The north wind is as sharp as a knife, and the black scroll with Chinese characters makes a hunting sound.

Chen Sheng, who was wearing black armor with dragon patterns, jumped off his tall horse and strode into the Chinese army's commanding tent amid the hurried escort of hundreds of elite soldiers.

The generals who had been waiting in the commander's tent quickly stood up when they heard the chaotic footsteps, clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "We pay homage to the king, long live the king..."

"Let's all get flat!"

Chen Sheng pulled off his bright red cloak and threw it to the captain of the guard who was chasing him in. He strode from among the generals who were clasping their fists and bending to the top of the commander's tent. He turned around and glanced around, and saw the general of the first division on the left, with Chen Shou.

At the head, the fifth division commander is on the right, but the marching Sima Fan Zeng stands in front of the fifth division commander Ji Bu.

The generals of the two divisions are clearly separated and can be seen at a glance.

Chen Sheng knew what he knew, and said with a serious face: "I am pressed for time. There are still a lot of things in the royal court waiting for me to go back to deal with. I have to leave and return to the center in an hour at the latest. So, long story short, nonsense, polite words

Don’t tell me, or I’ll tell you later after your triumph!”

The generals looked solemn and responded in unison: "Wei!"

Chen Sheng nodded, lowered himself to drag Ma Zha behind him, and pressed down with his other hand to signal them to sit down.

"I've just been to the wounded barracks!"

Chen Sheng said: "Three hundred and twenty-seven were killed and 968 were disabled!"

He raised a finger expressionlessly: "In one stick of incense, my division is in close combat with the Baiyue people. It only takes one stick of incense!"

"In just one stick of incense, my division suffered nearly 1,300 casualties!"

"And the casualties of that Baiyue force will definitely not exceed 700!"

"I don't care with you whether this Baiyue partial army is just a ragtag group of several small tribes!"

"I only care about you. The strength of my first division is twice that of this Baiyue partial division!"

"With two to one troops, you give me a two to one battle loss!"

"Since our inception, our army in red has always been accustomed to outnumbering the enemy and winning every battle, and conquering every attack. We have never suffered such a defeat!"

"It has only been in your hands for three months now, and you gave me such a big surprise!"

"After all, your daily exercises are all just tricks to fool me!"

"That Baiyue man really has one more head and two arms than my Jiuzhou son. He can beat two of us Jiuzhou men with one head!"

He controlled the anger in his heart.

But the anger in the words can be heard even by a deaf person.

Chen Sheng actually knew very well that the defeat in this battle was not due to war.

The Red Army has been fighting against the imperial court and Taiping Dao troops for a long time. From the generals to the soldiers, they have already adapted to the fighting style and rhythm of the Kyushu Civil War.

Now the opponent suddenly changed to the Baiyue people who didn't play according to the routine at all, and they were suddenly unable to defeat this group of arrogant warriors!

To be honest, even if Chen Sheng personally leads the troops in this battle, the result will most likely not be much better than it is now...

But what’s clear is what’s clear.

He must give out this pressure and press it down hard!

He did not allow these generals to adopt the "crime other than war" mentality and slowly take human lives to adapt to the Baiyue people's combat rhythm!

That doesn't fit in with his positioning of the Red Army!

Therefore, he must shake off the whip and beat them hard, forcing them to use their subjective initiative, be proactive, work hard... and even take the initiative to adapt to the Baiyue people's combat rhythm by any means necessary!

When all the generals in the tent heard his words, their faces turned red and their heads drooped, not daring to look directly into Chen Sheng's eyes.

Even if they all know the reason for today's defeat.

The fact that Chen Sheng still revealed deeply hurt their proud hearts.

What's more, that reason may be justified to others.

When I arrived at Chen Sheng alone, I couldn’t figure it out...

Not just because Chen Sheng is the founder, military spirit and belief of the Red Army.

Also because Chen Sheng once commanded the Red Army to win many battles in which the enemy was outnumbered!

No matter which battle is more difficult than today's battle...

"how?"

Chen Sheng moved his gaze across the tent, and the coldness in his eyes was as cold as the north wind. Even though all the generals lowered their heads and could not see his eyes, they still shrank their necks because of the coldness in their eyes: "You guys usually

Isn’t Li quite eloquent? When it comes to asking for soldiers, armor, and food and fodder, don’t each of them speak louder than the other?”

