Chapter 748: The generals pleaded
Wu Sheng retreated, and soon converged with the main force of Leng Feng's third division, and then the army retreated all the way, and finally Yang Chendong gathered his army. At this time, Ye La and his deputy, Liu Dai, who had been resting in the carriage, also recovered their spirits, and as soon as they returned to the barracks, the two knelt down in front of the sixth young master's tent and did not get up for a long time.
Yang Chendong listened carefully to Wu Sheng's report, learned some details on the battlefield, and learned about the bravery of the Jurchen cavalry.
"Sixth Young Master, these Jurchen cavalry are really good, the results they have achieved, if we cold front soldiers don't use muskets, I'm afraid that's it, they're really good, so you see..."
Wu Sheng stumbled a little and said, attracting Yang Chendong's head, "What do you want to say?" ”
Being looked at by Yang Chendong, Wu Sheng sighed in his heart. Although he is now the commander of the Third Division, a senior cadre in the absolute army, and he is also very proud in his heart, in front of Yang Chendong, he is still just a primary school student.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Chendong only needs one sentence to make him have nothing and nothing. Therefore, when facing Yang Chendong, Wu Sheng did not dare to have a little arrogance and pride.
Seeing that Wu Sheng stopped talking, Yang Chendong snorted and said, "You want to intercede for them, right?" ”
"Yes, I want to intercede for them." At this point, Wu Sheng stood up straight, raised his head as much as he could, and said.
"Okay, then you can go out and kneel together." This time, Yang Chendong didn't raise his head, and said this very casually.
As soon as the words came out, Wu Sheng was also stunned, he didn't seem to hear clearly, and his face was puzzled. Until Yang Er, who was on the side, raised his voice, "Don't you want to intercede for them?" Then go out and beg on your knees, it's not clear? ”
"Oh, I see." Wu Sheng suddenly said with a sense of enlightenment, and did not forget to salute a standard military salute when leaving, and then went out of the big tent and knelt outside.
"Okay, get smarter." There was no one else in the tent, so Yang Chendong raised his head and glanced at Yang Er. The other party actually understood the meaning of his words. It seems that Yang Er, who follows him, is no longer a martial artist, and has learned to use wisdom.
"Hey, hey." Being praised by Yang Chendong, Yang Er showed an embarrassed smile, and then slapped him with a sycophant, "Follow the young master every day, even a stone will be civilized." ”
"Haha, that's a good analogy." Yang Chendong laughed heartily. He was also thinking about what to do with Yela. It is said that if he disobeys the military order, he must be severely punished, at least demoted, or at worst, he will be discharged from active duty, and even punished for crimes. But he won the battle, and he also showed his fierce side. There are not many such generals, even among the mercenaries, so it is a big loss to not let him lead the troops.
If you are guilty, you must be punished, otherwise, if other officers do the same, it will not be a mess. For a while, Yang Chendong was not good, and it was not open to release water.
At this time, Wu Sheng stood up and gave him a hint to solve the problem, so that he let the other party go out and kneel and plead. In this way, the law does not blame the public, and he has a step to go down. The most important thing is that after this incident, it can also make the officers below more united, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Outside the big tent, Wu Sheng, who was wearing the rank of colonel and wearing a white cloak, knelt on the ground as soon as he came out, on a par with Yela and Liu Dai. This scene shocked both of them, and the deputy head Liu Dai asked even more puzzled, "Martial Master, didn't you make a meritorious service?" Why kneel here with us? ”
That's also the question that Yela wanted to ask. Wu Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm pleading for you." Although you resisted your orders in this battle, under the circumstances at that time, if I had led the army, I am afraid that you would have made the same choice. ”
One sentence intercedes for you, and one sentence I will make the same choice. Hearing it in the ears of Yela and Liu Dai, the two of them couldn't help but burst into tears. They were crying and excited as if they had found a soulmate, like they had found a family member who understood what they were doing best.
Wu Sheng's actions also made Yela and Liu Dai feel warm. Although it is true that they were prisoners before, and they also have some other thoughts in their hearts, but Wu Sheng's move completely suppressed the little caution they had in their hearts, and let them know what the warmth of home looks like.
And not long after Wu Sheng knelt on the ground, Chen Bo, the political commissar of the Third Division, came. Seeing the scene in front of him, after only a little contemplation, he also threw himself on his knees. I didn't say much, but the intention of intercession was already very obvious.
Following Chen Bo, Chang Chunyang, the third commander of Leng Feng's third division, and Chaifeng, the commander of the first reinforced cavalry regiment, also rushed over and knelt down in front of the big tent together. Their appearance formed a scene, and became a major event that all the soldiers in the army could see and discuss.
