Section 23: Punishment of Zhang Fei

Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 23 Punish Zhang Fei

Looking back, looking at these "docile" bandits, I couldn't bear it, and said to Fu Zhu: "Zizheng, first order them to select a few leaders, organize them into groups, and then distribute food to them. ”

Fu Zhu nodded in agreement, and at this moment, Guan Hai led the army back to the camp. He was the last to join the battle, but since I seemed to blame him before the battle, he did not dare to return to the camp before the two of them, so he led the army to pursue the thieves. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the camp to give the order, I happened to be in the prisoner camp.

Seeing me, Guan Hai shrank a little, and immediately strode in front of me again, prostrate on the ground and kowtow and said, "Bingyuan knows his mistakes, and I hope the lord will punish him." ”

I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Fei interjected and said: "You kid killed well today, how could I not see that you have such a high level of martial arts before, find a chance for the two of us to fight, compare and see."

Guan Hai ignored Zhang Fei, kowtowed again and said: "Bingyuan met the enemy and did not move forward, which made the lord angry, and Bingyuan was at fault. ”

I shook my head and said to him, "Bingyuan, do you know why I put you in the front?" ”

Guan Hai kowtowed and said, "The lord wants to use Bingyuan's martial arts. ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and howled: "Can you kid be brave enough to beat me?" ”

I glared at Zhang Fei in displeasure, and when Guan Yu saw this, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Fei and signaled him to stop.

I gently said to Guan Hai, "Wrong! Bingyuan, you have been with me for many years, don't I know your martial arts? The reason why I let you be in the front this time is because of your prudence. Our army was formed by the townspeople, and the soldiers did not know how to march in the ranks, and if they suddenly encountered the enemy, if there was no one who was calm and composed, the whole army would inevitably be in chaos. You have been with me for many days, and although you have no opinions, you have never panicked. I put you in the front line to use your composure to control the whole army. ”

After speaking, I looked at Zhang Fei and then said to Guan Hai: "You did a good job today, you reported back to the enemy, and forced the enemy army step by step, so that the enemy army could not stand in formation, and I have a great merit, although I later complained that you did not lead the army to rush into the enemy formation, but your actions at that time were also a countermeasure, and it was not a fault." ”

My tone tightened, and I immediately said viciously: "Unlike someone, who does not respect military orders, does not form a queue, rushes into the enemy formation without authorization, and regards military law as child's play, if it were not for the enemy army you forced to stand up, my 500 soldiers today would all fall into the enemy formation." ”

Seeing that I was angry, Zhang Fei immediately wilted, and stood beside him without saying a word.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Fu Zhu was leading a few yellow turban bandits towards me, raised his hand and motioned for Guan Hai to stand up, for fear of hitting the dirt on his body, and said: "Bingyuan, do you remember the rules of our Izumo City, except for the dead and the gods, none of us kneel, and although we are outside Izumo City now, we can't kneel to people casually." Do you think I'm dead? ”

My last sentence frightened Guan Hai and wanted to kneel down again, so I immediately pulled him behind me and turned to face the frustration that came to me.

Under the guidance of Fu Zhi, several Yellow Turban bandits hesitantly stepped forward to bow to me, and I said to them lightly: "I am Liu Bei Liu Xuande of Zhuo County, since I told you on the battlefield to "surrender and avoid death", you can not die today. ”

A few of the Yellow Turban bandits immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and I then asked them, "How many days have you not eaten?" ”

A few yellow turban thieves looked at each other, and a man with an old appearance came out and replied: "If you go back to your lordship, I will run out of food three days ago." ”

With no food for three days, it's no wonder these people look listless. I smiled and said to them, "Although you are from the people, you never think about the people, and wherever you pass, the people are rushing to escape, no wonder you can't get food." I will not kill you today, but you will promise me something, and I will give you some of the rations of the soldiers. ”

Hearing this, the gold bandits were grateful, and they all kowtowed and replied: "Ming Gong gave birth to me, and today he gave me food, but he has a life, and he dares not to die." ”

I waved my hand and said to them, "You are oppressing the officials because of the oppression of the officials, and the people will not be able to live, but you really should not rob the people, I will not investigate what you have done in the past today, but I hope that you will not rebel in the future." ”

I raised my hand and pointed to the four wildernesses, and said to them, "The world is so big, where is not home, and there is no trouble here, can't I go somewhere else?" Why should you take pleasure in plundering others? ”

I know that what I am saying is just strong words, will the government really let the people move around? I doubt it. But at this moment, presumably they can't refute it.

With a sigh of relief, I said to them, "Since your brothers have chosen you, and the responsibility for managing these people has been left to you, go down and organize your brothers into small groups of ten, ten for one part, and ten for one song, and tell your brothers what I say, and then come back to receive the meal according to the group." ”

After arranging these, I said to Guan and Zhang, "Let's go back to the tent and wait for Zou Jing." Turning my head, I said to Guan Hai: "Bingyuan, you maintain order here, Zizheng, come with me." ”

Not long after arriving at the big tent of the Chinese army, Tian Feng also came in with a credit book. Not long after Zhang Fei was reprimanded by me, he saw Tian Feng and did not dare to come forward to register his credit. I looked up at the sky, and estimated that Zou Jing would not come until the party. Hitting children on a rainy day, idle is idle, I raised my hand and ordered, and the two lieutenants of Zhang Fei came in.

