Xiangyang is not far from Xinye, only a hundred miles away, and it can be reached sooner or later, but Wenpin is cautious, and ordered to camp when it was still [-] miles away from Xinye County.

This area is on the west bank of Bishui, surrounded by low and gentle mounds, with a wide view, and a dense forest is more than ten miles away.

These are the elements of camping. There must be a source of water, open fields, flat terrain, and meticulous civil and employment. Ten thousand troops set up camp. After a whole hour of busy work, a large camp covering an area of ​​several hundred mu was completed.

The center of the big camp is the granary and military resources, and then there are hundreds of large tent military camps. The baggage vehicles surround the big camp, and there are 20 spears around the outermost. The spears are inserted obliquely into the ground, sharp The tip of the spear is outward.

Not only that, tens of thousands of caltrops were sprinkled on the places where the cavalry could charge more easily, which is also a sharp weapon against the cavalry. In addition, eight sentry towers were built at the four corners of the camp, which could overlook several miles, and the guards were heavily guarded in all directions.

Wenpin was about 30 years old. He was originally a low-level military officer. He was highly skilled in martial arts, liked to read military books, and was both civil and military. In a battle against Jiaozhou, he led 300 people to defeat thousands of enemy troops. He stood out and was favored by Cai Mao. Liu Biao.

Liu Biao also admired his martial arts and strategy very much. He promoted him to be a military marquis, and soon he was promoted to a general. Five years later, he was gradually promoted to a lieutenant. .

Wenpin is strict in running the army, but at the same time loves soldiers like a son, and is upright, so he is deeply loved by Jingzhou soldiers. Like Huang Zhong and Wang Wei, he is one of the most prestigious generals in the Jingzhou army.

Wenpin accepted Cai Mao's nephew Cai Jin as his apprentice four years ago because of Cai Mao's kindness. He was once considered to be part of the Cai family. However, Wenpin had a personal feud with Zhang Yun. Then he began to favor the second son Liu Cong.

Therefore, Wenpin has gradually parted ways with the Cai family. In addition, Wenpin is from Nanyang and has a very close relationship with Huang Zhong, and the Nanyang Huang family has formed a party with the Kuai family.

Although there is no necessary causal relationship, Wenpin did start to favor Kuai Yue. This time he was the main general of the Northern Expedition, and Kuai Yue strongly recommended him.

In the barracks, Wenpin led more than a dozen generals to inspect the situation of the camp. He is a rigorous person, and he has to do many things by himself.

Walking to the watchtower in the southwest corner, Wenpin took a look at the construction of the watchtower. There were protective ditches dug around, and there was no cutting corners. He nodded, quite satisfied.

"General, do you want to go up?" a general asked.

Wenpin did not speak, and climbed up the ladder directly to the watchtower. There were two sentries on the watchtower, each guarding one side. Once an abnormal situation was found, the bell would ring to warn. A cast iron bell was hung on the watchtower. Violent knocking, the sound can be heard for miles.

"What's the matter?" Wen Pin asked when he saw that the two sentries seemed to have something to say.

"Reporting to Commander, we seem to have seen Cao Jun's scout just now."

A sentry pointed southwest. "Spotted just a mile away."

Wen Pin's face sank, and he stepped forward and looked to the southwest direction. There was a dense forest more than a dozen miles to the southwest, stretching for more than a hundred miles.

As far as the eye can see, the low and gentle hills are undulating. It is dusk at this time, and the blood-red sunset hangs above the forest.

At this moment, several cavalrymen appeared on a mound, about a mile away from the camp, and were looking at the camp from a distance. Wenpin saw at a glance that they were scouts of Cao Jun.

Wenpin was suddenly furious, he clearly sent several patrols around, why didn't he stop Cao Jun's scouts.

"Where is Deng Wu?"

Wenpin turned his head and shouted loudly, and a young general bowed down in response, "Humble position is here!"

"Lead [-] cavalry to quickly surround Cao Jun's scouts. If you let them escape, you will come and see them!"

"As ordered!"

Ya Jiang Deng Wu galloped away, and a moment later, a cavalry force of 300 rushed out of the camp gate and outflanked Cao Jun's scouts.

But Wenpin was still angry, and he ordered again: "Catch me the patrol leader in charge of the southwest, and punish him severely!"

. . . . . . . . .

Liu Jing's 500 people belonged to the independent music department, which was responsible for protecting the food and grass. They were directly led by the general Cai Zhong.

When appropriating the tents, Cai Zhong specially gave them 30 tents of the best quality. Other soldiers had 20 tents per tent, but here Liu Jing had [-] tents per tent.

Moreover, in terms of food, rice and meat, he was also a little better than other soldiers, which made Liu Jing a little surprised. Could it be that Cai Zhong wanted to give up his past with him?

But based on his understanding of Cai Zhong, he felt that it was impossible. Cai Zhong might have other plans, so he didn't make any statement and just waited and watched.

The sun was setting and the sky was dim. Five hundred of Liu Jing's subordinates were gathering for dinner, and the laughter was loud and lively. From time to time, Liu Hu's fat body could be seen huddling among the soldiers to grab food, and the soldiers would not let him , noisy into a ball.

At this time, Liu Jing suddenly saw a few dozen steps away, an officer was tied up by five flowers, and went to the large tent of the Chinese army in front. This general looked like a low-level officer in military uniform, but he was tall and handsome. Tied up, but with his head held up, undepressed, with a bit of momentum.

