three kings

Chapter 140 The Eve of the Battle
Cone County.

Sun Can looked gloomyly at the defeat report that had just been sent. For such a cautious person as Xu Huang, he was being tricked by Jia Xu. It seemed that he still underestimated him.

Thinking about it, he was full of worries again. The intelligence said that Xu Huang was shot three times after he swore to die, and he was still unconscious, which really worried him.

At this time, the soldiers outside reported: "General Qi, the two generals Xu Huang and Fan Wu outside the tent are asking to see you."

Sun Can immediately said: "Please come quickly."

Xu Huang and Fan Wu entered one after the other, both of them looked gloomy, obviously the big defeat caused them to suffer a lot of losses, especially Xu Huang, his face was pale and downcast.The two knelt down to plead guilty one after another.

Xu Huang knelt down and worshiped: "Xu Huang is incompetent. He didn't listen to the good words of the lord. He fell into the opponent's trick and caused a big defeat. The military order is in front. Xu Huang's crime is unforgivable, and he is here to lead him to death."

Fan Wu also knelt down and said: "Fan Wu was entrusted by the lord, and he did not serve as a good pioneer. He resolutely decided to fight without listening to Gong Ming's good words, which resulted in a big defeat. His crime is unforgivable. This matter has nothing to do with Gong Ming. Please punish him Fan Wu is alone." His actions were tantamount to taking all the faults on himself.

He is a pioneer, and his opponent is too powerful.The failure is justifiable, and at most it is a penalty for salary, a slap in the face, and a few levels of punishment.This is nothing to him.

However, what Xu Huang issued was a military order. The so-called military order is like a mountain. What Xu Huang committed was a capital crime, an unforgivable capital crime.When a person dies, there is nothing left.Therefore, he was willing to be demoted, and he didn't want Xu Huang, a tough man, to die like this.

Sun Can quickly stepped forward to help Xu Huang and Fan Wu, and said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Is there anyone in the world who can guarantee that he is always victorious? One failure doesn't mean anything. Can Can need a team that can fight a hundred battles?" An army of victories is an iron army that is not arrogant in victory, discouraged in defeat, dragged down, or defeated. Cheer up, we have not failed yet."

"Yes!" Fan Wu was full of gratitude after hearing Sun Can's encouragement, and immediately said: "My lord, don't worry, the general will definitely train such an iron army for my lord."

Xu Huang still knelt on the ground, did not get up, he said: "Xu Huang is incompetent, he fell into Jia Xu's trick, please punish me, my lord."

Sun Can was silent and speechless. If there is no punishment for this matter, it will be a death penalty. How could Sun Can do this to such a loyal, brave and staunch person like Xu Huang.

Xu Huang said sadly: "My lord, if your general violates military discipline, if you don't punish him with military law, can you maintain the dignity of military discipline? When you issued an order, there was no mistake in the order. But you want to take it back, will this not affect the military discipline?" The majesty of military orders?

An army with lax military discipline and weak military orders can go through fire and water without delay, and can it defeat a powerful enemy?
Although Xu Huang is not talented, he also knows how to use soldiers. In this matter, the master should not use righteousness. "

Xu Huang has always been strict with others, and even stricter with himself.No matter who is in the army, he can't be just like him, notarized and selfless, and strictly observe military discipline.No one's soldiers are as obedient as Xu Huang's "Black Panther Battalion". All this stems from Xu Huang's strictness and emphasis on military law.

Now that something happened to him, how could Xu Huang violate the military order himself.In this way, how can he face his soldiers calmly?

Sun Can sighed a long time, and said: "Come here, take Xu Huang down and inform the whole army. At noon tomorrow, he will be executed outside the gate."

"General..." Fan Wu cried out on his knees.

"You all go down!" Sun Can didn't listen to Fan Wu's request, and let us push down directly.
Later, he ordered that he was unwell, and the officers and men should not disturb him.

Until noon the next day.

Sun Can walked out of the military tent, ready to supervise and kill Xu Huang.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw that the perimeter of the tent was full of soldiers, kneeling on the ground one by one. Seeing Sun Can come back, the crowd was excited and shouted: "Please forgive the general, please forgive the general..."

The shouts shook the sky, and the shouts moved the ground.

Zhang Fei, Fan Wu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yunzhu knelt in front of each other.

Zhang Fei was the first to say: "My lord, Gong Ming can't be killed, and Lao Zhang doesn't know why he can't. Anyway, Gong Ming can't be killed!"

Fan Wu begged: "My lord, I have made thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of Fan Wu alone, I beg you to forgive General Xu Huang."

Zhao Yun started from righteousness, and also persuaded: "My lord, Gongming is a notary and selfless, and he is dedicated to serving the Lord. If you kill such a loyal person, you will fear the hearts of the people in the world!"

Zhang Liao also advised: "Killing generals before the battle is not only against people's hearts, but also has no benefit to our army. Please think twice, my lord."

Various requests came to Sun Can's ears one after another.

