Chapter 665: Accountability
Han Teng walked into the council hall, and at this time, the nine council hall elders were already seated, plus the two Feng Boyu masters, a total of eleven people, opposite Han Teng, lined up in a semi-arc.
Jiuli is actually a general name, including dozens of tribes, large and small, and the number of each tribe is different, some tribes can reach nearly 100,000 people, and some are less than 10,000 people, but the most important of them is a total of nine, the legend is that Chi You Ben surname Li, a total of 81 brothers, take the number of ninety-nine, the eighty-one brothers are divided into nine departments, in order to facilitate the rule of the army, which is also the origin of the name of the Jiuli tribe. Therefore, after retreating to Panlong Valley, a system of co-directors of the Nine Elders of the Council Hall and Feng Bo Yushi was established among the Jiuli clan. The Nine Elders of the Council Hall are the patriarchs of these nine major clans.
However, the current nine clans are no longer the nine clans that Chi You and the Yellow Emperor fought for power at the beginning, because in the previous battles, some tribes weakened, some tribes rose, and some completely disappeared, or merged with other tribes. The current nine clans are Kuafu, Tu Yong, Huangluo, Yuanxian, Jiang Li, Sanmiao, Mang, Sang, and Yue.
Feng Bo said in a deep voice: "This time to recruit Han Teng Hui clan, it was jointly initiated by the patriarch of the Sang clan Sang Jiantian and the patriarch of the Kuafu clan, Fang Li, questioning the failure of the battle of the Qin Dynasty this time, so that our Jiuli clan suffered heavy losses, and Han Teng's nearly ten years of time, how did he do, now Han Teng has passed through the Hui clan, what do you have to question him, just ask, but you are all elders, please respect your identity, and don't do rude things." ”
As soon as Feng Bo finished speaking, Fang Li stood up impatiently and said, "Han Teng, I just want to ask you, in this battle, our Kuafu clan has lost a total of more than 800 soldiers, how do you explain it." ”
Han Teng had already prepared for the other party's questioning, so he said confidently: "Patriarch Fang, this time the Kuafu clan sent 1,500 soldiers to help me fight, I am very grateful, this battle, more than 800 Kuafu clan soldiers were killed and wounded, and I am also very sad, but you patriarchs must not forget that fighting is to kill people, and it is not uncommon to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, if you are afraid of casualties, then simply don't fight." ”
Fang Li snorted and said, "There are casualties in war, I naturally understand this truth, but the soldiers of our Kua's father clan are all brave and good at fighting, even if there are casualties, it won't be so big?" How is it possible to kill more than half of the casualties at once? ”
Sang Jiantian immediately continued: "Yes, everyone knows that compared with ordinary soldiers, the warriors of the Kuafu clan have a very obvious advantage in strength, body, and height, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a block of ten, if it is used properly, these 1,500 warriors will not be at a disadvantage even against 120,000 troops, and Han Teng's subordinates still have more than 100,000 Qin troops, and the strength of the Dai army does not have an advantage, if it is properly commanded, it will never be such a result, so it has caused casualties among the warriors of the Kuafu clan, I think it was Han Teng's miscommand in this battle that caused the heavy casualties of the Kuafu warriors. ”
Last night, Sang Jiantian also did his homework, because he knew very well in his heart that in the turmoil of entering the city, the Sang family was already inseparable, and now he could only try to minimize the loss, hoping to sacrifice only Sang Yin and Sang Ji to save Sang Zaichi. Fortunately, the questioning of Han Teng was carried out before dealing with the turmoil in the city, so if Han Teng's responsibility can be confirmed and punished in the accountability of Han Teng, then it will be much easier to deal with the turmoil in the city.
Of course, Sang Jiantian knew that when he was held accountable, Fang Li must have questioned Han Teng about the loss of the Kuafu clan warriors, in fact, Sang Jiantian didn't care about the losses of the Kuafu clan warriors, on the contrary, when he first heard the news, he was very happy, because although the Sang family is the largest clan of the Jiuli clan, the strength of the Kuafu clan is actually under the Sang clan, only because the population is too small, and he is not too keen on fighting for power, so he succumbs to the Sang clan, but the Sang clan has always regarded the Kuafu clan as their biggest threat, It was only in this matter against Han Teng that the two sides were in cahoots.
And Sang Jiantian also knew that Fang Li was not good at words, if he blindly accused Han Teng of not letting the soldiers of the Kuafu clan suffer too many casualties, but it would be difficult to work, it could be seen from Han Teng's answer that he had already prepared for this, and he could prevaricate with only "kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred yourself", so after Han Teng answered, Sang Jiantian immediately spoke, attacking Han Teng from the perspective of a wrong command.
Of course, Sang Jiantian's words are not unreasonable, because the personal strength of the warriors of the Kuafu clan is indeed very strong, coupled with the group effect, so even if they fight against an enemy army ten times their own, they will not necessarily fall behind, and Han Teng's subordinates are not only the army of the Kuafu clan, but also a large number of Qin troops, and the Kuafu clan has still suffered heavy losses, so it can only be a matter of Han Teng's command, of course, in his words, there is a faint and subconscious meaning, Han Teng is deliberately letting the warriors of the Kuafu clan go to death.
