Chapter Two Thousand and Forty-Nine: Asking for Guilt

Cen Pei's decision made Diao Jun feel inexplicable, but at the moment he cared more about whether he could return home.

After eating the fish, the two came out of the cave and wanted to go on their way.

Just a few steps away, a war horse came in the distance, and a group of cavalry quickly surrounded the two.

The first person jumped off his horse and came to them: "Vice General Cen and Vice General Diao, I have found you!"

It turned out to be Chen Sheng, who acted together last night, and he led a team of Qiguo cavalry, looking very tired.

"You ......" Diao Jun, who thought he had a chance to escape, almost exploded in his heart.

"Our army has already conquered Bashui County," Chen Sheng was quite excited, "General Zhi Chong ordered to search for Adjutant General Cen and Vice General Diao, and all around Bashui County were searched! I also tried my luck to take a look here, but I didn't expect to really find you! Quick! Come back to the city with me." ”

Diao Jun was depressed, and the chance to escape that he had finally gotten was gone. I knew I wouldn't eat fish, and I might not have been stopped if I woke up and left.

looked back at Cen Pei, but saw him shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands at himself expressionlessly, meaning that it had nothing to do with him.

No way, let's go!

Chen Sheng ordered the cavalry to give up two war horses and take Cen Pei and Diao Jun directly to Bashui County.

After entering the city, he entered the Taishou Mansion non-stop and met Yu Cheng, the general of Zhichong.

"The last general Cen Pei (Diao Jun) greets the general!!" entered the main hall, knelt down on one knee in front of many generals, and the two bowed their heads and saluted.

"It's good to come back!" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly, he arranged for the army to go out to search early in the morning, especially near the cave where the two were hiding, and did not give the other party any chance to escape, "Cen Pei!"

"The last general!" Hearing the general call his name, Cen Pei hurriedly raised his head and responded loudly.

"Are you guilty?" Jia Zhengjin grimaced, assuming the majesty of a general.

"The last general doesn't know!" I thought that the general was going to reward himself, but he was suddenly asked, and Cen Pei was at a loss.

"Last night, I ordered you to lead the troops to respond, why did you disobey the military order and rashly cheat the city? You and Diao Jun led 1,000 cavalry, but now they have not returned and the whole army has been wiped out!

With a "bang", Jia Zhengjin shot the case, which frightened all the generals in the palace.

Cen Pei was also startled, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, without the slightest momentum of a fierce general on the battlefield.

"What crime should I be guilty of disobeying military orders and annihilating the whole army?!"

There was silence.

"General, you should be punished for your crimes!" said one of the adjutant generals standing on the side.

Cen Pei's body went limp, and the whole person sat on the ground, looking up at General Zhichong in disbelief.

Diao Jun was also stupid, didn't he say that he had made a great contribution last night, and he would definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds when he came back? Why was he suddenly convicted, and he lost his head......

He glanced at Cen Pei and felt that it was a little unfair, so he turned to the general: "General Yu, there is a saying that 'the general is outside, and the king's order is not affected'! Vice General Cen just judged the situation and made a decision according to the situation at that time, otherwise he would not be able to break through the Bashui ......."

"Vice Admiral Diao, do you think there's nothing wrong with you?" Jia Zhengjin looked at him coldly.

"Huh?" Diao Jun was stunned, he wanted to intercede for Cen Pei, why was he also involved?

"Last night, a few of you acted together, and you all disobeyed the military order!" Jia Zhengjin scolded sharply, "Did you take General Ben in your eyes?"

At this time, even Chen Sheng and Yang Ting were stunned, and hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt on the ground, trembling.

Jia Zhengjin walked down, turned around in front of the four kneeling generals, stood on his feet and stared down at them. It wasn't until the four generals in front of him had completely blank heads and didn't know how to react that they slowed down their tone slightly: "The four of you disobeyed the military order and cheated the city privately, causing heavy casualties to our army, and you should have been behead......ed!" You have made a great contribution to killing Bashui Taishou Sha Yihe and helping our army successfully capture Bashui County! I have already sent a letter to Danyang day and night to ask for merit. Those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle will be rewarded by Your Majesty!"

Just now, my heart hung in my throat, and I thought I was going to die. The next moment, when the four of them heard this, they all showed expressions of the rest of their lives, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, General!"

The feelings just now were just the general's deliberate scary tricks and tricks.

Scared them, Jia Zhengjin slowly walked back to the position of the main general and sat down: "Enter the column first!"

"Obey!" Cen Pei stretched out his hand and pulled Jiao Jun, whose feet were trembling, to stand up and retreat into the crowd.

Yang Ting also stood up with Chen Sheng and retreated into the crowd.

Jia Zhengjin looked around, paused for a few seconds and continued: "General Ben never thought that the capture of Bashui County would be so smooth this time! Although you and others violated the military order, the result was good. But next time, don't make your own decisions, unless you have to, you know?"

"Understood!!" Not only these four people, but the other generals also shouted in unison.

"Hmm~" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "It's good to understand." This time we captured Bashui County, and our troops suffered heavy losses. The emissaries sent out will ask His Majesty for troops, but it will take a long time to come. In the meantime, we need to hold on with the only remaining troops and not too much military rations, which is quite troublesome!"

"General!" Cen Pei stood up when he heard this, "Yesterday's raid on Bashui County, the enemy shouldn't have time to move the food in the city, how can it not be enough?"

"Chen Sheng, you come and tell him!" Jia Zhengjin looked sideways to the other side.

"Yes!" Chen Sheng, who was named, hurriedly came out to salute first, and then turned to Cen Pei, "Vice General Cen, you and Vice General Diao raided out of the city yesterday, so I don't know the follow-up." Our army entered the city, and the enemy generals Zhuo Yan and Morrico were unable to reorganize their troops in a panic, so they had to withdraw from the north gate. But before leaving, a fire burned down the granary. We tried our best to extinguish the fire, but we could not save a single piece of food. ”

"How can this be?" Cen Pei looked shocked.

"We only had a small amount of food with the army, which barely lasted four or five days. Chen Sheng continued, "Although the general sent a messenger to ask for help, Danyang raised troops and food, and I am afraid that it will not be able to come. And although the enemy withdraws, he will definitely send troops to retake Bashui County as soon as possible! Once our army is surrounded, there is no military rations, and there is a shortage of troops, we will be trapped in the city!"

"Then you can only abandon the city and retreat in advance?" Cen Pei frowned.

"In yesterday's battle, our army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and now that it is difficult to occupy Bashui County, how can we withdraw?" Jia Zhengjin sighed, "When the time comes, how will you let me face Your Majesty?"

"This ......"

"Now I know why General Ben reprimanded you?" Jia Zhengjin locked his eyes on Cen Pei, "The decision you made to disobey the military order is to throw General Ben on a fire in a dilemma!"

"The last general will be guilty!" Cen Pei hurriedly knelt down.

Diao Jun, Chen Sheng, and Yang Ting also quickly knelt down.

"Okay, okay! What's the use of talking about this now?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Now our army can no longer retreat, and the enemy army is bound to make a comeback." For the sake of now, we can only try to solve the problem of soldiers and rations!"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
