Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 298 Expulsion

"Father, Dou Jiande is back."

Ximen Junyi reported and added, "He didn't catch Sun Anzu and Gao Shida back, and he came back with his arms tied."

Wei Zheng smiled, "I bound myself back? It seems that the leader of Dou 200 caught up with his two brothers, and then let the team go. That's why he bound himself back because he thought he was guilty."

Luo Cheng just waved his hand, "Bring me some jars of Erguotou and bring them with you."

Carrying several jars of Erguotou worth five hundred dollars each, Luo Cheng returned to his military tent.

In front of the tent, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, and Wang Fubao bound their arms and knelt there.

Luo Cheng entered the tent and sat down, and then asked to bring the three of them in.

The fourth child and the others rushed to hear the news, and a large number of county soldiers and officers stared at the three of them.

Dou Jiande entered the account and knelt down directly on the ground.

The eight-foot man lowered his head and shouted to the general, "This subordinate betrayed the general's trust and led his brothers to intercept the two Sun Anzu and Gao Shida, but in the end he let them go according to his old feelings. Please punish the general." !"

Luo Cheng just waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's not talk about this for now, I have a good burnt good wine here, it's cold for you to run this trip, drink some wine to warm up first."

He personally poured a large glass of wine for each of the three of Dou Jiande, enough for two taels.

Dou Jiande didn't get up either, he raised his head and took the cup with his mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.

The same is true of Wang and Liu.

He drank it all in one gulp, his face was flushed, he was indescribably free and easy, and he had the taste of heroic devotion to justice.

"Killing two liang of burnt knives in one bite, you really deserve to be a man from Yanzhao, with a big air." Luo Cheng gave the two of them a thumbs up, and then said, "Then have another drink?"

"Come."

Dou Jiande responded loudly.

He caught up with Sun Anzu and the two brothers confronted each other.He scolded them for not running away, but Sun Anzu said that if they were brothers, they should not come after him. He also said that anyone could come after them, and it would be bad luck for them, but Dou Jiande and the other three should not come.

In the end, Sun Anzu scolded Dou Jiande for wanting to exchange his brother's head for a reward.

Dou Jiande was angry.

The brothers scolded each other, and in the end Dou Jiande cut off a corner of his robe with a knife, saying that he would cut off all ties with them, then let them go, and bound himself back to the camp to plead guilty.

The three of Dou drank another big cup.

His face was flushed.

Luo Cheng smiled and poured another glass for the three of them.

Dou couldn't drink anymore, but he still had the courage to drink this cup again.

After drinking the three cups, Dou could no longer kneel straight.

"Now tell me, what's going on?" Luo Cheng turned back and sat there asking.

Dou Jiande briefly explained the situation, in short, he took into account the brotherhood, and then let them go.

"It is said that Dou Jiande is righteous, and the most righteous is Bo Yuntian, who is proud and dry. I saw you today, as expected. It's just that you treat Sun Gao and Sun Gao as brothers, but when they say that, don't they treat you as brothers. They ran away privately , I put you brothers in a disadvantageous situation. Now that you catch up with them, they let you let them go. They ran away, but didn't they think that you would be punished?"

Dou Jiande lowered his head and did not speak.

On the other side, Liu Heikai was already reeking of alcohol, cursing Sun Anzu and Gao Shida, saying that there were no brothers like them.

Luo Cheng asked Liu Heita, "Since you are dissatisfied with those two, why didn't you stop Dou Jiande, but let him let him escape?"

Liu Heitai's eyes were red, "Brother Dou is my elder brother. Although I don't agree with him letting those two grandsons escape, I have to listen to my elder brother."

"Wang Fubao, what about you?" Luo Cheng asked again.

Wang Fubao blushed and said, "I will listen to my brother-in-law."

"Hahaha." Luo Cheng laughed.

Dou Jiande raised his head, "General, I was the only one who decided to let Sun Gao and Sun Gao go privately. I am responsible for all the crimes. I will deal with it according to the general. I also ask the general to let Liu Heita and Wang Fubao go."

"You really talk about loyalty, but Sun Anzu and Gao Shida are not loyal enough."

"It's just that in the army, you can't just talk about brotherly loyalty, but the most important thing is military law and discipline. Liu Heita, in the army, Dou Jiande is the leader of 200 people like you. Regardless of your rank, you have to call Dou Jiande the eldest brother. What does the eldest brother say?" It is actually more effective than military orders. And Wang Fubao, you are in the army, and you think your brother-in-law is more effective than military orders."

"Although the three of you have been under my command for half a year, you were very brave and performed well in battle and charge. You have never been counseled. You are worthy of Yanzhao men. But in this matter, you are all naive, and you only care about personal friendship. , Brother loyalty, ignoring military orders and regulations."

"To be honest, I'm very disappointed. Originally, I planned to promote the five of you to be lieutenants and unite each battalion to reward your achievements. But now, you are giving up on yourself and ruining your bright future."

Dou lowered his head again.

Liu Heitai's eyes turned even redder.

"Do you regret it?" Luo Cheng asked.

A trace of confusion flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes. He really didn't know how to choose between his brother's loyalty and his personal future.Do you regret it, regret it, but if you do it again, maybe you will still choose to let Sun Gao and the two go.

Dou Jiande remained silent.

Luo Cheng asked Liu Heita.

Liu Heitai said directly, "To be honest, I regret it, because after hearing what the general said, I realized that those two are not our real brothers at all."

The fourth child stood aside, already a little impatient.

