"Lord Lin, in today's battle, the infantry led by the Liang Command is the key to victory, if it weren't for the Liang Commander to make a good plan, the infantry to change the formation quickly, and the formation to be arranged in an orderly manner, today's battle would not be so smooth. Even if there are some things that can't be taken care of, it is a slight flaw on the white wall, which is not hidden. If Commander Liang is to be punished, then who of you here today is not at fault? The cavalry brothers led by me also caused congestion when they entered the formation, causing a moment of confusion. The former Great Zhou cavalry who joined the army with me still had the behavior of privately defeating in the battle, if they were guilty, wouldn't it be even more dereliction of duty? If Liang Commander is to be held accountable, he must also be punished for his humble position, otherwise it will be an unfair move. In the silence, Ma Qingshan suddenly spoke.

"Exactly, what Deputy Commander Ma said is extremely true. I also reflected on the problems in today's battle, and if I made mistakes, the mistakes of our cavalry were even more serious. When the cavalry retreated into the formation, some generals fought for the road without permission, causing congestion. The Jurchens took advantage of the chaos to kill and wound thousands of our brothers. After entering the formation, the cavalry did not stay in the designated position in the formation according to the order. So much so that the road of the infantry firearms battalion was blocked, causing the consequences of delay. Lord Lin held Commander Liang accountable, and I can't escape the blame. Shen Tan asked for military punishment by court. Shen Tan bowed and said.

Shen Tan was the commander of the Luoyan Army, and Liang Qi was the commander of the infantry army, and this time the two commanders pleaded guilty themselves, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing. All the generals are subordinates of the two, and the chief officer pleads guilty, and the subordinate generals can be spared. In particular, some generals who violated discipline during the war were even more ashamed. So dozens of generals knelt down and pleaded guilty.

A celebration party turned out to be a sin party, and Guo Kun on the side was dumbfounded. Originally, when Lin Jue reprimanded Liang Qi, Guo Kun didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Liang Qi is Lin Jue's confidant general, and he is not good at interjecting, or he is happy to see Lin Jue deal with his own people.

Guo Kun has actually always had some pimples in his heart, that is, after he entered Funiu Mountain, like the old prince Guo Bing, he always felt that he lacked a sense of belonging to Funiu Mountain and Luoyan Valley. One of the important reasons is that they feel that the people in Luoyan Valley only recognize Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, and his Guo clan does not get the respect they deserve in the mountains. They could even feel the disdainful gaze of some of the generals in the Falling Goose Army. I felt that they had fled into the mountains to take refuge, and I didn't have enough respect for them. Although Lin Jue also explained, this thought has been haunting the hearts of Guo Bing and Guo Kun's father and son, and it has not been eliminated from his mind until Guo Bing died. One of the reasons why Guo Bing was depressed was also because he lost his dominance and sense of belonging after entering Funiu Mountain, so he was unhappy. And Guo Kunbi's father was slightly better, but the feeling in his heart lingered. Coupled with the words that Guo Bing said to himself before he died, Guo Kun invisibly gave birth to many ideas. Even though he repeatedly told himself not to think wildly and to unite wholeheartedly with Lin Jue, there were some things that he couldn't care about at all.

Among the generals of the Luoyan Army, Guo Kun naturally thought that Shen Tan and some palace guards as generals were his Guo Kun's people. And those other than that are Lin Jue's people. He invisibly divided the Luoyan Army into two factions, himself and Lin Jue. Subconsciously, he still hoped that his people could master the Falling Goose Army, although he himself knew that it was unlikely. But those little Jiujiu in my heart always pop up inadvertently. When Lin Jue wanted to deal with Liang Qi, he felt that it had nothing to do with him, and it was even beneficial to him. After all, Liang Qi only listened to Lin Jue. Lin Jue wanted to dispose of his own people, so he let him go. As for the reason, it doesn't matter.

But at this moment, Shen Tan jumped out to plead guilty, and also said some violations of military discipline in the battle of the cavalry he led, and wanted to admit his guilt, Guo Kun's heart was suddenly anxious. scolded secretly: What are you Shen Tan doing when you run out? What does it have to do with you? It's inexplicable.

Of course, he refused to let Lin Jue even punish Shen Tan. If Lin Jue dismissed Shen Tan as the commander of the horse army and replaced him with his own cronies, then he would not have a powerful person in the army. Although the Luoyan Army itself does not belong to him, he can't let this happen after all.

"Brother-in-law, what is this for? Today's battle is a big victory, not a big defeat, why do you start blaming the brothers? You see, it's good now, everyone is guilty, is it possible that everyone will be punished? Let me say, Brother Liang Qi is not at fault, and Shen Tan is not wrong, everyone has done their best today. As for some flaws in the battle, everyone should learn a lesson and correct them later. How can everything be perfect? You wrote your own words and said, 'The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows.'" For my sake, don't pursue it. Happy events should be funerals, I can't look past it. Guo Kun smacked his lips and said such a big deal.

