Chapter 56: Right and Wrong
Liu Chengyou's side, staying in Tuanchi Village, slept peacefully, recuperated enough, and waited for dawn before he went south over the mountain under the escort of the pro-army subordinates.
Along the way, the battle situation ahead continued to come, which can be described as continuous good news, which made Liu Chengyou feel extremely happy. Through the mountains and mountains, the green forest, even if the sword is broken along the way, and the corpses are in the wilderness, they are not affected at all.
By the time Liu Chengyou got out of the mountain pass and rushed to the place where Geng Chongmei died, the battle had already ended. Most of the Yan soldiers were captured, and they were honestly imprisoned in front of the steps. The armies in Hedong camped on the spot to rest, cleaned up the battlefield, rescued the wounded, and counted battle losses.
The battle was fought easily, there were not many casualties, and the results were fruitful, and the whole camp was silent in a relaxed atmosphere.
Liu Chengyouzhi, the generals of all the armies, led the crowd to greet each other, and everyone was happy.
"The soldiers have worked hard!" Dismounted in front of the camp, Liu Chengyou's gentle attitude showed that he was in a good mood.
"It all depends on His Highness's command and strategizing to achieve this victory!" Zhang Yanwei stood at the front, his eyes, face and mouth were full of joy, and he licked it happily.
"How can Lone fight with the soldiers, fight for death and danger, chase the dead and chase the north, Lone is in mind!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Let's go, go into the camp and talk." ”
Entering the camp to inspect the room, the soldiers of the army and battalion, when they saw Liu Chengyou, they didn't know who took the lead, and shouted "Wansheng", and the sound of the mountain continued for a long time before dispersing.
"This is Geng Chongmei?" In the military tent, Liu Chengyou sat down with a golden sword, pointed to the head offered by Zhang Yanwei, and said casually.
"Back to Your Highness. Precisely! Zhang Yanwei said.
"It's so dark!" Liu Chengyou looked at it a little, looked ugly as an "old chief", waved his hand and ordered people to withdraw, and sighed casually: "Originally, I wanted to explore the reality of the Khitan people from his mouth, but now it seems that there is no chance." That's it! ”
"Your Highness, after statistics, since last night's battle, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Liao army have been killed, more than 1,600 people have been captured, and the rest have fled and escaped. Thousands of armor and more than 100 horses were seized...... In addition, after the headquarters of General Li Rui, after going south, he also gained a lot. The profits and losses of each army still need to be counted in detail and detailed in a table. Sit down, Guo Rong got up and said to Liu Chengyou competently.
"It seems that there is a lot of gain in this battle." Liu Chengyou nodded, groaned slightly, turned to Li Wanchao, and said: "Our army won this complete victory in this battle, the general led the crowd to take a detour, intercepted the enemy's rear road, worked hard, and was willing to take risks, which should be the first credit!" ”
As soon as Liu Chengyou's words fell, all the generals and colonels couldn't help but set their eyes on Li Wanchao, the new attached general, but no one expressed any objections.
Li Wanchao was very surprised, but he met Liu Chengyou's gaze, grinned, and bowed obediently: "Your Highness is still well-planned, and the general is just following the order." ”
The corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth curled up rarely, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "As for the soldiers of the other military camps, they are all recorded, and he will be rewarded according to his merits every day!" ”
"Your Highness!"
"Pack up, the whole army will continue to go south, go down to the village to the highest level, and rest!"
"Yes!"
"Your Highness!" This military discussion should have ended in a harmonious atmosphere, however, there was still a bit of disharmony.
It was Sun Li, the commander of the Second Army, who stood up, and saw him with a straight face, and said to Liu Chengyou: "The last general has a good feeling." ”
Slightly surprised, Liu Chengyou raised his hand and signaled: "General Sun, please speak." ”
"The last general sued Dutou Yang Ye, arrogant and arrogant, and difficult to control. In order to compete for military merit, snatching Geng Chongmei's head, he did not hesitate to use his hands and seriously injured the robe...... "Commander Sun opened his mouth, and poured bitter water with righteous indignation.
