Chapter 80
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Pin had heard Liu Jing shouting to keep someone under the knife outside the tent. He was stunned. Could it be that Liu Jing and this small governor had any friendship?
Logically, Liu Jing's position is not high, he is just a small military marquis. He is not qualified to plead for Wei Yan, but his identity is special. He is Liu Biao's nephew, and even Cai Mao has to give him a face.
However, the recruitment has always been strict and upright, and it is probably not so easy to ask him to spare Wei Yan. Liu Jing was uneasy and had to bite the bullet and say, "It is hard to find a good general in Jingzhou. I hope the general will spare Wei Yan's life."
Pin looked at Liu Jing for a long time and said lightly: "Mr. Jing will also become a general who leads troops in the future. The military law is like a mountain. If you should be killed, you will spare your life, and you should be punished but nothing will happen. In this way, how can King. Jing convince the public?"
"This..." Liu Jing didn't understand Wei Yan's situation and could not find a reason to plead for a while.
At this time, Wei Yan shouted outside the tent: "Military law is good, but I, Wei Yan, will not be punished until I die. If the general is punished with a heavy punishment, how can I convince the public?"
Pin's face changed. Wei Yan's eyes were about to shout, but Liu Jing seized the opportunity and said, "Shiang, can you listen to his defense again? Otherwise, killing the soldiers by chance will also damage the reputation of the Shiang's army."
In fact, Pin also wanted to hear Wei Yan's explanation, and he felt vaguely that things might not be that simple.
However, Wei Yan's position is low and he can't take this position for a while. Now that Liu Jing has pleaded for mercy, he will go with the flow.
"For the sake of Gong Jing, I will give him a chance to defend himself and advance it."
Several soldiers pushed Wei Yan in, pressed him down, and looked at him coldly and said, "Speak up if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it out."
Wei Yan escaped from death and looked at Liu Jing gratefully, then said in a deep voice: "There is a lack of patrols, which led to the scouts of Cao's army approaching the tent. The criminal was not afraid to shirk their guilt, but the military officer was the chief of the village. He applied to the military officer to bring all fifty brothers out of the camp in advance, but the military officer refused and allowed me to take twenty people, which led to insufficient patrol troops. Although the military officer was a serious crime, the military officer also had the crime of sending troops to the wrong plan."
Pin walked a few steps behind his back, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Did you tell your boss why you should bring fifty patrol soldiers?"
"I said that if you have to patrol ten miles, twenty subordinates are definitely not enough, and there will be loopholes. However, the Junhou did not listen and said that only twenty people were given, not one more."
Pin was slightly angry in his heart and said to his personal soldiers: "Come this man's military marquis for me."
A soldier ran away, and soon after, he brought two officers, one of whom was the Marquis of Military Affairs, Wei Yan's immediate boss, and the other was the general of the Ya, who was the officer in charge.
The two knelt on one knee together: "Meet the Grand Marshal"
"I'll ask you why you only have twenty people on patrols. For the forest that is more than ten miles away, do you think twenty people are enough?"
Junhou and general Ya looked at each other. They were both military oil. The emperor had already discussed countermeasures. Although they were wearing some shoes for Wei Yan, if something happened, they had to leave their responsibilities clear.
The Junhou kowtowed: "Reporting to the general, it was because of insufficient war horses, so he did not approve him to bring fifty people."
"nonsense"
Wei Yan couldn't help but roar, "I'm going to collect the war horses, what's the matter with you? You obviously don't want to send fifty people to me, and my fifty subordinates all can ride horses. You won't say you're afraid of insufficient riders."
The Junhou's face was flushed and he couldn't speak, but the general said calmly: "Report to the general, Wei Yan has always been rebellious to his superiors and does not obey military orders. He is a famous thorn in the army. How many people are sent to be the orders of the Junhou? He can only execute the orders. It's not his turn to refute and accuse the Junhou of sending few soldiers. Although the twenty men are relatively small, they cannot be an excuse for him to neglect his duties, and he cannot put the blame on his superiors. Please give the general a clear guide."
Seeing his insulting arguments, Liu Jing couldn't help but retort: "From ancient times, taking responsibility from the present, one day, if a sentry dereliction of duty leads to the defeat of Jingzhou, would the general have to explain to the provincial governor? This is the responsibility of the soldier and has nothing to do with him?"
The big tent was silent, and the gui nodded slowly, "Yu Qing was responsible for taking responsibility, and pushed him to beat the fifty army sticks and demoted him to a higher level; the military marquis made a mistake in his judgment and failed to send troops, and he should take heavy responsibility, beat the army sticks and demoted him to a higher level; Wei Yan was not strong in patrols and missed the enemy scouts, and took the main responsibility, beat the ten army sticks and dismissed him to a soldier."
The personal soldiers pushed the person out, and they beat him up again and then smiled at Liu Jing and said, "Speaking of this, I also want to thank Mr. Jing for reminding me that I almost punished the unfairness and ruined my reputation."
Liu Jing bowed and bowed, "The general corrected his mistakes when he heard them, and was humble. Liu Jing admired him very much, but I still have something to ask for."
"What else is there, even if I say, as long as I don't violate military rules, I can consider it."
He is so polite to recruit, after all, he still doesn't treat Liu Jing as his subordinate.
