"Reporting to Marshal, Gorza asks for an audience."

After hearing the sound, the man who was looking at the snowy scene with his hands behind his back took his eyes away from the rocks in front of him, turned his head, and walked towards the house.

"Call him in"

"yes!"

After getting the answer, Gorza dragged his exhausted body into the house, put his right hand on his left chest, and saluted the marshal.

"Golza meets with Marshal Budugen"

A feeble voice reached his ears, and Bu Dugen opened his eyes, looked at Gorza, looked up and down, and then said

"Lost?"

"Yes, the Han army was too powerful, far beyond my expectations, which led to the failure."

"Then why are you back alone? Where is Selke?"

It seemed that Golza was mentioning his sadness. After hearing Selke's name, Golza's tone added a sense of loss.

"Selke...has been beheaded by a Han general..."

There was no sadness on Bu Dugen's face when he heard the news, but it would be better to say that his expression did not change at all, and he kept an almost unchanged tone and said to Gorza.

"Selke's loyalty to the country is a role model for our generation. Then Gorza, why don't you follow his example, sacrifice your life for righteousness, and promote the power of our Xianbei army?"

When Bu Dugen spoke, he didn't even move his eyelids, but he frightened Gorza to the point where he knelt on the ground.

"Marshal, Selke fought to the death and was indeed a role model for our army. However, our army had already been defeated at that time, and his soldiers had lost their fighting spirit. If we continue to fight, the whole army would be annihilated. The general just didn't want to lead them.

They died in vain. I wanted to preserve the strength of our army, so I led them to retreat. Please ask the marshal to investigate clearly!"

After explaining loudly the reason for his escape, he immediately kowtowed to Bu Dugen, but Bu Dugen, who was sitting in the commander's seat, was still looking at him relentlessly.

"Using this excuse to excuse yourself, Gorza, you are thinking too beautifully. Do you think I won't punish you by using the army as a shield?"

Hearing Budugen say this, Gorza said nothing, lowered his head, and began to look panicked...

But after waiting for a long time and not hearing Bu Dugen speak, Gorza carefully raised his head and looked at him from below, only to see Bu Dugen staring at him with a half-smile, their eyes facing each other, Gorza

Zha smiled awkwardly.

"No matter how the marshal wants to deal with me, can it be faster? The marshal stares at me like this, and the general feels extremely panicked."

Gorza whispered his request, but the result was that Budugen laughed loudly.

"Hahahahahahaha~"

Gorza naturally didn't know which of his words made him laugh so much, so he stopped speaking. Bu Dugen, who was above him, stopped laughing, coughed, regained his composure, and spoke to Gorza.

"General Gorza, what you just said is just a joke between the two of us. Don't take it to heart. Please get up."

[Damn it, is there something wrong with your brain? Are you kidding me about my life? Do you know how much harm this does to me?!]

I was hysterical towards Bu Dugen in my heart, but on the surface I still had to give in, not for any other reason than because he was my immediate boss.

"Thank you very much, Marshal, for not killing me. I will certainly repay the Marshal for today's kindness by giving up his merits in the future."

"Oh, I really like to hear what the general says.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, you didn’t take the joke I just made to you, did you?”

Budugen asked this question in a sneaky way, and Gorza waved his hand hurriedly.

"No, no, the general knows that the marshal's nature is like this. Naturally, he won't hold grudges over such trivial matters."

[Hmph! If you fall into my hands in the future, see if I don’t skin you alive and let you feel how I feel now...]

Of course, Bu Dugen couldn't hear what he was thinking in the second half of the story. Bu Dugen above looked at Gorza being so humble to him, and he was naturally very satisfied.

"I already know about Selke. I will send someone to tell Khan about his heroic deeds. Of course, I will also tell about how General Gorza fought bravely, but was outnumbered and had no choice but to withdraw his troops in the end.

mood"

"So, I would like to thank the Marshal for his deep understanding of justice."

"Then, you go down and take care of your wounds first. I will call you over later to discuss the war with me."

"The general will obey his orders"

After giving a salute, Gorza slowly retreated away, but he heard Bu Dugen shouting from behind.

"Be careful with the threshold, don't trip, it will be very painful."

It sounded like he was concerned, but he felt that there was also a sense of ridicule in it. Gorza's face was a little gloomy, but it soon turned into a smiling face, and he turned his head and said to Bu Dugen.

"Thank you Marshal for reminding me, I will pay attention next time!"

Without waiting for Bu Dugen to talk nonsense, Gorza walked out without looking back, and the smile on his face instantly turned into anger.

[What the hell! Isn’t it just because your brother is a khan? Why don’t you go to war if you have the ability to show off your strength? I want to see how you get hacked to death in the future!]

I was cursing in my heart, and my emotions had spread all over my legs. I walked faster and faster, and soon I turned the corner and Golza was no longer visible.

……………………

With the war in Bingzhou temporarily extinguished, Wen Duye and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang returned to the Bohai Sea. As soon as they arrived, without taking a moment to rest, a eunuch walked quickly to Liu Bei's house.

"Our family pays homage to the Marquis Ting of Yicheng"

"My father-in-law is too polite. I wonder why my father-in-law came to visit?"

"His Majesty learned that General Liu had returned to the palace, so he specially sent our family here to invite the general to the palace for a chat."

"Liu Bei understands. Please go back and tell me, father-in-law, that I will be there soon."

"I understand, then our family will go back first."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly"

…

Just after seeing him off, Wen Du jokingly said

"The emperor is very well-informed. He came to call for people as soon as we came back."

As he spoke, Wen Du leaned back, straightened his legs, and slumped down on the stool, pretending to be dead like a salted fish that couldn't turn over.

"My dear brother, you must not speak to the Emperor like this, it is offensive."

Liu Bei conducted some ideological education work on Wen Du, but Wen Du was not a good boy before, and he was a descendant who grew up under an enlightened education. He was somewhat repelled by emperors and feudal society.

It's just that the current environment he is in is such that he cannot spread his different ideas everywhere.

"Mr. Xuande, are you too nervous? This is not in front of the emperor, so what are you afraid of?"

Wen Dushan said with a smile, but Liu Bei was still as sharp as before, preaching like this

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"The Emperor should exist in the hearts of every Han people, including me. Even in private, we should not offend the Emperor's majesty. My dear brother should also have a sense of awe for the Emperor in his heart, right?"

【No, I only have the Party in my heart!】

The powerful words echoed in Wen Du's mind, but after all, he was just thinking about it. How could he dare to say it out? In other people's territory, one must be careful at all times.

"Excuse me for being presumptuous, I take back what I just said."

Wen Du surrendered, and Liu Bei finally agreed to let him go. He relaxed his slightly tense expression and revealed a spring-breathing smile.

“A lot can be done to improve if you know your mistakes”

But even so, Liu Bei still didn't notice that Wen Du took back what he said just now, and still didn't answer his attitude towards the prince. This can be regarded as a little cleverness played by Wen Du.

"My dear brother, do you want to go with me to see His Majesty?"

Facing Liu Bei's invitation, Wen Du remained silent and just shook his head. Liu Bei, who understood what he meant, didn't force it either. He said to Guan Yu next to him, Zhang Fei said

"Second brother, third brother, get dressed and come with me."

"promise!"

…

Liu Bei and Guan Yu took the lead and Zhang Fei patted Wen Du on the shoulder and said:

"You should rest first"

Then he also walked out, leaving only Wen Du staying here "lying dead".

"This chair... is so hard..."

…

…

"Your Majesty Liu Bei pays homage to His Majesty"

"Three beloved ladies, please get up quickly."
