Competing

Chapter 371 Chapter Thirty Seventy
"My lord, we were wrong, please come down!"

In the newly erected tent, Zhou Da and Lu Ming knelt down in front of Yin Xu together with a plop.

The battle of Yandang Mountain came to an end for the time being. After Yin Xu took Luluo to see everyone, the guards and the remaining defenders cleaned up the battlefield and reorganized the defense.Rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds, sticking to the camp, and blocking Dongou meritorious deeds should be rewarded, but accountability and punishment are essential.

Yin Xu looked at the two of them and snorted coldly: "Wrong? Do you know where your mistakes are?"

Lu Mingdao: "Your Majesty, we shouldn't be so greedy for meritorious deeds that we accidentally lose sight of it and fall into Si Yao's scheme to feign surrender!"

"Eager for merit? You know it too? Didn't you see any of the flawed tricks of feigning surrender?"

Facing Yin Xu's cold questioning, Zhou Da said in a low voice: "My lord, we also want to pacify Dongou as soon as possible, end the war, and share your worries!"

Yin Xu smiled lightly: "Yes, I know that you really have this kind of heart, but you ask yourself? Ah? Why are you in a hurry?"

Both Zhou Da and Lu Ming were saddened by it, knowing that there must be a storm today, so they have already made full psychological preparations.A few excuses, or sophistry, were of no use.It can be seen that the king of Yue is furious, so the two reached a consensus tacitly, they both closed their mouths and listened to Yin Xu's scolding!

"The widow asked you to guard Yandang Mountain just to guard against Si Yao. If you do this well, it will be a great achievement, but you... Alas! You are wrong, but you haven't figured out where you are wrong at all!"

Yin Xu said angrily: "Your fault is that you shouldn't leave your post without permission. You have ignored the mission assigned to you by the widow. As a general, you should know that the military order is like a mountain, and obey orders! And Si Yao asked to surrender, why is such an important matter Do you want to make your own decisions? Why don't you inform the widow first, and then make a decision? Are you afraid that the widow will take your credit? Do you still have the widow, the King of Yue, in your eyes?"

This time, the Yue army suffered heavy losses in Yandang Mountain, which almost missed the future development plan of the Yue country, and put the green radish in a dangerous place, almost encountering an accident.Before Yin Xu came to rescue them in a hurry, he was all focused on Lu Luo's safety and how to treat the Eastern Ou Army, so he never thought about these things.Now after the incident, I can't help but feel very scared when I think about it again, and the anger in my heart also bursts out.

Both Zhou Da and Lu Ming couldn't help but shudder. Before, they thought it was relatively simple, thinking that it was just a mistake of greedy for success.But when Yin Xu said this, they really felt a little scared.Only now did they clearly realize that their behavior had deeply hurt the dignity and status of a king, and this was the truly terrible thing.

"Your Majesty, we were wrong. It was because of our stupid minds that we thought things too simply, so that we did such a foolish thing!" Seeing this, Zhou Da and Lu Ming immediately forgave.

Yin Xu looked at them coldly, and the anger in his heart also decreased a bit. If it were someone else, he might really be convicted like this.But Zhou Da and Lu Ming have followed him from the beginning, and they can still be trusted in terms of loyalty.This mistake was indeed due to their greed for success and ignorance of thinking. As for their ignorance of their own behavior, it may have been an unintentional mistake for them.

In fact, the courtiers lacked all these fancy things, why would they be unhappy as a ruler? It's just that Zhou Da and Lu Ming's military talents really made Yin Xu feel a little worried.Originally thought that they were not aggressive enough, and it was okay to be conservative generals.But now it seems that there are still some problems. I hope they can survive this time and learn a lot of wisdom!
Then I thought about the pressure on Yandang Mountain in the past few days. Zhou Da and Lu Ming also tried their best to resist and defend desperately.Although it is self-inflicted, but there is no credit, there is also hard work.

Yin Xu was silent for a moment, and then said: "For the sake of the camp not being lost and Lu Luo being safe and sound, I will forgive you this time. I hope you will survive and gain wisdom, so that you will never make such a mistake again."

Zhou Da and Lu Ming were overjoyed immediately, as long as King Yue could forgive, then it would be easy to say anything.Just as he was about to thank you, he heard Yin Xu say again: "However, because of your mistakes, thousands of soldiers lost their lives for this. You cannot absolve yourself of the blame for this matter, and you must give the soldiers an explanation. How about this... you two will each be given fifty army sticks, temporarily dismissed from the military, as a warning to others!"

"Yes, the ministers are willing to accept the punishment!" Zhou Da and Lu Ming secretly rejoiced.Fifty army sticks are not important, and the dismissal is only temporary, mainly for the sake of putting on a show and gagging other people's mouths.It seems that the king of Yue is still merciful, and finally forgives himself.They didn't know that Yue Wang Yinxu had already started to have other calculations in his heart, had new considerations about the abilities of the two of them, and had new thoughts about their future appointments.

