Section 37: Reprimand

The Qarluqs caravan was running out of numbers, and they had no time to think about anything other than to save their lives, and when the leader of the caravan said the word submission, all the living Qarluqs had no courage to resist, and the corpses and blood stains on the ground warned everyone.

The people who were warned were not only the Qarluqs, but also forty warriors who had followed Lao Luo to fight. People who usually boast of good combat power always feel that chores are not their tasks, and at this time they have all given up their original ideas, and Lao Luo's orders are executed much faster than before. The guards and prisoners dug pits to clean up the dead bodies, sorted out all the spoils, and did it quickly and methodically, which made Lao Luo a little stunned.

There were a lot of seizures in this battle, and there were about 700 camels and more than 100 horses in the caravan of the Qarluqs, and there were a lot of goods carried by these livestock, mainly pig iron and wheat flour, and there were also about a dozen tons, plus other miscellaneous items, tents, costumes, jewelry, and other miscellaneous things that needed to be sorted out, and a lot of trivial things. Regular bulk items such as pig iron and wheat flour were taken out by Lao Luo to put them into the space, and the rest of the trivial things were easy to sort out, as for the opinions of the captives, no one cared.

Lao Luo's rule for Corn Philo was that all the Gelluq prisoners were under the management of Corn Philo, and all of them were killed, except for the necessary rule points, if there was an escape or misdeeds. This is a hard and fast rule, not to mention that Lao Luo is not close to people, because this kind of management is the characteristic of this era, not to mention the newly acquired slaves or the vanquished with blood, the psychology of resistance is inevitable, so the mutual supervision brought by the joint sitting system is the most trouble-free management method.

Although Lao Luo has never done professional logistics affairs, but these simple loot collection is not a laborious thing, sorting out all the items, and then burying all the dead bodies, and even some large blood stains left on the ground have been eradicated, all these trivial things are handled neatly, it is already in the afternoon when the sun begins to turn west, that is, around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Arrange for everyone to get something to eat to cushion their stomachs, Lao Luo ordered everyone to put away their mounts and return to the camp, although he was not worried that this kind of place would threaten the safety of his camp, but he was still not at ease if he didn't see it, it was really that these people under his command did not have the opportunity to be verified.

The original Qarluq camp was left with only a wasteland, the occasional trail of blood on the surface, and of course the ground buried in the ground that no one could see, and perhaps in the summer the land would become fertile and the vegetation flourished.

Although they experienced a killing, the warriors who participated in the battle did not have much fatigue, but because the battle seemed very excited, all the captives were also riding on the camels' backs, except for the necessary sections of the road to drive the camel caravan, the return journey was actually very fast, anyway, the distance was not very far.

The most worried about this team should be Li Ji, who is worried about chaos, but the most expected for the team's return is Stan, the big guy who stays behind, because he can collect a lot of property.

Lao Luo saw the people watching the camp from a distance, and saw that the camp was safe and sound, Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief - anything can happen in this wasteland, if there is chaos in his camp when Lao Luo goes to war, it will be more than worth the loss.

After going out of the canyon and setting up the camp the day before, Lao Luo told everyone to hunt the Qarluqs, Li Ji was worried that she didn't rest well, and she looked at the camp from waking up in the morning, and saw a large number of camel teams and dozens of bloodstained warriors returning, not to mention how anxious she was, until she saw the figure of Lao Luo who was pressing the formation behind, she breathed a sigh of relief and ran out of the camp directly, "Third brother, you are back, what is going on with this bloodstain, are you injured?" ”

Lao Luo looked at his body, only to find that the position of the left button was stained with some blood at some point, shook his head and smiled, and jumped off the horse, "No, Siniang, this is the blood on the enemy's body, don't you know my ability?" ”

"Don't move, I'll see." Li Ji turned around Lao Luo uneasily, grabbed Lao Luo's arm and carefully checked to see if there were any loopholes in the armor.

Lao Luo looked at the little woman around him with some helplessness, and turned his head to look at the few people who came up: "Stan receives the spoils, Siddeck Nord disciplines the captives, teaches them the rules in the camp, pay attention to divide them individually, Gonzhas pays attention to arranging the people who guard them, Alke...... Why isn't Alker there? ”

"Master, Alker ......" Siedek Nord stepped forward, but there was some hesitation.

"Straightforwardly, what's going on?" Lao Luo didn't get angry at this strict Norman, but he was covered in blood and domineering after just experiencing the killing, which still surprised everyone.

