"You bastards are so rude and dare to lock me up. Do you know who I am? I want to see Zhao Hui!"
The arrogant shouts made the soldiers holding Murong Chengtai in front of the Commander's Mansion tighten their hands a little harder, causing his face to turn red from the pain. The military academy in front of the door stared at him coldly: "Boy, no matter what you are,
Whoever dares to be arrogant and rude in front of the commander-in-chief's office will behead you immediately as soon as the commander-in-chief gives the order!"
"How dare you!" Murong Chengtai was frightened by the cold gaze of the military academy, but he refused to give in at all and said stiffly.
Xiang Xun came out and saw this scene. After scanning the circle, several sergeants were disarmed as servants. They looked indifferent and focused on Murong Chengtai: "You are Murong Chengtai.
?”
"It's me! Who are you?" Murong Chengtai struggled to himself. The more he struggled, the more painful he became. He gritted his teeth and replied.
"Southwestern aid envoy, Xiang Xun!" Xiang Xun said.
"Where is Zhao Hui? I want to see him!" Murong Chengtai was still arrogant.
Looking at this man coldly, Xiang Xun had a hint of disgust in his eyes. He immediately raised his hand and ordered: "This man is arrogant and rude. If he rushes into the commander's house, if he says one more word, he will be beheaded immediately!"
"Yes!" The surrounding soldiers heard the order and shouted in unison.
Murong Chengtai probably felt the so-called murderous intent. He opened his mouth, but in the end he did not dare to make a sound. However, he opened his eyes and stared at Xiang Xun stubbornly, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Facing Murong Chengtai's gaze, Xiang Xun stepped forward and said coldly: "This is the Commander's Mansion, the place where tens of thousands of troops from Shu are commanded. It's up to you, the royal family, to yell at you for your arrogance today and to insult the Commander.
Your Majesty will not say anything even if you are beheaded and punished!"
Facing Xiang Xun's almost emotionless eyes, Murong Chengtai felt an emotion called "fear" in his heart for the first time: "I..."
Seeing his timidity, Xiang Xun waved his hand and said: "I do not advocate killing without teaching. I think you are here for the first time, so I can avoid death for the time being. However, I would like to warn you that once you join the army, you must abide by military laws and do not
Violation, otherwise, military law will be ruthless and imposed on you, and it will be too late to regret!"
After saying this, Xiang Xun ordered to the left and right: "First give him fifty military sticks, and then teach him the camp rules and regulations!"
"yes!"
In the south wing of Baoji, inside the barracks, Murong Chengtai was lying on a military couch, his pants were completely taken off, his buttocks were beaten to a bloody pulp, and the wounds from the stick almost spread to his waist. There were fifty military sticks, a lot of them.
, showed no mercy with a single blow. If Murong Chengtai had not practiced martial arts since he was a child and was strong and healthy, he would have been beaten to death even if he was a pampered playboy.
Murong Yanchao sent a general to his family, carefully applied medicine to him, and said: "Master, in the army, it is no better than in other places. Military law is not a joke. Just now in front of the commander's mansion, he scared us."
.If you are really killed, we can only choose to die on the battlefield..."

"I don't believe it, they really dare to kill me!" Murong Chengtai responded, still seeming unyielding.
However, when he said this, he didn't feel confident.
"Sir——"
"That's enough, when did you dare to teach me a lesson by being so verbose!" Murong Chengtai couldn't help but said angrily.
The weather was hot, coupled with the trauma on his buttocks, the sweat on Murong Chengtai's forehead was like raindrops, dripping down his dark eyes, nose and cheeks, almost seeping into his eyes. He has never suffered such grievances in his life.
But maybe there is a kind of stubbornness in my bones. Even when I was being punished with the stick, I didn't even make a sound from the beginning to the end.
In the eyes, I don’t know whether it is sweat or tears...
"Sir, does it hurt? Can you please be gentle?"
"Take your medicine!" Murong Chengtai took a deep breath, responded, paused, and asked: "How long will it take for my injury to recover?"
"I'm afraid it won't be possible to get off the ground in two or three days!"
In a rare moment, Murong Chengtai sighed, somewhat unwillingly: "I came to Fengxiang and wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. If I receive this military staff, I will really be in trouble!"
Hearing what he said, the general didn't know what to think. Even though he was like this, he was merciful even if he could save his life. This young man still wanted to go to the battlefield.
"Master, don't be anxious, you will have a chance after you recover from your injuries!" The general could only comfort him like this.
After a while, Murong Chengtai suddenly asked, seemingly puzzled: "Dushuai Zhao and Xiang Shijun, they really don't seem to care about my identity..."
The general was silent. He was a rough man, not good at words, and he didn't know how to answer the young master's doubts. Of course, in his opinion, Murong Yanchao doted on his youngest son too much.
"Do you want me to go and plead guilty to Dushuai Zhao and the envoy?" Murong Chengtai asked again abruptly, in a low voice, seeming a little embarrassed.
