Chapter 510 Chai Rong's determination
Ling Tianyun and Ye Yinfeng lay by the campfire and talked softly, they exchanged their feelings outside the war with each other, with them at such a young age, they encountered such a cruel war, which made it difficult for the two of them to calm down for a long time. In the vast starry sky, the twinkling stars, the absence of the dancing bonfire, all penetrate the hesitation in their hearts, they are like the lost tired birds under the night, they cannot find the true way back.
In Chai Rong's camp tent, there are many people, which brings together the famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin is of course among them, Shi Shouxin, Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin and Shi Yanchao and other generals are in Chai Rong's camp tent, Ningjiang Jiedu envoy Liu Ci is also there, except for the other eastward army Fu Heng did not arrive, this camp tent almost includes the famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this tent, Chai Ronggao sat at the desk in the tent, and below him were the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were dressed in bright but endless blood-colored armor. The atmosphere in the tent was a little dreary, and although the eyes of the people could not suppress the joyful joy, they bowed their heads and frowned, as if they had a trace of fear of the imperial majesty emanating from the emperor who sat high.
Chai Rong, who had a somewhat iron-blue face, just quietly listened to the report of Liu Ci, the envoy of Ningjiang Jiedu, and his face was a little angry with a little bit of unconcealable anger, and he completely lost the joy after the defeat of the Northern Han. No one dared to touch this powerful Great Zhou Emperor, and everyone didn't dare to vomit like a chilling cicada.
"Bastard, as a general of my Great Zhou, he behaved like this, it just chilled my heart. I asked the generals to come tonight to listen to the opinions of the generals on how to deal with the generals who fled with the army, such as Fan Aineng and He Hui. After listening to Liu Ci's report, Chai Rong couldn't help but be so angry that he jumped like thunder, and the roots of the green basket appeared from his forehead. His face became more and more angry as Liu Ci's report grew, and he almost stood up and threw away the report on his desk.
If it weren't for Fan Aineng and other generals who escaped from the battle, then this battle would not have been so thrilling, and so many Great Zhou soldiers would not have died. The most infuriating thing is that Da Zhou has already stood in the corner, and Chai Rong also sent people to find Fan Aineng, who fled to the south, and asked him to rejoin the battlefield. What is hateful is that Fan Aineng not only did not come back to join the battlefield, but also killed the envoy sent by Chai Rong, who could stand such a cowardly and incompetent general with no imperial power.
The generals glanced at each other, and no one made any suggestions, even Zhao Kuangyin, who was close to Chai Rong, did not put forward any opinions at this time. It's not that he doesn't want to mention it, but Fan Aineng is a former minister of the emperor, and no one has a good impression of a general like him who escaped from the battle. If the punishment is light, it will make the military discipline of the Great Zhou unable to be strict, if the punishment is heavy, he is the former emperor after all, and I am afraid that other old ministers will have a feeling of sadness. Therefore, no matter how you deal with it, the generals in this tent will not be able to give a reasonable opinion at all.
Chai Rong looked at the generals, hoping to get some opinions from their mouths that he wanted to hear. But to his disappointment, he didn't hear any opinions, and for a general like Fan Aineng, who was greedy for life and afraid of death and escaped from the battle, he had already had a strong killing intent in his heart. He hoped that the generals present could give him a reason to kill Fan Aineng, and he also knew what the generals were thinking, after all, Fan Aineng was a former minister who followed the emperor, but if Fan Aineng was killed, there would be more similar generals in this Great Zhou, so he couldn't tolerate such a thing to happen again in Great Zhou.
"Don't the generals have a word to say, can the generals tolerate the appearance of such a general who is greedy for life and afraid of death and escapes in my big Zhou. On the battlefield, everyone's lives are handed over to each other, can you rest assured that you can hand over your back to someone like Fan Aineng? ”
Chai Rong asked in an almost roaring tone, all the generals in this camp were his most trusted generals, but no one gave him a reason, which made him very angry. He was born and died with these generals, and he had long regarded him as a brother, beyond the relationship between the monarch and the minister, but because of a general who escaped, the relationship between them became alienated. No one knew what was going on, and no one paid attention to it.
The growing imperial aura of the Great Zhou Tianzi is getting stronger and stronger, and his body will inadvertently reveal a domineering intent that is not angry but mighty, which even Chai Rong himself does not know that such a change has occurred in him. Because he decided to go his own way and defeated the Northern Han Dynasty, the sworn enemy of the Great Zhou, the imperial aura on his body was even more obvious, and this aura was the kind of domineering majesty that he slowly formed as a son of heaven.
The generals in the camp still didn't have anything to say, even the Ningjiang Jiedu made Liu Ci fall into silence after expressing Fan Aineng's various crimes, and there were a few times when he opened his mouth to say something, but he felt this dead and quiet atmosphere, and couldn't help but stop. Several generals looked at each other secretly, it was not that they didn't want to say it, but in their hearts, there was still no real convincing reason for him to kill Fan Aineng and other soldiers who escaped from the battle.
"Well, you wait and retreat, I'm sleepy." Chai Rong sighed, he was really tired. He was not even prepared for this war, and the thrilling experience of the battlefield made him physically and mentally exhausted. And he didn't want to force the generals of Da Zhou at this time, maybe let them go back and think about it, tomorrow there will be a surprise for him.