Hearing his eyes, Liu Chengyou's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he looked at Sun Li seriously: "Comrades fight each other, according to military law, but it is a capital crime, General Sun, you should be cautious when you say this!" ”
"If the last general is false, he is willing to bear the military law!" Sun Li arched his hand, looking hateful and confident: "The injured brother is just outside the tent, His Highness might as well summon him and confront him face to face!" ”
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little solemn, and the generals and colonels looked at each other, and most of them had heard of the battle on the battlefield.
"Pass him in!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand.
Soon, a stout soldier with a head dressed walked in. But the image is a bit miserable, and there are several colors hanging on the body, bandaging. When he saw Liu Chengyou, he bowed down directly.
"These injuries are all caused by Yang Ye?" Liu Chengyou's brows furrowed, and his suspicious gaze swept over him.
Sun Li took the initiative to take over the words, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense about this, and said: "These injuries were all suffered by him in the fierce battle. It seems that such a strong man who dares to fight and is good at fighting has been deceived by Yang Ye, so please call the shots. ”
"Tell me, what's going on?" Liu Chengyou retracted his gaze and asked Nadu.
This man doesn't seem to be good at words, and he talks a lot, but he finally makes things clear. Probably, he first led people to find Geng Chongmei's body, and Yang Ye came later, and in order to fight for the decapitation, he had a conflict with Yang Ye, fists and feet, suffered losses, and suffered internal injuries. also deliberately emphasized that it was Yang Ye who made the first move......
Listening to his narration, Liu Chengyou secretly pondered for a moment and glanced at Sun Li. After thinking about it again, he raised his eyes and looked at Murong Yanzhao, who had not spoken: "General Murong, Yang Ye is a member of your Fourth Army, do you have an explanation for this matter?" ”
In the face of Liu Chengyou's questioning, Murong Yanzhao took a step forward and replied respectfully: "There is a matter of fighting for merit; It is also true that fists and feet are facing each other. Yang Ye did it, but he was responsible, but what caused the contradiction, please ask His Highness to investigate it in detail! ”
As Murong Yanzhao spoke, his eyes calmly glanced at Commander Sun, obviously there was something in his words.
"Your Highness!" At this time, Guo Rong took the initiative to stand up and said flatly: "If you want to confront you face to face, how can you listen to the words of the family." You might as well call Yang Ye and listen to what he has to say! ”
"If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark, this statement is reasonable!" Liu Chengyou immediately spoke out.
After a pause, Liu Chengyou said again: "However, there is no need. Guo Inspection, this matter will be investigated by you in detail, and you will have full authority to deal with it! ”
Hearing the order, Guo Rong immediately responded: "Yes!" ”
"The merits, there is a way to say it, it's all gone!" Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou waved his hand, and as he spoke, he glanced at Sun Li and Nadu.
"General Guo, you have always enforced the law impartially, and there will definitely be no bias in the handling of this matter......" After the account was dispersed, Sun Li took the initiative to find Guo Rong, looked at him with oppressive eyes, and "reminded" him.
Guo Rong was not afraid of him at all, he smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and responded to him indifferently: "Please rest assured that Commander Sun!" ”
......
The army assembled, and soon took the prisoners, took the booty, and went south to Gaoping to rest.
"How, what was the result?" In the evening, in the second hall of the Gaoping County Ya, Liu Chengyou asked Guo Rong, who came to report.
Guo Rong's expression was calm, and he replied impartially: "The last general has already inquired one by one, and it was indeed Yang Ye who made the first move, but it was Sun Han who started the fight!" ”
"How?"
"Yang Ye used this battle merit to compensate, exempted from capital crimes, demoted to three levels, twenty rods, and transferred to the cavalry to feed the horses; Sun Han, demoted by one level, exempted; The rest of the soldiers who participated in the brawl were all transferred to the camp! Guo Rong replied.
"Hmm!" Liu Chengyou answered softly, which can be regarded as the disposition of Guo Rong who recognizes.
Maybe there is something else hidden in it, but it doesn't matter. took the lead in making a move on Pao Ze, which is already a big taboo, even if it is Yang Ye, he must be punished.
"Then Sun Han, what is the relationship with Sun Li?" After a few moments, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked faintly.
"It's Commander Sun who makes his nephew ......"
"Oh......"
