Chapter 1766 Slaying Hu Fen with Tears
Hu Fen, who had no news, suddenly came back at this time, which really surprised Sima Lun. Logically speaking, Hu Fen abandoned the Jieting and fled without fighting, so he would definitely have no face to come back. Even if he returned to the camp, he would not be able to escape the military law.
To be honest, Simalun was still quite entangled. After all, Hu Fen has been following him for a long time and can be regarded as his confidant. Although Simalun still cannot figure out the motivation for Hu Fen to escape in the battle, Simalun still hopes that Hu Fen will take care of himself and avoid the military law when the main minister is in the fight.
But I think Hu Fen is also a smart person. Since he chose the way to escape, he will definitely not return to the camp. Now all military affairs are handled by Jiang Wei. Just looking at Jiang Wei's angry expression, it would be strange if he doesn't peel off Hu Fen's skin and bones.
But unexpectedly, Hu Fen actually came back at this time. Sima Lun couldn't figure it out, and he also began to worry about Hu Fen's fate.
At this time, Jiang Wei also received a report. He stopped to step on the road, with a hint of murderous aura in his cold eyes. He ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, bring Hu Fen up."
Hu Fen was soon taken to the central army tent, and saw a pale face, eyes were dull, and a look of depression on his face.
The most important reason why Hu Fen gave up Jieting was that he was considering that the enemy was strong and we were weak, Jieting could not be defended at all. Instead of breaking all the 7,000 troops in Jieting, it would be better to bring them back and meet the main force. This would at least retain some strength for Simalun so that he would not be destroyed like Zhoutai.
As for the fact that after he abandoned Jieting, Jieting would definitely fall into the hands of the Wei army, Hu Fen would certainly not be surprised. In order to avoid being caught by the Wei army, Hu Fen evacuated Jieting and stayed overnight all the way, and arrived at Jiming Mountain as fast as possible and met the main army.
Since Hu Fen did not walk the avenue, but chose a relatively close path, he was staggered with the messenger who sent the order, so he did not receive Jiang Wei's latest order.
In fact, even if I received it, it was too late. After all, when Hu Fen evacuated Jieting, the messenger had not arrived yet.
After rushing to Jiming Mountain and seeing the Shu army camp, Hu Fen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, what he was most worried about was to be pursued by the Wei cavalry. If the 7,000 people were cut off, how could he explain to Sima Lun? Now he was finally safe and safe along the way. Finally arrived at his destination, Hu Fen was relieved.
When he returned to the camp, Hu Fen happened to meet Zhong Hui. When Zhong Hui saw him, he was extremely surprised and asked him if he had received the military order from General Jiang Wei.
Hu Fen was confused and said he was unaware of it.
Zhong Hui sighed and said, "Brother Xuanwei, you have caused a big disaster!"
Hu Fen was stunned and asked why. Zhong Hui reported Jiang Wei's plan to withdraw troops and relocation and the content of the military orders given to him. He also told him that due to the loss of Jieting, the Wei army had captured Lueyang and would soon arrive in Ji County and Shangqi. The plan to withdraw troops and relocation in the entire Longxi failed, and Jiang Wei was on the verge of fire at this moment.
When Hu Fen heard this, he was as if a basin of cold water was poured on the spot. He was stunned. Hu Fen withdrew his troops from Jieting. He only considered how to preserve the remaining seven thousand defenders, but did not consider the overall strategic issue of Longxi. Due to his arbitrary resignation, the Wei cavalry drove straight into Jieting. The plan to withdraw troops from Longxi completely failed. The losses of the Shu army were not just these seven thousand people!
At this moment, Hu Fen's intestines were also regretful. Before evacuating Jieting, the deputy general suggested that he remain unmoved and send someone to report to Sima Lun and Jiang Wei before making a decision. However, Hu Fen decided to withdraw his troops due to the urgent military situation, which led to this uncontrollable result.
At that time, even if Hu Fen waited for a day, the sentencing soldiers would send him the latest military order. Hu Fen would definitely give up his retreat and instead guard Jieting. Even if he could not resist the Wei army for ten days, as long as he could block one more day, he would give Longxi a one-day extra time to win the retreat.
But now, it's too late to say anything. Even if Hu Fen wants to leave now, it's too late. His face was depressed and his expression was dull. He had made a big mistake and could only wait for the answer.
When Jiang Wei saw Hu Fen coming in, he put away his anger and asked calmly: "Hu Fen, are you guilty?"
Hu Fen lowered his head and said, "I will be aware of the crime."
Jiang Wei ignored him anymore. Hu Fen's words were enough. He turned to Sima Lun and said lightly: "Ziyi, Hu Fen is yours. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Jiang Wei stood up and left directly. The generals of the Shu army also left the tent. Among the central army, only Sima Lun and the generals of the Sima Army were left.
Sima Lun didn't expect Jiang Wei to kick him the ball. Hu Fen left his post without permission and fled in the last battle. The facts were all there, and Hu Fen had already confessed and disobeyed military orders. Jiang Wei only needed to follow the military law.
However, Jiang Wei considered that Hu Fen was Sima Lun's man, and the punishment was lighter and difficult to convince the public, and the punishment was severe, but he was afraid that Sima Lun would be dissatisfied, so he simply handed over the power to deal with Hu Fen to Sima Lun, and he would decide Hu Fen's life and death.
Sima Lun was a little worried now. Yu Qing must not be willing to watch Hu Fen and die, but Yu Fa forced Hu Fen to lose his head.
If Hu Fen did not cause bad consequences, perhaps Sima Lun would have been merciless and let him go, but it was Hu Fen's arbitrary resignation plan that led to the miscarriage of the Longxi relocation plan, and the Shu army suffered huge losses. If Sima Lun favored Hu Fen, where is the majesty of the military order? How will Sima Lun govern the army in the future?
Sima Lun was deeply entangled and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Seeing this, Hu Fen thumped and knelt in front of Sima Lun and said, "I know that my fault is unavoidable. I would rather die to atone for my sins. I will be able to bring the seven thousand-year-old son back to the ninth prince. I will have no regrets in my death. My younger brother Xuanwu is straightforward and reckless. I hope the ninth prince will treat him well."
Hu Lie also knelt down at this moment, burst into tears, begging Sima Lun to forgive Hu Fen.
Sima Lun sighed and said, "Xuanwei, I will not forgive you today. I am really relying on others and I cannot help myself. If you and my ministers are in the end, the time will be lucky. Come and drink!"
The soldiers under his command immediately took a jar of wine. Sima Lun poured a bowl himself, brought it to Hu Fen, and said, "Xuanwei, drink this bowl, it's not too late to get on the road."
Hu Fen took the wine bowl, raised his neck, drank it all, and laughed and said, "Good wine! Ninth Young Master, I will see you again in the next life!" After that, he turned around without looking back.
Tears appeared in the corner of Sima Lun's eyes, and he grabbed the arrow with a trembling hand, threw it on the ground, and choked and spit out a word: "Cut——"
