Seeing that Sun Wanchun and the generals of the Northwest Army looked gloomy, Ma Bin hurriedly said: "General Sun, generals, I'm really sorry. I don't mean to arouse your grief, but I just feel it. Don't be surprised. ”

Sun Wanchun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "General Ma doesn't have to mind. It's just that my Northwest Army has a lot of respect for Lord Yuan, and Lord Yuan's death hit us very hard, so we have not slowed down. That's not an offense to you. Let's not talk about these things. Dare to ask where General Ma came from and why? ”

Ma Bin arched his hand and said: "General Sun, generals, Ma is here to discuss important matters with General Sun and the generals of the Northwest Army on the order of my Marshal Lin. I think General Sun already knows the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and also knows the news of the battle between my Luoyan Army and the Jurchen soldiers and horses. ”

Sun Wanchun nodded slightly, in fact, as soon as Ma Bin came, he guessed that he was not far from ten, and the inquiry at the moment was just to confirm.

"We have received the news, two days ago someone sent the edict of the new emperor's enthronement to Taiyuan Mansion, and my brothers and I have also seen it. We have also heard the news that the Luoyan army led by Marshal Lin fought against the Jurchen army at the Qingshui River. I heard that it was a big victory, and we all admired Marshal Lin's skills, and also admired the bravery of the soldiers of the Luoyan Army. However, I heard that the Luoyan Army is now trapped in the ten-mile long post, and it has been almost ten days. I don't know how. ”

Ma Bin nodded and said, "It turns out that General Sun already knows so much, I'm afraid he sent scouts to listen to the news." Now that General Sun already understands the situation so well, Ma will not beat around the bush. It was on the orders of Marshal Lin that I came to discuss with General Sun and the officers and men of the Northwest Army about sending troops. Now that my Luoyan Army needs your help, I hope that General Sun can lead the officers and men of the Northwest Army to expel foreign enemies, recover the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou, and revitalize the battle of Sheji. ”

As soon as Ma Bin said this, there was silence in the yamen lobby. More than a dozen generals of the Northwest Army, including Sun Wanchun, did not react, on the contrary, some of them still had strange smiles.

"Sure enough, they really came to bring rescue troops and asked us to help them break the siege. General Sun was not wrong at all. Hey. A square-faced general chuckled under his breath. Although the voice was soft, Ma Bin could hear it clearly.

"Isn't it? They are surrounded, and it is estimated that it is difficult to get out of the predicament, so they can only come to us at this moment. Ay. Someone said with a low sigh.

Ma Bin hurriedly said: "Don't be mistaken, our Luoyan Army didn't come to you for help when we were trapped, in fact, we were deliberately trapped in the ten-mile long post, which was all Marshal Lin's strategy." The Jurchens have nothing to do with us, a few days ago the Jurchens tried to attack, and were annihilated by our Luoyan army of nearly 30,000 people, they were at a loss, they only dared to besiege, did not dare to attack. ”

When Ma Bin said this, all the generals of the Northwest Army showed strange looks, as if they took Ma Bin's words as a joke. Indeed, Ma Bin's words are indeed like a joke, how can anyone who is willing to be besieged by the enemy's army on his own initiative, and he doesn't need to prevaricate with this kind of words in order to look good, it sounds really ridiculous.

"Vice Marshal Ma, this ...... I'll be honest with you. My brothers and I have already discussed this morning, and tomorrow morning we will lead our army back to Western Xia. It's a coincidence that you've come today, and if it's a day late, we'll have already left Taiyuan Mansion. As for the matter of Lord Lin sending someone to contact him before, Sun could only live up to Lord Lin's kindness. Our Northwest Army came from Western Xia and had to go back to Western Xia. Where are our parents, wives and children, and our people who have refuge? Our Northwest Army has no ability to help the imperial court, so we can only retreat to Western Xia to protect ourselves. Vice Marshal Ma's request for coming today is also forgiving us for not being able to help you. Please also return to Marshal Lin and ask him to forgive him. Sun Wanchun said slowly.

Ma Bin exclaimed in surprise: "What? Will you withdraw to Western Xia? How can you do that? It really doesn't make sense. ”

Sun Wanchun frowned and said: "I said, the foundation of our Northwest Army is in Western Xia, and the wives and children, parents and relatives of our soldiers are all in Western Xia. Our food and supplies are also in Western Xia, and it is the wisest choice for us to retreat from Western Xia. ”

Ma Bin shouted: "But now that the Great Zhou is in a national crisis, how can you abandon it?" You are the soldiers and horses of the court. What are you doing this? ”

Sun Wanchun smiled bitterly: "The imperial court? Is there still a court in the Great Zhou? Do you mean the new emperor Guo Kun who ascended the throne? I'm sorry, but we don't agree that he is the emperor of the Great Zhou. Guo Kun killed the emperor in order to ascend the throne, don't think we don't know about this matter. At this time, Guo Kun also did this kind of aggravating thing, which is really cold. We understand that you Luo Yan Army elected him to the throne as emperor. But this may not convince the world. Our Northwest Army is the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but it is not the soldiers and horses of the new emperor you recommended. We express our admiration for you coming out of the mountains to fight against the Jurchens at this time. But the motive is not pure, isn't it to take the opportunity to seize the world? ”

