Chapter 613 Violation of the Order
After coming out of the canyon, Chen Qing ordered to stay and rest on the spot, and no longer follow Jin Bing.

Gao Ding hurried back to the big camp to hand over the order, and met Liu Cui at the gate of the big tent, Liu Cui shook his head and said to him: "Du Tong is very angry, you should be more careful."

Gao Ding felt apprehensive, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked into the big tent, only to see the coach sitting on the seat with a gloomy face, Gao Ding stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, saying: "The humble official is here to deliver the order!"

Chen Qing slapped the table heavily, and said coldly, "Gao Ding, are you convicted?"

"Humble job. I don't know!"

"Huh! What is the mission I gave you, to ambush the enemy on the cliff, how did you do it, and pretend that you are innocent?"

"Reporting to Dutong, it is meaningless to attack the enemy army on the cliff. The golden soldiers walked in the river, and the bow and arrow could not reach it. The fact proves that the humble official left a thousand people near the top of the mountain, and only killed dozens of people. The humble officer intercepted at Taniguchi and shot him."

"enough!"

Chen Qing let out a roar and interrupted Gao Ding's words. He said angrily, "Am I here to destroy the enemy? Could it be that I didn't think of sending troops to intercept the enemy at Taniguchi, and you still need to make up your own mind? You do it on your own, it's going to be bad." I'm a big deal!"

Only then did Gao Ding lower his head, "Convicted of my humble position!"

Chen Qing said angrily: "You disobeyed the military order and acted without authorization. According to the military regulations, it is a felony. I think you have outstanding military achievements. I will spare you the punishment of flesh and blood. From now on, you will be demoted from the commander to the commander. If you commit the crime again next time, I will definitely punish you." I will behead you for public display!"

"Convicted of a lowly position!"

"Go back!"

Gao Ding retreated with shame on his face, and went back to his big tent. Commander Du Min stepped forward and said: "I don't understand the lowly position. The commander shot and killed more than [-] enemy troops. Not only did he have no credit, but he was punished and demoted. Why?"

Gao Ding sighed and said: "What the governor gave me is to clarify the mission, where to go, what to do, and it is not the goal and mission of General Liu Qiong. I will give you a goal and you can play it yourself, as long as you complete the goal. They are two completely different missions. I was given a clear mission, but I completed the target mission. Based on this alone, I did not obey military orders during wartime and acted without authorization, which is a felony under Article [-] of the military regulations. If you win, you can be punished lightly, if you lose, it will be a death penalty, and they will only lower me one level, which is already a light punishment."

"Humble job understands!"

Du Min withdrew, although Gao Ding was convicted, he was in a bad mood, sitting alone in the tent and feeling bored.

At this time, a soldier outside said: "See Du Tong!"

Immediately, I heard the coach's voice, "Is your general there?"

Gao Ding was startled, and quickly got up and walked out of the tent, "Humble job is here!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "I want to check the morale, you can go with me!"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Gao Ding quickly asked the soldiers to bring the horse, and he got on the horse and followed Chen Qing.

Chen Qing said lightly: "I thought about it later, and I also have a certain responsibility. At that time, the time was quite urgent, so I didn't explain it clearly to you."

"It's my humble job. It's a clear task given to me, but my humble job treats it as a target task. It's really against the rules. I'm fined by this humble official."

Chen Qing shook his head, "That being said, this is not my way of doing things. You are a first-class general, not a commander. If I let you do things in a daze, how can you lead your subordinate commanders?"

Gao Ding nodded silently, without speaking.

Chen Qing said again: "My strategic goal is to take advantage of the unique terrain of the Luoshui Road and the disadvantage of the enemy's lack of food and grass, to trap the enemy in the Luoshui Road, to be precise, in Yichuan County and Luojiao. On the northwest official road between the counties, if they want to take Wuren Road, they can also be trapped to death in Wuren Road. Since I have this goal, why don't I trap the enemy troops to death in this canyon, you Tell me why?"

