I really didn't expect the reason for the matter to be like this, it's really a coincidence, as soon as the Gaomen here is relaxed, Han Jun will touch the door over there, if it weren't for knowing that Gongzi Yi is an old man of the royal family, Zhou Bian would almost suspect that he is a traitor. But there is still a doubt about this matter www.biquge.info that is, why Sima Tu suddenly drank heavily.

But it didn't matter that much, because whatever the reason, why did you do this when you knew that the enemy was outside the city, and it was the night of the king's meeting. Therefore, Sima Tu must pay for his mistakes.

Obviously, the next point of discussion is what price he will pay.

And when they heard the king's question, several important ministers, including the Taishi, were silent.

Several people looked at each other, and finally the master spoke.

"How does the king think he should be punished?"

Hmph, kicked the ball back again. "Taishi, how was my loss in Luoyang last night?"

I didn't think that the king suddenly changed the topic, the Taishi was stunned, but he quickly replied, "The king, the specific number is still unknown, but it is certain that the original guard of Gaomen was 2,000 people killed 1,000 and fled 1,000, Tu Qiang's 1,500 people died more than 800, Liu Yun's 2,000 people died 1,000, and the worst thing was Li Ding's 2,000 recruits, who resisted the Korean army head-on, and there were only 80 people left. Therefore, the total number of dead was not less than 6,000, and the number of seriously injured was at least 2,000. ”

"Eight thousand people, how many eight thousand people can there be in Luoyang? It's not enough to ask Sima Tu to resist his life. Zhou Bian said hatefully.

"The king wants to kill Sima Tu?" Taishi asked in a cautious whisper.

"If you don't kill this person, it's not enough to vent your anger." Zhou Bian's answer is a simple interest rate.

"But the king, the Han army is still outside the city, and it is unlucky to kill the generals before the battle." Taishi lowered his head and said more carefully.

"It's a joke, it's unlucky to kill it if it's so sluggish." Zhou Bian snorted coldly, but he didn't expect that the Taishi would intercede for it.

"King, Sima Tu is the queen of the clan, the prince of the world, the noble family, the etiquette said, the punishment is not a doctor, the so-called doctor, is like Sima Tu. If the royal family kills him, it will make the hearts of the wealthy families in the city cold. Taishi still whispered.

"Aren't the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city cold?" Indeed, this is an era in which the aristocracy dominates, even if Shang Ying severely punished a son of the Qin family later, he was scolded for a long time, and even in the end, the five horses were divided, although he was the son of heaven, but he also had to consider the factors of the times, so Zhou Bian had some concessions in his heart, but he still refused to let go.

I didn't want to be a princess, but I still refused to give up, and after crawling a few steps, I whispered, "My lord, Sima Tu is a person close to the Queen Mother, and the minister is afraid that the killing will chill the Queen Mother's heart." If my king insists on killing him, it is really unfilial piety, and it is not good to look good in front of his ancestors. ”

It's the queen mother again, Zhou Bian's anger came up again, but looking at the expectant gaze of the princess, thinking that it was the queen mother after all, Zhou Bian finally softened, "In this case, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inevitable, and the rod is one hundred, and he will be removed from his post, how about it?" ”

"Sima Tu, the sixth generation of the Sima Tu family, hurriedly removed Sima from his post for fear that he would not be able to explain before the Zongmiao, so it would be better to remove his military power and leave his post to raise him." Taishi still said cautiously.

"Well, since it's Sima, let's specialize in raising horses, and in the future, the horses of my royal family will be raised by him. Since the Taishi has said that he can't punish the doctor, then let him practice the stick by himself, whether it works or not, how to implement it, it is all up to him, and this king will not send someone to investigate. Zhou Bian couldn't help but be indignant, but after thinking about it carefully, after all, his heart was too soft, and he refused to grit his teeth and kill people, alas, after all, killing people is still a terrible thing, so be it.

It is true that for a nobleman, it is not a major crime of rebellion, it is really difficult to punish, but, I hope it will not cause dissatisfaction in the army.

So, the Taishi stopped arguing, and knelt on the ground, "The old man has thanked the king for Sima Tu." ”

"Then it's up to the Taishi to talk to Sima Tu, this king doesn't want to see him again." In fact, Zhou Bian's impression of Sima Tu was not very good at the beginning, Zhou Bian waved his hand, and the Taishi hurriedly retreated.

After being quiet for a while, he didn't know what the remaining ministers were thinking, so Zhou Bian turned his head to Ning Yue and asked, "Ning Qing, how was Luoyang City last night?" ”

"Your Majesty was about to report to the king, and there were several small disturbances in the west of the city last night, and your ministers went to quell them first, so they could not come to see the king. But they are all small riots, two of which are big families who think that Luoyang City is broken, and want to choose a way to escape, and three are suburbs outside the city who take advantage of the chaos to impact large households and want to grab some food, but there is a place where the Koreans in the city are in turmoil and want to build momentum for the Korean army, but they were soon arrested by the ministers and are currently being interrogated, and it seems that most of them are the remaining Korean spies. ”

"That's good." Zhou Bian nodded.

