Han Shizu

Chapter 937
Because of the first arrival, there were many delays and twists and turns along the way, and I was very tired. I didn't talk nonsense, and after a brief understanding of the pre-military situation, I announced the end of the meeting.However, Liu Chengyou still kept Fu Yanqing, Chai Rong, Murong Yanzhao, and Zhao Kuangyin, and Gao Huaide who had arranged for the imperial army to return to his command.

These five people are the core commanders of the hundreds of thousands of Han troops in Yunzhou. Facing the emperor's intention to keep them, the generals looked at each other and the emperor, and subconsciously became serious.

Sitting behind the case, Liu Chengyou lost the peace he had just now, looked at Fu Yanqing, and asked directly, "Has Shi Yanchao's body been found?"

As soon as this question came out, the one with the most serious expression in the tent was of course Fu Yanqing. He also understood that the question was about Shi Yanchao's body, and he must be concerned about that defeat.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Yang Ye attacked the Liao army for the second time. After defeating the Liao army, his body was found at Nangukou, where he was ambushed. His face was incomplete, his body was bruised and bruised, and he was shot with thirteen arrows. He had already been buried behind the Great Wall along with other fallen soldiers. North," Fu Yanqing said, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

As he said that, Fu Yanqing got up, bowed down, and asked: "Your Majesty, Shi Yanchao's defeat has caused thousands of forbidden cavalry to suffer heavy losses. Although Shi Yanchao aggressively pursued him, it is also a mistake of the servant. The military order is not clear, and it was not advanced Warning confession.

Although Shi Yanchao was defeated, he was eager for meritorious service. When he was in danger, he fought to the death, broke through for other soldiers, and died fighting hard.This failure, I am willing to take full responsibility for it! "

Fu Yanqing said this sincerely, and it was a bit surprising that he took the blame on himself.Liu Chengyou looked at him, and raised his hand lightly: "King Wei excuse me!"

"Shi Yanchao was defeated and fought to his death. Finally, he did not degrade our army and humiliate our body. Since he is dead, how can I be too harsh?" Liu Chengyou said.

Not only was he giving Fu Yanqing face, but he also didn't want to embarrass a dead person anymore, and he was still a brave general who fought hard to the death.In fact, if Shi Yanchao came back alive, it would definitely not be easy, and Liu Chengyou might even use his head to stern military law.In many cases, one death is really a hundred. As far as the values ​​​​of ordinary soldiers are concerned, Shi Yanchao's death in battle is a good thing, and he will not think deeply about cause and effect.

It was also chasing the enemy, advancing aggressively, and being ambushed. Li Chongjin's losses in Jiming Mountain were even more severe, but if it was talked about which battle made Liu Chengyou more angry, of course it was Shi Yanchao.

At the beginning, Li Chongjin had the right to make decisions on the fly. There was nothing wrong with the judgment and choice of the pursuit, but he underestimated the enemy and even had that disastrous defeat.

Shi Yanchao is not the case. Fu Yanqing's military order was to test the Liao army in Yunzhong. After finding out the situation, he attacked and chased without asking for instructions. This is already a violation of military law.

Even if there is a saying that "the general is outside", reckless and hasty advance is still a taboo for military strategists, not to mention Kang Zaiyu's several times of advice, he did not listen to it at all, insisted on going his own way, and fell to his death.

More importantly, only a few months have passed since the defeat at Jiming Mountain, and the generals and schools of the Northern Expedition were also notified of the battle, but Shi Yanchao did not take any precautions based on previous lessons.At the same time, it completely violated the emperor's "steady and steady" combat policy.

Various factors made Liu Chengyou extremely dissatisfied with Shi Yanchao's defeat.If Shi Yanchao came back, he would definitely call out his teacher and punish him severely.

After pondering for a while, looking around, Liu Chengyou said calmly: "What do you guys think about Shi Yanchao's defeat?"

Obviously, Liu Chengyou still has knots in his heart about this matter.Seeing this, Chai Rong took the initiative to speak, and said to the point: "Since the Northern Expedition, our army has fought dozens of battles and small battles with the Liao army, with more victories and fewer losses. Especially in the two battles of Tanzhou and Nankou, the Liao army wiped out ten times. Yu Wan. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the officers and men will feel proud, so they underestimate the Liao army, and they will inevitably lose caution in combat.

The reason why Shi Yanchao rushed into the trap of the Liao army was probably influenced by his emotions besides his eagerness to make contributions and his bold advance."

"Chai Qing is right!" Liu Chengyou immediately affirmed Chai Rong's statement, and said to the people present: "You are all battle-tested generals. I don't need to say more about the truth that a proud soldier must be defeated. I see that in the army, He is very impetuous, eager to fight, and has a strong heart, and he doesn't seem to take Yunzhou City seriously. This is unacceptable!
King Wei also said that although there are few defenders in Yunzhou, they still have a strong will to resist, and the city is thick and there are good generals stationed there.If we are negligent because we are surrounded by ten times as many troops and feel that this city is within our reach, we will definitely suffer a big loss.

