Chapter 89: Watching someone die without helping
"Wounded doctor, old wounded doctor!" The first thing the general guarding Yanmen Pass did as he climbed up the city wall was to order people to invite the best old military doctor among the troops.
"What on earth happened?" All the generals at Yanmen Pass rushed over, but none of them knew what had happened to these three people.
"The Mohist School, the Agricultural School, and the Five Elements School!" Everyone was in a heavy mood. The top leaders of several major factions among the top 100 schools of thought were all seriously injured.
The only thing that made them feel fortunate was that the defending general still had the courage to go down the city alone to rescue people, otherwise they could not even imagine the consequences.
However, the three people who returned to Yanmen Pass lost the last of their energy and fell into .
When the barbarians under the city saw the three men return to Guanzhong, they did not continue their attack and returned to the camp silently.
Half a day later, Yanmen Pass Deputy General He Gu finally returned to Yanmen Pass. It was not that they were not fast enough, but they were a step slower because they went to confirm how many enemy troops had sneaked into the pass.
"What , gentlemen are back?" Deputy General Yan Ju was shocked. He knew about the actions of Jin Yao and his group, but he did not expect these people to act so swiftly and decisively.
"Maybe it failed!" Gu said after thinking for a moment.
Yan Ju nodded. They had fought with the barbarians for many years and knew how fierce they were. They also knew how difficult it was to complete a beheading in the enemy camp.
"I'll go see my debater first!" Gu was worried about Jin Yao's safety, so he immediately asked Yan Ju to arrange someone to take him to see Jin Yao.
"Together!" Yan Ju did not hesitate. He also wanted to know the outcome of Jin Yao and his group.
However, when the two arrived at the infirmary, they saw three people lying on sickbeds, their bodies wrapped in blood-red gauze, especially Tian Long, who had lost his left arm.
"Where are the others?" Yan Ju asked in a low voice.
"Is there anyone else?" The general of Yanmen Pass who was responsible for guarding the three people was stunned.
Yan Ju and Gu both had a bad feeling. If they couldn’t come back, then they wouldn’t be able to come back!
"How is the injury of Bian Shou?" Gu was most worried about Jin Yao.
In fact, the Mohists are all very clear that Jin Yao is very likely to become the next great man, and the true leader of the three veins, so he is guarded by two commanders and a hundred divine swordsmen.
But now, Jin Yao was seriously injured and unconscious. He didn't dare to think about what kind of punishment they would receive if the great master knew about it, and what kind of shock the Mohist School would have.
"Mr. Bian's internal energy is exhausted, and there is a penetrating wound on his left arm. His chest was also hit by a master's huge palm force. There are countless wounds on his body. I don't know what kind of battle he has experienced. Whether he can survive depends on himself!" The old doctor hurriedly talked about Jin Yao's condition.
Even though he had been in the army all his life, this was the first time he had seen such injuries. The other two were not much better off, with knife wounds all over their bodies.
"Sir, please have a good rest. I still have military duties to attend to, so we must return to the tent immediately!" After Yan Ju knew the injuries of the three people, although he was seriously injured, he knew more clearly what they should do at the moment.
"General, please do as you please!" Gu didn't want to care about the affairs of Yanmen Pass anymore. Now he just wanted Jin Yao to wake up and then take him back to the Mo family for treatment.
Yan Ju bowed and saluted, then headed straight for the central military tent.
"Where are the scouts?" As soon as he entered the tent, Yan Ju immediately called the commander of the scout camp.
Although Jin Yao and the other two have not woken up yet, the scout camp should be able to tell whether the beheading was successful or not.
However, the commander of the scout battalion had just stepped forward and was interrupted before he could speak.
"Yan Ju, you have overstepped your authority!" a defiant voice came.
Yan Ju frowned, his heart burning with anger, and looked at the middle-aged man in the commander's seat.
He was dressed in brocade and without a piece of armor, but he was the Crown Prince Zhao Yan who replaced Li Mu!
Before the battle between Yan and Zhao broke out, no one expected that Zhao would win a great victory . Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of the ancestral bloodline, King Xiaocheng of Zhao sent Crown Prince Zhao Yan to Dai County to replace Li Mu as the commander of Yanmen Pass.
In this way, even if Zhao was defeated in the war between Yan and Zhao, Handan fell, and he died, Zhao Yan could still occupy Dai County and have the hope of restoring his country.
However, because Zhao won a great victory in the Battle of Yan and Zhao, Zhao Yan also felt that Zhao could defeat five enemies alone, so he directly rejected Li Mu's order to keep the troops in place and clear the fields, and took the initiative to attack and fight against the barbarians.
Yan Ju knew very well that the Zhao army was not as strong as he had imagined, and was even weaker than the barbarians. Therefore, he pretended to obey Zhao Yan's orders but secretly pretended that he could not find the barbarians.
However, no one expected that Zhao Yan's incompetence was so outrageous. The beacons lit in Yunzhong and Jiuyuan were concealed by Zhao Yan. As a result, the barbarians had formed a large army and had lurked in and besieged Yanmen Pass, while the entire Yanmen Pass was unaware of it and there was no time to notify the people to retreat to the surrounding cities.
"Greetings, Prince Yan!" Although Yan Ju was angry, he had to step forward and salute.
Zhao Yan then nodded proudly, looked at the commander of the scout camp with satisfaction and asked, "General, please speak!"
The commander of the scout camp was stunned for a moment. Yan Ju asked him to come forward, but didn't ask him anything. He didn't know what to answer, so he looked at Yan Ju almost pleadingly.
"Was there any unusual movement in the barbarian camp outside Yanmen Pass last night?" Yan Ju asked while suppressing his anger.
"Yes, I don't know what happened in the barbarian camp this morning. Suddenly, a fire broke out in the rear. I think some heroes took action and burned the enemy's baggage and food, but it was quickly put out. The loss should not be great." said the scout leader.
"Then the barbarian army fell into chaos. Ten thousand cavalrymen left the camp and headed straight for Yanmen Pass, but they retreated in the end." The commander of the scout camp continued.
"Didn't you see why the other side left the camp?" Yan Ju glared at the commander of the scout camp, grabbed his shoulders and asked angrily.
"We understand..." The commander of the scout battalion lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
They did see the Hun army chasing Jin Yao and his group, but they did nothing .
“Since you knew that, why didn’t you send troops to rescue and just watch like that?” Yan Ju became even angrier.
The 3,000 men of the Yanmen Pass Scout Camp just watched the barbarians chasing and killing their comrades without doing anything. How could he have the face to see Jin Yao and the others again!
"The prince does not allow it !" The commander of the scout camp answered in a low voice. If Li Mu was there, how could he just stand there and watch? He would have taken action to stop the pursuers without even asking for permission.
Unfortunately, the commander-in-chief was replaced by Prince Yan, and Prince Yan’s first military order was that all matters, no matter how big or small, had to be reported to him.
Therefore, after they asked for instructions, the answer they got was no!
Then when they wanted to disobey the order again, it was too late. They could only watch the general defending the city go down to rescue people.
This is also the reason why Yanmen Pass closed its gates before Jin Yao and others returned.
