Du Long and Yang Bufan quickly came to the front of the King of Wei.
“Pay respects to the king!”
The two said in unison.
Du Long, relying on being an old general with a high status and great contributions, just cupped his fists to salute and didn’t even bend his waist.
While Yang Bufan knelt in front of the King of Wei.
The difference in status was immediately clear!
The King of Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly, and with a sullen face, he asked: “Grand Marshal, I ask you, why did you suddenly order the army to stop the attack?”
“I…” Just as Du Long opened his mouth, Yang Bufan preemptively said: “Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal said that he is worried that there is an ambush in the canyon, so he ordered the army to stop the attack.”
“Shut up!” The King of Wei scolded ed Yang Bufan: “I’m asking the Grand Marshal, not you.”
Yang Bufan lowered his head.
Du Long said: “Your Majesty, the canyon ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and the mountains on both sides are getting higher and higher. I’m worried that the Great Zhou will set up an ambush in the depths of the canyon.”
“Therefore, I ordered the army to stop temporarily and rest for a while.”
“At the same time, I also plan to send someone to investigate the situation inside the canyon. We will make plans after the situation is has ascertained.”
Yang Bufan asked: “Marshal, I would like to ask you, how long will it take to find out the situation?”
If we wait for you to find out the situation and the Great Zhou army runs away, what should we do?
Du Long said in a bad tone: “Yang Bufan, I am the Marshal of the Military. What right do you have to question me?”
“I have my own reasons for doing this.”
“You just need to obey the order.”
Du Long’s attitude was very overbearing.
Yang Bufan said: “Marshal, I dare not agree with you. I only know that I am the commander of the Great Wei, and I only listen to the order of the King.”
Du Long said: “When the general is outside, the king’s order may not be obeyed. I am the Marshal of the Military personally appointed by the King. On the battlefield, you must unconditionally obey me. If you dare to question my decision again, then I will use your head to sacrifice the flag.”
The eyes of the King of Wei narrowed slightly again, and he said softly to Yang Bufan: “Get up!”
Yang Bufan stood up and said: “Marshal, you are wrong. This time we are attacking the Great Zhou, and the King is personally leading the army. We all have to listen to the King’s words. There is no such thing as the at all general not having to obey the king’s order when he is outside.”
Having said this, Yang Bufan cupped his fists and bent over to the King of Wei and said: “Your Majesty, since the start of the war today, the Great Zhou has been retreating steadily. Preliminary estimates show that the Great Zhou has already lost more than 100,000 soldiers and generals.”
“Now, the morale of our Great Wei’s soldiers is like a rainbow, and we should annihilate the Great Zhou in one fell swoop.”
“With all due respect, I don’t accept the decision of the Grand Marshal, and neither do the soldiers.”
Du Long said forcefully: “I am the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses. On the battlefield, anyone must obey my orders. Those who violate the orders will be beheaded!”
Yang Bufan sneered and said: “Grand Marshal, I would like to ask you, at this critical moment, why do you want to stop the army from attacking?”
Are you worried about an ambush in the canyon, or are you afraid of failure and losing your reputation?
“Or, are you deliberately delaying the fighter and letting the Great Zhou soldiers escape?
“Or is it that you are actually in the Wei camp but your heart is in the Zhou?”
Du Long was furious when he heard this and pointed at Yang Bufan and shouted: “Yang Bufan, don’t talk nonsense here. I just don’t want the army to be ambushed and suffer heavy casualties.”
Yang Bufan immediately retorted: “Grand Marshal, I would like to ask, if we stop the attack now, and wait for the Great Zhou to get a chance to catch its breath and then counterattack, will we suffer heavy casualties at that time?”
“You——” Du Chong was at a loss for words.
Yang Bufan said to the King of Wei again: “Your Majesty, give the order to attack!”
Du Long said anxiously: “Your Majesty, we can’t attack!”
