Stewie frowned and looked at the letter and sword on the table.

The letter was sent by the old steward of the family. This is the servant of the Shi family. He is forty-three years old this year and has been a slave of the Shi family for forty-three years. Since he was a child, the old steward has carried Shi Dewei everywhere on his back. In terms of loyalty,

No doubt about it!

The sword is Shi Kefa's personal sword. This sword is a family heirloom of the Shi family. It has been with Shi Kefa for three generations. It was originally intended to be a family heirloom and passed down to Shi Dewei.

"My father really asked me to surrender to the Liao army?" Shi Dewei still glanced at the old steward Shi Fu in confusion.

"Young Master! There is nothing we can do about it. Zhou Shoufu has fallen. As you know, our master has always been close to Zhou Shoufu. The new Mr. Wen Ge doesn't like to see our master and makes trouble for us all day long. Even us

These servants are often bullied.

There have been people in Jinling impeaching the master these days, and Mr. Wen Ge finally took action four days ago. Fortunately, our master is very popular, and someone tipped him off. Then the master took his sword and asked the slave to come to the young master. Since the court is interested in

If we are unkind, we can only be unjust to the court." Shi Fu stood opposite the desk and bowed his head to reply, his words filled with hatred for Wen Tiren.

"Don't talk nonsense. How is my father? Could it be that he was captured by those bastards from Xiaoling Guard?" Xiaoling Guard blocked the Yangtze River two days ago and seemed to be looking for a big shot along the river. These things,

Shi Dewei still found out from the supply camp.

"When I was leaving, the master said that he wanted to go via Suzhou and then look for an opportunity to cross the river. The master seemed to have been in contact with people from the Liao army, and asked the young master to find someone named Li Yongfang to contact him. He also said that Chen Fu would

In Zaozhuang, you just need to send someone to Taierzhuang and do what the letter says."

"You go down first and don't talk to anyone about this matter."

"No! Master, you have to hurry up. If someone comes from the imperial court, just...!"

"I know! Get down!" Stewie waved his hand impatiently.

He was aware of the changes in the imperial court. His father's backer Zhou Yanru fell and Wen Tiren became the chief minister. His father's position as Minister of War must have been affected, but he did not expect that Wen Tiren was so ruthless and wanted to kill his father.

But think about it, this is normal. My father is the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Nanjing Forbidden Army was founded by Shi Kefa. If such a person is allowed to live... If one day this guy rises to the top and makes a call, then Wen Tiren's position as the chief minister will really be in doubt.

Well. Politicians are the ones who nip threats in the bud. A master of Wen Tiren's level will naturally not let go of such a big threat as Shi Kefa.

"Li Yongfang!" Shi Dewei picked up the letter and took a look at it, chewing on the name.

Shi Dewei hesitated all afternoon with this letter. Defection was a big deal and he had to be careful. Jinling was far away from Xuzhou, so it was impossible for him to know the news about Jinling at any time. But old Shi Fu took out the Shi family heirloom sword and added

There are also letters from my father. It is true that Wen Tiren is the head of the imperial court, which reminds me of Xiaolingwei’s unusual movements...!

Just when Shi Kefa was still hesitating, the guard captain walked in with a pale face.

"Young Marshal, Shi Fu is missing."

"Gone?" Stewie didn't understand what he meant.

"After dinner, Shi Fu said he was going to pay homage. We waited at the door of the hut for a long time but no one came out. When we went in, the person disappeared."

"Flying?" Shi Dewei's eyes widened, and now Shi Fu was actually gone.

"Well……!"

"Look for it, hurry up and look for it. I don't care how many people you use, and I don't care what you do. Find them for me. See them alive, see them dead. If you can't find them... don't come back either." Stewie

Veins are popping up on my forehead!

Although the Xiaoling Guard has not developed for a long time, its power has not reached the level of the Jinyi Guard. But in this important town of Xuzhou, there are also semicolons. Could it be that those brats smell something? Shi Fu is too important. If

Once it falls into the hands of Xiaoling Guard... the consequences will be disastrous.

