Chapter 914: The Magnificent Power of Han (Thirty-Eight)

Fan Sui arrived in Fengcheng and announced the order of King Wulie of Qin. Lu Chao was good at provoking border provocations and provoked a war with the Eastern Expeditionary Army. He broke the agreement previously signed by both parties and deprived all official positions on the spot. He was on the black ice platform. He was escorted to Xianyang for questioning, and the command of the army was immediately transferred to Ying Ying, who temporarily assumed the power of the general.

After announcing the order, Tan Feng, who had been standing behind Fan Sui with a dull face, strode out, walked up to Lu Chao, and said expressionlessly: "General, I'm offended!"

Lu Chao exhaled, took off the saber and seal from his waist, and handed them to Tan Feng. Tan Feng waved his hand, and two Black Ice Platform soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, holding a pair of shackles in their hands. Bring it to Lu Chao.

Seeing this scene, the summoned Qin army generals in the big tent were all furious. With Gou Yi as the leader, they all stepped forward and glared at the two soldiers. When the two soldiers saw this formation, they couldn't help but He stopped in fear and turned to look at Tan Feng.

Before Tan Feng could say anything, Ying Ying had already walked up to Fan Sui and said, "Sir, Chief Assistant, even though the general has made mistakes, he has also made great contributions to the country. How can he be regarded as an ordinary criminal and ask the Chief Assistant to stay for the general?" The general loves his soldiers like his sons and has a high prestige in the army. If he leaves the barracks in shackles, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers and will be extremely detrimental to the morale of the army."

Fan Sui nodded, "What General Ying said is absolutely true. General Tan, there is no need to put torture tools on Lu Chao."

After hearing this, Lu Chao smiled, reached out and took the shackles from the hands of the two soldiers, put them on his wrists, clicked twice, and locked them.

"The state has national laws and every family has its own rules. How can we extend mercy to Lu Chaochao just because he has little merit? General Tan, let's go!" After leaving these words, Lu Chao turned around and strode out.

The generals in the tent were stunned for a moment, and they all rushed forward. As Lu Chao walked out, Ying Ying took two steps forward, took off the cloak from behind, and covered Lu Chao's shackled hands. "General, your Majesty will never reprimand the general for this matter. Please take care of yourself, general."

Lu Chao smiled and nodded, but he said in his heart, this is the order given by your father, of course he will not do anything to me. Outside, the cage used to hold prisoners in Heibingtai has been prepared. Since Lu Chao wants Business was business, and the generals under his command naturally had nothing to say. They watched Lu Chao lower his head and get into the cage. With a clang, the cage was locked, and the carriage dragging the cage slowly drove away. The Qin army generals present all shouted. He bowed to Lu Chao as he left, including Ying Ying. These scenes shocked Fan Sui. When he was in Xianyang, it was hard for him to imagine that a young general like Lu Chao would serve in the army. He is so popular among the people, and the generals, big and small, are so convinced by him. I used to think that this person had a good teacher, but now it seems that they look down on him.

The team escorting Lu Chao gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Fan Sui turned his head and looked at Ying Ying, "General Ying, please inform the opposite side of the Eastern Marching Army as soon as possible about Fan's arrival. I request to meet with Gao Yuan. Discuss how to end this unexpected impulse and restore peace between the two parties."

"Yes, Lord Chief Assistant." Ying Ying nodded.

After the three divisions of the Young Guards of the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived, in the direction of Fengcheng, Gao Yuan had gathered nearly 50,000 troops including Ye Zhen's Central Group Army, including an astonishing 20,000 cavalry. The army was stationed in the tea shop. , the infantry held fast to the camp, while the cavalry took turns to attack the area around Fengcheng every day, and from time to time there were small-scale conflicts with the cavalry under the command of Ying Ying of the Qin Army.

In these days, the biggest thing that the Eastern Conquest Army did when they arrived was to exhume the remains of thousands of Eastern Conquest Army soldiers who died in the Masaping Canyon. After these soldiers died in battle, the Qin Army buried them hastily in the canyon. .Removing and burying the remains of thousands of soldiers is an extremely huge project. The original intention of the Assembly Hall was to let these soldiers rest here, but Gao Yuan insisted on sending the remains of these soldiers back to their hometowns, even if it cost them their original lives. Adding new difficulties to the difficult financial situation of Zhengdong Mansion.

Fortunately, the weather was cold, and although a long time had passed, the remains were still intact. Every time they found a burial site, the soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army dug up the snow and floating soil above, and carried out the remains one by one. Wrapped in white cloth and loaded onto a carriage, Ye Zhen mobilized a large number of pack horses and carriages to carry out this huge transfer project.

Each batch of five hundred corpses is loaded onto a carriage. The soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army present will hold a simple ceremony for these dead soldiers. Then, with the sound of the war song of the Eastern Expedition Army, the carriages embark on their way home one by one. The journey home.

The departure of the first batch of carriages will increase the anger in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army.

Gao Yuan stood quietly on the city wall built by the Qin army in the Masaping Canyon. In front of him, another group of carriages carrying the remains slowly passed in front of him. Gao Yuan clenched his right hand into a fist, placed it at his heart, and bent He bent down and saluted respectfully to these remains. Behind him, the senior generals of the Eastern Conquest Army present also bent down deeply.