At this time, Guo Jialang said: "In the past, Ding was beheaded and Yongchi was granted, so the military law was enforced. The law of the king is the punishment of the country. How can human kindness be tolerated. General Xu Huang has signed the military order, and the crime cannot be avoided. It should be executed. Use the law of the army."

All the generals were angry, ignored Guo Jia, and continued to plead with Sun Can.

Sun Can ordered someone to bring Xu Huang.

Xu Huang looked at the soldiers pleading for him one by one, tears rushed out of his eyes.

Sun Can stopped everyone's entreaties and said, "Gongming is Can's confidant and favorite general, and Can can't bear to kill him. However, the military order is like a mountain, and he has to be killed. Today, everyone gathers here to beg for mercy for Gongming, and Can is also willing to kill him." Give him a chance to make him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. What do you think?"

The soldiers cheered.

Sun Can asked again: "Gongming, what do you think? Can's great cause is inseparable from the general. Will the general put down his position and do his best to calm the troubled times for Chan?"

In fact, it is not difficult to convince anyone, the most difficult thing is to convince Xu Huang himself.

A person who regards military law as everything and is stricter than self-interest, after he violates his promise, the punishment will inevitably be even stricter. Xu Huang has long been determined to die. to no avail.

Now, seeing so many people caring about him and caring about him, Xu Huang's desire to die has been greatly reduced. Later, when he saw that Sun Can valued him so much, he was so grateful that he couldn't speak. Fortunately, I met him today, and I will repay him with ten thousand deaths. Xu Huang is willing to take the blame and make meritorious service, and use his useful body to serve the Lord."

All the soldiers present shouted in unison: "We are also willing to swear to die for the lord (my lord)."

"Okay! All the soldiers are so excited, why are you afraid of a small Wancheng?" Sun Can pulled out his sword and shouted: "Send the order, and the soldiers will send to Wancheng."

"Soldiers are sent across the city..."

"Soldiers are sent across the city..."

The soldiers echoed loudly again.

The army swept away the record of two defeats in their hearts, and rushed towards Wancheng with great momentum.

Wancheng official residence, meeting hall.

"Haha! Sun Can's son is still determined. This time I personally lead the army to attack, and I will definitely let him come and go." Since defeating Sun Can's vanguard twice, Zhang Xiu's self-confidence has been greatly enhanced.

"What is invincible and invincible? Is it because I have lost two battles in a row?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help thinking complacently, with a happy look on his face.

Jia Xu shook his head slightly when he saw it, and sighed softly in his heart, "Such a character can become a great weapon." Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of Sun Can who was rushing here.Although he had won both times, he became more and more vigilant towards Sun Can in his heart. He spent a lot of time designing two ambushes. The damage was far worse than expected, especially that Xu Huang, in such an urgent situation.Unexpectedly, he could come up with such a clever way of bluffing to scare off Zhang Xiu.

What kind of person is Sun Can, who can make such an outstanding minister and good general swear to die for him.

While Jia Xu was thinking secretly.

Zhang Xiu asked: "Mr. Wen He, Sun Can's army has arrived. I wonder if there is a way to defeat the enemy?"

Jia Xu came back to his senses and said confidently: "Don't worry, general, the strategy of defeating the enemy has long been in Xu's mind. If Sun Can's army arrives, within ten days, our army will fight against him again. If there are no accidents in this battle, the world will be defeated." There will be no more Sun Can."

"Haha... Then Mr. Lao Wenhe has a good plan." Zhang Xiu had already started to celebrate in advance, and Jia Xu was a god in his eyes.The odds are unquestionable, there are many schemes, and none of them fail.This time, of course, is the same, since Jia Xu said that Sun Can will die, then he is doomed to die.

Jia Xu stayed quietly aside, his thoughts were a little confused, this was the first time in his history, he said silently: "Do I really want to use this trick? If Sun Can really died, what should I do? The only one in the world I really want to destroy one of the two kings. Now if I go to him, I will be reused, right?... No, if he really dies so easily, then he is not qualified to be my Jia Xu My lord. If he doesn't die, then there is a possibility of defeating me."

Thinking of this, everything suddenly became clear, and he thought: "Sun Ziyu, come quickly, and see if you are the true master of my Jia Xu."

Under Wancheng.

After several days of marching, Sun Can finally arrived at Wancheng. He looked at the towering city wall, which was his origin, but now it became a ditch he had to cross, and he felt a special feeling in his heart.

The gate of Wancheng opened wide, and Zhang Xiu led a group of people to fight out.When he learned that Sun Can was coming to provoke him, his self-confidence was too inflated, so he led the army and killed him without even thinking about it.

Zhang Xiu stood in front of the company and the two armies.

Zhao Yun thought to himself: "Master once said that he had two apprentices before accepting me. However, because one was a little poor in aptitude and the other lacked courage. He failed to learn the essence of the 'Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Spear', so we sent them away. They drove down the mountain. The master didn't tell them their names, but according to Gongming, this person should be one of the two senior brothers. If it is true, I advise him to surrender the lord and avoid a fight!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun asked for orders immediately: "My lord, let Yun know Zhang Xiu."

Seeing that it was Zhao Yun, Sun Can readily nodded in agreement.
