Wu Xi came to Liu Fuwu to meet him, clasped his fists with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Tong, under the order of Yang Shuai, all soldiers who go out to fight without authorization will be disarmed at the first time, and they will be sent back to the camp on foot by the lower liberation to wait for the fall." 8) Otherwise, you will not be allowed to return to the camp. ”

When Chen Yi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was about to speak, but Liu Fuwu immediately stopped him and said, "Wu Tongzhi, I know everything." This time, the Xuanfeng Army disobeyed General Yang Shuai's order and went to war without authorization, and I, Liu Fuwu, as the commander of the Xuanfeng Army, naturally could not escape the blame, and I was willing to accept the guilt and let Yang Shuai fall, without complaining. ”

Saying that, Liu Fuwu took the lead in turning over and dismounting, throwing down the spear in his hand, removing his armor and armor, and then said: "All the soldiers who go out to fight without permission will put down their weapons, dismount and disarm their armor, and follow me back to the camp to see Yang Shuai and plead guilty, and the rest of the men and horses will be temporarily commanded by the king to return to the camp to listen to the order." ”

Tian Kai also said: "As the commander of the whole road, the last general also has the responsibility, and he is willing to go back to the camp with Liu Tongzhi to see Yang Shuai and ask for guilt." As he spoke, he also got off his horse, took off his armor, and stood with Liu Fuwu.

Chen Yi originally wanted to fight a few words, but seeing that Liu Fuwu and Tian Kai took the lead in dismounting and disarming, they had to dismount and unarmour, and Lin Kefeng and the other soldiers who followed them saw it, and they also dismounted and removed their armor and stood aside.

Wu Xi looked at them, waved his hand, and said, "Take them back to the camp." ”

It turned out that Yang Yan had already received the news that the Xuanfeng Army had gone to battle without authorization in the battalion, and Yang Yan was suddenly shocked and angry, he didn't expect that it was his most trusted Xuanfeng Army who took the lead in disobeying his military orders, and in this way, Manichaeism would strengthen its vigilance, but I was afraid that all the efforts he had made to show weakness some time ago would be in vain. Therefore, Yang Yan immediately ordered Wu Xi to lead Cui Fengjun to stop the Xuan Feng Army, and bring the people who fought without permission back to the camp and let them fall by themselves.

In a large open space in front of Yang Yan's Chinese army camp, Liu Fuwu, Tian Kai, Chen Yi, and Lin Kefeng lined up in front of Yang Yan and knelt on the ground, and behind them knelt more than 500 soldiers who followed Chen Yi and Lin Kefeng to fight without authorization. The other soldiers and generals in the camp were all standing around and watching.

Yang Yan asked everything about it, and he finally felt a little relieved, because after all, it was only a small number of people who disobeyed his generals' orders, and they were not veterans of the expedition with him.

"What are the most important conditions for an invincible army? It's neither force, nor courage, nor weapons and assembly," Yang Yan said slowly: "It's military discipline, it's military discipline like a mountain, it's an order to prohibit, you say it's not." ”

"Yes!" The onlookers were confused for a moment and answered sparsely.

"Louder!"

"Yes!" Only then did everyone come to their senses and let out a thunderous shout. "Yes!"

Yang Yan nodded and said: "You all know that I, Yang Yan, came out of the selection of the front army, so there are a lot of my old robes in the selection of the front army, and my requirements for the selection of the front army are stricter than those of other armies, because my expectations for the selection of the front army are also greater." But I didn't expect that the first one to disobey my general order was to choose the front army. ”

The kneeling soldiers listened, and some of them bowed their heads in shame. Although Chen Yi was still not convinced, he could only endure it. Liu Fuwu knelt forward and said: "Yang Shuai, you don't need to say more, this time it is the election of the front army to disobey the orders of the adults, and the last general is the commander of the selection of the front army, so he is naturally guilty of it. ”

The kneeling soldiers said in unison: "Please punish the crime and die without complaint." ”

Yang Yan said sharply: "Gao Zhen, what is the fourth of the seventeen slashes?" ”

Gao Zhen hesitated for a moment and said: "There are many complaints, slandering the main general, not listening to constraints, and the stalk is difficult to govern...... The offender is beheaded. ”

When the generals heard this, they were all taken aback, could it be that Yang Yan wanted to behead all these soldiers? Zhou Fangyi hurriedly stepped out and said, "Yang Shuai, I read that they are all first-time offenders, spare them this time." ”

Chen Dong also said: "Yang Shuai, although they disobeyed your general's order, but this time they also won the battle after all, let them dismantle the merits and spare them this time." ”

