Chapter 1328: Ask for an Explanation

"Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng, I originally wanted you to show your face in front of the emperor, but you lost all your face, and you lost all the face of the Sixth Army!" Pan Nian hurried to Qingping Town, and without rushing into the town, he scolded Jiang Sheng, the commander of the three divisions.

"All the generals, the last general...... Guilty, disgraced to you! Jiang Sheng was scolded in public, and his face couldn't hold back, but there was really no way to explain the battle like this, so he blushed and pleaded for sin.

"It's not just a shame, think about whether your life can be saved!" Pan Nian pointed his hand at his heart, hating the authenticity.

"Could it be that Your Majesty has been informed of this?" Jiang Sheng said with a pang in his heart.

"Your Majesty learned that the baggage was robbed, and Qin ordered to pull out these two cottages, how dare you not report it!" Pan Nian said angrily.

"Du Tong, the last general has no other intentions, just ask Du Tong to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty!" Jiang Sheng's face stiffened when he heard this, and then he understood that the matter could not be covered up, so he could only plead.

"Your Majesty has ordered the capture of Xiangyang several times, but we have made no progress. This time I came to ask for the guilt, Zhang Dutong of the Eighth Army has been dismissed because of the loss of Fancheng, I am afraid it will be my turn this time! Pan Nian saw that he couldn't see the situation clearly, and said with a wry smile.

"Although Zhang Dushuai was dismissed from the command of the Eighth Army, he joined the military aircraft of the Counselor of the Governor's Office, wasn't he promoted?" Jiang Sheng said as he led him towards the town.

"Bastard, to put it nicely, is a counselor military aircraft, but it is really to take it away from his post and entrust him with a false position. You can't see through this, and I'm afraid you don't know how to die. Pan Nian glared at him, hating iron and not steel.

"The last general will ask His Majesty for his guilt, and he will never be involved!" Jiang Sheng was stunned for a while and said.

"You are a subordinate of the general, and if you make a mistake, how can I be alone. You quickly recall Chen Feng and tell you the details to see if there is still room for maneuver. Pan Nian looked at his pitiful appearance and sighed.

"Xie Dutong, the end will definitely live up to Dutong!" Jiang Sheng also understands people, knowing that Du Tong will already try to excuse himself, and said with a smile.

"Alas, remember to be loyal to Your Majesty, not to the General." Pan Nian was useful in his heart, but he still taught with a calm face, "In addition, the injured soldiers should be comforted, and those who participated in the battle should also be advised, don't let them say anything that shouldn't be said, and the corpses of the dead soldiers should be fully collected and properly disposed of, so as not to mess up the morale of the army." If such a thing happens, His Majesty will definitely send an envoy to inquire about it, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Yes, the last general will keep it in mind and will do so, and will not shut up those who should shut up." Jiang Sheng nodded and obeyed.

After welcoming Pan Nian into the tent, Jiang Sheng immediately ordered the second regiment left in the town to change the defeated third regiment to the town, and ordered the commander Chen Fengsu to come to meet him. The group of people discussed in the tent until very late, and after Chen Feng came out and returned to the camp, he convened the big and small officials in the regiment to discuss the matter, explained the reason, and unified their voices, and asked them to restrain their subordinates after they went back, and they were not allowed to talk nonsense......

On the morning of the next day, Pan Nian convened a division of generals to discuss the capture of the two villages. Now a day has passed since the time he promised His Majesty, and if he still can't take it tomorrow at noon, I'm afraid he will be the chicken that was used to hack the monkey. However, after discussing for a long time, they still did not come up with a proper solution, and some people thought that it was difficult to approach the mountain during the day, and they were afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of yesterday; Others thought that the view of attacking the mountain at night was not good, the artillery could not aim at the target, and without the cover of artillery fire, it was difficult for the infantry to break through the fortress.

While the crowd was arguing, someone came in to report that someone had come to the camp. Pan Nian looked at the timid generals and sighed secretly, what should come will come back, and he can't hide from it, so he beckoned everyone to go out of the tent to greet him.

"Your Majesty, the last general is late, please punish Your Majesty!" When Pan Nian came to the gate of the village, he saw the little emperor standing outside the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute in shock.

"The last general will wait to see Your Majesty!" Seeing this, all the generals hurriedly saluted together, but their faces were not very good, especially Jiang Sheng was even more ugly.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu raised his hand in return and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is coming from afar, please rest in the tent first!" Pan Nian didn't expect His Majesty to come in person, but he could only ask for it at the moment.

"No need, take me to see the casualties!" Zhao Yu refused.

"Yes!" Pan Nian responded, gave Chen Feng another look, and then led His Majesty and his party into the city.

The three regiments changed their guards to the town yesterday, built coffins overnight, buried the bodies of the dead soldiers, and arranged a mourning hall to be buried in the afternoon. The first thing Zhao Yu saw when he came to the station was a coffin that had not had time to be painted, and the white stubble was still exposed, and the soldiers guarding the spirit stood solemnly on both sides, and suppressed sobs were heard from time to time.

After watching His Majesty offer incense, everyone turned around the coffin with sad faces, comforted the soldiers who were guarding the spirits, and then turned to the medical battalion to visit the wounded soldiers, sent some wound medicine, and told the doctors to be careful to heal. Only then did he turn back to the big tent, and the subsequent generals looked at His Majesty who was sinking like water, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Thirty-one people were killed and sixty-seven were wounded, who will explain to me why there are so many casualties!" After sitting down, Zhao Yu glanced at the generals of the first division standing on both sides and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the defeat in this battle is due to the unfavorable scheduling of the last general, please punish Your Majesty!" Jiang Sheng, the commander of the first division, knew that he couldn't hide from it, so he came out of the line.

