The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Gu Jingzhi did not ask anyone to stop them, but let them go happily.

Their goal was to safely reunite with Ma Han and his party, not to engage in battle with them, especially since Ma Han and his party did not look in good condition.

After Ge Wei and the others left, Gu Jingzhi dismounted and walked to Ma Han, "How is it?"

"I can still hold on!" Ma Han stood up straight.

Gu Jingzhi glanced at the Zhenbei Army behind him, who were looking at him with either burning or red eyes, and was silent for a moment, "It's my fault, I came too late."

"General, don't say that. How can this be your fault? It's the Southwest Army that is too shameless!"

"That's right, General, this is not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself."

"It's all because of those bastards. General, you shouldn't have let them go. With so many of us, we'll make sure they never come back!"

Shi Hanshuo: "Alright, stop talking."

"Help the wounded soldiers bandage their wounds first." Gu Jingzhi looked in the direction where Ge Wei and the others fled, "They won't come again. Set up camp, rest for a night, and then continue on the journey."

"Yes."

Ge Wei fled without a fight, and the people brought by Gu Jingzhi were not even scratched. After Gu Jingzhi gave the order to set up camp, they automatically split into two groups. One group went to accommodate the wounded, and the other group began to tidy up the camp, make fire and cook.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

the next day.

As soon as the sun rose, Gu Jingzhi announced the order to break camp.

No one had any objection. Although they all knew that after what happened last night, there wouldn't be any more trouble in the southwest, but it was better to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

Thanks to the sufficient supply of medicines and the presence of Doctor Wu, the soldiers who were injured last night are no longer in serious condition. Some soldiers who were unable to walk due to leg injuries have also been arranged to ride on carriages and carts.

Taking advantage of the rising sun, Gu Jingzhi led the Zhenbei Army and began their return journey.

……

"What!" Song Yan looked at Ge Wei, who was standing in front of him and covered in dust, with an unpleasant expression.

He picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it at him. Ge Wei was scared but didn't dare to hide. He could only stand there and let the paperweight hit his forehead, then fell to the floor with a dull thud.

Blood flowed from his forehead, slid down his cheeks and to his chin, where it gathered into drops and dripped onto the ground.

The blood blurred his eyes, but he didn't dare to wipe it off, nor did he dare to argue with himself. He could only let Song Yan opposite him get angry.

"Father, what happened?" Song Zhe stepped over the threshold.

Ge Wei had his back to him, so he didn't see the blood on his face, but only saw Song Yan's angry look.

When Song Zhe walked in, he realized that the person standing in the room was Ge Wei, and he also saw his miserable and embarrassed appearance.

"Ge Wei?" Song Zhe was puzzled. "Why is it you? Shouldn't you be..."

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. He looked at Song Yan who was holding his forehead in anger, then looked at Ge Wei with an unpleasant expression and said through gritted teeth, "Ge Wei! Don't tell me you failed?"

Ge Wei closed his eyes and knelt on one knee, "General, Major General, it is my incompetence!"

Song Zhe tried to breathe and calm himself down, and then he didn't kick out. "Incompetent? You are indeed incompetent! You brought so many elite soldiers, equipped with excellent weapons and horses, but you couldn't stop and kill Ma Han's group. What do you do for a living?!"

"Major General, with the people and equipment I brought, it is impossible for us to defeat Ma Han and his group. When we fought against Ma Han and his group, they were no match for us at all.

They were almost defeated. No one expected that Gu Jingzhi, the son of the general of the Zhenbei Army, would suddenly arrive with his men. The Zhenbei Army he led were all elite soldiers, so there was really no chance of winning if they continued to fight hard. "Ge Wei explained.

He did not expect that this mission, which seemed almost certain to succeed, would fail. Who would have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway? Gu Jingzhi arrived just in time. Gu Jingzhi was quite famous. He had heard of him in the southwest. It was said that this man was even better than his father. The Huns were terrified when they heard his name.

He brought a lot of people with him, but Gu Jingzhi also brought a lot of people with him. He was not sure that he could defeat him.

He also knew that he would not be able to get away with the general and the major general after escaping back to the southwest, but it was better than losing his life.

"Gu Jingzhi?" Song Zhe clenched his fists. "It's him again!"

Song Yan, who was sitting on a chair, glanced at his clenched fist and waved to Ge Wei, "You go down first."

"Yes." Ge Wei clasped his fists in salute, then hurried out of the room.

After leaving the room, he lightly touched the wound on his forehead, let out a hissing sound, raised his sleeve to casually wipe the blood stains on his eyes and face, and left holding on to the pillar.

Where is the room?

Song Yan stood up from his chair, walked around the table, came to Song Zhe, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said, "Relax."

"Father, we failed." Song Zhe was in a depressed mood. He originally thought that he was sure to win, but he didn't expect that no matter how many plans he had, they would not be as fast as the changes.

Especially since it was Gu Jingzhi who broke the deadlock, which made him even more angry and powerless.

"Failed, but also failed." Song Yan was indeed angry in his heart, but not as angry as he showed. The reason he did that was to test Song Zhe.

He wanted to see if he had listened to his words, and the result was good. He was so angry just now but didn't do anything, it seemed that he took his words to heart.

Song Zhe was puzzled, "Father, what does this mean?"

"Although our plan did not succeed, we also did not lose anything.

If it succeeds, it’s icing on the cake; if it fails, there’s no loss.”

Song Yan considered the possibility of failure from the very beginning. Whether it was a war or a plan, if he only considered success, he would have already failed halfway.

Ma Han dared to be so fearless in his territory with such a small number of people, so he must have something to rely on. Of course, it is also possible that he was just deliberately making an attack confusing, but no matter which one it was, he had to send people to test it.

If it succeeds, it succeeds; if it fails, it doesn’t succeed.

If it succeeds, he will benefit; if it fails, with the manpower and equipment Ge Wei brings, he can return safely, so he won't lose anything anyway.

He didn't let Song Zhe go because of this consideration. If he really went today, when he saw Gu Jingzhi, he might rush up to him in a daze, which would be bad.

The love of the parents is far-reaching.

"Father, I don't understand." Song Zhe didn't understand why his father looked so indifferent when he was so angry just now.

"Because I have already considered whether it will be a success or a failure. Zhe'er, I will teach you another lesson today. Before you take any action, the first thing you should consider is not success, but failure.

Only in this way can you succeed, understand?"
