They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 184 Overriding

Many things appear to be stable on the surface.

However, Xu Risheng is someone who can see the big picture from all angles.

It is easy to understand that most of the time, just one change is enough to disrupt the whole situation.

Just like this time, Xu Risheng knew very well that if the Yanhuang Army did not take action, his chances of winning would not exceed 30%.

Because he had never imagined that the soldiers in Wanhai City would not recognize their generals at all.

What was even more unexpected was that He Kuangshan, a man with no reputation, would not act impulsively.

Instead, they opted for a defensive, turtling style of play.

The more they retreated into their shells, the lower their chances of winning.

In Xu Risheng's view, the only option now is to go all out and directly confront the troops in Wanhai City head-on.

Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to ask for help.

Of all the people in the world, only the Yanhuang Army could support him.

While Xu Risheng was thinking this, he secretly sent out the letter.

……

On the edge of Wanhai City lies Feixia Town.

Feixia Town appeared to be under strict guard, but in reality, no one had imagined that it had become the territory of the Yanhuang Army.

Even the men sent by Marquis Sinan Su Changsheng could only stay outside the city.

But Feixia Town appeared peaceful, especially with Su Xuan present.

The fact that the eldest son of the Marquis's mansion was unharmed and carefree made no one suspect that this place had anything to do with the Yanhuang Army.

No one knew that there were now five thousand Yanhuang soldiers in Feixia Town.

Of course, most of these 5,000 Yanhuang soldiers were recently trained privates.

A considerable portion of them even rose from the ranks of Chi You's army.

At critical moments, battles can break out at any time.

Therefore, Su Luo has also ordered that the entry requirements for the Yanhuang Army be appropriately lowered.

Of course, this is only a temporary status, and the benefits enjoyed are also temporary.

To enjoy the identity of the Yanhuang Army in the long term, one must make meritorious contributions in war.

Similarly, nowadays, getting promoted in the military is no longer just about training results.

We also need to look at battle records and achievements.

Those who directly became privates due to their training results could not afford to slack off.

Because maintaining one's status requires a foundation of combat achievements.

In Su Luo's words from his previous life, he set a KPI for the Yanhuang Army.

But this system, on the contrary, made the soldiers even more motivated.

Zhang Daqiang is leading 5,000 Yanhuang soldiers, but not all of them will be deployed to Wanhai City.

He will only lead two thousand men as the vanguard to charge into the enemy ranks.

The other three thousand were there to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Who knows, the imperial court might even send more troops to support them!

Although Ye Changfeng has already put the Mo family under control at the Qingzhou General's side.

It's unlikely that troops will be sent over anytime soon.

The affairs of Wanhai City and Feiyun City are limited to Linshui County.

However, don't forget that Linshui County is adjacent to the border...

There's also a group of border guards.

At certain times, Su Changsheng could mobilize these troops.

He just hasn't used it yet. If he's really pushed to the limit, then he'll stop caring about anything.

The border guards are fierce in combat.

Moreover, the number of people is not small. In addition to the existing tens of thousands of people, Su Changsheng can mobilize more than 10,000 people.

So Su Luo has been preparing, in case things really come to a head, she'll fight Su Changsheng to the death.

Thinking of this, Zhang Daqiang couldn't help but mutter, "The young master's ambition is truly vast..."

“From the very beginning, his focus was never solely on Yunhai Town.”

"All along, his vision... has been farther than we imagined."

Zhang Daqiang only realized this after Su Luo went to Wan Hai City alone.

It's possible that Su Luo didn't really take either Shuiyun Town or Wanhai City seriously.

These are all just part of the plan.

"Son..."

"From the very beginning, I was aiming for the title of Marquis of Sinan."

Zhang Daqiang stroked his chin, his brows furrowing deeply. "However, the young master said... Xu Risheng's people will come begging to us!"

"But now that they've all been brought along, we haven't seen them come begging to us!!"

"If they don't beg us... does that mean we shouldn't send troops?"

This is a very serious question.

At this moment, Han Yan walked over, his eyes filled with excitement.

