Reborn as a Farm Girl: Taming Her Vengeful Villain Husband

Chiliarch Yang spat out hatefully, "You don’t have to reason with me here! The battle hasn’t even started, and the commander has already died. Our morale has also decreased by more than half. Let’s see how you can continue this battle!"

Qin Silong regarded Chiliarch Yang with a playful expression, countering, "Do you truly believe this battle can’t proceed without Deputy General Lin? Are you attempting to spread the notion that the war is now unwinnable? Is it your goal to sow fear and shatter our morale right on the battlefield?"

With each accusation, Chiliarch Yang’s tone softened, "I don’t mean that. I’m just reminding you. How are you going to answer to the higher-ups when Deputy General Lin is dead?"

Chiliarch Yang subtly hinted that Qin Silong needed a scapegoat, and he had conveniently found one – himself.

Understanding the insinuation, Qin Silong exposed Chiliarch Yang’s intentions, "Are you suggesting that, with Deputy General Lin’s demise, we need a scapegoat to deflect blame and shield ourselves from repercussions?"

Chiliarch Yang was taken aback, not anticipating Qin Silong’s direct revelation, and the surrounding soldiers shared in the shock.

Qin Silong continued with a hint of excitement, "You imply that Deputy General Lin’s status demands a scapegoat when he falls in battle. However, ordinary soldiers with lower statuses are expendable. Is that the premise?"

Reluctant to acknowledge his intentions, Chiliarch Yang remained silent.
