Yan Qixiao looked at Zhang Yongwu and said, "General Zhang, why don't you say anything? You are the Deputy Privy Envoy and have rich experience in fighting against Ye Ge. You must have a lot of experience to share with everyone, right?"
How dare Zhang Yongwu be so high-profile?
In the past, when generals gathered together, they would be domineering and bragging.
Now I don’t dare.
His son Zhang Meng died in Northern Xinjiang, so why should he pretend to be a big shot?
The eight patrons were also banned.
At this moment, you must be honest.
Zhang Yongwu said modestly: "How can a defeated general be brave?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Yongwu.
Very surprised.
No one expected that Zhang Yongwu would be so humble.
This is really the first time for a big girl to sit in a sedan chair.
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "General Zhang's words are wrong. As the saying goes, one learns from every experience! General Zhang lost his pants here in Yege, so he must have gained a lot of experience. General Zhang, please Don’t hesitate to teach me, and be sure to share my experience with you.”
Everyone couldn't hold back their laughter and started talking about it.
"Not to mention, Zhang Yongwu really lost his pants during this Northern Expedition."
"A lifelong shame."
"Zhang Meng, that scourge, is dead."
…
Zhang Yongwu felt so aggrieved.
But he didn't dare to prick: "Master Yan, deep down in my heart I am ashamed and ashamed, I dare not speak nonsense, I dare not speak nonsense."
Yan Qi did not expect Zhang Yongwu to be so low-key.
He is completely different from the arrogant and domineering person he once was.
The more this happened, the more suspicious Yan Qi felt.
A person's nature is difficult to change unless he deliberately disguises it.
Zhang Yongwu was clearly pretending on purpose.
The less trouble, the better?
What a beautiful thought.
The corner of Yan Qi's mouth traced a strange arc, and he slapped the chair hard: "General Zhang, Northern Xinjiang and our party, you have lost your beloved son. Deep in my heart, I feel sad for General Zhang. Moreover, because of the battle in Northern Xinjiang, , let Zhang Yongwu suffer a defeat, and it is difficult to protect him in his later years. Is this the hero's twilight years? No, absolutely not!"
Zhang Yongwu watched Yan Qi complaining about him, and his heart skipped a beat: It's broken, it's broken, this little thing is going to make use of the situation.
Zhang Yongwu quickly said: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! I don't care about victory or defeat, not at all. Master Yan, please calm down quickly."
How can Yan Qi calm down?
He was just about to use the topic as an excuse.
Yan Qi became more and more angry as he spoke, and waved his hands fiercely: "General Zhang, there is an old saying that goes well, where you fall, you get up. Losing once is nothing, then keep on fighting until you win. ."
"ah?"
Zhang Yongwu was confused: "No, no, no, let's fight until we win? Master Yan, listen to me..."
Yan Qi dropped the command arrow: "General Zhang, listen to the order."
"Listen...obey the order?"
Zhang Yongwu's heart skipped a beat: "What order are you listening to?"
Yan Qidao: "As the privy envoy, I order you to lead an army of 200,000 to the north again to face Ye Ge."
"What?"
Zhang Yongwu was so frightened that his body shivered as he looked at the command arrow in his hand.
Yan Qidao: "General Zhang, a thousand years of fame can be achieved in one fell swoop. If General Zhang can defeat Ye Ge this time, he will be able to avenge his past humiliation and avenge your son! Moreover, I will ask you for the credit and seal it." You are the general of Shangzhu Kingdom."
Zhang Yongwu's mind was buzzing.
Listening to Yan Qihua's big cake, he was confused and stiff, not knowing what to do.
"I...I will go on another northern expedition?"
Yan Qi nodded: "Yes, you see, how much I trust General Zhang. Although you lost the first time, you lost miserably and even lost your pants."
"However, I know that General Zhang's strength is definitely not so frivolous. Last time, it was the Eight Kings who got in the way, preventing you from having a chance to display your military talents!"
"This time, you have full command of the battle, and there are no constraints anymore. I believe you can definitely defeat Ye Ge and win a great victory, right?"
Yege turned pale with fright: "No, no, no, I won't go, I won't go to the Northern Expedition."
Yan Qi's face darkened: "General Zhang, you actually refused my kindness?"
Yege was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled?
kindness?
This is obviously a desperate plan.
If he really agreed to Yan Qi's Northern Expedition again, he would be destined to go but not to come back.
Facing the brutal Yege, how could he have the strength to fight?
What's more, Ye Ge is now in full swing and his momentum is at its peak.
During the last Northern Expedition, his son was killed by Ye Ge.
If he didn't know how to advance or retreat this time and made another northern expedition, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Nowadays, there are only these 200,000 people left among the Eight Kings.
If they were taken to Northern Xinjiang and were cut and chopped by Ye Ge, how many would come back alive?
If he really gets to that point, even if he is not killed by Ye Ge, he will be chopped alive by the Eight Kings.
Zhang Yongwu was not a fool. He was so frightened that he quickly returned the command arrow to Yan Qi: "Master Yan, it is difficult for me to obey my order, but it is difficult for me to obey my order."
"Huh? You actually disobeyed me?"
Yan Qi's face darkened: "General Zhang, I asked you to go on the Northern Expedition. Firstly, I gave you a chance to make up for your mistakes. Secondly, it was also my military order. You actually gave me an excuse to obey the order? Okay, you dare to disobey the military order?" What crime should be committed?"
Plop!
Zhang Yongwu was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground: "Master Yan, please forgive me. Master Yan, please forgive me."
The generals were talking a lot.
"General Zhang, Master Yan gave you a chance to take revenge, but you refused? It's really unbelievable."
"Yes, Master Yan's kindness is truly appreciated by us. Please continue with the military order."
"Master Yan took great care of General Zhang, and even entrusted him with important responsibilities regardless of past grudges. However, General Zhang refused to accept the olive branch extended by Master Yan. This is so chilling. Alas..."
…
Listening to the generals praising Yan Qi and blaming himself, Zhang Yongwu felt so aggrieved that he really wanted to kill him with a piece of tofu.
Yan Qi is so bad.
I was obviously asked to die, but in the eyes of others, it seemed to be for my own good.
Zhang Yongwu knelt on the ground, tremblingly holding the command arrow high in front of Yan Qi: "Master Yan, I am not refusing, listen to my words, listen to my words."
Yan Qi snorted coldly: "Okay, you go ahead and I'll give you a chance to argue. If you can't tell me Ziwu Maoyou, then you are resisting the decree, and I will definitely punish you."
Zhang Yongwu said: "Master Yan, I don't want to go to the Northern Expedition anymore. It's not because I'm timid, but because I can't bear the brutal slaughter of Dahua soldiers."
"oh?"
Yan Qi frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
Zhang Yongwu said: "Yege is cruel. Moreover, Yege has fought with me many times and already knows my tactics."
"If I lead my troops to fight against Yege, I will definitely lose my troops. It is not a pity if I die, but all the soldiers and soldiers will also die in the northern border. How hopeless and worthless this death is?"
"I, Zhang Yongwu, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I also want to avenge Zhang Meng, and I also want to keep the evening festival! But, can I let the blood of countless soldiers stain the battlefield just because I avenge my son? No. Ah, can I let countless soldiers die for the sake of my reputation? Not even possible."
"So, after much thought, I absolutely cannot go on the Northern Expedition for the sake of countless soldiers."
