Chapter 258: Punishment
"This ...... Please forgive me, Shogun! Hearing Zhang Shihua's scolding like this, Shi Shisan, who was the deputy Wanhu, and the others, couldn't help but plead guilty to Zhang Shihua one after another when the cold sweat on their foreheads was already covering their faces. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Big brother, please forgive my sins, I made them drink. I thought that the Tartars had been scared by us for the past two days, so I couldn't hold back my addiction to alcohol for a while, and took them to drink some wine together. Please forgive the eldest brother, please forgive the eldest brother. After Shi Shisan's generals bowed down to each other, Zhang Shihui, who was standing at the front, silently wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua on one knee.
However, for this, Zhang Shihua not only did not lose his anger, but raised his leg and kicked Zhang Shihui's shoulder. After kicking it down, he pointed at Zhang Shihui's nose and scolded: "Do you think, do you think you are Zhuge Kongming!" ”
"As an official of ten thousand households, an example of thousands of soldiers, you don't know what you do, you dare to drink with other generals. I ...... today I'm going to kill you useless thing today! Saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but raise his leg and kick it again, and suddenly kicked Zhang Shihui, who had just straightened up, into a rolling gourd.
"General, Shogun, Shogun, Shogun, Shogun. Zhong Yao (the word given by Zhang Shihua's uneducated father after Zhang Shihui married his wife) General is also confused for a while, you can see General Zhong Yao's past merits, spare him this time. When Li Wu and the others behind Zhang Shihua saw Zhang Shihua kicking twice in a row, they were afraid that Zhang Shihua would ruin the brotherhood between the two because he was angry.
Li Wu and the others couldn't help but kneel in front of Zhang Shihua one after another, and pleaded with Zhang Shihua like this.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua glanced at Zhang Shihui, who was kneeling there obediently and did not defend himself from beginning to end, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Zhang Shihui: "For the sake of Ah Wu, they intercede for you, I will spare you this time." ”
"But the death penalty is avoidable, and the living sin is inescapable. It is a great sin for you to gather a crowd to drink as an official of ten thousand households, and it is also a sin for the rest of the generals to drink with you in wartime without knowing that they are in mind their duties. Come on, let me pull Zhang Shihui down, 60 military sticks, and the rest of the generals will beat 30 military sticks. ”
After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help glaring at Li Wu and asked him to hurry up and carry it out.
However, when Li Wu saw this, after glancing at Zhang Shihua with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but persuade him: "General, these sixty military sticks are too much." General Zhong Yao, after all, he still has to command the battle, if it is broken at this time, it will not be good. ”
After saying this, Li Wu couldn't help but bow his head violently. Obviously, this sentence had already made him run out of courage. After all, although Zhang Shihua treats his subordinates like a brother and sister alone, after experiencing so many things, Zhang Shihua's prestige in the army is simply unimaginable.
Therefore, in the army, as long as Zhang Shihua gave an order, no one would dare to refute it. The reason why Li Wu dared to stand up this time was just because Zhang Shihui's identity was different. But even so, Li Wu only dared to say this once.
So no matter whether Zhang Shihua can listen to it or not, he will never dare to say it a second time.
But this time, he was right. Sixty military sticks are indeed too heavy, if this is really beaten, let alone people, the cow is estimated to be killed.
Therefore, after Zhang Shihua was slightly silent for a moment, he couldn't help but solemnize his face, and nodded lightly: "In this case, I will punish him with thirty military sticks first, and the rest will be punished after the war!" ”
"Thank you, big brother!" After hearing Zhang Shihua say this, and understanding that Zhang Shihua intended to reduce the punishment, Zhang Shihui, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but hug his fists with a little gratitude.
However, Zhang Shihua did not pay attention to this. just looked at Li Wu with a solemn face and said, "Ah Wu will be executed." I'm here to see with my own eyes, and you're going to beat me hard, you know! ”
"The last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but hurriedly sing a fat promise.
