Breaking into the enemy's ranks and retrieving the enemy's marshal's head was the only way the general could think of to turn the tide of the war.

And he succeeded!

The wind howled, the horses neighed, the setting sun of the Gobi Desert sprinkled the sand like blood, and the branches of Populus euphratica opened upward, as if praying for something.

The enemy troops were still chasing after him, and all the brave warriors he had brought with him had been lost in this sneak attack.

That was his comrade who had experienced life and death with him, but he stayed in a foreign land forever.

Even though he was filled with grief at this moment, the general could not stop. The enemy troops behind him were pursuing him, and he had to rush to Qianling Pass as soon as possible.

The moment the general arrived at the city, Qiu Zhuo's thoughts completely overlapped with his, feeling his feelings.

"Open the door quickly! The general is back!"

Before they even approached the city, the soldiers recognized the general by the white horse he rode and lowered the city gate.

The general galloped into the city, shouting to the soldiers defending the city, "Hurry! Close the city gate!"

The soldiers guarding the city also saw the massive pursuers behind them, and hurriedly closed the city gate, with veins popping out of their hands holding the rope.

The general rode horseback all the way to the main camp tent. He didn't have time to dismount and ordered the deputy general, "Quick! Let the soldiers who have been assembled in advance prepare to set off. We must seize the opportunity and take advantage of the enemy's chaotic pass to pursue the victory!"

However, the deputy general looked at the general with a troubled expression and did not act.

The general sat on the horse, controlling the reins, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, "What's wrong? Why don't you go?"

The lieutenant clasped his fists and lowered his head, as if he did not dare to face the general. He said solemnly, "General, I can't go. The court sent someone to negotiate an agreement."

The general took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the reins for an instant. He knew that all the efforts he had just made would be in vain, and so would the brothers he sacrificed!
His heart tightened rapidly, as if a hand was grabbing it and tearing it apart.

The general dismounted with a sullen expression. Every step he took felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The deputy general stepped forward and helped the general hold the reins of the white horse as usual, but he did not dare to raise his head and look at the general, everything was too heavy.

The general walked up the steps step by step, raising his heavy hand to open the curtain of the tent.

But the moment he touched the door curtain, he stopped, and a "rebellious" thought came into his mind.

He felt that there was a warm blood dormant in his chest, waiting to burst out.

"General?"

The deputy general called him from the side. He seemed to sense the general's thoughts, or in other words, anyone in such a situation would have such thoughts.

I will be outside, and the emperor's order will be ignored!

Directly lead the organized troops and horses to attack the enemy's camp without paying attention to the supervisory troops sent by the emperor, nor to the officials who were bent on seeking peace.

In a battle between two armies, timing is of the utmost importance. Every minute and second now is a waste of the lives of those dead soldiers!

The general loosened the curtain in his hand and clenched his fists, as if he was making an extremely important decision.

He turned around neatly, took a deep look at the endless desert in the distance, and said to the deputy general beside him: "Let's go!"

"General?" the deputy general said hesitantly, "don't you go see the supervisor first?"

The lieutenant general understood what it meant for the general to make such a choice, which was to resist the decree, and resistance to the decree would result in beheading!Moreover, more than half of the officials in the court were suing for peace. These people were all staring at the general. Even if he made the slightest mistake, they could be packaged into a huge disaster, not to mention the crime of resisting the emperor and deceiving the emperor. .

When the time comes for the emperor to blame me, I really don’t know what crime he will be convicted of!
"General, think twice!"

The lieutenant immediately knelt down. He was afraid that the general was impulsive and would regret it later.

"This is my decision. Even if the emperor takes the blame, I will bear the responsibility alone. It has nothing to do with you!" The general's tone was extremely firm. "This is the best opportunity to attack the enemy. Once we let them breathe, all our previous efforts will be lost." It will all go down the drain!”

"Okay! Now that the general has decided, we will definitely follow him!" The deputy general clasped his hands in his fists and spoke firmly.

But at this moment, the curtain behind him was opened, "General, what are you going to do?"

A high-pitched voice sounded, which sounded a bit pretentious. The general frowned and turned his head, and saw a father-in-law with white powder on his face and rouge on his mouth, looking at him sideways, his eyes full of disdain.

"General, our family has been waiting here for a long time. Please come in quickly, General, so that we can discuss peace together."

The father-in-law who serves as the supervisor of the army is also a peace seeker like the ministers in the court. He only wants to use the looted people's fat and people's anointing to maintain his own wealth and happiness. How can he take the rise and fall of the country into his heart.

"let's go!"

The general ignored him, but turned around and said to the deputy general: "Gather the team, let's go!"

"General, what do you want to do?" The father-in-law was immediately shocked. The whisk in his hand kept shaking, "I came with the emperor's decree. Do you want to resist the decree? That is a serious crime against the Nine Clan! Do you want to Thinking about the hundreds of people in your family, do you want them to lose their lives because of your impulse?"

The general hesitated for a moment, his heart struggling violently.

Seeing that the general was still indifferent, the father-in-law glanced at the entourage. The entourage immediately understood what he meant, turned back to his account and took out a golden sword.

"General, look what this is!"

The general frowned and turned his head, and saw the Shang Fang sword, which symbolized imperial power, being held in the hands of the father-in-law.

When everyone saw this, they knelt down and worshiped on the ground.

The general also knelt on the ground reluctantly. He was completely disappointed. This was the emperor's sword that he never left his body. He actually gave it to a eunuch to supervise the army.

It seems that the imperial court's idea of ​​negotiating peace has been extremely determined.

The father-in-law held up Shang Fang's sword and ordered to his men, "The general intends to resist the decree and completely ignores the emperor's authority. He is now dismissed from his command as a warning to others!"

The deputy general next to the general said anxiously, "Supervisor, the army cannot be without a commander for a day. Please supervisor, please think twice and don't let the morale of the army be disordered!"

The father-in-law snorted coldly and said sharply, "Handsome? From now on, I am handsome! The court has already made peace with you. It has nothing to do with whether this army exists or not. It costs a lot of military resources to support you. It is really a waste!"

The officers kneeling below were all secretly angry, but they dared not speak out. They could only advise, "Supervisor, the general is loyal to His Majesty, but I was just confused for a moment. I hope you will give me a lighter sentence. Please think again, Supervisor!" "

"I hope the supervisor will think twice!"

All the generals kowtowed and begged for mercy.

But they didn't know that the more they begged for mercy, the angrier the supervisor would become and the more they wanted to put the general to death.

At this time, the men sent by the father-in-law to find out the news rushed over with anxious expressions.

"Report——!" The father-in-law's men knelt down and gasped, "Supervisor, it's not good! I just heard that the general chopped off the enemy's marshal's head, and now the enemy soldiers are attacking us. The hostility has reached an irreversible level!"