After listening to Sang Jiantian's words, Fang Li suddenly realized and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Han Teng, it must be your command that has caused us to suffer heavy casualties among the soldiers of the Kua Father Clan." ”
Han Teng was still unhurried, and said: "Elder Fang, the process of this battle, as well as why the soldiers of the Kua Father Clan have such heavy casualties, what kind of army is used by the Dai Army, Fang Bi and Fang Xiang brothers have already explained it to you clearly, but the other elders may not know yet, now I might as well explain it in detail for you, please judge, whether my command is wrong this time, it is just a little longer." ”
The other eight elders really didn't know how this battle was lost, although they knew it within the Kua Father clan, they refused to believe it, and they didn't talk nonsense about it, but some people inquired about the scale claws from the young brothers of the Kua Father clan, but it was not comprehensive, they were still confused, so after listening to Han Teng's words, they were all quite interested, after all, it was not much to make the Kua Father Clan suffer such a big loss. And although Fang Li was reluctant in his heart, saying it made the Kua Father clan feel dishonorable after all, but at this time, there was no way to stop the appearance.
At this time, Feng Bo said: "Okay, you can say it." ”
Han Teng then told in detail about the two battles of the Kuabu warriors in this battle, the first battle of the Kuafu warriors against the light cavalry of the Dai Army, the result was naturally a complete victory, and in the second battle, the Dai Army dispatched the heavy armored cavalry, the two sides to the hard, strong to strong, real swords and real guns of the big battle, as a result, the soldiers of the Kuafu clan suffered more than half of the casualties, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Dai army was no better there, the number of casualties will never be less than that of the Kuafu clan, but the number of heavy armored cavalry is more than that of the Kuafu clan, so it is defeated. Moreover, Han Teng talked in great detail about the characteristics and combat effectiveness of the heavily armored cavalry, and talked about it for more than half an hour, and finally took out a picture of the heavy armored cavalry painted on silk cloth for everyone to see.
In fact, the nine elders of the council hall are all people with a wide range of knowledge, although the Jiuli tribe retreated to the Panlong Valley, but it is not completely isolated from the world, every year a certain number of potential disciples will be sent out of the valley to practice, and also established stations in various countries to receive these brothers and daughters who have gone out of the valley to find out the news of the outside world, and at the same time, they can also find potential teenagers and children to return to the valley to supplement the population of the Jiuli tribe. Some people have even held official positions among the nations, so the nine elders of the council hall have a lot of experience and experience, and they are not ignorant of human feelings.
Therefore, after listening to Han Teng's words, the other eight elders have already believed six or seven points, from Han Teng's speech and drawings, it can be basically determined that the heavy armored cavalry of the Dai army is indeed a powerful army, and the speed and impact of the war horse are of course not comparable to ordinary people, although the warriors of the Kua Father clan are more manpower than others, but compared with the war horse, there is still a certain gap, not to mention that the war horses of the heavy armored cavalry are carefully selected, and they are taller than the average war horse, so that the impact is naturally stronger.
Of course, it's just a war horse, and it's not a big deal, after all, the warriors of the Kuafu clan defeated the ordinary cavalry of the Dai Army in the first battle, but the Chongyu cavalry is not an ordinary cavalry, in addition to the larger size of the war horse, and the most important thing is that the men and horses are wearing double armor, so that not only the impact is stronger, but also the defense has been greatly strengthened, and after seeing Han Teng's portrait, everyone has to sigh, it is indeed difficult to deal with such a cavalry army, fortunately, it is a warrior of the Kuafu clan, If an ordinary army encounters a heavily armored cavalry, it is estimated that two or three charges will be scattered. Therefore, after Han Teng finished speaking and finished reading the drawing, there was silence in the conference hall for a while, and no one made a sound.
After a while, Feng Bo said, "Do you have anything else to ask about Han Teng's answer?" If there is no more problem, then Han Teng is not at fault for this question. ”
Although Fang Li was unwilling, it was a pity that he couldn't find any problems when he searched for dry intestines, so his face turned red, but he could only stare dryly and say nothing. And Sang Jiantian's heart was also very anxious, could it be that Han Teng would be allowed to pass the test this time?
Seeing that no one spoke, Feng Bo coughed dryly, and was just about to announce the end of this question, and the next question could be carried out, Sang Jiantian finally couldn't help it, and said: "The two great elders, even if it is because the heavy armored cavalry of the Dai army is strong, but listening to what Han Teng said, there are only three thousand people, and the soldiers of the Kua Father clan are fighting with the heavy armored cavalry, in fact, they are both defeated, and the Qin army led by Han Teng is not less than the Dai army, not to mention that Han Teng also built a large number of chariots, so the strength is not below the Dai army, but the result of this battle is the defeat of the Qin army, It allowed the Dai army to expand its territory and increase its strength, and it also frustrated our plan for the revival of the Jiuli tribe, so I think Han Teng should be held accountable for the crime of defeating this time. ”
Yu Shi said: "Sang Jiantian, this is the next question, you can ask it later, right?" ”