Liu Jing thought to himself: "I don't know what military regulations this person violated, but he was bound and came here. It seems quite mighty." '

He immediately ordered one of his subordinates, "Go and find out, what happened over there, and why are you arresting people?"

The soldiers rushed away, and came back to report after a while: "Junhou, this man is a patrol officer. I heard that he found Cao Jun's scouts within the scope of the patrol. Wen Shuai was furious and arrested him for questioning. I heard that this Dereliction of duty may result in execution."

Liu Jing nodded, it turned out that this was the case, this man was handsome, it would be a pity to kill him, although Liu Jing thought so, but he didn't want to be troublesome, Wen Pin was strict in governing the army, and his military law was like a mountain.

He turned to leave, when the soldier behind him said again: "I heard that this person is called Wei Yan, and his martial arts skills are not bad."

'Wei Yan! '

Liu Jing turned around abruptly, suspecting that he had heard wrong, he asked again, "What's his name?"

The soldier scratched his head, "His name is Wei Yan. Many people know him. He is not popular and has offended many people..."

Before the soldier finished speaking, Liu Jing rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army, just kidding!This is Wei Yan, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, who is about to be executed.

Liu Jing knows that there are many talents in Jingzhou, but there are more people who emphasize literature, and there are fewer famous generals. Famous people, such as Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wenpin, Wei Yan, are actually good, and they are not as useless as in the romance .

These famous generals have appeared one after another, but Wei Yan did not show up for a long time. Liu Jing also asked someone to inquire, but there was no news. He was a little suspicious that Wei Yan might not be in Jingzhou, but Wei Yan was from Yiyang, and Yiyang did belong to Jingzhou.

Just when Liu Jing couldn't find this person for a long time, Wei Yan appeared at the most unexpected moment, and was in danger as soon as he appeared, and was about to be executed by Wenpin.

Liu Jing was anxious and rushed towards Wenpin's tent, fearing that if he was too late, Wei Yan's head would fall to the ground.

If Wei Yanruo is dead, who will help him fight the country? . . .

. . . . . . . .

In the commander's tent, Wen Pin's face was ashen. Although Deng Wu led the cavalry to siege with all his strength, two of the seven Cao Jun scouts escaped, and his military plane was leaked, which made him furious.

Wen Pin slammed Shuai's case heavily, and scolded: "The patrolling is not strict, causing Cao Jun's scouts to approach the big tent, you can be guilty!"

This is a characteristic of Wenpin. Even if he wants to kill a soldier, he has to announce the reason and what military regulations he violated.

Especially this time the Northern Expedition was of great significance. For his first trial and punishment, of course he had to convict the other party and convince the whole army.

Wei Yan was tied up and knelt on the ground on one knee. He is 29 years old this year and has served in the army in Jingzhou for seven years. From the battle of Jiaozhou to the attack on Changsha, he has made numerous military exploits.

But what is different from others is that others make meritorious deeds in order to get promoted, while he made meritorious deeds to pay for crimes. Wei Yan is a proud man, often speaks rudely, offends his boss repeatedly, and never leaves his shoes.

Every time he makes a meritorious service, various troubles will appear to offset his contribution. Even so, Wei Yan refuses to change his character. He is like a downcast phoenix among the pheasants. In [-], the person who joined the army with him had been promoted to the rank of Army Marquis Ya General, but he was still a small village chief.

Wei Yan refused to lower his head, and said proudly: "Although I neglected my duty, there was a reason. I only brought twenty brothers, but I was responsible for an area of ​​thirty miles, especially in the southwestern part where the forest is densely covered. The nearest forest to the military camp is only eight miles away. Cao Jun’s scouts came out of this forest, but at least 30 people are needed to completely monitor this forest, even if we leave it alone and keep an eye on it here, the number is not enough, why didn’t the commander ask the reason?”

"I only look at the results. Whether you take ten people or 100 people, these are all your own affairs. I don't care. But if Cao Jun's scouts appear within your patrol range, you will not bear the blame, who will bear the responsibility?" crime?"

Wen Pin became more and more angry as he talked, and finally he slapped the table, "Push it out and cut it!"

Wei Yan was surrounded by several knives and axes, and Wei Yan turned his head and shouted: "I was not the one who sent the soldiers, why should I be held accountable, Marshal, your punishment is unfair!"

Wenpin's eyes narrowed. A small village head, without begging for mercy, dared to accuse himself of injustice. He was really tired of his job.

Wei Yan was pushed out of the big tent and forced to kneel on the ground. A swordsman raised the sharp machete high and pointed it at Wei Yan's neck.

Wei Yan closed his eyes and sighed softly, "I never thought that I, Wei Yan, would die here."

At this moment, a shout came from afar: "Keep people under the sword!"

I saw a person rushing towards him, many soldiers knew him, it turned out to be Mr. Jing, the swordsman hesitated, but the knife did not strike.

Liu Jing's heart jumped out of shock, and Wei Yan's head fell to the ground just a little bit.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and plead with the coach, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to kill!"

The knife-axe hand put down the knife, and Wei Yanchang heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that someone would come to rescue him.

Before he could see who it was, Liu Jing walked quickly into the big tent and knelt down on one knee to salute, "The humble Liu Jing sees Wen Shuai!"
