Fengshen: I can inherit the inheritance of my subordinates

Chapter 20
10,000+ stone grains were burned, the army suffered nearly [-] casualties, and several generals were lost, including senior generals Ji Shusheng and Huang Tianxiang.In such a war, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a disastrous defeat.

Yang Jian knelt in front of Jiang Ziya to plead guilty.

All the generals were silent, even Nezha, who had always been more active, bowed his head at this moment, and Huang Feihu and his son were even more distraught.

Jiang Ziya laughed at himself and said: "Wen Taishi attacked the camp tonight. We learned in advance that the commander has also made relevant tactical arrangements. He thinks that he is sure of victory. A heavy price! But the result is heartbreaking, such casualties are the first time since the commander took charge of the army, it is because the commander is not good at command, or you have lost the battle!"

There were Cihangdao people who warned in advance and lost the battle. Without him, wouldn't the casualties be even greater.

All the generals said in unison: "It is because we are disadvantaged in the battle."

Jiang Ziya snorted, turned his gaze to Yang Jian, and said, "Yang Jian, as a food supervisor, you took the initiative and left the rear camp at a critical moment, causing the rear camp to be attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses. You can be convicted! "

Yang Jian said: "Disciple is guilty, please punish Master!"

When he rushed back to the rear camp, he saw that the food and grass had been destroyed, and all the soldiers were lying in a pool of blood, including Huang Tianxiang, who was dying. He realized that he had lost in this confrontation with Deng Zhong, a complete defeat.

"Come here, remove Yang Jian from the position of grain supervisor, erase all his previous achievements, and punish him with three hundred army sticks."

If such a big thing happened, someone must be responsible. Otherwise, he would not be able to convince the public. Although Jiang Ziya valued Yang Jian, he made a mistake and treated him equally.

Yang Jian hurriedly said: "The disciple is punished."

It's a pity that the credit is gone, but he didn't care about it. After all, there are still battles to be fought, so he just needs to make more credits. It's just a pity that he lost the rank of food supervisor.

Ever since he came to Xiqi, he has been in charge of escorting food and fodder, and he will also be transferred to the front line to kill the enemy in front-line wars. To be honest, he likes this job very much.

Jiang Ziya said: "Then you can go down and receive the punishment yourself."

"Here!"

Yang Jian got up and left the camp.

Jiang Ziya said: "King Wu Cheng, I'm sorry for the change."

Among the generals, Huang Tianxiang was young and brave. At the age of eight, he had the record of defeating Zhang Guifang's number one general, Feng Lin. Now that a few years have passed, his martial arts are even more extraordinary. Jiang Ziya couldn't help but feel sorry for such a powerful general, but he was defeated on the battlefield.

Huang Feihu put away the sadness in his heart, and said: "With Prime Minister Lao caring, I will not be able to bear this blow."

Since the start of the war between Shang and Zhou, Huang Feihu knew that his family could not be alone, and would definitely sacrifice something. However, in the previous few battles, Xiqi fought smoothly with few casualties, which gave him the illusion that as long as he was careful, his family would be able to survive. People can survive on the battlefield and share the fruit of victory.

Unexpectedly, reality gave him a merciless slap in the face. It was clear that Xiqi had the upper hand, but his youngest son died on the battlefield.

Tianxiang was only 13 years old, and he had a lot of room for growth. At the time when he had ideals and ambitions, he died tragically at the hands of Ji Li, and Tianxiang was jealous of Yingcai.

Jiang Ziya nodded. Although he intended to comfort Huang Feihu, there were many important matters waiting for him to deal with, so he could only suppress his emotional fluctuations.When a battle is won, all parties are happy, but when a battle is lost, it is different.

On the side of the king, a reasonable explanation must be given, otherwise it will not be possible to stop the mouths of the ministers.

Although Xiqi seems to be united internally, it will drag down the big merchants at all costs, which is also Xiqi's core tactic.It's just that this kind of unity is built on the basis of continuous victories. Now that we have lost a battle, the hidden contradictions will emerge.

After all, the last words of the former king were spread in the court, although they were blocked in time by myself, there are not a few ministers who know about it.These people are old-fashioned and only know blind loyalty. They follow the last words of the former king, and they have persuaded the king countless times not to conquer wantonly and not to lose the righteousness of the courtiers.

Only with his own support, the king put aside the advice of these people and ignored it. Later, with several big victories, the voices against the use of troops gradually disappeared.

But a defeat gave these ministers a reason to persuade and attack themselves. It is conceivable that when the report of the defeat is reported back to Xiqi, the whole court will be in chaos.

And Mr. Randeng, he waited for so long and heard that the Grand Master is still doing well in Crouching Tiger Ridge, this is all his dereliction of duty.

When Jiang Ziya thought of this, his head felt as big as a bucket. He glanced at the generals and said, "From today on, Jin Zha will be transferred to the rear camp to take the post of food supervisor. Remember, no matter what happens, you must not leave the rear camp without permission." .”

Jin Zha cupped his hands and said, "The disciple takes orders."

Yang Jian's failure this time was not due to lack of ability, but because the enemy was too cunning to attack the rear camp in two groups. If it was him, he would also be fooled.

Jiang Ziya said: "Huang Tian takes over Jin Zha's position."

After speaking, he felt something was wrong, and stared at Huang Tian, ​​it was Mu Zha who pushed Huang Tian, ​​Huang Tian came back to his senses with a dazed expression on his face.Mu Zha repeated Jiang Ziya's words.

Huang Tian cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders."

Jiang Ziya arranged the post-war affairs and asked the generals to retreat.

After a while, Yang Jian returned after receiving the punishment.

Jiang Ziya glanced at him, and said, "Yang Jian, why don't you feel dissatisfied with this commander's punishment of you?"

Yang Jian said: "I think the punishment is fair."

He is a Qi refiner, receiving hundreds of military sticks is no different from tickling, he doesn't care at all.

Jiang Ziya sighed: "In less than a month, our army has lost several senior generals, which has already shaken the foundation of our army."

Senior generals play a very important role on the battlefield. Although there are many generals like this in the camp at present, there are still many reserve generals in Xiqi City, but Xiqi can't afford it at this rate of consumption.

After all, even if Grand Master Wen is eliminated, the war is far from over, and in future wars, it is unknown how many senior generals will be lost.

Yang Jian said: "Uncle, the death of these people is almost caused by Deng Zhong alone. This person is my confidant in Xiqi, and we must get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise there will be high-ranking generals who will die in his hands."

In Yang Jian's heart, a person with strong military strength, cautious temperament, and good judgment of the situation has already regarded him as an opponent.

Jiang Ziya said: "This person must find a way to get rid of him."

The existence of a single person can change the situation of the battle. Jiang Ziya is well aware of the dangers of this person, but fortunately, although the opponent is highly skilled in martial arts, he is an ordinary person, so it is not difficult to deal with him.

Yang Jian asked who would replace the food supervisor, Jiang Ziya told him it was Jin Zha, and he nodded.Afterwards, the two chatted about tactics for a while before Yang Jian left.
