Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

Why the sudden retreat?

Could something have happened?

Thinking about how Yao Chu specifically asked Zhou Jingxuan to meet him, could it be that he had fallen into some trick and got hurt?

Thinking of this, Jiang Si was shocked and hurried to the tent to find Zhou Jingxuan.

She hurried over and was relieved to see Zhou Jingxuan sitting there unharmed.

Seeing Jiang Si coming, Zhou Jingxuan's confusion flashed across his eyes, and he smiled at Jiang Si and said, "How did Ah Si know that I wanted to see you?"

Jiang Si's eyes curved: "Of course we are in sync."

Zhou Jingxuan stepped forward and took Jiang Si's hand, and Jiang Si slowly asked, "What happened today?"

"Why did you retreat so suddenly?"

Zhou Jingxuan's eyes darkened, he didn't know if what he did today was right.

It has not been easy along the way, and so many people have sacrificed their lives.

Is it really right for him to retreat for the Wurong people now?

Are we worthy of those brothers who died on the battlefield?

Zhou Jingxuan told Jiang Si what happened during the day.

As for Jiang Si, he always treated her as equal to himself.

He also longed to get a correct answer from Jiang Si.

Unlike other people, when his wife asked, he immediately scolded her: "What do you know as a woman?"

In this feudal era, Zhou Jingxuan gave Jiang Si enough respect.

After listening to Zhou Jingxuan's words, Jiang Si knew that he was in doubt.

Zhou Jingxuan even wondered if this battle should not have happened at all.

It was clearly a war between two countries, but the people in Wurong were completely involved in it.

He even had a feeling that if it weren't for him, such a thing would not have happened.

Jiang Si thought for a moment and said softly, "You did the right thing."

"It was that Yao Chu who was despicable."

"He's taking advantage of your kindness and integrity."

"No matter what Wu Rong did, no matter how despicable the people in Wu Rong were, it has nothing to do with the people."

"They are innocent. They are no different from the people of Da Zhou."

"You did very well."

A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Si's face: "I am honored that you are my husband."

These words immediately cleared up Zhou Jingxuan's previous gloom.

He reached out and gently hugged Jiang Si: "It is my fortune to have such a wife."

Zhou Jingxuan did not make any rash moves in the next two days.

Because he knew that as long as he made any move, Yao Chu would take action against the people.

And because nothing was done in the past two days, some soldiers in the camp began to feel dissatisfied.

They sacrificed so much to reach this final Sheep Head Pass.

But the prince was waiting here out of consideration for the Wurong people.

Those Wurong people are human beings, but they are not?

This kind of atmosphere spread in the military camp, and Lieutenant General Zuo punished several people for it.

But the more this happened, the more dissatisfied they became.

But she didn't dare to dance in front of Zhou Jingxuan.

But morale was much lower.

Zhou Jingxuan also noticed it.

He thought about it for a long time and decided to gather everyone together to share his thoughts.

If this continues for long, the army's morale will collapse.

This is the most taboo thing when marching and fighting.

The next day, Deputy General Zuo gathered everyone together, and many of them were feeling nervous.

I just think Zhou Jingxuan knew that they were discussing it in private, so he wanted to punish them.

When Zhou Jingxuan arrived, several people were a little scared.

If they were the soldiers under Zhou Jingxuan in the past, they would naturally understand him and his military discipline was also very good.

But this time, many people had never followed Zhou Jingxuan.

Although he has the reputation of being a god of war, no one has really seen it in action and is not truly convinced.

Even though the battle was extremely easy along the way, many of them felt that Wu Rong was vulnerable.

They felt that the prince was powerful, but not worthy of such an exaggerated title as the God of War.

And this time, there was even more dissatisfaction.

They even felt that Zhou Jingxuan did this for his own fame and to gain a good reputation.

But they all fought very hard.

The more I think about it, the more dissatisfied I feel.

Zhou Jingxuan was tall and stood at the front. The whispering disappeared instantly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood together in a black mass, with no end in sight.

Zhou Jingxuan's voice, mixed with his inner strength, fell clearly into everyone's ears.

"I already know about everyone's dissatisfaction in the past few days."

"I called you all here today to discuss this matter."

The spies in Yangshou Pass also reported to Yao Chu that the Zhou army's morale had been shaken in recent days.

Military Advisor Yan was very proud: "Look, General, this is really a good strategy that kills three birds with one stone."

"The most taboo thing in marching and fighting is unstable morale."

"Now Zhou Jingxuan has violated a taboo."

"By then, it will be impossible for them to capture Yangshou Pass."

Yao Chu also saw a glimmer of hope from this. He also hoped that the morale of the Great Zhou army would collapse and they would eventually return home.

In this way, he saved Yangshou Pass and Wurong State.

Then there would be a reasonable explanation for what he did.

But the result was destined to disappoint him.

After Zhou Jingxuan finished speaking, the surroundings became quiet and no one dared to speak.

Even if someone was dissatisfied, they would not dare to say anything at this moment.

Zhou Jingxuan continued, "That day I asked Deputy General Zuo a question."

“I asked him why he joined the army.”

"He was from a poor family."

“I believe this is the reason for many people.”

"But he also said that it was because he saw the people being bullied by those evil people after the city was captured."

"He said he wanted to protect the people."

“That was his wish later on.”

Zhou Jingxuan paused and said, "You may think that the people of Wurong are not the people of our Great Zhou. If they die, they die. There is nothing to regret."

"They were killed by their own people in Wurong."

Zhou Jingxuan's voice deepened: "We join the army not only to defend our country, but also to protect the defenseless civilians for our own selfish reasons."

“Although the people of Wurong are not Chinese, they are just ordinary people.”

“Life is already difficult, but why do people still want to live?”

"Because there is hope while we are alive."

"The elderly, the weak, the women and the children of a city are the lives of a city."

"We have fought so many battles, and we are just indifferent to seeing these ordinary people being slaughtered?"

"If Wu Rong doesn't give them a place to stay, should they be abandoned?"

"We are soldiers, and our enemies are only the armed Wurong people."

“Not the people.”

"Now we only retreat thirty miles, and those people can survive. What's not worth it?"

After Zhou Jingxuan finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

"You have all been to the battlefield and seen a lot of blood. Now there is a chance to keep them alive."

"What if we retreat thirty miles?"

"Retreating these thirty miles doesn't mean we've given up on Yangshou Pass!"
