Han Yu nodded. Even if Liu Xiu had not said so, he had originally planned to avoid it. This time, he suffered heavy losses in the defeat. Only a few thousand men and horses escaped at the beginning. Although many people escaped later and the losses in men and horses were slightly reduced, he was still seriously injured. It can be said that all the previous hard work and efforts were in vain, and everything had to start all over again.
But it was not like starting from scratch. At least with the popularity he had accumulated before and the previous battle in which he defeated the larger force with a smaller one, Liu Xiu's popularity and reputation had reached a certain level. Even though he was defeated this time, there were still many people who came to join him.
Liu Xiu must be eager to expand his troops now, and Han Yu does not want to get involved openly, even though Liu Xiu really trusts him now and has no suspicions anymore. The more so, the more he must protect the results of his hard work. As for what he will do secretly, it is unknown.
"I will listen to you, my lord. But even if I really want to do something, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Maybe it's because there is a sedative ingredient in the Mu Shen medicine. I've been feeling very low in spirits these past few days and I really don't have any energy." When Han Yu said this, he already looked a little sleepy. Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood, his face still looked very pale.
Liu Xiu obviously noticed Han Yu's condition and was very sympathetic. He said, "Then you should have a good rest, take care of yourself, and listen to the doctor's advice. I won't disturb you. There are many things waiting for me to deal with outside."
"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Please go and do your business. You don't have to worry about me. I am such a grown-up and I still can't take care of myself." Han Yu said with a smile, his tone somewhat helpless. He didn't know whether Liu Xiu showed unprecedented concern for him during this period because of his life-saving grace this time or because of his previous suspicion and guilt for his actions. He cared about him in every detail, sometimes almost to the point of nagging. Han Yu suddenly understood the helplessness and headache his wife felt when facing his nagging.
"Okay, I'll go out and not bother you anymore." Liu Xiu seemed to feel that he was too long-winded. He was just grateful to Han Yu for saving his life and wanted to make up for his guilt towards Han Yu, so he took better care of Han Yu. However, with the change of his mentality and the increase in his interactions with Han Yu, Liu Xiu suddenly felt that Han Yu was quite interesting. Although he looked cold and stern on the surface, he didn't restrain himself much even in front of him. But it was interesting to see Han Yu's helpless look and slightly changed expression under his nagging. It turned out that the brave and invincible general who was fearless also had times when he was afraid.
Liu Xiu was about to go out when he reached the door of the tent. He seemed to think of something and said, "Oh, your wife may come in a few days. I want to tell you so that you can be prepared."
"What did you say?" Han Yu didn't care about his tone at this time. After hearing Liu Xiu's words, he asked excitedly. He didn't know what was going on, but it couldn't be that he had heard it wrong.
"It's like this. I see that you are injured so badly. There are only men in the military camp, and no women. They are not so careful in taking care of you. So I asked the son of Bei'an Marquis to send a message back and ask your sister-in-law to come and take care of you for a while. They can take care of your health and comfort your feelings of missing you. It's like killing two birds with one stone." Liu Xiu said quite complacently. He felt that his arrangement was really appropriate and was very considerate of Han Yu. However, he had a secret thought in his mind and wanted to verify the answer in his heart.
Han Yu didn't think much about it. It was normal for Liu Xiu to do such a thing based on her recent performance. Although he was happy about the arrival of his wife, he still had a stern face: "This is a military camp. What is a woman like her doing here? It will not have a good influence!"
Although there was no explicit rule in the Daimyo Dynasty that women were not allowed to enter military camps, there were generally no women in such important military camps. Of course, some armies had military prostitutes, but there were none here for the time being.
Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows after hearing Han Yu's words. Don't think he didn't see Han Hu's suddenly softened expression and the tenderness that flashed across his face. As the saying goes, a tough man should be tender, and he still tried to do this to him. He immediately exposed Han Yu without any hesitation: "I say Xiuqi, you should be honest and not say one thing and mean another. This is not good. I have always thought that you are a relatively honest person, but now it seems that you are not entirely true. With the intensity of your love for your wife, you must miss her very much. Now that you hear that your wife is coming, you must be very happy, right? But you have to act like you are not welcome."
Liu Xiu said, seeing Han Yu still in that state, he continued: "Actually, I was thinking of buying a maid to take care of you. I was thinking about the relationship between you and your wife, and I heard that your wife is jealous, so I took this bad idea and brought your wife over. I thought you would be happy. Now it seems that I was too smart. In this case, I think my sister-in-law is only halfway there, so why not just let her go back."
Han Yu knew that Liu Xiu's bad taste had come back again, but it was hard to remain calm when it came to matters involving his wife. Even though he knew that Liu Xiu said that on purpose to provoke him, he still gave in.
"Since she's here, let her come. There's no point in turning back halfway." Okay, Han Yu admitted that he was happy.
"That's right. It's not shameful to miss your wife. Well, I've told everyone I should tell. I'm really busy now." Liu Xiu patted Han Yu's shoulder and walked a few steps out of the tent. The smile on his face faded, and there was a bit of mystery on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
Su Wenyue did not expect that Liu Xiu would ask Su Hengjing to bring a letter to her, asking her to go and take care of Han Yu. However, after receiving the letter, she did not delay for a moment. She handed the child to the care of his parents and packed a large bag to go to Han Yu. She could not help but feel worried and concerned. The fact that he asked her to go and take care of him meant that Han Yu was really seriously injured, otherwise he would not have asked her to come.
When the three children learned that their mother was going to take care of their injured father, although they were reluctant to leave, they did not insist on following her as usual. They were very sensible and obedient. Even Xing Ge'er did not act as Su Wenyue had worried.
"Mom, you go and take care of dad. I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters." Xing Ge'er had actually seen his mother's worries these days. He didn't want to make his mother sad, and he was actually worried about his dad too.

"Madam, the military camp is just ahead. We are about to see the master." Xiaoxi followed Su Wenyue this time. When she saw the military camp ahead, she said happily, pointing in the direction of the military camp.