Yang Yan smiled coldly and said: "Which article in the military law says that the first offense can be forgiven, and if the merit made for disobeying the general's order can be atoned, then wouldn't everyone have a reason to violate the order in the future?" ”

Zhou Fangyi and Chen Dong were stunned for a moment, unable to answer. Wu Xi came out again: "Yang Shuai, the last general thought that they disobeyed the general's order and should be punished, but Yang Shuai was ordered to quell the chaos in Guangnan, and if the order was not sent to the army, it would be disadvantageous for the army to behead their own people first, not to mention that it is the time to employ people before the battle, and the last general begged Yang Shuai to temporarily spare their capital crimes and allow them to wear their crimes and make meritorious contributions." Saying that, he knelt on the ground and said, "Please Yang Shuai spare their capital crimes." ”

Chen Dong and Zhou Fangyi also knelt on the ground when they saw it, and said, "Please ask Yang Shuai to spare their capital crimes." ”

As soon as "Hula" was large, all the generals knelt on the ground, along with Cao Xun and Gao Zhen, and said in unison: "Please Yang Shuai spare their capital crimes." ”

Yang Yan nodded at this time and said, "Everyone, please get up, okay, since you have interceded for them, then this time I will spare them the death penalty." ”

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yang Yan said again: "If you don't kill a crime, it is forgivable, but if you don't kill a crime, it is unforgivable, and all the soldiers who go out to fight without permission will be beaten with a cane of forty each, demoted to two levels, and punished for one month." Execute it immediately. ”

The executing soldiers came over and pulled the kneeling soldiers one by one to hit the board. And he didn't dare to do anything with his hands and feet, and he played solidly at once. However, the generals didn't say anything this time, after all, they all disobeyed Yang Yan's general orders, and it would be unreasonable to forget it if they didn't punish anything. Anyway, they were spared the death penalty, and it would be good to lie on the bed for a few days at most with forty wrenches, and it would not be a big deal to be demoted and punished, and they could make up for it if they made war exploits in the future, as long as it was not beheaded, anything would work.

Yang Yan continued: "Liu Fuwu, Tian Kai, although the two of you did not disobey the military order, but the subordinates violated the order, and the commander of the team should be punished jointly and severally according to the military law. ”

Liu Fuwu said: "The last general is guilty, please punish Yang Shuai." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I will punish the two of you for hitting the staff twenty, downgrade one level, and punish you for half a month." ”

Liu Fuwu and Tian Kai said in unison: "The last general is willing to accept the guilt." "Commanders and commanders are official positions, and Yang Yan's punishment for them is only a demotion, not the removal of their official positions of commanders and commanders, so they are still the commanders and commanders of the Fengjun.

In the end, it was Chen Yi and Lin Kefeng's turn to punish, Yang Yan looked at them, thought for a while, and then said: "Chen Yi, Lin Kefeng, you deliberately instigated the soldiers to disobey the military order, and took the lead in the battle without authorization, you are the main culprit this time, and you should be punished." However, I read that just now all the generals begged to spare your capital crimes, and each of you was struck with eighty rods, demoted to three ranks, and punished for three months, and the generals of the Xuanfeng Army were demoted to ordinary soldiers, and they were displayed in front of the camp gate for three days. You two are not convinced. ”

Although this punishment is much heavier than that of others, this time the violation of the order was completely instigated by the two of them, and their crimes are the greatest, so the punishment should be heavier. But again, as long as you don't cut off your head, you can be punished in any way.

Lin Kefeng said in a trembling voice: "The last general is guilty and willing to be punished." ”

Chen Yi said loudly: "The last general is not convinced." ”

This stunned all the generals, and no one thought that Chen Yi would suddenly come like this at this time. Liu Fuwu hurriedly came over, grabbed Chen Yi, and said, "Yi, what are you talking about?" Don't hurry up and confess to Yang Shuai. ”

Chen Yi shook off Liu Fuwu, stood up with "Teng", and said loudly: "The last general is not guilty, so he is not convinced." It turned out that Chen Yi had never thought that he was wrong, in his opinion, this time he won the battle, which proved that Yang Yan's strategy of refusing to fight was wrong, so he was not wrong. Yang Yan's punishment of himself and others is also wrong, he can still bear the board, demotion, and punishment, but he will be punished with a flail on the camp gate for three days, Chen Yi has always been arrogant, where he can endure this kind of punishment, so when Yang Yan asked him 'whether to accept it', he couldn't suppress his anger for a while, and he bumped into Yang Yan on the spot.

This time the matter was irreparable, and the air suddenly became tense. Yang Yan stared at Chen Yi, and Chen Yi also regretted it a little in his heart, but he couldn't take it back, so he could only stand up to the end, so he didn't show weakness and looked at Yang Yan.

