Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Five Burning the Pasture, Disposal by Military Law

Seeing Murong Fuyun hesitating and understanding what he was thinking, King Tianzhu advised: "Khan, You Xifang's words are reasonable. He needs to temporarily evacuate Fuqicheng to avoid the Tang army's edge. When the Tang army retreats in the future, Fuqicheng will still return to the hands of Dahan.

In the past, King Goujian of Yue, who was sleeping on firewood and tasting gall among the Han people, may as well give up the royal court for the time being, waiting to fight back against the Tang army in the future.

In the future, Tuyuhun is strong and I will definitely attack Chang'an by my army, forcing the Emperor of Tang to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Murong Fuyun sighed and said helplessly: "Okay! This great Khan obeyed the words of King Tianzhu and You Xifang, and temporarily evacuated Fuqi City to wait for the future counterattack of the Tang army!"

"Da Khan, Xiao Wang has a clever plan." King Tianzhu said, and a trace of cunning flashed across his eyes.

"Oh?" Murong Fuyun stared at Tianzhu King in question.

"When evacuating Fuqi City, all the grasslands around Fuqi City were burned down, all the weeds along the way were burned, leaving scorched earth for the Tang army, and starving the Tang army's war horses to death." King Tianzhu said in a cunning tone, "If the Tang army's war horses do not have grass, they will not be able to move, and they will not be able to catch up with us."

"This plan is very wonderful!" Murong Fuyun was delighted.

So Murong Fuyun led the kings and the tribal leaders under him to evacuate Fuqi City and fled westward in order to enter the Sand Rain.

Before leaving, all the weeds around will be burned tomorrow.

When Gao Zengsheng led his army to Fuqi City, he only saw a scorched earth left everywhere.

Li Zaigu once suggested that Li Jing send an army to the rear of Fuqi City to block Murong Fuyun's escape.

Li Jing thought about it again and again, and finally ordered Gao Zengsheng to lead the Yanze Road marching and marching to the rear of Fuqi City.

Li Jing considered that various marches had their own tasks, but the Yanze Dao march led by Gao Zengsheng, who had just defeated the Qiang tribe, had no other military affairs. Moreover, the Yanze Dao march had just defeated the Qiang tribe, and Murong Fuyun would definitely think that the Yanze Dao march would reorganize the Qiang tribe, and had no time to take care of other military affairs, and it was easy to ignore the Yanze Dao march.

Li Jing originally wanted to give Gao Zengsheng a chance to make meritorious service, but he never expected that Gao Zengsheng did not arrive at the pre-determined location as Li Zaigu and Li Jing's plan, which led to Tuyuhun Khan Murong Fuyun successfully escape from Fuqi City and burning the pastures.

Gao Zengsheng was originally dissatisfied with Li Zaigu and Li Jing. Before the troops could rest, they were ordered to circumnavigate to the rear of Fuqi City, and they were even more dissatisfied. Therefore, they did not march in a hurry according to Li Jing's order, but instead neglected their duties and delayed the military service.

When Li Jing led his army to Fushi City, he was so angry that he was so angry that he was glaring at him.

"Gao Zengsheng has repeatedly missed military information, and this time he must deal with it with military law!"

Li Jing scolded Gao Zengsheng, who was tied up and kneeled on the ground.

"The general manager, I know that I was wrong, but I didn't want to miss the military situation." Gao Zengsheng defended tremblingly, "After the soldiers defeated the Qiang people, they had to march quickly before they could rest. They were so tired that they couldn't walk halfway, and there was insufficient food and grass. I was really powerless."

"Don't make excuses for your incompetence!" Li Jing said coldly with a stern face, "The exhausted soldiers and horses and insufficient food are not an excuse for you to miss the military situation! Since this general manager ordered you to detour the military situation, he considered that even if the soldiers and horses were exhausted, it would be enough time to go around the back of Fuqi City in advance! You are clearly dereliction of duty and deliberately miss the military situation!"

