troops, but in the end only 6,000 or less than 7,000 were left and they retreated south of the Chu River.
As for the Huangman, there were 25,000 remaining people. They evacuated from Wushan and did not return to Lingzhou, but retreated directly to the grassland.
As for the Savage King's Court in Lingzhou, it has already begun preparations for the final evacuation.
Half a month later.
Xiao Chuyun led the army and swept through all the prefectures north of Chushui River, taking back all the territories.
The Savage King's Court naturally withdrew from Lingzhou immediately and entered the grassland.
Next, it is estimated that they will cross the Chushui River and sweep the entire area south of the Chushui River.
At this moment, Zhao Hao received a letter sent by Xiao Chuyun.
After unfolding the letter and reading it, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the letter, Xiao Chuyun advised Zhao Hao to return to Dagan with him.
As for future safety issues, they are all on his shoulders.
No matter what, he will ensure Zhao Hao's safety.
Finally, Xiao Chuyun mentioned that he absolutely did not want to see the scene of brothers fighting on the battlefield.
I hope he can think it through.
After reading the letter, Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
This elder brother of mine really doesn't understand Jiang Wan'er enough.
Did he think that with his status and the military power in his hands, he could protect himself?
I'm really overthinking it.
Once he really agreed to go back, perhaps in the short term, because of his presence, Jiang Wan'er would not touch him.
But, I will definitely control myself.
Once all the countries are destroyed, Jiang Wan'er will definitely take back the military power from her eldest brother.
At that time, my eldest brother will definitely face the situation of "the birds are all gone and the good bows are hidden".
By then, Jiang Wan'er would definitely not keep me anymore.
And if the eldest brother wants to protect himself again, I'm afraid both his brothers will be killed.
Anyway, the countries have been destroyed.
Zhao Hao had no doubt that Jiang Wan'er, that woman, was capable of doing such a thing.
She was a woman who only cared about power and had no feelings.
After reading the letter, Zhao Hao also wrote a letter back to Xiao Chuyun.
The letter only mentioned that Xiao Chuyun was injured and then recovered.
Apart from this, he didn't say anything else, which also expressed his meaning.
Soon, Xiao Chuyun crossed the Chushui River and arrived at the area south of the Chushui River.
He led a total of 50,000 troops.
Zhao Hao was not at all surprised by this situation.
If Xiao Chuyun were asked to choose between himself and Jiang Wan'er.
Whether from a public perspective or from a private perspective, Xiao Chuyun would do this.
Facing Dagan's 50,000-strong army, Zhao Hao did not put up any resistance.
He immediately withdrew all his manpower and troops to Luzhou.
The 50,000 troops led by Xiao Chuyun also arrived in Luzhou very quickly.
Zhao Hao personally reined in his horse and stepped forward to meet the other party in front of the formation.
Seeing Zhao Hao walk out of the formation, Xiao Chuyun also quickly rode out on horseback.
The two men got off their horses in front of the battle and walked to a place.
Then, hug each other tightly.
Zhao Hao took off the wine flask from his waist, handed it to Xiao Chuyun opposite him, and said, "Brother, congratulations on your recovery!"
Xiao Chuyun reached out to take the wine jug, an ugly smile appearing on his face.
Without saying anything, he opened the jug, tilted his head back and took a few gulps of the liquor.
Then, he handed the wine jug back to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao took it and also gulped down a few big mouthfuls with his head tilted back.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chuyun said, "I didn't expect that so many things would happen while I was unconscious for such a long time."
"Brother Hao, is there really no room for maneuver?"
"As long as you nod, I will definitely protect you from any harm in front of His Majesty."
"I thought that with the military power in my hands, even if His Majesty wanted to kill you, it would be impossible!"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Brother, I know what you mean."
"But if I agree, not only will I lose my life and the lives of my whole family, but I will also end up harming your life and the lives of your entire family."
"So, no matter what, there's no way I'm going to turn back!"
Hearing him say this, Xiao Chuyun shook his head and said, "Brother Hao, if you believe in me, I can definitely protect you and your family."
"Besides, no matter what, you are the prince consort, and your son is also considered a royal family member."
"Your Majesty will not do anything to you seriously!"
Zhao Hao didn't want to continue this topic, so he said, "Brother, we brothers finally get to meet each other, so let's not talk about this."
"I won't make things difficult for you, brother."
"Next, I will lead my men to retreat to the sea. Big brother, you just need to take over Luzhou City."
The reason why Zhao Hao made this preparation so early was actually because he predicted that such a day would inevitably come.
He absolutely did not want to fight his elder brother for his life on the battlefield.
Of course, what I don’t want to do even more is to make such a meaningless sacrifice.
As long as he has enough time, he can turn the situation around and win at any time.
Looking at Zhao Hao, Xiao Chuyun felt bitter in his heart and took a deep breath again.
"Brother Hao, after this separation, we don't know when we will meet again."
"I hope that everything is going well for you."
Zhao Hao nodded and said solemnly: "Brother, I also hope that you are well!"
The two men drank the last drop of wine in the jug, said goodbye to each other reluctantly, and returned to their own camps.
As soon as Xiao Chuyun came back, one of his officers came up to him and asked anxiously, "General, are we going to prepare for the charge immediately?"
"The enemy's formation will definitely not be able to withstand a charge from us!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun's face changed, and he immediately shouted in a serious tone: "Fight for nothing, let the brothers rest and prepare to take over Luzhou Prefecture City!"
