Chapter 2049: Questioning

Cen Pei's decision puzzled Diao Jun, but at this moment, he cared more about whether he could return home.

After eating the fish, the two came out of the cave and wanted to get on the road.

Just after walking a few steps, a war horse came towards them in the distance, and a team of cavalry quickly surrounded the two.

The leader jumped off the horse and came to them: "Deputy General Cen, Deputy General Diao, I found you!"

It turned out to be Chen Sheng who acted together last night. He brought a team of Qiguo cavalry and looked very tired.

"You..." Diao Jun, who thought he had a chance to escape, was almost in a state of panic.

"Our army has conquered Bashui County," Chen Sheng was quite excited, "General Zhechong ordered the search for Deputy General Cen and Deputy General Diao, and the surrounding areas of Bashui County have been searched! I just tried my luck to come here to see, but I didn't expect to find you! Hurry! Come back to the city with me."

Diao Jun was depressed, and the chance to escape that he had finally got was gone. If he had known not to eat fish, he might not have been stopped if he had left when he woke up.

Looking back at Cen Pei, he saw him shrugged and spread his hands at him expressionlessly, meaning that it had nothing to do with him.

No way, let's go!

Chen Sheng ordered the cavalry to give up two war horses and took Cen Pei and Diao Jun directly to Bashui County.

After entering the city, he rode into the prefect's mansion without stopping and met with General Yu Cheng.

"I, the humble general Cen Pei (Diao Jun), greet the general!!" Entering the hall, he knelt on one knee in front of many generals and bowed his head to salute.

"It's good to be back!" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly. He arranged for the army to go out and search early in the morning, especially near the cave where the two were hiding, where the most arrangements were made, not giving the other party any chance to escape, "Cen Pei!"

"I am here!" Hearing the general calling his name, Cen Pei quickly raised his head and responded loudly.

"Do you know your crime?" Jia Zhengjin had a cold face and showed the majesty of the general.

"I don't know!" Cen Pei was confused when he thought the general was going to reward him, but was suddenly questioned.

"Last night, I ordered you to lead the troops to support us. Why did you disobey the military order and rashly attack the city? You and Diao Jun led 1,000 cavalrymen, but now not a single cavalryman has returned and the whole army has been wiped out! You are so audacious!"

With a "bang",

Jia Zhengjin slammed the table and stood up, frightening all the generals in the hall.

Cen Pei was also startled, lowered his head and dared not speak, without the momentum of a fierce general on the battlefield.

"Disobeying military orders and annihilating the whole army, what crime should be committed?!"

The scene was silent.

"General, the crime should be executed!" A deputy general standing by stood up and said loudly.

Cen Pei's body softened, and the whole person collapsed on the ground, looking up at General Zhechong in disbelief.

Diao Jun was also dumbfounded. Didn't he say that he had made great contributions last night and would definitely be rewarded when he came back? Why was he convicted suddenly, and was sentenced to death...

He glanced at Cen Pei and felt that it was a bit unfair, so he turned to the general: "General Yu, there is a saying that goes 'When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the king'! Deputy General Cen just judged the situation and made a decision according to the situation at that time, otherwise he would not be able to break through the Bashui River..."

"Deputy General Diao, do you think you have nothing to do with it?" Jia Zhengjin looked at him coldly.

"Ah?" Diao Jun was confused. He wanted to plead for Cen Pei, so why was he dragged into it?

"You guys acted together last night and all disobeyed military orders!" Jia Zhengjin shouted, "Do you take this general seriously?"

Even Chen Sheng and Yang Ting were confused now. They hurriedly stepped out and knelt on the ground, trembling.

Jia Zhengjin walked down, turned in front of the four kneeling generals, stood still and stared at them. Until the four generals in front of him had completely blank minds and didn't know how to react, he slowed down his tone a little: "You four disobeyed military orders and took the initiative to defraud the city, causing heavy casualties in our army. You should be executed! However... you killed Sha Yihe, the governor of Bashui, and helped our army to successfully capture Bashui County. You have made an indelible contribution! I have submitted a letter and sent people to Danyang day and night to ask for credit. Your Majesty will reward those who have made contributions in this battle!"

Just now, my heart was hanging in my throat, thinking that I was dead. The next moment, the four heard this, and all showed an expression of surviving a disaster, and kowtowed hurriedly: "Thank you, general!"

It seems that the general just deliberately scared people, doing some tricks of both kindness and power.

After scaring them, Jia Zhengjin slowly walked back to the main general position and sat down: "Get in line first!"

"Yes, sir!" Cen Pei stretched out his hand to pull Jiao Jun, whose feet were shaking, to stand up and retreat back to the generals.

Yang Ting also stood up with Chen Sheng and retreated into the crowd.

Jia Zhengjin looked around, paused for a few seconds and continued: "This general never thought that the capture of Bashui County would be so smooth! Although you violated military orders, the result is good. Just don't act on your own next time unless it is absolutely necessary, understand?"

"Understood!!" Not only these four people, but other generals also shouted loudly.

"Well~" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "It's good to understand. This time when we captured Bashui County, our troops suffered heavy losses. The envoys sent out will ask His Majesty for troops, but it will take a long time to come. During this period, we need to hold on with the remaining troops and not too much military rations, which is quite troublesome!"

"General!" Cen Pei stood up after hearing this, "Yesterday's surprise attack on Bashui County, the enemy should not have had time to move the food in the city, how could it be insufficient?"

"Mr. Chen, you go and tell him!" Jia Zhengjin turned his head and looked to the other side.

"Yes!" Chen Sheng, who was called, quickly came out to salute, and then turned to Cen Pei, "Vice General Cen, yesterday you and Vice General Diao made a surprise attack out of the city, so we don't know what happened next. Our army entered the city, and the enemy general Zhuo Yan In panic, Morico was unable to organize his army, so he had to withdraw from the north gate. However, before withdrawing, the granary was burned down. We tried our best to put out the fire, but failed to save a single grain."

"How could this happen?" Cen Pei looked shocked.

"We only have a small amount of food that we carry with the army, which can barely last four or five days." Chen Sheng continued, "Although the general sent envoys to ask for help, Danyang was raising troops and food, and they were afraid that they would not be able to come. And although the enemy withdrew, We will definitely send troops to retake Bashui County as soon as possible! Once our army is surrounded, we will be trapped in the city without food and troops!"

"Then we can only abandon the city in advance and retreat?" Cen Pei frowned.

"In yesterday's battle, our army lost tens of thousands of soldiers. Now that we have finally occupied Bashui County, how can we withdraw?" Jia Zhengjin sighed, "How do you want me to face Your Majesty then?"

"this......"

"Now you know why the general reprimanded you?" Jia Zhengjin locked eyes with Cen Pei, "The decision you made in defiance of military orders is basically throwing the general on the fire of a dilemma!"

"The general will be convicted!" Cen Pei hurriedly knelt down.

Diao Jun, Chen Sheng, and Yang Ting also quickly knelt down.

"Okay, okay! What's the use of talking about this now?" Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, "Now our army can't retreat, and the enemy is bound to come back. For the current plan, we can only try to solve the problem of soldiers and military rations!"
