Chapter 548: The Defeated Will Retreat Back to Chenyang (continued)
Therefore, Wen Chou could only obediently listen to his lord's fate towards him, and sure enough, he heard Liu Bei say: "Wen Chou, because of your negligence, in the end, our army lost Youyang, can you be guilty?" β
"The subordinates are guilty, and please punish the lord!"
It's actually not very useful to say this now, but how to say it, in Wen Chou's opinion, it is better to express his attitude in front of his lord and make it clear. At least even if he sues everyone, he admits his mistakes, and he is not afraid that his lord will punish him. And I really have to say that my lord is right to punish him, and he deserves it, so it should be like this, who let himself be careless, who let himself ......
Liu Bei nodded, and then said again: "Youyang is lost, you have a lot of responsibility, although it is a capital crime that can be avoided, but a living crime cannot be escaped!" Therefore, a fine of one year and fifty more strokes of the staff, shall you accept it? β
When Wen Chou heard it, fifty canes were really a lot for himself, but what else could he say, his lord's punishment was already very good, it was a big face-
So he hurriedly said, "Subordinates serve!" β
Although I was not so convinced in my heart, I still said it respectfully, because no matter what I said, it was inevitable that I would be beaten, and I still had to be outside the door, maybe I would be seen by everyone. But even if they don't look at it, they all know about it, and they let it out. Shame on you, shame on you, what else can you do.
Liu Bei nodded slightly. Then he instructed the soldiers: "Come on, bring Wen Chou down." Fifty rods! β
"No!"
Two soldiers entered the house, said offended to Wen Chou, and then took him down. So in the courtyard, he brought Wen Chou fifty canes. To tell the truth, Wen Chou is indeed a character, and the fifty cane is a real fight, but it is definitely not fake, so it may not hurt, but he endured it. Not a word. Except for a heavy gasp, he gritted his teeth, and was beaten by the sergeant with fifty rodsβ
In the end, Liu Bei directly asked the soldier to take Wen Chou down, and asked the doctor to show him the injury, after all, although the place where he hit was the most meaty, but this has already opened the skin and flesh, so he has to let the doctor take a look, in case it is not handled well, it is indeed a problem.
To say Liu Bei's other subordinates. Seeing Wen Chou like this, it is somewhat unnatural. But only Wen Ping, he has a trace of pride in his heart. In his opinion, this is a bad time for him to defend the city. His own lord also punished himself. Now it can be regarded as "feng shui turns", and when I come to my house today, this is my own end. It's good that Wen Chou was beaten. Balance yourself a lot.
Isn't it, when Wen Ping passed by Youyang before. It's not that he didn't think about how he would be beaten if Wen Chou made a mistake like himself, even worse than his own mistake. As a result, what I thought, today is really realized, although I don't want my city to be lost, but this person was beaten like himself, and even punished more severely than himself, which he saw, but really, his heart is much more balanced.
This person is really afraid of comparison, so after comparison, Wen Ping really felt that he didn't seem to be anything at the beginning-
Speaking of which he is ugly, he is definitely deeply loved by his lord, and he is definitely very respectful. Compared with him, he is indeed a little behind.
But now that Wen Chou made a mistake, his father-in-law also said that he would beat him, so Wen Ping really didn't feel that he had been wronged at the beginning. Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but in front of everyone, he lost face, and he was somewhat concerned about this matter.
But now that he saw Wen Chou also being beaten, his heart was balanced, he felt much better, he could accept it, and he knew that it was nothing at all.
As a result, before Liu Bei could say anything more to everyone, he heard the soldiers report: "Report to the lord, General Wei Yan has returned with his troops!" β
When Liu Bei heard this, he said in his heart, he was waiting for him! Not for anything else, Liu Bei just wanted to learn more about the situation from Wei Yan, after all, his person has never been in Chenyang, so he doesn't know the more specific situation-
Of course, he didn't think that Wei Yan would lie to him about anything, in Liu Bei's opinion, this Wen Ping and Wen Chou were both in Chenyang, so if Wei Yan really dared to say something false, then there were several of them to confront him, and in the end, it was not easy to know who told the truth and who told the lie. Although Liu Bei said that he thought that he was not so strict with his subordinates, but when it came to his subordinates, no one dared to lie and lie to deceive himself, it was impossible. At least now, I haven't found out.
