"My lord, my subordinates are just here to kill the Mongols!" Liu Yunshui knelt in front of Li Zicheng, not even daring to breathe.

"Lord Ben knows, and you have succeeded," Li Zicheng's face was cold, like a sudden fall of frost, "But the battlefield is the battlefield, and military discipline has never been ruthless, Liu Yunshui, your mission in this battle is to prevent the Mongols from escaping, but for the sake of meritorious service, take the initiative to attack, yes or no?" ”

"Your Excellency is really discerning!"

"Secondly, Lord Ben has repeatedly asked you to fight together, all our soldiers are new recruits, lack combat effectiveness, and must rely on the advantage of numbers to be invincible, and you, as the commander of one side, because of greed, have taken the initiative to highlight the front army and put yourself in danger."

"Adult ......"

"Master Ben knows that you are not greedy for life and afraid of death, on the contrary, you violated military discipline to kill the enemy, but at that time we were already in an absolutely dominant position, if the Mongols did not kill, he would not be able to escape, and once he was disabled, or even died, he would never come back," Li Zicheng's voice was a little choked, "Yunshui, you are the chief flag officer, the pillar of our army, once something happens, what should you do with the dozens of soldiers of the general banner?" Even if you are not the chief flag officer, we are only one hundred and ten people, and the lives of every soldier are extremely precious, although casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, but we cannot afford unnecessary casualties, and we are sorry for the brothers who trust us. ”

"My lord......" Liu Yunshui knocked on the ground with his head, "My subordinates know that I am wrong." ”

"Yunshui, in accordance with our prior agreement, Lord Ben will use military law against you, can you be convinced?"

"The subordinates are convinced, and the subordinates are punished by the adults!"

"Okay, if you can recognize your mistakes, you are still my brother," Li Zicheng stood up and said word by word: "Chief Flag Officer Liu Yunshui, who violated military discipline without authorization, will be given twenty rods." ”

This kind of punishment is not heavy, most of them are symbolic, the soldiers who execute are all subordinates, and they will not really be rigid, Liu Yunshui is a meritorious person, so Li Zicheng lifted the board high, but it fell gently.

"My subordinates thank you for your teachings, and my subordinates admit punishment." Liu Yunshui was a little dissatisfied in his heart, no matter what the military discipline was, he would be punished for winning the battle? In this way, the military law seemed to be a little impersonal, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Get up!" Li Zicheng didn't look at Liu Yunshui's eyes, nor did he pay attention to his thoughts, "Lord Ben, as a hundred households, is the supreme commander on the battlefield, but he failed to restrain his subordinates well, and at that time, Lord Ben also stood out to the front army alone, putting himself in a dangerous situation, which violated military discipline, so Lord Ben volunteered to bear half of the responsibility for Liu Yunshui, and the ten rods in the back, Lord Ben came to collect it!" ”

"Your Excellency......" Li was in a hurry, "how can anyone be punished?" Punished in front of the whole battalion of soldiers, how can you lead the troops in the future......"

"Needless to say, I understand your thoughts." Li Zicheng glanced at Li Guo and stopped him from going on?

"My lord, it's all the fault of my subordinates, and my subordinates are willing to admit their guilt," Liu Yunshui knelt down in front of Li Zicheng again, "Your Excellency, don't lose face in front of all the soldiers for your subordinates, your lordship highlighted the formation at that time, but to rescue your subordinates." ”

"Reasonable and forgivable, military discipline is intolerable!" Li Zicheng's expression was firm, and there was no trace of cringe on his handsome face, "Needless to say, Yunshui, this adult has made up his mind, and he must be a good example in front of the whole army." ”

"Adult ......"

"My lord, you are the chief general of the whole army, it is not appropriate to be punished in front of the soldiers, let the soldiers know this meaning, my subordinates heard that Cao Mengde's war horse trampled on the green seedlings of the people during the Three Kingdoms, according to military law, he should be beheaded, but Cao Mengde is the chief general in the army, and he is the head of the head by cutting his hair, is the adult ......"

At this time, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been written for a long time, the story in the book is widely circulated among the people, Li Guo and Li Zicheng went to school with Li Zicheng since childhood, they naturally did not study for the imperial examination, and the miscellaneous books were more attractive to them.

"Double happiness doesn't need to be persuaded," Li Zicheng's face regained a hint of smile, "Lord Ben's governing of the army is a little different from Cao Mengde, in the face of military discipline, everyone is equal, even the chief general of the whole army, and it is no exception." ”

"Adult ......"

"Adult ......"

Li Zicheng stretched out his right hand to stop the two from continuing, "Yunshui, you and I will go out and be punished now, so that the brothers can learn from this, Shuangxi will arrange the soldiers who will be executed, and in addition, let all the brothers line up to watch." ”

"Yes, sir." Liu Yunshui got up at this time, but when he looked at Li Zicheng, there was obvious guilt.

"Yes, sir." Li Guo hesitated for a while, but still left the conference room of the big tent and went to arrange for the soldiers.

Except for Wang Anping's small banner who had not returned, including the fire army, the soldiers of the nine small flags were quietly waiting in line in the training ground.

This training ground was originally the garrison of the two thousand generals of Xiningwei, which could accommodate at least hundreds of soldiers, and the soldiers of the nine small flags stood on the edge, which was particularly empty.

