The officers knew that the other party had cried so much just to say these words to motivate them. Moreover, when they retreated to the city, they found that a military camp had been built outside the city, military supplies piled up like mountains, and even dozens of crossbows were placed in the military camp on the hill outside the city and on the city wall... If they had known that the other party wanted to hold on here, they would have responded one after another, saying that they wanted to learn from Wu Jinglie to be ashamed.

"Shame on you!" Wu Jie looked at them coldly for a long time, his tears wiped away by the yellow dust on the road, and then he stood up and continued to curse his subordinates. "Do you think I don't know what you think? You all just think I am pretending to be nice and forcing you to work hard... Of course I want to force you to work hard... But do I lack rewards for you or do I treat you unfairly?"

Hearing these seemingly realistic words, Wang Xi, Wang Wu and other trusted generals who were born as soldiers of De Shun immediately felt overwhelmed and stepped forward to request a battle, saying that they wanted to defend the military camp on the hill outside the city.

However, the two leading generals had just opened their mouths, but before they could finish their words, a gust of wind blew up the yellow soil dug out from the road construction project. Their mouths were filled with sand and dust, which was a little unbearable, so they had to keep silent, and Wu Jie burst into tears again.

The governor had no choice but to turn his back and cover his face with his hands, then continued to scold: "I just want to ask you, how do you know that I am not ashamed from the bottom of my heart today? You usually don't read books, but do you know that the deep mountain in the north is the tomb of our ancestor Huangdi? And is the court's favor fake? Is the government's generosity fake? Even a scum like Qu Da came back alive and became a governor, can you still say that the government treats us warriors fake? Under the ancestor's tomb, the court has shown me such favor. If I retreat and fail again, how can I live in this world with my face?"

These words were quite serious. Generals Wang Xi and Wang Wu took the lead, and all the other generals knelt down and swore an oath, claiming that they would never retreat again, otherwise they would be struck by lightning.

Wu Jinglie wiped his face clean for the second time, but asked coldly: "If we retreat again, what if there is no thunder in the sky?"

The generals were all confused. Finally, Wang Xi drew his sword and faced Wu Jie, saying, "Then please punish me according to military law."

"Of course I can punish you by military law." Wu Jie stepped forward to take the knife and stroked the blade with his hand. "But if you want to punish me by military law, I know you won't be truly convinced... Because I, Wu Jie, was defeated several times, too. If I want to punish you, shouldn't I be punished first?"

At this point, the generals were really at their wits' end, so no one said a word this time.

"How about this." Wu Jie returned the knife to Wang Xi, and then said coldly, "Let's write off the previous things... From today on, let's learn from the official's old days on Huaishang and set a new rule. Anyone who dares to retreat behind me without permission during a battle will be killed without mercy!"

The generals felt that today's mess could finally be put to an end, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they began to swear again... This time, at least there was no sandstorm... And when the generals finished swearing and swearing, Wang Xi and others took the opportunity to invite Wu Jie to enter the city from the suspension bridge. It was said that the officers in the city had contributed money to hold a banquet to celebrate the new Wu Jinglüe.

When Wu Jie heard this, his face darkened, but he headed towards the northern mountain stronghold. After walking a few steps, he turned back in front of the stunned generals and continued coldly: "I know that no matter how much I say from my heart today, even if I cut out my heart and liver for you Western Army bastards to see, you bastards may not believe it. Only I, Wu Da, can lead by example to convince you... More than 4,000 soldiers, divide them into two, pick out some good archers and give them to me, Wu Da, I will lead them to guard the mountain, and you go to guard the city. This city can be broken, but to break it, I, the general, must be killed first, that's all."

Having said that, Wu Jie did not look back, but walked past the busy road construction and went straight to the military camp on the opposite mountain.

When he reached the camp on the top of the mountain, he held onto a strange rock and looked up in all directions. To the east was the main force of tens of thousands of elite Jin people. To the south was Chang'an, where the government had secretly arrived according to the people who conveyed the imperial edict. To the west was Ningzhou, where Hu Jinglüe, who had been extremely kind to his brothers, was staying. And deep in the mountains to the north was the tomb of their ancestor Huangdi... He stared for a long time, lowered his head, and walked towards the camp, but he couldn't help shedding tears three times.

As for the officers who had been following him, they naturally hurried to catch up.
