Chapter 71

Zhao Qinghe's first reaction to the news was that Chang Tingzhao was not seeking revenge for personal gain. Chang Tingzhao had complained to him before that if it weren't for General Lu's insistence, how could he have injured the horses and injured the soldiers, and how could he have fainted in order to save the horse. This thought was denied by Zhao Qinghe in just a moment. No matter how infatuated Chang Tingzhao was, he would not be so unreliable, not distinguishing between public and private, and having a hole in his brain.

Hearing that, Chang Tingzhao still admired General Lu very much. Although Xirong was powerful, Dayou had always been strong. If some officials had not retreated because they were afraid of death and did not resist, they would not have been crushed all the way to the Acropolis. And General Lu was a real man, leading all the generals to fight bloody battles, and was not afraid of the enemy with fewer troops, and never retreated, so he could defend until now. Otherwise, the fortress would have been breached long ago, and the Acropolis would have been lost. But

the time they spent together was too short, so how could they write about other people? They just downplayed it, and then hurried to express their feelings. Therefore, Zhao Qinghe really didn't understand why Chang Tingzhao would attack General Lu. General Lu was the leader of the fortress no matter what. Although more than half of the officers and soldiers of the fortress were lost, their strength should not be underestimated. Without the cooperation of local generals, it would not be easy to win this battle. If something happened, General Lu had to be punished at this time. Wouldn't this make the local soldiers feel disheartened?

Zhao Qinghe couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's going on?"

Lu Ke had already found out clearly, so he told the story, "It's about the previous battle. Didn't General Lu get seriously injured because of a little kid? Originally, General Lu should have only secretly gone to investigate the news, and shouldn't have attacked to alert the enemy. But General Lu saw that the Western Rong were rampant and wanted to harm the local people, so he ignored the military orders and rode deep into the country to rescue the child, which shocked the Western Rong people. Originally, General Chang wanted to find an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, but General Lu's impulse ruined the plan, so he had to attack in advance. But it also caused the battle to not be as beautiful as planned, and many Western Rong soldiers escaped. I heard that General Chang originally wanted to use this battle to boost morale, but General Lu couldn't help it for a while and messed it up."

Now everyone didn't know what to say. This was a paradox. If you obey the military order, you can only watch the child and his family die. If you don't obey the military order, you will be in violation of the military order and will be severely punished. Now you can't catch them all in one fell swoop. Now you save the child and his family, but it may also cause more people to be persecuted. Moreover, it was a big loss that he could not have a good start and could not use it to boost morale.

But as a general who loved the people like his own children, how many of them could bear not to fight when they saw the people dying in front of them?

Several of them were military doctors and understood the reason. They sighed one after another, not knowing whether to say that this was right or wrong. If the child was their own flesh and blood, if they knew that he could have been saved but was delayed for one reason or another, they would be angry. But military orders are like mountains, and as a soldier, you must obey them for the sake of the overall situation. If everyone disobeyed military orders for one thing or another, how could the army be led.
