Chapter 73: Three Chapters of Military Law

Without saying a word all the way, the army soon returned to the Phoenix Valley. Zhang Fei was bored and sulking in the valley, and suddenly heard that the team had returned, so he hurriedly greeted him. But seeing the neighing of people and horses outside the mountain, and when more than 1,000 people came back from the expedition, Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and Liu Ze also introduced Zhao Yun, Zhoucang and others to Zhang Fei.

More than 2,000 people were added to the Phoenix Valley at once, and the valley, which was originally quite spacious, was already overcrowded, but fortunately, the crouching tiger had obtained a lot of money and food this time, and it was not too difficult to cope with the food of so many people.

Jia Xu reminded Liu Ze that he had to find a place to relocate these surrendered soldiers and sweat and blood. Liu Ze was in his chest, and he had already thought of the location.

Liu Ze placed Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng and the other three in a col in the back mountain, where the environment is elegant, secluded and peaceful, very suitable for recuperation, three meals a day are delivered by a special person, and the food standard is equivalent to that of the team of heaven. Liu Ze also specially transferred two female soldiers to serve Zhao Feng, and a military doctor also became Zhao Feng's full-time Langzhong. As for ginseng, deer antler velvet and cordyceps sinensis and other supplements, there is not much inventory in Quyang, the small county town, Liu Ze has already sent someone to Jizhou to purchase, as for how much gold it will cost, Liu Ze really doesn't care.

Yes, although these high-end supplements are valuable, they are as small as dust compared to Zhao Yun, a heavyweight of the Three Kingdoms era. Liu Ze stayed up all night on the apple book, and finally called up a few prescriptions for the treatment of tuberculosis, including Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, and Fu Shan in the Qing Dynasty.

That night, there was a big feast in the Phoenix Valley, one was to catch the wind for Zhao Yun Zhoucang and others, and the other was to reward the whole army, and the generals drank a mess, but fortunately, the Phoenix Valley was heavily guarded inside and outside, even if there was a strong enemy attack, he was not afraid, it was Liu Ze who did not stop everyone's good interest, so that everyone had a good drink.

At the banquet, Zhang Fei didn't know why he and Zhou Cang were on the bar, and they fought together, and the two of them worked for more than a dozen altars, and finally they all climbed under the table and didn't wake up.

The next day, Liu Ze and Jia Xu went to Quyang County to meet with Cheng County Commander, and Cheng County Commander heard that Liu Ze had arrived at the door of the county office and personally greeted him. Obviously, Zhang Gongzi has been safely sent back to Zhang's Mansion by the hands of the Cheng County Order, presumably this time Lord Zhang's reward is extremely generous, which can naturally be seen from the flying eyebrows of the Cheng County Order.

Liu Ze briefly recounted the process of attacking Wohu Mountain to rescue Zhang Gongzi, but he did not mention anything about the acquisition of Zhou Cang, only that the bandits had fled.

Chengxian Order is just a result of rescuing Zhang Gongzi, he naturally doesn't care about anything else, he appreciates Liu Ze's action this time, it is not difficult to see how wise Liu Ze is to send Zhang Gongzi to Quyang first, and give a great credit to Chengxian County in vain, he is naturally grateful to Liu Ze, and promised on the spot to recommend Liu Ze to Zhang Chun and Zhang Guoxiang.

Liu Ze smiled and politely refused, and returned General Yamen's talisman to Chengxian Ling, he didn't have the heart to be a sesame mung bean official for Zhang Chun, and his own mess was still piled up there. Chengxian Ling showed a slight regret, daring to love people's homes, this is a living Lei Feng who does good deeds without leaving a name. Liu Ze refused the banquet of Chengxian Order, and immediately returned to Phoenix Valley.

The next step is naturally to march into Mangdang Mountain, but the affairs of Phoenix Valley still need to be properly settled, first of all, the placement of 2,000 troops makes Liu Ze not less troubled. Compared with the soldiers he cultivated in the Phoenix Valley, these soldiers are all robbers who kill people and set fire to rob houses, and there is no military discipline at all.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Ze still decided to organize the two thousand people into two parts and form a separate column, and as for the commander of the tribe, some people were selected from the team of the land to serve as the commanders, and three hundred strong people were selected from the two thousand people to be sent to Luoyang, and there were other uses.

According to Zhou Cang's own wishes, he followed Guan Yu, temporarily became Guan Yu's follower, and carried a big knife for Guan Yu.

Pan Feng arranged for people to go to Mangdang Mountain to spy on the military situation, and he could not make specific military deployments until the intelligence returned.

During this time, Liu Ze carried out intensive training on the new two-part series, and paid close attention to military discipline, Liu Ze announced three chapters of military law: 1. Orders and prohibitions, obey commands, and those who do not advance when they hear the drums and do not retreat will be beheaded immediately! Second, ** captives, beheaded! 3. Meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished, and those who escape from the battle will be beheaded immediately! These three military laws are not only applicable to the new two-part series, but all people in Phoenix Valley must implement them, there are no rules, there is no circle, this truth Liu Ze understands very well.

