At this time, Wang Zhou was also annoyed: "You and I are brothers, you make mistakes, I deserve to be punished, come here, this punishment, I will suffer with General Ma." ”

His purpose was to beat, not to really punish Ma Xuan before he was willing. As for whether the other two generals were punished or not, he didn't care at all.

Wang Zhou said this, Ma Xuan's arrogance was suppressed at once, people said that they are brothers with you, and they are willing to mention that you bear half of the punishment, if you still chatter, it is yours.

"Military law is ruthless, and if anyone dares to violate military law in the future, it will not be merciful." After Wang Zhou's eyes patrolled around the surrounding soldiers, he shouted loudly.

The audience was silent, and no one would touch the general's brow at this time.

After a stick came down, Wang Zhou and Ma Xuan all covered their buttocks and lay on the improvised stretcher, along with Sun Kan and Xiahou Tongguan, two unlucky ghosts.

All the middle-level and above officers on the Datong side were present to observe, and Wang Zhou seemed to be not afraid of no prestige at all.

After a pair of brothers and sisters returned to the General Soldier's Mansion, they were supposed to be sent into the room separately, but Wang Zhou stopped the Soaring Cloud Rider who was carrying him, and got into Ma Xuan's room with a dead face.

Although those Soaring Cloud Riders didn't dare to exert too much strength, the fifteenth army stick came down, and it was still uncomfortable. At this time, Ma Xuan was lying on the bed humming, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up, but found that Wang Zhou had also come.

He really loves and hates the person who is qualified to start the work, and he hates him for being unreasonable and at the same time touched.

"What are you doing here?" Ma Xuan snorted coldly with resentment.

Wang Zhou said with a hippie smile: "Can you have a little belly, this little thing, you need to be angry!" Besides, they don't take it seriously, and you're afraid that nothing will happen in three days at most. ”

Ma Xuan said angrily: "You don't tell me these cool words, I was beaten in front of so many people, where do you let me put my face?" ”

Wang Zhou said solemnly: "Old Ma, do you say that with our current strength, are we the opponent of the imperial army?" Is it the opponent of the Tatar 300,000 iron horsemen? ”

Although he was not very willing to answer this question, Ma Xuan still replied after thinking about it: "To deal with the imperial army, with the current strength of more than 100,000 troops in Datong, it is simply not enough. However, against the Tartars, although there is no certainty of victory, there is also a fight. ”

Wang Zhoudao: "You also know this truth, now we are not the strongest side in the three forces at all, on the contrary, we are the weakest side. If the military discipline is not strict, the soldiers will be disheartened, and the people's hearts will be scattered, and it will be difficult to lead this team. After all, we don't know if the imperial court will really attack us, and the Tatar Tuhu side may not be completely trustworthy with us.

The boss is gone, the people who bind the three parties are gone, and it is a joke for us to rely on anyone except ourselves.

Once a war starts, do you think a well-disciplined team can make the enemy fearful, or a disheartened team can make the enemy fearful? ”

Ma Xuan was silent.

What Wang Zhou said seems to make a lot of sense.

In the past, he had always put all his hopes on Zhang Ru, but after Wang Zhou said this, he suddenly discovered that the boss was now in a coma and could not speak for them in the court.

"That's what happened today, it's my fault." After a long time, Ma Xuan bowed his head with some difficulty.

He has never been a person who can bow his head easily, and most of the people under Zhang Ru's command have one thing in common, that is, it is not easy to give in. This kind of pride is the pride in the bones, and ordinary people can't learn it.

Wang Zhou sighed and said: "I'm not punishing you just to punish you, my purpose is to let all the soldiers understand that the Datong soldiers must be united."

We are trying to survive in the cracks, whether we live or die, there is no certainty.

The stronger this rope is, the greater our hope of survival, and the weaker this body, the less hope we have of living.

On the surface, there are many people who help us, but in fact, there are many more people who want our lives.

Today, a Chen Liang will come with 3,000 Xuanfu cavalry, and tomorrow there will be a Li Liang and Zhang Liang with 6,000 or 9,000 cavalry.

Based on this consideration, I agree with you to knock and knock those Xuanfu soldiers. But this doesn't mean that you, a master, need to risk your life, and it doesn't mean that you can be complacent if you lead 3,000 people to take Chen Liang's head.

Look at the injuries on your body for yourself, this is a small injury for you, but once you have something, it will affect the entire battle situation of the soldiers. ”

He chattered like a teacher, but what he said was so reasonable that it was impossible to refute.

Ma Xuan seems to have returned to his childhood, and was held down by his father to listen to an old gentleman with a goatee muttering something that he didn't understand at all.

Finally waited for Wang Zhou to finish speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Lao Wang, I understand what you said, don't worry, I won't do it in the future." ”

Wang Zhou sighed: "Maybe what I say will make you feel uncomfortable, but you have to remember one thing, no matter what time it is, you will always be my brother Wang Zhou." ”

Ma Xuan closed his eyes and did not respond.

In his eyes, there are many things that do not need to be said.

Wang Zhou was so cautious, which just proved that he had developed fear in his heart.

Ma Xuan looked down on the kind of person who was afraid of everything, but he would not look down on Wang Zhou. The current Wang Zhou is just like Zhang Ru back then, with courage on his shoulders that ordinary people can't bear at all, and he is under a lot of pressure.

What is worse than when Zhang Ru was there is that now the people below have lost that kind of cohesion.

The news that the two guards of Datong were punished one after another quickly spread throughout the city, after all, there were so many people watching when they were beaten.

The common people did not talk about it, which can be said to be a miracle in the market of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that the people in Datong City are basically the families of the soldiers, and those soldiers themselves dare not talk about it, so naturally they will not allow their families to talk about it.

3,000 people were thrown outside Datong City, Chen Liang's head was taken, and those who died in battle were not counted, and all the 1,700,800 people who were alive became prisoners of Datong soldiers.

This news spread faster than the news that Wang Zhou and Ma Xuan were beaten, after all, this was a spread deliberately arranged by Wang Zhou.

The Xuanfu General Military Mansion, the new general soldier, who was relatively young among the general soldiers of the Nine Sides, sat on a chair, and he felt very troubled by the news that had just come back.

Logically speaking, Chen Liang transferred troops privately, and even if he was cut by a thousand knives, he couldn't say anything.

However, now Datong and the imperial court seem to be in a state of opposition, and Chen Liang seems to be in a state of opposition again, and there seems to be nothing wrong with Chen Liang leading troops to fight.

"General, can we just watch the traitors ride on our heads and!" The lieutenant general brought back from Yulin was dissatisfied.
