Chapter 293: Humble Author, Ending with Tears

Hearing this, Shen Wan narrowed her eyes and racked her brains to recall the plot.

Pei Lin, as the commander-in-chief, was extremely careless about the enemy, and was also a bit stubborn and self-righteous. All these factors caused him to fall into Duo Chen Heli's schemes several times.

The consequence was that not only did he lose tens of thousands of soldiers and two cities, but his uncle also died tragically on the battlefield while trying to save him.

When the news reached Beijing, the whole country was shocked and terrified.

What's funny is that the failure of this war was clearly caused by many reasons, including Su Haitang's strong recommendation, Xiao Yelin's distrust of Shen Yuanhao, and Pei Lin's incompetence, but in the end, the one who was scolded was Shen Yuanhong, who stayed indoors.

Some court officials and common people were maliciously instigated to curse Shen Yuanhong for being afraid of death and fearing that losing to Duochen Heli would break his myth of being undefeated, so he was unwilling to go to war.

He also said that he was so selfish and unworthy of being the Duke of Shen that he ignored the border war and the safety of his country.

The Shen family's remaining reputation was completely ruined.

In desperation, Shen Yuanhao found Shen Yuanhong and tried to persuade him to cheer up for the sake of the people living in the border areas.

What he didn't know was that Shen Yuanhong had gone to find Xiao Yelin long after Pei Lin's first defeat.

However, Xiao Yelin was afraid that his achievements would surpass his master's and his prestige in the military camp was too great, so he decided to train his own commander. He rejected him outright, deprived him of his military power, and placed him under house arrest.

How could Shen Yuanhong be willing to work for such a narrow-minded person who disregards the soldiers and civilians at the border for his own selfish interests?

Seeing that Shen Yuanhong remained motionless despite the fierce scolding outside, the court officials finally panicked.

Everyone unanimously demanded that Xiao Yelin remove Pei Lin from his position as commander-in-chief, order him to return to Beijing to apologize, give an explanation to the people and the soldiers who died in the battle, and order the more capable Shen Yuanhong to fight.

However, this move was opposed by Xiao Yelin and Su Haitang, who were wary of Shen Yuanhong.

Su Haitang broke into the court with the majesty of a queen, and with the halo of a heroine, she cited countless classic historical examples of turning defeat into victory to support Pei Lin.

Finally, he used the sentence "Victory and defeat are common in war", leaving all the ministers speechless.

Under Xiao Yelin's deliberate protection, she succeeded easily and won an opportunity for Pei Lin.

Grateful for the heroine's high expectations, Pei Lin cheered up, actively learned from the lessons of his previous failure, and retreated to the third city with his remaining soldiers.

This time, he focused on defending the city while remaining still, and rarely took the initiative to attack.

Because of his cautiousness, the battle came to a stalemate and he was barely able to slow down Duochen Heli's offensive.

This dragged on for half a year, during which both sides won and lost.

Seeing that the small Beidi had been so arrogant for so long, his side had been unable to recover the lost territory, and the other neighboring countries were constantly making small moves, under internal and external troubles, Xiao Yelin's patience finally disappeared.

He thought of Shen Yuanhong who had been under house arrest for a long time.

After much deliberation, he decided to re-employ Shen Yuanhong to work for him.

Therefore, an imperial edict was issued to send Shen Yuanhong to the border, but he was restricted in many ways. Countless pairs of eyes were placed around him, and the elite troops were deliberately detained and given to a group of young men who had just been captured.

Hearing this, Shen Yaoxing was so angry that he couldn't help but curse.

"This Xiao Yelin is such a piece of shit. How can someone as petty and narrow-minded as him deserve to be risked his life for?"

Dad is the commander-in-chief, not a prisoner. Such strict surveillance is simply insulting.

He wants Dad to work for him, and he wants to control everything about Dad. He deliberately doesn't give the Shen family army, which can cooperate better with Dad, to him, and uses a group of new recruits to fight against Duo Chen Heli's elite. Isn't this clearly asking Dad to die?

In this situation, even if my father hadn't been betrayed, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long, right?

Who is Duochen Heli?

He was the most powerful general of Beidi. He was brave, resourceful, and resourceful, as well as vicious and cruel. Looking at the surrounding countries, he was one of the most evil gods.

Even the King of Beidi had to show him some courtesy. How could my father resist in such a situation?

In his opinion, Xiao Yelin didn't want his father to win at all.

For fear of defiling Chen Wan's ears, Chen Yaoxing forced himself not to curse harshly, but in his heart he cursed Xiao Yelin tens of thousands of times, as dirty as he could.

[Yes, he is suspicious by nature, always has been.]

[Don't say that he had a falling out with the Shen family because of my sister. Even if he really married my sister, he wouldn't trust my father easily.]

[Let's not talk about him for now. Anyway, as long as the emperor is alive, he can't take the throne for the time being. ]

If you can't get to the top, you can't treat your father as you please.

Let’s continue talking about Dad.

[In the plot, Dad was supposed to be sent to Dingbei Pass to fight Duochen Heli a year later, but now, due to the plot twist, Dad's trip to Dingbei Pass has been brought forward by a full year.]

[After all, Dad and Pei Lin are different, so many things have actually lost their reference value.]

More importantly, the military power of the Shen family army is still in the hands of his father. Shen Wan feels that the situation is much more optimistic than in the original plot.

Six months later, the Shen family pacified the Northern Di, Pei Lin betrayed Shen Yuanhong, and was finally brutally killed by Duochen Heli.

The Shen family returned victorious, and Su Haitang's plan ended in failure.

Under the constant persuasion of Emperor Xiao Jue, Shen Qingyi gradually accepted Xiao Jue and went to the palace to accompany him every now and then.

Chen Yaoxing even took Xiao Jinmian to travel around.

After Shen Yuanhong returned from the victory, he left the Shen family to Chen Mu to manage. He wanted to be a leisurely general with a wife and children and a warm bed.

Xiao Wan'er gradually grew up and became a graceful and beautiful young lady. Under the conquest of the great devil Chu Ziyu, she gradually let go of her feelings and promised to be together for the rest of her life.

When she got married, Shen Yuanhong, Shen Mu, Shen Qingyi and Shen Yaoxing worked together to arrange the wedding, and Mrs. Shen cried her heart out.

With the help of Shen Wan, the Shen family resolved all crises. In this life, everyone is there, and everyone has escaped the role of cannon fodder.

This life is finally complete.
