"Two captains, I have something to say." Shang Bin next to him suddenly said boldly.

"Huh?" Li Dingguo looked at him, Shang Bin, the old man in the team, I know, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Brother Yan and the third brother were afraid that we would catch a cold because the rain was too strong, so they went to boil ginger soup for everyone, so they were not at the scene, and there was a reason for the incident, and the captain was asked to open the net." Shang Bin is pleading for Lao Yan and Lao San, afraid that the punishment of the two will be too heavy, when training in peacetime, whoever makes a mistake and is lazy can be abused to the point of pain, not to mention that he is on a business trip on the battlefield.

"It's right to boil ginger soup, the fault is that both of us shouldn't have left the city, alas, if there was one left, so many sons would not have died." Lao Yan said remorsefully.

The third child knelt on the ground and was silent, he knew that because of the other party's clumsy performance these days, he was a little underestimated, otherwise he would not have called Lao Yan to boil ginger soup together, and Lao Yan would not have agreed.

"That being the case, then..." Li Dingguo and the others did not doubt Shang Bin's words, at this time, a big iron pot in the city gate tower had been tumbled over, and the rich ginger smell was scattered everywhere, there was a reason for it, and there was no rule, Li Dingguo planned to stop there, let the brothers kill more enemies in the future, and make meritorious contributions to the crime.

"No!" Without waiting for Li Dingguo to finish speaking, the old man who knelt on the ground bowed his head to the ground, "There is no reward for meritorious service, and it is taboo not to be punished for mistakes, Dingguo, you can't be soft-hearted just because you have a friendship with us." ”

"This..."Li Dingguo hesitated, he could see that Lao Yan not only wanted to maintain the order of Zhuolu Mountain, but also felt guilty because of the death of many team members.

"That's it," Song Caijie suddenly interjected, "Now that the war is not over, Brother Yan's fault and third brother's fault, let's not deal with it first, let the two of them continue to lead the troops to fight, and after the bandits retreat, punish the two of them to go to the top of the mountain to wash wool, well, twelve people died, then wash for twelve days, how about it?" ”

What the? Washing wool? What the heck? Huang Long and Liu Zhe, who were kneeling on the ground, were puzzled, what kind of punishment was this.

Lao Yan said loudly, "That's right, Xiao Jie's handling is good, and the two of us will be punished after the war." ”

The third child's face changed, and he said with a bitter face, "You deserve this punishment." ”

Outsiders don't know the details of this wool washing, but the third child knows that now the place where the wool is washed on the top of the mountain can be regarded as a forbidden place in Zhuolu Mountain, saying that it is a forbidden place, one is because except for a few high-level people, idle people are not allowed to enter without permission, even Zhou Chengyun did not go in to see.

The more important reason is that the situation there is really bad, the smell of the waste water that has washed the wool is puffy, it is poured from the cliff on the top of the mountain, and the whole place for washing wool is filled with a strong stench at any time, and anyone who has been there will not want to go to the second time, that is, Song Caijie, who has a cold face now, is also frowning when he goes there, well, except for Sun Dachun (eight thousand) and Zhiwen.

As for washing wool, it is even more sinful, not only to endure a stronger stench to jump into the vat of washing wool, after a long time, the hands and feet of washing wool are dry and peeling, that is light, blistering sores and pus are not uncommon, the guards of Yanjia Village who chased and killed them at the beginning, after being captured, went to Zhuolu Mountain to do this, if it were not for eating and drinking it was not bad, and there were ankle chains to serve, and the strong pressure of the team, I am afraid that it would have rebelled a long time ago, which is also the reason why the refugees' lives have improved slightly, and they are unwilling to wash wool.

"Okay, so be it." Li Dingguo, Song Xiance and Sun Kewang all nodded in agreement, since Lao Yan and the third of them are bent on seeking punishment, it is not bad to deal with them like this, it is better than whipping and other corporal punishments, which will not damage the combat power, but also play a disciplinary role, don't you see that the team members have changed their faces one by one?

"Okay, okay," Song Xiance clapped his hands, "Brother Yan and the third brother should all get up, it's raining, the ground is cold, don't get sick, since the ginger soup is cooked, except for the vigilant, everyone will go and drink a bowl." ”

"Hey, Brother Yan, third brother, isn't this your bow?" When he was about to reach the city gate, Li Dingguo asked, "Broken?" "The bowstrings were soft and deformed.

"The rain was so heavy that it broke the bowstring." Lao Yan explained that although they were in a hurry to help, the bow was still thrown in the city gate, so it didn't rain, and the terrain was higher, otherwise the bow body would have been soaked at this time.

"So... Bows and arrows didn't come in handy? Li Dingguo asked anxiously.

The third shook his head, "No, not a single arrow was fired." ”

Li Dingguo was relieved, the situation was urgent at that time, and if he really wanted to use arrows, he would definitely not say anything, but it was naturally better if he didn't use them, and the reason why Li Dingguo never let Lao Yan and the third brother use arrows was that he had made a special plan.

In today's battle, Zhuolu Mountain didn't use arrows, and the bandits would definitely not have any defenses in the future.

"By the way, Dingguo, what about those captured bandits?" Sun Kewang next to him asked.

"What to do? Kill it! Li Dingguo said without the slightest delay and without hesitation.

"Killed? One doesn't stay? ”

"That's right!"

Sun Kewang smacked his lips, he knew that it was so simple, why did he have to stop the third brother, "Shang Bin, kill all the bandits, arrange some brothers, and practice courage!" He turned his head and arranged.

Huang Long, who was kneeling on the ground, had been paying attention to the newcomers, the rain was heavy, and he was separated by some distance at this time, and he didn't hear how to deal with them, but when he saw someone holding a long stick and walking towards them with an expressionless face, he instantly understood what was going on, but at this time, not only was the blade gone, but even his hands were tied behind his back, and he couldn't resist if he wanted to.

In order to survive, Huang Long didn't care about the blood stains on the ground, so he immediately rolled on the ground several times, and walked several steps on his knees, getting closer to Li Dingguo and the others, and shouted, "Spare your life!" A few masters, our brothers are still useful! In the future, where you point, we will fight, go to the soup and the fire, and never retreat! ”

"I don't need to!" Li Dingguo said without looking back, these people's personal force is indeed strong, but they are all soldiers, they can only fight a good fight, and when they encounter hard bones, they will become soft-footed shrimps, today's battle is the best proof, if they are used, there is a chance that they will become a drag on the battlefield, and the military discipline is poor, maybe it will bring the atmosphere of Zhuolu Mountain to be bad, he doesn't want such subordinates.

Shang Bin, who was following closely, heard this, and raised his spear to make a move.

"Wait a minute!" Song Caijie suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "Mr. Song, Dingguo, Kewang, you say, is there less manpower for us to wash wool?" ”

"It's less," Song Xiance nodded, when he was busiest a few days ago, his biggest headache was the speed of washing wool, "What do you mean...?" ”

"That's right, let them wash their wool." Song Caijie said that his suggestion has become a rule in Zhuolu Mountain in the future, and the fate of the captives is to wash the wool.

"It's okay," Li Dingguo hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed, "However, the leaders have a lot of brothers' blood on their hands, and in order not to chill the brothers, they can't be spared." ”

"Whatever you want!" The other three had no opinion.

In this way, Liu Zhe and Huang Long, who were supposed to be in the ninth year of Chongzhen, together with Gao Yingxiang, were captured by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and then escorted to Beijing to be executed, died in advance in Zhuolu Mountain, which is still unknown at this moment.
