Among the generals, the bearded Boyan slowly walked out of the crowd.
It's just that at this time, he no longer looked at Zhuge Yan with respect in his eyes, but his eyes were a little sharp.
"Be bold!"
Liu Jinming was the first to get angry, pointing at Boyan and yelling: "How dare you not answer when the governor calls you, are you trying to do something wrong like this?!"
Although his momentum at this time was very strong, everyone present could see that his eyes were full of fear and even his fingers were trembling.
Because Liu Jinming could feel that they had lost control of this group of soldiers!
Zhuge Yan's face was calm. He looked at the generals standing aside. Their faces were more or less ashamed, but they did not stop Boyan.
Obviously, these are all things they have already discussed.
If he could lure Zhao Xiaole's people to open the city gate and capture Chuzhou City, they would almost support him.
If they can't, they will capture him and ask Zhao Xiaole for a way out!
Understanding their thoughts, Zhuge Yan looked at Boyan and said: "A strong attack does not necessarily lead to defeat."
"Now that our army's physical strength and energy are at their peak, it is a good time to make great achievements in Chuzhou City in one fell swoop!"
He was still trying to persuade Boyan: "Boyan, haven't you always wanted to become a general and a marquis?"
"This time, as long as you lead people to capture Chuzhou City, I promise that His Highness the Ninth Prince will ensure that you are promoted to Marquis!"
Boyan's face showed no emotion at all. He was silent for a moment and said: "Grand Governor, although I am just a general, I am not stupid."
"When we attacked Chuzhou City for the first time, that was when we were most powerful."
"At that time, we had the power of 50,000 soldiers, and our morale was at its peak! Our military strength was five times that of Chuzhou's troops!"
"But even then we won't be able to capture Chuzhou."
"Now our number is less than three times that of others, and there is no food in the army. If the war continues, do you want us to eat tree bark or eat human flesh?"
Hearing these words, everyone present felt a chill in their bodies and their hair stood on end.
If possible, no one would want to eat human flesh, and no one would want to be eaten!
Zhuge Yan fell silent immediately, and he naturally understood this truth. He turned back to look at the soldiers, his eyes scanning their faces one by one.
Facing his gaze, these people immediately lowered their heads in shame.
After looking at it for a long time, he sighed heavily and said: "The defeat of the army is not your fault, but the responsibility of me, the governor!"
"Now you want to use me to buy you a way to live. I don't blame you, because this is what I owe you!"
After saying that, he looked at the bearded man in front of him calmly, "Boyan, let's do it!"
At this moment, the whole army was stunned.
Their hearts were already full of guilt, but now that they heard these words, their eyes suddenly filled with tears, and they suddenly knelt down towards Zhuge Yan, "Captain, I'm sorry!"
Zhuge Yan didn't speak, he just leaned on the four-wheeler, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply.
The sigh was full of regret for persisting in going deep alone after winter entered.
Now that I am in this situation, I can only blame my own arrogance and incompetence!
Don’t blame others!
It was just that he couldn't take Chuzhou City, but he was still full of unwillingness. He couldn't help but sigh, "How can we be happy when we have extension!"
This growing sigh made all the soldiers present moved, and tears flowed from the corners of their eyes unconsciously.
Boyan couldn't stop the tears in his eyes. He wiped away his tears, forced his heart to harden, and said in a strong tone: "Come here, send the two governors on their way!"
The soldiers cried even harder, but in order to see their families again in the future, they could only endure the grief in their hearts, pulled out the swords from their waists, and walked towards Zhuge Yan and Liu Jinming.
From the beginning to the end, Zhuge Yan did not resist and just lay on the four-wheeler with his eyes closed.
But Liu Jinming couldn't sit still. He pointed at the bearded man with a look of horror on his face and said: "Boyan, you dare to commit the following crime. Do you want to rebel?"
"Aren't you afraid that the nine clans will be taken away from you, and the men will be slaves and the women will be prostitutes for generations?!"
As he spoke, he retreated back, feeling extremely frightened.
But before he took a few steps back, he felt himself hit something like an iron plate, and his whole body was shaken.
Turning his head stiffly, he came face to face with a soldier with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He was suddenly startled, but before he could exclaim, a dazzling white light lit up in front of his eyes.
"No!"
Liu Jinming let out a heart-rending roar, but then the sound suddenly stopped!
The next day.
In the government office of the state.
Zhao Xiaole looked at the two heads in front of him with complicated eyes.
He recognized that one of them was Zhuge Yan, who was scolded by him that day and vomited blood. As for the other one, he didn't recognize it. He thought he must be Zhuge Yan's adjutant or something.
"Who are you? These two people were killed by his own subordinates?"
Zhao Xiaole looked at Xie Junhao and asked.
"yes!"
Xie Junhao also looked at Zhuge Yan's head with complicated eyes.
He was originally thought to be an outstanding Confucian general. He fought against him several times and was at a disadvantage every time.
But I didn't expect that this person's ending would be like this.
He said slowly: "When the heads of these two people were delivered, my subordinates learned that in fact, the Yan army was ambushing in the mountains not far outside Chuzhou City last night."
"Those Yan soldiers at that time were purely trying to deceive our people into opening the city gate. Then the Yan army could attack in one fell swoop and seize Chuzhou City!"
Having said this, while Xie Junhao was scared, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiaole with admiration.
If it weren't for his insight, Chuzhou City might have been lost by now!
Immediately afterwards, Xie Junhao continued: "In the end, due to the adults' instructions, our people were not deceived by them. In addition, all the food in their camp was eaten up. We had no choice but to kill Zhuge.
Yan Lai seeks a way to survive!"
Zhao Xiaole nodded and looked at Zhuge Yan's head with some regret.
In other words, judging from this person's last name, he should be the protagonist, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this!
With a slight sigh, Zhao Xiaole patted the table and said: "Pick their heads in lime. Don't let them rot. Send them to the capital to report your victory!"
"yes!"
Xie Junhao took a deep look at both ends and was about to go do it. At this moment, a panic-stricken messenger from outside suddenly ran in and knelt down to report:
"Your Majesty, General, a group of enemy troops suddenly came outside the city!"
