As expected, brothers-in-law are the most difficult people to get along with. After so many years, his attitude towards him hasn't changed much. He is still finding fault with everything. He can only respond in a good tone.

Su Wenyue saw Han Yu being stabbed by Su Hengxuan, and she didn't want her man to lose face, but he was her second brother, so she had to say: "Don't worry, my husband, everything is taken care of by our parents, you don't have to worry about me and the children, just take care of yourself, don't just focus on official business."

Su Hengxuan curled his lips when he saw Su Wenyue like this. It was true that girls are extroverted and a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Now she only knows how to side with her husband.

Because they were afraid that the team would be too large and attract attention, the Su family left the city in the evening of the previous day and waited for Su Wenyue to leave the city at the farm outside the city, so Su Hengxuan escorted Su Wenyue directly out of the city, and Master Su and his wife waited for their daughter to come and disguised themselves as a caravan. Su Hengxuan sent people to the next market town and then returned. Compared to Su Hengxuan, Master Su had been to many places and was more experienced than Su Hengxuan. Madam Su was also a very tactful person, so Su Hengxuan didn't have to worry.

On the contrary, Mr. Su and Madam Su were somewhat worried about their youngest son who stayed in Yiyang Prefecture. Their eldest son had gone to the capital and there had been no news from him yet, and their youngest son was about to face danger. Although the risk factor was smaller than in the capital and he was only responsible for post-war supplies, they felt the same as parents and gave Su Hengxuan a lot of instructions.

Su Wenyue saw that her parents had already said everything else, so she just said to Su Hengxuan, "Second brother, if you encounter any difficulties, just go find your brother-in-law. I have already told my husband to take care of you. Besides, he is your brother-in-law, so don't hesitate to use him!"

Su Wenyue was probably afraid that Su Hengxuan would not look for Han Yu for the sake of face, so she added another sentence.

"I got it. Don't worry. I have a brother-in-law who orders me around, how can I let him get away with it!" Su Hengxuan was still pleased. It seemed that his sister did not care about him, but had already thought of and made arrangements. Besides, he and Han Yu did not really have a bad relationship. They were just joking. They always discussed things together when it came to serious matters. Su Hengxuan was not an arrogant person. He knew that he was not as experienced as his father and brother, and even Han Yu, so he acted more cautiously.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su felt relieved to see Su Hengxuan like this. They had great confidence in their son-in-law's abilities. With their son-in-law around, he would definitely take care of their son, so safety should not be a problem.

Su Wenyue and his group disguised themselves and retreated along the route arranged by Han Yu. The process was relatively smooth and they did not encounter any difficulties or dangers for the time being.

As for Yiyang Prefecture, as the imperial army advanced, it had reached the border of Yiyang. The atmosphere inside and outside the city as well as in the army was extremely tense. The imperial court sent several troops to attack tentatively, probably with the intention of testing their strength. Unfortunately, they were repelled several times by Han Yu and Liu Xiu, and their morale was frustrated.

"General Zhao, the rebels are so stubborn, what should we do? The Prime Minister ordered us to recapture Yiyang Prefecture within half a year. I thought it was an easy task, but at this rate, we won't be able to complete the task in a year, let alone half a year."

Deputy General Zhang Meng said irritably that the situation was indeed not optimistic, and they had suffered setbacks one after another, and their morale was rather low. None of them had expected that the small rebel army in Yiyang Prefecture was so tenacious. They had brought so many people with them, and it should have been easy to capture them, which was why they had volunteered to come here. It was also a great achievement to wipe out the rebels, but they had not expected that this bone would be so hard to chew.

When Zhao Fan heard what his deputy general said, the worried 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 task assigned by the prime minister, he would naturally be the first to be blamed by the prime minister. What's more, he was the one who took the initiative to take on this task, just because he underestimated the strength of this mob. Now he is in a situation of riding a tiger. Moreover, he led such a large army of tens of thousands, but couldn't do anything to a small Yiyang Prefecture. It would not be good for his reputation if it got out. People who didn't know him would think he was a coward. He couldn't even do such a simple thing. How could he have the face to lead troops in the future? As a military general, Zhao Fan had more or less some integrity and bloodiness.

"Pass the order down. In three days, I will personally lead people to attack Yiyang. I don't believe that a small Yiyang Prefecture can withstand the attack of my 30,000 troops. We must take Yiyang Prefecture this time!" Zhao Fan has also made up his mind. There is a huge disparity in manpower between the two sides. He wanted to win more beautifully before, so he did not send out all his troops. Now it is time to take Yiyang Prefecture in one go. Otherwise, if the morale continues to be so low, he will really suffer defeat.

"General, Liu Xiu and the defender of Yiyang Prefecture are not simple characters at all. If we attack rashly, even with our numerical advantage, we may not win. It is better to think twice before making a move." In fact, Zhao Fan did not personally participate in the confrontation between the two armies these days, but Zhang Meng had led troops to fight, so he had a deep understanding of the strength of the rebels. Seeing that Zhao Fan had given such an order, Shi Tu dissuaded him.

"Shut up, Lieutenant General Zhang, why are you boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige? No matter how many rebels there are, their number is less than 10,000. We underestimated the enemy before. If we attack with all our strength now, we will surely turn the situation around. Since you are an elder by my side, I will not punish you this time. But don't say such discouraging words again. It will affect the morale. If there is a next time, you will be subject to military law." Zhao Fan had fought in many battles before. Although there were times when he lost, he won more often than not. He still had a sense of pride and self-sufficiency 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 command." Zhang Meng saw Zhao Fan like this and knew that he would definitely not listen to him now. If he continued to persuade him, he would definitely not end well. Even though he was worried, there was nothing he could do. He could only keep it hidden in his heart. He hoped that the general could really win this time. Otherwise, it would be worse than the current situation. However, he felt that the probability of this happening was small.

Zhang Meng didn't look down on his own general, but he had been following Zhao Fan for many years, so he knew how capable his superior was. It was okay for him to face ordinary generals, at least the general was brave and could stand alone against the enemy with magic. But this time, the opponent's general was no ordinary man. His skill could be seen from just a few small battles. He was a god in commanding troops. It was not a wise move for him to just fight forward with courage.

As for Liu Xiu and Han Yu, after Zhao Fan gave the order, they soon received reports from the spies, in which they learned that Zhao Fan had decided to launch a large-scale attack on the city because of the previous setbacks. They all had solemn expressions on their faces, but had no intention of retreating.
