Chapter 93 The Best Time (2)
"By the way, didn't the Zhao army only send 80,000 this time? In this case, even if we really fight head-on, we won't lose."
A general who was obviously shocked by General Su's momentum spoke slowly. His voice was not very loud, as if he did not dare to speak loudly on purpose. It did not sound like his usual volume either, which showed how cautious and careful he was. However, in the eyes of others, many people had already sighed secretly when they heard his words.
"Oh? General Shen, do you mean that the King of Zhao and the Zhao Army are just in vain?"
"No, no, I dare not. What I mean is——"
The man named General Shen immediately trembled after hearing what Marshal Su said. He didn't expect that he would be completely blocked just after he opened his mouth and said just one sentence. Others looked at him with disdain, and some even revealed mockery in their eyes.
"Did General Shen forget something?"
"I deserve to die."
As soon as Marshal Su finished speaking, General Shen fell to his knees, and no one else was willing to lend him a hand.
"I remember that in the past battles of King Zhao, he never seemed to have an advantage in military strength. It was really unexpected to think of this. He was able to remain undefeated every time despite the disparity in military strength? He even executed the enemy who dropped their weapons and surrendered. He deserved the title of 'God of Death' for being able to do this on the battlefield."
Su Shuai was talking to himself, seemingly not paying any attention to the person in front of him who was kneeling on the ground with his body trembling slightly.
"Why is it that the King of Zhao is so famous, but some people still ignore him? I don't want this person to be under my command at all."
"General!"
General Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, was already trembling with fear because of Su Shuai's targeted words, but from Su Shuai's tone, one could sense that he was disgusted by superficial views. The battle-hardened generals in the camp naturally understood the reason and had been careful not to bring it up, but there were still some people who were willing to risk their lives and said it out loud, which could only make others sigh for having colleagues who were so superficial in their surveillance.
"General Shen, what a pity! I thought it would be fine if you were just a little bit stupid, but I didn't want you to show your stupidity to such an extreme."
"No, General, I just wanted to—"
"Want to make a contribution?"
Before General Shen could finish, General Su's words shut him up instantly. His reaction was obvious. Only people who were greedy for money and fame would act like this. Only such people would have such shallow thoughts. However, this was a battlefield, not an officialdom...
"Do you know where this place is? Or have you forgotten who you are?"
At this time, a strange cold light began to flash in Su Shuai's eyes, and this cold light made many people start to avoid him.
“I, I, I—”
General Shen was so frightened that he was shaking all over and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"I am really disappointed. Since General Shen has forgotten, let me remind you. This is a battlefield, a place where you can lose your life at any time. In order to win and survive, you need to be cautious in everything. As a soldier and a general, don't you think people will laugh at what you said?"
"Please, please spare my life—"
"Spare my life? How do you think our army has managed to get here? How did we win so many victories? I really want to know where you were when the war started? Why didn't I seem to see you, General Shen? Hmm?"
General Su spoke in a steady tone, and General Shen's face had already turned pale. Just when everyone thought they had seen the result, a voice rang out...
"Master Su Shuai!"
A general who was about thirty years old and whose face showed that he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life walked out. His aura and expression alone surpassed the other generals present. When he came out, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became much calmer.
"General Liu Hou, what's up?"
Su Shuai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked straight at the person in front of him. Judging from Su Shuai's reaction, he seemed to have some concerns about the person in front of him?
"General Shen only spoke up to ease the situation when he saw the situation was tense. I forgot to ask Marshal Su to forgive me."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people gasped. Everyone gasped for General Liu Hou who stepped forward at this time. However, everyone was also not surprised by Liu Hou's behavior and courage.
"is that so?"
General Su spoke slowly, and although he should have been asking a question to General Shen, his eyes never left Marquis Liu.
"...General Shen may be a little tired from the months of fighting . I think this is the way it should be."
Liu Hou glanced at General Shen, who was lying on the ground, and sighed inwardly . Then he spoke up and answered for General Shen. Who could not see that Liu Hou was obviously covering up for him? But who dared to stop him?
"Oh!...Since General Liu Hou said so, I will just believe it for once."
As soon as these words came out, General Shen, who was lying limp on the ground, felt as if he had been reborn. However, just when he felt that he could feel the beating of life again, the next words made him feel as if he had fallen into the abyss of darkness...
"When General Shen feels that he has rested enough, I want to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. As General Shen said, the Zhao army only has 80,000 soldiers. Before our army captures Liancheng, I want to ask General Shen to contain the Zhao army. The method is very simple. As long as the King of Zhao dies, we can basically avoid a battle with the Zhao army, not to mention delaying it. This is very good. What do you think, General Shen?"
When hearing this, General Shen already felt that he was not far from death. It was obvious that Marshal Su wanted his life, but whether he refused or not, he already knew that he was not far from death.
