Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 414 Dead End

"This……"

Hearing Zheng He's reminder, General Wei's face suddenly changed, but he returned to normal in a moment and waved his hand lightly.

"Don't worry, that won't happen!"

"Even if Song Yuan is extremely intelligent, how could he possibly predict a hundred steps ahead?"

On the surface, General Wei seemed to have great confidence, but in fact, after hearing Zheng He's analysis, his heart had already been in turmoil.

After all, as the deputy general said before, Song Yuan can never be judged by common sense!

If it were an ordinary person, how could he have inflicted heavy damage on the barbarians so many times?

Just based on Song Yuan’s previous military achievements, it was already a miracle!

How could such a person not have a rebellious heart?

With such talent, how can you be willing to be inferior to others?

However, General Wei knew that he was now the backbone of the entire army and must not cause chaos!

If he gets confused, Zheng He and his lieutenants beside him will only become more panicked!

If such a scene were noticed by the lower-level officers and soldiers, they would immediately become panic-stricken. Would they still be able to survive then?

In the eyes of General Wei, he is now trapped in Tianshan City. He is afraid that none of his previous confidants can be trusted. Otherwise, how could the guards around his own brother set a trap?

Judging from the current situation, the only people I can count on are the two people beside me!

If even they fell out, General Wei would be completely deserted by his friends and relatives. Without the support of his subordinates, how could he fight against Song Yuan alone?

I'm afraid that the only thing waiting for him is death.

So one wrong step will lead to all wrong steps.

General Wei is now like walking on ice. If he makes any mistake, he will be doomed.

However, at this point, only General Wei knew what he was thinking.

He did resent Song Yuan, but what he regretted more at this moment was his own brother's original choice!

If it weren't for Wei Wushuang, who had an affair with the prince behind my back, how could I have come to where I am today!

Now Song Yuan led his men and successfully broke through without paying much cost, beyond his expectations.

General Wei knew in his heart that no matter how tough he was, he would not be able to escape the fate of becoming a prisoner in the end.

Even if I can hold on to the end, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape imprisonment!

It’s a pity that even if I regret it now, I can’t turn back!

Now, General Wei knew that there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, but he had no right to turn back and could only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.

The greatest luxury is to be able to stop in front of the sea of ​​fire and swords and escape with your life.

As for wanting to return to the peak, it is probably just a luxury!

When he made that decision, he had completely blocked his retreat. Carrying the name of a sinner, who would be willing to give him a chance to atone for his sins?

Now the only option is to escape!

As long as he can escape Song Yuan's pursuit and His Majesty's punishment, perhaps he can still survive.

Otherwise, even if Tianshan City can hold on to the end, he may not be forgiven by His Majesty!

Even if Song Yuan was a rebel, with the testimony of tens of thousands of Zhenbei Army soldiers, he, who was surnamed Wei, would definitely not escape the severe punishment of His Majesty.

For a moment, General Wei fell into silence, frowning, just to find the last glimmer of hope.

As a smart man, General Wei had already thought about the consequences of leaving the city.

Now that his trust has reached its lowest point, if the city gates are closed, perhaps he can still restrain his subordinates.

Once people leave the city without the constraints of the city gates, many people will immediately turn to Song Yuan. This is an indisputable fact!

But if you stay here, you can only wait for death.

Leaving the city is the only option!

He could hide for a while, but not forever. Now he had no choice but to flee to the territory of the barbarians, perhaps to guarantee his last chance of survival.

However, General Wei also knew that there was no turning back for him, but the people around him might not make the same choice.

Going to the barbarians is equivalent to rebellion. Even those who originally supported you would probably turn against you on the spot when faced with such a choice!

In order to do this, he had to come up with a good excuse, hiding it from everyone and making everyone embark on the same road to death as himself.

Only then will it be possible to bring your subordinates along and survive to the end!

Thinking of this, General Wei's face suddenly frowned, and he asked to the people around him with a serious look.

"Let me ask you one question: Do you believe in me?"

Zheng He's face suddenly darkened when faced with such an inquiry, while the deputy general nodded without thinking!

"I believe that if I wasn't the general, how could I have such a status now?"

"Back in the Land of Divine Punishment, Song Yuan hid it from the General and forced us outsiders into the canyon to die. It was General Wei who saved me, otherwise I might not be alive today!"

"I'm afraid Song Yuan already had rebellious intentions at that time, so I believe General Wei is absolutely innocent!"

Seeing the deputy general taking the lead, Zheng He felt embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "I believe in the general too!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that his identity was recognized by the two, General Wei immediately smiled and waved his hand at the two.

"Since you trust me so much, let's go all out this time. Together, the three of us will definitely accomplish a great feat of redress!"

Having said that, Wei Wenzhong began to discuss the next plan with the two of them.

……

At the same time in Zhenbei City.

After General Wei left, he personally arranged his close confidants to be the leaders of his children!

The general's name was Dugu Xin. He originally thought that he could only hold this position for three days at most, and then General Wei would be able to return successfully with good news.

However, he did not expect that General Wei would arrive in the end. Instead, he received bad news about General Wei.

When Dugu Xin heard that the princess and Murong had besieged General Wei in Tianshan City, he felt a headache.

Now, all the people in Zhenbei City combined are only about 20,000 people.

With just this amount of troops, even if Dugu Xin wanted to go to Tianshan City for rescue, he would probably not be a match for the princess's men!

Moreover, Dugu Xin was already somewhat hesitant about whether to rescue him or not.

As one of the low-level officers and soldiers, he naturally understood the thoughts of those soldiers.

Even if the Martyr Deputy Commander is not allowed, those people probably will not follow him and commit the crime of rebellion with him without a suitable reason.

The whole thing is clearly a bit strange, and General Wei is very likely not innocent.

In this case, if he really lends a helping hand to rescue such a rebel, Dugu Xin will most likely be imprisoned!

And everyone's curses.