Shi Dewei did not think that Shi Fu could withstand the cruel punishments of Xiaolingwei.

"Will Shi Dewei really come?" Cao Wenzhao stayed in Taierzhuang, drinking with Li Yongfang. It was almost dawn, and Li Yongfang had no intention of sleeping. The three divisions had all gathered in Taierzhuang, and the first division was also heading to Zaozhuang.

Hurry. The Second Division has completed its assembly in Jinan and can go south today.

The army gathered, and the commander suddenly ordered not to fight. Instead, Li Yongfang was sent to say that Shi Dewei would surrender. How could this be possible? Why would someone want to surrender before the battle started?

"It will definitely come!" Stewie replied with a smile.

At midnight last night, I received Shi Dewei from Xuzhou. Li Yongfang knew that Shi Dewei had no choice.

The urgency of time prevented Stewie from continuing to hesitate because he had no time.

Sure enough, before the morning star had risen, Cao Wenzhao got the order from the guards and people from Xuzhou came.

Cao Wenzhao was already surprised that someone could come, but he was even more surprised when he learned the name of the visitor. It was actually Shi Kefa's younger brother, Shi Kecheng! The appearance of such a heavyweight was definitely not a joke.

The corner of Li Yongfang's mouth curled up, and as expected, an important figure was sent out. As the corrupt man knew, this Shi Kecheng's ability was mediocre. In the Jiangnan Forbidden Army, which the historian had the final say, he was just a staff member. But his identity was very important.

Specially, he is Shi Kefa's biological brother and Shi Dewei's biological uncle. Now he comes...!

"Please!" After saying please, Li Yongfang had a drink with Cao Wenzhao, who was a little confused.

"I've seen two generals, but I don't know which one is General Li Yongfang." The guards brought in a scholar-looking man and saw the two men bending down to salute.

"Who are you……!"

"Shi Kecheng, who was born late! Shi Kefa, Minister of the Ministry of War, is officially my brother." Shi Kecheng was born with a fair complexion and a gentle manner. He was a little nervous when he saw Li Yongfang and the fierce-looking Cao Wenzhao. His throat kept twitching, and he probably almost swallowed all the saliva.

"Oh! It turns out to be Mr. Cheng. Sorry! Sorry! I don't know what you want when you come to Taierzhuang, Liao Army, this early in the morning!" Li Yongfang smiled.

Li Yongfang, who can even handle Nurhaci, has read countless people in his life. He is a mule or a horse, and he can get a general idea without pulling him out. The Shi Kecheng in front of him looks like a nerd at first glance. Shi Dewei sent him here, it is really

is a mistake.

But who can come? If you don’t send his uncle for such a confidential matter, who else can you send?

"Uh...! I want to discuss with General Li the matter of my nephew Dewei's surrender."

"General Shi has tens of thousands of troops, can he really listen to General Shi and surrender?" Li Yongfang looked at Shi Kecheng jokingly.

The eyes of Cao Wenzhao next to him were about to fall off. He surrendered without a damn need to fight. Although the Nanjing Forbidden Army suffered a loss in the early stages of the battle, they still had tens of thousands of elite troops in Xuzhou. In the past two days, they were preparing equipment.

Although they were lagging behind, they fought vigorously with the forwards of the third division, causing casualties on both sides.

This means surrender... just fucking surrender?

"When the old age came, my nephew had already killed Liu Jie and more than ten famous division leaders. Now there are five divisions in Xuzhou, with more than 50,000 people, all under the command of my nephew."

Li Yongfang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Shi Dewei was also such a decisive person. He was indeed Shi Kefa's son! However, the uncle in front of him was a bit uninterested. He stood in front of him and stammered. If he really yelled,

Throat, this guy can scare you to death.

"Okay! Now that General Shi has the situation under control, I will order all of your Nanjing Forbidden Army troops to leave the city. After putting down their weapons, enter Shandong territory."

"Put down your weapons?" Shi Kecheng was also a little shocked. When a soldier puts down his weapons, it means letting others slaughter him.
Chapter completed!
