The mountains are undulating, the clouds are stacked, sometimes angry and sometimes calm, and the clouds are like the rolling of the sea. Under the cliff, the waves of the sea, the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist, like the flying peaks in the clouds, floating, like the islands in the sea, it is so quiet. Luo Bin's army marched here, looking at the towering peak, it was so steep, in front of them was a narrow mountain road, and the other road was relatively flat. Luo Bin stopped in place and hesitated, and the second stunned man stepped forward and looked at the mountain road ahead side by side with Luo Bin.

"General, why don't you keep going?"

"The mountains here are steep and the roads are narrow, if the enemy sets up an ambush here, our army will be completely annihilated, now there are two roads in front of us, the first is this narrow mountain road, along this road through the county seat of Cangping County, is a shortcut. The second is to bypass these mountains, the road is relatively flat, it is not suitable to set up ambushes, but it takes three days to get to the county seat of Cangping County, it is a long road. ”

"Well, General, there may be an ambush on this narrow mountain road, so we should bypass these mountains and continue to march forward."

In order to welcome the Lord Qincha sent by the imperial court, the magistrates of Cangping County began to clear the streets early in the morning, renovating the houses on both sides of the streets, and driving out the vegetable vendors or merchants on both sides of the street to the outside of the city. The governor took the local governors of Cangping County out of the city gate to greet them, and looked from afar at the ministers who were waiting for the imperial court to send them to quell the chaos.

Luo Bin and his army arrived outside the city of Cangping, and from a distance outside the city gate, the magistrates of Cangping County stood in front of the city gate to greet their arrival, and Luo Bin rode a high-headed horse in front of these magistrates.

"We are here to greet Lord Chincha, and the governor leads these magistrates to kneel.

Luo Bin dismounted and stood in front of them and said, "Everyone, please get up." ”

The governor led these magistrates to stand up, stepped forward and looked at Luo Bin and said, "The lower officials will prepare some wine banquets for Lord Qincha, catch the wind for your lordship, and ask Lord Qincha to appreciate his face." ”

"There is no need for a wine banquet, the prince advocates frugality, so there is no need to be so extravagant. Tomorrow, we will go to the county hall to discuss how to put down the bandits, and those who do not come or are late will be dealt with according to military law. ”

"What Lord Qincha taught me is that the lower officials have written it down."

Above the county hall, local officials from Cangping County gathered here. Luo Bin and Erzi stood outside the county yamen, looked at the county yamen, and then entered. The magistrates of Cangping County collectively stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Lord Qincha." ”

"Everyone, are you all here?" Luo Bin stepped forward and sat at the desk, looking at the local official road under the county government hall.

"Lord Zhou Mufan hasn't arrived yet."

"Okay, this official is here waiting for Lord Fan to come," Luo Bin stood up and walked out of the county hall and stood in the courtyard. The local officials of Cangping County walked out and stood behind Luo Bin, in front of them was the sundial, Luo Bin looked at the sun rising in the east, looked at the light of the sun shining on the shadow of the sundial needle on the sundial surface, and then looked at the scale on the sundial face, the shadow of the sundial needle pointed to the position of the three quarters of the hour.

At the mansion of Lord Fan, Lord Fan gathered all the guests to his house to drink and have fun, and one of the guests stepped forward and said, "Lord Fan, it's already the hour, aren't you afraid that Lord Luo will blame you?" ”

"What is he? Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, he only said some nice things in front of the prince, the prince will use him, a literati can only talk about what strategy can be on paper, just don't go. The literati can only play some lip service, and on the actual battlefield, it is necessary for our brothers to work hard with real guns, can he do it? This official is Wang Xiangguo's nephew, does he dare to touch me? The official went to give him a face," Master Fan picked up the wine bottle and looked at these guests with his head held high and said, "Come, come, let's drink." ”

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and Luo Bin looked at the sundial needle and said, "Okay, let's not wait for Master Fan, and enter the lobby with this official to discuss the strategy of leveling the bandits." ”

At this time, Lord Zhou Mu Fan was drunk, staggered into the gate of the county government, walked in front of Luo Bin and saluted: "Lord Luo, this official is late and invites Haihan." After speaking, he stood upright and walked into the lobby without waiting for Luo Bin to speak, and sat in front of the desk next to him. After Lord Fan walked into the county hall, he looked out of the hall, and the magistrate of Cangping County stood up and saluted, "Lord Fan." ”

"Polite, please take a seat, please take a seat."

After Luo Bin walked in, he looked around, and neither Lord Mufan nor the magistrate of Cangping County took him seriously. The second stunned man stood aside and looked at Luo Bin, Luo Bin's face was not very good-looking at this time, and it was so quiet in the lobby.

