The general who opened his mouth was Deputy General Wuwei, called Long Xiong, this person was upright and loyal, and he would never engage in deception if he had anything to say.

He is the only one who dares to speak like this, and this is someone else, who will never dare to take the initiative to take responsibility.

Long Xiong's responsibility, Wang Zhenshan's face was calm, and he just said lightly.

"Okay, since Long Xiong is willing to take responsibility, Bendu Hu will satisfy you, put your affairs aside, and when the accountability is over, it will be decided together."

Long Xiong nodded, and before retreating to the side, he still clenched his fists and begged many times, not to punish his generals, he was willing to bear it with all his might.

Wang Zhenshan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say much, and when Long Xiong saw this, he could only step aside for the time being.

Even a lieutenant like Long Xiong, who was admired by Wang Zhenshan, was miserably snubbed, which is enough to see how heavy the punishment is for this delay in time.

Everyone's hearts trembled, Long Xiong dared to speak up and was willing to take responsibility, that was because he was straightforward, but it didn't mean that everyone else could do the same.

Not long after Long Xiong spoke, the rest of the lieutenants all explained one after another, on the surface, they could hear their self-blame and were willing to accept punishment, but it was absolutely impossible to really be like Long Xiong.

Wang Zhenshan didn't say a word when these lieutenants spoke, and after listening to the explanation, they asked each of them to step aside, followed by the explanations of the ten military castle masters.

The first to bear the brunt is the military fort closest to the capital moat, the Kexi military fort master, Sun Zhong.

He didn't hesitate, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and said again and again, "Lord Du Hu and the Overseer, I was wrong, this support, it was a small one who was carried away by fear, and I heard that tens of thousands of evil armies were besieging the city, and I was afraid for a while, so I was..."

"I hope that the Lord Protector and the Overseer will spare their lives, and the little ones don't dare to spare the little ones, so spare the lives of the little ones."

Li Zhong's body trembled, his unconscious head touched the ground, and he couldn't stop begging for mercy.

Among the seventeen adjutant generals and fort masters summoned this time, Li Zhong was the first fort lord to take the initiative to admit his guilt.

It's not that he doesn't want to hide it, but Kexi Fort is not like Wuwei and Longquan Military Town, so it can be said that because of the long distance, you can find a reason for anything on the road.

It was one of the three military forts closest to the capital city, and the reinforcements from the other two forts all arrived on time, so he delayed his arrival until the withdrawal of the Hui evil army.

You don't have to guess to know that Li Zhong's future reason, if he dares to deceive, he is afraid that the end will be even worse, since he knows that he can't hide it, he simply takes the initiative to admit it.

Li Zhong's confession, Wang Zhenshan's face was still calm, and then he said softly.

"Okay, since Li Zhong pleaded guilty to the law, Bendu protects according to the law of war, and those who delay the deadline will be immediately beheaded, and someone will push Li Zhong out and behead him immediately."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire room froze instantly, and it was Li Zhong who broke the atmosphere.

His face showed a look of horror, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "I beg the Lord Protector and the Overseer to spare the little one's life, the little one will not dare anymore, the little one is willing to atone for his sins, and I beg the Lord Protector and the Overseer." ”

But no matter how Li Zhong begged for mercy, Su Qi'an and Wang Zhenshan were expressionless and indifferent, and soon, a team of soldiers outside the house walked in and wanted to take Li Zhong down.

But at this time, one of the lord of the military fort spoke out to stop him.

"Wait!"

Wang Zhenshan looked at the military castle lord who spoke up, and said softly, "Sun Liang, do you want to intercede for Li Zhong?" Don't think that if you support in time this time, you'll be fine, you should know that the city was almost lost this time, what does it mean, if you don't say anything, you can protect the past without blame, if not, you will bear the consequences. ”

Wang Zhenshan said this, but anyone who knows it in his heart will choose to protect himself as soon as possible, but this Sun Liang did the opposite.

He stood up, clasped his fists at Wang Zhenshan and Su Qi'an, and then said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Back to the two adults, Li Zhong's so-called, according to the law, delay time, and immediately forgiveness is right, but it depends on Li Zhong's years of conscientious dedication to his duties, whether he can spare his life."

"The subordinates know that what they say today must be a taboo, but even so, the subordinates still don't vomit unpleasantly, and it just so happens that the Overseer is also there, so the subordinates will say it happily, even if the Lord Du Hu asks for the heads of his subordinates, the subordinates will never complain."

"You!" Wang Zhenshan was obviously angry by Sun Liang's words, he still knew about Sun Liang, it wasn't very good, but it was definitely not bad, it was decent.

But such a decent person dared to speak as outspoken as Long Xiong one day, which somewhat surprised Wang Zhenshan.

It's not that he can't listen to outspokenness, but if everyone is like this, then how can he manage a group of deputy generals and military fort masters, and how can he maintain the stability of Ganzhou.

Just when Wang Zhenshan planned to use his own prestige to suppress Sun Liang, he was stopped by Su Qi'an on the side.

