Chapter 447 A solemn look
Sure enough, the brother-in-law was the hardest creature to get along with. After all these years, his brother-in-law's attitude towards him still hadn't changed much. He was still picky and picky, and he could only respond in a good tone.
When Su Wenyue saw Han Yu being stabbed by Su Hengxuan, she didn't want her man to lose face, but that was her second brother, so she had to say: "Don't worry, sir, my parents will take care of everything. You don't have to worry about me and the children. Just take care of yourself, don’t just worry about business.”
Su Hengxuan curled his lips when he saw Su Wenyue like this. Sure enough, girls are outgoing. The married daughter threw water, so she knew that she was in love with her.
Because they were afraid that the team would be too large to attract attention, the Su family left the city the evening before and waited for Su Wenyue to meet up at the village outside the city. So Su Hengxuan protected Su Wenyue and went directly outside the city. Mr. Su and his wife waited for their daughter to arrive and pretended As a pair of caravans set off, Su Hengxuan sent the people to the next town and then returned. Compared to Su Hengxuan, Mr. Su has traveled all over the world and is more experienced than Su Hengxuan. Mrs. Su is also very well-behaved, so Su Hengxuan doesn't need to worry.
On the contrary, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were somewhat worried about their younger son who stayed in Yiyang Mansion. The eldest son had gone to the capital and no letter had been sent back. The younger son was about to face danger again. Although the risk factor was smaller than that in the capital, it was just He was responsible for post-war supplies, but his parents had the same intentions and gave Su Hengxuan a lot of advice.
Seeing that everything else had been told by her parents, Su Wenyue only said to Su Hengxuan: "Second brother, if you encounter any difficulties, just go to your brother-in-law. I have already told my husband to take care of you. Besides, he is your brother-in-law. , No need, no need, you’re welcome!”
Su Wenyue was probably afraid that Su Hengxuan would not look for Han Yu because of his face, so he added another sentence.
"I know, don't worry. How can I take advantage of my brother-in-law?" Su Hengxuan was still satisfied. It seemed that his sister didn't care about him, but she had already thought about it and made arrangements. Moreover, there was no real relationship between him and Han Yu. The relationship is not good, it is just a joke. When it comes to serious matters, there is always discussion. Su Hengxuan is not an arrogant person. He knows that he is not as good as his father and brother in terms of experience, and he is not even as good as Han Yu. Act more cautiously.
Mr. Su and Mrs. Su felt a lot more relieved when they saw Su Hengxuan like this. They both believed in their son-in-law's ability. With his son-in-law here, he would definitely take care of their son, and his safety should not be a problem.
Su Wenyue and his party disguised themselves and retreated according to the route arranged by Han Yu. It was relatively smooth and they encountered some difficulties and dangers for the time being.
As for Yiyang Mansion, as the imperial army advanced, it had reached the border of Yiyang. The atmosphere was extremely tense both inside and outside the city and in the army. The imperial court tentatively sent a few troops to attack. He tried his best, but unfortunately he was repelled by Han Yu and Liu Xiu several times, and his energy was frustrated.
"General Zhao, the rebels are so tenacious, what should we do? The Prime Minister gave us an order to recover Yiyang Mansion within half a year. It was originally thought to be an easy task, but if the situation continues like this, it will take a year, let alone half a year. Can't complete the task."
Lieutenant General Zhang Meng said very irritably, the situation was really not optimistic, and he suffered setbacks one after another, and his morale was relatively low. None of them expected that the small rebels in Yiyang Mansion were so tenacious, and they brought so many It should be easy for people to capture it. They took the initiative to ask for help in the first place. It was also a great achievement to wipe out the rebels. But I didn't expect that this bone would be so difficult to chew.
When Zhao Fan heard what his lieutenant said, the sad expression on his face became more and more obvious. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, if he could not successfully complete the mission assigned by the Prime Minister, he would naturally bear the brunt of the blame when the Prime Minister blamed him. Moreover, he took the initiative to lead this mission. , just because he underestimated the strength of this group of people, he has now become a tiger-riding force, and he has brought tens of thousands of troops, but he can't do anything to a small Yiyang Mansion, and his reputation is not good when it is spread. People who don't know think that He is a coward who cannot do such a simple thing. How can he have the nerve to lead troops in the future? As a general, Zhao Fan has more or less integrity and blood.
"Send the order. In three days, I will personally lead an attack on Yiyang. I don't believe it. A small Yiyang Mansion can withstand the attack of my 30,000-strong army. This time I will definitely capture Yiyang Mansion!" Zhao Fan has also made up his mind. There is a huge disparity in manpower between the two sides. He wanted to win better before, so he did not go out in full force. Now it is time to take down Yiyang Mansion in one go. Otherwise, if the morale continues to be so low, he will really have to suffer defeat. ’s share.
"General, Liu Xiu and the guard of Yiyang Mansion are really not simple characters. If we attack rashly like this, even if we rely on the numerical advantage, we may not win. It is better to think twice before proceeding." In fact, when the two armies are fighting these days, Zhao Fan did not personally participate, but Zhang Meng had led troops to fight, so he had a deep understanding of the power of the rebels. Seeing that Zhao Fan had given such an order, he was discouraged by his official career.
"Shut up, Lieutenant General Zhang, why are you trying to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? No matter how many rebels there are, there are less than 10,000 of them. We underestimated the enemy before. Now we will definitely turn the situation around if we attack with all our strength. Since you are an old man beside me, I will not punish you this time. Don't say such discouraging words again. It will affect morale. If there is a next time, you will be subject to military law." Zhao Fan had fought many battles before. Although he lost sometimes, he won more often. He still had a sense of pride and self-restraint in his heart. He couldn't stand hearing Lieutenant General Zhang's words, which clearly implied that his ability was not as good as the rebel generals.
"Yes, I obey your order." Seeing Zhao Fan like this, Zhang Meng was definitely not going to listen to him now. If he continued to persuade him, he would definitely not get any good results. Even if he was worried, he could not do anything but hide it in his heart. He hoped that the general could really win this time, otherwise it would be better than now. However, he felt that the probability of this was relatively small.
Zhang Meng didn't look down on his own general, but he had been with Zhao Fan for many years, so he didn't know how capable his boss was. It was okay to fight against ordinary generals, at least the general was brave, and he was able to play magic. But this time, the opponent's general was no ordinary person. It was only a few small battles that showed his skill. He was like a god in using troops. It was not a wise move to just fight forward with courage.
Liu Xiu and Han Yu, after Zhao Fan gave the order, soon received the report from the spies. They learned that Zhao Fan decided to attack the city because of the setbacks in the previous times. They all looked solemn, but had no intention of retreating.
