Yuan Zongdi's mouth seemed to have been shining. Ten days later, Liu Xingming indeed returned to the capital of Yerkang.

But what surprised everyone was that Liu Xingming only brought back a few hundred people.

You should know that when he led his troops to fight, there were at least 5,000 people, but this time, nine out of ten were unexpected.

Liu Tichun was the first to be stunned.

However, the most important thing for the son to come back alive is that other things are simply insignificant.

"Xingming, what's going on?"

Of course, Liu Tichun still needs to ask the truth.

As for the current situation, it must have been a big accident in the middle that such a big loss occurred.

"Oh, old brother, look at Xingming like this, you have to let him take a break."

Seeing Liu Tichun's anxious look, Yuan Zongdi stepped forward a few steps and stopped Liu Tichun in front of him.

"Big nephew, don't blame your father, he is too anxious. Drink a sip of water first to moisten your throat."

After saying that, Yuan Zongdi handed a water bag to Liu Xingming.

Liu Xingming cast a grateful look at him, then took the water bag and tilted his neck and poured it down.

Seeing this, Yuan Zongdi hurriedly said, "Big nephew, please drink slowly, don't worry. Don't choke."

Liu Tichun's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything. After all, what Yuan Zongdi said was basically reasonable, and he really shouldn't have forced Liu Xingming to ask what happened at this time. When Liu Xingming took a break, he would definitely tell him without hiding it.

Sure enough, after a while of rest, Liu Xingming wiped the water droplets on his mouth and sighed: "Dad, it's the Junggar barbarian. His son encountered the attack from the Junggar barbarian."

Liu Tichun's heart immediately skipped a beat.

Although he had guessed eight or nine points, he felt completely different when he said it from Liu Xingming.

After all, this is the first time Liu Xingming has led his troops in the true sense.

Before, Liu Xingming had commanded less than a thousand people, and at most he was a small fight.

This time, the commander of so many people was defeated in the first time he went to the army, which was a bit bleak.

What will the King of Jin look at him like this? What will Zhu look at him? What will the soldiers look at him?

Although basically the generals of the Ming army were Liu Xingming's elders and they all watched him grow up, they were not such a guardian.

If Liu Xingming is really not good at fighting and cannot support the mud, then even the generals of Kuidong will be of no use.

"Ahem..."

Seeing that Liu Tichun's mentality had collapsed, Yuan Zongdi hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over and said, "Big nephew, your father doesn't understand the situation at that time. Tell me carefully what happened. Our Ming army shouldn't be at a disadvantage. Did the Junggar barbarians use fraud?"

Speaking of this, it is actually just to find a way out for Liu Xingming.

Yuan Zongdi's meaning was to let Liu Xingming go astray, but Liu Xingming couldn't see how Liu Xingming could not see it.

He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the Junggar barbarian pretended to be defeated and fled, so I led my troops out to pursue. Unexpectedly, their troops were far more powerful than I saw at the beginning, and they rushed out from all directions to siege. If I hadn't led my troops to fight to kill a way out, I would have been trapped there by them."

Liu Xingming said it was heartbroken, but when Liu Tichun heard it, it was a sign of incompetence.

After all, his son is from a general, even if he has never eaten pork, he should have seen pig run away?

Do you don’t understand the principle of not pursuing the enemy?

It makes no sense.

"How many times have I told you that you are not good at being careless or careless. As the commander, every decision you make is not only about yourself, but about everyone. Why don't you understand?"

Liu Tichun raised his hand high and was about to scream, and Yuan Zongdi quickly blocked in the middle.

"Old brother, calm down. Xingming is also eager to make contributions. He has no experience, which is not a normal thing. If he handles things without any flaws, he will not be a young boy in his early twenties. Should you say that he is angry again?"

"Old Yuan, that's not what he said. As the head coach, I'm so aggressive that I'll teach him a lesson even if I don't get ambushed."

Liu Tichun was unreasonable and pointed at Liu Xingming and said, "You go to His Highness King Jin to apologize today. I will deal with you when I come back."

Liu Xingming knew that he could not escape the fight today, so he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Tichun.

"Thank you, Mr. Father. My son apologizes to His Highness King Jin. Then he waits for his father to give up."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the house.

Liu Tichun looked at Liu Xingming's back and felt very helpless.

It is a good thing for young people to suffer a little.

But this time, Liu Xingming's fall into trouble was too big, right?

Liu Tichun was afraid that his son would never stand up again after he fell down.

...

...

Liu Xingming knelt down in front of Li Dingguo, counting his sins with heartache.

He really regretted it. Why did he get up and why did he order to pursue it without any scruples?

This is a taboo in military strategists. He is very clear about this after the general.

But at that moment he was as if he had been deposed, and had no reason at all.

He deserves this crushing defeat.

Li Dingguo had a cold face and hadn't said a word for a long time.

He has always regarded Liu Xingming as his nephew, but now Liu Xingming has committed such a serious crime. If Li Dingguo did not punish him severely, he would definitely gossip in the army.

Li Dingguo strictly disciplined his son, not to mention Liu Xingming.

Just looking at Liu Tichun's face, Li Dingguo could not directly punish Liu Xingming for his death penalty.

After thinking about it, I can also make a slap.

After thinking through the key points, Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Since you already know that you have made a big mistake, I will naturally deal with it according to military rules. I want to make contributions before you, so I will beat you fifty military sticks this time."

The fifty military sticks said that there are not many more, but there are not many more.

In other words, Liu Xingming is a young boy in his early twenties.

If it were a veteran in his forties or fifties, he would not have been able to withstand this violent beating.

But Liu Xingming had no intention of defending himself at all, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your fulfillment."

In fact, he felt very sorry.

After all, basically all the people he took out were his confidants, but less than 10% came back alive.

Liu Xingming's heart is also full of flesh, so he naturally feels very heartbroken.

Self-blame and guilt make him unable to sleep. Perhaps only once he was severely punished can he relieve this feeling slightly.

"I also act according to the rules. But don't worry, I will not have any prejudice against you because of this incident. Go and receive punishment."

Li Dingguo waved his hand.