"Ladies and gentlemen, bandits are rampant in Cangping County, and the people are uneasy, what are your plans?"

Lord Fan opened his drunken eyes slightly, his eyes were blurred, his head was dizzy, he shook his head and looked at the magistrates next to him, these magistrates looked at Lord Fan, it seemed that they had no good plan in their hearts, only to count on this Lord Fan. Master Fan stood up and staggered out, burping on the smell of alcohol.

"Fire attack, the shade of the trees in the mountains is luxuriant, and when the drought burns the mountains on all sides, the people in the village will be panicked, and we will guard all the main roads and wipe them out."

The county magistrate stood up and said, "Lord Fan's plan is very good," the magistrates of Cangping County coaxed together. Lord Fan looked at the magistrate behind him, and looked at Luo Bin in the lobby arrogantly.

"Fan Zhong, why are you late?"

"The official is drinking with his guests in the mansion, and he has to be late."

Luo Bin looked at the officials on both sides and said, "Someone's coming, drag Fan Zhong out to sober up." ”

"Luo Bin, you are so bold, this official is the nephew of Xiang Wang Rong, as long as Xiang Guo's words are spoken, you will be crushed in an instant, do you know? It's too late to regret it now. ”

"Drag it out," the officials on both sides stepped forward and escorted Fan Zhong out of the lobby, and Fan Zhong said when he walked out: "Luo Bin, Luo Bin, don't regret it." ”

When Fan Zhong entered the lobby again, his whole body was already wet, like a chicken in soup. Luo Bin looked at Fan Zhong and said, "Are you awake now?" ”

"Wake up," Fan Zhong was unconvinced in his heart, tilting his head to the side and raising it high, still looking at no one in his eyes.

"Someone's coming, drag Fan Zhong out and behead him."

"My lord, I don't know what crime I committed?"

"There are three sins: first, you despise the court, the king and the prince, and the court; Second, you are arrogant and despise the generals, and the king disdains them, so you break the contract; Third, if you drink and indulge without restraint, rude and rude, if you don't kill you, it's not enough to look at the importance of the king's law, if you don't kill you, it's not enough to boost the morale of the army, how can you suppress the bandits and quell the chaos if the army's morale is weak? These three sins are the crimes of great disrespect, where is the law? ”

Fa Cao stood up and said: "The lower official is here." ”

"What are these three sins?"

"Chop."

"Someone's coming, drag it out and cut it down."

"My lord, the lower official is guilty, and when he sees Xiangguo's face, he will spare the lower official," Fan Zhong was frightened at this time, and broke out in a cold sweat.

"There is no joke in military law, drag out and behead the public, if you don't agree in advance, don't attack when you hear the drums, take the opportunity to stay, have problems and stop moving, start to move forward and then lag behind, call your name should not be, there is no armor, and the weapon is not prepared, this is called light, and those who have such behavior will be beheaded; Receiving orders without conveying them, conveying them carefully, making the soldiers confused, not obeying the orders of the golden drum, not looking at the instructions of the banner, this is called slowness, and those who have such behavior will be beheaded; They do not store food, they do not deploy soldiers when they are stationed, they distribute their rewards unfairly, they favor their cronies, they take what belongs to them, they do not repay their loans, they rob others of their heads, and they use this to invite merit, this is called piracy, and those who do this will be beheaded; Change of name and surname, untidy clothes, unprepared golden drums, unsharpened blades, unrested weapons, arrows without feathers, bows and crossbows without bows, from officials to soldiers do not obey the decree, this is called bullying, those who have such behavior, beheaded; Hearing the drumming and not attacking, Mingjin not collecting troops, not falling according to the flag, raising the flag and not standing, not obeying the command, not moving forward in the back, releasing arrows at will, indiscriminate behavior, losing the power of the crossbow, not daring to fight, sometimes running away under the pretext of an excuse, this is called carrying the army, and those who have such behavior will be beheaded; When the soldiers are about to go out, the soldiers rush forward, they are disturbed, there is chaos, the cavalry colludes with each other, blocking the road, the troops behind cannot move forward, shouting and shouting, noisy and walking, there is no rank, the order is chaotic, the blades accidentally injure others, the officers do not manage, the upper and lower vertical and horizontal chaos, this is called the chaotic army, those who have such behavior, behead; The soldiers camped, inquired about their fellow villagers, stayed close to each other, ate together, vouched for each other, did not listen to greetings, trespassed into other people's positions, disrupted the order, did not listen to the prohibitions of others, did not enter and exit through the door, did not ask for leave from their superiors, and did not report the occurrence of adulterous things, and did not report the knowledge of them, and the responsibility was the same.
