Chapter 782 Young General vs. Rich Lady 85
Tuolu retreated in panic and ordered his troops to retreat twenty kilometers away.
No one in the Beirong army had any objection, as this was what Master Xuan Jiu suggested before he set out. The Beirong generals had originally intended to retreat, but it was Tuolu who insisted on confronting Huo Xiao. Now the Beirong were united and retreated very cleanly.
Huo Xiao chased for a few miles out of the city, symbolically bombed a few waves, and did not fight with the Beirong for too long, so he withdrew his troops and returned to the city.
As the art of war says, if you have ten of them, surround them; if you have five of them, attack them; if you have twice as many of them, divide them; if you are the enemy, you can fight them; if they are fewer than you, you can escape; if you are not as good as them, you can avoid them.
The number of people in the Huo family army is really too small. After fighting these few battles, they are exhausted and are holding on on one breath. They need to rest well.
If you really rush into the main force of the enemy, even if you have powerful weapons, you will not be able to completely wipe out the enemy. Instead, you will be surrounded by the enemy. After all, defending a city is different from attacking.
Huo Xiao is not a general who likes to sacrifice human lives. He likes to achieve the greatest results with the least damage!
With this great victory, the whole Pingyang City was shrouded in a sea of joy.
A huge sacrifice was held in front of the Temple of the Goddess. This was something Huo Xiao had arranged long ago, but it was not carried out due to the ongoing war.
Two large cauldrons were cooking porridge with meat and vegetables in it. The aroma spread for miles. Regardless of whether there was food at home or not, people would come to get a bowl of porridge. This was a blessing bestowed upon the people by the goddess.
In addition, there are candies of various colors and patterns, which are the children’s favorite. After eating, the packaging bags are carefully collected.
The gongs and drums were deafening and firecrackers were blasting. The firecrackers were also bought by Ji Yunhuan. She didn't know what the sacrifice to the gods was about, but it was just about eating and drinking and having fun together.
A tall statue of the goddess was placed on a cart and driven around the city in a full circle, with gongs and drums beating. People along the roadside knelt down one after another, showing great piety.
The convoy drove very slowly, and when it passed the North City Market, a lion dance team appeared, as well as jugglers and dancers. It seemed as if all the citizens of the city had come out, laughing and making noise, and escorted the statue all the way to the Goddess Temple.
In the Temple of the Goddess, Huo Xiao led the generals to worship the gods.
The procedures were all in accordance with the emperor's sacrifice to heaven and earth. Anyway, Huo Xiao was the most powerful person in Pingyang City. No one would dare to say anything even if he ascended the throne on the spot, and there was nothing wrong with offering sacrifices.
The commotion lasted until the evening. The effect of the sacrifice was still very obvious, and the merit points on the bronze mirror kept rising.
It was also because of this great victory that the people became more pious to the gods.
Ji Yunhuan yawned and felt a little sleepy.
"Last time I needed it in a hurry and didn't have time to buy a plane, so I borrowed one from a friend and now I have returned it. We don't usually use private planes, but we do have two yachts for vacation."
"Yan Changfeng really can't fly a plane. He made a mess of it. It cost a lot of money to repair it. If your arm was not injured, he should have let you fly. Yan Changfeng is just good at talking, but he is not reliable at all when it comes to doing things!"
"Luckily he managed to get you back without crashing. How are your injuries?"
Huo Xiao moved his shoulder and still felt a dull pain. The external injury had healed, but his internal strength might have been sprained and he needed to heal slowly.
"Xiao is much better now. The plane can only carry about ten people. After the Beirong troops retreated, I brought back all the Huo family soldiers outside. They were seriously injured, but with the medicine given by the gods, their lives are not in danger."
Ji Yunhuan muttered, "That's good. You always report good news but not bad news. There must have been a lot of casualties in these battles. It would be great if we could stop fighting someday."
"We still have to buy more weapons, drones, planes, etc. But I don't think the planes can fly too far. You don't have a command center there. If you fly too far, you'll get lost easily. The weather is also uncontrollable. It's safer to fly close and low."
"I'm going to Wen Ya Ju again tomorrow and sell a batch of antiques to raise money for you to buy things. If I forget anything, remember to remind me to buy it..."
Ji Yunhuan fell asleep while talking.
When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed.
She drove back to her villa in the city, left the bronze mirror at home to deliver water, and asked An Tong to come out for dinner as she had the rare free time.
An Tong was very happy to see Ji Yunhuan. She rubbed her face and said loudly, "Finally you came out. I thought you were going to stay in the mountains and grow mushrooms. You went into the mountains after returning from Wangxing City, and I didn't even see you!"
Ji Yunhuan felt guilty, "I just came back and came to see you right away."
It is convenient to do things in the mountains, and with the help of tourism development companies, it is not surprising to buy many things.
She immediately sent Huo Xiao explosives, some weapons, cement, steel bars, bricks and other materials for building the city wall, a large number of fire extinguishers, and shells for rainmaking...
After all the busy work, she was exhausted. When it was almost done, Huo Xiao held a sacrifice and she joined in the fun. She went into the city today to find Mr. Yi to sell antiques.
The two entered the box. An Tong leaned over and stared at Ji Yunhuan, winking and saying, "You look so radiant, are you getting along well with your boyfriend?"
Ji Yunhuan spat out a mouthful of tea, "What boyfriend? Do you think everyone is like you, changing handsome boys every three months?"
An Tong exclaimed, "He can't be older than you, right? Didn't you say you like handsome guys who are younger than you? Why did you change your taste? In the past, I only liked young and handsome guys when I was a fan of celebrities. You wouldn't date an older man, right?"
Ji Yunhuan coughed violently, "What uncle? I'm only eighteen!"
An Tong slapped the table and laughed, "See you still don't admit it, this is clearly a relationship! Men still smell good when they are young. When they are old, no matter how well they take care of themselves, they won't smell that good. You said we are not short of money, we are not after money, we just want her to be handsome and good at sex!"
Ji Yunhuan claims to be a veteran of hundreds of battles, but in fact, he is just good at talking and watching, unlike An Tong, who has rich practical experience.
I did have a relationship when I was in college, but young people are like that, with handsome men and beautiful women, neither of them would give in, so we broke up after a lot of quarrels. I simply started to like handsome guys in the entertainment industry. It was fun to chase stars, but after I started my own entertainment company, forget it. I’d rather not talk about it. I get a headache thinking about the artists in the company!
If it was Huo Xiao, it wouldn't be impossible, mainly because he was handsome! And Huo Xiao was busy fighting every day, so he didn't have that many tricks, but it was a pity that he was too far away and could only watch!
Ji Yunhuan sighed, "It's not what you think at all. Don't ask me. I'll tell you when I can really let you see it. It's useless to say anything now."
"I'll tell you a little gossip. Wangxing City is really different from our Hanchuan City. You'll get a surprise every time you go there. Last time you went there, you met the real and fake daughter. This time, I met a reunion. It's the rich second generation of the Qin family who went abroad to study. He and my assistant had a relationship..."
An Tong's attention was successfully diverted and she stopped asking about Ji Yunhuan's "boyfriend".
After eating and drinking, An Tong still had work to do, so they planned to meet again in the evening. Ji Yunhuan then drove to Wen Ya Ju.
