Marshal Mo stepped forward and gave a simple military salute, "Ahem, we were ordered by the emperor to regain the lost territory here, not to ask for these things from you, your food is also fortunate to be earned, give us what do you eat?" Besides, it took us four years to take this place back, and we failed to live up to your expectations, so how can we say thank you? ”

Several old men who said something were in tears, and immediately fell to the ground, and Marshal Mo hurriedly stepped forward to help everyone.

The old man said: "Marshal Mo, I have long heard of Marshal Mo's personality, I used to think that it was praised, but now I know that it is more than that!" ”

Another old man also chimed in: "Exactly, the old man is fortunate to see Marshal Mo, and he has no regrets in this life!" ”

Marshal Mo smiled: "What did the elder brother say, I just have one more title than you, and one more responsibility, come here, take a few people down to rest first, and talk to a few people when the marshal finishes handling the matter." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Qing and the others, "You violated military discipline and acted in private, although you regained the lost ground because of your recklessness, but Ben Shuai can't punish you lightly!" ”

General Tang jumped out and pleaded: "Marshal Mo, please also ask Marshal Mo to give a light punishment if the children are still young and have all the merits!" This time, if it weren't for the call of General Su and General Mu, the other party would not have faced the battle, and they would not have been able to achieve such a big victory. Also, if it weren't for Xiao Xiao and Mo Xiao to blow up the covered city wall of Northern Qi, Northern Qi would not have been forced to retreat to the Jiehe! ”

At this time, General Mo also said: "Yes, there is also Gu Tianxiao." If he hadn't caused a landslide on the mountain road without hesitation, how could he have cut off the back road of Northern Qi so easily? Gu Tianxiao is a subordinate of General Su, he went on the order of General Su, marshal, you should remember a few children for a great achievement! ”

Marshal Mo hesitated a little after hearing this, and he said for a long time: "Ben Shuai naturally knows that they are meritorious, Ben Shuai is not a person who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, but their merits and faults cannot be commended. Ben Shuai said that they were not allowed to go. But they acted secretly in private. If you treat military orders as if they are nothing, if this mistake can be easily forgiven, what is the use of military regulations? ”

The generals hung their heads, and of course some were happy. Some people are genuinely worried about Su Qing.

"Marshal. Generals. Can you allow the old people to say a word? ”

After hearing the voice, Marshal Mo turned his head, and only then did he see that a few old men were still there!

Marshal Mo was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the people on the side. The man explained: "The subordinates did ask a few old gentlemen to go to the tent to rest first, but a few old gentlemen said that they still have something very important to say to the marshal, subordinates..."

"Okay, it's none of your business, you go back first, and keep your post." Marshal Mo knew that the soldiers could not be blamed.

"Yes!"

"It's because my majesty is not effective, but it makes a few old brothers laugh, but I don't know what important things my brother wants to say?"

Several old men hurriedly knelt on their knees, "I just heard the marshal say that these four children have violated military regulations?" Lao Yu and the others also knew that this was a major event in the army, and they shouldn't have asked about it, but they just listened to General Tang and another general, these children were the heroes of this victory, forgive the old man for his ignorance, I don't understand, since they are heroes, why does the marshal want to deal with them? ”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that this old man was not a blind person, he at least knew Braille, maybe not a lot, but it was definitely much stronger than ordinary people, General Tang was happy in his heart, he didn't find the wrong person!

Marshal Mo was a little embarrassed, but soon said: "When they were in the regular meeting of the army before, several of them had made this request, although this is indeed a good suggestion, but the people of Northern Qi will definitely use these words to hit morale, plus they are still young, this marshal considered that they are the pillars of the future, so he disagreed, rejected their proposal, who knew that they actually acted in private, this is against military regulations, they are all behind the gate, they should understand military orders, otherwise how can they serve the public in the future?" ”

These words were impassioned, although they punished Su Qing and others, but they were also for them, and at the same time, they also corrected the military regulations and warned everyone, no matter who they are, if they violate the military law, they will be dealt with according to the military regulations, even if you have made meritorious contributions, you will be punished!

The people don't understand the power of this, but they can understand a little, although Marshal Mo wants to punish these children, but Marshal Mo values such children very much, and after understanding this, several old men became bold again.

