MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 35 win
Outside the carriage, Zhao You had already approached with great vigilance. He looked at Liu Yu eagerly, and sent him and the thousands of people he led away. He quickly asked, "Ashu, what did he tell you just now?"
Ah Shu was still confused, and was looking at Liu Yu's retreating back in a trance. Hearing the words, he hesitated a little, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing important."
For some reason, Liu Jiu's words not only confused her, but also had an indescribable shyness, which made her subconsciously not want to tell her brother.
Zhao You didn't ask any more questions, mounted his horse and set off for Quliang Station.
Quliang is located at the junction of the two counties of Zhao and Guangping. If you go west for another day, you will be able to enter the territory of Handan, which is not far from Zhao's land. Zhao You decided to stay here for a day because of the tiredness of Ashu's boat, take a little rest, and come back the next day.
When the carriage and horses approached the station, A Shu lifted the curtain of the car, and a familiar figure could be seen from a distance. Standing at the gate, looking up, it was Deng Wan, who had not been seen for a long time.
She caressed her forehead with one hand to block the light, while the other hand supported her waist for support, which seemed a little labored. Taking a closer look, Su Ri was in love with her tight-fitting Qu Ju, but today she deliberately wore a loose belt, and her lower abdomen under the robe was slightly bulging, obviously pregnant!
As soon as Ashu got out of the car, her eyes widened, she walked to Deng Wan in three or two, took Deng Wan's hand, and said with surprise and joy, "Sister-in-law, are you—pregnant?"
As she spoke, her eyes slid to Deng Wan's bulging abdomen, full of curiosity, reaching out to caress, but she was a little scared and never dared to touch it.
Deng Wan glanced shyly at Zhao You, took the initiative to take A Shu's hand and stroked it on her belly, Rou Wan nodded and smiled, "Yeah, I've been looking forward to it for so long, it's almost April now."
She and Zhao You have been married for several years and have never given birth. Now that she is pregnant with great difficulty, she is naturally very happy and looking forward to it.
There was a warm and heavy feeling in the palm of the hand, and A Shu's heart was filled with a soft and strange feeling, and she became more cautious and muttered: "In this belly, there is a slowly growing child..."
Her eyes softened slightly, and her nose turned red: "Sister-in-law, I know you've been looking forward to a child for a long time, and now that you have it, you should stay at home for a good life, how can you come to pick me up after all this trouble... "
Deng Wan covered her lips with a light smile, reached out her hand to tuck the wind-blown hair behind her ears for her, and said softly, "I asked a medical worker to look at it, and after three months, the fetus has stabilized, and it is time to do so. It’s better to walk around a lot. Besides, your brother is gone for three or two days, and I’m alone at night, I’m afraid it’s going to be hard to sleep. Now it’s just right. After picking you up, our family of three will be reunited.”
With red eyes, Ah Shu looked at her sister-in-law, whose face was slightly rounded, and suddenly remembered Liu Zhao, Mrs. Fan, and even Po Nu and A Dai who had met in the Xin Palace. The tears that had not been shed in front of Liu Xiu finally finally came to an end. He rolled down again, sobbing and said, "Sister-in-law, I-I miss you so much!"
Zhao You didn't know how these two said a few words, so he burst into tears again, and quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support Deng Wan, rubbed the top of his sister's hair, and coaxed: "Don't cry, if you will Sister-in-law also made me cry, I can't forgive you!"
While wiping her eyes, Ah Shu broke into a smile and walked into the station with her brother and sister-in-law.
Such a family is worthy of her constant care.
…
After noon, Zhao You went to chat with the postmaster, leaving Ashu and Deng Wan together, moving a spacious low couch, and basking in the warm sunlight of late autumn under the porch.
Deng Wan is now full of the peace and tenderness of being a mother, holding silk, silk and needles in her hands, making clothes for the soon-to-be-born child little by little.
Ah Shu didn't dare to ask her to play Liubo, throwing pots, etc. with her, just leaned aside and stared at her silently. Looking at it like this, my thoughts wandered, and I remembered the hard thinking and racking my brain when I was in the Xin Palace that day when I wanted to make a sachet for Liu Xiu.
That sachet, if she remembered correctly, he would bring it with him every day, and he wasn't afraid of the jokes of his subjects... This person always mixes the real with the fake, and taught her that he couldn't see what he meant.
Thinking like this, she inexplicably gave birth to two shyness, and even her cheeks turned slightly red.
Deng Wan saw her appearance thoroughly, and laughed lightly: "Ashu, how are you getting along with the king?"
In this letter to his brother, Ashu did not mention many matters in Xindu, but only stated that he had received Liu Xiu's consent, but he could return to Handan and ask him to come to meet him, so neither Zhao You nor Deng Wan knew the inside story.
Suddenly mentioning Liu Xiong, she seemed to have been pricked in her mind, her cheeks became pink, but her heart turned a thousand times, she was actually thinking of what he said to herself in the carriage before parting, and she was confused for a while.
She thought about it, thinking that Sister-in-law should be different from Brother A, she is a woman and should be more aware of her situation, so she told the matter and asked, "Sister-in-law, is he answering me by saying that? Are you very dissatisfied, or are you still worried about me, so you want to take me back?"
Deng Wan was stunned for a while, then smiled meaningfully, stretched out her hand and rubbed A Shu's cheeks that were still pink, and said narrowly: "He asked you like that, naturally hoping that you can miss every day. Brother, you and I both believe that he can strategize and win thousands of miles, don’t you care about him?”
Ah Shu thought about it for a while, then Fang nodded ignorantly. It seemed that this was the case. Those who were very concerned about her loved ones should really miss them from time to time.
