83. Small punishment and big commandment
Compete for the land of drinking horses, take the sheep with the hand, plot to steal the horse, and get the stolen goods.
These things managed to create a storm.
Ma Lin waited for a long time, and finally wiped out all the generals and his soldiers under Wang Fang's department, and all the stolen goods were seized and detained.
After Wang Fang's other soldiers fled back to the camp, they hurriedly informed Wang Fang of the ins and outs of the matter.
In his heart, he also categorically felt that this was the grudge between Yan Xing and Ma Lin when they remembered their time in the prisoner camp, and deliberately wanted to take revenge on themselves.
Therefore, although Wang Fang was full of anger, his own soldiers were arrested when he stole a horse after all, and the human and physical evidence was available, and even the people were taken down on the spot, and he couldn't rely on it if he wanted to.
As a last resort, Wang Fang could only force a smile and came to the outside of Yan Xing's camp, wanting to ask to see Yan Xing and return the detained soldiers of his own family, in order to calm things down. But as a result, when the person arrived at the gate of Yan Xing's camp, he found that he couldn't enter, Yan Xing refused to see him, and Wang Fang's smile suddenly stiffened, and the muscles on his face were knotted together, becoming hideous.
So Wang Fang, who had eaten a snack, rushed back to his camp, and he soon heard the news released to him by another military officer, Yan Xing refused to see him, because he remembered the old hatred and wanted to take the opportunity to impeach him for his lax imperial duties, which disturbed his promotion to the good thing of Sima in the army.
didn't listen or don't care, as soon as he heard it, Wang Fang, who was already angry, was even more furious, and directly flipped the case in front of him.
This kind of hatred that cuts off people's futures is like killing relatives and blood feuds, and it is definitely an endless situation.
Wang Fang naturally gritted his teeth at this, and couldn't wait to pounce in front of Yan Xing and Ma Lin now, and bite off a bite of meat from the two of them.
But now he was caught by Yan Xing, Ma Lin and others, and even his own soldiers were detained in Yan Xing's hands, and the other party was also fabricating charges to frame himself at this time, and the situation was quite unfavorable to him.
Wang Fang, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, finally gritted his teeth after thinking about it for a long time, and decided to make a big deal and sue Yan Xing in front of Xu Rong first.
In order to protect himself, Wang Fang has decided to tear up his face with Yan Xing, and at present, Xu Rong is the only one who can suppress Yan Xing in the army.
In the battle of Bianshui, although Xu Rong fought a big victory, but after all, he was fighting for many years, and he also fell a lot of injuries, he himself forcibly accelerated the march, rushed to the battlefield and commanded the battle for half a day, the foot disease on his body recurred again, and he is currently recuperating in the city, so the Xiliang soldiers have no other military operations for the time being.
And Wang Fang did not hesitate to disturb Xu Rong, who was recuperating, because he felt that although Yan Xing had made a lot of military achievements, he was higher than his own position. But he often listens to Xu Rong's account, which is close and which is sparse, it is clear at a glance, this time Yan Xing, Ma Lin and others painstakingly designed to harm themselves, and only Xu Rong has the prestige and power to break the situation for himself.
Wang Fang was determined to fight hard, and his accusation escalated the turmoil again and became a matter known to the whole army.
···
Xingyang City County Temple Back Hall
The original Xingyang Order has been sealed and left office, and the county temple has temporarily become the residence of Zhonglang General Xu Rong to recuperate from foot diseases during the war.
Xu Rong, who was lying on the couch on his side, had a sickly look on his face, but the majesty of a veteran general in a hundred battles on his body was still Ling Ran, looking at Wang Fang, who was lying on the ground after complaining about a grievance, he didn't speak for a long time.
In fact, in his heart, most of the things Wang Fang said were conjecture and speculation. He said that Yan Xing was jealous of the Liangzi who had formed in the prisoner camp, so he had been planning for a long time, and this time he wanted to harm his future, but in Xu Rong's ears, this was completely a big storm caused by a small contradiction between the soldiers of the two sides.
If Yan Xing really deliberately wanted to harm Wang Fang, why did he use such a trick that was indiscriminate and did not have a strong persecution effect.
In the final analysis, it was the old grudge between the two sides that could not be eliminated for a long time, so they were both angry and refused to give in to each other, coupled with some gossip in the army, which caused this chaos that was known to the whole army and caused trouble to themselves.
Originally, there were some small gaps between the generals under his command, and Xu Rong was not surprised. Counting it up, even himself, when he was under the command of Xiang Guo, sometimes it was inevitable that there would be some friction with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.
Therefore, Xu Rong didn't want to come forward in person for such a trivial matter, he could have privately sent Xu Kun to mediate and mediate, so that the turmoil caused by the two generals under his command could be calmed down.
But right now, Wang Fang has made a big deal and sued Yan Xing to him, and Xu Rong doesn't want to come forward in person, and he can't.
"Kun'er, you go in person and find Yan Yan for me!"
Xu Rong was still lying on the couch, but after being silent for a long time, he finally spoke, and asked Xu Kun, who was standing on the side, to dispatch and summon Yan Xing over first.
"No!"
Xu Kun hurriedly responded when he heard this, and then took a deep look at Wang Fang who was lying on the ground, although Wang Fang didn't dare to raise his head to peep, but after he heard Xu Rong's words, his body also twisted, and he must be proud in his heart, he bet on the right chess move.
Xu Kun thought in his heart, and then got up and left the back hall.
