Man Tanghong

Chapter 1001 Fighting For Dignity
Facing Zhao Chengyong's questioning, the Yong Wangwei officer who took the right ear said awkwardly: "The first time this subordinate cut his left ear was cut in half, so the subordinate can only cut him. I got my right ear back."

Zhao Chengyong said coldly: "So Sima of the Right Ear Army will recognize it?"

The Yong Wangwei soldier holding the right ear was stunned speechless, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Zhao Chengyong continued: "Don't say that his left ear is broken in half, even if it is three, four, or five, you have to cut it off and bring it back. If it is really broken, there is no way to bring it back , then you should cut off his head, so that I can go to Jun Sima to repay you!"

The Yong Wangwei soldier holding the right ear lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I understand, I will definitely chop off his head and bring it back next time!"

Although these words are not accurate, after all, it is impossible for a person to be hacked twice, but anyone who hears the meaning can understand.

Zhao Chengyong snorted coldly and said, "This time, treat it as if you didn't win!"

The guard of King Yong with his right ear nodded stiffly.

It's not that Zhao Chengyong deliberately withheld his credit or made things difficult for him, but that he didn't follow the rules and didn't find a way to make up for it. Zhao Chengyong couldn't help him even if he wanted to.

Army Sima counts military merit by counting ears and heads, and there is a corresponding set of rules and regulations. If the general speaks in another army, the Army Sima will give him some face.

But how can the army Sima give face to King Yong Weizhong?
If Li Yuanji seeks personal gain in front of Li Yuanji, will his army commander still do it?
Therefore, the military Sima in Yongwang Weizhong will not show any kindness, he will meticulously follow the regulations.

Regarding this matter, Li Yuanji did not intervene. Although he knew very well that the Yong Wangwei general who held the right ear would not dare to lie in front of him, some lessons still need to be learned, otherwise it is easy to have a fluke mentality, and he will continue to break the rules in the future.

After counting the gains of all the soldiers, everyone set up camp on the spot and fell asleep.

And this encounter, no one took it seriously.

After all, only 35 people were beheaded. On the big battlefield of Turkic, it doesn't even count as splashes.

When Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Hou Junji, Xue Wanche and others repaid their merits, they were beheaded by thousands or tens of thousands.

Dozens of people, they have no face to mention.

The next day, when the sky was bright, everyone woke up, packed their bags and set off again.

A day and a half later, the group arrived in Baiyang City.

As Su Dingfang said, Baiyang City was built between two hills. It is a small city that can barely accommodate more than 3 people. The city wall is not high, only about one and a half feet, and it is made of loess. The box is not big, and it looks like a firewood box from a distance.

Looking closer, it is only as big as two rooms.

There are no banners on the top of the city, only hundreds of soldiers guarding it.

But the other side of the city is different. The city wall was built almost to the waist of the hills on both sides, and it was several feet high. The gates and buildings on the west side were enlarged by a large circle. The city walls were crowded with people and banners, full of majesty, as well as the sense of urgency and chill during the war.

Xue Wanche was the first to go out of the city to greet him. He rode a fast horse and overtook Su Dingfang and the others. He rushed to the front of the team. After reining in his horse, he gave a hasty salute and began to shout loudly, "Your Highness, please Allow me to duel with Cheng Pifu and Yuchi Pifu!"

Li Yuanji asked a little funny, "Why are you still fighting?"

Xue Wanche shouted angrily: "Cheng Piff and Yuchi Piff are bullying too much!"

Li Yuanji guessed the reason after thinking for a while, it must be Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong who laughed at Xue Wanche's loss to Li Shiji's apprentice, that's why Xue Wanche wanted to fight with them, to fight them.

In this matter, Xue Wanche was still very disciplined, he did not violate the wartime prohibition, and decided with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong in private, but waited for him to make a decision and asked him to make a decision.

From this point of view, Xue Wanche is not a downright reckless person, but is very disciplined.

That's fine.

"Since they're bullying too much, after you enter the city, you'll have a fight with each of them, and I'll be your middleman."

Li Yuanji said with a smile.

When he, Li Shimin, Zhao Chengyong, and Wang Xuance arrived, if any of Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Xue Wanche had a problem, someone would replace him, so if Xue Wanche, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong each had a fight, It will not have any impact on the overall situation.

Hearing this, Li Shimin pursed his lips and said, "Is that why you agreed?"

Li Yuanji looked sideways at Li Shimin and said, "Why didn't you agree? If Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong hadn't bullied him hard, he would have proposed a duel with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong?"

Xue Wanche obeyed the rules and knew how to take care of the overall situation, so he would definitely not easily propose a duel with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong at this time.

It must be that Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong didn't bully people enough, and they bullied Xue Wanche so hard that Xue Wanche couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to fight them.

In this case, it is time to support Xue Wanche.

