Overlord!

Chapter 143 Killing Jiang Biao's Twelve Tiger Officials
Why did the Xuzhou family reject foreign conquerors?
Because conquest is often accompanied by killing.

When you see a young, graceful and graceful lady on the street, you only choose to admire her instead of going up to harass her. It is because of the restraint of order, not because of her high morals.

However, with the destruction of the city and the slaughter, flames erupted in the city, the order disappeared, and the wildness of the Beifu army's refugee soldiers broke out completely.

Jiangdu City is an important road for north-south transportation, and the wealth in the city can even affect the strength of Jiangdong's power. How can this be resisted by soldiers?

It is said that the end of the Han Dynasty was a world of aristocratic and powerful families, but in the face of a brutal army, no matter how strong the aristocratic and powerful families were, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

In the hands of any lord in the world, there are countless powerful and right clans that have been slaughtered.

Thousands of violent soldiers from the Beifu army raged in the city alone, several powerful families were looted, and hundreds of children of wealthy families died.

Under such circumstances, how could Xuzhou scholars not reject foreign conquest?

The worst peace is better than war. It is by no means a lie.

Fortunately, Sun Ce still has an iron cavalry in his hand, which is an elite cavalry trained by him, who is always by his side and has a good salary.Xuanjia knights, the lowest rank of soldiers, have a monthly salary of eight stones of grain, plus rewards and yearly gifts throughout the year, and their income exceeds one hundred stones, each of which is comparable to a county magistrate.The salary of only one person is enough to support a family of five, and can also buy various household items for the whole family.

So when the fire broke out in the city, Sun Ce immediately sent iron cavalry into the city and drove the Beifu army back to the camp.

By nightfall, the chaos in the city finally came to an end.

In the camp of the Chinese Army, Sun Ce summoned two Sima of the Beifu Army who were attacking the city today, Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng.

Both of them had joyful expressions on their faces. After all, they won the first battle, and the Beifu Army's combat power lived up to expectations. It was a happy event worth celebrating.

Seeing Sun Ce, the two immediately cupped their hands and said, "I greet you, General."

Pan Zhang was a jerk, grinning and said: "The general won the first battle, which is a lucky start. The general will be able to attack the emptiness of Guangling in the Northern Expedition, and he will be invincible. The great cause of the Northern Expedition will surely be successful."

Especially when he saw Sun Ce playing with a silver seal of a school lieutenant, he was even more excited.

According to the official system of the Han Dynasty, the school lieutenant has a green ribbon with a silver seal of more than two thousand stones, and Sima has a bronze seal with an ink ribbon.

He has been with the general for many years, and today he is finally going to be promoted to the captain of the silver seal and green ribbon because of his achievements in ascending first?

Sun Ce frowned and looked at the two of them in silence for a long time.

Both Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere in the tent was a bit too dignified and solemn.

Is it difficult for the general to decide who to award this silver seal to?
After being silent for a long time, Sun Ce asked, "The 54th ban on [-] beheadings, you Beifu army have learned it?"

Pan Zhang quickly replied: "I must have learned it. The captain Fengzheng in the army will preach military discipline every day, and strictly enforce the prohibition."

"Very good. Before the Northern Expedition, did you have strict military discipline as a lonely oath teacher?"

Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng were already stiff and sweating coldly.

The two swallowed nervously, not daring to answer.

Sun Ce glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Before the siege today, I also emphasized military discipline. Burning, killing, looting, and rape and silvering of women are strictly prohibited. But there are still soldiers who violated our military discipline and were caught by my guards. Let's claim it and see whose subordinates they are. Bring them in!"

Following Sun Ce's order, Jiang Qin brought Xuanjia personal guards and pushed in more than 20 soldiers who had been stripped of their armor and tied up from outside the tent.

There were bloodstains on the faces of these people, and they looked terrified.When the perpetrators become the targets of violence, their so-called cruelty and courage are all gone.

This kind of valor that bullies the weak is not the valor of a true warrior.Aggressive and aggressive, it seems brave but not.

Sun Ce got up, walked in front of them, looked down at them and said, "The benevolent must have courage. A true warrior stands alone between heaven and earth without fear. He does not follow the ruler of troubled times, and he does not behave like the people of troubled times. To prevent violence Putting down the chaos, setting up the guidelines and Chen Ji is his own responsibility, and he wants to share the suffering and joy with the world, so the wise dare to push it and praise it."

"The salary given to you alone is enough for you to stand on your own, raise your wife, and start a family business. The armaments given to you alone are enough for you to calm the troubled times, save the times and help the same kind. And look at what you have done yourself? They plundered the people, burned their hometowns, raped women, corrupted military discipline, and abused the people."

"If I don't kill you, how can I win the trust of the three armies, how can I win the trust of the world, and how can I cultivate the style of martial arts?"

Hearing Sun Ce's words, all the soldiers turned pale with fright.

