Chapter 147: Broken Arms and New Bones Buried in the Sands · 16
The main general of Luzhou has been killed, the army's morale has been broken, and they are losing ground. The Cangyun Army easily flattened the city and replaced the flag of the Song Dynasty.
The gate of Luzhou was wide open, and the Cangyun Army stood proudly on the top of the city to welcome the army led by Yu Xing into the city.
Xiao Hao stood in front of the city gate, his back straight. When Yu Xing rode past him, he looked down at him and said, "Lieutenant General Xiao is really brave and good at fighting. It's a great achievement to capture Luzhou City!" He suddenly changed the subject and threatened, "The battlefield is changing rapidly. If you disobey the general's orders without permission, have you thought about the consequences?"
Xiao Hao said nothing and tightened his shield and sword in his hand.
Yu Xing sneered and rode away, "Arrange the defense and wait for your decision in my tent later."
Xiao Hao nodded in response, "Yes."
Yu Xing was the main general, and he had no right to disobey.
Shi Zhixuan silently descended from the top of the city wall and stood beside him, frowning slightly and saying, "Ah Hao seems a little anxious."
Xiao Hao took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said gently, "If not, the Mongolian reinforcements will bring us great trouble tomorrow."
He is not a qualified soldier.
Whether he is arrogant or rebellious, he cannot accept Yu Xing's command. Delaying the fighter plane and increasing casualties is better than resisting military orders and being blamed. The option with the lowest loss is better.
Shi Zhixuan looked at him for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but then stopped talking and said to him with a faint smile: "Well, just let you do it." Anyway, it doesn't matter to him. Ah Hao may be subject to some restrictions, but he is unrestrained.
The evil king has never been a good person. Ah Hao is upright and open-minded, but he doesn't care so much. If the man surnamed Yu goes too far, he will kill him for Ah Hao.
Seeing that he didn't say anything to persuade him, Xiao Hao returned a grateful look.
"Thank you."
He put away his shield and sword and walked towards Yu Xing's tent.
Shi Zhixuan stood behind him for a while, called Cang Yun beside him and said: "Call the captains of each team and tell them that I have something to talk to them about."
Xiao Hao walked into the tent, where Yu Xing had been waiting for him for a long time. He stood with his back to Xiao Hao, calm and composed, looking rather arrogant.
"What should be done according to military regulations if someone disobeys military orders on the battlefield?"
Xiao Hao lowered his head and saluted, saying, "He should be beheaded."
Yu Xing laughed twice, turned around, and smiled very greasyly, "Lieutenant General Xiao broke the law knowingly, and his crime is even more serious."
Xiao Hao refused to be hypocritical with such a person from the bottom of his heart, but in order to prevent Yu Xing from taking the opportunity to anger Cang Yun, he still had to practice Tai Chi with this man. He always remembered what Zhao Yun said, that he could be aggressive on the battlefield, but he still had to be flexible when it was time to be restrained.
"General Yu's command is as good as that of a god. He captured Luzhou in one fell swoop and beheaded the rebel general Liu Zheng, which is a great achievement. I was just following orders."
Yu Xing shook his beard twice and squinted his eyes and said, "Oh? I am surprised that the general is so brave."
Xiao Hao took all the credit on his own without any regrets, handed it to Yu Xing, and said calmly, "Your Majesty will surely reward you greatly for the great victory in Luzhou this time. I just hope that the general will not be the one who kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. I am just an observer and have no achievements to speak of, but the whole army can see how good Cangyun's combat capability is. Cangyun is the emperor's sword. If the general wants to use this sharp sword, he must know the principle of not chilling the hearts of the soldiers."
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and understood what he meant. Xiao Hao was willing to give up all his own merits, but he was not allowed to touch Cang Yun's military merits. Cang Yun had 3,000 soldiers, all of whom were brave and good at fighting. No matter how brave Xiao Hao was, he was just one person. This was a deal.
He looked embarrassed and said strangely, "Deputy General Xiao, you disobeyed the military order first, and now you are negotiating with me?"
Xiao Hao said seriously, "Tens of thousands of soldiers in the army saw that it was me who gave the order to attack the city. If I deny that this order was not arranged in advance by General Yu, the military merit will not go to the general, and the general will be charged with improper command and demoted by His Majesty. As for me, , I was the one who attacked the city, and I was also the one who disobeyed orders. The battlefield was complicated, and I just made the most appropriate choice. When the merits and demerits are offset, Your Majesty may not do anything to me. "
Yu Xing looked unfriendly, and his whole face was wrinkled: "Are you threatening me?"
Xiao Hao lowered his eyebrows and eyes, but said fearlessly: "I dare not."
If Yu Xing really wanted to make a big deal about this matter, he might really be dealt with directly according to the law. But in this matter, if Yu Xing wanted the credit for Luzhou, he would never dare to make a big deal. Xiao Hao was fearless and didn't worry about himself.
As long as this guy didn't get too greedy and suppress the achievements of his subordinates, Cangyun Army, he could do whatever he wanted.
Yu Xing pondered in his heart for a long time before he hummed and said: "Lieutenant General Xiao, I will not bother you this time because I think you have made great contributions in killing the enemy. But the death penalty can be spared. You have repeatedly contradicted me in the army and hurt my dignity. How can I govern the army in the future?"
Xiao Hao was silent for a while and replied: "I will go and get two hundred military sticks myself."
As a soldier, no matter for what reason, Yu Xing is his superior. If he violated the military law, he should be punished.
Yu Xing patted his shoulder with satisfaction and pretended to comfort him: "Lieutenant General Xiao, you should learn to be more obedient when you work under me in the future."
