Chapter 458: The Principle of Being a Monarch

"The king, the minister is guilty! There is no redemption for a hundred deaths! Please, the king, punish the sin! ”

Outside the city, the coalition army camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, at this time, Tingwei Bo snorted and knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, begging Qingji to punish the crime.

Originally, Qingji was supervising the battle on the front line, but suddenly received the news that Bo Biao's grain transportation team was ambushed by the Chu army and the whole army was wiped out.

This caught Qingji off guard, and hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops and stopped continuing to attack Suicheng.

The fact that the allied army's grain and baggage were burned to the ground was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the allied army.

Seeing that Qing Ji sitting in the handsome seat was silent, Bo Ji knew that he was guilty, and he cried busily: "King, this is the fault of the minister!" ”

"The minister mistakenly believed those local Chu people, and he didn't expect that there were still thousands of boat masters in the Chu State, haunting the Qingfa water, and colluding with the Chu people in the team inside and outside."

"So much so that the grain and straw of our coalition army were burned by the Chu people!"

"Minister, I have failed the king's high hopes!"

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Heifu and other generals who were present also had solemn faces after learning that all the grain and baggage of the coalition army had been burned, and they were not very good-looking.

Not to mention the heavy military baggage, the 100,000 stone of grain is the rations of the soldiers of the coalition army!

At this time and a half, tens of thousands of allied soldiers have run out of food, how can they continue to fight, how can they not mutiny?

However, this is not actually to blame on Bo's head.

After all, no one expected that the Chu people still had a back hand at this time, and the Chu Guozhou division of thousands of people had been dormant on the Qingfa water, standing still.

Shen Zhuliang's purpose must be to take the opportunity to let this lone army cut off the food route of the coalition army, so that Qingji can retreat despite the difficulties.

You must know that the combatable soldiers under the command of Bo Yan are only a thousand people, and they really can't stop the fierce attack of the Chu people.

Even if there is no Chu people in the grain transportation team, and they collude with the Chu army boat division on the river, presumably Bo's grain transportation team will not escape such a fate.

Including Qingji, Sun Wu, and Wu Zixu, they didn't expect the Chu people to have this trick!

Cutting off the grain route and putting the enemy in an embarrassment is clearly the usual tactics of Qingji.

Back then, Qingji relied on this trick to win more with less, and forced Shen Zhuliang's father Shen Yinshu to lead the army to surrender, and finally Shen Yinshu was defeated and killed himself.

Unexpectedly, this trick was actually learned by Shen Zhuliang.

Qingji is really, fighting geese all day long actually taught geese to peck blind!

For this kind of thing, Qingji is also very angry in his heart.

However, Qingji knew that it would be useless to blame Bo Yu or get angry at this time.

"Get up!"

Qingji slowly stood up, came to Bo Biao and said softly.

"The King's ......"

Bo Tu was still wiping tears from his eyes.

It was not easy for him to escape death this time, and his body was covered with dried blood, both from enemies and his own.

At this moment, Bo Yan also had one or two arrow wounds on his body, his hair was messy, and he didn't know where the battle helmet was thrown away, and the whole person looked very embarrassed.

"Bo Ng, you have disappointed the widow too much."

Qingji shook his head, looked at Bo Yan and reprimanded: "A manly man, what kind of body is it to cry in front of everyone?" ”

"Don't cry!"

"Failure once or twice, it's not terrible, what is terrible is that you can't be ashamed and brave!"

Qingji personally helped Bo Yan up, and said earnestly: "It's just that some grain and straw have been lost, and some soldiers and men have died!" ”

"It doesn't matter! It's good to be alive! Bo Ng, if you come back alive, it will be the biggest victory of my Wu country! This is the most gratifying thing for the widow! ”

As soon as he heard this, Bo Yan couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with tears: "King, minister...... The minister is really ashamed! The minister has no shame to face the king, and he can't wait to draw his sword and kill himself at that time! ”

"The Exotic Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"

"Please punish the king!"

The current Bo Biao has mixed feelings in his heart, both ashamed, moved, and very resentful.

He is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and after realizing that he could not stop the attack of the Chu army, he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet, otherwise he would not be able to run to see Qingji everywhere alive.

Draw your sword and kill yourself?

This seemed to him a very stupid thing.

Bo Yan hasn't enjoyed enough in his life, and he doesn't want to die.

At the time of the defeat, Bo Yan thought for a long time, and there were three paths in front of him at that time.

First, fight to the death.

Second, flee back to the place.

Third, he fled to the Central Plains (Jin Kingdom).

The first option was directly ruled out by Bo Bei, and the third option was that Bo Bi was absconding in fear of crime.

Although Wu does not have the tradition of destroying the army and killing generals, it will not be spared for a defeated general like Bo Yu.

Fleeing back to the ground, Bo Yan thought about the possible fate he faced.

was ordered to be executed by Qingji, beheaded for public display, or deprived of all official titles, and the merit was redeemed.

This was unacceptable to Bo Biao, so he planned to flee to the Central Plains, preferably to get the protection of the Jin State.

However, after thinking about it, Bo Biao still gave up this idea.

Because he can have today, he relies on the reuse and trust of Wu Wang Qingji.

Leaving Qingji and leaving Wu Guo, Bo Yu is nothing.

Even if he can get an official and a half-position in the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Bo Yi to be really prosperous and rich, and he will be inexhaustible in his life, and he will end up with a notoriety that is scolded by the Wu people and has a bad reputation.

For this reason, Bo Yu hurriedly fled back to the place and informed Qingji of the ins and outs of the matter.

Bo Ji thought that he would be severely punished by Qingji, but he didn't expect Qingji to say such words of encouragement.

How can this make Bo Bian not grateful?

Death for a confidant!

At this moment, Bo Yu hates to die on the shores of Qingfa Water and sacrifice his life for the country!

Because Qingji's kindness is something he can't repay.

The generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, seeing Qingji defending and encouraging Bo Ji like this, were also inspired by Qingji's benevolence and leniency.

If this was put on the Chu people, I am afraid that the defeated generals who did such things would have been pulled out and beheaded for public display.

Qingji can forgive Bo Bi, and he also speaks of relief!

How merciful is that?

Qingji just used this method to gather a wave of people's hearts.

In this era, human life is indeed not valuable.

If ordinary soldiers heard these words of Qingji, they might have some thoughts in their hearts.

Fortunately, all the people present are generals, and they don't care too much about the lives of their subordinates.

"Come on, take Bo Yan down and beat him with thirty sticks! Stay on board! Are you convinced? ”

Qingji set his eyes on Bo Biao's body.

Bo Yi immediately bowed his body, and said gratefully to Qingji: "Surrender and obey!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Bo Yan followed the two guards down to be punished.

Bo Ji should be grateful for Qingji's grace of not killing.

Staying in office to be used can make Bo Biao redeem his credit, otherwise he will definitely be settled after the war.

For Bo Ji, Qingji must also be punished with a small punishment and a big warning, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.

Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, this is a major principle of being a monarch!

And Qingji has such a radish in one hand and a stick in the other, not only can he convince the public, but he also has no regrets.
