"In the past, Bai Qi won the Battle of Changping but Du You died, Xiang Yu won the Battle of Julu but died at Gaixia - this is an iron rule that will last for thousands of years!"
Xiao Zhen, 35 years old, with the courtesy name Dingbian.
Deputy General of the Anti-Japanese War in the Southeast of Daliang, second rank.
It seems that the official position is very high, but because Daliang values civil officials over military officials, even a second-rank military general is subject to restrictions.
In particular, this person suffered the most tragic defeat during the Jiahe period!
Directly nailed to the pillar of shame!
But all those present were young men with quick minds, and they knew the importance of a brave general to border defense.
Moreover, the causes of the Japanese invasion in the south were extremely complicated and involved a wide range of issues.
It is hard to say what the reason behind Xiao Zhen's defeat this time.
But no matter what the reason is——
Victory and defeat are common in war.
Just because of a defeat, he wanted to execute Xiao Zhen and ordered 8,000 naval soldiers to be executed. It was really chilling!
That’s right, although the court only said that Xiao Zhen would return to Beijing for trial, everyone actually knew that Xiao Zhen would definitely die!
I heard the middle-aged man say "Xiao Zhen should die".
Su Qi raised his eyebrows and was the first to refute: "The Zuo Zhuan, Duke Xi's 33rd year, states: Don't let a small flaw cover up a great virtue."
"If defeat means execution, then Lian Po was also defeated by Qin, so why did he become the pillar of Zhao? Wu Zi: On Generals says: Wherever a general touches, everyone will follow him!"
As Su Qi finished speaking.
Zhou Feiran immediately responded: "The "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Lian Po" records in detail: Zhao She was defeated at Yanyu at first, but later he defeated the Qin army."
"Sima Fa says: Rewards should not be overdue, and punishments should not be transferred. Now, without investigating the cause of defeat, they are discussing executions. Isn't this what Han Feizi ridiculed: not judging the gains and losses?"
The two talented men spoke one after another, attracting cheers from a group of scholars outside the Exiled Immortal Pavilion!
Obviously, everyone is just a scholar who only knows how to talk about war on paper.
But we can clearly distinguish what is important and what is not.
Xiao Zhen cannot be killed!
However, the middle-aged man who heard these words sighed sadly in his heart.
It's useless!
The Four Books and Five Classics can’t save me!
I can’t even save the eight thousand brothers behind me who are fighting bravely for Daliang!
Think of this.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, looked at Jia Shao, who had remained silent, and said in a deliberately bad tone, "Xiao Zhen abandoned the danger and rushed forward, causing countless soldiers to die. Isn't this what the "Wei Liaozi" says, 'A general loses one order and his army is defeated and he dies'?"
"No matter what you say, Xiao Zhen must die!"
He said these words.
The middle-aged man thought sadly in his heart——
Come and rebuke me, come and refute me!
As long as you can save me and the eight thousand brothers behind me.
From now on, I am willing to be your chess piece and the blade in your hand!
Gein——
My eight thousand brothers and I must survive!
And then died in the vast ocean!
