There was silence above the lobby, and the heavy breathing of the generals of the Northwest Army seemed to be amplified countless times. They were angry because of Ma Bin's words, but they were also guilty and embarrassed because they were the facts. For a moment, I didn't know what to say. wanted to angrily reprimand Ma Bin's rudeness, but he couldn't refute Ma Bin's words, it was really painful.

Sun Wanchun took a long breath and said in a dumb voice: "We will definitely avenge the enmity of Lord Yuan and the soldiers in the northwest." However, we must not fail to take into account the actual situation. Lord Yuan and the fallen soldiers died at the hands of the Jurchens, of course we will remember this hatred, and we will definitely pay for it with blood. However, our current strength is not enough to avenge them, and our Northwest Army has been greatly damaged, with less than 30,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 infantry left, which is not enough to compete with the Jurchens. Now if you want to avenge Lord Yuan and them, you can only fight to the death, regardless of the consequences. Of course we can do that, but that would be irresponsible. If Lord Yuan had a spirit in heaven, he would not allow us to do so. Once we are all killed in battle, Western Xia will be in chaos. Lord Yuan's family, the parents, wives and children of the fallen soldiers are all in Xingqing Mansion, and we will return to Western Xia, at least we can stabilize Western Xia and protect their integrity. If you punish the anger of the moment, you will not be able to deal with the heroic spirits of Lord Yuan and the fallen soldiers. Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and we have sworn to heaven that when the time comes, we will teach them to pay for their blood debts. ”

"Exactly, we are not unrighteous people, and we have all sworn that we will take revenge. Returning now is just a stopgap measure. We are not afraid of death, but we cannot give our lives in vain. The generals also shouted.

Ma Bin laughed and said: "It's the first time I've seen it to say that the cowardly escape is so high-sounding, it's really an eye-opener." ”

Sun Wanchun finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Ma Bin, if you dare to make a big deal of nonsense again, don't blame me for being polite, we are already very polite to you." ”

Ma Bin sneered: "You guys are really pitiful, up to now, you don't even know who you were calculated, you don't even know who your enemy is, do you say you are confused." ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu can't bear this guy anymore, General Sun, I'm going to cut this guy with one sword." A Northwest Army general drew his blade and shouted.

Sun Wanchun frowned and said, "Slow down, you have to ask him to understand." Ma Bin, what do you mean by the words of the right talent? ”

Ma Bin sneered: "Do you think that only the Jurchens are the culprits who killed Lord Yuan and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of your Northwest Army?" ”

Sun Wanchun said coldly: "Isn't it? ”

Ma Bin laughed and said, "It's really confused. Yes, Lord Yuan and the soldiers of the Northwest Army who died in battle were indeed killed in battle with the Jurchens. But, really

But the culprits of righteousness are those who are hidden in the shadows and are plotting against you. It is precisely because some people are secretly doing bad things that how did your Northwest Army end up in such a situation today? Someone has betrayed you for their own selfishness, for the sake of stealing the country's profits, and has calculated you. Before sending you to the Jurchen iron cavalry, you will be annihilated by the Northwest Army. The Jurchens naturally deserve to die, but even more damn are the people who calculate you, but you don't know anything. ”

Sun Wanchun and the others were stunned and shouted, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Ma Bin sneered: "Tell you fools that the one who calculates you is the old thief Lu Zhongtian." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Sun Wanchun laughed and said, "Ma Bin, why do you bother to blame others? You want us to submit to the new emperor and send troops to work for your Luoyan army, but you don't have to blame Lu Zhongtian to achieve your goal. I said, we don't get involved in the matter between Lu Zhongtian and you, I'm afraid it's futile for you to do this, we don't believe it. ”

Ma Bin sighed and said: "It's still my Marshal Lin's guess is right, he was worried in his letter to me that you must not know about Lu Zhongtian's conspiracy and ambition, and he guessed that Lu Zhongtian must have contacted you many times and asked you to help him." Of course, you don't want to help Lu Zhongtian, because he is now colluding with the Jurchens. You are also prejudiced against our Luoyan Army, because Guo Kun died at the hands of our Luoyan Army. Because of this, you were disheartened and decided not to help each other, and went back to Xingqing Mansion to defend Western Xia and do your duty. It's not that you don't want revenge, it's just that you really aren't the Jurchens' opponents. You don't want to join forces with either side, so you have to go home. Marshal Lin has figured out all your thoughts, and you are really like this. ”

