"Daddy, what are you doing here? ”

Li Hongfeng, who was chasing Hong Xiuquan and returned from failure, heard Chao You shouting before he saw Chao Gairen.

"Heavenly King, what are you doing? ”

Li Hongfeng looked at it fixedly, this Chao Gai actually held the Qinglong Mountain Knife and put it on his neck, didn't he want to kill himself?

Li Hongfeng felt that the horse stepped forward, jumped off the horse, and helped Chao You stop Chao Gai together.

"Chao is sorry for the owner of the village, the owner of the village handed over the army to Chao's command, but Chao lost many people and horses, what face do you have to see the owner of the village. ”

Chao Gai's face was flushed, and he closed his eyes very ashamedly and said, as the chief general of the first army, no one can stand it for him to have such a record.

"Dad, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, no. ”

Chao You, as Chao Gai's son, how could he watch Chao Gai commit suicide.

"Yes, the King of Heaven, the young king is right, victory and defeat are common, not because of the defeat in a battle, besides, we also beheaded several generals in Dongyangzhai, which is also considered meritorious. ”

Li Hongfeng also helped Chao You persuade on the side.

"Alas, Chao is ashamed, since the battle of Bozhou, Chao has been defeated repeatedly, and the owner of the village trusts Xiyangzhai and a certain family to take charge, that is, the army of the four roads of the army to suppress the east of the village, the commander of the four roads army also has a place for Chao.

But Chao is ashamed of his trust in the owner of the village, but he lost thousands of brothers in the first war, so how can Chao face the owner of the village, how to face tens of thousands of brothers in the cottage. ”

Chao Gai is really ashamed, in vain he is called the king of heaven, he has the strength of a half-step star armor, but whether it is a record or something else, it is not as good as other leaders in the cottage, and now this four-way army does not know how others are, but at least there should be no general like him.

"The king of heaven and listen to me, now although we have lost most of the soldiers and horses, but this battle is not the fault of the king, that Hong Xiuquan is the most resourceful person in Dongyang Village, except for the owner of the village and the military division, even other brothers can not please ah. ”

Li Hongfeng explained the benefits and disadvantages to Chao Gai, and the biggest reason for such a record this time was that Chao Gai met a difficult opponent, Zhihu Hong Xiuquan.

If it weren't for Hong Xiuquan's earnestness for his meritorious service and wanting to capture Chao Gai alive and go down the mountain by himself, maybe there would be more casualties.

Alas, even so, Chao kept his life, and after the army was assembled, he went to the owner of the village to ask for guilt. ”

After listening to Chao You and Li Hongfeng's advice, Chao Gai also dispersed the Qinglong Mountain Knife in his hand, leaving only his life and waiting for the army to assemble, and then seek Qin Yu to accept the guilt.

After Chao Gai reassembled the soldiers and horses, he found that the original 3,000 soldiers and horses were now only about 1,000, and more than 2,000 people died under Hong Xiuquan's ambush.

I don't know how many people are seriously injured and waiting for death, but there are still hundreds of people who are slightly injured, and if they are treated in time, they can still have the strength to fight.

Chao Gai regained his spirits and led the surviving men and horses to continue the march towards Dongyangzhai with the lightly wounded soldiers.

However, those who were seriously injured could only be cruelly abandoned by Chao Gai, not that Chao Gai didn't want to take them, but in the big war, it was too cumbersome to carry them, so Chao Gai could only do this.

At this point, these four armies have broken through the ambush of Dongyangzhai and headed for the road to Dongyangzhai, unimpeded.

After a few more days, the army of the four roads finally gathered, except for Chao Gai, the army and horses of the west road suffered many losses, the other three roads did not suffer many losses, and even the army of Qin Yu on the north road had a lot of people.

"I've seen the owner of the village. ”

After all the four armies were gathered, the main generals and generals of all the roads met Qin Yu together.

"Brothers, please get up. ”

Qin Yu sat on the main seat of the tent that had been set up temporarily, and his hands were empty to help everyone up.

"Brothers, have you gained anything along the way?"

Qin Yu has already gathered the army of the four routes, and he is about to launch a general attack on Dongyang Village, so he naturally needs to know the enemies encountered by the other three roads and what they have captured.

"Zhai master, my East Road army has defeated the enemy army when it encounters the above Wen Yue's department. ”

Fang Jie took the lead in reporting the good news.

"Okay, Leader Fang is really worthy of my cottage general. ”

Qin Yu laughed, Fang Jie really deserved to be called the number one general in the southern country, it was really powerful.

"Old man, this army of the South Road is also defeating the enemy. ”

Mei Zhan then said in Fang Minglin.

