Xue Wanche suddenly jumped three feet high and roared: "Fart! You traitor, how dare you beat me up? Come on, come on, I will cut you into pieces today to comfort the souls in heaven who were framed by you!"
Bare your teeth and claws to rush upward.
Naturally, some soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his waist, hugged his legs, and tightly controlled him.
Cheng Yaojin yelled angrily: "How presumptuous! You all think that this commander is old and confused? You all stay here honestly, and when the commander of the army investigates and reports, I will handle it in accordance with military law! Those who deserve to be flogged should be chopped.
Beheading is no child's play under military law!"
Although Xue Wanche was a fool, he still respected Cheng Yaojin, and he thought he was justified in this matter. He was not afraid of going to the edge of the sky, so he glared at Wang Wendu, threw away the soldiers who were entangled with him, and sat down under Cheng Yaojin's head.
, silently.
It's just that although the person calmed down, he was secretly angry in his heart. If Cheng Yaojin was unfair, then he would have to kill Wang Wendu, the traitor, at the risk of his own life...
Wang Wendu's face turned a bit paler, and he was frightened.
At that time, thousands of our own troops were on the battlefield, and each of them witnessed the entire battle. Perhaps those soldiers did not know what the general's command meant, and they only knew to listen to the orders. But veterans like Cheng Yaojin, who had been fighting all their lives,
Shuai only needed to know a little bit to know what was going on in his heart when he gave up on his original strategy and did not immediately follow up and complete the task of attacking the Goguryeo army's phalanx and receiving Xue Wanche's armored cavalry.
Although he thought that Cheng Yaojin would not directly deal with him under military law, he still felt guilty. After all, his behavior was a serious crime!
Looking at Xue Wanche again, I couldn't help but secretly regret it.
Who would have thought that hundreds of cavalrymen, trapped in the enemy formation of tens of thousands of people, could actually be charged all the way out by him?
Unbelievable!
The Goguryeo army was really a mob. With so many people, one person could kill Xue Wanche, but in the end, he killed him so much that his morale collapsed and he fled...
Cheng Yaojin paid no attention to anyone, drank gulp of tea and cursed in his heart.
When something like this happens to a general under his command, no matter who is right or wrong, he, the commander-in-chief of an army, cannot escape the blame. It is almost impossible to shirk responsibility.
Although his status no longer requires more meritorious service to improve himself, who would want such a thing to happen, which would weaken the morale of the army and face the orders of His Majesty Li Er?
What a really bad luck...
Not long after, all the military commanders who went to investigate returned.
"Commander General, we were ordered to investigate. The facts are almost the same as what General Xue said. After General Wang arrived at Daque Valley, he disobeyed military orders and failed to attack the enemy's formation in time, causing General Xue's troops to be deeply trapped by the enemy.
The camp suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the enemy army was disorganized and was defeated by the charge led by General Xue. Thousands of the enemy were killed, and the remaining troops fled back to Daque Valley from the original route, which had thwarted the enemy's intention to support Anshi City."
This matter is very clear, and there is almost no need to go to the battlefield to see it. The entire story can be deduced based on the confessions of the soldiers in the center.
Cheng Yaojin's face was as black as iron. He stood up suddenly, glared at Wang Wendu fiercely, and cursed: "You bastard! You are such a wolf-hearted person, so shameless! What else do you have to say?"
The other generals and commanders in the tent also glared at Wang Wendu angrily.
The most important thing in the army is the feeling of honor.
It is true that where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be competition for interests, but in the midst of a war, few people will put personal interests first. There are enemies in front of you, and all you can trust is the glory behind you.
, if there is no robe to protect me, I am afraid that I will die in the battle if I meet him.
It is normal to fight overtly and covertly in private, but once on the battlefield, you must put aside your past grudges and cooperate wholeheartedly. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be weakened, and how can you win the battle?
What's more, Wang Wendu usually had no grudges against Xue Wanche. These actions were simply jealous of Xue Wanche's achievements and wanted to frame him into being trapped in the enemy's camp and die in battle, so that no one would compete with him for the merits in the future.
This kind of behavior is regarded as extremely bad behavior in the military, and everyone despises it!
Wang Wendu knew that no matter how much he argued at this time, it would be useless. He could only pale his face, endure the severe pain in his hands, and said in a cold sweat: "The general has nothing to say, but I ask your Majesty in front of you, whether it is life or death, absolutely nothing."
Complain!”
Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "Mother! You are a thief, are you saying that I have slandered you?"
