Chapter 106 Shameless and no lower limit
Jinzhou City in the early morning was not as quiet as before, but fell into great chaos.In the early hours of the morning, a large number of stragglers fled back to Jinzhou City, which made the worried people panic.Tens of thousands of troops were completely lost, and the whereabouts of dozens of generals were unknown. Even Zhang Chun, the leader of the army, was rumored to have been captured by Jiannu.Once the news spreads, even Sun Chengzong can't stop it.

"This old man is ashamed of trusting the Son of Heaven. It is really a heinous crime to cause such evil results." In the government office, Sun Chengzong, Qiu Hejia and other civil servants and generals gathered together. There was still a trace of panic on the faces of Wu Xiang and the others. Waking up from the battle.But Sun Chengzong's eyes were dull.Qiu Hejia also became panicked.

Sun Chengzong did not expect that the tens of thousands of troops would be wiped out in an instant, and only nearly 1 people could escape, and three-quarters of the troops were lost in one fell swoop.Even Zhang Chun was captured alive by the other party, and dozens of generals disappeared without a trace. There must be one person to take responsibility for such a thing, and this person is not someone else, but himself.Once such a big event is spread, those people in the court will definitely attack themselves.

"My lord, you can't blame my lord for this matter. It's just that Li Xin broke his promise and made peace with Jiannu, which caused our army to be few in strength. We are no match for Jiannu." Above the lobby, Wu Xiang rolled his eyes and stood Get up and say loudly.

"Yes, if Li Xin hadn't left suddenly, how could Jiannu have the courage to fight our army? If our army can absorb Li Xin's army of more than ten thousand, Jiannu will definitely flee in embarrassment." Zu Zerun also said loudly.

"You are not good at fighting, so don't put the responsibility on others." Qiu Hejia on the side suddenly showed a sarcasm on his face, and he looked at Wu Xiang coldly and said: "Wu Zongbing, the old man heard what Rubing said. , At the critical moment of the war, someone raised the flag and fled first, what kind of crime should be committed according to the imperial court code for this kind of fleeing?

"This?" Wu Xiang's face turned red, she didn't dare to look at Qiu Hejia, she could only lower her head, her face covered in cold sweat.He knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had fled before the battle. There were so many soldiers in the army and there were so many people talking about it. It was undoubtedly impossible to hide such news.But he hated Qiu Hejia even more for bringing it up at this moment.

"Li Xin should bear the main responsibility for this battle. Master Supervisor, when His Majesty's imperial decree came, then Li Xin should be assigned to the subordinate of the last general and obey the orders of the last general, but Li Xin led the army to leave. If it is said that he fled, Li Xin is the mastermind. The one who should be killed should be Li Xin." Naturally, Zu Dashou would not look at Wu Xiang's misfortune, so he quickly stood up and said, "Master Qiu, you will not forget Li Xin just because he is your nephew. Let's do this!"

"Hmph, the old man will never forget." Qiu Hejia blushed, looked at Zu Dashou with angry eyes, and said with a sneer: "I don't know how qualified your Zu Dashou is to lead Li Xin's army, could it be this Li Xin's army?" It was formed by you, or in other words, your military exploits and martial arts are far superior to Li Xin's, which can convince Li Xin's army. Hmph, if my memory serves me correctly, there are thousands of strong or strong soldiers in Li Xin's army. I got it from Dalinghe City, hehe, these people will probably remember your ancestor's life! Do you think they will let you lead them?"

"Qiu Hejia, you?" Zu Dashou would never want to remember the scene in Dalinghe City for the rest of his life, but at this moment, Qiu Hejia's scars were uncovered again, which made him wish to rush forward and cut Qiu Hejia into two pieces.

"Hmph, if it wasn't for Li Xin, you would either starve to death in Dalinghe City, or you would have surrendered to Jiannu. It's a joke for such a person to be at the top of the imperial court." Qiu Hejia looked disdainful. I have to say that in the Ming Dynasty, the nobility of literati was amazing, and Nazu Dashou was also a first-rank official, but in front of Qiu Hejia, he still satirized and scolded whenever he wanted to, Qiu Hejia didn't know how to Be aware of the other person's feelings.

"Human favors belong to human favors. The imperial decree of the imperial court is greater than the sky. Since the emperor values ​​my father commander and ordered him to command Li Xin's army, then Li Xin's army must obey his father commander. Dajun, this battle must be won, how can such a thing happen, so the general thinks that Li Xin is the chief culprit for the failure of this battle, and the general thinks that because of the performance of the emperor, he ordered someone to arrest Li Xin and bring him to justice." Zu Zerun was proud Said loudly in the hall.

"This matter is also possible." Wu Xiang nodded, and said: "The enemy is outnumbered. If Li Xin hadn't withdrawn without authorization, this battle would definitely be victorious. Perhaps at this time, our army has already reached the city of Shenyang."

"Yes, yes, it's all Li Xin's fault."

