"The system in the army, five people are in a team, and the army protects each other; Ten people are what, and even each other is protected; Fifty is a genus, and it belongs to mutual protection; Hundreds of people are Lu, and Lu is also protected! ”

"Whoever has violated the prohibition shall be exempted from sin; Knowing and exposing it, the whole army will be punished. Whoever has been ordered to break the prohibition shall be exposed and exempted from sin; Knowing and revealing everything, there is a punishment for everything...... Those who have violated the prohibition shall be exempted from the crime if they are exposed; Knowing and exposing it, the whole Lu will be punished! ”

"Today, there are Yangshan Pass soldiers and thousands of servants, killing their superiors and rebelling, according to military law, they should all be punished!"

Although it was the height of summer and the weather was hot, the thousand rebels who were pressed to the ground and tied their hands behind their backs were cold when they heard the herald's loud shouts.

Look at the posture, listen to these words, although they have fallen, they still want to kill them?

Among the 1,000 people, there were different ages and levels, ranging from thin and withered fifty-year-old men to unkempt young men of eighteen or nineteen, who were either wearing thin armor or brown clothes of forced labor, and had been digging mountains in Lingnan for many years to take risks, either injured or sick, because the granary was burned, and they had been hungry for many days, and they were all weak.

But even so, they still have a strong desire to survive in their eyes, so they are lucky and surrender, but they are slapped in the face by reality.

Hope turned to despair, and many people yelled angrily.

"Lu Jia Xiao'er, deceive us!"

Lu Jia heard it in his ears, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, knelt down in front of Heifu with a plop, and said with a platter:

"Junhou, you have agreed with Lu Jia that for a period of ten days, if you can make the rebels in Yangshan Pass surrender, you will spare their lives, now Lu Jia does not disgrace his mission, and please keep his promise!"

But Heifu was unmoved: "You also know that they are traitors, how can you pardon them?" ”

Lu Jia was reluctant to give up: "The prince told me in person that more than 20 years ago, there was a similar thing, the rebellion of Changyu, and more than 4,000 people from his disciples rebelled, but after His Majesty the Emperor put down the rebellion, he only exiled them to Daoshu and did not kill them......

Heifu smiled: "The world is so big, only the one who can override the law is only His Majesty." The rest of the tens of thousands of people, even if they are sons and grandsons, if they violate the law of the country, they still can't escape punishment, let alone the first soldier of Qian? Unless His Majesty makes an exception for amnesty. ”

"However, Your Majesty has the right to amnesty, but as a general, I can only follow the rules! If I forgive him, I will be the one who has broken the law! ”

Lu Jia thinks this is an excuse, the army is far away, and even the children of the prison army did not come to Lingnan because of heat stroke, whether this group of people live or die, and it is not Heifu who has the final say?

He pleaded again: "Having said that, the prince clearly promised that he would intercede with His Majesty and spare their lives!" ”

Heifu seemed to have just remembered, and scratched his sideburns: "Come and go for half a year, how can the reward and punishment be overdue?" If it is not punished today, I am afraid that the entire southern army will be in chaos, and the soldiers can kill them if they complain about their generals, and anyway, as long as they surrender afterwards, they will be able to escape punishment. Its mausoleum was unkempt, broken, struck by water and lightning, and the three armies were in chaos. I can't mess with hundreds of thousands of people because of these few thousand! ”

The more Lu Jia listened, the more chilled he became, and then bowed again:

"The prince keeps talking about military law, ten days ago, when I was asked to deceive the pass with rhetoric, why didn't you say a word? Confucius Yun, people have no faith, and they don't know it. The big car is not 輗 (ní), and the small car is not 軏 (yuè), how can it be done? The five virtues of the generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness, if the prince breaks his promise today, I am afraid that no soldier will dare to believe you in the future, and promised everyone that they will send people to rotate and let them go back to Nanjun and Hengshan to rest, is it also a lie? ”

"It's useless to talk too much!"

Heifu became extremely stubborn, and straightened his face: "There is a generous reward for entering, severe punishment for retreating, and death if you rebel, this is called a letter general, compared to a personal agreement with a small letter, follow the military law, this is a big letter!" I've made up my mind, step down! ”

Although Lu Jia is a Confucian student, he also has a little ambition, and under anger, he jumped up, leaned his neck, and took a few steps forward:

"I asked myself if I was also a husband, I don't want to follow the villain to break his promise, since the general wants to kill, then even Lu Jia will kill it together!"

"Okay."

He also took himself too seriously, without Lu Jia's imagination, Heifu simply agreed, and compared his hands, and the guards really pulled Lu Jia down!