Xiao Hao subconsciously shook his hand away. Yu Xing was embarrassed and froze in mid-air, and his face became unhappy again.
As soon as he stepped out of the tent, Xiao Hao was stunned.
Three thousand Cangyun soldiers lined up in front of the tent, quietly guarding the door, and surrounded the big tent without making any sound.
Yu Xing saw Xiao Hao standing at the door, and walked over to him mockingly and asked, "What's the matter? Are you afraid of the military stick? If you..."
He saw the heavy armored Cangyun outside the tent, looking at him with murderous intent, and they had been talking in the tent for so long that they didn't notice when they surrounded them.
Yu Xing's teeth began to chatter, and he couldn't speak anymore.
"Xiao, Deputy General Xiao! What do you mean by this!"
Xiao Hao was also confused, "I..."
The Cangyun Army took a step forward and surrounded the big tent tightly, pointing their swords diagonally in the direction of Yu Xing.
Yu Xing's face turned pale and he shouted, "Come here! What do you think of military law! Come here! Catch them! Catch them!"
The surrounding Song soldiers were afraid of the murderous aura of the Cangyun Army, and no one dared to step forward.
A man walked out of the Cangyun team. It was Lu Wufan. He had grown a lot taller in the past few years. He was no longer a little kid who was not as tall as his waist. The boy of twelve or thirteen looked quite heroic, with a righteous look between his eyebrows, and he looked like a handsome young man.
"The general has made contributions and no faults in taking down Luzhou City and correcting the commander's wrong command. He should not be punished!"
Three thousand Cangyun shouted in unison, shaking the world: "He should not be punished!"
Yu Xing was so shocked by the shouts of these three thousand people that his legs became weak and his ears became deaf. He said "you" for a long time but could not say anything. He had to turn and point at Xiao Hao and said: "Deputy General Xiao!"
Many warm currents flowed through Xiao Hao's heart, which gradually surrounded his beating heart. He had always thought that he was Cang Yun's backer in the court, but he never thought that they would become his backer.
He suddenly wanted to laugh, but he was also very worried. If Yu Xing got angry and bullied Cang Yun...
Cang Yuns set their black iron shields on the ground, tightly surrounding the chief accountant, and would never let Xiao Hao and Yu Xing take a step forward.
"General Yu, please consider this carefully!"
Lu Wuhuan also stepped forward. He was just taller than the shield, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and raised his head and said, "I am not from the military, but my ancestors have been known as heroes! If I can't help you today, I will let this handsome man bleed and return to the rivers and lakes as a wandering hero!"
Yu Xing was so scared that his teeth were chattering. He grabbed Xiao Hao's armor tightly and said repeatedly, "General Xiao, you take care of them!!"
Xiao Hao showed a helpless expression, and felt relieved in his heart. He said innocently, "This... I can't control it."
The Cangyun Army shouted in unison, "That's right! I can't control it!"
Yu Xing: "..." Deliberate! They did it on purpose! !
He had no doubt that if he continued to look for trouble with Xiao Hao, these stubborn Cang Yun would just rush over and hack him to death with random swords, and then go to occupy the mountain and become a bandit. Moreover, it was indeed him who ordered the retreat. If someone in the army reported this to the higher-ups, the government's attitude towards this Xiao would become a mystery, and Cang Yun might not really be punished if it was reported.
Saving his life was the most important thing.
Yu Xing pushed Xiao Hao out of the tent tremblingly, and shouted: "The merits and demerits offset each other! The merits and demerits offset each other! No punishment!"
The Cang Yuns shouted excitedly, and withdrew their Mo Daos together.
Yu Xing's face turned pale, and he dared not look at the blades of Cang Yun and his men. He turned around and said, "I will not punish you generals, but you are also guilty of openly threatening the commander-in-chief! Deduct three months' military pay from all of you!" But he was afraid of hearing their rebuttal, so he hurriedly closed the door of the tent and did not dare to show his head.
Xiao Hao lowered his head outside the tent and curled his lips. Well... just deduct the military pay. He owns the territory of the gang, and he can't afford any salary or special banquets. He didn't expect the court to support them, so he can deduct it at will.
He pulled Lu Wuhuan over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you think of doing this?"
Lu Wuhuan immediately stood at attention and said with a stiff face, "The military advisor asked us to come!"
"..." Xiao Hao shook his head in amusement, and said with a stern face, "When we return to Wusheng Pass, none of you can escape the daily mission!"
The Cangyuns were fearless, and everyone had a smile on their faces: "Yes, sir!"
Yu Xing did not dare to mess with Cangyun, but since then, every time he charged into the formation, he always let the Cangyun army go first. Xiao Hao knew that he was taking the opportunity to retaliate, so he had to cut into the iron bone armor from time to time to protect his group of brothers who were practicing alone.
Although he did not have a T-suit, as long as the skills could be released, he would not force himself to wear anything.
This time they used Luzhou as their base, and built three mountain cities, Hutou, Denggao, and Xianlu, along the way in Tongchuan. They fought all the way to Jinjiang in Chengdu before stopping.
When the news was reported back to Lin'an Prefecture, Zhao Yun was overjoyed and rewarded the meritorious soldiers.
Lu Wende saw what Xiao Hao and Yu Xing did, and secretly reported them. Zhao Yun hated Yu Xing's misconduct, so he demoted him and promoted Lu Wende instead. Xiao Hao openly clashed with Yu Xing in the army, and many people saw it, so Zhao Yun did not reward him, but praised the Cangyun Army.
Bystanders see things clearly, and the eyes of the people are always sharp. Wherever Cangyun goes, there will be good news. This has never happened before. They know who is responsible for this.
