Several people looked at each other, and finally, at the end, the young general raised his hand tremblingly, "General, young, young general has been there."
"Oh? Then tell me what you think?" Zong You asked.
"I……"
"Don't be nervous, just talk casually."
Perhaps Zong You's tone was gentler, and the young general gradually became less nervous. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There are many wounded people... There is almost no room for them in the wounded camp. Many wounded people can only squeeze outside. The military doctors are very busy and cannot cover everything. There are
Many of our soldiers died just after they were delivered..."
The young general spoke more and more fluently, and seemed to have sunk into that atmosphere. "As soon as he entered, he could hear moans and screams all over the tent. The young general just stayed there for a stick of incense, and he felt dull and depressed, and he wanted to rush out the door.
out……"
"Oh? Why?" Zong You asked.
"Because in the end, they will not be able to witness each living life, so they will die in front of their eyes. Some even have to undergo extremely painful treatment before death. Knowing that there is no hope, but still longing to live, that kind of hope, expectation,
And finally it turns into a look of despair... I will never be able to remain indifferent."
The young general said that at some point, the tent became quiet.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Before we joined the army, we all swore an oath to protect our country and territory. For this, we can sacrifice everything without regrets. Even now, this idea has not changed. It's just..."
Zong You took a deep breath, "It's just that behind us there are family members who have been waiting for our safe return. They look forward to and pray for us every day. Whenever it is quiet at night and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we cannot be with them because of the responsibilities and burdens we carry.
During the reunion, it was they who were always thinking about us. Let us know that we are not only burdened by the country, the heavy burdens, the responsibilities of the military, but also the high expectations of our families."
"We are guardians, but we are also sons, fathers, husbands..."
"Well said!"
Zong You applauded with paws in his hands, his expression full of praise.
"Mo, I have gone too far! General, please punish me..."
"No, you are very good and see clearly. In this regard, I am not as good as you."
The young general suddenly became frightened. Zong You stood up and walked down, helped him up and patted his shoulder, "This is what I, Fanxu's son, should be like! Not only do you care about everyone, but you also have a small family. Only in this way can you be called a real man.
!”
"May I have your name?"
"Finally, the last general Yang Yongyi."
"Yang Yongyi, what a good name! Loyal, brave, benevolent and righteous, you deserve this name!"
Yang Yongyi smiled naively and scratched his head.
"Yang Yongyi!"
"The end is here!"
Suddenly Zong You shouted loudly, and Yang Yongyi straightened his body out of reflex.
"From now on, you will be my lieutenant general."
"Young general...ah? What?"
Yang Yongyi was completely dumbfounded.
Zong You walked back to his seat with a solemn expression, "Have you all heard what he said? Do you know where you went wrong?"
Everyone lowered their heads, looking ashamed.
"First, as a general, you should cherish your subordinates, but what about you? You are bent on winning, but you have never even set foot in the camp where your wounded are placed! They are your subordinates who charge into battle for you. Is this what you call benevolence?"
"Two! As a general, you should keep a calm mind at all times! You shouldn't get carried away and lose your judgment completely because of a temporary defeat in the battle! Demons have always been a serious problem for me, Fanxu, and that's right. They have killed so many of us.
Soldiers, it’s right for you to be angry! It’s just that it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If you only do things with passion! Then what use are my soldiers, Fanxu?”
Every time Zong You said something, the general below him would lower his head.
"One last thing..."
Zong You looked around and suddenly knelt down.
This move was so sudden that it shocked everyone.
"General, what are you doing?!"
"General, you are trying to hurt us!"
"Get up quickly..."
******
"The third thing is my fault."
"As the commander-in-chief of an army, I failed to understand the enemy's situation and assess the situation in time, and instead almost killed thousands of soldiers! This is my fault!"
"General!!"
Everyone knelt down in unison, and just as they were about to persuade him, Zong You interrupted.
"Everyone, listen to me..."
"Before today, I was angry, anxious, and uneasy like you all. Thinking of those warriors in the Bone Burial Wilderness, I couldn't relax for a moment. The emperor personally led the army to sweep away the demon clan, level the demon abyss and take back the country. Now , but it happened to be lost in our hands. Didn’t those soldiers who died earlier sacrifice their lives in vain?"
"I feel guilty and uneasy, and I am angry and unjust. I wish I could immediately cut all the demons into pieces and kill them all! To comfort the warriors and heroes who have sacrificed their lives!"
"However, there are some things that cannot be done with passion! That will make us lose our calmness and the ability to analyze the situation! The current situation is like an abyss lying in front of us. If we make a slight mistake, It is beyond redemption. Don’t forget that what we carry on our shoulders is never one person’s life, but the lives of hundreds of people, subordinates, soldiers, and the heroes who have passed away!”
"General! It's the generals who are wrong!"
"General, please punish me severely!"
"General, please punish me severely!"
…
It’s not that there is no resentment in my heart, but that I am willing to let go of my personal anger for the sake of the overall situation and with more warriors and heroic spirits.
"General, please give the order! We...are willing to obey your orders!"
Zong You couldn't help but feel sore eyes as he looked at the soldiers in front of him.
He cupped his fists and saluted, "Zong You is here, thank you all."
His head hit the ground deeply.
******
"...That's just the way it is."
Yue Feng told Ling Xuewei exactly what he saw during the day.
Yue Feng spoke with great joy and excitement, and his words were filled with admiration for the old general Zong You.
The corners of Ling Xuewei's mouth curled up slightly.
The old general really lived up to her expectations.
"My dear, General Zong is worthy of being the leader of the four generals. With just a few words, he convinced all his subordinates and boosted their morale! It's so amazing!"
Ling Xuewei glanced at Yue Feng, "He has more than just a mouth. The most important thing is his military exploits and achievements over the years, as well as his prestige among his subordinates. Remember, the only thing the military values most is ability, but Not a eloquent mouth."
"Yuefeng remembers it." Yuefeng nodded heavily.
"Yeah." Ling Xuewei asked immediately, "Is there any movement in the 'net' we spread out?"
"There's something going on..."
On the first day that Ling Xuewei came to Wentian City, she released countless emergency-made miniature detection bees. Because of this, she was able to detect the situation on the other side of the river at the first time and knew that Mo Linyuan was preparing to ambush Fanxu's army there.