As soon as I saw Zhang Fei's two lieutenants, I asked, "Tell me, what did you do today?" ”

The two lieutenants immediately talked excitedly about their merits, nothing more than how brave and invincible they were, and they killed a few people in and out of the enemy formation, and there was no lack of praise for Zhang Fei's bravery, Zhang Fei listened to it, and was proud.

I asked with a gloomy face: "You two are both caravan guards (of Su and Zhang's two merchants), have you passed the officer assessment?" Newspaper name".

The two lieutenants saw that the atmosphere was not right, and one of the lieutenants immediately said cautiously: "I am Jin Xu, the first lieutenant of Izumo City, whose name is Linglong, who has been following the lord since Jinan Mansion, and is now a citizen of Izumo City (recommended by book friends). ”

The other lieutenant also carefully lowered his voice and replied: "I am Zhang Jian, the first lieutenant of Izumo City, whose name is Xin He, a citizen of Izumo City (recommended by book friend Donghui), and I have also followed the lord since Jinan Mansion. ”

I nodded, these two people, I remember, are the cavalry generals of the halberd, these two originally belonged to Liu Kai's forward battalion, and later participated in the caravan, both of them are aggressive, I thought that under Zhang Fei, I could get what they are good at, but I didn't expect that the three reckless men met together. Confused.

I held back my anger and asked calmly: "Tell me about the two of you, what formation you have adopted for your attack today." ”

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and I continued to suppress my anger and said to them, "Have you forgotten what I said to you when you entered the school that day? ”

After saying that, I stood up, raised my voice, and repeated my original words that day: "The victory of the battle is nothing but organized fighting without organization, and there is change and no change. In the past, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, learned martial arts from his uncle, and after a few days of learning, he was unwilling to learn again, and his uncle asked him why he didn't want to learn again, and he replied, 'No matter how advanced the martial arts are, it is just one enemy, ten enemies, and a hundred enemies, and I want to learn the kung fu of ten thousand enemies'. The uncle was overjoyed and immediately began to teach him the art of war. The art of war is the kung fu of ten thousand enemies. ”

After speaking, I looked at the two of them angrily, "Captain of the first phase? Also citizenship? You have been learning the battle formations and formation queue changes for so long, but you don't need to fight, have you learned to be eaten by dogs? ”

I jumped up next to them and circled them a few times, and they were both shivering with fear. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, raised my foot and kicked the two of them, and shouted: "I know what kind of peerless generals you have become, what great achievements you have made, if it weren't for Yun Chang and Bingyuan to save you today, you would have died ugly." ”

After kicking, I was still angry, and when I saw the horsewhip in my hand, I raised the horsewhip and prepared to beat them hard.

Wait, wouldn't I be the same as Zhang Fei like this, he led the army for the first time, I don't want to set a bad example for him.

Thinking of this, I slowly put down my horsewhip, took a few long breaths, and calmed down. He said to them with a pleasant face: "Get up, no matter what, you have also fought for a long time, this time I am too anxious, remember what I said." Don't make that mistake again. You go to Tian Gong, the division of the left army, to register your merits, and in the future, your own military judge will reward and punish you."

Turning around, I said to the two of them: "Fu Gong Tian Gong, see and laugh, as a general, when you are happy and angry, I look at the two bastards today, hate them for not being talented, and lose their temper." ”

Frustrated, Tian Feng said unceremoniously: "The rewards and punishments in the army need to be equal, and the two subordinate officials are punished, how can those who are superior officials not be punished." ”

I glanced at Tian Feng, this person spoke so straightforwardly, no wonder he was not popular with Yuan Shao, but how could I be as small as Yuan Shao. Looking back at Zhang Fei, he shrank on the side of a few cases, his heart was unwilling, my heart softened, and he said: "The third brother has a strong temperament, I have to think of a good way to sharpen his temperament, oh, let him draw a picture of a lady with a fine brush, and if he can't draw it, he is not allowed to eat." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this punishment, his face bloomed with joy, and he waved his hand to stop Guan Yu's persuasion, and said one after another: "I'll paint, go paint." After speaking, he pulled Guan Yu and ran out of the big tent.

Frustrated and worried, he said: "Won't this punishment be too heavy, Yide is such a rough person, let him draw fine brushwork, it is estimated that he will not be able to draw for a month, if you really don't allow him to eat, won't you break my general?" When Tian Feng heard this, he also nodded one after another.

I steal fun alone, they don't know, Zhang Fei has been anxious since he was a child, Zhang Fei's father invited several gentlemen to teach him to read in order to train him well, but unfortunately he was angry and ran away. Finally, one day, an old gentleman honed his character by tricking him into practicing calligraphy and painting, both of which require the most peace of mind and patience. In the end, Zhang Fei became a master of calligraphy, and his "Mengshan sticker" was handed down in later generations, but it is a pity that the picture of the lady of Gongbi has not been preserved to this day. With his level, it is estimated that after a while, he will come to me with a painting.

However, I didn't want to say it directly, so I just nodded and said: "The first time I painted, even if he painted a duck, I also recognized it, didn't it just make him lose his temperament, why bother seeking truth." ”

Looking at the two lieutenants who were still in the tent, I said, "Next time, if these two make mistakes, I will also let them draw pictures of ladies with fine brushes." ”

The two lieutenants shuddered, and after registering, they hurriedly flashed.
