Wu has never had a tradition of "overthrowing the army and killing generals".

However, if the whole army is annihilated, the generals must be duty-bound.

As a general of the Wu army with a high sense of honor, he generally chooses to apologize for his crime with death, rather than waiting for Qingji to give an order for a capital crime.

I saw that Gou Jian at this time had a sad and indignant look on his face, and kowtowed to Qingji and said: "King, the minister lost Jinjiling, so that the army lost 100,000 stone of grain, and almost wiped out the entire army of soldiers and horses, which is the minister's sin and capital crime." ”

"The minister knows that the blame cannot be escaped, and he does not seek to live, nor does he have the face to see the king again. It's just that the situation was critical at that time, and the minister, as the main general, if he drew his sword and killed himself, I am afraid that very few soldiers and horses under his command could escape! ”

"Besides, it is a coward's behavior to kill oneself in battle, and the ministers must fight to the death with dignity, and no matter how bad it is, they will go to the king to confess the guilt!"

"Now, the minister is leading three or four thousand people back to Ye County, hoping that the king will die."

"Minister, die without regrets!"

As soon as the words fell, Gou Jian slammed his head on the floor, and blood came out raw!

Qingji's eyes were cold, and he waved his big hand and said, "Well said!" ”

"Gou Jian lost his soldiers, lost his position, and lost 100,000 stones and grains of the army, his crime is unforgivable! Come on, drag Gou Jian out and cut it off! ”

"Ming Zheng's punishment!"

"No!"

Two guards rushed in and were about to take Gou Jian away and pull him out to kill him.

"Wait!"

At the critical moment, Gongzizhang hurriedly stopped, and knelt down towards Qingji on the handsome throne and said, "Father, stop your anger!" ”

"Wu Zhang, do you want to intercede for Gou Jian?"

"Father, the defeat of Wei Wei is also excusable!"

Gongzizhang gritted his teeth and said: "Happy that guy, actually conspired with Bo Biao to betray my Wu country, in the Jinjiling camp, half of the soldiers and horses are Bo Biao, Happy old department, they should cooperate with the outside, collude with the enemy army to seize the camp, no one is powerless to stop." ”

"It's not easy for Wei Wei to lead three or four thousand men and horses out of the encirclement."

"I also ask my father to read the countless meritorious contributions that Weiwei has made for my Great Wu, and the credit will be atoned, and the Weiwei will not die!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji said surgingly: "Wu Zhang, my Wu Guo's merits and demerits cannot be offset." Although Gou Jian has a lot of military exploits, the death penalty cannot be exempted. ”

"My lord, the minister thinks what Brother Zhang said is very true."

Gongzi Hong, who has always been lenient and benevolent, said: "The loss of Jinjiling really can't be blamed entirely on the guards. ”

"No one else can keep the Jinjiling camp in that situation."

"Besides, it is really a taboo for soldiers to behead generals in battle, please ask my father to know it!"

Gongzizhang is Gou Jian's nephew and nephew.

Therefore, it makes sense for Gongzizhang to intercede for Gou Jian, why can Gongzihong still intercede for Gou Jian?

Back then, Gongzihong missed the position of the prince, and he was also calculated.

This kid is so merciful!

Qingji shook his head secretly.

"King, let's let Wei Wei atone for his crimes!"

Generals such as Xu Menchao, Zhanru, Heifu, Xiong Zidan and other generals all stood up to intercede for Gou Jian.

I have to admit that Gou Jian has indeed been popular in Wu for so many years.

Qingji thought for a while, and then said: "Gou Jian, the widow will spare you from death." In this battle, you must fight bravely to kill the enemy and make contributions to my Great Wu, if not, you will be punished for several crimes, and no one will be able to protect you at that time. ”

"No!" Gou Jian knelt down with a thousand thanks.

"King, now that our army has lost Jinjiling and lost the first battle, what should we do next? Is it to recapture Jinjiling? ”

Heifu asked, confused.

Before Qingji could speak, Gongzi Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Bo Tuo, you dare to betray your father." Father, please send someone back to Xianyang and execute all the family scrolls of Bo Biao to set an example! ”

"Let's not talk about Bo Yan's affairs first, after all, he has a merit to my Wu country, and the widow will not be too mean."

Qing Ji said: "The top priority is to deal with the next war. ”

"After the loss of Jinji Ridge, the enemy army got an important position."

"The intention of the widow is to set the place of the decisive battle in Huanshui. After a day's rest, the whole army marched to both sides of the Huanshui River to build a barracks, and the outnumbered Chinese army also moved there. ”

"No!"

……

With the main force of the Wu army stationed on the front line of Huanshui, more than 300,000 soldiers and horses were deployed, and the movement was so great that it could not hide the scouts of the coalition army.

The coalition army also followed to the front line of Jinjiling and Zhongmu, and the big tent of the Chinese army was set up in Zhongmu County, with hundreds of thousands of troops camping hundreds of miles.

Following the capture of Jinjiling, the coalition forces concentrated their superior forces and attacked the Li Shan camp of the Wu army, trying to pull out an important position of the Wu army.

It's a pity that this time Qingji didn't give the coalition this chance.

Whenever the coalition army launched an attack on the Lishan camp, on the Huanshui side, the Wu army would always send troops to attack from the flank, causing a lot of casualties to the coalition army.

The war was stalemate for a while.

At the critical moment, it was Bo Yan who took the initiative to make suggestions.

"King, the fortifications of the Lishan camp are too strong, and Tian Sui Tho is a good general, so I think that instead of desperately attacking Lishan, our army should instead attack the Wu army on the front line of Huanshui."

Hearing this, before Lu Ren could speak, Tian Heng, who was standing on the side, shook his head and said, "Uncle, the first line of Huanshui is the main force of the Wu army. They occupy water villages and rivers, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many soldiers and horses, and in the wilderness, our coalition army cannot take advantage. ”

"If you attack the Chinese army camp of the Wu army and capture and kill Wu Wang Qingji, what should it be?"

Bo said with a smile.

"Shhh

Hearing this, the princes and doctors present couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

Tian Heng asked in disbelief: "Uncle, listen to what you mean, is there a way to make my army capture and kill King Wu?" ”

"I don't dare to say that I can capture and kill Wu Wang Qingji, at least I can let the door of the Chinese army camp where Qingji is located open wide and let our army rush in."

"This ...... How? ”

Everyone was puzzled.

Bo Yan said slowly: "I sent a secret message from the old department of Wu Ying. Wei Wei Gou Jian, because of the loss of the Jinjiling camp, was almost executed by Qingji, but fortunately, the generals interceded, which saved Gou Jian's life. ”

"However, capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. Gou Jian was deprived of all his fame and was demoted to a military official guarding the camp gate, which made him dissatisfied. ”

"If we can persuade Gou Jian to surrender, open the camp gate, and make our army enter the Chinese army camp of King Wu, presumably the Wu army will be unable to defend against it. If you can capture and kill Qingji in one fell swoop, the Wu army will be defeated in this battle, and our army will win! ”33

"Good!"

Tian Heng and Lu Ren glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths rose wildly.

Immediately, Bo Yi repaired a letter and sent someone to take advantage of the night to quietly send it to the Wu army camp.

This secret letter was given to Gou Jian in the eyes of others.

After the Battle of Jinjiling, Bo Biao has won the trust of the princes of all countries.

This time, if we can successfully break through the Chinese army camp of the Wu army and seize Qingji, there must be no need for this battle to continue.

Some people died, but not completely......
