Chapter 161 The time is ripe
Outside the school grounds, everyone gradually dispersed to prepare for each department's own rewards and punishments.
Cheng Liang was walking when he was suddenly patted behind him. When he turned around, he saw Zhu Ye looking at him with a smile. There were Guan Yu, Zhang Yong, Cui Jun and Ye Xiang beside him.
"Hey, the second brother and the third brother survived the catastrophe, we brothers have to go celebrate!"
Zhang Yong also echoed: "Yes, I originally wanted to call my eldest brother, but my sister-in-law just sent someone to say that my slave was slightly ill, so he went back first."
When Cheng Liang heard this, he became a little anxious: "What? Our nephew is sick? Then we need to go and have a look."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. My eldest brother sent two doctors over. Everything will be fine. He said that we are busy with military affairs these days, and now we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He asked us to relax."
After listening to Zhang Yong's words, Cheng Liang sighed, but he couldn't help but cough a few times.
Guan Yu hurriedly asked: "It seems that the third brother's injury is more serious than we thought. It's better to go back and rest early. Later, let the two doctors transfer from the county house to give you a look. Open more."
Medicine is the best."
A mere thirty military sticks was nothing to them, not to mention that the soldiers responsible for the execution had deliberately reduced the strength. They said it was thirty sticks, but in reality it was probably not as strong as twenty sticks. And Cheng Liangben
Since he was injured, the executioner would naturally beat him more lightly.
Cheng Liang shook his head: "Hey, that's not necessary. These minor injuries are nothing at all, but...hey..."
He hesitated to speak, which made Guan Yu and others a little anxious.
At this time, Cui Jun, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"Haha, it's just that the three generals may have some thoughts in mind about today's punishment."
Cheng Liang seemed a little embarrassed when he was told what he was thinking.
Guan Yu immediately lowered his face and asked, "What? Is Gong Yi really so ignorant of right and wrong?"
When Cheng Liang saw that Guan Yu, who was also punished as he was, said this about him, he seemed to feel that something was wrong with him.
"Hey, how is that possible? Big brother has clear rewards and punishments. We all know that. How could we have any ideas?"
Guan Yu's face looked better now.
"That's the best."
Cui Jun smiled and said: "The third general is not unreasonable, but he has a bold personality and his understanding of military law and discipline is not as deep as my lord. That's why he misunderstood what happened today. I don't know what Jun said.
right?"
Cheng Liang saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he just talked about it.
"Hey, eldest brother wants to strictly enforce military discipline, and I, Old Cheng, have no problem with it. Last night, I encouraged my second brother to follow me out of the city to rob the camp. The cavalry brothers suffered heavy casualties. I, Old Cheng, should also fight, but I shouldn't hit my second brother! Besides, even if
If you are wrong, it is also our military affairs, why bother to beat them in front of those soldiers who have been demoted, and make my second brother and I feel so embarrassed, we will be thrown into our hometown."
When everyone heard it, it turned out that this was why he was unhappy, and they immediately felt dumbfounded.
"Third brother, you, how do you want second brother to say good things to you..."
Cui Jun smiled and said: "Third General, you don't know my lord's good intentions today. If he doesn't enforce military law in front of the thousands of surrendered soldiers today, then you and I will suffer a lot in the future."
, but it’s far more terrifying than these thirty army sticks.”
After saying this, even Guan Yu and others didn't understand Cheng Liang.
"What do you mean by the military advisor's words?" Guan Yu asked.
While they were talking, several people had arrived at the door of Cheng Liang's house, and Cheng Liang invited everyone inside to talk.
Cui Jun took a sip of water and said slowly.
"Have you ever thought about the fact that these surrendered soldiers are called rebels? In fact, what they have done these days has many similarities with thieves. They looted places and lost military discipline. It was all due to Taiping Dao's many years of kindness and Zhang Jiao.
Only by making a series of so-called promises to them after the change of dynasty can we maintain such military morale and fighting spirit."
Everyone nodded frequently, and they felt deeply about this.
