Chapter 563: Zhu Hao's attitude after the defeat
After Zhu Hao sat down in the main seat of the big tent, he looked at the dejected Cheng Yanjin Dao:
"General Cheng, don't you want to talk to this king about this battle?"
"Just now in the outer city, your General Cheng broke away from the people alone and entered the siege, isn't it very heroic?"
"Why is it that when you arrive in the king's tent, you are dumb?"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, he was ashamed, hung his head and said nothing, Gao Shun on the side, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward and explained:
"Your Highness, the outer city has indeed lost the battle this time, and the last general and others do have an unshirkable responsibility!"
"But this is really because Jianyu is very cunning, and he attacked our army at night, which led to a big defeat!"
"You can't blame General Cheng for it!"
"I hope that the prince will calm the wrath of the thunder first, and then give General Cheng a chance to make meritorious service to General Cheng!"
Zhu Hao listened to Gao Shun's words, his eyebrows condensed, and he shouted coldly:
"Presumptuous!"
"This king, ask General Cheng again, when did you ask you?"
"Besides, General Gao, as the main general of the outer city, you are already to blame, you don't think about your own faults, and you dare to intercede for others?"
"You said that Jianyu is cunning, you can't blame General Cheng?"
"Do you think you can explain this excuse to this king?"
Zhu Hao said, "Rub! He stood up, raised his voice a few points, and continued:
"Good! Even if this king accepts it, you have this excuse! ”
"The tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the outer city, can they accept your excuse?"
"You said that this king can't blame you all, do you let this king blame the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle?"
"You come and tell this king, do you mean that!"
Zhu Hao's last words were shouted hysterically.
Gao Shun listened to Zhu Hao's report on the number of dead in the battle, his expression darkened, he hung his head in shame, and retreated to the side, not daring to say anything more.
Zhu Hao saw Gao Shun's state, knew that Gao Shun was aware of his mistake, so he didn't say Gao Shun again, but said with a slow expression:
"General Gao, don't think that this king's words are too heavy!"
"These brothers followed this king, left their hometowns, and fought on the battlefield, and they sought to be crowned as wives and sons, not to die in a foreign land!"
"If they are not brave in battle and not skilled in learning, then they can only blame themselves for their death!"
"But today's matter, the fault is the king, the fault is you, let them hurt for no reason, so many people, this king is now burned inside, this king can't wait to die for them!"
"Because damn it's us, not them!"
Zhu Hao's words moved everyone in the big tent.
Because of this monarch-based thinking, in the feudal era under the teaching, no superior would attach so much importance to the life and death of soldiers.
Zhu Hao's words made the generals wake up deeply, and at the same time, they also thought of themselves, and these people were all glad to follow a coach who attached such importance to the life and death of his subordinates.
This invisibly made Zhu Hao's status in the minds of these generals much higher.
After Zhu Hao's words were finished, Gao Shun hung his head and said:
"Your Highness, caring so much about the life and death of the soldier is a blessing for the soldier, and it is also a blessing for us to wait for!"
"The last general just lost his word!"
"For the defeat of the outer city, the last general has an unshirkable responsibility, please punish His Highness!"
As soon as Gao Shun's words were finished, Cheng Biting Jin on the side raised his head instantly, his eyes were full of blood, and he pushed Gao Shun away:
"Hey, this is not a merit, what are you robbing from Lao Tzu?"
"Lao Tzu is the master of the outer city, and I will naturally bear the responsibility for this crime!"
"You get out of the way!"
After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Highness, the last general will be guilty!"
"Please punish Your Highness!"
Zhu Hao looked at Cheng Yanjin, who was kneeling on the ground, "Oh? He said, then:
"Are you guilty?"
"Then tell the king, what is your sin?"
Cheng Yanjin didn't notice that when Zhu Hao said this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he knelt on the ground and hung his head and said:
"The last general should not underestimate the enemy, let Jianyu have a chance, and cause tens of thousands of soldiers of our army to die tragically in the outer city!"
"You shouldn't be brave enough to break away from the soldiers and enter the enemy formation, causing chaos in our army, and even the prince is in danger, so he goes out of the city to rescue!"
Zhu Hao listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, bowed slightly, and then said:
"It sums it up very well, so according to my Ming military law, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Cheng Biting Jin listened to Zhu Hao's words, his heart trembled, and then he gritted his teeth and said:
"It's time to behead the public!"
Zhu Hao listened to Cheng Yanjin's words, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and then he said:
"In that case, you know everything, then ......"
Before Zhu Hao's words were finished, Gao Shun, who had just been pushed aside by Cheng Biting Jin, also knelt on the ground, and said with a firm expression:
"His Royal Highness's words just now, the last general knows that his sin is unforgivable, and he doesn't dare to intercede for General Cheng anymore!"
"However, as the deputy general of the outer city, the last general did not stop General Cheng in time, but instigated General Cheng to enter the enemy formation, and the last general is willing to die with General Cheng to correct the military law!"
"I hope Your Highness will be fulfilled!"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Gao Shun's words, looked at Gao Shun with red eyes, and said:
"Lao Gao, are you stupid?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Get out of the way, don't anger Your Highness!"
Cheng Yanjin said, hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Hao, and then said:
"Your Highness, this matter is completely the last general's willful action, and it has nothing to do with General Gao, and I hope His Highness will be aware of it!"
"Although the last general dies, there is no regret!"
Gao Shun listened to Cheng Biting Jin's words, his eyes were also red, and he pushed Cheng Biting Jin and said:
"Why don't you push Lao Tzu!"
"This matter is obvious, I didn't stop you, I am responsible, and you don't need to bear it!"
"Besides, at that time, in the midst of the siege, Lao Tzu made an appointment with you to go to Huangquan together!"
"Why don't you want to push Lao Tzu away at the last moment!"
"You ......"
Before Gao Shun's words were finished, he heard a burst of "pop!" Syllable! Syllable! The sound of stroking his palms interrupted his words to continue.
The sound of stroking the palm naturally came from Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao was already smiling and satisfied at the moment, stroking the palm and said:
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"You let this king see the noble character of my Ming army generals, who do not shirk, dare to take responsibility, and value love and righteousness!"
"This king believes that under the leadership of a virtuous general like you, our Ming army will completely eliminate the hidden danger of Jianyu, and it is just around the corner!"
Zhu Hao said, pausing slightly, and then continued:
"As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, and one is hard to find!"
"Now that you have realized your mistakes, this king is reluctant to kill a virtuous general like you!"
"Get up, all of you!"
"Besides, although you made a mistake this time, you have invisibly done this king a favor, and today's blood debt will definitely be repaid twice as much in the future!"
