Chapter 123: Public Opinion Orientation
Gangneung City Center, downtown area.
The surrounding sergeants stood in a square, with their sideburns disheveled, and the embarrassed rebel generals were kneeling down in bondage.
After a while, Liu Jia held a big knife in his hand and led the crowd to escort a group of old and young women who were powerless to come to the square, and slowly arrived at the square and besieged it.
At this moment, on the high platform, more than 100 armor soldiers are standing, on both sides are the generals wearing official uniforms or battle robes, on the main seat, is the county guard Mi Fang, and the side is Guan Ping.
Time passed minute by minute, the field was still silent, no one spoke, more than a dozen rebel generals knelt in the middle of the square and bowed their heads, as if in repentance.
Gradually, the number of people gathered around increased more and more, and soon, the news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and many people gathered one after another.
At this moment, the whole square was full of people and was covered by a sea of people.
After a long time, Guan Ping slowly raised his head, looked at the sky, and saw that noon was approaching, and couldn't help but turn to Mi Fang beside him, and arched his hand: "County guard, the time is almost up, let's start!" ”
Hearing this, Mi Fang also looked around, looked at the people gathered around him, was discussing, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! ”
As soon as these words fell, Guan Ping instantly straightened up, took a few steps forward, and then looked down, with a serious face, and said loudly: "Liu Jia, where is it!" ”
"The end will be."
"You, list the crimes of the traitors below, so that the people of the whole city will know what crimes they have committed."
"No."
At this time, Guan Ping showed anger, his words were firm, and he said coldly.
Yesterday night, because he took advantage of the night to return to the defense, let the Wu army secretly communicate two days ago, the loyal rebel generals were defenseless, so the Jingzhou soldiers in their sleep, they and their families were all captured.
Even the generals who escaped tried to run to the barracks to gather the old troops to resist stubbornly, but they were captured by Pound just after they arrived outside the camp, and there was no fish that slipped through the net!
Therefore, today, Guan Ping decided to publicly expose the crimes of the rebel generals in the trouble-making area of the city, in front of the people of the city, and even the soldiers of the whole army, and execute them to set an example.
This is not just as simple as executing them, but I want to warn those who are not firm in their minds through this group of rebel generals that if there are still those who dare to secretly communicate with the Wu army in the future, they will be killed without mercy.
When the order was passed, Liu Jia did not slack off, and hurriedly took out a written statement that had already been prepared from his arms, then jumped off the war horse and strode towards the center of the square.
After half a ring, Liu Jia stood on the central square, glared angrily, stared at the kneeling rebel general for a few moments, and then looked around at the people around him, and read aloud: "I am Guan Ping, the eldest son of the former general, after investigation, more than ten rebel generals in the army heard that the public security guard Shiren betrayed and threw the city into the Wu army that was attacking in a big way, so they were active and uncertain. ”
"Fortunately, on the way back to Jiangling, the general accidentally intercepted the letter of the rebel general secretly communicating with the Wu army, so the tragedy was avoided, otherwise, now all the soldiers of our army will become prisoners of traitors."
"The people of the whole city will also fall under the brutal rule of the Wu thieves, and they will be in dire straits."
"Therefore, this general and Nanjun County Shou Mi Fang jointly signed a meeting, and it was unanimously decided that the rebel generals who secretly communicated with the Wu army and brought to justice would be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon today, and all the family members in the family would be sent into slavery and handed over to the king of Hanzhong."
In the last paragraph of the proclamation, Liu Jia's tone was aggravated, and he said loudly: "Today's matter, I hope that the soldiers of the three armies and the people of the whole city will remember that in the future, anyone who secretly collaborates with the enemy army and eats inside and outside will be punished by capital punishment once discovered!" ”
"The family members in his family will inevitably implement the Zhulian Law, and if one person is guilty, the whole family will bear it."
"I hope everyone here must remember!"
A word fell loudly, and he couldn't help but order the sergeant to pass the letterhead that he had intercepted outside the city to the soldiers in formation, and circulated it in turn.
"Look, look, this is my elite scum in Jingzhou, who secretly conspired with Wu thieves and mutilated his comrades."
"Is it tolerable or unbearable!"
Suddenly, Liu Jia's angry shout came out, resounding in the square, and everyone around was vaguely heard, and then he waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Executive officer, execution." ”
The order was handed down, and in an instant, dozens of executioners rushed up, carrying the bound rebel generals to Xingtai.
At this moment, more and more people gathered around the square, and they couldn't help but hear the Zhulian Law just promulgated, and they suddenly felt a little shudder!
In the next second, everyone was also talking about it.
At this time, while marching towards Xingtai, several rebel generals were already becoming more and more afraid, and they couldn't help but shout heartbreakingly: "Ah, ah, I don't want to die!" ”
"Major General, the last general knows that he is wrong, please spare his life."
"Ah, young general, the villain will never secretly communicate with Wu thief again?"
"Ahh
For a while, the center of the square was silent at the moment, just filled with infinite roars and begging for mercy, extremely bullying and helpless!
It's a pity that the executioner didn't pay attention to it, and still forcibly dragged them towards Xingxingtai.
