Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 597
"Just, just let them retreat like this? It really makes people feel unwilling." Seeing Guan Yu's army retreating swaggeringly, King Mulu was very annoyed, but seeing the dejected looks of the beast soldiers under his command, he was also very annoyed. have no choice.

Although he is the chief general in the army, the generals under his command are all the leaders of small tribes, and the sergeants are all members of their small tribes. Every time they lose one, their tribe will lose a point of strength, especially Under the current situation, they knew that not only would they not get any benefits if they continued to fight, but they might lose their lives, so no one stood up to stop Guan Yu's army from retreating.

"This battle ends here for the time being. No matter what, Guan Yu led the army to retreat, which shows the deterrent power of our army. If the opponent flees without fighting, the morale will inevitably be frustrated. This can be considered as a severe blow to the enemy's spirit and a heavy blow to their arrogance. flames."

King Mulu could only console himself in this way, and then wrote this in his victory report to Meng Huo: "In today's battle, our army fought hard against Guan Yu's army. The thieves suffered heavy losses under the attack of our army, their morale was seriously frustrated, and their morale was shaken. In the end, they retreated in panic. This battle greatly boosted the morale of our army and dampened the arrogance of the Han army. It will surely shine in history in the future."

When the news of the victory reached Meng Huo, Meng Huo was extremely happy, and laughed loudly: "I knew our army would win this battle, haha, Guan Yu, who only showed his blood and courage, came in a mighty way, and retreated in embarrassment. It's very satisfying. Presumably after this battle, the Han army's morale has been shaken, and it will be two or three months later if they want to attack our army again. Pass my order, and King Mulu will be rewarded for his meritorious service in retreating the enemy. , to reward him with ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand pieces of Shu brocade, and one hundred thousand pieces of silk."

Anyway, the inventory in the warehouse was brought by Liu Chan from Chengdu. Meng Huo didn't feel bad at all, and took it out of the warehouse and gave it to King Mulu last time to encourage King Mulu to continue to fight against the enemy.

But at this time, Guan Yu had a dejected look on his face. He led his army to the foot of the mountain in dejection, set up camp, and waited quietly for the arrival of Liu and his army.

The next day, Liu He led the army to arrive. Seeing Guan Yu's camp lined up with strict guards, he immediately praised him and said with a smile: "General Guan is able to obey my arrangement this time and not launch an attack without authorization. Such a move is really impressive. Glad.”

However, Guan Yu's face turned red, and he bowed to Liu He with a face of shame and said: "So that the king can know that the truth of this battle is not what the king imagined, and the general did not listen to the king at the beginning. However, he led his troops to fight without authorization. As a result, he was defeated by King Mulu at Paomaping on the mountainside. The morale of our army has been frustrated, this is not a small crime, please punish your majesty, no matter what the punishment is, the general will have no complaints."

"Huh?" After hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu He's expression darkened, and he asked, "What's going on? Yu Zhongxiang, tell me."

"No!" Yu Fan looked at Guan Yu, and then sighed softly: "As General Guan said, General Guan was eager to win this battle, he did not obey the Lord's law, and led the army to attack without authorization, and was frustrated in Paomaping. At the critical moment, General Guan led his soldiers to retreat calmly, and he himself was in the rear. Our army only lost more than ten people and injured less than a hundred. This can be regarded as a miracle in military history. However, it is not considered useless, and I ask the Lord to consider how to deal with it."

"Oh? So that's the case, but the loss of more than ten people was avoidable for us. Because of your wrong decision-making, our army lost more than ten outstanding soldiers in vain. These are all young lives. , They were supposed to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds on another battlefield, seeking wealth and honor. Maybe in the future they will also be honored as marquis and worship generals because of their deeds, but now they can only become a cold corpse, what? They are all gone, General Guan, tell me, what face do you have to meet their families in the future?"

"Alas, all this is the fault of the last general." Hearing Liu He's words, Guan Yu couldn't help but sighed deeply. He was a general who loved his soldiers like a son, and he was full of deep feelings for the deaths of these soldiers. The self-blame, the expression on the face is very ashamed, and there is a trace of pain.

At this moment, Liu He snorted, and said loudly to everyone: "It is important to know that soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and fighting is sometimes a last resort. The purpose of our fighting is not only to make meritorious deeds, but also for The safety of the country, the prosperity of the people, and every battle is the result of the desperate efforts of many soldiers. It is said that a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. This sentence is actually wrong. Good generals are precious, but If there are no sergeants, how can we win every game by relying on good generals alone? Therefore, we must also pay attention to the safety of the sergeants, and we must not give up any soldier easily at any time. The first thing in combat is to protect ourselves. Please Keep this in mind, everyone."

When everyone around heard this sentence, they all looked solemn and respectfully agreed. Guan Yu broke out in a cold sweat. How vast, an ordinary sergeant can be so valued, so it is estimated that the soldiers will serve him even more wholeheartedly in the future.

Then Liu He announced loudly: "There is a general, Guan Yu, who refused to listen to my plan and led the army to attack without authorization, causing our army to suffer a lot of losses. More than ten soldiers were killed in battle. It is really sad. Severe punishments, but when encountering defeat, Guan Yu was able to calmly deal with it. He personally led the army to the rear and allowed our army to retreat safely with extremely small losses. This is really commendable and should have been rewarded. On the contrary, no punishment will be given, and no rewards will be given. I hope that everyone will take this as a lesson, respect life, love soldiers like children, and never do such things that do not obey the schedule, otherwise, they will be severely punished!"

"Oh, thank you for being so generous, Your Majesty. Even if the last general is broken into pieces, it will be difficult for him to repay his kindness. Everything in the past was caused by the late general's being too arrogant and self-willed. Nothing like this will happen again, if the general dares to disobey the king's military order again, he will wipe his neck directly without asking the king to do anything, and give this head to the king."

Guan Yu saluted Liu He respectfully and said with a serious face.

Liu He quickly helped Guan Yu up, and said with a look of relief: "Okay, people are not sages, who can do nothing, and can correct their mistakes. There is nothing good about it. General Guan will correct his mistakes if he knows his mistakes. I believe that soon, there will be people under my command. For a famous general through the ages, this is not only the luck of Xiao Wang? It is also the luck of the whole world."
