Chapter 228: Exchange conditions (add more)
Chapter 228 Exchange conditions (addition)
Leaving Wei Zhen and the two former officials who followed the logistics team from Mengshan to guard and manage Wenshang, Ye Anlan took Yang Xiaotao and marched straight to Pei County.
The night she arrived in Pei County, Shi Rong "kidnapped" a large number of young princes and openly joined Ye Anlan's camp.
Wan never thought that his only son would turn his back on him at such a critical moment. After Shi Rong's father got the news, he was so angry that he sprayed his step-wife all over his head and face with old blood.
His stepwife was escorted by his cousin, and finally joined Shi Rong's father, but Shi Rong's father lost Jeju because of her cousin, and he only wanted to hold him accountable.
Afraid that the woman who let Shi Rong gain the upper hand would naturally not sit back and watch her natal family suffer, she insisted that the reason they had to escape from Jeju in a hurry was because there was a traitor in the Jeju army, and this traitor also had a relationship with Shi Rong's father, It is related to Shi Rong who is very dissatisfied with her and her natal cousin.
As for who the traitor was, she chose to fabricate it casually. After all, those prominent generals in the Jeju Army are all dead, and Shi Rong's father has nowhere to start even if he wants to investigate.
She made up the story in a decent way, but Shi Rong's father, after hearing what she said, only thought that she made it up on purpose out of desperation, in order to drag Shi Rong into the water and prevent Shi Rong from gaining the upper hand.
However, he didn't know that although his stepmother was indeed making up things, and the personnel and so-called evidence were all pure fabrications, the scapegoat she blamed on Shi Rong by her nonsense should have belonged to Shi Rong in the first place. Rong's_(:з」∠)_
He judges others by himself, thinking that Shi Rong will definitely not give up this great river and mountain, and hand over his huge family business that will most likely be inherited by the young master Shi Rong in the future, but he doesn't know that Shi Rong and him are not the same at all. Humanoid.
Shi Rong has no interest at all in the country and hegemony that he loves most. He just wants to protect his grandparents' family and repay their dedication and dedication to him for more than ten years. take care of.
If Shi Rong's father hadn't come to threaten him, Shi Rong wouldn't have even returned to his father's side and made false claims with him, and naturally he wouldn't have confronted those Yingyingyanyans around him.
If this is the case, Shi Rong's maternal grandfather's family will not become Shi Rong's so-called "weak underbelly", so that he can only rack his brains to find ways to preserve them, even at the expense of his father's half-life foundation.
Shi Rong's father judged others by himself and misjudged Shi Rong. Naturally, he did not expect that Shi Rong could really regard power and status as dust. So even though his stepmother kept blowing the pillow wind, he still didn't cast doubtful eyes on Shi Rong.
His carelessness and arrogance gave Shi Rong an opportunity. Overnight, the eldest or second sons of several important staff members under his command were "kidnapped" by Shi Rong and sent to Ye Anlan.
Early the next morning, Shi Rong's father had just learned the bad news from his staff, and Ye Anlan had already sent all the young men brought by Shi Rong to the front line.
Shi Rong's father hated Shi Rong so much that he gritted his teeth, so naturally he didn't mind whether Shi Rong was dead or alive. It could even be said that he now wished that Shi Rong would be killed by Ye Anlan and hacked into pieces, but those generals and officials under his command , but they still value their own sons.
They were worried about their son's safety, and at the same time, Shi Rong's move gave them a decent chance to surrender, so that they didn't have to continue fighting Ye Anlan for the sake of reputation when they knew they were invincible.
Of course, they would not express the latter thought and the secret joy they felt in front of Shi Rong's father.
In front of Shi Rong's father, each of them has a tangled face with a heart of loyalty to the king and a heart of fatherly love.
Although Shi Rong's father is an **** when it comes to matters between men and women, his brain is still very good. Xiao Jiujiu, a general and official under his command, actually has a clear mind.
But what can he say? Forcing these people to give up their sons?
Although he disliked his son in every possible way, he knew that his subordinates had completely different attitudes from him on this matter.
It's not that they don't take concubines to raise their sons, but they have always respected their first wives, and they have spent the most effort in cultivating their first sons.
For them, their legitimate sons represent not only the continuation of their blood, but also the successors they carefully taught, and the future of their respective families.
For them to be willing to give up the legitimate son that they spent a lot of effort and resources to cultivate, Shi Rong's father doesn't think that he still has this ability.
He has come to the end of the road, but Ye Anlan, who Shi Rong has defected to, is gaining momentum.
He was sure that as long as he dared to make the decision to abandon those children, his subordinates would immediately turn their heads and vote for Ye Anlan, that country girl with peace of mind.
Rubbing his aching forehead, Shi Rong's father said in a deep voice: "Someone ask that country girl what she wants, and how she is willing to return those children to us."
One of the generals whose son was "kidnapped" immediately responded "Yes". He is different from those guys who raised many concubine sons and concubine daughters. He only has one wife and one son. His son is the eyeball of him and his wife. son.
In order to save his son, he doesn't care about whether Shi Rong's father will be unhappy or suspect that he has the intention of surrendering to the enemy.
He trotted out of Shi Rong's mansion, then rode his horse straight to the city gate.
The defenders at the city gate quickly learned from him the latest order from Shi Rong's father, and after a while, the soldiers on the city wall began to shout at Ye Anlan and the others.
Hearing what they were shouting clearly, Ye Anlan was also called back as it was.
Yang Xiaotao was in charge of this matter, she raised her voice, and answered Shi Rong's father's question loudly, "We want this county town of Peixian, as long as you retreat a hundred miles away after leaving the city, we will release you immediately. "
The general who hurried out to deliver the message felt a little bit in his heart.
His lord had only three cities left, including Pei County, but now Ye Anlan asked him to exchange Pei County for these children. To be honest, the general didn't think his lord would agree.
He went back to report with one ten-thousandth hope, but sure enough, Shi Rong's father did not immediately agree.
Of course, considering the mood of everyone under his command, he didn't dare to refuse immediately.
Those who were angry or anxious, or worried, or had other plans, no one knew that Ye Anlan didn't expect Shi Rong's father to agree at all.
For a person who has no affection for his own son, Ye Anlan doesn't believe that he can understand other people's love for his son.