Above the high platform, Mi Fang, who was on the main seat, saw this scene, couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and said: "Major General Guan, now these rebel generals have already made mistakes, you can see if you can scare and scare, don't really kill them all." ”
When the words fell, Guan Ping couldn't help but look back, he was looking at Mi Fang, his face seemed to be smiling, and he said coldly after half a sound: "What, Mi Junshou, I thought that Ping was making such a big formation, just making another appearance?" ”
"Huh!"
With a sneer, Guan Ping's face changed, and he suddenly showed anger on his face, and shouted: "Since ancient times, there have been words first, the state has national laws, and the army has military regulations. ”
"If an army cannot strictly abide by military discipline, then what is the use of military law and military merits?"
"Such a soldier can only be reduced to a plate of scattered sand, a group of rabble, with no combat power at all, how can they become a powerful elite of a hundred battles?"
"This time, when several generals in our army heard that the enemy was coming, they did not want to stick to the city and repel the enemy army, but instead secretly communicated with the enemy army, and wanted to sell their comrades in exchange for their own glory and wealth."
"Such a scum, what's the use of keeping him, everyone should be punished!"
After a pause, Guan Ping's face was also gloomy, and his words worked harder, and he roared: "In ancient times, Shang Jun once said that the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people. ”
"Now, when such scum appears in our army, it should be severely punished with harsh military law, and with military discipline, how can it be forgiven?"
This speech, the words were firm and extremely high, as if it spread throughout the entire square, and the people around it were also faintly heard!
In the next second, on the square, the soldiers in the formation heard this, but their morale was high, and they shouted angrily: "Major General, well said." ”
"Such scum in the army, behead!"
"Chop, chop."
With the angry shouts of thousands of soldiers, the sound of the Dao Dao has completely resounded and hovered over the square, and the roar has not dissipated for a long time.
Seeing such a strong formation, the people around who were trying to see the excitement couldn't help but be shocked, and they were speechless!
was held for a long time, and when the number of generals was about to be dragged up the Xingtai platform, the rest of the generals were still roaring, but the general named Lao He suddenly rose up and flew the two executioners beside him.
Then, he picked up his knife and quickly cut the rope between his body, and flew to the bottom of the high platform.
This situation came extremely suddenly, and after half a sound, Liu Jia behind him was instantly furious, shouting angrily: "Quick, catch him, be sure to stop him from escaping!" ”
The order was passed down, and the armor soldiers who were originally standing around stepped forward one after another, chasing the general.
In the middle of the sound, the general ran to the high platform first, his face was sad and angry, and he shouted: "Young General, since you said that we are secretly communicating with the Wu army, we will be sentenced to death." ”
"The last general dares to ask, have we really colluded with the Wu army and surrendered the city to Shun?"
"On the contrary, you wait, take advantage of the night to knock on the door of our mansion and capture us, will we still sleep in the mansion in peace after colluding with Wu Jun?"
For a while, this person's words were intense, and the people outside the venue were also vaguely heard.
In the next second, as expected, the people's doubts also came.
"Major General, since you said that the rebel generals secretly communicated with the Wu army, what are their faults?"
"Although there is proof on letterhead, it does not show that they are colluding with the Wu army and are about to raise the city to surrender."
The voice came out slowly, and the people spontaneously questioned.
At this time, Deng Ai, who was standing on the side, heard this, and couldn't help frowning, and secretly said that it was not good.
Now, most of the people of the city have gathered here, and if they cannot be convinced by the beheading of the rebels, it will inevitably cause panic and danger in the city.
This will be extremely unfavorable for the next battle to defend the city.
But if they don't behead the rebels, it will be a disaster for them to stay, and if they can't keep it at the critical moment, there will be problems.
If it is killed, with the letterhead intercepted now, it will not be enough.
After all, although the evidence is conclusive, these generals are indeed suspected of secretly communicating with the Wu army.
But in fact, the Wu army had not yet attacked in a big way, they said that they would sacrifice the city, but before they could take action, they were wiped out.
There was no actual betrayal, just by killing on letterhead, Deng Ai felt that it was difficult to convince the people of the city!
Therefore, thinking of this, he couldn't help but straddle over and arch his hand: "Major General, this ......"
Hearing this, Guan Ping looked calm and smiled lightly: "Don't care, today I will definitely execute the rebels and cut them to the roots." ”
Just kidding, Guan Ping painstakingly set up this scheme, in order to correct the people in the center of the city, so as to take the opportunity to eradicate them and avoid future troubles.
By now, these rebels have completely turned their faces, and even if they are forgiven, they will not be grateful to Dade, but must always be on guard and on guard.
As soon as these words fell, the discussion on the periphery of the square was endless, slowly expanding, and many people began to participate, asking Guan Ping to give them a reasonable explanation.
Seeing this, the general under the high platform couldn't help but sneer, and a smile rose in his heart.
This is his survival strategy, using public opinion to force Guan Ping.
At this moment, the generals on the high platform also began to wait worriedly, not knowing how Guan Ping was going to end.
After waiting for half a ring, seeing that the voices of the people began to weaken, Guan Ping held his head high, walked down the high platform step by step, and stood proudly on the central square, looking at many people.