Li Ji was even more unbearable, and grabbed Lao Luo's arm softly, "San Lang, don't get angry, talk well." ”

Old Luo Ben didn't have much anger, but this battle stimulated his past military habits, and he restrained his tone for a while, and then asked: "Sidrknord, you are a person in charge of discipline, if you have something to say, don't lose your nature." ”

"Yes, master." Sideknord's face straightened for a moment, and he said solemnly: "This morning, the master has not returned, Naga, Mnaqi, Cui Eighteen, and Nuralman went out of the camp without permission to find the master, and Alke was worried that something would happen to them, so he had to chase them." ”

Lao Luo's face was a little dark, the day before yesterday his order was that everyone was not allowed to leave the camp and strictly guard the camp, but he didn't expect that the few boys he originally brought did not abide by discipline and directly violated the order, "Well, I understand, Siddec Nord, this matter is none of your business, go do your business first, and when those few things come back, call them to see me." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after agreeing to the promise, they began to get busy.

Li Ji looked at Lao Luo with some curiosity, "Third brother, how do you feel that you are much more fierce than in the past, they seem to be a little afraid of you." ”

"Siniang, then why aren't you afraid of me?" Lao Luo was in a very relaxed mood at this time, smiled and asked Li Ji directly, maybe he was a little worried, at least he didn't have to be so cautious in this plateau now.

"Afraid of you?" Li Jicai is not afraid of Lao Luo, anyway, this man will never deliberately hurt himself, but, "You still say, when we met for the first time in Constantinople, you slapped me!" ”

"That's no way, who told you to be sneaky in the academy at the time." Lao Luo shook his hand and didn't care about the chores behind him, and walked directly to the camp.

"Hmph, sooner or later I'm going to get revenge back, and now that I think about it, my neck still hurts." Li Ji looked unwilling.

"Then you can take revenge now, I will bear it." Lao Luo listened to Li Ji's complaints, and felt more and more relaxed.

"The ghost is beating you now, and the armor on your body hurts my hand." Li Ji is not a stupid girl, how could she not hear that Lao Luo was teasing him.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, turn around and let you get revenge, okay?" Lao Luo touched his stomach, although he ate something before he set off to come back, he was already hungry at this time, "I'm going to starve to death, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"It's been done a long time ago, and I got a lot of roast sheep, and it's still leaning on the fire, and there is boiled meat porridge with vegetables." Li Ji naturally knew the habits of these soldiers, although the people in the artisan battalion did not have any combat missions, but the soldiers of this era could only eat jerky or fried noodles when they were fighting outside, and it was a luxury to be able to drink a little broth while resting.

"Do all of them have it?" Even though he knew that Stan's logistics were doing well, Lao Luo couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, go to your barbecue." Li Ji was a little impatient with Lao Luo's "meddling", and pushed directly behind Lao Luo.

The finished roast sheep was on the shelf of the bonfire, and there were a lot of scattered things in the camp, and all the soldiers who had just come back didn't care about the blood stains on their bodies, they just washed their hands, and grabbed the mutton and gnawed it, if it weren't for Lao Luo's strict order not to drink raw water and not to eat without washing his hands, I'm afraid these guys wouldn't even be able to wash their hands.

When Lao Luo was full of wine and food, and was about to take off his armor to wash, several bastards who had gone out of the camp without permission against orders were brought back by Alke, along with Siedek Nord, who was in charge of discipline.

Lao Luo looked at the four people in front of him with a cold face, these impulsive guys also knew that they had made mistakes, and knelt down on one knee in front of Lao Luo with their heads bowed and did not say a word, even Cui Shiba, who usually talked the most, had the same expression.

Fortunately, Alke is good at observing words and understanding this master, trying to suppress the fear in his heart, and said: "Master, several of them also violated discipline because they were worried about the safety of their master, so they ......"

Someone opened his mouth to break the siege, and the assistant Olki, who often followed Lao Luo, understood Lao Luo's mind better, "Master, they were the first to follow the master, of course, they are more concerned about the safety of the master, see that they don't deliberately violate discipline, let's forgive them." ”

The people around him also began to make it clear that they were not fools, and they knew that Lao Luo, the master, was very protective of his own people.

