Chapter 280: I Talk About the Army
In just half a day, the prefect of Murong suffered a big loss in the military camp, and the news that he was beaten up and fled back to the mansion has spread all over the city. This time, in contact with the previous rumor that the new eunuch went straight to the government to force the local officials, the people finally believed that the new eunuch Sun was really not good, and he was going to confront the Murong prefect head-on.
It is with this statement that when the news came out from the military camp again, saying that Du Heng, the convicted general, would be executed at noon tomorrow, no one would ask questions, and almost everyone believed that this would come true, even if General Du Heng was famous in Qingzhou, and it was an existence that countless people could only look up to.
The people are still like this, and those soldiers who still have the status of the van army have other thoughts about this, so when it was close to noon the next day, thousands of people ran to the barracks to watch this special execution process, and they had not seen anyone be beheaded in public in the past, but it was the first time that the barracks generals led the matter as today.
Originally, everyone was still a little worried that someone from the government would come out to stop the interference, but after seeing the sun climb to the top of their heads and still not seeing any people from the yamen coming, everyone knew that after yesterday's battle, the Murong prefect had completely feared Sun Dujian, and I was afraid that after today, Qingzhou City would have an additional force that could have the final say.
Perhaps this is the so-called evil man has his own evil man's grind, at least in the eyes of many people and soldiers, things should be explained in this way.
When the time came to noon, Du Heng, who had been injured by dozens of military sticks yesterday, was dragged out of the barracks by several previous subordinates like a dead dog, and after pressing him to the ground, a Jiangzhou soldier took a military order and read it according to the book: "Today, it is investigated that the commander of the Qingzhou Xiang Army has made Du Heng oppress his subordinates, embezzle military salaries, and kill innocent people...... Sun Dujian was to set military discipline for the sake of correcting the public, so he decided to cut off his head and hang the gate to set an example! ”
After he finished reading this simple military order, two more Qingzhou soldiers stepped forward and pulled up their former boss, who had already reacted and wanted to struggle, and asked him to kneel in front of everyone upright, and also completely exposed his face in front of everyone.
"Fruit...... Sure enough, it was Du Heng...... He also has today! God really has eyes! Suddenly, many people shouted in front of them with grief and indignation. They remember very well that it was Du Heng who used all kinds of means to snatch the military salary and property that should have belonged to him, forcing him to do odd jobs everywhere in the city to support his family.
That's not all, after that, the military commanders led by him will find all kinds of excuses to exploit them, so hundreds of families of soldiers have been ruined because of this, which makes many people afraid that one day it will be their turn......
And now, this culprit is about to be beheaded, which naturally makes everyone present feel a big breath of evil, and the scolding suddenly sounds, if it weren't for the fear that it will provoke the anger of the soldiers and horses over there, these people might have to pick up stones or something and smash them at Du Heng to vent their hatred.
It was also at this time that Du Hengfang, who was a little confused because of the stick sores, came back to his senses, and immediately struggled and begged for mercy loudly: "Wronged, Sun Dujian, it is not out of this to do all this."

heart, really forced to helpless...... I don't dare to do it anymore, Sun Dujian also asked me to spare me this time, I swear, I will obey your orders in the future, and I will not dare to swallow up the military salary again......" The crying voice sounded really pitiful, but whether it was the onlookers in front of him or the soldiers beside him, they were deaf to his words, and just quietly waited for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon.
When the shadow of the wooden stick stuck in the ground was almost invisible to the point of view, Sun Tucai walked out of the gate accompanied by several subordinates. After glancing at Du Heng, who was begging for mercy, he rushed to the onlookers in front of him and said loudly: "This official knows that there is a big problem in the Qingzhou army now, and since I am appointed as the capital supervisor by the order of the imperial court, I will do my best to reorganize and establish the Xiang army."
"I'm a martial artist, and I can't say too many big truths like those who are literate, so I can only prove my determination with practical actions. Du Heng is just the beginning! When he said this, his face was solemn, and he shouted: "The hour has come, ready for execution!" ”
Under this order, a Jiangzhou soldier who was standing behind Du Heng as an executioner had already kicked out, and while kicking him over, the knife in his hand had been raised high. It was only at this time that Du Heng knew that his end had really arrived, at this moment, fear had turned into resentment, and the words begging for mercy had turned into scolding and cursing: "Sun Tu, if you announce a personal vendetta and kill me, the prefect will definitely uphold justice for me, and you must not die a good death!" And you ......" shouted, he struggled to turn his body, and swept over the soldiers and horses who had defected to Sun Tu's side with a resentful and gloomy gaze: "You bastards who eat inside and out, Lao Tzu will not let you go even if he dies and turns into a ghost!" I'm going to kill your whole family......"
His hysterical scream, combined with his hideously distorted and gloomy countenance, really had a certain intimidating effect, at least it frightened the soldiers in the camp to change their faces. Ordinary people in this era all believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and when they thought that Du Heng would turn into a powerful ghost and come back to take revenge, their hearts were cold.
Sun Tu also immediately noticed this, so he sneered and stepped forward: "If you want to harm people, you have harmed more than one or two hundred innocent people, if you really want to take revenge, you are the first to find it!" Also, the ghost is the extreme yin, but the place of my military camp is the extreme yang, and now three o'clock in the afternoon is the time of the sunshine between heaven and earth, killing you here, you have only one end, that is, the soul is scattered, the ashes are gone, and you want to become a ghost? I can't even reincarnate you. Chop me! ”
With a domineering urging, the executioner, who was still a little hesitant, did not hesitate at all, and with a low shout, the knife in his hand was quickly swinging down. The blood burst out in time, and Du Heng's head, who opened his mouth and wanted to curse, was separated from his body, his mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and then rolled forward with a grunt for a long distance before stopping, and then his body that lost his head fell with a bang, and a large stream of blood also flowed out of the open neck cavity.
There was silence for a while, and then there was a cheer among the onlookers. With Du Heng being beheaded, everyone's last bit of worry and doubt has also dissipated, and many Qingzhou Xiangjun soldiers have more awe in their eyes when they look at Sun Tu again.
And take advantage of it

