Chapter 723 Climb to the top and look down on the crowd

The huge copper screen in the hall reflected the bright light of the butter candles, adding a white heaviness to the hall. WWW.HUNHUN.NET/ mixed * mixed * small * said net / no pop-up ad full text TXT download Wang Xuanying pushed open the door of the hall and took the generals of the Jianghuai Army into the hall, and couldn't help but be dazzled by the bright candlelight.

After taking his hand away and gradually getting used to the brightness of the hall, he found that this quiet hall was already full of generals, captains, and staff officers from Hebei, and they were the last to arrive. However, in the center of the hall, there are a few exceptions that do not sit down.

He saw at a glance that the Hebei generals Guo Xiaoke and Lu Shishen, who had been separated since the first day of the new year, were wearing their upper bodies at this time, kneeling in the hall like a stone statue, their heads bowed, and they didn't say a word.

In addition to the second general Lu Guo who was kneeling with his chest back, behind them, there was also a long row of more than ten Hebei officers in the uniform of captains. Looking at the stiff postures of the people, Wang Xuanying immediately guessed that these people had been kneeling for a long time.

Wang Xuanying led his subordinate generals into the seats arranged for them on the left, and as soon as he sat down, Chen Pojun, who was wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, wearing a bright silver and bright unicorn armor, and a long cloak of crimson woven flowers on his back, strode in with deerskin boots.

Entering the hall, he didn't even glance at the officers kneeling on the ground, and went straight to the top seat. After drinking a bowl of broth carelessly, he put down the bowl and glanced at the generals on the left and right, but still did not look at Lu, Guo and other generals.

Li Jing, who was in the first place in the lower right, stood up, his hair was gray, but his body was still majestic, and he couldn't see that he was over half a hundred years old and almost a sixtieth year. At this time, Li Jing was in good shape, and his gestures exuded a kind of confidence. Standing there, such as the abyss stop the mountain, the mountain shape is majestic. His complexion was ruddy, and his eyes radiated a bright glow.

"Your Highness, our army fought today, and once again gave Li Mi a severe blow, although Li Mi fought back desperately, he still left thousands of corpses and returned to the cottage. At present, our army once again advanced 500 steps to Luokou and forced the Wei army camp to the walled entrance. In addition, according to His Royal Highness's orders, our army had already seized Jiushan east of Luokou during the day while the Wei army was fighting with the Jianghuai army. At present, the engineer battalion is constructing fortifications and installing crossbow arrows, catapults and other remote equipment. ”

"What about our casualties?"

"Our army's casualties today are not large, about hundreds of casualties, the dead of the war have been collected bodies, and the wounded have been sent to the medical camp for treatment. Read with me H-U-N Mixed *H-U-N Mixed *Small-Say-Net, please keep in mind that at present, all the medical battalions have been transferred to Luokoucang City, and a medical battalion has been set up in the north of the city, and all the minor and serious wounded have been transferred to the medical battalions in the city. At present, most of the wounded have been treated, but we have run out of medicines, and we are still collecting various things, but they are still insufficient. ”

"Send a letter to General Luo Yi of the Tiger Prison, asking him to immediately collect and buy all kinds of medicinal materials from the rear, and the soldiers are bleeding desperately on the front line. Since they survived, we can't let them die from lack of medicine. Then send a letter to Fang Xuanling Xiangguo in the capital, asking him to order the local government to requisition all kinds of urgently needed medicinal materials, and we must try to save all the wounded soldiers. ”

After a big battle, many times there are not many soldiers who really die directly on the battlefield, and the most casualties among the real soldiers are all kinds of wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers on the battlefield are basically helpless from serious injuries. Soldiers with minor injuries are also prone to death due to infections and other reasons.

The Hebei Army is not a peasant army, the Hebei Army pays attention to the strategy of elite soldiers, and every soldier is strictly trained, and well-equipped armor and weapons, and is a professional soldier. Such soldiers are all training grounds, and they are eliminated on the battlefield, and each one of them is extremely valuable. For Li Mi, he can afford to die 12,000 or even 100,000 soldiers and horses, but if the Hebei army suffers more than 10,000 casualties, it will be a huge casualty for the Hebei army, and it will be difficult to bear. …,

Chen Kefu asked the guards to pour another glass of wine, which was a special golden wine of the Liaodong Peninsula, with a fruity taste. Chen Kefu doesn't like to drink strong liquor, but he likes to drink this kind of wine that was introduced to Liaodong by people from the Western Regions, and the more he drinks, the more delicious it is. His face was slightly red, and there was a bright, fanatical look in his eyes looking down the hall. It was a pair of eyes burning with wildfire, thought many of those who looked at him.

All the soldiers of the coalition army already knew about Chen Kefu's two wives and had just given birth to two sons. Today, Chen Kefu ordered to reward the three armies. During the day, a group of high-spirited soldiers excitedly used carts to pull carts of wine and meat out of the city from Luokoucang City.

Wine, meat, and the three armies feasted and drank heartily, cheering for the victory on the battlefield and rejoicing that King Chen had two sons.

In the hall, a team of attendants served plates of roasted golden beef and mutton, and served pots and pots of fine wine.

On both sides of the hall, many musicians from the city are playing, and kataka are dancing. The melodious sound of the pipa flows slowly, and the long sleeves of the kabuki flutter like clouds.

After the barbecue, there is a delicious broth, which is one of the favorite foods of these brave soldiers. Whether in peacetime or on the battlefield, stewed broth will always be the favorite of soldiers.

