A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 246
"General Sun means that you need to take on this responsibility in the future, right?" Lu Meng's tone suddenly became a little strange, obviously it was Sun Yu's words that angered him!
After noticing Lu Meng's anomaly, Sun Yu quickly explained: "General Lu, don't misunderstand, this general also thinks that this matter is of great importance. If it affects other generals because of this, it is really inappropriate, so This general has no choice but to make a bad move!"

"The general understands what General Sun said. If that's the case, then follow General Sun's suggestion! Although the general cannot guarantee that the method of the general can defend the Jin capital, at least the general will stand at the last moment of his life. !
Even if in the end, he will die on the battlefield, that will not insult the lord's respect at all! "

What Lu Meng said was impassioned. In fact, when Sun Yu made this suggestion, he directly lost all confidence in this general!

Moreover, he is still ashamed that Sun Quan can have such a brother!
It's just that these thoughts of his can only stay in his own heart, after all, Sun Yu is currently the main general in Jindu City.

Although he was the general who came to help, he still had to obey Sun Yu's orders.

Therefore, this also means that if he offended Sun Yu verbally, then Sun Yu also has the power to deal with him!

Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Lu Meng could only choose to swallow his anger and obey Sun Yu's orders.

Anyway, from his point of view, the current matter has two outcomes, one is to die in the line of duty, and the other is to make everyone happy!
Therefore, such things as punishment and crime, Lu Meng will never touch them!

And just after the two had reached an agreement on this matter, the three of them climbed onto the city wall together, giving the most effective encouragement to the soldiers who were desperately defending on the city wall.

At noon, when Ma Chao and Guan Suo were exhausted, they had no choice but to temporarily give up the attack on the capital of Jin!

However, up to this time, they had been fighting for nearly fifteen hours.

During these fifteen hours, the two of them couldn't remember how many charges they had made. Anyway, they only knew that every charge would be repelled by the defenders in the city.

And most of the soldiers under their command died on the way to charge!
As a result, after these twelve hours of fighting, the original fifty thousand soldiers under their command were now less than one-third.

But outside the capital of Jin, there were already corpses strewn all over the field, blood flowing like rivers.

But even so, they still failed to capture Jindu City!
"General Meng Qi, I really don't know how to go back and explain to the lord that this was originally just a city that was within easy reach, but why did it suddenly become like this!"

On the way back to the camp, Guan Suo frowned tightly, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and complained with a sigh.

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "This incident is indeed a bit strange! However, if you think about it carefully, it is not that there are no traces to be found!"

"What trace?" Guan Suo asked.

"As for the trace, I can't tell! In short, I just think that this incident must not be an inexplicable change. Maybe something happened in this city, or there is something special about this city. place!" Ma Chao analyzed.

"What's so special about this city? Apart from having a second-generation ancestor inside, there shouldn't be anything special about it, right?" Guan Suo frowned and thought.

"I don't know. Anyway, I just think this matter is a bit weird! Forget it, let's go back first! At that time, we can ask Zhou Yu, maybe he can know the reason!"

Ma Chao thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.So, he simply didn't think about it any more, anyway, the thing had already happened, no matter how much he thought about it, there was no way to save it all!Therefore, he simply became calm!

"Okay! I hope my lord will not punish us!"

In fact, what Guan Suo and Ma Chao were considering at this time was not the same thing at all.

What Ma Chao thought was why he failed to capture this city, and at this moment he really wanted to find the reason!
But Guan Suo was always worried that Du Huo would blame him.After all, Du Huo is both his lord and his uncle, so due to this reason, he is more afraid of Du Huo than Ma Chao.

The two led the army to march for half an hour, and brought the remnant army back to the camp.

Afterwards, the two of them received Du Huo's invitation.

After a while, inside Du Huo's tent.

"I heard that you didn't capture the capital city of Jin successfully. Can you two tell me the reason? That's fine with me, and let Zhou Yu go on to the next part of the plan!"

Du Huo's attitude was relatively stable, he didn't blame the two, nor did he show any dissatisfaction.

