Section 23: Killing, rewarding, and persuading

The white dog raised his knife.

"Don't kill me! Didn't you say that you would surrender and not kill! ”

In Zhang Shi's camp, a captured Han soldier cried. Around him, the rest of the Han army was silent.

"General, Qu Shuai said, surrender and don't kill." A soldier persuaded next to the white dog.

The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

"He's a bird!" The white dog took a sip. "It's not us who helps him, he's a fart Qu Shuai. The thieves killed Lao Tzu's entire family, Lao Tzu killed a few to take revenge, what's the big deal! ”

"This is military discipline." Behind him, Wang Luo's voice came. "You have a grudge, you should report it on the battlefield. You should not show your might to those who have been taken prisoner by others, or to those who have surrendered. ”

"Lao Tzu is killed, what do you want?"

"Military discipline."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Erjin beside Wang Luo forced over with a few of his subordinates. The white dog raised the knife, but was held up by the two people behind him, grabbed the knife, and fell to the ground.

Bai Erjin approached, raised his knife, and glanced at Wang Luo.

Wang Luo nodded, and saw the subordinate raise his knife to his former boss, and the knife fell in his hand, blood spurted out, and the head rolled to the side.

The soldier next to him trembled and did not dare to make a sound. Wang Luo glanced at the head. "Send the first order to the whole army and reaffirm military discipline. Those who violate military discipline will be immediately punished. ”

"Yes!" Bai Erjin bent down, picked up the head of the white dog, turned over on the horse, and gave the order.

A moment later, Su Si drove his horse with more than a dozen of his men. When he saw the corpse of the white dog, he showed a shocked expression. "You... Kill him? ”

"Violating military discipline and killing prisoners indiscriminately, they had to be executed." Wang Luo touched the letter in his arms, which Zhou Yingxiong had just sent. "Please come over to General Zhang Shishi."

"What's wrong with Zhang Shi? You..."Su Si touched the handle of the knife. "He didn't do anything wrong."

As he was talking, the heavily armed Zhang Shi was covered in blood, carrying a short sword that was still dripping blood, and walked side by side with Zhang Xiong.

"General Zhang has worked hard." Wang Luo stepped forward. "This time I won, thanks to you blocking the Han army, so I didn't teach them to run. That's a big deal. ”

As he spoke, Wang Luo took a set of Han army armor from Liu An on the side. "I'll give this to the general."

Zhang Shi was a little surprised, but he still arched his hand. "It was Qu Shuai who arranged it properly and surrounded the Han army. I'm just doing my duty and trying my best to kill the enemy. ”

"If everyone could be as brave as a general, the Han army would have been defeated a long time ago."

Zhang Shi smiled at this compliment, as if he was very comfortable, and accepted it.

After a few more polite words between the two sides, Zhang Shi took his leave.

"We won." Seeing Wang Luo's treatment of Zhang Shi and Zhang Shi's attitude, Su Si's expression first flashed a gloomy, and then relaxed.

Wang Luo smiled. "yes, won."

"I also persuaded Lao Bai, but his temperament... Alas! Serious military discipline is also a good thing, Zhang Qushuai and Guo Qushuai have also thought about it before, but they can't be ruthless. ”

"He used to be Lin Qiqu Shuai's subordinate?"

"It's... yes..."

"You too?"

"No.. I'm with Zhang Qushuai. ”

Su Si's expression was a little embarrassed. Obviously, he was not completely ignorant of the White Dog's contact with outsiders.

In terms of what kind of attitude to choose, Wang Luo considered it. In the end, he decided to go it all out.

"I can win." On the battlefield, this is the most convincing content.

"I don't doubt Huang Tian or something." After being thrown into such a world for some reason, even as the successor of socialism, he could not completely doubt the existence of the gods. "I don't believe it either. On the battlefield, the so-called gods are too weak. You all believe it, but you keep losing. ”

"This... Guo Qushuai said before that this is Huang Tian's test for us. ”

Su Si's tone was very reluctant. "It's one thing to let a man die in the name of a 'test,' and it's another thing to let a woman or a child die." You have children, so this will work for you.

