Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Arrogant Pawn
Li Yanzhao relied on the advantages established by speed and surprise attacks, and knocked down several of Pang Sima's ironclad soldiers one after another with lightning speed. Looking at the people in the field, they were stunned, and they didn't dare to take a bite when they stood in place.
Pang Sima witnessed Li Yanzhao's power and knocked down three of his men one after another. The shame that he felt that he was at a loss disappeared. He stretched out his finger at Li Yanzhao and said angrily: "Li Yanzhao! Hello bold! He was so arrogant and unruly in front of Ben Sima! ”
Li Yanzhao, who was standing in the middle of the field with red eyes and bloody hands, turned his head to look at Pang Sima, but there was a cold smile on his originally calm face, and he pointed in the direction where Liu Jiwu and the others took Cui Yang away. He shouted: "Pang Sima's men, how I will return my soldiers!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Yanzhao stepped on the ironclad soldier lying on the ground in front of him. The sharp pawn covered his face for a long time, and when he struggled to get up, he was stepped on by Li Yanzhao again and fell into the dust. Li Yanzhao didn't talk nonsense anymore, his right foot turned into kneeling, his knee was used as a fulcrum, and he used the weight of his whole body to press the sharp pawn so that he couldn't move, and then reached out for a fist, opened the bow left and right, and continued to beat the unlucky sharp pawn with a crackle.
"Stop!" When Pang Sima saw Li Yanzhao's appearance, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, he couldn't help but be even more angry in his heart, and shouted. However, Li Yanzhao seemed to be deaf, and continued to punch straight towards the poor sharp pawn on the ground.
"Li Yanzhao!" Pang Sima's expression was already furious. "I brought people here today, not to find your bad luck, but to take away the sergeant Dou Tong who left the camp without permission last night! You let me wait to take Dou Tong away, and I will write off today's matter with you, and never mention it again! Although he was furious at the moment, reason prevailed after all, and let him return to the beginning of things. He just wanted to fulfill his duties as the commander of the military law in the battalion, and take away the Dou Tong who left the camp without permission so that he could march the military law.
Although the subsequent events were beyond his expectations and beyond his control, he was sober and did not want to make a big deal out of it. If there is a quarrel between a Sima of another department in the army and a commander of 100 people, I believe that Du Jie, the governor of the thousand people, will never let the situation get bigger, and if the governor of the thousand people, or even Tai Shou, asks about this matter, I believe that both parties involved will not be able to get good.
Li Yanzhao heard Pang Sima's shout, but his demeanor was a little sober. He threw away the poor soldier on the ground who had been beating, stood up and faced Pang Sima, muttered for a few breaths, and then said something that shocked Pang Sima again.
"Take Dou Tong away, it's impossible!"
"Dou Tong left the camp without authorization, and those who let him in and out of the camp are all our soldiers, and I have drawn up a punishment for him. Then I don't want to worry about this matter. ”
Pang Sima thought that Li Yanzhao would nod his head in agreement when he heard that he did not want to expand the situation. Who knew that he would reply to himself like this! How unreasonable!
"Li Yanzhao! Ben Sima didn't expect you to be so crazy! Where do you put the military law! Pang Sima was already trembling with anger, his eyes widened, he looked at Li Yanzhao in disbelief, stretched out a hand, and pointed his index finger straight at him, as if he wanted to poke a hole in Li Yanzhao in front of him to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Li Yanzhao seemed to turn a blind eye to Pang Sima's anger, and said leisurely on the side: "The so-called military law, the executor is a person, and the object of execution is also a person. If you are human, you will inevitably make mistakes. It is not terrible to make mistakes, but if mistakes are made, military law should always give the errant a chance to make amends. didn't even have a chance to change, and as soon as he touched the military law, he was shown to the public, but Li didn't understand it, what kind of military law is this military law? Is this military law for the sake of serving the army, or is it for the sake of killing chickens and monkeys? ”
When Pang Sima heard Li Yanzhao's fallacies and heresies, he was already so angry that he couldn't help himself. He was still trembling and pointed at Li Yanzhao with his index finger, and said, "Good, good, good." Then Li Baichang, you are talking about it, how to deal with Dou Tong who left the camp without authorization? How to deal with the guards on duty who are open to their departure and return to the camp? ”
"Dou Tong left the camp without authorization, reading that he was still a first offender, and was confined for three days. Let Dou Tong leave the camp and return to the camp of the four soldiers, each with twenty military sticks! Li Yanzhao didn't think about it, so he said proudly. Obviously, he himself has long been aware of this kind of treatment.
