Chapter 371: Army Siege+1
Qin Chongyi's outer room was thrown upside down by him. This little brat, she really underestimated him!
She actually thought of asking her to give up her son to that old godmother, let her son call that old godmother his mother, and let that old godmother be her birth mother as a aunt for the rest of her life. The dog doesn't bark!
She was so angry that she wished she could vomit three liters of blood and spray the opponent to death, but the others were moved by this shameful suggestion that would most allow the two opposing parties to shake hands and make peace.
The senior officials of the Qin family who originally supported Wu's mother and son increasingly believed that this former young master was the hero who could lead them to a higher position. Some people even secretly planned to wait for the crisis to pass. How to promote this person to the position of the Lord of the Qin Clan again.
The senior executives of the Qin family, who were originally on the opposite side of Wu's mother and son, thought to themselves, this is really a brilliant idea that will benefit them without any harm.
First of all, the Wu family has many supporters within the Qin family. It is indeed wiser to win over the Wu family than to oppose her. Anyway, Wu's current son is not her own son. As long as she can ensure her own status, she doesn't have to go all out to fight for the interests of her adopted son.
Secondly, the Wu family is indeed more sensible and considerate of the overall situation than Qin Chongyi's concubine. If there must be a "Queen Dowager" standing behind the young master, then they would prefer that the "Queen Dowager" be the Wu family.
The last and most important point is that Qin Chongyi's outer room is obviously restless. With most of her energy involved in Wu Shi, Wu Shi and her can't spare their hands to dictate the right things. Then they can take advantage of it. The young master is young, coaxing him to listen to himself more?
The small calculations in his heart were crackling, but on the surface, this group of people was persuading Qin Chongyi's outer room to "keep the overall situation in mind".
The people in his own camp defected in an instant, and Qin Chongyi felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his outer room.
She quietly pinched her son, who was already dumbfounded, when she was not prepared. The child immediately started crying and shouting "I want my mother" after receiving the signal from the mother.
He cried and made a fuss, which directly caused this proposal that everyone thought was very wonderful to be temporarily put on hold.
No one knows, this is actually what Wu wanted.
She doesn't want to shake hands with the mother and son to make peace at all now, even if it's only temporarily, she doesn't want to suffer from this uselessness anymore.
As for her confidantes who are in charge of guarding the city, she has already informed them of her plan and greeted Xie Yuan in advance. Now she is not worried about her subordinates at all.
All she has to do now is wait until Xie Yuan's army reaches Jinyang, the headquarters of the Qin family.
As long as the Xie clan captures Jinyang, these annoying intrigues will come to an end.
She would like to see if Qin Chongyi, that foolish fool who thinks he is smart, will still be as confident as he is now.
While secretly praying that the Xie family would come to Jinyang soon, the Wu family began to sort out the officials and guards of the remaining prefectures and counties of the Qin family.
She wanted to help them take over other counties on the other side of Jinyang with the least cost after joining forces with the Xie Clan's army.
The reason why he is so active and working so hard is because Xie Yuan has already sent a letter to Ye Anlan, giving the highest instructions on the placement of Wu's mother and child.
He said that he would not only reuse Wu, but also reward her for her merits. As long as she has enough credit, Xie Yuan said, he can even grant her a Marquis.
What Xie Yuan thought was that he would confer a title on Ye Anlan anyway, and according to Wu's merits, he would also confer one on Wu's. Isn't this just a matter of convenience.
But it was the first time that Wu Shi, who received Ye Anlan's letter, was recognized in this way. For the first time, the person she chose to assist did not fear her, did not hate her, but was willing to give her corresponding credit and objective evaluation .
The thing he wanted fell into his arms suddenly, and Wu couldn't help crying secretly and wet several veils.
The maid who didn't know the inside story thought she was worried about Qin's future, and scolded the mother and son three times in her heart.
Compared to them, the officials and generals of the Qin clan who received news again that the Xie clan had already conquered five cities during their dispute clearly expressed their dislike for Qin Chongyi's concubine.
Even those who were originally on the side of the mother and son, most of them felt disgusted with Qin Chongyi's concubine.
You must know that all their glory and wealth are based on the strength of the Qin family and their stature. Now that the Qin family is about to finish playing, it's no wonder they are not in a hurry.
But at this moment, they realized that they were anxious, but it was too late to consider the overall situation. Just when they joined forces and were going to directly negotiate terms with Wu's son-in-law, in order to push him to the top in exchange for more glory and wealth for themselves , Xie's army suppressed the situation and surrounded Jinyang into an isolated city.
This group of people was dumbfounded. They never expected that the Xie family's army, which was separated from them by a city, suddenly appeared outside Jinyang City when they were completely unprepared.
Although it was only a county with very few troops, it took almost a day just to travel from that county to Jinyang.
Not to mention that Xie's army still came from another county town they had newly conquered, passed through the county town closest to Jinyang, and then came outside Jinyang.
Together these two sections of road, even if it is a rapid march, it will take at least eight hours.
But Xie's army only took less than four hours. How did they do it?
What these people don't know is that the Xie's army that besieged Jinyang actually came directly across the mountains and slanted in. They were not the group responsible for the siege at all.
The so-called divine soldiers descended from the sky, but they made full use of the surrounding terrain and the psychological blind spots of the Qin leadership.
The army of the Xie Clan, Wu Ya, was guarding outside the city, and the atmosphere of the Qin Mansion inside the city was solemn.
Qin Chongyi's outer room unconsciously walked back and forth in his own room, "What should I do? What should I do? The messenger can't leave the city. There must be no reinforcements in a short time, and Jinyang's troops are seriously insufficient. We."
The maid who came to invite her and her eldest son pretended not to hear the woman's mutterings, and only relayed the words of Qin Chongyi's staff to the woman.
Qin Chongyi's outer room was like waking up from a dream. She held her son's hand and hurriedly brought him into the meeting hall.
The other people who had already quarreled were busy expressing their opinions, and no one noticed the appearance of the mother and son. On the contrary, Mrs. Wu, who had been watching coldly, immediately discovered Qin Chongyi's outer room who was afraid and panicked, but forced himself to be calm.
She lowered her brows and eyes, pretending not to see the mother and child.
Beside her, Qin Chongyi's son she raised had exactly the same expression and attitude as her aunt.
These two people have now changed from "taking care of the overall situation" to "whatever they want to do". Anyway, things have developed to this point, and this group of people is already powerless to turn the situation around, so why should they follow in vain?
