After saying this, Pei Xingjian was ready to bear the anger of Empress Wu, because no matter how respectful his tone was, this sentence was a positive refutation of Empress Wu's statement.

But what Pei Xingjian didn't expect was that after saying this, Empress Wu was not only angry, but even had a smile between his eyebrows.

"Pei Aiqing misunderstood, this palace said before, the matter of the military formation, the female flow of this palace does not understand, if you want to come to General Pei to read the military book, she will naturally choose the right strategy!"

Empress Wu's tone was still very light, but it made Pei Xingjian frightened for no reason.

"But what makes this palace strange is that General Pei is strategizing, and before using this counter-strategy, he never thought that Ashina Fu Nian would come to surrender when he couldn't bear it?"

There was a hint of coercion in her tone this time, and it was obvious that Empress Wu was very sure in her heart.

"This ......"

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Pei Xingjian's forehead, weighed it for a moment, and spoke.

"The minister naturally thought about it, but the probability of this incident happening is too small, and the minister didn't care about it at the time, just thinking about being able to destroy the enemy's military heart!"

Since his mind has been pierced, it is meaningless to deny it, so Pei Xingjian hesitated to admit it.

However, there was still a little leeway in the tone, and he didn't say it to death!

"Okay, since General Pei has thought about it, then this palace asks you, did General Pei think about it at that time, if someone on the enemy really surrenders, what should be done?"

Empress Wu put away the smile on her face, her eyes narrowed slightly, and asked.

"This ...... I didn't think about it! ”

Pei Xingjian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

He could see that Empress Wu's question was obviously not simple, Pei Xingjian was more afraid of Empress Wu's unknown trap than the crime of dereliction of duty, not to mention that this crime of dereliction of duty seemed to be a little reluctant.

After all, those things didn't happen at the time. Pei Xingjian can't think about everything!

But as soon as this sentence came out, Li Hong secretly said something bad in his heart.

Because he finally understood the purpose of the martial queen, but unfortunately it was too late!

"Well, can this palace be understood that General Pei had expected this result in advance......

Empress Wu nodded slightly, and a coldness appeared between her eyebrows.

"Then the palace has to ask General Pei. Why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big event? It took more than a few months for our army to arrive at the battlefield and return to the court, so why didn't the palace see this in any military newspaper? Since General Pei had anticipated this possibility in advance, why did he make his own claim? ”

Empress Wu's tone was more and more ruthless than one sentence, and in the end, Pei Xingjian was already in a cold sweat!

Li Hong sighed secretly in his heart.

He's not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Everyone thought that Empress Wu was going to make a fuss about Pei Xingjian's recruitment of Ashina Fu Nian, but they didn't think that Empress Wu dangled a shot, pointing directly at Pei Xingjian's crime of concealing the news.

It's good to be on the battlefield changing in a hurry. You are the boss, and you can not accept the orders of the monarch outside, and I will not interfere with any means used on the battlefield, but you have been planning for so long, but you have not reported to the top at all, what do you want to do? Do you still have a king in your eyes?

Although these words were not said by Empress Wu clearly, the meaning between her words was like this!

The Empress Wu asked so many questions before, in fact, it was to achieve a goal.

Let Pei Xingjian admit that he has the idea of surrendering Ashina Fu Nian!

Li Hong smiled bitterly in his heart. I didn't expect to take precautions, but I still planted a heel in the hands of the martial queen. He, the queen mother, is really not a simple character!

"Niangniang, the minister really didn't expect that it would really cause Ashina Funian to surrender, so he ......"

Pei Xingjian's face was ugly, and he explained forcefully.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Empress Wu.

"A wise man will make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. Of course this palace knew, but when Ashina Fu Nian went to talk to the general in secret, couldn't the general see the seriousness of the matter? Why not make this clear? ”

Empress Wu's tone was aggressive.

But the words are beautiful, I will not hold you accountable for dereliction of duty, but at that time you still concealed it. It's not a simple dereliction of duty, at worst, this is already a big sin of supporting the army and having no ruler.

"This ......"

Pei Xingjian felt bitter in his heart, because Empress Wu did poke at his sore spot.

In the whole process of the Western Expedition, the most inappropriate thing he did was here, without the holy will to privately recruit the enemy chieftain, it could be said that the matter was urgent, and the opportunity was arbitrary, but who would have thought that between the three words of the Empress Wu, this road would be blocked tightly.

Now that the matter is so serious that Empress Wu said, Pei Xingjian can't think of any reason to refute it.

Because the supervising army did ask Li Zhi to make a decision again, but he forcibly suppressed the report in the name of possible leakage of military aircraft.

He knew that this matter, as long as he arrived in Chang'an City, it would definitely be dismissed, because such a big matter, Li Zhi and Empress Wu could not make a decision, and it would inevitably have to be discussed by the political affairs hall.

But there are too many people in the political hall who don't want to see him make such a great contribution, it can be said that as long as this matter enters the political hall, there is almost no possibility of passing, not to mention that now that Datang has an advantage, then it will be more difficult to negotiate peace.

And today's military needs a solid victory to turn over, so Pei Xingjian rashly agreed to negotiate peace, he relied on the Tang Dynasty has always been the first military merit, since the founding of the country, has never dealt with a general who returned from a big victory, but at the moment, I am afraid that this convention will be broken in him.

Can we just give up?

Pei Xingjian was unwilling for a while, but it seemed that there was no other choice but to admit his guilt at the moment!

However, thinking of those soldiers who followed his birth and death, Pei Xingjian couldn't open this mouth.

He didn't care about his official position, but if the soldiers of the Western Expedition were affected because of this, he would never accept it.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Pei Xingjian.

Even Li Hong is no exception, because even he can't think of any good way, he can only say that the martial queen's shot is really unexpected, and it is fatal with one blow!

At the moment, we can only look at Pei Xingjian's own choice......

After a while, Pei Xingjian's ugly face was slowly replaced by perseverance.

Manly man, dare to be!

Since he made the wrong decision at the beginning, he naturally had to bear it by himself, gritting his teeth, Pei Xingjian said.

"Niangniang, ...... minister"

Before the word "guilty" could be spoken, Empress Wu interrupted Pei Xingjian's words again.

"Your Majesty, now that Ashina Fu Nian's surrender letter has been handed to my Tang Dynasty, why don't you just accept it? My Tang Dynasty is a **** big country, how can I go back on my word! ”

Empress Wu said with a smile at Li Zhi.
