In the military tent of Zhou Ba, the first banner commander of the Qinghe Army, more than a dozen banner battalion-level officers stood in silence, pleading for Liu Changshan one after another.
"Master Banner Leader, Brother Liu desperately put his life and death aside when retreating, and he didn't embarrass our First Banner Regiment."
"Brother Liu has repeatedly made military exploits. This time he was defeated by the enemy's plot. I beg you to spare him this time."
The chiefs and staff members of the various banner battalions all spoke up one after another, pleading for Liu Changshan, the commander of the defeated second banner battalion.
"Brothers, I failed the trust of the general and the head of the banner, and let so many brothers die. I deserve death. I appreciate your kindness."
Liu Changshan, the battalion commander of the Second Banner, was deeply moved when he saw so many brothers pleading for him.
But he is also clear that he has caused a serious loss this time, and ten thousand deaths cannot atone for his sin.
"What are you trying to do, rebellion?!"
Zhou Ba's fierce eyes passed over the faces of the banner battalion commanders, deputy banner battalion commanders, and chief of staff one by one, and asked coldly.
"I don't dare to wait, so I ask the head of the banner to calm down."
Facing Zhou Ba's cold questioning, Banner Battalion Commander Wang Mingyang and the others also had a serious look on their faces, and spoke one after another.
"Master Banner, since so many brothers pleaded for Battalion Commander Liu Qi, why don't we give him a chance to redeem himself for his hard work?"
At this time, the Chief of Staff of the First Banner Regiment saw that it was almost done, so he opened his mouth slowly.
The chief of staff of the First Banner Regiment is also the president of the Civil and Military Association of the First Banner Regiment, and his speech is much more important than that of Wang Mingyang and other banner battalion commanders.
Zhou Ba glanced at Liu Changshan and the banner battalion commanders standing there, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to get off the donkey and nodded slightly.
"Liu Changshan, are you convicted?"
Zhou Ba stared at Liu Changshan who was full of guilt and asked in a cold voice.
"I will be convicted at the end."
"It's good that you know the crime."
Zhou Ba said coldly: "For the sake of the chief of staff pleading for you, I will give you a chance this time. If you commit the crime again in the future, I will show no mercy!"
After hearing Zhou Ba's words, Wang Mingyang and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that Liu Changshan's fate was saved.
"From now on, you will be revoked from the position of commander of the Second Banner Battalion and downgraded to a general with thousands of soldiers. I hope you will take care of yourself."
Liu Changshan thought that he was bound to die, but now he heard that Zhou Ba had only demoted himself, so he was stunned on the spot.
"Why, are you not satisfied with my punishment?"
Seeing Liu Changshan standing still and not responding, Zhou Ba couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Thank you, Master Banner, for not killing me! From now on, I, Liu Changshan, will go through fire and water to fight the enemy bravely, so as to strengthen my Qinghe army!"
Liu Changshan reacted quickly, and expressed his thanks in a hurry while being overjoyed.
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank the brothers who pleaded for you and the Chief of Staff." Zhou Ba curled his lips and said.
"Thank you, Chief of Staff, thank you brothers."
Liu Changshan walked through the gate of hell, seeing so many people pleading for him, he is also sincerely grateful now.
"Liu Changshan, the incident this time is over. I hope you don't have to be burdened with thoughts. Know your shame and be brave. Get up wherever you fall. Don't let the general down."
Zhou Ba spared the life of Liu Changshan, the commander of the Banner Battalion, by borrowing the donkey from the slope. Seeing Liu Changshan's excited appearance, the Chief of Staff of the Banner Corps also said a few more words.
"Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, I will keep in mind what I said today." Liu Changshan said respectfully.
"In view of the fact that the Second Banner Battalion has lost its combat effectiveness, it will withdraw from the battlefield from now on and wait for repairs in Changze Town."
After Liu Changshan thanked everyone in the military tent one by one, Zhou Ba spoke slowly.
The 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Banner Battalion were directly disabled after this battle.
Thinking of those brothers who died in battle, Liu Changshan, the commander of the Banner Battalion, looked sad. This was all caused by his command mistakes.
?But now the done thing is done, self-blame is useless, as the chief of staff said, there is no such thing as shame and courage.
"Okay, let's go, what should we do?"
Zhou Ba, the head of the flag group, issued an order to evict the guests, and everyone bid farewell and left one after another.
"Master Banner, I thought you were really going to kill Liu Changshan just now."
? Wait until everyone files out and leaves.??, the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ba waved his hands and said with a smile: "Although Liu Changshan has just lost the battle, he was not bad when fighting in battle. He took the initiative to lead people to kill him, and he didn't embarrass our Qinghe Army. How could I kill him?"
"Besides, victory or defeat is a common matter in military strategists, even if I am not sure that I will always win the battle."
Zhou Ba sat down and said: "The general also often warns us that as a general in command, although we must be decisive when fighting in battle, we must also have a compassionate heart, otherwise, we will become a cold-blooded Bloodthirsty monster."
"I think the general will be pleased that the head of the banner can think so." The chief of staff couldn't help but praise.
"I was just a king of the mountain at the beginning. The general forgave me and entrusted me with important tasks to make me what I am today. I can't let the general down, right?"
At the beginning, Zhou Ba was just a mountain king with narrow vision, but after following Chen Ziang, he continued to grow.
It can be said that Zhou Ba's ability to become the commander of the second army's strongest infantry flag regiment is inseparable from his own efforts.
"After experiencing what happened today, Battalion Commander Liu Qi will surely realize his shame and be brave. I am very grateful to you, Commander Banner."
"It doesn't matter what you are grateful for, as long as he can learn his lesson and don't stumble in the same place next time."
"They were promoted to the banner battalion commander smoothly, and now they lead thousands of brothers. It has been too smooth. It's good to let them suffer this time, maybe they can go further."
After hearing Zhou Ba's words, the Chief of Staff nodded in agreement.
Because under the command of Chen Ziang, the far-sighted army commander, their entire Second Army went relatively smoothly without any major failures.
But sometimes it is not good to go too smoothly, because it will make people become impetuous and proud.
If they encounter a little difficulty and setback in the future, they may become at a loss, or even lose a big battle, and may suffer a devastating blow.
If you can occasionally experience some setbacks and sum up some experience in facing difficulties and setbacks, then you will be able to stand more firmly in the face of bigger storms, and you will not be overturned all at once.
"We underestimated the enemy this time. There is also a unit in the 20th Corps of the Dynasty Civilian Army that is not weak. Send people to interrogate the prisoners. I need to know their situation."
Although Zhou Ba frightened the banner battalion commander Liu Changshan once and let him learn a lesson, he also did not forget the reason why they suffered this time.
They felt that the 20th Corps of the People's Army was a group of rabble. Who knew that the other party also had a strong combat force, which made them suffer a dark loss this time.
The so-called knowing yourself, knowing the enemy, and winning every battle, Zhou Ba is also eager to know the situation of this civilian army with a strong fighting force, so that he can take countermeasures. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
