Chapter 233: Blessings and Misfortunes
Zhao Ta's words were amazing, and the sergeant who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to hold the two of them and walked out, "Father save me..."Liu Guangshi struggled to twist his body, turned his head and shouted to Liu Yanqing, although Yao Pingzhong tried his best to keep calm and wanted to be the last hero in his life, but the beads of sweat on his forehead and his trembling lips betrayed, obviously he didn't want to die.
"The prince left people under the knife, I am the mastermind of this matter, it is not the business of the young general, if you want to cut off my head..." Broke free of control and rushed in.
"Slow, let him get up and talk, ask clearly!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and motioned for the two guards to let go of the man, "You guys actually let the prisoners escape and rush into the handsome hall, I don't need to say what punishment you should receive, right?" ”
"My subordinates understand!" The sergeants of several law enforcement teams let go of the man who rushed in and pulled him up, and the sergeant at the head saluted Zhao Ta, and then walked out of the hall with a few companions without hesitation, and after a while, there was a muffled sound of sticks hitting meat and the suppressed screams of the tortured people in the courtyard.
"Poor supervision has led to the escape of prisoners, and eighty of the leading rods should be led, but the number of those caught in time has been halved, and the five sergeants of the prisoner corps have completed their sentences. Please check the injury! "Several sergeants of the law enforcement team have been sentenced. was carried back to Shuaitang, and Zhao Yi came out of the list.
Many of the people in the hall were born from the soldiers who didn't think that Liu Guangshi and Zhao Ta were born with the golden key, and most of them climbed to today's status step by step, and they inevitably suffered from the military stick, of course, they can see at a glance whether they are cheating or not. Although the few loyal soldiers in front of him who had just been tortured did not make a sound, their faces were pale, there was blood on their lips, their pants were torn, and their pants were bloodily sticking to their bodies. The torturer showed no mercy!
The people of the Hedong Army just frowned, and there were no strange expressions, indicating that they were used to it, while the expressions of the generals of the Shaanxi Army were a little more complicated. These sergeants only made a small mistake, and there were no consequences, but they were beaten lightly, and the sergeants seemed to be willing to suffer again... All this shows that the law and discipline in the loyal and brave army are strict, and the law is like a mountain, and the prince's sentence of 'beheading' seems to be more than just a simple talk.
"The prince spared the last general, and the last general is willing to make meritorious service to the crime!" Liu Guangshi was even more frightened in his eyes, extremely frightened, and knelt down on his knees and kowtowed.
"Phew, what a doorman. The head falls to the ground but the bowl has a big scar, beg for a bird's mercy! Although the guy who had just broken into the handsome hall was pressed to the ground at this time, he tried his best to raise his head and spat at Liu Guangshi, who was kneeling in front of him, and said disdainfully.
"Don't say it again, this crime is not something that your team can withstand, if you hadn't dragged me to hunt some 'hunting', I wouldn't have ended up like this, you would have been miserable!"
"Hehe..." Zhao Ta shook his head at the various performances of the three people, smiled and said nothing, it seems that what the book says is true. This time you will know the truth of the way.
Historical records record that although Liu Guangshi was ranked among the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" and founded the Huaixi Army, he was a little ordinary, timid and afraid of death, and often retreated without a fight. And he has always been self-respecting. Whenever they were ordered to move to the front line, most of them tried to retreat without being edicted. And Liu Guangshi is not strict in governing the army. Many rogues and rebels were willing to join as subordinates, and became one of the largest armies in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. He often took the opportunity to falsely report the number of troops and occupy more military expenses, but when he was fighting, he often did not go to the front line in person but sat in the rear, so that he could escape if necessary. …,
Chuzhou was surrounded by the Jin army for more than 100 days, and Zhao Gou personally wrote five times to ask Liu Guangshi to rescue Chuzhou, but Liu Guangshi didn't go, but sent Wang De and Li Qiong to send light soldiers. Later, Chuzhou was really broken by the Jin army. Liu Guangshi also asked to act cheaply, probably because he wanted to come up with a trick of "the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be granted", which of course could not be allowed by Zhao Gou. When the puppet Qi invaded the south, because Gaozong reluctantly stayed on the front line because of the threat of death, he relied on his subordinates Wang De and others to fight, and he was famous. In October of the sixth year of Shaoxing, the puppet Qi sent troops to the south to attack, and Liu Guangshi fled south in a hurry. When the ruling Zhang Jun heard the news, he rode a horse to Quarry Rock, and ordered that one person who crossed the river should be beheaded, and Liu Guangshi was forced to stop fleeing south, and he didn't know how he got into a high position.
Han Shizhong doesn't say anything else, this kind of courage and courage is indeed consistent with the historical records. After the Jingkang Incident, he was ordered to lead his troops to rush to Zhao County to help the general Wang Yuan, the Jin soldiers arrived, the offensive was fierce, the food was exhausted, and his subordinates persuaded Shizhong to break through the siege and leave, but he did not allow it. In the middle of the night, it snowed heavily, and he ordered 300 soldiers to raid the enemy camp, causing the enemy army to chaos and attack each other. When Zhao Gou was in Jeju, the Jin soldiers were so large that there were tens of thousands of horses, and his subordinates were only 1,000 people.
