Barren Mountain Week Camp

Handsome tent

Zhu Changsheng, who had not changed his clothes, was dressed in dust, his clothes were disorderly, his hair was messy, and he sat on the main seat in the tent, his face was extremely gloomy and ugly.

The main general kept a straight face and did not say a word, and the generals who had just withdrawn from the battalion below and the generals of the Zhou army who stayed behind did not dare to stand up at this juncture, and they all stood silent, and the entire tent was silent.

"Newspaper~"

With a trombone, an eight-grade thousand households covered in blood broke into the handsome tent, kneeling on one knee with a sad face.

"Counselor, General Song......... He was martyred. ”

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked and their faces were full of disbelief.

Only Zhu Changsheng raised his head and closed his eyes, quietly leaving two lines of tears.

In fact, all the departments of the Zhou army withdrew to the camp one after another, and only the deputy general Song Xiaoshan was nowhere to be seen, combined with the fact that he led 300 cavalry to rescue Zhou Changsheng, many people speculated that the old general was likely to have died.

It's just that there is no corpse, and everyone is not sure, so Zhu Changsheng sent people to look around, and now that the news is confirmed, the handsome tent that was already in a gloomy atmosphere has plummeted.

Song Xiaoshan's status in this army is not low, especially during Suo Yaxin's serious illness and Zhu Changsheng's ascension, the military affairs of the whole army up and down rely on the help of the old general.

Song Xiaoshan was already old, generous in governing the army, and was deeply respected by these junior soldiers, but now when he learned the bad news of his death, all the generals were quite sad.

…………

After a long time, Zhu Changsheng came back to his senses, and asked the thousand households who reported the news in a dumb voice.

"Can you find out how the old general was martyred?"

Qianhu's face turned red, and he replied with a fist: "The old general led the cavalry to help...... Pursuing Yan Kui, on the way to meet Yan Thief returning to the division, the old general had few soldiers, and finally he was outnumbered and killed by Yan Thief himself. ”

In order to save Zhu Changsheng's face, Qianhu said very tactfully, but everyone in the tent understood the voiceover in his words, and the expressions on their faces were different.

It's Yan Kui again.........

The temples on both sides of Zhu Changsheng's forehead jumped straight, his eyes were slightly red, and he hated Yan Kui to the bone.

As a party concerned, he instinctively ignored the cause and effect behind Song Xiaoshan's death, and then completely attributed the matter to the murderous Yan Kui.

It's just that Zhu Changsheng, who was full of resentment towards Yan Kui, didn't notice that after the generals below heard the reason for Song Xiaoshan's death, their eyes suddenly became a little strange when they looked at him.

To put it bluntly, the facts are here, Zhu Changsheng can deceive himself, but he can't deceive others, Song Xiaoshan's death, no matter how you look at Zhu Changshan, he will bear a large part of the responsibility.

If it weren't for the fact that he was chased and killed by Yan Kui, the old general was in a hurry, and gathered a few cavalry to come to the rescue, how could he meet Yan Kui who returned with a feather, and then died tragically on the battlefield.

Of course, it was Yan Kui who killed people, but if it weren't for Zhu Changsheng's improper command and putting himself in danger, how could the old general die in battle.

……………

Zhu Changsheng was originally a civil official, although he was the chief of the Liwang Mansion, his identity was sufficient, but his qualifications were too shallow.

As a literati who has never served as or commanded any of the main generals, although Zhu Changsheng was ordered by Ji Linbing to take over the command of tens of thousands of troops in Tuxian County, he also knows that the generals of Zhou Yingzhong in Tuxian County must be unconvinced by him in their hearts.

Later, with the help of Song Xiaoshan, Zhu Changsheng reorganized the army, sorted out military affairs, and then led his troops to attack, although he did not achieve many great results against the Jin army, but he also fought well, and slowly, Zhu Changsheng also redeemed the impression in the hearts of the generals of the Zhou army.

Until today, the impression that Zhu Changsheng had worked so hard in the hearts of the generals of the Zhou army collapsed directly.

Frankly speaking, the losses of the Tuxian Zhou army this time were not very large, counting the 300 cavalry of Song Xiaoshan, the loss of soldiers and horses was more than 1,000.