He should have stayed at Langya Mountain this time, but he wanted to come and participate in this battle.

So, after thinking about it, Su Luo agreed.

He was transferred from Langya Mountain.

Han Yan looked at Zhang Daqiang and cupped his hands in greeting: "Commander, when will we send out our troops?!"

"I heard that the advance of Xu Jiajun in Wanhai City has run into problems."

"It seems that Wanhai City is planning a protracted war."

"If we let them continue like this, the imperial court will surely send troops to support them."

"At that time, even if we only prepare two thousand soldiers as the vanguard, we probably won't gain any advantage even if we send five thousand men up together."

This time the action.

The commander-in-chief was naturally Zhang Daqiang, while Han Yan was the deputy commander.

Han Yan had been observing the situation in Wanhai City, so when he saw an opportunity, he immediately came over.

Zhang Daqiang sighed and told him what Su Luo had instructed.

After listening, Han Yan immediately frowned:

"Young Master... you can only send troops after the Xu family army requests reinforcements?!"

"Isn't this too harsh? What if the other side doesn't send troops...?"

On the battlefield, things can change in an instant.

If Xu Risheng really didn't ask for help, or rather... had no chance to ask for help at all...

So, does that mean the Yanhuang Army won't launch an attack?

Wouldn't that be a waste of a great opportunity!

Thinking of this, Han Yan shook his head again, "No, no..."

Zhang Daqiang looked at Han Yan and asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Yan said very seriously, "All the preparations that you have made are for the Yanhuang Army to attack Wanhai City."

"However, the young master also said that he would wait for Xu Risheng to request help..."

"That's not right. If it were the young master's personality, he would only do it if he was 100% certain."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an absurd decision..."

Zhang Daqiang couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, and nodded: "Sure, Han Yan!"

"I never imagined that in such a short time, your understanding of the young master... would be no less than mine!"

In fact, Zhang Daqiang and Han Yan thought about roughly the same thing.

Although waiting for reinforcements to arrive before sending troops is, strictly speaking, a very absurd thing.

But if this is what Su Luo is thinking...

This only shows that, on the one hand, Su Luo was certain that Xu Risheng would definitely ask for help.

Su Luo's control over the overall situation has always exceeded everyone's expectations.

On the other hand, waiting for Xu Risheng to request reinforcements before sending troops would maximize the benefits for the Yanhuang Army.

Either of these points can calm the two anxious people down.

They awaited the arrival of the opportunity that Su Luo had mentioned.

The words have not yet fallen.

A hurried voice came from outside, "Commander! Commander!"

"A secret message has arrived from Wanhai City!"

As he spoke, a soldier hurriedly walked in, carrying a letter.

After Zhang Daqiang took it, he immediately opened it and took a look.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw the contents of the envelope.

"As expected, the young master is still the young master..."

"That's absolutely prophetic!"

Han Yan's eyes lit up, and he became slightly excited: "Commander Zhang, is it Xu Risheng who has requested reinforcements?!"

Zhang Daqiang nodded and handed over the envelope.

After reading it, Han Yan sighed repeatedly, "That's amazing!"

"Young Master's control over the overall situation is simply beyond our imagination..."

"Young master, how can you be so powerful?!"

Prepare in advance.

They also predicted that Xu Risheng would ask for help.

This doesn't feel like a war, it feels like a game...

Both of them were already blindly worshipping Su Luo, but when they saw Xu Risheng's letter asking for help, their eyes lit up.

In his mind, his respect for Su Luo was like that for a god.

Even if there were gods, they probably couldn't do that!

……

At the seaside, Su Luo held a wild fruit she had picked from the mountain.

He hadn't eaten it, worried it might be poisoned, and looked at Ye Qingyou, who had a concerned expression: "What's wrong?!"

"Brother Luo, why aren't you worried at all?!"

Ye Qingyou said, "It's been three days! The Xu family army... the rebel army and Wan Haicheng have been locked in a stalemate for three days!"

"The imperial court's support is probably coming soon!"

"If the imperial court's support arrives, the Xu family army will definitely be no match for them, and the rebellion will fail!"