The generals bid farewell to the Great Zhou Emperor and rushed out, their faces showing relaxed expressions. The victory should have been celebrated, but because of Fan Aineng's affairs, the generals fell into a depressing and dull atmosphere. Leaving Chai Rong's camp, although the dullness that pressed on their hearts had not completely disappeared, they no longer racked their brains for Fan Aineng's affairs for the time being.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting Chai Rong's haggard face, at this time he felt extremely tired, and bursts of sleepiness kept coming, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. His mind still stayed in the appearance of Fan Aineng when he escaped, and he still retained the scene of those soldiers who fought and died for the honor of the Great Zhou when they shed their blood. If he didn't kill Fan Aineng, he felt sorry for the Great Zhou soldiers who died on the battlefield, and he felt that he should give an explanation to those Great Zhou soldiers who died on the battlefield. However, he had already seen and seen the attitudes of the other Great Zhou generals, so this made him feel very sad.
Gently lifting the curtain of the tent, he lifted his feet and walked out of the tent. At this time, several roaring bonfires were lit in the Great Zhou military camp, and the Great Zhou soldiers around the bonfire were talking happily, and the victory of this war brought them endless topics, as if they could not finish talking about it all night.
Chai Rong walked past the piles of bonfires, causing the Great Zhou soldiers around the bonfires to get up and salute in a hurry, their faces showed excitement, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou is not just anyone can meet. They stopped talking, the excitement in their eyes was undisguised, except for the excited look was endless admiration, their emperor of the Great Zhou was indeed today's peerless hero, leading them to defeat the combined forces of the Northern Han and Khitan.
Chai Rong waved his hand and walked from the piles of bonfires, his quiet silence at this group of soldiers who were born and died for the Great Zhou, and it was with this group of brave and fearless soldiers that the Great Zhou became more powerful. He didn't speak, but stopped the soldiers who were about to bow down.
The Great Zhou soldiers who were around the bonfire watched their Emperor Majesty slowly leave, and they saw the confidence of their admiration in the back of the majestic shore, and the back of the mountain made them feel hope. They felt that it was their privilege to follow such a king in this life.
Ye Yinfeng and Ling Tianyun were still talking about the topic of war, and they occasionally discussed the philosophy of life and death, but the two of them just said it casually, and the two did not form a consensus. But this did not affect the interest of the two of them to talk, it was the first time for the two to chat so freely, they were physically and mentally relaxed, and they felt extremely relaxed. Even after a fierce battle during the day, they didn't feel any fatigue, and this strange phenomenon was really the first time they had encountered it. The two of them also faintly felt something in their hearts, their martial arts realm was about to break through to a new realm, just one chance to break through.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, coming slowly in their direction from a distance. But that doesn't stop them from chatting. The slight sound of footsteps didn't distract them, maybe it was some passing soldier, ordinary soldiers couldn't stay with them at all, so they didn't expect anyone to disturb them.
"The starry sky is small, the night breeze is soft, and the two of you are so elegant." A deep voice reached their ears, waking up the two men who were talking.
"Big brother, why are you here?" As soon as Ling Tianyun turned over, he saw Chai Rong standing behind them. He felt that Chai Rong's body at this time exuded an inexplicable aura that made him inexplicable, and the majesty and domineering exuded by Chai Rong's body at this time was stronger than before, and his body exuded a trace of noble grace. After this war, Chai Rong's imperial aura has become more mature, and he is no longer the Great Zhou Emperor who has just ascended the throne.
Ye Yinfeng heard Ling Tianyun's words, and he also turned over and stood up and saluted Chai Rong. He just bowed slightly, and then said, "The grass people have seen Your Majesty. ”
Chai Rong waved his hand, he felt a coldness in his bones from Ye Yinfeng's tone, and he was very puzzled why Ye Yinfeng was so cold to himself. He was also very curious, why this young man's body still showed a faint hostility towards himself, although he didn't know much about this young man, but the other party had also helped Da Zhou, so he shifted his gaze from Ling Tianyun's body to this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Big brother, it's so late, why don't you rest. Seeing that your face is so tired, but your brows are tightly locked, is something happening? Ling Tianyun had already sensed Ye Yinfeng's faint hostility towards Chai Rong, although he didn't know why, he could only take the opportunity to change the topic. He felt that he had time, and he should ask Ye Yinfeng what grievances he had between him and Chai Rong.
"It's okay, it's just that it's hard to make up your mind about military affairs. Brother Wei really didn't feel a little sleepy, and he went out for a walk, but he didn't want to meet you. Chai Rong put aside the doubts in his heart, and he replied to Ling Tianyun with a long sigh. Then, he also learned from Ling Tianyun and the others to lie in the grass next to the campfire, looking up at the starry sky with his head on his hands, stunned.
"Big brother is worried about General Fan and his subordinates escaping?" Ling Tianyun couldn't help but think of Fan Aineng and the others, and he asked in a low voice.
"Oh, what does the third brother think about this matter?" Chai Rong felt a little surprised, he didn't expect Ling Tianyun to say something about his troubles in one sentence, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Big brother, the state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, so if the law should be corrected on the spot, it will be punished according to military regulations. Although General Fan was a former minister of the former emperor, he had no achievements or military exploits since following the former emperor. But this person is in a high position, but he does not seek his responsibility in his position, and today's battle is greedy for life and fear of death to escape, and he should be beheaded according to military regulations. If the eldest brother still has any scruples, then how to be worthy of those soldiers who died in battle today, what do other generals think of the younger brother, but the younger brother thinks that this person must be beheaded. Otherwise, we will not be able to correct the morale of the army, and we will not be able to establish the majesty of our Great Zhou soldiers. ”