In the center of the training ground, an elongated wooden bench was placed, Li Zicheng and Liu Yunshui were already waiting, Li Guo was the supervising officer, and four other soldiers were holding long wooden planks, waiting for execution.

Li Guo saw Li Zicheng bowing slightly, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "Last night was the first battle after our army entered Xining, Lord Baihu and Chief Banner Officer Liu personally came to the front line and personally commanded the killing of the enemy. ”

As a result, most of the soldiers have already learned from the mouths of the soldiers who participated in the battle, and there is no novelty, but it comes out of Li Guo's mouth, and the results of the battle are even more shocking.

The soldiers discussed it for a while, only saying that Li Guo wanted to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, so they spontaneously shut their mouths and waited for Li Guo to announce the results

Seeing that the soldiers stretched their necks one by one, as if looking at the long wooden bench in the center of the training ground, Li Guo continued: "However, in order to kill the enemy, Liu Yunshui, the chief flag officer, highlighted the front army without authorization, and failed to abide by the military discipline of 'coordinated combat', and followed the law with twenty rods. ”

"Do you have to be punished for meritorious service?"

"Highlighting the front army is to kill the enemy, not to be afraid of battle!"

"Lord Liu is the main general!"

……

The soldiers talked a lot, and at this time, they knew the reason for coming to the training ground, especially Liu Yunshui, the soldier of the general banner, who thought that Liu Yunshui was squeezed out and bullied by Li Zicheng's uncle and nephew.

"Silence!" Li drank too high, and when the soldiers were all quiet, he read: "Li Zicheng of the hundred households, although he came to the battlefield in person, his majesty was not strict, and the crime was the same responsibility, so he voluntarily took half of the military staff. ”

"Huh? Even a hundred adults have to be punished? ”

"Just if the emperor is not strict, he will be guilty of the same crime? This military discipline is too strict, isn't it? Mom, let's not break military discipline in the future! ”

"Liu Yunshui has hurt hundreds of adults!"

……

Liu Yunshui, the person with the general banner, was speechless for a moment, he was still in the grievances just now, and his grievances had already been lost in Java, but he shouted for Li Zicheng in his heart, and opened his mouth one by one, as if he was choked by an invisible big hand.

The one who made the voice was basically Li Guo's general banner, and Li Zicheng had also served as their chief flag officer, so he naturally felt more cordial, and some soldiers also looked at Liu Yunshui with cold eyebrows, complaining that he had harmed Li Zicheng.

Of course, all the soldiers believed that Lord Baihu was the supreme commander of the battalion, and he would not really be punished at all, at most, he would review his own behavior, so that the soldiers could learn from it, or in another way, they believed that Li Guo must have something to say.

"Execution!" Li Guo really spoke, but his words were only two words.

It was like a bolt from the blue, and all the soldiers were stunned.

The two executing soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, dragged him to the wooden bench, and Liu Yunshui took the initiative to take off his pants and lie on the wooden bench.

"Smack, smack......"

The executing soldier picked up the board, and although the sound was loud, it was not directly downward, but dragged through Liu Yunshui's buttocks, so the injury was not serious.

"Cane over!" After ten canes, Li Guo stopped and replaced him with Li Zicheng.

The executing soldier dragged Li Zicheng to a wooden bench, but he hesitated and did not dare to step forward.

Li Zicheng turned around and said: "I know the thoughts of my brothers, I am grateful to you, but, in front of military discipline, everyone is equal, even if he is the supreme commander, he must abide by military discipline, brothers, do it!" ”

Liu Yunshui "banged" and knelt in front of the long wooden bench, his eyes were red, and tears were dripping, "My lord, it's all the fault of my subordinates, my subordinates are willing to receive the remaining ten rods, and I beg my lord to take back his life and don't punish himself." ”

Li Zicheng looked at Liu Yunshui's gaze, which was more gentle than he had ever been, "Yunshui, my brother, I know your intentions," his voice suddenly raised an octave, "Execution!" ”

The executing soldier hesitated and looked at Li Guo, who bit his lip and nodded fiercely.

Really going to be executed? The soldiers couldn't believe their eyes, the Lord would be punished, unheard of, and some soldiers secretly pinched themselves, isn't this a dream? The soldiers who fought together were all meritorious, but the two main generals who commanded them were punished!

It's not a dream, it's real, and I see it with my own eyes.

There was silence in the training ground, except for the "snapping" sound of the cane falling on the skin.

When Li Zicheng finished receiving the cane, the soldiers still couldn't believe it, but they immediately had an idea.

Don't...... Mom, what kind of hundred households is this? What Flag Officer? What kind of army is this? In case you break the military law in the future......

The soldiers finally came to their own conclusion: don't break military discipline!

The four soldiers who were executed just now respectively supported Li Zicheng and Liu Yunshui back to their bedrooms, but Li Guo walked up to the soldiers in line, "Brothers, if you make a meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished. ”

As soon as Li Zicheng lay down, Liu Yunshui limped the door and came in, he knelt in front of Li Zicheng's bed, snot and tears grabbed it, "This life of my subordinates will be handed over to the adults from now on, as long as the adults tell me, go in the water and go in the fire......"
