Chapter 297 Should I Be Afraid?

Shangguan Pei's voice was very distinctive. It was rare to hear him raise his voice, but he was not angry and arrogant. It was very different from his appearance.

The moment Shangguan Pei opened his mouth, Gu Changqing was stunned. He couldn't believe what he heard was true.

Sending so many people and paying so much money to hire assassins to kill Shangguan Pei, only to find that the other party was still alive was a great humiliation!

Gu Changqing pushed aside a group of lieutenants beyond measure. Gu Changqing was knocked to the ground by deputy general scarface with his shoulder. He fell into a mess and fell to Shangguan Pei's feet.

"Impudence!" Shangguan Pei let out a low cry. He went up to pick up the imperial edict and kicked gu changqing hard. He kicked him out and said coldly, "What crime should Mr. Gu commit to treating the imperial edict like dirt?"

Gu Changqing, who had two broken ribs, was about to speak up for himself when he heard Shangguan Pei give a direct order, "Come on, tie Mr. Gu up and send him back to the capital to be punished by the emperor himself."

One of the lieutenants walked up with a smile, "Condescendingly" tying Gu Changqing up, and taking the opportunity to give him a good beating over his grievances over the past few days. He ordered the soldiers and leaders in charge of the escort to send Gu Changqing back in a big way, to make sure that everyone knew of Gu Changqing's evil deeds.

After dealing with the outsiders, a group of deputy generals turned back to pay a big bill and saluted Shangguan Pei. Even the men of iron zheng couldn't help but blush. No one knew better than those who licked blood with their knives how much the Tianlan had lost Shangguan Pei, and what fate it would mean for their soldiers.

Shangguan Pei was touched and asked the generals to get up to discuss the strategy of defeating the Hengyuan army. Although the damage to the three cities was not too serious, many soldiers were killed and injured. Shangguan Pei did not want the soldiers to die in vain.

The group of people discussed until late at night, and Shangguan Pei returned to his tent to rest. There was a man dressed as a soldier lying in front of the desk. There was a soft light in Shangguan Pei's eyes and an undetectable pain in his heart. He quickly took off his cloak and put it on the soldier, and took away the book in front of him. It was Su Mianyue's exquisite face that suddenly appeared.

Su Mianyue, who had always been on high alert, suddenly struck up guan pei. After seeing who the other party was, he calmly put down his attack and looked outside, "Although your injury is better, it is better to combine work with rest."

Listening to Su Mianyue's concern for himself, Shangguan Pei said with a smile in his eyes, "I will pay attention in the future."

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how could Shangguan Pei have a regular routine when the war was coming? If not for the fear that Su Mianyue would be bored alone in the military ledger today, at least another hour would be needed before he could rest.

Not knowing what to talk to Shangguan Pei about, Su Mianyue asked, "Is the war tight this time?"

Along the way, Su Mianyue knew of Shangguan Pei's kindness to the people after the siege, and also knew of Shangguan Pei's craftiness in using his troops. He had always won the biggest victory with the smallest casualties. It would be a good thing if he had to fight so quickly.

Now Su Mianyue no longer foolishly believed that he had the ability to stop the war, nor was he willing to stop it. The more the Hengyuan fell, the harder it was for Wanyan Lin to attack her. Su Mianyue also had his own selfish side of human nature, not to mention that the war was initiated by the top man in the food chain.

"You should know that Wanyan Lin has a master in his hands, right?" Shangguan Pei didn't want to talk about the military, but Su Mianyue and Wanyan Lin are now enemies, so it's okay to talk about it.

Nodding his head, Su Mianyue thought for a moment and said, "Wanyan Lin should have 300,000 elites in his hands, but all his thoughts are on the throne of the Hengyuan, so over the years he has been more focused on buying people for his use, and not much food has been stored up."

The hand hanging under the table clenched tightly, discussing the matter about Wanyan Lin undoubtedly made Su Mianyue feel heartbroken and resentful, but there was no emotional leakage on his face.

"Although these elites have the potential to break through the bamboo, they have never had the opportunity to fight in real life. As long as Shangguan Pei uses the right method, he can conquer the enemy." Su Mianyue stopped, unwilling to continue this topic, looked up and smiled, "I believe that General Shangguan has his own plan. It's getting late, and I want General Shangguan to rest early. Maybe tomorrow I will see a battle that I will remember for the rest of my life. General Shangguan will not have the name of the god of war, right?"

With a gesture of invitation to Shangguan Pei, Su Mianyue closed his clothes and lay down on the makeshift couch. The smile on his lips did not fade away, but his eyes were full of cold light.

For the next three days, no matter how provocative the Hengyuan army was, Shangguan Pei ordered it to be ignored. Even if the troops of the Hengyuan were to attack the city, the troops of the Hengyuan would only watch the city wall and then welcome the enemy with rain of arrows.

Because the news of Shangguan Pei's return did not leak out, several Hengyuan leaders were discussing how to take back the city, but they did not know that Shangguan Pei was also discussing a head-on attack on the Hengyuan. No one knew that Shangguan Pei did not fight this war because of the king's life, but just wanted to avenge Su Mianyue.

On the fourth day, the Hengyuan's army once again sounded the bugle of attacking the city. This time, although the entire army did not go out, it was not difficult to see from the momentum that the Hengyuan was determined to recapture the city.

However, Shangguan Pei ordered the withdrawal of the two armies at the most critical time of the battle. While the Hengyuan was charging into the city, the left and right wings were surrounded by the army of the Tianlan. Even if the remaining troops came to rescue them, it took three days and three nights of hard work before they ended up with huge losses.

These three days and nights, Su Mianyue had been standing in the corner of the city wall. This time, Wuqing, who had witnessed the battle, was watching coldly. Su Mianyue did not have much sympathy for the soldiers. If he wanted to make a contribution, he had to be prepared to be sacrificed, and either the Hengyuan or the Tianlan were defeated. Although he hated Mu Tinng, he wanted Wanyan Lin to be defeated. Su Mianyue's balance was tilted.

When the soldiers of the two countries took away the bodies of their comrades, Su Mianyue could see the blood on the ground even from afar. The blood of millions of people dyed the ground dark red.

The broken limbs were left unattended, and it was not known how long it would take for them to turn into fertilizer to nourish the land.

Closing his heavy eyes, Su Mianyue let out a deep breath and suddenly realized that he was so small. He secretly laughed at how he had the courage to think that he could save the world. Although mixed with personal feelings, he had been trying hard to save people's lives. But those were far less than the deaths of a battle.

"Are you afraid?" After arranging the aftermath of the war, Shangguan Pei walked to the corner building and stood beside Su Mianyue and asked softly.

"Should I be afraid?" Su Mianyue smiled, but his pale face was unconvincing.

But su mianyue herself knew that she was not afraid of death, but could not stand such a heavy bloody scene. She did not understand why human beings had to have a war and a stable life is not good?