However, just two days after the military order was announced, an accident occurred, and the commander of the new two-part series, Chen Gang and Wang Meng, came to report it, and some people in the two parts openly disobeyed the order, refused to carry out the three chapters of the military law, and also incited the battalions to make trouble.

Liu Zeyi frowned and asked, "Who is the one who took the lead in making trouble?" ”

Chen Gangyu said: "It is several small leaders in the original cottage, Lin Erlai, Jia Simao, Wang Mazi and others, who openly refused to implement the three chapters of the military law in the camp, and kept saying that this Phoenix Valley is not a place for people to stay. They instigated many soldiers in the battalion to refuse to go out for drill training, demanding that they be given wine to drink and women to play with. And this morning, Lin Erlai and a few others tried to rape a female worker in a tailor shop, and they have been taken down by their subordinates. ”

Liu Ze slapped the table angrily and said: "Bastard, I really regard my military law as child's play, Chen Gang and Wang Meng, immediately return to the camp, take down all those who take the lead in making trouble, and I will personally deal with this matter." ”

Chen Gang and Wang Meng saw that Liu Ze was angry, and hurriedly gave up his hands and went out. Liu Ze ordered the herald to immediately summon all the high-level personnel of Phoenix Valley to the barracks to discuss matters.

Not long after, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jia Xu, Guan Hai, Pan Feng, Wu Anguo, Zhou Cang and others all arrived, and they heard Zhang Fei's loud voice from a distance: "Yo! What urgent military affairs does the eldest brother have, he summoned all of us early in the morning, is there a battle to be fought? ”

Liu Ze glanced at it, all of them were there, and he said in a deep voice: "This morning, there was a vicious incident in the barracks, some people openly violated the three chapters of the military law, instigated the soldiers to make trouble, and there was also an incident of attempted forcible force. ”

"Damn, who ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts and dared to make trouble here? It's all out and clicking! With Zhang Fei's fiery temper, when he heard that someone violated military discipline and raped women, he became angry.

Liu Ze's gaze slowly swept over everyone, only Zhou Cang's face was flushed, he bowed his head and was silent, it seemed that he obviously knew who was the leader of the trouble, the only thing Liu Ze couldn't figure out was whether Zhou Cang was involved in this matter.

"If the army has no order, the army will be in turmoil, and if the army can't, the army will be scattered, and the military order is like a mountain, even if I Liu Ze can't exceed the military law, those who violate the military order will be severely punished by the military law, otherwise where is the military order, how to serve the public! Come, bring the prisoners! ”

Not long after, Chen Gang and Wang Meng escorted a group of 27 prisoners to the scene, these prisoners had already been stripped of their military uniforms and armor, ropes and ropes, and the leaders must have been Lin Erlai, Jia Simao, and Wang Mazi.

Chen Gang stepped forward to report: "Lord, Lin Erlai and a group of twenty-seven prisoners have been brought here. These twenty-seven people were all minions of Crouching Tiger Mountain, and everyone's eyes naturally swept to Zhou Cang's body.

Zhou Cang walked forward with a dark face, and said, "Lin Erlai, you have been following me for many years, how can you do these things that destroy military discipline and incite trouble?" Don't you want to live anymore? He also did the rape of people's girls, hello-"

Lin Erlai looked defeated, and said: "Boss, I'm sorry, the brothers are just very aggrieved, boss, you are also the lord of a mountain, and now you have become a pawn of the people's family, I want us to drink wine in a big bowl in Crouching Tiger Mountain, eat meat in large pieces, gamble if you want to gamble, sleep with a woman if you want to sleep with a woman, damn, you can't do anything here, you have to train hard every day, this kind of day is really fed up, boss, brothers are waiting for your words, let's go back to the mountain, or live the previous days of leisure." ”

Zhou Cangtie's face turned blue and said, "Bastard, is Phoenix Mountain a place where you can come and go whenever you want?" If you don't hesitate to prostrate to the Lord and confess your sins, please punish the Lord and ask the Lord to punish him. ”

Lin Erlai looked at Liu Ze cowardly, Liu Ze's eyes swept over them like ice, Lin Erlai and the others felt a chill in their hearts, and waited for Liu Ze to speak tremblingly.

Liu Ze said to Guan Hai: "Ziqian, you are the acting military judge, and this matter is up to you." ”

Guan Hai arched his hand and said, "No." He took a step forward and said loudly: "Lin Erlai, Jia Sigou, Wang Mazi and other twenty-seven people incited soldiers to make trouble, refused to carry out military orders, and violated the first military regulations, and Lin Erlai and other seven people were suspected of raping Huang of the tailor shop, violating the second military regulations." The above facts and evidence are conclusive, Lin Erlai and others have already confessed, and according to the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Military Law, Lin Erlai and 27 others were sentenced to beheading, and they were immediately executed. ”

Capital crime! Lin Erlai and the others were like ashes, they couldn't imagine that Liu Ze was really moving, some people were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they turned their eyes to Zhou Cang for help, Zhou Cang was their only life-saving straw.

Guan Hai turned around and reported to Liu Zeyu: "Lin Erlai and other 27 people violated the three chapters of the military law, and were sentenced to behead in accordance with the law, and asked the lord to adjudicate. ”