Lin Jue frowned and thought for a while, "Since the prince said so, this punishment will also be waived." However, I would like you to reflect on yourself. The problems exposed today must never be seen again in the next battle. The two commanders of Ma Bujun should reflect on themselves, correct their mistakes and deviations, and never take them lightly. The next time I make the same mistake, I will never tolerate it. The two commanders wrote me a self-examination report, found out the cause, and proposed corrective measures, and the matter could be stopped. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, what Lord Lin said could no longer be regarded as punishment. Shen Tan and Liang Qi hurriedly agreed in unison. Then the generals got up and sat down.

Lin Jue glanced at the audience and said in a deep voice: "The prince said that my happy event should be done at the funeral, and I feel a little heart......broken when I hear this."

Guo Kun hurriedly said: "I'm quick to talk for a while, don't you care." ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "That's not just you thinking like this, the prince can think like this, and many of you here will think like this." You all think I shouldn't be here at this time of the day. It makes you feel uncomfortable. It's supposed to be a big victory, and you should really celebrate it, but I'm going to pick on you, it's a little impersonal, isn't it? ”

The generals hurriedly smacked their lips and said, "Don't dare, I didn't think so." ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything against your will, I can see it." I'm not a person who likes to take on the scenery, and the reason why I'm like this today is because I want to keep you awake for a long time. Among my fallen wild goose army, there have been a lot of bad things recently, and one of the biggest problems is arrogance, thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world and no one can beat him. Today's battle is won, and many of you are about to lift their tails to the sky. If I don't bring out your faults, I will suffer a great loss. ”

The generals smacked their lips and hung their heads, not daring to say more.

Lin Jue said coldly: "I might as well talk about it again and emphasize the situation to you." This battle failed to cripple the Jurchens, only wounded him in the skin, and what followed was bound to be an even more brutal battle. The more our strength is exposed, the more the Jurchens and the old thief Lu will hug us tightly. Before the war, the Lu thieves may still have fantasies, hoping to preserve their strength and let the Jurchens fight with us. But now, Lu Thief will inevitably cooperate with the Jurchens to deal with us. That's because we haven't been able to cripple the Jurchens today and force them to retreat. is still the same sentence, if you can't beat a wolf to death, it will be ferocious and more ferocious. If you don't understand this simple truth, you're going to disappoint me. If I don't wake you up at this moment, and let you indulge in the intoxication of arrogance, then my army will suffer a great loss. Recall how your men and horses behaved in battle, whether there was confusion, whether there was disobedience, whether there was cowardice and collapse. Let me say something you don't like to hear, if it weren't for the ferocity of our firearms, if it weren't for the foundation of our fierce and fierce battle of the Wild Goose Army, today's battle would have been a defeat. Everyone here is a joke in the mouths of the world. I suggest that you revisit the history of the founding of our Luoyan Army, and you will understand what kind of team my Luoyan Army is. And now, in your hands, what are they like? ”

Lin Jue's words were already extremely harsh. Sweat began to break down the backs of the generals' spines. It turned out that Lord Lin was really dissatisfied with today's battle. The mistakes in many details led to the failure of Lord Lin's strategic goals, and Lord Lin was really disappointed and worried. If you ask yourself, it's true that these people are a little fluttering. If you win the battle, you don't care about the problems in the battle, and your self-requirements are too low and too relaxed.

"My lord, don't say it, we ...... I really know that I am wrong. Someone muttered under his breath.

Lin Jue sighed and said softly: "That's it, I won't say much, they are all my own brothers, and they have just gone through the battle of life and death, and I can't hit you too much." After all, we won this battle by a big margin, and the significance of victory is still very great. After this battle, my Luoyan Army will be known to the world, and I can't keep a low profile and I don't have to keep a low profile. I have a major proposal that I would like to discuss with you. ”

The generals said, "Lord Lin, please speak." ”

Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Before, our Taoguang in Funiu Mountain raised obscurity, and the slogan we put forward was also to crusade against Guo Xu. Now that we have gone out to fight, we have shown our strength. Guo Xu also died at our hands, so it can be said that our previous goal has been achieved. As the so-called division is famous, Guo Xu is dead, so we need a clearer goal as the direction of our Luoyan army. Needless to say, you should all know that our goal is to drive out the enemy, crusade against the old thief Lu Zhongtian, and restore my Great Zhou Dynasty. In that case, we don't have to hide it. So my proposal is that we should support the prince as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and show the banner. I wonder what you think? ”

The generals were surprised when they heard this, but they also felt that it was reasonable. In fact, this incident will happen sooner or later, and everyone just thinks that they will talk about supporting the emperor after everything has settled after the dust has settled on Bianliang, and it is a little abrupt to come so early.

Guo Kun was ecstatic in his heart, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. This is what he wanted to say for a long time, but Lin Jue didn't dare to mention it at all if he didn't open his mouth. Now that Lin Jue finally said it, how could he not be ecstatic. However, he showed great surprise on his face, waved his hand and said, "This matter...... It's too hasty. Hu Lu has not been destroyed, the traitors have not been punished, a large area of rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of others, and Bianliang has not been taken, how can this be done? It's better to think long-term. ”
