Chapter 509: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Huang Gai was pushed out of the palace gate and executed on the street, beaten to the point that his skin was open, blood flowed, and the officers and soldiers and the people all hid their eyes.
Liu Qi listened to the snapping sound from time to time outside, and Huang Gai kept snorting, and secretly gritted his teeth, although he was not as close to Huang Gai as Zhou Yu, but he still couldn't bear to beat an old man in his seventies and eighties innocently.
"Listen to the order!" Liu Qi didn't want to listen to the movement outside, scolded the generals, and said in a deep voice: "The art of war is cloudy, and the order is forbidden, so the three armies can die." Huang Gai relied on his qualifications to mess with my law, if it goes on like this for a long time, how can he break Cao? I am determined to worship Zhao Yun as the general of the expedition to the north, Chen Zhi as the right protector, and Lu Fan as the left protector, commanding the battalions, and strictly upholding the military law. ”
Han Dang's eyes were red with anger, and he said angrily: "I have waited for General Sun to pacify Jiangnan, after hundreds of battles; The generals either rebelled against the generals, or from the Marquis of Wu, all of them were stubborn and stubborn, born and died, so that there was this Jiangdong foundation. You are no more than the son-in-law of the Sun family, who is in charge of the military on your behalf, what right do you have to take away the military power from us, and you can't do it if you want to take over the master? ”
Chen Wu, Quan Cong and other generals all responded, shouting one after another: "What General Han said is extremely true, what right do you have to take away the power of our soldiers? ”
Liu Qi shouted: "I can't bear to bury the Sun family's foundation like this, so I have to make this decision." I think when I first arrived in Huainan, the military and government didn't ask any questions, and by waiting for the ruling, I didn't want to be defeated by Cao's army, so why not let the battles of Hefei and Shouchun be staged again? ”
Han Dang and the others were all very angry, their faces turned red, they gritted their teeth, but they couldn't speak, especially the battle of Hefei, all the generals had participated, and that battle became a joke in the world, and the shame of life could not be refuted at all.
Liu Qi said coldly: "I am entrusted by Wu Hou with a heavy responsibility, this time I will fight to the death with Cao thief, the war in the Central Plains has already been seen, this is just when the east and the west are advancing together, Zhao Zilong often wins the general, and has broken the Cao army many times, why are you not satisfied?" ”
Han Dang sneered: "The general has such a big breath, can it be that Zhao Yun alone can break the enemy?" ”
Liu Qi said: "The alliance broke Cao, but I and Wu Hou made a joint decision, and we should work together with the generals, this is an opportunity for Jiangdong people to be ashamed." If you don't make any efforts, you can stick to the war, and General Guan will march eastward, and then Jiangdong will really laugh for 10,000 years! ”
The generals' faces were ugly, and they only heard a person outside the door say loudly: "General Liu really cares about Jiangdong?" If you worship Zhao Zilong as a general, you will send troops to fight against Cao's army tomorrow, and we will each send a team of men and horses to see which is higher and which is lower! ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was Ling Tong, who was blasted out by Zhao Yun, who turned back, hugged his fist at Liu Qi and said: "It's not a skill to do something to your allies, kill the enemy before the battle, and then divide the high and low." ”
"Great!" Liu Qi praised: "This is a Jiangdong man, with the bearing of an overlord." ”
Then he slowly glanced at the generals and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Han Dang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "A word is a certainty!" ”
Liu Qi sent an order to worship Zhao Yun as the general, Han Dang as the deputy general, each guard the camp, firmly guard the city, no general order is not allowed to move, and those who violate the order will not be killed.
At this time, after the execution outside the mansion was completed, Huang Gai was beaten and passed out, and was carried back to the pavilion, and the generals were concerned about his injuries and left angrily.
