Chapter 68: Ci is not in charge of the troops
There were two escapees, one was an old man in his thirties and forties, his face was full of wind and frost, and his face was sad. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The other one was incredibly young, a young boy with fear in his eyes, and Mingyue felt that he would not be much older than herself.
They tumbled out of the camp in the dead of night, intending to flee westward in Yifu, but were caught by the Qi people who were patrolling outside the south gate, and after learning of their identities, the Qi people escorted them to the Zhao pawn barracks in the Zishui camp.
Mingyue vaguely remembered their faces, on the way to Linzi, the two of them also cheered for themselves when they were treated, how could they say that they would run away?
But at this moment, he didn't care about them, because it was Kuang Liang who gambled with him at the banquet of the prince of Qi that day who captured the two of them.
Kuang Liang looked majestic after putting on the armor, he stood in front of Mingyue, and said triumphantly: "Chang'anjun, this is the reason why I don't let his generation enter Linzi, these Zhao people's military discipline is so untidy, once they enter Linzi, it is like a school of fish entering the lake, and they will run away in a few days, and they can't be found at all." ”
The matter has come to this, Mingyue can only stubbornly say: "Today's matter, thanks to General Kuang." ”
Kuang Liang was even more proud, he swept around this temporary camp, and found that it was neatly planned and orderly, which was stronger than the camp of technical attack, and couldn't help nodding, but in the end, he said contemptuously: "The barracks are dead, the people are alive, and the camp is well established, if you can't prohibit it and order it, this barracks is also like a broken house, allowing people to come and go freely!" ”
The implication is that there is no way to control the officials.
"Not bad, not bad."
For a while, Kuang Liang's words caused a response. The technical fighters of the Zishui Battalion are loose and slack on weekdays, and suddenly there is a group of Zhao pawns who practice every day next to them, and they are very unaccustomed to it. I was unhappy with them, but when this happened today, I gloated outside the fence, laughing at the Zhao people who practiced all day long, and someone became a deserter?
Zhao Kuo was angry, and immediately stood up and said, "General Kuang, is this saying that I am incompetent?" ”
Kuang Liang was a head taller than Zhao Kuo, looked down at him, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
Zhao Kuo was right, glared and said: "I am the son of Zhao Guoma Fujun, Zhao Kuo." ”
"Ma Fujun!"
The Qi generals behind Kuang Liang were all shocked, Zhao Hao was a famous general who defeated the Qi people in the Battle of Maiqiu, and he is still in the Qi country.
Kuang Liang didn't think so, he was Kuang Zhang's grandson, and he had always been unhappy with the so-called "famous generals" in foreign countries.
"When my grandfather repelled the strong Qin in Sanqiu, broke the Yanke Ji capital in ten days, defeated the Chu general Tang Yu in the weesha sand, and the Shuai Five Nations Alliance Army attacked Hangu Pass to force the King of Qin to sue for peace, what Le Yi, Zhao Hao, Lian Po, and Bai Qi were still eating ashes in Xingwu City!"
So he laughed and said: "It turned out to be the son of Ma Fujun, if you don't say it, I will never guess it, because Ma Fujun and other veterans, how can there be a son who can't even manage more than a hundred soldiers, it's really a son who is not as good as a father, it's a pity." Chang'anjun, you asked me to gamble with "The Art of War of Qi Sun Tzu", could it be that it was to let this son learn the art of war? Hey, I'm afraid that Chang'anjun will work hard, but he will end up with rotten wood that cannot be carved, and dung that cannot be carved on the wall! ”
"Bold!"
Zhao Kuo had never been so angry when he was in the country, he was suddenly furious, and almost pulled out his sword, but Mingyue stopped him.
Mingyue could see that from beginning to end, this Kuang Liang was a representative figure of the prince's party who was hostile to Zhao State, and today he wanted to deliberately provoke and let the Zhao people and Qi people fight, but he couldn't be fooled.
He sneered and said: "Today's matter is that I have no way to govern and cause trouble to General Kuang, and I will thank the general another day." It's just that how to discipline the soldiers under my command is a private matter of my Zhao people, so there is no need for the general to point out. ”
Kuang Liang put away his posture and said: "This is natural, how dare I interfere in Chang'anjun's private affairs, I just hope that this 'son of Ma Fujun' can manage his soldiers well, if he sneaks into Linzi and kills people and robs money, I have to take care of it!" ”
After that, he smiled proudly, turned to leave, and before leaving, he seemed to remember something, and shouted with a little provocation: "Chang'anjun, now that ten days have passed, can your Zhao State liquor be brewed?" I can't wait to try it. ”
Mingyue is neither humble nor arrogant: "The wine is almost ready, I must let General Kuang taste enough in the month, if the general is drunk when the time comes, you must remember to fulfill your promise, I am looking forward to the general holding the bridle for me." ”
"Hahaha, I won't lose, Chang Anjun is still worried about his wealth."
Kuang Liang waved his hand, and all the Qi State fighters who came to the camp to watch dispersed, and soon, only the Zhao people in the camp were left with a somewhat depressed atmosphere.
Zhao Kuo was still angry and said, "Chang'anjun, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have been on a par with that erector!" ”
Mingyue made a straight face: "How to divide it?" Do you think that whoever you change will be like Ma Fujun, discussing the art of war with you, deducing the battle, and slowly dividing the victory and defeat? ”
"I ......" Zhao Kuo was speechless, yes, after leaving Zhao Kingdom, he was no longer facing his father who seemed to be harsh, but had been listening to him, but more inexplicable hostility.
After glaring at Zhao Kuo, Mingyue sighed: "Today's matter, after all, we made a mistake. If you want to be shamed, you must first really enforce the ban so that you will not give people the opportunity to humiliate you! ”
"Yes, it's all because of those two fugitives that Kuang Liang saw our jokes."
