The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 202

"Young master, hurry up!"

But at this time, Ju Shou pulled out the long sword on his waist, shouted, and then came to welcome Wei Tao, trying to stop Wei Tao.

However, even military generals like Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang could only hold grudges at Wei Tao's halberd in the end, and they were no more than a counselor. Although they also practiced martial arts, how could they be Wei Tao's opponent?
Wei Tao didn't need any special moves, he just raised the halberd in his hand and knocked slightly on the long sword that the opponent was cutting.

"clang!"

Jushou suddenly couldn't hold the long sword in his hand.

Then Wei Tao swept the halberd again, hitting Jushou's waist and knocking him off his horse.

After all, Wei Tao was merciful in this blow, he didn't kill Jushou directly, but just knocked him off his horse.

Although Jushou has the disadvantage of disregarding human nature, it has to be said that he can act like a gentleman in other aspects, and his resourcefulness is even more top-notch.

Just look at this time Zhuge Jin not only relied on aggressive generals, luring the enemy, and fire attack, all of them were used, but he still caused heavy losses to the Bingzhou Army.

When Wei Tao knocked him off his horse, it was natural that there were soldiers following him to capture Jushou, and Wei Tao naturally continued to go straight to Yuan Shang.

At this time, Yuan Shang had come to his senses, but the first thing he did when he came to his senses was to run away in a hurry.

"Where is Yuan Shang going?"

Seeing Yuan Shang still wanted to run away, Wei Tao would not let him go, so he urged his horse to chase after him.

Originally, Wei Tao and Yuan Shang's horses were generally excellent, but compared to Yuan Shang, Wei Tao's riding skills were not so good. The sharpness of the halberd has already faintly pointed at the back of his heart.

"General Wei, spare your life!"

What Wei Tao didn't expect was that Yuan Shang, who realized that he couldn't escape, even yelled loudly before Wei Tao shot his halberd.

Wei Tao was taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and Yuan Shang took advantage of Wei Tao's moment of astonishment, rolled off his horse, and then bowed to Wei Tao.

"I am willing to surrender, and I also ask the general to spare my life for my father's sake. My father loves me very much. If the general has anything, my father will definitely agree."

At this time, Wei Tao also came back to his senses, seeing that although Yuan Shang barely kept his composure, the panic on his face could no longer conceal the fear in his heart.

But even so, Yuan Shang just bowed slightly, and even refused to bow, and he wanted to maintain the face of the aristocratic family, which really made Wei Tao laugh.

"Yuan Benchu, a hero in his lifetime, should have such a son, it is really sad."

Wei Tao smiled coldly, he had dealt with this Yuan Shang quite a lot, and knew that he was actually an idiot, so he didn't bother to talk to him at this time, he just waved his hand and ordered someone to take him into custody, and then said that.

"Since you have surrendered, even if you order Yuan Jun's soldiers to abandon their weapons and surrender, if not, I can only send you into battle to frighten Yuan Jun!"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Yuan Shang was also helpless, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. Although he was not reconciled, he still stepped forward to persuade Yuan's soldiers to surrender.

After all, Yuan Shang was the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army, and with him coming forward to surrender, although those Yuan soldiers were also unwilling, they all surrendered one after another, which saved Wei Tao a lot of thought.

Although three or 4000 people were lost in this battle, more than 7000 people were captured in the end. In addition, the number of beheaded and burned people was even greater. Yuan Shang and Jushou were also captured. This battle can be described as a complete victory. .

But when Wei Tao ordered Yu Jin and Pan Zhang to clean up their troops, Zhuge Jin came alone on foot. When he walked under Wei Tao's horse, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Wei Tao.

"Although he won this time, Ran Jin put the Bingzhou soldiers in danger, so much so that even if he injured three thousand soldiers at a time, his crime could not be offset. Now I hereby plead guilty to the Lord and ask the Lord to punish him."

Hearing what Zhuge Jin said, Wei Tao was slightly taken aback, not only Wei Tao, but even Yu Jin and Pan Zhang who were about to leave to rectify the army were also taken aback.

Zhuge Jin why?
On the battlefield, injuries are unavoidable, if they are punished for this, then I am afraid that after every battle, all the generals will be punished, how can this be the case?
What's more, Zhuge Jin has made great achievements this time, and those injuries are inevitable losses in luring the enemy.

Is this a crime?
"Why is Tzuyu like this?"

Even Wei Tao was a little puzzled, and said with a slight frown.

"My lord, don't say that this time the enemy was almost defeated, but the soldiers who were cut off for it were my Bingzhou athletes. They all died because of my scheme. If Jin is not cured, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction in the army. Time has actually damaged the reputation of the lord."

Hearing what Zhuge Jin said, Wei Tao understood somewhat.

There was even a reason why he boasted about Han Meng so much before, and then put himself in a stalemate with him.

If the other generals were defeated, they would be defeated, but they themselves could not be defeated. Once their prestige and reputation were damaged, it would be impossible for them to give orders as before, even if they were going through fire and water.

"What's more, such casualties are naturally fine now, but if someone provokes them, it will become a hidden danger for the Bingzhou army in the future. If the lord wants to help the big man and resist the foreigners, he must be rewarded and punished clearly. Only in this way can the army go up and down Convinced by it, the order is forbidden."

Wei Tao thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly, watching Zhuge Jin speak slowly.

"Zhuge Jin, you have made meritorious deeds this time. You have defeated Yuan Jun, but you have harmed our Bingzhou soldiers and disturbed our Bingzhou army's morale. Can you plead guilty?"

"Jin is convinced."

Zhuge Jin bowed again and said slowly.

"Chong!"

Hearing what Zhuge Jin said, Wei Tao pulled out his sword suddenly, and as soon as he stepped forward, he grabbed Zhuge Jin's hair, as if he was going to kill one of the swords.

But Zhuge Jin didn't move at all, as if he had already put life and death aside, even if Wei Tao really wanted to kill him here at this time, he would not have the slightest complaint.

Naturally, Wei Tao would not kill a talented subordinate so easily, but seeing Zhuge Jin like this, Wei Tao still couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

This is my subordinate.

With a slight effort, the long sword slashed suddenly, cutting off half of Zhuge Jin's hair immediately, Wei Tao raised his hand high and interrupted and said loudly.

"Although Zhuge Jin committed a serious crime, I think Zhuge Jin is quite talented, so I will atone for his crime. This time, I will cut off his hair to replace the head. If there is another time, he will definitely be beheaded!"

The body is skinned, and the parents who are affected by it dare not to be hurt, the beginning of filial piety.

Therefore, Wei Tao's attack was considered an extremely serious punishment.

It was just a miserable victory, but the rather sluggish morale was revived at this time.