"Jiang Sheng, what you said is so light! A sentence of unfavorable scheduling has taken more than 30 lives, and more than 10 people will be disabled because of this, I want to ask them for an explanation! Zhao Yu patted the case and shouted.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, after the last general was ordered to capture the two villages of Laifengling and Bazhang Mountain, he ordered the three regiments stationed nearby to pull out the enemy village. Due to the tight time and poor preparation, the attack was met with stubborn resistance from enemy troops. The enemy village is arranged on the top of the mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain road is rugged and narrow, it is difficult to approach, the soldiers of the three regiments are not afraid of sacrifice, and they fight hard for a day, but they still fail to break the village, and pay heavy casualties. Jiang Sheng couldn't help but panic in his heart under His Majesty's stern questioning, and stammered to explain.

"Are you perfunctory?"

"The last general will not dare to ......" His Majesty's voice was not high, but in Jiang Sheng's ears, he felt a cold to the bone, and he replied in fear.

"Commander Chen, you are the first-line commander in this battle, and you will tell the truth from the beginning and end of the battle!" Zhao Yu no longer paid attention to Jiang Sheng, and pointed to Chen Fengdao, who was standing behind the people.

"Yes!" Chen Feng was already a ghost in his heart, and he was panicked when he learned that His Majesty was coming, and after seeing the car, he felt that Long Wei was trembling and trembling, and at this time, he was directly named by His Majesty, and his body trembled and replied instinctively.

"Your Majesty, on July 6, our unit received an order from the military headquarters to pull out the enemy troops to the two camps of Fengling and Bazhang Mountain. Due to the urgency of time, the last general immediately summoned the commanders of the various ministries to convey the orders of the military headquarters. Inform everyone that this pull-out of the village is His Majesty's personal edict, and everything from the governor's mansion to the army and division attaches great importance to it. When everyone heard that it was His Majesty's edict, they were all invigorated and their morale was greatly boosted, and they all expressed that they would live up to His Majesty's trust and sacrifice at ...... cost" Chen Feng dragged his stiff legs to the front of the sand table and said.

"I'm not listening to your nonsense, pick up the point!" Zhao Hao frowned and interrupted his clichés and flattering words.

"Yes!" Chen Feng was like an inertia, peeking at the unification and control around him, they all didn't squint, they didn't even look at themselves, and of course there was no way to get the slightest hint from it. His Majesty obviously did not like to listen to the rhetoric they had prepared in advance, which also disrupted their arrangements, but for now he could only tell the truth.

"At the end of the day, the general discussed the battle plan with his colleagues, and decided to attack the enemy village of Bazhang Mountain first by means of a night attack, with the first battalion of our department as the main attack, the second battalion as the reserve, and the third battalion as the support. Then the regimental commander and the military commander of the main attack battalion went to survey the terrain and at the same time issued a mobilization order to prepare for battle. The main attacking force set out at the same time, arrived at the predetermined attack position at the same time, and the artillery completed the pre-battle preparations at the time of the day, and then began the shelling. After the artillery fire was ready to complete two rounds of fire, the infantry began to charge at the enemy village. ”

"The battalion that served as the vanguard was blocked at the mountainside, where the mountain road was extremely narrow, and there were only more than a foot long. The enemy had a small village on it, and when they found out, they quickly moved their troops and blocked them with bows and crossbows, and our army was difficult to carry out due to the terrain restrictions, so that several attacks failed, and suffered heavy casualties......"

"After the successive defeats of the first attack, the second, third and fourth battalions of the first battalion all went into battle one after another in order to attack in turn, the soldiers were not afraid of sacrifice, and the officers took the lead in the charge, but in the end, due to the limitation of the terrain, the battle was still difficult for our army to break through until dawn. Enemy reinforcements had arrived, and the general could only order a temporary withdrawal from the battle. ”

"I don't know a few things yet, and I need you to explain!" Zhao Yu listened, although what he said skipped the key points and understated the details of the battle, he could understand the general process, and he muttered for a while.

"Your Majesty, please ask, the last general will know everything!" Seeing that His Majesty was not angry again, Chen Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and saluted.

"I ask you, how long have you been stationed here?"

"Your Majesty, since the end of May, the marching governor's office moved to Yicheng, and the last general has been ordered to guard Qingping Town and prevent the enemy from crossing the river to invade Yicheng." Chen Feng was a little puzzled, how His Majesty asked about something he didn't want to do with the battle, but he also said truthfully.

"In this way, you have been stationed here for more than a month, and you are no more than five miles away from the enemy in front of you, and you are confronting each other, haven't you reconnoitred the surrounding area?"

"Your Majesty, the last general was ordered to guard Qingping Town, and he did not receive orders to attack and similar orders, so he only made a rough survey of the surrounding terrain and drew a sketch map." Chen Feng was even more puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what His Majesty was asking for a while.

"Jiang is in control, but what he says is the truth?" Zhao Yu turned his face and asked Jiang Shengdao.

"Your Majesty is indeed like this, after the last general was stationed here, he ordered him to build a fortress and build a fortress, closely monitor the enemy on the opposite side, and not leave the village without authorization, so as not to be attacked by the enemy and cause losses." Jiang Sheng replied.

"Well, I see!" Zhao Yu nodded and said......