The matter of pursuing responsibility is over like this, and the next thing to do is how to clean up the mess, after all, Yandang Mountain is dilapidated.Although the Eastern Ou army retreated, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, in case they went back and returned.Although the Guards were brave, their numbers were limited after all. The limited and exaggerated results before had a lot to do with the sudden attack on the enemy.If the Eastern Ou Army had taken precautions, it might not have the previous effect.

It is estimated that Su An's army will arrive in two days, how to deal with the situation in front of him and handle it properly has become a difficult problem!
"Get up!"

Zhou Da and Lu Ming stood up from the ground as if they had been pardoned, their backs were already covered in cold sweat.Although Yin Xu didn't punish them severely, they also really felt the majesty of Yin Xu's king. The mistake they made this time was not small, and they must be careful in the future.

"How many troops are left in Yandang Mountain?" Yin Xu glanced at the two of them angrily, and asked in a deep voice.

Lu Ming hurriedly replied: "This is the main camp. There were originally 5000 garrisons, plus the wife's 290 guards, a total of 5000 people, and now there are only 300 people..." Speaking of this, Lu Ming was ashamed, Out of [-] people, there are less than [-] people left, so I have the nerve to continue talking.

Zhou Da hastily added: "There are four camps around, with [-] troops stationed there, because they are worried that the Dongou army will break through one by one when they come to the rescue, and let the other party take advantage of it, so they were not allowed to come to the rescue, and they were ordered to stick to the camp The main attack of the Eastern Ou army is here, so it has not suffered any damage..."

"Okay, 5000 people will be returned to the widow and how many are left!" Yin Xu said lightly, which immediately made Zhou Da and Lu Ming tremble with fear.

Yin Xu's face improved a little, and he continued: "Fortunately, he is still sensible, knowing that the enemy will not be defeated one by one, and 8000 people are reserved for the widow!"

Zhou Da and Lu Ming's foreheads were covered with cold sweat, and they were a little relieved when they heard what King Yue said.In fact, the general's five thousand casualties were indeed not small, but Yin Xu was not particularly angry.After all, casualties on the battlefield are unavoidable. The Vietnamese army lost 2000 people. Except for the nearly [-] people who were killed and injured by the false surrender attack at the beginning, the other soldiers died well.

The Vietnamese army relied on the camp to hold on, and the casualties were so serious, it can be imagined that the casualties of the attacking Dongou army would not be small.For the time being, it can be regarded as a tough battle with Dongou, and it can also play a role in shocking and deterring.It is understandable that Dongou's strength was consumed to a certain extent and the defense line of Yandang Mountain was held fast.

At the same time, it can be roughly speculated that the casualties of Dongou this time will not be small. Yin Xu thinks that it will only be more or less for his own side.If this is the case, it is possible to fight against the remnants of Yandang Mountain.

Yin Xu ordered: "Repair the camp immediately, and take advantage of the new defeat of the Dongou army at night, and immediately transfer the troops from other camps. Si Yao has attacked us for so long and killed so many of our soldiers. It is time to settle accounts with him."

Previously, because the matter of Zhao Tuo in South Vietnam was not clear, he was not able to go north in time, which gave Si Yao an opportunity to cause such a big disturbance.The tragedy of Yandang Mountain greatly angered Yin Xu, especially because Lu Luo was here. He had already learned from the Dongou General that Si Yao kept saying that he wanted to catch Lu Luo.

The dragon has rebellious scales, and Si Yao's behavior has deeply angered King Yue, so naturally this matter cannot be stopped because of this.It is bound to make Si Yao pay some price, Dongou's mange itch should also be understood.A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Yin Xu's mouth, Si Yao...just wait and see how I deal with you...

Standing at the bottom, Zhou Da and Lu Ming could truly feel the power and anger emanating from King Yue.Si Yao must have suffered this, and waited for the king to avenge her, the corners of the two of them revealed a smug smile.

……

The Eastern Ou Army withdrew from Kuaiji Mountain in disgrace, and ran forty miles away before setting up camp at a distance of forty miles from Kuaiji Mountain.However, the morale and mood were very different from when they came here. There were all kinds of wailing and sobbing in the camp, and sighs and sighs came and went one after another.They were really a little afraid of being killed by the cavalry of the Yue Kingdom. They finally got a chance to breathe, and they all fell to the ground and breathed in the breath of survival and freedom.

Seeing such a situation, as the leader, Si Yao felt uncomfortable.Originally full of confidence, he went northward to conquer with high spirits, and dreamed of regaining the old homeland of Yue, and truly dominating one side.I didn't expect that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and it fell into this field. The failure was a bit too fast.

It wasn't until this moment that Si Yao really realized that he had slightly underestimated Yin Xu.In today's battle, he finally saw how powerful Yin Xu is.Now he is completely relieved that Minyue's defeat was completely justified, not just because of Wuzhu's mistakes.

Wu Zhu chose to surrender to Yin Xu, so what about himself?Si Yao sighed softly, perhaps he should have followed his younger brother's suggestion from the very beginning, but... thinking of his self-willed and unnatural way, Si Yao could only sigh...
