Chapter 873

"I'm not playing tricks, I don't like to joke around, and I absolutely don't mean to mock you!" Seeing Zhu Bin said with a smile, "Your plan is really good. From an overall perspective, if we can sacrifice me, sacrifice the few tens of thousands of people in Nangang City, in exchange for time, set up an ambush, and leave this whole group behind, then it's completely worth it... Even if we can only grievously wound them, it's worth it. In the end, there will be the next Shuicheng, Bohai City!"

Su Yang lowered his head and silently closed his eyes: "Lord Zhu, we haven't made a decision yet!"

"I feel your plan is the best, there probably isn't a better way!"

In the dilapidated old warehouse, a falling needle could be heard.

Seeing Zhu Bin sighed deeply: "Just like you, I once won the title of Southwest's Number One Genius, more than forty years earlier than you. At that time I was the only genius in our Hui'an City to ever win this title, and I basked in glory for quite a while!"

"Later, when Hui'an City fell, our City Lord did his utmost to send us away. At that time I hated myself so much, wishing I could have died together with the City Lord!" Seeing Zhu Bin gazed at the crescent moon outside the broken window and murmured, "At that time I was wondering, could I ever, just once, die as gallantly as the City Lord!"

"Southwest? Jiang'an City?" Su Yang suddenly raised his head and looked at Seeing Zhu Bin, "Is that the Hui'an City on the side of Daxing City? The one that was sacked for bandit suppression over thirty years ago?"

In Su Yang's memory, Qixing City's Wu Yujing seemed to have mentioned it to him!

At that time, Hui'an City was even closer to the Hui'an Mountain Range.

After Hui'an City fell, it was Taixing City that took on the front line of suppressing the fierce beast rampage in the Hui'an Mountain Range.

Four years ago, after Daxing City was overrun by Hell Blood Vine Flowers, this burden was placed on Tuxing City's shoulders!

"That's the Hui'an City!" Seeing Zhu Bin corrected him, "But it wasn't over thirty years ago, it was over forty years ago. Perhaps it's been too long, many people have forgotten!"

"You can still remember Ancheng, I'm already quite touched... Only those of us deserters who escaped from Jiang'an City back then would still remember Ancheng!"

In Su Yang's heart, an inexplicable heaviness welled up.

Come to think of it, he and Seeing Zhu Bin were fellow townsmen.

Everyone was separated by a Daxing City!

Seeing Zhu Bin was of his grandfather's generation.

"What I said to you just now, I just want to tell you, I won't resent you. It's fine to do things according to your plan!" Seeing Zhu Bin said, "I've long been prepared. We soldiers who eat grain will sooner or later face such a day. When we took the oath of enlistment, we said it splendidly... If there really is an underworld, when I see the old City Lord, I can face him with a clear conscience!"

After Seeing Zhu Bin finished this speech, he turned to look at An Hang: "Deputy Company Commander An, do you feel you have a better plan than Su Yang?"

"I don't, but I think it's still better for Lord Su to notify the Southeast General Military Department first. Anyway, he runs faster!" An Hang said in a deep voice, "If the High-ranking military officials of the Southeast Military Department have a better plan, then we'll use the better plan. If they also agree with Su Yang's plan of multiplication and division, then let the Southeast Military Department decide!"

From a rational standpoint, An Jian also believed that abandoning Nangang City, gathering forces, and fighting a great decisive battle at Lintai City was the best choice. But whether abandoning Nangang City was Su Yang's decision or the Southeast Military Department's decision — these were two entirely different matters.

This matter, if led entirely by Su Yang, the information would very likely spread.

If Su Yang's such cold-blooded decision were spread abroad, it would damage his reputation and cost him many backers.

It might also become a stain on his life, or a scar he could never forget for a lifetime.

Don't think that those who make such cruel decisions can forget them in their hearts!

Carrying too much will, in the end, hinder one's progress.

An felt that this scapegoat should appropriately be borne by the High-ranking military officials of the Southeast Military Department!

The guilt in Su Yang's heart, the high-ranking officials of the Southeast Military Department should all share a portion!

Anyway, the High-ranking military officials of the Southeast Military Department, over a dozen people, everyone chipping in together, each taking a share, it doesn't matter in the end.

Why so many high-ranking officials?

Isn't it so that when bearing the blame, everyone can share the pressure together?

After hearing An's words, Seeing Zhu Bin also said: "Lord Su, if there's time, then go ask the Southeast Military Department's opinion! I reckon they won't come up with any better plan either!"

Seeing Zhu Bin had heard Su Yang mention earlier that he could make a round trip from Nangang City to Shengjing City in two days.

Then from Nangang City to Binhai City, it should only take one day.

One day's time is completely enough!

"Alright!"

Su Yang silently summoned his Void Spirit, and in an instant vanished from everyone's sight.

Seeing Zhu Bin asked in a low voice: "This space-type pet beast is quite convenient. Are all space-type pet beasts this powerful?"

"No!" An Hang shook his head and said, "I remember a General also had a King-grade space-type pet beast, but I've never heard that he could perform ultra-long-distance teleportation. Lord Su's space-type pet beast has extraordinary potential... Moreover, Su Yang himself seems to carry a kind of special talent!"

Seeing Zhu Bin said: "Excellent, he's no ordinary man!"

"Old Zhu, how about we just withdraw directly!" Liu, who had been standing on the side all along without uttering a word, suddenly spoke up, "Take the people from Nangang City and just flee. As long as you lead people to flee, the Military Department can't do anything. When the time comes, we'll all put in some good words for you. You'll just receive a little punishment and get past it!"

"In this life, I've escaped once, and I don't want to escape again!" Seeing Zhu Bin stood at the broken window, looking at the scattered lights outside and said in a low voice, "My only regret is that I've wronged some of them, but for the greater good, there's no other way... I will keep them company!"
