Chapter 219 The Belated Army

No one doubted Shangguan Xiong's words, including the cavalry battalion soldiers behind him, they were also surprised.

They were already amazed at Shangguan Qiuyu's capture of Qiguan so easily.

Now, hearing what Shangguan Xiong said again, he was even more curious about Shangguan Qiuyu.

Shangguanxiong's words were not concealed at all, even Tie Ying, Ying Lao, and Han Qinghu who were far away on Qiguan City could hear them clearly.

Tie Ying and Ying Lao have been following Shangguan Qiuyu all the time, so they naturally know these things, except for the flooded barbarian army, they have all experienced it personally.

But Han Qinghu on the side didn't know. He always thought that he was a master of predicting things, and that it was his old boss, Zhen Guogong Shangguanxiong, who knew everything.

But now, his old boss, Shangguan Xiong, told everything in front of both the enemy and us, which made him stare wide-eyed at Shangguan Qiuyu in front of him.

Not only Han Qinghu, but others also did not expect that Shangguan Xiong would praise his grandson Shangguan Qiuyu in such a way before the battle between the two armies.

According to what they knew about Shangguan Xiong, he would definitely not be like this, and boasting in private was enough to surprise them.

What's more, they never thought about it in front of so many people like this.

Now, Shangguan Xiong said it so unabashedly, what happened today will definitely spread throughout Dayu in a very short time.

When the time comes, Shangguan Qiuyu's contribution will not be obliterated. No matter how you look at it, it seems that Shangguan Xiong wants to push his grandson to the top.

Otherwise, Shangguan Qiuyu would have to hone his skills in the army for the usual practice and formal principles of the Shangguan family, and then he would climb up the ranks step by step with his military achievements.

In fact, as Shangguan Qiuyu's grandfather, Shangguanxiong, he didn't want his grandson to climb too fast, causing his foundation to be unstable.

But the credit for destroying the Nanman army this time is too great, and these are indeed the credit of Shangguan Qiuyu.

Everyone could see it, as Shangguan Qiuyu's grandfather, it was not easy for him to deny his grandson's military achievements.

Although he can erase his grandson's credit with one sentence, if that's the case, wouldn't his grandson's hard work be in vain?
At the same time, he thought, if he really obliterated the credit of his grandson Shangguan Qiuyu, would it make the relationship between them not very familiar.

As a result, he misunderstood his grandfather, and when the two of them had a gap, the loss outweighed the gain.

Moreover, now he has left the local army and returned to the central government.

If Shangguan Qiuyu continued to hone in the place where he was sent down, he would not be able to teach his own grandson himself in Yucheng.

Moreover, he finally has a relative who can talk to him, if this makes the two of them separated, it will be difficult to see each other.

Wouldn't that be the same as not finding his own grandson, and still being able to stay alone in the cold Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Maybe Shangguanxiong didn't pay much attention to family affection in the past, but now that he is getting old, after more than ten years of loneliness, he values ​​and longs for the family affection that he didn't care about at first.

This may be the so-called, a person, only when a thing or a person is lost, can he know how to cherish it and understand the value of its existence.

"Dong dong dong..."

Not far away, there was a dull sound, and everyone looked up, only to see an army with the word Dayu on it standing fast towards Qiguan.

Among them, the word Shangguan is written on the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, implying that the chief general is Shangguanxiong, the Duke of Zhenguo, but there is no one under the flag of Shuai.

But it was reserved for Shangguan Xiong, who led an army of [-] iron riders on horseback.

Soon, among the mighty crowd, hundreds of gallops galloped out to Shang Guanxiong and the others.

"Ta Tata..."

"call"

I saw more than a dozen generals leading the guards to come in front of Shangguanxiong. Ten steps away from Shangguanxiong, they got off their horses and knelt down on one knee and said:

"The last general is waiting, see the commander-in-chief."

Seeing this, Shangguanxiong rode his horse forward, waved his whip, and said solemnly:
"It's an hour late."

"The last general will wait until he is convicted. After the war, I hope the marshal will punish him." All the generals knelt down on one knee and accepted the crime without any excuse.

Shangguan Xiong rode his horse around a dozen generals, and then said:

"It's because the commander didn't think carefully, let's let it go this time, if there is a military law to deal with it next time."

When he came, he forgot that the torrent of the Jishui River would inevitably pass through the only way for his own army from Tianyuan City.

In this way, it is justifiable for them to come late, and he is not an unreasonable person.

At the same time, he was also to blame for his lack of consideration, but he couldn't completely blame them.

But in the army, the orders issued by the generals, regardless of the right or wrong, regardless of the reason, as subordinates must resolutely implement the orders.

This is the army. Even if you encounter any difficulties in the process, it is your own business. Most of the army only ask for the result, not the process.

Today, if Shangguanxiong wasn't in a good mood and didn't want to pursue the matter, he even put part of the blame on himself, so as to avoid the punishment of all the generals, but the punishment of all the others was indispensable.

"Thank you Marshal"

After hearing Shangguan Xiong's words, the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't relax at all along the way.

Along the way, in order to ensure that the soldiers could go into battle immediately after arriving at the battlefield, they did not dare to let a group of soldiers march too fast.

In order to avoid that after arriving on the battlefield, your own army will be unable to kill the enemy due to exhaustion, causing unnecessary losses.

Originally, Shangguanxiong had notified them in advance, and if there were no accidents, they should be able to arrive at the city of Qiguan at the same time as Shangguanxiong.

It's just that Shangguan Xiong missed a step, that is, the flow path of the torrent of drawing water, which just happened to pass through the only way for the army of Tianyuan City.

In order to wait for the flood to recede, they only delayed for an hour, which made the generals ready to accept punishment when they were on the road.

After all, Lord Zhenguo Shangguanxiong has always been strict in running the army. Delaying the opportunity like them, the fault can be big or small.

Serious cases should be engaged in military law.For the light ones, it is inevitable to beat the board and demote the military rank.

It's just that they didn't expect that Shangguanxiong would lift it high and put it down gently.Let them go so easily, this is the result that none of the generals expected.

In fact, the reason why Shangguan Xiong held it up high and put it down gently has his own considerations.

When the army arrived just now, he saw that although the soldiers were in a hurry, they all had spare energy.

From this point of view, they can do it immediately, reaching the standard of fighting immediately on the battlefield.

It can be seen from this that a dozen of them, as chief officers, did not force the troops to march in a hurry because they were afraid of being subject to military law, which caused the entire army to be overtired.

In this way, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, how could he punish these generals who put the overall situation first.

What's more, the cavalry I brought with me came and went like the wind, so even if I lost on the battlefield, I wouldn't suffer too much loss.

In this way, after weighing it over and over again, he no longer has the intention to blame them.