"Five, no matter what, they chose the path themselves. Since they chose this path, they can't blame others. Military law must be strict, otherwise how can there be military discipline in the future? Even if the three of Dou Jiande and Sun Gao didn't conspire He ran away, but he himself asked for orders to chase someone, but he deliberately let go after he chased him, this must not be tolerated."

"It must be beheaded to show the public!" The fourth child is the general of the second regiment, and the five people including Dou Liu are all under his command.Sun Gao and Sun Gao ran away, leaving him completely humiliated, and the three of Dou Liu and Wang chased after him, but in the end there was such a private release, which made him even more shameless.

"Wei Jishi, what do you think these three people should be guilty of, and how should they be dealt with?" Luo Cheng asked Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng glanced at the three Hebei fellows, but said very bluntly, "Let's release the deserters without permission. They must be severely punished. But it's not enough to behead them. Considering their achievements in the past, they can be deprived of their military posts and punished with sticks." Army sticks, and then punished and sent to the civilian camp to build a city."

"Siye, what about you?"

Luo Cheng Wenbu and a regiment favored Luo Siye.

"There is no need for such a person to stay in our army, drive them out." Siye said coldly.

"General Qi, what's your opinion?"

"Chase it." Fatty Qi narrowed his eyes and said.

Then Luo Cheng asked Jia Runpu, the general of the second cavalry regiment, and Lao Jia's opinion was that they should be reduced to pawns and punished with twenty sticks, so that they could atone for their sins in the future.

The tent is full of generals and schools, and no one intercedes for these three people.

In the end, Xiao Liu said something for them, saying that they can be demoted and retained, after all, they have fought side by side and shed blood together, and their own people don't have to kill their own people.

"If Ben would give you a chance, would you still be willing to stay?"

Dou Jiande, a big man with a thick back and waist, was stunned for a moment when he heard this voice.

"General?"

"I'm going to give you a choice now, and it's up to you to choose. One, stay, with a staff of forty, and be demoted to the head of the team. Two, deprive the military of posts, expel them from the barracks, and go to the civilian camp to build a city."

Both Liu Heitai and Wang Fubao turned their heads to look at Dou Jiande. No matter what Dou chooses, the two of them are willing to follow him.

Dou Jiande said in a low voice, "Thank you General for your kindness. Dou Jiande thanked General for not killing me. Originally, I should have stayed and continued to be under the General's command, serving as the General's pawn. It's just that Jiande knows that it is a serious violation of military discipline. If I continue to stay, I will only Afraid of setting a bad example in the future.

I... I want to leave the military camp and go to the civilian camp to build a city. "

"Have you made up your mind?"

Dou Jiande said with difficulty, "After thinking about it, go to the Minfu camp."

Luo Cheng shook his head, "Dou Jiande, you disappointed me very much. You said you would be a bad example if you stayed, but I think you are running away. You have no eggs like Sun Anzu Gao Shida. I will give you a chance to stay. I just want to see you agree, and then prove that I have not misunderstood you. But now, you are afraid, and you ran away. "

He sighed angrily.

"Okay, since you don't want to stay, then I won't keep you anymore. Now, I will cut off your military posts and drive the three of you out of the county barracks. In addition, you will not go to the civilian camp, nor will Lao Tzu's civilian camp." If you are willing to keep eggless people like you, if you want to escape, then get out, get out and go back to Zhangnan Nan's house in Hebei."

Dou Jiande raised his head.

"General."

"roll!"

"General, before you leave, can you give me another glass of wine?"

"Willing to drink, I have three cups."

"Then I'll drink three cups."

Luo Cheng drew his sword and cut the ropes on the three of them.

Dou Jiande got up and filled himself with wine.

He raised his glass, "This cup is for me, Dou Jiande, to thank the general for his trust in our brothers before, and to confer the position of head of the centurion as soon as he entered the army."

After speaking, he drank it down.

Then he filled another glass.

"This cup is to thank the general for not killing me."

He drank again.

Shaking his head, Dou Jiande poured himself another cup with trembling hands.

"This cup, thank you General...I... Dou Jiande will always remember the general's cultivation..." Raise the glass and drink again, Dou Jiande fell over after drinking, but he was already drunk and unconscious.

Liu Heitai and Wang Fubao drank three cups without saying a word.

"I, Liu Heitai, don't know how to talk. In short, I also drank three glasses of wine. I thank the general for his cultivation and the grace of not killing. I came with Brother Dou. Now that we are leaving, we will go together."

·······
The three of them were very drunk and were carried down by Luo Cheng.

The fourth child frowned and said, "Let them go like this, and let them go back to their hometown. Isn't this equivalent to exempting them from labor labor? It's too cheap for them, isn't it?"

Luo Cheng sighed. He remembered that when he chased Wang Bo back then, Qin Qiong let Wang Bo go out of brotherhood, but he didn't stop him. In the end, Zhang Xutuo knew about it, but he didn't go into it.

Luo Cheng could have killed the three of them, but he didn't.

"After all, they have all fought side by side with us. They were also brothers in the same robe. Let's keep this kind of incense. After all, they are not deserters on the battlefield." This decision was a bit difficult, but it was finally decided.

"By the way, let Zhao Gui quietly let Sun and Gao go. Since Dou Jiande and Dou Jiande are not killed, there is no need to kill these two. Let's save some energy and kill the Goguryeo people."

The expedition to the Liao Dynasty has just started, but the Central Plains is already in chaos. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. There is no need to do everything right. Keep this bit of incense, and maybe it will be useful in the future.After all, Dou Jiande was also the king of Hebei in history.

"I don't understand you, so it's up to you." The fourth child shook his head and left.
