"General..."
Seeing that Fang Jie had really killed him, Lei Hu clenched his fists and said: "General Mingjian, they did drink some wine in my tent yesterday, but they couldn't hold back the temptation for a while, the crime is not to die... Big Under the rule of the general, how could it be possible for someone to form a clique for private interests, and hope that the general will spare them and leave their lives to serve the country. Seeing that they are about to go north to hunt down thieves, wouldn't it be better to leave their lives to kill the enemy?"
Fang Jie gave Lei Hu a cold look and asked, "Are you reminding me that I missed one person?"
Lei Hu was startled, and his body trembled slightly, but was forced to take a step back by Fang Jie's gaze.
"The humble post just feels that the general's heavy punishment will make the people below resent, and it is for the sake of the general."
"Then I have to thank you."
Fang Jie said calmly: "Do you know why I punished them but not you?"
"Humble job... I don't know the humble job."
"The first is because you are the captain of the sixth-rank Zhechong. According to the military law of the Sui Dynasty, I am only one level higher than you and have no right to execute you directly. I need to ask for instructions. The second is because your military rank of the sixth-rank is accumulated by yourself. I got it from the military exploits, those real credits make me feel sad and sad."
He waved his hand and said, "Go see General Luo by yourself. I won't ask how he will deal with you. Tell yourself what mistakes you made. I have only led the army for 20 days. I don't want anyone to scold me behind my back." To eliminate dissidents, you started killing people. It took you more than ten years to sit in this position. It is not easy, so you can do it yourself."
"you… "
Lei Hu was stunned, and couldn't help raising his head and said loudly: "Don't bully people too much."
Fang Jie sneered: "You say I'm deceiving too much? I said on the first day I arrived at Shanziying that I would try to make myself trust each of you unconditionally. I thought you would try to trust each other. Me. But what did you do behind your back for the past twenty days? Don’t forget what I do. In Fangu, I was a scout and a horse thief with a radius of hundreds of miles. You can’t hide anything from me. In the capital, I was ordered to thoroughly investigate how many people were arrested in Prince Yi's treason case, and you should have heard about it."
"I don't want to say more about the other things, I just want to say one thing to you. If I don't want to die...how can I die so easily?"
Lei Hu's shoulders trembled, he looked at Fang Jie and wanted to say something but couldn't find any words. Under the light of the torch, this handsome young general finally revealed his ferocious face. Under the cover of delicate appearance, the cold and cruel heart like Yasha finally emerged.
At this moment, Lei Hu began to regret, regretting why he should not be reconciled
Is my future, which I spent more than ten years in exchange for with countless blood and sweat, ruined just because of this difference in thinking
He wanted to justify, to redeem.
But Fang Xie's eyes were too cold, as cold as a blade.
The wailing sound from a distance made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the sound of the army stick hitting those under him seemed to hit his heart at the same time, which was as painful as a knife. Just last night, those people were still discussing with him how to test Fang Jie's bottom line in the next step, but after more than an hour, Fang Jie's bottom line was already in front of his eyes. How unwise it is to touch other people's bottom line.
He froze in place, sweating profusely.
Fang Jie turned his eyes away from Lei Hu's body, and watched Fei Yupao holding down those officers in the distance to carry out his execution. The two officers who didn't come to Dianmao early yesterday morning passed out before taking twenty blows, but they woke up from the pain not long after. There was no sympathy in the flying fish robe that carried out the execution, and every blow of the stick was full of force. At forty strokes, one of them died because the viscera was damaged by the force of the stick. The other didn't make it to fifty army sticks, and died with his eyes turned up.
After the two were killed, Fei Yupao pressed the other lieutenants and brigade leaders on the bench. Among these people, it was clear who was Lei Hu's confidant and who was secretly slandering Fang Jie Fei Yupao. It's just that the people who were late because of the emergency assembly tonight were not beaten too hard by the Ten Army sticks. Seeing the blood and flesh flying all over the place, in fact, the red wounds would be better if they rested for a while. As for Lei Hu's cronies, the people in Feiyupao used their internal strength during the execution, and they could be killed directly with less than twenty army sticks.
Fifteen minutes later, the three school lieutenants and five brigade leaders who secretly opposed Fang Jie on weekdays were killed with sticks. None of the other latecomers were left behind, and they were all dealt with strictly in accordance with military law, and they were beaten with a stick.
After dozens of people were beaten, Fang Jie walked up to the high platform slowly, looked at the trembling soldiers of the Shanziying, and said after a moment of silence: "I told you, if there is no trust between the soldiers and the general, then there will be no trust between the soldiers and the general." There is a dead end on the battlefield. A plate of loose sand cannot be turned into a horizontal knife that can kill the enemy, a gust of wind can blow it away. I also told you that I am afraid of death, so I will try to trust you."
