Du Long relied on his status as a veteran, high status, and great achievements, so he just cupped his fists and saluted without even bending his waist.
Yang Bufan, on the other hand, knelt in front of King Wei.
Make a decision!
King Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a stern face: "Generalissimo, I ask you, why did you suddenly stop the attack?"
"I..." As soon as Du Long opened his mouth, Yang Bufan said first: "Your Majesty, the Generalissimo said he was worried about an ambush in the canyon, so he asked the army to stop attacking."
"Shut up!" King Wei scolded Yang Bufan: "I asked the general marshal, not you."
Yang Bufan lowered his head.
Du Long said: "Your Majesty, the canyon ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and the mountains on both sides are getting higher and higher. I'm worried that Da Zhou will lay an ambush deep in the canyon."
"Therefore, I asked the army to stop temporarily and rest for a while."
"At the same time, I am also planning to send people to explore the situation inside the canyon. We will make plans after the situation is found out."
Yang Bufan asked: "Generalissimo, I want to ask you, how long will it take to find out the situation?"
"What if the Zhou army escapes while you wait to find out the situation?"
Du Long said in a bad tone: "Yang Bufan, I am the Grand Marshal of the Army, what qualifications do you have to question me?"
"I do this for my own reasons."
"Just obey the order."
Du Long's attitude was very domineering.
Yang Bufan said: "Generalissimo, I disagree with your words. I only know that I am the commander-in-chief of the Wei Dynasty, and I only obey the orders of the king."
Du Long said: "I will not accept your orders. I am the Grand Marshal of the Army, personally appointed by your Majesty. On the battlefield, you must obey me unconditionally. If you dare to question my decision again, I will take your head."
Sacrifice the flag.”
King Wei narrowed his eyes slightly again and said softly to Yang Bufan: "Get up!"
Yang Bufan stood up and said: "Generalissimo, what you said is wrong. This time we are attacking Zhou Dynasty, your Majesty will lead the expedition in person. We all must listen to your Majesty's words. There is no reason why the general will not accept your orders."
Having said this, Yang Bufan clasped his fists and bent down to say to King Wei: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of the war today, Dazhou has been retreating steadily. It is preliminary estimated that Dazhou has lost hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Now, the morale of our officers in the Wei Dynasty is as high as a rainbow, and we should work hard to annihilate the Zhou Dynasty."
"With all due respect, my subordinates are not convinced by the Generalissimo's decision, and neither are the soldiers."
Du Long said forcefully: "I am the Grand Marshal of the Army. On the battlefield, everyone must obey my orders. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Yang Bufan sneered: "Generalissimo, I would like to ask you, at this critical moment, why do you want the army to stop attacking?"
"Are you worried about an ambush in the canyon, or are you afraid of failure and damaging your reputation?"
"Or maybe you deliberately delayed the opportunity to allow the Zhou generals to escape?"
"Or are you just a person who is in Wei camp and your heart is in Zhou Dynasty?"
Du Long was furious when he heard this, pointed at Yang Bufan and shouted: "Yang Bufan, don't talk nonsense here. I just don't want the army to be ambushed and suffer heavy casualties."
Yang Bufan immediately retorted: "Generalissimo, I would like to ask, if we stop the attack now, wait until Zhou gets a chance to breathe, and then counterattack, will we suffer heavy casualties by then?"
"You——" Du Chong was so shocked that he was speechless.
Yang Bufan said to King Wei again: "Your Majesty, give the order to attack!"
Du Long said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we can't attack!"
The King of Wei thought for a moment and said: "Du Long, I order you to immediately lead the army to continue the attack. You must annihilate all the soldiers of Zhou Dynasty, leaving no one behind."
Du Long said: "Your Majesty, we really can't attack now!"
"Why, are you questioning my king's decision?" King Wei raised his eyebrows and said displeased: "Du Long, are you the marshal of the army or the king of Wei?"
Du Long knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, if we attack at this time, we may fall into an ambush by Zhou..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Wei.
"You also said that it's just possible, which means everything is your guess. What if your guess is wrong?"
Du Long said: "Even if my guess is wrong, it will not affect the overall situation."
A cold light flashed in King Wei's eyes, and he said coldly: "You are right. If you guess wrong, it will not affect the overall situation, but you are wasting the opportunity."
"There are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they all run away, even if I unify Central Continent, there will be endless troubles."
"Also, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty is very powerful. If he runs away, even if I become the Lord of Central Continent, I will not be able to sleep or eat well."
"Du Long, don't say much, execute the order immediately."
Du Long continued: "Your Majesty, please think twice! I have been on the battlefield since I was a teenager. I have experienced thousands of battles. I am used to the enemy's various conspiracies and tricks. The more victory is in sight, the more cautious I must be in marching troops."
, otherwise you will lose everything with one careless move!”
When King Wei heard this, there was fire in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Du Long, what do you mean? Do you think this king doesn't know how to fight?"
Du Long hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I want to remind you..."
"You don't need to remind me. Let me ask you, will you carry out the order?" King Wei said dissatisfied.
Du Long said: "Your Majesty, we can no longer attack now. We must be vigilant!"
King Wei looked very unhappy and shouted: "Yang Bufan, come forward and listen to the seal."
thump!
Yang Bufan immediately knelt down.
The King of Wei said: "I will now appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Army. You will take Du Long's place and lead the army to move forward. We must annihilate the Great Zhou Dynasty as quickly as possible."
"I obey the order!" Yang Bufan said with excitement on his face: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to..."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Du Chong said anxiously: "We can't attack now, lest we get ambushed."
"Also, Yang Bufan has no strategy and can only talk about war on paper. If he is allowed to lead the army, he will definitely cause heavy casualties to the army."
Yang Bufan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Before he could speak, King Wei had already spoken.
"Du Long, are you questioning the king's improper use of personnel?"
"Let me tell you, don't rely on your old age in front of this king. Without you, I will still conquer the Great Zhou Dynasty and unify Central Continent."
"The army is now under the command of Yang Bufan, you can go home."
Du Long suddenly burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, why can't you listen to what I say? I am completely thinking about the soldiers!"
"Okay, let's go home!" King Wei waved his hand impatiently.
Yang Bufan also said: "General Du, we don't need you here anymore, go back quickly!"
Du Long suddenly became furious, pointed at Yang Bufan and shouted: "Yang Bufan, it was you who deceived the king, I will kill you..."
boom!
Du Chong hit Yang Bufan with a palm.
"Presumptuous!" King Wei slapped Du Long away with a backhand, and cursed: "I will tolerate you again and again, please don't challenge my bottom line."
Old Du Long burst into tears. He didn't know whether it was because he was frustrated with the King of Wei or out of anger. He yelled: "Foolish King!"
"Looking for death!" King Wei was about to take action when he heard a "bang" sound. Du Long slapped his Tianling Cap, and instantly his head exploded into blood mist.
