Quick Transmigation: Good Man Series 2 [201-400]

The Treasonous General 2

"My oldest son is strong, and only 17 years old this year. He hasn't married yet and left a son and a half-daughter. It's all because of your grandson that he died! He didn't even leave a corpse. If you have any face to plea for leniency, you can give me my son back."

An emotionally married woman solely felt that smashing eggs and vegetable leaves were not enough. She snarled and cursed at the Yan family's womenfolk, and tried to speed through the blockade of the outermost layer of soldiers, and rushed to argue with Old Madam Yan.

"And my family's son-in-law. My daughter is with three children, one of whom is still crying piteously for food. The pillars of her family have collapsed! This family is impossible to make a living! The traitor must pay with his life."

The commoners around obviously moved emotionally. More and more people tried to break the blockade. They could not move that main culprit for the time being, but they had to let this group of ignorant women and children, who still tried to threaten His Majesty and let that sinner be released, to get retribution.

"Old Madam, take your husband's people back. His Majesty won't see you."

The commandant of the Imperial City was once the subordinate of Venerable General Yan. He always fully respected the Yan family. Now it was Yan Chu who made a mistake, and he did not want the Yan family's womenfolk to be involved.

Right now, it seemed that His Majesty had no intention to condemn the Yan family's womenfolk. For Yan Chu's mistake, it was an extrajudicial kindness! If you angered His Majesty now, you did not know what the ending it would be!

Now it was the time of the highest public resentment. More than 30,000 high-ranking military officers had died because of Yan Chu this Lord's mistake in leading the troops.

In the past few years, the Three Kingdoms of Zhou, Ming, and Jiang had been recuperating, and everyone minded their own business[1] until now. Yan Chu, who initially stationed in Bianzhou, took the initiative to attack the border town of Ming. Although the military strength of Ming was now hollow, the overall force of Ming's capital was far superior to Zhou. Where could Zhou bear to offend?

Strange to say, not knowing if Yan Chu had a good leader, under circumstances his military strength was still less than that of Zhou, the two countries even fought equally, and even occasionally, Yan Chu won a few matches.

It was a pity that the royal family of Great Zhou was afraid. They actively proposed peace to Ming and feared that Jiang, who eyed covetously[2], and the Great Zhou's emperor offered to cede ten cities of Bianzhou. Dreading this war would continue, and there would be more than 30,000 high-ranking military officers dead and injured.

It would have been an unacceptable warrant to the foreign military. If something went wrong, Yan Chu's barbarian move might not resolve fitly, but it was distressing that his secret correspondence dealings with Jiang found from his camp account. All of a sudden, it was like attacking a difficult task resolutely[3]!

It was a strange thing that he suddenly led his troops to attack Ming. But when this matter connected with Jiang, it was effortless to explain. Fearing that Yan Chu was bought by Jiang long ago, he did not know about it. When he led his troops to attack Ming, he would lose the nation's power on both sides. Wouldn't Jiang's side gradually become stronger by then?

Bianzhou used to be the territory of the Yan military family. If he concealed everything well, perhaps that inside the capital, the war would not be detected until the war was out of control. Fortunately, Yan Chu's Lieutenant General, who at present bestowed a title as the General of Cavalry, General Fu Cong, made prompt decisions to imprison Yan Chu with his trusted aides. He immediately ceased-fire and sent someone to the capital to pass a message. Only then the situation stopped to worsen.