"Hahahaha." When Pang Sima heard what Li Yanzhao said, he actually laughed. "What a three-day confinement! Since the formation of our Guangwu Army, it has never heard of such a punishment for lawbreakers. Li Baichang's wonderful method can really punish the past and the future, cure the disease and save people? Can this really be eradicated from the rest of the sergeants in the battalion? ”
When Li Yanzhao heard Pang Sima's repeated questions, he also smiled indifferently and said, "Sima may not know that this method is powerful. Li dared to guarantee that after three days, when Dou Tong came out, he would feel more uncomfortable than being cut. ”
However, Pang Sima sneered disapprehantly: "It's nothing more than staying in a small tent for three days, as magical as you said?" ”
Li Yanzhao saw that Pang Sima didn't believe it, so he bowed slightly, but said without respect: "Sima doesn't believe it, you can try it yourself." ”
"yes, yes." Pang Sima sneered again, and then turned to Li Yanzhao and said, "Ben Sima is also in charge of military affairs, and he is very busy, so he has no time to experience it in person, so it is better than this." Since you said that this method is powerful, you insist on not allowing this Sima to deal with Dou Tong. Why don't you try this method too? Confined you for six days, the matter between Dou Tong and you will be written off by this Sima, and he will never mention it again after that! ”
Li Yanzhao hesitated for a moment. In his previous life, he really experienced the taste of confinement. That time, he once hated the small, damp and dark confinement cell, and once swore that even if he died, he would never want to experience confinement again.
However, at this moment, I heard that Pang Sima Chrysostom promised that as long as he was confined for six days, the trouble caused by Dou Tong and himself would be written off. Li Yanzhao weighed it repeatedly, and then gritted his teeth fiercely. He bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Since Pang Sima spoke, the last general dared to disobey his fate!" ”
Seeing Li Yanzhao's expression for a while, Pang Sima secretly felt proud, and was deeply proud of his opposition to Li Yanzhao's army. Unexpectedly, Li Yanzhao only hesitated for a while, and then opened his mouth to agree. Seeing that Li Yanzhao agreed so rashly, Pang Sima couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
Li Yanzhao walked straight to Cao Jian, who was still holding down the sharp soldier and was holding the knife to his neck. The shout ordered the sharp-drawn soldier to retract his sword. Seeing that Li Yanzhao was furious, the sharp pawn knocked down the three companions over there in a blink of an eye, and he also felt a sense of weakness in his heart, and hurriedly put the knife into the sheath. Li Yanzhao ordered Cao Jian to let go of the sharp pawn underground. Cao Jian really let go and stood up. And the sharp soldier was still lying on the ground and wailing.
Li Yanzhao squatted down to check the injury of the sharp soldier, and saw that he was fine, but he was also relieved. He turned to Cao Jian and said, "I will go and receive six days of confinement according to what Pang Sima said. Among the ten people you and others, Liu Jiwu should be the leader. All officials must obey his commands. Go back and pass the word to Team Chen and Team Lin rate. In my absence, the two of them take turns to take charge of the drills and affairs of our non-commissioned officers, and I hope that they will act seriously and not fail to bear my trust. ”
When Cao Jian heard this, he clenched his fists and bowed down and said: "Rest assured, the subordinates will convey this to them." ”
When Li Yanzhao heard this, he nodded: "Dou Tong is here, you continue to take turns on duty." Cui Yang's side sent someone to take care of it. Be cautious and don't start another incident. After I come out, I will do the rest of the work. ”
Cao Jian also bowed: "Subordinates remember." ”
"Okay, you will send the injured Pang Sima's subordinates back to their camp, and I'll go myself." Li Yanzhao said lightly to Cao Jian. Then, he calmly walked towards Pang Sima.
Cao Jian got up according to his words, summoned a few people who were still present, each carried a few Pang Sima's subordinates lying on the ground on their backs or on their backs, and followed the sharp soldier who had just drawn his sword towards their camp.
Pang Sima saw Li Yanzhao walking alone, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and the complicated emotions in his heart made him unable to lift his breath.
"Tie it up and take it away!" After all, Pang Sima still ordered his subordinates to tie up Li Yanzhao Wuhuanda in order to save some of the face of a big fight between himself and his subordinates, but he ended up in a miserable defeat.
Pang Sima and several subordinates escorted Li Yanzhao and went straight to his big tent. The question of where to lock Li Yanzhao also gave Pang Sima a headache. In fact, in Pang Sima's mind, it was a good choice to lock Li Yanzhao in the stable. The stables, however, rested on the camp of the horsemen. If Li Yanzhao is locked up here, it is inevitable that many of his subordinates will definitely take care of him. I can't keep an eye on him all the time. Even if you send your own subordinates to watch over them strictly, it is not reliable. He himself knew that even his own subordinates would not offend an officer who was a hundred men to death.
Pang Sima was in a dilemma, and finally ordered Li Yanzhao to be taken to the only brick house in the camp. Li Yanzhao looked up and saw that above the gate of the brick house was a plaque with two big characters on it: "Arsenal". It turned out that he had come before, and he and his ten men had received the arsenal of weapons and armor.
Pang Sima ordered his subordinates to find the scribe in charge of the key to the arsenal in the camp, opened the door of the arsenal, untied Li Yanzhao and threw him in.
With a "bang", the door to the arsenal slammed shut, followed by a clattering sound of locking on the ground. Li Yanzhao entered the arsenal, looked around, and saw that there was no window except for a small window sealed with iron bars at the back of the arsenal.
Li Yanzhao heard the footsteps of everyone outside gradually moving away, but he remembered something, and hurriedly knocked on the door and said loudly: "Please ask Pang Sima to send someone to send two night pots, the arsenal is heavy, and the last general will not dare to defile it." ”
However, except for the footsteps of the crowd outside, there was no sound to respond to the hundred-man chief's appeal. Li Yanzhao snorted depressedly, and then walked around the arsenal by himself.
