In fact, it wasn't just Achilles and Odysseus. At this moment, all the soldiers in the cave looked at Xia Zhe with admiration.
What are you looking at?
Haven’t you seen a handsome guy?
Xia Zhe frowned unconsciously, feeling quite disgusted by the looks from everyone.
I just wanted to run away!
It’s all Lillian’s fault for leading me here without knowing what was going on!
Do you think I want to offend Macedonia?
What do you mean by that expression now? Are you trying to put the blame for organizing this battle on me?
Absolutely not!
We must not let your conspiracy succeed!
Otherwise, I can’t wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhe hurriedly spoke and defined this battle.
"The victory in this battle is entirely due to the efforts of the soldiers! It is also because of Achilles' proper command and Odysseus' tacit cooperation! I announce that after returning to the city, everyone will be rewarded handsomely! Also, I will ask the historian to record this battle in detail in the history books. Record all the meritorious soldiers one by one! Especially Achilles and Odysseus, they must be mentioned in great detail!" Xia Zhe said.
Recorded in history!
Write it in great detail!
Upon hearing this, Achilles and Odysseus were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes.
It’s confirmed!
The king asked us to lead the troops and conduct large-scale exercises simply to enhance our reputation.
Wang must be afraid that we are too young.
Suddenly he stood in a high position, but was unable to convince the public!
That's why we help you get on the horse and send you on your way!
A full 400,000 people attacked 20,000 people!
Such an easy battle, as long as the commander is not a fool, he will definitely win!
What merit can this bring?
What's more, we let the Macedonian commander escape!
If the king had not taken action personally, this battle would have been nothing but regrets!
Not only did the king not blame us, but he gave us the highest treatment - our names will be recorded in history!
What a blessing it is to work under such a king!
"We have no credit at all. It's all thanks to the king's strategic planning and meticulous planning!" Achilles said with emotion.
Xia Zhe was stunned when he heard this. Before he could refute, the soldiers over there, led by Odysseus, had already started shouting slogans in unison!
"I am Wang Shengming!"
"I am Wang Shengming!"
…
Wise?
Are you trying to force Philip to issue a bounty for my life?
If anyone dares to take the credit for something and put a bounty on my head again, I will kill his entire family first!
Xia Zhe was furious when he heard this.
Of course, he hadn't lost his mind yet and knew he couldn't get angry at this moment.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xia Zhe managed to adjust his mood.
Then he waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he slowly spoke.
"Everyone fought bravely and escaped death. How can our contributions be erased? The rewards and records will be decided according to my decision. There is no need to discuss it further! The most important issue now is how to deal with this commander. You all step back first and let me discuss it with the two generals." Xia Zhe said.
Upon hearing this, the troops saluted and withdrew.
Apart from Xia Zhe's entourage, only Achilles, Odysseus and the Macedonian commander were left in the cave.
"Kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you! Anyone who fears death is not a good Macedonian man!"
Before Xia Zhe could say anything, the commander who was tied to the ground started shouting.
Although the battle was a crushing defeat, the Macedonians' deep-rooted pride remained.
Seeing that he could no longer escape, the commander only wished for death!
But Xia Zhe can't let him die!
If I kill this man, won’t I be unable to explain myself?
Even if he is successfully dismissed in the future, when Stobi surrenders to Macedonia, will he not be held accountable for the crime of killing a general?
How did the incompetent emperors in history release people without making any noise?
Who can teach me?
Xia Zhe shouted in his heart, but his face still had a pensive expression.
Seeing that the king was lost in meditation, everyone around him did not dare to disturb him and waited silently.
Everyone felt that Wang Ding was thinking about something important.
"Lillian, tell me. If it was your son, and he was captured by me, Stobi, on the battlefield, would you want him to die unyieldingly or be sent back to his home in Macedonia?" Xia Zhe suddenly asked.
He just thought of a historical story, the Battle of Yao between Qin and Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In that battle, Jin won a great victory and completely wiped out the Qin army.
Even the three main commanders of the Qin army were captured.
However, the mother of the King of Jin, who was a Qin citizen, stepped forward to plead for mercy.
As a result, the King of Jin softened his heart and released the man.
Leaving behind a lasting infamy!
As a king, he couldn't find a mother to hold him back. In fact, Lillian was the only woman in the entire army.
Lillian has to take the blame for this beauty causing trouble.
Xia Zhe hopes that Lillian can say a few sad words gently from a woman's perspective.
In this way, he could take advantage of the situation and find a reason to let go of the Macedonian commander.
"My king, Lillian is unmarried and has no son," Lillian replied.
"No son? I know you don't have a son. I mean, what if!" Xia Zhe explained.
"What if? If Lillian had a son, he would definitely work for me, Stoby. How could he be an accomplice of Macedonia?" Lillian answered seriously again.
Hearing this, Xia Zhe almost vomited blood.
I mean, are you a woman?
Why are you so stubborn?
Just as he was about to scold Lillian, the soldiers beside him actually echoed her.
"Well said! No matter how strong Macedonia is, we will still play for Stobi!"
