Chapter 246: Die with Glory, Reject Shame and Survive!

It's not just Tie Zheng, even the two old marshals, Qiu Jianhan and Han Daoyin, are also covered in blood at this time.

How could the two veterans miss such a battle scene?

In fact, thanks to their good cultivation, they each resisted a master of the other side.

Even more, because of the two of them's sophisticated command, the situation of the battle was even more overwhelming, and finally all these masters of the Four Seasons Building were wiped out.

"Count the casualties and losses!"

Tie Zheng's face was heavy.

Although the attackers were all dead, but Yang Botao's life and death are uncertain; and from the point of being rescued, the result of this public trial can be regarded as a failure.

Moreover, today's casualties will also be a shocking number!

"Battle damage..." After a long time, a lieutenant wiped his eyes and said in a low voice, "Brothers who died in battle... six thousand three hundred and forty-two people. Among them, Wan Fenghui, Wang Dezhu, Wei Dexu... three generals, all killed in action...besides..."

The muscles on Tie Zheng's face twitched violently: "How many enemies are there?"

"Kill, twenty-eight people!"

"Twenty-eight people!" The muscles on Tie Zheng's face were twitching crazily: "Just these twenty-eight people have fought off my six thousand three hundred and forty-two brothers!?"

He turned his head slowly and looked at the bloody and bloodshot faces around him. For a moment, his heart was extremely heavy!

Just now, he was only focused on destroying the enemy and didn't consider his own losses. Although Tie Zheng had expected heavy casualties for his own side, when he heard that his side had suffered so many losses, he was still heartbroken!

"Tie Shuai! I believe that this battle, even the brothers who died in the battle, will feel happy! Death is worth it!"

A guy who lost one of his hands and one ear tried his best to stand up straight: "Brother who was injured, I think it's worth it! Have fun!"

All around, countless wounded soldiers shouted in unison: "Not bad! It's worth it! Enjoy it!"

"Because we, after all, have done something for the nine adults!"

The faces of the soldiers were clear: "Before, it was the nine lords who sheltered us from the wind and rain, and constantly rescued us from danger and death; but we never did our best for the nine lords. Now, facing their enemies , no matter how hard the brothers work, they are all willing!"

Tie Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed, and suddenly burst out laughing with tears in his eyes: "Lord Jiuzun, brothers have avenged you, have you seen that?!"

Panting heavily, Qiu Jianhan saw a guard rushing in, and hurriedly called out: "What happened?"

This guard is the person I left behind to pass on the news, how could he come in such a hurry, could it be that something happened again?

The guard anxiously said: "The fire in Yang Botao's mansion is raging and cannot be extinguished... Madam Yang poured all the kerosene in the mansion on the quilts and other things. This... There are seventy-one people in Yang's mansion, none of them survived. .”

Qiu Jianhan was shocked, and Tie Zheng also turned around abruptly, looking at the guard with a complicated face.

"Madam Yang must have gathered everyone together beforehand and drank the poison..." The guard was a little terrified: "There is only a package pressed against a stone in the yard. Inside is a letter..."

The guard presented a letter with both hands.

On it, there are a few beautiful small characters: "Old Marshal Qiu personally entrusts it."

Qiu Jianhan's eyes turned red, and he took it with trembling hands, directly tore off the seal, and unfolded it for a look.

"Uncle Shi, my niece bid farewell today. It is enough for my niece to be a heroic wife for half her life; I feel that I did not embarrass my parents. At the last moment, I will never be a criminal woman."

"May I die with glory and live without disgrace!"

"My niece doesn't know about Yang Botao's matter. Uncle Shi, please don't be ashamed of your niece. In front of the graves of parents, please ask Uncle Shi to tell the difference."

"Unfilial girl knocks goodbye!"

Qiu Jianhan's hands trembled, tears streaming down his face.

This is the daughter left by the brother who died on the battlefield that year...

In my life, the last sentence left is to defend myself: I don't know! If I knew, there must be another result.

I have not failed you.

I didn't feel sorry for my parents.

I'm not sorry Yu Tang.

Leng Daoyin leaned over his head to have a look, sighed deeply, and said in a deep voice, "It must be the child that Sanlang left behind..."

Qiu Jianhan burst into tears.

"Clean up and report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible."

Just that afternoon.

The decree came out.

Yang Botao's collusion with the enemy and traitorous country, his crime is unforgivable, he murdered Jiu Zun, resulting in the death of Jiu Zun, and the empire was in turmoil... Order, punish the Jiu Clan! If the escaped prisoner is discovered, everyone can punish him! Anyone who reports the whereabouts of the Yang thief will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and whoever kills the Yang thief will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and ten thousand households!

That's basically what it means.

The Northern Army was completely reorganized from top to bottom.

His Majesty the Emperor personally issued a decree: Marshal Tie Zheng of the East Road is allowed to be transferred to the North Road with the accompanying officers! The former Marshal of the East Road was temporarily held by the Deputy Marshal of the East Army.

This deployment is a no-brainer. The North Route Army is currently in a state of disarray, and it must be reunited by a strong iron-blooded commander before it can be used. As for the entire Yutang Kingdom at this stage, apart from Tie Zheng, there is no second thought.