...
The iron horse is blown away by the autumn wind.
It is said that this pass stands in the southern suburbs of Baoji and controls the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Although it is still midsummer and there is no desolate autumn wind, the city gate still stubbornly realizes its value and becomes a strong bone across the throat of the Shu army.
.
When the Shu army first arrived this spring, it was more powerful than the Qi army. Zhao Hui was able to defend Chencang with a small army, but Li Tinggui was unable to defeat it with a large army. Even if the Sanguan was located, he did not dare to attack with all his strength.
After returning to Weinan, Li Tinggui decided to go all out to eradicate Sanguan. So far, the more than 15,000 Shu troops stationed under Sanguan City have launched more than 20 attacks with Sanguan, resulting in more than 2,000 direct battle losses.
He died, but Guancheng was still firmly in the hands of the Han army.
After Zhao Hui succeeded Wang Jun to serve as Fengxiang Jiedu, he used Sanguan as the choke point and focused on strengthening the construction of Guancheng for defense. There was no way, the fall of the four states of Qin and Feng made the Han Dynasty's defense in the southwest just like this
Passively, the Shu army can leave the Qinling Mountains at any time and threaten Guanzhong, with its troops pointing directly at the Weihe River City Pass.
The guarding general of Sanguan was named Wang Renfan. He was originally the tooth general of Liu Ci, the governor of the Baoyi Army, and was recommended to guard the pass. Before the Shu army moved, Zhao Hui quickly increased his troops to three thousand and stocked up.
A large amount of food and weapons. Therefore, after several months of consumption, Guancheng still has some strength left.
And Wang Renfan lived up to his trust. With 3,000 soldiers, he faced several times the enemy without losing his position and caused a lot of casualties to the Shu army. Like a rock in the ocean, it always stood firm.
Li Tinggui, the coach of the Shu Army, was particularly annoyed.
The last city battle was ten days ago. As the weather got hotter and hotter, both sides had a tacit understanding to collect and burn the bodies of the soldiers who fell in the pass to prevent the spread of plague.
On Guancheng, a burly general with a dignified temperament stood and looked out, silently thinking in his heart: "With this success in defending the city against enemies, it shouldn't be a problem to be promoted to the third level after the war...
..."
This Han general was naturally Wang Rengan. Looking at the Shu army that had withdrawn from the siege of Guancheng, occupied the road and surrounded the mountains, and established its stronghold in a conservative manner, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Shu army wanted to retreat?
"General, here comes the order from the Commander-in-Chief!"
Soon, after reading the military orders from Zhao Hui, Wang Renfan immediately cheered up and subconsciously leaned forward against the wall. After thinking for a moment, he ordered his subordinates: "Gather all the capable warriors in the pass to Dongguan.
, give me food and wine, and prepare me to attack at any time!"
"yes!"
After several months of perseverance, only half of the Han troops in the city were still able to attack, let alone less than a thousand. Even so, it was difficult to quell Wang Renfan's enthusiasm for success. He was already 36 years old this year, and he was still in his prime.
If you have an opportunity, you must seize it.
In the Shu army camp, the commander also held a military meeting and summoned Chen Cang and the generals from all the Gudao camps.
"Today we have called all the generals here for one thing. Your Majesty has given an order to give up the attack on the Han Dynasty and withdraw the troops back to Xingyuan Mansion!" Li Tinggui sat at the command table and reported the edict from Chengdu in a slightly low voice.
It must not have been an illusion. As soon as he finished speaking, the Shu generals present visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and their sitting postures seemed much more relaxed.
Li Tinggui was also a little helpless and his enthusiasm was waning. Li Tinggui followed Meng Zhixiang, the first lord of Later Shu, since he was a child. He was raised by him and he followed the right person. Therefore, he followed Meng Zhixiang to separate Shu and become independent.
After General Meng Chang succeeded to the throne, he also entrusted people who knew the general's family background with great importance.
Because of this, the attack on Han was ineffective, and Li Tinggui felt that he had betrayed Meng Chang's trust. Speaking of which, this was Meng Shu's second Northern Expedition. Although Zhang Qianzhao was defeated in the previous one, he at least captured the four states of Qin and Feng.
But this time, he led his troops to the north, relying on the four states of Qin and Feng, but he failed to conquer a single city and failed to gain an inch. He only wasted the soldiers' money and food. How can he do it in his heart? How should Chengdu's civil and military officials treat him...
"General He, you have to retreat only to worry about the pursuit of the Han army. I will leave this matter to you!" Li Tinggui looked at the Jin minister He Jianjian who had surrendered to Shu a few years ago.
He Jianjian was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to disobey the order. He could only respond in a muffled voice: "Yes!"
"The rest of the generals will return to their camps to reorganize their troops and horses. They will break out of the camp tomorrow and slowly retreat southward.