Sun Wanchun and the others were secretly frightened, Ma Bin's words were exactly the factors they considered when discussing before. Lu Zhongtian had already sent people to contact him several times, asking the Northwest Army to submit to him. In a secret letter to Sun Wanchun, Lü Zhongtian explained the reason for his cooperation with the Jurchens, saying that he only used the Jurchens' soldiers and horses to first defeat the internal thieves and solve the rebels, and then he would have a showdown with the Jurchens and drive them out of the Great Zhou. At the moment, cooperation is just an expedient measure. But Sun Wanchun was emotionally difficult to accept, so they didn't agree to Lu Zhongtian. As for Lin Jue's Luoyan Army, Sun Wanchun and others originally had no likes or dislikes, but the emperor's death at the hands of the Luoyan Army discouraged the Northwest Army. The result of the discussion was that the remnants of the Northwest Army retreated to Western Xia, and the two did not help each other, and first stabilized Western Xia. After all, the vitality of the Northwest Army is greatly damaged, and the situation in Western Xia may be chaotic, and there is no hope of revenge at the moment, so it is better to retreat and seek the next best.

What is surprising is that Lin Jue actually knows all this, and what he said is not wrong at all.

"The surname is Ma, why do you pretend to be a ghost, you said that Lu Xiang secretly designed Lord Yuan and me

Northwest Army, what evidence is there? If there is no evidence, it is nonsense. A general shouted.

Ma Bin said in a deep voice: "Marshal Lin knew that you would not believe it, so he ordered me to bring the evidence." ”

Ma Bin said, reached into his arms and took out a letter to hand it to Sun Wanchun, Sun Wanchun hesitated to take it, took out the letterhead to check, and suddenly his expression changed sharply, and he shouted: "This is ...... This is the emperor's edict? ”

Ma Bin shook his head and said, "To be precise, this is Guo Xu's confession." It's not an edict. When he was sent to the Jurchen army by Lu Zhongtian as a hostage, he was rescued by Marshal Lin and others to the Luoyan army, and this confession was written in my Luoyan army. The content of it involves the various experiences before and after Lord Yuan led the army to the capital and the battle with the Jurchens, and the evidence you want is inside. ”

Sun Wanchun eagerly read the confession quickly, and the whole person was shocked.

"Original...... So that's it...... Originally...... Lord Yuan was really calculated. Sun Wanchun muttered.

"General Sun, what is written on it?" The generals shouted.

Ma Bin sneered: "What else can it be?" The old thief Lu has long had the intention of taking advantage of the chaos to steal the country, and the Jurchen and Liao people attacked our Great Zhou, which was the opportunity he dreamed of stealing the country. When the Jurchen army approached the city, the Lu thief had already put Guo Xu in the air and fully controlled the power of the imperial court. When the Northwest Army came to the rescue, the emperor summoned Lord Yuan, hoping that Lord Yuan would lead the army into Beijing to balance Lu Zhongtian's power and prevent Lu Zhongtian from covering the sky with one hand. Lu Thief has eyes and ears around the emperor, and when he learned everything, he did not dare to let your Northwest Army enter the city, and deceived Lord Yuan to launch an attack on the Jurchens, saying that he would lead the forbidden army in the city to carry out a plan of east-west flanking with the Northwest Army to annihilate the Jurchens in one fell swoop. Lord Yuan did not know his sinister intentions, and thought that this was a good plan to annihilate the Jurchens, so he launched an attack. As everyone knows, the Jurchens have the Tiefutu cavalry, and they are almost invincible in frontal combat, while Lu Zhongtian does not move, and sits back and watches the Northwest Army fight alone. You've all been through that battle, so I don't need to say more. Lu Zhongtian deliberately concealed the fact that the Jurchens had invincible heavy cavalry, and tricked Lord Yuan into attacking, but he would not save him when he saw death. The reason why your Northwest Army has reached this point today is because this old thief deliberately designed to frame it. Although the Jurchens were the culprits who killed Lord Yuan, the culprit behind it was designed by the Lu thief. Guo Xu was then placed under house arrest and forced to issue the so-called Zen edict and voluntarily went to the Jurchen army as a hostage. All of this is a series of designs of Lu Thief. Hehe, you're still in the dark. ”

The generals of the Northwest Army were stunned, and someone murmured, "General Sun, this ...... Is this all true? ”

Sun Wanchun stared at the confession book in his hand and said in a dumb voice: "I'm afraid, these are all ...... Really. ”
