Wen Pin had heard Liu Jing shouting outside the tent to keep someone under the knife, he was startled, could it be that Liu Jing still has a friendship with this little village chief?

It stands to reason that Liu Jing's position is not high, he is just a small military lord, he is not qualified to intercede for Wei Yan, but his status is special, he is Liu's cousin and nephew, even Cai Mao has to give face.

However, Wenpin has always been strict and upright, and it might not be so easy to let him spare Wei Yan. Liu Jing felt apprehensive, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Jingzhou's good generals are hard to find, I hope that Wenshuai will spare Wei Yan's life!"

Wen Pin stared at Liu Jing for a long time, and said indifferently: "Young Master Jing will also become a general who leads troops in the future. The military law is like a mountain. If you should be killed, you will be spared, but you should be punished, but you will be fine. So in the past, how can you convince the public?"

"This..." Liu Jing didn't understand Wei Yan's situation, so he couldn't find a reason to intercede.

At this time, Wei Yan shouted outside the tent: "Military law is as good as a mountain, but Wei Yan's crimes are not punishable by death, and Shuai Wen is punished for minor crimes and heavy punishments. How can I convince the public?"

Wen Pin's face changed, Wei Yan's ears were good, and he was about to shout, but Liu Jing seized the opportunity and said: "Wen Shuai, can you listen to his defense for a while, otherwise killing the sergeant by mistake will also damage Wen Shuai's army. reputation."

In fact, Wenpin also wanted to hear Wei Yan's explanation, and he had a vague feeling that things might not be that simple.

It's just that Wei Yan's position is low, and he can't save face for a while. Now that Liu Jing is begging for mercy, Wenpin will go along with it.

"For Mr. Jing's sake, I'll give him a chance to defend himself, push in!"

Several soldiers pushed Wei Yan in, pushed him to his knees, Wen Pin looked at him coldly and said, "Speak up! If you have any objections, just speak up."

Wei Yan narrowly escaped death, looked at Liu Jing gratefully, and then said in a deep voice: "The lowly job is that the patrols are not strict, which caused Cao Jun's scouts to approach the big tent. The lowly job is guilty and dare not shirk it, but the lowly job is the head of the village. Apply to the military marquis in advance. I took all fifty brothers out of the camp, but the Marquis refused, so I was only allowed to lead 20 of them, resulting in a shortage of sentry soldiers. Although it is a serious crime to be humble, the Marquis is also guilty of sending troops for failure."

Wenpin walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then did you tell your boss why you brought fifty patrol soldiers?"

"The humble official said that twenty men are definitely not enough to patrol thirty miles, and there will be loopholes, but the military marquis refused to listen, saying that only 20 people will be given, and no more will be given."

Wen Pin was slightly angry, and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Bring me this man's military commander!"

A soldier rushed away, and not long after, he brought two officers, one was a military marquis, Wei Yan's immediate superior, and the other was Ya Jiang, the officer in charge.

The two knelt down on one knee together: "See you, Commander!"

"Let me ask you why only 20 people are given to this person to patrol the forest for more than 20 miles. Do you think [-] people are enough?"

Marquis Jun and General Ya looked at each other. They were both military men, and they had already discussed countermeasures on the way. Although Wei Yan was wearing small shoes, if something happened, he had to clear his own responsibility.

The Marquis kowtowed and said, "Reporting to the Commander, it is really because there are not enough horses that he is not allowed to take 50 people there."

"nonsense!"

Wei Yan couldn't help roaring, "I'm going to get the horses, so what's your business? It's because you don't want to send me 50 men, and all [-] of my subordinates can ride horses. You won't say you're afraid of not having enough riders, will you?" !"

The Marquis Jun blushed and was speechless, but Ya Jiang said calmly, "Reporting to Commander, this Wei Yan has always been rebellious towards his superiors and disobeyed military orders. He is a well-known assassin in the army. He only needs to carry out the orders of the Marquis. It is not his turn to refute, accusing the Marquis of sending too few troops. Although the number of 20 troops is too small, it cannot be an excuse for his dereliction of duty, let alone blame his superiors. On the head, please be a master!"

Seeing his unreasonable words, Liu Jing next to him couldn't help but retort: ​​"From ancient times to the present, responsibilities have been taken from top to bottom. If one day, a sentry's dereliction of duty caused Jingzhou's defeat, wouldn't Shuai Wen still go to the state sheriff's office?" Explain, this is Xiaobing's responsibility and has nothing to do with him?"

There was silence in the big tent, and Wenpin nodded slowly, "Wu Qing, the general of the teeth, should take the first responsibility, push him out to beat fifty army sticks, and be demoted one level; Army sticks, demoted to one level; Wei Yan's ineffective patrols, missing enemy scouts, will take the main responsibility, hit thirty army sticks, dismissed as soldiers!"

All the soldiers pushed the three of them out, and beat them hard. Then Wen Pin smiled to Liu Jing: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank Mr. Jing for reminding me that I almost punished unfairly and ruined my reputation."

Liu Jing bowed and saluted, "Wen Shuai will change his mind after hearing it, and he is as open-minded as a valley. Liu Jing admires it very much, but I still have one thing to ask."

"Anything else, just say, as long as it doesn't violate military regulations, I can consider it."

Wenpin was so polite, after all, he still didn't treat Liu Jing as his subordinate.

Liu Jing looked back at Wei Yan who was being beaten outside the tent, and sighed: "This is Wei Yan, although he escaped with his life, General Ya and Junhou will definitely not spare him, he will definitely die in their hands, I implore Wen Shuai transferred him to my side."

