Chapter 223

Sun Sun Jian immediately scolded Sun Jing and Zu Mao with a gloomy face, and then ordered the army to withdraw.

Soon, Sun Sun Jian's vanguard army retreated like a tide.

For a time, the siege war ended.

"Consider yourself sensible! Hehe!"

Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei smiled coldly upon seeing this.

Sun Sun Jian's side, returned to the central army.

Ji Ling ran over angrily and questioned loudly: "Sun Sun Jian! What are you doing? How come you retreated as soon as you climbed the city wall, and directly ordered a withdrawal?"

"Do you know how big a blow this is to morale?"

"Don't tell me you want to run away?"

"Don't forget! You are the Vanguard General!"

Sun Sun Jian and the others felt even worse when they heard this, as their mood was already stifled.

Zu Mao didn't wait for Sun Sun Jian to speak, and directly fought back with a dark face: "Ji Ling, stop talking nonsense here;"

"I don't believe you didn't see that it was the enemy's main general waiting for us;"

"We were tricked!"

"My Lord and I almost lost our lives this time, and you still have the nerve to come and hold us accountable?"

"Worried about affecting military morale, why didn't you send people up to support and take over the siege at that time?"

"Exactly!"

Cheng Pu also looked at Ji Ling coldly and said: "We are not your subordinates, we are here to cooperate with the battle at the request of General Lord Yuan Gonglu, we are here to help you, don't point fingers at us!"

"If you really have the ability, then lead the troops to attack the city yourself, we definitely won't stop you."

Han Dang also sneered at this time: "Some people! They are just malicious! Just started the war with the enemy, and they have already started to suppress and trick their own people!"

"You... you all!"

Ji Ling was furious upon hearing this, and if it weren't for the fear of not being able to beat the siege of these few people, he would have wanted to take action directly.

He immediately looked at Sun Sun Jian with a dark face and said: "Sun Sun Jian, look at these subordinates of yours, what do they mean? Don't you care?"

"Heh!"

Sun Sun Jian had recovered by now, and said calmly and leisurely: "My subordinates' meaning is my meaning, is this attitude clear enough?"

"You!"

Ji Ling's expression froze, and he said angrily: "Sun Sun Jian, what do you mean? Do you want to betray my Lord?"

"Hehe! Betrayal is out of the question!"

Sun Sun Jian smiled mockingly: "Because, I am not Lord Yuan Shu's subordinate at all!"

"Yes! I once accepted the help of the Lord Yuan clan, but that was the Lord Yuan clan, not Lord Yuan Shu;"

"Furthermore, having accepted the help, I am willing to do things for the Lord Yuan clan to repay the kindness of the Lord Yuan clan;"

"But this does not mean that I have a subordinate relationship with Lord Yuan Shu, do you understand?"

Lord Yuan Shu had ordered him around three or four times before, treating him as a subordinate, as a dog, and letting him do all the dirty and tiring work.

Killing Zhang Zi was one;

Taking down the counties and cities of Nanyang was another.

Lord Yuan Shu even confiscated all the money and food he brought from Changsha and Jiangxia.

Sun Sun Jian had long been holding a belly of fire.

This time, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he exploded himself.

He was ready to wash his hands of it.

Anyway, now that Lord Yuan Shu is at odds with Su Xuan, Lord Yuan Shu's trouble is big.

He wanted to see how Lord Yuan Shu would contend with Su Xuan without him?

Of course, he didn't want to completely turn against Lord Yuan Shu, just purely wanted to give Lord Yuan Shu a profound lesson.

Let him know how to get along with him and how to treat him.

He wanted to tell Lord Yuan Shu that he was not his slave, not someone he could dominate as he pleased.

"You..."

Ji Ling wanted to get angry and say harsh words, but seeing Sun Sun Jian's indifferent eyes, he felt a chill for no reason, and finally swallowed the harsh words.

"Sun Sun Jian, you will regret this! I will report everything to my Lord truthfully!"

Leaving a sentence, Ji Ling left angrily.

"My Lord, you finally figured it out! You should have done this a long time ago!"

"That Lord Yuan Shu is getting more and more excessive! We are not his subordinates!"

After Ji Ling went far away, Zu Mao couldn't help but speak.

His face was full of smiles.

Is the Lord not planning to endure Lord Yuan Shu anymore?

"Hmm!"

Sun Sun Jian nodded and said: "I wanted to do this a long time ago! But I haven't found a suitable opportunity before;"

"Moreover, we also needed to use him to expand our own momentum before;"

"Now the timing is just right!"

"Even if Lord Yuan Shu knows, he won't dare to really turn against me, and still has to continue to provide for me and let me help him."

"Su Xuan is not simple. Just relying on Lord Yuan Shu and Ji Ling to deal with Su Xuan, you're thinking too much!"

"Even if Lord Yuan Shu's intention is not to go to war with Su Xuan comprehensively, it's the same."

"However,"

Speaking of this, Sun Sun Jian looked toward Xinye City with a solemn expression: "I knew before that Su Xuan's great generals Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei were very powerful;"

"But I didn't expect them to be this powerful!"

"The four of us couldn't even withstand one move from them!"

"Even, I feel they were still holding back;"

"Otherwise, just now, we might have already died!"

He admitted that he had been expanding because of constant victories over the years.

This time, it completely woke him up.

He was far from being invincible in the world.

In this world, there are still many fierce generals stronger than him.

"Not really, right?"

Sun Jing heard this and looked disapproving: "They just relied on a sneak attack this time;"

"If we fight head-on, I have the confidence to defeat them!"

Cheng Pu and Han Dang vaguely felt the strength of Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, and when they heard Sun Jing's words, they looked at Sun Jing with a weird expression. They thought: "Just you?"

"Shut up!"

Sun Sun Jian's face turned black when he heard this, and he scolded Sun Jing, who was self-righteous: "Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei are at least peerless fierce generals at the middle stage of Gang-strength. You are just a martial artist at the early stage of Transformation, how dare you say such wild words?"

"Even if it's me, I'm at least a big realm worse than the other side, where do you get the confidence?"

"If your eyes don't work, just donate them, don't embarrass me here."

Simply stupid to the extreme.

Not even able to see the strength of the enemy and ourselves, and still dare to talk big here.

If you don't change, you won't even know when you die on the battlefield.

Sun Jing: "....."

He was scolded dumbfounded by Sun Sun Jian.

After coming back to his senses, he didn't dare to talk back to Sun Sun Jian, just lowered his head and didn't dare to refute.

Because Sun Sun Jian was several years older than him, and since his father died early, he could be said to have been brought up by Sun Sun Jian since he was a child.

An elder brother is like a father, and he was afraid of Sun Sun Jian.

"My Lord! Are Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei really that powerful? At least middle stage of Gang-strength?"

"Doesn't feel like it!"

"If it's really true, then we have absolutely no possibility of survival this time!"

At this time, Han Dang also couldn't help but speak.
