Zhang Shumo followed Xu Jian to his camp, and Xu Jian said directly to the point: "Zhang Gongzi, you are the military advisor of this army, according to your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shumo naturally understood that Xu Jian was asking himself whether he should withdraw his troops or continue to go to Jingguo. Now that Gongsun Luo is seriously injured, Xu Jian naturally wants to withdraw the army and return to China. But in this expedition, the two armies injured the commander as soon as they fought in one face, and although they won the victory next, it was not a big victory if they killed 50,000 enemies and lost 30,000 themselves. If you return to China in such a gloomy manner, the soldiers will inevitably be blamed.

Zhang Shumo naturally didn't want Yan Guo to withdraw his troops, so he deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Now that His Highness is injured, it stands to reason that his troops should be withdrawn temporarily, and he will make plans after confirming that His Highness's injuries are okay." But after all, we represent the image of Yan Kingdom, if we take a look at the enemy army and withdraw directly, I am afraid it will damage the majesty of Yan Kingdom! Your Majesty will inevitably punish you! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo paused deliberately, and then lowered his voice and said to Xu Jian: "Although His Royal Highness is the commander of this expedition, he is also the prince, if Your Majesty wants to punish him, then the only way to blame General Xu, the deputy marshal, is to take the blame." Therefore, according to the foolish opinion below, we must not withdraw from the army now! ”

Xu Jian's eyes widened suddenly after hearing this, and Zhang Shumo's words just spoke to his heart. So he continued to ask: "But if you don't withdraw the army, if you delay Your Highness's injury, you and I won't be able to bear this responsibility at that time!" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled slightly: "We can not withdraw the army, but Your Highness can go back first!" General Xu can order the escort team to escort His Highness to evacuate first, and then we will continue to attack Jingguo, even if it is to capture one or two cities, it can be regarded as an explanation to Your Majesty! ”

Xu Jian nodded silently after hearing this: "That's the only way for now!" ”

On the other side, Shen Lang fled to Yangyuan City in a hurry under the escort of Cao Yun, Yangyuan City was an important border town in the eastern part of Jingguo, so most of the eastern army of Jingguo was stationed here. The Eastern Army originally had 150,000 troops, but due to the turmoil in the south of Jingguo, 50,000 infantry were transferred to suppress it, so only 100,000 remained.

Shen Xiao, the general of the Eastern Army, ordered his eldest son Shen Lang to lead 70,000 troops to be stationed in Yangyuan City, and he himself led 30,000 troops to be stationed in Yunzhou City.

But at this time, there were only more than 10,000 infantry and less than 10,000 light cavalry left under Shen Lang, and there were only more than 20,000 people left of the 70,000 cavalry infantry.

So Shen Lang decided to hide this news from Shen Xiao now, if the Yan people withdrew their troops, then he could claim a crushing victory, so that his father would not blame himself for being rash. If the Yan people continue to march, then they can only report to their father truthfully.

This battle has not yet come to an end, Zhang Shumo and Xu Jian chose to let the army repair in place for a day, and wait for Gongsun Luo to wake up and explain their plans to them.

On the second day, Gongsun Luo's condition was slightly better, and he immediately inquired about the battle situation of the previous day. Miao Feng explained the situation to Gongsun Luo, and after learning that he had won, Gongsun Luo also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good to win, otherwise the master of this palace will inevitably be laughed at when he returns to the court."

Miao Feng hurriedly lowered his head: "Your Highness is the future prince of Dayan, no one dares to laugh at Your Highness!" ”

Gongsun Luo originally wanted to laugh, but the wound caused by the movement was faintly painful, so he pulled down his face: "What about the doctor?" Call the doctor. ”

As soon as the doctor heard the call of His Royal Highness, he hurriedly came to Gongsun Luo and knelt down respectfully.

Gongsun Luo asked coldly, "How is my injury?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, Your Highness's shoulder and abdominal injuries are not serious, but this leg has injured your muscles and veins, and I'm afraid you will have to take care of it for a while."

When Gongsun Luo heard this, he immediately asked, "Will it affect the walking of the main palace in the future?" ”

"This ..... Small talents are shallow and inconclusive. ”

When Gongsun Luo heard this, he angrily overturned the table next to the bed. I want to be the prince in the future, if I am lame, will there be other variables? Gongsun Zhi committed the crime of rebellion, and his father didn't kill him, could it be that his father still wanted to reactivate him?

At this moment, Zhang Shumo and Xu Jian heard that Gongsun Luo had woken up, so they came over to say hello, and just happened to bump into the scene of Gongsun Luo's anger.

The two hurriedly knelt on one knee, and Zhang Shumo asked, "What made His Highness so angry?" Your Highness is a body of gold, don't be angry with your body! ”

Gongsun Luo saw that the two of them were a little calmer, these two people in front of him were worthy of his own wooing, with their help, it would be a sure thing for him to become the prince in the future.

So Gongsun Luo took a deep breath, and then said, "It's nothing, I was impulsive just now." After all, my injury may affect the battle this time! ”

Seeing that Gongsun Luo took the initiative to mention this matter, the two exchanged glances with each other, and then Xu Jian said, "Your Highness, the two of us came here to talk about this matter. Now that our army has just set out for the battle, if we withdraw the army, I am afraid that it will be laughed at by the people of Jingguo. But His Royal Highness is not in good health, and if he continues to go on the expedition, I am afraid that there will be a mistake, so we implore His Highness to return to China to recuperate, and we will continue to go to Jingguo! ”

Gongsun Luo's eyes widened when he heard this: "What? Do you want to leave Hongu behind? ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly explained: "It's not true, it's just that we're worried that His Highness's body can't bear it." ”

Gongsun Luo's eyes rolled, and he thought in his heart: Now is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, and he must not let it go.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Luo stood up with the pain, and everyone quickly knelt on the ground to persuade him.

Gongsun Luo stopped everyone and said to Xu Jian and Zhang Shumo: "Two, I know in my heart that although I am in charge of this expedition, I just occupy a position, but it is the two of you who really contribute, even if there is no Gongsun Luo in this expedition, I believe that the two of you can successfully complete the task assigned by Your Majesty!" ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Luo paused, and then continued: "But! Since I have the name of marshal, I will be loyal to the king! If you return to the country because of a small injury, won't you let others laugh at the palace? ”

After Gongsun Luo finished speaking, he was very satisfied. This passage of his own not only praised the two, but also showed his determination, believing that his behavior of fighting with injuries would definitely move them.

Zhang Shumo didn't expect Gongsun Luo to choose to continue the expedition, but this was in line with his wishes, so Zhang Shumo immediately fell to the ground: "Your Highness's words are heartfelt, although Zhang is a foreign minister, his heart is still throbbing, I believe that our army will be able to destroy the city and conquer the village under the command of His Highness, and set foot on Jingguo!" ”

Xu Jian was a little uneasy on the side, this is a war, not a tour, in case Gongsun Luo's injury worsens, it is not a joke! How could this chapter of Shumo be moved by His Highness's words, do you want to persuade Your Highness again?