Mr. Jing has taken a fancy to Wei Yan, and Wenpin understands Liu Jing's thoughts, but since it is a favor, Wenpin readily agrees: "Okay! You can take him away later."

. . . . . . . .

"My lord, Wei Yan is grateful for your life-saving grace!"

In Liu Jing's tent, Wei Yan endured the pain and knelt down and kowtowed. Although he was beaten to a bloody mess, the [-] army sticks were nothing to him. He didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and he could recover after a day or two of recuperation.

But there is only a kind of gratitude in his heart for being reborn. If Liu Jing hadn't saved him today, his head would have fallen to the ground today. He doesn't know how to express his gratitude.

But Liu Jing didn't help him up, and comforted him a few words. At least this kind of old-fashioned plot will not be repeated here in Liu Jing.

Liu Jing put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "First of all, you can't call me my son. You are just one of my soldiers now, so you should be called my military lord. Secondly, I only rescued you because I thought Wen Shuai's punishment was unfair, so I came forward to stop it, just to Maintaining military discipline, I don't know you, I'm not here to save you.

Third, if you think that I saved you, you have nothing to rely on. If you dare to violate military discipline, dare to be greedy for life and fear death, I will kill you as well, remember? "

Wei Yan nodded silently, "Remember the humble job!"

Liu Jing smiled again, "Although Marshal Wen dismissed you as a pawn, I think it's enough for you to be demoted one level. So, you are serving as chief now, and your boss is Liu Hu, head of the village. Do it well!"

"I understand the humble job, and I will not disappoint the military marquis."

Wei Yan saluted, and a soldier helped him back down. Liu Hu next to him had already held back his words, and when he saw Wei Yan leaving the account, he immediately yelled, "How can you give me this famous stabbing head?"

Liu Jing patted Liu Hu on the shoulder and said with a slight smile, "He's not a stabbing head. One day in the future, he will become a general of Megatron's side. I won't misjudge him."

Liu Hu scratched his head, as if he had said this to himself and Gan Ning as well, as if this Megatron side was a bit too cheap.

Liu Jing seemed to understand what he meant by scratching his head, so he slapped him heavily on the shoulder, and said angrily: "I haven't put your newbie down yet, see how his injury is, give him some medicine, go!"

Liu Hu grinned and went out. Liu Jing folded his hands on his chest, looking up and reminiscing about today's harvest. This feeling was like catching a three-jin crucian carp in the river in his previous life. There was a kind of unexpected surprise.

This is Wei Yan!In history, if Zhuge Liang listened to his strategy of attacking Chang'an in Ziwu Valley, history might really be changed.

. . . . . . . .

At the beginning of the night, Cai Zhong quickly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, cupped his hands to Wenpin and said, "Is there anything Zhongye can do with me?"

Wen Pin nodded, "I just received an urgent military report from General Zuo. He is short of food and grass. I hope we can send some."

Cai Zhong sneered, "It's not that he is short of food and grass! He just wants to test whether we are willing to help him."

Wen Pin looked at Cai Zhong in surprise, he had always looked down on Cai Zhong, with a mean character, stupid and ignorant, unexpectedly he reacted very quickly today.

"No matter what his reason is, since we sent someone to ask for help, we can't just sit by and watch, what does General Cai think?"

Cai Zhong was beaten by Cai Mao last night, and he has gradually realized that it is not necessary to show a fierce face to kill someone, and sometimes hiding a knife in a smile is even more difficult to guard against.

He changed from being fierce and cruel before, and became polite and respectful to Wenpin, and took special care of Liu Jing.

All these civil servants knew that he only felt that Cai Zhong seemed to have changed his temper, and soon he figured out that maybe it was because he was away on an expedition. Without Cai Mao's backing, he had to restrain himself.

Therefore, when Wenpin spoke to Cai Zhong, he was more or less polite. Cai Zhong was in charge of the rear army, and he was in charge of food, grass and supplies. Wenpin adopted a deliberative tone.

Cai Zhong also smiled and said: "Zhongye is the commander of the first army. Since the commander has an order, Cai Zhong will of course obey, so he will allocate food and grass immediately."

After hesitating for a while, Cai Zhong suggested again: "I suggest that Mr. Jing should be sent to guard the grain and grass to Uncle Liu's barracks. What does Shuai Wen think?"

Wenpin thought for a while, but actually it would be good to let Liu Jing escort him. He has a close relationship with Liu Bei, and letting him deliver the food would dispel Liu Bei's suspicion, but just letting him go alone made Wenpin not at ease.

Wenpin went to the map and found Liu Bei's garrison. It was a hilly area on Bowang slope in the northwest of Xinye, about [-] miles away.

Judging from the current intelligence, Cao Jun is confronting Liu Bei and has no intention of attacking Jingxiang Army.

More importantly, Xiahou Dun's main force has not yet arrived, and now it is just Li Dian and Liu Bei's army confronting each other, which is not too dangerous. If we set off now, the food and grass will arrive at Liu Bei's barracks tomorrow morning.

Wen Pin pondered for a moment. Although he needed to consider Liu Jing's safety, he also believed that a man would never grow into a towering tree without weathering the wind and rain.

"Order Deng Wu to lead an army of one thousand and Liu Jing to guard the food."

Deng Wu is a native of Xinye. He was born in the Deng family. He is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is cautious and steady. Take it easy.