However, in this celebratory atmosphere, there are also some people with heavy faces. Among them, the second generals Lu and Guo, who had been kneeling in the hall for a long time, and their subordinates, who had not been tolerated, were like this, and Chen Kefu didn't even look at them halfway through the dinner.

"Get up!" After the singing and dancing, Chen Kefu finally turned his gaze to the kneeling generals in the hall.

One of the lieutenants knelt for too long, his legs were already numb, and when he got up, one of them was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground again.

Chen Kefu asked the captain to help him up, got up and said to Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke, "I didn't let you get up, I told them to get up." Disobey orders on the battlefield and change military orders without authorization, how dare you be? I don't blame them, they are just your subordinates, they obey the duty of a soldier and obey the orders of their superiors. But you, as a general trusted by the king, marched with the military orders given by the king himself, but you changed the military orders without permission, you are so bold, do you still have military law in your eyes? ”

Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke just stood up, and when they heard the words, they knelt down again and didn't say a word.

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!" Chen Kefu swept the second general with a heavy face, rarely stern, "Although you are the commander of the first army, when you are about to go out of battle, this king has already given a military order. This time, you are just dividing your troops all the way, not alone. Commanding on the spot, a plan of expedient change, is not suitable for your situation. Li Jing, according to military law and military regulations, what crime did Guo Xiaoke and Lu Shishen commit! ”

"The second general did not obey the military order, changed the military order without authorization, beheaded him before the battle according to the order, and passed the head of the three armies to show warning!" Li Jing replied.

"Okay, there is no order in the army, pass on the order of Wang Shuai, push these two out and behead them, and pass on the first three armies to pay respect!"

"Your Highness, no!" Li Jing said loudly. "Your Highness, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, punishment will be given. The second general Lu Guo violated the military order, and naturally he should be severely punished. But the two of them also have great merit, and they should also be rewarded. Although General Lu Guo violated the military order this time, he occupied Luokou Cangcheng and achieved his previous plan of cutting off Li Mi's logistics and grass. Moreover, the second general guarded Luokou Cangcheng, and also blocked Li Mi's retreat for more than half a month, so that our army was able to kill and injure a large number of Wei troops before. Moreover, the second general has been preserving the grain and grass that was originally forced to be burned, and the preservation of 20 million stone grain and grass has allowed the coalition forces to avoid the transportation and collection of logistics grain and grass, and the credit is also very great. ”

With Li Jing taking the lead, the rest of the generals naturally stepped forward to intercede. Guo Xiaoke and Lu Shishen were Chen Kefu's henchmen, and everyone naturally understood that Chen Kefu was just going through the motions, and it was impossible to really behead the two. Don't plead at this time, and they will be married to the second general in the future. As for Wang Xuanying and others, anyway, it is someone else's business, and they are also happy to watch the play, and everyone also said a few good words. …,

Li Jing is right, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if there is a fault, punishment will be given, but merit and demerit cannot be offset. In this case, the king ruled that Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke would each be beaten with 40 sticks, and all officers above the team would be beaten with 10 sticks. In addition, Lu Guo and the second generals were demoted by two levels and fined for one year, and the rest of the soldiers were not considered. In addition, Nian Lu Guo's department has made meritorious contributions to the preservation of grain and grass, and all ordinary soldiers in the army will be rewarded with ten cents. All officers will be rewarded with a hundred dollars! Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke each bounty 1,000 coins! Remember, this is a first-time offense, so it will be dealt with lightly. If there is a repeat offense, the penalty will be doubled! ”

"Thank you for the favor of King Chen!"

"Your Highness, the Chen Dynasty of Henan has sent troops to help, and it is reported that it will pour the country to fight, with 300,000 soldiers and horses to Shouchun, and it will be to Luoyang in a few days. Hearing that Wei Dao'er in Hebei was also going to raise troops to respond to Li Mi, Wei Dao'er threatened to send 200,000 troops to cross the Yellow River and go south to Luoyang in a few days. Your Highness, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses of Wei Dao'er in the north, and 300,000 troops in the south of Nanchen, I don't know how Your Highness plans to deal with it? Wang Xuanying, who was dressed in a wide robe, was like an elegant scribe, holding a wine glass in his hand, and asked Chen Kefu with a smile.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding! Nanchen Beiyan, in the eyes of this king, is just a group of mountain bandits and bandits, known as 500,000 soldiers and horses, but a rabble of some local chickens and dogs, so why be afraid. Li Mi is also known as the overlord of the Central Plains, with 670,000 troops. Under our coalition forces, it will only be wiped out in less than half a month! Chen Kefu raised his eyes and spoke loudly, with an indescribable momentum in his tone.

Wang Xuanying nodded in agreement, and greeted him, "Great hero, it should be like this." Your Royal Highness, Xiao Wang is not talented, and is willing to serve His Royal Highness the saddle horse, please allow Xiao Wang to lead the Jianghuai soldiers and horses of his headquarters to immediately go south along Yingshui, and take the first step to seize Wanqiu, Xiangcheng, Yingyang, and Ruyin along the Yingshui coast, and block Nanchen from going north! ”

"No!" Chen Kefu waved his hand, got up and said, "There is no need for this, we will let them come, in addition, from now on, pass on the military order of this king, all armies will only besiege Li Mi's army, and without this king's command, no one will be allowed to fight without authorization, and those who dare to violate the order will be decided!" ”