When everyone was still reminiscing about the slash in front of them, several soldiers had quickly stepped forward, pasted a big notice on the wooden wall in front of the barracks, and then loudly preached the content of the above to everyone: "Sun Dujian has an order: Now that there are not enough soldiers and horses in the barracks, it is now decided to recall the brothers in the army who left the camp before, not only are they not to blame for the past, but they also promise to make up for the previous shortage of food and salary...... In addition, if there are brothers in the army who have been bullied, they can also report to Sun Dujian after returning to the camp, as long as the facts are checked, Sun Dujian will definitely make the decision for you! ”
As soon as this notice came out, it immediately caused a lot of repercussions among everyone again - if Sun Tu had ordered someone to post a notice saying such a thing before this, many people would still have doubts about it. But now, after seeing that Du Heng was killed by Sun Tu casually, and seeing his head being hung up on the gate, these people completely believed in Sun Dujian's determination to reorganize the Xiang army!
Many soldiers of the Front Carriage Army, who had been living a miserable life, immediately had the idea of giving it a try, but now they only lack an opportunity and a person to take the lead.
After a period of silence, a slightly thin man finally walked over with courage: "Little ...... The villain Li Gui was a soldier in the Xiang Army before, but because he couldn't get money for the first two years, he was not allowed to make a living outside...... Can Sun Dujian really be okay with the past and allow me to return to the army? ”
"Of course." Sun Tu smiled and nodded: "The official said, as long as you are willing to come back, everything is not to blame." And not only will there be no shortage of money in the future, but what has been accumulated in the past will also be repaid. ”
"I'm willing to go back to the army,......" Li Gui immediately said loudly.
With this first one, the people behind were even less stressed, and after a while, dozens of men rushed forward, shouting that they were willing to return to the Xiang Army. Facing this scene, the smile on Sun Tu's face became even bigger, and he immediately said: "Then please go into the camp and find the clerk to register all your names and identities, and this official will give you a clear answer in a few days." ”
Everything today is developing according to Sun Tu's plan, killing one person and reuniting the army's heart, as long as the matter spreads, he believes that when the time comes, he will be able to pull up the Qingzhou official army again. At that time, I really had the foundation to control everything in Qingzhou.

"Did he really kill Du Heng?" After receiving the report, even though he had already made a prediction, Murong Yanchao's face was still pale, and he was convinced of how decisive and ruthless his opponent was this time: "That's the seventh-rank official of the imperial court, he actually said that he would kill him?" ”
"Not only that, but he also posted a notice for the Xiang army to return to the barracks, and promised that they would distribute the money and salary to them in full, not only in the future, but also in the ...... accumulated in previous years," the subordinate in front of him reported truthfully everything he had in his hands with a bitter face.
This made Murong Prefect more and more uneasy: "What does he mean by this?" Does he still want to be the enemy of his own officials? Does he want to ......"
Jing Yiming's eyes on the side also flashed with deep worry, this Sun Tuyuan is far more terrifying than he thought, his appetite or ambition is really terrifying, does he really dare to openly rob the mansion and even the prefect's property?
