Chapter 753: The weak spot must be the armor
In fact, before Sang Zhixia could refuse, Xu Yu guessed what the answer he would get.
In this situation, Sang Zhixia couldn't just walk away.
Rongchang thought of Xu Yu's expression when he said this to him, and said with a wry smile: "The general said that I must stay here, but before I leave, let me first remind you to leave. The general said..."
"For the sake of the two young masters, if something unexpected happens..."
What if Sang Zhixia is worried about her two children at home and can't bear to take the risk?
What if Sang Zhixia was worried that Xu Mingyang and Sang Yanyou who went out with her would be in danger?
just in case……
But there is no such thing as a single event.
So Xu Yu himself could not rush back for the time being, but he sent Rongchang back directly.
Rongchang sighed inwardly, "No one knows a wife better than her husband." He spoke calmly and calmly, "General, I've summoned all the scattered men to Nanyun these past few days. They're just waiting for your orders."
The Jiangnan area is really too big.
The number of people that Xu Yu secretly sent in continuously was quite large. After being dispersed among various key points that had to be controlled, a limited number could be concentrated in Nan Yun.
Eight thousand people was the result Xu Yu came up with after racking his brains.
These people stayed in Nanyun with no other tasks except to help Sang Zhixia accomplish what he wanted to do.
If Sang Zhixia wanted to retreat, these 8,000 troops would escort him all the way, and he would never encounter any trouble wherever he went.
If Sang Zhixia wanted to stay, these eight thousand people would be the protection Xu Yu prepared for her before he came back.
Sang Zhixia's heart skipped a beat for no reason, but after calming down for a moment, he said softly, "Your general doesn't have many men under his command, and there are many problems elsewhere. Eight thousand men are too many."
"not much."
Rongchang laughed and said, "If we weren't worried about complications arising from insufficient defenses elsewhere, we would have more people."
Nanyun is the place with the most ferry crossings, but going up Nanyun, there is also a fatal dam in Ningnan.
Now the heavy rain alone has caused the water level of the river to rise continuously. If there is a problem with the dam in Ningnan, all places downstream from Ningnan will suffer a disaster.
In addition, there are Jiangnan and Jiangbei areas. Although the number of ferry crossings is not as amazing as that in Nanyun, they are all built along the river.
According to people who experienced the disaster decades ago, when the flood really comes, no place in this series of places, whether big cities or small towns, will be able to escape.
Sang Zhixia was silent for a while, then said with an indescribable complex emotion, "Is your general okay? Is everything going well?"
Rongchang had a playful smile on his face, and said in a relaxed and complacent tone, "Just rest assured."
"Now, apart from the hidden danger of a major flood, the Jiangnan Governor's Office and Jiang'an and other places are all under the general's control. The remaining three or two grasshoppers are just autumn insects, and they won't be able to jump for a few more days."
These places never became real battlefields, and the 30,000 troops sent by Emperor Yongshun were always kept outside Nanyun.
The few local guards were never a threat to Xu Yu.
As for the Governor-General of Jiangnan...
Rongchang mocked, "Even before the general even arrived, the governor had already written his letter of surrender. When he met our general, he kept saying he wanted to abandon the dark side and join the light side. He had no intention of resisting at all."
"That's why they say the Jiangnan water towns are so bone-grinding and heartbreaking. One after another, without even a single clash of swords and guns, the bones inside have long been softened."
If the Nanxun Chamber of Commerce, a local tyrant with enough power to overwhelm the government, is dismantled, the remaining people will become very sensible.
Whether it was the rest of the people who had not yet found an opportunity to move forward, or the officials of all ranks who had been waiting for an opportunity for a long time, they all began to pave a way out for themselves early on.
As for the Yongshun Emperor's army, which has yet to enter Nanyun...
Rongchang said sternly, "Boss, the general has made an additional point. If those 30,000 troops take advantage of the situation and show any signs of movement, you must leave immediately."
Unlike the flood that threatens everyone, the target that Emperor Yongshun's people most want to target is most likely Sang Zhixia.
The commotion in Nanyun City was too loud to be hidden from anyone with ulterior motives, so it was inevitable that the news of Sang Zhixia's presence here would leak out.
Rongchang wanted to say something, but Sang Zhixia laughed and said, "I know."
"When the time comes, I'll run away without anyone telling me to."
At no time would she become a burden to Xu Yu.
What's wrong with being regarded as Xu Yu's weak spot that cannot be touched?
Above the soft spot, armor will inevitably emerge.
Rongchang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Sang Zhixia could distinguish the important from the unimportant.
"Your words make us feel at ease."
"From now on, we will do whatever you say and follow your instructions!"
The original shortage of staff was a big problem.
But those who came with Rongchang were all strong men with muscular bodies. They could smash things with hammers and lift sandbags with one hand.
The unexpected 8,000 extra people instantly turned into a reassurance pill stuffed into everyone's mouth.
Most of the new people in the city were dressed in ordinary cloth, but they walked with a fierceness rarely seen in ordinary people.
Fan Shicheng withdrew his hand from the car window and said with a strange expression, "As expected of a cavalry general famous on the battlefield."
The person sitting next to Fan Shicheng's eyebrows jumped violently, and asked in shock: "Master, are you saying these people are Xu Yu's people?"
"What else do you think?"
Fan Shicheng mocked, "Look at the movements of these people, and the murderous aura between their brows. These are soldiers who have just withdrawn from the Chuzhou battlefield."
"Apart from those who have experienced bloody battles and faced life and death, who else could possess such a powerful aura?"
"As for warriors like these, apart from the Xu family army led by Xu Yu, perhaps only the personal soldiers of the young prince of Lingnan can be compared."
The young prince of Lingnan was leading his troops gradually approaching Kyoto and had no time to care about the situation in Jiangnan.
Xu Yu's troops were in Chuzhou.
Xu Yu's wife is in Nanyun. Where did these people come from and what are they thinking?
However, Fan Shicheng did not expect that Xu Yu's actions would be so quick and efficient without causing any trouble beforehand.
There are thousands of people hiding in Nanyun alone, what about other places?
Fan Shicheng closed his eyes and said, "Use our family's channels to pass on a message to the other family heads. If you don't want to follow the same path as Yan Jun and others, then be honest and don't have any more wishful thinking about taking your family away from this troubled place."
"When you need to contribute money, you should contribute money. When you need to contribute labor, you should contribute labor."
"If someone comes to your door, just keep your tail between your legs and do what they tell you to do. Otherwise..."
These bloodthirsty soldiers don't care who you were in your life.
When the time comes to die, no one can save you.
Seeing that Fan Shicheng had made up his mind, the people following him whispered, "Master, are we going to do nothing else?"
"Who said we didn't do anything?"
Fan Shicheng said self-deprecatingly, "Tell my family not to hold back at all and to do their utmost to assist the person who came to them. They must do their best to get the job done."
"As for us..."
"Isn't the Sang family going to lead people to fight the flood? Let's go over and help."
The confidant seemed to be surprised that Fan Shicheng really accepted his fate and bowed his head, but then he heard Fan Shicheng sneer and said: "The situation is stronger than people."
"The situation is over, it's too late for anything."
"You're still dreaming of resistance at this time. Have you really had enough of life?"
And what Sang Zhixia said before...
Is this a debt owed in vain?
