The warning letter was circulated among a core group of subordinates.
Then everyone looked at each other and seemed to be able to see the confusion in each other's eyes.
Except for a few people with clear minds who were consistent with Zhao Kaishan, the rest of the people didn't realize that this was a letter asking for help.
Is this a request for help?
Chen Qiaoshan and Li Xiao only saw that Su Yonglin was warning Zhao Kaishan, telling him to be careful, saying that the Jin Army had begun to counterattack, and the enemy must come from more than one route.
Zhao Kaishan should be especially careful about enemies coming from the direction of Yanzhou, pay attention to the defense of Yizhou, attack Yanzhou if necessary, seize the city, and defend the city to deter the Jin Army's logistics supply line and not let the Jin soldiers penetrate too deep into the hinterland of the Liberation Army.
At the same time, we must also be careful not to rashly engage in field battles with the Jin army. We should mainly focus on defending the city, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
Zhao Yucheng didn't see much that Su Yonglin was asking for help. He only saw the four words "Be careful" on the paper, telling them to be careful of the Jin army's counterattack.
However, perhaps everyone was too smart, so they all pretended not to understand Su Yonglin's true meaning, followed Zhao Kaishan's wishes, and agreed that this was Su Yonglin's "cryptic" message for help.
Su Yonglin couldn't help but ask for help, so she had to beat around the bush.
So Zhao Kaishan began to discuss with everyone how to support Su Yonglin.
Zhao Xiang had never dealt with Su Yonglin, and he was not willing to save him at this time. He wanted to give him a severe blow so that he could vent his anger and make himself smoother.
"Commander, I thought that Su Yonglin didn't even want to ask for help. He was obviously lucky and couldn't save his own face. For this kind of behavior, we can wait until he can't support it anymore before going to support him. That would Better."
Zhao Xiang took the initiative to propose.
Zhao Kaishan frowned and looked at Zhao Xiang.
"This is not a trivial matter. Don't bring your personal grudges to official business. If something happens to Yu Ting, how can we get through it? If any party of the Liberation Army suffers a setback, it will not be a good thing for us."
"That's what it says, but the leader, Su Yonglin, didn't explicitly mention one of his requests for help at all, which shows that he thinks he can still hold on. In this case, it's better to let him give it a try and see if he can win.
If he didn't have that ability and was hurt by the gold thief, his next letter would definitely be more sincere. When the time comes, the commander-in-chief would send troops to help, which would be a renewed favor to him. That favor would be greater than the favor he receives now by sending troops to help. Much. "
Zhao Xiang's statement was agreed by some people, and these people thought that what Zhao Xiang said was reasonable.
This made Zhao Kaishan think deeply.
Indeed, what he did to Su Yonglin before made him feel a little guilty, and he felt a little sorry for Su Yonglin, which made him very uncomfortable. If he could take this opportunity to sell a big favor to Su Yonglin, the previous things would be wiped out. .
Helping him when he is in the most critical situation can also get the most gratitude and the greatest benefits. Maybe he can take this opportunity to intervene in the military affairs of the three states under Su Yonglin's jurisdiction.
Isn't that wonderful?
Zhao Kaishan gradually came up with some ideas of his own.
At this time, Zhao Yucheng spoke with dissatisfaction.
"When friendly forces are in trouble, this is the time when we should do our best to help. As the commander said, if General Su's troops are overturned, wouldn't it be a good thing for us? Without General Su to resist the gold thieves in the north, would you still be able to survive? Do you want to sit here leisurely?"
Zhao Yucheng was outspoken and very dissatisfied with the fact that this group of people had to play tricks in times of crisis, so he directly protested.
Zhao Xiang was directly refuted by Zhao Yucheng and felt unhappy.
"Yucheng, I am also thinking about the leader and the entire Liberation Army! Don't misunderstand me."
Zhao Yucheng was even more dissatisfied.
"Does the consideration for the commander-in-chief and the Liberation Army mean that we should not save him until we die?"
"When did I say I would not save you until death?"
Zhao Xiang was angry: "Is Su Yonglin dead? Is he okay if he doesn't live? I just said to let him suffer a little before rescuing him. It's better to give him help when he needs it, than to add icing on the cake. Don't you understand this, Yucheng?"