"And there are so many of them. Now the number of people who can be recruited into the Anmin Army alone exceeds 2,000. The sudden joining of such a large number of stragglers is bound to have a great impact on the military discipline of our army. But as the saying goes, 'the law does not bear responsibility'
Everyone, if so many soldiers have violated military discipline, will they all be punished or even beheaded?"
When Cui Jun asked this question, everyone immediately fell into deep thought.
Cui Jun struck while the iron was hot and said: "So, my lord specially wants to stage such a scene today in front of everyone, and the person who is punished in this scene must have a high status, so as to be able to scare these surrendered soldiers and make them
You know that as long as military discipline is violated, even those close to the lord will never be able to escape responsibility."
Zhang Yong understood completely when he heard this.
"Wonderful! After punishing and establishing authority, we then promote and reward those who have made meritorious deeds. The ancients said, 'give both kindness and authority'. After such punishment and reward, the majesty of military discipline will be established in the hearts of most of the soldiers.
I definitely won’t dare to offend easily.”
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Hey, that's it. Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier, hey, it's my old Cheng Xiaojia who is angry. He deserves to be punished. It's a good punishment!"
Cheng Liang wiped away the depressed look on his face and laughed heartily.
At this time, Zhu Ye asked: "But, if the military advisor had not said those words at that time, the second brother and the third brother would be dead now. Could it be that the eldest brother had already guessed that the military advisor would stand up and plead for mercy?"
Cui Jun smiled mysteriously: "My lord is not a real god, how could he have guessed it? In fact, he summoned me to discuss this on the way to the school grounds after returning to the city. My lord is deeply in love with several brothers, how could it be possible?"
Are you really willing to kill you?"
This time everyone finally understood.
"Haha, it's me, Mr. Cheng, who is being stingy today. Come on, let's go find my eldest brother. I'll apologize to him. By the way, I also have to go and see how our eldest nephew is doing."
Everyone agreed repeatedly and were about to get up when they were stopped by Cui Jun again.
"Everyone, wait a minute, to be honest with you, the young master is not ill. It's just that the master is thin-skinned and feels that he can't stand up to the two generals today, so he is embarrassed to come out and wants me to explain everything and find out what's going on. As for the young master,
It's just that he asked his servants to come here specially to show off, so he could take the opportunity to slip away."
After speaking, he took out two medicine bottles from his arms.
"This is the golden sore medicine that my lord has specially prepared in advance. The two generals taught their wives to apply it on the beaten area on the back, and it will be cured in a few days. In addition, the two doctors that the lord found are not here to treat the young master.
He came here specifically for the internal injuries of the third general, and I am afraid he is already on his way here."
When Cheng Liang saw Liu He's arrangement, he felt extremely happy and proud.
"Hahaha, that's it. Let me just say, after all, it's the eldest brother who cares about us! Let's go and have a drink with him!"
"Hey, third brother is still injured, so it's best not to drink."
"Nonsense, this little injury is nothing. It won't be too late to heal tomorrow. Since you are happy today, you must drink and take a walk!"
Within a few days, more than 2,000 young and strong surrendered soldiers were incorporated into various departments of the Anmin Army, and the rest were also arranged. It happened that they had confiscated the properties of various powerful people and obtained large tracts of land, otherwise they would have been really stretched.
Qian Li specially selected more than 5,000 acres of paddy fields as military fields for the Anmin Army.
The planting of hundreds of vegetables that Liu Qian was personally responsible for has finally yielded results. More than thirty kinds of vegetables have been successfully grown. This is a real event worthy of celebration.
With such a guarantee, the Anmin Army's logistics will no longer have to worry about.
In these two days, a piece of news spread throughout the Khan states, shocking the world!
Taiping Road rebelled, Zhang Jiao's attack on Luoyang City was frustrated, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. The Yellow Turban Army appeared in You, Bing, Qing, Xu, Ji, Yan, Yu, Jing and other places, attacking various cities. Now there are dozens of them across the country.
The city was captured!
"The time has finally come!"
Liu He held in his hand an edict that had just been sent from Jinyang City. He squinted his eyes and looked northeast through the pouring rain outside, muttering to himself.
Chapter completed!
