The generals lowered their heads again, with different expressions on their faces, as if they were relieved of their helplessness and annoyance.
Liu Zhang did not relent, nor did he stop reprimanding because of this situation.
"Didn't you receive Gu's military order?"
"To tell you the truth, I was furious when I heard that Pang Tong and Wei Yan were injured!"
"But the ministers all advised me to calm down, and Military Advisor Jia even told me that the Lord cannot raise an army in anger!"
"It was then that I realized that I was no longer the little prefect of Hanzhong back then!"
"If you lose your mind alone, it will trigger a sudden change that will change the world!"
Huang Zhong immediately trembled when he heard this, and then fell to one knee on the ground, regardless of the inconvenience of having his armor around him.
"As the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, I have violated Duke Qin's trust. Please punish Duke Qin!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, very satisfied with Huang Zhong's gesture.
As the first person in the Eastern Army, this responsibility is a must.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liao also fell to his knees.
"I have failed Duke Qin's high expectations. Please punish Duke Qin as well!"
Immediately, Zhang Ren, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Huang Quan and others fell to their knees.
"Please punish Duke Qin!"
Apart from Liu Zhang, Gan Ning was the only one left standing there.
Seeing this scene, Gan Ning looked around, with obvious struggle on his face.
Kneeling would mean acquiescing to this humiliation, and not kneeling would appear to be a lack of military discipline.
Just relying on this, Gan Ning had to be spanked!
Gan Ning was completely in a dilemma. It was neither right to kneel nor not to kneel.
"You all get up."
Liu Zhang first pardoned the generals, and then looked at the troubled Gan Ning.
He didn't mean to blame Gan Ning, but he just became more curious.
It is true that Gan Ning carries a gangster spirit, but after all, he comes from a wealthy family and has learned a lot of knowledge. I have never been so rude since I surrendered.
"Xingba, tell me, what is the reason why you, a navy commander, become like this?"
"Mr. Qin, the big-eared thief and Zhuge villagers have gone too far!"
Gan Ning suddenly shouted loudly, and the tangle on his face was wiped away, replaced by anger.
"If it was just an ambush, they actually blocked the road with trees in the middle of the road and carved words on it!"
Liu Zhang immediately thought of Pang Juan and Sun Bin, and his face became gloomy.
"What is it engraved on?"
Gan Ning opened his mouth, then looked aside.
"General Mengda, tell Duke Qin yourself!"
Meng Da nodded and immediately walked to Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Qin, this Zhuge villager is really not a man to beat!"
"Commander Pang is from the same family as him, and Duke Pang De thinks highly of Zhuge Liang, so he humiliates Duke Pang's nephew like this!"
"What kind of words did Zhuge Liang leave behind!"
Liu Zhang quickly asked, how could he care to listen to Meng Da's complaints here?
"The last general heard that General Wei said that Feng Chu died here, Zhuge Kongming!"
"I heard that Military Advisor Pang vomited blood on the spot and almost died of anger!"
Now Liu Zhang finally understood why everyone was so angry, and why they all became so passive after hearing the order prohibiting the attack.
What a disgrace, a disgrace!
Pang Tong was the military advisor of the Eastern Army and naturally represented the entire Eastern Army.
Gan Ning was a knight-errant and was extremely sexually explosive, so he naturally felt grievances for Pang Tong.
Zhuge Liang's behavior was undoubtedly a complete slap in the face to the Eastern Army generals and more than 100,000 soldiers!
Not to mention the generals of the Eastern Army, Liu Zhang was filled with anger after hearing this.
Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, why do you have to be so decisive?
If it was just an ambush, you could shoot Pang Tong to death and no one would say anything.
In the end, it will only be spread that you, Zhuge Liang, are superior in skills and have already calculated Pang Tong's sneak attack!
But you have chosen to humiliate Pang Tong, the Eastern Army, and yourself as Duke of Qin. How can I spare you?
"Let's go first to see Military Advisor Pang and General Wei. Han Sheng, you lead the way."
"The rest of the generals... quickly go and rectify the army and horses!"
Gan Ning and others were stunned for a moment, then immediately showed expressions of ecstasy.
"I will obey Duke Qin's orders!"
After the generals left, Huang Zhong showed a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Mr. Qin, this can indeed boost morale, but if we don't send troops, I'm afraid the damage will be even greater..."
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
Liu Zhang's order indeed raised everyone's morale to the top.
But after decline and depletion, the impact will be far greater than now.
Liu Zhang smiled, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Han Sheng, do you think I'm here just for a visit?"
Huang Zhong looked horrified, feeling happy at first, and then a little worried.
"Mr. Qin, please forgive me for speaking frankly."
"Although the soldiers of the Eastern Army have been recruited, they have not been trained for a long time, so their combat power is naturally only..."
Huang Zhong didn't say it explicitly, but Liu Zhang knew it.
It’s nothing more than a mob!
Liu Zhang also understood this very well. After all, it only took such a short time from establishment to establishment.
But it doesn't matter. For Liu Zhang, a small number of elite soldiers is enough.
"Han Sheng, how many veterans are there in each battalion?"
Huang Zhong just thought for a moment before blurting out.
"It's only over 50,000 at most..."
The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth gradually rose, revealing a sinister smile.
"enough!"
"Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang has been too arrogant recently. He thinks that everyone in the world can't do anything to take over the five counties of Jingzhou!"
Liu Zhang was actually responsible for Pang Tong's defeat.
Due to basic national policy, Pang Tong did not dare to mobilize troops on a large scale, so Zhuge Liang was able to calculate that he could only attack by surprise.
If Pang Tong was allowed to fully mobilize the strength of the Eastern Army, how could he be bullied like this?
"I took Dian Wei and five thousand elites with me, plus the elites of the Eastern Army, there are a total of 60,000 people!"
"This time, Gu Pian is going to teach the big-eared thief a lesson and let him know what it means to have reverse scales on a dragon. If you touch it, you will die!"
At this moment, Huang Zhong realized how big the gap was between himself, the commander of the Eastern Army, and Liu Zhang!
One sentence instantly mobilized everyone's fighting spirit.
Now even the commander-in-chief himself is very high-spirited and wants to fight Liu Beijun immediately.
"Duke Qin, please order me to follow Duke Qin into battle!"
Liu Zhang naturally would not refuse and immediately agreed.
"Han Sheng, you are the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, so naturally you have to command the soldiers in battle!"
"This time I will be your military advisor!"
Liu Zhang did not bring any wise men with him, so he was already prepared.
After nearly twenty years of fighting, Liu Zhang was confident that he would not lose to anyone.
Not to mention Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang was trapped in Yuzhang County and could not come back.
Even if Zhuge Liang comes in person, Liu Zhang is not afraid of him.
What's more, the current commanders of Nanjun are Xu Shu and Zhang Fei, who are still under attack in many places.
Against these two men, Liu Zhang was even more confident.
There are different opinions on Xu Shu's evaluation in history, and they are also mixed in praise and criticism.
This time Liu Zhang will bear witness to history and see what Xu Shu’s true abilities are!