The rest of the generals also nodded when they heard this. This is what these people want. After the defeat in the war, they always want to find some reasons, and they always want to find someone to take the blame. Li Xin happens to be their excuse, the best person to take the blame. people.

Sun Chengzong above looked coldly at the generals in the hall, his eyes were full of disappointment.This veteran felt extremely sad. This is the general of Liaodong that the imperial court gave great expectations to. After the failure, he did not find the reason from himself, but pushed the reason to others. Can the imperial court rely on such a person to defend the territory?
"Zu Dashou, the night before Li Xin left, you invited Li Xin to Daling River City. You held a banquet in Daling River City to entertain Li Xin. Is there such a thing?" Sun Chengzong's voice was extremely indifferent, indifferent In an instant, it spread throughout the hall, and there was silence in the hall.The enthusiastic generals who were discussing just now kept silent, as if they did not exist.There are no secrets at all in the huge military camp. Even Jiannu knew about Zu Dashou's Hongmen Banquet, let alone Sun Chengzong.

"This?" Zu Dashou was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was time for the queen of autumn to settle accounts. If there were tens of thousands of Guanning iron cavalry around him, nothing would happen. Unfortunately, there were only a few thousand cavalry around him, so there was no deterrent force at all.

"My lord, the commander-in-chief also thought of killing Li Xin in the simplest way because he learned that Li Xin had an affair with slavery. It is a pity that Li Xin is a very cunning thief. Kill Li Xin, maybe this battle will be another situation." Zu Zerun's face was full of sadness and disappointment.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but soon there was a look of admiration on their faces. They looked at Zu Zerun. They have seen shameless people but they have never seen such shameless people. They can say that black is white, and dead is fire. , This is the figure in the officialdom.

"You." Qiu Hejia's old face flushed with anger, and he pointed at Zu Zerun speechlessly. The original conspiracy became so noble in Zu Zerun's mouth.

"Enough." Sun Chengzong listened to the twittering noise next to him, his old face burst into anger, his eyes were like lightning, he glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Wu Xiang's face, and said with a sneer: "The old man knows right and wrong. I also understand. Now that the army is defeated, all the responsibilities are placed on Li Xin’s head. It’s really ridiculous. This battle is only because of the defeat. Wu Xiang, you ran away and ruined our army’s morale. On the battlefield, you are the commander-in-chief, and you cannot be beheaded for the time being, so you should not be the commander-in-chief for the time being, but stay at home and wait for the imperial court to deal with it!"

"Master Supervisor, you." Wu Xiang was about to speak, but saw Sun Chengzong's face was gloomy, looking at him coldly, and he didn't dare to speak at the moment, so he quickly bowed his head and retreated.Sun Chengzong is the supervisor. Although there is the Tianzi Sword, Yuan Chonghuan is a lesson from the past. Naturally, he will not kill Wu Xiang because of Wu Xiang's matter.Although according to the military regulations, killing Wu Xiang is nothing, but Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong back then, which aroused Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, not to mention that Sun Chengzong was still defeated at this time.Once Wu Xiang is killed, those hostile forces in the court will definitely attack him and make himself worse.

"For the situation of this battle, I will personally apologize to the emperor. As for the final result, it has nothing to do with you. At most, I will go to Caishikou." Sun Chengzong sighed: "But you, our army's strength has been greatly damaged. Although Jinzhou City is extremely strong and has many cannons in red clothes, it cannot withstand the attack of Jiannu, so in the near future, you must strengthen the defense of Jinzhou City and pay attention to every move of Jiannu. Hey, if Jinzhou City is lost again, We are all criminals of the court."

"Supervisor." The generals felt desolate after hearing Sun Chengzong's words. To be honest, since Sun Chengzong became the governor of Jiliao, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army has greatly increased, and the weapons and food are also sufficient. On the one hand, Sun Chengzong knows the soldiers. On the other hand, Sun Chengzong's reputation was enough to make those in the court dare not take action against Guan Ning's army.But after this battle, whether Sun Chengzong can save his life is unknown, but it is absolutely impossible to serve as the governor of Jiliao. If the Guan Ning army changes to a supervisor, will there be such a good result?Even Zu Dashou didn't know what to do.

"My lord, you have a wide range of friends, and you are still the emperor's teacher. Is there no way to solve this matter?" Qiu Hejia also persuaded: "This matter is not a crime of war. If the wind direction was not reversed, we would have won this battle." Qiu Hejia also persuaded. He Jia also didn't want Sun Chengzong to leave Liaodong. He knew that Sun Chengzong had made a lot of contributions and had a great reputation. The court's treatment of Sun Chengzong was definitely not the same as Yuan Chonghuan's. But no matter what, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, could not keep his position. , the best result is to go home for the elderly.

"To put it this way, if you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose. There is no crime other than war." Sun Chengzong taught Qiu Hejia.

Qiu Hejia was taken aback when he heard the words, and then turned pale for a while. What is a crime other than war, and what is a sudden reversal of the wind direction? Doesn't this mean that this war is destined by heaven?Spread the word, is Qiu Hejia still alive?
