"General, you can't take him away!"

The villagers shouted: "This man stole a lot of our chickens, and it was with great difficulty to catch him today, and we must not spare him!" ”

"I'm a soldier of the Liaodong Army, and I just passed by here today, and you have nothing to do with me when you lost chickens a few days ago." The thin man shouted.

Cheng Yanjin's heart moved, this person turned out to be a soldier of Gao Kaidao, and he said to the villagers: "This person is an enemy scout, we have been arresting him, don't interfere with official business, disperse quickly!" ”

The villagers saw that there were hundreds of Sui soldiers not far away, and some of the words that were about to be cursed were swallowed back, so they had to admit their bad luck and leave with a curse.

Cheng Yanjin carried the thin man and carried him into the village tavern like a chicken, there was only one hunchbacked old man in the tavern, specializing in self-brewed mountain fruit wine, the team had already arranged it, bought two pots of wine, and poured a big bowl for Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Biting Jin threw the thin man aside, picked up the wine bowl and drank two big sips, the wine was sour and astringent, which made Cheng Biting Jin's brows furrow, although the peach wine is also fruit wine, but the wine in front of him is really 108,000 miles apart, but it is also wine, drink a large bowl of wine in one go, then he hiccuped comfortably, and hooked his finger at the thin man, "Come over to Lao Tzu!" ”

The thin man crawled over and kowtowed, "Xiaomin thanked the general for saving his life." ”

"!"

Cheng Biting Jin scolded him viciously, "Just now you said that it was the Liaodong Army, this will become a small people again, if you dare to coax me again, Lao Tzu will take you to feed the dogs!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain was still the Liaodong Army the day before yesterday. But after Gao Wentong's death, the villain is no longer the villain, and the villain is ready to return to his hometown of Mayi County to be a farmer and no longer fight. ”

"You said Gao Wentong is dead?" Cheng Yanjin narrowed his eyes and looked at him in disbelief, and when the meeting was held in the afternoon, Xie Yingdeng also said that it was a pity that Gao Wentong was not caught, how could he die?

"This is the secret that the villain wants to tell the general. It was the villain who saw it with his own eyes, General Gao had already escaped from the encirclement, but was intercepted and killed by a group of black-clothed men on the way. General Gao was killed, and all his men were killed, while the villain was hiding in the bushes. Witness him being killed. ”

Cheng Yanjin suddenly had a sense of energy, straightened his waist and asked, "Who did it?" ”

"Yes..... It seems to be Xue Wanche! ”

"Like?" Cheng Yanjin glared.

"Nope! It's Xue Wanche, who also watched them dig pits in the woods and bury their bodies. ”

A bold thought welled up in Cheng Yanjin's mind, he grabbed the man's clothes, stared at him fiercely and said, "You take me to find out the body!" ”……

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Qiong was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, Cheng Yanjin had been missing for a day and a night, and sent many soldiers to look around, but they couldn't find any trace of him, which made Qin Qiong regret it deeply. He shouldn't let Cheng Yanjin go to patrol the sentry, that guy is always uneasy, something will always happen, in case he hangs up this time, how can he explain to his wife?

Qin Qiong sighed. explained to Yang Yuanqing: "Today he interjected at will during the discussion, and I punished him to patrol the sentry, I know that this is a bit too much for an Asian general, but this kid ..... I put up with him for a winter, hey! I hope he's okay. Otherwise, it's really hard for me to explain to his wife! ”

Qin Qiong's eyes showed remorse, Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "He will be fine, if he has something, it is impossible that not a single soldier will not be able to come back, that kid is a lucky general, believe in him!" ”

In fact, Qin Qiong also thought that it was impossible for none of the three hundred soldiers to come back, but he felt sorry in his heart and didn't want to extricate himself, if something happened to Cheng Biting Jin, he would take all the responsibility.

"I hope nothing happens to him, as long as he can return safely, I am willing to apologize to him."

As soon as Qin Qiong finished speaking, a personal soldier rushed in and said, "Report to the chief, General Cheng is back!" ”

Yang Yuanqing and Qin Qiong were overjoyed, and went out together, and walked out of the tent, only to see Cheng Yanjin coming back with a spring breeze on his face, as if he had encountered some great joy, not far behind him, several soldiers carried a stretcher.

Qin Qiong was originally apologetic, but he could see Cheng Biting Jin's smug look, he was suddenly furious in his heart, and rushed up to knock Cheng Biting Jin over with a punch, "You bastard!" How many people are you going to kill? ”

"General Qin, it's okay!"

Yang Yuanqing stopped Qin Qiong from beating Cheng Biting Jin, slowly walked in front of Cheng Biting Jin, and said coldly: "Cheng Biting Jin, are you guilty?" ”

Half of Cheng Biting Jin's face was swollen, he covered his face and stood up in pain, "Despicable.... Humble duty! ”

Yang Yuanqing said categorically: "According to Article 24 of the Military Law, the patrol post is not allowed to spend the night outside without permission. ”

Yang Yuanqing shouted, "Three hundred people each have eighty military sticks, and Cheng bites the golden rod with one hundred military sticks!" ”

The military law soldier next to him rushed up and pressed Cheng Yanjin down, and Cheng Yanjin was so anxious that he shouted: "Chief, I have a special situation." ”

"Drag it out and fight, and then we'll talk about it after the fight!"

