Chapter 670: Scars

ghness, I have a question."Zhao Xuanji bowed respectfully, looked at Zhao Heshan and asked: “Since the Long family colluded with the rebels, why was there evidence left behind in their home for such a...Chapter 670 Scars

This question caused Su Pingbei's face to change slightly.

And Su Zhetong, who had always been silent, also frowned, a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

To be honest, Su Pingbei's command throughout the entire campaign was quite commendable, especially considering it was his first time commanding a medium-sized battle of this scale. He performed very well.

The entire campaign wasn't without its problems for Su Pingbei.

The biggest mistake was provoking a decisive battle with the Eastern Isles right before the plains of Fuhushan, in a bid to end the war quickly.

This resulted in our military strategy being exposed, allowing the Eastern Japan army to counter our plan and encircle Su Pingbei's central army. As a result, other flanks had to abandon their original strategic objectives and retreat for defense.

This backfired, completely ruining the previous entire strategy. It shifted from scheming against the Eastern Isles to saving the central army.

Although nothing major happened in the end, my army still suffered heavy losses, and Su Pingbei himself was seriously injured.

Although the final result was good, if someone were to single out this event and criticize it, it would indeed be Su Pingbei's command that led to the military setback.

And this matter, under the premise of winning, at worst it's Su Pingbei as the commander making a mistake. People are bound to make mistakes, as long as they rectify them in time.

To put it simply, it was a grave strategic blunder that resulted in the loss of thousands of soldiers due to excessive ambition and reckless action.

Amidst the storm, Su Pingbei could feel the gazes of everyone, including his father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all converging upon him.

At this moment, only he could bear this pressure, and no one else could speak for him.

Otherwise, they would be defeated this time.

Suping took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Shangguan Zhao who wore a smug smile. He said calmly: "Yes, I admit that the battle in Fuhushan Plain was a major loss due to my mistakes."

As soon as these words were uttered, both the military and civilian officials were in an uproar.

No one expected Su Pingbei to admit it so readily.

This is just like knowing that Shangguan Zhao was bringing a burning brazier in front of him, but Su Pingbei still stepped into it with one foot.

Shangguan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: "Since you admit that your mistake caused the loss, then do you plead guilty!"

Saying that, Shangguan Zhao let out a cold smile and said with a hint of malice, "Rest assured, as long as you confess, I will definitely plead for you to the prince and the cabinet, showing leniency and giving you a lighter sentence. After all, you still have a father who is a Grand Prefect, don't you"

This statement essentially erased all of Su Pingbei's accomplishments, attributing everything to the fact that he had a good father.

His heart was filled with malice.

Before Liu Tongbi could chime in, his teeth started to itch again from the previous confrontation with Shangguan Zhao. He thought that Su Pingbei was too young and hadn't seen through Shangguan Zhao's trap. Just as he was about to speak up, Su Pingbei suddenly made a move.

In just three or five moves, he took off all his clothes from the upper body.

The heavy armor landed on the floor of the Taihe Hall with a crisp clang, and as he discarded his long robes and undergarments, all eyes fell upon the youthful, muscular, but scarred torso of a young man.

Above, crisscrossed, scars nearly occupy one-third of this body. Most are fresh wounds layered over old ones, but even the oldest looking wound seems to be from within the last few months.

As can be seen, all these wounds were left over from this battle.uccessfully intercept them, the Liao army's logistics will immediately fall into a perilous situation.So Su Pingbei took the risk and acted.He personally led people to guard here for a full hour, just...
