Zu Dashou was talking about an important place. When he heard the commotion outside, he couldn't help but get very angry. He shouted and asked, "What's the fuss about?"

A personal guard quickly entered the lobby, with a slightly panicked face, and loudly reported: "Commander, we are reporting from the top of the city. They are from the imperial court..."

Upon hearing that the imperial court had sent someone over so quickly, Zu Dashou's face suddenly lit up with joy. This meant that the imperial court was in need of Guan Ningjun! He ordered without hesitation: "No matter, let him wait for a while before talking!"

"Isn't this... bad?" Upon hearing this, He Kegang immediately stood up and said with a frown.

The other generals had different expressions, but they didn't say anything. They looked at the two most important people in Guan Ning's army, waiting for them to make a decision.

After hearing this, Zu Dashou frowned slightly, then looked at He Kegang and said immediately: "You listen to me, you must be steady at this time, let him cool off, let them worry, so that when we meet again, I will wait for you It’s easy to listen to your appeals!”

Upon hearing this, most of the generals nodded and encouraged He Kegang to come.

"Master He, just listen to the commander-in-chief on this matter, you will never be wrong!"

"Yes, what the Commander-in-Chief said makes sense, listen to the Commander-in-Chief! Those bastards in the imperial court should show off!"

"..."

Seeing that they all disagreed with him, He Kegang began to doubt whether his persistence was right!

By this time, the lobby was a little quieter. The guard kept blushing and tried to speak several times without a chance. At this moment, he seized the opportunity and quickly reported: "Commander, the person coming from the court is Mr. Sun Ge, and he has entered the city!"

As soon as he said these words, Zu Dashou immediately stood up from his seat and confirmed: "What did you say, Mr. Sun Ge? Which Mr. Sun Ge?"

In fact, they all knew who else could be there besides Sun Chengzong!

Therefore, without waiting for the guard to reply, Zu Dashou said to the generals: "Look, the emperor must be anxious, and specially sent Mr. Sun Ge here. You must listen to me and be steady, understand? The court will not If you agree to our request and forgive our sins, don’t let go, do you understand?”

Before the generals could reply, they heard a loud old voice coming from outside: "What do you understand?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zu Dashou and others knew that Sun Ge was old. They were a little surprised that Mr. Sun Ge came so quickly, and hurriedly wanted to greet him out, but at this time, Sun Chengzong had already strode in.

Zu Dashou took the lead and knelt down on one knee with fists clasped and said: "Greetings to Mr. Ge!"

Sun Chengzong was sweating faintly, glanced at them, without saying a word, strode to the main seat in the hall, and then shouted sharply: "Look what good things you have done, who gave you such courage? Dare you escape privately back to Shanhaiguan?"

If other envoys came over, they might not have the guts to scold the senior generals of Guan Ning Army in this way. But Sun Chengzong had no such scruples, just like an elder lecturing a younger one.

These generals are very honest and no one dares to contradict them. When Zu Dashou turned around, he secretly winked at the others, and at the same time squeezed out a smile and said: "Mr. Ge, why are you here?"

Sun Chengzong turned a blind eye to his playful smile. He was still very serious. He seemed to be a little bit angry and said: "If I don't come, I'm afraid you will do something irreparable and stupid!"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was not as tolerant as before, Zu Dashou felt a little unsure, and quickly said: "How can it be possible? My ancestor Dashou has a heart of loyalty to the emperor and the country. Don't you know that?"

"You still have the nerve to say that you are loyal to the emperor and the country. Is there anyone as loyal to the emperor as you?" Sun Chengzong retorted with a stern face. Seeing that Zu Dashou seemed to want to defend, he interrupted with a stronger tone, "Regardless of any reason, I escaped from the capital and came back." Shanhaiguan is a serious crime, don’t you understand?”

The other generals listened to the conversation between the two of them, and the thoughts that they had originally told themselves to stabilize began to waver. But now that the commander is blocking them, they can still hold on.

Compared to them, Zu Dashou's confidence was still sufficient. The reason why we evacuated from the capital in the first place was because of hints from the big bosses in the capital. Now that Mr. Sun Ge has arrived so quickly, it shows that the capital needs his Guan Ning Army very much. With this support, there is nothing to fear!

When he was about to say something, he saw Sun Chengzong take out a decree from his sleeve and said: "There is an edict!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he was overjoyed. It was not in the form of a formal imperial edict. It seemed that the emperor was still afraid that things would be difficult to deal with if things came to a standstill, and he was a little afraid of Guan Ningjun. This edict must have good words to comfort myself, allowing me to lead the army to Qinwang again.

With this thought in mind, he and the other generals knelt down to listen again.

Sun Chengzong glanced at them and began to read.

These generals, including Zu Dashou, were fine if they didn't listen. But when they heard it, they were suddenly surprised and sweat broke out on their backs.

None of them expected that the emperor would severely reprimand them, and then based on their past merits, Yunzu would return to the command of Sun Chengzong on his birthday, giving them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. But if you don't capture the city and restore the land in this war, you will have to be punished for several crimes.

In this edict, the emperor did not have any scruples about Guan Ningjun, nor did he show any intention of asking Guan Ningjun to return to protect the king. These were all beyond their expectations.

After Sun Chengzong finished reciting, he stared at Zu Dashou and asked, "Do you know the crime?"

The old leader is here, even if he wants to be careful, it is impossible. Zu Dashou didn't really want to do anything, so he quickly bowed his head and confessed. When the other generals saw it, they naturally also confessed.

Sun Chengzong was relieved when he saw it, and immediately asked Zu Dashou and others to write a memorial to explain the whole story and apologize.

Zu Dashou knew that Sun Chengzong was doing it for their own good, so he naturally obeyed everything. After these things were completed, Zu Dashou asked curiously: "If Guan Ning's army doesn't return to the capital, what will the emperor do?"

"What are you thinking about the emperor now?" Sun Chengzong was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He didn't want to talk nonsense to him anymore, so he took out another decree and showed it to him.

I remember that this decree included Hu Guang's plan to strengthen the walls and clear the country and show the enemy's weakness to allow the Jianlu to attack the capital. Zu Dashou's eyes widened when he saw it, as if he couldn't believe the words he saw.

After a long time, he forwarded his decree to He Kegang beside him, and asked Sun Chengzong in disbelief: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is your Majesty really so courageous? Could it be that someone told you to do it on impulse?"

"Who said that?" Sun Chengzong asked with a bit of hatred, "This is a strategy set by the emperor himself!"

"Ah..." Zu Dashou was speechless for a moment. Such an emperor was completely different from what he remembered, as if he was a completely different person! If he had recognized this kind of emperor from the beginning, no matter how thoughtful he was, he would have done such things no matter how much he was encouraged by others!