Wang Wendu shook his head and said: "The general didn't say anything, and he doesn't know how to say anything. I just ask the commander-in-chief to hand over the general to your majesty, and there will be no resentment in life or death."
Cheng Yaojin was furious.
He naturally understood the meaning of Wang Wendu's repeated request to be sent to His Majesty. Not only did he understand it, but General Zuo Wuwei who was present also understood it.
This person is from the line of the King of Jin, and behind him are the Taiyuan Wang family, Guanlong nobles and other backers. As His Majesty wants the King of Jin to compete for the throne, he may not want to see the King of Jin kill numerous generals in the army like this, so
Spare his death. Even if the army goes out to fight at this moment, it is not necessarily allowed to allow him to perform meritorious service...
"Commander!"
Xue Wanche stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Since his crime is clear and irrefutable, I would like to ask the commander-in-chief to show his head to the public to correct military law!"
Someone next to him also stood up and said angrily: "Wang Wendu violated military orders and framed Pao Ze. Not killing him is not enough to uphold military law, and not killing him is not enough to stabilize the morale of the army!"
"That's right! Such traitors are so heartless that they are simply a disgrace to our military guards. If we don't kill them, where is the justice?"
"Commander, please kill this beast!"
"Follow military law!"
Several generals and commanders in the tent stood up together, the crowd was excited, and they unanimously demanded that Wang Wendu be killed to correct military law.
Wang Wendu was trembling all over on the soft cushion. He didn't know whether it was from pain or fear. He said loudly: "Commander, think twice! The last general is General Zuo Wuwei. Life and death can only be decided by Your Majesty. The commander has no right to kill me!"
He was really scared. Although he had previously believed that Cheng Yaojin would not openly break with the King of Jin, but the crowd was so excited in front of him, what if Cheng Yaojin could not withstand the pressure and had to chop him down?
Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and pondered undecided.
He was indeed unwilling to break up with the King of Jin like this. After all, His Majesty was in his prime, and the battle for the throne could not be decided in a year or two. Although the Crown Prince had the upper hand at the moment, everyone knew that His Majesty preferred the King of Jin, and who would own the throne?
There are still huge variables...
When Xue Wanche saw Cheng Yaojin's undecided expression, he became furious.
Naturally, he did not have the intelligence to figure out Cheng Yaojin's thoughts, but he was not a fool either. Since Wang Wendu kept asking for him to be handed over to His Majesty, he must have a way to escape.
So many Paoze brothers were killed by Wang Wendu. If they were allowed to live, how would they explain to the dead brothers?
He immediately roared angrily: "The general doesn't care about military law. He only knows how to pay debts and kill people to pay for their lives. This thief has framed so many people who died in the enemy's battle. If his heads are not sacrificed to commemorate the spirits of those people in heaven,
I, Xue Wanche, am a useless person!"
As soon as he turned around, he pulled out the horizontal sword from the waist of a captain behind him, took a big step, and swung the horizontal sword towards Wang Wendu on the ground.
The nearby captain hurriedly hugged Xue Wanche, but his attack was sudden. After all, everyone was a step slower, and the knife still hit Wang Wendu's leg hard.
"ah!"
Wang Wendu screamed, rolled on the soft cushion, and rolled behind Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and snatched the horizontal knife from Xue Wanche's hand, and shouted angrily: "You stupid idiot, are you crazy? This thief will be punished by military law. If you kill him, you will also be punished by death!"
Xue Wanche struggled and roared, cursing: "Don't fart! The military law committed by this dog thief is very clear. At this time, he should withdraw from the camp and show his head to the public, but the commander is hesitant. Where is the justice? Since the commander does not want to kill him,
Then let the commander-in-chief kill him, just chop off the thief’s head, kill him or chop him into pieces, whatever the commander-in-chief does!”
Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he threw the horizontal knife to the ground with a "choking" sound.
Immediately, Cheng Yaojin felt that something was wrong. Although a few captains still tightly controlled Xue Wanche, the others did not say a word and just stood there silently.
He then understood that Wang Wendu could not survive without killing him...
Military law is like a mountain. If you are unable to strictly enforce the law in the military, it will inevitably affect the morale of the military. If Wang Wendu's crazy behavior cannot be brought to justice, how can there be fairness? Military law will soon be reduced to a decoration.
No matter how prestigious and qualified he is, if he cannot treat everyone equally, who will be convinced?
It seems that he can only follow His Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly from now on, but tying his family, family, young and old to the Crown Prince's chariot is very inconsistent with his character and plans...
