Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 358 One step is wrong, every step is wrong

Faced with Song Yuan's accusations in public, General Wei's face suddenly darkened.

He had finally managed to calm down, but now the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

"When did I say you can't change it?"

General Wei's voice suddenly rose, and he shouted at Song Yuan, "Your Highness, don't you understand me? I just said that this matter requires strategy. After all, some things cannot be blindly handled. Those barbarians may set traps. If we fall into their trap, who will bear the consequences?"

"I'll take responsibility for it, okay?"

Song Yuan also showed no sign of weakness: "I have already told you that today is the final deadline. According to what the Barbarian Princess said before, once today is over, the Barbarians will not tolerate it and will regret their previous plans at any time. The exchange of the three border cities will be completely ruined."

"Do you really have to see this scene before you'll be willing? Then let me tell you, if it really comes to this, everyone, including you and me, will become a sinner of Wei Daqin!"

"Every one of us here will be recorded in history books and be infamous forever!"

With each word Song Yuan spoke, his voice gradually rose.

In the end, it completely turned into a roar of power!

With such efforts, these words naturally reached everyone's ears clearly.

Everyone nodded at once!

Now is a good time to recover lost ground. A great opportunity is right in front of us. How can we give it up because of caution?

Maybe the barbarians will play some tricks.

But we have come this far, and for the sake of the final harvest, we must try even if there will be some losses!

If you give up the best opportunity right now because of cowardice, you will probably regret it for the rest of your life, even if it means death!

Years later, people will still mention it and curse it. Even in the afterlife, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace!

"Your Highness's words are quite nice and awe-inspiring!" General Wei's face darkened and he commented directly.

"But have you ever thought about this? If the barbarians really resort to some tricks at this critical moment, how much loss will we suffer?"

"I'm the commander-in-chief of the frontier. I can't guarantee other things, but I must ensure that my soldiers are alive. Even if I have to die, I must die in front of them!"

"Do you think I don't want to recover lost territory? And I believe that most people here would definitely think the same way. Why do you need to emphasize it?"

"it is good!"

Wei Da, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly roared and clapped his hands. When the applause gradually stopped, he glared at General Wei Da fiercely.

"Since you want to recover the lost territory, then stop talking nonsense here. If you are afraid of death, then go back to your Zhenbei City. You can wait for good news there. When the time comes, you will get all the credit you deserve!"

"But don't stand in the way of me and my brothers. We are going with the prince to recover the lost territory. If you are unwilling to take the risk, we will take it!"

"Wei Da, do you know what you are saying?" Wei Wenzhong's expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of coldness in his pupils. He stared at Wei Da in front of him.

Having Song Yuan alone is enough of a headache for him, and Wei Da suddenly jumps out at this critical moment. Is he looking for death?

But facing such a threat, Wei Da remained undaunted: "Why would I call you Grandpa Wei?"

"You and I may share the same surname, Wei, but my Wei family is ashamed of you. Listen carefully! If you dare to say another word or act timid again, and then we miss the chance to reclaim our lost territory, I won't care who you are!"

"When the time comes, I'll just turn hostile and chop off your head. I want to see if the dogs in the army will eat your flesh. Will they find it disgusting too?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

General Wei's reputation had already plummeted at this point. Seeing that he was contradicted by Wei, not only did no one say anything to stop him, but many generals also laughed along.

Not only that, everyone present gathered together and talked about it, not even shying away from it in front of General Wei.

"Bah! You still have the nerve to call me a great general? I think calling me a big coward is more appropriate!"

"Now I understand. No wonder we were always suppressed by the barbarians. It's strange that we were undefeated when we were led by such a coward!"

"I feel sorry for the prince. He fights for his life every day just to recover the lost territory, but in the end, he is held back by such a person!"

"Stop talking, what's the big deal about being a drag? Have you forgotten last time? The prince was fighting a life-and-death battle with the barbarians, and some people behind the scenes just watched. If it weren't for the prince's strength, I'm afraid he would have lost his life there..."

"What are you talking about? The general is doing this for our sake. He doesn't want us to fall into the barbarians' trap!"

"Bah, you bastard, you haven't even gotten comfortable being a dog, have you?"

For a moment, the discussion completely drowned out the conversation of the three people.

The situation has become one-sided!

Although there were still many people who supported General Wei, as soon as they spoke out, they were quickly drowned out by the voices of others.

After all, when it comes to national territory, everyone has a little more expectation in their hearts.

Just the four words "recover lost territory" themselves bring great glory!

This lost land was lost from their hands in the first place, and now they finally have the chance to take it back, who would be willing to give it up?

However, General Wei repeatedly spoke out to stop them, standing against everyone and naturally became the public enemy!

