After Yu Wenlong was defeated outside Jingyao Gate, he retreated and stationed here, living next to Zuo Yiwei. While resting and reorganizing the army, he was responsible for guarding the warehouse.
At that time, Yu Wenshu served as the general of Zuo Yiwei. Since then, Zuo Yiwei and the Yuwen family had a deep dispute. The first step for the children of the Yuwen family to join the army was to join Zuo Yiwei...
When Master Sun Ren came outside the Chinese army's tent, he heard roars inside the tent.
When the guards at the door saw Master Sun Ren, one of them hurriedly came over and whispered: "Where have you been?"
Master Sun Ren said: "Two county princes' palaces caught fire, and two county princes were assassinated. Naturally, we have to rush to Yanshoufang to report such major events. Otherwise, the military situation will be delayed. Who among us can afford to suffer? That is the defense area I am responsible for...
Who is the general angry with?"
The guard obviously had a good relationship with him and complained in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Your boss is General Yuwen. You didn't come back to report to him immediately. Instead, you went directly to Yanshoufang... You were there during the battle in the north of the city.
The garrison in the city failed to catch up, so we don’t know how disastrous the defeat was in that battle. Now the Yuwen family and the Changsun family are almost at loggerheads. What you did has made the general very angry, so please wish yourself good luck."
Master Sun Ren suddenly realized that it turned out that he was angry that he had jumped to the next level to report...
The two county princes' palaces are located in Qunxianfang within Jinguangmen, which is within the scope of Yuwenlong's martial law. Logically speaking, they should report to Yuwenlong first. However, Changsun Wuji had already issued a strict order, and every move in Chang'an City must be reported to Yanshou as soon as possible.
Before, Yuwenlong was stationed in the city, and Sun Renshi reported to Yuwenlong, and then Yuwenlong reported to Changsun Wuji. But now Sun Renshi is stationed outside the city, reorganizing his troops and guarding the warehouse near Yushitan, going back and forth for nearly an hour.
If Sun Renshi went out of the city to report to Yu Wenlong, and then Yu Wenlong entered the city to report to Chang Sun Wuji, it would be dawn. With Chang Sun Wuji's strictness, how could he allow such a delay in the military situation? Punishment is certain.
Yuwen Longgang suffered a defeat, which caused heavy losses to the Yuwen family's "Woye Town" private army. Regardless of whether Changsun Wuji was gloating about the misfortune or not, it was necessary to comfort him on the surface. In this way, Sun Renshi would still have to be blamed for his mistakes.
Yu Wenlong was angry that he had jumped to the next level and reported it to the police. He whipped him and dismissed him for investigation. After all, Zuo Yi's guard army was lax in discipline. He followed the example and followed the example. He never really acted in accordance with the military discipline. Besides, he was related to the Yuwen family to some extent, so it wouldn't be too much.
serious.
But if he were punished by Changsun Wuji, his little arms and legs would probably be destroyed in an instant...
Whichever is the lesser of two evils.
Master Sun Ren pushed open the tent door and stepped inside. After entering the tent, without raising his head, he knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The last general, Master Sun Ren, has a military report..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of wind in his ears. He subconsciously tilted his head, but still did not avoid it. A hard object flew through the air and focused on the left side of his forehead. With a "bang" sound, Sun Renshi's head was stunned.
, and after taking a closer look, he discovered that it was actually a copper paperweight.
Then, there was heat flowing down his forehead, his eyes became blood red, and his vision was blurred.
"Mother! Do you still know whose soldier you are?"
Yu Wenlong was so furious that he smashed Sun Renshi's head with a paperweight, causing blood to flow. Still not satisfied, he limped forward and kicked Sun Renshi on the shoulder, knocking him backwards.
Master Sun Ren did not dare to resist, so he got up from the ground instead. He endured the pain on his forehead and did not even dare to wipe the blood flowing down. He still knelt down on one knee and said, "General, I realize my mistake. Please calm down."
"Calm down?"
Yu Wenlong was so irritable that he found a whip from the side and whipped it out one after another without thinking. While whipping, he cursed: "Mother, you are eating the inside and outside. I am your boss. If there is a military situation in the city, I will not do it."
Come back first to report, but go to Yanshoufang instead! Do you think that just by flattering a cat and dog like you, you can get into the eyes of Changsun Wuji and rise to prominence?"
"I'll beat you to death today and let you know what happens to a leader without authority!"
Although he was ruthless, he was old after all. He was injured when he was defeated by Youtun Guards in the north of Chang'an City. He was out of breath after being whipped for more than ten times. A group of lieutenants and lieutenants outside the tent heard the movement and ran away.
He came in to plead with Master Sun Ren before giving up.
