Chapter 413 The defeated general of the marching law will be demoted, and the soldiers of Sima Zhongquan will be defeated

Outside the city, Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao came to the edge of the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Some city defense soldiers had already found out and hurriedly ran to the city to report to the cavalry general Xiahou Ba.

"What? Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao were defeated so far? When Xiahou Ba heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly came to the city with the soldiers to watch.

When he came to the city, he looked down at the city, but it was not Zhang Wen or Zhang Shao, who was it?

"Two virtuous brothers, why are you here?" Xiahou Ba asked.

"Hey! It's a shame to say, it's hard to put into words! I also ask General Zhongquan to allow me to enter the city. Zhang Wen said earnestly on the horse.

Xiahou Ba looked at the two of them, so he asked the soldiers to open the city gate and let them into the city.

The soldiers and horses were handed over to the generals under Xiahou Ba, and Zhang Wen, Zhang Shao and Zhang Shao's regimental deputy general followed Xiahou Ba to the front hall of the county government in Xiapi City.

Sitting down, Xiahou Ba asked, "Two virtuous brothers, what is the matter?" Could it be that Sima Yi has already led troops to capture the city of the two? ”

Zhang Wen's face showed remorse, knocked on his mourning, and said: "I learned that Sima Zhongda sent Chen Yu as a pioneer and led 7,000 troops to seek my city. After thinking of surrendering, he bowed to General Wupin and did a regimental exercise. There is no merit, and there is always a muttering in my heart. But when I had the opportunity, I wanted to kill Chen Yu and seek this fame. I didn't want to, but I fell into Chen Yu's way and fell into his ambush! ”

As he spoke, he recounted the past in detail, and when he talked about the tragic result of only more than 40 people left of the 6,000 soldiers and horses under his command, he burst into tears and was in pain.

Xiahou Ba comforted him for a while, and then asked Zhang Shao.

Zhang Shao then told Xiahouba about being deceived and losing Changlu.

When Xiahou Ba heard this, he couldn't help but worry about whether the two of them would be punished. After all, it is still rare for the Han Dynasty army to fail like this, and I really don't know how Dong Yuan will punish the two.

Seeing Xiahouba's melancholy face, Zhang Wen cautiously asked, "General, with a sad face, dare to ask the general what he is afraid of?" ”

Xiahou Ba looked at the two of them and said, "The two generals have lost the city, aren't they afraid that the Lord will not be punished?" ”

This? I really didn't expect that, after all, with my junior brother Xiahou and Zaidu by my side, it shouldn't be too serious!

Although the two of them thought so in their hearts, they didn't dare to say this in front of Xiahou Ba.

Zhang Shao said: "Please also ask the general to make it clear." ”

Xiahou Ba shook his head and said, "Both of you caused the loss of the city because of mistakes, which is intolerable by military law. I'm afraid that I have to march against the two of you, the Han Dynasty army has always had strict military law, and no one is allowed to disobey. Even if you escape here, there will be a kind of person who specializes in exercising, and when you chase you around, you will have to complete the military law! ”

"Huh?!" Hearing this, the two were taken aback and shouted in unison.

Zhang Wen asked, "I don't know what kind of military law we have committed?" ”

Xiahou Ba looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "Article 17 of the Military Law, for the general who cannot take care of the overall situation when he is in danger, and escapes alone, he should be punished with fifty rods, demoted, and demoted to one rank; Article 16 of the Military Law stipulates that those who lose the city and food shall be punished with a rod for 30 years and shall be demoted or demoted as appropriate. ”

"So serious?" The two of them asked in a lost voice.

Just when Xiahou Ba was about to explain to the two, a voice came from outside: "Pengcheng Duhufu is here, please ask the Jincai General Xiahou Zhongquan, the Rencheng Independent Regiment Training General Zhang Wen, and the Changlu Independent Regiment Regiment Training General Zhang Shao to receive the order." ”

Xiahou Ba and the three of them hurriedly left their seats and wanted to go out to answer.

But he saw several people intruding from the outside, the first one, wearing a leopard's head swallowing cloud helmet, wearing chain chain armor, holding the sword at his waist in his left hand, holding an arrow in his right hand, and the big blue cloak on his back explained his identity - the special cloak of the general staff of the jockey division, embroidered with the head of a large owl.

At a glance at this person, Xiahou Ba and the others all showed a flattering look.

Who is this person? The staff general of Zhou Weixiao's jockey, Pang De's son Pang Hui is also!

"Ba (Wen, Shao) meet Staff Officer Pang!" The three of them bowed down and gave a military salute to Pang Hui.

Pang Hui waved his hand and said, "I was ordered by the governor to investigate the defeat of the two generals Zhang. Today, a certain has investigated clearly, and the two generals did not obey the order of our army's independent regiment to stay in the city, and should be punished! I don't know the two of you, can you be convinced? ”

Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "The last general is willing to be punished." ”

Pang Hui nodded, turned around and came to the big seat behind the handsome case in the hall, and said to Xiahou Ba: "General Zhongquan, let's borrow your seat for the time being." ”

After speaking, he slapped the startled wood on the table, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao, as the main generals, you are not clear about the enemy, you use swords and guns in vain, and abandon the sergeants and ignore them, violating Articles 16 and 17 of our army's military law. Are you convicted? ”

Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao knelt on the ground, stuck to the ground, and replied: "The last general will be guilty." ”

Pang Huiyan said: "The governor of the two of you has returned to the court, the military law is not familiar, the management of the army is unfavorable, and the punishment is not subject to for the time being, but the official position is incompetent, and now Zhang Wen is the deputy general of the regiment, and Zhang Shao is the deputy general of the regiment; Zhang Shao led the Xiongbu regiment, sent the general Pang Yuan of Wupinbiao to serve as the general of the regiment, Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao were both deputy generals of the regiment, and the original deputy general of the regiment was transferred to the capital to take up his post. ”

"The grace of the governor of Xie Dudu." The two of them secretly rejoiced in their hearts and hurriedly thanked them.

