By the light of the fire, Wu Liren saw that Mu Guiying's face was pale at this time, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he probably guessed that she was injured, so he hurriedly rode over and asked loudly: "Dare to ask if Your Excellency is Mu Guiying Mu Zhai's master?" ”

At this time, Sun Erniang saw Wu Liren coming over, carefully guarded the side, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?" Is it Wu Ming? That Zhou King Wu Ming? ”

Wu Liren laughed and said, "It's this king!" ”

Mu Guiying hurriedly turned over and dismounted, arched his hand and said: "Mu Guiying, a grass man, visited King Zhou, I understand that they are all people from the countryside, and they don't understand etiquette, if Erniang offended King Zhou just now, I hope King Zhou will forgive me!" ”

Just now, Sun Erniang called Wu Liren's name, although Wu Liren didn't think much about it, but Mu Guiying wanted to take refuge in Wu Liren.

"It's okay, Lord Mu Zhai is injured? Go to a doctor for treatment. Sun Erniang, you take good care of the master of Mu Zhai, and this king will go to capture Han Shizhong! ”

Sun Erniang was stunned for a moment, Wu Liren knew that Mu Guiying could still understand that she had not reported herself to her home when they met, how could Wu Liren know that she was Sun Erniang?

However, Sun Erniang didn't have time to think about these at this time, she helped Mu Guiying and said very worriedly: "Village master, since King Zhou is here, let's leave first!" You've bled a lot! ”

Mu Guiying looked at Wu Liren and said with some worry: "King Zhou, don't chase after the poor, besides, Han Zheng is not an idle person, be careful!" ”

Wu Liren nodded, at this time, the evil came after him, and when he saw Wu Liren, he immediately roared, "King Zhou can let the last general chase after him!" King Zhou's daughter is noble, don't be careless! ”

Wu Liren laughed and said, "General Wu, don't worry, the army has already chased after you!" Quick, taking advantage of Han Shizhong's lack of soldiers and horses now, it is best for this king to capture him in one battle! ”

At this time, the Shenwei army had already chased after him, and Wu Liren shouted: "Soldiers, kill the enemy with me!" ”

Wu Liren asked a few more people to escort Mu Guiying away, and he continued to chase after him with the Shenwei Army.

But after chasing for half an hour, he happened to meet Liang Hongyu with a large army to meet Han Shizhong, Wu Liren knew that Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu were not idle people, and now they only had 3,000 people, on the one hand, it was late at night, and at the same time they were not familiar with the terrain, so Wu Liren did not dare to fight hard, but still ordered a temporary retreat.

After Wu Liren and Pei Yuanqing, Xun You and others converged, Mu Guiying had also reunited with Lu Shiheng, Ji Xiaolan, Zhang Qing and others at this time. After a night of running and fighting, everyone was already tired, so Wu Liren asked everyone to have a good rest.

On the second day, Wu Liren summoned all the soldiers, as well as Lu Shiheng and Ji Xiaolan, to discuss the strategy of dealing with Han Shizhong.

It's just that Lu Shiheng, who came in first, immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty after seeing Wu Liren: "The last general has the trust of the king of Zhou, causing our army to lose soldiers and generals, and also losing more than half of the county towns in Donglai. ”

Lu Shiheng is the first general summoned by Wu Liren with points, and over the years, he has not had any accidents on the battlefield, and Wu Liren has to admire his luck. Wu Liren is a nostalgic person, considering that Donglai should not be in the area of the front line, there should be no big problems, so he handed over Donglai to Lu Shiheng for management. However, Wu Liren ignored that Gongsun Du of Liaodong dared to cross the sea and make his enemy.

"General Lu, please, although you are also responsible for this matter, but this king did not expect that Gongsun Du would be able to attack from the sea, so this king also has a certain responsibility. I don't blame you entirely for this matter, you will be fined for one year, and your official position will be reduced to a captain, can you be convinced? ”

Wu Liren did not punish Lu Shiheng, which made Lu Shiheng a little uneasy, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"The damage on your body is not good, so hurry down and rest!"

Lu Shiheng hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him and left.

At this time, Ji Xiaolan stepped forward and said loudly: "Ji Yun, the grass people, has seen King Zhou. The grass people have always heard that King Zhou is incomparably benevolent, and when they see it today, it is really extraordinary. It's just that General Lu was defeated, and King Zhou's punishment was so light, wouldn't it damage the prestige of the army? There is a cloud in the art of war: rewards and punishments can not be heavy, nor can they be light, if the reward is light, the people will not be persuaded, and if the punishment is light, the people will forget the fear; If the reward is heavy, people's hearts will be lucky, and if the punishment is heavy, people's hearts will be bored. Such a light punishment, although the grass people are white, they also think it is undesirable! ”

Wu Liren didn't expect Ji Xiaolan to come out at this time to give himself this play, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He looked at Wang Shouren beside him, Wang Shouren nodded, and said with a smile: "What Mr. Ji said is very true!" It's just that the way of reward and punishment is not immutable. Taigong said: It will be powerful to punish the big, to reward the small, and to punish and prohibit. Therefore, those who kill one person and three armies are shaken, kill them: reward one person and ten thousand people are pleased, and reward him. Kill the big, reward the small. Although General Lü was quite culpable, he was the first to follow the king of Zhou and saved the king of Zhou in danger many times. Because of its average ability, it can only defend the land of one county, and it cannot be used greatly, and its merits are difficult to appreciate. If you do it, you can offset it. Now the light punishment can make the soldiers understand the benevolence of our king, and it will make the soldiers of the three armies all happy with the virtue of the king of Zhou, why not? ”

Wang Shouren's words made Ji Xiaolan smile shamefully and said, "I was taught later!" ”

At this moment, I saw that outside the account, Sun Erniang helped Mu Guiying and walked in slowly, and at this time, Wu Liren really saw Mu Guiying's face clearly. Although he is still wearing a sassy and heroic village master suit, he still looks sickly, but it is still difficult to hide his handsome facial features and bright eyes. Wu Liren hurriedly asked: "Master Mu Zhai is injured, why did he come to the military tent again?" ”

Mu Guiying took a few steps forward and replied: "The king of Zhou is above, the grass people have fought with the Liaodong army for some time before, and I heard that the king of Zhou is discussing the matter of breaking the enemy, so I want to come to listen and learn, I wonder if the king of Zhou can allow it?" ”

Wu Liren naturally had no reason to refuse her, since Mu Guiying's body was fine, it would be okay.

After Wang Shouren finished talking about Lu Shiheng's punishment, he continued: "The Liaodong Army under the command of Han Zheng has good combat strength. ”

Hearing this, I saw Mu Guiying get up again and said, "Back to King Zhou's words, the grass people have already sent people to inquire before. Han Zheng came here, led an army of 10,000, and nearly 1,000 ships of all sizes, and now took all the coastal counties. In the last few battles, there should be two or three thousand casualties among the soldiers, plus one or two thousand people who surrendered before, maybe the people in the city may also be forcibly conscripted into the army, but there must be no time to train, and there should not be too much difference. ”