It didn't take long for Wei Yan to come up, with his armor on his body, but everyone could see that this was really the general of the defeated army, this wolf bèi, although it was not too wolf, but compared with other people's normal, it was not difficult to see anything.
Wei Yan hurriedly gave Liu Bei a salute, "The lord is above, and his subordinates have seen the lord!" β
Of course, there is no need to give a big gift, so even if Wei Yan is in armor, it is not a big deal.
Even though Liu Bei had a lot of words in his heart, he still nodded, "Wen Chang is back, speaking of which, we are waiting for you!" βββ
To be honest, Wei Yan really didn't understand what his lord meant, and he hadn't reacted yet, so he hurriedly asked, "This, what does the lord mean?" β
Liu Bei could see that Wei Yan really didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "Before Zhongye came back from Lingyang, he said ......"
In the end, Liu Bei asked directly; "Wen Chang, you are standing still in Lingyang, I don't know if you have an explanation for this matter?"
As soon as Wei Yan heard it, he knew in his heart that the emotion was that Wen Ping said in front of the lord that he was not. Alas, it's not that I can't understand the other party at all, if I say that I am his writer, I guess it will be like this in the end. But I have to say, this Wen hires Wen Zhongye is really not interesting enough, do you think you want to be like that, but he is good, he came back early and said that he was not here with his lord, but really, the two of them were both people in the Jingzhou Army, even if they had different identities, but they all knew each other, but they never thought that this ......-
Wei Yan didn't complain about Wen Ping, of course it was impossible, he was very resentful, especially after knowing what Wen Ping did in Chenyang, he felt that Wen Ping was not interesting enough. Even if the relationship between the two of them is not so good and good, it will not be evil, but now, Wei Yan knows that Wen Ping will not have any deep friendship with him in his life. For his own sake, he must have betrayed his friends. Anyway, the two can be regarded as acquaintances, but now they ......
Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Lord, my subordinates have something to say!" Although his subordinates don't want to defend themselves, there are some things, but they still don't explain them clearly, no! β
Liu Bei nodded slightly when he heard this, "Chief Wen, please speak, I also want to hear what you want to say, after all, I don't know the specific situation on the front line!" β
As soon as Wei Yan heard this, he knew that as long as he told the truth, even if he was defeated twice in a row, his lord would not punish him too harshly. After all, there are some things here, and I don't think I blame myself, how to say it, I am also helpless -
So immediately, Wei Yan explained to Liu Bei, "Lord, I want my subordinates to be ordered to ......."
If you want to say that there are indeed two words, he didn't say anything wrong with Wenpin, but instead said something about himself that is not very good, but none of them are false, they are all in his heart, and Liu Bei can still tell the difference. After all, he is the hero of the world after all, even if Wei Yan is a character, but in front of Liu Bei, he is not enough to see. Speaking of which, he is a general, who can lead more than 100,000 horses at most, and the rest, except for martial arts, he is not as good as Liu Bei.
Don't look at how hypocritical Liu Bei is, but he is indeed a person with real ability, whether it is Cao Cao or Ma Chao and Sun Ce, there is no one who does not admit it. Even if they don't look down on Liu Bei when they talk about it, they all admit his ability. If you want to say that Liu Bei has no ability, is it possible for him to get to this point, isn't that a joke?
Liu Bei is indeed a person with real skills, not something that ordinary people can compare.
After listening to what Wei Yan said, Liu Bei knew a lot, and he also knew that Wei Yan didn't dare to lie to him, and what he said was the truth. (To be continued......)
