Not long after, Tang Guojing appeared at the door with his trusted men.

Having just captured two cities, he finally won two battles in a year, which made him extremely proud. Under the gaze of all the soldiers, he swaggered into the hall with contempt and arrogance on his face, and reluctantly saluted Lu Xiuyuan with his fists clasped.

"Meet the marshal."

When Lu Xiuyuan saw him, he remembered the injustice his wife had suffered. He could not help but get angry. He slammed the table and shouted, "Tang Guojing, do you know your crime?!"

Tang Guojing was not afraid of him. He snorted coldly and said, "I have just captured Yanggu and Yuhua and made great contributions. The Marshal does not praise me for my achievements, but instead asks me about my crimes. What's the reason?"

Lu Xiuyuan was not polite either, he raised his finger and pointed at his nose, humiliating him mercilessly: "General, when you go to war, you first let a weak woman help you kill the enemy general, and then you shamelessly take advantage of it and conquer that group of scattered people without a leader.

"You are still proudly taking credit from me, Tang Guojing. You are a man of seven feet tall, but you have no shame!"

His words touched Tang Guojing's heart directly. His old face turned red with shame and his ears became hot.

This matter is indeed somewhat shameful.

Looking at the soldiers around him, it seemed that everyone had a look of contempt on their faces.

"I...I was..." Tang Guojing wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to start. After all, the other person was telling the truth.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't waste time talking to him and listed his evidence one by one, "First: When you learned that I and my 70,000 soldiers were trapped, you didn't rescue them in time, causing us to almost be wiped out.

"Second: You have gone back on your word time and again, deliberately making things difficult for my wife and torturing her to death.

“Third: You and my wife signed a military order in public, saying that you would borrow 80,000 soldiers after the good thing was done. In the end, you couldn’t afford to lose, so you secretly took the soldiers away in the middle of the night, leaving only 30,000 veterans and weak generals for my wife!

"Tang Guojing, ah Tang Guojing, I have never seen someone as shameless as you! You are a great general, over fifty years old, but you did such a dirty and shameful thing. Do you want to save your reputation?"

Lu Xiuyuan had been angry for a long time and finally had time to vent. He couldn't help but stand up from his seat and walked in front of Tang Guojing, pointing at his nose and cursing.

"People leave their names behind, geese leave their voices behind, trees leave their barks, people leave their dignity. You are a well-known figure, but now you are narrow-minded, taking revenge for personal gain, and trampling on your credibility in front of all the soldiers.

"How can you convince the three armies in the future? You have lost the dignity of the general who protects the country!"

Lu Xiuyuan became angrier and angrier as he spoke. In front of all the officers and soldiers, he criticized Tang Guojing as worthless. Every word he said was so powerful and filled with indignation that even spit flew out of his mouth.

My goodness, Xia Younan was stunned listening to this. Why didn't she realize before that her husband was so good at scolding people? He even scolded for such a long time without taking a breath.

As a general who protects the country, Tang Guojing has always been proud, dignified and respected. But now he was insulted in public by a young boy in his twenties.

He was scolded so much that he felt dizzy and ashamed. He wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He no longer had the arrogance he had just had.

The area around and outside the hall was filled with soldiers watching the fun. His face was really torn off by Lu Xiuyuan.

After cursing, Lu Xiuyuan let out a sigh of relief and didn't want to waste any more time talking to him, so he announced directly:

"Tang Guojing! I was trapped, but you led your troops but did not rescue me. For this reason alone, you deserve death! But I will spare your life because you have made some contributions in capturing two cities. You cannot escape death!"

"You...what do you want?" Tang Guojing looked at him with some annoyance.

He really didn't expect that Xia Younan, that woman, could lead those old and weak soldiers and actually defeat the enemy's 160,000 troops and successfully rescue Lu Xiuyuan from his predicament.

This time, he would definitely be punished.

And he had no way to refute it. After all, what he did was witnessed by all the soldiers of the three armies, and the military order was signed in their presence. It was indeed a little bit unkind of him to go back on his word.

Lu Xiuyuan ignored him and announced the order directly, "Tang Guojing is untrustworthy and petty-minded. He has lost the moral character of a general. From today on, he will be dismissed from his position as general, all military power will be taken away, and he will be fined 100 military sticks!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Tang Guojing never expected that he would do this. His eyes widened in shock. He raised his finger and pointed at Lu Xiuyuan, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Marshal, you can't do that!" Soon, one of Tang Guojing's confidants came in to plead for him, "Marshal, although the general was wrong, he has led troops for decades and has made great contributions to Lingjiang State.

"You have taken away his military power and dismissed him from his position as general. This is a bit too serious!"

"Marshal, please be magnanimous and forgive the general this time!"

Someone else came forward to ask for orders, and soon five or six soldiers were kneeling in the hall.

These people were all officers of varying ranks. They knelt on the ground, which made Lu Xiuyuan feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xia Younan approached Lu Xiuyuan and whispered something in his ear.

Then the two of them discussed in a low voice, and in the end it seemed that Xia Younan won. Lu Xiuyuan sighed and chose to compromise.

"Since you have pleaded for him, and my wife has agreed not to remove Tang Guojing from his position, I will be magnanimous and will not take away Tang Guojing's military power."

"Thank you, Marshal!" The soldiers who begged for mercy were overjoyed and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

At this moment in their hearts, they couldn't help but admire Lu Xiuyuan a little more.

Tang Guojing's failure to come to the rescue caused Lu Xiuyuan and his 70,000 troops to be nearly wiped out, and he also put his wife to death every time. Lu Xiuyuan was willing to forgive Tang Guojing for such an excessive behavior for their sake.

From this we can see that Lu Xiuyuan is truly a broad-minded person and is indeed a talented person!

Little did they know that this was exactly what Xia Younan wanted.

Lu Xiuyuan continued, "But Tang Guojing has committed several serious mistakes. If I don't punish him, I won't be able to maintain my military prestige."

After that, Lu Xiuyuan waved his hand and shouted, "Come here, pin Tang Guojing to the ground and beat him with 200 military sticks!"

"This..." Several close confidants still wanted to beg for mercy, but Lu Xiuyuan had already done them such a big favor, they were too embarrassed to speak again.

"Lu Xiuyuan, you..." Tang Guojing was so angry that he was gasping for breath. He raised his finger and pointed at Lu Xiuyuan, but it didn't work.

Soon, two soldiers came with two military sticks.

I saw that the military stick was more than two meters long and thicker than an adult's wrist. The stick was pitch black and emitted a cold glow.

Several soldiers worked together to press Tang Guojing to the ground, and two soldiers stood on both sides, raising their sticks to hit him.

"Slow down!" Lu Xiuyuan suddenly raised his hand and stopped the two executioners.

Afterwards, he turned his head to look at Zhu Lixiong Fei, who was standing behind Xia Younan and watching the show, and said to them, "Zhu Lixiong Fei, you two go and fight. Think about how he treated your boss, and don't hold back."

Zhu Li and Xiong Fei's eyes lit up when they heard this. They were loyal to Xia Younan, and they hated Tang Guojing when he bullied Xia Younan, but they didn't dare to do anything rash because of his status.

Now that Lu Xiuyuan asked them to fight, it was finally giving them a chance to avenge the boss.

"Okay!" The two men laughed until their mouths reached the back of their ears. They rubbed their palms together and walked towards Tang Guojing with a sly grin.

They have nothing else but strength!

This is also the reason why Lu Xiuyuan asked them to fight.
