Hearing this, the Nine Princes frowned, these people came to take refuge in them, just because they couldn't survive the oppression of the King of Chu, and naturally they didn't bring much things, although they had already prepared, and the food was enough, but with the increasing number of people, it was really not able to support it for too long, they couldn't keep sitting like this, after all, it was a long-term process to confront the King of Chu.

"In this way, in addition to the daily training, you can take them to the wasteland." The Nine Princes thought to themselves, if it really didn't work, he would contribute his private treasury.

"Yes." Liu Yao did not doubt that he had him, and immediately took the order.

The place where they are now is high and densely forested, rich in products, birds and animals can be seen everywhere, this big mountain can support their current group of people, but it is difficult to say in the future.

The Nine Princes took advantage of the fact that they were fine, and ran into the forest to pick herbs, but they didn't want to meet a group of people who were drinking and having fun under the shade of the trees.

If they just drank and rested, the Nine Princes wouldn't care, but they actually got together to gamble, which made him unable to sit idly by.

The Nine Princes are handsome, and they are also very kind on weekdays, and they smile when they meet anyone, but now they suddenly sink their faces, and although a few soldiers who gathered to gamble were a little scared, they still had the courage to whisper, "Lord Wang, a few of our brothers are just bored, and their hands are itchy for a while." ”

The Nine Princes glanced around with a solemn expression, these few people who gathered to gamble, they had flattering smiles on their faces, they were disheveled, and they didn't look like well-trained soldiers at all, but like ruffians and hooligans on the street.

"Since you have come here, you should know the rules here, and on the first day, this king said that there are three prohibitions here, no fighting, no gambling, no robbery, and now you have made a mistake, you must be punished."

There are all the people who come to take refuge, and if you can't set the rules at the beginning, it will be even more difficult to manage them in the future.

The Nine Princes decided to punish each of them with twenty military sticks, this punishment was actually very light, or the Nine Princes considered that they were weak and afraid that they would not be able to bear it, so they deliberately reduced it, but they didn't expect those people to be punished as soon as they heard that they would still be punished, and they immediately shouted dissatisfied.

"Lord Wang, I think you are too big to make a fuss, a few of us just get together when we are bored and play a few games, it's not a big mistake, you are too strict like this." One of them spoke first.

The others chimed in, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

Seeing their unrepentant appearance, the Nine Princes suddenly became even more angry, and the movement on their side attracted the attention of others, and many people gathered around.

But to the surprise of the Nine Princes, the other people also felt that they had made a small mistake, so they asked the Nine Princes to raise their noble hands.

"It's good that they know it's wrong, everyone is brothers, there's no need to really punish."

"yes, it's pretty much enough to say a few words about them."

The Nine Princes stood in the middle angrily and angrily, how did this become his fault? It's as if he's the kind of person who doesn't make sense and grabs someone's pigtails and doesn't let go.

Seeing that the people's anger was indignant, and the matter was about to be out of control, Liu Yao had no choice but to run to Xie Yutang's room and ask him to come out to administer justice.

Xie Yutang saw a group of people surrounding the Nine Princes from a distance, and his expression was very excited.

Thinking that Ji Wan was still in the room, he didn't want to waste too much time here, he just wanted to solve the matter as soon as possible. But now there is a commotion here, and everyone doesn't even notice that he's coming.

Xie Yutang glanced around and saw a tree next to him with the thickness of an adult man's waist, so he walked over directly and slashed the tree to the ground with one palm.

This loud noise quieted down the excited crowd all of a sudden. Everyone also noticed Xie Yutang standing next to the tree with a black face.

"General."

Everyone stood cautiously aside, not daring to take a breath.

The Nine Princes were so angry by their sudden change of attitude, when they faced him just now, they were not afraid at all, and they wanted to eat him alive. Why did everyone become a little daughter-in-law in front of Xie Yutang?

"Yutang, you came just in time, in the end, you are the boss here, you see how to deal with this matter." The Nine Princes were about to tell what had happened, but Xie Yutang raised his hand to stop him.

"Liu Yao has already told me about it just now." His eyes wandered through the crowd, and when he saw a few people hiding behind the crowd, he strode up to them.

"You're the ones who gathered together to gamble." Xie Yutang used a declarative tone.

Under his sharp eyes, those people didn't dare to lie at all, and admitted it tremblingly.

