Chapter 443: Dumbfounded
Su Qin looked around at the generals under his tent and said: "Nearly half of the generals today heard the drums gathering the generals, but they were still slow and delayed, and they should be punished according to the order, and I will write it down for you for the time being." But there are three people I will not spare! ”
He paused, his face grim, and his eyes showed a determined and resolute expression.
When the late generals heard that Su Qin was going to punish the three violators, they couldn't help but feel scared again, and the joy they had just now was gone.
Su Qin pointed at Jing Feng and said bitterly: "The first person who should be punished is Jing Feng. The first time you gathered to make a fool of yourself in public, disrupting the order of the Chinese army, I didn't care about you; Last night, he blatantly violated the prohibition of alcohol and was drunk like mud; Today's gathering will be the last one, and it is too late. You are so rampant that do you think I really dare not punish you? ”
He immediately ordered a team of soldiers in the middle of the military academy to hold cowhide whips, machetes and other instruments of execution: "Where are the knife and axe hands? ”
Five school guards with broad-bladed broadswords stuck in their backs stepped forward and replied, "Yes! ”
Su Qin ordered: "Push Jing Feng out of the middle of the mountain, behead him immediately, and hang the head on the flagpole of the camp gate of the Chinese army camp, so that all the soldiers can take a look and take it as a warning." ”
Jing Feng had been quiet at this time, and he was tied to a corner of the big tent by ropes. He originally thought that even if Su Qin punished him, it would just be a beating with sticks and fists, but he didn't think that Su Qin would behead him to show the public.
Jing Feng was immediately frightened and drunk, he immediately knelt on the ground, walked a few steps forward with his knees, trembling all over, crying bitterly on his face, and sobbed: "Please be gracious to the boss, I have followed you for so long, there is no credit and hard work, remember my hard work, forgive me!" I don't dare anymore, you just don't care about the villain, and forgive the villain. ”
That Jing Feng was already sharp-tongued, and muttered a large number of pleading words. Su Qin turned his face to the side and waved his hand at the knife and axe, signaling for immediate execution.
The knife and axe man obeyed the order and dragged Jing Feng out of the Chinese army's tent. The Jingfeng ghost cried wolf and shouted, "Prime Minister spare my life, I don't want to die." For my sake,...... follow you."
Su Qin originally wanted to wait for someone to intercede for him and then think about it. However, it seems that Jing Feng has no popularity at all, and no general has begged for him from beginning to end.
After a quarter of an hour, only a drum was heard outside the tent, and the execution began, and after a while, the knife and axe hand carried Jing Feng's head into the tent to cover his life.
Su Qin's face was pale, his eyes showed unbearability, he waved his hand, signaling that he already knew about it, and let them deal with it according to the order.
After the knife and axe hand withdrew, Su Qin continued: "The second person I want to punish is Tian Zhang, as the commander of the Qi army, you take the lead in violating the order, you should be mainly responsible, and you must be severely punished!" ”
That Tian Zhang turned out to be arrogant, and after being ordered by Su Qin to take it down, he was much more honest, and he was tied to the southwest corner of the big tent in the middle at the moment. When he saw Jing Feng's head, he was already so frightened that he was urinating, and a puddle of water oozed from under his robe, which was obviously scared to pee. Even the lieutenant military guards who were guarding him disliked him for being cowardly and disdained to look at him.
Tian Zhang heard Su Qin call his name, and fell to the ground with a soft plop in fright, he thought that Su Qin was going to behead himself like punishing Jing Feng, and secretly said in his heart: "It's over, it's over, my life is over!" ”
Tian Zhang shouted: "The boss spares my life, I know that I am wrong, please don't kill me!" Tian Zhang said, with a rope, trying to kneel forward, he not only begged for mercy from Su Qin, but also pleaded with his generals, and said: "You all plead for me, don't let Su Qing kill me, hurry, please, open grace." ”
The generals of the Qi army saw this boy on weekdays, and he was arrogant, as if he was the only one in the army, and he didn't take others in his eyes at all. When he was the main general, the generals remembered his identity and accompanied him to chat and drink.
At this time, the commander of the Qi army had been replaced by Yan Sui, and this Tian Zhang could no longer control himself, so no matter how much Tian Zhang pleaded, no one came out to speak for him.
Besides, all the generals of the Qi army are late, and everyone should have a part in punishment, and now that Su Qin has opened up the net, he finally got out by himself, why bother to provoke the boss for such a soft boy!
Su Qin ordered: "Tian Zhang disobeyed the order, but the crime is not to death, pull him down and beat two hundred military sticks!" As he spoke, he threw down another arrow.
Tian Zhang listened to the first half of the order, knowing that he was saved from death, he was just happy, the joy had not passed, and when he heard the punishment of the two hundred military sticks, he was immediately deflated again, and said in his heart: "If these two hundred military sticks go down, he will be almost crippled if he does not die, and he will participate in the battle of Michi, it would be good to go back to Qi alive!" ”
Thinking of this, Tian Zhang cried and begged Su Qin to be gracious. Su Qin was unmoved, and waved his hand to let the executing school guard immediately carry it out. Tian Zhang was also dragged out of the tent.