The commander of the Tatar cavalry regiment, Su He, naturally quickly learned about this matter. Gu Shan, the company commander who came to report, saw Su He's frowning appearance and said loudly: "Regiment commander, my subordinates think that you should also go and kneel and intercede for the commander and deputy commander of the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment. ”
"Why?" Su Shan asked puzzled.
"Commander, you think, everyone has gone, if you don't go, wouldn't it seem like a special case? This will be crowded. We're also new to the road, so it's better not to do things that offend people like this. Gu Shan said anxiously. He couldn't understand it, when it came to planning on the battlefield, Su He's ability was indeed not bad, which even the sixth young master recognized, otherwise, he would not have become the commander of the Tatar cavalry regiment.
But when it comes to human exchanges, this Su He is a little worse. As a subordinate, Gu Shan saw this, and he thought that his own reminder was necessary.
"Everybody goes, am I going to go? I'm not familiar with Yela and Liu Dai, let alone have any personal relationships. Besides, this time they are guilty of disobeying military orders, why should I intercede for them, isn't this supporting the disobedience of the people below? I'm not going. Shaking his head very firmly, Su He added: "Let's go, let's go down to see the army when we have time, and urge them to hurry up training."
Su He's stubbornness made Gu Shan shake his head, but he was the regiment commander, and even if he made a decision, how could he question it at will as a small company commander directly under him. With a long sigh, he followed the regiment commander towards the temporary training ground.
Outside Yang Chendong's big tent, except for Su He, the commander of the Tatar cavalry, other officers above the regiment rushed over and pleaded for Yela and Liu Dai together. This kind of formation naturally moved and thanked the two Jurchen generals.
In the tent, Yang Er walked in and whispered in Yang Chendong's ear, "Young Master, the head of the Su He regiment went to the training ground to supervise the training of the soldiers below." ”
"Well, well done." Yang Chendong nodded with satisfaction. For Su He did not come to intercede, this was originally expected by him. Even if he didn't have any friendship, he thought that Yela and Liu Dai were wrong, so why did he intercede for them? Isn't this to embarrass the Sixth Young Master?
"Hehe, I'll just say that Su He is sensible." With a smile on his face, Yang Chendong looked at Yang Er, who was standing on the side with an embarrassed expression.
Just now, Yang Er said that he was afraid that all the officers above the regiment level would come forward to intercede. Yang Chendong did give a negative result, he asserted that others might be, but Su He would not. For this reason, the two also made a bet, betting that whoever loses will do 500 push-ups.
Although Yang Er didn't dare to let Yang Chendong fulfill his promise even if he won, he won once, which was enough to comfort his soul. Unexpectedly, he still lost the gamble.
Seeing Yang Chendong's gaze staring at him, Yang Er had no choice but to honestly prop his hands on the ground and begin to complete the bet. Yang Chendong continued to close his eyes and recuperate, forgetting the officers kneeling on the ground outside. Even if it is a request for mercy, then there must be a pleading appearance.
Yang Er finished the five hundred push-ups, and it was about to get dark, so the master and servant walked out of the camp without hurrying, and then they didn't look at the people who knelt outside, and rushed straight to the place where they were eating.
Yang Chendong ignored everyone, and Ye La, whose legs were already kneeling very sore, said with a bitter expression on his face: "Several, I and Deputy Commander Liu understand your intentions, but you better go back, what is the crime, our brothers are here to resist, it was originally me who resisted the military order, and there should be any punishment." ”
"yes, you better go back, it's time for dinner." Deputy head Liu Dai also said out loud.
For the words of the two, Wu Sheng and the others didn't seem to hear them, and they were still kneeling there, raising their heads, their eyes resolute and resolute. They seem to have recognized their actions from the moment they knelt down, and they won't get up without results.
Looking at this scene, Yela and Liu Dai were very excited in their hearts, and at the same time, they were constantly reflecting in their hearts, if there is still a chance, they must perform better in the future.
Yang Chendong and Yang Er came back after dinner, but they still didn't look at these kneeling people, but returned to the big tent. In this way, time passed little by little, until it was completely dark, and when it was time to rest and sleep, all the barracks entered the tent to rest under the supervision of the battalion-level officer, and outside the main tent, several regiment commanders still knelt on the ground, did not get up, and did not give any order to get up.
The lights-out signal sounded throughout the barracks, except for the temporary health team, there were candles, and the wounded could not sleep because of the pain, and the whole barracks entered a state of silence. And at this time, there was finally movement in the main tent, and Yang Er walked out. "Come in, young master wants to see you."