Liu Jing looked back at Wei Yan who was beaten outside the tent and sighed: "It's this Wei Yan. Although he escaped his life, General Ya and Junhou will definitely not forgive him. He will definitely die at their hands. I beg the coach to transfer him to my side."
Gong Jing liked this Wei Yan. Pin understood Liu Jing's thoughts, but even though he was a favor, Pin also agreed happily: "Okay, you can take him away later."
...........
"Wei Yan is grateful for your kindness to save your life."
In Liu Jing's military tent, Wei Yan knelt down and kowtowed. Although he was beaten to the point of blood, the Ten Army sticks were nothing to him. They did not hurt their muscles and bones. They recovered after a day or two.
But he had only a kind of gratitude for rebirth. If Liu Jing had not saved him today, he would have fallen to the ground today. He didn't know how to express his gratitude.
Liu Jing did not help him up and comforted him. This kind of old-fashioned plot would not be repeated at least by Liu Jing.
Liu Jing said coldly with his hands behind his back: "First, you can't call me my husband. Now you are just a soldier under my command, and you should call me the Marquis of Army. Secondly, I just saved you just think the punishment of the commander was unfair, so I came forward to stop it, just to safeguard military discipline. I don't know you, not to save you.
First, if you think that I saved you, you will have some support. If you dare to violate military discipline and dare to be greedy for life and fear death, I will kill you as much as possible. Do you remember?
Wei Yan nodded silently, "I remember the humble position."
Liu Jing smiled faintly again, "Although the general dismissed you as a soldier, I think it is enough for you to demote you to a higher level. Therefore, you are now serving as the chief of the uncle, and your boss is Liu Hu, so do it well."
"I understand, and I won't let Junhou down."
Wei Yan gave a bow, and a soldier helped him back down. Liu Hu next to him had already been in a sacrificial manner. Seeing Wei Yan leave the tent, he immediately shouted: "How can you give me this famous thorn?"
Liu Jing patted Liu Hu on the shoulder and smiled and said, "He is not a thorn. One day in the future, he will become a general who will shock the side. I will not misread him."
Liu Hu scratched his head, as if he had said this to himself and said Gan Ning, as if it was a bit cheap to shock the side.
Liu Jing seemed to understand what he meant to scratch his head, and slapped him on the shoulder with a heavy slap, and said angrily: "I won't put your newbie down yet, see how his injury is, apply some medicine or something, go quickly."
Liu Hu grinned and went out. Liu Jing put his hands on his chest and raised his head to recall the harvest today. This feeling was like he caught a crucian carp in the river in his previous life, with an unexpected surprise.
This is Wei Yan. If Zhuge Liang listened to his plan to attack Chang'an in Wugu, history might have been really changed.
...........
As the night fell, Cai Zhong quickly walked into the central army's tent and bowed to Pin and said, "Is there anything wrong with Zhongye looking for me?"
Pin nodded, "I just received an emergency military report from General Zuo. He was short of food and supplies, and I hope we can send some of them."
Cai Zhong sneered, "It's not that he lacks food and grass, he wants to test whether we are willing to help him."
Pin looked at Cai Zhong in surprise. He always looked down on Cai Zhong. He has a despicable personality and is stupid and unwise. Unexpectedly, he reacted very quickly today.
"No matter what the reason is, since we have sent someone to ask for help, we cannot stand by, General Cai thinks."
Cai Zhong was beaten by Cai Mao all night last night and gradually realized that killing people does not necessarily mean showing a fierce look. Sometimes, hiding a knife in his smile makes people more unpredictable.
He changed his previous fierce and cruelty and became polite, respected and cared for Liu Jing very much.
All of these recruits knew about him. He only felt that Cai Zhong had changed his nature, and soon he figured it out that perhaps it was because he went out to fight. Without Cai Mao's backing, he had to restrain himself.
Therefore, I was more or less polite to Cai Zhong when he spoke to him. Cai Zhong was in charge of the rear army, and he was in charge of the food, grass and supplies, and the recruitment was in a negotiated tone.
Cai Zhong also smiled and said, "Zhongye is the head coach of the first army. Since the head coach has an order, Cai Zhong is of course obedient, so he will immediately allocate food and grass."
After hesitating, Cai Zhong suggested: "I suggest that Gong Jing protects the food and grass to Liu Huangshu's military camp. The coach thought what?"
After thinking about it, I thought about it and asked Liu Jing to escort it. He had a close relationship with Liu Bei, so he could send food to eliminate Liu Bei's suspicion. He just asked him to go alone, and was worried about recruiting.
When I walked to the map, I found Liu Bei's garrison. On Bowangpo, northwest of Xinye, it was a hilly area, about fifty miles away.
Judging from the current information, Cao's army was confronting Liu Bei and had no intention of attacking Jingxiang Army.
More importantly, Xiahou Dun's main force has not arrived. Now it is just a confrontation between general Li Dian and Liu Bei's army. It is not dangerous. If it comes out now, food and grass will arrive at Liu Bei's military camp tomorrow morning.
After pondering for a while, although he needed to consider Liu Jing's safety, he also believed that men would never grow into towering trees without storms.
"You can order Deng Wu to lead a thousand troops and Liu Jing to protect the grain."
