Liu Cong secretly scolded in his heart when he heard this: "You Nana's Wu Tai, you are really going on the road!" I'm leading you on the slope, and you're on the right path! All right, go to the right path! ”

scolded and said here: "What 'don't close the door at night and don't leave the road behind'? It's all nonsense! Well, yesterday I sent two scouts to the forward mountains to investigate the enemy's situation, but unfortunately, the two scouts did not return this morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I knew there was no peace in that area. Well, it must be that the law and order situation is not good.

So I took someone over early this morning to inspect it, ha! It was a very dangerous trip -- more than 30 bandits came out to grab horses and equipment, and also set us up in an ambush, squeezed more than 20 of us into a ravine, blocked us with cannons and sassholes at both ends, and shot arrows down from the top of the mountain, wounding seven or eight of us on the way.

It's not that I'm strong in martial arts to fight out of a desperate situation, today, I'm afraid I just won't be able to see Wu Taishou! ”

Liu Cong still kept a straight face when he said this, looked up at Wu Tai, and saw Wu Tai kneeling down and shouting: "The subordinates have no way to govern, please punish the lord." The subordinates have no way to govern, please punish the lord. ”

When Liu Cong looked at it coldly, he saw that although Wu Tai was pretending to be panicked, there was no fear on his face. He spoke: "Wu Taishou, do you want to punish the crime?" Put it first. Let's see how you perform. You get up first and sit aside. ”

Wu Tai stood up, but he stood with his hands down, not daring to sit.

Liu Cong was not reluctant, so he said: "I walked into the hinterland of Qianfeng Mountain, and I didn't find the enemy's situation, but I found bandits rampant. Such a law and order situation cannot be maintained.

Wu Taishou, I came to Fuchun to die in a big disaster, count my fate.

As for you, I'm not going to pursue the responsibility.

In this way, bandits are rampant in the Qianfeng Mountain area, and although it is a good place, the mountain people cannot live there. You are a parent official in a place, and it is your responsibility to maintain social order here.

Tomorrow, you will take the original team of Fuchun into the Qianfeng Mountain area to suppress the bandits.

Well, come and report once in two days.

This time, the bandits must not go through the motions, and the bandits in the Qianfeng Mountain area must be wiped out. ”

When Wu Tai heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged his fists and sang a big salute, and asked, "My subordinates take orders." What else does the lord command? ”

"Yes, no. Today, I personally went to reconnoiter and found that there was no trace of Sun Quan's deserters in this Qianfeng Mountain area, only bandits were rampant. So on that side, I won't send people over, and I'll entrust it to Wu Taishou.

The people here have to search in three directions: northeast, east and south. ”

Hearing Wu Tai's promise, Liu Cong instructed Wei Yan and Deng Bao Liang Zhu'er: "The three of you will each bring 3,000 men and horses, and tomorrow morning, you and Wu Taishou will act at the same time to search for Sun Quan's traces in the other three directions." The march was far away, and it was not necessary to rush back overnight, so it was stationed at a distance. If you find Sun Quan's traces, come back and report immediately! ”

The four of them received the order and took their leave of the account at the same time.

Waiting for Wu Tai to go away, Liu Cong summoned back Wei Yan, Deng Bao, Liang Zhu'er and the three of them, and whispered so and so, watching the three of them take the order and leave, Liu Cong sneered and sat down for dinner.

The next day was fine, but Liu Cong knew according to the report that Wu Tai had taken a thousand men and horses into Qianfeng Mountain to suppress the bandits.

So, Liu Cong waited in the camp, waiting for Wu Tai to come back and report the military situation.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Tai came back, took four personal soldiers, and reported to Liu Cong when he entered the account: "Lord, my subordinates are really incompetent, I have been in Qianfeng Mountain for two days, I have checked and searched everywhere, and I have not encountered a bandit." Come and report to the lord, and ask the lord to guide me, how should the next work of suppressing bandits be carried out? ”

Liu Cong's face was not good-looking when he heard this, and he asked in a deep voice: "Thousands of people and horses went into the mountains to search for two days, but they didn't even see a single bandit hair!" This is a bit of a strange thing, right? Could it be that Wu Taishou deliberately entertained and didn't really suppress the bandits, right? ”

Wu Tai's face changed as soon as he heard this, and he hurriedly retorted: "The lord forgives the sin, and his subordinates are sincere in suppressing bandits, how dare they be half-hearted!" ”

Liu Cong was furious when he heard this, and clapped the case with his hand and shouted: "Since you sincerely suppress the bandits, thousands of people and horses have entered the mountains, and you haven't seen a single bandit in two days, what is the reason?"

Could it be that I lied -- I led my troops into the mountains the day before yesterday to fight with the bandits and was almost killed by the bandits. Seven or eight brothers were wounded by arrows, could it be that I lied about the military situation?

Well, although I am not injured, the injured brothers are still being healed there at this time, if Wu Taishou doesn't believe me, go over and check it out for himself! ”

When Wu Tai heard this, he hurriedly excused himself and said, "The injured brother's subordinates have seen it. The lord did encounter bandits when he went. Maybe it's because his subordinates led too many troops, and the bandits were so frightened that they hid when they saw it, so their subordinates didn't see it. ”

Wu Tai's words are not unreasonable, what he means is that the first time Liu Cong led his troops to meet bandits, the second time he entered the mountains by himself, he may not meet bandits, one of the reasons may be that he led too many troops.

However, if you want to add to the crime, Liu Cong is about to find fault, let you Wu Tai say a thousand reasons, Liu Cong will also punish you!

So when he heard Wu Tai speak like this, Liu Cong shouted irritable like thunder, and ordered repeatedly: "Tie up!" Military justice, call me! ”

When the executioner heard this, he sang a loud cry, rushed up, put Wu Tai down, and then the horsewhip was pumped violently.

After whipping twenty horsewhips in a row, Liu Cong drank and asked Wu Tai sharply: "Does Wu Tai still dare to defy this rule?" ”

Wu Tai grinned and replied: "The subordinates don't dare, don't dare to despise the lord!" ”

"Are you guilty?"

"The subordinates are guilty! Suppressing bandits is futile, and they should be punished! ”

Liu Cong said angrily again: "Oh, you still don't know your sins!" I'll tell you.

I led my troops into the mountains and encountered bandits; You led your troops into the mountains and did not encounter bandits.

The reason? You said it - you brought too many men and horses, and scared the bandits into hiding.

Oh, you can scare the bandits away, and I can be intercepted by the bandits!

What do you mean? You're better than me!

In such contempt for the root cause, he still does not know the sin, and is still quibbling! Call me! ”

The executioner broke off again, put Wu Tai on the ground again, and there was another fart breaking sound, Wu Tai's clothes were whipped into strips of cloth, and the blood-red whipping marks bulged up on his spine.

However, Wu Tai was really good, he didn't say a word, he didn't beg for mercy, he just argued a few times, and then he clenched his teeth tightly, let the whipping, and never made a sound again.

Another twenty horsewhips came down, and Liu Cong seemed to be discouraged, so he ordered to stop.

The executioner stopped whipping, and Liu Cong pointed at Wu Tai with a fierce finger and scolded: "I suspect that you will exterminate the bandits in the Qianfeng Mountain area within ten days, and you will not be able to complete the task after the expiration date, and you will not be spared!" Go ahead! ”

Wu Tai was already dizzy from pain after receiving forty horsewhips, where could he still speak, so he had to nod with difficulty and said, "Oh! He was carried out of the tent by his own soldiers to go home. 340