Lu Jia was completely stunned, and after being stunned for a while, he turned around and scolded:

"Hef, you...... You broke your word and became fat, and you became a prince in vain! With such a villain's behavior, he is afraid that he will be killed in the future! ”

……

Lu Jia's scolding was endless, until he was blocked by a piece of cloth that was still called by "Mr. Lu", and was dragged to the Huangxi River, kneeling side by side with the thousand rebels.

Heifu's emotionless voice rang out:

"The officials are the table of the soldiers, from the chief above, to the left and right generals, the top and bottom are all protecting each other, and now thousands of people are plotting rebellion, and the military officials are hard to shirk the blame, first cut a hundred chiefs, tun chiefs, and even chiefs!"

These small roles do not need to be given by Qin Shi Huang. Anpu, who was loyal to Heifu, sent the people of Huangxi Pass, and cooperated with Heifu to bring soldiers from the Changsha battalion, in groups of three, armed with machetes made in the Emei Metro, starting from ten hundred chiefs, followed by twenty tun chiefs, and finally one hundred Shi chiefs......

With terrible howls and begging for mercy, more than 100 human heads rolled and fell on the beach by the river, and the blood collected into a stream and merged into the water, and for a time, the water was red!

And the blade has also been rolled up, and it must be replaced.

The five thousand soldiers of the Chenxian battalion stood in the distance, looking at this scene with a complicated expression, and there was no shortage of whispers, but no one dared to stop them.

Lu Jia also knelt by the stream, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, shocked.

Yes, he actually forgot that four years ago, Qidi Zhutian rebelled, Linzi and Jibei were in turmoil, and Heifu, as a general, led the Jiaodong soldiers to pacify.

I heard that he first opened a killing ring in Linzi City, executed 2,000 rebel families, and after the first battle of the Tang Dynasty, he slaughtered 10,000 rebels, and nailed them to the wooden frame, inserted in the side of the road pavilion station, separated by ten miles, looking at each other from afar.

Those terrifying wooden skeletons are all over the Central Plains, used to deter those who are dissatisfied with Qin, and there are many Shouchun.

"This black man is a cool official and butcher who doesn't believe in his words and kills people without blinking, how could I believe his nonsense at that time?"

Lu Jia couldn't regret it.

At this time, the military officials have been killed, and it is the turn of ordinary soldiers and conscripts.

The Huainan pawn next to Lu Jia was also frightened, crying and crying: "I didn't want to rebel, I was coerced by other people, and I didn't kill anyone, I just want to rest, I just want to go home......"

Yes, they just want to go home, they just don't want to be mistreated, they just want to get out of this green hell, what's wrong?

But it was too late, and the Changsha soldiers with machetes stepped forward, grabbed everyone's hair buns, and slowly lifted their blades, seeing that they were about to be separated.

Only no one touched Lu Jia.

But his heart was dead.

I originally wanted to revitalize Confucianism and promote the concept of governing the world of the ancestor Confucius, so that this world no longer needs to be killed by killing, and can be used both civil and military, and morality and punishment can be combined......

But I never thought that it would end up here, in this way.

"Even if I read poetry and books to the fullest, and my tongue is sharp, I can't defeat the sword after all."

The sunlight reflected off his blade stabbed him, and he closed his eyes, not wanting to see the blood, and the world turned into darkness, just waiting for the end of everything.

But this time, there was no sound of machetes slashing into bones, no heads falling into the water, only a few dry howls from the side, and then a surprise exclamation!

"I didn't ...... Not dead! ”

Lu Jia opened his eyes and saw that the young man on the side had not been beheaded, and the Changsha soldier had only cut off his bun! The young man's face was full of surprise, and he didn't realize that he had lost his intent.

Not only him, but when he looked up, hundreds of people were all cut off their buns, as if it was a large shaving scene.

"Get up!"

The soldiers rudely mentioned the rebels, and everyone was surprised and delighted, thinking that they were going to die, and some people even accidentally broke out of the feces and urine, so they could only cross their feet and return to the gate in embarrassment.

Heifu had already moved to the pass, his sword overlooking everything.

He sent a message to him: "If you follow the military law, you and other rebels will kill the officials, and you should be punished." However, Benhou promised in advance that those who descended would not die. Now I don't want to break my word, so I will only punish the chief and above, and the rest of the people will not be put to death for the time being, and the punishment will be given first, and the punishment will be punished as a prisoner, and they will serve their lives in the army. ”

This reversal came suddenly, and when they heard that they didn't have to be executed, the seven or eight hundred rebels were all relieved, and they had relatives, but they also had a lingering sense of humiliation.

