Inside the big tent of the Hedong military camp.
Everyone gathered here and after hearing the report from Wei's troops, they were shocked and their faces turned green.
"I was wondering why the Wei family was so kind to provide information. It turns out they were also planning to take over the granary!" Fourth Master Fan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
The Hedong Army and the Cheng'an Army just wanted food to survive the disaster, but the Wei family asked for a huge amount of food, and asked for the entire granary!
If they hand over all the food, what do they want?
The Fan family will never agree to this!
"Who do the Wei family think they are? They have an army of 100,000 on their side. How can they be so confident that they can win just by saying they can?"
"We are the ones who do the work, and we are the ones who pay for the food. The Wei family really has a good plan!"
The Dou family also cursed in front of the Wei family's troops.
Only the Gong family remained silent.
Liu Lang brought his men into the fortress. They thought this was a deal between Liu Lang and the Wei family.
If this is true, then wouldn’t the Gong family be the one to benefit in the end?
The King of Hedong and the King of Cheng'an, who were sitting at the top, had sullen faces. It was obvious that they had not expected that Wei would suddenly do this.
Especially Yuan Jing, he learned from his sister that Wei Wuniang came to Sizhou to look for her family, and accidentally ran into the Shifang Sect when passing by Qichuan, and was forced to get involved.
He was caught off guard when he suddenly asked for an entire granary.
His fiefdom is in Sizhou. Like the three major families, he has no place to retreat. If he is defeated, the next target of the Shifang Sect will definitely be Hedong State.
Guo Xiu stood beside his own prince, his eyes became very strange, he was thinking, what method did Wei Wuniang have to turn the situation from defeat to victory?
There are 100,000 troops outside. Even if Cao Mingyuan is killed at this time, the army cannot withdraw.
Prince Cheng'an was originally furious, but seeing the two families stamping their feet in anger, he could only hold his temper and ask the Wei family's followers, "Who is the head of your family?"
Such a major matter naturally needs to be discussed face to face.
What does it mean to just let the guards come over and pass on a message?
The guard replied calmly, "The one in charge is our clan leader."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.
"Mr. Wei is here?"
Upon hearing that the person behind the incident might be Duke Wei, everyone's expressions became very complicated.
Only Yuan Jing and Guo Xiu gasped.
Others may not know, but they know.
How could it be Duke Wei? He only has Wei Wuniang from the eldest son's family.
But the two did not think that far. They just thought that Wei Wuniang was acting in the name of her grandfather and deliberately bluffing people.
The Wei clan's followers didn't explain, but bowed respectfully and said, "The clan leader has said that as long as you are willing to hand over your granaries, we will definitely help you win this battle. Your Highnesses, please rest assured that the clan leader has agreed to provide the food needed by both armies afterwards, but there is one condition."
Upon hearing this, the people present had different expressions.
The expressions of the Dou and Fan families changed drastically.
King Cheng'an's expression eased slightly. To him, it made no difference whether he asked for food from the three major families or from the Wei family. As long as he was given food, it would be fine.
And you can win the battle and get away with it safely, so why not do it?
His attitude changed instantly. "What conditions?"
"The clan leader said that for Your Highness, it is just a small matter that can be easily accomplished. Your Highness will definitely agree. As for what it is, I don't know." The Wei family's followers continued to answer.
Hearing this.
Jiang Xun and Xiao Cheng beside him looked at each other and said nothing.
"The clan leader would like to do Your Highness a favor." The soldier silently took out a letter from his arms, raised it with both hands, lowered his head and respectfully handed it to King Cheng'an.
Prince Cheng'an had a strange look in his eyes, but he said nothing. He took the letter but did not open it in public.
Seeing that he had agreed, the other families had a bad feeling and turned their eyes to King Hedong.
The Hongnong Alliance Army was originally forced to form a temporary alliance. If the King of Hedong also defected, the two vassal kings plus the Wei family, and the Gong family with an unclear attitude, then this granary...
The thought of being left alone to face an army of 100,000 made the Dou and Fan families feel utterly devastated.
The situation is stronger than people, and they have no control over it.
Yuan Jing would naturally agree. Wei Wuniang promised so readily, which was obviously more to his liking than those aristocratic families who were reluctant to do so. In addition, with the war coming, there would be food and foreign aid. It would be strange if he didn't agree to such a good thing!
As for the conditions, we will discuss them after we defeat the enemy.
He was about to speak.
An urgent report came from outside: "Report!!! The enemy has entered Qichuan territory and is rushing towards the border!"
Everyone sitting in the big tent had a solemn expression on their faces.
King Cheng'an snorted, "The situation is critical. The Ten Directions Sect can only rush here in two or three hours. Will you give it to me? If not, I will..."
Before he could finish his words, the Dou and Fan families gritted their teeth and responded, "Give it! Sizhou cannot be lost!" They had no way out.
The Gong family breathed a sigh of relief.
………
In the secret passage of Gongjiawu Fort.
"Girl, aren't you afraid that they will turn against you later?" Gong Chun looked at her sideways with an expressionless face.
The Gong family was one of the three major families. Not only did they lose their granary, they also lost their fortress.
Not only was the granary gone, but the fort was also immediately razed to the ground.
And the biggest winner was standing right in front of him.
"After seeing the power of the little black balls, do they dare? Aren't they afraid that if I get angry, a few little black balls will burn the granary to ashes? Then no one will want it anymore."
Seeing him like this, Wei Xiyin finally felt better and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm not a selfish person. It's impossible to move all the food back to Yizhou. I will give food to everyone if they want it, but the premise is that you help with the work."
