Chapter 163: Guilt

"That's really...... It's so tragic. Shen Mengting seemed to be a little silent, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, and she was about to cry, "Uncle Jiang Yuanhe...... He actually traded his life for me. I'm really ...... What a ......."

Not long after, Shen Mengting turned her gaze to Jiang Jingwen.

Jiang Jingwen is also extremely sad now, she is biting her lip, as if she has too much strength to come out.

"Silent ......"

"Sister Mengting, don't be overly sad. Father, he just did what he had to do. He left us, but he did something great. That's to bring you back. You are the hope of our Saran Kingdom, and only you can resist the invaders. Jiang Jingwen's expression gradually turned firm.

Although her eyelids have already sunken completely, this is due to her excessive sadness. But she was very determined, because she knew what she needed to do.

"Ahh......h

"Marshal Shen, you have to remember your current responsibility. If you really feel sorry for my father, you must understand his good intentions. Thou shalt accomplish what he hath commanded thou shalt lead the army over the invaders. Jiang Jingwen made an unparalleled look of deference, just to cut off the guilt in Shen Mengting's heart.

"Ahh......h

General Jiang is right. We don't have the time to grieve at the moment, and the situation is really urgent. Marshal Shen, you must be in good spirits now, so that you can be worthy of Dr. Jiang Yuanhe's dedication. Ma Liming was also beside him and persuaded directly.

Shen Mengting slowly lowered her head when she heard this, but looked thoughtfully at a position where no one was, "I understand what you said." But...... Uncle Jiang Yuanhe...... He's such a great guy. But she's trying to save me......"

"My father told me that he did it willingly. And...... He thinks he owes the country too much. In fact, as a doctor, when the country was about to be invaded, he thought that he should take the initiative to stand up, but he did not. Therefore, saving the life of the marshal is also a kind of compensation for him. Jiang Jingwen's gaze was already a little stunned, and when she slowly lifted her eyes, she just remembered that she had a helpless but satisfied expression, "I believe that when he dies, he must be happy." At least think that you are worth dying, rather than leaving like a coward. ”

Jiang Jingwen's words made Shen Mengting lift her chest suddenly, and she also recalled some of the kings she had been with her life-saving benefactor.

Uncle Jiang Yuanhe once said that he didn't want to die ordinary. He believes that even if people are completely gone, they must have their due value and make some contributions.

I believe that Jiang Yuanhe must be very relieved to see that Shen Mengting was saved.

But even so, Shen Mengting still had an unstoppable sense of sadness in her heart. She really didn't want to see such a great physician leave like this. Maybe she thinks that Jiang Yuanhe can actually make a greater contribution to the army, and definitely use the loss of her own life to save her, a derelict marshal.

"Marshal Shen, don't be overly sad, the doctors are doing what they think is right. ”

"Well, I think so too. Besides, the war is really urgent now, and the Saurons will attack again at any time, so it is better for me to think about the situation first. ”

"Yes, the reason why Jiang Yuanhe wants to save you is also for our Saran Kingdom. But if you continue to not cheer up, how can you be worthy of Jiang Yuanhe's salvation?"

"That's right! The current military situation is really very urgent! We are still waiting for the marshal to give orders! In this way, we can have an effective technique to resist the enemy. ”

The generals below also began to persuade one by one, and most of them were sincere, but Shen Mengting could not listen to them.

Shen Mengting looked directly in front of her in a daze, her vision was really a little empty. After a long time, she got up straight from the bed and walked towards the wall where there was no one.

"Marshal ......"

"Now...... Do you still think that I am a competent marshal......? Will you still trust me and work for me?" When Shen Mengting walked to a certain wall, she slowly raised her hand and touched it.

Her back is a little bleak now, like a gray loser.

"Ah, Marshal Shen, what are you talking about? Aren't you still our generalissimo? Of course, we listen to your orders, and we will certainly trust you to work for you. General Wang Bin made a respectful fist salute, and he was almost about to bow.

"Yes! We will never think that Marshal Shen has done an incompetent job. On the contrary, we all knew that it was because of Marshal Shen that we were able to win several battles in the Sauron Empire one after another. So we will be loyal to you, and there will be no half-heartedness. Ma Liming also hurriedly explained.

"Oh, is it?" Shen Mengting slowly turned her body, but her current expression was filled with a lot of grievances, "Do you really think so?"

"Of course we think so, who else here besides you Marshal Shen would dare to say that they can lead us Saran to victory?" Shen Jun also said with a pat on his chest.

His words provoked the nods of all the generals present, and they could sense that the generals really had no disagreement with the marshal.

But Shen Mengting couldn't accept it and laughed at herself, "Hehe! It seems that you are really giving me face! But although you have said this, I can't get out of this hurdle of my own." ”

"Ah, Shen Mengting, why are you saying that?" Qian Hao showed distress, and took a step forward to show that he was closest to Shen Mengting.

"It can be said that this defeat was caused by my command mistakes. So you still want to treat me as a marshal?" Shen Mengting smiled miserably, but she couldn't hide the helplessness in her expression.

"Marshal, you can't say it like this!" Probably in order to cut off the sadness in the conversation, General Wang Bin deliberately put on a smiling face, "Our defeat was caused by the treachery of the Sauronians, and it doesn't mean that the marshal made a mistake in command!"