After a long while, Yang Yan said: "Chen Yi, you disobey the military order and deserve to be punished, why don't you accept it?" ”

Chen Yidao: "It's good for me to disobey the military order, but you were ordered by the imperial court to quell the rebellion, but you led your men and horses to Guangnan for more than three months, and you have been refusing to defend without fighting, what is the reason." It is clearly a war of elimination and neglect, what sin should you talk about? ”

Yang Yan said lightly: "I have always ordered the soldiers to refuse to fight, not to eliminate the battle, but to wait for the opportunity to ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Yi's laughter, and after laughing, Chen Yi said, "Wait for the opportunity? What time to wait? I defeated the Manichaean army as soon as I went into battle, so hard that I had to wait for any time? I see that you are clearly cowardly and afraid, and you dare not fight. ”

As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a commotion among the people. Although all the generals were dissatisfied with Yang Yan's refusal to defend the order not to fight, but now Chen Yi said that it was a bit excessive, after all, this Yijing was insulting the boss, and even if Yang Yan ordered Chen Yi to be beheaded again, it was a matter of course. The generals had nothing to say.

Yang Yan smiled coldly and said: "What kind of person are you, Ben Shuai, as the envoy of Guangxi Road, is waiting for what time and when to fight, I'm afraid I don't need to tell you, and to cure Ben Shuai's crimes, the emperor, Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council will decide, and it is not your turn to convict Ben Shuai." When will you be the privy envoy or the same as the peacekeeper, and then ask me about my crimes. ”

As soon as his words fell, it immediately caused a burst of laughter from the generals, obviously laughing at Chen Yi, who was just a small general, and he dared to question the future of the Lord. In fact, most people are complaining in their hearts that Chen Yi is too ignorant, and it is not easy for everyone to ask Yang Yan to be relieved, and change the capital crime to a living crime, thinking that he can calm things down, even if he is beaten a few times, and a few catties of meat are indispensable to show the public with a flail, but Chen Yi insists on turning things up again, and he is too ignorant.

Chen Yi's face was red and white for a while, and he suddenly said loudly: "Yang Yan, you are nothing remarkable, but you were born in the family of the Minister of Public Waiting, so you became this envoy, otherwise you are not as good as me?" ”

Yang Yan smiled faintly and said: "You are not bad at all, I was indeed born in the family of the minister, but the position of this Guangxi envoy was obtained by me in exchange for the military exploits of the expedition to Heiyang Mountain, the three crossings of the Yellow River, the defeat of the Jin army, the distance to guard Hengshan, the defense of Renxiu County, and the defense of Guangzhou, I can be said to be well-deserved." So what merits have you made since Chen Yi joined the army, and how many military exploits have you made? Why do you say that I am inferior to you? ”

Although Yang Yan is young, although he has a grandfather who is the king of the county, it is not entirely a fluke to become the envoy of Guangxi and become a feudal official, and the credits he just said are really there.

Chen Yi was ashamed and annoyed, and he was desperate, and said loudly: "These achievements are nothing remarkable, I can do it if I change it, not to mention anything else, do you dare to compete with me in martial arts?" ”

The generals scoffed at his previous sentence "I can do it if I change it", but they were all surprised by the latter sentence, which is tantamount to challenging Yang Yan. A young general dared to challenge the system envoy, which is really something that has never been heard of. Liu Fuwu watched things get more and more stiff on the side, anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Yang Yan looked at him for a while, and finally said, "Okay, I'll let you lose convincing today." ”

Chen Yihaha laughed, he had not participated in the expedition, so he had never seen Yang Yan show his martial arts. However, since he joined the army, he has always had a rare opponent, and probably only when he was still selecting the front army in the past, Bi Zaiyu could restrain him. Therefore, when it comes to the competition, he has full confidence and immediately says, "What if I win?" ”

Yang Yan said lightly: "If you win, all your punishments will be reduced, and I will immediately resign to the imperial court and return to the field, and I will never be born." But what if I win? ”

Chen Yidao: "If you win, I will immediately admit defeat and admit my guilt, and I will kill and kill you." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Okay." You've just come back from outside, so let's take a break and try again. ”

Chen Yidao: "No need, let's start now." ”

Yang Yan ignored him and said to himself: "Now it's more than half of the hour, and it's still an hour and a half by noon, so you can have a good rest, and we will meet here at noon to compete." He turned his head and said to Liu Fuwu: "Liu Tong, you arrange a tent for Chen Yi to rest, and then ask the Fire Engineering Division to open a meal for him, so that he can eat well and rest well, so as not to lose and have other excuses." ”