As for whether Xue Wanche can win the fight, that is his own business.

Anyway, if he can't win, there's his third brother, if his third brother can't win, there's his second brother, if his second brother can't win, there's his elder brother.

He has nothing else but that he has many brothers who can fight, whether they are fighting on wheels or shoulder to shoulder, they can always get justice for him.

Li Shimin curled his lips when he heard this, and hummed twice, but didn't speak again.

Because he knew Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong well.

Yu Chigong is alright, but Cheng Yaojin is just a talker, and he can't make enough sarcasm.

There is an 80.00% chance that Xue Wanche is the one who provoked Cheng Yaojin.

Since Cheng Yaojin dared to provoke Xue Wanche, he had to be prepared to appease Xue Wanche's anger.

"Ahaha, Suntu Xue, what are you doing running so fast, do you want to sue me for being tricky in front of His Highness?"

Not long after Li Shimin shut his mouth, Su Dingfang arrived with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin showed his face, he began to ridicule Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche stared angrily, but because he didn't explode in front of Li Yuanji, he just stared at Cheng Yaojin viciously.

Cheng Yaojin winked at Xue Wanche after following Su Dingfang to salute.

When Cheng Yaojin winked, Li Yuanji asked with a smile, "Why did you call Xue Wanche Xue Suntu?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Xue Wanche can't even beat Li Shiji's son and disciple, isn't he the grandson?"

Xue Wanche's angry hair almost stood on end.

Li Shimin coughed twice, Yu Chigong heard Li Shimin's cough, and hurried forward to persuade him, "Old Cheng, don't talk nonsense in front of Your Highness."

Cheng Yaojin heard the reminder, instead of restraining himself, he said with a cheerful smile: "I'm telling the truth, Your Highness can't punish me for telling the truth, right?"

Cheng Yaojin had something in his words, so he almost said, 'You can't just take me out for your confidant just because I said a few truths'.

This is actually a kind of test, to test whether they have been removed from the label of the old part of the Qin Palace.

If it wasn't for Li Shimin who was right next to him, Li Yuanji would have wanted to praise him.

Because he chose the timing very cleverly. He and Yu Chigong had just made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and Xue Wanche happened to be defeated by Li Shiji's apprentice. He used Xue Wanche as a springboard to test whether they had been removed from the old part of the Qin Palace. Not only will it not magnify the problem, but it will also leave enough room for itself.

If the matter fails, or the result of the test is not what he wants, then he can also deal with the matter by joking with Xue Wanche.

In the worst case, I would give Xue Wanche an apology, an apology, and it wouldn't hurt anything anyway.

So he deserves credit.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "That's not true, but Xue Wanche just proposed to fight a duel with you, and I agreed."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, and Yu Chigong was also stunned.

Cheng Yaojin put away his carefree expression, narrowed his eyes, smiled like a fox and said, "Your Highness wants to end in person?"

Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "That won't be the case. You can resolve the conflicts between you yourself. What will happen to me?"

Xue Wanche also said viciously at this time: "I'm the one fighting you, Your Highness won't make a move!"

Cheng Yaojin grinned for a moment, and now he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "That's good, then I can rest assured. If His Highness ends up, then we must stay away, but you..."

When Cheng Yaojin said this, he looked at Xue Wanche and laughed.

"Hey Hey……"

It looked like Biao heard the tiger declaring war on him.

Although it belongs to the same kind, Biao can crush tigers.

In terms of force value, Cheng Yaojin can't be said to be able to crush Xue Wanche, the two are brothers, but in terms of mind, eight Xue Wanche may not be able to compare with one Cheng Yaojin.

As for a duel, although the comparison is force, intelligence can also play a vital role.

Therefore, when two people are equal in force, intelligence becomes an important condition to determine the outcome. Whoever has higher intelligence has a higher chance of winning.

Cheng Yaojin's intelligence is undoubtedly higher than Xue Wanche's, so Xue Wanche's duel with Cheng Yaojin is like a tiger's duel with Biao, and the chance of losing is very high.

Cheng Yaojin had a big chance of winning, so he smiled naturally and happily.

As for Yu Chigong, his martial arts is one level higher than Xue Wanche's. If it is better than other weapons, Xue Wanche can handle it, but if it is better than lance, Xue Wanche will be crushed to pieces.

So Xue Wanche asked Yu Chigong for a duel, it was not a duel, it was purely looking for abuse.

Some people may wonder, Xue Wanche has been with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong for so long, don't they know the strength of Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong?

The answer is yes.

Some people may wonder again, why did Xue Wanche seek abuse?

The answer is for dignity.

If you are bullied, fight back, even if you win the fight, you will not lose your dignity.

But if you are bullied, if you don't hit back, your dignity will definitely be lost.

Xue Wanche did not propose to fight Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong for the sake of defeating them, but for his own dignity.