However, his anger was still lingering and he ordered: "Tear off this rip-off thing and hang it on the flagpole so that the whole army can take a good look at it as a warning!"
The crowd did not dare to persuade him any more and hurriedly dragged Sun Renshi out of the tent. Several school captains said "I'm sorry" and took off Sun Renshi's armor, but left the middle coat inside intact. They tied up the rope and tied it to the tent.
On a flagpole outside the door.
At this time, drizzle was falling, and the rainwater wetted the locks of hair. The blood from the wound on his forehead gushed out and was washed down by the rain. Half of his face was miserable, and the clothes on his body were stained red with blood.
Soldiers from nearby camps came out to watch, pointing, and whispering.
Master Sun Ren closed his eyes tightly, biting the roots tightly, dying of shame and anger.
Even being beheaded is far more humiliating than being stripped off and tied to a flagpole for public display...
Inside the camp, several lieutenants were still exhorting each other.
"General, calm down. Although Master Sun Ren made a mistake this time, he can just be whipped. Why hang him on a flagpole to show the public such humiliation?"
"Master Sun Ren was in the city at that time. An unexpected situation occurred and he had no time to leave the city to report to the general. Therefore, he reported to Yanshoufang first. It was considered a matter of urgency and was not disrespectful to the general."
…
Sun Renshi has always been very popular, and everyone also clearly reported that the reason why Sun Renshi reported to Changsun Wuji first was to prevent Yu Wenlong from taking the blame for "the two princes were assassinated due to poor protection", so they all spoke out to persuade him.
Yu Wenlong was still angry and said angrily: "The second son relied on the power of my Yuwen family to join the army. Otherwise, why would he be promoted to captain at a young age? However, the second son is alone and has no worries, so
He lacks awe in his heart and cannot be reused. In a few days, he will be removed from his position as a school captain and let him go as he pleases."
He suffered a new defeat and his prestige plummeted. If he could not be strict with Sun Renshi and punish him severely, how could he maintain his dignity?
Seeing how stubborn he was, everyone didn't dare to say anything anymore. They could only sigh for Master Sun Ren from the bottom of their hearts. Such an outstanding young man might never have the chance to be promoted to the next level from now on. The Guanlong family members were all in the same spirit, and they were suppressed and abandoned by the Yuwen family.
How can other families reuse him? As a member of the Yuwen family, he cannot seek refuge with the East Palace.
It can be said that the future is ruined...
In the evening, several lieutenants checked Yu Wenlong's tone and saw that his anger had subsided, so they untied Sun Renshi and lowered him from the flagpole.
A lieutenant general who was familiar with him patted Sun Renshi on the shoulder and sighed: "The general is really angry this time, and there is nothing we can do about it."
He and several people next to him shook their heads and left.
If Sun Renshi was still a member of the Yuwen family, even if he was punished and demoted for a while, everyone would still maintain the good relationship in the past. After all, he is a very capable young man, and he may not be able to be in a high position in time. But now with what Yu Wenlong said
Those words doomed Master Sun Ren to have no future in the army, so why bother trying to build a relationship with someone with false feelings?
To achieve this step is to be considered as the most benevolent and righteous person.
Master Sun Ren nodded silently, waited until everyone had gone away, then returned to his tent, took off his wet middle coat, took water to wipe his body, found some wound medicine and simply treated the wounds on his body, and then changed
I bought a set of dry clothes and nestled on the bed with them.
It wasn't until midnight that he got up from the bed, took out a set of clean clothes and put them on. He took his waist badge, seal and other items with him, walked out of the tent with his sword in hand, and found a war horse.
With the seal of his belt, he left the military camp all the way and ran westward along the Cao River to Kunming Pond. Then he turned north from the north bank of Kunming Pond, bypassed the barracks near the far gate, made a big circle, and headed straight to Guanghua Gate without stopping.
Outside, he was stopped by patrolling Youtun guards.
Sun Renshi cupped his hands on horseback and said, "I am Sun Renshi, the captain of Zuoyi Guards School. I have urgent military information to report to the Duke of Yue. I would like to ask you all to report it."
The scouts of the Youtun Guard did not dare to be adept, so they ordered Sun Renshi to disarm and escorted him across the Yong'an Canal to the camp outside Xuanwu Gate. At the same time, he sent someone to pass the message upward. By the time Sun Renshi arrived at the camp, Wang Fangyi, wearing a full armor, had already come out to greet him.
Sun Renshi dismounted, looked at each other with Wang Fangyi, clasped his fists and said: "It turns out to be General Wang. He has great fame and extraordinary achievements in the battle at Yamato Gate. I have admired him for a long time."
Wang Fangyi's face was expressionless: "The commander-in-chief has already met you at the camp. Come with me."
