Qindu, Chang'an, Taiji Palace.

Above the main hall, there are full of civil and military generals dressed in court clothes or armor, but at this time, everyone lowered their heads, silent, Fu Jian, who was sitting on the main seat, his face sank like water, staring motionlessly at the two people with their own shackles in the hall, just a month ago, these two people were still invincible, sitting on the generals of nearly 100,000 troops, but at this time they were like a pair of defeated roosters, kneeling here, wearing heavy flails, looking like a death row prisoner, is it not the two defeated generals of the Lianghuai War, Peng Chao is in trouble? !

Fu Jian hooked the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Peng Chao, you are guilty!" ”

Peng Chao's head has been buried on the ground, and he doesn't dare to raise it at this time, his voice is crying: "The minister underestimated the enemy army, causing the army to be wiped out overnight, and the ministers are guilty!" ”

Fu Jian gritted his teeth: "Is the Jin army really so strong, can it really be tens of thousands of Beifu soldiers, and it can wipe out your 80,000 army?" Lone still doesn't believe it, you give Lone, and then tell this Manchu Dynasty civil and military story, how did you lose! ”

Peng Chao raised his head, glanced at the difficulties around him, and said hatefully: "The combat effectiveness of the Jin army is indeed strong, and it only took three or five thousand people to eliminate the 20,000 iron cavalry of the previous army. It can be said that it was because he fled back from the battlefield like this, and it was impossible for me to even block the news, at this time, the news that the enemy army burned our Huaishui pontoon bridge came again, and the army's heart suddenly collapsed, out of control, overnight, tens of thousands of soldiers fled in the camp, and no military order could stop it. ”

Fu Jian's face was pale, he looked at the difficult people lying on the ground, and said coldly: "What Peng Chao said, but the truth?!" ”

Sweat beaded on his head, he gritted his teeth and raised his head: "The criminal general did fall for the tricks of the Jin people in front of him, and the whole army was wiped out, but Peng Chao didn't tell the truth, he knew that the pontoon bridge was burned and then he threw down the army and fled by himself, not that the army broke up overnight!" ”

Fu Jian said sharply: "Enough, until now, the two of you don't want to reflect on how to defeat the war, and you are still fighting for merit here, thinking that the two of you have been generals for many years and have meritorious service to the country, so I didn't kill you immediately, the purpose is to ask you to review how you were defeated in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but you all have to attack and accuse each other here, and do you still have a little general?" How can you be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in this battle! ”

Both of them trembled, how could they dare to refute, kowtow on the ground and remain silent, and their mouths even confess their guilt.

After Fu Jian finished scolding, he was in a better mood, sat back on the dragon chair, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, our army did not directly defeat the enemy army in this battle, the enemy army first set up an ambush in the camp, defeated Duyan's 5,000 men and horses, and then set up an ambush in Junchuan, eliminating more than 10,000 cavalry in your difficulty, and then raided the pontoon bridge on the Huaishui River, causing Peng Chao's army to collapse overnight, and it was not defeated in a dignified manner, right?" ”

The two raised their heads, glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time: "What the Heavenly King said is extremely true. ”

Fu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "This shows that the Jin army still does not have the ability to fight the elite of our army head-on, and can only rely on these virtual and real tricks to fight." If there is really strength, why not? When our army fights, it is to attack head-on with a dignified array without any suspense and smash all enemy resistance, which is the real strength. ”

Peng Chao hurriedly said: "The Heavenly King is mighty, everyone in the world knows it, and no one can stop it." The sin general has no skill, but as long as the king of heaven is gracious and can give the sin general a chance to make meritorious contributions, the sin will definitely return to Yanzhou, collect the lost soldiers, and drive the king forward, and be ashamed! ”

Ku Yan originally wanted to say the same thing, but when he thought that he had lost all his foundations, including the private soldiers, in this battle, it was impossible to brag, so he could only stay there and be speechless.

Fu Jian looked at the difficult appearance, and he was angry, and said in a deep voice: "20,000 cavalry, can't beat thousands of infantry, my Great Qin's national prestige and military prestige, I have lost a clean one for you, what's the use of leaving you!" Someone ............ coming."

Fu Rong saw that the situation was not good, this was difficult to obey orders under him for many years, and he was also an old subordinate, so he quickly stood up and said: "Heavenly King, although it is difficult to lose the army and humiliate the country, and he should be beheaded according to the crime, but after all, he is a veteran general for many years, this time our army is not good, and if he kills the general, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army, and please be merciful and spare his life." ”

Fu Jian sighed: "It's okay, the army is mourning, killing him alone is useless, pass the decree, put all the difficulties in prison and punish the crime, Peng Chao is relieved of all his duties, detained at home, and after the lonely person returns from the southern expedition, he will make a decision!" ”

Fu Rong's face changed, his eyes widened, and he was about to speak, but he heard two voices in unison, which sounded from behind him: "Weichen is willing to drive forward for the king of heaven, I wish the king a victory and dominate the sea!" ”

A satisfied smile bloomed on Fu Jian's face, but Fu Rong bit his lip, turned around and turned back to Murong Chui and Yao Chang behind him, and sneered: "I knew that you would jump out at this time and instigate the Heavenly King to send a large army to attack Jin!" ”

Speaking of this, Fu Rong turned back to Fu Jian and said: "Heavenly King, please keep calm, don't fall for the thieves' tricks, this time the two Huai fiascos are enough to prove that the new army of the Jin army, what is called the Beifu soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, and the Jiangdong monarchs and ministers are united, and they can't be taken lightly, at this time, you must not raise troops out of anger!" ”

Murong Chui's face was full of respect, and he smiled indifferently: "The minister thinks that Yang Pinggong's words are wrong, and this is a good time for us to destroy the Jin!" ”

Fu Jian remained silent, looked at Murong Chui, and said softly: "Why did General Murong say this, please try to say it." ”

Fu Rong said coldly: "Heavenly King, Murong is uneasy and kind, don't listen to him to be demagogic here. ”

Fu Jian's brows furrowed: "Yang Pinggong, please pay attention, this is a court discussion, General Murong is a general, the hero of this time to conquer Xiangyang, of course he has the right to speak, even if you have any dissatisfaction, it is not too late to refute after he finishes." General Murong, you say it, listen alone! ”

A hint of disappointment and helplessness flashed on Fu Rong's face, but he could only shake his head, salute, and stand aside to watch coldly, Murong Chui's expression was calm, and he saluted Fu Jian: "Weichen thinks that the battle between the two Huai just proves that the Jin army is weak, not strong, and the opportunity for our Great Qin to destroy the Jin in one fell swoop has arrived!" ”
