Lord of Rebirth

Time went back to the night before Shen Xi left the palace.

Because of the rush on the next day, Shen Xi fell asleep early.

Sun Moyao sat by the bed and watched Shen Xi for a while, until he saw that Shen Xi's breathing was steady and he had fallen asleep completely, so he got up and blew out the two candle lamps, and left the room.

When they went outside, they heard from the butler that Wu Kang and Liang Mang, who had been waiting outside since dinner, were still waiting in the backyard at this moment.

Sun Moyao hurried over, and sure enough, Wu Kang and Liang Mang knelt on the ground, with Wei Zhenyun and Lu Jufeng standing beside them.

Lu Jufeng seemed to be still trying to persuade him, but Wei Zhenyun looked very angry, and he didn't know why he was angry.

Sun Moyao coughed dryly, and said to the two kneeling on the ground, "Get up and talk."

Wu Kang and Liang Mang looked at each other, then knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Don't dare!"

Wei Zhenyun swears a dirty word, and wants to rush forward, whether it is to beat someone up or pull him up, but he is blocked by Lu Jufeng.

"When did this king stop talking like this!" Sun Moyao said angrily, "Get up!"

The last sentence was heavy and roared like a lion, which made the two people who were kneeling couldn't help but startled, and then slowly stood up.

Sun Moyao shook his sleeves, "Say, what's going on!"

It was Wu Kang who spoke up, "The general is guilty. He didn't drive the barbarians out of the border. He even came back from a defeated battle. He was attacked by those barbarians and killed several brothers. I was the one who led the team. It is my responsibility to lose this battle, please forgive me, my lord."

"How many soldiers died...can you bring back all the dead bodies?" Sun Moyao asked.

Wu Kang said: "Bring them all back, some...the corpses are not complete, but none of them was left in another country."

"There must be a generous burial!" Sun Moyao said coldly.

Lu Jufeng stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Yes, someone has been sent to deal with it."

Sun Moyao put his hands together and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

But the evening wind in summer made him very hot in his heart. He thought that he could not accept failure, but it was the first time he encountered failure, and he didn't know how to relieve the depression in his heart.Sun Moyao comforted himself that he was so angry now because of what the group of Northern Li barbarians did.

Probably because he lived in a comfortable environment for too long, Sun Moyao suddenly realized that even he had forgotten the saying "Soldiers never tire of cheating".

Before, about when they had just returned to Fufeng County from Yizhou, they received news from the border of Liangzhou.

A troop from the Beili Kingdom invaded Jiuyuan County in the northwest of Liangzhou, but did not break into Jiuyuan City, but disturbed several surrounding villages.

The place that was originally under the jurisdiction of the King of the Northland, after the King of the Northland passed away more than ten years ago, the emperor did not appoint any prince to come here.The imperial court only sent two troops to station, but it was heard that the general who led the troops had defected to King Pingyang, and the local area became an empty shell with only the militia to protect itself.

Although King Pingyang often sent generals to Jiuyuan County to protect the safety of the local people, but in recent years, the number of troops sent has gradually decreased, and this time he was invaded by the Beili Kingdom, and he did not take any action at all. I don't know what happened .

The local people are naturally miserable, and the farmers have to abandon their villages and farmland and flee to the city.

Jiuyuan County is a little far from Fufeng County. At the beginning, the prefect of Jiuyuan City sent a request for assistance to King Pingyang and King Hongnong. The two princes responded and sent troops to come. Unexpectedly, they have not seen the barbarians of Beili in the past three days. , Then he pulled out the stronghold and left.

Since then, the northern Li barbarians have frequently harassed, but the two princes refused to send troops again.

The prefect of Jiuyuan had no choice but to ask Fufeng King who was farther away, hoping that he could send troops to protect the people of Jiuyuan.

Although Fufeng County is in the middle of Liangzhou, Liangzhou itself is narrow and long. Even Fufeng County has a border close to the border of Nanshun Kingdom.

Back then when King Fufeng came to this place, there were barbarians from Beili who invaded the territory. Later, they were severely punished by Wei Zhenyun's troops, and this kind of thing never happened again.

Now in Jiuyuan County, but there is no prince to stand up for them, otherwise, the soldiers of Beili have taken the courage to invade the territory of Nanshun Kingdom frequently?

When he received the call for help, Sun Moyao couldn't help but be surprised. How come the current situation in Jiuyuan County has become such a situation, and King Pingyang and King Hongnong don't care about it?What has happened that made the prefect of Jiuyuan insist on sending someone to look for him?

Later, I found out the reason, but I didn't want to care about it, and I was too lazy to care about it, so I was a little disappointed with my uncle and cousin.

Even so, Sun Moyao did not forget to send troops to support Jiuyuan County.

They were just a group of northern Li barbarians, and Wu Kang had been to Yizhou with him, and he had experienced a lot of drills during the process, so how could he not be able to deal with that group of people?