The military law soldier dragged Cheng Yanjin down, and dragged him to the torture tent for a burst of military sticks and beating, which made Cheng Yanjin scream miserably, Qin Qiong said worriedly: "Chief, what if he is captured by the enemy and escapes?" ”

Yang Yuanqing didn't answer Qin Qiong's words, he walked to the stretcher, and picked up the cloth covering the stretcher with his toes, inside was a corpse, his clothes were stripped off, he was hit by an arrow in his throat, and there was a deep wound in his chest, which was stabbed to death with a weapon such as a spear and halberd.

Yang Yuanqing saw a thin man kneeling next to him, not like a Sui soldier, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Back to the general, the villain is taking General Cheng to find this corpse, this is Gao Wentong, the younger brother of Gao Kaidao."

"It turned out to be him!" Qin Qiong couldn't help but exclaim.

Yang Yuanqing remained silent, and turned around and ordered a personal soldier, "Go and find General Wang Junkuo." ”

After a while, Wang Junkuo hurried over, he had dealt with the Gao Kaidao brothers two years ago, and knew Gao Wentong, he stepped forward to salute, "See the manager!" ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at the stretcher with his eyes, "General Wang, look at who is on the stretcher?" ”

Wang Junkuo stepped forward to take a closer look, and was taken aback, "This is Gao Wentong!" ”

At this time, Xie Yingdeng also came, he glanced at the corpse, and said in surprise: "Didn't Gao Wentong escape?" How was it killed. ”

Both of them were very puzzled, and Cheng Biting Jin's miserable cry came from the execution tent, "Chief, spare me!" I've done a great job! ”

Qin Qiong was also a little unbearable, and stepped forward to plead: "Chief, after all, he is going to make meritorious contributions, not intentionally committing crimes, just forgive him once!" ”

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him coldly with his hands behind his back, "General Qin, I heard that you are extremely strict in governing the army, is it possible that your strict management of the army is also divided into people?" ”

Qin Qiong's face flushed, and she was extremely ashamed and said: "The manager is right, military discipline is like a mountain, no one can be spared, and he knows his mistakes in his humble position!" ”

Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army, "Order all the generals above the general to gather in the big tent of the Chinese army!" ”

In a moment, dozens of generals came from all over the place and gathered in the Chinese army tent in charge, only to see two stretchers in the Chinese army tent, one stretcher was a corpse, and the other stretcher was Cheng Biting Jin, who was beaten to the point that his skin was broken, lying on the stretcher and humming, everyone didn't know what happened?

Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down, he pointed to the corpse and said: "This corpse is Gao Wentong, the deputy general of Luo Yijun, who was ambushed by General Xie, he escaped, but he was plotted again, I thought he fled back to Beiping County, but I didn't expect him to die, it can be said that this corpse is related to the entire Youzhou war situation." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the chief manager meant by this, Yang Yuanqing pointed at Cheng Biting Jin again, and said to everyone: "General Cheng led his troops to patrol the sentry, but did not return to the camp at night, which directly violated Article 24 of the Military Law. ”

Yang Yuanqing looked at Cheng Yanjin again, "General Cheng, are you convinced?" ”

Cheng Yanjin muttered in a low voice, "There is another sentence at the back of the military law, if you don't accept the double punishment, do I dare to disobey?" ”

'Bang! Yang Yuanqing slapped the table and said coldly: "I'll ask you again, do you accept it or not?" ”

Cheng Yanjin also understood that the general manager wanted to use the topic to play, and he was serious about military discipline, but why did he find himself, he was really fucking unlucky, he said repeatedly: "Humble and convincing, convincing!" ”

"This is the end of the punishment, generals, military law is like a mountain, no matter who it is, those who feel that they have violated military law will be severely punished."

There was silence in the big tent, no one dared to speak, Yang Yuanqing was very satisfied with this effect, he believed that the three hundred cavalry were beaten with a cane and all the soldiers saw it, although he understood the innocence of the three hundred cavalry, but in order to establish the authority of the military law, someone needed to be wronged.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at everyone again and said slowly: "General Cheng's crime is not that he didn't return all night, but that he didn't send someone to report in time, and he acted without asking for orders in advance, but this time he made a great contribution, he found Gao Wentong's body, which let us know that Gao Wentong had been killed by Luo Yi, and for this reason, I want to reward him." ”

"General Cheng!"

"The end will be ....."

Cheng Yanjin raised his head, his voice trembled, and his eyes shot with excitement, do you want to be rewarded? At this moment, the resentment that he was beaten with a hundred sticks was gone.

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "I will reward you with 3,000 silk horses, and crown you as the earl of Dong'e County, and the three hundred soldiers who follow you will each reward 100 silk horses!" ”

There was a bang in the big tent, Cheng Biting Jin was knighted, Cheng Biting Jin's mouth was wide enough to stuff five boiled eggs, he never dreamed, he just wanted to drink a glass of wine, if possible, he would tease the little lady in the village again, but he didn't expect to get a title that he couldn't get in his dreams, and three thousand silks.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said nothing, Cheng Biting Jin's knighthood was just a reward for his merits.