The general brought out such great righteousness, they will never have a good death!
Sun Ce glanced at Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang, and said, "You two come here to claim the soldiers, and bring whoever belongs to you."

When the soldiers saw their leader, they were like drowning men, grabbing the last straw and shouting hysterically: "Sima, Sima! I know I'm wrong, please save my life!"

Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng looked at the Xuanjia soldier beside him with trepidation and broke the jaw of the soldier who made the sound, and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat.

save you?We are all in danger now!
Sun Ce watched Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng walk in among the soldiers with a blank expression, and claimed the soldiers one by one.

As he said, Confucianism has never opposed advocating martial arts, and even encourages sages to push away true bravery.

No matter how you say it, Confucian culture is an excellent culture. The national character of Zhuxia, the moral orientation of Zhuxia, and the overall national style of Zhuxia based on morality are all shaped by Confucianism.

Even advocating bravery and righteousness, punishing the strong and supporting the weak, serving the country and the people, and the Confucian spirit have formed a moral orientation for Zhu Xia.

It was never Confucianism itself that really made Confucianism the decadent and weak appearance of later generations, but the rulers who deliberately distorted and failed to uphold its spirit.

And Sun Ce is going to correct all these from the root, so that the true martial spirit of Confucianism, along with Jiangdong's heroic style and heroic spirit, can be implemented in the army and even in the world.

With Sun Ce's firm attitude, the claims of the soldiers were soon completed, and the captured soldiers were all Pan Zhang's subordinates.

Xu Sheng was overjoyed, he couldn't believe that his luck was so good?He was lucky enough to escape unharmed!
After the soldiers claimed it, Sun Ce's face was solemn, and his tone was solemn: "Anyone in our army who takes money from the common people will be executed! Pan Zhang, you are not strict in governing the army, and you even know how to break the law. The crime will be aggravated. Everyone is the head of the lord. The three armies, then hang their heads in counties and counties, and show them to the public for three days!"

Pan Zhang looked at Sun Ce in disbelief, he was a good Jiangdong general!

Zhang Zhonglang once helped him pay off his wine debt because of his talent, and recommended himself to the army.

His face was flushed, and he shouted unwillingly: "General! General! I have been fighting with you for two years. And I have repeatedly attacked the city first. There is hard work without credit! If it is only because of lax management of the army, I will kill you!" After becoming a hero, isn't the general worried about being called mean and ungrateful?"

Sun Ce said with a blank face: "If you violate military discipline today and don't kill, tomorrow someone will dare to resist and refuse to obey, and the next day someone will dare to cause chaos. In order to strictly enforce military discipline, I can only use your head. Push it down, and the owl head will pass it on." Three armies!"

Following Sun Ce's resolute attitude, Pan Zhang was directly pushed out of the tent by the guards, and a moment later a bloody head was sent to the tent.

Seeing this glaring, bloody head, all the generals of the Beifu army in the tent were shocked and terrified.

This is the oldest general in the Beifu army, and also the most outstanding general. Just because of strict military discipline, he beheaded all the soldiers!

All the generals and soldiers were shocked.Even this kind of meritorious award is because of violation of military discipline, how dare they continue to overstep the threshold?
Sun Ce's attitude is firm. The military discipline of the army depends on whether the generals spend a lot of money to rectify it.

Anyone who dares to take money from the common people will be killed.This is Yue Fei's military discipline.That's why the Yue family's army has the strict military discipline of not demolishing houses to death from freezing, and not looting to death from starvation.

Sun Ce also provided the soldiers with generous salaries, enough for them to settle down and support their relatives.

Under such circumstances, whether military discipline can be established depends only on whether the general's attitude is firm.

Lu Meng was able to kill a township party, and then banned the three armies, so that the army trembled and refused to pick up what was lost!

That is to say, gold and jade are left on the side of the road, right under the soldiers' feet, and the soldiers dare not bend down to pick them!

So anyone who says they can't enforce military discipline is making excuses for themselves.

In order to enforce military discipline, Sun Ce directly beheaded one of the famous generals of Jiangbiao's twelve tiger ministers!
Paying such a heavy price naturally made the whole army banned.The entire army of the Beifu army was terrified.Now let alone looting, even if a beautiful woman sits in their arms, they can still pay Liu Xiahui per capita!
After presenting the head to the three armies, Sun Ce walked up to Xu Sheng and looked down at him condescendingly, his brows still unfurled.

Xu Sheng was already trembling with fright, and dared not sweat.

The soldiers of the Beifu army under him are indeed a little stronger in military discipline than Pan Zhang's troops.

The main reason is that Xu Sheng himself is not as messy as Pan Zhang, so the atmosphere in the army is relatively positive.For example, when breaking the city this time, Pan Zhang also participated in the plundering and concealed the powerful property.And this stupid man is even more jealous of the wealth of some soldiers who have made a lot of money, killing soldiers and looting their wealth.Xu Sheng's style of work is relatively upright, and his subordinates are not as lawless as Pan Zhang's.