"The people of Wanhai City are going to return to those miserable days!"

As Ye Qingyou spoke, she sighed repeatedly: "In fact, this rebellion in Wanhai City will involve tens of thousands of people..."

"Therefore, they suffered inhuman torture!"

"Brother Luo, what exactly did they do wrong? Why are they being treated like this?!"

"They just want to live, why is that so difficult?!"

"These high-ranking officials and powerful families... why don't they examine whether they themselves have any problems when the people are rebelling..."

Ye Qingyou gritted her teeth, utterly perplexed.

Su Luo calmly said, "I don't know..."

Ye Qingyou was taken aback, not expecting Su Luo to give this answer, and her eyes became even more puzzled.

"Brother Luo, did I say something wrong?"

Ye Qingyou looked at Su Luo.

Su Luo looked at her, then squeezed the wild fruit in his hand, and said, "No, you didn't say anything wrong, you just asked a good question..."

"I don't know why officials of the court, powerful families, and even the imperial power... why the people are forced to rebel, yet they don't reflect on their actions..."

"They don't think it's their problem..."

Su Luo looked at the fruit: "It's like I don't know whether the fruit in my hand is poisonous or not!"

"But I do know..."

"If I'm hungry, I have to eat, no matter if it's poisonous or not!"

After saying that, Su Luo casually tossed the wild fruit into the sea, letting the waves carry it away.

Ye Qingyou glared at him: "Brother Luo, didn't you say you could eat a lot?"

Su Luo chuckled, "I mean, I'll eat when I'm starving!"

"I'm not hungry right now, what am I supposed to eat?!"

"Let's go!"

Ye Qingyou sighed, "Where are we going again?"

She just couldn't understand how Brother Luo could be so skilled in martial arts, and also someone who wanted to rebel!

Why take her sightseeing at this most crucial time?

Instead of doing your job?

Could it be that her initial judgment was wrong?!

This Brother Luo isn't an adventurous person at all!

impossible!

If that's the case, then when Xue Hai was assassinated... Brother Luo, there was no need for you to help kill Xue Hai!

Su Luo looked at her, "Didn't you want to go to Wanhai City to help those rebellious people as much as you could?"

"You don't need to help them, just help me!"

"You'll stay by my side!"

Before Ye Qingyou could react, she saw Su Luo walk forward!

A moment later, her delicate body suddenly trembled. "Brother Luo, do you mean... you're going to the battlefield?!"

Su Luo didn't speak, but just smiled slightly.

Keep going!

Ye Qingyou's voice came over, "Brother Luo, with your skills and abilities, you'll definitely become a general once you go to the battlefield..."

"When we help the Xu family army successfully rebel, the imperial court will definitely send someone to offer amnesty. I will help you get better terms..."

A pardon?!

Isn't that just being a dog of the imperial court?

Su Luo is not Song Jiang, and he has no interest in this matter... He only wants to be above this vast territory!

……

"General, it's been three days!"

Inside Xu Jiajun's camp, the anxiety on everyone's faces could no longer be suppressed.

"Our troops have only advanced less than three hundred meters... What are we going to do?!"

"Although we don't lack food, our people are not trained soldiers; most of them are ordinary civilians..."

"They can't take it anymore being in a war all the time!"

"If we wait any longer, I'm afraid that before any conflicts arise in Wanhai City, conflicts will start to emerge on our side!"

Listening to the sounds around him, Xu Risheng's expression remained perfectly calm.

Three days have passed, and the old excuses are obviously no longer valid...

The morale of the troops was in turmoil!

However, Xu Risheng had no other choice!

Looking at everyone, he said in a deep voice, "Yes, I knew this would happen..."

"So, we do need to wait, but not really wait for internal conflicts to break out among the troops in Wanhai City..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Risheng in disbelief.

They trusted Xu Risheng completely, but they never expected that he would deceive them on such a crucial matter...

Furthermore, if it's really a lie, then just keep lying forever!

This way, they can still have some hope and won't be completely desperate...

But now, they've been told... it was all a scam!

"General Xu, how could you do this?!"
