Chapter 169 [Reconcile with each other, punish the former and punish the latter]

――――――――――――

"For several months, Kong Ming has been by my side, specializing in uploading and issuing and conveying military orders, do you dare to say that you don't know anything? Last night, General Ben personally went to Liu Zhang's mansion to negotiate with him, how dangerous the situation was, because you had nothing to do, and entangled with Kong Ming, and dragged on for half an hour, almost trapping me in a dangerous place! Ma Mengqi, are you guilty? ”

In the sound of reprimand, but seeing Li Li's angry face, the more he talked, the more angry he became, and the case was struck, and the generals under the tent were suddenly frightened, and they were as quiet as a cicada.

"Ahh The last general 、、、" At first glance, Ma Chao, who was still chattering, heard the change of color, and exclaimed, but he looked up in amazement and met Li Li's gloomy and cold gaze.

Suddenly, Ma Chao's neck shrank, his whole body trembled, his face was like a pig's liver, and he was stunned. Immediately he was pushed by the scribe beside him, causing him to wake up suddenly, and then he got up, knelt on his knees, bowed his head and confessed: "The last general will be guilty." It is an unforgivable death sin to trap the lord in danger, and he will be willing to apologize for his sin with death! ”

"Humph! Death to apologize? With a cold snort, Li Li coldly looked down at Ma Chao, whose forehead was on the ground, and said sharply: "Okay, very good, since you are bent on death, Lone will fulfill you!" Where is the armor in front of the tent, drag this guy out, ask in public, and discipline the army! ”

With Li Li's order, the four armor soldiers outside the tent entered in response, and when they were about to step forward, they were stopped by Li Zhi, who was standing at the door of the tent, and waved their hands to signal them to stop for the time being, and then step forward later.

Sure enough, at the moment when the armor priest crossed the threshold, the scribe who had pushed behind Ma Chao hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully: "My lord, let go of the wrath of thunder." Rong Weichen said a word, and it was not too late to ask General Ma Chao again! ”

"Huh? Who are you? Why hasn't Gu seen you before? Seeing that the first person to stand up and intercede for Ma Chao turned out to be a fresh-faced scribe, Li Li's expression changed slightly. Surprised.

In fact, Li Li had already noticed the small actions made by this person just now, if he hadn't reminded him in time, Ma Chao would have been in a daze, and it would have been impossible for him to react so quickly, let alone immediately bow down and confess. It was because Li Li was very curious about this scribe he met for the first time, and there was no lack of praise in it, but he would not show it at this time.

In fact, although Li Li saw this person for the first time, he had already guessed his identity and origin. After all, civilian officials who can serve in the military must have his permission. The position he holds is first recommended by the commander of the main army (Ma Chao) or the commander of the three armies (Zhou Yu), and then decided by him personally. Therefore, although he was born in person, he should have just arrived in the army, but Li Li already knew his name, because this person was transferred from Jincheng County, Liangzhou by telling Zhou Yu.

"The lord of the court, Weichen Yang Fu, the word Yishan, entered the army two months ago on the order of Zhou Yudu, and served as the chief secretary of the Western Route Army. Ten days ago. The armies of the east and west were combined, and Zhou Yu ordered Weichen to come to the Longxiang camp to join the army, and also led Fa Cao to engage. ”

As Li Li expected, the person kneeling behind Ma Chao at this moment was Yang Yishan, the former Chengyang Fu of Jincheng County.

There was a pause. After seeing Li Li bowing slightly, Yang Fu continued: "What happened last night, Weichen also witnessed it with his own eyes. Know the whole story. General Ma Chao did have something inappropriate, and repeatedly interrogated the military adviser why he did not let the Longxiang battalion enter the city. He also asked for a warrant from the lord, claiming that there was no warrant issued by the lord. Not enforced.

For this reason, the general quarreled with the military advisor, and the two sides insisted on their own words and did not back down from each other. Seeing this, the other generals in the battalion stepped forward to interject, causing the dispute to become more and more intense, and the words were excessive, and then they spoke viciously to each other. Subsequently, General Zhao Yun and General Huang Zhong rushed to hear the news to persuade General Ma Chao and the generals, and made a statement; At this point, Ma Chao's general Fang Zhigong went to Liu Zhang's mansion alone, and the situation was very dangerous. Immediately, General Ma Chao obeyed the orders of the generals, led his troops to withdraw from the north gate, retreated to the camp, and waited for the arrival of the lord. ”

In this statement, Yang Fu did not embellish it, and it was completely based on the truth, which was generally the same as what Li Li knew. After hearing this, Li Li was noncommittal, still standing with his hands in his hands, looking at Yang Fu expressionlessly, he knew that Yang Fu's next words should be to intercede for Ma Chao.

Sure enough, after seeing Li Li's noncommittal expression, Yang Fu said respectfully: "For what happened last night, Weichen has an unshirkable responsibility, and the responsibility is still above General Ma Chao. As a member of the army and the law of the Longxiang battalion, Weichen strictly supervises military discipline, restrains the generals and sergeants in the battalion to abide by military regulations, and resolutely implements the military orders of the lord.

However, the military orders handed down by the military advisors are all oral, and there is no edict from the lord or the seal of the lord to rely on. Now that we are in the midst of a great war, the commanders of each battalion should abide by the military regulations, and only when they see the warrant of the lord or the seal of the tiger talisman can they mobilize the troops and horses. The lord has already made a clear order, and all military orders must be signed by the lord, and hold the lord's seal letter or tiger talisman, and the two are gathered together to make a number, and any other military orders that are orally transmitted, the generals of each battalion will not obey the order; In case of emergency, it is still necessary to obtain a certificate before receiving the order. Last night's incident happened suddenly, and we did not receive the order of the lord in advance, but the military division came to convey the order, even if the lord ordered it, the commander of the army still needed a certificate before it could be executed.

