Hearing Simpson's words, Li Zijun couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, this old fox is indeed cunning!

On the surface, Simpson is shirking responsibility by saying this, but in fact, he is using this to induce Marcus to take the initiative to take responsibility, so that Marcus will be in charge.

"Lord Supervisor, everyone, please rest assured! If in the future, the imperial court thinks that there is a problem with the handling of this matter and someone needs to stand up and take responsibility, I am willing to bear it with all my might, and I promise that no one will be implicated!" Sure enough, as Li Zijun and Simpson expected, Marcas stood up without hesitation.

"Gertu, do your brothers disagree on this?" Simpson was noncommittal about Marcas's assurance, turning his gaze to the faces of the other princes.

"Even though the situation is dire right now, it's hard for me to accept the act of giving up territory without a fight. For a while, I couldn't think of a better way to deal with it than to withdraw. Therefore, I have decided to abstain from voting on this resolution!" Gertu was very satisfied with his 'quick' answer, and his face could not help but show a little smugness.

Idiot!

Li Zijun and Simpson invariably raised these two words in their hearts, and they both knew very well that Gertu gave up not only the right to vote on the resolution, but also the future inheritance of Aojin!

If Gertu were an ordinary general, or even a prince at the bottom of the ranks, he would be the head of all the princes! With his status, he must not waver at such a critical moment! At this time, he must make his own judgment, even if it is wrong! Because this judgment represents his responsibility!

The word 'abstention' must not be heard from his lips. Especially the soldiers who have 'taken responsibility' as their creed!

At this time, in this big tent of the Chinese army, it just includes most of the elites of the Aojin military. Without their trust and support, Gertu's future fate can be imagined!

Next. Although Laga and Ninan's table xiàn is slightly better than Geltu, it is only a gap of fifty and a hundred steps, and there are no bright spots to speak of.

"Fifth brother, how about letting my brother accompany you in this situation?" the fourth prince smiled at Marcas. His speech finally saved some face for the princes.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother!" Marcus didn't expect that Bo Bald, who had been 'slipping away', would support him clearly at this time, and he stood up a little unexpectedly and sincerely expressed his gratitude to his fourth brother.

Bobald's speech reversed the atmosphere of decadence in the big tent. Maher and the other two princes immediately expressed their support for Marcas.

The appearance of the four princes pleased Simpson, and his tense face finally showed a slight smile.

Due to the stealing away of Lei Bin's generals, most of the generals in the camp are now close to Conrad and Simpson, and after Conrad was accidentally assassinated and fell into a coma, they naturally took Simpson's head as the leader.

Seeing Simpson on such an expression at this moment, of course they would not have any different opinions. Before Simpson could ask them, one by one they had already stood up and agreed with Marcus's plan.

"Everyone has expressed their opinions on this plan, and now I will share my opinion. ”

"It's very simple, just two points:"

"One. I myself fully agree with His Highness Marcas's plan to retreat!"

"It's really hard to accept retreating without a fight! To tell you the truth, just now, I didn't know the situation, and I was even asking Archduke Ed to give advice on how to drive the Fengqi army out of our homeland!" Simpson said. He shook his head with a wry smile.

"It seems that in the short term, this can only be my wishful thinking!"

"But it's nothing, as long as we can learn from it and work hard. We'll be able to call back sooner or later!"

"Second, the snake cannot be left without a head, and the soldiers are in chaos without an owner!" Marshal Conrad has been in a coma since his assassination. There is no sign of improvement yet, so I propose that His Highness Marcus temporarily assume the post of commander-in-chief of the army, until Marshal Conrad can resume command. ”

"As always. All orders signed by His Highness Marcas during his acting duties will be shared with him and I!"

"Do you have any objections to this?" asked Simpson, raising his hand to push Marcus back into his place, looking around.

After Conrad's assassination, many of the princes and generals in the battalion coveted the position, but that was before they learned of Feng Qi's powerful 'invisible force'.

Now everyone understands that whoever sits in that seat is like setting a fire. There is no hope of victory! That means that the person who finally sits on the throne has only responsibility and no merit!

The situation has reached this point that 'wise self-preservation' has become the natural choice of every 'smart person'.

Especially under Simpson's almost decision-making inquiry, no one will take the initiative to stand up and make trouble for themselves.

The Simpson's building yì soon gained full access guò!