"The last one..."

"Come here, take it out and kill it!" Li Jing's eyes shrank slightly, and a killing intention flashed across.

The other generals did not expect that Li Jing would really kill Gao Zengsheng, and his face changed.

Gao Zengsheng was frightened when he heard that Li Jing was about to kill him, his face turned pale, his body trembled twice, and he hurriedly shouted: "Big...Master General, the general was born and died for the Tang Dynasty. He was the emperor in the past, and even the emperor... even if he was the emperor, he would... be separated from the past. The general manager could not kill the general. Ruo...Master General knew that... would definitely blame the general for killing first and then reporting."

Li Jing became even more angry when he heard Gao Zengsheng bring the emperor to suppress him.

Speaking of being born and died for the Tang Dynasty, who is not there?

"As the chief executive, I must strictly manage the military. No matter who you are, you must violate the law and discipline, and you must deal with the military law. Never give up!" Li Jing glared at Gao Zengsheng and said angrily.

The generals such as Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Daliang, etc. considered that Murong Fuyun had not been captured yet, and there were still many big battles to fight next time, so it was not suitable to kill Gao Zengsheng at this time.

They all pleaded for Gao Zongsheng, hoping that Li Jing would spare Gao Zongsheng's life.

If Gao Zengsheng is beheaded, the generals of Yanzedao's marching may be dissatisfied.

Li Zaigu also considered these and pleaded for Gao Zengsheng: "The chief general, General Gao missed the military situation and should be dealt with according to military law, but General Gao missed the military situation. Moreover, the war between our army and Tuyuhun is still continuing, and the commander of the Yanzedao ​​march is still needed, so it is not suitable to kill the general.

If the soldiers of Tuyuhun Khan knew that our army had killed the general because of this, they would think that the chief executive took the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction.

Please note the head of General Gao’s neck for a while and let him make meritorious service. After the troops return to the court, they will be handed over to the emperor to deal with it!"

Several generals also spoke out with Li Zaigu, hoping that Li Jing would spare Gao Zeng's life for the time being.

Seeing many people pleading for Gao Zengsheng, Li Jing hesitated for a moment, glared at Gao Zengsheng, and said in a cold tone: "Gao Zengsheng, seeing that the generals are pleading for you, this supervisor will keep the head on your neck for the time being. If there is another time, I will never tolerate it!"

Gao Zengsheng repeatedly called for thanks.

Death crime can be avoided from being alive!

Although Li Jing spared Gao Zong's life, he ordered people to beat him ten military sticks.

After this incident, Gao Zengsheng hated Li Jing even more and was not grateful to Li Zaigu who begged for him, and he would repay his kindness with grudges in the future.

After Gao Zengsheng was taken out, Li Jing glanced at everyone: "Now Murong Fuyun fled from Fuqi City and burned the pastures. What do you think should you deal with it next?"

Li Daozong first said: "Murong Fuyun fled from Fuqi City, retreated westward, tried to enter the north of Ji, and burned the grassland along the road. He adopted a strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. If we rush our troops to pursue, it may be unfavorable. Now the war horses have no supply of forage, so they are prone to fatigue and thinness quickly, and it is difficult to pursue them in depth. It is better to withdraw first and wait until the grass grows before rushing to kill Murong Fuyun!"

As soon as Li Daozong said this, many generals agreed.

Li Jing frowned when he saw many generals agree with Li Daozong.

"Li Shangshu's words are not true!" Li Zaigu immediately refuted Li Daozong, "Tuyuhun only suffered a defeat and quickly fled, which shows that the Tuyuhun soldiers were unwilling to fight and their morale was low. It would be easy to take down Murong Fuyun and his kings. If we don't seize the opportunity, we will definitely regret it!"

"But the war horses have no grass and cannot be pursued in depth." Li Daozong insisted on his own opinion.
