Chapter 439: Should Nangong Shi be killed?
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he seemed to think it made sense.
But he was afraid that Wei Ben was pretending to surrender, and finally captured him directly.
Jiang Ziya was a little afraid to step forward, but Jin Zha on the side could see what Jiang Ziya was thinking.
He walked directly in front of Wei Ben.
"Since you intend to surrender, just come with me and bring your troops. The Prime Minister will naturally arrange it for you!"
After Jin Zha finished speaking, Wei Ben took all his troops in.
He doesn't have many people, and some of them are simply not enough among the 600,000 Xiqi army.
When the men and horses entered the army, Wei Ben put down his weapons and came to see Jiang Ziya. Now Jiang Ziya was relieved.
Seeing Wei Ben approaching, Jiang Ziya nodded. This Wei Ben must be a bit powerful, actually more powerful than Xiqi's famous general Nangong Shidu. If he sincerely surrenders, he must also be a tiger general who can help him!
"The last general Wei Bi met the Prime Minister and asked the Prime Minister to take him in and let me serve Da Zhou!"
Wei Ben said directly.
Jiang Ziya then asked a few questions and found out that Wei Ben was really willing to surrender to him!
It seems that I have been worrying too much. Today's big merchants are at the end of their rope, so naturally knowledgeable people can recognize the reality.
"Okay, General Wei, since you are willing to follow who you are, you will naturally have your glory and wealth in the future. Get up!"
Jiang Ziya said with a smile.
He got a general without any effort.
Still a powerful military commander!
This is a good sign!
It indicates that I can turn danger into good luck along the way!
Jiang Ziya felt slightly proud.
Seeing that Jiang Ziya had subdued Wei Ben, Huang Feihu stepped forward and said.
"Prime Minister, now General Wei has surrendered to our great Zhou Dynasty, but General Nangong Shi is still in custody. Prime Minister, this General Wei is not an enemy, and General Nangong Shi is not a loser, so please have mercy on Prime Minister and let him go!"
Huang Feihu said.
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he couldn't help but frown a little. Now that he had subdued Wei Ben, he actually forgot about Nangong Shi.
"Regardless of whether Wei Bi has surrendered or not, Nangong Shi has been defeated for a while. This is extremely detrimental to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I cannot let him be released! According to our military laws, Nangong Shi will be killed appropriately!"
Jiang Ziya thought for a while and said directly.
When Huang Feihu heard this, he looked at the others and felt helpless.
When Wei Bi heard this, he hurriedly saluted Jiang Ziya.
"Prime Minister, I have just joined the army and am not qualified to say anything. However, Prime Minister, I fought against General Nangong. General Nangong was very powerful. Although he was captured by me, it was because I found that he had many concerns. He will be defeated if he cannot concentrate on fighting, so I beg the Prime Minister to be merciful and let him go!"
Wei Ben said hurriedly.
This time he just wanted to test everyone in Xiqi, and also wanted to use this method to get Jiang Ziya to come out to see him.
Unexpectedly, it actually brought disaster to Nangong Shi. If Nangong Shi could not escape from danger, I am afraid that Wei Ben would not have any foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future!
Jiang Ziya looked at Wei Ben and said the same thing, feeling a little embarrassed.
He wants to use Nangong Shi to establish his authority!
During this Eastern Expedition to Chaoge, everyone needs to listen to him along the way. Now that Ji Fa is here, Liu Ming still has the responsibility of supervision, and he must establish his authority.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it might be a little difficult.
And it just so happened that Nangong Shi's identity was also suitable. He was a famous general in Xiqi and had been following Ji Chang for many years. Now is the perfect time to use him to establish his authority.
"Although Nangong Shi was careless and made a mistake, he was defeated in your hands. But if you lose, you will lose. He once said it when he went to war. He also issued military orders several times. If you lose, you will be punished. This is the same for you. It is clear that if I let him go now, I am afraid that the army will be weakened and how will it be able to march and fight!"
Jiang Ziya looked at them and said.
After hearing this, Huang Feihu and others didn't know how to persuade him.
At this moment, Liu Ming suddenly appeared in the camp.
When everyone saw Liu Ming coming, they all saluted respectfully.
Jiang Ziya's expression changed. Liu Ming never appeared in his tent. Now that he is here, it must be because of Nangong Shi!
"I don't know why I came here, but something happened!"
Jiang Ziya asked directly.
Liu Ming nodded slightly and walked directly in front of everyone.
"Prime Minister Jiang, the poor Taoist knows about Nangong Shi. Now that he has gained Wei Bi, it is also a good thing. Although Nangong Shi failed, it is a good sign that he has gained Wei Bi now, so let Nangong Shi go!"
As soon as Liu Ming opened his mouth, Jiang Ziya's expression changed drastically.
And when everyone saw Liu Ming standing up for Nangong Shi, they knew that Nangong Shi might not die!
"Taoist Priest, this is military affairs. I have obeyed King Wu's will to take charge of the army and seal the marshal. King Wu has handed over everything to me, so Taoist Priest should not interfere with this march and fight!"
Jiang Ziya said directly.
Liu Ming looked back at him.
"You are right, you do have this right, but Pindao also obeys the king's decree and supervises everything. Now whether it is appropriate for you to deal with Nangong, Pindao cannot let you do this. Do you have any opinion?"
Although Liu Ming's voice was not loud, the warning in his tone was very strong.
"I dare to ask, sir, how Nangong Shi handled this was wrong. If nothing else, he lost the first battle. Isn't this something that can't be dealt with!"
Jiang Ziya also lost his temper.
Liu Ming is now showing no mercy to him in front of everyone. If he agrees to him now, he may not be able to gain credibility in the future.
"Haha, you are right. Nangong Shi lost the first battle, but the crime is not worthy of death. If we were to judge the crime, you, the Prime Minister, should be the first to blame. It was you who misemployed people. You knew that the first battle was so important, why didn't you send powerful people? Take action? So you should be killed?
In addition, victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers. You cannot kill the generals if you lose. If this continues, by the time Chaoge arrives, you will probably kill only a few of the generals in this big tent! Who can guarantee that he will never be defeated! "
As soon as Liu Ming said this, Jiang Ziya's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Huang Feihu and the others in the big tent also nodded. What Liu Ming said makes sense!
They are all generals marching and fighting. Who dares to say that he will never be defeated.
If it is true that according to what Jiang Ziya is saying now, if they lose, they will be beheaded, then wouldn't they be facing life and death at any time?
Originally, fighting the enemy was all about fighting, but in the end, he had to worry about being defeated and killed when he came back. Who could have the heart to fight wholeheartedly?
Jiang Ziya clenched his fists at this moment and looked at Liu Ming fiercely.
