Chapter 220: The Belated Army
No one doubted Shangguan Xiong's words, and he was also surprised by the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion behind him.
They were already amazed by Shangguan Qiuyu's capture of Qiguan so easily.
Now, when he heard what Shangguan Xiong said, he was even more curious about Shangguan Qiuyu.
Shangguan Xiong's words were not concealed at all, even Tie Ying and Ying Lao, who were far away in Qiguan City, together with Han Qinghu, heard it clearly.
Tie Ying and Ying Lao have been following Shangguan Qiuyu's side, and they naturally know these things, except for the flooded barbarian army, the others have all experienced and seen it personally.
But Han Qinghu on the side didn't know, he always thought that he was like a god, and it was his old boss Zhenguo Gong Shangguanxiong who broke the insight into everything.
And now, his old boss Shangguan Xiong told everything in front of both the enemy and me, which made him glare at Shangguan Qiuyu in front of him with a pair of bull's eyes.
Not only him, Han Qinghu, but others also didn't expect Shangguan Xiong to praise his grandson Shangguan Qiuyu like this in front of the two armies.
According to what they knew about Shangguan Xiong, he would definitely not be like this, and boasting in private was enough to surprise them.
What's more, in front of so many people like this, they have never thought about it.
Now, Shangguan Xiong said it so unabashedly, today's events will definitely spread throughout Dayu in a very short time.
At that time, Shangguan Qiuyu's credit cannot be erased, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Shangguan Xiong wants to push his grandson to the top of the rhythm.
Otherwise, the above official family's consistent conventions and formal norms will definitely require Shangguan Qiuyu to hone his skills in the army, and then climb up step by step to praise his military exploits.
In fact, as Shangguan Qiuyu's grandfather, Shangguan Xiong, he didn't want his grandson to climb too fast, so that the foundation was unstable.
But the credit for destroying the Southern Barbarian army this time is too great, and these are indeed the real credits of Shangguan Qiuyu.
Everyone saw that as Shangguan Qiuyu's grandfather, he was also not good at erasing his grandson's military exploits.
Although he can erase the credit of his grandson in one sentence, if this is the case, won't his own grandson's hard work be in vain?
At the same time, he thought that if he really erased the credit of his grandson Shangguan Qiuyu, would this make the relationship between them not very familiar.
As a result, there was a misunderstanding of his grandfather, and when the time came, the two would be estranged, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
Moreover, now he has left the local army and returned to the center.
If Shangguan Qiuyu is sent to continue to hone, at that time, he will not be able to teach his grandson in Yucheng personally.
Moreover, he finally has a relative who can talk, and if this makes it difficult for the two to see each other.
Isn't that like not finding his grandson, he can still only stay alone in the cold Zhenguo Mansion.
Perhaps, the former Shangguan Xiong didn't attach much importance to family affection, but now that he is getting old, after more than ten years of loneliness, he attaches great importance to and longs for the family affection that he didn't care about.
This may be the so-called, a person, only when a thing, or a person loses, can they know how to cherish it, and only then can they understand the preciousness of its existence.
"Knock knock..."
Not far away, a dull sound sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see an army with the word Dayu erected in the direction of Qiguan quickly.
Among them, the word Shangguan is written on the flag of the Chinese army, which means that its main general is the official of the town and the country, but there is no one under the banner.
But it was reserved for Shangguan Xiong, who rode on horseback with 100,000 iron.
Soon, in the vast crowd of people, hundreds of horses galloped out, coming to Shangguanxiong and the others.
"Stepping on ......"
"Phew"
I saw more than a dozen generals leading the escort team to Shangguan Xiong, and ten steps away from Shangguan Xiong, they all dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said:
"The last general, see the commander. ”
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiong stepped forward with a horse, waved his horsewhip, and said very majestically:
"An hour slow. ”
"The last general will be convicted, and after the war, I hope the marshal will punish him. The generals did not defend themselves, and knelt down on one knee in unison to admit their guilt.
Shangguan Xiong beat his horse and circled around a dozen generals, and then said:
"Nian Ben Shuai is not thoughtful, this time, if there is a military law next time. ”
When he came, he forgot that the torrent of the Jishui River would inevitably pass through the army under his own command from Tianyuan City.
In this way, it is understandable that they are late, and he is not an unreasonable person.
At the same time, he also blames himself for his poor consideration, but he can't blame them completely.
However, in the army, the orders issued by its generals, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, regardless of the reason, must be resolutely carried out as subordinates.
This is the army, even if you encounter any difficulties in the process, it is your own business, and most of the army only asks for the result, not about the process.
Today, if Shangguan Xiong is in a good mood and does not want to pursue it, he will blame part of the blame on himself, so as to avoid the punishment of the generals, but the punishment of all of them is indispensable.
"Marshal Xie"
After hearing Shangguan Xiong's words, the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't relax at all along the way.
Along the way, in order to ensure that the soldiers could enter the battle immediately after arriving at the battlefield, they did not dare to let the soldiers march too fast.
So as not to make their own army unable to kill the enemy because of fatigue after arriving on the battlefield, causing unnecessary losses.
Originally, Shangguan Xiong informed them in advance, and if there was no accident, he should be able to reach Qiguan City with Shangguan Xiong at the same time.
It's just that Shangguan Xiong has taken one step less, that is, to draw water and torrent it retreats, and it just has to pass through the road that the army of Tianyuan City must pass.
In order to wait for the flood water to recede, they only delayed for an hour, which made the generals already think about the preparation for punishment when they were on the road.
After all, Zhenguo Gong Shangguan Xiong has always been strict in governing the army, and delaying fighters like them can be big or small.
The heavier ones should be engaged in military law. If it is light, it is inevitable that he will be beaten and demoted to a military position.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Shangguan Xiong would actually lift it high and put it down gently. Letting them go so easily was a result that none of the generals expected.
In fact, the reason why Shangguan Xiong was raised high and gently put down like this also had his own considerations.
When the army had just arrived, he saw that although the soldiers were in a hurry, they all had spare strength.
From this point of view, they can do it immediately, to the standard of fighting immediately on the battlefield.
It can be seen from this that more than a dozen of them, as commanders, did not forcibly urge the troops to march in a hurry for fear that they would be punished by military law, causing the entire non-commissioned officers to be overtired.
In this way, as the commander of the whole army, how can he punish these generals who put the overall situation first.
Besides, he is leading cavalry, coming and going like the wind, even if he loses on the battlefield, he will not have much loss.
In this way, after weighing it again, he lost the desire to ask them for his guilt.