At that moment, Heifu said loudly again:

"Where is Jun Zhengcheng?"

……

"No!"

With the summons of Heifu, the next person in the city came out and waved at him: "Prince, the army is here!" ”

Heifu asked: "You are in charge of military rewards and punishments, and I ask you, is it against the law that the general does not behead the rebels?" ”

Jun Zhengcheng hesitated, but still responded: "It's indeed a violation of the law......

Heifu asked again: "If the soldier violates the law, the army can be punished, and the general violates the law, who can ask for it?" ”

Jun Zhengcheng knelt down: "The general is out on the expedition, and those who go up to the heavens and those who go down to the abyss can be controlled." The general violates the law, only the prison army can admonish, and only His Majesty can ask for it! ”

"So, no one is coming to punish me right now?"

Heifu smiled and shook his head, put his hands on his head, took off the crown of the prince, and handed it to Licang.

"As a general, take the lead in breaking the law without asking for it, dare not ask for it?"

Then he drew his sword sharply. In the exclamation of thousands of people, he raised his sword to the top of his head, and the sharp blade slashed through the knot, cutting off the round vertebrae whole!

The cloth in Lu Jia's mouth had already been taken away and loosened, and he, like everyone else, watched this scene dumbfounded.

Everyone never expected that Chang Nanhou would actually punish himself!

"Prince!"

Li Cang and Anpu couldn't stop him, so they only threw themselves at Heifu's feet, hugged his legs and cried.

"General!"

The guards that Sang Mu and Heifu had selected in Anlu fell to their knees in unison, their eyes red. They are short soldiers, and their duty is to protect the general, and they will not allow the general to suffer any damage and check the dead. On weekdays, even if the battle array rains down like arrows, and everyone holds shields in front, it will not let Heifu hurt half a hair.

But today, he is slashing himself, cutting his hair, but what stings is the dignity of the guards!

Heifu didn't care, his hair was scattered, and he held a thick bun in his hands, which he had raised for decades, and it was ruined......

At present, although there is no saying that "the skin of the body is not damaged by the parents", a thick head of hair is also a sign of a healthy human being.

In the Central Plains, both men and women advocate growing hair, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, men tie their hair to the top of their heads into a bun.

It can be said that the towering bun is the ** of the Central Plains man, exposed.

Whether this thing is small or large, flat or vertebrae, left or right, what crown is added to it, whether the crown is high or not, inlaid with pearls or gold, are all closely related to the class status of each person, if it is disorderly, but it will be criminally responsible.

Therefore, it is understandable that cutting hair as a very humiliating punishment can be understood, so in the Qin Dynasty, what kind of people would be punished?

Because this punishment is too insulting, ordinary ghost salaries, white rice, and subordinate concubines will not be imposed, and they can at most enjoy the "endurant" punishment of having their eyebrows and beards shaved......

For the seven or eight hundred rebels, seeing this scene, the sense of humiliation that had just been inflicted on them was gone, and it was replaced by moving.

For the rest of the thousands of soldiers, no one said anything about the whispers of "the prince is not trustworthy", and in their eyes, there was only a deep shock.

An incomparably noble Guan Neihou, a commander of the three armed forces who holds a lot of power, is actually willing to do this for a group of death row prisoners? Be willing to bear the humiliation with them!

When Heifu's voice sounded again, everyone stood up straight, not daring to miss a single person.

"Now, I'm the same as you, and I'm all the remnants of the sentence after breaking the law."

Heifu let go of his hand, and for many early mornings, his wife Ye carefully combed his hair in a bun, but now he has lost his dependence, and when it is blown by the wind, it has become thousands of microfilaments, floating everywhere.

"A violation of the law is a violation of the law, I will return my life, along with your life and death, to Xianyang, please make a decision on your majesty!"

"But before that, the second and third sons, and first turn this humiliation and shame into bravery, and live together in this Lingnan wilderness!" ”

"No!"

From the inside out, inside and outside Yangshan Pass, nearly 10,000 people knelt on one knee, and the sound of the mountain and tsunami sounded.

"The prince is righteous, faithful and benevolent!"

Lu Jia was also in the army, and after shouting, he found that he couldn't help crying.

The man has tears and does not flick, the Lu family admires Heifu's resolute self-punishment, and is also happy that he did not believe in the wrong person!

When Lu Jia wiped his tears and raised his head again, the sunset, which was as red as blood, was falling to the Yang Valley, and Heifu was standing at the head of the city, his figure as if he was one with the red sun.

Although he has no bun, he is in Lu Jia's eyes.

This general, however, is countless times taller than when he wore a crown in a bun!

"Gaoruo, clouds hanging from the sky!"
