CHAPTER XXIV
When Chen Lun cried, Han Xu also knelt down, and his heart was also tense when he heard Chen Lun's words.
The military discipline of the Ming army is very strict, and even in the hands of incompetent generals, they often behead people, of course, the boss of the officer who violates the law will not easily use the beheading, but in the hands of the civilian official, the life of the military attache is also very common, especially at this time, the face of the strategy is Xiong Tingbi, this person has a strict and resolute personality, and is not easy to get along.
"Guerrilla Chen, this official only asks you one sentence," Xiong Tingbi frowned, his official words have a southern accent, but he has been an official for many years, and the official words are understandable as soon as they hear them, looking at the crying Chen Lun, Xiong Tingbi asked sternly: "Is it true that you are talking about extorting silver and silver?" ”
As soon as Chen Lun took the march, his crying stopped, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "This is slander, the conduct of the subordinate officials has always been very good, how can you blackmail the soldiers." ”
"Hmph, damn it!"
It's just a slight change in his expression just now, how can he deceive Xiong Tingbi?
"It's okay for you to be corrupt in the treasury, his silver is rewarded for beheading, and you dare to extort it, acting like this, it's a crime that deserves death!"
Xiong Tingbi scolded suddenly, hundreds of people around him looked nervous, Chen Lun had a few good friends with officers who originally wanted to say something to save him, but after Xiong Tingbi's words were finished, everyone's hearts sank, knowing that Chen Lun's life would definitely not be saved.
"Take it down, lock it up!"
Xiong Tingbi was quite decisive, never hesitated to do things, and immediately flicked the sleeves of his robe and ordered Chen Lun to be arrested.
Things took a sharp turn for the worse, and it was so developed that Chen Lun was stunned for a moment, and then he cried out like crazy.
"Forget it, Master Chen," one of Xiong Tingbi's staff members persuaded him: "I just checked the account books, you have a deficit of thousands of taels of silver here, and you have withdrawn it after asking, and you will not be able to save your life for this article alone, even if this matter is wronged now, you are also unyielding, accept your fate." ”
Chen Lun's face was as dead as he spoke, and several personal soldiers dragged this person down like a dog.
Xiong Tingbi recently arrested a number of generals in the city, all of them were imprisoned together, and built an altar in the city, everyone knew that he was going to set up an altar to worship the fallen soldiers in front, and then he would definitely open a knife and behead those offending generals together, which was used to motivate the soldiers and warn the rest of the officers at the same time. At this time, the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the time when the warlords stand on their own, like the last years of Chongzhen, the emperor's order is only carried out in the governor, the order of the governor is not in the general army, and the order of the general army is not in the ministry.
Yang Guoyong, He Qingyun, Gao Xiaosan and others all gathered, and they knelt on the side, looking very nervous.
"You are Han Xu?"
Xiong Tingbi dropped Chen Lun's hair, he didn't mind in his heart, it seemed that he just brushed off some dust on his robe, he turned to look at Han Xu, looked up and down for a while, and then said loudly: "A few days ago, the Japanese official also sent a message to General Li Bing, saying that he will bring you to Liaoyang, and the official will see with his own eyes what kind of person it is, and it is really an accident to meet today." ”
Han Xu was worried about Xiong Tingbi's personality and temper, and immediately kowtowed, then raised his head, and said proudly: "If the lower official comes with the general soldier, he will only stand in class and salute and snort, I am afraid that Lord Jingluo will not know what kind of person the lower official is and why he can make the decapitation work." ”
"Yes, you're bold!"
Xiong Tingbi was slightly surprised, since he took office, under his coercion and power, even the general of the general army was trembling when he met, for fear of being reprimanded for the wrong words, but this little man in front of him always had such courage, which really surprised him.
"Indeed," Xiong Tingbi said with a calm face: "You are very courageous, and you seem to be very good, but then, you beat the official in front of your own official, are you really not afraid of military law?" Even though you are brave and brave, under the command of this officer, you must not be arrogant people who disobey military orders! ”
Han Xu touched his head again and replied in a deep voice: "The subordinate will never fail to abide by the military law, but what Chen Guerrilla extorted was the reward for killing the enemy and beheading us, and these rewards were all obtained by the subordinates, how could the subordinate dare to give it to the Shangguan at will?" Besides, the subordinate officials and the enmity are as deep as the sea, and after being promoted to the general general, all he wants is to go into battle again to kill the enemy, and after selecting his subordinates, he wants to have heavy armor and prepare good soldiers, so as to lead his brothers to make military merits again, if nothing else, this matter is really unbearable. ”
With Han Xu's words, Xiong Tingbi's relatives around him all showed surprise and approval, this little boss in front of him was indeed a bold person, and he was not afraid at all.
A staff member stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Han Jiang is always a brave person, and he intends to strengthen his troops and heavy armor, but also to kill the captives, and his loyalty can be learned." ”
Xiong Tingbi praised in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Han Xu, you are a little forceful, the Liao people have a deep hatred for the captives, isn't it true that everyone can fight with heavy armor?" ”
"Lord Huijinglu, if the subordinate is a small soldier, he will fight with the captives empty-handed, if it is a general, he needs to try to make his subordinates have a good stomach, Tang Taizong has a saying, the strength of the soldiers is the key to victory, and the subordinate is deeply praised."
"Good guy, you actually know Tang Taizong's words!" Xiong Tingbi's eyes widened, the smiling staff beside him just shook his hand, and pulled off the beard on his chin, these generals in the army, there are many people who don't know a single big word, this one in front of him is not only bold, but also can know allusions and history, which is really commendable.
"Xiaguan was originally a military household, and the elders in the clan were Xiucai, and I read some books when I was young, thinking that I couldn't take the Xiucai exam, so I still read some historical notes and knew the stories of the past and the present...... With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed, with the ancient as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, a foolishness, good to teach the scriptures and adults to know. ”
"It's really a rare talent." Xiong Tingbi's heart flashed with a thought, the original image of Han Xu as a brave general in his heart has undergone a subversive change, and the little boss in front of him has shown enough things in such a little time.
Seeing Xiong Tingbi's expression, Han Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his spirit really relaxed.
Although he is eloquent, he seems to be bold, but in fact, his heart is extremely nervous, his life can be said to be only in Xiong Tingbi's heart, so that he will be born, and if he dies, he will die, this feeling of life and death by people is something Han Xu has never experienced, even when fighting with the cavalry of Houjin, although life and death are instantaneous, but after all, he is still in his own hands, and now he is completely in the hands of others, this feeling of hanging by a thread will never be understood by people who have never experienced it, in a short time, Han Xu has been sweating.
I really don't want to do it again!
