Chapter Eighty-Four: Removal from Posts
After hearing this, Lu Tiecheng smiled lightly: "General Kuai's words seem to be reasonable, but they are not right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info knowing that our army is inferior to the enemy, but still have to forcibly send troops and bring defeat on themselves, how can the credit come from...... Okay, since the enemy has been captured, where is this person now? How does it make it different if you easily put the enemy commander back and don't catch it? Not to mention this, after fighting with Yan Liang, it is even more beyond my strength! Break my generals and damage my soldiers, but in the end, Yan Liang can still retreat with his whole body! Where's the credit? ”
Kuai Liang was about to plead again, but You Heng couldn't help but sarcastically sneered: "General Lu, even if General Yan returned from defeat, although he was defeated, he could still see that General Yan was loyal to General Ling. Bloody battlefield, life and death, no matter victory or defeat, it is several times stronger than a person who sits in the city but does not send troops to save him. ”
Ling Yan heard You Heng's words, and he was almost chilled all over his body, but since You Heng had already said it, it was too late to stop it.
The military general standing at the head of the left, when he heard You Heng's sarcastic words, he was immediately furious, pointed at You Heng's nose and shouted: "Bold! Dare to speak out and insinuate General Lu! ”
You Heng was not afraid at all, and snorted coldly: "This general, I have never seen a general before, I wonder if the general is also a general of the city attacked by General Lu?" If he is a general, he has surrendered, and he should be guilty of meritorious service, but how can he sit so comfortably in the city? ”
When the general heard this, he was furious: "You! You! You...... How dare you speak out and ridicule each other! If you have the guts, go outside with me and have a big fight! How! ”
You Heng said coldly: "Do you think I'm still afraid of you?" ”
"Good! Then we'll get out now! The general was furious, and he was about to go out.
"Horned General!" Lu Tiecheng stopped the general, "Don't be rash, don't be impatient." ”
As soon as he heard that the general's name was Niu Jiao, Ling Yan immediately knew why the military general was so angry. When he used to read novels, he remembered seeing the name "Horn", but he was not impressed, he was not famous, he only remembered that he should be the general of the Yellow Turban Army, and it seemed that he was really said by Youheng. was stabbed by someone, and the horned general was naturally ashamed and annoyed. If Lu Tiecheng hadn't stopped him, it is estimated that Niu Jiao would really fight with You Heng.
In order to prevent the expansion of the incident, Ling Yan also hurriedly gave You Heng a look.
The military general named Niu Jiao looked at Lu Tiecheng, pointed at You Heng, and looked indignant: "General Lu! This man has no dignity in his eyes, and he speaks falsely, and he will ask for a lesson in his life. ”
Lu Tiecheng waved his hand: "General Niujiao, don't be rude." Your general is under the account of General Naiyan, and you must not be offended. ”
The horns were full of fire, but since Lu Tiecheng had spoken, he had no choice but to stare at You Heng hatefully.
Lu Tiecheng was embarrassed when he heard Ling Yan's words, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only glance at You Heng frequently, meaning not to let him make any more sarcasm.
When You Heng saw Ling Yan's signal, he didn't say anything anymore, just stared at the horns coldly.
Lu Tiecheng saw that every sentence of You Heng's words was full of sarcasm, his face was extremely pale, and he said coldly: "General You, do you know that I sent a secret letter to General Yan before?" I told him not to let him send troops. ”
"I know." Thou hast said.
Lu Tiecheng frowned: "General You, since you know, why don't you listen to my orders and admonish General Yan?" Isn't it a dereliction of duty for you to join the army as a member of the army? ”
You Heng said coldly: "Sending troops is our decision, and Guo Heng thinks that the advantages of sending troops outweigh the disadvantages, why do you want to advise?" ”
After Lu Tiecheng heard this, the muscles on his cheeks trembled: "As a general, it is taboo not to obey orders." Before you sent out the army, I repeatedly sent people to deliver letters, but you didn't even read them, and took my words as a deaf ear, if you won, and now the soldiers are all gone, and they return defeated, what will you say? ”
Seeing what You Heng wanted to say, Ling Yan hurriedly took over the conversation: "What General Lu said is extremely true, the fault of this defeat is all on me, and I am willing to accept the punishment." ”
Lu Tiecheng heard Ling Yan say this, and sneered: "General Yan, it's just that you are willing to accept the punishment, but you can't do it, General You, they still don't obey me, what should I do?" ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General You don't mean to disobey the general, please don't misunderstand General Lu." After speaking, he secretly gave You Heng a look again.