Su Qi'an looked at Sun Liang and said with a smile, "It's rare to be able to meet such an outspoken military castle master in Ganzhou, since you have something to say, this overseer will let you say it happily." ”

After receiving Su Qi'an's order, Sun Liang was silent for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then said unhurriedly.

"Ganzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and many officials are reluctant to come, and regard Ganzhou as a bitter cold place, which does not need to be said by subordinates, and the Overseer should also understand."

"What my subordinates want to say is that Ganzhou is located in a remote area, and those who can come here to serve as officials, whether they are deputy generals or the military fort masters below, will stay for more than ten years, or even longer, not to mention how much contribution they have made, but there is no merit and hard work."

"Don't the Overseers know how bad the forts are? His subordinates admitted that Li Zhong had done something wrong because of a moment of fear, but he couldn't erase his more than ten years of dedication because of this incident. ”

"This accountability, the subordinates know that in addition to accountability, the Overseers should have also heard some rumors, saying that some military fort owners are collaborating with the enemy and treason, providing a hiding place for the evil soldiers."

"My subordinates would rather ask the Overseer what bullshit the nonsense of the leader of the evil alliance than trust the loyal and dutiful generals of Ganzhou?"

"Lord Overseer, the imperial court sent you over, whether it is to help the two northwestern states to calm the border security, or to help Hui evil take Ganzhou!"

"Sun Liang, you are bold! was so disrespectful, insulting the officials of the court, come here, take down Sun Liang! ”

It was not Wang Zhenshan who spoke, but Xiao Fei, the deputy general of Longquan, who was also one of the few reinforcements who could support in time this time.

Sun Liang's eloquent talk, in the end, anyone can hear it, he is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and he can also feel his dissatisfaction.

Xiao Fei was right to order to take it, if he was allowed to continue to talk nonsense, it was likely that Su Qi'an would be offended, and if he didn't do it, he would anger them.

Just when the soldiers outside the door were about to take down Sun Liang, Su Qi'an smiled, waved his hand, signaled the soldiers to retreat, and looked at Sun Liang with a smile.

"Hehe, having said all this, it turns out that you are coming at me, it seems that your resentment towards this Overseer is quite big."

"Hmph, it was originally true, how bitter the generals in Ganzhou are, can you high-ranking court officials know?"

"Since I dare to say it, I am ready to move my head, even if I am killed, I have no regrets, I am aggrieved for my colleagues, unwilling!"

"Why do you listen to what the enemy says and conclude that we are traitors, who knows how hard we are in Ganzhou? And who did you notify, Lord Overseer? This battle was won and the crisis was resolved, but do you know how many people died in the non-stop support along the way? ”

"And the result of this battle, don't even think about it, Lord Overseer is naturally the first to take the lead, and when the time comes to return to Kyoto, he will praise it again, and what do we underappreciated warriors get?"

"I'm just not convinced of you! Even if you kill me, I won't accept it! ”

"Sun Liang, that's enough! Protect your mouth from Pontus! ”

The more Sun Liang spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, Wang Zhenshan, who was silent on the side, shouted angrily, which suddenly made the room a lot quieter.

Although it was quiet, the other lieutenant generals, the lord of the military fort, all had their eyes flashing, and their faces changed slightly.

What Sun Liang said is indeed a bit radical, but this is the truth, the hardships of the two northwestern states are not something that ordinary people can understand.

First of all, the environment is harsh, more than half of the year is dusty weather, and there is little land suitable for cultivation in the territory.

As a result, the city was barely self-sufficient, and the other military towns basically had to be supported by the imperial court.

However, the two northwestern states are vast and sparsely populated, and if you want to reach the military towns, logistics is a big problem, and the supply line is long, and it is nothing when the national strength of Daliang is at its peak.

But now that the Daliang River is declining, the logistics supply will be interrupted from time to time, coupled with the layers of deductions at all levels from time to time, less than half of them are really in their hands.

It can be said that basically they rarely have a full meal, coupled with the occasional commotion on the border, outsiders think that the two northwestern states have been stable for more than ten years, but in fact, they will face small-scale attacks in three days.

The so-called stability is based on little by little, and the officials of Kyoto and the interior of the Great Liang Kyoto eat delicious food every day, enjoy life, make a windfall from time to time, and live a life that does not know how happy and chic.

As for them, they were faced with the yellow sand all day long, and a long period of loneliness and desolation, but in the end, just because of Saktu's sentence, there were people in the Ganzhou military fort who had him, and they began to scrutinize it.

It's not excessive, it's chilling.

Everyone was silent, Sun Liang said boldly, but he said what was in his heart, and there was a deep admiration in his eyes when he looked at Sun Liang.

At this time, Long Xiong, who had retreated to the side and had an upright temperament, walked out and clenched his fists to intercede for Sun Liang.

"Overseer, Lord Duhu, I, Long Xiong, am a rough man, I don't know what is the sophistication of the official, and I don't know what twists and turns, but what Brother Sun Liang said, I agree, if you want to execute Sun Liang, I, Long Xiong, am willing to go on the road together, there is no other word."