Lao Luo actually knows what these people think, these guys who make mistakes, Naga is belligerent, Eighteen Lang likes to be lively, Mu Naqi is because of the relationship between the same race, always follows Naga's actions, and Nuralman is Eighteen Lang's followers, all of them are unconscious guys.

They don't need to say these thoughts, Lao Luo has long seen them, but this is not a forgivable reason, he was silent for a while before saying: "Naga, Mnaqi, Cui Eighteen, Nuralman, you have all followed me for a long time, since you started to be by my side, I have been cultivating you to stand alone, with Olki, Alke and others, I will arrange you with them, I just hope you understand the consciousness of a team......"

Knowing that Lao Luo hadn't finished speaking, everyone around him was silent.

Lao Luo looked at the surrounding Alker, Alki, Siedek Nord, and Gonzas, who came later, "There are not many people in our small team, but they are all good at fighting, and it is not peaceful on the eastward journey, and it is more necessary for everyone to unite and divide labor, discipline is the most important thing, I understand what I said, right?" ”

The standing warriors all said in unison, "Understood! ”

"Although our team is not an army, but everyone's combat power is good, more fierce than lions and tigers, I expect everyone to use the discipline of the army to demand themselves, that is, I hope that everyone will be condensed into a lion or tiger group on the road, and all enemies will be crushed!" Lao Luo's voice began to amplify from low to high-pitched, and the soldiers on duty in the distance could hear it.

"When we get to the east, there will be a lot of people around us, maybe all of you will become the leader or general of the team, what will you use to control your subordinates at that time?" Lao Luo's words were not false, he did cultivate these people as seeds, even the former gladiators who were slaves felt these thoughts, and everyone's eyes became a little hot for a while.

"Boss, we were wrong, and we are willing to accept punishment." It was Mnachi who spoke, and although he was not the one who took the lead in violating discipline, he knew that admitting his mistake was the best way to do it.

"Boss (third uncle), we were wrong, we are willing to accept punishment......" It was Naga who spoke one after another, as well as Cui 18 and Nuralman.

"Sidd Knord, according to the discipline of the army, how should they be punished for such a crime?" Lao Luo knows the military laws of various countries in all periods, and the purpose of asking this is just to use other people's mouths to tell about the strictness and importance of military laws, and also to let these people around him understand their attitudes.

Although SiddΓΌrk Nord is a stereotyped guy, it doesn't mean that this guy is a piece of wood, at least what he says proves it. "According to the military law of the Romans, the punishment for failure to comply with military discipline ranged from flogging to death according to the degree of the circumstances, and according to the military law of the Normans, the punishment was more severe, as in the land of the Arabs, the same punishment was ......"

"Alright, Siddeck Nord, that's enough for you." Lao Luo saw that this guy seemed to be going on, so he had to interrupt him, "In this way, although our team does not implement formal military regulations, and everyone is not officially soldiers, there is still a punishment that should be given." Each person received twenty lashes, and as punishment, each person was required to submit a review of the observance of military discipline, written in Chinese characters. Do you understand? ”

In addition to corporal punishment, Lao Luo's punishment method also includes writing a review, which is a common method in the army in later generations, which is quite a bad taste, which is the most distressing thing when he joined the army at the beginning of that year.

"Boss, I admit my mistake, fifty lashes are all done, you can just write a review if you don't ask me to write a review." It was Naga who spoke, this guy already spoke Chinese, but when it came to writing, his head was as big as a bucket.

"Third uncle, can't I write one more copy? The whip is gone, right? "This is Cui Shibalang, who is cheating and cheating, although he is also unwilling to write, but it is better than being whipped.

"......" also followed the trend and complained about Mnaqi and Nuralman, and the soldiers next to them looked at them with a little schadenfreude.

"No, it's decided, everyone has to write by hand, and it must be neatly written, and if there are mistakes, double!" Lao Luo didn't believe their complaints, this matter didn't have to be changed, "The number of words is at least two thousand, and Cui Shibalang is responsible for teaching the words that can't be written." ”

"Yes...... Boss (third uncle) "Lao Luo's words can't be changed, and the four guys who made mistakes can naturally only obey orders, leaving the soldiers watching next to him snickering."

Lao Luo frowned, and said casually, "Don't laugh, go back and learn to write quickly, or if you don't turn around and make a mistake, you will be punished and write a review." ”

Then, I saw that a large open space was quickly set aside around Lao Luo, and the corners of Lao Luo's face were slightly upturned when he turned around.