It was General Ma Chao who was indeed at fault for offending the military advisor and delaying the fighter plane, but he did not violate military discipline, nor did he disregard the lord in danger, and his crime did not lead to death. In contrast, Weichen's supervision is unfavorable, the law enforcement is not strict, and it almost causes a catastrophe, and the crime is unforgivable. It is a capital crime for Weichen to ask for himself, and he asks the lord to be punished canonically, and to correct the military law! After saying that, Yang Fu bowed his head and bowed his head, willing to bow to the law.

Before Yang Fu's words fell, all the generals under the tent got up, bowed their knees, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to be punished, please surrender the lord!" ”

In an instant, only a few Jin Yiwei generals who followed Li Li to the camp and Wu Yi and Dong He were still sitting under the tent, and the remaining more than 50 cases were almost empty, all kneeling in the middle of the big tent, extending from the bottom of the steps to the door of the big tent.

Seeing that more than 50 generals of the Long Xiang battalion from top to bottom all knelt down to plead guilty, Li Li's face instantly became extremely gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and a clearly visible anger appeared between his eyebrows, and his whole body was full of murderous aura.

"Yes, that's great! You are working together, swarming up, competing to ask for guilt, don't you all think that the law does not blame the public, why can't you wait? It's a pity that such a forced palace move is useless for Lonely! Since he started the army alone, he has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, how can he have been coerced by others? ”

In a sneering cold voice, Li Li was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "Where is Jin Yiwei? Drag all these disobedient people out of the tent and kill them! ”

"Ahh A ruthless "killing" fell into the ears of dozens of generals under the tent, and they were suddenly dumbfounded, and they all exclaimed in shock, and looked up in horror, but saw Li Li's face was like ice, his whole body was murderous, and his fierce eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Shh At this moment, Wu Yi and Dong He, who were sitting on the lower steps, gasped, their faces were pale and bloodless, their hearts were pounding, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. They had long heard that Li Li was an iron-blooded overlord who usually treated people gently, but once he got angry, he would be unimaginable, and dozens or hundreds of people would die at every turn, and even rivers of blood, mountains of corpses, and thousands of miles of corpses. However, this is just a rumor, and I have not seen it with my own eyes, so I cannot believe it.

But at this moment, this scene was vividly displayed in front of the two of them, and the black pressure under the tent was full of battle-hardened and battle-hardened battlefield generals, but because of their words, they mistakenly thought that all the generals would intercede for Ma Chao together, so that Ma Chao could be spared from the death penalty, but this move just angered Li Li. As a result, Li Li was furious and brazenly ordered all beheadings, which was really the power of the king that could not be violated.

This scene was clearly presented in front of Wu Yi and Dong He, which frightened them all over and almost fell sideways.

Just when there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the tent, Wu Yi, Dong He, and several Jin Yiwei generals finally couldn't sit still, and immediately got up and knelt on the ground, and pleaded one after another: "The lord is angry, don't do this!" Although the generals were negligent, they finally carried out the orders of the military advisors and did not cause a catastrophe, which is really not a crime to death! Wechen (the last general) and others implored the Lord to be gracious, forgive the generals for their capital crimes, and give the generals a chance to make meritorious contributions and atone for their sins. I beseech the Lord to be enlightened, and the Lord is gracious! This is the real pleading, Dong He, Wu Yi and the six Jin Yiwei generals are completely worshipping and crying, so that they can't help choking up after they finish speaking, but they don't dare to make a sound. I am afraid that I will anger Li Li again, and if I fail to intercede, I will become fuel to the fire, and then I will incur a disaster that will be unjustified, and it will be difficult to protect myself.

"Humph! In front of Lonely, you dare to openly force the palace, it is simply wishful thinking and whimsical! Li Li glared angrily at Ma Chao and the other generals, snorted coldly with disdain, and immediately waved his hand to signal Jin Yiwei, who had crossed the threshold, to retreat, his tone changed sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "For the sake of Ziyuan and Youzai interceding for you, I will spare your life today." However, if you delay the fighter plane, despise the military advisor, and act recklessly, you can avoid the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be escaped! ”

Speaking of this, Li Li raised his hand and motioned for Wu Yi and Dong He to get up and sit down, and continued: "From today onwards, the generals of the Longxiang battalion will be fined one year below Ma Chao, and the generals at the rank of Zhonglang and above will be fined one year, and the remaining generals will be fined half a year, and they will not be promoted to the rank of official within three years. Yang Fu, who joined the army, did not strictly enforce the law, was negligent and slack, but when he first joined the army, he was also a first offender, and he was given a light sentence and fined for half a year, and from tomorrow until the arrival of the new commander, he temporarily took the position of commander. ”

After punishing the generals and admonishing them, Li Li waved his hand to signal the generals to get up, then put on his battle robe again, strode down the steps, and said as he walked: "Wait for the army to set off quickly, follow me to the East Gate camp, and meet Zhou Yu's army." ”

When he was approaching the door of the tent, he saw Li Li turn around in the twilight, and said to Ma Chao, who was kneeling on the ground at a loss: "From tomorrow, Meng Qi will not need to lead the army, and all the previous officials and lords will be dismissed, demoted to grooms, and go to the Jinyi Guard camp to feed the horses." For three months, and then go back to the district, be sure to take care of the white dragon horse, which is the mount of the military advisor. After saying that, Li Li walked straight out of the big tent, and the generals under the tent followed.