Gao Ding thought for a while and asked, "Is the condition of the canyon not enough?"

"Completely correct!"

Chen Qing explained in detail: "The length of the canyon is less than ten miles, but the length of the enemy army is more than ten miles. Before the tail enters the canyon, the head has already come out of the canyon, so I didn't consider using this canyon to block the enemy. Army, just arrange the army to harass them, destroy the morale of the enemy army, and make the enemy army become frightened."

Hearing this, Gao Ding suddenly understood, "The humble officer intercepted the enemy army at the mouth of the canyon, in fact, we leaked our strategic intentions to the enemy commander."

Chen Qing smiled, "Actually, it's not a leak. How could the enemy commander not think of it? It just made him more sure of our intentions. I guess Wanyan Yinkeshu will not follow the Northwest official route again. Counterattack us, so I can no longer follow at this time, but use this canyon to withstand the enemy's counterattack, the trapped beast will fight, and if we really fight, our [-] army may not be able to withstand the enemy's [-] army."

Gao Ding was ashamed and said: "I'm guilty of a humble job!"

This time he was really convicted. He was not as simple as violating the rules, but leaked the coach's strategic intentions.

Chen Qing said slowly: "I'll give you a chance to make meritorious service. You lead an army of five thousand to defend the abandoned official road above. No matter what means you use, give me a chance to withstand the enemy's army and break through from above."

"Humble job must fight to the death!"

Chen Qing immediately ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees, and the [-] troops cut down the jujube forest in just half a day. Thousands of big trees were transported to the south of the canyon, and some of the big trees were pulled up the mountain by the soldiers with ropes.

The army retreated to the south of the canyon again, preparing to meet the enemy's breakthrough.

At this time, the main force of the Jin army also stopped advancing sixty miles ahead. The reason was that one of the troops sent to inquire about Wu Rendao had fled back. This soldier brought back bad news. Han Chang's army was defeated and Wu Rendao was occupied by the Song army. .

This news was definitely a blockbuster, which shocked all the generals. Wu Rendao's retreat was cut off, what should they do?
All eyes were on the coach Wanyan Yinkeshu, who was half lying on the cart, but Wanyan Yinkeshu was calmer than everyone else at the moment. This result was completely within his expectation.

"When we were crossing the canyon, I saw Chen Qing's true intention. He just wanted to use the terrain to trap us to death, just like he used Luoshui to drown Lisa's army. This is his defensive advantage. It is impossible for him to abandon it, and there is no need to deny that we are indeed facing a severe survival crisis, and if we fail, our entire army will be wiped out."

All the generals were in an uproar, "Marshal Du, what should we do?"

The generals were all emotional, and the big tent was full of noise.

"Shut up for me all!"

Wanyan Huonu shouted angrily, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the big tent suddenly fell silent.

"Continue to listen to Marshal Du."

Wanyan Yinke waved his hand, "Don't worry, everyone. There is no unparalleled road. If it is not possible, we will fight with the Song army. I believe that at least half of the army can survive."

"Fight with Song Jun!"

A ten thousand elder roared, and the crowd immediately cheered up, demanding a battle with the Song army. This trip to the south was really aggrieved, and the anger had already accumulated in their hearts.

Wanyan Yinkeshu waved his hand again, and the tent quickly fell silent, Wanyan Yinkeshu said again: "The most urgent thing now is to appease the morale of the army, Marshal!"

Wanyan Huo Nu hurriedly stepped forward, "The humble job is here!"

"Can all the horses shot dead in the canyon be brought out?"

"All brought out, a total of eleven hundred horses."

Wanyan Yinkeshu said to everyone: "Although I also know that everyone can't accept eating horse meat emotionally, but now is a special situation, you must make it clear to the brothers that we never killed horses, these are all things that were ordered by the Song army. It would be a pity not to eat the horses that were shot."

Everyone agreed and left.

Wanyan Huonu arranged for people to break down the horse meat and reward the three armies.
