Chapter 1174 Abandoned

"You look good." Wu Fan smiled at him.

"Thanks to Marshal Wu, I eat well and live well here, so I'm in a good mood." Peng Chuan said.

Compared to the frustration and anger when he was captured, Peng Chuan's mood was obviously much better at this time. When facing Wu Fan, he didn't look like he wanted to kill Wu Fan, but smiled calmly and calmly.

As a veteran of the Black Water Kingdom, Peng Chuan has fought for the country for many years. Although he won more than he lost, he must have lost. In his opinion, victory and defeat are common in the military, and he has long stopped taking one or two wins and losses to heart.

Although this defeat was the most painful one in his history, Peng Chuan still quickly adjusted from his anger and grief. He knew that the facts were set, and being angry would not help. He lost in the fight with Wu Fan this time, and lost thoroughly, but he did not admit defeat in his heart. He felt that as long as he was still alive, he would have the opportunity to defeat Wu Fan on the battlefield and turn the situation around.

Moreover, the Black Water Kingdom suffered a disastrous defeat this time, and the domestic situation was bound to be turbulent. As an important official of the court, he should keep a useful body to maintain domestic stability and help His Majesty solve the current difficulties.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Peng Chuan adjusted his mood quickly. He did not continue to complain about himself, but maintained a good state, waiting for his majesty to redeem him, and then immediately returned to work.

"That's good. I was also afraid that the people below were ignorant and did not take good care of General Peng." Wu Fan said.

"Marshal Wu, thank you for your concern." Peng Chuan said, "I don't know if His Majesty has contacted Marshal Wu."

"Contacted." Wu Fan nodded: "He wants to redeem the soldiers."

"What does Marshal Wu mean?" Peng Chuan asked hurriedly.

Obviously, Peng Chuan wanted to go back earlier and return to his post earlier.

"I refused." Wu Fan said without hesitation.

"Why?" Peng Chuan said subconsciously.

Wu Fan just smiled at Peng Chuan and did not answer.

Peng Chuan seemed to understand, "Wu Dashuai is worried that we will attack your Nanping Kingdom again after we return?"

"Shouldn't I have such worries?" Wu Fan said, "Your Blackwater Kingdom has attacked our Nanping Kingdom many times in the past. If I kindly let those soldiers go back, can your Majesty guarantee that you will not attack our Nanping Kingdom again?"

"This..." Peng Chuan was speechless for a moment.

Wu Fan said the truth. There have been many wars between Blackwater Kingdom and Nanping Kingdom in the past, and most of them were initiated by Blackwater Kingdom to attack Nanping Kingdom. If they can go back this time, I believe that it will not take long for them to attack Nanping Kingdom again.

"General Peng dare not guarantee it." Wu Fan said, "In fact, even if you guarantee it, I will not believe it. I am not that naive."

"But, redeeming prisoners after the war, isn't it a very normal thing?" Peng Chuan said.

"It is a very normal thing." Wu Fan said, "But in the past, when our Nanping Kingdom was defeated, did your Blackwater Kingdom release prisoners happily?"

Peng Chuan was speechless again.

In the past, the Black Water Kingdom had more wins than losses, and they did not do a good job in releasing prisoners. In order to attack the Nanping Kingdom, they would even deliberately torture the prisoners to make them lose their fighting power. However, they never thought that they would fail here this time, and fail so miserably.

"How will Marshal Wu deal with us?" Peng Chuan asked, "Execute us, or let us stay here as coolies?"

"Let's be coolies for the time being." Wu Fan said, "As for how to deal with it later, it depends on the will of our Majesty."

"I hope your Majesty will not have the same idea as Marshal Wu, otherwise, the relationship between our two countries will completely deteriorate." Peng Chuan said, with a hint of threat in his words.

"Isn't our relationship bad enough now?" Wu Fan smiled nonchalantly: "In fact, I think that General Peng should think more about himself instead of worrying about whether we will let those soldiers go."

"Myself?" Peng Chuan was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to remember something and asked Wu Fan: "Wait, you just kept saying that our Majesty wants to redeem those soldiers?"

"Yes."

"What about me and the other generals?"

"Not on the list of redemption requested by our Majesty." Wu Fan said lightly.

"This is impossible!" Peng Chuan was in disbelief after hearing this: "How could His Majesty give up on us? You must be lying! You just don't want to let us go!"

"Nothing is impossible. In the eyes of your Majesty, you are all sinners and should be held responsible for the last failed war." Wu Fan said lightly: "He doesn't want to waste a copper coin on you. You have suffered such a big defeat. In his eyes, you are all trash!"

"You are talking nonsense! His Majesty can't think like this!" Peng Chuan shouted to Wu Fan: "We have fought for His Majesty for many years and have made countless military achievements. He just lost this time. He can't give up on us!"

"But you lost so badly last time that it even affected the national destiny of your Black Water Kingdom." Wu Fan said.

Peng Chuan's face was embarrassed and angry: "Victory and defeat are common in the military. I will defeat you on the battlefield!"

"I'm afraid you won't have this chance." Wu Fan said: "I also believe that victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. A general's talent cannot be determined by the outcome of a battle. It's a pity that your Majesty doesn't think that way. He I feel that you are no longer useful. The failure of one battle is enough to prove your ability."

Peng Chuan stared at Wu Fan angrily, still unwilling to believe that he had been abandoned by His Majesty.

No wonder Peng Chuan thinks so. After all, he is a famous general of the Blackwater Kingdom. He has fought countless battles in his life and made countless contributions. His contribution to the Blackwater Kingdom is definitely huge. Their emperor has always been quite fond of him before. How could Yi Zhong give up on him completely just because of such a defeat?

Although this failure was indeed a bit tragic, it is impossible for their majesty to be so heartless.

"You still don't believe it?" Wu Fan looked at Peng Chuan and then at Pei Yu. Pei Yu nodded, took a step forward and said to Peng Chuan: "General Peng, I want to tell you some bad news here. I hope you can Be mentally prepared.”

"What's going on?" Peng Chuan suddenly felt panicked.

"According to the news we have received, you and your generals' family members who stayed in the country have been executed by your Majesty. No one was left alive!" Pei Yu looked at Peng Chuan and said seriously.

"This is impossible!" Peng Chuan's face changed drastically, his whole body shook, and then he fainted under the gaze of Wu Fan and Pei Yu.
