Chapter XXIV
There are no rules, there are no rules.
Bailijian is ready to build them as an army, but the current conditions are limited, and his own prestige is not high, for fear that hastily setting up more rules will provoke these rebellious horse bandits to be unhappy and rebound. But now the time has come to have to make rules.
The few people who took the lead in drawing their swords had already been escorted to Bailijian and knelt down in front of Bailijian at this time, and the several horse bandits who realized their impulsiveness also lowered their heads one by one, not daring to say anything.
Bai Lijian walked back and forth in front of several people a few times, and then asked in a deep voice: "Do you remember, what did you follow me out for?" ”
A few people dared to speak up at this time and continued to remain silent.
"I brought you out in the first place to prepare for you to live, to let you live better. Along the way, we conquered the tribe of Helanda and took down the hundred-man cavalry of Suhora. We have gone from having nothing to now having so many horses and weapons and equipment, all of which we have bought with our lives. You may think that all this came too easily, but have you ever thought that if the Helanda tribe or these cavalry resist desperately, you may still die? As you usually say, there is no immortal in war. ”
After a pause, Bai Lijian suddenly raised his voice and said: "However, what I hope is that you can die honorably on the battlefield, this is the glory that a steppe person should have, instead of dying at the hands of your closest companions without dignity." The moment you raise your sword and aim it at your companions, do you think that in the future you too will die at the hands of your own companions? ”
Bai Lijian glanced at everyone, snorted coldly, and continued: "Some people may think that they are horse bandits now, so there is no need to think so much. But I tell you, if you think so, you are very wrong! As long as you fight side by side together, you are the closest comrades-in-arms, and you should both trust each other completely, facing your own enemies with your own swords, and leaving your back completely to the people you trust the most. ”
"There are no rules, there are no rules. So today, I'm going to set up a rule for you, and I'll listen to them all! ”
Bai Lijian's voice increased in vain, and everyone looked at Bai Li Jian in unison, with a serious look on their faces, no one would think that Bai Li Jian was joking. It was only then that the bandits remembered that the ten-year-old child in front of them was no ordinary child. When it comes to ruthlessness, they are no worse than them at all, and even surpass them.
"First, from now on, there shall be no fights and brawls in the army, and the offender shall be given fifty rods; If there are casualties, behead! ”
Bai Lijian's 'slash' frightened the horse bandits in front of them one by one, and even the captured cavalry felt the chill in Bai Lijian's tone.
"Second, the army must carry out orders and prohibitions, obey the orders of superiors in everything, and take all orders from superiors as the standard, and must not act privately. Eighty rods for violators, and those in serious cases will be beheaded! ”
"Third, all seizures must be handed over, violators will be fined twenty rods, and all military merits will be confiscated!"
"Fourth, those who have escaped from the battle, kill immediately!"
Bailijian didn't set too many rules for them at once, but just set up the most important points. Once you get started, it will be easier to make rules in the future. Second, Bailijian also took the opportunity to establish his prestige, at least to be able to enforce orders and prohibitions.
Looking at the horse bandits who were silent in front of him, Bai Lijian was very satisfied, at least his prestige was established at this moment, and he only needed to slowly strengthen his prestige in the future.
Bailijian knows very well that as a leader, it is the right thing to combine rigidity and softness. After the tough Liwei, the next thing is soft.
Bai Lijian pointed to the few people kneeling in front of him and said: "This time, you are a first-time offender, and it has not caused serious consequences, so this time I will temporarily exempt you from the cane, but your merits this time will be confiscated, and your leather armor and scimitar will be withdrawn." If you want, you will take credit for it next time, do you have any objection to this? ”
Several people kneeling on the ground shook their heads dejectedly, and their bodies sat down decadently, looking weak.
"Okay, cheer up, pack up your things, let's go back to the camp and have a good meal, which is considered a treat for you!"
As soon as they heard that they were going to have a big meal, everyone's eyes lit up. In the past few days, there has been a shortage of food, and everyone has not dared to let go of eating, and they have long been hungry.
Everyone rushed to the camp at the foot of the mountain as fast as possible, and found that the people in the camp were all nervous, hiding behind the cart with a vigilant face. However, when he saw that it was Bai Lijian who was the leader, Liu Jing greeted him as soon as possible. From the excited look on Liu Jing's face, it could be seen that he was really happy. The rest of the people also breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their own business.
Bai Lijian inquired with Liu Jingyi and found out that it was the person who had fled before who came back to report that there was a bandit on the mountain, and they were killed without leaving a piece of armor, which made Helanda's family, who had just escaped the black storm, feel at the bottom again. The Black Storm hadn't completely stopped, and it was definitely too late to leave, so they could only wait in the camp for bad luck to strike again. It's just that they didn't expect that it was Bailijian who came back.
Soon, Bai Lijian saw that the person who reported the news was none other than the missing Su and Luo.
Looking at Su and Luo, who were tied up and taken in front of him, Bai Lijian's heart was playful, and he took a knife and gestured around Su and Luo's chest, which made Su and Luo panic. But he is also a handsome little handsome, but he hasn't been scared so easily.
"Boy, you dare to kill my cavalry team, you are making enemies of my Su and my troops! My sister is the concubine of the commander of the Luo tribe, and you offended two tribes at once! ”
"Suhebu? The Rakhabe? It's scary to hear. Bai Lijian said with a smile.
"Hmph, let me go as soon as I know each other, otherwise ......"
"How else? Do you want to say that otherwise, the two tribes of Suhe and Luo will not let me go? ”
"Count you as acquaintances!"
"Haha, I think you're thinking too much." Bai Lijian was not angry and laughed: "Why should I let you go, do you want to go back and tell the people of your tribe that I killed your cavalry and captured you?" And then let you bring troops to attack us? Am I not stupid? As long as I kill you, no one will know that I did it, and then bury you in the yellow sand, and even if others find you, they will only think that you were killed by the black storm, and they will never think of me. ”
"What a poisonous boy, I didn't expect you to be so vicious at a young age, it seems that I really planted it this time!" Su Heluo is a smart person, knowing that things are no longer negotiable, and death is the best outcome for him, so he simply accepts his fate.