Time was pressing, Marcas just briefly politely said a few words, and under the guidance of Simpson, he sat in the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Marcas, who received the seal, immediately began to issue orders. As one order after another was issued, the generals in the tent, who were still skeptical of Marcas's ability, finally breathed a sigh of relief. And Simpson, who was under great pressure, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief!

Feeling the increasingly trusting eyes of the people around him, Marcas was faintly proud in his heart, and he was more and more grateful to Li Zijun.

It is Li Zijun's help and guidance during this period of time that makes him sway freely today, and he can be recognized by the generals so smoothly!

Looking at Marcas, who is becoming more and more confident and throws grateful eyes to him from time to time, Li Zijun's heart is also quite relieved that this friend of his has finally truly matured!

But as soon as this thought arose in Li Zijun's heart, Marcas made an immature decision:

"I'll personally lead Bridget's cavalry battalion and the Seventh Reserve to lag behind!" Marcas changed his original plan to have Li Zijun in charge of delaying the delay.

"I'm against it!" Marcus could finish speaking, and Li Zijun and Simpson stood up together.

"Grand Duke, can you let me say a few words first?"

After all, Li Zijun lived in this place, and Simpson said it so politely, at this time, he was not good at objecting, he smiled and nodded to Simpson.

"Your Highness, you are now our commander-in-chief! You must remain in charge of commanding the overall situation! If you make any mistakes, it will not only deal a huge blow to the morale of our army, but will also very likely affect the smooth implementation of our army's retreat plan!"

"If Your Highness believes in my abilities and does not think that I am too old to be old, I will apply: I will lead the cavalry battalion and the seventh reserve of His Royal Highness! I promise that as long as I still have a breath of air, I will never let a single soldier of the Fengqi army cross us!"

"Uncle!"

"Your Excellency!"

Hearing Simpson's words, not only Marcus, but also the rest of the camp became excited.

Everyone understands that although the queen in charge of the palace this time will not die for a lifetime, it is definitely dangerous!

Marcas, who set up the plan with Li Zijun, has a deeper understanding of this, which is why he temporarily replaced Li Zijun!

Of course, Marcus didn't want Simpson to take on this burden, but Simpson involved this matter with ability and old age, and for a while, he didn't know how to refuse the veteran's application!

"Lord Overseer, you're done, can you also listen to my opinion?" Li Zijun saw Marcas's embarrassment and stood up with a smile.

"The Grand Duke is polite, if you have something to say, just speak out!" to the other people in the camp, Simpson can 'rely on the old and sell the old', but he has to restrain himself from treating Li Zijun.

"I mentioned to you earlier that Feng Qi has used at least four Saint-Rank masters this time, and Master Diarra and I have fought against them in the chaos army. Li Zijun looked at Diarra and smiled and motioned for him to prove it.

"That's true! At that time, they intended to break our antler formation, and thanks to the timely discovery of their plot by the Grand Duke, our infantry was saved from the onslaught of the Fengqi cavalry!" Diarra was now almost obedient to Li Zijun, and of course he would not let Li Zijun down, and immediately stood up.

Simpson didn't understand why Li Zijun suddenly mentioned the four Saint-level masters at this time, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Since Feng Qi has already used shameless assassination methods against Marshal Conrad without regard for face, they will not hesitate to replicate the same method here with you or His Highness Marcas!"

"It is true that the guards around you and His Highness Marcus are not weak, but who of you can guarantee that they will definitely be able to withstand the surprise attack of several Saint-rank masters in the chaotic army?"

"This" Simpson and Marcus looked at each other, and they couldn't help but frown.

They all knew that Li Zijun was by no means alarmist when he said this, and Feng Qi was indeed very likely to use such a method.

Neither Simpson nor Marcus were afraid of death, but they were both afraid of being killed in a muddle! Because it was not only about them, but also about the safety of the whole team, they couldn't help but hesitate.

"Therefore, none of you are the most suitable candidates!" Just when everyone thought that Li Zijun would ask to take on this task without giving up, he suddenly turned his gaze to Diarra, who had not had time to sit down.

"I think Lord Diarra is the most suitable candidate for His Royal Highness!" Li Zijun's words immediately caused a stunned person in the tent.

"Me?" Diarra asked as he looked at Li Zijun blankly.

"Yes, that's you! As far as I know, you also commanded your troops in battle in your early years, and you achieved good results. I don't think such a simple palace action should be a problem for you!" Li Zijun smiled and nodded to Diarra, confirming his question. (To be continued......)