However, when Li Wu was about to be executed, Zhang Shihui, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly clenched his fists and said: "Brother Qiqi, Thirteen, he didn't drink with me this time, and he also advised me before I drank." So thirteen, he doesn't need to be punished this time, please spare the eldest brother. ”
However, Zhang Shihui said this, Zhang Shihua looked at Shi Shisan, who was kneeling on the ground and did not defend himself at all, but snorted coldly: "Shi Shisan, as your deputy, should have advised you like this." But since you have not listened to the advice, and he has not reported it to me, it is his dereliction of duty as a deputy householder. ”
"So even if he didn't drink alcohol this time, he won't be spared punishment for it, you understand?" After saying this, Zhang Shihua waved his hand and couldn't help but signal Li Wu to continue the execution.
However, for Zhang Shihua's verdict, Shi Shisan himself did not show any unconvinced.
When Zhang Shihua saw this, while seeing it in his eyes, he couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.
After all, Shi Shisan was in the past, but Zhang Shihua personally elected the military judge, what kind of character he was, Zhang Shihua himself naturally knew. So even if Zhang Shihui didn't say it, Zhang Shihua actually knew that Shi Shisan didn't drink alcohol this time.
So strictly speaking, Zhang Shihua's punishment of Shi 13 this time is like a wrong punishment at all. And Zhang Shihua himself knew about this, but he still did it.
This is not to say that Zhang Shihua really didn't hide that Shi Shisan didn't report to him in advance. After all, in this era where loyalty is the universal value, secretly hitting one's boss for a small report to one's boss is itself a kind of disloyalty and injustice to one's boss.
Therefore, although Shi Shisan is extremely loyal to Zhang Shihua, he may not be able to do such a thing.
And the reason why Zhang Shihua wanted to punish him for this was to find an excuse. so as not to be isolated by everyone when everyone has been punished, but Shi 13 has escaped punishment.
After all, Shi 13 was a military judge before, and he didn't make any decent contributions on the battlefield. Zhang Shihua promoted him to a deputy Wanhu at once this time, and there are already many people who don't hide it. Therefore, Zhang Shihua naturally didn't want Shi Shisan to be isolated by his colleagues.
As for doing so, will it make Shi Shisan, who was punished in vain, resentful in his heart. Hmph, if Shi Shisan is really such a person, how could Zhang Shihua reuse him.
Let's not talk about these things first, then again, let's talk about Li Wu's side.
After receiving the order loudly, Li Wu couldn't help but say "offended" to Zhang Shihui and others, so he took a kind of personal guards under his subordinates, and in front of Zhang Shihua, pulled off the pants of Zhang Shihui and others, and beat the military stick heavily.
"Smack! Syllable! Smack! …… Yes! Yikes! Yes! The crackling sound of sticks to meat, accompanied by the painful moans of Zhang Shihui and other men, couldn't help but give people a chill down their spines.
Especially when the surrounding onlookers saw with their own eyes the bloody buttocks of Zhang Shihui and other generals being beaten under the military sticks, the chill in their hearts was even worse.
"Smack! Syllable! Smack! After a long burst of stick-to-meat military sticks, these iron men who were fighting on the battlefield couldn't help but be beaten into meat on the board, and they couldn't move.
"General, the military stick is finished, you see ......" After the heavy thirty military sticks were beaten, Li Wu wiped the sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but ask Zhang Shihua like this.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua waved his hand to these people, and after saying goodbye to these people, he couldn't help but stand up from the chair brought by the guard, and strode away.
"Brother Xie, spare your life! General Xie spares his life! Seeing Zhang Shihua leaving, he didn't pursue it anymore, and Zhang Shihui and the others, who were lying on the ground, couldn't help but punch Zhang Shihua with both hands.
And Li Wu, who was still holding a military stick, saw Zhang Shihua leaving with people, so he couldn't help but throw down the military stick in his hand, and scolded the soldiers who were watching next to him: "What the hell are you still doing in a daze, why don't you help your generals back quickly." ”
After saying this, Li Wu couldn't help but pick up his saber, said "take care" to Zhang Shihui and the others, and then followed quickly in the direction where Zhang Shihua left.
……
"Oh, slow down, slow down, put me and Thirteen on those two beds." was heavily beaten with thirty military sticks, and even Zhang Shihui was already unable to act. After Zhang Shihua left, the two of them couldn't help but be carefully carried into the city gate tower by their subordinates and let them lie on the bed.