···
It didn't take long for Yan Xing to follow behind Xu Kun and enter the back hall.
This is not Xu Rong's expectation, Wang Fang sued Yan Xing in front of him with such fanfare, presumably Yan Xing also heard some news and was about to have a war of words with Wang Fang.
However, Xu Rong didn't intend to let Yan Xing do this.
"Bang!"
As soon as Yan Xing came in, he heard Xu Rong slam the bed violently, making a muffled sound.
Wang Fang, who was originally kneeling on the ground, had sore knees because he had been kneeling for a long time, and he was twisting his body slightly, trying to activate the blood on his body, but with Xu Rong's slam blow, he was so frightened that he quickly clung to the ground again, and made a trembling appearance again.
"I've been out of the camp for a few days, and you're going to make such a mess for me!"
In fact, Yan Xing could also guess a few points about Xu Rong's response attitude in his heart, so he hurriedly saluted Xu Rong, and then stepped aside, quietly waiting for Xu Rong to continue to get angry.
Xu Rong, who was lying on the couch, quickly glanced at Yan Xing, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he slammed the blow just now, and Wang Fang was immediately frightened and trembling, but this Yan Yan's face was still calm, whether it was because he faced Wang Fang's counter-accusation and held the victory in his hand, or because he was bold and unruly, this kind of performance would eventually make Xu Rong dissatisfied.
No general wants to see that his subordinates begin to have the strength or ambition to get out of their control.
Xu Rong quickly hid the fierceness in his eyes, but the words in his mouth were still murderous.
"The army strictly ordered, stealing people's property, thinking that it is for its own benefit, taking people's heads, thinking of its own merits, this is called stealing the army, the offender is beheaded, and the soldiers under the Wang Fang, intending to steal war horses, should be punished!"
Wang Fang, who was lying on the ground, was shocked when he heard the sound, but before he could speak, Xu Rong had already continued:
"Private fighting is strictly forbidden in the army, Yan Yan's corporals and soldiers, seize the land of drinking horses first, and fight colleagues last, this is called the crime of making soldiers, and the soldiers involved should also be beheaded to show the public!"
Hearing this, Yan Xing had already completely guessed Xu Rong's next move, and as soon as his body moved, he also bowed to the ground, but he didn't say a word.
After Xu Rong saw that Yan Xing finally fell to the ground, his speech slowed down, but his momentum remained undiminished, and he continued:
"And you and the other two, there is no way to control the soldiers, causing the soldiers to fight privately against the order, and everyone in the army knows that the army's spirit is unstable, this is the crime of slackness and disorder of the army, and the punishment is according to the crime, although it is not to death, but the serious crime is difficult to escape!"
"Come on, pull these two criminals down for me!"
"Wait!"
With Xu Rong's last shout, the soldiers in the hall who were armed with soldiers immediately received orders and were about to arrest people, but Xu Kun also stepped out to dissuade them and stopped the soldiers' actions.
"General, please listen to your subordinates."
"Speak!"
"At present, the country is in an eventful autumn, although the Kwantung rebels have suffered heavy setbacks, but the rebel enemy chieftain has not been awarded the head after all, the army is the place where people are employed, not long ago, just on the bank of Bianshui, the bloody battle broke the rebel soldiers and horses, and the rewards for the war exploits have not yet been issued, they were suddenly convicted, and the meritorious soldiers were imprisoned, but I am afraid that the army will be panicked, and the soldiers will be unstable."
Although Xu Kun spoke out to admonish, Xu Rong still had no breath, his voice was cold, and he was determined to deal with Yan Xing, Wang Fang, and the soldiers involved in accordance with military law, so he continued:
"This general is the rule of law, he will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his crimes, you don't have to say much!"
"The general heard that the army was quasi-legal, how could his subordinates dare to put their beaks, but the military law allowed all people's favors, and compassion and forgiveness were also the key to governing the army. Wang and Yan are both meritorious soldiers, and they ask the general to have mercy and retain usable talents for the country and the army. ”
This time, Xu Rong finally did not say anything more and said that he would insist on governing the army in accordance with military law and judging crimes. As he calmed down, the hand that had been striking the bed began to beat on the edge of the bed, and the sound of "bang" continued to sound, echoing in the back hall that suddenly became quiet again.
After half a ring
"Okay, since it is for the country and the army, then the general will temporarily leave you and others useful, Wang Fang and Yan Yan listen to the order!"
"In. In the "
Yan Xing and Wang Fang, who were prostrating on the ground, responded one after another, and Xu Rong began to say solemnly:
"The horse thief soldier thought of the moment, acted recklessly, ordered to be cut off from the military position, demoted to a pawn, fined and confiscated, in order to fill the military supplies, and the weapon fighter, read the previous bloody battle, and ordered each to be whipped twenty to set an example!"
"As for you and the other two, go back to the camp and repent, this matter will end here, don't make any more trouble."
"No!"
Xu Rong's method of dealing with turmoil in the army is somewhat similar to Xu Kun's handling of business disputes in the downtown area, but his words and deeds are more calm and sophisticated.
And Wang Fang finally raised his head at this time, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Yan Xing provocatively, just at this time, Yan Xing's eyes that converged on the edge were also projected out in time, and the two of them exchanged their eyes, and Yan Xing also saw Wang Fang's inner activities clearly, and he was a little proud.
Yan Xing didn't just think it was funny.
Do you think it's going to be that simple?