And according to the information obtained by the spies, there are only 120 people in the Northern Li Manzi this time, and the common people can't beat them. Can these soldiers still beat them?

So, Sun Moyao sent Wu Kang and Liang Mang with [-] troops to drive out the invading northern Li barbarians.

Who knew it was the result?

lost?Why? !

Sun Moyao looked at the two of them seriously, "How could you be attacked?"

"Night attack!!" Liang Mang said angrily, he stomped his feet, "Bei Li barbarians are shameless!"

"Soldiers never tire of cheating! How did I tell you!!" Wei Zhenyun also spoke over there, with a loud voice that immediately echoed in the backyard.

Sun Moyao also said, "Even if it was a night attack, how could you be beaten so embarrassingly?"

Liang Mang's face was agitated, but he said softly: "I took a shortcut, but who knows that I am in ambush..."

Wei Zhenyun snorted again, "It may not be an ambush, I think you fell into the other party's trap to save effort!!"

It's not impossible to say that, Liang Mang wholeheartedly believes that soldiers are valuable and fast, as long as they get to the border as soon as possible and drive away the barbarians, they can make meritorious deeds and return sooner.Wu Kang, who was traveling with Liang Mang, naturally sensed Liang Mang's anxiety. Unfortunately, he didn't mention Liang Mang.In the end, the two led the troops in the arms of the enemy.

Fortunately, the two of them did not practice less on weekdays, and they could eventually bring the army back when encountering such a situation.

But this defeat was too useless.

Whether it was Wu Kang or Liang Mang, they all felt ashamed to say goodbye to the prince.

When he led the soldiers back, Liang Mang knew that it was his own fault, so he told Wei Zhenyun who came to meet them, that he had no face to see the prince, and that he messed up such a simple matter like this, and even ordered several people because of this. It is embarrassing that a brother lost his life.He said he wanted Wei Zhenyun to chop off his head and cover his face with his hair, otherwise he would have no face to see the prince again.

After saying this, Liang Mang was severely punched by Wei Zhenyun.

Wei Zhenyun said to him, "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you lose, you will die. After that, will anyone be able to lead troops to fight well?! Besides, you are going to die now, but you just want to escape responsibility! What do you say? , if you have the guts, go and tell the prince yourself! I don’t have the face to say it for you!!”

After being yelled at by Wei Zhenyun, Liang Mang was relieved. It was Wu Kang who brought him to kneel in the palace, waiting for the prince to come.

After hearing the cause and effect, Sun Moyao really didn't think that the two of them would fall into this kind of trick despite having no lack of foundation in the art of war.

"Okay, I get it." Sun Moyao looked at the two people with a serious face, and said, "Anyone will eat losing a battle, and one day, I will too, and Wei Zhenyun will too. But, if you eat it because of eating If you lose a battle, you will seek life and death, this king does not want this kind of person."

Liang Mang and Wu Kang's faces were hot, and they all lowered their heads, but they lost their usual prestige.

Sun Moyao sighed, "But since we are defeated this time, we can't just let you go for no reason."

The two hurriedly saluted, and said in unison: "I am willing to be punished!!"

For a moment, Sun Moyao didn't know what to do, frowning, unable to think of any good way.

It was Lu Jufeng who spoke first, "The two adults know where they made their mistakes. I am not pleading for mercy. I just hope that such mistakes will not happen again in the future. Then I have a suggestion."

"Just say what you want," Sun Moyao said.

Everyone else looked at him, and Lu Jufeng said, "It's really heartbreaking to lose a few soldiers this time. I think it hurts the hearts of the parents, and their families must be even more sad. So I sent the two of them to see this The families of several soldiers handed over the compensation to their families."

This matter is simply more unbearable than pleading guilty to the prince directly.

Wei Zhenyun couldn't help but look at Lu Jufeng twice more.

But Liang Mang and Wu Kang understood Lu Jufeng's intentions very well.

"That's the way." Sun Moyao nodded, "You know in your heart that in a war, there must be winners and losers, and there must be life and death. However, you must also know that the lives of the soldiers who follow you in the war are still at stake. In your hands, before making any decision, you must think carefully, otherwise their lives will be given away for no reason, and you will feel sorry for it?! This kind of mistake must not be repeated in the future! "

Liang Mang and Wu Kang nodded emphatically, "The general is convicted and willing to accept the punishment!!"

"There is more." Sun Moyao said again, "After finishing this matter, each of you will copy "The Art of War" to me ten more times, and there will be a one-month deadline."

It was hard enough for them to meet the families of those soldiers.And it is torture for those who carry guns to carry pens when they go back.

But since he said he was willing to accept the punishment before, he no longer quibbled and admitted everything.

Sun Moyao nodded, "Go ahead first."

"Yes."

Looking at Wu Kang and Liang Mang kneeling on the ground before, they knew that they had gone straight to the palace to confess the crime as soon as they entered the city, and they didn't even have time to take off their armor.

Now, no matter how they are punished, give them a night to catch their breath.