"Besides, last night, the Han army, the people cleaned up nearly 5,000 corpses in the morning, and another 200 surrendered, in addition to this, there may still be scattered Korean soldiers in Luoyang City, do you want to search the city on a large scale?" Baekyu also spoke.

"In order not to cause panic, there is no need to search the city on a large scale, the matter will be handed over to Ning Yue's people to secretly search, and the whole city will be summoned, so that everyone can pay attention to suspicious people, once the whereabouts of the Han soldiers are discovered, the implementer will be rewarded with 100 money, if the Han soldiers can be caught, once confirmed, the Han soldiers will be rewarded with 500 regardless of life or death. In this way, the king thought that it was enough. ”

Bai Gui was stunned, "Wouldn't five hundred dollars be a bit much?" ”

"I'm talking about civilians, not soldiers. You must know that civilians can catch Han soldiers, but they may have to pay the price of their lives, five hundred yuan is not much, but they can only owe it first, and then send it when the royal family has money in the future. ”

As soon as he thought that a battle would be fought, the copper coins would be thrown out like sprinkling water, and Zhou Bian had another headache.

Bai Gui asked again, "What to do with the corpses of more than 4,000 Han soldiers?" ”

"Send the message out of the city, and let the Han army take it away."

Soon, several people in the palace finalized this series of things, and at this time, at the main gate of the palace, the Taishi had just walked out.

As soon as he saw the Taishi, Sima Tu was like a drowning man grasping a straw, and immediately crawled over on his knees and grabbed the hem of the Taishi's robe.

"Taishi, what's the matter, what did the king say?" Sima Tu asked anxiously, his eyes already red.

Taishi shook his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Sima Tu sat down, his eyes were in a trance, "I know this, how can the king let me go, it's okay, I also know that my sin has been killed, and I will die a hundred times." ”

"Hmph, the king didn't want your life. But it's for one person. Taishi snorted coldly.

"Who? It's Master Taishi, it must be you, an adult, who kowtows to the adult. Sima Tu immediately came back to life.

"It's not the old man, the old man doesn't have that much face, it's the queen mother."

Sima Tu was stunned for a moment, his old husband had helped the Queen Mother at the beginning, but he didn't think that the Queen Mother still remembered it, it was really rare.

Taishi's voice sounded again, "The old man also knows that as an old minister of the royal family, the king does not reuse you, you are angry in your heart, but the major affairs of the country are worshiped in Rong, how can you be so childish in military affairs?" The king said, 100 sticks, remove the military power, retain the post of Sima, and specialize in raising horses in the future. The king also said that he doesn't want to see you again in the future, do you understand? ”

If he can survive, he will thank God for the king, Sima Tu nodded hurriedly.

"Now that you know, let's go."

When Sima Tu heard this, he kowtowed a few more times in the direction of the palace before he got up and left. The hundred sticks were privately given by the king, but Sima Tu didn't dare to be sloppy. Alas, I don't know what happened last night, and if I was in a bad mood, why did I get drunk with those two newly bought slave girls? It's really a disaster, and if you go back, you will kill it, but it's a pity. Thinking all the way, Sima Tu stumbled back to his new mansion in Luoyang.

In the afternoon, the punishment of Sima Tu was soon announced to the whole city, and then it was the meritorious reward, Liu Yun ranked first on the military merit list, but he could not thank the king in person, because Liu Yun was still in a coma, and the military doctor diagnosed that he had lost too much blood and needed to recuperate. The second place is Tu Qiang, the first to arrive at the scene after the loss of Gaomen, Li Ding ranked third, although he was wiped out, but withstood the frontal impact of the Korean army, although he was ranked third, but he was the one who benefited the most, because he regained the power of the army, instead of Sima Tu to guard Gaomen. Followed by Wang Yufei, Tu Mengzichang and others, all of whom have their own rewards, but of course, those who involve money obviously have to be owed first.

In any case, it is always a joy to win the battle, although many people died, but the main theme of Luoyang is still jubilant. The people of Luoyang have established a psychological advantage over the Korean army outside the city, and even some young people are clamoring to fight out of the city and expel the Korean army.

At the same time, there was a depression in the South Korean military camp. After resting for nearly an hour in the early morning, the Korean army mobilized superior forces to storm Pingmen again, but at the cost of 1,000 men, the general had to order the retreat under the pressure of the generals.

Indeed, the army has been stationed outside Luoyang City for more than ten days, the original sharpness has been smoothed out, and the generals have gradually slackened, and it is indeed unbearable heat, even the general Han Hu has to consider whether to rest for a while.

In Han Yingshuai's tent, when Han Jin rushed in angrily, what he saw was the scene of his father kneeling in front of the small table, carrying a lacquer pen and writing.

