Chapter 1510
"You deserve to die? Yes! You do deserve to die. Just because your lack of planning and impulse caused the deaths and injuries of more than 20000 people in our forward force and the loss of more than 6000 horses, even if you die a thousand times in front of these losses, you can't make up for your sin!" long Tianci said coldly after hearing Du Xing's answer!
"Please give me a death! I'm willing to make atonement with my death!" Du Xing was speechless when he heard the words given by the Dragon God. He even wanted to find a ground to drill in. What face did he have to live in the face of the full camp generals? You might as well die!
However, to Du Xing's surprise, long Tianci suddenly eased his tone and said, "Du Xing, do you know why I appointed you as the leader of the vanguard army?"
"..." Du Xing didn't answer. It's not that he didn't know, but that he was too clear. Long Tianci personally talked to him before appointing him as the general of the vanguard army, and he also boasted that he would die in order to destroy the Qinglong empire. Long Tianci appreciated his ability and courage, so he made an exception to appoint him as the new general of the vanguard army, But today's defeat is to disappoint the trust and expectation of long Tianci. What face do you have to answer the question of long Tianci?
Seeing that Du Xing didn't answer, long Tianci shook his head and said, "in fact, I can't blame you for this loss. I trust your ability too much. I forgot that you were on the battlefield for the first time. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Of course you won't act honestly. If you really want to punish, I'm also guilty!"
"Marshal! Don't say that. I failed to live up to your expectations. I'm incompetent! Please give me a death!" Du Xing burst into tears when he heard long Tianci's words, and then sobbed and begged!
"Give you a death? Yes! Your crime is indeed worthy of death, but will those sacrificed soldiers survive if I let you die? Will the enemy surrender if I let you die? If I let you die, we can win the war? Your mistake can't be made up by death. I want you to live and make atonement for your achievements, so I won't execute you!" long Tianci said seriously!
"Marshal!!" Du Xing was surprised when he heard what long Tianci said. He never thought he had made such a big mistake that long Tianci didn't kill him!
"You don't have to say anything. Although I don't kill you, it doesn't mean you'll be all right. From now on, you're no longer a general. I devalue you as a soldier. In addition, you should publicly accept the whipping so that the whole army can know that I'm not indiscriminate in reward and punishment!" long Tianci issued his own judgment!
For Du Xing, this is a mercy beyond the law. Disobeying military orders has always been the end of death, not to mention that he has killed tens of thousands of soldiers. He is really grateful that long Tianci didn't kill him for such a great crime. Du Xing knelt on the ground after hearing the sentence of long Tianci and cried: "Thank you, marshal, for not killing me. I will certainly make atonement for my meritorious service!"
Long Tianci nodded and then asked the soldiers to carry Du Xing down. Because Du Xing was hurt, long Tianci just punished Du Xing with ten lashes as an example. Of course, long Tianci didn't say how soft hearted he was. The main reason why he didn't kill Du Xing was because Du Xing was a Gu clan.
At present, the backbone of the rebel army is basically the Gu clan. It is obviously unacceptable for the Gu clan to kill a Gu clan general at the beginning of the war. The first battle of the war is such a disastrous defeat. If you are unhappy with the Gu clan again because of this, it will really outweigh the loss.
Long Tianci's decision was approved by most of the Gu clan, but some imolai generals were unwilling. An imolai general suddenly stood up after Du Xing was carried out, and then saluted long Tianci with a fist and said: "Marshal, I don't think your decision is appropriate! Du Xing publicly disobeyed the military order and caused the deaths and injuries of more than 20000 soldiers. The most important thing is to hit the morale of our army. If you don't kill him for such a felony, marshal, how can you serve the public?"
Hearing the general's words, long Tianci thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked, "general Fu, according to your meaning, I should kill Du Xing, shouldn't I?"
"That's right! Military orders are like mountains, military laws are strict, and Du Xing's disobedience to military orders has caused great losses, so he should be executed!" the famous general said with righteous words!
"... who else thinks I'm wrong? Please stand up!" long Tianci sighed, then suddenly stood up and asked!
Long Tianci's question stunned all the people present. Then, the generals, look at me. I think you seem to be asking other people's opinions. Finally, four generals stood up, and all the four generals are Yimo people!
Looking at the five people who stood up, long Tianci nodded, and then suddenly opened his mouth with a righteous face and said, "several generals, I know you don't agree with my decision, but I'm here to ask you, if I execute Du Xing, what benefits will it do to our current situation?"
"... benefits? Marshal! There's no reason for you to ask this question. Military law is an order of the army. Once the military law is formulated, you must abide by it. Before you send out the army, you set the military law yourself. Your current practice is in violation of the military law. I can't tell the benefits of killing Du Xing, but I know the disadvantages of not killing. Your kindness is beyond the law It will make all the generals and all the soldiers in the battalion have a military law. It's just a sham. Who will listen to your orders at that time? "The general surnamed Fu asked back!
"You're right. Of course I know the truth that military skills are like a mountain, but have you ever thought about it? We were defeated by the enemy in the first battle, and the loss of soldiers reached about 20000. After that, we had to kill a general who can lead the army to fight, which would be even greater for us. I think you all know that our rebel army has more troops than the enemy, but in the general For me, every general is precious and indispensable. The reason why I decided to spare Du Xing's life is just to keep a general and Du Xing can certainly be used when needed. "Long Tianci told all the generals present his idea!
"Marshal's consideration is indeed correct, but in this case, the military law will be in vain!" general Fu said with an embarrassed face!
"... well! I also said that I was wrong to appoint Du Xing as the vanguard general. If I really want to be punished, I can't escape the responsibility. Since I spared Du Xing's life, I will bear half of his crime! Send the order and let someone set up another whip frame next to Du Xing's whip frame, and I will bear the whip with him!" long Tianci thought for a moment, Then he suddenly said!
As soon as they heard the decision of long Tianci, the people present were dumbfounded. Then all the generals of the Gu family stood up and shouted, "marshal, no! How can you bear the responsibility for Du Xing?"