Ma Bin frowned and shook his head and said, "Confused, General Sun, I never expected you to be such a confused person." Is it because Lord Lin and the little prince have betrayed the imperial court, do you disagree with their identities? The new emperor is the Guo royal family, Marshal Lin and we also indicated the banner when we raised the flag in Funiu Mountain, only anti-Guo Xu and not anti-Da Zhou, don't you all know? ”

A general of the Northwest Army shouted coldly: "General Ma, who is confused? This is the Northwest Army, we have the final say here, and it is not your turn to dictate. We have to leave, we want to stay, and it has nothing to do with your Luoyan Army. If you want to use the new emperor or Marshal Lin to pressure us, it is a big mistake. We don't eat your set. ”

Ma Bin's face turned red, and he couldn't help but scold angrily: "You are all a bunch of fools, with no responsibility and no knowledge. I thought the Northwest Army was a group of men, but I didn't expect it to be a group of shrunken-headed turtle bastards. ”

"Say what? Who do you scold? Dog. Mother-raised! ”

"Slaughtered the dog. The mother raised him, told him to spew feces all over his mouth, and ran to our Northwest Army to spread the wilderness. ”

The generals of the Northwest Army stood up one after another, pointed at Ma Bin's nose and scolded endlessly, and the blades were rippling.

Ma Bin looked at him coldly and did not show weakness. It means to draw a knife and do it.

"Shut up!" Sun Wanchun shouted in a deep voice, but he also had his own majesty. The generals glared at Ma Bin angrily, and the blade was pulled out in half but no longer pulled out.

"General Ma, Sun respects you for three points, but he can't tolerate your outrageous words. The officers and men of our Northwest Army are all well-known men, and they are all heroes who are not afraid of death, so you must not speak foul language. We don't want to talk about who's right and who's wrong, it's just that in the current situation, we don't want to get involved anymore. Yes, we are indeed the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but we are here, and 250,000 good men of the Northwest Army have traveled thousands of miles to the capital to fight for the Great Zhou. Now more than 100,000 soldiers, including Lord Yuan, have shed their blood on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. You scold me that the Northwest Army is a turtle with a shrunken head? That is the heroic spirit that humiliated Lord Yuan and hundreds of thousands of fallen soldiers. You need to apologize. Sun Wanchun turned his head and shouted at Ma Bin in a deep voice, his words already carrying a murderous aura.

Ma Bin also realized that he was too emotional, and tried his best to restrain his impulsive emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Ma is not scolding the soldiers of the Northwest Army who died in battle, nor is it Lord Yuan who is scolding, they are all well-known hot-blooded men, and they do not dishonor the prestige of the Northwest Army." I am scolding you people, who want to withdraw troops at this time, who are cowardly and afraid of death, dare not take responsibility, and are disloyal and unjust. I can apologize for scolding Lord Yuan and the fallen soldiers by mistake, but if I want to apologize to you disloyal and unrighteous people, it is a fantasy. It's impossible to kill me. ”

"Shit, that's going to kill you."

"What is horizontal? The dog stuff is tired of living. ”

The generals were noisy again.

Sun Wanchun was obviously also really angry, and said coldly: "Ma Bin, if you provoke us like this and insult us, don't blame me for being polite." I don't care about killing you, I don't have a relationship with you, and I don't have to be responsible for your Marshal Lin. ”

Ma Bin suddenly tore open the clothes on his chest, patted his furry chest and sneered: "Kill it, I'm not a good man when I frown half of my brows." I just regret that I didn't die on the battlefield where I killed the enemy, but at the hands of you unfaithful and unrighteous people. Die with a grievance or everlasting regret. ”

Sun Wanchun said angrily: "What is disloyalty and injustice? The court to which we are loyal is gone, and now we must be loyal to our families and parents and the people of Western Xia, and we must protect ourselves. We don't want to get involved in your fights. Lu Zhongtian also said that he was the imperial court, and you also said that you were the imperial court, and we didn't want to get involved in your affairs, our Northwest Army had already suffered heavy losses, and we didn't want to be your tool anymore. Don't try to deceive us with any words of loyalty to the court. ”

Ma Bin laughed and said, "Okay, even if you don't agree with the new emperor and don't want to get involved in the things in front of you, what about righteousness?" Won't you avenge Lord Yuan? Do you not avenge your dead brothers? Just gone? What righteousness do you have? You don't even take revenge, are you human? You have tarnished the prestige of the Northwest Army, and Lord Yuan is afraid that it will be difficult for him to turn a blind eye in the spirit of the sky. ”

As soon as Ma Bin's words came out, Sun Wanchun's face turned red, revealing a very tangled look. Indeed, Ma Bin's words hit their soft underbelly. They are withdrawing their troops at this moment, and the only thing that cannot be said is this. They did not seek justice and revenge for Yuan Zhenqian and the dead soldiers, which was their greatest regret.
