In the early morning, Jinzhou City was not as quiet as before, but fell into great chaos. In the early morning, a large number of scattered soldiers fled back to Jinzhou City, which suddenly panicked those who were already worried. Tens of thousands of troops were completely lost, and dozens of generals were missing. Even the rumor of Zhang Chun, the leader of the army, was captured by Jiannu. Once the news spread, even Sun Chengzong could not stop it.

"I am ashamed of the emperor's trust, and it is a serious sin to cause such evil consequences." In the government office, Sun Chengzong, Qiu Hejia and other civil servants and generals gathered together. Wu Xiang and others still had a hint of panic on their faces, and they had not yet woken up from yesterday's battle. However, Sun Chengzong was blind. Qiu Hejia also became frightened.

Sun Chengzong did not expect that tens of thousands of troops would be wiped out in an instant, and only nearly 10,000 people could escape back, and three-quarters of the troops were suddenly gone. Even Zhang Chun was captured alive by the other party, and dozens of generals disappeared without a trace. One person must take responsibility for such a thing, and this person was not someone else, but himself. Once such a big event spread, those people in the court would definitely attack him.

"Mr. Supervisor, no wonder the old master. It's just that Li Xin betrayed his faith and made peace with Jiannu, which led to the scarcity of our army's troops. He could not defeat Jiannu." In the lobby, Wu Xiang's eyes turned when he heard this, stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, if Li Xin hadn't left suddenly, how could Jiannu be so brave to fight our army? If our army could recruit more than 10,000 troops from Li Xin, Jiannu would have fled in a panic." Zu Zerun also said loudly.

"If you are not good at fighting, don't put the responsibility on others." Qiu Hejia, who was on the other side, suddenly showed a sarcastic look on his face when he heard this. He looked at Wu Xiang coldly and said, "General Wu, I heard from the defeated soldiers that at the critical moment, someone raised the flag and fled first. What should be the crime of such escape in the face of the court?"

"This?" Wu Xiang's face turned red and he didn't dare to look at Qiu Hejia. He could only lower his head and his face was covered with cold sweat. He knew that he could not hide the matter of escaping at the last minute. It was undoubtedly impossible for him to hide such news. But he hated Qiu Hejia even more.

"Li Xin should bear the main responsibility in this battle. Master Supervisor. When His Majesty's imperial edict was sent, Li Xin should have been allocated to the generals of the last generals and obeyed the orders of the generals, but Li Xin led the army to leave. If he said that he would escape in the battle, Li Xin was the mastermind. The one who should be killed should be Li Xin." Zu Dashou naturally would not look at Wu Xiang's unlucky, so he stood up and said, "Mr. Qiu, you won't forget this because Li Xin is your nephew!"

"Hmph, I will naturally not forget it." Qiu Hejia's old face turned red, and he looked at Zu Dashou with an angry look, and sneered: "I don't know what qualifications your Zu Dashou have to command Li Xin's army. Could it be that this Li Xin army was formed by you, or your military achievements and your martial arts are far above Li Xin's army, which can convince Li Xin's army. Humph, if I remember correctly, there are thousands of strong people in Li Xin's army that were obtained from Dalinghe City. Humph, these people may remember your Zu Junmen's life! Do you think they will let you command?"

"Qiu Hejia, you?" Zu Dashou probably never wanted to remember the scene in Dalinghe City in his life. At this moment, Qiu Hejia was scarred again, which made him want to rush up and cut Qiu Hejia into two pieces.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Li Xin, you would either starve to death in Dalinghe City or surrender to Jiannu. Such a person would be above the court, which is really a joke." Qiu Hejia looked disdainful. I have to say that in the Ming Dynasty, the arrogance of literati was amazing. Zu Dashou was also a first-rank official, but in front of Qiu Hejia, he still had to ridicule him and scold him. Qiu Hejia ignored the other party's feelings at all.

"Friends belong to favors, and the imperial edict of the court is greater than that of heaven. Since the emperor values ​​my father and commands him to command Li Xin's army, then Li Xin's army must listen to his father. If the father and commander have more than 10,000 troops from Li Xin, this battle will definitely win. How could such a thing happen? Therefore, the last general thought that Li Xin was the culprit in the failure of this battle. The last general thought that because of the emperor, he ordered people to arrest Li Xin and brought him to justice." Zu Zerun said proudly in the hall.

"This is OK," Wu Xiang nodded and said, "The enemy is large and we are few. If Li Xin had not withdrawn without authorization, this war would have been victorious. Perhaps at this time, our army had already arrived at the city of Shenyang."

"Yes, yes, it's all Li Xin's sin."

The other generals nodded after hearing this. This is what these people want. After the war failed, they always have to find some reasons and always find someone to blame the crime. Li Xin happened to be their excuse, and he was the best person to blame the crime.

