Chapter 566 is too cruel!

"Qingping, they said if you don't come back, they will kill us. Kill our whole family."

"Qingping, what happened? Why did you choose to rely on outsiders?"

"You are a member of the Shen family. The blood flowing in your body is the Shen family's. You cannot let down your ancestors and humiliate them."

"Qingping, please come back soon. I really can't stand it anymore."
-
When he spoke the last part, he burst into tears and became hysterical.

It can be seen that Ji Yunfeng is on the verge of collapse.

She couldn't stand this kind of life anymore, she would rather die
It would be even better if I could survive.

The scene switched and a man's face appeared.

At first glance, Shen Qingping almost failed to recognize that the man in front of him was his biological father.

He was dressed in rags and had unkempt hair.

His face was ashen, his eyes were devoid of any light, and he looked like a walking corpse.

Is this still his father Shen Anyuan, who wears a suit and ties every day, drives luxury cars and models, controls the family's billions of wealth, and can cause an earthquake in the entire business circle with a stomp of his feet?
Shen Qingping knew that because of his choice, his parents would be harassed and retaliated against by the family.

However, when they really appeared in front of him in such a miserable state
Shen Qingping still felt severe pain in his body and mind.

It hurt so much that even my body started to tremble slightly.

"Qingping." Shen Anyuan's voice was hoarse, as if there was a fire burning in his throat: "I know you have your own difficulties."

"You have grown up and can take responsibility for your own life."

His voice was choked, but he tried hard to force a smile on his pale face.

"Your mother and I. Don't worry."

Snapped!
The screen ends.

Obviously, Shen Anyuan's words did not meet those people's requirements.

"Commander." Lu Zhiyong wanted to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

Other people's parents and family members were kidnapped and taken hostage, what can I say? ——
"Are these General Shen Qingping's parents? They were kidnapped?"

"Did the Shen family do this? Shen Wuxiang is so shameless"

"With such a broad mind and such means, you still want to be the emperor? Ugh"

"General Shen is about to die. Should we save him or not?"
-
This video file was being transmitted to various leading generals through public channels, and also appeared in front of Tang Fei.

After reading it, Tang Fei's face became gloomy.

"You need to talk to Shen Qingping as soon as possible." Phoenix spoke up.

His father being taken hostage would definitely affect Shen Qingping's mood.

It may even affect his decision.

Shen Qingping was the commander of this siege and the person in charge of the "Yellow Bird" operation.

If his emotions change, it will have a huge impact on the progress and outcome of the entire plan.

It's possible to turn the gun on them.
After all, they are my biological parents.

Therefore, Fenghuang hoped that Tang Fei could have a chat with Shen Qingping immediately to calm the mentality of this main general.

Tang Fei pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Not suitable."

He couldn't take the initiative to find Shen Qingping, let alone comfort or persuade him.

What was he going to say?
"Your parents have been arrested. Let's not fight this war anymore."

How can it be?

If they withdraw their troops for this reason, what will become of the efforts and hard work of countless people before? What will become of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers?
If this trick works, whoever I choose as the commander, Shen Wuxiang will tie up his parents and family and send them to the battlefield. How can we fight this war?
It would be better to surrender early and wait for death.

The outcome has already been determined, failure is inevitable.

'Work hard, take Fengcheng, take Liyugang.
We will definitely avenge your parents.'

You should never say such things.

Shen Qingping fought bloody battles on the front line for him, but he called to persuade others to sacrifice their own family for the sake of the overall situation.
what is this?
No matter how reasonable and realistic what you said is, how would Shen Qingping feel after hearing it?
Isn't this just planting thorns in people's hearts?
Phoenix was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the subtlety.

He glanced at Tang Fei in surprise. Did he think of all this in an instant?

They watched the video at the same time, and it took less than a minute for them to react from the time they proposed to the time they rejected it.
I understand politics better than he does, and he understands human nature better than I do.

"What should we do?" Phoenix asked, "Do nothing?"

"For this matter." Tang Fei rubbed his hair irritably and said, "Shen Qingping still needs to make the decision himself."

"This is too cruel for him."

"Yes, it's too cruel." Tang Fei nodded.

People always say "One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people", what if those who suffered were your own parents or family members?
How many people can bear it? How many people can accept it?
Tang Fei looked at the Chief of Staff Xun Pu beside him and asked, "Does everyone know about this?"

"Yes." Xun Pu nodded and said, "They were video files transmitted through the public channel. We did not deliberately intercept them."

"Well, this kind of thing cannot be concealed. There is no need to hide it." Tang Fei nodded and spoke out.

Now that this matter has become known to everyone and there is a lot of discussion about it, Shen Qingping is under a lot of pressure.
-
"Sir, everything has been done." Shen Annan walked up to Shen Xinglan and bowed.

