Chapter Seventy-Eight: Leading by Example

It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Liu Bei's expression suddenly became terrifying.

No one had ever seen Liu Bei show such an expression.

I saw him clutching the hilt of his sword tightly in his hand, and asked word by word: "You have committed so many military laws." Just name one of the things you have wronged, and you will avoid death! And so-and-so can also give you a head! How is it! ”

Li Kui was shocked when he heard this, but he still cried and shouted: "If you want to kill, kill it!" My iron bull's life is an adult's. No matter how you kill it, I'm convinced! ”

"You really don't understand anything......"

Liu Bei shook his head, and the word 'disappointed' was written all over his face. He thought that Li Kui was just rude, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even understand human words.

Other people may not know much about the art of war, but Liu Bei has fought for so many years, and his military ability is no matter how bad it is, and he knows it when he learns from Zhuge Liang on weekdays.

Not to mention anything else, Zhuge Liang was notoriously rigorous in governing the army. He read the history books, and remembered that during Kong Ming's last Northern Expedition, he still divided his troops in the hinterland of Wei with weak troops, and in front of Sima Yi, he achieved the rule of 'the people are safe and the army is selfless'.

It is conceivable that iron-like military discipline is the supreme magic weapon for victory.

If he doesn't kill Li Kui today, then he won't need to lead troops to fight in the future!

Just as Li Kui continued to cry. Everyone saw Liu Bei suddenly step forward and said heavily, "Law enforcement officer." If I had come back a day earlier, today's tragedy would have been avoided! ”

Liu Bei stared at Pei Xuan and said: "According to the laws and regulations of the army, if any soldier returns home halfway and fails to return within the time limit, how should he be punished?" ”

"According to military regulations, those who return to their hometowns and provinces and do not return within seven days will be whipped twenty! Those who fail to return within 10 days will have 20 canes and be demoted by one level! If the violation is overdue for more than 10 days, you can ask for it! ”

Pei Xuan was familiar with the laws and regulations in the army, and replied decisively. However, after he finished speaking, he stared straight at Liu Bei. As if something had been expected.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I am two days overdue, and during this period, my subordinate Marquis Yu violated military law. How should they be punished for committing a grave sin? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers and soldiers were stunned. Pei Xuan saw Liu Bei's serious expression, and also replied hesitantly: "This ...... This time, it was Li Kui who violated military law. What do you do to adults? How can you punish sin! ”

Liu Bei Zhengse said: "As the chief general, I didn't know people, and I didn't order anyone to discipline Li Kui before I left the camp, so that this person violated military law!" Lead by example. ”

"Li Kui's crime! Impunity is not enough to outrage the people! It's all my fault! ”

Li Kui has a bad personality and has a lot of problems. At first, Liu Bei thought that if he could really tame the other party, he believed that he would definitely be able to follow him to fight in the north and south.

It's a pity that Liu Bei can only correct Li Kui on the spot after all.

With him, something will happen in the barracks sooner or later!

Liu Bei thought of this, and the hesitation in his heart was gone. Said sharply: "I'm two days overdue!" When the spine is forty! Sheriff! Execute! ”

Hearing that Liu Bei was going to let himself suffer the punishment of the spine, everyone in the audience was stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

However, Liu Bei still looked at Pei Xuan without hesitation, and said loudly: "I can't be punished yet!" ”

After speaking. He took off his shirt. He ordered someone to take a bench and lie down on his own. Said sharply: "Execution!" If you dare to hesitate! Somebody cut off your head first! ”

Seeing this, Pei Xuan knew that Liu Bei was determined to lead by example. So he ordered them to come forward.

Wu Song hurriedly said, "My lord! This time it is not good for me to govern the army! It was Li Kui who violated military law. I deserve to take this battle! ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you!" ”

"My lord! The sin lies with Li Kui, just put him to death, and the canonical punishment can be revealed! Why do you suffer such a heavy punishment! ”

Sun Li, Jiang Jing and other generals, they also felt that Liu Bei was too heavy this time, and they couldn't bear to see Liu Bei suffer the forty sticks.

"I've made up my mind, I don't need to persuade again!" Liu Bei shouted back from the soldiers, "Today's events, you must remember them!" Those in the army should strictly abide by military discipline! Generals, you must also restrain your subordinates! ”

With that, he ordered the two executioners to come behind him. Noticing the overwhelmed looks of the two, Liu Bei shouted: "If you are so biased that your subordinates are merciful, you should know the consequences!" ”

When the two soldiers heard this, they glanced at each other, and they could only be ruthless, and after Pei Xuan said "execution", they hit Liu Bei with a stick on his back.

The muffled sound on the stage also kept coming, and from the sound alone, you could imagine the intensity of the execution.

Many people who were loyal to Liu Bei, such as Wang Er and Tian Si, all bowed their heads in resentment, and had already decided in their hearts that after the execution, they would kill Li Kui's entire family to repay this hatred!

However, when they exchanged glances with each other offstage and raised their heads again, Liu Bei stared at them with a cold face and a pair of red eyes. That expression speaks for itself.

Wang Er and the others were a little weak-hearted, and they couldn't help lowering their heads and didn't dare to look at him.

I saw that Liu Bei's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of mung beans. However, he clenched his teeth and did not scream a single scream. At this moment, he showed perseverance and toughness, which made the soldiers in the audience all admire.

Then the last doubt and slack in my heart disappeared.

Liu Bei was telling them all by doing this. Since you are already planning to join the army, you must abide by the rules of the barracks, and there is no way out.

And Li Kui was already trembling in a hurry at the moment, God knew that Liu Bei was so willing to be punished, in addition to sincerely blaming himself, he was also determined to kill himself.

Of course, everyone can no longer look at Li Kui at this moment.

Forty sticks were quickly finished. And Liu Bei's back was already beaten with open skin. When he was helped to his feet, with his back to the soldiers.

The soldiers looked at the bloody piece, and they were all shocked.

"My lord......" Wu Song and the others hurriedly stepped forward.

Liu Bei used the sword as a crutch, and said in a trembling voice: "It's okay......"

Waving his hand, he motioned for Wu Song and them to stand back. After Liu Bei gasped for a few moments, he asked, "Is there anyone still discharged from the army now?" If someone is discharged from the army, he is willing to give him two silver taels to order him to leave! ”

No one in the audience moved. Liu Bei then said: "This is a promise made to you by a certain family!" If you don't want to do it this time, you will be violating military law like Li Kui in the future! No mercy! ”

These people are a rabble, and it is better to finish the conversation beforehand. It is also very convenient when doing things in the future.

"Ask again. Does anyone want to leave? ”

Finally, a person walked out with his head down and a red face. Seeing this, Liu Bei nodded: "Is there anything else?" ”

There was one person, there were two people, and soon there were a hundred or so people coming out of the group with their heads bowed.

Liu Bei took a cursory look. Most of them are from Jiangzhou, or the original cottage of people. They just can't stand the strict days in the barracks. Liu Bei gave them a chance, and they walked out.
