Lu Wu Qiutong rode in front, Meilan Zhuju was one horse behind, and behind them were more than a dozen prisoners rescued from the prison of the inspection camp.
Everyone circled around the surrender.
"Husband, how are you going to recruit these surrendered troops?" Qiu Tong asked.
According to the plan, we should find a way to collect the surrendered troops. But no one has ever done this kind of thing before and has little experience.
It is not easy to collect surrendered troops.
It would be easy to simply make a forced landing, but it would be difficult to make these surrendered soldiers form an army and work hard for their husbands.
In Qiutong's view, her husband/young master is brave when it comes to bravery, but in terms of resourcefulness, he is only an average person. However, his martial arts skills are too strong, so his clever ideas often lead to surprises. magical effect.
In the past, when we lived near Songjing, we saw a child with broken legs crawling on the roadside begging, so we thought there must be someone behind it.
As a result, on the second night, he led his sisters to the door and destroyed the Paihua Gang.
But now the young master/husband is going to confront the Chu State. Not to mention these Chu soldiers, even the prisoners they rescued from the patrol camp prison may not be willing to follow them - this is not a gang fight, but a confrontation. An extremely powerful country.
The signatures of military strategists and generals are indeed useful, but that also depends on who the opponent is. With a great country like Chu as the enemy, the signatures of military strategists and generals may not be easy to use.
"This is simple. I will pick out all the officers from the surrendering troops later, and then order each soldier to go up and chop the officers once. I will leave a few officers alive, so that the surrendering troops will have no way to retreat, so they can only follow me." Lu Wu said.
This vicious method of submitting a petition is not unusual in online novels, and it works very quickly. The larger the organization is, the more effective it is - even if there are extenuating circumstances, national laws cannot tolerate it. these people.
On the other hand, the grassroots methods of winning people's hearts with benevolence, justice and wealth are often unreliable.
When Lu Wu said this, he did not lower his voice.
The faces of the surrendered soldiers were pale, and even the faces of the prisoner army were not very good-looking.
Everyone likes a wise and kind leader, but such a vicious and mean leader is naturally unpopular.
However, the leaders who are usually betrayed by their subordinates are kind-hearted leaders; on the other hand, the vicious and mean leaders are more likely to be defeated by others than betrayed by others.
Others were just pale, but Feng Yuncheng's face turned green.
Just now Lu Wu entered the building and he was almost killed.
Fortunately, he was not wearing armor at the time and was far away from the killing god, so he survived.
Feng Yuncheng huddled in the corner and watched five of his soldiers being killed like melons and vegetables.
The martial arts skills of each of these five soldiers were more than three to five times higher than his, but under the green dragon halberd, they were no different from straw targets.
Now that I have gotten to this point, my misfortune has not come to an end yet!
"Come here, separate these fifty soldiers into groups, and take turns to identify the corps commanders and officers in other groups. If more than three people are omitted, the whole group will be beheaded!" Lu Wu shouted.
Feng Yuncheng no longer took any chances - this method was too immoral.
There are as many as five thousand people in the Chu army's water camp. It is nonsense to say that anyone can know all the officers above the corps commander. But with fifty people complementing each other, there will definitely not be too many fish slipping through the net.
And if anyone is missed, he, the great steward of the water village, will never be missed.
Feng Yuncheng did not dare to stand up, but squatted on the ground and shouted: "General Lu, Sir General, the villain has surrendered. The villain has a way to ensure that everyone is loyal to you without killing like this!"
"Well, let him come over and talk." Lu Wu said.
Feng Yuncheng reluctantly puffed out his chest and looked confident, but his legs couldn't help but tremble a little. Fortunately, he didn't show any timidity under the cover of his pants.
"General Lu, my surname is Feng, I am Xingxing, and I have been given the post of commander of the water village. God has a good heart. General Lu just hopes to cut off the retreat of these brothers. In fact, there is no need to kill like this."
Feng Yuncheng expressed his point of view in one breath, swallowed his saliva to relieve his dry mouth, and then continued: "General Lu is one of the best military strategists in the world. His reputation is only among Wu and Chu. Sooner or later, he will become famous all over the world. Killing and surrendering soldiers will lead to the reputation of cruelty, which is somewhat disadvantageous."
"I have a thought. The state of Chu has a national law: those who insult the monarch will have their knees cut off by civilians, and one arm will be cut off if they are a senior official. General Lu can order his soldiers to insult the monarch and press his fingerprints, which is enough to cut off the retreat of these soldiers."
Feng Yuncheng tried his best to save his own life.
Chu State does have this law, but the law is not strictly enforced.
As long as you are not so naive that you insult the king in public - and there must be an authority figure to witness - who can confirm whether you insulted the king or not?
Those who are really convicted under this law have actually offended people in other ways.
Feng Yuncheng could be sure that as long as he could get out alive, even if he had his signature and fingerprints, he could also find a way to explain himself and get rid of this crime that looked serious but was not actually very serious.
Especially since he saved the lives of so many surrendered soldiers, even if he is convicted in the future, he will still have some reasons to defend himself.
"Oh, Chu State still has this law?" Lu Wu asked.
He did not look at Feng Yuncheng, but at the prisoners who were rescued from the inspection camp.
These people were all traveling merchants. Although most of them were rough people, there were also some who were literate - otherwise they wouldn't be able to settle accounts.
"General, the Chu State has this law. In the past, Zhao Kong, the Zuo Situ of the Chu State, was sentenced to the 'Eight Disputes' for this crime and was killed by his tribe in the wilderness of Chengdu." A person flashed out from behind Yulan. It was the second brother of the boss Ying who said.
(In this era, it is emphasized that "the punishment is not for the officials". If the eight types of nobles above the officials commit crimes, the general judicial organs have no power to try them and must petition the king for a ruling.
After being convicted, the criminal method of mutilation is not used, but the person is first chosen or persuaded to commit suicide to strengthen the integrity of the ministers; if the nobles with the same surname are guilty, they will be executed by the family and secretly assassinated in the countryside (see "Zhou Li·Dianshi")
"Have you read the laws of Chu?" Lu Wu lowered his head and asked.
"I read it in my spare time," the man replied with his hands in hand.
"What other books have you read? Where did you study?" Lu Wu asked again.
There are not many people who can study the law specifically, especially not the law of their own country.
This man was imprisoned in the inspection camp prison. His accent sounded like he was from the Wu Kingdom, but he had the opportunity to study the laws of the Chu Kingdom. He obviously had some background.
"I once studied under Yu Chi, an elder from the King Wu Sect, and was taught books such as "Sun Tzu", "Yin Fu Jing", and "Yun Ji Seven Signs", but I am stupid and have not yet learned the true biography." The man lowered his head. He replied, his tone extremely candid.
The true disciples of the Wangwu Sect are no small feats. Each of the divine dragons has its head but not its tail. In the eyes of many people, they are almost like living gods.
