Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 71

"My lord, two armies with more than a thousand soldiers have descended from the mountain, and they are fighting fiercely!"

A scout came rushing to send a message. After hearing the news, Liu Gan's expression changed slightly. No matter who the two armies down the mountain belonged to, he didn't want to rush there at this time.

Just because the danger comes from the unknown, Liu Gan always likes to use the worst to speculate about the situation where the enemy and the enemy are unknown.

"Where are they fighting?" Liu Gan asked in a deep voice.

"At the foot of the west mountain." The scout replied respectfully.

"To the west." Liu Gan pondered for a while, and then gave orders: "The whole army set out, let's go down the mountain to the east."

Following Liu Gan's order, the two hundred or so remnant troops lined up neatly and walked lightly.

The two teams fighting at the foot of the mountain are Xu Kun and Xue Tong.

Xu Kun chased Liu Gan all the way to the mountains and forests, cast a wide net to search for the traces of Liu Gan's defeated army, and finally found some clues at the foot of a mountain.

However, when Xu Kun discovered Liu Gan's defeated army, Xue Tong also found the location of Liu Gan's defeated army through the imprint left by Shenji Camp.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought for a while, Xue Tong was defeated and led the remnant army to flee all the way.

Xu Kun's target was Liu Gan, so he didn't send troops to pursue him. After Xu Kun defeated Xue Tong, he swept the mountains all the way and followed Liu Gan's defeated army closely.

After Xue Tong's defeat, there were only about a thousand soldiers left in the Shendao Battalion under his command. After several twists and turns, he finally found Liu Gan and joined forces to plead guilty.

"Xue Tong disobeyed the lord's order to avenge his personal revenge, so he came here to plead guilty!"

Xue Tong knelt down in front of Liu Gan, his forehead hit the ground heavily, and there was something wrapped in black cloth in his hand that was particularly conspicuous.

Liu Gan looked down at Xue Tong at his feet from a high position, stretched out his feet, and the things in the black cloth rolled out immediately.

I saw a blood-stained head protruding out of nowhere, and looked carefully at the facial features of that head, who else could it be except Ruo Rong!

"Xiaotong, how do you feel about getting revenge?"

Liu Gan's indifferent tone shrouded Xue Tong like a bone-piercing ice. Xue Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, clearly felt an invisible pressure. He didn't dare to look up at Liu Gan. He didn't know what he was about to face. What is the punishment? He has never seen Liu Gan get angry before, but this does not mean that Liu Gan has no temper.

"The hatred of killing one's father is unshakable!" Xue Tong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"It's hard to live together, yes, Xiao Tong is a dutiful son, although Xue Li is only your adoptive father." Liu Gan sighed for a long time, his expression suddenly became melancholy, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "Xiao Tong, do you still remember?" The eighteen military regulations of our army?"

Hearing this, Xue Tong was shocked and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Tell me, what is the second military rule of our army?" Liu Gan asked.

"If you hear the drums, you can't go in, you can't hear the gold, you can't raise the flag, you can't hold the flag down. This is called disobedience to the army, and the offender will be killed." When Xue Tong finished reading this military regulation, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"Article [-]." Liu Gan said.

"The name should not be called, the time is not up, the time is not met, the law is changed, this is called slow army, and the offender will be killed." Xue Tong's body trembled slightly. Although the sun was just right in the sky, he felt that his whole body was full of blood got the chill.

"Xue Tong, you are guilty." Liu Gan changed his address and asked in a deep voice.

"Xue Tong is guilty, but please give me a chance to make amends, next time I will strictly observe military discipline!" Xue Tong finally raised his head and said to Liu Gan.

"Hehe... Next time, you want to have a next time." Liu Gan sneered, but when he laughed, tears flashed faintly in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Xue Tong violated military regulations by disobeying orders." , beheaded everywhere!"

"My lord!" Xue Tong lost his voice.

"My lord, Xue Tong is still young. It is inevitable to make some mistakes at his age. What's more, the reason why he disrespected orders was because he was eager to avenge his father. In any case, this starting point is not bad. Please forgive Xue Tong, my lord. Fate!" Zhu Huan advised immediately.

"Yes, my lord, although Xue Tong was at fault, but after he killed Ruo Rong, he desperately came to help. Although he had done something, he also had merit. Why don't you spare his life!" Xu Sheng also begged after him, It can be seen that Xue Tong's interpersonal relationship among the generals is quite good.

As soon as Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng interceded, more and more people began to intercede for Xue Tong. Seeing this momentum, Xue Tong's eyebrows suddenly changed from worry to joy.

After Liu Gan listened to everyone's remarks calmly, he took a deep breath, glanced at the generals, and said coldly: "Let me ask you, how many soldiers and horses were there in the Shendao Battalion at the beginning of the war? How many soldiers and horses are left in the knife camp?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xue Tong couldn't help being ashamed, and bowed his head again without saying a word.

"I ordered you to be the vanguard to stop Qu'a's soldiers. It's good for you, just give me a retreat without a fight. Do you know how many soldiers of the Shenji Battalion you killed by this retreat? Let's not say that you are sorry for me , are you worthy of those dead soldiers of Shenji Battalion? Feel your conscience and tell me, are you worthy of the two generals Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng who handed over their backs to you?" Liu Gan spoke coldly but loudly.

Xue Tong didn't say a word, tears flowed out of his eyes slowly at some point.

"Where were you when Xu Kun launched the three-way army to encircle our army? You went after Ruo Rong, and you went to take revenge! You put our army's life and death at risk for revenge. Do you know how many brothers we died in this battle?" Liu Gansong Gritting his teeth, the more he spoke, the more angry he became.

"Xue is notified of the crime, but it is up to the lord to deal with it." Xue Tong said with a sob.

"Xiao Tong, you really disappointed me." Liu Gan looked at Xue Tong with hatred, turned around and flicked his long sleeves, and said coldly: "Drag it, cut it off!"

This time, no one pleaded for Xue Tong again.

Xue Tong knelt on the ground, bowed heavily to Liu Gan three times, and lost his voice: "Xue Tong can't go through fire and water for the lord in this life, and hope to die for the lord in the next life!"

Hearing this, Liu Gan trembled slightly, but he didn't turn around, and kept his hands behind his back to Xue Tong.

After a long time, Zhou Yu's voice came: "Wu Shuang..."

Liu Gan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind."

Zhou Yu sighed softly: "I just want to say that Xue Tong is dead."

Liu Gan couldn't bear it any longer and sat down on the ground, tears streaming down his face, silent.

Although there were many generals on the side, none of them dared to speak up, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

After an unknown period of time, Liu Gan stood up again, summoned the generals, and said coldly: "Where is Xu Kun's army?"

Zhu Huan replied: "Report to my lord, according to the scout's report, Xu Kun's army is still closely behind our army."

Liu Gan asked, "Do you know where Zhou Tai's Shenfeng camp is?"

Zhu Huan said: "Shenfeng Battalion is only five miles away from our army, and we will arrive in a few days."

Liu Gan let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "Pass down my military order, the army will form an army on the spot near the mountains and rivers, and wait for Xu Kun's army to arrive, and attack and break it!"

"Here!"