The King of Wei pondered for a moment and said: “Du Long, I order you to immediately lead the army to continue the attack, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!”
The army continues to attack and must annihilate all the soldiers of the Great Zhou without leaving a single one.
Du Long said, “Your Majesty, we really can’t attack now!”
”What, are you questioning this king’s decision?” The King of Wei raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, “Du Long, are you the Grand Marshal of the Military or the king of Great Wei?”
Du Long “plopped” down on his knees and said, “Your Majesty, if we attack at this time, there is a possibility of falling into the ambush of Great Zhou…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the King of Wei.
”You also said that it’s just possible, which means everything is just your guess. What if your guess is wrong?”
Du Long said, “Even if my guess is wrong, it won’t affect the overall situation.”
A hint of cold light flashed in the eyes of the King of Wei, and he said coldly, “You’re right. If you guess wrong, it really won’t affect the overall situation. However, you are delaying the fighter.
”There are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Great Zhou. If they all run away, even if I unify Zhongzhou, there will be endless troubles in the future.”
”Also, the emperor of Great Zhou has a high level of cultivation. If he runs away, even if this king becomes the master of Zhongzhou, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.”
”Du Long, no more words. Execute the order immediately.”
Du Long continued to say, “Your Majesty, please think twice! I have been on the battlefield since I was a teenager and have experienced thousands of battles. I am used to all kinds of tricks and intrigues of the enemy. The closer we are to victory, the more cautious we should be in marching. Otherwise, a single mistake can lead to a complete failure!”
When the King of Wei heard this, a spark appeared in his eyes, and he said angrily, “What do you mean, Du Long? Do you think this king doesn’t know how to fight?”
Du Long quickly said, “Your Majesty, I just want to remind you…”
”I don’t need your reminder. Let me ask you, will you execute the order or not?” said the Wei King dissatisfied.
Du Long said, “Your Majesty, we can’t attack anymore. We must be vigilant!”
The Wei King’s face looked very ugly, and he shouted, “Yang Bufan, come forward and listen to the decree.”
Plop!
Yang Bufan immediately knelt down.
The Wei King said, “I now appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Military, Youdaoplaceholder0 Du Long’s position. Lead the army to continue advancing and must annihilate the Great Zhou at the fastest speed.
”Your subordinate obeys the decree!” Yang Bufan said excitedly, “Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely be able to…”
”Your Majesty, absolutely not!” Du Chong said anxiously, “We can’t attack now, lest we fall into an ambush.”
”Also, Yang Bufan has no strategy and only knows how to talk on paper. Letting him command the army will definitely cause heavy casualties to the army.”
A hint of killing intent flashed in Yang Bufan’s eyes. Before he could speak, the Wei King had already spoken.
”Du Long, are you questioning my improper employment?”
”Let me tell you, don’t rely on your seniority in front of me. Without you, I can still flatten the Great Zhou and unify Zhongzhou.”
”Now the army is commanded by Yang Bufan. You can go home.”
Du Long suddenly burst into tears and said, “Your Majesty, why can’t you listen to my words? I am completely considering the soldiers!”
”All right, go home!” The Wei King waved his hand impatiently.
Yang Bufan also said, “Old General Du, you are not needed here anymore. Go back quickly!”
Du Long’s anger immediately flared up. Pointing at Yang Bufan, he shouted, “Yang Bufan, it’s you who bewitched the king. I’ll kill you…”
Boom!
Du Chong slapped Yang Bufan.
“Youdaoplaceholder0!” The Wei King slapped him with the back hand. directly sent Du Long flying and cursed, “This king has endured you again and again. Don’t challenge my bottom line.”
Du Long burst into tears. It was not known whether he was disheartened with the Wei King or out of anger. He shouted abuse, “Foolish king!”
”Courting death!” Just as the Wei King was about to take action, he heard a “bang”. Du Long slapped his own skull, and instantly his head exploded into a blood mist.
His body died and his dao vanished!