But what kind of relative is Liu Xiu considered her? The marriage between the two was forced, let alone, neither himself nor Liu Zhao, Mrs. Fan, etc. regarded her as a family.
Probably just as a man, no matter what the relationship between husband and wife is, he always wants his wife to be obedient at all times, and his thoughts are only on him. In the previous life, Geng Yun treated her the same way. Although he only regarded her as a plaything, he never allowed any other thoughts.
She was dissatisfied, so she talked to Deng Wan about the many encounters in the Xin Palace these days.
At this moment, Deng Wan knew that she had been living in such a trembling manner after her marriage, and she felt distressed for a while, and the narrowness of her just disappeared, she just said solemnly: "Ashu, my brother and I have the same meaning, this marriage, if you If you feel wronged, even if you break it, it’s fine.”
Ashu was startled, and quickly shook her head and said, "No no, sister-in-law, I didn't think about it that much. It's not bad to have to come back now."
It is her limit to find ways to return to Handan. If she wants to take the initiative to reconcile with Liu Yu, she really does not dare. Such a vengeful person must not be easily angered.
Deng Wan was still waiting to talk, but Zhao You had already returned, walking to her side with a smile on her face, kneading her shoulders and back, and asking, "You two are quite comfortable, what are you talking about?"
Deng Wan originally wanted to tell him what happened just now, but when she received A Shu's pleading eyes, she paused, then she gave up and waved her hand: "It's just a small talk. It's you, what did you say to the Yicheng?"
Zhao Youjunlang's face flashed a bit of haze and worry: "It's not a big deal, just talking about the drought in the summer and autumn this year, and the fear that there will be a locust plague in the spring of next year, but the boundary of Jizhou should not be peaceful. "
Locust plague!
Both their faces changed. Summer and autumn drought, many locust plagues. Once the plague of locusts breaks out, there will be no harvest in the territory they pass through, causing countless famines and starvation. The turbulent state of the Han Dynasty in recent years was not only due to Emperor Cheng's neglect of government and the introduction of foreign relatives into chaos, but also due to the constant natural disasters and frequent famines, which made the people unable to make a living.
If the famine recurs, I am afraid that it will lead to rampant bandits and continuous wars.
Although the Zhao family has a large land and a prosperous population, they hoarded a lot of surplus grain during the good years. In the end, they can only feed the people of the clan. In the past few years when bandits were rampant, it was inevitable that they would be fat in the eyes of others, and they had to survive. , is also quite laborious.
However, this matter had not happened yet, Zhao You couldn't bear to worry his wife and sister, so he quickly changed his words and talked about an interesting incident.
The three then spent a day in peace with each other, and at dawn the next day, they set off for Handan.
…
However, he said that Liu Yuzi and A Shu separated, although there was still a lump in his heart, in the end he was able to take it back and let it go, and once again devoted himself to the war.
The tactic agreed with Guo Qu and others earlier was that Liu Ji led the 20,000-odd men to sneak attack from the back of the two-county coalition forces, run away with one blow, lead the enemy to chase, wait for the enemy to retreat, attack and run again, and so on, leading The enemy's march was hindered, he was in disarray, and he was tired of running for his life; while he went around with light cavalry from the south, and he really decided to use his 100,000 troops to defeat the enemy when it was scattered.
When he arrived at the real time, he received a report of the battle. The two-county coalition forces, which were not very united, were gradually slackening, and their morale was slumping.
However, at this moment, Zhending Kingdom is in chaos due to the death of Zheng Nv.
Liu Yanshou had already made up his mind to submit to Liu Yu and take all the military power in the middle of the country. However, Zheng Xu, who had accompanied his daughter in the residence letter, suddenly hurried back and told the story of her daughter's death. Not only did he persuade Liu Yanshou not to join forces with such villains, he even threatened to make Liu Yu die.
However, Liu Yanshou had been very critical of Zheng Xu because of Zheng Nu's absurd behavior earlier, and this time he received a letter from Liu Yu first, telling the truth of the matter, how could he still listen to his slander? Without thinking much, he refuted it in public and insisted on forming an alliance with Liu Yu.
The army is under the city, and there is no general in the country. How can he ruin the whole truth because of his own selfishness?
Zheng Xu was unrelenting. For the first time in decades, he had a dispute with him. In the end, in a fit of anger, he absconded from Zhending and disappeared without a trace.
Fortunately, Liu Yanshou did not waver, and when he saw Liu Yu, he did not hesitate to entrust the matter to him.
Liu Xiu was ready to form an army, training his army day and night, watching the situation from time to time, looking for a high place, and setting up an ambush with 50,000 people.
Although Julu and Zhongshan are strong, they do not cooperate well due to the temporary alliance, and many of them are old and disabled, and their combat strength is quite weak. Along the way, due to the disturbance of Liu Jijun, the journey that should have been completed in ten days actually dragged on for fifteen days, and when they arrived here, the soldiers were exhausted and miserable.
The Zhending army was hiding in the woods between the slopes. Taking advantage of its laziness and unpreparedness, Liu Yu waved his hand, and immediately the war drums began to beat. Fifty thousand horses rushed out, shooting arrows at the enemy and throwing stones at the same time. The second enemy army was defeated and fled.
For a time, there were only less than 60,000 troops in the so-called 80,000-strong army. When they fled to the city in a hurry, they were intercepted by another 50,000 troops. They were attacked from both sides. Within five days, several coaches were captured. The commander-in-chief, who was leading the troops, was also captured, and the rest of the army saw the situation and had to surrender.
When the battle was over, Liu Yanshou was very happy and admired Liu Ruo, leaving him for a banquet in the palace.
The celebration feast after the victory was supposed to be joyous, but Liu Xiu was a little uneasy.
