Chapter 56: Punishment
Just when Du Chen wanted to cure Xiahoudun's crime, Cao Ren, who was standing on the side, took a few steps forward, leaned over and said: "Sir, don't be angry, it is a certain ploy to lead the army out of the camp without permission, and Yuan Rang is just following a certain arrangement." If the gentleman wants to punish the sin, please also punish me first. ”
"Oh?" At this moment, Du Chen was like a star soul possessed in "Qin Shi Mingyue", tilted his head, glanced at Cao Ren, but said nothing.
"Sir, Hugh listened to Zixiao's nonsense, and this matter was all done by a certain person. It was a certain person who persecuted Zixiao and asked him to go out of the camp with me. Xiahoudun struggled to stand up and yelled at Du Chen.
"Do you know that if you don't kill you, if the other generals follow suit in the future, how will the dust lead the troops to fight? Come on, pull out this disobedient person and cut it down! ”
After Du Chen finished speaking, several guards pulled Xiahoudun and walked out. Seeing that Du Chen seemed to be about to move seriously, the rest of the generals all knelt down and said: "I hope that Mr. will read Yuan Rang's hard work and work, and bypass Yuan Rang's life." Moreover, Yuan Rang and Meng De are brothers of the same clan, and even if they really want to be punished with death, they must notify Meng De. ”
"You mean I don't have power?" Du Chen said to the three of them in a deep voice.
"Don't dare, don't dare! Before leaving, the lord specially told us that Mr. was the commander of the three armies, and ordered us to obey Mr. Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said. At this time, they didn't dare to disobey Du Chen, they knew that Xiahoudun's life was still in Du Chen's hands.
"In that case, then Miaocai you sue me, what crime should he be punished for leading his troops out of the camp without permission?" Du Chen looked at Xiahou Yuan and asked.
Hearing Du Chen say this, Xiahou Yuan's face was unusually helpless, and then he pleaded: "I also hope that Mr. Nianyuan will spare Yuan for the sake of hard work." ”
After listening, Du Chen looked at the rest of the people. Then he thought for a moment with a different expression, and then muttered: "It's not impossible to let him go, but you have to promise not to do such a thing at any time." ”
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "As long as Mr. is willing to let Yuan let go once, then I dare to guarantee that there will be no such thing again." If there is another such thing, the gentleman can behead us first! ”
"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, so let him go so lightly, how can I have face." Du Chen's face showed a smile again, but this time it was a bad smile.
Hearing this, the hearts of the three of them rose again, but it was difficult for everyone to intervene in this matter. Du Chen let go of Xiahoudun, which is already a great kindness.
"There it is!" Du Chen suddenly had an idea, and then asked someone to bring Xiahoudun over. Glancing at the weak Xiahou Xuan, Du Chen said: "In the past, Si Lang's teacher once gave Si Lang a military book, and Si Lang liked it very much, but the book was very shabby, so I wanted to copy the above content, but I didn't want to copy it, so how about Yuan Rang do it for me?" ”
Hearing Du Chen's words, Xiahou Yuan and the three of them were all surprised. Everyone heard that this was a punishment for Xiahoudun, which was clearly urging Xiahoudun to study the book of war.
However, for Xiahoudun, Du Chen's move was tantamount to killing him. Because in his opinion, the battle depends on courage, and the victory achieved by intrigue and intrigue is not smooth enough.
"What? You don't want to? Seeing that Xiahoudun didn't speak, Du Chen's face suddenly sank.
Seeing Du Chen like this and Xiahoudun was like a piece of wood, this made everyone anxious. At this time, I saw Xiahou Yuan hurriedly get up and come to Xiahou Yuan's side, and said loudly: "Big brother, Mr. has already spared your life, why don't you appreciate it." ”
After Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, Cao Ren and Yu Ban also came to Xiahou Yuan to persuade him.
After half a ring, under the siege of the three people, Xiahoudun finally made a decision. Then he only heard Xiahoudun say to Du Chen weakly: "Just by the instructions of Mr.!" ”
Seeing that Xiahoudun agreed, the three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But at this time, Du Chen said again: "Since you agreed, Nachen will inform you that Chen, this person is very picky, if the copying does not meet Chen's requirements, Nachen will not accept it, and you must re-copy it." ”
After listening to Du Chen's words, Xiahoudun's face was extremely different. Obviously, his fate has been handed over to Du Chen. As long as Du Chen doesn't nod, he has to keep copying countless times. However, Xiahoudun had already agreed to Du Chen, so he categorically would not change, so he could only nod and say yes.
During the time when Du Chen punished Xiahoudun, Cao Jun had already finished cleaning up the battlefield. In this battle, Cao's army can be said to have won a complete victory, killing 3,000 enemies, while his own loss was only more than 500 people, and most of these more than 500 people were brought out by Xiahou and Cao Ren.
However, although the results were rich, in fact, it was Cao Jun who suffered. You must know that Cao's army did not go on an expedition of more than 5,000 people this time, and it lost one-tenth of this battle. And there are no less than tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and 3,000 people are just a drizzle for the Yellow Turban Army, and it is difficult to hurt their muscles and bones at all.
After getting this result, Xiahoudun was full of shyness. Then, I heard him roar angrily: "That old bastard actually lied to me, I will definitely take him down and cut off his head." ”
Hearing Xiahoudun say this, Du Chen was very curious, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Rang, what's going on?" ”
Xiahou calmed down, and then opened his mouth to tell Du Chen about his meeting with the old man.
After listening to Xiahoudun's words, Du Chen pinched his chin and thought for a long time, and then said helplessly to Xiahoudun: "You are not unjust, Yuan Rang knows what the Yellow Turban Army is?" ”
"Wasn't that what it was?" Xiahoudun said very puzzled. He didn't know what Du Chen's words meant.
"What do you think the Yellow Turbans are? The Yellow Turban Army is an old surname that can't survive, and those who are just the generals of the Yellow Turban Army selected their elite and prime-age troops. And the Yellow Turban Army, most of them are still old and weak, women and children, and most of them are ordinary people. Du Chen sighed and patiently explained to Xiahoudun and the others.
"What do you mean, sir, that old man is also a Yellow Turban Army?" Xiahoudun asked cautiously.
Du Chen nodded and said, "It should be so, not only the old man, but the people we see now should all be the Yellow Turban Army." ”
After Du Chen finished speaking, Xiahoudun and the others all took a breath of cool air. Everyone has always said that they can't see the Yellow Turban Army, but what they didn't expect was that they would come into contact with the Yellow Turban Army every day.
"After saying that, they are not under the surveillance of the Yellow Turban Army. It's horrible! Xiahou Yuan muttered.
"No wonder no matter whether we are coerced or enticed, those people just don't tell the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Army, it turns out that they are the Yellow Turban Army."
At this time, Yu Ban also suddenly said to everyone. Hearing Yu Ban's words, everyone nodded. This problem was encountered by everyone, and at first everyone thought that the people were under pressure from the Yellow Turban Army. Afraid that if he can't eliminate the Yellow Turbans, he will be retaliated against by the Yellow Turbans.
But now it seems that it is clearly what Yu Ban said. Since that old guy is a Yellow Turban, there is no burden for me to kill him. If it weren't for him, how could I have lost more than 500 elite soldiers. Xiahoudun said angrily, and then he hurried in one direction. Don't stop him yet! Looking at Xiahou Dun, who was full of anger and left, Du Chen hurriedly said to everyone. And the three of Xiahou Yuan heard Du Chen's words, and then they reacted, and then the three of them hurriedly chased after Xiahou Yuan, and then they pulled Xiahou Yuan back with a good idea.
