In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Can sat on the main seat, and kneeling below were Huang Zhong, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang.

The three of them fell on their knees and pleaded guilty.

Huang Zhong can be innocent, because he saved Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, and he can even be called a great meritorious. However, he did not publish the letter sent to him by Wang Can, which is also not a small crime. Of course, Huang Zhong can say that he was pressed for time and forgot the contents of the release letter, but shirking responsibility is obviously not in line with Huang Zhong's behavior.

As for Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, the two of them were greedy and made big mistakes, so they could only wait for Wang Can's disposal.

In the big tent, on the left side stood Li Ru, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and other civil officials, and on the right stood Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Lu Meng and other military generals, civil and military columns.

This feeling is like three sessions of triage, and you have to prepare to deal with three people.

However, Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao were all ready and willing to accept punishment.

Wang Can's eyes swept over Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, sighed slightly in his heart, and then looked at Huang Zhong and scolded: "Huang Zhong, I sent a scout to deliver a message to you yesterday, asking you to lead the vanguard army to be cautious and not to be greedy for merit. When you get a letter from a scout, why don't you heed the advice and make a big mistake? ”

Pei Yuanshao frowned and asked, "Lord, what letter?" ”

After hearing this, Wang Can raised his eyebrows, his face changed greatly, and he asked loudly: "Huang Zhong, the two of them don't know?" ”

Huang Zhong knelt on the ground and replied truthfully: "Lord, the last general will be out of duty, please punish the lord." ”

Zhou Cang also had some doubts in his heart, but after thinking about Wang Can's words carefully, he understood that Wang Can must have sent a message to Huang Zhong and asked them not to be greedy for merit, but Huang Zhong did not tell the two.

In fact, even if the two knew about the letter given by Wang Can, it was impossible for them to listen to Huang Zhong's persuasion and not chase after Zhang Rafter. The two of them were in a hurry to make contributions and perform in front of Wang Can, and they would not follow Wang Can's advice to move forward honestly, so after Huang Zhong got Wang Can's letter, the result was the same whether he took it out or not.

Zhou Cang raised his head and said: "Lord, the greed for merit is what I and Lao Pei did, and it has nothing to do with Han Sheng, if it weren't for Han Sheng's rescue, Lao Pei and I would have been killed by Zhang Rafter, if you want to punish Han Sheng, please punish the last general!" ”

Wang Can saw Zhou Cang's defense, and shouted: "Your matter is put aside for the time being, and you are not allowed to speak if you are not allowed to speak." ”

"No!"

Zhou Cang's face was bitter and he agreed.

He and Pei Yuanshao both understood that even if they knew about Wang Can's letter, what happened last night would still happen, and it was impossible for the two of them to watch Zhang Rafter flee without chasing, so they didn't blame Huang Zhong for not taking out the letter.

Wang Can glared at Pei Yuanshao again and said, "Huang Zhong, put aside the matter of the letter for the time being, you first explain what happened last night, and don't add any oil and vinegar." ”

"No!"

Huang Zhong replied with his fists clenched, and 1510 told everything.

From the beginning, Zhang Rafter led the troops to attack the camp, he let the ambush soldiers kill and defeat Zhang Rafter, and then Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang led the troops to chase, he deduced that the two were ambushed by Zhang Rafter, and led the troops to rescue the two, and finally used a strategy to scare Zhang Rafter to retreat, and then the three returned to the camp with the surviving soldiers.

The whole process, without any falsehood.

After Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang heard this, they hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In any case, Huang Zhong's life-saving grace made them have to reciprocate. Although the two did not speak, they still nodded to prove that what Huang Zhong said was true.

"Shhh Hiss! ”

In the tent, there was a gasp of breathing.

The generals looked at Huang Zhong in astonishment, with an incredible look in their eyes. If they encounter such a situation, they will probably have no choice but to lead their troops to fight hard. Huang Zhong was bold and careful, and faked the illusion of the arrival of Wang Can's army, which scared away Zhang Rafter, who was bold and delicate, which made people have to admire.