As long as Marshal Mo values a few children, they will not be disgusted by Marshal Mo when they speak for the children.

So they pleaded for the children one after another, "Although the military order is like a mountain, Marshal Mo also said, you are not a person who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, and now the children have merit, and they say that they have to be punished, what is the reason?" ”

They haven't read the book, even the old man who has read it is just a skin, and he doesn't understand too deep the truth at all, so he can only grasp what Marshal Mo said about the clear rewards and punishments to intercede, since the rewards and punishments are clear, meritorious service should be rewarded, and there should be punishment, and now they are to be punished, when will the merit be rewarded?

Marshal Mo was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of this question, General Tang and General Mo immediately echoed when they saw this: "Yes, Marshal, you have always had clear rewards and punishments, although the four of them have had them, but in fact their merits are greater than their faults, even if you really have to be punished, please be merciful to your subordinates, they are all small, and a hundred military sticks are crippled if they don't die!" ”

At the beginning, Marshal Mo set a hundred military sticks, and then expelled from the barracks!

This is all a way to deal with it openly, because the military regulations they violated were the most serious one.

Those who serve in the army should be absolutely obedient, and if they fail to do this, they are not qualified to continue to stay in the barracks!

The old men heard a hundred military sticks! If a hundred military sticks really hit a few children, let alone a hundred, even fifty may kill them!

Where is this lenient punishment?

"Marshal, I heard that our Jing Dynasty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, benevolence, is magnanimous, several little generals are meritorious people, marshal, even if they are wrong, they should be punished lightly, which is in line with the purpose of Jing Dynasty governing the country!"

Marshal Mo was obviously stunned, the minds of the people were generally simpler, and it shocked Marshal Mo that they could say these words, because he didn't expect to hear these things from the mouths of ordinary people!

It's not that Marshal Mo looks down on the people, but because these old men are honest farmers at first glance, and even if one of them has read a book, at most he is a thousand-character text, a three-character scripture, etc., and his learning will not be very deep, so they are naturally surprised that they can say this.

General Tang and Marshal Mo were also shocked, and then General Tang said: "Yes, marshal, my subordinates think that what the old gentleman said is right, although several junior generals have violated military regulations, but they should have been compromised because they have made such a great contribution and the sentence will be reduced, otherwise those who don't know will say that the marshal is not!" Moreover, the soldiers of the three armies can't bear to see it, they have done such a great contribution to the country, but they were punished like that, which chills the hearts of the soldiers! ”

Marshal Mo pursed his lips, then looked at the soldiers of the three armies, and asked for a while: "Soldiers, what do you think?" If you agree to be punished lightly, then the commander will punish them lightly today. ”

The soldiers didn't speak at first, but after a while, a few generals spoke: "The subordinates feel that the little general is not at fault, and they should not be punished!" ”

As soon as these people spoke, the others also agreed one after another, and finally reached an agreement, agreeing that Su Qing should not be punished and should be rewarded.

Marshal Mo pondered for a while and said: "Okay, since the soldiers all think so, this marshal will not drive you out of the barracks today, nor will he punish the military sticks, these punishments will be remembered first, if you commit it again next time, you will not be forgiven!" ”

Everyone was happy when they heard it, who knew that Marshal Mo's words changed: "Although you are meritorious, but it is also a fact that you have been, this marshal said that if you are not punished, you will not regret it, but you despise military regulations so much, you are not suitable to be a junior general, this marshal today degraded you from the patrol army, what position you can be promoted to depends on your own!" ”

It sounds like a punishment, but Su Qing and they know that this is actually the best.

Now even if they become generals, others will poke their backbones and say that they relied on their military merits to sit on the position of generals, and it is difficult to convince the public, now let them start from the patrol, and in the future, they will ascend to the position of generals, and the generals will definitely surrender!

Because they rely on their own efforts, and not on the shadow of their families, their ancestors!

After Su Qing, Xiao Hansu, Mo Xu and Mu Yuchen thanked them, they gave a military salute to the generals, soldiers and old men who interceded for them to express their gratitude, and then returned to their camp tents and changed into the clothes of the patrol guards to report for duty!
