Han Yu nodded his agreement, and even if Liu Xiu hadn't suggested it, he had already planned on stepping aside a bit. The defeat had been a grave loss, initially leaving only a few thousand soldiers and horses. Although many more had managed to escape and the loss of forces had been slightly alleviated, their vitality had still been severely damaged. It could be said that all their previous hard work and accumulation were in vain, and they had to start all over again.
However, it wasn't a complete reboot. At the very least, Liu Xiu's popularity and reputation had reached a certain height because of the previous battle where they had won against the odds with fewer forces. Even now, after this defeat, many still came to join him.