Lu Su sighed: "Poor General Huang has been fighting all his life, and in the end he has suffered this torture, I am afraid that he will be old and fall into the root of his illness from now on, so how can people bear it?" ”
Liu Qi comforted: "Zijing doesn't have to worry, the executioner has his own means, don't look at the old general's skin and flesh, in fact, he has not hurt his muscles and bones, but his flesh is just a flesh injury." ”
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stroked his beard and said: "Today's scene will definitely report to Cao Cao, but this thief is suspicious by nature, I don't know if I can hide it from him." ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "If Sima Yi is still in the camp, he may be able to see through it, and the rest of the Cao Ying people will definitely see through this plan, and Mr. will appease the generals as soon as possible!" ”
Lu Su said goodbye to Liu Qi, and then came to visit Huang Gai, all the generals gathered around the bed, seeing that there were blood marks on their backs, some people couldn't help crying, and scolded Liu Qi for bullying people too much.
Seeing Lu Su come in, Han Dang and the others had gloomy faces, snorted coldly and left, Lu Su didn't stop Liu Qi today, in their opinion, he deliberately embarrassed the generals and helped Liu Qi to establish his authority.
After a short time, the doctor finished wiping the potion, and Lu Su saw that Huang Gai's face was sallow, and he was sweating profusely, and sighed: "The old general has suffered. ”
Huang Gaiqiang said with a smile: "For the foundation of Jiangdong, how many men have been stained with blood, and there are no bones left, and there are only skin and flesh injuries, what is the way?" A certain by the grace of Wu Hou II, Zhongmou and ......, this time into the Central Plains, is Bo Fu's last wish, if I can return to Luoyang, for the two generals to win fame, I will be beaten again, it is also worth it. ”
"The general is a true hero!" Lu Su also understood that Huang Gai, the first veterans who followed Sun Jian, were all ancient people, similar to Sun Jian, not only for selfish hegemony, but also for the mind of worrying about the country and the people, and he could be called a national soldier.
Huang Gaiyan said: "I have already written the book, this person needs a confidant, and a person who can speak well can be served, I don't know who to send?" ”
Lu Su said: "The old general doesn't have to worry, Kan Ze has been selected as the messenger, he has a lot of friendship with Zhongmou, and he will definitely be able to move Cao Thief." ”
Huang Gai nodded and said: "Kan Derun has always been loyal, my heart is at peace!" ”
Lu Su said with a smile: "The old general just rest assured to recuperate from his injuries, and when this plan is completed, he will also want the old general to lead the troops to kill the enemy and raise the prestige of my Jiangdong!" ”
Huang Gai couldn't help laughing, pulled the wound and gasped, Lu Su told him to recuperate from his injuries, and said goodbye and rushed to the barracks, for fear that someone would be dissatisfied and make trouble in secret, which would be self-defeating.
Before I knew it, it was evening, and before I arrived at the camp gate, I was stopped by a soldier and asked to go to Han Dang's residence.
After seeing the salute, Lu Su said: "There will be a decisive battle with the Wei army tomorrow, why doesn't the general go to the camp to inspire the three armies?" ”
"Humph!" Han Dang snorted coldly, stared at Lu Su and asked: "Ri Liu Qi angrily scolded the public, but in fact, he was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, obviously embarrassing me and others, although Mr. pleaded, why didn't he stop him with us?" ”
Lu Su sighed: "At the moment of the great enemy, it is really taboo for the generals to be discordant, if they are all opposite to Liu Qi today, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the army, and Huainan will be taken advantage of by Cao thieves!" ”
Han Dang was furious, and shouted: "Without Liu Qi, can't we resist Cao?" ”
Lu Su smiled bitterly: "Cao Thief is treacherous, quite capable of using tricks, I can't be hostile to Jiangdong Feigongjin." If Liu Qi leaves like this, Jiangdong will be in chaos, and General Han is a former minister of Jiangdong, and he hopes to focus on the overall situation. ”
Han Dang gritted his teeth and said: "If I focus on the overall situation again, Jiangdong will definitely be worth Liu Qi's gains!" I don't care what Mr. and Gong Fu have seen and heard in Ganlu Temple, I must not ask Liu Qijiu to occupy the magpie's nest, otherwise I will come to the spring, what kind of face do I have to meet the two ancestors? ”
Lu Su couldn't imagine that Han Dang was a false and wrongful snake, and said in shock: "What does the general want?" ”
Han Dang pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qi'er deceived me that there is no one in Jiangdong, and a certain person is determined to unite with the generals to start an incident tonight, kill Liu Qi first, be ashamed of the public, and avenge Wu Hou!" ”
