Three days later, Zhao Jin once again came out of the Duke's Mansion in military uniform, this time followed by Bai Wu.
He looked back at the Duke's Mansion and suddenly realized that he had been running around non-stop since arriving in Bianzhou.
Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "I hope that after this battle, I can settle down and have a good rest."
"I will." Bai Wu held the reins and followed Zhao Jin.
"I hope so."
It was still very early, and Zhao Jin didn't want to say goodbye to everyone when he left later, so he went out early on purpose.
So they now have enough time to slowly meet at the city gate.
Zhao Jin held the reins in his left hand, his fingertips pointed on the reins, his starry eyes were solemn.
An important reason why Ma Yan and others were retreating steadily was because Zhao Xingyu also had explosives in his hands.
After he handed the recipe of the explosive to Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian appointed someone to be responsible for the production. Although Zhao Jin had the name of the person in charge, he was basically not involved in the matter.
Now Zhao Jin doesn't know how Zhao Xingyu obtained the formula of this explosive, but it is indeed a headache.
Zhao Xingyu also had explosives in his hands, so it really turned into a battle of hot weapons, costing thousands of lives.
Zhao Jin's eyes moved slightly, he needed to find a way to avoid this.
A few days later, Zhao Jin served as the general of the country and led an army of 200,000 to Liyang.
At the city gate, Ma Yan and others were already waiting for Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin walked beside Ma Yan, and everyone entered the city together.
However, as soon as he entered the city gate, Zhao Jin couldn't help but frown. The streets he entered were desolate, and the scattered people looked tired and decadent.
It seems that there is no hope for this battle anymore.
"What's the situation in Liyang now?" Zhao Jin originally wanted to wait until he arrived at the military camp to ask for details, but seeing this scene, he couldn't wait any longer.
On Zhao Jin's left was Xu Yan, who looked ashamed and said, "Liyang won't last long now."
Without waiting for Zhao Jin to ask further questions, he explained everything clearly.
"We fought many battles with the rebels in Liyang, and 80% of them were defeated. Nearly half of the soldiers were injured, and many civilians simply fled."
“It’s already a miracle that we’re still here.”
Ma Yan beside him also shook his head and said: "If the Duke comes two days late, I'm afraid we will have to retreat again."
He raised his head and glanced at Liyang, which was now full of vicissitudes of life. His eyes were a little dazed, "Even now, if the rebels attack a few more times, they may have to retreat."
"Retreat? General Ma has already thought of abandoning the city and fleeing, right? I have always heard of General Ma's reputation, but now it seems that it is just mediocre."
In fact, when he heard Chen Xiao's first word, Zhao Jin's eyelids kept twitching. As expected, Chen Xiao didn't say anything good.
Just at the gate of the city, Chen Xiao told Ma Yan that his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not his eyes. Zhao Jin was not surprised at all when he heard Chen Xiao's ridicule.
Ma Yan's face looked much uglier. He glanced at Chen Xiao, closed his mouth and said nothing.
It's just that the person involved didn't speak out, but some people couldn't bear it.
Today, all the generals in Liyang came out of the city to greet the army, including generals big and small. A young man walking behind blushed and said directly: "Chen Xiao, how powerful do you think you are?!"
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the sound.
The other party was glaring at Chen Xiao with an angry look on his face, and hatred was clearly visible in his eyes.
"Ma Hao, if you two, father and son, don't have the ability, don't think that others don't have the ability either." Chen Xiao didn't even change his expression, and didn't give the other party any attention.
"Besides." Chen Xiao looked at Ma Yan with a half-smile, "No matter how incompetent I am, I will never abandon the people of a city and flee!"
These words made Xu Yan blush, and he was shocked, confused, and ashamed.
He is actually the real commander-in-chief of the army. Ma Yan is unable to serve as commander-in-chief due to his old illness. Therefore, he is the one who needs to bear the greatest responsibility for the current situation.
But why is it that General Chen is attacking Ma Yan both inside and outside his words?
Ma Hao gasped heavily and his eyes widened, "You have never fought the rebels, how do you know how difficult they are?"
"Besides, if you don't leave even though you know you can't defeat them, is it possible that you want all the soldiers and civilians to perish together with the enemy?"
"Ma Hao!" Ma Yan, who had been silent all this time, shouted sharply.
Zhao Jin crossed his arms and put away his original intention to dissuade him.
During the two or three days he stayed in Bianzhou City to rest, Zhao Jin read all the battle reports from the south and discovered some problems in them.
Admittedly, it is not practical to die together, after all, there are so many cities behind them, but it has almost become a habit for them to abandon the city and flee.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jin watched from the side, and Chen Xiao might as well wake them up by scolding them.
"Have you really reached the point where you have to abandon the city and flee? Have you fought to the point where it is impossible to resist the enemy?" Chen Xiao raised his eyelids and was clearly answering Ma Hao, but kept staring at Ma Yan.
Ma Yan and Chen Xiao looked at each other. Except for the sharp shout just now, he did not speak again. There was a hint of embarrassment in his expression.
Now everyone stopped, Chen Xiao and Ma Yan were standing face to face, so Ma Hao could see Ma Yan's expression clearly while waiting for Chen Xiao.
When he saw the embarrassment on Ma Yan's face, Ma Hao's eyes became even more jealous, and he almost screamed: "Why not? Moreover, Chen Xiao, you, a mere fourth-grade guerrilla general, dare to talk to the supervisor.
Talk like that?!"
This time, Chen Xiao finally moved his eyes away from Ma Yan's face and turned his head to fall on Ma Hao's face.
"Why don't you dare? A man who can even abandon his wife and deny his son. Why don't I, Chen Xiao, dare to talk to him like this?"
Chen Xiao raised his voice and asked.
Then, the sarcasm in his tone became more obvious, "After all, no matter how bad I am, I am still not a scumbag."
Zhao Jin was a little stunned by the shocking big melon, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind.
Ma Yan, Ma Hao, Chen Xiao, abandoning their wives and children?
Zhao Jin's eyes wandered back and forth between the three people. He didn't know if he had preconceived ideas, but now he actually felt that the three people looked really similar.
Xu Yan, who was feeling ashamed and uneasy, couldn't help but cast his eyes on these three people.
Ma Yan's face turned blue and white, "Shu Zi, don't talk nonsense!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Ma Hao raised his hand, his fingertips trembling with anger, "Chen Xiao, don't go too far!"
"Enough!"
The noise was getting more and more out of control, and Zhao Jin shouted angrily to calm everyone down.