Sun Chengzong above looked coldly at the generals in the hall, his eyes full of disappointment. The veteran was extremely sad. This was the Liaodong general who had given great expectations to the court. After the failure, he did not look for the reasons from himself, but instead pushed the reasons to others. Is it really possible for the court to rely on such people to guard the territory?

"Zu Dashou, on the night before Li Xin left, you invited Li Xin to Dalinghe City. You held a banquet in Dalinghe City to entertain Li Xin. Is there anything wrong?" Sun Chengzong's voice was extremely indifferent, and the indifferent voice instantly spread throughout the hall, and the hall was silent. The generals who were still talking just now kept silent, as if they did not exist. There was no secret in the huge military camp. Even Jiannu knew about Zu Dashou's establishment of the Hongmen Banquet, let alone Sun Chengzong.

"This?" Zu Dashou was stunned. He knew that it was time for Qiuhou to settle the score. If there were tens of thousands of Guanning Iron Cavalry around him, there would be nothing. Unfortunately, there were only thousands of cavalry around him, and there would be no deterrent power at all.

"My elder, the father-in-chief also learned that Li Xin had an affair with Jiannu, so he thought about killing Li Xin with the easiest way. Unfortunately, Li Xin's thief was very cunning and discovered by him. Alas, if Li Xin could have killed Li Xin, this battle might have been another situation." Zu Zerun's face was full of sadness and disappointment.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but soon their faces were filled with admiration. Looking at Zu Zerun, they had never seen such shameless people who could say black to white and dead to fire. This is the person in the officialdom.

"You." Qiu Hejia's old face turned red with anger. He pointed at Zu Zerun and couldn't speak. The original conspiracy turned so noble in Zu Zerun's mouth.

"Enough." Sun Chengzong heard the chattering and noise beside him, and his old face was angry, his eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Wu Xiang's face, and sneered: "I know the right and wrong in my heart, and you know in your heart. Now that the army is defeated, all the responsibilities are pushed to Li Xin's head, it's ridiculous. The reason for this battle is that Wu Xiang, you escape at the battle and destroy our morale. According to military law, you should be beheaded on the spot. However, now you are not on the battlefield. You are the general, and you cannot behead you for the time being. Don't be the general for the time being, stay at home and wait for the court to deal with it!"

"Sir, you." Wu Xiang was about to speak, but he saw that Sun Chengzong's face was gloomy and was looking at him coldly. He didn't dare to speak at the moment, so he quickly lowered his head and retreated. Sun Chengzong was the supervisor. Although there was the Sword of the Emperor, Yuan Chonghuan was the lesson of the past. Naturally, he would not kill Wu Xiang because of Wu Xiang. Although it was nothing to kill Wu Xiang according to military rules, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong and aroused Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, not to mention that Sun Chengzong was still defeated at this time. Once Wu Xiang was killed, the hostile forces in the court would definitely attack him, making it worse.

"In this battle, I will personally apologize to the emperor. As for the final result, it has nothing to do with you. At most, I will just go to Caishikou for a walk." Sun Chengzong sighed: "But you, our army has greatly lost its strength. Although Jinzhou City is extremely strong and there are many red-clothed cannons, it cannot resist the attack of Jiannu. Therefore, in recent times, you must strengthen the defense of Jinzhou City and pay attention to Jiannu's every move. Alas, if Jinzhou City is lost again, we are all sinners of the court."

"Supervisor." After hearing Sun Chengzong's words, the generals felt a sense of desolation. To be honest, since Sun Chengzong became the governor of Ji Liao, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army has increased greatly, and the weapons and food are also sufficient. On the one hand, Sun Chengzong is aware of the army, while on the other hand, Sun Chengzong's reputation is enough to prevent those in the court from daring to attack the Guanning Army. However, after this battle, it is unknown whether Sun Chengzong can save his life, but it is absolutely impossible to serve as the governor of Ji Liao. If the Guanning Army changes to a supervisor, will there be such a good result? Even Zu Dashou is unsure.

"Sir, you have a wide range of friends and are still an imperial teacher. Is there no way to solve this problem?" Qiu Hejia also persuaded: "This matter is not a crime of war. If the wind direction is not reversed, we will have won this battle." Qiu Hejia also did not want Sun Chengzong to leave Liaodong. He knew that Sun Chengzong had made many contributions and had a great reputation. The court's handling of Sun Chengzong was definitely not like Yuan Chonghuan. But no matter what, Sun Chengzong, the position of Ji Liao governor, could not be saved, and the best result was to go home to retire.

"If you win, you will win, and if you lose, you will lose. There is no crime that is not a war." said Qiu Hejia, the Sun Chengzong taught a lesson.

Qiu Hejia was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned pale. What is the crime of non-war and what is the sudden reversal of the wind? Isn’t this saying that this battle is destined by God? If it spreads out, does Qiu Hejia still have his life?