Outside the city, Chen Zhen, Liu Mao and Gong Zun led a group of generals to wait for Sima Yi outside the city gate.

Sima Zhongda dismounted in front of the city, handed the horse's silk reins to the groom, picked up Chen Zhen, who had fallen to the ground, and said, "Get up!" You have made the first contribution to the old man, congratulations! ”

Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Serving the capital governor is the duty of the last general. The capture of this city is just a matter of the governor's suggestion. ”

"Haha!" When Sima Yi heard this, he laughed.

When he came to the city, Sima Yi gathered all the generals to discuss the plan to attack Xiapi.

Sima Yi glanced at the generals and said, "Rencheng and Changlu are just the same as the two regiments of the enemy's outpost, and the soldiers and horses are only six or seven thousand. In Xiapi City, according to the Malay Survey, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the general defending the city was Xiahou Ba Xiahou Zhongquan. The two generals of the Han army under his command were all transferred from the Han army, and the soldiers and horses under his command were compared with the soldiers and horses of Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao, the difference was that some of the soldiers and horses under his command were veterans of the Han Dynasty. ”

Chen Yu heard some flavor from his words and asked, "Could it be that there is a difference between veterans and recruits of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Sima Yi said with palpitations: "That's nature. Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao's troops are all Xiahou Yuan's old departments in the past, and their soldiers and horses are no different from those under your command and me; But the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty were different, their training was very harsh, and the soldiers were very adaptable, and their adaptability was also very strong and fast. This is the difference between them, and it is also the biggest difference between our army and the Han army. ”

Chen Zhen has never fought against the Han army, so naturally he doesn't know these stakes, where can he believe it? He glared at him with a puzzled gaze and asked, "Governor, if this is the case, wouldn't the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty have already unified the whole country, how can it be as three-thirds as it is today?" ”

Sun Li, the general of Zhenwu, said: "General, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, of which the soldiers and horses sent by the Han army account for three or four percent of them. It can't be as powerful as the legend, and the so-called governor Dong Yuan of the Han army is just a martial artist, how can he be your opponent? ”

Sima Yi looked into the distance, as if he was reminiscing about the story of his battle with Zhuge Liang in the past.

Sima Shi was beside him, and shouted repeatedly: "Father, father......"

"Huh!?" was awakened by Sima Shi, he realized that a Zhuge Liang who was far away in Chang'an had such a great influence on him, and a trace of panic on his face was fleeting, and he said solemnly: "Even if Dong Yuan has great ability, I am afraid that it will be difficult to compare with Zhuge Kongming." And there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi, and when a certain army rises to attack Xiapi, I don't know which general is willing to lead troops as the vanguard of the front? ”

Cheng Xi, the general of the expedition to the north, rushed in front of the generals and asked for an order: "The last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to attack Xiapi." ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "It's okay." Thou hast drawn 20,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters, and you must arrive at Xiapi before tomorrow evening. In the battle of Rencheng and Changlu, our army was victorious, and the morale of the soldiers was booming, and it was a good time to use the soldiers. Otherwise, the morale of our army will certainly be greatly reduced, which will affect the overall combat strength of our army. ”

"No! The last general understands," Cheng Xi agreed.

Sima Yi nodded with great satisfaction, and then asked him to take the deputy general down to prepare.

Cheng Xi, Cheng Yu's nephew. Before Cao Cao, due to the difficulty of quelling the Yuan family, he made military exploits and was awarded the title of filial piety general; After Cao Ang's rank, he was promoted to the rank of general of the expedition to the north to exterminate the bandits in Qingzhou. There are five or six strong generals under his command: Ren Xian, Kong Yi, Ling Hu Shao, Cheng He, and Guo Yuan.

He not only inherited the wisdom of the Cheng family, but also practiced a good skill in his life, holding a Xuanhua axe, and his two arms have hundreds of catties of strength. Three or five ordinary generals can't get close to him, and his bravery can be seen.

In Xiapi City, the cavalry general Xiahouba, the cavalry general Li Xue, the ranger general Zhuo An, the first regimental training general Wang Qiang, the second regimental training general Yang Kan, the Rencheng independent regiment training general Pang Yuan, the regimental deputy generals Zhang Wen and Zhang Shaozheng are discussing countermeasures in the front hall of the county government.

Xiahou Ba briefly said the letter sent by Dong Yuan's envoy, and then said: "The Metropolitan Protectorate sent someone to send the Governor's instructions, and the Governor told me to delay the enemy's attack. The Governor and the generals will come to the rescue in a few days. ”

Li Xue asked: "The enemy army has completely occupied Rencheng and Changlu at this time, and the 150,000 troops behind Sima Yi will soon go straight to our ancient battlefield in Pengcheng, Xuzhou. It must take advantage of the situation to take this place. Why don't we wait for our troops to intercept them outside the city? ”

Bringing troops out? There seems to be some truth to this.

Xiahou Ba picked up the letter again and looked at it, and suddenly found that the letter asked for two words "delay". The purpose of delay is to slow down the enemy's attack and give one's comrades more time to prepare.