Although a deputy general died, there were two precedents of Yu Wen and Sun Yanchu before, and by comparison, the defeat this time was not too miserable.

But the key to this battle is not how much the Zhou army lost, but

The face of Zhou Jun in Tuxian County was too miserable.

The main general was chased by others for dozens of miles like a lost dog, and was almost captured by his life, and the reason for this is also very ridiculous.

When attacking the camp, the enemy sent a cavalry out to attack the rear of the Chinese army, and in the case of sitting on three times the strength of the enemy, the defense line was directly penetrated by a few charges of the enemy general, so that people could directly take their own generals.

After that, it would be even more embarrassing to say it, the lord general had hundreds of elite guards, not only did not stick to wait for help, but did not divide the troops and fled, was attacked by others, and the killing was defeated, and finally relied on the lord's life to escape.

This is not an ordinary humiliation, it is simply throwing the face of Zhou Jun of Tuxian County on the ground and stepping on it, and he spit on several mouthfuls of foam.

…………

Before, Suo Ya Dou was defeated and was taken away by Yan Kui, although he was ashamed, he could still say that his skills were not as good as others.

But this time, Zhu Changsheng led his troops to overturn, and was killed by Yan Kui's 800 cavalry, and he was chased for dozens of miles.

The generals of the Zhou army here felt that Zhu Changsheng did not understand military affairs and commanded indiscriminately, which led to the humiliation of the Zhou army in Tuxian County, and the innocent death of the veteran, but they didn't know that Zhu Changsheng was also scolding them in his heart for being wasteful and useless.

To tell the truth, Zhu Changsheng is not wrong to scold his generals, although he is not effective in command, the pot of the generals is not small.

If it weren't for their lack of combat skills, they were unable to encircle Yan Kui for a long time, and then they were rushed out of the defense line by Yan Kui under the advantage of troops, causing the main general in the rear to be in danger, and the defeat is still unknown.

It may be that this defeat was too miserable, everyone's mentality was unbalanced, and they all wanted to throw the responsibility outward, although Zhu Changsheng and the generals didn't say anything on their faces, they quietly pointed the finger at each other in their hearts.

The next day, after paying homage to Song Xiaoshan, Zhu Changsheng convened a meeting and openly asked the generals who participated in the war yesterday, and those generals would definitely not do it.

They were already resentful and dissatisfied with Zhu Changsheng, but under Zhu Changsheng's sharp reprimand, they could no longer suppress their anger, and they even ignored the dignity of the army and united to attack Zhu Changsheng in front of all the generals.

Several people also said that yesterday's defeat was completely caused by Zhu Changsheng, the main general, and the old general Song Xiaoshan was martyred, and the reason was also to rescue Zhu Changsheng.

Now that Zhu Changsheng wants to evade responsibility, let them carry the black pot, they are not convinced, and they want to go to the General Pass to find the general Li Wang to comment.

……………

As soon as the words of several people came out, all the contradictions and hidden dangers of Zhou Jun's beauties about yesterday's battle were completely detonated.

Zhu Changsheng, who was furious, directly ordered all these generals to be dismissed and imprisoned, and arbitrarily put all the responsibilities on a few people, wrote a letter and sent someone to the king, preparing to settle the matter.

Zhu Changsheng's extreme disposition undoubtedly angered the remaining generals of the Zhou army, and they were particularly disgusted and disgusted by Zhou Changsheng's handling of this matter.

Today, Zhu Changsheng can use his power to bully his colleagues, and tomorrow, will he be able to treat himself like this?

Under the anger and vague fear, the generals of the Zhou army began to realize that Zhu Changsheng's mentality collapsed under the influence of yesterday's defeat, and began to blindly stubborn and obstinate himself.

To put it bluntly, this famous man of the Western Zhou Dynasty, stimulated by failure, has already gone a little crazy............

Realizing this, the generals felt that Zhu Changsheng was no longer suitable to serve as the commander of the Zhou army in Tuxian County, otherwise there would be a big problem, so the thoughtful Zhou army generals began to act.

