In the city of Liangzhou, Liu Xing received a military report of the defeat in Yingzhou, and angrily vowed to cut Han Shizhong with a thousand knives.

Wu Jue in Xiangyang City was far more angry than Liu Xing at the moment, but he was actually even more annoyed and angry.

His eyes stared at the group of generals standing in front of him, and his face was so angry that he glanced at those people for a long time.

When he spoke, he scolded violently: "Straight lady thief, who is that Cheng Yunhe's student, where did such a fool come from?" I actually forgot to teach the most basic soldiers in the martial arts hall, and I forgot about the rules of obedience as my duty, and fell into the trap of the Han thief in order to steal merit. The straight lady is a thief, go, pass my handsome order, and let the patrol envoy of the rear guard arrest his family for me. Straight mother thief, greedy for merit, disobeying military orders, I asked his family to be his apologist for me. ”

Greedy for merit and disobedience to military orders.

The defeat of Yingzhou, Cheng Yunhe, the standard commander who led the troops, was indeed for this reason, so that the Northern Dynasty Army and the Xinwang soldiers, who had never suffered defeat, actually suffered their first defeat in the vast mountains and forests of Yingzhou. And this defeat, Han Shizhong actually killed the 5,000 Dongchuan soldiers brought by Wu Jue from Dongchuan.

It's distressing! In other words, a soldier who has been under his command for many years and has worked hard will feel distressed if he is killed in less than a day. Wu Jue's heart was dripping blood at the moment, and it hurt so much that he almost lost his mind.

If it's just distressed, it's okay, the Northern Dynasty Army and King Xin, who have never tried a fiasco, were defeated, and the supreme commander of the defeated army was none other than him, Wu Jue.

No one else has suffered defeat, no matter against the party or the Jurchens, no one has ever suffered defeat. However, as soon as he Wu Jue made a move, he was defeated, and he was still defeated by the Southern Dynasty soldiers whose combat strength was far inferior to that of the party and the Jurchens.

It's a shame. One made Wu Jue unable to face his own brother in the future. can't face the shame of the brothers Liu Qi and Liu Xi.

This shame. made Wu Jue angry and ashamed, so that he opened his mouth and scolded first.

"Wu Zhitai, please calm your anger, you must not send someone to arrest Cheng Yunhe's family." Wu Jue's scolding fell, but Wang Mingde, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly stood up and dissuaded: "Cheng Yunhe is a person who has gone through two dynasties, fought Taiyuan, fought Zhending, and attacked Youyun to seize the old land. ”

Cheng Yunhe. was originally a low-level junior colonel of the Ma Army under Xu Huiyan. It was a former meritorious general who followed Xu Huiyan into Taiyuan City when Liu Xing reversed and defended to attack Taiyuan.

At the beginning, he was the first person to climb Taiyuan City and plant the battle flag on the city tower. Later, he was also one of the first few vanguard generals to lead troops to capture the city. Next, when Yang Yizhong bombarded the golden soldiers from all walks of life in Youzhou, he was also a person who charged everywhere and made many miraculous achievements.

Such a person was promoted by Yang Yizhong and recommended to enter the third senior class of Jiangwutang because of his bravery. On the same day that Yang Yizhong was awarded the title of First Engineer of the Great Song Dynasty, he was also awarded the rank of First Class Cavalry Lieutenant and Adjutant General and was awarded a silver medal.

It can be said that he used to be a very successful person, but he suffered a defeat once, and he also died in the mountains of Yingzhou.

At such a time, Wu Jue sent people to arrest the orphans and widows in his family. There is no doubt that those who also had military exploits in the past will die and mourn.

This was Wang Mingde's idea, and Wu Jue heard his words of dissuasion. I quickly understood what he was thinking.

But ashamed and indignant, Wu Jue was still unwilling to stop there, his eyes were fixed on Wang Mingde, and he said with an angry face: "Then you tell me, how should I punish this kind of personal greed, so that my Great Song Dynasty lost more than 5,000 good men in vain." Then tell me, how should I explain to the parents, wives and children of the more than 5,000 Dongchuan children? ”

How to explain to the parents, wives and children of the 5,000 Dongchuan children, when Wu Jue said this, tears faintly flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Wu Jue's expression, Wang Mingde's heart was also frowning for a while.

Who has no parents, who has no relatives.

There are orphans and widows in Cheng Yunhe's family, and the Dongchuan children who were brought into Han Shizhong's ambush circle and died innocently in battle, which one is not the only orphan crying in the family now, leaving the widow to guard the empty bed?

Wang Mingde also led soldiers, and when he was a transfer envoy, he knew very well why many people were grateful to Liu Xingdou landlords and gave them land to join the army and wanted to enter his transfer department. Not everyone is afraid of death, and most of those who wanted to enter the transshipment department at the beginning were actually men with parents, wives and children.

On several occasions, after the transporters were killed in an ambush by a golden dog, Wang Mingde also saw with his own eyes how miserable and touching the scenes of those orphans and widows crying and helpless wept and helpless.

It is precisely because he has seen with his own eyes how painful, helpless and helpless the families of the fallen soldiers are, when Liu Xing has repeatedly raised the rewards for his military exploits and increased the protection of the soldiers and the families of the soldiers, Wang Mingde has always been one of the most firmly supportive of the group of people......

has already experienced, so when Wu Jue asked about his head, Wang Mingde immediately said his own suggestion: "The cabinet will take back Cheng Yiying's medal, the military department will remove all his military exploits, and the household department will take back the military merit field, and Shangjuan Tianshu will revoke his knighthood." Wu Zhitai, this is a bit of a suspicion of past achievements, but not doing so is not enough to deter the morale of the army, and it cannot ensure that there will be no more things like Cheng Yunhe's greedy merit and rash advances in the future, resulting in the innocent death of our army's good sons. ”

"What about the five thousand Dongchuan children who died in vain? Ignore them, just follow the rules of our dynasty can make their families feel at ease and not be wronged? Hearing Wang Mingde's suggestion, Wu Jue knew that it was already the most severe punishment in line with the new system of the Northern Dynasty, and he still cried out for those who were brought into the ambush circle by the main general and died innocently.

Hearing his words, Wang Mingde frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Please ask the Taifu to double the family of those fallen soldiers, and all the children of the fallen soldiers in this Yingzhou defeat will be borne by the imperial court before the age of sixteen. At the same time, the children of Cheng Yunhe's family were ordered to hand over two out of ten out of ten of their annual income to the Ministry of War as a heavy punishment. ”

Vicious!

When Wang Mingde finished speaking, although the generals standing around were still bowing their heads and did not dare to raise their heads, they secretly said in their hearts: It is worthy of being Mrs. Liu's confidant for many years, and the way and method of doing things are really the same as Mrs. Liu's!

is ruthless enough, and it really completely alleviates the shame in Wu Jue's heart.

But the source of shame came from Han Shizhong, Wu Jue nodded slightly, and first said in a deep voice: "Okay, deal with that thief who is greedy for merit and defeat according to Wang Futai's advice." ”

The words stopped slightly, Wu Jue raised his head suddenly, and his face became extremely fierce: "But Han Shizhong dares to kill my siblings like this, and I will never show mercy to him again." Passed on my commander's order, and ordered all those party soldiers to immediately go to the Yingzhou area. Raise the war with war, stop the war with war, as long as I can catch Han Shizhong or eliminate those soldiers and horses under him, I will not ask what the party soldiers want to do.
