"Report! The Left Winged Guards failed to suppress the rebellion. Zhao Chenhan was ambushed and captured, along with several other young men from the capital. The commander of the Left Winged Guards, Xu Zhong, has requested assistance from Governor Feng Siyuan."
Shen Huai knelt on the ground and reported.
"So weak?" Zhao Lin was surprised. "I thought the Zuo Yu Lin Guards were an elite force. Even with my covert support, they could hold out for a month. But they were defeated in less than two weeks, and Zhao Chenhan was even captured."
Su Di sneered, "One soldier is a bad soldier, and so are all the bad generals. Zhao Chenhan is a name without substance, harming others and himself, and this is what he deserves. I wonder if Feng Siyuan can rescue Zhao Chenhan."
"No." Zhao Lin said.
Sudi was stunned, then suddenly realized.
Not to mention that Feng Siyuan had long disliked Zhao Chenhan and would not try to help at all. Even if he wanted to, with Zhao Lin around, no one could rescue Zhao Chenhan unless Zhao Jingzhou personally led the Zhenbei Army.
Zhao Chenhan suffered a lot.
But what does this have to do with Zhao Lin?
It was purely because Zhao Chenhan was incompetent that he fell into the enemy's trap.
…
Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
It's a mess.
Han Yuehua was losing her temper: "Waste! All of them are waste! So many people can't protect one person, what's the point of having them?"
Han Yuehua almost fainted after receiving the news from Zhao Mingya.
Zhao Chenhan was captured again!
This is the second time.
The first time was understandable.
But this time he is the head coach!
He is the commander-in-chief appointed by the emperor himself!
In order for Zhao Chenhan to make achievements and enter the core circle of the Cheng family, Prince Yu and others worked hard to get him this opportunity.
But, it went wrong.
Not only was he ambushed and defeated, but he himself was captured.
When the news came back, the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and even the entire capital were in an uproar.
Don't forget, Zhao Chenhan went there with a group of young masters.
That group of young masters were captured along with Zhao Chenhan.
Their followers also urgently sent the news back home.
If they couldn't rescue him, the Zhenbei Marquisate would have offended more than a dozen wealthy families.
Even including Han Yuehua's natal family, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
Someone has already come to scold Han Yuehua.
Han Yuehua hurriedly called all her daughters over.
"Don't worry, mother. Xu Zhong, the commander of the Zuo Yulin Guard, has already asked the Jiangbei Governor for help. As long as he sends troops, he will definitely be able to rescue Chen Han."
Zhao Mingzhu got the news from Prince Yu and knew more than Han Yuehua, so he comforted her.
Han Yuehua frowned: "Han'er and Feng Siyuan don't have a good relationship. He may not save Han'er."
Zhao Mingzhu frowned and asked, "Why not?"
Han Yuehua sighed: "Feng Siyuan is a eunuch party, how could Han'er be kind to him? I just didn't expect that I would have to ask him for help now."
Zhao Mingyue said, "Chen Han is the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty, and he is also the heir of our Marquisate. Feng Siyuan wouldn't dare not send troops, right?"
Zhao Mingzhu shook her head: "Feng Siyuan naturally doesn't dare, but as long as he delays and doesn't work hard, he can kill Chen Han. We can't rely on him, we have to find someone else."
"Who are you looking for?"
Han Yuehua and her daughter looked at Zhao Mingzhu expectantly.
"Zhao Lin!"
Zhao Mingzhu opened her red lips and uttered two words.
"no!"
Han Yuehua subconsciously objected: "He regards Chen Han as an enemy and wants to kill him, so how could he possibly go to save him? It's better to rely on Feng Siyuan than on him."
"Yes, Zhao Lin has always hated Chen Han. He will definitely not rescue him if he knows he's been captured." Zhao Mingxiao echoed, "I think it would be better to call the families of those young masters who followed Chen Han and threaten Feng Siyuan together to send troops to rescue him. I don't believe he dares to offend so many people at once."
Han Yuehua nodded and said, "That makes sense. I'll call them over right away."
Zhao Mingzhu wanted to say something but stopped herself, but when she saw that her mother and sisters all agreed, she sighed and said nothing.
"I hope everything goes well." Zhao Mingzhu said to herself.
Han Yuehua sent someone to call the families of those young masters.
Bai Shicheng's father Bai Yishan, Jiang Yichen's father Jiang Zhijie, Han Renjie's parents, Han Yuehua's brother and sister-in-law, the eldest son of the old Duke of England, the current Duke of England Han Chuan and his wife...
The fathers or mothers of more than a dozen young masters came in aggressively, with unhappy faces.
Including Han Yuehua's brother and sister-in-law, they looked at Han Yuehua with great dissatisfaction.
The Han family has their own connections in the military, so Han Renjie didn't need to follow Zhao Chenhan to quell the rebellion. It was only to help Zhao Chenhan that Han Renjie went with them.
As a result, after just a few days, all the members were captured, which almost made Han Chuan and his wife die of anger.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let Renjie go with them." Han Yuehua's sister-in-law said angrily.
Han Yuehua couldn't refute and could only smile.
Han Chuan coughed lightly and said, "Alright, there's no point in saying more now. Yuehua asked us to come. Do you have a way to rescue them?"
Everyone looked at Han Yuehua.
Han Yuehua said, "I do have an idea. The commander of the Left Yulin Guard, Xu Zhong, has already asked for help from Feng Siyuan, the governor of Jiujiang. However, Feng Siyuan is a member of the eunuch party and may not be fully committed. So I want everyone to come forward together and force Feng Siyuan to send troops."
Han Chuan pondered, "As the governor, Feng Siyuan can mobilize the provincial army, but the strength of the local army is worrying. Even the Zuo Yulin Guards are no match for them. Can they do it? I think we should mobilize the regular troops nearby."
"No," Han Yuehua objected immediately. "This rebellion was suppressed personally by His Majesty. If regular troops are deployed, it will prove that the rebellion has failed. You don't want your children to suffer in vain and gain nothing, do you?"
"It's better to suffer in vain than to lose your life." Jiang Zhijie said.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Lord Jiang, calm down. At this point, we can only maximize our interests, right? If we send regular troops, firstly, we'll need His Majesty's order. Secondly, the round trip would take too long, and things could easily go wrong. Thirdly, if the rebels use this as a condition for surrender, the troops we send will surely agree. Wouldn't the children's suffering be in vain?"
Bai Yishan asked: "Can you guarantee their safety?"
"I can't guarantee it completely." Zhao Mingzhu said calmly, "But wealth and honor are achieved through risk. As long as everything is fine now, everything will be fine in a short time, right?"
Everyone was silent.
Mrs. Han Chuan suddenly spoke up, "Qingzhou Prefect Zhao Lin has made many military achievements, is close by, and has the responsibility of suppressing bandits and rebellions. Why not ask him for help?"
Zhao Mingzhu's tone faltered, and Han Yuehua continued, "Zhao Lin has always been at odds with Han'er and hates him. If we ask him for help, we don't know whether we'll be saving someone or killing them."
Everyone nodded.
They all knew about the discord between Zhao Lin and Zhao Chenhan. Zhao Chenhan, who was originally known as the elegant young man, felt like he had met his natural enemy when he met Zhao Lin, and was always suppressed by Zhao Lin.
Everyone also knew that Zhao Chenhan led the troops to quell the rebellion this time. He could have gone to other places first, but he went straight to Jiujiang Province, obviously wanting to compete with Zhao Lin.
The result is still not as good.