"But you let me down... I don't want to die on the battlefield. I want to kill more enemies and do more meritorious deeds, so in order not to be killed by the enemy, I can only kill those who make this team lose its cohesion first. If You think I'm cruel, why don't you touch your heart and ask yourself, what have you done in the past 20 days?! I am tolerant to you because you are all well-trained soldiers, and you don't need me to restrain you too much What. But now it seems that I overestimated you."
"I am a very direct and realistic person. Whoever treats me well, I treat others well, so good that I have no regrets. But whoever targets me and wants me to die, I must first kill someone with a knife. If you I feel that I have killed few people today, so I can continue to test, under the military law of the Sui Dynasty, no one cares how many people I kill, including the general!"
"If you can't sleep after you go back today, just think about what to do in the future. My requirements are not high, and it is enough to be a qualified soldier like you used to. I didn't want you to support me sincerely, because I didn't That qualification. But you can not support me, but you can’t question and disobey my military order. As long as I am in Shanziying for one day, you must obey unconditionally.”
His eyes swept across the audience, paused for a moment and announced the dissolution.
The soldiers left in silence, no one spoke. When they passed by those bloody corpses, no one dared to look at them. The army stick was so ruthless that they felt frightened from the bottom of their hearts. The contrast between the front and back of this young master Fang is too great, so the killing effect is shocking enough.
For the first 20 days, he ignored the affairs of Shanziying and let Lei Hu and others do their jobs. Just when the soldiers thought that Mr. Fang was just an embroidered pillow, he bared his fangs. In one breath, three school lieutenants and five brigade leaders were killed, and half of the officers of the Shanzi Battalion died.
For the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion, many people will suffer from insomnia tonight.
…
…
Fang Jie walked back with the people, and when he passed by Lei Hu's side, his footsteps paused. Lei Hu subconsciously raised his head to look at Fang Jie, and asked with trembling lips, "Did you want to kill us from the beginning?"
Fang Jie didn't answer, but looked at him calmly.
"If you want to control Shanziying, you must kill us. If we don't die, it will be difficult for you to make this team completely belong to you. You wanted to kill us from the beginning, so what you showed at the beginning Connivance is intentional, right? You just wait for us to make mistakes, and then find an opportunity to strike! You are a devil, you are not human!"
Lei Hu questioned with a hoarse voice, his eyes were already red.
"If you don't make mistakes, what excuse can I use to kill you?"
Fang asked.
Lei Hu's body shook violently, not knowing how to answer.
That's right... Even if Fang Xie had murderous intentions from the beginning, if he and the officers under him didn't test him and touch his bottom line, but behaved in a proper manner... Even if Fang Xie wanted to kill someone, would he have any excuse to kill him? ? From the very beginning, Fang Jie expected that he would not be reconciled and would try to take back his rights. He just waited...waiting for his neck to hit the blade in his hand.
"You're a devil..."
he said tremblingly.
"In order to control this team, you deliberately made me feel that you would not dare to provoke us, you deliberately condoned and even tempted us to make mistakes... why is your heart so vicious!"
Fang Jie shook his head: "Nothing I said to you on the first day at Shanziying was false. If you accept me, then I will treat you like brothers. That's what I did when I was in Fangu. Yes, it is also true that whoever treats me well, I will treat them twice as well. You say that I am a devil, why don’t you ask yourself why did you grow a devil in your heart? I didn’t try to tempt you to do anything, I just watched It means you didn't stop it."
Lei Hu's face turned pale, and suddenly something came to his mind: "You...you don't kill me, it's because you dare not kill me in front of the soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion!"
Fang Jie glanced back, seeing that all the people in Shanziying had returned to their tents, he said calmly, "You shouldn't ask me these things, even if you think about it, you shouldn't say it. If you go to beg General Luo, you may not If you can’t survive, you will go to the battlefield after a while, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will soon be reinstated or even promoted. But you are stupid again... Why do you have to make trouble with yourself again and again?"
He waved his hand: "Help Captain Lei."
After saying this, he strode away.
Chen Xiaoru threw himself forward and instantly restrained Lei Hu. He stretched out his hand and tapped Lei Hu's body a few times to seal his air pocket, Lei Hu was shocked but lost control over his body. Chen Xiaoru took a horizontal knife from a flying fish robe and stuffed it into Lei Hu's right hand, then raised his right hand and wiped it in front of his throat.
A stream of blood sprayed out from Leihu's neck, and the color of the blood waterfall looked extraordinarily red under the torch. His body was still standing there, and he could even see the blood spurting from his neck. The blade was so fast, it sliced through his skin and then his arteries like paper, with great precision.
He didn't even feel pain, only remorse.
Chen Xiaoru tapped him a few more times to undo the sealed air pocket, and Lei Hu's body fell down limply.
Fang Jie led the people forward in strides without turning back.
"Oh no!"
A cry shattered the night sky that had just calmed down, causing panic in the hearts of the soldiers who hadn't fallen asleep.
"Captain Lei committed suicide in fear of crime!"