Shen Annan is a member of the Shen family's side branch. He was arranged to join the Shen family's direct line of troops, the Immortal Army, for training early on. He rose step by step due to his merits and mainly due to blood ties. Now he is the battalion commander of the Dragon Battalion. The Dragon Battalion is the spearhead battalion of the Immortal Army. Every soldier in it is a cultivator, and they are cultivators at the level of Ruyi Realm.

Shen Wuxiang has been in control of the Military Commission for many years. In the name of the country and with the power of the entire people, he has given all-round support to the Dragon Camp, helping them with packaging and upgrading.

Select the best talents, the best generals, give them the best food, the best supplies, the best training conditions, and the most advanced equipment and firepower.

When the dragon gets angry, the land will be scorched for thousands of miles.

The battle of Longying was never defeated.

Mysterious and powerful.

"In the military camp, we should just address them by their official titles." Shen Xinglan said expressionlessly.

"Yes, General." Shen Annan said respectfully.

Although he was the battalion commander of the Victory Battalion, he still felt guilty when facing Shen Xinglan.

As everyone knows, this huge empire will belong to him from now on.

"They didn't intercept?" Shen Xinglan asked.

"No." Shen Annan spoke loudly, as if he was reporting to his boss. He held his head high, his back straight, and said, "We sent the video through the public channel. With their technical means, they can completely intercept it."

"But not only did they not block it, they also chose to click and play it. According to the data, they have 1,200 sources of playback."

"Now this video is not only being spread in Red Moon City, Golden City and the bandit army, but is also spreading to other areas of the empire."

"The information team thinks it will spread to most cities in the empire in about half an hour. With each additional source, there will be a massive spread."

"How could they be willing to intercept it?" Shen Xinglan smiled sarcastically and said, "If we release the video, won't that be exactly what they want?"

"General, what does this mean?" Shen Annan asked puzzledly.

Aren't they putting pressure on Shen Qingping by releasing the video?

It's up to you to decide whether to fight or make peace.

He lost both his parents in the war and was branded as an unfilial person.

If they want to make peace, they have to change their ways and return to the embrace of the Shen family.

In order to please the bandit army, you chopped off General Wang Botao's head as a token of your allegiance. Now, it's time for you to atone for your sins.

What can you do for Shen's?

It's easy to go out, but it's hard to come back.

"We are forcing Shen Qingping to make a choice. Those people have the same idea. My cousin thought he had met a wise leader, but in fact, he was not considered one of their own. They deliberately did not intercept him because they wanted to make this known to the world."

"In order to discredit our Shen family, they even spared no effort to target our own family members."

"Second, they criticized us for our despicable tactics. On the battlefield, taking the enemy commander's parents and family members as hostages would be condemned by others."

"The third and most important point is that they want to use us to block Shen Qingping's return."

"If we kill Shen Qingping's parents, will Shen Qingping hate us? There's no need to talk about going home."

"If we don't kill Shen Qingping's parents, what deterrent effect will such a high-profile action have? If we start strong but end weakly, we will be ridiculed and make those people lose their fear."

Shen Annan suddenly realized and asked, "Since the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, why do we still do this?"

"This move is not only for Shen Qingping, but also for stabilizing the domestic situation."

"Domestic situation?"

"As the bandit army launched a massive attack, some people began to think about other things. There were many people who were watching and speculating, and there was no telling how many people were betting on both sides."

"In this case, when will great things be accomplished?"

"For example, the Sheng family?" Shen Annan instantly thought of a major event that happened in Phoenix City recently.

"The Sheng family is just one of them. A big tree attracts the wind, so we have to knock them down first."

"There are countless people who secretly cheered for the bandit army and provided them with money and property. The former princess made a call and the lord of Golden City surrendered the city."

"It is said that Red Moon City Lord Wang Dao and City Guard General Zhu Jian are also secretly in collusion with them. Otherwise, how could the protective shield be removed so easily?"

"Moreover, the army in the city was defeated in one blow. After the city was captured, Wang Dao and Zhu Jian not only did not go to jail, but were also highly valued by the bandit army."

"Of course, the other city lords and generals all saw this. They all thought, if we can fight, we will fight. If we can't win, we will surrender and offer the city. In this way, how can our army still have the fighting power?"

"So, the general is doing this to intimidate the other heroes? To stabilize the domestic situation?"

"Yes." Shen Xinglan nodded and said in a deep voice: "We don't even let our own traitors go. If others do such a thing, they will only die."

"Those who speculate and watch, those who bet on both sides, those who buy money and materials, and those who surrender and offer their cities are our enemies and traitors to the empire."

Shen Xinglan's voice was as cold as ice, and he said ruthlessly: "All the traitors should be killed."

"General, you are wise." Shen Annan clasped his hands together and bowed.

"Has everything been arranged?"

"General, everything is ready. We can launch the attack at any time."

"Don't worry." Shen Xinglan looked up at the boundless sea outside the window and said softly, "I believe he will make the right choice."