In fact, for Du Huo, the defeat in the war has always been a relatively accidental event, but this does not mean that it will never happen.

So when this incident happened, the first thing he thought of was this incident, which link went wrong!
Afterwards, he wanted to ask the two of them the reason for this!
"Returning to my lord, this matter is entirely due to the ineffectiveness of the two of us! Otherwise, it wouldn't be..."

"You don't need to put all the responsibility on yourself, I know much better than you whether you are working for welfare or not!
Now what I want to ask is what caused this incident, so you just need to tell me where there is a problem. Ineffective work is not the answer I want! "

Du Huo directly interrupted Ma Chao's explanation, and then introduced himself to his question again.

"Back to my lord! Although I don't know the reason for this! But I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter, and General Meng Qi once said that there seems to be something weird about this city!
Because, when we captured the first battle, everything went very smoothly, and even our capture time was slightly shorter than planned!
Unexpectedly, just when we were about to launch an offensive against Jin Capital City!The defenders in Jindu City were the first to launch a counterattack against us! "

"They rushed out of the city?" Du Huo interrupted Guan Suo's words, waiting for the opportunity to ask.

Ma Chao added: "My lord, they didn't go out of the city, they just attacked us with bows and arrows! And their bow and arrow reserves seem to be slightly more than ordinary cities!
And it was precisely because of the bow and arrow that our army was unable to launch an effective offensive against them! "

"The difference in city defense reserve exists under normal circumstances. If it is because of this reason, it can only show that your troops are too small to capture the city!" Du Huo said rather Said understandingly.

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding! However, although this is also the reason, if it is because of this reason, then this crime may have to be committed, and General Zhou Yu will bear it!

After all, all the current plans and the number of troops are determined by General Zhou Yu!
If it was because of the number of soldiers that the city could not be successfully captured, then the responsibility for this crime would probably fall on General Zhou Yu's head! "

Ma Chao's words not only meant to remind Du Huo, but also deliberately interceded for Zhou Yu.

At this moment, Ma Chao was like the wavering straw, and even he himself didn't know which direction to fall.

"I really should ask Zhou Yu about this matter. Logically speaking, Zhou Yu should not be able to make mistakes, but there is no way to explain this matter right now, so..."

"My lord does not need to be invited, the general will come without invitation!"

Unexpectedly, when Du Huo was hesitating, Zhou Yu, who was mentioned in the mouth of the crowd, happened to pick up the curtain at this moment.

"Gongjin, I was just talking about you, and you're here!"

When he saw Zhou Yu, what subconsciously popped up in Du Huo's mind was a proverb saying "Cao Cao, Cao Cao!"

But he thought about it again, Cao Cao had already died at this time, and if Zhou Yu was compared to Cao Cao, it seemed that Zhou Yu would be dissatisfied!

So, in the end, he swallowed the words that came to his lips again!

"My lord, don't be surprised. In fact, when the general learned that the two generals Ma Chao and Guan Suo had returned after being defeated, the general had already realized that it was because of the general!
Therefore, the last general came here to meet the lord and apologize to the lord!It's just that I never thought that the two generals are also here! "Zhou Yu explained.

"Oh...the two of them were called by me, in fact, I also want to know the reason for this matter!
After all, since we entered the territory of Soochow, this is the first time we have encountered defeat!
Although one failure is not enough to explain anything, if you can find some lessons from failure, that would be a good thing! "

In front of Zhou Yu, Du Huo's words were equivalent to completely exempting Zhou Yu from responsibility.

Therefore, after hearing these words, Zhou Yu's stiff expression eased a little.

"Thank you, my lord, for your understanding! In fact, this incident was indeed caused by the negligence of the last general!

Originally, in the eyes of the general, the city of Jindu City was not enough to be valued by Sun Quan!Because at the beginning, when the last general was still in Soochow, the capital city of Jin was just a small, unknown city!

But who would have thought that in such a short period of time, that little-known town in the past would suddenly turn into an important town!In the end, it was precisely because of this negligence that the last general suffered such a big defeat for no reason!

Speaking of it, but it is true that the last general is sorry for the two of you! "