Zhao Kuo's anger boiled, and he ordered: "Bring those two up!" ”
……
The two fugitives were tied up and kneeled on the ground with their arms twisted backwards, the older one had a gray face and pursed his lips, and the younger one was pale and almost cried. They were all dressed in crude civilian clothing, the straw sandals on their feet had been shaken off as they fled, and the older had a bloody mark on the leg from a thorn.
Mingyue sat on the main seat side by side with Zhao Kuo, but he didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, he wanted to see how Zhao Kuo would deal with this situation.
The two of them trembled, and Zhao Kuo in front of them was like a wolf king who had been betrayed by his subordinates, staring at them with red eyes, if his anger turned into flames, he was afraid that he would have scorched the two.
"I remember that your name is Yuan, and your name is Wu, but you are a father and son, and you are from Xindu......"
"Only ......" The elder was ashamed for a while when he saw that Zhao Kuo actually remembered their names.
"Say!"
Zhao Kuo patted the case in front of him, and the pottery cup trembled: "Chang'an Jun treats you and others very well, and I also share food and clothing with you, sharing joys and sorrows, why do you want to escape!" ”
"Ma Fuzi, we can't ......help it" The middle-aged man cried with a sad face, Ma Fuzi, this is the honorific title of the soldiers for Zhao Kuo.
"We were originally soldiers under the command of the Captain of Handan, and it was an honor to be selected by Ma Fuzi to come to Linzi to defend Chang'anjun. But as soon as I arrived in Linzi, I received a letter from home, saying that my wife was seriously ill, and the bride of my eldest son was about to give birth, and the family lacked food and salt, and was in urgent need of food, clothing, money, and silk. The villain was also confused for a while, so he fled with his son last night, and wanted to rush back to see his wife for the last time, and he could also help the family collect wheat ......"
Zhao Kuo was even more angry: "There is an urgent matter at home, if you can report to me, I will naturally ask someone to help, or release your father and son and return to Zhao, why do you need to make such a decision, violate my military order, and become a fugitive!" also let Qi people see the joke, shame! Hateful! ”
The fugitive and his son, who didn't dare to speak, looked at Chang Anjun and Zhao Kuo like garlic: "The villain knows that he is wrong, and I hope that Chang Anjun and Ma Fuzi will forgive, the villain and the son will never dare again!" ”
Zhao Kuo's anger had already reached its peak, but at this moment he hesitated, turned his head to look at Mingyue: "Chang'anjun, this ......"
"Don't ask me."
Mingyue also had a soft heart for a while, but she still hardened her heart and warned herself that this was the Warring States.
"The army hears the general's order, but does not hear the edict of the princes. In the barracks, the generals are the main ones, brackets, although you are only a centurion, you are also their main general. I hand them over to you, and I have the right to live and kill these hundred people, and it is up to you to decide how to punish today's affairs! ”
……
"I'm in charge?"
Zhao Kuo groaned, this month's relationship, he also had a bit of friendship with the soldiers, "treating the pawns as naked", which was also what Chang Anjun reminded him, but now, it's time to be ruthless.
The next words, Zhao Kuo squeezed out from between his teeth: "As early as when I set off from Handan, I made it clear with a military order that the second and third sons were injured and sick, so as to avoid the expedition, and if there was something to report, they would flee, and the offender would be beheaded!" Now you two knowingly commit a capital crime, and if you run a hundred steps, it will be death, and if you run fifty steps, you will also die! ”
As soon as these words came out, the young boy was almost stupid, and the older fugitive was dumbfounded and shouted: "Ma Fuzi, if you want to kill, kill the villain, please spare my son, he is only seventeen years old, and he has just become a master!" ”
He's younger than me...... Zhao Kuo thought in his heart, he remembered that this young man named "Wu" was always very active in practice, looking at himself with adoring eyes, perhaps in his eyes, he memorized the art of war backwards like a stream, and rode a horse with a tall horse, which was a god-like existence.
"He has become a general, can the villain be a pawn for you?" One day, he asked with his face held high, when the sun shone on his dark face, full of innocence.
Now, the boy who once said he was going to be a pawn for himself has become a fugitive, he is facing the death penalty, and he is in tears, he just wants to see his mother for the last time, does he really have to kill him? Zhao Kuo himself, in the dead of night, will also miss his gentle mother, his timid brother, and even his strict father......
Chang An Jun behind him seemed to sense his hesitation, stood up, and added such a sentence in front of everyone.
"Your family members, every soldier who comes to Zizi with me, will have some food and money for the bereavement, and when you return to China, there will be another payment, don't worry about your family anymore."
This sparked a wave of gratitude from the soldiers, and the two fugitives were overjoyed.
But then he lowered his eyes and whispered like a sigh: "But they themselves, disobeying the order is disobeying the order, and the fugitive is the fugitive, bracket, Ci is not in charge of the army......"
Zhao Kuo's face was shaken and hesitant, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Wu Zi said, Fu Mo drum Jin Duo, so Wei Er; The banner is commanding, so it is prestigious; The ban is punished, so the prestige. ”
"The ear is more powerful than the sound, and it cannot be forgotten; The eyes are mighty, and they must not be unknown; The heart is powerful and the punishment must not be strict! ”
In the mournful begging for mercy of the two fugitives, Zhao Kuo took out a talisman from the lottery holder on the desk, they were made of mulberry wood, and they were lightly fluttering in the palm of his hand.
In the past, Zhao Kuo didn't feel that at this moment, he really felt that they were so important, because they were related to life and death.
With a flick of his fingers, he flung it gently to the ground.
"Listen to my military order, behead these two people, and hang their heads on the gate to set an example!"