I hope that everyone can learn from it and be good at controlling soldiers! "

"Your Majesty's instruction, I will keep it in mind!" After Liu Chengyou finished speaking, they all responded in unison.

Liu Chengyou said to Chai Rong again: "As for the morale of the army, I will leave it to Chai Qing to deal with. The attack and defense of the city has always been difficult, and it is impossible to affect the war in Yunzhou because of its own problems!"

"Yes!"

After a pause, he glanced at Murong Yanzhao and Zhao Kuangyin, and finally said to Fu Yanqing: "The attack on Yunzhong will be under the overall command of King Wei!"

"You guys have no opinions!"

"Wei Wang is a veteran general on the battlefield, commanding well, and the ministers should obey orders and cooperate fully!" Zhao Kuangyin, who was extremely politically aware, was the first to express his opinion.

In fact, apart from Fu Yanqing, there was no other commander in charge of the siege. After all, this was his home field, and he also had to take into account the psychology of the soldiers of the West Route Army.

"Everyone is in charge of the war, I can be a spectator with peace of mind!" Liu Chengyou finally smiled.

The generals came out one after another, the imperial tent became quiet again, Liu Chengyou pondered for a while, got up and walked around in the tent for a long time, expressing deep thoughts.Out of the corner of the eye, I saw a figure, but it was Concubine Gao who walked in, followed by two palace servants, carrying vegetables, food and hot water.

It was Liu Chengyou's turn to make a choice, whether to eat first or soak his feet first.Finally decided, together.

Concubine Gao squatted down, this posture fully displayed her provocative posture, mature charm, and graceful figure, and gently washed Liu Chengyou's feet.
Concubine Gao Gui is a rather complicated woman, remarried, her body and appearance are all in good shape, she was born in a general family, her character is also soft but strong, although she has the heart to compete for favor, she has always known the general.Most importantly, he has always been obedient to Liu Chengyou, and has always served him with all his heart. For more than ten years, he has not changed.This is also the reason why he has always favored Concubine Gao for so many years, not just because of the Gao family.

"Officials, Dingxiang Army envoy Yang Ye is asking to see you!" Zhang Dejun came to report.

"Xuan!"

Seeing Liu Chengyou's bright face, Concubine Gao said: "Your love will come, I will not bother you two!"

Saying that, Yingying resigned and went to the inner tent.There is no way, the imperial concubine is in the tent, and her clothes are a bit seductive, so it is inconvenient to be in front of foreign ministers.

Yang Ye was summoned to enter, and what he saw was the emperor who was wiping his feet, and he immediately bowed to him: "The last general will see your majesty!"

"Quick and free! Sit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Let's eat with me!" For Yang Ye, Liu Chengyou was as enthusiastic as ever, and personally arranged the dishes for him.

Regarding this, Yang Ye couldn't help showing a touch of emotion on his resolute face, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty."

"We monarchs and ministers don't need to talk about those nonsense!" Liu Chengyou said with a light smile: "You, Yang Chonggui, deserve all the credit you have made for the great man!"

From the first time he met Yang Ye, Liu Chengyou liked to have dinner with him, not only because of the closer relationship, but also because Yang Ye can often catch up with the meal time.

"I have also read the battle report in detail. You fought beautifully in that battle. With [-] people, you defeated the enemy several times. After chasing more than a dozen miles, you killed thousands of enemies and forced the Liao army away. The name of 'Yang Wudi' is very desirable! After this war, who else in the world doesn't know you, Yang Chonggui?" Liu Chengyou was full of praise.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, how dare you be the last general!" Yang Ye looked a little embarrassed.

"Accurate judgment, bold use of troops, thorough preparations, bravery in battle, heroic generals, that's all!" Liu Chengyou said seriously.

However, Yang Ye responded: "If General Shi hadn't fought first and exhausted the Liao army, he wouldn't have taken advantage of this opportunity with me!"

"Are you speaking for Shi Yanchao?" Liu Chengyou looked at him playfully.

Yang Ye said calmly: "The final general is just telling the truth!"

"I have this general, the blessing of the great man!" Liu Chengyou sighed.

After a pause, he said to him again: "Since the Northern Expedition, the generals and soldiers of the Han Dynasty have fought bloody battles, with more than [-] casualties. Shi Yanchao is the one with the highest military rank among the generals who died in battle. Of course, I am angry with Shi Yanchao for his impetuous progress. Tired of thousands of soldiers, without fear of casualties. However, I still admire his ambition and bravery, and I also pity him when he died in battle."

"Your Majesty is merciful and sympathetic, how dare the soldiers refuse to repay him with death!" Hearing this, Yang Ye respectfully sang praises to Liu Chengyou.

Liu Chengyou smiled, and asked Yang Ye to drink and eat meat, and exchanged pleasantries with him.

"You have been on the throne for more than ten years, and it is not easy. After this battle is over, I will make it up to you!"

"I heard that you already have three sons. You still need to work hard. I have more than ten sons and daughters."
