Chapter 984 Substitute(1/2)
When Guan Ning and his army arrived, they saw the gates of Sicheng wide open and all the military armors lined up in a welcoming manner.
He didn't expect this result. When he was marching a few days ago, someone came to report that Sicheng had been captured and was waiting for his victory.
There are light snowflakes falling in the sky, and the first snow this winter has arrived.
The soldiers lined up outside were shivering from the cold, and their legs and feet were a little stiff, but they couldn't move.
I'm afraid they never imagined that they would greet their former enemy... their current master in this way.
"It should be okay, right?"
Before the queue, Zhang Li asked Yan Peng nervously.
Zhang Li had already seen that the huge army was coming, and at this moment, he was very nervous.
He has a deep knowledge of swords and halberds, but compared with the King of Zhenbei, he is still far behind.
It only took one move to make them kill each other and almost collapse.
He won fame again and won easily.
Why did he come to this point? Isn't it because of this?
Your family, life and future are all on this, how can you not be nervous?
He has no way out.
What if the King of Zhenbei does not accept his submission at this time?
Then he is really not a human being inside and out, he is completely useless.
Zhang Li naturally had concerns, mainly because he was not strict in running the army and had repeatedly disturbed and invaded the people. This was what the King of Zhenbei hated the most, and he had specifically warned him in Fancheng.
In fact, it's not that he is lax in running the army, but that in this situation, there is really no other way...
"Don't think too much."
Yan Peng said: "Our certificate of surrender is enough, and King Zhenbei also needs to set an example for those who come after him. If he refuses to accept it, who will dare to surrender in the future?"
I have to say that these two people are also very powerful, their analysis is clear and logical, and they always focus on the dark side.
It’s not wrong to think so.
Zhang Li felt a little more at ease and stood up straighter.
He heard that the Zhenbei Army was strict in its military management and had clear rules and regulations, especially in terms of stance...
"My lord, be careful of fraud!"
At this time, they were almost at the city gate, and Pang Qingyun whispered: "If they pretend to surrender, set up an ambush in the city, and then lead our troops into the city... we will be in danger."
"General Pang's words are serious."
Gong Liangyu smiled and said: "When people are desperate, they will make some choices, and they have no other choice but to surrender, so there is no need to doubt that they will have conspiracy... It's just..."
"Just what?"
Gong Liangyu spoke again: "The troops led by these two men were blocked outside Sicheng. It was normal for them to surrender after suffering so much and had no other choice. But in this case, they all wanted to get a certificate of surrender. This is not the case."
He is a very cunning and scheming person."
"fine."
Guan Ning said calmly: "In a sense, being cunning and cunning are the same as being clever."
"That's right."
Gong Liangyu smiled and said: "To us, Your Majesty, you are extremely resourceful, but to your enemies, you are naturally cunning and cunning."
Several people came to the city gate with a smile.
"Zhang Li."
"Yan Peng."
After seeing Guan Ning, the two men first shouted out their names, and then shouted at the same time.
"Kowtow to the prince!"
"Kowtow to the prince!"
When the two of them fell silent, the sergeants standing around were shouting, and the same was true for the defenders extending from the city gate to the city.
At the same time, they knelt down on one knee in front of Guan Ning, bowed their heads and kowtowed.
Uniform and flawless.
It would never have been possible without prior training.
So licking!
Pang Qingyun and Gong Liangyu looked at each other, and both could see the admiration in each other's eyes.
These two are indeed talented people.
He put on such a posture when they first met, treating himself as a subordinate and expressing his feelings.
Of course, it is impossible to hide such a big battle. This also proves determination. The implication is that Guan Ning can dispel his worries.
We sincerely surrender.
Guan Ning also knew what they were thinking. He really didn't expect that these two people could achieve such an extent.
In fact, this kind of person is not easy to control because he is too scheming and purposeful.
Of course, this kind of person can also be called a talent. While he has this kind of scheming, he must have strong abilities.
Guan Ning was thinking and walked up to them.
The whole place was silent, and only his voice echoed outside the city.
"Do you two want to submit to my king?"
"Of course I do."
Yan and Zhang were busy talking.
"Did you know that there are three strict orders under my command?"
Zhang Li was slightly startled.
Sure enough, the inquiry led us here.
"You allow your officers and men to invade and disturb the people, and even do excessive things. This is all your fault. With such a character, do you still want to join my king?"
The two men trembled slightly, then gritted their teeth and said, "We are willing to be punished."
"good!"
Guan Ning said calmly: "You have accepted it voluntarily, not because I forced you to do so!"
"Zhang Li and Yan Peng were not strict with their subordinates and allowed their officers to harass the people and commit banditry. They should have been severely punished, but if you two repented in time and abandoned the dark side and turned to the light, you can be given a lighter punishment."
His voice spread.
"Come here, beat these two men with fifty military sticks each, and execute them immediately as a warning to others!"
For a moment, there was a sound of surprise and suspicion.
Does fifty military sticks count as a lenient sentence?
You come to surrender with a certificate of surrender, and you're beaten before you even get there?
There were two soldiers nearby who were dissatisfied and made some strange moves.
At this time, Zhang stood up and shouted loudly: "No one can move!"
"What are you doing?"
Yan Peng also directly scolded the control.
Guan Ning's punishment did not make the two of them dissatisfied, but instead they were very happy.
Because we treat them as one of our own, it is not that easy in the first place.
Not long after, soldiers responsible for enforcing military discipline came over.
Immediate execution means on-site execution.
The bench was set up and they both lay down on it.
"start!"
Guan Ning was right in front of them and uttered two words in a deep voice.
This is to establish prestige and to maintain military discipline!
This group of people has been defeated and fled many times. They have no rules for a long time and harass the people at every turn. If they are not corrected in time, they will be completely destroyed.
His majesty must be established, and if you want to submit, you must act in accordance with his rules.
Moreover, these two people are not truly honest. They surrendered to him only when they had no choice but to do so.
They must be controlled.
To be continued...
