Chapter 348

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

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

For a time, the siege battle ended.

"Consider yourself sensible! Hehe!"

Huang Zhong and Dian Wei smiled coldly upon seeing this.

On Sun Jian's side, returning to the middle army.

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

"Do you know how big a blow you have dealt to the morale by doing this?"

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

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

Sun Jian and the others felt even worse after hearing this.

Zu Mao didn't wait for Sun Jian to speak, and directly retorted 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 guarding us before;"

"We were set up!"

"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 the morale, why didn't you send people up to support and replace us in the siege at that time?"

"Right!"

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 Yuan Gonglu, we are here to help you, don't point fingers at us!"

"If you really have the ability, then just lead the troops to attack the city, we will definitely not stop you."

Han Dang also sneered and said: "Some people! They just have bad intentions! Just started the war with the enemy, and they have already started to suppress and frame their own people!"

"You... you all!"

Ji Ling was furious upon hearing this, and if he wasn't afraid of not being able to beat the siege of these few people, he would have wanted to do it directly.

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

"Heh!"

Sun Jian had already recovered and said indifferently: "My subordinates' meaning is my meaning, is this attitude clear enough?"

"You!"

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

"Hehe! Betrayal is not the word!"

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

"Yes! I once accepted the Yuan Clan's help, but that was only the Yuan Clan, not Yuan Shu;"

"Furthermore, having accepted the help, I am willing to work for the Yuan Clan to repay the Yuan Clan's kindness;"

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

Yuan Shu had previously ordered him around three or four times, 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.

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

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

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

Preparing to wash his hands of it.

Anyway, now that Yuan Shu is facing Su Xuan, Yuan Shu is in big trouble.

He wants to see how Yuan Shu will compete with Su Xuan without him?

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

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

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

"You..."

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

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

Leaving a sentence, Ji Ling left angrily.

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

"That 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 Yuan Shu anymore?

"Hmm!"

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

"Moreover, we also needed to rely on him to expand our momentum before;"

"Now the timing is just right!"

"Even if Yuan Shu knows, he won't dare to really turn against me, and will have to continue to provide for me, letting me help him."

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

"Even if Yuan Shu's original intention was not to start a full-scale war with Su Xuan, it's the same."

"However,"

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

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

"The four of us couldn't even take 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 inflated because of constant victories over the years.

This time, it completely woke him up.

He was still far from being invincible in the world.

In this world, there are still quite a few fierce generals stronger than him.

"Not really, right?"

Sun Jing looked disapproving upon hearing this: "They only relied on an ambush 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 Dian Wei, and hearing Sun Jing's words, they looked at Sun Jing with a weird expression. They thought: "Just you?"

"Shut up!"

Sun Jian's face turned black upon hearing this, and he scolded the self-righteous Sun Jing: "That Huang Zhong and Dian Wei are at least peerless fierce generals in the mid-stage of Gangjin. You are just a martial artist in the early stage of Transformation Realm, how dare you say such wild words?"

"Even if it were me, I am at least a big realm worse than the opponent, where did you get the confidence?"

"If your eyes don't work, just donate them, don't lose face for me here."

Simply stupid to the core.

Not even able to see the strength of the enemy and himself, yet still daring to talk big here.

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

Sun Jing: "....."

He was directly scolded into a daze by Sun Jian.

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

Because 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 Jian since he was a child.

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

"Lord! Are Huang Zhong and Dian Wei really that powerful? At least mid-stage Gangjin?"

"Doesn't feel like it!"

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

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