"No, General Wang Bin, you don't have to comfort me like this. I know where I am derelict in my duties. Shen Mengting sighed highly, and then slowly let it out, "It started because of my eagerness to win." I abandoned my more conservative tactics and chose to retreat and risk dividing my forces to attack the enemy's rear. And then...... Then he was grabbed by that Lian Yunpo, and finally ate a fatal blow. ”

"This failure is generally my mistake, you don't need to comfort me, I know in my heart. In fact, the strength of our Saran Kingdom is not strong, and it should be fought steadily. But I was stubborn about winning, trying to assert my prestige. As a result, it led to a defeat that was difficult to regain. ”

After Shen Mengting finished speaking, she sighed quickly, and it could be seen that she was really guilty now.

"Now that I think about it, a lot of people were very opposed to that risky tactic before I was going to do it. The regent of Zhou Zhi also criticized me for this, saying that I cared too much about military merit. Alas, if I had listened to him and continued to put my troops on the border for passive defense, perhaps even if I had suffered a defeat, I would have at least had the motivation to retreat!"

Everybody, you start looking at me, I'll look at you. In fact, in their respective hearts, they did think that Shen Mengting's tactics were too risky. But at that time, Shen Mengting's prestige reached its highest point, so no one dared to stand up against it.

The silence and depression prompted everyone to bow their heads, knowing that the end of the country seemed to be coming.

Shen Mengting looked at the sad everyone, and shook her head again, "Okay, don't comfort me too much, I know that I am no longer qualified to command this army, so I decided to ......"

As soon as Shen Mengting's words were halfway out, Qian Hao's extremely excited words erupted, "Wait!

All people's eyes were diverted to Qian Hao, but what they saw was a face that was different from what he had shown in the past. In the past, Qian Hao had always been giggled, and on his face with Chinese characters, he seemed to have infinite happiness.

But now, Qian Hao's expression was extremely serious, and his eyebrows seemed to be wrinkled forever.

"Qian Hao......"

"What are you talking about? Marshal Shen Mengting, what are you talking about now?"

"Ahh......h

"Are you trying to make excuses, or are you going to run away from something?" Qian Hao continued to 'count' people, "Is now the time for you to say this? What am I incompetent as a marshal, and I am not qualified to command the troops anymore." Now do you think it's your right to say this?"

Shen Mengting was a little embarrassed, her eyes glared angrily, as if they were two round balls.

"You should think for yourself what you should do now, no matter what the factors made this defeat possible. But now that we have come to the present situation, do you think it is time to focus on this? Now, shouldn't you unite to continue to be a marshal again, and reorganize the army to resist a strong enemy?"

Qian Hao's words were imprinted into Shen Mengting's heart, and then a powerful burst of energy burst into her chest, "Ah...... You ......"

"Shen Mengting, think about it! No matter whether you think you can still be this generalissimo, but you can't evade this responsibility. If you don't think about how to resist the invaders now, how can you be worthy of Dr. Jiang Yuanhe, who gave his life, and how can you be worthy of the thousands of brothers who died on the battlefield?"

Shen Mengting was completely shocked, and she felt a little unable to breathe, as if she was being swept into a whirlpool.

"Think about it! Shen Mengting. It's not a matter of self-blame and guilt, but don't forget your responsibilities. From the first day you become a generalissimo, you have to be in charge of this position to the end, and you can't want to abandon the territory because of any external factors. Qian Hao became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his mouth, which was constantly moving, was also full of saliva.

"yes! I think so too. Ma Liming clasped his arms with both hands, and with a casual shaking motion, "No matter who is responsible for the defeat, but the current situation should be to think about how to deal with the next dilemma." We have been sent by Marshal Shen for a long time, and now we need your orders. Therefore, Marshal Shen should give up self-blame and hurry into the work of the marshal. ”

"Yes, I think so too. ”

"Me too. ”

"Well, I think it should be. ”

Again, a large number of generals echoed it, and there was no blame in their tones.

"Sister Mengting, please don't feel any guilt for my father's death. Don't lose confidence in yourself because of past failures. If you really feel guilty, you should also turn it into motivation to help our country get out of this difficult situation. This is a good compensation for all those who died in this war. Jiang Jingwen's face no longer looked like she was crying and sad, but was replaced by an extremely firm face.

"Jingwen ......" Shen Mengting's breathing was about to stop, so she stopped in her chest, "Qian Hao...... And you guys...... You ......"

"Marshal Shen, if you want to feel guilty or blame yourself, when the war is over, you can go on by yourself. But for now, we're all asking you to ...... I beg you to be ready to fulfill your duties as a marshal and to try to free our country from the minions of the aggressors. General Wang Bin officially bowed forward.

His bow caused the other generals to do the same, and they all apparently wanted Shen Mengting to continue to be her generalissimo.

"Ah! you ...... You ......" A stream of heat spread from her chest, and it quickly spread to Shen Mengting's whole body. In the end, Shen Mengting couldn't hold her breath anymore, she completely released a mouthful of qi that had been gathered, "Do you really trust me, and are you still willing to come and wait for me?"

"Oh, why are you still saying such things now? Didn't we just make it very clear? I just recognize you as the generalissimo!" Qian Hao added. Unconsciously, he seemed to have regained his old playful appearance.