"Okay, Old General Mei should be old and strong, which is really Qin Yu's luck. ”

Qin Yu is also very happy with Mei Zhan's performance, this Mei Zhan is worthy of being a festival envoy in the original book, and he really has a set of commanders.

Qin Yu was happy, but the more Chao Gai listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and his face was completely pale.

"The owner of the village, Chao is ashamed of his trust in the owner of the village, more than half of the three thousand people and horses have been lost, and he also asked the owner of the village to behead Chao and use the military law!"

Chao Gai already had the urge to think, and now he was even more determined to do so, and when the good news came from both the South and East armies, he was the only one who brought bad news.

Boom!

"What! Chao Gai, you were defeated, and you lost half of my army!"

Qin Yu's originally smiling face suddenly fell after hearing the news reported by Chao Gai.

"Chao Gai, Chao Gai, in vain I trust you so much, and hand over the army of the Western Road to your rule, but you have lost many soldiers and horses, you, I am angry!"

Qin Yu was really angry, the Xiyang Village was broken before because of Qin Yu's own plan, that is, he was angry and fake angry, but now this Chao Gai is really defeated, and now he is really angry.

"Come on, drag Chao Gai down and behead the owner of this village!"

Although Qin Yu was also very reluctant to behead Chao Gai, since Chao Gai made a mistake, he had to be punished, otherwise it would not be enough to convince the public.

Therefore, even if Qin Yu is reluctant, he will be ruthless and cut Chao Gai.

"The owner of the village is gracious!"

Chao You instantly knelt in front of Qin Yu and begged Qin Yu bitterly.

"The lord of the village is gracious, it's not that we are unfavorable in battle, but that the enemy army is too cunning. ”

Li Hongfeng also hurriedly came out to intercede for Chao Gai, and also truthfully reported every word of their experience.

"No matter how cunning the enemy is, Chao Gai, as the commander of the first army, can't correctly judge the fighter is a mistake. ”

Although Qin Yu listened to Li Hongfeng's defense, if he was defeated, he was defeated, and it was a fiasco, and Chao Gai still had to be punished.

"The owner of the village can't do it!"

Fang Jie was taken aback when he heard this, and stood up directly from the queue.

"The owner of the village, it is not the king of heaven who is unfavorable in the battle, this is not the fault of the king of heaven, and the owner of the village is asked to take back his fate. ”

Hu Chituo also stood up.

"The owner of the village, please also see that the king of heaven has made a contribution to my cottage, and this time he has beheaded Yang Kai and Mu Lan, and he will have the credit for the sake of capturing Guo Yi. ”

Mei Zhan also spoke.

"The lord of the village, the leaders are right, now is the time of my cottage war, it is the time of the lack of good generals, if you kill the king of Chao, wouldn't it be the relatives and enemies to be happy? ”

Su Lin also came out to intercede on behalf of Chao Gai.

"Please take back the fate of the village owner and let the king go!"

Su Lin bowed down and said solemnly to Qin Yu.

"Please take back the fate of the village owner and let the king go!"

"Please take back the fate of the village owner and let the king go!"

Afterwards, many leaders bowed down and said to Qin Yu one by one, and they pleaded for Chao Gai together, hoping that Qin Yu would let the Heavenly King go.

"This ...... Alas, Chao Gai, this time there are many leaders of the cottage who intercede for you, then I will spare you once, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, I will remove you from the position of leader, and punish you with thirty military sticks, can you accept it?"

Qin Yu faced the pleas of many leaders, and he didn't continue to pretend, and there were no steps for Qin Yu to go down if he pretended to go down.

But although Chao Gai's life was spared, the punishment was still needed.

"Serve. ”

Chao Gai nodded and agreed, the life that can be saved is excellent, even a hundred military sticks, and he has to be served.

"But now that it's a big war, this stick will be put aside for the time being, and it will be liquidated after the war. ”

However, because the war was about to begin, Chao Gai couldn't be really injured, so these thirty military sticks were also owed by Qin Yu for the time being, and they would be counted together after the war.

After the war, if Chao Gai is meritorious, this military stick can also be dispensed with.......

"Xie Zhai, master. ”

Chao Gai was still very grateful to Qin Yu in his heart, although he kept saying that he was going to behead him, but it was all for the purpose of establishing military law, and now he was even looking for an excuse to expose the punishment of the military stick.

"Chao thanked you. ”

After thanking Qin Yu, Chao Gai thanked many leaders who interceded for him one by one, some were friends, and some had only known each other for a few days, but they all did so, which deeply touched Chao Gai.