You Heng snorted coldly and retreated.
Lu Tiecheng glanced at the others, and said in a serious tone: "This time, General Yan and the others did not listen to my orders, and sent troops to fight Han Fu and Yuan Shao without authorization, resulting in defeat, damaging the strength of our army, and degrading the prestige of our army!" Not only that, but I have formed an alliance with Han Fu before, so there has always been Han Fu as a barrier in the north, and there is no threat on this side for the time being; Now General Yan gave up the favorable conditions of forming an alliance with Han Fu, but destroyed Han Fu together with Yuan Shao, so that the two cities of Jizhou City and Jianhe City entered Yuan Shao's pocket. ”
Ling Yan had to admit that what Lu Tiecheng said was the truth, and his analysis was also very objective. It's just that he didn't know that Ling Renxiang had an alliance with Han Fu before.
Lu Tiecheng glanced at it again, and then announced sharply: "General Yan is responsible for most of the defeat this time!" The so-called 'meritorious service must be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it must be punished', I now announce: remove Ling Yan from the post of Taishou of the Great Victory City, and remove from the post of the chief general of Ling Yan's army! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar below, and everyone didn't expect that the punishment for Ling Yan would be so severe.
You Heng protested loudly: "General Lu! General Yan is the main general of the city guard, and General Ling personally trusts him! How can he be removed from his position casually? ”
Lu Tiecheng looked at You Heng coldly: "Now that General Ling is not in the Great Victory City, I have the right to announce this decision!" And I'm just acting in accordance with military law, why can't I? ”
Kuai Liang continued: "General Lu, General Ling, General Tuo Yan's insistence on the Great Victory City, there must be a reason, if you are easily removed now, it may not be conducive to the morale of the army." Besides, if General Yan doesn't do too much, who will be in charge of everything in the city? ”
Lu Tiecheng said: "I am now in charge of the trivial affairs of Dajie City for the time being, and after I leave, General Sun Shao will take over." ”
Sun Shao stood up: "Yes." ”
"This ......" Kuai Liang's face is difficult.
"General Lu......" Gong Lu didn't speak, but at this time he couldn't help but say, "General Yan is dedicated to serving General Ling...... There is no fault...... I also hope that General Lu ......"
"Shut up." Lu Tiecheng said to Lu Gong in a stern tone, "You were originally a guilty soldier, General Yan made an exception to promote you to general, and you are qualified to stand here now!" Don't forget who you are! ”
Ling Yan looked back at Lu Gong, shook his head slightly, and then looked at Lu Tiecheng again: "General Lu, I accept this punishment, I know that my negligence this time is serious, and General Lu's punishment is already very light." ”
Only then did Lu Tiecheng smile and said, "General Yan, it's good if you know." ”
You Heng whispered to Ling Yan: "General Yan, this matter is not all the general's fault, why bother to take it all?" ”
Ling Yan hurriedly shook his head at You Heng again, meaning not to let him provoke Lu Tiecheng again.
Lu Tiecheng didn't hear You Heng's words, and continued to himself: "However, this defeat was caused by General Yan's impulsiveness, and secondly, because of the misbelief in the enemy's words, so that this is the case. ”
Ling Yan heard Lu Tiecheng suddenly say this, and he didn't know why.
