Chapter 243: Execution without permission
After listening to Ling Wuya's narration, Lin Haotian touched his chin, pondered, and pondered for a moment, he asked: "Wuya, in your opinion, should our army continue to stay in Jiangxi to rest now, or should we go west to take Xiangyang?"
Ling Wuya frowned and said, "If you want to take Xiangyang directly, it will be extremely difficult, it is best to let the Red Army attack Xiangyang one step ahead of our army, and when the two sides are exhausted, our army will appear again and clean up the mess." ”
"Yes!" Lin Haotian said with a smile: "But the Red Army is not a fool, maybe the commander of the Red Army is the same as you think, waiting for us to attack Xiangyang first, so he can sit and take advantage of the fish urn!"
This is very possible! Ling Wuya did not deny Lin Haotian's speculation, his eyes rolled, and he said faintly: "Your Excellency can now send two armies to the south. ”
"Why is that?"
"First, if we can't completely annihilate the Zhou side of the first Zhou side who fled into Wangfeng County, it will be a big trouble for our henchmen, and the two counties of Jiangxi and Jiangdong may become the target of the other party's attack, and the rear of our army will never be at peace. ”
Lin Haotian and the other generals all nodded their heads, feeling that what Ling Wuya really said was extremely reasonable.
Ling Wuya continued: "Second, assist the Red Army attacking Jiashang County, and help the Red Army annihilate the wooden army hoarded in Jiashang County, so that it can create the illusion that Xiangyang is strong in the south and weak in the east, and the red is strong and the gold is weak. ”
"En!" Lin Haotian pondered while listening, raised his head and said, "Go on." ”
"Wangfeng County, west of Jiangxi County, is reported to have gathered about 50,000 wooden troops in an attempt to prevent our army from advancing westward. ”
Seeing that everyone's faces changed at the same time. Ling Wuya smiled slightly and continued: "As long as we make the illusion that our army's westward advance is blocked, and the Red Army's northward march is like a bamboo, at that time, Liu Ji will definitely devote the strength of the whole country to fight the Red Army to the death. And if there is no time to take care of us, then our army can take the opportunity to attack Mudu in one fell swoop!"
After Ling Wuya finished speaking, Lin Haotian raised his face and laughed, and praised repeatedly: "Good plan, really good plan! Everyone, what do you think?"
All the generals had no objections, and said in unison: "General Ling's plan is very good. ”
"Okay, then let's do it according to the meaning of Wuyan!" Lin Haotian said: "Send two armies south...... I wonder which general would like to go?"
Didn't wait for anyone else to speak. Ding Fengxian stepped forward and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to pursue the remnants of the Zhou side, and vow to wipe out the thieves and cut the grass to the roots." ”
Attacking the wooden camp, the First Army suffered heavy losses, Ding Feng naturally wanted to take revenge, and raised Zhou Fang's head to pay tribute to the heroic spirit of his fallen brother.
Lin Haotian thought about it. Feeling that the pursuit of Zhou Fang by the First Legion would most reassure him, he immediately nodded and responded, "Okay." Ding Feng, the task of annihilating the first division of the Zhou Fang is entrusted to you, but is the strength of your first army enough?"
Without waiting for Ding Feng to speak, Ling Wuya preemptively said: "The reinforcements dispatched by Changyu and Shangpu are already on the way, and they will arrive within three days." It is not too late to wait for the First Army to fill in some forces before moving south to annihilate the enemy. ”
Ding Feng had no opinion, and after the battle of Wangjiang, the strength of the First Army was indeed seriously reduced, he nodded and said, "Okay, according to General Bi's opinion." ”
"Yes!" Lin Haotian nodded. Then he asked, "Well, who wants to come to the aid of the Red Army?"
People were willing to follow Lin Haotian to fight, and they were reluctant to help the Red Kingdom fight, and after Lin Haotian finished asking, the four commanders were silent.
In the end, it was Dou Bo who broke the silence and said, "My lord, let the last general lead the third army forward!"
From Jiangxi to Jiashang County, the places passed through are all the territory of the Mu Kingdom, and there are many crises, and a reflexive commander is needed, and Dou Bo is of course one of the best candidates.
Lin Haotian had no opinion, and then said: "After the reinforcements arrive, Dou Bo and Ding Feng will set off together. ”
"Yes, my lord!" Ding Feng and Dou Bo gave their hands to the order.
Lin Haotian and his subordinates finalized the general strategic direction for the future, and then waved their hands and sent everyone back to rest.