"I can win." Wang Luo repeated it again. "I want to live, I want to defeat the enemy in front of me, I want to let these in front of me..." Wang Luo paused and pointed to the soldiers in front of him who were packing up the spoils of war.

"The miserable people who want to live well and work hard, but have suffered so much that they can't even eat enough, as well as their wives and children, live a good life."

Su Si nodded. "That's what the great sages and good teachers mean."

"On the battlefield, he will lose." Wang Luo's voice was firm. "I'm going to win. Are you willing to die now? ”

Su Si pursed his lips.

"I don't want to. Someone once said, unknown life, peace knows death? It may or may not be happy after death. There's no way to know. I don't want to bet on the 'unknown'. I just want to take everyone to win together and live well together. ”

"After winning, we can divide the land of the powerful landlords, so that everyone can have land to plant, and everyone can have enough to eat. Isn't that right? ”

Su Si didn't answer. Zhang Xiong on the side had already shouted, "It's definitely right!" I just want to live a better life and not be bullied, so I joined the Yellow Turban team! ”

"Qu Shuai is right." The iron pillar on the side should also be in harmony. "I don't care about any gods and ghosts, I can lead the big guys to win the battle, so I deserve everyone to follow!"

The soldiers around shouted out.

"With Wang Luo, win the battle!"

"With Wang Luo, win the battle!"

The soldiers in the distance heard it and shouted along.

After all, it was a rare victory, and they deserved to be excited. Wang Luo kept staring at Su Si, but he couldn't see the other party's decision.

The white dog is disposed of, and Zhang Shi is easy to handle. In this way, Su Si's support is very important.

Newly promoted officers, although they are good, have a short time to lead troops, and they still fight against the enemy, and when they fight with their own people---- prestige and combat effectiveness are not enough. And with the support of Su Si, there will be no problems with their position, and even swallowing the enemy troops is not impossible.

What the white dog did, he couldn't possibly not know. If he doesn't take a stand, then he has to ......

A few minutes later, Wang Luo almost gave up hope, and when he reached for the hilt of the knife, Su Si spoke.

"The great sage and mentor saved my life."

"Hmm."

"White Dog, Mao Man, according to my order, to contact Lin Qushuai. He has a store of grain there, and when they are gathered in one place, they can sustain him for half a month. ”

"Hmm." What's going on?!!!

"Even if you win these two games, the Han army is still strong, and you can't rush out, and everyone is still dead. It's better for us to go back to the camp together, I won't help him, you are still Qu Shuai, Lin Qi can't do anything to you. ”

It turns out that this is the case, and it turns out that you are the mastermind behind it. "Hmm."

"Of course, you can also go back to the teacher. However, his men, plus those who have recently been reinforced, also have more than 4,000 people. When the Han army comes again when the fight starts, what will you do? ”

Fortunately, there was no division of troops. Wang Luo felt the cold sweat behind him. "What are you going to do?"

Hearing this question, Su Si's expression became extremely sincere. "Why don't we go back together and work together to tide over the difficulties."

Can I feel that he is not hostile to me---- is it because of this that I have a sense of doubt? Or is it because there were too many illogical things before? "It's not impossible. So who is the commander-in-chief? ”

"He was personally appointed by the great sages and mentors, which is different from what we recommended."

"Go and tell him, 'I will listen to his commands, which are reasonable, and I will not listen to those that are unreasonable; My men are not under his control; I will not let him move the captives and baggage that I have captured; The armor made in the camp can be divided into a part; He has iron ore ingots, and I can build them for him, but he has to trade them for food. ”

"Yes, but you have to bow down to him, to him in front of the officers. At least nominally, admit that he is Qu Shuai. ”

"Yes." Wang Luo stared at Su Si. "But he can agree to all these things you mention?" Did you already negotiate? Or does he not promise you that there is a way?

"I'll go now." Su Si looked at the sun. "I'll be back in two hours. If I don't come back, you can take your troops and attack it. ”

"Okay, two hours." Wang Luo agreed.

"Lin Qi." After Su Si left, Wang Luo groped his chin. "I seem to have heard this name, and I am also an officer."

"Oh, yes, it's that guy."