Lu Tiecheng glanced at Ling Yan, and then said, "General Yan, where is the enemy general He Rong now?" ”
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment and replied, "He was injured and was resting in his room. ”
Lu Tiecheng nodded: "General Yan, although this person surrendered, from my investigation, I learned that he did surrender pretendedly, but secretly had an affair with Yuan Shao. ”
Ling Yan was shocked again: "General Lu, General He Rong really surrendered to me, I dare to guarantee that he did not surrender pretendingly, if he pretended to surrender, how could he kill the enemy desperately?" And how can it hurt? ”
Lu Tiecheng said: "His trick is a bitter trick, if it weren't for that, how could he make you believe him?" ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Lu, there must be a misunderstanding here!" I vouch for my life, he's not that kind of person! ”
Lu Tiecheng sneered: "General Yan, if you want to vouch, aren't you joking with my entire army?" If he is really a collaborator with the enemy, secretly communicates with Yuan Shao, and responds inside and outside, wouldn't the Great Victory City be dangerous? What is the use of your life? ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Lu, please check it carefully, this person has contributed to our army, although he was defeated this time, he was not at fault, on the contrary, he fought bravely to kill the enemy, and he had great merit, and he was definitely not the person who collaborated with the enemy as the general said!" ”
Lu Tiecheng waved his hand impatiently: "Okay! Of course I know who he is, and I don't need to do any more research! I have already checked his details, and this person is the person Yuan Shao planted in our army! General Yan, if you have this kind of person by your side, how can you be undefeated? ”
Ling Yan was a little anxious: "General Lu, this defeat is not his fault, it is all my improper decision-making, please don't blame him, general!" ”
Lu Tiecheng said: "You are indeed at fault, but at least you are also thinking about General Ling, and you can be forgiven; But that He Rong, Yuan Shao, is an unforgivable sin! ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Lu, he ......"
Lu Tiecheng overshadowed Ling Yan's words with a louder volume, and he looked at the military general who was in the first place on the right: "General Pinghan, you immediately lead someone to arrest the enemy general He Rong and behead him for public display!" ”
Ling Yan and the others were shocked.
"Yes!" The general clenched his fists and turned and walked out.
Ling Yan stopped him at once, and said to Lu Tiecheng urgently: "General Lu! General He Rong is not a collaborator! Don't kill him! ”
Lu Tiecheng frowned tightly, and his voice also increased: "General Yan, if you stop it again, I will assume that you have also been bought by Yuan Shao, and you are in the same group as him!"
Ling Yan said loudly: "General Lu! I am wholeheartedly devoted to General Ling, how could I defect to Yuan Shao? And I can also assure you that General He Rong will definitely surrender sincerely! ”
The horns pointed at Ling Yan and said angrily: "General Yan! Do you dare to disobey General Lu's orders? ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said, "No! I didn't mean that, it's just a misunderstanding! ”
"If that's not the intention, then you should quickly let General Ping over, otherwise, General Lu will identify you as Yuan Shao, and I will be welcome!" Horns have an aggressive tone.
You Heng finally couldn't help it, and pointed at the military general and scolded: "You, a nameless junior, dare to shout in front of General Yan, so disrespectful, you can't do it!" ”
Niu Jiao was humiliated by You Heng just now, and he was already angry in his heart, but now he heard You Heng's tone of voice so tough, and he was even more angry, and angrily reprimanded You Heng: "Hmph! General Lu has already issued a military order, how dare you disagree again? Such disrespect is a capital offense! If you weren't really tired of living, wouldn't you? ”
You Heng looked at the horns and said coldly: "I'm just tired of living, what can you do to me?" ”
The general was furious, and pulled out his sword with a "whoosh": "Good! I'll let you know what I can do to you! ”
You Heng also drew his sword at once, and said coldly: "Do you think I am really afraid that you will not succeed?" ”
Seeing You Heng pull out his sword, the military general named Ping Han also pulled out his long sword with a "whoosh", and the tip of the sword pointed directly at You Heng and Ling Yan.
Seeing this, Lu Gong, who was behind him, hurriedly took a few steps in front of Ling Yan, and half-pulled out his sword to protect Ling Yan. However, he looked really weak, gasping for breath.
Seeing this, Ling Yan was shocked, and hurriedly persuaded Lu Gong and You Heng: "The two generals quickly put away their swords, don't do this!" ”
