The servants who were escorted out were so arrogant just now, and now they are so frightened! They can't help but be frightened!
Next to his feet was a corpse that had been cut in half. Blood was pouring out from the cut, and the hot blood had even spread to his ankles.
But they had no time to care. Compared to the death of their companions, they were obviously more concerned about their own life and death.
Seeing the knife still dripping with blood in General Zhao Kuo's hand, the hearts of several servants sank to the bottom, and they frantically asked Lord Pingyang for help.
"Your Majesty, please save me!"
"Your Majesty, I have been in the mansion for twenty years, and I have toiled hard even without merit!"
"Your Majesty..." These servants have obviously learned a lesson from the death of their companions: provoking is useless, Lord Pingyang has completely given up, and they can only play the emotional card, and perhaps arouse Lord Pingyang's compassion. heart of.
It's a pity that Mr. Pingyang, who has already taken a step back, is not willing to offend them for the sake of them who are like ants.
Where is the "crazy" Zhao Kuo! In the eyes of Lord Pingyang, these people are just like the servants they were at the beginning.
It's nothing more than a few more ants dying. As long as he doesn't hurt his roots, he will still be the Pingyang Lord respected by everyone after returning to Handan.
Turning his face, Pingyang Jun didn't want to take another look at them, let alone plead for them. Finally, someone couldn't help but say the words: "Your Majesty, we all respect your Majesty's orders!" After saying this, everyone looked at Pingyang Jun, even Zhao Kuo also wielded his long sword and looked at Lord Pingyang quietly.
After waiting for so long, Zhao Kuo did not announce the decision to deal with it. He was waiting for this moment - to completely drag Pingyang Jun into the water.
Of course, if Lord Pingyang burst out at this time: "This is all my order. If you are guilty, it is all my fault. If you want to be punished, I will punish you." It would make it difficult for Zhao Kuo.
After all, Zhao Kuo is obviously not qualified to punish Lord Pingyang, but if he is not punished and the culprit is spared, what will happen to the others?
How can this military power be maintained? It can be said that Zhao Kuo's understanding of Pingyang Jun is almost certain that Pingyang Jun does not dare and will not take responsibility.
Since you dare not take responsibility, then things will be easier to handle! You know, in the eyes of all the soldiers, you, Lord Pingyang, represent the court and the King of Zhao!
It is not a trivial matter for a few servants to be insecure, but the key is to let the generals see clearly in the court, whether the Gong Gong princes dare to do what they dare or not, and how they turn their backs on others.
The key is to make all the soldiers lose their respect for the court and their blind obedience to the king's orders, and instead respect and obey the military law!
If we say that killing that servant just now can be regarded as an explanation to the soldiers, it can be regarded as re-establishing the power of the general's law.
So now, the wave of commotion caused is to tear the face of Lord Pingyang, break the aura of the Handan court, and pull the court and King Zhao down from the position of aloof gods.
And when one god is broken, another god will naturally take its place. What Zhao Kuo brings to the soldiers will no longer be limited to strict military laws, but the army's supreme authority and pride. The invincible military spirit will also subtly penetrate into the hearts of every soldier.
This is what Zhao Kuo really wants to do. And all of this requires the cooperation of Pingyang Jun. Fortunately, Lord Pingyang did not disappoint Zhao Kuo.
The blushing Pingyang Lord immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up! This matter has nothing to do with me! General, please deal with it as soon as possible. I have nothing to say." This dry answer angered all the soldiers present. Their teeth are cold—is this the court they have always been loyal to?
Can’t you even do the basic thing of daring to act? Who didn't hear just now that it was you, Lord Pingyang, who gave the order to be loosened?
I can shirk it in front of so many people. If the war doesn't go well in the future, will all the responsibility be put on Qiu Ba?
Some things are nothing if not put on the table. Once they are put on the table, you will be unable to stop them! There are also some things that, if you think about them carefully, will only lead to extreme panic or even frustration.
There are some more things that I can't help but compare. Look at Pingyang Jun, who is dressed in rich clothes, and then look at Zhao Kuo, whose upper body is naked, and even his back is dripping with blood. Everyone has to sigh, how can there be such a gap between people? How big?
! Instead of believing these high-sounding so-called
"Sir," why don't you follow the general's orders and
"Military law" is the rope, and victory is the thought. Unknowingly, the belief that Zhao Kuo wanted had taken root in the hearts of the soldiers and slowly sprouted.
Zhao Kuo almost laughed out loud after hearing Pingyang Jun's words. Sure enough, a pig opponent is worth thousands of good teammates.
However, the more you try to distance yourself from the relationship, the less I can let your idea succeed. Zhao Kuo looked at the people being escorted indifferently, then glanced at Pingyang Jun disdainfully, revealing a sarcastic smile.
Then he calmly ordered: "In that case, I give you this general's order: Go!"
"Which arm touches the rope, go to that one, both hands touch, both hands go!" Just when everyone was confused, the cold voice sounded again, explaining his order.
That's right, Zhao Kuo did not kill the servants again, but ordered the servants' hands that touched the rope to be cut off.
There are obviously many benefits to doing this. The most obvious one is its symbolic meaning: whoever dares to touch the criterion of military law will have his or her hand broken, and the person who touches the person will die; secondly, different sentencings are given in different situations, which can better reflect the rationality of military law: those who despise military law Death occurs, and those affected are injured.
Finally, the most obscure, but most important thing is: Zhao Kuo needs these people alive. The survival of these people will not only be the best declaration of military discipline and law, but also become a shame to Lord Pingyang and even the entire Handan court.
As long as these few people are alive, or still alive with broken arms, they are a collection of living stories. Curious people will take the initiative to pursue the stories behind them, and behind the stories is the incompetence and incompetence of Pingyang Jun and the entire Handan court. Shameless.
The servants who heard this didn't know whether to be grateful that they didn't have to die, or to be sad that they were about to lose their hands.
Of course, once their hand is broken, even the left hand, their life will not be easy from now on. In this era, no one will be willing to hire a disabled person with a broken hand, and even for plowing, people with one hand will have a lot less labor. .
Of course, if Lord Pingyang is willing to raise them, it would be a good solution. It can even weaken the adverse impact of this incident on itself to a certain extent.
But does Pingyang Jun have such a broad mind and wisdom? The answer is obvious...