"Why now..."

He slapped the handsome case with one palm and suddenly shouted: "I'm mute!"

All the generals under the tent were shocked. After coming back to their senses, they hurriedly stood up and stood facing Chen Sheng with their hands down. They all held their breaths and did not even dare to breathe out!

In the end, Chen Shou stood at the left side of the tent. Seeing that no one among the generals dared to say a word, he had no choice but to step out and clasp his fists: "I would like to report to the king, today's defeat is due to the general's improper command. Please punish me."

!”

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows helplessly, sighed inaudibly, and said in a cold voice: "Punishment? Don't we, the Red Army, have military law...Fan Sima!"

Fan Zeng came out of the queue, clasped his hands and said, "I'm here!"

Chen Sheng didn't even look at him, and said expressionlessly: "According to the military laws of our Red Army, improper command in front of the formation caused heavy casualties of a thousand people. What crime should I be punished for!"

This defeat shouldn't be treated like this, but since Chen Shou took the initiative to take the blame, the blame must be taken down like this!

Otherwise, military law will become a decoration!

As soon as his words came out, all the generals in the tent changed their minds. They all raised their heads and glanced at Chen Sheng's face. Seeing his expressionless face and cold eyes, as if there was no room for relaxation, the generals became more and more frightened.

Even Fan Zeng couldn't help but glance at Chen Sheng secretly, hesitating and not daring to open his mouth.

Only Chen Shou, who was standing in the tent with his hands clasped, showed no change in his expression.

Chen Sheng waited for several breaths but failed to wait for Fan Zeng to speak. He raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "You are mute? Speak!"

Fan Zeng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied loudly: "Your Majesty, Master Chen's mistake, according to the military law of our Red Army, he will be demoted one rank, fined three months' salary, thirty cane punishments, and recorded as a major demerit!"

"

As soon as he finished speaking, many generals of the First Division standing on the left side of the commander's tent could no longer bear it. They came out one after another, clasped their fists and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, today's defeat has nothing to do with Master Chen's command, but the final result."

The general's failure in the battle is due to the last general, please punish him!"

"I report to your Majesty that the last general's troops were also in front of the Wild Geese Formation. They were all defeated because the last general was not able to encircle them quickly. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"...Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Chen Shou changed his color, and couldn't help but want to turn around and scold these thugs, but Chen Sheng, who walked out of the handsome tent, grabbed his arm.

Chen Shou looked at Chen Sheng in confusion.

Chen Sheng was silent and shook his head slightly at him.

Chen Shou could only sigh quietly in his heart...

Chen Sheng let go of Chen Shou's arm and watched them come out one by one with an expressionless face, each holding his fists and putting them directly in front of him.

Until there was no one standing where the generals of the division once stood.

Until the voices of apology that came and went under the tent completely stopped.

He just passed Chen Shou, smiled lightly and said softly: "I am happy to see you all so united and united. This is the true nature of brother Paoze who stirs up trouble in the cauldron!"

"However, the love of Pao Ze should be used in the right place, such as fighting side by side, working together to move forward, never abandoning, never giving up..."

"Instead of using it at this time and this kind of occasion!"

"Your behavior..."

"To put it mildly, it's called Xiaoying!"

"What is Xiaoying? It means killing generals and seizing power!"

"To put it more seriously, it's called forced uterus!"

"What does forcing the palace mean? It means killing the king and seizing the throne!"

His voice was not loud, it could even be said to be very soft, so soft that only the generals in the commander's tent could hear it.

But the content in the voice frightened all the generals in the tent so much that they didn't even dare to stand in front of Chen Sheng. They all knelt down on one knee and raised their hands with fists above their heads. They didn't dare to defend themselves, let alone beg for mercy!

They really worship Chen Sheng and believe in Chen Sheng from the bottom of their hearts.

Just listening to the charges Chen Sheng mentioned made them feel as if they were in despair!

Not to mention thinking about...

"Of course, I believe you don't mean this!"

"You are both my subordinates, my students, and my brothers."

"I believe you don't have such bad intentions!"
