Su Hui lowered his head. He seemed to know that he had done something wrong, but he had no regrets.
"You know the tragic situation of Ling'an City best. If you give them the remaining twelve cities, then there will be twelve Ling'an cities. Have you calculated how many people will die tragically? How many people will be displaced? You said they did not destroy the whole country? Rong's ambition can be fed to them thirteen cities, and their appetite will only get bigger and bigger. Next, they will want the south of the Yangtze River, the six states in the Central Plains, and the three states in the north of the town. If we step back, we will step by step. Retreat, have you thought about this?"
Su Hui was silent for a long time and said, "I have thought about it."
"Then why..."
"Can't beat it."
What Su Hui said was so straightforward that Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment.
"Just because you can't defeat Bian Nan's army doesn't mean that others can't defeat them either." Yan Mu came out from the darkness with a cold look on his face, "Su Hui, it's in vain that you are a veteran general. After more than a hundred large and small battles, you were actually defeated. The people of Southern Jin are scared out of their wits, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Su Hui did not look up at Yan Mu, but turned around and kowtowed again.
"Your Highness, the general has committed a serious crime. Please be punished severely."
"It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, your fault is that you are cowardly! If a general is afraid, then his soldiers will also be afraid. Your Bian Nan military camp no longer dares to go to the battlefield and cannot hold up the spear in your hand!"
"Please, Your Highness, disband our Bian Nan military camp and let them all go home."
Remember URL
"what are you saying?"
"All sins will be borne by one person."
"Can you, can you afford it?"
"Instead of being slaughtered by the Southern Jin people, it is better to linger for a few years." At this point, Su Hui sighed deeply, "Your Highness, if you had seen that battle with your own eyes, you would know that my words are not depressing words, but facts. .”
Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, not to mention that Su Hui had no fighting spirit and obviously didn't even want to live.
"Go and receive your punishment!"
"yes."
Su Hui went out without saying a word. Yan Mu held back his anger, but couldn't help it and kicked the stool in front of him.
Liu Yunxiang sighed: "It's useless to be angry. What we have to do is to raise the fighting spirit of General Su and the soldiers of the Bian Nan military camp, and then unite the troops of the other twelve cities, maybe it is possible to fight against the Southern Jin Dynasty."
"And that chariot." Zijin thought for a moment and said, "We have to make more powerful weapons to deal with it."
Yan Mu thought for a long time, then turned to Feng Zheng and said: "I will write a letter to you, and you will take it to Zhenbei tonight and hand it over to General Wei personally."
"But I still have to protect you and the Crown Princess, can't anyone else?"
"No, this matter is important, and I cannot trust anyone else."
Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, probably guessing what he was going to do. To deal with the meat-grinding chariots of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Zhenbei had a secret weapon that even the imperial court didn't know about.
Feng Zheng left the military camp that night, and Vice General Li sent two soldiers to lead him out of the miasma forest.
Su Hui was beaten thirty times in the military tent. After all, he was too old. He fainted in the middle of the beating. Finally, he was carried to his tent by the soldiers.
Just when Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu were about to stay, Vice General Li reported that Su Hui was about to hang himself, but fortunately, he was saved in time by their patrolling soldiers.
After hearing this, Yan Mu's face turned pale, he got up and went to Su Hui's military tent.
He was lying on the bed, his back was wet with blood. He asked the attendant and said that he would not let the military doctor come to treat his injury. At this time, he was groggy, counting a piece of hemp rope in his hand.
"I am guilty...sinful..." he whispered.
Yan Mu stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You are determined to die, but why don't you have the courage to fight the Southern Jin people again?"
"Your Highness...the last general...has betrayed the trust of all the soldiers..."
"If you feel guilty about those soldiers who died, shouldn't you regroup and avenge them?"
"Can't beat..."
"They also have one nose, two eyes and one mouth. They are also human beings. How can they not be defeated?"
"The last general..."
"What's your problem?"
Su Hui lowered his head and said nothing, slowly closing his eyes.
Yan Mu took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Your Highness, General Su ordered the deserter to be released."
"Um."
"He has always loved his soldiers. The last time 30,000 soldiers died, it was a huge blow to him."
"Is there no other reason?"
Vice General Li hesitated for a moment and said: "When the Southern Jin Dynasty attacked the city, there were only 30,000 people, and our Biannan military camp had 50,000 people. General Su felt that this battle would be won and they would not be able to break the city, so he did not evacuate the people. But. What we didn't expect was that they only took five days to break the city, and then the whole city fell into a melee, and the soldiers and the people were slaughtered together. General Su had no choice but to withdraw his troops, and some people escaped with us. But more stayed in the city, including General Su’s family.”
"So General Su's family is still in Ling'an City?"
"They are in the hands of the Southern Jin people."
Yan Mu took a deep breath, so in order to protect his family, Su Hui secretly went to Shengjing with the envoys of the Southern Jin Dynasty to meet with the emperor.
Su Hui fainted, and Yan Mu asked Vice General Li to find a military doctor to treat his injuries.
The next day, Yan Mu came to Su Hui's military tent.
"General Su, I have sent people to Zhenbei. Soon Zhenbei will send tens of thousands of troops to support you, Bian Nan."
Su Hui smiled bitterly, "It's just ten thousand sheep."
"Whether it's a sheep or a wolf, General Su will know when they arrive. The king and the princess will enter the city today. Firstly, they will prepare for the peace talks. Secondly, we will find a way to rescue your family."
Hearing this, Su Hui suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Mu, "Your Highness..."
"We are going to save your family. The only thing you have to do is to cheer up. Only if you rekindle the fighting spirit can the soldiers rekindle their fighting spirit. We and the Southern Jin Dynasty will definitely fight again. The men of Da Rong are all bloody. Even if we fight to the death of every soldier, we will never give in an inch of ground."
Su Hui looked at Yan Mu and felt that his words were too light, but he wanted to believe them. However, he has seen the ferocity of the Southern Jin people. If he confronts them head-on, he will only die more.
"General Su, man can surely defeat heaven, let alone a native of the Southern Jin Dynasty."
After saying that, Yan Mu turned around and walked out.
They had already learned about the situation in the Bian Nan Military Camp, and it was far worse than they imagined. With peace talks imminent, it was time for them to enter the city.
"Uh, His Highness and the Crown Princess are going to the city in disguise?" Vice General Li asked.
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Well, let's go into the city and have a look inside."
"But the city gate is closed. If you want to conceal your identity, how can you enter the city?"
"I think those Southern Jin cavalry will catch the women who escape. We can sneak in."
"Then Your Highness..."
Yan Mu glanced at Lieutenant General Li, then took his clothes and went behind the screen. After a while, a woman dressed simply but with extremely beautiful appearance walked out.
Liu Yunxiang laughed out loud when he saw Yan Mu's attire: "You actually compare yourself to me, but aren't you too eye-catching with your appearance?"
