In the Vietnamese military camp, the Chinese army has a big tent.

Chen Qingyun, Yan Hu, Xiao Keding and other major generals gathered together.

The few generals who fought before had just replaced their blood-stained armor, and they all looked quite excited, especially the two Xiao family brothers, whose faces were still flushed, and when they looked at Sun Ning in the upper seat, their eyes were full of admiration.

You must know that his Xiao family has been in Sichuan and Shu for more than ten years, and he has never raised his eyebrows as much as he does today, and he was able to kill the most feared barbarians in the past to a big defeat and loss, with countless casualties, which is a result that he can't even dream of on weekdays.

And now, under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, they only fought a battle, and they played the prestige of the Dayue official army, which was enough to completely impress the two.

So when everyone arrived and paid homage to Sun Ning together, they all shouted very loudly: "See Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up, sit down and talk." Sun Ning seemed quite calm, such a result seemed to be nothing to him, and there was even a hint of gloom on his face.

After everyone was seated, he looked at Yan Hu: "How is it, have you arranged for the soldiers to enter the camp to rest?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have already made all the arrangements, and the food has been sent to the various accounts, so that the soldiers will not starve. In addition, the wounded generals were also sent to the wounded barracks at the back for treatment. ”

"Well, you're doing a good job." Sun Ning showed a smile at this time, but then asked again, "What about the casualties of our army?" ”

"After counting, there were 132 war dead, 227 seriously wounded, and about 500 minor wounds, most of which were only flesh wounds, which can be recovered after a day or two of rest." Yan Hu reported in a clear and coherent manner.

This data made the faces of all the generals in the tent change slightly, but they didn't expect their own casualties to be so heavy, and they were almost a thousand together.

You must know that there are only 5,000 people in the camp now, and this battle has actually been folded by 20%, which makes everyone's pride in their hearts disappear just now, and the atmosphere is depressed.

Feeling this, Yan Hu hurriedly added: "But this time we are a big barbarian, and we hastily estimate that the number of enemies killed has exceeded 1,000, and the number of injured people is more than 2,000. Moreover, the minister believes that the remaining barbarians in Hezhou City must be greatly panicked and their fighting spirit will be greatly damaged......"

"This is a matter of course, in this battle, we broke his two frontal attacks in a row, and it can be regarded as defeating their main force in one fell swoop." Sun Ning also said with a straight face, "It is not an exaggeration to say that our army has won a big victory. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, it is true!" The generals chimed in and rejoiced.

But Sun Ning quickly turned his face again: "However, this battle has also exposed many problems in the initial formation of the new army of the Japanese battalion, which need to be summed up and conveyed to the following in order to change." ”

The generals were shocked, and immediately straightened their waists one by one, and promised in unison: "Please also ask Your Majesty to show me." ”

"First, even when the expedition is out, it is still too hasty and underestimates the enemy. This is the fault of my commander, I should have guarded against the enemy who might attack the barracks at night while I was new, but I thought that the barbarians were not so smart, so I relaxed......"

"Your Majesty, this is not yours, it is the minister's fault......" Chen Qingyun hurriedly wanted to take the fault on himself, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Ning waving his hand.

"You did have it, but you didn't remind you in time, and I was the one who really made the decision. This matter was circulated to the whole camp before today, and I will also admit my mistake to the soldiers! ”

"Your Majesty......" This time, the generals didn't know what to say, only their eyes were full of emotion and admiration.

What is the rarest thing about a superior and an emperor?

It is not always the most accurate judgment and the most timely order, but the courage to admit mistakes and correct them.

As the emperor, Sun Ning did not care about his own wisdom so much, just for the sake of serious military affairs, which was enough to set an example for the whole army and made everyone reverent.

"Second, it lies in being too greedy for victory and chasing the enemy too far." Sun Ning continued, "Knowing that with our strength, it is impossible to capture the city in one battle, nor can we wipe out the enemy army, but we still pursue and kill all the way regardless of the danger, if it weren't for Yan Hu's timely gold, I'm afraid we would have crashed into the enemy's formation and turned from victory to defeat." ”

"What Your Majesty said is that this is all a dereliction of duty by the ministers Meng Lang, and it is really a matter of Your Majesty's trust!"

"It's the minister who is confused, I didn't even think of this, and I ask Your Majesty to punish ......"

For a while, several generals got up one after another to admit their mistakes, and they no longer had the hesitation and smugness they had before.

Sun Ning waved his hand: "If you really want to talk about the crime, my sin is not small, so I will not punish you, let's learn a lesson together to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past in the future." Then, it is to write the whole army again, and let the soldiers know our mistakes. ”

There is no specific punishment, but such a direct statement to admit the mistake to his subordinates is enough to make many generals feel disgraced.

But when Sun Ning, the emperor, took the lead in admitting his mistakes, how could the other courtiers dare to be dissatisfied?

Sun Ning smiled at them with satisfaction, and then looked at Yan Hu again: "So, if you really talk about who has the most credit in today's battle, I think that when you push General Yan Hu, you should be the first to take the credit." ”

Yan Hu hurriedly got up and pushed: "Your Majesty, don't you dare to do this...... Compared with the generals who led the army in front, the ministers only stayed in the camp, what credit can be discussed?

"As for Mingjin's move to withdraw troops, it is just a matter of taking advantage of the situation, I think that any general in the camp can make the same judgment as the minister according to the situation."

"No, your credit is the number one of the generals. It is important for us to wait for the first killing, but you are the root of protecting my army, Yanhu, you don't have to push back anymore. Sun Ning shook his head, "Moreover, you are also acting under orders when you stay in the camp, which is the same as the generals who rushed to kill the front." ”

When the others saw that Sun Ning had made up their minds, they all spoke out to persuade them, and Yan Hu received this credit.

"As for the other credits, I will discuss them with you after the city is really broken." Sun Ning said with a smile, "Especially the soldiers under our command, this time they are even more brave in battle, and everyone has meritorious."

Of course, this battle also exposed a lot of shortcomings, such as the cooperation between the brigades is still not skillful enough, and the soldiers are still a little timid when they first engage in the battle, and they need the generals to lead by example and rush to the front.

"These problems need to be improved little by little in the next battles and drills......

As the focus of the topic fell on the soldiers under his command, everyone spoke more freely, and several generals expressed some of their opinions one after another, feeling what needed to be improved.

At this time, it also reflects another characteristic of the current Japanese battalion officer army that is different from the mature army, there is no mountaineering, and the generals can speak freely among themselves, not afraid of offending people.

Only in this way can the entire army quickly correct and make amends for problems after finding out and make continuous progress.

Just when they were discussing and in full swing, there was a sudden shout outside the tent: "I don't accept it...... Lao Tzu was not convinced...... I want to see Your Majesty......"