They first sent people to rescue several generals who were arrested by Zhu Changsheng, and then led troops to surround the Zhou army commander's tent, put the angry Zhu Changsheng under house arrest, and asked Suo Ya, who was still sick, to preside over the overall situation, and then jointly wrote to Ji Linbing, explaining the cause and effect of the matter, and letting him decide on the public judgment.

…………

"Mutiny, you are a mutiny, this is a big taboo, King Li will not let you go."

Zhu Changsheng was placed under house arrest in the tent, his face was furious, and he scolded Suo Ya and the generals who came to visit him.

In the face of Zhu Changsheng's scolding, the generals of the Zhou army were expressionless, the matter had already been done, and it was too late to say anything, and although the mutiny was taboo, they also had a reason, and King Li could not punish them too heavily in order to avoid suspicion.

The law does not hold the public accountable.

When they coerced tens of thousands of soldiers to ask for the removal of Zhu Changsheng, Ji Linbing couldn't resist it, not to mention Ning Dewu, who stirred up the wind and rain, if King Li didn't want these generals to throw their soldiers and horses into the Hou Party tent, he would have to make a trade-off.

These generals are not reckless men with hot heads, they dare to do it, and they have already thought of a way out.

It's great to be a second or fifth boy, take refuge in the Ning family, the Ning family's military power is limited, and they must be willing to expand their strength, and by the way, they will also weaken their rival Ji Linbing.

Zhu Changsheng also has a rough idea of these situations in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he is so out of shape, he lost the battle before, and it is already embarrassing enough to be chased and killed for dozens of miles, if he is ousted from the position of the main general by the mutiny under his command again, how should he mix in the court in the future.

"Ahem........."

Suo Ya, who covered his mouth and coughed from time to time, was still recuperating from his illness, looking at his old friend Zhu Chang's angry and depraved expression, his pale face flashed unbearable.

But he is not easy to help one side, on the one hand, he is an old friend for many years, and on the other hand, he is a subordinate who has lived and died with him for several years, and it is inappropriate for him to speak for anyone.

If it weren't for the generals who were forced to die, half-begging and half-forcing to help him out as a banner, Suo Ya really didn't want to lie in this troubled water.

"If Shudao is taken down by the general, then the Tu County has changed the main general twice and defeated the Jin army several times, and the people will inevitably be panicked and demoralized.

Alas, I am afraid that soon the Shuai Tent side will change its strategy against the Yanlin Jin army, either increase the troops and attack fiercely, or withdraw the troops to reinforce other battle points. ”

Looking at the tension in front of him, the atmosphere was full of hostility, Suo Ya sighed, and the already depressed mood during this time was even more exciting.

"When the general finishes this matter, let's leave here and return to the rear to recuperate........."

…………

Suo Ya, who had already begun to prepare to return to the rear, received a reply from Ji Linbing two days later.

As expected, Zhu Changsheng was removed from the post of chief general and returned to the general pass for accountability, and the punishment of the generals was not light, all those who participated in the mutiny were demoted by one level, and the few who took the lead were demoted by two levels.

On the surface, it is barely possible to play fifty boards each, but whether there will be any impact in the future, no one knows, and they don't worry about it.

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

Of course, just as Suo Ya guessed, in addition to Ji Linbing's punishment for the defeat and mutiny of the generals, because the Zhou army of Tuxian County had repeatedly lost, the Shuai Tent was completely disappointed in the Zhou army of Tuxian County.

Ji Linbing ordered that Tuxian County leave 15,000 Zhou troops to defend the Yanlin Jin army, and the rest of the troops listened to the general's order and transferred to various battle points for reinforcements.

At the end of September, Suo Ya, who was temporarily appointed as the chief general of Tu County, commanded the Zhou army to withdraw from the barren mountain Zhou camp and the valley camp.

After receiving the information, Qin Qi, who had a cautious personality, confirmed the withdrawal of the Zhou army after several temptations, and immediately sent troops to occupy the valley camp and Tushan, and rebuild the Pinzi defense line to prevent the Zhou army from returning.

However, Qin Qi also knew in his heart that since the Zhou army gave up the hard-earned valley camp, he probably would not come to attack Yanlin again.

The task of the Yanlin defense line was successfully completed, and how the Yanlin Jin army would go in the future had to wait for the military orders from above.........