"Thirteen, this time I can't stand you, not only did I not listen to your advice, but I also caused you to be punished with me. Oh, ouch, you tap the medicine, you tap the medicine......" After pouting his ass and lying on the bed, Zhang Shihui asked his guards to give medicine to his buttocks, but he couldn't help but say this to Shi Shisan, who was biting where he was enduring.
However, Shi Shisan, who was gritting his teeth and taking medicine there, heard this, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What is the general talking about?" Besides, as your deputy to the general, I failed to advise you properly and cause you to be punished by the general, so I should be punished with you. ”
After saying this, Shi Shisan, who had been enduring the pain, couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Haha, Thirteen, good brother. Just by your words, I will recognize you as a brother for the rest of my life. Seeing Shi Thirteen like this, Zhang Shihui grinned, and couldn't help but look at Shi Thirteen who gritted his teeth.
"Haha, even if that's the case, the last general will be cheeky." Hearing Zhang Shihui's words, Shi Shisan, who has always been known for his solemnity, couldn't help but say so surprisingly.
"Oh! Haha, good, good. Hearing Shi Shisan's words, Zhang Shihui was surprised, and he couldn't help but smile at each other, and said so.
And the words are divided into two ends, saying that when Zhang Shihui and the others gritted their teeth to medicate their injured buttocks, in the general's mansion where Zhang Shihua temporarily stayed, Jiang Da, the thousand-household official in charge of the scout camp, couldn't help but bring an emergency military order to Zhang Shihua.
……
"Your Excellency General Qiyu, an hour ago, forty miles north of the city, I found an extremely strange Tartar army, which seemed to be reinforcements from the Tartar army outside the city. Therefore, the last general hurried back to report to you, the general, as soon as possible. After being exempted by Zhang Shihua, Jiang Da bowed his head and stood respectfully in front of Zhang Shihua's desk, and couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihua like this.
As for Jiang Da's somewhat incomprehensible words, Zhang Shihua frowned slightly, and then asked, "Oh, extremely strange Tartar troops. Then tell me, what is so strange about this Tartar army? ”
"This ...... Back to the words of the General. It is said that this force that came from the direction of Shangshe is definitely a reinforcement from the Tartars outside the city, but the scale of this support army is very small, and the total number of men and horses is even less than a thousand. Supposedly, at this time, a thousand reinforcements are simply useless. So from this point of view, this support army can't help but look very strange in terms of strength. ”
"And not only that, but what is even more strange is that the support force is also carrying twenty planes and strange things, which causes the support force to march very slowly. However, the things they escorted seemed to be extremely important, for the last general saw with his own eyes that the Tartar army outside the city, fifty miles north of the city, sent out two thousand horsemen at once, as if to escort those things. After organizing his speech a little, Jiang Daben couldn't help but say what he thought to Zhang Shihua as it was.
And when Zhang Shihua heard him say this, after frowning slightly, he couldn't help but say to himself: "It's obviously reinforcements, but there are not many soldiers and horses." And there are not many soldiers and horses, and it seems to be an extremely important thing to escort it. So, from this point of view, these are the things that I don't spend these days relying on. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but raise his head violently, looked at Jiang Da and asked, "Jiang Da, can you see the things escorted by the Tartars clearly?" ”
"Back to the general's words, after paying the lives of fifteen or sixteen good brothers, that thing can be seen clearly. However, the general had never seen the thing, so they had the appearance of the thing drawn. You see, general, that's what they're escorting. ”
Saying this, Jiang Da couldn't help but take out a piece of drawing paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shihua with both hands.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua stretched out his hand to take the drawing paper handed by Jiang Da, but he couldn't help exclaiming: "Artillery!" ”
"Artillery, what is artillery?" Hearing Zhang Shihua's exclamation, Li Wu and Jiang Da were surprised by Zhang Shihua's reaction, and at the same time, they couldn't help but ask secretly in their hearts.
After all, in this year, artillery is too rare, and people like Li Wu and Jiang Da have never heard of it at all. However, seeing Zhang Shihua's reaction, Li Wu and Jiang Da couldn't help but secretly think in their hearts, "This artillery should be a very powerful thing, otherwise the general would not be so out of shape." ”
So after thinking about it like this, these people couldn't help but become more and more curious. Therefore, in the next moment, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhang Shihua, hoping that Zhang Shihua could explain to them and satisfy their curiosity.