Huang Zhong's plan to save Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang was very simple, but it made the Wenchen and military generals in the hall look sideways.

Even Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Li Ru nodded slightly, appreciating Huang Zhong's strategy.

It's one thing to talk about ordinary tactical deductions, but it's another thing to be able to change on the battlefield on the fly. Back then, Zhao Kuo talked about the army on paper, and he talked endlessly, even his father Ma Fujun Zhao Hao was difficult to refute, but after going to the battlefield, he only knew how to do it bluntly, and Huang Zhong could quickly come up with a strategy to deal with the enemy, which impressed the generals in the army.

After Wang Can listened, a look of satisfaction flashed on his face.

was able to save Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, but he also used his name to scare off the Xiliang army, so Wang Can still felt a little proud in his heart. After a pause, Wang Can asked, "According to what you said, although you broke more than a thousand soldiers, you also killed more than 2,000 Xiliang soldiers, but is it true?" ”

Huang Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Back to the lord, this matter is indeed true, if there is half a lie, I will be willing to be punished in the end." ”

He and Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang had made detailed statistics, and knew how many casualties were killed in this battle, and how many Xiliang troops were killed. Although the soldiers under his command were destroyed, it was also an achievement of theirs to kill so many Xiliang soldiers, so Huang Zhong was very aware of the number of Xiliang soldiers killed. If you add the 2,000 Xiliang troops killed at noon, the two battles together, they killed nearly 5,000 Xiliang soldiers, which is already a big victory.

Wang Can's expression softened slightly, he knew that the three of them had made meritorious contributions, but such an atmosphere had to be suppressed.

If the generals are greedy for merit, they will definitely return defeated.

Wang Can looked at Huang Zhong and knew that Huang Zhong was not guilty, but should be rewarded, but Huang Zhong secretly hid the envelope and did not tell Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, which made Wang Can a little unhappy. After a pause, Wang Can said: "Huang Zhong, you saved Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and killed countless Xiliang troops, the merits and demerits are offset, and they will not be investigated, if you commit it again next time, you will be severely punished." ”

Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

In fact, the punishment for Huang Zhong was relatively heavy, but Huang Zhong did not complain.

Wang Can turned his eyes, looked at Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and shouted: "You two don't listen to dissuasion, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers, what do you have to say?" ”

The two did not defend themselves, knelt on the ground and said, "The last general knows that he is guilty, please punish the lord." ”

The incident was caused by the two not listening to Huang Zhong's dissuasion, and the two did not defend themselves and directly accepted the punishment. In this way, it seems to be straightforward and resolute, and if you shirk responsibility, you will definitely be criticized by others.

Wang Can rolled his eyes and said: "It's good for you to confess your guilt, but you have also made great contributions, so I won't punish you heavily, get rid of your vanguard position and stay in the army." ”

After Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao heard this, they were anxious.

They would rather be beaten with a rod and dozens of sticks than lose their position as pioneers!

Zhou Cang hugged his fists and said: "Please give the last general a chance, let the last general make meritorious service and take the Meridian Valley." ”

Pei Yuanshao also hugged his fists and said: "Lord, you will punish the last general, the last general will still serve as the vanguard, take the Meridian Valley for you, and make meritorious contributions, please agree." ”

Wang Can sneered: "You are greedy for merit, reckless and impulsive, let you be the vanguard, wouldn't you let the soldiers go to death, no, absolutely not!" ”

The tone was decisive, which made everyone look sideways.

Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao hurriedly assured and asked Wang Can to let them continue to lead the troops.

Wang Can pondered for a long time, but still did not speak.

Zhou Cang saw that Wang Can did not let go, and his heart was anxious, and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to make a military order, if he is greedy and reckless, reckless and impulsive, the last general is willing to be punished!" ”

Pei Yuanshao also said: "The same is true for the last general! ”

Wang Can listened to the words of the two, and a smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

Guo Jia glanced at Wang Can, and then caught a glimpse of Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, who looked anxious, and secretly said that the two big black men didn't know that Wang Can's agitation method was really sold.
