Seven hundred and twentieth chapters uproar [seventh]
"Go all out to repair the pass and defend it without fail."
This was Marshal Ye's last and highest instruction when he was leaving.
Defend, not attack.
"You guys, seize this last moment to make your cultivation one step closer. The day of Shattered Void is not far away." This is what Ye Xiao said to Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun.
When Ye Xiao left this time, he didn't even take away the killers from Lingbao Pavilion, Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, Liu Changjun and others!
Even Song Jue didn't know where Ye Xiao had gone.
In a favorable situation, Marshal Ye suddenly withdrew his troops almost as a joke; it can be said that it caused an uproar. When the news came out, the world was shocked again!
I just heard about the legend of Marshal Ye defeating Wenren Jianyin by defeating the weak and the strong, but then I heard about Marshal Ye's deeds of giving up his country for a beauty.
Suddenly, the entire Hanyang Continent once again had something to talk about.
"That's awesome! That's awesome!"
"That's right, you are indeed Ye Xiao! You don't want to sacrifice your country for a beauty..."
"More than that, this is simply risking your own life."
"makes sense."
"This is a serious crime equivalent to treason. I really don't know what Ye Xiao is thinking..."
…
But in the hearts of girls across the continent, the shock suddenly became even more serious.
"If someone is willing to risk everything for me...what do I want in life?"
This thought was what almost all the dreaming girls in the entire continent were thinking about during this period of time; they were all envious, jealous, and hateful of the legendary Princess Lan Feng.
"I really want to see how beautiful Princess Wenren is. How she can let Marshal Ye make such a big sacrifice and concession for her..."
"Shuai Ye... is indeed a seed of infatuation..."
"I really want to meet this wonderful man in the world..."
…
What is absolutely different from the folk legends is that...the ministers in the capital once again had a reason to criticize Ye Xiao. They obviously wanted to avenge their relatives, and they still wanted to kill Ye Xiao.
Everyone jumped up and down, impassioned.
"Your Majesty, Ye Xiao deceived you and showed disobedience!"
"Ye Xiao acted cowardly in the face of battle and missed the opportunity to fight. He is guilty of an unforgivable crime!"
"Ye Xiao is greedy for beauty and betrays the interests of the empire. He deserves death!"
"Ye Xiao is committing a crime by giving up a good situation! A heinous crime!"
"Ye Xiaoxian has been bribed by the Blue Wind Empire and has the intention to surrender to the enemy and treason. It is obvious that he must kill this beast quickly to avoid future troubles!"
…
And so on, whether reasonable or unreasonable, logical or illogical, or even too stupid to be stupid, there are many new and hot reasons, which are like overwhelming waves, turbulent waves, and big waves washing away the sand. They are so powerful that you can't stop them!
The whole court was noisy, and at this moment, Ye Xiao once again became the target of many people.
More than hundreds of ministers could not afford to kneel down, pleading to punish Ye Xiao, a traitor!
Some people shed tears and burst into tears.
His Majesty the Emperor had a sullen face, looking at the ministers kneeling below, not knowing what he was thinking...
In this regard, Zuo Wuji finally stood up. It was also the first time that he really made his voice heard in the court.
"It's a bunch of nonsense. You actually frame Commander Ye Xiao with such baseless, irreverent and confusing remarks. Wouldn't it make the people of Emperor Chen feel cold and the soldiers of Chen Emperor feel chilled!"
Zuo Wuji's first words aroused public outrage.
"Zuo Wuji, you and Ye Xiao are clearly the same species!" Several ministers looked at Zuo Wuji angrily: "If I had known you would stand up, you two traitors would have been punished by everyone!"
Zuo Wuji calmly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a few words to say."
His Majesty the Emperor said solemnly: "Speak."
Zuo Wuji looked a little sad and angry: "At that time, the country was in crisis and the national disaster was at the forefront. Marshal Ye was hurriedly ordered to lead an army of 100,000 to help Tiefengguan. At that time, there were only 80,000 defeated soldiers in the whole city of Tiefengguan. Even the most optimistic
It is estimated that the number of troops under Marshal Ye’s command at that time was only 180,000! And the Blue Wind Empire’s army will not be less than 1.5 million troops!”
"With an army of only 180,000 people and a narrow city, we try our best to fight against the Blue Wind army of 1.5 million people! Who can do this in such a dangerous battle? Marshal Ye can do it! Marshal Ye tried his best and came up with many ingenious plans. In the end,
We won a great victory and completely expelled the enemy from our territory. These unparalleled feats are clearly visible to everyone, so there is no point in me emphasizing them."
"Commander Ye is fighting for the country with his life!"
"What are you talking about? You said that Commander Ye deceived the emperor and had a disobedient heart. Damn it. When Commander Ye raised his troops, it was the most critical moment for the survival of the empire. If Commander Ye had not sent troops, the empire would have already been at the gates of the city.
Even if the country is destroyed and the race is destroyed, Ye Shuai deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors. He intends to be disobedient, so why bother to do this and waste all your efforts!"
"Are you saying that Marshal Ye is timid in the face of battle and has wasted the opportunity to fight? I'm sorry, the only ones who are really timid in the face of battle and wasted the opportunity to fight are only your descendants. If they hadn't been timid, how could they have appeared in the last army of the empire?
In the army, in the Royal Guards?"
"If they hadn't been cowardly, how could they have fled under Commander Ye's orders because of their disrespect for military law? Their cowardice and resistance to military orders were the real delay in fighting, and they are indeed unpardonable crimes!"
"There are also such things as greed for beauty, betraying the interests of the empire, being bought by the Blue Wind Empire, surrendering to the enemy and treason, etc. It is obvious that it is even more ridiculous. I will say it again. When it comes to betraying the interests of the empire, being bought by the Blue Wind Empire, Ye
Are you handsome and silly?"
"You didn't surrender to the enemy when you first launched your troops. You didn't surrender to the enemy when you arrived at Tiefengguan and faced the Blue Wind army. You had to wait until after the Blue Wind Empire was beaten to a miserable state before you surrendered to the enemy?! Have you guys lost your brains or are you just getting mold in your brains?
?!Can you have some reliable imagination and come up with some reliable charges even if it’s Luo Zhi’s crime?”
"Among the many crimes, the only one that is more reliable is that of giving up a good situation. But is this really a fault? At the right time, Lan Feng was defeated and defeated thousands of miles away, but what about us?
?Although Marshal Ye won this battle, it could only be a miserable victory!"
"The battle of 180,000 people against the enemy's army of 1.5 million people, with the weak defeating the strong, and the small defeating the large, is already a miracle! However, although we won, our 180,000 soldiers were still
How many people can be left? Are the remaining people still capable of fighting again?"
"Even according to the most optimistic estimate, it is a blessing to have 50,000 soldiers alive after that battle out of these 180,000 people! In fact, these are only alive, and it does not mean that,
Among the 50,000 people alive, how many are disabled and how many are no longer capable of fighting."
"Your Majesty is also someone who has been on the battlefield and led troops. Naturally, he should know how huge our losses will be after such a battle."
"Ye Shuai's army pursued all the way, and after seven days and nights of rapid attacks, they not only recovered all the lost ground, but also broke through several passes in Lanfeng, and went to the important border town of Lanfeng to connect with Tianlan City. After seven days and nights of sleeplessness, how much manpower can be left?