Su Qin looked around at the generals at this moment, and saw that these people no longer had that indifferent look, and even the most disapproving generals were trembling, and Su Qin looked at him more, and he was going to tremble.
Su Qin's gaze stopped at Chen Zhi after the most gloomy gaze, and Chen Zhi found that Su Qin's face changed greatly when he looked at him, and his arrogant and untamed energy was gone. Where did he think that Su Qin would actually behead a general, and it was the people who followed him. Su Qin already had such a resolute determination, and he Chen Zhi couldn't help but shudder.
Just now Su Qin said that he would punish three people, and now two people have been punished, Chen Zhi thought: "This third person won't be me, right?" Thinking of this, he almost knelt down for Su Qin and begged Su Qin for forgiveness.
Even if Su Qin killed him at this time, it was also where his power lies, Chen Zhi immediately regretted his behavior of embarrassing Su Qin, and knew that Su Qin dared to kill him, why did he come out and cause trouble?
Although Chen Zhi did not kneel down to plead at this time, he was sweating profusely, his body was trembling vigorously, and two lines of tears appeared in his eyes.
Su Qin looked at Chen Zhen, hated this person's insidiousness in his heart, and really wanted to order him to be killed immediately to get rid of this scourge. But after a few turns of thought, I felt that it was not appropriate to do this.
There are two reasons, the first is that he can't kill two generals of Chu in one day, he already has Jing Feng in front, and now he has killed Chen Zhen, this matter has passed back to the ears of Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, so what does the king of Chu think about himself, how does he think about the alliance? Although there was a reason for killing them, but there was no escape from the suspicion of deliberately targeting the Chu State, once the King of Chu had this suspicion, did he not immediately order the Chu army to retreat and break away from the alliance?
Moreover, Chen Zhi is the cousin of his good friend Chen Xu, and he killed Chen Zhi himself, how will he face Chen Zhi in the future? How to give him an explanation?
Su Qin thought about it and felt that he couldn't kill Chen Zhi, but Chen Zhi instigated Jing Feng to clearly resist the military order, and he himself also violated the order, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so why should he suffer some hardships!
Thinking of this, Su Qin made up his mind, and he said to the generals: "The third person I want to punish is Chen Zhen, the deputy general of the Chu army, and you are the second to last person for being late, which is the first crime; Last night, he and Jing Feng disobeyed the prohibition of alcohol, which is the second crime. The punishment for the two crimes is combined, and the sentence is to beat the military stick 200 times, and the execution will be carried out immediately! ”
When Chen Zhi heard this, his face turned pale with fright, these two hundred military sticks were not easy to hold, he immediately defended himself: "Boss Rongyu, I am all burdened by that shameless Jingfeng, it is he who has repeatedly forced me, which caused me to be derelict in my duties and disobey the order, I have something unspeakable, please ask the boss to be clear." ”
Su Qin stared at Chen Zhi and replied, "Is it true?" Is it really Jingfeng that affects you? You don't want to see that Jing Feng is dead, and put the blame on the dead people. How you move your own heart, others can see clearly. Besides, the final result is that you have violated two military orders, and the result is like this, what are you arguing about! ”
He turned his head and said to the Chinese army execution officer: "Come on, give me an immediate execution, there must be no mistake." The Chinese military cadet then pulled Chen Zhi out of the gang and obeyed the order.
At this moment, the generals under the tent saw that Su Qin punished the three generals in one breath, and everyone did not dare to come out. Some generals thought to themselves: "Among the three people punished, two are Chu generals, won't Qu Xin, the chief general of the Chu army, stand up and say something?" ”
They secretly took a look at Qu Xin, only to see that Qu Xin was not angry but laughed, these two teamed up to bully him young, Jing Feng almost provoked himself to duel with him, Chen Zhi had a gloomy face all day long, thinking about how to harm people. Qu Xin felt: "Su Lingyin is kind to me, he probably sees that it is difficult for me to control the Chu army, so he intends to eliminate the harm on my behalf!" ”
Su Qin saw that in the process of punishing the three of them, from the beginning to the end, no general stood up to intercede or oppose, and he was also a lot more sure-footed, it seemed that his punishment was still reasonable, and these three people really deserved it.
He glanced at the generals again, and the tent was already silent, without any sound. His clear handling of this move frightened and trained the generals and cleaned them up properly. Even if there are those who are not convinced, it is estimated that they will not dare to openly stand up against them, and no one will dare not take military discipline seriously.
Su Qin suddenly let out a long sigh at this time, the generals thought that he should be happy, why did he sigh again? Everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Su Qin.
Su Qin said: "Killing Jing Feng today, I, Su Qin, am also in a very sad mood, that Jing Feng has been with me for many days, he has today's fate, how can I bear it!" He has repeatedly taught and refused, does not listen to the good words and persuasions of others, only cares about playing tricks, acting recklessly, has no discipline, and repeatedly disputes and troubles. ”
"If you don't kill him, I'm afraid that the joint coalition army will be sloppy, lawless, and chaotic from now on. All the generals are the ones who lead the troops, think about it, can such sloppy discipline be comparable to the wolf-like Qin army on the battlefield? ”
