As soon as they walked in, they heard the guards of Gyborgsilin say, "Governor, how can you eat only these? You need nutrition and you must not eat only food and very little fish. I will go to the forest to catch a rabbit for you." The guard said, picking up the bow and arrow and getting up.

"Stop!" Bingbo Silin immediately said: "Don't fight rabbits! The conditions are so difficult now that all the generals and soldiers of the entire army only eat these things. I can't make it special. Stop immediately!"

"Yes." Seeing that the governor was determined, the guard could only agree and stay outside the tent.

Bingbosilin seemed to say something to the guards again, but at this time he noticed that Saleh and Houmede were coming over with their jobs, and instead said to them: "The conditions are a bit difficult. In order to get rid of many tents as light as possible, neither of you can have a single tent.

But this is only temporary. The soldiers stationed at the valley entrance have been sent to speed up the time to build a camp. After a few days, we can live in a comfortable tent after we arrive at the valley entrance, and the accommodation conditions of the soldiers will be much better than this camp."

"This is nothing," Salih said: "Governor, sometimes commanding wars and even sleeping on horseback, surrounded by soldiers' snoring; we have a separate bed that is already very satisfied.

The rice is simple and nothing. When the marching is urgent, I ate cold and hard dry food, so I can only eat it in cold water. Now there is at least hot soup, which is not worth complaining.

But, Governor, you don’t need to stop the guard from taking a rabbit and bringing it back to eat. You are the commander of the entire army, and you are treated very specially and everyone can accept it."

"At this time, we have to be cautious." Bingbo Silin said: "We have just experienced an unprecedented defeat. After a long journey, the soldiers were facing such a simple residence and a rough breakfast. The soldiers' dissatisfaction may have reached its peak.

You must remember that Muslim’s original intention is brother, that is, as long as you become Muslim, everyone is brother, and even if it is not completely equal, there should be too much difference. Of course, it is impossible to truly achieve it in real life, but all Muslim thinks and expects it.

Since they think so and expect that when dissatisfaction is approaching their peak, anything that will aggravate their dissatisfaction may have serious consequences, and I can eat more rabbit meat than them may become such a thing. So I don't let the guards beat the rabbit."

"Are the soldiers so dissatisfied?" Saleh was surprised. "The march in the middle of the night, the road was muddy, and it rained halfway. When I came here, there were not many soldiers behind. I thought the morale was high."

"There are not many soldiers who fall behind at night because they are afraid of being killed by Qin's soldiers after falling behind. It is not because of their high morale." Bingbo Silin sneered: "The tenacious fighting will and hatred for our country displayed by Qin's soldiers in street fighting have long been deeply imprinted into the hearts of our soldiers. They have no doubt that once they fall behind, they will be killed by Qin's soldiers who are chasing them."

But after saying this, Bo Silin realized that the sneering expression was not suitable, and then quickly changed his expression.

"It's all the fault of my subordinates." Saleh immediately said: "I lost too badly in this battle, and I can't blame the soldiers for being dissatisfied. The reason why I lost so badly is that my subordinates bear a great responsibility. Please punish me for the Governor."

More than 70,000 soldiers died in this battle, which was not only the biggest defeat since the establishment of the Great Food Kingdom, but even exceeded the total of all other battles commanded by Gybosilin. Five out of every seven soldiers died in battle, and every alive soldier witnessed the death of his comrades many times; and after such a large casualty, how could the soldiers be satisfied?

Saleh was very guilty. Now it seems that after controlling the city of Suoye, he should immediately send troops to attack Yuluzhou, rather than wait until a large number of prisoners escaped before sending troops in a hurry; he should not be entangled in Jieshan City afterwards. After the attack was not won for three days, he should decisively give up and attack Yuluzhou City, and not give up the opportunity to dig tunnels in the city.

The reason why he did not immediately send troops to attack Yuluzhou after controlling Ruiye City was because he suggested to the Governor that he stabilized the control area of ​​Ruiye City and then attack other places controlled by Qin's people; the reason why he was entangled under Jieshan City was because he suggested to the Governor that he would capture Jieshan City to reduce logistical pressure, even if it took a few more days. Moreover, the main force of Qin's army's street fighting in Yuluzhou City - the captured people who escaped from Ruiye City also escaped when he was in charge of Ruiye City.

When he thought of this, he felt that he had made a great mistake and couldn't help but apologize to the Governor.

"It's all my fault," Houmede also said. But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Saleh: "What's your fault?"

"After just after leading troops to capture Suye City, you suggested sending troops to continue attacking other places controlled by the Qin man; it was the first time you asked the governor to withdraw troops from Yuluzhou City. If there is still someone in the entire army, then you will be the only one!" As he said, Saleh even felt regretful: 'It would be great if he supported his suggestion to withdraw troops at that time.'

