Chapter 689: Rewards and Punishments Are Clear
Ma Chao endured the pain in his heart, frowned and rubbed his temples: The matter in front of him is probably the most troublesome decision he has faced since he took power. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba were loyal to each other, and Ma Chao was quite moved in his heart. However, the military law is ruthless, and the military authority is supreme, if it is easy to expose it yourself, how will the Ma family stand in the future?
But if he is punished too severely, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are the famous generals they rely on. After this incident, he was even more dedicated to the humerus of the Ma family. And their loyalty and righteousness are also what the Ma family needs to commend and promote. Reasonably, it seems that none of the three should be punished too severely.
And if the punishment of the three is still annoying, then the disposal of Lu Qiling is even more annoying, and there is no cure: Lu Qiling is entrusted to him by Lu Bu and regarded as the cornerstone of the cooperation between the two alliances, and it is impossible for him to really kill her. Before, under anger, one wrong step, one wrong step.
At this time, it is very difficult and headache to save it: Lu Qiling trespassed into the military and ignored the Ma family's military law, which is one of them; despised the status of the head of the Ma family, and even intended to assassinate Ma Chao, which was the second; forced Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba to defect from the Ma family, and there was even a suspicion of forcing the three to commit suicide, which is the third.
Of these three crimes, only the first one is less culpable, and the remaining two are serious crimes that can cause death. But this Lu Qiling can't be killed at all!
Speaking of which, it's still my own fault. If he had informed her of Lu Bu's entrustment to Lu Qiling as soon as possible, he would have eliminated today's hidden dangers. However, today's big mistake has been made, and Ma Chao can only make up for today's big mistake by trying his best to make a fair ruling.
As a result, Ma Chao got up, glanced at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun leisurely, turned his back, and said coldly: "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun." Today's events, can you be convicted?! ”
After all, Lu Qiling didn't understand the laws of the Ma family, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. I want Zhang Liao to have more than 6,000 Yanbei cavalry raid Wancheng victory, and Xu Huang single-handedly greeted Cai Mao, and the momentum of the big strong horse family. And Gao Shun went to Nanyang County, although he did not gain much in the war, but the resettlement of the victims was all in Gao Shun's overall control, and he tried his best to mediate, and his credit to the entire Ma family was no less than that of attacking a county.
What the two of them did, the ancient famous generals are nothing more than that. Today's incident, although it seems serious, but as a result, no one died, let alone the slightest loss: could it be that Ma Chao wanted to erase the merits of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun because he injured his hands?
Lu Qiling looked around in amazement, and found that all the strategists were not surprised, and she felt even more strange. At the same time, there was a burst of fear in my heart that I had never felt before: Could it be? This time, the disaster I caused was really monstrous and difficult to recover.
On the other hand, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were still expressionless at this time, and after listening to Ma Chao's questioning, Gao Shun first lowered his head and said: "Lord, today's matter, the lord has done his best, and his subordinates have nothing to say." ”
"The Lord cut his hands to save him, which is the grace of life reconstruction. Liao has nothing to say, but please wait and see in the future that Liao will serve the Ma family wholeheartedly! Zhang Liao then spoke, and between he spoke, his burly body was already shaky.
After Ma Chao heard this, he turned around suddenly and said loudly, "Okay!" Just admit the sin of disrupting the military council! Come on, take down the two of them, and each of them will be heavily punished with twenty military sticks! ”
When Lu Qiling heard this, her heart suddenly realized. It turned out that Ma Chao was not blaming Zhang Liao and Gao Shun for defending themselves, but for punishing the two for disrupting the military discussion: this crime can be big or small. At least, Lu Qiling knew that her father had killed soldiers who disrupted his military discussions on the spot several times.
Lu Qiling looked at Zhang Liao and Gao Shun whose foreheads were still bleeding, and couldn't help but want to plead with Ma Chao. But thinking that Ma Chao's conviction was already very light, and the culprit was himself........ Moreover, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at them at this time, and there was a deep sense of stopping, Lu Qiling opened her mouth in a panic, but did not say a word.
In the silence, the second will be pressed down and reprimanded with a cane, and only the sound of "fluttering" and "fluttering" will be heard.