Listening to these discussions for a while, General Wei's face became even gloomier.

He glanced around with a serious look, and felt that the eyes of many people looking at him had changed.

Are you scolding me?

You are all scolding me, right?

Am I what you call a wimp now?

Thinking of this, General Wei finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He stretched out his hand, pointed around, and roared.

"You...you are so outrageous!"

All of them are rebelling!

I just gave a few words of advice. When did I say that I would not recover the lost territory?

I just want to be careful, afraid of falling into the trap of the barbarians. When did I say I wouldn't take action?

You bastards, you have clearly been misled by the prince. This bastard just wanted this kind of ending!

You listened to him and dared to be so presumptuous!

Do you still have me at home?

Is there such a thing as military law?

"Alright, alright, if you ask me, everyone should just cut the smack and calm down!"

Just when General Wei was about to explode, Murong Lie beside him finally stood up and acted as a peacemaker.

"If you ask me, there's still half a day left. Why are you all in such a hurry?"

"I think what General Wei said makes sense. The city must be replaced, but it's better to be cautious. Why don't we discuss it first and make a detailed plan to prevent any accidents!"

In fact, deep down, Murong Lie also felt that General Wei’s choice this time was correct.

It's just a few extra words, there's really no need to make a big deal out of it.

Everyone had suffered a lot at the hands of the barbarians before, so there was really nothing to blame for being more cautious at this moment.

He just felt that everyone seemed to have been misled by the prince!

Song Yuan and Wei Da were so excited, and as the conflict escalated, everyone seemed to think that it was General Wei Da who wanted to stop all this!

But in fact, these people have never thought about it. As the saying goes, it is difficult to offend the public anger. Even General Wei has the courage to do so?

In the end, Murong Lie could only shake his head.

After all, people no longer believe in General Wei!

The last performance had completely made General Wei lose the support of the people, which led to the current outcome.

Otherwise, if one's reputation is placed before that of General Wei, and one is only being cautious, who would dare to say anything more?

Nowadays, General Wei’s reputation in the military camp has plummeted, and any small mistake may be magnified!

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for General Wei to regain control of the situation.

As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to all wrong steps. Many mistakes cannot be made up for at all!

Just like General Wei now!

Fortunately, Murong Lie's appearance finally brought about some changes. Under his persuasion, General Wei and Song Yuan finally reached a consensus and decided to go to Sanbian City first to discuss any issues!

On the march.

Wei Da approached Song Yuan with an excited look on his face: "Your Highness, what you did this time is really exciting. I never thought that you would achieve such a great feat so soon!"

"I don't care about any merits, but as a son, I have helped my father get back the land he lost!"

Song Yuan was very serious when faced with this topic: "When we were in the Imperial City, my father said more than once that the Three Border Cities must be taken back, otherwise he would be ashamed to see his ancestors!"

"Now I have fulfilled his wish. From now on, as long as we are careful and cautious, it should be enough to recapture Sanbian City!"

Wei Da nodded with satisfaction at Song Yuan's words, and then started cursing again.

"If you ask me, it's completely heartless for that Wei guy to step in and stop something like this!"

"Your Majesty has treated him well. He was promoted to his current position by Your Majesty, but in the end, he failed to show loyalty to the Emperor. He is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. It's disgusting!"

Wei Da had a loud voice to begin with, and after he shouted, these words instantly reached General Wei's ears.

Upon hearing such an evaluation, General Wei clenched his fists tightly.

For a moment, I wanted to take action right away and kill that bastard Wei Da!

Song Yuan is a real talent. At least his military achievements were accumulated by himself. What can Wei Da compare to him?

If it weren't for his father's reputation, would a general like me be afraid of him?

In just a moment, General Wei made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach this bastard a lesson!

While General Wei was secretly feeling annoyed, Song Yuan had already lowered his voice and whispered to General Wei beside him.

"By the way, Brother Wei, I remember you told me at the time that you still had several hundred barbarian captives in your hands, didn't you?"

"Have someone bring those captives here soon. We can take advantage of this opportunity to return to Sanbian City and exchange captives with the barbarians!"

Upon hearing Song Yuan's arrangement, Wei Da had no doubts at all. He hurried forward and gathered all the captives in his hands together.

After a while, everyone finally arrived at the camp where Wei Da was.

Song Yuan first sent Luo Jia among the captives and locked them up under their supervision, and then followed him into the tent.

General Wei had a gloomy expression on his face and was now sitting in the upper position.

The moment he saw Song Yuan, he waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to speak now, right? How exactly do you negotiate with the barbarians?"

"Let's get together and have a good discussion to see if there is any problem!"
