Chapter 19: Receiving Punishment
"Zhuge Liang, this guy, is so pampered and arrogant, he will use me in public to stand up for me, kill chickens and monkeys, this account, you have to pay it back sooner or later! Before chasing the Central Plains, defeat it completely! ”
Liu Feng knew that Zhuge Liang was persecuting Liu Bei like this, making something out of nothing, and saying his own reasoning, this military law was inevitable, so he secretly decided in his heart that no matter what the cost, Zhuge Liang, the stumbling block to dominate the Central Plains in the future, would be kicked away within a few years.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng's eyebrows and eyes were already revealing a chill, facing everyone in the hall, and no longer hiding his hatred for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei saw this situation, knowing that Zhuge Liang was too conformist, and had already annoyed Liu Feng, and just wanted to open his mouth to persuade again, but heard Liu Fengsheng say coldly: "Father must not do anything to maintain the seal again, since this time he has mastered this slight truth, and he has received this military law, but don't you hear that he will be ordered by the king, and he should judge the situation, the city will not be attacked, and the land will not be attacked?" I don't know what kind of punishment the military advisor intends to inflict on me, to be killed with a rod? Beheading? ”
In the end, Liu Feng took two steps forward, step by step towards Zhuge Liang, who was still arrogant and still sitting on the bench, Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Feng's eyes were extremely unkind, and he knew that this nitpicking did not achieve its purpose of deterring Liu Feng, but aroused Liu Feng's endless anger.
"Ziwei, Hugh is talking nonsense, the military advisor is also to maintain the discipline of the new wild army, so he has no choice but to say that he will be killed with a cane and beheaded?"
How could Liu Bei not know that Liu Feng was already angry, and he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would stick to the rules, once he responded, it would be a bad thing, Liu Feng had repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the army, and today he was everywhere to protect Liu Bei Quanquan first, Liu Bei would not punish Liu Feng severely just for this crime of making something out of nothing, so heavy on literature and light on martial arts, it will definitely lead to the chill of the generals in the hall.
The matter has come to this, Zhuge Liang sighed secretly in his heart, although he did not want to kill Liu Feng in his heart, but he was put in an embarrassing place by Liu Feng with the words of wanting to capture him.
Although he was unwilling, Zhuge Liang still pretended to be relaxed, and said: "My lord, the mistakes committed by General Ziwei will never come to this, but he led my army in advance, if he is not punished, it may be difficult to convince the public, so in Kong Ming's humble opinion, he should be punished with a battle, ten battles are enough." ”
When everyone heard Kong Ming's words, they all looked at each other, the punishment of these ten battles was not light, it was heavy, but it was not heavy, but Liu Feng suffered these ten battles, so he couldn't ride a horse for at least half a month, couldn't use a knife, could only recuperate, and injuries to the flesh and skin were inevitable.
"Military advisor, Ziwei lured the enemy this time, and his meritorious service is not small, and I am afraid that Xiahoudun will return from this defeat, which will lead Cao Cao to personally lead the troops to come, can you write down these ten battles for the time being, and then let Ziwei receive the punishment when our army is stable?"
Liu Bei obviously thought that the punishment was a bit heavy at this time, Cao Jun came to commit it several times within a year, Xinye was the time to employ people, if Cao Jun came here when Liu Feng was recuperating from his injury, Xinye would be overstretched, so Liu Bei was quite unhappy about it.
"Father doesn't need to be sympathetic to me, today I received the punishment of these ten battles, if the Cao army will come tomorrow, Feng will also go into battle to kill the enemy, what is there to fear, but this time Feng lured that Xiahou Dun, but it is not easy, I hereby implore my father, the weapons and armor captured in my formation, used to equip the soldiers, if this matter can be satisfied, Feng's wish is enough!"
After Liu Feng finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Bei, bowed a few times, and then stood up and stood in the hall, waiting for Zhuge Liang to give orders.
The generals in the hall of this matter, even Guan Zhang and the others were also impressed by Liu Feng, when Liu Bei pleaded, if Liu Feng took a step back, the ten battles could be avoided, but Liu Feng did not care, but asked for captured equipment for the sergeants under his command, this kind of arrogance is by no means comparable to ordinary generals.
"In this case, according to Ziwei's words! All the things seized by the sergeants under Ziwei's command belong to Ziwei! Liu Bei also had nothing to say at this time, Liu Feng had this request, how could he not be reasonable, that Guan Zhang and others, the seized funds were also a lot, but after the war, they did not mention half a cent.
This matter has been decided, everyone looked at Zhuge Liang to see how he gave orders, Zhuge Liang was already ready to shoot at this time, his face was pale, and he said loudly: "General Liu Feng, who did not follow military discipline, privately led the army to stay in Bowang, so that the Xinye guards were empty, so he was charged with ten punishments, and it was immediately executed!" ”
Liu Feng just smiled coldly at this, and did not make a sound, as soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, two execution sergeants walked in outside the hall and invited Liu Feng out of the meeting hall to be executed outside the hall.
At the time of the execution, the two sergeants each held a battle on either side of Liu Feng, Liu Feng took off his armor and faced it calmly, but secretly mobilized his muscles to prepare to resist these ten battles and minimize the damage.
"Smack!" When a battle came, the sound was crisp, and the people around him were all unbearable, but Liu Feng was puzzled in his heart, although the battle fell very quickly, it fell on Liu Feng as if he had unloaded his strength, there was no sound, but he had no strength.
"Smack!" Another battle fell, but this time it was not as easy as the first battle, and Liu Feng gritted his teeth.
After several battles, Liu Feng understood the reason, the sergeant on the left did not use real strength in the battle, while the sergeant on the right was seriously executed and fought to the flesh.
At the end of the ten battles, Liu Feng's buttocks and legs were already bruised, because he had only suffered five battles, Liu Feng could still insist on walking, so he didn't need to be carried back on a stretcher, he only dressed himself neatly, looked deeply at the sergeant who was not exerting his strength, remembered his appearance, and returned to the meeting hall.
"Liu Feng has received the punishment!" As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Feng shouted to Zhuge Liang.
Everyone saw that Liu Feng had suffered ten battles, but he was still walking like a tiger, and he did not show fatigue, but there were faint beads of sweat on his face, which proved that he had indeed received a light punishment.
"That being the case, they will go back to their homes to recuperate, and Ziwei must not neglect the injury, so that he can recuperate!" Liu Bei was afraid that Liu Feng would have another dispute with Zhuge Liang, and it was getting late, so he sent everyone back to his house.
"General, then Zhuge Liang actually tortured you?"
As soon as Liu Feng stepped into the mansion, he saw Meng Yao and Li Chuang both standing in the courtyard, their faces were very anxious, and they obviously knew about Liu Feng's punishment. Seeing that Liu Feng didn't need to support him left and right, his heart was a little calm.
"Just a few battles, I can't help it, he wants to borrow me to establish his authority, I don't want him to get his wish, I want to come through this, then Zhuge Liang will not dare to provoke me easily. Such a small injury, rest for three days, and heal! ”
Liu Feng let the two into the hall and relieved them. Then he asked eagerly: "What is the loss of the 200 cavalry in this defense against Xiahoudun's army?" ”
