"Since you brothers are united, I will help you as a teacher."
Yang Ling nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved.
Even if the executioners were merciful, Jiang Wei would probably peel off his skin even if a hundred army sticks were used.
It is also a good thing that Deng Ai and Guan Qiujian took the initiative to stand up and share the burden for Jiang Wei.
It also proves the deep friendship between their brothers.
As Yang Ling's order was passed on, within a short time, all the soldiers gathered in the center of the camp.
“General Fenwei (Jiang Wei’s official position) underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, resulting in the loss of many brothers, while two generals Jianwei and Zhenwei (Deng Ai and Guanqiu Jian’s official position) accompanied him and failed to dissuade him. "
"In order to punish them, the King of Qi ordered each of them to be punished with thirty thirty sticks and to be executed in public to serve as a warning to others."
As the messenger finished reading, the three brothers Deng Ai took the initiative to come forward and lay down on the bench.
"Three generals, offended!"
The soldier in charge of the execution whispered, then raised the long stick in his hand and dropped it heavily!
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
There was silence in the entire military camp, only the dull sound of the staff echoing around.
Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others on the side, although they couldn't bear it, did not step forward.
Because they knew that Yang Ling was using this to establish his authority and warn all the soldiers.
After all, for so many years, the Wei army had been victorious in every attack, and pride arose in the army.
It didn't take long for the thirty soldiers to finish their march.
Yang Ling slowly stood up, walked to Deng Ai and the others, and said in a deep voice,
"Have you three learned your lesson?"
The three of them endured the pain, knelt down in front of Yang Ling, and said respectfully,
"Teacher, we will definitely not make the same mistake again!"
"very good!"
Yang Ling nodded and scolded,
"It's not that you can't accept defeat as a teacher, but you can't accept such a humiliating defeat!"
"We, the Wei army, are the masters of hundreds of battles. It is a shame to overturn at the hands of a small country like Goguryeo!"
"Teacher, please rest assured, we will definitely wash away this shame!"
Jiang Wei gritted his teeth and said.
Yang Ling said nothing more, looked up at the soldiers present, and said loudly,
"If we make similar mistakes again, this will be the fate of the three of them. Do you remember this?"
Deng Ai and the other three were Yang Ling's disciples, and they were still punished if they made mistakes.
Seeing this situation, everyone's hearts trembled and they said in unison,
"We will remember King Qi's instructions!"
Yang Ling showed a satisfied smile and was about to order the disbandment.
But I saw several war horses running wildly in from outside the camp.
After arriving in front of Yang Ling, the riders on horseback jumped off and saluted him.
"I've met King Qi!"
"Goguryeo just sent a few envoys, dropped a few baggage, and left in a hurry!"
"We didn't dare to be careless, so we hurriedly sent this baggage over."
Looking at the bundles dripping with blood in their hands, Yang Ling's face became solemn.
"Open it!"
Several riders did not dare to neglect and quickly unpacked their bags.
As the bundle was untied, the bloody heads were exposed.
Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others on the side were instantly in an uproar.
Because they all recognized that these were the elite cavalry who followed Jiang Wei to search for the Goguryeo people!
"The bastard Goguryeo!"
Jiang Wei suddenly became furious and almost broke his teeth.
"The Goguryeo people are provoking us, the Wei Dynasty, by sending these heads!"
Gan Ning looked at Yang Ling, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
"We can't remain indifferent!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Yang Ling.
"You don't need to tell me, I will know it naturally."
Yang Ling took a deep breath, pointed at these heads, and said to all the soldiers,
"You see, these are your brothers, your robes!"
"However, they fell into the hands of the Goguryeo people and suffered inhumane torture."
"Their heads were chopped off by the Goguryeo people and sent back to our army to humiliate us."
"Tell me, what should we do?"
The first one to respond was Deng Ai.
He raised his weapon and shouted sternly,
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
In anger, he no longer stuttered when he spoke.
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
"Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
All the officers and soldiers of the Wei army also let out an earth-shattering roar.
The sound soared into the sky, and the color of the world seemed to change!
"Zilong, Xingba!"
"The general is here!"
"Reorganize your troops and horses immediately and prepare to attack the Goguryeo people."
Yang Ling ordered coldly,
"Gu's request is very simple. As long as you surrender, you can avoid death."
"But if they refuse to surrender, they will be killed without mercy."
"After the city is broken, if you don't seal the sword, you will massacre the city for three days!"
"Besides that, anyone involved in harming our soldiers will be executed!"
Everyone has known Yang Ling for so long and knows very well that Yang Ling rarely orders a city massacre.
In the early years, he even warned Cao Cao not to let Cao Cao massacre the city.
It can be seen that Yang Ling is angry!
Even Zhao Yun, who had always been gentle and kind, did not persuade him, but respectfully accepted the order from Gan Ning.
Just as Yang Ling was about to turn around and leave, Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Guanqiu Jian hurriedly stopped him.
"These soldiers were killed by the Goguryeo people, and we have something to do with it."
"Please allow me, teacher, to avenge them!"
Jiang Wei said sincerely.
"Can you still fight?"
Yang Ling looked them up and down.
"Absolutely no problem!"
Guanqiu Jian responded immediately.
If it were someone else who received thirty military sticks, he would have to rest for at least ten days and a half.
But the three of them were young and strong, and the soldiers who executed them also deliberately let loose.
Therefore, they only have some flesh wounds, which do not affect their ability to kill the enemy.
"In this case, I will allow you to make meritorious deeds."
Yang Ling nodded and looked at Zhao Yun and Gan Ning aside.
"The three of them will be under your command. If anything goes wrong again, military law will be engaged!"
…
the other side.
The palace has no idea that he has broken the sky.
After killing the prisoners of the Wei army, he led the Goguryeo army and retreated to Heshenggu City.
Heshenggu City is not far from Wandu City, the capital of Goguryeo, but it is quite far from the border.
The palace's plan is to wait for work in leisure, and while waiting for the arrival of the Wei army, it will lengthen the supply line of the Wei army.
He secretly sent several groups of cavalry to harass the Wei army's rear.
However, while he was enjoying the performance of the palace maids, he saw the rich man running in in a panic.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"What happened?"
Wei Gong was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked.
"I just received news that the Wei army's forwards are rushing here!"
"ah?"
The palace was surprised.
He originally thought that the Wei army would take a rest after being frustrated.
But I didn't expect it to come so quickly!
Wei Gong came back to his senses and smiled disdainfully,
"Come here as soon as you come. I am afraid that they will withdraw like this!"
