Yuwen Heng is now a stray dog.
The great defeat at the riverside not only caused the loss of half of his troops, but more importantly, it made him lose the opportunity to occupy the Southern Dynasty.
He had exposed his ambition, causing the fear of the Grand Chancellor and even his own father.
He wanted to retreat to the north, but it was no longer possible.
I have to say that Jiang Chi was really ruthless. On the surface, he was giving advice to Yuwen Heng, but in fact, he was trying to flatter him to death.
He dug a hole and Yuwen Heng jumped in willingly.
Now he is in a dilemma and has nowhere to go.
Fortunately, Yuwen Heng is not a man who gives up easily. Since he can't go back to his hometown, he will find another battlefield.
He took the remaining troops and headed northwest.
After repelling the foreign tribes entrenched in the northwest, they gained a temporary respite.
Yuwen Heng has very complicated feelings towards Gu Youyi, his former "good wife".
He could feel Gu Youyi's affection for him and her full support, but he could also see her stupidity.
It's not about hiding one's shortcomings or making fun of oneself, but it's just that one is really stupid and naive.
The key point is that his good wife likes to be smart.
From the day the Gu family suddenly disappeared and completely fled the Northern Dynasty, Yuwen Heng saw his wife's true face.
However, at that time, although Gu Youyi had lost the support of her family and was still so stupid, she knew some "secrets".
She seems to have the power of foresight, always knowing things in advance and some people who are destined to rise.
Yuwen Heng needs Gu Youyi's "prophetic" role.
Therefore, Yuwen Heng did not abandon Gu Youyi. When attacking Jiangling, he complied with her strong request and brought her with him.
Gu Youyi used the prophet to let Yuwen Heng know how powerful Jiang Chi was.
Yuwen Heng also successfully recruited Jiang Chi into his team.
pity--
In the battle on the river, Yuwen Heng suffered a crushing defeat.
He had to lead the remaining troops and flee.
When escaping, Yuwen Heng didn't care about his wife at all.
Afterwards, when he thought about it, Yuwen Heng did not feel any guilt or regret.
He didn't feel guilty because abandoning his wife didn't count as harming her.
After all, the commander on the other side is my wife's cousin.
They are all daughters of the Gu family, and Gu Qing is very smart and will never take Gu Youyi's life.
Yuwen Heng even felt that he was giving his wife a chance to make a new choice:
Yuwen Heng was defeated and fled. It was difficult for him to protect himself. The so-called wealth and glory could not be achieved for the time being.
However, the Gu family was rising strongly. At that time, Yuwen Heng felt that Gu Qing had the strength to seize Jiankang and dominate the Southern Dynasty.
As long as Gu Youyi returns to the Gu family, she can become a noble lady of the Gu family again.
She can completely rely on the Gu family and find another good husband.
It's better than hiding with him and not seeing the future in the short term.
Yuwen Heng felt that he still had feelings for his wife and had not let her down for her previous help.
Therefore, he does not feel guilty, nor does he blame himself.
Besides, he wouldn't regret it.
Gu Youyi is just an idiot, and now even her ability to predict the future is useless.
From now on, she will be useless trash to him.
Taking advantage of the "last resort" to escape, he threw the person to Gu Qing. Not only did he not dirty his hands, but he also got a good reputation of being a tragic figure. It was the best of both worlds!
However, Yuwen Heng still overestimated Gu Youyi's IQ.
In other words, he underestimated Gu Youyi's persistence in being the "mother of the country".
She clearly had the opportunity to return to the Gu family, but she gave it up.
God knows how shocked Yuwen Heng was when he saw Gu Youyi, who had come all the way to him and was in a mess, in the temporary camp while he was escaping.
He really wanted to pry open Gu Youyi's head and see what kind of slop was inside.
Yuwen Heng simply couldn't imagine how a person could be so stupid?
What?
You said that Gu Youyi was not stupid, she was just too deeply in love with him and was unwilling to give up him as her original husband?
Want to share the hardships with me?
Yuwen Heng just laughed.
He is not stupid, nor is he blind. How could he not see the wishful thinking that Gu Youyi tried so hard to hide?
What she valued was never her husband, but the wealth and glory that Yuwen Heng could bring her.
Although I don't know why Gu Youyi is so persistent, it seems that she believes that he can become a great leader.
However, Yuwen Heng was very sure that Gu Youyi did not love him at all. She loved his identity and his future.
Such a stupid and almost useless wife is like a piece of taffy, sticking to him tightly and he can't get rid of her.
If Yuwen Heng didn't want to make another enemy like the Gu family, at least for now, he would have killed Gu Youyi.
"...Forget it, just take it with you for now."
"No matter what, she is my first wife."
"I was defeated and fled, hiding in a northwestern border town, but she still chased me regardless of everything. This shows how deep our love and loyalty are."
"Now is the time to win over the people and stabilize the military's morale. I cannot bear the crime of murdering my first wife."
"And Gu Qing... this woman is so terrifying. She actually created 'Sky Thunder'!"
After the war, Yuwen Heng seemed to suffer from PTSD.
At least when Gu Qing was mentioned, Yuwen Heng would subconsciously think of the heavy bombing and flying blood and flesh on the river.
It's so scary.
Yuwen Heng had every reason to suspect that this woman, Gu Qing, must have more tricks up her sleeve.