Later, there was the well-known Great War Huang Tiandang, which lasted 48 days, and he and his daughter-in-law Liang Hongyu beat the drum to block the Jin soldiers, so that the Jin Wushu army could not take the road to the north. Wushu pleaded with him, but Han Shizhong said: "Return my two palaces, and restore my frontier soldiers, then you will be complete." The vultures were speechless. In this battle, Shizhong fought against 100,000 gold soldiers with 8,000 soldiers, which is well-deserved in the annals of history, and it is also consistent with his character of daring to challenge Lingzhou City with 100 soldiers.
"Yao Pingzhong seems to be in vain, what can the three armies of Yongguan do, as a general, but he does not take responsibility, he only knows how to shirk when he does something wrong, it is no wonder that after he failed to attack the camp under Bianliang City in the future, in order to escape responsibility, he left the army and fled alone, and he dared to show up in the world when he was over eighty, in contrast, this Han Shizhong is a hero, but he was born from the grassroots and no one appreciated him, so he has been mixed for so many years and has made countless meritorious contributions, so he has mixed up with a team." Thinking of this, Zhao Ta pointed to Han Shizhong, who was pressed to the ground, and said: "You say that you are the mastermind, then you have to take the blame for him, but you have to lose your head, you still have to think about it!" ”
"There's nothing to think about, isn't it just to cut off the head, the head will grow on my neck, just take it!" Han Shizhong raised his head with great effort and said, "However, I don't want to die under the sword of my own people, please let me go and fight the Xixia people desperately and die on the battlefield!" ”
"Lord Wang, this person's surname is Han Shizhong, although he is only a team leader, he is a fierce general, he once climbed the enemy city alone, killed the enemy general, and asked the prince to spare his life and make meritorious service!" Yao Gu saw that Han Shizhong was guilty of his son, and if he didn't speak, he wouldn't be able to be a man, so he came out and said.
"Hmph, Han Shizhong, I've heard of his brave name, but there is never a shortage of fierce generals in our army, and we don't need fierce generals who do not follow military discipline!" Zhao Ta stepped down from the seat and let Han Shizhong go, and the two personal soldiers pulled him up, but they still hugged his shoulders to prevent him from hurting people.
"Lord Wang, now that the war is imminent, it's always good to have one more person, and besides, it's bad luck to kill the generals in battle, so please ask the Lord to bypass them!" Liu Yanqing was annoyed in his heart, someone else's son was guilty, and his son could only be stabbed, but the situation forced him to do so.
"Lord Wang, what Liu Jingluo said is right, it is ominous to be killed in battle, it is better to leave him useful as a national merit!" At this time, Qin Feng also came out to intercede, after all, they have been in the northwest for many years, and they are fellow villagers, so it is not easy to save face.
"Please take back your fate and let them make meritorious contributions!" At this time, two more people came out to intercede, and Zhao Ta saw that it was Xin Zongxing and Yang Weizhong, who were also rising stars in the Northwest Army. …,
"Alas, military discipline is like a mountain, if everyone in the army is like them, how will this king command the three armies, you don't make this king embarrassed!" Zhao Ta shook his head and said with a sigh.
"Please spare them, the last general will strictly restrain his subordinates, abide by the commander's order, everything is based on the prince's horse, and never dare to violate the military order again!" Liu Guangshi saw the opportunity quickly, this was the prince forcing them to submit, and he had to bow his head for the sake of his son.
"Everything is up to the prince, and I will never dare to violate military discipline again!" Yao Gu also hurriedly made a guarantee.
"Please spare them, we are willing to vouch!" The Shaanxi army saw that the two bosses were soft, and they also started to be favorable, and they all came out of the queue.
"Lord Wang, the military law is strict, and there are exceptions, these three people are all useful talents, it's a pity to behead them now, please forgive them!" Zhao Ren saw that the prince smacked his teeth, but he didn't speak, and he immediately understood in his heart that the prince didn't want to kill them, he just wanted to kill the arrogance of the proud generals of the Shaanxi Army, and now wait for himself to hand over the ladder, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to everyone in the Hedong Army.
"Please be gracious!" When everyone in the loyal army saw Zhao Ren starting, they all understood, and they stepped forward to plead for mercy.
"Well, what are you doing here? That's it, that's it..."Zhao Ta looked at the generals with a look of embarrassment and said, "Zhao Yi, how to deal with this in the military law, there is a workaround!" ”
"Lord Yu, if a sergeant violates military law and is convicted, he can be deducted for his military merits, and if he has no merit, he can be sent to the dead soldier's camp to make meritorious service, and he will be the first in wartime to forgive his crimes!" Zhao Yi finally waited for the signal sent by the prince, and thought about it.
"Alright then, it's up to you!" Zhao Ta sighed again and said, "The death penalty is temporarily exempted, and it is difficult to escape the crime, the lord will send each of them forty military sticks, and the rest of the people will wait for twenty military sticks, all of which will be sent to the punishment camp, and when they attack Lingzhou City, they will go to the city as a striker, and then the king will personally go to cheer for them, if they make great contributions, not only will they be exempted from capital crimes, but they can also be rewarded according to the law, if they want to be afraid of the battle, the king will also behead them with his own hands!" ”
"Thank you for not killing!" After listening to this, everyone thanked them in unison, but only one person knew the truth in their hearts, Yao Pingzhong and the three of them escaped death, they were happy, but Liu Yanqing and Yao Gu did not have the slightest joy, the two of them kept their son, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise their heads in front of this kid in the future...