This was the biggest defeat of the Eastern Conquest Army since its formation, and Naha who died in the battle was also the highest-ranking general who died on the battlefield since its formation. It was an indescribable shock to everyone in the Eastern Conquest Army. Not big.

"Naha has always been cautious. The only time he was negligent was this time, but he didn't want this time to leave him with no room to turn around." Ye Zhen on the side sighed and said. "Collected from the survivors. According to some information before the war, when Naha marched, they only sent out very few scouts, and the reconnaissance distance was less than ten miles. More importantly, these scouts had been to Yesan Pass, but they did not carefully examine the terrain, nor did they After conducting a detailed search of the Masaping Canyon, they just went through a hasty cut and then reported back. This time, there were several scouts who survived. The general had captured them all and handed them over to the Military Justice Department of the Overwatch Council for trial. Ming Zhengdian punishment."

Gao Yuan slowly shook his head, "Don't kill them. Keep their lives. The Military Justice Department of the Overwatch Council will lead them to various ministries and armies to speak out with their own experience, so that all generals and soldiers will know that a small oversight may lead to death." Thousands of comrades lost their lives."

"Yes!" Ye Zhen nodded. "I am also responsible for this matter. I think Naha has always been careful, so I did not seriously tell him to be careful. Naha is my direct subordinate, and I am willing to accept his guilt. "

"Is it your responsibility alone? Don't I have any responsibility?" Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, "From the beginning of the Fufeng Army to the establishment of the Eastern Expedition Army, we have been invincible, even when facing the tyrannical Donghu people. After many consecutive battles and victories, Donghu was finally destroyed. The victories in these years have made our army develop an arrogance and arrogance, and have the idea that I am the best in the world. This is, at best, self-confidence, and at worst, it is self-confidence. , but it is conceited. Although the defeat of Naha was accidental, it was also inevitable. But it is better to come early than to come late. Now we have to correct it. If it really comes to a critical moment, it will be fatal and can make us irrecoverable. "

"The Commander-in-Chief is right!" Ye Zhen was horrified, "The improvement of military discipline will begin with our Central Group Army."

Gao Yuan nodded.

"Captain, Commander, we have found the body of General Naha!" A general came quickly from a distance. Behind him, four soldiers carried a stretcher with a white cloth covering it.

The stretcher stopped in front of Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan slowly squatted down and reached out to uncover the white cloth. Seeing Naha's body under the white cloth, the generals present sighed involuntarily. Above Naha's body , there was almost no good spot left, one bloody hole after another was poked out by the spear, and on the neck, there was a knife that almost cut off the entire head.

Naha died with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, as if he was still roaring before he died.

A whimpering sound came from behind Gao Yuan. It was his old comrade-in-arms, a general and infantryman who also came from the Fufeng County Army.

"That Beard, what are you doing? Why did you die like this!" The infantryman staggered and squatted down, holding Naha's cold, blood-stained hand tightly.

"Carry it down and clean it up for him properly." Gao Yuan stood up slowly, "We have lost five thousand loyal and brave men here. We must get this debt back from the Qin people."

The infantryman stood up and said, "Commander, please order an attack on Fengcheng. Break into Fengcheng and kill all the Qin people."

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, "Infantry, I understand how you feel. I am also very sad that Naba died. He was the person I brought out from Fufeng. There are not many of the two hundred Fufeng soldiers left at the beginning. Over the years, We supported each other and built such a huge empire. Because of this, we must cherish it even more. A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. One day, I will plant our flag in the palace of Xianyang, the Qin people."

After saying this, Gao Yuan strode away without looking back. Behind him, the passionate military song of the Eastern Conquest Army came again. It was the remains of another batch of 500 heroes who were about to return home. journey.

After riding back to the Chinese army's tent in the main camp of Tea Shop, Yan Shenghao rushed out to greet him. This time, Gao Yuan personally marched because it involved negotiations with the Qin people. Gao Yuan also brought Yan Shenghao over, while Jiang Jiaquan stayed behind. Jishi City is in charge.

"Captain, the King of Wei has sent his chief assistant Wu Qi to ask for an audience with the Governor, and his subordinates have already placed him down first," Yan Shenghao said.

"Wu Qi?" Gao Yuan was slightly surprised, "The King of Wei actually sent him here?"

"My Dongfu army gathered in Fengcheng, forcing the attacking Wei and Qin armies to mobilize their troops towards Fengcheng. The pressure on the Wei and Zhao coalition forces was greatly reduced. I see that Wu Qi this time wants to form a real alliance with us to deal with the Qin people together. Attack." Yan Shenghao said.

Gao Yuan snorted, "You want us to fight for them? It doesn't matter if you sell them some weapons, but if you want my army to fight directly for him, can he afford the price?"

"I checked Wu Qi's tone and saw what they meant. They wanted nothing to do." Yan Shenghao shook his head.

"Tianci has just reported the latest news. Fan Sui, the chief assistant of the Qin people, has also arrived in Fengcheng. He is probably coming to negotiate with me. You might as well reveal the news of Fan Sui's arrival to Wu Qi. As for me, I won't see him. .You take care of it for me."

"I understand, Commander!" (To be continued)