"Sayed, Ziad is right. If there is someone in the entire army who is not at fault, it is only you." Bingbo Silin also said.

"But, Ziad, you are not the biggest mistake. I am the one who makes the biggest mistake!" Bingbo Silin said, with tears in his eyes, as if he could cry at any time.

"No matter what, the commander-in-chief of this battle is me, you, and all the generals at the strategic level, which are essentially my mistakes. The mistakes in this battle at the strategic level are far greater than those at the tactical level, so I made the biggest mistakes!"

These words just now detonated all his negative emotions since the war situation was reversed; and because he had escaped the suppression of emotions from the Qin army some time ago, the negative emotions erupted extremely fiercely.

‘When I left Jieshan City and rushed to Jaluzhou, the entire army had more than 80,000 auxiliary soldiers (not counting as Gelulu people). Later, 20,000 soldiers were added one after another, with a total force of more than 100,000!’

‘But in Yuluzhou, more than 70,000 soldiers died in a battle with the Qin man. Under my leadership, less than 30,000 left Yuluzhou City, and the losses were so heavy, and many of them were my soldiers in Khurashan. My father and even my grandfather knew me. How could I explain to them that my son died in battle but failed to win?’

‘How can I explain to the officials, nobles and priests in the Mesopotamia that I paid such a great price but gained nothing?’

‘Even if I don’t think about how to explain it to others, am I not sad about the soldiers’ death?’

While thinking, Bo Silin even shed a few tears.

"Governor!" "Governor!" Saleh and Houmede shouted.

They were frightened by the Governor's tears just now. Bingbo Silin had never cried before them, or even cried, and suddenly burst into tears, obviously a sign of collapse.

Although he was defeated in Yuluzhou City and his prestige was greatly reduced, he was still the only recognized commander of the nearly 30,000 soldiers who retreated to this point. Once he collapsed, the entire army would also collapse.

"Governor, although the battle in Luzhou City failed, this battle did not completely fail. We still occupied the land belonging to Qinna before the war, and it was still an advantageous side. And didn't Sayed talk about a combat plan when he persuaded to withdraw troops before, and blocked Qinna's army at the valley entrance. This strategy can still be implemented now.

Moreover, although our army suffered heavy losses, the Qin army also suffered a lot. According to estimates, there were about 40,000 soldiers who died in battle, which was also a loss of injuries. It was impossible to send troops to attack our army in a short period of time, and there was still time to arrange defense lines." Saleh immediately spoke and persuaded.

When Houmede heard Saleh's words, he smiled bitterly. If the troops were withdrawn at that time, he would have sufficient confidence to stop Qin's army at the valley entrance; but now his confidence is not as sufficient as it was at that time.

However, he did not say this. It was when he persuaded Bersilin to cheer up again. If Saleh's persuasion was ineffective due to his own discernment, his sin would be too great.

"Are you afraid I will collapse?" Saleh persuaded a few words, and Bingling suddenly laughed.

"I think you are too sad, Governor, and a few words of persuasion will make you no longer feel so sad." Saleh responded immediately. Although he was indeed thinking so in his heart, he could not say it out.

"Don't worry, I won't collapse," said Bingbo Silin again: "So many soldiers have died, I can't let less than 30,000 people die here anymore! I will definitely take them back to my hometown alive!"

He was indeed likely to collapse at that moment, but perhaps it was Saleh's persuasion that worked, or perhaps it was for other reasons that he quickly woke up.

"Governor, you are right. The soldiers must be returned to their hometown and they must be able to move their hometown." Saleh said immediately.

"Okay, don't talk about it for now. After finishing the meal first, it's time to get cold if you don't eat it." As he said, Bingbo Silin started to eat in big mouthfuls.

"Yes." Saleh and Houmede agreed, and immediately lowered their heads and ate in big mouthfuls.

They quickly finished the meal, and Saleh asked again whether to punish the generals. There was no need to mention the long-term matters in the past. He refers to the general who made mistakes after Qin's reinforcements arrived, and was willing to accept the first punishment.

But it was immediately rejected by Bercilin. "Now, stabilize the morale of the army should be the top priority, rather than punishing mistakes. If the mistakes made by some generals are punished, it is likely to cause unstable morale. I have decided not to pursue any general's faults, forever."

"Yes." Although Saleh opposed it in his heart, he also agreed.

"Governor, why did you choose such a day to break through?" Hou Meide suddenly asked. This question had been in his mind for nearly a day. He had been asking since he received the military order of Bingbosilin yesterday morning, but he had never had the right opportunity; he finally asked.

"That's how it is..."