The next day, early in the morning.
Lin Haotian was sleeping in his sleeping tent when he heard someone outside the tent shouting urgently: "My lord?"
In the continuous shouting, Lin Haotian woke up slowly, he cursed secretly in his heart, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"My lord, General Gu and General Shao ask to meet!" The chief of the guard outside the tent heard Lin Haotian's unkind tone, and replied in a trembling whisper.
Gu Liangyun and Shao Lin? What are they doing so early? Lin Haotian turned over and sat up from the bed, slowed down for a while, cleared his mind a little, and then said, "Let them come in!"
"Yes, sir!"
It didn't take long for Gu Liangyun and Shao Lin to approach from outside the tent.
At this time, Lin Haotian was still in a half-asleep haze, he scratched his hair indiscriminately, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's the matter?
"It's not ......" Gu Liangyun and Shao Lin said at the same time, the two glanced at each other, Shao Lin smiled bitterly: "General Gu, let's talk about it!"
Gu Liangyun took two steps forward and said angrily: "My lord, the officers and men of our army were arrested by the other three armies and hundreds of people, and now they are all going to be executed, General Shao and I went to stop it, but we couldn't stop it at all, aren't Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Dou Bo cooperating to bully people?"
"Huh?" Lin Haotian was stunned by his brainless words, his mind was full of inexplicability, and he couldn't even react a little, who arrested whom? Who is going to execute whom?
Gu Liangyun continued unrelentingly: "The Fourth Legion is the close army of adults, and it is inevitable that they will be hated, but Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Dou Bo blatantly want to execute the soldiers of the Fourth Legion, they simply don't take adults seriously, and even, they are simply going to rebel......
Shao Lin, who was on the side, suddenly felt a big head when he heard this, how could the word rebellion be said nonsense? He coughed heavily, suggesting that Gu Liangyun should stop talking nonsense.
Lin Haotian frowned, turned his head to look at Shao Lin, and asked, "Shao Lin, what's going on, let's be more detailed." ”
Shao Lin arched his hand and said: "In the middle of the night, Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Dou Bo suddenly checked the private belongings of the soldiers of the whole army, and found gold and silver in the private belongings of some soldiers of our army.
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Haotian was completely sleepy, stunned on the bed for a moment, waved his hand and lifted the quilt, and walked out of bed, not even wearing a shirt, just simply put on a middle coat and followed Gu Liangyun and Shao Lin to the school military field.
Now that the sky is only getting bright, the military yard in the camp of the Jin Army is extremely lively, and as far as the eye can see, there is a sea of people, and there are more than 100,000 officers and men of the Jin Army gathered around the military yard of the school.
The guards took the lead in stepping forward to open the way for Lin Haotian, and under the escort of Gu Liangyun, Shao Lin and others, Lin Haotian walked into the school military field.
Seeing that the adults had arrived, the soldiers of the Jin Army who were watching around knelt on the ground and saluted.
Lin Haotian ignored the people around him, raised his eyes and looked forward, okay, he saw that there were more than 500 people kneeling in the center of the school military field, and there were about 1,000 soldiers and 100 executioners with ghost head knives standing around.
Looking ahead, not only Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Dou Bo were there, but Peng Qian, Chu Lianyu, Bi Wen, Ling Wuya and others were all there, and even Lu Kai, who had not completely recovered from his injuries, was present.
It is rare for people to gather so completely, and the irony is that in order to execute his own soldiers, Lin Haotian was depressed in his heart and stepped forward with a cold face.
"Your Excellency!"
The generals knelt down on one knee one after another and greeted Lin Haotian.
And the soldiers of the Jin Army who were about to be executed turned around one after another, knelt down facing Lin Haotian, and cried and shouted: "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life-"
Seeing the soldiers under his command crying with a handful of snot and tears, Lin Haotian was angry and funny, he shouted coldly: "You don't cry when you bleed and sweat on the battlefield, what are you crying now?" After speaking, he looked around at Chu Lianyu, Ding Feng and others, and asked, "Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Dou Bo took a step forward and said loudly: "Lord Hui, these soldiers will hide the spoils of war privately, and they should be beheaded according to the law!"
Lin Haotian's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he said quietly: "It's just a few loot hidden, why do you make such a big move?"
Dou Bo replied: "Your Excellency will not forget what was discussed yesterday, right? The last general and others have clearly vowed to severely punish those who violate military discipline, and your Excellency has also agreed, and these soldiers who are found to have hidden their property today and refuse to report it should naturally be punished according to military law!"
