Wang Lie and Bei Yan explained the situation to each other and immediately understood the urgency of the matter.
Not daring to delay, not to mention taunting the other party with private affairs and public affairs, he rushed to the city without stopping.
What they have to do is report to Gongsun Kang as soon as possible.
He galloped all the way and quickly arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion.
When I went to the lobby, I saw that Gongsun Kang was still pacing back and forth in the room, waiting.
It's almost dawn, and there's been no rest all night!
Wang Lie and Bei Yan were not stupid, and they could tell at a glance that they were expecting them to win.
As a result, it becomes even more shameless to face it.
The whole army was wiped out?
Didn't you bring back even a grain of food?
How should I say this?
Wang Lie and Bei Yan looked at each other in unison, wanting each other to speak.
The result is naturally that there is no possibility of negotiation.
Both sides are determined not to make any concessions.
During this gap, Gongsun Kang discovered the two of them.
"General Wang, General Bei?"
"Are you back? Come on, come in!"
Gongsun Kang was very enthusiastic, with a smile and hope on his face.
This made the two of them even more ashamed.
But the situation was urgent, and the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.
"Two generals, how about a sneak attack on the Han army's grain and grass camp?"
"this..."
The two of them hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Not only that, but he also lowered his head in shame.
Gongsun Kang's heart skipped a beat.
"So...we were defeated?"
Despite this, Gongsun Kang was still very calm.
The reason is simple and can be expected.
The two of them went to sneak attack with 10,000 men who were not even considered soldiers. Only if they could defeat them would they be lucky.
For Gongsun Kang, this is a trial without loss.
Of course it’s good if you win, but it’s no loss if you lose.
Success saves 10,000 mouths to eat, why not?
"Please ask Mr. Zhou Mu to punish you!"
Wang Lie and Bei Yan's movements were highly consistent, and they knelt down at the same time to apologize.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like it was agreed upon.
Gongsun Kang did not blame him for this, but instead helped the two of them up.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists! Don't worry too much!"
"It doesn't matter if we lose this battle. As long as the two generals are fine, Honshu Mu will feel at ease!"
Wang Lie and Bei Yan's eyes were full of gratitude and emotion. They never expected that Gongsun Kang was so enlightened!
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou Mu!"
Gongsun Kang nodded and patted their arms.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Wang Lie sighed softly and decided to speak in person.
To prevent you from talking nonsense and distorting the facts.
"Lord Zhou Mu, this is what happened..."
From the beginning to the end, everything I saw was spoken.
It was almost the entire process of leaving Xiangping City and returning to Xiangping City.
The reason why he talks about it in so much detail is because Gongsun Kang was so benevolent.
Wang Lie simply could not bring himself to deceive such a benevolent monarch!
But he didn't expect that Gongsun Kang's smiling face gradually disappeared halfway through the story.
When I heard that the two fortresses were attacked by the Han army at the same time and were very likely to be captured, I almost went crazy.
"What! You two losers! What does the Honshu Mu want from you!"
The insult came too suddenly, leaving Wang Lie and Bei Yan stunned on the spot, unable to control themselves.
The confused eyes almost showed that the two of them could not understand the insult.
However, Gongsun Kang's insults did not stop there.
"Trash, trash, it's all trash!"
"Ten thousand troops robbed food, but were burned to the point of leaving no trace of armor. What a waste!"
Gongsun Kang's breathing was rapid and his chest kept rising and falling.
He was really pissed off.
In fact, they are not afraid of the dead. What they are most worried about are the two fortresses.
"You two say, what to do with the fortress!"
"Without the fortress as a support, what should Xiangping City do?"
"The Honshu Mu is really crazy, so he listened to your nonsense and asked you to sneak attack the Han camp!"
Wang Lie and Bei Yan were speechless.
Are they willing to go?
They don’t even want to come to Xiangping!
If Gongsun Kang hadn't issued the death order, they would still have stayed in the fortress without fear of the Han army.
Now something happened, they were defeated, they were surrounded, and the blame falls entirely on them. Why?
"Lord Zhou Mu, this matter is definitely not our fault!"
Wang Lie changed his tone and took away all responsibilities.
Bei Yan also nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, sir, it has nothing to do with the two of us!"
Bei Yan never refuses anything that is beneficial to him, even if it is beneficial to Wang Lie.
"It has nothing to do with you?"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Kang's nose was even crooked with anger.
“In that case, it’s Honshu Mu’s fault, right?”
"Everything is the fault of Honshu Mu. Honshu Mu is really blind. He used you two useless trash!"
"Somebody come!"
In anger, Gongsun Kang somewhat lost his mind.
Such subordinates made him lose interest.
Boom boom boom. . .
Several soldiers rushed into the house, each standing with a sword.
Wang Lie and Bei Yan were so frightened that they took half a step back, their eyes full of panic.
They thought they would be scolded and punished, but they never thought they would be taken down!
"Lord Zhou Mu, calm down!"
"Calm down your anger? Humph! How do you ask the Honshu Mu to calm down his anger!"
Bei Yan had long lost his ability to think, and could only keep winking at Wang Lie, hoping that he could persuade him.
Of course not for him, but for Wang Lie himself!
Wang Lie had no choice but to persuade him.
"Lord Zhou Mu, you misunderstood, that's not what we meant!"
"All of this is a conspiracy of the Han army!"
Gongsun Kang snorted coldly and turned away, as if he didn't want to hear the explanation.
However, the fact that he did not order the soldiers to take any further actions already gave Wang Lie a chance.
Wang Lie didn't dare to delay and spoke quickly.
"Lord Zhou Mu, the Han army sent thousands of people to blockade hundreds of miles around Xiangping, and sent nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses to surround and annihilate the generals and generals. In addition, there are no less than thousands of people attacking the fortress!"
"General Bei, are there a lot of people there?"
Bei Yan nodded repeatedly, extremely panicked.
"That's right! At least seven to eight thousand, I'm afraid less than ten thousand!"