That night, Tie Zheng took a few personal guards and stepped into the barracks of the North Route Army.

As for Yang Botao's personal guards, they had already been controlled. Fortunately, these people were also honest and did not resist silently, which saved a lot of trouble.

As soon as Tie Zheng arrived, it must be these people who brought it up first!

At this moment, the northern military camp was shrouded in an atmosphere of unspeakable silence.

As far as he could see, what Tie Zheng saw was the endangered eyes of dying people, full of despair and sadness.

Yang Botao personally guarded five hundred people, all of them were there, and everyone was like this, full of death, this death did not belong to others, but to themselves.

"All members gather!" Tie Zheng strode in, and immediately shouted the order, the sound shook the audience.

At the sound of the order, although the five hundred people looked weary and their minds became more depressed, they still quickly gathered together after hearing the order; from this point, it can be seen that this group of people is the elite. Elite!

As the personal guard of the commander-in-chief of the first army, how can he be competent without considerable strength, loyalty, and awareness of order and prohibition!

In view of this, Tie Zheng couldn't help but become more determined in his previous decision, but still kept his face sullen, and walked to a high place to stand still.

He is already tall and tall, but he still likes to stand on high places. Now that he is condescending, he looks even taller. It seems that he is like an iron tower, standing tall.

"What are you all doing with your heads down?" Tie Zheng shouted angrily, "All of you raise your heads up!"

There was still silence below, and few people raised their heads as they said.

Tie Zheng snorted, and said, "Are you going to rebel? Didn't you hear the military order I just issued? Everyone has it. Stand up and look up. Everyone is looking at me!"

Military law is like a mountain!

Since Tie Zheng is the current supreme officer here, his order is a military order, and everyone present must execute it immediately without any hesitation!

With this order, five hundred people raised their heads and raised their heads, their eyes focused on Tie Zheng.

Whether the five hundred guards were willing or unwilling, at this moment, all they could see was the extremely mighty image of Tie Zheng.

"Pretty words, scaring words, I don't want to say more."

Tie Zheng said: "Although Yang Botao's crime is unforgivable, this person still has a bottom line, and he didn't bring anyone in the army with him at the last moment."

"No matter how sinful he is, how insane he is, how utterly devoid of conscience, if he didn't involve any of you in today's public trial, he finally has the last bit of conscience."

"As expected of a man."

Tie Zheng said: "You are his personal guards, this cannot be changed, but regarding the matter of Yang Botao's betrayal of the nine lords, I believe that none of you were involved in it, such things, he would never dare to pass your hands Finished, if it were me, I would definitely do it myself! This matter is too involved, no matter how much I trust you, I always have concerns. Therefore, this matter must be done by Yang Botao alone, and has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to You look like dead people, no one said what to do with you, after all, besides being Yang Botao's personal guards, you are also soldiers of the Northern Army, and even soldiers of the Yutang Army, this is also indisputable!"

As soon as Tie Zheng said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Now, I will give you the opportunity to choose freely. The first choice is: Those who are willing to follow Yang Botao, who will never leave or abandon life and death; you can be listed here, and I still will not pursue your joint and several responsibilities. I respect your emotions and Choose; but your military status must be revoked, and you will become a free man from now on, living and dying as you please."

"The second option, I, Tie Zheng, was ordered by the king to lead the northern army this time, and now I have only brought less than thirty people, so... I lack my own personal guards, who can accompany me to fight on the battlefield. If you are willing to choose to be my personal guards, I am willing to accept it. As for the final third choice, you are to remove your original status as personal guards, break up the organization, and belong to the The whole army, starting from the bottom, slowly prove their loyalty to the Yutang Empire on the battlefield!"

"I choose the third!" The general of the personal army raised his hand and said, "Join the army and start from the bottom!"

Tie Zheng's eyes brightened, and his eyes focused on the general.

He said "I", not us. This is tantamount to giving his other brothers a choice. After all, if you choose to become Tie Zheng's personal guard, you can also prove yourself.

After the first person spoke out about his choice, others came forward one after another and chose the third option.

In the end, 471 of the 500 people stood up, and they all chose the third place.

However, there were still twenty-nine people standing in place, their faces dull and dull.

Tie Zheng asked, "What is your choice?"

One of the tall men with scars all over his face stood up and said, "I'll choose the first one."

Tie Zheng's eyes froze immediately.

I don't know if it was because the scarred man spoke first, but the other twenty-eight people also said, "We also choose the first one."

Tie Zheng nodded slowly, and said: "Okay. Clerk, record these twenty-nine people, follow the normal discharge procedures, send them back to Panchuan, and lose their military status; they will leave the army from then on; Don't use the excuse of Yang Botao's personal guards to trouble them, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

"yes!"

"Thank you Tie Shuai!"

"I'm waiting here, no matter when or where I am, Yutang is in my heart, and the soul of the army is immortal. I just want to send Yang Shuai for the last time!"

There are some problems with the liver in the physical examination, so I can't stay up late and can't drink alcohol; I will take a three-month re-examination after recuperation. It's just a cyst at the moment, nothing serious, brothers don't worry.