Raising his eyes and seeing that it was his son walking in, Han Hu nodded slightly, motioned for him to sit down by himself, and continued to bow his head and write.

In front of his father, Han Jin was still quite polite, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still sat up obediently, looked up, and saw that the old father's white hair was tied into a bun on his head, and the white beard on his chin trembled slightly with the change of his gaze, his left hand pressed the bamboo slip on the small table, and his right hand held the lacquer pen steadily.

It didn't take long for my father to put down the pen, pick up the bamboo slip with both hands and blow it, shake his head and look at it, and then roll it up and put it away.

"Do you know the meaning of this letter and to whom it is written?"

"I don't know." Han Jin replied respectfully.

"It was written to the king, asking for sin, for his father's failure to attack the city, and he lost 30,000 soldiers, but he still didn't get a gate in Luoyang, which is really ashamed." Han Hu looked up and sighed.

"Father doesn't have to be like this, maybe there is a lack of troops in Luoyang City, and if you attack the city again, you can go straight to the palace of King Zhou." Seeing that his father's face seemed to be a little older, Han Jin, as a son of man, had to persuade his father a little.

But seeing Han Hu smiled lightly, "Wu'er doesn't have to persuade me like this, there are no less than 300,000 people in Luoyang City, the city is high and the grain is sufficient, and the people's hearts are stable, but I looked down on the Zhou room before I first came, and I don't need to say it anymore." It's my son who is here, but for Su Rui? ”

"That's true." Han Jin bowed his head and replied.

Han Hu touched his long beard, "Wu'er is still a little weaker after all, and the eldest father thought that you would scold." ”

"The child naturally didn't dare, but he was just a little upset for Su Rui."

"Also, Su Rui's lone army entered the city, and the whole army must have been wiped out at this time, in fact, I was wrong, I shouldn't have let Su Rui's lone army into the city. Naturally, my father still remembers that when he first arrived in Luoyang, Wu'er also proposed a night attack, but I denied it at the time, and when Su Rui proposed it this time, I thought the time was ripe, do I have any opinions? ”

Han Jin shook his head.

"In fact, I also attach great importance to Su Rui, and I discuss everything with him, this night attack, I accepted Su Rui's strategy in public, and handed it over to Su Rui for implementation, I want to let Su Rui make a contribution, so that he can be promoted in the future. But he didn't expect to make the Zhou room blocked in the city, which was not my father's wish. Of course, it was only after the father realized what was wrong. Although Su Rui is talented, but he is not a nobleman in the court, although his family is a big family in Yiyang, but he is not without a title, and Gongzi Jin and Gongzi Bao are all traditional nobles, naturally do not want Su Rui, who was born as a commoner, has made great contributions, and may have been slack in Gaomen, so he gave Zhou Room a vacancy, otherwise with Su Rui's shrewdness, he has taken Gaomen, but how can he ask Zhou to take it back? The old man has no way to command, and he is ashamed of Su Rui. ”

"It's not to blame my father, Gongzi Bao insisted on following Su Rui into the city, that is, I thought Gongzi Bao was trying to steal credit, who thought that he was deliberately slacking." Han Jin shook his head.

"Actually, the old man should have thought of it a long time ago, when he first came to Luoyang for the first battle, the old man sent Su Rui to supervise the battle, which had already displeased Gongzi Bao and others, and perhaps it was from then that he buried his murderous intentions." Han Hu lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"But why didn't my father go and save him immediately?" Han Jin's tone was a little hurried.

Han Hu raised his head, "Gaomen has been recaptured by the Zhou Room, how to save it?" If you can take it back, you won't lose it and attack the goal again? At this time, the sky is already bright, if the flat door can be broken a long time ago, how to wait until today? How do you let the Father save him? ”

"But this time is different, if you attack the flat door immediately, the inside and outside attack, I am afraid that the flat door can be broken." Han Jin was a little anxious.

Han Hu shook his head, "No, it's still the same, the Zhou Room in Luoyang City can mobilize tens of thousands of troops, not to mention that Su Rui can't lead the rest of the soldiers to Pingmen, even if they do, it will be difficult to take Pingmen, do you think Gongzi Bao and others will try their best to attack the city?" This is one of them. Second, if we attack the city immediately, Su Rui is afraid that he will fight to the death to Pingmen, and he will inevitably die in battle, and our army will not attack the city, Su Rui will see hopelessness, and may find an opportunity to hide in Luoyang City, Luoyang City is dozens of miles, and the population in the city is hundreds of thousands, if Su Rui wants to hide, the Zhou Room will not be able to find it, maybe this is Su Rui's glimmer of life. ”

"Okay, then we'll wait." Han Jin nodded.

"I believe that as a father, Su Rui will be fine, at the beginning, against the Chu army and the Song army, Su Rui fell into death several times, but he was able to return with his whole body, this time will be no exception." The old general said firmly, but what he didn't expect was that this time Su Rui would retreat in another way.
