Chapter 578 (2/2)
Miao Fu snorted coldly and walked quickly to the officers. He raised his leg and kicked him. The officers, not to mention their resistance, did not even dare to put out their hands to block it. They had to let Miao Fu vent his anger first. After a burst of kicking, Miao Fu's anger finally subsided. He even said, ”tell me exactly what happened! If you dare to hide something, be careful that I will cut off your dog's head! ” In his anger, Miao Fu was more like a bandit leader than a Confucian general.
Those cavalry officers, who dare to lie, told the whole story, from encountering the enemy on the official road to retreating in the middle. Finally, he paid homage to Miao Fu and cried, ”general! We have never done anything against the military law! The defeat of this war has nothing to do with us! Please be aware of itAfter listening to these officers' crying, Miao Fu was even more furious. He waved his whip and whipped them head to head at these officers. All of a sudden, they were rolling on the ground. Miao Fu whipped and yelled: ”cry! Cry! Cry! Just cry! As a soldier of Dachang! I don't even have this backbone! What's the use of I want you to wait for waste? ”
At this time, Yu Wenqian, who was on the expedition with the army, also came from the rear army. Seeing Miao Fu's appearance, he could not help shaking his head. Miao Fu is his brother-in-law. Yu Wenqian can't understand Miao Fu's temper any more. Although Miao Fu is a famous general, he has one drawback, that is, he likes to flog soldiers. None of the officers and men under his command had not been whipped by him. It was not so much that Miao Fu managed the army so well that it was more that the officers and men were afraid to violate military orders because of his majesty.
Seeing that Miao Fu was almost finished, Yu Wenqian gave Miao Fu a fist and said, ”uncle! The defeat of this war is not the fault of these slaves. Let's spare these slaves' lives for the time being. ” Yu Wenqian didn't care much about the lives of these low ranking officers. But now the cavalry was defeated by soldiers, and Miao Xuan was also injured, so he could not go to the battlefield for the time being. The cavalry still needed the officers in front of him to command them, so Yu Wenqian came forward to persuade him.
With Yu Wenqian's persuasion, Miao Fu stopped whipping. At this time, the officers were already scarred and their faces were full of whips. However, they did not dare to say anything more. Seeing Miao Fu stop his whip, they immediately got up from the ground and knelt on the ground. Remembering Miao Fu's words before, the tears in their eyes were forced back.
”Hum! Look at the face of his Highness the prince! Forgive you this time! Don't you bring the officers and men back to the team for rest? ” Miao Fu said coldly, and his eyes glared at them. The officers felt relieved and bowed to Miao Fu one after another. They took the cavalry with them to join the army.
Yu Wenqian looked at the gray faced cavalry, turned his head to Miao Fu and said, ”uncle! Now that our army is a new loser, should we first suspend our March and let the army adjust its mind a little before heading for Danube? ” Yuwenqian had already known the news that the cavalry had lost the battle before he came, so now he has this question.
However, Yu Wenqian's proposal was rejected by Miao Fu. At this time, Miao Fu's anger dissipated a lot, and he slowly recovered his calm face. After listening to Yu Wenqian's proposal, Miao Fu shook his head and said, ”Your Highness, the defeat of the cavalry is due to the enemy's tricks, not that the enemy's strength is stronger than our army's! If our army does not move forward, it will have an impact on the morale of our army! So now, instead of stopping, we should speed up the March and recapture a city as quickly as possible
”Speed up the March?” Although Yu Wenqian was not as good as Miao Fu in marching and fighting, he was still a little confused at the moment. He frowned and said, ”uncle! If we speed up the March, will it not be easy to be ambushed by the enemy like the cavalry this time? It would be more appropriate not to slow down the March, but to send more scouts to search around! ”
”Ha ha ha ha ha!” At this time, Miao Fu had completely changed from his gaffe. Hearing Yu Wenqian's proposal, he looked up at the sky with a smile and said, ”Your Highness is wrong! I can guarantee that there will be no more ambush on the way to Danube this time! We can march with confidence! ”
Yu Wenqian was confused. The lesson of Miao Xuan's defeat was in front of him. Why was Miao Fu so confident? However, Miao Fu saw Yu Wenqian's doubts in his eyes. Even with a smile, he said, ”Your Highness, the reason why I am so sure that the enemy will not set an ambush again is naturally justified! Listen to me and take your time