But like Lu Meng, the level of neat uniforms and awe-inspiring military discipline, he will never be able to achieve.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just be one of the Twelve Tiger Officials in Jiangbiao.However, Lu Meng was among the 72 famous generals in Wumiao.

So now that Xu Sheng is under the scrutiny of Sun Ce, his heart is like a drum beating. He knows very well that the military discipline of his subordinates will never be the same as that of Minqiu.

It was just luck that he was not caught by the general's personal guards.

Otherwise, Sima Zhong, who was shown to the public today, would have his head!

Amidst his uneasiness, he finally heard Sun Ce's faint voice: "During the process of arresting the violent soldiers by my personal guard Xuanjia knights, several soldiers were killed. I don't know who did it. Now that Pan Zhang is dead, we can only Go claim it and identify it."

In an instant, Xu Sheng felt a chill rush from his spine to his scalp. The chill completely froze his whole body, almost suffocating him.

It turned out that it was not my luck!It was the general who let him go!
Without any doubt, these rioters must have been interrogated before entering the account.

Xu Sheng can be sure that his part was directly beheaded.However, Pan Zhang's trilogy was kept, and together with him, the official punishment was enacted.

Sun Ce said in a serious tone, "I hope you can learn from it. The next time you attack the city, soldiers will massacre civilians and ruin military discipline. Pan Zhang is your lesson!"

Xu Sheng immediately pushed the golden mountain upside down and knelt in front of Sun Ce like a pillar of jade. He kowtowed heavily and said, "Thank you General Sheng for your kindness in rebuilding. This life was given by the General, and he will serve him faithfully to the death!"

Sun Ce sighed, talent is rare.

No matter how resolute he was, he couldn't cut off two of Jiang Biao's twelve tiger ministers just because the soldiers' military discipline was corrupt.

Besides, doing so is indeed a bit of a waste.

He can only choose one of the more serious ones, and he will be punished as a warning to others.

Of course, if the military discipline of the Beifu Army can't be cleared, Sun Ce doesn't mind continuing to kill at all, and Xu Sheng will be next.

Although Jiang Biao's twelve tiger ministers are indeed famous.

But in this world, there is never a shortage of talents.The so-called Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often exist.

It is because if you use it, you will become a dragon, and if you don't use it, you will become a worm.

Liu Bang only used a group of heroes from Peixian County to conquer the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang's 24 fellow villagers were all famous generals in the world.Even the talents of Xiahou's family and Cao's family around Cao Cao were famous at the end of Han Dynasty.

Is it really because the stars descended from the sky to help the king to calm down the troubled times?

It's just that because of being given important tasks, talents can be used.

Pan Zhang is a villain who can kill Guan Yu when he is reused.

Sun Ce believed that as long as he strictly enforced military discipline and sent strong generals to the ranks, he would surely be able to produce a large number of strong generals not weaker than Pan Zhang.

Therefore, the strict military discipline of the army is more important than anyone else!
When Xu Sheng left, Lu Su asked in amazement: "Is it worth it for the general to kill such a general for the sake of embarrassment?"

This kind of thing can be regarded as beheading Ma Di with tears.

Whether it's worth it or not depends on how the general thinks about it.

Sun Ce has always believed that strict military discipline is more important than any general.

Therefore, generals like Gan Ning will never be as good as generals such as Lu Meng, Xu Huang, and Zhuge Liang in the eyes of Sun Ce who can make the army disciplined.

Lu Mengneng was ranked among the 72 famous generals of the Wu Temple, not only because of the defeat of Guan Yu.Just like Wuhou can be ranked among the top ten philosophers of the Wu Temple, it is not only because of his record, but more importantly, his level of army management and military art achievements.

Sun Ce handed the silver seal and green ribbon to Lu Su, and said: "Military discipline is the fundamental guarantee of combat power. If military discipline is corrupted, combat power cannot last long. The Xiliang army has made great martial arts and is invincible in the world. But burning, killing and robbery Luo, in just three to five years, his combat strength was so low that he was about to be defeated by a group of white wave thieves and Guanzhong Qiangliang."

"Qing is also a northerner. I hope that Qing can live up to his high expectations, clear up the military discipline of the Beifu Army, continue to strengthen the Beifu Army, and train it to become a powerful army in the world!"

That's right, this silver seal and green ribbon is not for Pan Zhang or Xu Sheng, but for Lu Su.

Although Lu Su is famous for his strategy, he is a real general, one of the four governors of Soochow, not a civil servant.

He was able to shoot through the scull with one arrow, go to the meeting single-handedly, and shocked Guan Yu and other Jingzhou generals who could not answer.

Moreover, he is from Dongcheng, Xuzhou, and he is one of the best commanders in command of the Beifu Army.

The most important source of soldiers for the Beifu Army is the Jianghuai generals from the Huaisi area.

Sun Ce took down Xuzhou not for the sake of fame, but naturally hoped to further expand the strength of his army.