"Do we have to help each other in times of crisis? We both belong to the Liberation Army and the Anti-Golden Rebel Army, how can we have such sinister thoughts? If something happens, we will regret it! Uncle Liu, I firmly disagree! You don't Go, I will go! Father, son, please fight!"
Zhao Yucheng couldn't restrain his sense of justice in his heart, and confronted Zhao Xiang tit for tat, and asked for a battle to support Su Yonglin.
Zhao Kaishan was a little unhappy.
He turned to look at his son who was trying to fight with a heroic look on his face. He originally thought that he would be very happy that his son had such courage and courage to take on the responsibility, and did not show any stage fright in the face of the Jin army's attack. But when things came to pass, Zhao Kaishan found that he was not what he had imagined. So happy.
The relationship between Zhao Yucheng and Su Yonglin was a bit too good, so good that no matter what happened, as long as it was related to Su Yonglin, he would stand by Su Yonglin's side, speak for Su Yonglin, and think about Su Yonglin in everything.
The two have only known each other for a short time, and their official contact has only been a few months since the uprising. How come their relationship is so good?
Is Su Yonglin's charm that great?
"Father! My son invites you to fight!"
Zhao Yucheng asked Zhao Kaishan again.
Zhao Kaishan took a deep breath, frowned and shook his head.
"Not urgent."
"Father!"
"Sending troops requires timing! We also need to prepare military rations! Do you think it is that easy? Send troops when you say to send troops? Who will transport the military rations to you? Who will pay you the military pay? Who will prepare the weapons in the hands of the soldiers? Don't mess around!"
Zhao Kaishan reprimanded Zhao Yucheng, and Zhao Yucheng suddenly didn't know what to say.
War naturally requires logistics. Without logistics, what kind of war would be fought...
Zhao Xiang sneered, cupped his fists and said: "What the commander said is reasonable. Although we have many troops here, most of them are recruits who have not been trained and reorganized. They cannot play a big role. We need to do more training and clarify the organization, and then Only then can we fight.”
Zhao Kaishan nodded.
"These words deeply resonate with me, so be it! If the Shengjie Army is really in danger, of course we will send troops to help, but not now."
After saying that, Zhao Kaishan stood up and left the conference room gloomily.
After the meeting, Zhao Yucheng was also unhappy.
He remembered that he and Zhao Kaishan and his son had never been able to talk about going together in recent days, and he felt very depressed, so he wrote to Su Yonglin, telling Su Yonglin his depression and asking Su Yonglin if he wanted help.
If necessary, even if there is no military order, he can bring his own cavalry team to help.
Although the strength is a little small, I will never be afraid of life and death, and I will not associate with those who are afraid of life and death!
This letter was only seen when Su Yonglin returned to Tai'an Prefecture on July 11th.
At the same time, Su Yonglin's victory report was also delivered to Zhao Kaishan.
At almost the same time, news of the accident in Jiagu Asu's troops reached Dongping Mansion through the fleeing Jurchen soldiers, and was learned by Yelv Chenghui.
Su Yonglin returned to Tai'an Prefecture and learned that Zhao Yucheng had written a letter to him. He took it seriously and opened the letter and read it immediately. After reading it, he realized that this was an act of a depressed child confiding his concerns to himself and asking for help.
After thinking about it, Su Yonglin replied in person.
Su Yonglin told Zhao Yucheng that as he had said before, even if the elders did make mistakes, he should not have any conflicts with them. It would not be good for him. He was a young man, and conflict with his elders would only lead to a reputation of unfilial piety.
You should be appropriately forbearing and don't conflict with your elders for your own sake. If you are unhappy or confused about something, you can write to yourself. You can give him relevant suggestions. Although it may not solve the problem, you are willing to listen. He confided.
By the way, Su Yonglin also told him that he had won the battle and that the direction of Tai'an Prefecture had been stabilized. There was no problem. On the contrary, their side was facing a more severe test. If necessary, he would write immediately and he would lead troops to help.
Such a reply that was thoughtful of Zhao Yucheng and supported him from his standpoint. When Zhao Kaishan went south from Tai'an Prefecture, Zhao Kaishan learned at the same time that Su Yonglin had won the battle and that the Jin Army was marching towards Yizhou. .
In fact, it’s hard to say whether this is a happy event and a sad one, or a misfortune.
Logically speaking, it was a mixture of joy and sorrow, because after all, the battle was won.
But for some reason, Zhao Kaishan always feels that this is a misfortune that never comes singly.