Seeing that they were so timid, Xie Yutang couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart, if he were the former army, he would definitely not suffer from this kind of mischief.

"Since you have made a mistake, you must accept the punishment, fifty military sticks per person, Liu Yao, you watch them execute, you must not have any softness."

As soon as a few people heard the fifty military sticks, their legs were frightened, and if they continued to fight, they were afraid that they would not be able to save their lives.

"General, didn't the prince say twenty ...... just now" The rest of his words were drowned in Xie Yutang's fierce eyes, the general was really terrifying.

"It is true that you are only twenty for one man, but you do not obey the command, so you add it to fifty."

At the time of the execution, because Xie Yutang was standing next to him, the people who put down the sticks did not dare to be soft at all, and after a few sticks went down, those people couldn't stand it anymore and began to cry and shout.

Among them, Wang Si, who was the leader, felt that if he really suffered honestly, he would definitely not survive, so he tried to stand up and resist.

"I'm not doing it, I'm here to take refuge in you, I want to live a comfortable life, not to suffer here, if you fight again, I'll leave and go to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

There was a hint of pride in Wang Si's eyes, Xie Yutang was not the majestic general he used to be, and now that he was against the King of Chu, he would definitely not let himself go easily when he needed manpower.

When the rest of the people heard him say this, they immediately stood up and said, "Yes, if you continue to fight, we will go back." ”

Xie Yutang didn't speak with a cold face, Liu Yao followed him for a long time At a glance, he knew that he was in a bad mood now.

"What kind of place are you supposed to be? Do you think coming to me is just a playhouse? Xie Yutang sneered, "You can leave if you want, I will never stop you." ”

When Wang Si and the others heard what he said, they became even more proud, thinking that this was a means to retain them.

"General, we all admire you very much, in fact, as long as you don't remember the villain and let us go this time, our brothers will still consider staying."

When Liu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, this group of people is really stupid, they actually said such things in front of the general, isn't it asking for their own death?

"I haven't finished my words yet, if you want to leave, I will definitely not stay, but these fifty sticks must be finished." Xie Yutang said indifferently.

"What?!" They still wanted to beat them, but those people immediately stopped, "Since we have decided to leave, it is not for you to manage, why are you still being beaten here?" ”

"It's up to you." As soon as Xie Yutang finished saying this, Liu Yao gave the people around him a look, and someone immediately stepped forward and grabbed them firmly.

"You are here with me, even if it is a day, you have to abide by the rules of the day, and after the beating, we will be cleared, and you can naturally leave. Execute. ”

Several of them resisted with all their might, but there was no way to escape, and in the end they could only be beaten obediently.

Xie Yutang called all the people to watch, and at the beginning they screamed very fiercely, but when they got to the back, only the breath was left but not the breath, and the voice gradually weakened.

When the fight was over, the men were thrown outside like dead dogs.

"The rest of you, if you want to leave like them, I will definitely not force you to stay, but I am not a shelter here, after you leave, there is no need to come back, and here, you must abide by my rules, and if you can't do it, you will leave immediately."

Listening to his words, the people below began to talk in a whisper, and some people felt that he was too cold and ruthless. But there are also many people who think that he is doing the right thing, and the confusion and apprehension in his heart have dissipated a lot, and he is more confident in the future.

After a while, someone whispered tentatively, "What the general said is true, if we leave, you will definitely not stop us?" ”

"Of course, a manly man, he is a man of his word." Xie Yutang replied loudly. After he said this, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction, so he couldn't wait to go back to the room to accompany Chi Wan.

Because of today's events, some idle people began to retreat, and more than a dozen people packed up their burdens and left that day.

After Liu Yao told the Nine Princes about this, the Nine Princes blamed themselves very much.

After Xie Yutang found out, the expression on his face did not change much, "Those people are gone, but it is a good thing for us." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Nine Princes feel that they are weak now, and naturally the more people there are, the better.

"Among those people, many of them are short-sighted and can't endure hardship, if such people stay here, they will only become a cancer of the army, not only waste food, but also bring bad people around them, and at a critical moment, they may even be betrayed because of interests."

"A good army definitely does not win by quantity, but by quality."

Xie Yutang's words were loud, which made the Nine Princes' hearts finally feel a little more comfortable, but he was still a little worried, "I know what you said makes sense, but now that we are embattled, we want to train a well-trained army in a short period of time, but I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
