581: C581 Loyalty to the Ear

C581 Loyalty to the Ear

Xun Zilin said that he would not break the dike.

The surrounding people all agreed.

This was because all these years, they had never heard of the Dashang River collapsing in the Yanzhou region.

However, with his many years of experience leading troops in war, the veteran Ma Shuming felt a faint sense of danger in his heart. He had to be wary of this matter. If the Xia Country Army takes the opportunity to destroy the dike, wouldn't we be in trouble? "

Xun Zilin frowned and revealed an impatient look on his handsome face as he said, "General Ma, the Xia Country armies are on the Mount Yulin side. Our four hundred and fifty thousand army is under the Mount Yulin. My four hundred and fifty thousand army has encircled the Mount Yulin to the point where not even a drop of water can leak out. "

"What do you think, what method does the Xia Country military have to go past my four hundred and fifty thousand strong army and destroy the Dashang River's dam?!"

"This …"

Ma Shuming was speechless. He did not know about this either.

He frowned and continued, "This subordinate does not know, but this subordinate feels that this is an important variable. "Why don't we retreat fifty miles away to the hillside where the cattle are located fifty miles away?"

"The slope of the mountain is very high, it's easy to defend but hard to attack. This is the fortress that leads to the center of my Shang Country. We will station our troops there, and wait for the flow of the Dashang River to subside, and then come forward to attack the Mount Yulin. This way is absolutely foolproof. "

Hearing that, Xun Zilin's face sunk, and reprimanded: "General Ma, are you a spy sent by Xia Country?!"

Ma Shuming's body shook, his eyes opened wide, and said: "What does the general say? This subordinate has been in the army for forty years, how could I possibly be a spy for Xia Country? "

Xun Zilin sneered: "If you aren't a spy from Xia Country, then why did you say such a thing? Don't you know how much effort we have expended to surround the Xia Country? "

"We waited with great difficulty, trapping the Xia Country army within. Victory was in sight, and the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Xia Country army were about to be exterminated. Yet, you want us to retreat fifty li. If we were to retreat fifty kilometers, all our previous efforts would have been for naught! "

"But …"

"No buts!"

Ma Shuming still wanted to argue, but was cut off by Xun Zilin.

Xun Zilin raised his head, his voice ice-cold as he continued, "Our army's rations is almost gone, we cannot keep up a prolonged battle. At this time, you still want me to retreat fifty li away, not dig my own grave? "

"There are clouds to the art of war, if one doesn't enter the tiger's lair, how can one obtain the tiger's strength?" Furthermore, the greater picture has already been set. As long as we act according to plan, we will be able to defeat the enemy. "

"Ma Shuming, you said that you are not a spy. "Why did you confuse my army's morale when our army was about to break through the enemy?"

Xun Zilin argued.

His questioning voice made Ma Shuming sweat profusely.

General Ma Shuming had proposed a potential crisis for the sake of good Shang Country.

However, Xun Zilin actually called him a spy.

Inside the tent, everyone looked at Ma Shuming with unfriendly eyes.

They all agreed with Xun Zilin's words. Now was the best time to defeat the enemy.

In another two days, they would have achieved a great victory.

There was no way he could retreat.

This Ma Shuming not only disturbed their morale, he even tried to destroy the merit points that they were about to receive!

A sinner!

Feeling the unfriendly gazes, Ma Shuming sweated profusely and said to Xun Zilin: "Lieutenant General, this lowly general is definitely not a spy. This lowly general is only loyal to Shang Country. This subordinate is only worried, if I fall into the Xia Country Army's scheme, we will be eternally doomed. Head Supervisor, you must think twice. "

Ma Shuming tried his best to warn Xun Zilin about the potential danger.

But, Xun Zilin laughed coldly and said: "I have been deeply pondering over this matter, how could it be considered three times? He couldn't stop thinking about it. Since you are so afraid of death, you don't want to fight with the Xia Country Army. "Then take your men and leave, and go to that Ox-hill that you talked about!"

"I believe that once we reach that place, regardless of whether we win or lose, General Ma will be able to rest peacefully."

"What?!"

Ma Shuming was shocked, he looked at Xun Zilin who was sneering with disbelief.

He did not expect Xun Zilin to say such a thing.

He had said out the potential danger, but Xun Zilin had actually thought that he was afraid of death.

He was even allowed to bring a portion of the Bull's Slope down with him.

It was very obvious that Xun Zilin did not listen to his advice, and even felt that he had lost face and pushed him out of the way.

Once he leaves, the battle here will have nothing to do with him.

Ma Shuming was a little sad.

In fact, because of his days of winning, he was optimistic about the young governor.

And because of this, he revealed his worries.

However, he had misjudged Xun Zilin.

Xun Zilin might be a little clever, but he was too petty.

He had only raised a different opinion, Xun Zilin was just going to let him leave.

In the tent, each and every General of Shang Army had a sneer on their face.

The general had already made arrangements, yet he still suggested such an idea.

Aren't you looking for trouble?

It was stupid.

"General Ma, since the Great Governor wants you to retreat to the Ox-Mountain Range, you should go."

"Yes, General Ma. Since it's useless for you to stay, why don't you just leave. "

"General Ma is not targeting you. I am also speaking the truth. "Since you're already so old, why don't you take this opportunity to remove your armor and return to the field?"

"This is a good idea. It's much safer to farm than to fight … "

"…"

Laughter rang out from the surrounding area.

There were also a few other voices that sounded weird.

Ma Shuming's rank in the army was actually not low.

Normally speaking, they would not mock Ma Shuming in this way.

However, since the Lieutenant General had already pushed him out of the way.1

Of course they were on the side of the governor.

They believed that they would definitely achieve great things by following Xun Zilin.

Perhaps, after this triumphant return, they would advance in unison.

His position was no longer below Ma Shuming's.

Xun Zilin looked at the bitter expression on Ma Shuming's face, and in his heart, he felt some joy.

Didn't this old fellow see him fight so many victories?

At this critical moment, how could he dare to speak such lecherous words and disrespect him? This was simply preposterous.

Listening to the ear-piercing noise, looking at Xun Zilin, with that aloof expression, Ma Shuming's body shivered, feeling extremely humiliated.

He never would have thought that he would fall under this kind of fate after giving Xun Zilin some advice and advice out of good intentions.

Kindness is the heart of a donkey.

However, he knew that it was useless to say anything now.

Xun Zilin hardened his heart and wanted him to leave.

Xun Zilin told him to leave because she didn't want to give him any contribution points.

However, Ma Shuming was deeply saddened.

They were sad for themselves, sad for the fact that the Shang Country Army had such a ruler.

He was already so old, how could he even think about contribution points?

Ma Shuming felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion.

His muddy eyes were slightly moist, and they gradually turned red. Then, he took a deep breath, bowed towards Xun Zilin, and said: "Lieutenant General. I shall obey. This lowly general then led his men to head to the Niu mountain slope. I hope that the Great Governor will be victorious and return victorious. "

"Go!"
