Translator: Rain Editor: Chrissy
”Under that situation, even though we won that fight and we were overwhelming, if you want Commander Ye to continue the invasion and expand the territory, to conquer the Sky Nerve City forcibly… then you are asking a hell more than you should. That is pushing our hero to death frankly!
”The Princess of Lan-Feng, Wenren Chuchu, wasn’t being honest when she tried to threaten our men, but it doesn’t mean what she said was unreasonable. The Kingdom of Lan-Feng didn’t dare to go on fighting. That’s for sure. But if they had to go on fighting, it is a different story.”
Zuo Wuji continued, ”What happened is that Commander Ye has led the army deep into the enemy’s territory after he won the battle in Iron Peak. Seven full days, he didn’t stop or rest. When he retreated, he retreated with an excuse so as to shock the enemy! To put it in a simpler way, Commander Ye’s army had no strength to go on another fight anymore!
”If they fought forcibly, we might lose it again! Just think about it, you bastards. Why would he give up if he had confidence to defeat the enemy one more time after a long way of chasing?
”He has the guts to fight against one million men with only one hundred and eighty thousand soldiers. Would he give up the chance to take more lands and build more credits for himself? Isn’t it an obvious truth in front of us?
”If Commander Ye gives up the opportunity to contribute more, then he should have a reason to give up. His army was in a terrible situation! It looked strong, but in fact, it was weak!
”We should thank Wenren Chuchu. What she said gave our men a reason to retreat! That put a wonderful end to our great victory in this war!”
Zuo Wuji gave an impassioned speech to indicate the undeniable truth. Some officials even nodded to agree. Even the king admired it.
The king had fought in wars, so he knew Zuo Wuji was telling the truth.
”Long story short, what was between that princess and Commander Ye is just an excuse to retreat.” Zuo Wuji sneered. ”I strongly give some of you kind advices, that you should better stop sticking on this topic now. Our king is a wise man. You are only going to get yourselves humiliated!”
One of the senior officials humphed and said, ”Lord Zuo, your opinion is unreasonably generalized. If Commander Ye’s army was unable to fight anyone, why would he not report it? The report from the battle only flaunts about his great contribution. Isn’t that deceit?”
”Commander Ye didn’t dare to report.” Zuo Wuji humphed coldly. He looked at that senior official with sharp eyes. ”No matter how good he is, he is only a human being. He is not a god. He can’t be invincible. Since the day he became the commander of his army, he kept fighting a hopeless fight with limited men. The only supply he had was what he took when the army left the city. When the king urged you guys to give him more supply, some of you stopped it! Let me ask you something. Who committed deceit now?
”So many men here want Commander Ye to die, even though we all know he has been fighting for the kingdom! You want him to show his back to people like you? How could he? How could he tell the truth that his army was exhausted to guys like you? How could he know whether there are rats from the Kingdom of Lan-Feng among you?
