Han Yu sighed, but he didn't hide the bandit suppression from Su Wenyue. He didn't hide his emotions, but he wanted to tell Su Wenyue. It was better for him to tell her in person than to hear it from others. He wanted to protect his wife under his wings before, but after these things, he knew that this idea would not work, at least it would not work with his wife's temperament.
"I didn't expect those people to act so quickly. I still have some time to make arrangements. Now I have no choice but to take a risky move." Han Yu was not afraid, but he was not happy that those people were so eager to get rid of him. He was also worried about his wife at home. If something happened to her, how could he leave his beloved wife and children to others to take care of them? This is how married people are. When faced with such things, they are inevitably worried and cannot let go completely. They are not as carefree as before.
Su Wenyue's heart tightened. Although she knew that Han Yu had smoothly taken the position of Prime Minister in her previous life, there were many differences in this life because of her rebirth.
"But it will be dangerous. Do you want to ask my father for some help?" Su Wenyue didn't care about so many things. As long as Han Yu was safe, it was fine. She knew that the Su family actually kept a group of people in secret. Only the head of the Su family knew about this. Even her mother An didn't know about it. She also found out about it accidentally in her previous life. She believed that with how much her father and elder brother loved her, they would not ignore the safety of their son-in-law.
"No need. Now that we are in the military camp, there is no way there will be no danger. We can't ask my father-in-law for help for such a small matter. We can't let people look down on our Han family. Besides, I am not completely unsure. I just want to make you worry."
Han Yu has his own pride in his heart. He can get help from Yue's family in some matters, but he insists on some things. If he wants to climb to a height that people look up to, he must rely on himself to fight for his life. He has made a decision long ago, but he feels a little guilty towards his wife. However, no matter his wife or his career, he cannot give up either of them.
Su Wenyue also saw Han Yu's determination and understood this man's ambitions and aspirations, so she did not try to persuade him, but just held Han Yu's hand.
"Since you have made up your mind, then do it according to your idea. I believe that the child's father is the most capable person and will definitely succeed. The child and I will be waiting for you at home. For the sake of me and the child, you must come back safely." Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu intently, with trust and support she had never had before. Since Han Yu was willing to tell her and share things with her without hiding anything, she would be Han Yu's strong backing, take care of the home for him, and wait for him to come back.
"Wife, marrying you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life." Han Yu said with emotion. His wife was stronger than he had imagined. Not only did she not cry and make a fuss with him, she was not as fragile and helpless as he had worried about. Instead, she supported him in her own way and made him worry-free.
"You just found out now." Su Wenyue rolled her eyes at Han Yu and asked, "When are you going to set out to suppress the bandits? Is there anything I can do?"
"We'll set out the day after tomorrow. Bandits have been getting more rampant these days. It would be good to get rid of this scourge as soon as possible, and it would be a way to avenge my brother-in-law. As for you, all you can do is stay home, take good care of yourself and the children, and wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I've been planning for so long, and I've known their moves in advance, so I've got the upper hand. Even if I'm not completely sure of winning this battle, I'm 70% to 80% sure. Just wait for me at home, don't worry too much."
After all, Han Yu didn't want to make his wife worry too much. Before the time really came, no one knew who would win or lose. In fact, he was only half sure at most. After all, his foundation was shallow. Even now, there were some things that he was willing but unable to do. Moreover, the incident happened much earlier than expected, and many preparations were not in place.
Su Wenyue was relieved when she heard that Han Yu was 70% to 80% sure. In her opinion, Han Yu would not do anything without confidence. Since he said so, he must be confident. However, she did not really listen to Han Yu and do nothing. She still had to help with the preparations. She just wanted Han Yu not to want her to work so hard, but she would be uneasy if she really did nothing.
Han Yu only has so many people under his command. It is not an easy task to capture the bandits' stronghold. It may take some time. Food is indispensable. Moreover, it is November and the weather is very cold, which adds a layer of difficulty. She heard that the military camp has not paid food and wages for a month. What's more, some people in the military camp deliberately targeted Han Yu. They couldn't let Han Yu go to fight the bandits without enough food and clothes.
"Husband, will you come back before you leave?" Su Wenyue asked uncertainly. Sometimes Han Yu had to stay in the military camp when he really didn't have time.
"I will come back tomorrow night, and I will be back early." Han Yu thought that Su Wenyue was worried and wanted to see him again before leaving, so he said. Anyway, there was no need to train tomorrow, so he just went there to arrange the departure the day after tomorrow.
Although the bandits' stronghold is not too far from here, it will take less than a day to arrive there. According to the normal arrangement, we should launch a surprise attack, take down the stronghold in one fell swoop, and return quickly. But now there is a traitor in the military camp who is in contact with the stronghold. Such a strategy is obviously not feasible, otherwise we will fall into the bandits' trap. Therefore, Han Yu was mentally prepared that this battle would take some time, and he had to prepare everything.
Su Wenyue didn't ask any more questions after receiving Han Yu's affirmative answer. She was thinking about what to prepare for tomorrow so as not to miss anything.
Han Yu went out early the next morning, and Su Wenyue also gathered the servants in the house early in the morning and asked them to prepare according to her arrangements. There were three things to prepare: food, medicinal materials, and cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Fortunately, Su Wenyue had the experience from her previous life. All the money in the family was exchanged for food and supplies, and the warehouse was full, so she was not in a hurry to make temporary preparations. The quantity needed was not too large, and she had ready-made ones at home in all varieties, so she didn't even have to transport them to the farm.
Taking the inconvenience of marching into consideration, Su Wenyue prepared cooked food, such as flatbread, pickles, and dried meat. These foods are not easy to spoil in such weather, and it would be more comfortable to eat them if they can be heated up in time. If not, they can be eaten directly. Each person also prepared a few big sweet potatoes and a pot of wine. If you feel too cold in such weather, just take a sip and you will feel relaxed all over.
As for medicines, it was unrealistic to prepare them for everyone. Su Wenyue simply prepared some that might be needed for the march and put them in several packages, and asked Han Yu to distribute them.