Hearing Chen Haojie count to twenty, Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Pick it up." ”
Then, he looked at the second general and laughed, and his laughter was full of joy: "Wenyuan's light attack on Wancheng and the fact that he was even more fearful with Gongming's might have never dared or forgotten. The meticulous and thoughtful resettlement of the victims in Gaoping's Beinanyang County shows the all-round ability of civil and military personnel. I have returned to Chang'an today, and when the court discusses tomorrow, I will be rewarded for my meritorious deeds! ”
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked up in disbelief and said, "Lord........ If there are two more hearts in the future, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”
Ma Chao shook his hand and said: "You don't need to say much, although it is not the two of you who disrupted the military discussion today, although it is not intentional for the two of you, but it is a matter of course to punish if you have done it." Ran Wenyuan strategized Wancheng, destroyed the enemy's courage, and made my Ma family's martial arts great. Gaoping North unified the overall situation, stabilized the victims, and won a great victory in civil governance, which is a great achievement, and should be rewarded! Meritorious service should be rewarded, and there must be punishment for mistakes, the military regulations of the Ma family have always been like this. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Chao gently patted the shoulders of the two with a painful hand, and said sincerely: "Wen Yuan, Gao Shun's loyalty and righteousness, sacrificing their lives to all martial virtues, super sincere admiration." The generals of the Ma family, if they are all like two people, why worry about it? ! ”
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were enthusiastic after hearing this, and they all struggled to grab a step and said loudly: "Lord........!" ”
"Needless to say," Ma Chao saw that the two of them were already emotional, and hurriedly interrupted the two and said to the guards: "Quickly help the two generals to go down to rest." ”
But after Zhang Liao and Gao Shun glanced at each other, their eyes were full of hesitation. Seeing this, Ma Chao naturally knew what the two were worried about, and said to Chen Haojie: "Invite the Huashen Doctor Gao apprentice here, the two generals can't see how Chao deals with Lu Qiling, so they won't go back with peace of mind........
And Lu Qiling secretly admired Ma Chao's methods before, with clear rewards and punishments, no wonder he could make a strong man die. This, to be honest, is indeed inferior to my father. However, when she heard Ma Chao say about dealing with herself, Lu Qiling was shocked for a while: today's matter, she was really afraid afterwards. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were loyal and righteous, but just because they disrupted the military discussion, they exchanged for a military stick. And ........ yourself
Sure enough, at this time, Ma Chao had already walked towards him with a gloomy face. And Lu Qiling looked at the eyes of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and all the strategists and guards in the audience, she who had been murderous like a mustard, she actually felt really scared at this time, her legs involuntarily began to tremble, and she stepped back slightly........
"Lu Qiling, you came to disrupt my Ma family's military discussion; second, to persecute my Ma general; Sanlai also intended to assassinate me. Can you admit these three sins?! Ma Chao stood ten steps away from Lu Qiling, and said in a cold tone!
"I, I'm ........" Under Ma Chao's frosty gaze, Lu Qiling was distracted, stumbling and saying, "I didn't think that things would be like this........"
"Yes, you didn't think about it!" Ma Chao was furious when he heard this, took a few steps closer, and reprimanded loudly: "You haven't thought about it, why can't the world be included in the hands of your Lu family?" Haven't you thought about why you, Lu Qiling, became a prisoner of the Ma family? And you never thought about why your father Lu Bu would entrust you to me, and told you not to know his whereabouts, in exchange for a hero to fight on the battlefield! Speaking of this, Ma Chao angrily took out Lu Bu's blood letter from his arms and threw it to Lu Qiling!
Lu Qiling suddenly heard this shocking secret, and heard that her father actually entrusted herself to Ma Chao. couldn't help but burst into tears, and picked up the bloody letter on the ground in disbelief, and opened it tremblingly to read. And Zhang Liao and Gao Shun only got the news today, and they were shocked, and they didn't even realize that Yao Yi and Xu Pu were treating their injuries.
When the strategists heard the shocking news, they were also like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they looked at each other a few times. Especially the old fox Jia Xu, his eyes narrowed slightly: No wonder the lord dares to manipulate Lu Bu and Cao Cao with confidence, it turns out that between the lord and Lu Bu, there is still a friendship between the lord and Lu Bu? ! ........ And presumably this Lu Qiling is the key to maintaining the relationship between the lord and Lu Bu, right?
